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

But Oguri Hat didn't give her any more time to hesitate; her drool was already dripping onto her brand-new, radiant forehead!

"Damn it! It's too late! Let's just give up!!"

Chapter 155 Sir Humphrey Appleby, a Mentor and Friend

Under the pressure of Fujisaka's March, Shining Bright freed one hand to grab the energy bar, then shakily tossed it into Oguri Hat's mouth.

"Well!!"

After taking a bite of food, Oguri Hat's eyes regained their sparkle. She looked at Shining Radiance lying on the beach with some confusion and asked, "Hmm? Shining Radiance, why are you lying on the ground? Get up!"

"Don't you know why I'm lying here?!"

With great effort, Shining Radiance got up from the ground. She looked at Orn standing beside her and said, "My benefactor! Is there something wrong with your training equipment? I've never seen Little Chestnut Hat so hungry before. Is she possessed?"

Orn walked over to the tire and touched it, then squatted down next to Little Chestnut Hat and looked at the other two members of Dolan's team, asking, "When you were using this equipment, did you feel any problems with yourselves?"

"For example, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, or hallucinations?"

Holding a water cup, Teng Zheng replied while feeding Xiao Limao, "I didn't experience the hallucinations and dizziness you mentioned, but I feel like using this handle has really drained my energy."

"It's like this handle absorbed all my energy in a very short time. After using it for less than ten minutes, my whole body started to ache."

Shining Radiance patted the sand off her body and said with a surprised look, "I didn't feel anything! Apart from this thing being a great exercise, it doesn't seem to have anything special about it."

Orn waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away flies, and said, "Glorious's opinion can be disregarded in this matter. Next, Oguri, what are your thoughts?"

"Huh!? My benefactor!! How could you so bluntly reveal the truth!!"

The newly emerged radiance, filled with grief and rage, threw itself onto Ornn's back, simultaneously making a choking motion.

"You bastard!! Talk to pretty girls with some manners!! You're such a joke!!"

Oguri Hat looked up, somewhat confused. She opened her arms, then clenched them into fists, as if sensing the strength in her arms.

Finally, she said, "As the marching song said, when I put my hand on that thing, I did get hungry very quickly on my own."

"Then...then I seemed to see a cup of black chocolate smoothie in front of me, a glass of iced water to my right, and a carrot burger that looked a little burnt."

"So I thought I'd eat the hamburger first, then drink the water, but... but the hamburger suddenly grew arms and legs and tried to fight back! So I..."

"Wait, wait, stop!"

Shining Radiance gestured for a pause, then hesitated and said, "Little Chestnut, I can understand what you mean by chocolate smoothie, but what about plain water and a hamburger? Are you implying that it's a reference to 'March' and me?"

Oguri first shook his head, then nodded.

Shining Radiance sighed, turned to Orn, and asked, "Benefactor, what's the working principle behind this stuff? Why does it have a hallucinogenic effect?! Are there poisonous mushrooms mixed in?!"

"And why can these tires engage all our muscles and quickly deplete our energy?! My benefactor! Are you sure you didn't get some alien technology from Area 51?!"

Ornn coughed lightly, then fell into a brief silence.

How could he explain this? Did it mean the tire had used its own divine power? Or that he was actually from another universe?

In a daze, Aoun recalled the teachings of a close friend from his previous life who had served as a cabinet minister in England.

If you have nothing to say, then say you have nothing to say. It's best to have something to say, and say it. Don't worry about what they ask; just express your own opinion.

If they bring up the issue again, just say that's not the problem, and then offer your opinion.

Only then did he truly appreciate his friend's advice, and he prepared to put this perfect response into practice.

Orn unconsciously touched the hammer on his lower back, trying to make up a story as much as possible: "This... um... this tire actually uses the most advanced technology on the market right now. It can transmit the weight of these four tires through the handles and magnetic fields,"

"When the user grips the handle, the psionic field and photovoltaic core will activate, and the magnetic field will automatically adjust according to the user's body shape to completely cover the user, achieving a full-body workout effect,"

"To achieve this effect, I fused the quasar quartz and blazar quartz I brought from this trip to create three pieces of magnetar quartz of the same rank. Then I stacked these three pieces of magnetar quartz on top of each other and summoned..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I said stop!"

A newfound radiance reached out again to interrupt Ornn, rubbing her slightly dizzy head as she said, "Benefactor, you... can you speak in a language I can understand?"

"Of course↗↘, my lady, "

Orn replied in fluent Japanese with a Chinese accent mixed with English, "Simply put, I couldn't beat the seniors when it came to grabbing training equipment, so I ended up taking these four tires instead."

"Then a sudden inspiration flashed into my mind, and I thought that this would work, so I assembled the tire."

Upon hearing Ornn's explanation, Shining Radiance's expression was quite interesting; it was a mixture of three parts doubt, three parts absurdity, three parts confusion, and one part bewilderment.

Orn comforted her, "Alright, alright, I admit I didn't think things through this time, but the training device should still be safe."

"March, Oguri, you and Radiant will continue training later. If Oguri hallucinates again, throw this box of emergency energy bars into Oguri's mouth."

Teng Zheng took the handbag that Orn tossed to her and asked, "Orn, but what if we were both too exhausted to open the bag?"

"Don't worry, I was prepared."

Ornn placed another satchel around the neck of the newly radiant Radiance, then made a move to pounce on the deer-haired horse girl. The satchel seemed to sense something and accurately shot an energy bar into Ornn's mouth.

"See? With this, you don't need to worry anymore."

Orn swallowed the energy bar in his mouth, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright, if you've rested enough, let's continue training. If you experience any unusual reactions, such as inexplicable pain or hallucinations, remember to tell me immediately!"

"Aldan, put on those armor boots over there and run laps around the coconut tree and the tire. Do thirty laps and see how it goes."

"Based on my estimate, a week should be enough for your training volume to return to normal. If you're ready, let's all get moving!"

Chapter 156 Now, it's time for fantasy.

"call--"

Teng Zheng easily opened the yellow handle in her hand. After using it for an afternoon, she had basically mastered the intricacies of using this tire tower.

Based on her current physical condition, if a set of training exercises is defined as holding the object continuously for 15 seconds, she would need to consume about one energy bar for every four sets.

According to Orn, this energy bar was provided by the Mejiro family. It can provide a large amount of energy in a short time and also gives a strong feeling of fullness.

Moreover, this is a special edition for Tsushima Musume. Even the Tengzheng March can't eat a second one for a short period of time after eating one.

After completing eight sets of training, Teng Zheng must rest for fifteen minutes in place. Ao En will then use a hammer to give her a full-body massage, similar to pounding pork with a meat tenderizer, to relieve her overly tense muscles.

Even with Orn's help, Teng Zheng March felt her body had reached its limit. After using the device repeatedly for two hours, she collapsed onto the beach, panting heavily.

Orn, who was supervising from the side, naturally sensed that Tengzheng March had reached its limit. He nodded and handed a towel and water to the other person.

Teng Zheng took the water glass and looked at Oguri, who was still gripping the tire, and asked, "Oun, has Oguri... found her balance?"

Orn naturally knew what the balance point Teng Zheng was referring to was. He shook his head and replied, "No, Xiao Li's hunger rate varies each time, so naturally it's impossible to formulate an accurate training plan."

“I’ll have her do two sets now, then rest for a bit, eat an energy bar, then do three more sets, rest again, then do two more sets, and so on,”

"Normally there won't be any problems, but sometimes she suddenly loses consciousness... Ah! Here she comes!"

Before Orn could finish speaking, Little Chestnut Hat swayed away to the side once more.

She first looked at Ornn and the Tengzheng March with a confused expression, then at the tires behind her, and finally at the brand-new Radiance playing with the blue handle.

"Again?"

Deer-haired Horse Girl sighed, then released her grip, opened her arms, and said, "Come on, let's finish quickly so I can continue training."

Seeing the food offered to her, Little Chestnut Hat immediately pounced on it.

Sensing the approaching danger, the fanny pack hanging around Shining's neck reacted instantly, precisely dropping an energy bar into Little Chestnut's mouth.

"Ugh... Uh!!"

It seemed the energy bar was working, as Oguri Hat gradually regained her senses. She shook her head and then continued training as if nothing had happened.

Teng Zheng and Orn sat on the beach, watching the scene before them, and couldn't help but exchange a wry smile.

"Ah, it's already dinnertime,"

Orn glanced at the summer training camp's work group chat; the hotel manager had already started calling the trainers to prepare for dinner.

He stood up, clapped his hands, and said to the members of Dolan's team, "Alright everyone, today's training is temporarily over. It's time for dinner!"

Upon hearing the order to end training, Oguri Hat breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back against the tire tower. Megumi Ardan, standing nearby, also took off his knight's armor.

Shining with newfound radiance, she lay directly on her back on the beach, letting the sand and dust soak her already sweaty body.

She said weakly, "Is it over? I feel as tired today as if I've been training for a whole week straight."

Orn laughed and said, "Don't worry, you can experience this feeling for six more days in a row. Enjoy it to the fullest!"

Her once radiant face contorted into a grimace, and she cried out in anguish, "Is this what I was worried about?!"

She lay on the beach, glaring resentfully at Orn's hateful smile, muttering, "Damn it... Ah, benefactor, I don't think I can get up for the time being. Why don't you carry me to the cafeteria?"

"Pfft, this is the result of a beautiful girl's influence on a heartless and ruthless demon. Please accept it with gratitude!"

The newfound brilliance's original intention was just to make a casual remark; based on her past experience, Ornn would definitely make an exaggerated facial expression and then say something sarcastic.

She had even anticipated what the other person would say; it would definitely be something like a toad trying to eat swan meat, a tiny bit of brilliance, laughable, laughable—a proverb that would make them laugh out loud...

"sure."

"Haha, I knew you'd refuse, my benefactor, and then you'd create a famous proverb... huh?"

The newly radiant woman stared blankly at Ornn, her ears twitching twice before she asked in surprise, "Wait? My benefactor, you...you agreed!?"

Ornn crouched down, poked the newly gleaming forehead, and said, "Hehe, considering how hard you worked today to change the handle from green to cyan, I'll mercifully grant your wish!"

"Guanghui, you did a great job today. Thank you for your hard work."

"Waaaaah!!! My savior!!!"

Shining with newfound radiance, she choked up a little. She wanted to rub her eyes, but found that her hands were already covered in sweat and grit.

So she could only rub her eyes with her elbow to express her joy and excitement. The girl said with tears in her eyes, "I have been a disciple of my benefactor for sixty days! This is the first time I have been praised like this! The first time ever!"

Ornn was startled by the strange cry of the newly radiant light. He scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Is...is it that serious?"

"Of course! Of course it's that important!"

Shining with newfound radiance, her eyes reddened. She sniffed, then stretched out her hands, looking deeply moved.

Of course... she was faking it.

'Heh heh, my benefactor is praising me with such sincere words; he must be planning to entrust me with an important task later!'

'Heh heh heh, I never thought my usually brilliant benefactor would be fooled by my disguise! Hmph... First, gain my benefactor's absolute trust, then become the backbone of Dolan's team! Finally, seize the position of Chairman of Central Treson!'

'For all eternity, let us journey together in this world! Only today!!'

'Hmph... Radiance! Brand new Radiance!! Don't laugh, you can't laugh yet!!!'

'I wonder how my benefactor will pick me up? Will it be a princess carry? Or a baby carry from behind? Or maybe a typical male shoulder carry? I'm really looking forward to it!'

Ornn, oblivious to the sinister glint in New Radiance's eyes hidden beneath his arms, handed the small backpack he had just packed to Tengzheng March, then extended both hands towards New Radiance.

"coming!"

The new radiance closed her eyes, but to her surprise, Orn's hands did not touch her waist or armpits, but instead reached straight for her hands and feet!

"?"

Before she could react, Orn swiftly bound the newly radiant Radiance's hands and feet to a bamboo pole.

The little deer hair now looks a bit like a roast suckling pig tied to a bamboo pole!

"what?"

The newly radiant light was stunned, but Ornn smiled.

He instructed, "Kuri, march, carry the new glory back, in the way she likes."

"Wait a minute!! This isn't right!! This isn't how I like it!!"

The newfound radiance struggled desperately, but Orn bound her extremely tightly. No matter how much she writhed like a pupa, she remained tied to the bamboo pole.

Left with no other choice, she could only turn to her teammates for help: "Oguri! March! You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

"Going back to the hotel like this! I! I'd rather go and duel Sukuna right now!!"

A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Teng Zheng's face. She said nothing, but quickly raised the end of the bamboo pole. It seemed she wasn't going to save Xin Xin Guang Hui.

Oguri Hat hesitated for a moment, as fond memories of the past flooded her mind. Looking into the sincere eyes of the newly radiant light, her stance slowly began to shift towards kindness.

Orn keenly sensed this, so he coughed lightly, and the demon whispered, "Little Chestnut, after it's done, I won't limit your food intake in the cafeteria tonight."

"As ordered."
