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

Yae Muti thought for a moment, then bowed to Tamamo Cross and Komiyayama and said, "Alright, then I'll leave the rest to you two."

"Well, you don't need to be so polite! It makes us feel really embarrassed."

Tamamo Cross reached out and scratched the embroidered ball tied to her ear, revealing two tiger teeth as she smiled and said, "After all, we're going to participate in the Takarazuka Memorial Race soon. Being able to run with promising juniors before the race is a good way to prepare!"

Yae Musou and Tamamo exchanged a knowing smile, about to offer each other some more modesty, when a sharp, piercing explosion, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, came from the playground not far from them.

A deer-haired pony came running past the three of them, waving her arms and legs. She wore metal plate boots that looked very heavy, and were indeed very heavy, which clanged loudly with each swaying step.

The three of them stared blankly as the female horse waddled to a male trainer a short distance ahead. Then, the man pulled out a hammer and slammed it hard into the female deer-mane horse's knee!

“Gah!”

Tamamo Cross was startled. She pointed at the man who was constantly swinging the hammer and looked at Komiyama, saying, "This! Is this really not abusing the horse girl!?"

"Look at that deer-haired man's face! It's twisted into a chrysanthemum shape!! Komiyama! We have to go save him!!"

Chapter 115 Joining the "Loving Family" Work Group

"Quick! Gu Mei! We have to go save them!"

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed her trainer, pulling them toward the thug.

Komiyama frowned. Although she felt that since the other party held a trainer's license, they wouldn't do such a thing in front of everyone,

But just as Tamamo Cross said, both the way the man swung the hammer and the horse girl's pained expression were simply too terrifying.

Komiyama hesitated briefly, then nodded and said, "In Central Tressen, any act of abuse will be brought to justice!"

"Tamamo! Let's go see what he's up to!"

"Brand new glory! What the hell are you doing?!"

Ornn gripped the hammer in his hand, looking up with some displeasure at the newly emerged Radiance, who was sitting on a chair by the playground, covering his face with his hands, writhing from side to side like a maggot, and emitting strange cries.

"Why are you covering your face and twisting around like that? It's not like it's anything shameful! I'll do my thing, you can just rest!"

Shining radiance pressed her flushed cheeks tightly, and a few words escaped her lips: "No... benefactor! The key is... when you hit my leg... that feeling, it felt so awful!!"

"Ugh... Damn it, why didn't Oguri and March react much when they were hit?! My benefactor, did you secretly hit harder?!"

Ornn spun the hammer in his hand once, then slightly reduced the force of his blows as he struck the newly radiant Radiance's knee.

He said, "Just bear with it. According to my experiments, the weaker a person's constitution, the stronger their reaction will be when they are hit. After a few more times, they will develop resistance. Look at Xiao Li now, he hardly makes any sound at all, right?"

Shining Brightly thought to himself, "That's because Oguri's senses are too dull! I suspect that even if she were hit by a car, her expression wouldn't change!! Waaah... My benefactor! You!! Be gentle! I can't take it anymore!!"

Ornn said speechlessly, "Go even lighter? Any lighter and it won't be effective."

"Radiance, just bear with it. This is an important way for you to become stronger!"

Hearing the trainer say that, the newly radiant clenched his teeth and endured the almost bone-deep itching sensation.

Ornn patted her legs all over, then patted her newly radiant back, indicating that she could go back to her run.

He then turned around and looked at the two people who were secretly watching him operate, asking, "So... what brings you two here? Peeping isn't good, you know?"

Tamamo Cross finally realized what was happening. She pointed at Orn and shouted, "You! How could you hit the horse girl's knee with a hammer! That's too dangerous!"

"That's a massage, a massage!"

Ornn had already come up with a plausible excuse for his strange behavior. He looked at Komiyayama and said, "I guess you're this little guy's trainer? You should be able to tell that my hammer strikes aren't just random, aimless hitting, right?"

"Hey! Who are you calling short?!"

Komiyayama helplessly pulled back the angry Tamamo, and nodded, saying, "If you insist on calling it a massage... it's not entirely wrong, it's just that the method is a bit unusual."

Just like those trainers from prominent families, each family has its own unique secrets. For example, the Kiryuin family's eldest daughter, whose physical strength is extraordinary, possesses a special family inheritance called the "Trainer White Paper."

It seems this newcomer named Ornn might have some unique skills.

"Hehe, but this must be the first time Trainer Orn has met us, right? Although I heard from Tamamo that her roommate is a member of Dolan's team, I think you probably don't know us yet,"

Komiyama extended her right hand, smiling as she introduced herself: "My name is Komiyama Komi, and I've been a trainer at Central Treson for seven years."

"This is my current main character, Tamamo Cross. Although she's not very big, she's very strong!"

Orn also reached out and shook hands with Komiyayama. He nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Orn, a local trainer who transferred from Kasamatsu the day before yesterday. I've been here for three months, so I'm still considered a newcomer."

Three months? Does that mean the time after he became a full-fledged trainer? That means he has a year of experience leading horse girls? If that's the case, he's quite a talent!

Komiyama asked curiously, "I've heard Miyazaki mention you before, but you haven't announced the transfer to a different club yet, have you? Was it arranged by the president?"

"Yes, President Rudolf helped us complete the formalities two days in advance. According to her, the official announcement of our nationality transfer will be made today, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Orn added, "At the same time, we also need to formally register with the student council, add the work group, revise the training plan, submit an application to the dormitory manager to use certain training equipment, and various other miscellaneous things."

Listening to Orn rattle off a long list of things like a menu, Tamamo Cross reminded him, "Ah, if you need training equipment, you can just go to Fujikishi and Ryuko Amazon. As long as you explain the purpose, you can borrow it and return it on the same day. You don't need to fill out that complicated application."

Komiyama Komi also said, "Tamamo is right. As for adding the work group you mentioned... I can help you with that right now."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed a QR code, saying, "Here, this is the work group. The chairman and Ms. Tsuna usually communicate anything in this group."

"You can change your group nickname to your real name, or add 'T' after your assigned nickname. Both are acceptable."

Orn opened LINE and joined the group chat. The group's name was quite normal: "Central Treson Trainer Work Group."

He glanced through the group chat member list. The group owner's profile picture was a cat perched on a sun hat. There were three administrators, one of whom was an old acquaintance named Surugawa Tezuna, who wore a green hat and a green uniform and had once stopped Orn from riding his three-wheeled motorcycle into the campus.

As for the other two administrators, one of them, nicknamed "Acting Chairman," has a profile picture that looks like a passport photo—a woman with long, curly black hair, staring intently at the camera with light gold eyes.

Another administrator, nicknamed "Vice Chairman of the Academy," has a profile picture of a middle-aged man who looks intimidating. Like the acting chairman, he also uses a photo as his profile picture.

To be honest, the moment Orn first saw the vice chairman's profile picture, he already sensed that this guy was terrifyingly strong.

He and Hidetoshi Miyazaki... are definitely the same kind of people!

"Isn't this Nase Eito-senpai? As expected, you also thought he looked intimidating, didn't you?"

Komiyama Komi also saw Orn's phone screen, and she continued, "If Master Miyazaki is the pinnacle of Central Treson in terms of 'martial arts,' then this senior Eijin is the 'literary arts,' right?"

"It's said that Acting Chairperson Riko Honma is his student. Although I don't quite agree with her thorough management training program, it does show how powerful Senior Eito is, doesn't it?"

Tamamo shook her head and said, "To be honest, these two are both too dull! They always have a straight face and don't say a word. Just standing there is enough to scare people to death!"

"I even think these two have mastered the skill 'Looking Down on All Directions,' and I'm always terrified when I walk past them."

Hearing the complaints from the person he was responsible for, Komiyama couldn't help but smile wryly, "Although it's not good to talk badly about others behind their backs, I also find it a little scary."

"Oh, right, Ornn trainer, could you please join this group as well? It's our trainers' private group!"

As she spoke, Komiya handed over another QR code. Seeing Orn's subtle look, she coughed and said, "You know, some things are not suitable to discuss in a large group, so trainers also create these small groups themselves!"

"After all, Xiao Kui mentioned you in the group yesterday, and after some discussion, everyone decided to bring you in. You'd better thank Xiao Kui properly later!"

Ornn nodded in understanding, then opened his phone and joined the group chat.

Unlike the previous serious group chat names, this group's name is rather absurd, perfectly reflecting the current state of mind of trainers.

"【Central Trep Cannibal Den】.......This chat group name is quite unique. By the way, what does 'Trep' mean?"

Komiya raised an eyebrow, looked at Orn who had a serious expression, and tentatively asked, "You, you really don't know what Raip means?"

Orn shook his head and shrugged. "I don't know, is this some kind of self-deprecating nickname?"

Komiyama hesitated for a moment, then decided it was best not to expose Treson's dark side to this newcomer who had only been a full-time employee for three months.

So she touched her head and laughed, "Ah... hahaha, yes, that's just a self-deprecating nickname!"

"Apart from the group owner and three administrators from the main group, almost all the trainers, whether currently employed or former, are in this group. Some employees from the central organization are also in the group, such as the head chefs from the cafeteria. If you need anything, you can even ask them to make you some late-night snacks."

"Sometimes we'll post the dates of colleague gatherings or gossip, and it'll all be posted in this group. If you have any training questions, you can also ask them in the group, and the seniors will answer them if they have time."

"Look, because of the new members, the group is starting to get active again."

Just as Komiyayama said, a group member with a lollipop avatar seemed to notice Ornn's arrival. He immediately jumped out and shouted, "@All members, everyone look at me! I have an announcement to make!!"

"New sacrifices have been added to the Central Teresen Cave!!"

Chapter 116 Group Members

"A new sacrifice? Don't be ridiculous, I think you've already become a sacrifice!"

At this moment, it was a trainer nicknamed Nanban who spoke up, saying, "I heard recently that your lollipop was confiscated by your supervisor, right? It's pathetic that you have to be controlled by your supervisor even when you're eating candy!"

"Oh dear, since I can't smoke, I've turned to e-cigarettes. And since I can't smoke e-cigarettes, I've been using lollipops as cigarettes. Now I can't even get any candy! Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful!"

Another trainer, nicknamed "Belt," laughed and said, "Okino! Are you being managed by your carrot-looking guy again?"

"I think you should just give up struggling! Just obediently become a sacrifice!"

Okino was clearly taken aback by the true damage from Nanban and the belt. After remaining silent for several seconds, he finally replied, "You! How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"Hmph... I call this caring about Ma Niang's health! Caring! Do you even know what caring means?!"

"I'm handing the lollipop over to the person in charge for safekeeping! Safekeeping! Understand?! I'm not confiscating it!"

Nanban: "^.^"

Lollipop: "Huh? You want to fight, Nanban?! Don't think I'm scared of you just because you invited my team to Hawaii last time! You think you're so great just because you have a few bucks! Dare to have a go at me!?"

Nanban: "0.o?"

Nanban: "Okino, first of all, I must remind you that I am a black belt holder in karate, so I am not afraid of your provocation."

"Secondly, you're wrong. The number of times I invited your team members out—to be precise, the last, the one before that, and the one before that—you were all tagging along with my team on those trips."

Nanban: "Finally, your team's golden ship also caused enormous damage to my team's activity room, resulting in three laptops getting flooded, a bronze statue being damaged, three windows being smashed, and two silver-inlaid water glasses being crushed..."

Seemingly realizing that more and more dirt on him was being dug up, Chongye's arrogant tone immediately softened.

He said, "Sigh! We've fought together for so many years, it's too formal to bring this up!"

"This time, I admit I spoke rudely and hurt your feelings, brother. I apologize in advance. By the way, why is the newcomer so silent? Come, come, say something!"

Nanban: "Wasn't that a really abrupt topic change?"

Aoi: "I think the seniors scared the new juniors, didn't they?"

Lollipop: "How could that be!? We're a loving family! This is just the seniors joking around! Don't be shy, come out and show your face! By the way, is the newcomer a boy or a girl?"

Tojo Hana: "Okino! You've got nothing better to do, haven't you?! Get your ass over to the student council office! We need to discuss your team's activity funds for this month!"

Lollipop: "Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service area. Please try again later. Beep...beep..."

Tojo Hana: "kisama..."

Nanban: "Sister Hua, please rest assured. As Mr. Chongye's good friend, I will keep an eye on his behavior and will absolutely not let him go around having affairs!"

Tojo Hana: "…………I don't care, let him go wherever he wants."

Tojo Hana: "I still need to help Rudolf with some documents, I'm off."

Looking at the noisy group chat on his phone, Orn asked, "Trainer Komiyama, are they always this energetic?"

"More or less, I think."

Komiyama Komi gave a wry smile. Pointing to the lollipop avatar, she said, "That's Trainer Okino. I think you've seen him in the last couple of days."

"Although I often find him annoying, the atmosphere among us trainers is actually quite good when he's around. He's a bit frivolous, but he still has his own principles."

She then pointed to the trainer nicknamed "Belt" and said, "This is trainer Matsushita. She recently married her ex-husband and now has seven horse girls under her command. It's quite a tough job."

"Perhaps teasing Chongye in the group every day is one of his few sources of enjoyment."

"This trainer nicknamed 'Aoi' is Kiryuin-san. She was the one who mentioned Ornn to you in the group chat yesterday. You should treat her to a meal sometime to repay her properly."

Orn nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked, "Komiyama, this trainer named Minamiban, who is...?"

"Ah, he's a rich kid, I think. I remember his family has been actively preparing to join the school board recently,"

Komiyayama said with a smile, "Although he is very rich, he is kind and never bullies others. His subordinates, Ikuno Didos and Excellent Quality, have achieved great success. Moreover, he often takes care of the horse girls in the academy who are not well-off, and many trainers have also received his help."

"If you have any questions in this regard, you can always ask him for help!"

Orn glanced at the number of members in the group and asked in surprise, "This group... has so few members. There aren't even 30 people in total. The work group we just had had more than 60 people. How come there are so many fewer?"

Komiyayama said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it! Many people in that work group aren't trainers; a large portion of them are mouthpieces for various families stationed in the central government. Plus, current student council members are also in that group, so there are a lot of people."

"However, the actual number of trainers is far less than 30. If I remember correctly, there should only be 22 active central trainers this year, right?"

"In fact, the central government recruited 35 formal trainees and 105 probationary trainees last year, bringing the total number of trainees at the central government to close to 170."

"But a year later, 45 trainers got married, 7 trainers went missing, 21 trainers voluntarily applied to take up local positions, 12 trainers had their licenses revoked for various reasons, 30 trainers resigned, and finally 25 trainers went abroad for further studies."

奥恩眉头一挑，等一下，45+7+21+12+30+25，这最后的答案不就刚好是105+35=140吗？

So, all the people recruited last year are gone this year?! And while he can understand being fired or resigning, what about the seven who went missing? Trainers can just disappear?!
