The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

Rudolf quickly finished a bowl of noodle soup without having to worry about his image. Although he was a little embarrassed at the beginning, fortunately Rudolf did not choke himself to death and he finished eating while crying.

After eating this bowl of noodles, Rudolf's tears flowed freely. After wiping his face with the towel handed to him by Kitano, his emotions finally calmed down.

"Thank you for the treat... Sorry, Trainer Kitano, I lost my composure just now."

"That's normal. For someone as busy as you, the pressure must be huge. I understand."

After getting back the towel used to wipe his face, Kitano vaguely saw some sticky liquid on the towel, mixed with some chopped green onions that he had put in when making noodles. He pretended not to see it, just thinking that such a symbol of Luduo was rare in his memory.

During the time Kitano had been with Rudo Shizhi after taking over, he had seen her suffer emotional breakdowns before. After all, as Kitano had said, people under great pressure often became extremely depressed after a breakdown, and this wasn't the first time Kitano had taken care of a depressed Rudo Shizhi, even having to comfort her and help her get back on her feet.

So it happened that every time the Ludo symbol collapsed in front of her, the next time he relaxed in daily life would become a little more decadent... until he became a waste at the same level as the "Sad Luna" that Kitano was familiar with.

Kitano had witnessed how Luduo, who was originally able to take care of himself, became a completely disabled person who could not take care of himself because of his care, so it was not that difficult for him to accept it.

——Besides, it is not her turn to take care of the Rudo symbol this week. If she feels depressed, she should find a way to find a comprehensive nanny for herself. If the salary is high enough, he thinks there should be many nannies who don’t mind taking care of an oversized baby.

"If the pressure is too great, just release it. It doesn't matter whether you eat or cry. Don't worry, there's no one else here except me, and I'm extremely good at keeping secrets."

"I firmly believe this." Rudolph wiped his mouth, chuckled and nodded, staring at Kitano's back as he washed the dishes, a gleam in his eyes.

After all...if I hadn't recovered my past memories, I wouldn't even have realized that you were a person with past memories like me...You seemed to be as tolerant as if you were meeting me for the first time.

No, perhaps it is because you still remember me that you can accept me so quickly? If other people saw a crying Rudo symbol, their jaws would probably drop in surprise.

But... she didn't have to worry about these things, because in front of him, she was no different from being naked.

"I wonder when I can eat Trainer Kitano's cooking again."

"If you don't come home so late next time, Rudolph—that's fine." Kitano answered Rudolph while washing the dishes, and said softly, "It's just that my cooking skills are not very good. If you are the eldest daughter of a symbolic family who is used to eating delicacies from land and sea, then I can't guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"Hehe, here, there is no eldest lady who symbolizes the family, only Luduo symbolizes it, it's that simple."

Rudolph's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She knew that Kitano was still concerned about her identity, but she immediately brushed it off and smiled softly, "Such a beautiful day, a hungry person can eat a warm meal. What more could one ask for in life?"

Rudolph deliberately used ambiguous language, pretending not to notice his inappropriate choice of words. As expected, Kitano remained silent for a moment before slowly replying, "If that's the case... then it doesn't matter."

"Haha, I hope it doesn't cause any trouble to Trainer Kitano." Seeing that Kitano was relieved, Rudolph knew that her previous method was feasible. Then, she had an idea and a bolder idea emerged in her mind.

Rudolph was always quick to act. So, she was so excited that she felt a little shy, not knowing whether it was because she hadn't made this request in a long time. With a slightly rosy cheek, she looked at her phone and said in a surprised manner, "Ah... It seems I can't go back to the dormitory at this time."

"There's no other way. Looks like we'll have to stay overnight. What do you think, Trainer Kitano?"

"Hmm? That's okay... President, you came to the team room to work in case you couldn't get back to the dormitory due to working too late, right?"

"It's just... I'm sleeping in the team room too. Won't that bother you?" Kitano's tone was a bit embarrassed, as if he had nowhere to go.

"Well, aren't you going back to the trainer's dormitory?" Lu Duo blinked when he heard that and asked curiously.

"There's nothing I can do. The dormitory manager said recently that trainers' dormitory keys have been getting lost all the time. She said that we have to strictly follow the dormitory manager's schedule during this period. I haven't been back to the dormitory for a while." Kitano's tone was full of helplessness. He now felt it necessary to move his things in the dormitory to the team room. Recently, he has been spending much more time in the team room than in the dormitory.

However, Kitano could never have imagined that the excuse of losing the dormitory key was completely instructed by the symbol of Luduo standing in front of her, in order to prevent Kitano from having any way to return to the dormitory during this period.

Hearing Kitano say this, Lu Duo smiled in his heart and cheered for their dormitory manager who was interspersed in the trainers' dormitory.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it... I heard that many horse girls go out of their way to get keys to their trainers' dormitories, even going so far as to make several spares... Maybe it's just that this has been happening too much lately."

Rudolph also replied nonchalantly, "It's okay. I'm not the type to care about gender issues... Ah, I'll just sleep on the sofa tonight. Don't worry, I have half a day off tomorrow, so it's fine tonight."

"Well then, I'll go take a shower, Trainer Kitano."

After that, Luduo Symbol took the initiative to enter the bathroom. With a sound of rustling, Luduo Symbol also took off his clothes and wet his whole body under the water from the shower head.

But now, after doing all this, Rudolph couldn't help but clench her fists and cheer in her heart - her method of getting closer to Trainer-kun was already half successful!

This was only the second day since she moved into the team room, and now she could sleep under the same roof with the trainer - although not in the same bed yet. But judging by the progress so far, the trainer's concerns and estrangement towards her had undoubtedly been alleviated to some extent.

After all, if the trainer still cared about those things, he would never keep a guy who made him uncomfortable under the same roof - at least, he would leave on his own initiative.

The current trend is a good sign. As long as I keep maintaining it... Of course, I must not make the same mistake as today. I wasted so much time. If I had made use of it, I would definitely be able to progress faster!

As for the matter of the black raincoat... Luduo Symbol has already planned to temporarily include Sakura Shinou in the list of observers. Although Luduo Symbol himself does not think that Sakura Shinou may be an accomplice from a rational point of view, now that she is the only suspect, it is better to observe her.

She has a rather "violent" brain... Find a slightly smarter bodyguard to pretend to be a teacher and ask her indirectly, and she will definitely tell the truth. Don't worry.

Rudolph felt much more relaxed thinking this way. At this moment, she looked at her own body and thought of Kitano who should be in the room now. She couldn't help but start to imagine...

Such a good opportunity...why not just confront the trainer directly? Just go in naked, hug him, and attack him both physically and mentally. Maybe that would work?

But this idea only stayed in Rudolf's mind for a moment before she rejected it. If she did so, the current success rate would not be guaranteed enough. She had to achieve a safe victory and could not fail again.

Today... just bear with it. Before long, she will be in the arms of the trainer, and no one can replace her.

……

Elsewhere, late at night, the Emperor of the East Sea hadn't fallen asleep yet. She looked a little restless, constantly messaging Sirius from under the covers, nervously asking, "Sister Sirius, is it really okay for Trainer-san and the Guild Master to stay together? Trainer-san sent us a message asking us to rest during this time and not go to the team room. Won't there be any problems just with the two of them?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know Rudolf very well. I had my bodyguards infiltrate the group undergoing the review. I had them place the black raincoat in the closet of someone who, in theory, is absolutely impossible to find. This alone is enough to give the Emperor a headache."

Sirius was confident in his plan and replied to the Emperor of the East Sea, "This matter is unclear. I'm afraid our Emperor doesn't even have the ability to think about other issues. I know her too well. She looks very capable, but in fact she is not a smooth-talking person at all."

"Instead of worrying about that, why not go to bed early and don't let your trainer-san worry too much about your sleep."

"Oh, goodnight, Sister Sirius."

After sending the last sentence, the emperor, who was always feeling uneasy in her heart, became a little insomniac for some reason. She always felt that Sirius's confidence was a bit like... like the president, they were always very confident in their own plans.

But what if there is a loophole? The emperor thought about this and felt a little bad. She always felt that... she should find a more reliable ally who could also protect Trainer Sang.

At this moment, a confident figure emerged involuntarily in the emperor's mind, and soon the emperor felt that he had found the most suitable candidate - good opera!

Yes, if she were a good opera classmate! She would definitely protect Trainer-san! She's completely devoted to Trainer-san, even publicly confessing her love for him and helping him without asking for any compensation.

If she protects Trainer-san... then, we should be able to defend against Aldan-senpai and the president!

Chapter 224: Good Opera: I Have to Teach You How to Break Through the Encirclement

"Mi Yu! Come on, Mi Yu! Go out! Go out!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

On the training ground, a new day has begun. The test called "assessment" but actually "competition" is in full swing. This time, it is Mi Yu, who is trusted by the Kitano team, who is on the field. However, the assessment she is going to take this time is not the long distance she is good at, but the middle distance of 2200 meters.

Facing this assessment that was directly linked to Kitano's rest time, Mi Yu gave it 1000% concentration. However, perhaps because she was too nervous last night or what, Mi Yu seemed a little sleep deprived when she was on the court today.

In addition, they were facing the 2200 meters, which they were not good at, and the biggest influencing factor was that the horse racing girls had lost to Donghai Emperor and Miura Bourbon in the previous two games, so this time they came up with more targeted tactics.

They gradually realized that if they could not stop the horse girls in the Kitano team on the premise that they could not win, no one among them would be able to get any guidance. Therefore, this time, Mi Yu faced a much more blatant encirclement than the one faced by Emperor and Bourbon.

Mi Yu, who doesn't win by skill and doesn't have a particularly strong last kick, is really powerless to turn the tide when faced with this kind of encirclement that they don't want to win and just want to make it impossible for them to win.

In the end, despite a breakthrough after mustering up the courage from Mi Yu's roar, she still failed to break through the heavy encirclement.

"Cross the finish line! Mi Yu - second place!"

Aldan, standing at the finish line, looked a little helpless, but he finally announced the result. On the other side of the track, the Emperor, the Holy King, the Believer and Bourbon all fell silent at once, with regret and unwillingness on their faces.

"Damn it! If they didn't use the encirclement, Mi Yu would definitely--" The emperor seemed a little unwilling, as if he wanted to run another race himself.

But before the Emperor could finish, she was stopped by the aura of the captain, the Holy King. Without even looking up, the Holy King said word by word, "We lost, Emperor. That guy wanted to test our abilities in this way, so facing this situation is inevitable. Mi Yu's loss was not unfair."

"We can't make excuses for ourselves. We should think about what we should do when faced with a more serious situation. This is the test that guy wants to leave for us."

It's fair to say Kitano had a point in appointing Saint King Halo as team captain. Saint King's comprehension was naturally high. How could a horse girl who mastered nearly all four running styles, and excelled at all three distances except the long distance, possibly have poor comprehension? Saint King's even greater strength lay in his ability to understand Kitano's orders and missions, allowing him to stabilize the team's spirits in a timely manner.

Just like now, if the emperor said this, it would inevitably make it seem like their team can't afford to lose. Of course, this is secondary. What's more important is that in addition to creating anxiety for everyone, discouraging words have no effect at all.

Shanxin and Shengwang will also be on stage in the next two days. It is difficult for Shengwang to ensure that his mentality will not be affected. If Shanxin is affected by this, it will only increase Kitano's workload.

What happened cannot be changed, so it is better to keep calm and deal with what happens next calmly... Perhaps, this is what that guy wants to see.

The Holy King thought so. Now, because of the influence of the dream, the Holy King had a deeper understanding of many of Kitano's actions, and began to take the position of "captain" more seriously.

"Mi Yu has run away..." Shanxin was also looking at the defeated Mi Yu, who was running in one direction with her head down. Not long after, she ran head-on into the arms of Kitano, who was witnessing all this not far away.

Obviously, losing this game was a big blow to Mi Yu. If everyone in the team didn't want to add burden to Kitano because of their defeat, then Mi Yu was probably the one who had the strongest idea.

Mi Yu threw herself into Kitano's arms and burst into tears. Her small body trembled uncontrollably. She cried and said incoherently, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother. Mi, Mi Yu is a useless child..."

"I clearly didn't want to cause trouble for my brother, I clearly wanted to win so badly, and I clearly had everything ready..."

"sorry Sorry……"

"It's okay, Mi Yu, you've done well enough." Kitano also had a headache, but he still maintained a gentle attitude and rubbed Mi Yu's head. Such a result was beyond Kitano's expectations. After all, whether it was the venue, distance, or other situations, Mi Yu was completely at a disadvantage. It was already very good to be able to achieve such a result.

But in order to stimulate their potential, Kitano directly linked the results of the assessment with his own rest time. A good kid like Mi Yu would definitely take all the mistakes of this game on himself.

Kitano had anticipated this situation, so he calmed Mi Yu down and walked aside, intending to spend some time with his sister and let her calm down.

Meanwhile, just as everyone was watching Kitano comforting Mi Yu, a female voice suddenly rang out. With a somewhat exaggerated yet slightly distressed tone, she said, "It seems the Dark Blue Rose Knight has suffered a setback in this completely disadvantageous duel. She's tried her best, but she's powerless to recover. What a pity."

“Good opera senior!”

Good Opera's slow arrival made the East Sea Emperor's eyes light up immediately. The Emperor, who had been wondering yesterday whether Good Opera was a good candidate to protect Kitano, quickly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Good Opera, what should we do? Mi Yu has lost this time. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Shanxin and Sheng Wang will also be on stage. But with this level of encirclement, what should we do?"

"Hahaha! That's why I came here! No need to worry, because I'm an invincible good opera!"

When Good Opera heard this, before the East Sea Emperor could finish his sentence, she answered his question in a high-pitched voice. With extremely intoxicated and exaggerated movements, she said to the horse girls in front of her, "If I were a knight running for Her Royal Highness, no one would be able to harm my beloved princess. Unfortunately, now that I am the Overlord, I can't go down and fight for my princess. What a great pity."

"For the sake of my beloved and pitiful Princess, as the Overlord, I will teach you how to break through the encirclement! Just like the Arima Kinen, when I fought my way through the encirclement with such splendor!"

"If you master this move, your chances of winning will greatly increase, but the time you have to master it is very short, so you need to be prepared."

"Really?!" As soon as Good Opera finished speaking, the eyes of the Holy King and the believers, who were about to go into battle in the next two days, lit up. Good Opera nodded in affirmation and said softly, "Indeed, in order to protect my beloved Princess, I am willing to pass on this unique skill to you. Of course, how much you can learn from it is up to you."

"As the unique skills of a hall-of-fame horse girl..." Both the Holy King and the believer swallowed their saliva. They never thought that Good Opera would be willing to help them to this extent... No, it would be better to say that it was not to help them, but to help Kitano.

As the most skilled horse girl in the entire Tresen Academy at facing encirclement, she is actually willing to pass on her unique skills to two horse girls who can be said to have nothing to do with her. Apart from anything else, Good Opera's mind is already stronger than that of most horse girls.

At this moment, what the emperor is more concerned about is the protective heart that Good Opera has shown towards her trainer Sang. The emperor, who was still hesitant before, now feels that it might be a correct choice to pin his hopes on Good Opera to protect Kitano's safety!

Then... I'll reveal what I know to Good Opera-senpai! That way, there's no chance that Trainer-san will be kidnapped by the president and taken to the Symbolist family, nor will he be taken to the Mejiro family by Altan-senpai!

But in fact, in a corner that no one could see, a place that even Kitano did not notice for a moment, at this moment, a figure with green hair was sleeping soundly against a tree, as if he was at peace with the world.

However, only by flying on the grass beside her can one understand what exactly has changed after the dedication and hard work of this horse girl during this period.

"Xing-chan, including today, you've already been running for two days straight. Are your legs really okay?"

While massaging Qingyun Tiankong, Cao Shangfei asked worriedly, "If you do this, Trainer Kitano won't be able to see your efforts. Besides, consecutive matches are very harmful to your body. Even Trainer Kitano wouldn't want you to do this."

"It's not enough, Xiaocao, Xing-chan, what I did is not enough."

At this moment, Qingyun Tiankong, who had been pretending to sleep, slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils flashed with fatigue, but there was also an extremely determined light. She still pretended to smile easily and said, "If Xingjiang wants to join Trainer Kitano's team, she must show an achievement that can match everyone else's ability. Xingjiang, I haven't debuted yet, so I can't compete with everyone. So, this is the only thing I can do."

"Don't worry, most of them don't even have the ability to show my true strength. I can win just by running around. I will be fine-"

"Elu (Condor) and I will help you together, Xing-chan."

Seeing Qingyun Tiankong so persistent, Cao Shangfei also smiled helplessly. Now she was sure that Qingyun Tiankong was completely determined to join Kitano's team, but... she still felt that she had not done enough.

But during this period, Cao Shangfei knew too well how hard Qingyun Tiankong had worked. No one knew how much pressure Qingyun Tiankong was under now. She only hoped that this storm caused and expanded because of her could not be ended because of her, otherwise she would not have the face to see Beiye.

She wanted to try her best to redeem everything on her own. Only in this way could she feel at ease and express her feelings to Kitano.

Chapter 225: The Unsung Hero—Xing-chan!

The situation that Kitano and others are facing now is very serious. After winning the two games of Bourbon and Emperor, the horse racing girls who gathered together for the opportunity to get some guidance also completely realized how big the gap is between themselves and the horse racing girls of Kitano's team.

However, unexpectedly, Miura Bourbon's victory had the opposite effect. Instead of deterring these horse racing girls, it made them more courageous.

Perhaps it was because Bourbon was a horse girl with a mediocre birth and bloodline like them, and her victory this time seemed to make them feel that all this was due to Kitano, who stimulated Bourbon's potential and ability, and made Bourbon achieve a qualitative improvement.

Apparently, they seemed to have forgotten that Bourbon had won the first place in the Uma Musume selection, and that they were only paying attention to the fact that Bourbon was just as mediocre as them. Bourbon's victory only made them more eager to receive guidance from Kitano.

This even made some horse girls who were originally on the sidelines join the same camp. They had the same goal and even formed a team for this purpose, worshipping Ryuichi Kitano as their savior, and even established their own organization's name - "Ryuichi Kitano's Mediocre Horse Girls Support Group."

The members here are all horse racing girls with mediocre qualifications and ordinary bloodlines, or they are struggling to rise up, or are on the verge of giving up, but have regained hope because of Kitano's arrival. Even Ludo Symbol doesn't know that the group now has more than a hundred members, and there are more than a dozen management members!

Moreover, this number is still expanding!

Because even within the Tresen Academy, most of these girls who are out of reach for other horsegirl academies and local horsegirls are still mediocre compared to the real geniuses.

There are only so many GI tournaments in a year, and only a handful of players seem to make it onto the GI circuit. Most of them can only hang out in OP and GIII events, seemingly glamorous, but in reality, they never have the chance to truly reach the pinnacle of competition.

But what could they do? After all, from talent to bloodline, environment, and birth, they were inferior to others in everything. Sports competitions could only maintain a certain degree of fairness and openness, but fairness... people were unfair from the moment they were born.

Absolute fairness is impossible in the arena. They all know this, and they also know that with their own abilities and talents, no truly top trainer will look upon them. They can only become runners-up, becoming the background of the truly famous horse girls.

And at this time, Kitano appeared, and his banner still did not use bloodline and talent as the criteria for judgment, he only valued strength.

Kitano even took the initiative to help horse girls with mediocre bloodlines like them. This action made them see the only hope. The number of horse girls gathered for this purpose, after fermenting in the past few days, far exceeded the number that Kitano and his team could see.

It can only be said that these so-called 47 horse girls who signed the name together are just the vanguard of this fan club, in order to test the attitudes of the student council and Kitano. In fact, Kitano and his team are fighting against horse girls who far exceed this number.
