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

Rudolph took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her brow. She continued, "This skill actually manifests spontaneously when the horse girls officially enter the domain, which is the second level. The most obvious place is on the grass where the horse girls run after activating the domain. Each horse girl will leave a unique mark."

"For example, Maru Zen, the traces she leaves after activating her domain are like tracks left by some kind of extremely fast tire. At the corners, she even leaves charred marks, like a race car using a drifting technique on a curve."

"The temperature along the trajectory of the air tank will become very high, sometimes even igniting the grass beneath her feet. Bai Ren's trajectory is even more violent; each stomp of hers directly destroys the ground beneath her feet. That terrifying monstrous strength, while granting her extremely strong explosive power, also hinders the horse girl's sprint behind her,"

"Trainer Orn, if your eyesight and memory are good, you might remember Sakura Chiyo, who made her final sprint in the Japanese derby. She had pink and white cherry blossoms on her body, right?"

Orn nodded. Of course he remembered the dazzling color that had appeared on Sakura Chiyo-oh back then. If she had activated her domain just three seconds earlier, Oguri-chan might have won.

The emperor turned his gaze to the cup of tea that had just boiled and was now cooled, and said, "These phenomena are often overlooked by the audience, who generally believe that they are natural scientific phenomena caused by the pressure of the horse running."

"But... perhaps the conclusion is not what they guessed."

Orn asked, "President, couldn't they see those things? Like the pink cherry blossoms on Chiyo's clothes. During the match, apart from the trainer next to me, it seemed that the other ordinary spectators didn't see those things."

"Their faces showed only tension and excitement, but not the surprise of seeing something extraordinary. On the contrary, the trainers next to me all showed expressions of astonishment."

"Yes, just as you said,"

Rudolf nodded and said, "The audience, or ordinary people, have no way of seeing anything in that realm, except for the [spirit] I just used, which can directly affect reality physically. They cannot observe these things with the naked eye."

"At most, it will only make them subconsciously know that this horse girl is very powerful, or they might sense some faint movement of air,"

"Actually, this issue has been debated among trainers, but the generally accepted point is that [the deeper one's understanding of the horse girl, the clearer one's observation of the scenery in that area]."

"This 'understanding' doesn't mean that I know the horse girls' birthdays, blood types, heights, and appearances. It means that I need to have a comprehensive understanding of the horse girl race, their developmental cycles, their inner world, and their dreams. Only after understanding everything about the horse girls can humans see this sight."

"No one but the trainer can meet these conditions."

At this point, Rudolph seemed to recall something, and she laughed, "Of course, some extremely obsessed journalists and fans, professional doctors, and masters who make the final suits can also glimpse the secrets behind it."

Orn couldn't help but stroke his chin again; this gesture helped him concentrate.

Rudolf's words revealed an important piece of information, information that even she herself might not have realized.

The prerequisites that ordinary people can see in a field are actually quite similar to the problems he's encountering while forging.

The more he understood the horse girl, the more he lost his ability to create; perhaps this was a hidden rule of this world.

"President, how do we ultimately achieve this goal?"

After a moment's thought, Rudolf said, "To be honest, I don't know."

"Trainer Orn, don't look at me like that, because I really don't know how I did it,"

"But I guess that to reach the realm of [Spirit], one must first fully master the basic realms of the first two related fields, and in addition, one needs a sufficient amount of honor."

"honor?"

"Yes, just like when I achieved seven crowns, if a female horse can achieve the same goal, she will have enough experience to spar with strong opponents. The rest is just a matter of time."

Rudolf spread his hands and said finally, "Just as I said, even I didn't grasp this final layer of mystery during my active service. If I had grasped it earlier, perhaps I would have had a greater chance on the Arc de Triomphe?"

A brief silence fell over the meeting room. After organizing his thoughts, Orn nodded.

He gathered his notes from the table, stood up, and said goodbye, "Thank you so much, Chairman, for sharing so much valuable knowledge with me today. I'm sure I can apply this experience to my training."

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now?"

Rudolph smiled, picked up the now-cold teacup, and raised it in a gesture of respect, saying, "Very well, I believe that with Trainer Orn's talent, he will surely make these skills shine."

"I have other things to attend to, so I won't see you off."

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, Rudolf watched Orn's departing figure, his mind calculating the gains and losses of this meeting.

Orn was far more astute and experienced than she had imagined; the methods she had learned from Morita Itsuki were almost entirely ineffective against him.

However, this conversation wasn't entirely without merit. When Orn asked his question, "Would you strive for the happiness of the students at this school?" Rudolf symbolically sensed the implied meaning behind it.

Perhaps sincerely sharing their dreams with Orn is the best way for both sides to build a more solid foundation for cooperation.

She murmured, "Phew, after summer training camp ends... I'll find an opportunity to lay my cards on the table."

"I just hope he's not won over by the Mejiro family before then... No, that shouldn't happen, since he clearly has the Mejiro family's token but still came to me this time... He's probably wary of the Mejiro family too,"

"I will proceed slowly and patiently, and once I find a suitable opportunity, I can bring light back to the gloomy world of horse racing..."

Click,

The office door was pushed open, and Rudolf turned around to see that it was the air tank that had just completed the mission to capture Shin-Kuang-Feng.

"President, we've finally caught the troublemakers! Miss Junchuan and the chairman were out in a meeting today, and Golden Ship and Shin-Kuang-Fu caused me trouble again!"

The empress sat wearily on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling and muttering, "So tired, I really want to relax!"

Rudolph was taken aback for a moment, then she smiled and sat down on the sofa opposite the air tank, saying, "Air tank, I know of an excellent way to relax, you know?"

"Oh? Why don't you tell me, Chairman?"

Rudolph was secretly delighted. She picked up the book "New Collection of Cold Jokes" and, amidst the gasp's gaze shifting from confusion to horror, exclaimed loudly, "Vodka knows nothing about babysitting, but he knows everything about Daviel... Pfft!"

Qi Cao didn't react for a moment. She was about to say something to interrupt the emperor's recitation, but because she had just undergone strenuous exercise, she no longer had the strength to speak!

She could only watch in despair as Rudolf's face contorted with rage (or glee), and he continued, "You can't unleash your ultimate move right away in a fighting game, because you have to wait for the rage meter to fill up... Hahaha!!"

Qisuo's face turned deathly pale. Her lips trembled as she asked, "President, how many lame jokes are in this notebook?"

Rudolf rubbed the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes and casually replied, "Not many, maybe around four hundred?"

What?!?!?!

Qi Cao's eyes rolled back, his head tilted to the side, his legs kicked, his ears snapped shut, and he collapsed onto the sofa, completely unconscious.

Before the Empress fell into a coma, her last thought was: she had to find the person who had boosted the Emperor's fighting power, she absolutely had to!!!

Chapter 123 Under the Yadan Sun, Orn is Invited; The Three Train with Loud Bangs

Central Tresen, 9:52 a.m., playground.

Orn casually flipped through the notebooks and discovered that he had actually gained quite a lot this time.

Besides [Cornering Recovery O], [Straight-Line Recovery O], and [Binding], the prerequisite skills for [Gluttony], [Nutritional Supplement], [Unyielding Spirit], and [Illusion Interference] are also listed in these notes.

In other words, Rudolph was incredibly generous this time, giving me the learning methods for all nine skills. This was far better than the skill fragments I had painstakingly obtained from Longquan Temple.

But Ornn also understood that acquiring a skill ≠ being able to learn it.

Horse girls typically learn 3-5 skills per year, with only a very small number learning more than 5 skills in a single year.

The horse girl in my squad... Oguri-hat is already considered exceptionally talented. In the three months of training, she has mastered a cornering skill of medium to high difficulty and a simple sand-specific skill. March has also mastered a medium-difficulty escape horse-specific skill.

As for Brand New Glow, Orn plans to have her master two skills at once during this year's summer training camp. Under his modifications and training, Brand New Glow is now among the top in dual adaptability, so she can probably learn most of the skills that Little Chestnut Hat can learn, although it might take a little longer.

Ornn put the notes into the bag he was carrying, then looked at the three members of Dolan's team who had already run several laps around the track, and waved, saying, "Hey! How's training going? Radiant didn't slack off today, did he?"

The previously listless and somewhat lifeless Shining Radiance, upon hearing the trainer's question, instantly lost all its haggard expression.

She brushed a stray hair from her forehead, exhaled two puffs of hot air from her nostrils, and said triumphantly with her hands on her hips, "My benefactor! That's your stereotype! I've completely reformed! Don't believe me? Ask Xiao Li!"

Orn ignored her completely, and he didn't ask Little Chestnut Hat either. He just gave Teng Zheng March a questioning look.

The marching chorus immediately nodded in understanding, then discreetly made an OK sign. Orn then smiled and praised, "Very good! It seems I really wronged you."

"After training today, let's go to the activity room and find something to eat!"

As he spoke, he took out a hammer from his waist, patted the bench by the playground next to him, and said, "Let's start with... marches. Looks like you secretly practiced marches during today's training?"

Teng Zheng was taken aback upon hearing this. Her face was tense, and her scarlet pupils stared at Orn as she said, "No, this is part of the planned training."

Aoun looked at the pair of ears on her head that were twitching from side to side, but didn't refute her. He just muttered in Chinese, "Hey, you're really stubborn."

He then said in Japanese, "That's fine then. You can start the massage first. Oguri and Mitsuki, please wait a moment."

Little Chestnut Hat's ears twitched, and she asked curiously, "Orn, do we have an activity room yet? Didn't you say yesterday that the application for an activity room would take some time?"

Orn used his left hand to stabilize March's knees, while carefully tapping them with a hammer in his right hand, saying, "The seniors all say that newly formed teams need to wait a while before applying for an activity room, since not all teams are qualified to survive."

“Central Treson has several thousand people. Even if the territory is large, it's impossible for all students to form teams. According to the rules, our Dolan team needs to bring in another horse girl to qualify for the activity room.”

"Only after all four members of our team have participated in the debut battle and successfully debuted in a competition can we submit our team application to the student council. This application will first be reviewed by the student council. After the student council approves it, it will need to be forwarded twice, to the URA Association and the Central Treson Finance Department. After they register and evaluate it and find no problems, they will return the application to the student council. Then the student council will sign and stamp the application and submit it to the Central Treson Logistics Department. Only after they arrange the location and room can they finally hand us the key to the activity room."

"However, Rudolf and I have a pretty good relationship, so she did me a little favor. I mentioned it yesterday, and I got the key to the activity room today."

The newly radiant figure clicked its tongue and said, "My benefactor, isn't this back door a bit too wide? You didn't bribe that emperor, did you?"

She sat in the chair, looked Orn up and down, and murmured, "But benefactor, what do you have to offer to bribe the emperor? You're not even that handsome, and you're as strong as a bear, always beating up the beautiful young horse girl..."

"Ah! The emperor wouldn't actually like this, would he?! Ouch!! Stop hitting me!! I was just kidding!!"

Ornn flicked his right wrist, and the hammer gently tapped the newly radiant forehead.

He rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "What nonsense are you spouting? President Rudolf is a very proper horse girl, okay? The reason I, your trainer, was able to obtain these skills is entirely because that president was so generous!"

"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense! If you end up trapped in concrete and sink into Tokyo Bay, I won't be able to save you!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the black cloth bag next to the chair. Shiny, gleaming hair rubbed his forehead, then reached out and opened the bag.

The girl pulled out a notebook, glanced through its contents, and then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Phew...it seems we were overthinking it. The story about our benefactor selling his body, as the march described, was just an unwarranted disaster!"

"Oh no! This is terrible!"

The newly radiant woman quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. Although her mutterings weren't loud, Orn had still heard them.

Orn abruptly stopped the massage he was giving, his hand kneading March's pale knees, the hammer in his right hand catching fire with a red flame.

He looked up at Teng Zheng March, who was sitting ramrod straight with his eyes closed, and asked, "Prayer nia~~?"

Even the march was starting to break her composure; she felt her face was about to cramp.

Although her face was slightly flushed and her ears drooped limply to the sides, she still maintained a calm tone and stubbornly retorted, "Ahem, as the person in charge, shouldn't you be concerned about the whereabouts of your trainers?"

“Since arriving in the Central Government, Orn, you’ve been traveling around constantly, and we’d like to help you,”

"It's not just me, Oguri and Mitsuru think so too, after all, we're the 'responsible ones,' aren't we?"

Shining Radiance wanted to say she didn't, but she felt the consequences of saying it now could be very serious, so for the first time, she swallowed back her complaints and stood obediently behind the equally obedient Little Chestnut Hat.

Orn stared intently at the girl in front of him, her eyes tightly closed. After a moment's thought, he began to understand what she was thinking.

He chuckled and tapped March's knee with the now-extinguished iron hammer in his hand, then continued the massage.

Teng Zheng squinted her eyes, secretly looking at the man squatting at her feet, helping her to physically strengthen her body, and asked softly, "Owen...you, you don't blame me?"

"Why should I blame you? Since you've already explained why you did it, what reason do I have to blame you?"

Ornn sighed helplessly, then said, "I just hope that from now on you'll focus on training and stop thinking about other things."

"Especially Guanghui, if you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll take back your right to operate the account, okay?"

The newly radiant woman was shocked and immediately saluted, saying, "Loyalty! I will definitely take good care of myself! Please rest assured, my benefactor!!"

After Guanghui finished speaking, a brief silence fell between the four of them.

Oguri Hat was already confused as to why Tengzheng March thought Orn had gone to sell his body, and subsequent developments made her even more baffled. From the perspective of the now-furry monster, apart from Orn's massage speed increasing, it seemed no different from before.

Teng Zheng was a little shy, and she didn't dare to fully open her eyes. Although she was being stubborn, she was actually a little guilty inside.

The newly radiant woman understood the entire process, but because she had just sworn an oath of loyalty, she remained silent.

And Ornn? He's busy strengthening his muscles and bones; he doesn't have time to talk.

In the eerie silence, a somewhat familiar, gentle voice came from behind the four people.

She said, "Oh... is this Mr. Orn's massage method? It's somewhat similar to the nursing device you gave me before."

Following the sound, the newly emerging light saw a very elegant blue-haired girl standing behind Ornn, seemingly observing his tapping movements.

The blue-haired horsewoman continued, "Mr. Orn, after our last meeting, I thought about it for a long time, and I only managed to come to see you today after mustering up my courage."

"Would you be willing to accept my application to join the team?"

Chapter 124 The Reason (Part 1)

"Ardan, have you made up your mind?"

"Sister, you've asked three times already, so of course I've already made up my mind."

"Yeah......"

Meguro Takamine twirled her white hair, which looked like it had been highlighted, with her index finger. Looking at her sister, who seemed to be hiding something, she suddenly said, "I hate that guy who compared me to Asama's mother, and I also hate his tone that made him seem to have everything under control."

Lying on the hospital bed, Meguro Aldan covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Hehe, although that's what you said, you didn't stop me from making my choice, right?"

Meguro Mineki turned his head away, neither affirming nor disagreeing with Aldan's assessment.

"My older sister often expresses her thoughts in an unpredictable tone, and as the second oldest among her sisters, I had a lot of trouble translating them,"

The blue-haired girl looked at the older woman beside the hospital bed and said with a smile, "It seems that you also acknowledge Mr. Orn's strength. I think his calling you 'Madam' was probably a slip of the tongue, after all, your appearance is indeed very deceptive, so please don't be angry!"
