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

Orn, who was squatting on the ground, naturally noticed her hesitation. He chuckled and said, "Little Chestnut, after it's done, all the snacks confiscated from New Radiance are yours to eat."

Shining Brightly stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. She looked at Orn, who was grinning maliciously, and exclaimed incredulously, "My benefactor!! You!! You actually used my snacks to bribe my comrades!! You! You! Waaah!!"

Oguri was also taken aback by what he said. In that instant, the pain and anxiety in his heart transformed from his parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands into a mixture of water, amylase, protein, phosphate, and other substances.

She wiped her mouth, her face grave, and reached out, saying, "I'm sorry, Radiance, slurp, there's nothing I can do about it. You should take your own life." (No mercy)

Having said that, its two demonic claws reached towards the sides of the newly radiant body and began to scratch incessantly.

"Ew! Mmm... Huff huff, drink up!! Hahahaha!!!"

The expression on New Radiance's face turned very strange; her resentment and anger towards her benefactor were transformed into a smile by her body's natural reaction. Taking advantage of this, Orn pried her hands off the grass, and with a final, forceful pull, New Radiance completely lost the ability to resist.

Dragged along by the march, the new brilliance left a trail on the ground like a slug before finally settling down on the gymnastics mat to do sit-ups.

Orn stood up, looked at Little Chestnut beside him, and asked, "Hey, Little Chestnut, remember to tell me if you want any snacks later, okay?"

"I'm not forbidding you from eating, but if you eat it secretly without my knowledge, then there might be errors in your training and arrangements. In top-level competitions, even this small error could lead to huge mistakes."

Little Chestnut Hat lowered her head obediently and whispered, "I understand... I'm a burden to you."

Orn sighed and rubbed the girl's head.

He looked up at the sun, which was almost overhead, and asked, "By the way, Oguri, how did you feel during the final sprint in the Japanese derby a week ago?"

"Or to be more specific, do you feel anything strange about your body or your competition suit?"

Oguri Hat lifted her ears, thought for a moment, and touched her chest, saying, "During the final sprint, I felt a heat in my chest, and everyone around me became very loud. I... I really wanted to attack the other runners."

"I don't know why, but I really wanted to crash into other horse girls at the time. It felt like I wasn't myself at all, and when I went through the last bend, I thought... I thought I was hallucinating?"

Orn frowned and asked, "An illusion?"

The girl with the goosebumps scratched her head awkwardly. She glanced at her trainer, then quickly looked away, waving her hand shyly and saying, "Um, I don't know if this is true or not. Oh, I'm a little embarrassed to say it."

Orn smiled and said softly, "It's okay, go ahead and tell me. I won't laugh at you. This might even help with your training later."

"Okay, fine, I'll tell you then,"

Oguri Hat took a deep breath and said softly, "When I was going through the last corner, it seemed like someone told me to hand over control of my body to it, and it would help me win the race easily. Hmm... just like the first time I wore the shoes you gave me, Turenna, that's the feeling!"

"But, when I wanted to give my body to it, I remembered the days I trained in Kasamatsu with Torena, March, and Brilliant,"

“I didn’t want to give up just like that, to give up on winning with my own strength, so I rejected it and risked using that cornering method.”

The girl looked down at her chest, her hand cupping her breasts as if caressing the large golden star on her victory outfit.

"After that, until the end of the match, the final outfit seemed to stay very cool, and the stuffiness and irritability from before never returned."

"Duo Na, all of this... I now feel like it was all just my imagination. Looking back, I feel like none of these things actually happened."

Little Chestnut Hat looked up at Orn, who was deep in thought, and smiled, "But if I encounter such a strange sound again, I won't be confused anymore."

She clenched her fist and said, "I should earn my own victory, and I will prove myself with my own strength!"

Orn laughed too, bumping his fist against Oguri's, and said, "It's good that you have this idea! You're truly a responsible person!"

"Ah, it seems that Radiant is about to die! Oguri, go help her!"

"Okay~~"

Watching the little chestnut hat disappear into the distance, Ornn's smile faded.

As the fortune teller Wen Tai had predicted, the final battle outfit he had created did indeed differ from his original design.

The voice that Little Chestnut Hat heard must be the inherent characteristic of the legendary quality [Dragon Heart]. Even though they are separated by an infinite distance, even though what she created was just a shadow, and even though the materials she used were common minerals found in the secular world, it is still a legendary piece of equipment with a trace of divinity.

Horse girls are very emotional beings; they are strong-willed, have rich emotions, and can even evoke special resonance.

This is the second sentence recorded in that "Trainer's Handbook," which is usually interpreted as meaning that horse girls possess richer emotions than ordinary humans, and at their peak, they can experience a kind of telepathic resonance with their trainers.

But from Ornn's current perspective, perhaps there are other interpretations to this statement.

"It seems we need to take this into account when making the final battle suit in the future. Not only is the horse girl's physical strength limited, but if the horse girl's mind is not strong enough, she may not be able to wear a powerful final battle suit."

As he learned more about the horse girl, Orn could clearly feel that the things he made were becoming more and more in line with the horse girl herself. This was both a good thing and a bad thing.

The advantage is that the equipment he creates later will be better suited to the horse girls, helping them find their own [domain] and [skills]. However, the disadvantage is that the types of items he can create begin to be limited.

Ornn could no longer conjure up all sorts of strange and wonderful items at will, such as the Golden Apple, the Holy Shroud, the Bonewood Wand, the Rebellion Greatsword, the Poké Ball, and various replicas he created based on his memories from his past life. From the moment he stepped out of that mysterious three-story house, he could no longer create anything similar.

The more horse girl equipment he can craft, the fewer fantasy equipment he can craft.

"Does having more knowledge and more information actually add some kind of limitation to me?"

"It feels somewhat similar to the mechanics of a game where you're a hunter in a dream. Perhaps... the local artisans of this world have the answer to this question,"

Orn looked up in the direction of the student council and pondered, "The Mejiro family... I shouldn't go until that blue-haired young lady replies to me. But Rudolf symbolizes that she should know the craftsman who made the final suit, right? I'll try to get some information out of her by asking about her skills."

"As long as I hide it well and don't arouse her suspicion, and just use my curiosity as an excuse to ask her, my secret of forging will not be revealed."

"Okay! Let's do it this way. While we're at it, let's see if we can snag some knowledge about the skills we need, so we can use them on Oguri and the others later..."

While mentally calculating, Ornn waved to the other side of the playground and said, "Hey! Radiance! Remember to come relax here when you're done! There's a second round afterward!!"

"Gurgle..."

Shining brightly, she angrily gripped the gymnastics mat beneath her, then suddenly leaned forward and bit into the grass beside the mat, chewing it furiously.

As she chewed, she did push-ups while angrily muttering, "You wretched benefactor! I'll bite you to death! I'll bite you to death!!"

Chapter 119 Rebirth Against the Grain (Domain) Triple

"A method to enter the field?"

Rudolph symbolically put down her teacup, looked at Komiyama Komi sitting on the opposite sofa, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I can indeed tell you about my own experiences and conclusions; it's not a big secret."

"As the current student council president of Central Teresen College, it's only right that I help the rising stars in the college."

Tamamo Cross, standing beside Komiyama, breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and smiled, "Thank you very much, Chairman Rudolf, but..."

The girl pointed at Orn, who was gulping down tea on the other sofa, and asked loudly, "But why is he here too?!"

Rudolph gestured with a small booklet in his hand and explained, "Trainer Orn is actually here to ask for some advice. In return, he needs to come up with a lot of corny jokes to make me laugh."

As she spoke, she flipped open the "Complete Collection of Cold Jokes - New Edition" in her hand and said, "For example, this one... Why does Doraemon always grant Nobita's requests? Because he can extend his round hand... Pfft!"

"Ah, there's this one too! Why is Tamamo-no-Mae so learned and knows so many obscure characters? Because Tamamo-no-Mae is literate... haha!"

The girl with the red and blue embroidered ball in her hair felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet. Then, this chill, like a cold venomous snake, coiled around her body, swept across her spine, brushed her scalp, and finally penetrated deep into her brain!

This joke is different from the old, tired jokes Rudolf used to tell; it incorporates modern ideas, and even some of the lame jokes made by the college's madam!

This kind of lame joke, when formed in this way, has quadrupled in power! Enough to completely freeze any sane person! Trainer Gu Mei's smile has turned into a twitching, expressionless face!!

What's even more infuriating is why my name is in this Death Note?! Damn it! Could it be that guy next to me, slurping his tea, did all this?!

Where are you even drinking?! Seriously, how come he wasn't frozen by that lame joke? Well, isn't that the bastard who wrote all that stuff?!

Damn it! Damn it all!!

Tamamo's cross-shaped eyes glared at Orn, a grinding sound coming from her teeth and a series of gnashing noises from deep within her throat, as if she wanted to bite.

The old horse girl's aura is now surging! Surge! Increasing rapidly! Increasing, increasing, increasing, increasing!!

At this very moment!! Tamamo's literacy is hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than before!! She vows to use her strongest momentum and deadly moves to utterly crush that bastard who wrote "The Book of Cold Jokes"!!

Such domineering intent, such deadly moves! Who in this office could possibly resist? Who could possibly withstand it?!

"Oh......"

It's the Emperor! Rudol keenly sensed the intense pressure emanating from the stout horse girl before her. She closed the book in her hand, smiled, and asked, "It seems you've already learned to use your power?"

Tamamo Cross immediately snapped out of her daze and asked in confusion, "Using my own [momentum]?"

"Yes, it's [momentum]."

Rudolf explained, "This is the realm that all horse girls who are about to enter the realm will feel. Compared to the other two realm-related realms, the realm of [Momentum] is something that all horse girls can potentially reach."

“We are very emotional beings. Even the most rational horse girls cannot remain calm all the time once they step onto the track. As the pressure from the outside world on the track increases, the horse girls will eventually find a way to use their unique ‘momentum,’ just like you are now.”

The Emperor leaned back on the sofa and looked at Orn, saying, "Just like the little chestnut hat during the final sprint of the Japanese derby, that is your own unique 'momentum'."

"However, Oguri Hat's [momentum] is still too immature, while Tamamo Cross's [momentum] is almost complete."

Tamamo Cross glanced at Orn with some surprise. Since Rudolf could say these words with such certainty, it proved that the other party had indeed crossed this threshold.

Is Oguri really that strong? Or is it... because of him?

It's a pity that Oguri didn't come with this guy, otherwise I could have asked him what was going on.

Komiyayama was even more shocked. She knew how long Orn and Oguri Hat had trained together, and how one of her key members had reached the threshold of the field in less than half a year?! That was too unbelievable!

Rudolf glanced at Orn, who was deep in thought, and then said, "Once you master [Momentum] and can control it at will, you can step into the next realm, which I call [Boundary]."

"Just like what Master Miyazaki often talks about, the unity of man and sword, to step into the realm of [Boundary], Ma-chan needs to completely control her body,"

"The range of arm swings, changes in breathing, the amount of force allocated to each step, the direction of ankle exertion, the focus of gaze, the allocation of cognitive functions in the mind..."

The emperor reached out and tapped his left chest, saying softly, "Even my every heartbeat needs to be under my control."

"Once you have mastered all the power your body can control, you will naturally be able to enter the realm of 'Boundary,' which is what we usually call 'Domain,' or 'Zone State,'"

"It's a very mysterious feeling. All your thoughts are focused on the energy output that supports your body's running. Running posture, which usually requires a lot of effort to calculate and control, will automatically adjust to the optimal way at that time."

"It's like your entire consciousness enters another space, but your body is still moving forward with extremely high running efficiency. That's how I feel about the [Boundary]."

Rudolf smiled and looked at the thoughtful Tamamo Cross, asking, "It seems you've also felt something similar during a match?"

"Hmm... I can't really say for sure, but I have experienced what you mentioned at the end—the body running automatically with extremely high efficiency!"

Tamamo Cross looked down at her hands and continued, "I had this feeling during the Emperor's Celebration this spring."

"Indeed, just as you said, Chairman, we can vaguely feel that sensation, but... but it's like the wind blowing through our body, and it's hard for us to grasp that moment."

Rudolph nodded, looking up at the office ceiling, and said, "Yes, the time I truly mastered the domain, that is, mastered the [boundary], was after I won my second championship in the Japanese Derby, and then I comprehended it on the field during the third championship, the Chrysanthemum Prize match."

"However, if you can sense the wind, Tamamo Cross, perhaps you'll be able to completely master the domain after the next match?"

Komiyama asked, "Rudolph, can you learn to control your domain by practicing with other horse girls? If so, could you...?"

"No, Trainer Komiyama."

Rudolph shook her head and sighed, "Every horse girl's realm is a crown forged on the racetrack; mere practice... is not enough to truly allow a horse girl to reach that level."

"Either take a step further on the pressure-filled battlefield, completing your domain with a final burst of energy and struggle, or sweep away all opponents with invincibility and understand the path within your own heart."

"Most horse girls, including myself, found their niche through the first method. As for the second method, I have only seen two people succeed in Japan."

Orn asked with some curiosity, "To sweep away opponents with invincible strength? Can that really create a domain?"

Rudolf said, "Yes, one is the former student council vice president, [Red Supercar] Maruzensky, and the other is [Harvest Moment], who once won ten battles and defeated all opponents with an unparalleled advantage."

"Harvest time?!"

Komiya covered her mouth in surprise and quickly asked, "President Rudolf, are you talking about that 'Moment of Harvest' who broke several competition records in a row, won the first two Classic titles in a kingly manner, and then suddenly disappeared from the public eye?"

Rudolf nodded and said, "Yes, it's her."

"Maru Zen was unable to participate due to the restrictions at the time, but under those circumstances, she still managed to comprehend her own path with almost overwhelming strength. Apart from those two, there is indeed no other horse girl who can control the horse with such domineering presence."

"At least, none of the Japanese 'Horse Girls' I know have them."

With her hands crossed on her knees, Tamamo concluded, "So, if we want to master the second level of the domain, we need real combat experience, right?"

Rudolf affirmed, "That's right, that's how it is."

"Let's put it into practice! Let's step into this final realm at the Takarazuka Memorial this month!"

The petite horse girl clasped her fists together, turned to look at Orn, raised her chin, and said, "Although I still find you annoying, I'd much rather see Oguri reach her full potential this fall!"

"We'll use every trick in the book to crush Oguri! And then you'll pay the price for your insolence!!"

Tamamo's cross was imposing, but Ornn still didn't react much. He asked in confusion, "Insolent? Me? Where did I speak insolently? I was clearly so humble."

humble?

Veins bulged on Tamamo's forehead as she glared at the bewildered Orn and said fiercely, "Don't play dumb! You clearly look down on our height! You even came up with the ridiculous idea of ​​having us pay for the meal for free as children! You're up to no good!!"

Orn was even more puzzled. He made a shrugging gesture like a bear and asked, "But what I said is true! I heard from Xiaoli that your family isn't well-off, so I was thinking of saving some money on Dao Le this way. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Besides... you really aren't very tall, isn't that a fact?"

Tamamo Cross paused briefly, then suddenly roared, "It's precisely because it's the truth that I can't say it!" She then broke free from the sofa, stretched out her arms, and lunged at Comrade Orn, who was five or six meters away.

Comrade Ornn is a newly arrived genius trainer. If Tamamo Cross were to pounce and injure Ornn, that would be disastrous!

At this critical moment, Komiyayama reacted quickly, immediately wrapping her arms around Tamamo Cross's waist and lifting her up in her arms. She said somewhat apologetically to Rudolf and Orn, "Sorry, sorry! I'd like to thank Chairman Rudolf for his explanation first. I won't disturb you any longer, I'll be going now!"
