I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

After returning from Wild Brocade Ranch, Dolan's team finally resumed their daily training.

We get up at 6:30 every morning, wash up, have breakfast at the hotel, and then gather on the beach at 7:20 to begin training.

Orn's plan still focuses on endurance and strength training, with speed training being secondary.

With the help of the special shoes he made, the horse girls in Dolan's squad were able to break through their original speed limits more easily. To achieve this, having enough stamina was the key thing they needed to pay attention to.

As the festival approached, the horse girls at the hotel began to slack off during training, much to the dismay of their trainers, who had been under considerable stress for the past two months.

It's called a summer training camp, but it's really just a fierce competition between the horse girls and the trainers. After providing the horse girls with plenty of training, they really train them to the point of exhaustion.

Let them rest during these last ten days!

So during this time, you can see many horse girls playing and frolicking on the beach. Of course, you can also see the strange training methods of Dolan's team.

"Hey, Ornn, your training methods have been all over the trainers' chat group, you know?"

"Many people say you are a bad person who is [unemployed], [a fraud], [a crook of connections], and [abducts underage girls]. What do you think about this?"

Sakura Chiyo's trainer, Sato, was lying on the sofa. She looked up at Orn, who was hitting Chiyo's knee with a hammer, and asked, "Should I go and explain for you? Otherwise, these guys might report this to the chairman or the student council president, and that would be troublesome."

Orn shrugged indifferently, holding Chiyo's right ankle in his hand. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Hmm... the recovery is going quite well. Judging from the current situation, she should be fully recovered by early September."

"However, considering the time required for rehabilitation training, the earliest he can return to the field is early October."

"Really?! He recovered so quickly!?"

Sakura Chiyoou twitched her ears and said excitedly, "If I can recover by the beginning of October... then that means I can participate in the Autumn Flower Singing Award, the Emperor's Singing Award, the Daily Crown Kyoto Grand Singing Ceremony, and even the Japan Cup and Queen Elizabeth Cup in November!"

"Ah! I'm sorry, Mr. Orn! I was too excited!"

Orn smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing. It's understandable to be excited to hear that I've recovered."

"However, my speculation is based on the premise that the subsequent treatment is effective. Don't worry, just let the injury heal slowly."

Sato got up from the sofa, went over and ruffled Chiyo's hair, then turned to look at Orn.

She asked, "Orn, thank you so much for helping Chiyo this time. Don't you really need me to deal with those rumors for you?"

"Don't let my being a trainer from the same cohort as you fool you; I know a lot of people, you know?"

Orn rested his chin on his hand, pretending to be deep in thought: "Hey, Sato, why are these people so keen on tattling?"

Sato sighed, "It's all because your team members are all so capable that it makes you, the trainer, look like you're just slacking off. Of course, they think they could do it too!"

"If they can get rid of you, they'll have a chance to sign Ma Niang from Dolan's team. Of course, these people will do these underhanded things!"

Orn thought for a moment, then asked, "If I leave these people alone, besides the situation described above, what other impact will it have on me?"

Seeing that the young man, who was two years younger than him, was unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Sato quickly said, "Of course it will have an impact! If we ignore them, and these people write reports about you and submit them to the board of directors, it will be bad!"

"You'll be placed on a list of people under close supervision, and the student council or board of directors will come to monitor you every day. Your application form and training plan will be subject to much stricter scrutiny. It will be much harder to pull strings and get things done then!"

Looking at the anxious Sato, Orn asked in confusion, "But I also have to submit compliant plans for inspection every time, right? This is just submitting one more copy, what's the problem?"

Sato grew anxious and said, "Owen! You have no idea! If too many people gossip, the board of directors will get fed up with them and make some very difficult demands on you! They'll kick you out to appease the public's anger!"

"For example, your team must win the G1-level tournament this year! Do you know how difficult that is?!"

Ornn made a bear-like shrug, looking even more confused: "But I already won a G1-level tournament this year!"

Sato was speechless at Orn's words. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "No...it's not just that! If they spread rumors, the fans won't believe them!"

"It'll definitely cause a huge uproar online, and maybe even the URA Association will get involved in the investigation! If things get out of hand, it might even affect the horse girls' training!"

Orn reached for his phone, scrolled through it, and then showed several photos.

The photo uses a tilted composition and was taken at dusk. The angle is quite hidden; judging from the blurred halo around it, it appears to have been taken in the grass.

The photos mostly show trainers from other teams engaging in intense training sessions, with the female horses looking pained, rolling their eyes, and sticking their tongues out.

The trainers, on the other hand, looked refreshed, holding soda and fruit, seemingly engrossed in a competition to see whose horse was more tired, resembling sinful slave owners.

He then showed another set of photos. Compared to the previous photos with their dark tones, this set of photos was brightly colored and had a stable composition. They were completely different!

The photos show the Dolan team playing on the beach, having a great time, drinking chilled juice, and there are even several photos of them camping, fishing, and going for a drive.

The horses' faces were beaming with smiles, and that joy was palpable even through the photos, a stark contrast to the previous sets of pictures.

Orn explained, "Look, these are training photos of other horse girls, and the ones behind them are photos of Dolan's team training regularly. If I post these photos online, do you think these people will be criticized?"

"Hey, hey, hey... wait a minute,"

Sato reached out and grabbed Orn's wrist. She asked, "Orn! You're taking pictures without my permission!! You know you're breaking the law!!"

"That's not right. No matter what kind of phone or camera it is, it should make a lot of noise when taking pictures. Why weren't you noticed taking pictures?"

Orn, however, said nonchalantly, "What law did I break? This phone was a gift from a relative who lives in Hawaii. What's wrong with me using his phone to take some photos for him?"

"However, when I sent the photos to him, I accidentally sent them to the wrong person, and that person also accidentally posted them on America~~'s private forum. The moderator of this America~~ private forum happens to be a fan of Japanese mascot girls, and he also happens to be a journalism student. Oh! Then he just happened to discover that these photos were training photos of Japanese mascot girls, so he just happened to repost them on mascot Twitter."

"As luck would have it, these photos were seen by the fans of those horse girls. They checked the time and were surprised to find that the photos were taken only two or three days ago,"

“Angry fans naturally wouldn’t cause a ruckus at Central Tresonne, nor could they cause a ruckus at the Wakkanai Hotel in Hokkaido. Not knowing the addresses of those damned trainers, they naturally couldn’t cause a ruckus at the trainers’ homes,”

"Where can they go? Hey! They can only cause a ruckus at the URA Racing Association headquarters!"

What a coincidence! What an accident!

After hearing Orn's story of coincidences, Sato fell into a long silence.

If the story unfolds according to his imagined coincidences, then those who instigated the horse girls to engage in cutthroat competition will ultimately be the ones to suffer the consequences.

Hmm... It seems... maybe... this guy really doesn't need to worry about these things?

Orn washed the golden cloth that had previously wrapped Sakura Chiyo's right foot several times, then said, "For the next few days, Chiyo, try the non-medicated application method to see how it works. After the day after tomorrow, go to the school doctor for a diagnosis. Got it?"

Chiyo nodded, and Orn put away the cloth in his hand.

Unlike the lengthy treatment of Chiyo-oh, treating Nogishi Souichirou's chronic illness will not take as long.

According to traditional medicine experience, if the treatment is appropriate, the body can quickly recover to normal within two or three days.

If the condition doesn't improve after seven or eight days, then the problem likely lies with the prescription and the herbs used; they simply can't provide a quick cure.

Dean Soichiro's ailment wasn't just physical weakness; his inner guilt and regret were also contributing factors to his mental decline. Under immense psychological pressure, his immune system naturally weakened.

After Orn hands the cloth to Souichirou, his body should recover to about 70% within three days at most.

All that's left is to take good care of yourself, and you'll recover naturally soon.

Sato, who was sitting to the side, sighed, stood up, patted Orn on the shoulder, and said, "Well, it seems you were indeed prepared. These things shouldn't affect you."

"However, Orn, I still have to remind you, it's easy to get along with a gentleman, but hard to guard against a scoundrel. As the Dolan team plays more and more matches and wins more and more honors, there will always be some people who have ulterior motives."

"This is not an exaggeration. Many of the seniors I know have been subjected to this kind of unwarranted attack, including Senior Okino!"

"Senior Okino?"

Ornn thought for a moment, and the image of that arrogant senior with the afro seemed to appear before his eyes.

Sato continued, "Yes, I heard that when the Golden Ship was still active in the arena, Okino-senpai suffered a lot of attacks, not only from his colleagues but also from his fans."

"Colleagues felt that Golden Ship was too unruly, and as the trainer, Chongye needed to take leadership responsibility. Fans felt that Golden Ship deliberately threw matches on the field, causing them to waste their money."

"Both the URA Association and the school board have pressured him, wanting to revoke his Special Grade Trainer certificate and send him home immediately!"

"If it weren't for the good relationship he had with those respected seniors at the school, plus the support of Tojo Hana, the current strongest Rigil team's trainer, Okino-senpai might be raising horses in Teresen, Okinawa by now!"

"If I'm unlucky, I might end up going abroad!"

Upon hearing this, Ornn suddenly burst out laughing for some reason. Why did this sound so much like an ancient form of exile?

The thought of Okino, with his wild, unruly horse-like face, holding a lollipop in one hand and a small stool in the other, sitting on Yaeyama Island, the southernmost island of Japan...

A group of little pony girls ran around the stool. Okino would occasionally sigh, shouting cries of "Oh no! God, I'm doomed!!" while gazing towards Tokyo and making a sighing gesture.

"Don't worry, if they dare to attack, we will make sure they suffer a crushing defeat!"

He said with a smile, "Actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let Senior Okino go fishing in Okinawa. At least it would improve his health and prevent him from being a useless person stuck in the office, right?"

"Yes, yes, I also think that Senior Okino is usually a bit too lazy... No, no! Orn! I'm telling you this very seriously!"

Sato nodded, then shook her head, looking at Orn with a hint of reproach, and said, "Fine! Anyway, since you already have a plan, I'm too lazy to care!"

"In short, remember, if you encounter anything you can't handle, contact me, or Senior Okino, or Senior Tojo Hana, everyone will help you!"

"Chiyo-oh, let's go!"

After seeing Sato off, Orn also left the hotel, driving to deliver the cloth he was carrying to the Nonishi Ranch.

The ranch was undergoing unprecedented and massive changes. Even when Ornn's car was still some distance from the ranch, he could already see a continuous convoy of vehicles.

After parking the car, led by the soldiers, and navigating winding mountain roads, Orn finally found a makeshift teaching area.

More accurately, it was a makeshift classroom pieced together from several tents.

Nantian Longsan came out to greet him with a smile, saying, "Yo! Little brother Orn, why did you come alone? Are the kids still training?"

Orn nodded, waved the herbal packet in his hand at the uncle, and said, "I'm here mainly to deliver Chinese medicine. This packet will guarantee a cure!"

Immediately afterwards, he repeated the same talking points he used to deal with Sato and Chiyo to Uncle Nantian.

After explaining everything, Orn handed the [Blessing Yellow Cloth] to Uncle Nantian, smiling as he said, "If you need to urinate frequently after taking this medicine, that's normal. Don't worry, just drink more water."

"Remember what I told you, and don't forget to wear my ancestral feng shui cloth on your person! Don't forget!"

Nantian Longsan nodded very solemnly. As people get older, they tend to believe in these kinds of mystical things.

Besides, this is also a way to get good luck, so Uncle Nantian will definitely remember it carefully.

After delivering the items, Ornn bought some snacks along the way and returned to the hotel to continue supervising the training of the Dolan team.

On August 28th, two hours before the start of the Tresson Summer Festival,

Shining Radiance placed her drink on the beach, then went to the coconut tree where Dolan's team had been training for the past two months and relaxed, lying down.

She stretched, then slid her limbs up and down on the sand, relaxing her body completely.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

"Awesome!! The celebration is almost here!! There won't be any more preparations to stop me!!"

"These past few days have been all about moving things, or moving food, or running with them. I'm exhausted!"

"But now, I'll be free soon!!"

Shining with newfound radiance, she sat up, reached for her boots, took them off, and tossed them aside casually.

"Ha, that's strange. We shouldn't have had any training after we came back from that ranch, but why am I still so tired every day?"

She lay on the beach, tilting her head to look at the boots she had taken off beside her.

"There really wasn't any training. Even our benefactor didn't specifically make us run or anything... Apart from the running practice we did with Tamamo-senpai, we just played in the water wearing these shoes..."

".......wrong."

Shining Radiance sat bolt upright, turning her head to the side, staring at the boots with a terrified expression.

"Oh no!! We're playing in the water and carrying things in our shoes, isn't this training?!"

"Damn it! It must be because I've been following my benefactor for too long! My perception has been warped!!!"

"Damn it! No wonder my benefactor's expression has been so strange these past few days! Turns out he already noticed we were still habitually playing with our shoes on! So he deliberately kept quiet!!!"

Shining Radiance lay sprawled on the beach, pounding the ground with her fists and weeping, crying, "Damn it!! You bastard benefactor!! Give me back my vacation!!"

"No wonder I got more and more tired while playing! Turns out this was what was waiting for me!!! So funny!!!"

"Next time... I definitely will next time..."

Orn looked at the little deer in front of him performing performance art and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Radiance, what are you doing? Stop embarrassing yourself here. If you want to go crazy, go back to your dorm."

The brand-new, gleaming boots lay limply on the ground. Ornn glanced at the boots scattered beside them and chuckled, comforting them, "It's alright, you've been wearing those shoes for so long anyway, it's normal to get used to them."

"The direction is clear. I won't ask you to wear those shoes for the next three days."

With her face buried in the sand, Little Deer Hair asked in a muffled voice, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, because... the festival is about to begin!"
