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

Just like when the dojo was first renovated, they lingered around the building, reluctant to leave.

It wasn't until a disciple from the dojo came forward to explain that the crowd slowly dispersed.

After a long silence, the old man finally spoke: "I... no, I am no longer the so-called 'Nagoya Swordsman'. As an old man, it is time for me to step down from this stage. Now it is the era of the young."

"Asuka did a great job. Under his leadership, the dojo will surely flourish, right?"

"Sixth Brother, I hope you will take good care of him from now on. Although he is still a bit impulsive, he is now capable of shouldering great responsibilities and standing on his own."

Kitajima Rokuro threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, stomped it out, and nodded, saying, "Alright, that kid is quite promising. I'll send someone to train him later."

The roar of an engine echoed from the mountain road; a police car was driving towards the two from the bottom of the mountain.

After the police car came to a stop, a middle-aged man in work clothes got out. The medals on his shoulders identified him.

The man walked straight up to the old man, bowed respectfully, and said, "Teacher, do you remember me?"

Miyazaki Hidetoshi looked at the junior in front of him, who was more than ten years younger than him, and smiled, "So you're Inspector Megaku, no... you should be called Superintendent Megaku now, right? I heard from Kawatsuru that you were forced to marry Uma-chan?"

The fourth rank of police officer in Japan is the Superintendent General, above which are the Superintendent General, Superintendent Inspector General, and Superintendent General.

The vigilant officer chuckled somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem, the teacher is right, I had no choice... no, no, it should be mutual affection! Mutual affection!"

"Thanks to you, if I hadn't learned martial arts from you twenty years ago, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

"Mr. Kitajima has told me the general situation. If it's convenient for you, why don't you ride in my car? Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been to Central Teresen."

The old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Heh, as the police chief, shouldn't you be keeping an eye on these people behind me? They're a source of social instability!"

Inspector Megure said seriously, "Mr. Kitajima is a major taxpayer and a highly successful businessman. How could he be a destabilizing factor in society? Even if he's a teacher, you can't slander someone's innocence out of thin air, can you?"

"not to mention......"

As he spoke, the vigilant officer opened one eye, then closed the other, and gave the old man a meaningful smile.

"Haha, okay, okay, then I'll take my leave first."

Seemingly relieved, Miyazaki Hidetoshi waved to Kitajima and Satomi Kazutsugu in the taxi, then turned and walked towards the back seat of the police car.

"By the way, Liulang."

Before boarding the bus, the old man suddenly looked at Kitajima and said, "Tell him for me that I owe him a favor this time, but if we meet again in the Japanese derby, I won't hold back."

After saying that, the old man closed the car door and drove off down the mountain with a whoosh.

Satomi Kazutsugu stepped out of the taxi, looked at Kitajima Rokuro, and said with a wry smile, "Heh, he actually managed to collect them all."

"With this kind of momentum, Oguri Hat has no choice but to participate."

Rokuro Kitajima nodded, looking down at the dojo below the hillside, and said, "Yes, let's see if his beloved horse can bring more miracles."

"Six months of training, and they've already won one of the classic treble titles in the Japanese derby, huh... they've got real ambition!"

Satomi Kazuru raised an eyebrow, looked at his old friend, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Kitajima, you don't really think he can win, do you? No matter what, this is just too..."

Kitajima Rokuro asked with a smile, "Why is it impossible? Just like, could you guess that Miyazaki Hidetoshi would give up his honor as a swordsman? Besides, there are so many impossibilities in a competition. Do you remember what kind of horse girl they said would win the Japanese derby?"

"What kind of horse girl...?"

Satomi Kazuru seemed to have thought of something, and he laughed as well: "Yes, the horse that wins the Satsuki Prize is the fastest horse, and the horse that wins the Kikuka Prize is the strongest horse."

"And the Japanese derby is the luckiest horse girl."

"Everything that kid is doing now is taking on the responsibility that luck has bestowed upon him!"

Kitajima Rokuro turned and climbed into the back seat of the taxi, saying, "We old guys will just go crazy with him. Anyway, he's already signed the contract with us. Whether we win or lose, whoever wins the Japanese derby in the end, we'll still win!"

"Now all we need to consider is whether it's a small win, a medium win, or a big win!"

"Kawakatsu, drive! We should head back!"

Satomi Kawatsuru sighed, got into the driver's seat, and started the engine.

"Yes, yes, General."

Chapter 80: Anyone who can face Oguri Cap without laughing for ten seconds will receive a top reward.

"Hey! Oguri! Over here!!"

At Kasamatsu Station, Shining Radiance waved to Ash-haired Horse Girl, who had just gotten off the train, and said with a smile, "March and I both saw your race! You were really amazing!"

As he spoke, the deer-haired man mimicked the signature move of a famous martial arts star, saying, "Oguri is like a 'whoosh, ha ha, hey!' knocking all the enemies to the ground! It's so cool!!"

Little Chestnut Hat stared blankly at the brand-new Radiance. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the deer-haired figure in front of her, "Hmm, Radiance, Tuona asked me to tell you that she's very grateful for your tutoring and also said..."

"Hmm, what did Tuona say again? Ah! I remember now, he said, 'If you can continue to help me with my studies day and night, you can become like a famous general from ancient times!'"

Seemingly to bolster the credibility of her statement, Oguri Hat said with a serious expression, "Yes, if I remember correctly, that's exactly what Tuoren said!"

Shining with newfound radiance, she naturally harbored no suspicion. Hands on her hips, she said smugly, "It seems our benefactor has excellent judgment! Brilliant! Very Brilliant! Extremely Brilliant!"

"Since my benefactor trusts me so much, I, Lord Glorious, will surely give him even more surprises! Haha!"

Of the three, only Fujimasa had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Based on her understanding of Oguri Hat, the other party must have missed some syllables while relaying the message.

She coughed lightly and asked, "Xiao Li, where is Orn? He couldn't possibly have come back in the same car as you, could he?"

Little Chestnut Hat pointed to the area on either side of the long-distance bus where suitcases were placed, and only then did Orn's figure emerge from the back of the vehicle.

He was carrying a hiking backpack, pulling a suitcase in one hand, and holding five or six plastic bags in the other, as if he had just gone out to buy something for free.

"Why are you looking at me? Didn't I buy souvenirs for everyone in Kasamatsu? This is also a reward for their support of the March! I can't let them come for nothing, can I?"

Orn walked up to the three of them, smiled, raised his chin, and said, "I'm leaving! Although I was only gone for three days, it felt like I hadn't been back for a week. How's your training going? You didn't slack off while I was gone, did you?"

Looking at the bags and pouches in the man's hands, a rare radiance flickered in her usually gloomy heart, perhaps because she had just been praised.

She stepped forward, grabbed the bag from Orn's hand, and said, "Since my benefactor remembered to bring a souvenir, let my newfound brilliance help ease some of your burden!"

Having said that, she prepared to snatch her favorite carrot gummy candies from the gift bag while Orn loosened his grip.

'Hmph, plan pass り,'

'I'll pretend to help my benefactor carry the packages, so they'll be moved to tears, and I can secretly steal a few jars of my favorite gummy candies,'

'Hehehe, this is a two-birds-with-one-stone plan. It seems I'm helping to lighten the load for my benefactor, but actually I'm secretly using underhanded tactics!'

The newly radiant radiance maintained a smile on her right cheek, facing her benefactor, but on her left cheek, the corner of her mouth turned up like a crunchy chip.

'Heh! Now all I need to do is wait for my benefactor to run out of strength and let go, and I'll achieve my goal!! Humans can't defy horse girls, and even if my benefactor is strong, I'm still no match for her in terms of power...'

'Huh!? I feel like I've gotten taller!?'

The sudden increase in perspective startled Xin Guanghui from her unrealistic fantasies. She looked down in confusion, only to be surprised to find that she had been lifted up by her benefactor!

The corners of Radiant's mouth drooped, but Ornn's lips began to curve upwards.

He had long seen through the deer-haired horse girl's ill intentions. Sure enough, her purpose was not to help him relieve stress, but to try to snatch food from a tiger's mouth. She deserves to be punished!

Ornn simply picked up Brand New Glorious, who was pulling on the plastic bag, as if he were the plastic bag itself. Due to the huge difference in height, Brand New Glorious was now hanging in the air with both hands tightly gripping the plastic bag!

A glint flashed in the eyes of the girl in the chestnut hat behind them. She said in a calm voice, "Torena, I want to play this too."

A radiant new light cried out, "Kuri!! This is clearly not a joke!! My benefactor! I was wrong! Let me down!!!"

"Impossible! It can't be possible! How could my benefactor be so strong!?"

As she spoke, she seemed to flutter about like a fisherman easily pulling up a pert lip.

After seeing Ornn nod, the girl in the chestnut hat stepped forward, grabbed Ornn's free right hand, and then looked at Ornn with expectant eyes.

Orn sighed, raised his right hand, and hoisted the chestnut hat up as well.

Accompanied by a strange cry of newfound brilliance and an unintelligible groan from Oguri Hat, the three of them ran towards the station exit like social terrorists.

Fujimasa's face was flushed, not just flushed, but also burning hot.

Her toes gripped the soles of her shoes, and after a brief silence, she caught up with the three people who had already rushed dozens of meters ahead.

'Seriously! It's one thing for Hikaru to go crazy, but why is Oguri joining in the nonsense too!'

'Damn it! Doesn't this make me look like the only normal person?'

The light blue-haired horse girl stormed out of the station. She glanced at the bag on Orn's back and couldn't help but swallow hard.

But she immediately came to her senses, shook her head, and said to Orn, "This is too dangerous! Orn! Put them down!"

Orn chuckled, "This is indeed not very safe. It's best to play inside Treson."

"Radiant, Oguri, we've landed!"

When the brand-new, radiant light touched the ground, his whole body went limp, and he almost lost his balance.

She bent over, supporting herself on her knees, and looked at Orn with a resentful gaze, muttering, "That was terrifying! My benefactor, don't you know I have a fear of heights! Don't play such dangerous games again!"

Orn shrugged and said, "If you hadn't secretly come to cause trouble, I wouldn't have teased you!"

He suddenly changed the subject, scrutinizing the newly gleaming forearm, and said, "Why do I feel like you've gotten fatter lately? Be honest, you haven't been slacking off, have you?"

"How!! How is this possible!!"

The ears on the newly radiant head twitched, then turned to the sides of her head.

"I've competed in Tokyo before! How could I possibly slack off in my training!?"

As she spoke, she looked at Orn with a determined gaze, as if it were the most natural thing in the world and that she was absolutely not lying.

Ornn, however, didn't look into her eyes; instead, he stared at the ears on Glorious's newly sculpted head.

According to the training manual given to him by Satomi Kazutsugu, horse girls' ears generally turn in the direction they are looking. If they are looking in the direction of the trainer, but their ears are pointing in another direction,

That's either because they were distracted, or they were lying! They're guilty!

Ornn turned to look at Fujisaka March, who was staring intently at his back, and asked, "March, has Glorious been eating a lot of candy these past few days?!"

"Ah... ah?"

Seemingly just waking up, Fujimasa ignored the winking and smirking of the newly radiant woman and nodded, saying, "Yes, she has indeed been eating a lot lately."

Oh no!

The newly radiant figure lowered its head dejectedly and obediently went to help Ornn carry the bags, acting as a porter.

Orn looked at the Kasamatsu Tressen school gate that appeared not far away and said, "It's alright, we can just make up for the extra food that Glorious ate by training twice as hard."

"Don't look at me like that. This is what happens when you can't control your mouth."

"This week's march practice has focused on speed and power. I'll develop a more detailed plan after the test when we get back,"

"As for Oguri, well... let's get you in the right mindset. You might not be able to fully master the second skill, so I want to try and see if I can teach you something more useful,"

"After all, the Japanese derby isn't far off!"

Fujimasa was taken aback by this, and quickly asked, "Oguri, can Oguri participate now!?"

Ornn nodded and said, "That's enough. I've basically collected all the cards in my hand now."

"The Japanese derby will be held in a week. I will go to the association in three days, and then I can focus on preparing for the match."

Chapter 81 is... beginning to take shape!

Upon returning to Kasamatsu, Tengzheng discovered that Orn was always distracted during training.

This doesn't mean Orn is neglecting their training; on the contrary, he's made the training arrangements even more detailed. He's even prepared all the necessary ingredients for foot baths when they return to their dorms or home each day. He's practically writing down in the training plan which foot to step out with first each morning and how to distinguish the front from the back of socks.

During training, Tengzheng March often saw Aoun standing still or squatting on the ground drawing something with a twig. Sometimes, unemployed people would come over and discuss things with him.

For example, Kitahara, who is currently preparing for exams, and Shibasaki, who doesn't have many competitions scheduled.

But as soon as the Tengzheng March gets close, Ornn will silently destroy the pattern drawn under his feet, and then start asking all sorts of strange questions in a way that Ornn can't understand.

She quickly sought out the other two members of Dolan's team to ask, but looking into Oguri's innocent yet wise eyes, Tengzheng March felt a thousand words stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single one.

The newly radiant woman seemed unconcerned about the matter, casually remarking, "I think this might just be a man's hobby!"

Teng Zheng frowned and said, "Hobbies? What hobbies do three grown men have? Where are you going for a spa?"

"no~nono~"

Shining Radiance shook her finger and said mysteriously, "March, haven't you noticed anything in common between Shibasaki, Kitahara, and our benefactor?"

"What special characteristics could they possibly have? They're all males?"

With a chuckle, she extended her index finger, making a gesture reminiscent of the Grim Reaper elementary school student.

"You're wrong! Why would they be secretly discussing things behind our backs? Why would their eyebrows suddenly furrow during their conversation, and then they suddenly burst into laughter? Why don't they want us pretty girls to see?"
