I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Kitahara Shinji bowed and thanked her, letting her apply the medicine for him. Then, he suddenly remembered something.

"Um... can the treatment costs here be reimbursed?"

he asked cautiously.

He had only been working for four days and hadn't even received his salary yet. He had just bought a bunch of entertainment items for the kids out of his own pocket, so he didn't have any extra money to pay for medical expenses.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, the school doctor couldn't help but laugh, explaining as he laughed.

"No need. Treson's medical care is completely free. After all, being a trainer is a high-risk profession, and injuries are inevitable. So our medical system is very comprehensive, so there's no need to worry."

"...That's good, that's good."

He nodded, and after seeing the school doctor off, he lay down on the hospital bed.

Phew, finally I can continue to slack off, and with a legitimate reason at that. So satisfying.

Just as he was about to take out his phone to check what silly questions the trainers had posted on the forum, his expression suddenly froze.

Wait, did he forget something very important?

After carefully recalling the content of the previous conversation, his face gradually turned pale, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

It seems he forgot to discuss the half of the training boost with Eclipse.

It’s over.

Chapter Nineteen: The Black Forest

To change Eclipse's decision, communication must begin immediately after she makes it.

Once she makes up her mind, no matter what he asks, she will not back down even an inch.

This is the experience that Shinji Kitahara has summarized after spending many years with her.

The thought of the hellish life he might experience after recovering from his injuries made him think it would have been better if he hadn't made a move and had just let the other person beat him up.

Although I don't know what her purpose was in attacking me, it's clear that the initial force wasn't strong. If I didn't resist, at most it would just be superficial injuries, which would heal in a couple of days even without drinking any beverages.

Now, not only am I in the hospital and have had to buy four bottles of drinks, but I also have to undergo extra training...

This is worse than getting a beating!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it wasn't worth it, and the more upset he became. In the end, he finally made up his mind.

Then let's just stop thinking about it.

Open up!

He took out his phone, intending to check the Treson forum for any new silly trainer questions today.

But perhaps because it was recently shut down due to rumors, the forum is pitifully quiet today.

Without any silly news, Shinji Kitahara opened his video app.

But before I even opened the video, the thought of having to do extra training after my injury healed filled me with sadness, and I lost all interest in watching those videos.

Forget it, this might be my last moment of leisure, so I'll stop watching and find someone to chat with.

Thinking this, he turned his gaze to the bed next to his, with a curtain separating the two.

"Hey bro, are you there?"

Because of the curtain separating them, he didn't know who the other person was, but since this was a ward for trainers, the other person should also be a trainer.

"Trainer Kitahara?" A familiar voice came from behind the curtain.

Shinji Kitahara paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Eastern trainer?"

"it's me."

Yosuke Higashimori pulled back the curtain and looked at Shinji Kitahara with surprise: "Trainer Kitahara, what brings you here?"

"That's a long story... How did you get here? Were you attacked by the horse girl?"

"Ah, no, I was just walking down the street and I tripped and twisted my arm."

Speaking of this, Yosuke Higashimori looked a little embarrassed and raised his hand, which was covered in ointment.

Shinji Kitahara glanced at the identical plasters on their hands and his lips twitched.

"Then it seems we came in for the same reason."

After a pause, Shinji Kitahara continued, "By the way, what about your role?"

“She was training on her own, and I was worried about affecting her training, so I told her I had something to do and came over by myself.”

Yosuke Higashimori smiled shyly: "After all, we agreed to keep our distance."

Upon hearing his answer, Shinji Kitahara remained silent for a moment, then reached out his intact hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"You'd better pray that your supervisor doesn't find out about this."

"......ah?"

"Just don't say I didn't warn you if you get into trouble."

He withdrew his hand, his gaze passing over Higashimori Yosuke to the curtain behind him, where there was also a figure.

"What's that over there?"

"Ah, that's Senior Songwei over there. He came in because of... a fractured pelvis."

Kitahara Shinji: "..."

That's actually a fairly common injury.

"By the way, ETTV, who's in charge of your work again?"

When Kitahara Shinji asked, Dongsen answered with a name he had never heard of, probably some random horse girl.

How are things going so far?

"......well enough,"

When talking about his responsibilities, Yosuke Higashimori's expression flashed with a hint of awkwardness.

"She's a stable girl who rose through the ranks from the local area; she was originally under my supervision..."

Oh, then you can just wait to die.

Shinji Kitahara observed three seconds of silence for his pelvis and his girlfriend.

After briefly discussing Yosuke Higashimori's matter, Shinji Kitahara spoke again.

"By the way, Dongsen trainer, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"what's up?"

"You've seen the forum posts from the past few days, haven't you?"

"Ah."

Yosuke Higashimori nodded, then said apologetically.

"I actually wanted to speak up for you, but you said you didn't want anyone to know about your affairs, so I didn't say anything after that..."

"That's alright, but I might actually get a headache if you speak up."

Shinji Kitahara smiled and then spoke.

"That's right. According to information obtained from the chairman, that media storm was deliberately stirred up by someone, and the account's IP address was also concealed..."

"Someone deliberately framed you, Trainer Kitahara?" Yosuke Higashimori asked, somewhat surprised.

"You didn't frame me."

Shinji Kitahara shook his head, then sighed.

"They're targeting Treson."

Hidden camera filming, media storm, and attacks disguised as fans.

Although he is the direct victim, a closer examination reveals that if these events were to continue to evolve and escalate...

The collection of negative information, the instigation of conflicts, and the attempt to smear Donghai Diwang, the most dazzling rising star in Treisen in recent years, through the actions of his fans...

Although he appears to be the direct victim of these actions, a closer examination reveals that these actions ultimately harm the entire Teresa community.

Moreover, the chairman had already become aware of this issue during the filming incident.

Because not only on Kitahara Shinji's side, but also in other parts of the campus, abnormal events were occurring one after another.

Although those events were ultimately prevented from causing any damage due to some certain factor, it did make the chairman begin to suspect the other party's motives.

Before Kitahara Shinji handed over the horse girl, the chairman had already confirmed through some information that the other party's goal was the entire Treson, and that Kitahara Shinji was most likely just a target being carried along—only the number of times and the extent of being carried along were a bit high.

Moreover, this is not something that can be kept secret.

Although the chairman advised them not to disclose it to the students to avoid causing widespread panic, there were no problems among the trainers themselves.

After all, compared to horse girls, human trainers are undoubtedly much more vulnerable and easier targets.

Even though he wasn't talking to Yosuke Higashimori about it, before he left the chairman's office, the chairman had already started preparing to send a group message to the trainers, informing them of the seriousness of the situation and urging them to be on high alert.

Another point is that Shinji Kitahara remembered that at the welcome party, Yosuke Higashimori said that in the years he had not been a trainer, he had basically been working in the city where the Treson headquarters was located.

Therefore, Shinji Kitahara thought that he might know something about the situation here, so he wanted to ask him for some information and see if he could think of anything, such as a suspicious organization.

"Well, I'm just an ordinary working man..."

Although shocked by Shinji Kitahara's words, Yosuke Higashimori shook his head with a wry smile.

"I'm only good at being a trainer; I'm not very good at anything else. Also, because of my personality, I rarely participate in social activities. I probably don't even know as much as you, Trainer Kitahara, so how could that be..."

As he was speaking, Yosuke Higashimori suddenly stopped and frowned.

Wait a minute, speaking of this, he actually seems to know about such a suspicious organization.

"Trainer Kitahara, I don't know if this counts."

He frowned, trying to recall carefully.

“Some time before I joined Treson, some people did approach me and offered me a high price to join them, but I didn’t think they were any decent people, so I refused.”

It's as if Treson, who has a history of people breaking their pelvises, is being serious.

Shinji Kitahara thought to himself, then spoke.

"What's the name of that organization?"

Yosuke Higashimori frowned.

"I remember, they seemed to call themselves..."

"Black Forest".

......

"Your Majesty, you have come at the perfect time."

Before the Emperor of the East Sea could even open the door to the student council room, Rudolf Symbol raised his head with a serious expression.

"I was just going to find you."

"What's wrong, President?"

"According to the information from the chairman, an organization called 'Black Forest' has its eye on Treson for some purpose and is now trying to deal with us. One of their main targets is you."

Rudolph symbolizes a serious tone.

"You, and that trainer with mental problems, are both in danger."

Chapter Twenty: The Dangerous Kitahara Shinji

Rudolf was right; Shinji Kitahara is indeed in a very dangerous situation.

It could even be a life-threatening danger.

Shortly after he finished talking with Higashimori Yosuke, a brown-haired, red-eyed woman with a mysterious smile on her face, holding two vials of medicine, pushed open the door to the infirmary.

The moment she appeared, the infirmary, which had been filled with some chatter, fell completely silent.

All the curtains were instantly drawn and locked. Even the one with the shattered pelvis struggled to get up, endured the excruciating pain, pulled the curtains shut, and then lay back down, sweating profusely and holding his breath, afraid of attracting the attention of the young mistress.
