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

With poor internet and no computers, everyone could only sit in the car staring blankly, or sleep.

For the lively and active horse girls, this was really too much of a torment.

The teacher raised his hands and pressed them down, then said with a smile, "Alright, I know this method is tiring and painful, so we'll see if your trainers will make you experience the same pain again!"

"Next, I'd like to mention some things to keep in mind during the training camp. First of all, you don't need to worry about borrowing or using the training equipment; that's something the trainers will discuss."

"Speaking of training, there will naturally be intellectual training. If your trainers choose this training, a cultural instructor will come to teach them!"

"Ah~~~~~"

The students' expressions turned dejected, and the teacher continued, "Hehe, don't look so down. As for training, you just need to do your best. What I'm about to say is crucial!"

"Although the staff at the nearby beach hotels are always taking care of things, nature changes very quickly. If you see any shellfish or fish that you don't recognize while playing on the beach, please don't have any physical contact with them. Remember to ask an adult nearby for help immediately, okay?"

"That's very dangerous! Just two years ago, a student went to catch a jellyfish and ended up spending three days in the hospital trying to save him. This is no joke!"

"In addition, there are many naturally formed undercurrents in the nearshore waters, so everyone must be careful! If you feel the force of the waves suddenly increase, grab onto a nearby buoy as soon as possible, otherwise you will be swept away by the waves!"

The teacher glanced at the students in front of her, pulled out a long sheet of printed paper, and said, "Ahem, alright, next is the opening speech. Although no one wants to hear it, I have to read it anyway."

"Under the scorching summer sun, our students toil away, a testament to their youth and a symbol of our times..."

With her hands, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to herself, "Damn it, I knew there would be this kind of formalistic speech in the end. The paper mill is already being labeled."

Beside her, Meguro Ardan chuckled, "Based on past experience, the teacher won't talk for long. It should be over in another ten minutes or so."

"Ten minutes? That's way too long!"

Shining Radiance looked down at his toes. Due to the weather, all four members of Dolan's team had switched to sandals. They would change into the special equipment prepared by Ornn during training.

"But speaking of which, ever since we met our benefactor, has he always been wearing long sleeves and trousers?"

"He only changed into a short-sleeved shirt now that it's getting warmer, but his pants and shoes seem to be the same as before. He's dressed all in black, and there's no change..."

Fujimasa thought for a moment and said, "No, actually Orn has worn other clothes before. When we were still in Kasamatsu, didn't he once wear floral shorts and a floral shirt?"

"That outfit looked very shady, like one of those street thugs who'd been hanging out in bars for days on end. I'd rather he was dressed all in black right now."

Oguri, looking embarrassed, defended his scholar-official, saying, "The march... actually, it's not that exaggerated. I think it's quite nice!"

She recalled Orn wearing sunglasses and Hawaiian-style clothing at the time, and then said hesitantly, "Maybe... well, maybe it's better to let Na's current style of dress drag him down."

Listening to the three's conversation, Megumi Ardan asked curiously, "By the way, do you know what Mr. Orn did before becoming a trainer?"

"Those two men who came to talk to him just now... they don't seem to be trainers, right?"

What Aldan really wanted to ask was whether Orn had a history in the underworld, but based on her daily interactions with him, Orn didn't seem like the type to live a life of constant danger.

But... just now, when those two were fanning themselves with their round fans, she clearly saw a dark tattoo on one of their wrists.

With a kick of sand, the newly radiant figure replied, "Hmm... my benefactor used to be a blacksmith? Or maybe he also dealt in antiques and smuggled contraband?"

"When Xiaoli and I visited his place before, he had so many things hanging on his walls! From short swords to muskets, he had everything! But if I had to say, he probably works as a blacksmith, right?"

"Anyway, he won't say anything when we ask him about it, and he just changes the subject with that look of looking at a child! It's so annoying! I'm not a kid anymore! I'll be an adult in two years!"

Seemingly growing angrier as she spoke, she kicked the mound of earth in front of her hard to vent her anger.

A cloud of dust kicked up and hit a female horseman in front of her on the thigh. The sudden shock made her jump up and then kick the mound of dirt behind her.

Along with the splashing mud, flying towards the new light, also flew a crab, an arthropod belonging to the class Malacostraca, order Decapoda, and family Portunidae, which was lying on the sand.

It fell beside the brand-new, shiny sandals, seemingly disoriented from the impact; the crab's two eyes darted around.

Then it noticed the giant creature kicking sand in front of it, so it raised its pincers and clamped down hard as the creature slammed down a second time.

"Eee ...

Chapter 152 POWER Training

"So you just got pinched by a crab like that?"

Orn grasped her newly gleaming right foot, examining her trapped big toe.

He was suppressing a smile; after all, they had only been on the beach for less than an hour, and a female horse had already been taken to the infirmary—this was a new record for Central Tresson.

The newly radiant creature said somewhat aggrievedly, "Yes, my benefactor! I didn't kick it! Why did it pinch me?"

"I think maybe it acted because it saw you moving around?"

Ornn wiggled his brand-new, gleaming thumb up and down, then said, "Looks like nothing's wrong. The crab must have just gotten stuck between my sandal and my thumb by chance."

"Although the finger is a little red, there is no internal bleeding, nor any signs of fracture or external injury. By the way, where is the crab?"

After scanning the four people in the lounge, his gaze settled on Oguri Hat's stomach.

"Oguri, although I think this is a bit against common sense, I still want to ask...you, you didn't eat that thing raw, did you?"

Little Chestnut Hat innocently wiped her mouth with her hand, then shook her head and said, "No, although I want to eat, I haven't eaten yet."

"What about the crabs? Where did the crabs go?"

Fujimasa replied, "The chef in the hotel kitchen took it. Kōki said he wanted to eat it."

Sitting on the hospital bed, New Radiance clenched her fists and waved them, shouting, "That wretched crab! How dare it humiliate me, New Radiance! I will make it pay!"

Orn sighed, stood up, and said to the four people in the room, "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. Let's start training from today!"

"Guanghui, don't look at me like that. You're really fine. Get out of bed now, or you won't have any equipment left."

"I heard the equipment here is pretty good. You won't have to wear the shoes I made for training later. Go try out the training equipment here first."

"I fought tooth and nail to get this equipment, so don't you guys slack off!"

"Let's start with... strength training!"

Did you manage to snatch it at the cost of your life?

The brand-new, radiant trainer looked at his trainer with some suspicion. It was just that piece of equipment, why would he need to risk his life?

The rest of Dolan's team followed Ornn through the hotel corridor towards their training area on the nearby beach.

Just as Orn had said, after the instructor announced the dismissal, all the trainers ran towards the training equipment they needed, their speed leaving Orn in awe.

If several people want the same training equipment, the competition will become quite fierce, usually turning into a competition of speed and strength between the trainees.

When it comes to competing on speed and explosiveness, younger trainers undoubtedly have an advantage over middle-aged trainers.

"Ha! You old fool! You always bullied me because of your seniority! Now you're helpless, aren't you?!"

A young trainer from the same cohort as Ornn strode past his senior, then turned back with a mocking smile.

In his mind, he now had an unparalleled advantage. Just three more steps and he could grab those four unopened pairs of new load-bearing boots. That old bastard, give me your head... What?!

Suddenly, the senior behind him unbuckled his belt, then used it as a rein, swung it twice in the air, and threw it straight out, which miraculously landed precisely on the four pairs of weighted running shoes in front of him!

"Heh, what a pity, junior! I knew this would happen! That's why I've been practicing my throwing technique so hard. Now... the situation has reversed!"

With the belt no longer binding him, the senior's trousers began to slip down, revealing an undergarment embroidered with yellow sponges and pink five-pointed stars.

He quickly pulled up his pants, hopped over to his junior, whose face was flushed red, and, under the junior's resentful gaze, like that of a wronged young wife, triumphantly took his spoils.

Similar struggles unfolded at other training facilities, with wigs, dentures, ties, and other such items flying through the air from time to time, and various arguments constantly resounding in the lobby.

The scene became extremely chaotic, resembling a bustling market. People were arguing endlessly over trivial matters, while strange objects occasionally darted through the air.

The hotel staff seemed used to this kind of squabbling. They simply retreated behind the bar with calm expressions, holding chilled water, watching these trainers, who were usually so dashing on television, argue until their faces turned red over a shoe, and pull each other's hair over a weighted horseshoe.

‘…..’

Seeing this insane scene before him, Ornn wisely chose to leave.

He followed the chaotic crowd and found something that most people wouldn't choose immediately.

Those were four very large tires.

The trainers' primary concern was training efficiency. This kind of purely strength-based training was too simplistic for them, so naturally no one competed with Ornn, and he easily got his hands on the four tires.

Also for the sake of training efficiency, Ornn made some minor modifications to the four tires. What was finally presented to the Dolan team was a tower of four tires stacked together, nearly five times the height of the new Radiance.

Shining Bright swallowed hard. She glanced at Ornn behind her, then looked back at the tires, before turning to look at her trainer.

"My benefactor...you're not joking??"

After seeing Ornn shake his head, many thoughts flashed through the mind of the newly radiant being.

Perhaps this thing only looks heavy, and it's just an illusion. Maybe it's just a few empty shells.

She rushed forward and punched the tire twice, but was burned by its hardness and heat, and had to shake her hands repeatedly.

This thing... is it for real?!

She pointed at the massive black tower, then turned and asked, "Benefactor, this thing... is it our training equipment???"

"Clever! Brilliant! Congratulations on your correct answer!"

Upon hearing Ornn's approving voice, the newly formed radiance finally crumbled.

She yelled, "I don't want to be praised by you right now!! This thing can kill people!!"

"We're just horse girls! Not aliens! Not the Hulk! No matter how hard we pull, this thing can't move!"

Orn nodded and said, "I know, so this training is actually tailor-made for you."

"Don't look at me like that. Of course I know that while the horse girl's physical abilities are slightly better than humans, she's still within the human range."

"Although when I was in the central government, I saw a female horse with reeds being bumped around by various things more than once, or she would bump into other things and always manage to push them away, I also knew that the female horse definitely couldn't move this thing."

"Come on, Koguri, let me teach you how to use this tire. Remember my movements."

Little Chestnut Hat nodded and followed Orn to the back of the tire. There, on the bottom ring of the tire, were several long rods of different colors but equal length, as if they were embedded in the tire.

Ornn grabbed a long, black-painted pole with both hands, then assumed a horse stance and stood there motionless.

The newly radiant girl stared blankly at her trainer's movements. To her, what Orn was doing was less of a strength training session and more of a yoga session.

"My benefactor, you...you should actually move! Is this really going to work?"

Meanwhile, Fujimasa March noticed something amiss. From Kasamatsu to the Central Division, Orn's training was often completely illogical. There must be something fishy about this tire.

She looked at Orn's back, and after only a minute, his back was completely soaked with sweat!

"Phew—this thing is pretty tiring,"

Three minutes later, Orn released his hand and moved away from in front of the tire.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and said to Little Chestnut Hat, "Got the movements? Don't worry, you'll get used to it after one try. It might be a little scary at first, but you'll get used to it."

"Why don't you try grabbing... the purple one over there!"

Oguri Hat took a deep breath. Even though she was closest to the girl, she still didn't understand what had just happened.

'Can you really train strength just by holding onto this?'

Somewhat puzzled, she stretched out her hands and gently grasped the long pole.

"GUUUU!!!!"

The instant Oguri Hat's hands touched the long pole, a tremendous pulling force came from the pole in her hands, and under the influence of that force, she uncontrollably fell towards the tire!

She quickly imitated Orn's earlier movement, spreading her legs wide and stomping heavily on the soft sand, kicking up nearly half a meter of dust, attempting to stabilize her center of gravity in this posture.

Even though Oguri had tensed all the muscles in her legs, she could hardly resist the suffocatingly powerful pull. After holding on for ten seconds, she suddenly released her hands and fell backward onto the beach behind her.

"Kuri!! Are you alright!!!"

Shining Radiance and Megumi Ardan rushed over to check on Oguri Hat's condition, while Fujimasa March looked at Orn and asked, "This is... the device for training strength?"

Orn patted the tire tower beside him with a hint of pride: "Yeah, this is the most efficient method I can think of."

"With this, you'll be completely transformed in just one week!!"

Chapter 153 Tian Wenjing! I_____!

"A complete transformation? A complete transformation in the physical sense, right!"

Shining Radiance and Meguro Ardan pulled the small chestnut hat out of the sand from their heads, and the three of them collapsed onto the beach.

Orn took out a towel and wiped the sand off Little Chestnut's face. He asked, "Little Chestnut, how are you feeling?"

"........"

"It's awesome."

Oguri Hat raised her hands, and even though she was trying her best to relax them, the muscles in her hands were still trembling uncontrollably.

She rubbed her forearm with her fingers and felt as if she had poked a hard steel plate.
