The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

Kitano's words prompted Ulala to ask again, and Kitano nodded and said, "If it's according to my speculation... the Holy King won't listen to my advice from the beginning. Instead, she will think I'm pitying her and get angry. The more I persuade her to go back, the more she will go against me."

"I had already decided at that time. If the Holy King got angry, I would run after her. Let's see who would collapse first, unable to speak, or I would collapse from exhaustion, unable to stand up. No matter which result, I would definitely be able to persuade the Holy King to come back."

"Ah, but wouldn't you be extremely tired if that happened, Trainer Kitano?" Ulala gasped in surprise upon hearing this. She had even forgotten that the Holy King's Halo was still eavesdropping outside the door, and couldn't help but ask, "Will you catch a cold? Ulala caught a cold before, and it was really uncomfortable."

"Just think of it as me owing her."

And finally, Kitano's words, which were not sure whether they were a joke or an emotion, ended with the sound of a hair dryer.

"Okay, Ulala, your hair is dry, go get Sheng Wang-san."

"Okay!" Full of energy, Ulala immediately ran towards the door after getting off the stool, pushed it open and shouted, "Student Shengwang! It's your turn! Come on!"

"I, I get it! Please don't rush me, please."

When Saint King Halo heard this, she had returned to the sofa as if nothing had happened, and stood up pretending to know nothing. At this moment, she seemed to have found her rhythm and restored her former elegance and pride.

——But, if her ears weren't so red, perhaps she could have hidden it from everyone.

Chapter 074: Next time, please keep working hard

At Ulala's urging, Saint King Halo, either reluctantly or playing hard to get, entered Kitano's room in an unpredictable way, taking three steps forward and one small step back. Then, under Kitano's gaze, he sat down in the place where Ulala had originally sat, looking very indifferent.

"Well, shall I start?" Kitano felt that Saint King Halo was unexpectedly honest this time. He thought that this young lady would take a long time to accept him blowing her hair.

"Hmph, it's the honor of a lifetime for you to blow dry my hair, a member of a first-rate family, Trainer Kitano."

"Remember to blow-dry my hair with your best skills. This is the hair of a first-class celebrity, so you must blow it out in a first-class style."

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."

Right, this is what it feels like. Kitano Ryuichi, who was still curious about why the Holy King Halo had become so coquettish a second ago, completely relaxed after hearing the familiar sentence structure of the Holy King Halo.

Don't get me wrong, he's not a masochist, nor is he the type of person who can keep a smile even when people say bad things about him. He's said before that if the person didn't have the Saint King Halo and he already knew the other person's true nature in the previous round, he wouldn't serve that kind of lady.

As for why he could endure it in the last round... Well, that's a long story. It can be said that he was entrusted with a task and dared not disobey. Anyway, there are many reasons, but at least Kitano finally persisted to the stage where he could reveal his true feelings under the Holy King Halo. For a period of time after that, Kitano really had to say "It's so good".

However, in this new round, Kitano wants the Holy King Halo to open its gentle heart to him again. No doubt, he will have to suffer the same pain as before... But now it seems that Kitano feels that he has found the right way to get along with the Holy King Halo, and now his progress is much faster than before.

"Well, let's get started then."

As the hair dryer slowly started to sound, warm wind blew out from the hair dryer and hit Saint King Halo's hair. Kitano picked up the comb beside him again, blowing the hair while straightening Saint King Halo's hair.

Because there was no mirror in front of them, Saint King Halo and Kitano could not see each other's expressions, which also avoided the risk of Saint King Halo exposing her slightly rosy cheeks, which was what she was most worried about at the moment.

Throughout the entire process, the Holy King Aura was unprecedentedly quiet. The only sound in the room was the sound of a hairdryer. Even Kitano Ryuichi felt strange. Why was the Holy King Aura so quiet today? Why didn't he say a word?

However, the strange silence did not last long. With a slight distraction, Kitano's comb suddenly felt a little resistance, but it could not stop the comb from sliding down.

"Ouch!" Saint King Halo then cried out in pain, subconsciously turning his head and saying to Kitano with a look of blame on his face, "My hair is broken, it hurts so much."

"I'm sorry, but it's easy to do this when combing your hair, and it's more likely to happen with long hair." Kitano also had a toothache. He certainly knew the feeling of having his hair pulled out. Although it wasn't particularly painful, it would make people feel very bad.

It was not the first time that he had helped Saint King Halo blow dry his hair before. He was very careful every time, but this situation was unavoidable. Even after Saint King Halo opened its heart to him, every time he accidentally pulled out a few strands of hair, he would still inevitably be stared at with resentment by the Saint King.

"Then don't use a comb, use your fingers to comb my hair." However, Saint King Halo did not make things too difficult for Kitano at the moment. He just turned his head away and pretended not to care.

"Is it okay?" Kitano was a little surprised that the Holy King would make such a request, and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, this is first-rate. I grant you the right. I grant you permission." Saint King Halo pretended to be indifferent. Then, as if he felt that his tone was too soft, he quickly added proudly, "Humph, after all, it's only third-rate craftsmanship, but I don't want my first-rate hair to be damaged more than my poor craftsmanship. So I grant you permission. Just feel my first-rate hair with your fingers."

"Well, I'm sorry."

Now that he had obtained permission, Kitano put down the comb in his hand and began to use his fingers to gently and carefully comb Saint King Halo's hair, just like last week - according to Saint King Halo who opened her heart last week, this was the time she enjoyed the most.

When the slightly hot wind blows away the coolness of the hair, followed by the feeling of the gentle fingers of the trainer slowly brushing through the hair, it is the enjoyment of the Holy King Halo in the previous round that can make you forget all the troubles.

Of course, with the Holy King's halo having reset everything this round, she obviously wouldn't have such a sense of relaxation and feeling... But she could still feel a joy welling up from the bottom of her heart, which made her close her eyes involuntarily, and her whole body felt more relaxed than ever before.

What’s wrong…this feeling…is really, so comfortable.

This guy's fingers...are they really that thin? And they're quite long. If he plays the piano, they'd be perfect, right? Of course, that assumes he has a talent for it.

But it doesn't matter, I can play the piano, first-class I can teach him... Wait, why am I thinking this? When did I say I wanted to play the piano with that guy?

Suddenly, a trance occurred, causing Saint King Halo to reopen her eyes immediately. But before she could get nervous, she couldn't help but immerse herself in this feeling, just like a cat that stretched and then lay down lazily again.

This guy's technique is really skillful. Has he blow-dried hair like this for many people?

Is it his mother? Or... another woman?

For some reason, when she thought of this, a faint jealousy suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, but she quickly put it behind her.

When Kitano's fingers began to slowly move towards the hair on the top of the Holy King's head, the Holy King moved slightly, but was quickly stopped by his own thoughts.

Forget it. This is the power I, a member of a famous family, just granted him. If I take it back because of such a small matter, it will damage the reputation and dignity of my famous family. I will just let him be so presumptuous for a while.

I'll also take this time to relax and take a short nap...

"Have a good blow, Sheng Wang-san."

"Ugh?"

Saint King Halo, who was about to sleep for a while, subconsciously opened his eyes after hearing Kitano's voice. He rubbed his hair a little confusedly, and even said with a bit of regret: "It's done? So fast? Are you kidding me?"

"It's been almost half an hour, Sheng Wang. I think your hair is completely dry." Kitano, who was standing by, had already put away the hair dryer and took out a small mirror from the cabinet. He handed it to Sheng Wang Guanghuan and said, "Take a look. I think it's almost done."

Saint King Halo took the small mirror stiffly and looked at his hair in the mirror. It had become shiny again. The hair was so smooth and reflective that it undoubtedly proved Kitano's words.

After a long while, Saint King Halo finally put down the mirror in his hand, slowly stood up, and said in a very calm tone: "It's average. It's at a satisfactory level."

"I have tried my best." Kitano was a little surprised to hear such an evaluation. Last week's Saint King Halo said that his craftsmanship was truly "first-class", so why did it change now?

Was this the Saint King's words to comfort him? Or had his craftsmanship deteriorated since traveling through time? Kitano pondered this question for a moment.

"Then, try harder next time."

The Saint King's next words completely dispelled Kitano's doubts. After that, Saint King Aura walked towards the door, but suddenly seemed to remember something and took a step back, turning his back to Kitano. He said a little unnaturally, "Um... I..."

Saint King Halo pursed his lips, suppressing the trembling in his heart, and said hesitantly: "What happened today...that...thank you...or something."

Before Kitano could react, Saint King Halo quickly left the room. Soon, Saint King Halo heard the voice of Saint King Halo in the living room calling for Ulala to go back to the dormitory. After a long while, Kitano finally smiled faintly and muttered to himself, "So, this should be considered a success, right?"

It seemed like he and the Holy King had finally gotten one step closer. Kitano felt that this first step, which he had finally taken, was quite difficult, though it was much faster than the previous round.

So far, this week, he has established good relationships with all the horse girls he can get along with. When he thinks of this, Kitano feels quite relaxed, as if he sees a bright future smiling at him.

Chapter 075: A good opera that was calculated

It rained heavily all day, and as if it was deliberately arranged, just when the student union was thinking that the environment of the stadium would become extremely bad after such heavy rain and whether to consider postponing the game, the heavy rain stopped that night, and the next day, it was a sunny day.

Early in the morning of that day, when Miss Junkawa Tezuna had just started her work, she found that a considerable number of reporters had already gathered at the school gate. When they saw Junkawa Tezuna appear, countless flash lights flashed one after another, almost blinding Junkawa Tezuna's eyes.

"Please turn off your flash, reporters! This is Teresin College! Photography and interviews are prohibited without the chairman's permission!"

Junchuan Tetsuna had obviously anticipated this situation. From the beginning, she had never expected to hide the matter of the Tresen Academy on-campus selection from those journalists whose noses were sharper than those of horse girls. She just didn't expect that they would be so interested in this selection.

Even though they were blocked by an iron gate, the journalists still refused to give in. Relying on the idea that the law does not punish the masses, the flash lights showed no sign of stopping, and they even stuck microphones out from the gaps in the iron gate.

"Excuse me, Ms. Sugawa Tezuna! Is it true that this tryout is a collective middle-level competition for a new trainer to be the horse girl?"

"Regarding the mobilization of such a large force for a talented trainer, what is the response of the Tresen Academy? Are there any suspicions of connections?"

"Rumor has it that this is an internal competition for horse girls, disguised as a tryout, to select a fiancé for a new trainer with a mysterious background. Is this true?"

Where did you hear all these rumors?! You guys made them up, didn't you?! Surukawa Tetsuna smiled on the surface, but inwardly he wanted to devour these journalists who did nothing but spread rumors and slander, then played dead after the truth came out to reap the attention. These people, who only served to ruin Uma Musume's performance and never offered any help in times of need, were the ones no one wanted to deal with.

But... this matter seems to have a greater impact than imagined. Is it worth so many journalists coming to Tresen College to pay attention to it?

Junchuan Tezuna didn't quite understand, but at least she knew that she couldn't let these reporters in. Otherwise, Trainer Kitano would become their primary target, and then there would be even more trouble. Although this was something that some trainers would only wish for, as they all hoped to become as famous as their own horse girls, most trainers, even those at Central Tresen Academy, contributed silently.

But Junchuan felt very clearly that huge attention and fame can bring vanity to people, but it can also make people fall heavily when they fly high enough. Fame is a double-edged sword that can bring glory but also destruction.

And Kitano Ryuichi... For some reason, when Surukawa Tezuna thought of this, he had a strong feeling in his heart that he didn't want Kitano Ryuichi to attract the attention of the outside world.

This matter needs to be discussed with the chairman after today's selection. So thought Tsuna Sukkawa. She didn't intend to let Kitano be under the intense attention of outside reporters, especially now... it seemed that the public opinion was not in his favor.

And now, no matter what the scenery is like at the gate of Tresen College, now in the training ground of Tresen College, the stands here are already full of the horse racing girls of Tresen College, and there are also many parents of the participating horse racing girls who have received internal notifications since yesterday and entered through the side door of Tresen College today.

The huge training ground of Tresen College has now become the venue for the selection competition. It is crowded and noisy. The competition has not even started yet, but the atmosphere here has obviously reached its peak. Everyone is very excited and looking forward to the upcoming competition.

"There are too many people, right? Is this the expected size for an internal competition? Even when the Tokyo Racecourse hosted the Japan Derby, they couldn't even boast this many spectators, right?"

On the other hand, Kitano Ryuichi, who was the main character of this selection competition, was shocked by the scene of the empty streets today even though he had been mentally prepared in advance. At a glance, the stands of the huge training ground were full of spectators - obviously, there could not be so many horse racing girls from Tresen Academy alone.

"After all, this time, the participating horse racing girls are all freshmen from the middle school department."

While Kitano was muttering to himself, in the stands, Shanxin, Bourbon and Miyu were sitting in their seats, quietly waiting for the start of the game. The opening ceremony of this qualifying competition was about to begin. Now, except for the Holy King Halo whose schedule was earlier and some preparations were needed, the three women could take their time.

"Most of the freshmen are participating in the competition for the first time. They don't have their own trainers, and their first competition is held at Tresen College. Of course, most of the freshmen's parents will support their children's first competition." Shanxin also explained to Kitano gently.

"Parents... I feel like a lot of people are looking at me right now."

Kitano nodded when he heard this. He didn't know if he had been recognized a long time ago. He always felt that he could see several horse racing girls in the stands pointing in his direction, and the people around them who were obviously their parents would also look in his direction, nod from time to time, and say a few words to their children.

I feel so much pressure... Kitano's heart couldn't stop shaking. He felt like a "prize" in the Roman Colosseum in the Middle Ages. Whichever warrior won the final victory would be given him to "enjoy" at will... It always felt a bit creepy.

"Speaking of which, did everyone's parents come this time? I don't think I've seen them before." Kitano couldn't help but turn his head and asked the three women behind him.

"Answer: Miura Bourbon's parents originally planned to come, but the journey was long. Miura Bourbon just happened to have his cell phone working last night, so he notified his parents far away. He will probably arrive on the last day of the finals." Miura Bourbon replied indifferently.

"Mi, Mi Yu's parents...are the same." Mi Yu said timidly when he heard this. It seemed that the upcoming competition made the child, who was participating in the competition for the first time, a little too nervous.

"Hehe, although I really want Mom and Dad to come...but the Mejiro family is very busy." Mejiro Zenshin scratched his hair and said as if he didn't care. "Besides, I'm not that conspicuous in the Mejiro family. If McQueen or Ryan participated in the competition, then Grandma would probably let everyone come together, right? It's a pity that McQueen doesn't seem to be participating in this competition, and Ryan has a trainer again. If it's just me participating, Grandma probably won't make such a fuss to watch the competition, right?"

Although Shanxin sounded very carefree when he said this, everyone could actually sense the disappointment in his tone. After hearing this, Kitano was silent for a moment, then smiled again and said to Shanxin, "It's okay, Shanxin. Sooner or later, I'll have the entire Mejiro family come to support you in your matches."

"Hehe, let's make this clear, Trainer Kitano—"

Shanxin's mood brightened slightly upon hearing this, and he replied to Kitano with a gentle smile. The harmonious interaction between the two was nothing new to Bourbon and Miyu.

After all, they had been bothering Kitano to give them massages for several days in a row. Although Bourbon and Miyu were fighting each other openly and secretly at the beginning, their relationship was not as stiff as before after a few days. Although Shanxin had a good relationship with Kitano, he had a carefree personality and was always polite to Kitano, and had never attracted too much attention from Bourbon and Miyu.

Shanxin was like a big sister to the team, getting along well with everyone but never crossing the line. Everyone seemed to have tacitly agreed that even if Shanxin didn't perform well in the tryouts, she would still be able to join the team.

The other three horse girls also hoped that Shanxin would be a member of the team. After all, they all saw Shanxin's efforts. Although Shanxin was at the bottom of the four-member group in terms of strength, she still made Bourbon, Mi Yu and even the Holy King Halo recognize her determination and efforts.

Like Kitano, they all recognize Shanxin's abilities and hope that she can prove herself.

"It's okay, Shanxin, we will all support you." As Kitano's sister, Miyu also encouraged Shanxin at this time, and Miura Bourbon also nodded silently.

"Everyone, thank you."

Seeing that Kitano, Miyu and Bourbon all supported her so much, Shanxin felt a little sad, but she controlled her emotions very well. After smiling, she turned her gaze back to the podium in the training ground.

At this moment, accompanied by the instrumental performance of the horse girls from the vocal music department of Tresen College, the opening ceremony was officially announced to have begun. At this moment, an unexpected horse girl appeared on the podium.

"Hahaha! Everyone who has come to the Teresin Academy! And all the knights who are participating in this grand duel before the emperor! Welcome! I am the commentator and host of this grand duel - Overlord Opera!"

"Although I regret not being able to participate in this grand duel, I will fulfill my duty and provide you with commentary for this unprecedented duel!"

"I was wondering why there hadn't been any good operas lately. Turns out she was assigned by Ludo to be the commentator and host."

When Kitano saw the good opera host who had a strong personal style and was wearing a shining victory suit on the podium, Kitano, who was familiar with the habits of the good opera, also had a headache.

What on earth was Rudolph thinking? Isn't she worried that the show might go haywire by letting Good Opera host it?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the podium, Qi Cao had the same question. Seeing that the host was actually Good Opera, she curiously asked the unperturbed Lu Duo beside her, "President... is it really okay to let Good Opera host and commentate...? Shouldn't we have someone better?"

"Believe me, Qi Trough, hosting a good opera will be the best outcome."

However, upon hearing this, Luduo smiled lightly, with an expression that said "I have my own arrangements", which left Qicao speechless.

But obviously, Rudolf's symbolic purpose is not that he really thinks it is a good thing for Good Opera to be the host, but now this is the safest approach, because Rudolf knows too well that under the seemingly gentle and easy-going character of Good Opera, she is actually very courageous. No matter what she dares to think of, she will dare to do it.

Especially since she seems to have some curiosity about her trainer... Then the safest way is to let her always do the busiest and most conspicuous work, so that Good Opera is always under her observation. In this way, it can be ensured that this guy will not have any chance to attack the trainer.

Thinking of this, Rudolf's mouth curled up slightly. Looking at the opera on the stage, which seemed to be glorious but was actually like a puppet in her eyes, Rudolf looked very proud.

This is the strategy of the "Emperor". "Overlord", you are still too naive.

Chapter 076: The First Match of Holy King Halo

If Rudolf ranked the characters she needed to be wary of from highest to lowest in her mind, the first one should be the symbol of Sirius, followed by Qianming's representative, Qi Cao, Bai Ren... Even Mi Yu and Miura Bourbon were more threatening to her than Good Opera, so she would never be so strict on Good Opera.

After all, although Good Opera's temperament is outstanding, so that her appearance, which seems a little inconspicuous among the generally high looks of horse girls, is shining, she still cannot compare with Rudolf in temperament and majesty, even though she is one of the few people in Tresen Academy whose record can be said to be not inferior to Rudolf.

In terms of temperament, Good Opera cannot compare to Rudolph, and in terms of figure, he is even more defeated by the three members of the Student Union. Not to mention the one with the best figure in the Student Union, Rudolph and Narita Shirahito, neither of them is better than the flat plate of Good Opera.

Of course, this is somewhat subjective from Rudolf's perspective. Although Good Opera's figure is not excellent, it is above average, just not outstanding. And because of this, her pool-like appearance has attracted so many horse racing girls. For some trainers who particularly like her style, it is still very lethal.

But the biggest reason why Good Opera has become something that Rudolph has to guard against almost all the time is that the idea of ​​Good Opera was presented too early, and Kitano was always expressed her curiosity and appreciation for her in front of Rudolph, which made Rudolph angry.
