I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

And now we hear that he sets an enormous amount of training for his horse girls, and this is irrefutable evidence from his own team. Combined with the news about some unscrupulous trainers that we've seen before, even the kindest person would find it hard not to feel disgusted by him.

As for those who spoke up for Shinji Kitahara, of course there were some.

However, compared to those who smeared him, the voices that spoke up for him were too weak, and their arguments were hardly convincing.

You say he treats the female horses very well? Then why does he give them so much training?

You said he has a way to increase the training volume of female horses without causing injury?

Just kidding. Uma Musume has been around for so many years, everyone pays a lot of attention to it, and everyone knows a little bit about the ins and outs.

If you suggest increasing their training volume by 20-30%, but then use some special methods to help them alleviate the strain, they might believe you. But 200-300%...

You should know that even the most egregious trainer, who was truly unscrupulous and would stop at nothing to win, fed his own horse girl green juice (a special recovery drink for horse girls) every day, and his training volume was still less than twice that of others.

Even if it wasn't double, the horse girl from that unscrupulous trainer still achieved good results, but ended up suffering from mental trauma. Not to mention that Shinji Kitahara's team's average training volume was two to three times higher.

Huh? You're asking about the final outcome for this unscrupulous trainer?

Although his actions were indeed excessive in the public eye, they did not break the law, so he did not receive any substantial punishment. He simply left Tresson after his term ended and then disappeared without a trace.

However, according to some rumors, after leaving the company, some people witnessed the trainer and his supervisor appearing at the White Castle.

The former was pale and unsteady on his feet, while the latter had a smile on his face and was carrying a whole box of horse-jumping enhancement potions...

In short, for various reasons, after the Emperor of the East Sea's words spread, Kitahara Shinji's already poor image in the outside world quickly deteriorated.

Even more seriously, after this matter spread, some people, adhering to the principle of "hearing is believing," specifically came to Tressen to inquire, and received a positive response, and even obtained more information.

Excessive training, strange drinks, poor background with little money, and often letting the horse girls run wild while he's out doing who-knows-what, completely disregarding his role as a trainer...

These are not rumors, but things that Shinji Kitahara actually did.

Although most people in Tresson's headquarters knew what he was busy with, and also knew that he had the ability to do so.

But to outsiders who are unaware of the situation, this is a completely unscrupulous and negligent trainer, even worse and more irresponsible than the previous unscrupulous trainer.

As those comments gained traction, Shinji Kitahara's image plummeted, and those who were already attacking and smearing him seized the opportunity.

Building on those extreme statements, they further fabricated and listed his crimes, attempting to portray him as an unforgivable sinner who would stop at nothing to win and exploit Ma Niang in order to seize victory.

To fan the flames, to incite trouble.

To push things along, to fuel the flames.

The East Sea Emperor's remarks acted as a fuse, igniting the gunpowder that had been building up over the past few months. In a very short time, it sparked a huge discussion, even trending on the outside world's internet search and quickly reaching the top.

Doubt, contempt, even insults...

The outcry against Shinji Kitahara reached its peak, with some even attempting to unite others to sign a petition for Treson to expel him, or even for URA to ban him from the competition.

Amid this surge of public opinion, not only the Treson headquarters, but also the Ma Niang family members who had previously had contact with him, all cast astonished glances in Treson's direction.

Some people have even started planning how to snatch him away before other families can take action if he really can't hold on.

So, what was Shinji Kitahara doing while public opinion was escalating wildly?

The answer is that they are being exploited.

Squeezing in a physical sense.

The incident began a few days after the East Sea Emperor Tournament, when Shinji Kitahara was taken to Alice's laboratory for a 'physical examination'.

Although he had previously had some in-depth conversations with Rudolf, for various reasons, Rudolf has not yet explained this to others, nor has he joined the 'physical examination' process.

Occasionally, he would secretly call Shinji Kitahara to the student council, then, under the guise of private work, avoid the sight of the air tank and Shirohito Narita, and then...

Well, we'll do some more private work.

And the problem lies in these two points.

The first problem was with the 'physical examination'. During another examination at the Alice Lab, a certain ghost, who was used to wandering around without knocking, happened to witness the 'physical examination' in the lab.

Then, just as Kitahara Shinji realized what was happening and was about to remind the others, and also explain the situation to Zhou Ri Ningjing,

Before he could even speak, Zhou Ri Ningjing suddenly undressed and charged at him like a wolf eyeing a lamb.

"Let me join in too!"

Then......

There's no after that.

Although Sunday's tranquility came on strong, within minutes it was nothing more than an invisible little fish twitching on the ground.

However, if it were just a quiet Sunday, Shinji Kitahara wouldn't have said he had a major headache.

The problem is that, unlike Rudolph, after having her fun on Sunday, Ning Jing didn't forget to take care of her little one. When she got back, she shared the story with Manchester Tea House, and then took Manchester Tea House to find Kitahara Shinji, saying that she had to bring her along for the next 'physical check-up'.

Faced with Zhou Rining's outrageous remarks on Sunday, and looking at the embarrassed Manchester tea party in front of him, Kitahara Shinji's eye twitched. He immediately expressed his refusal, but...

"Don't tell me you didn't notice that after your 'checks,' those children's abilities improved in every way. For example, look at their training after each checkup; they clearly have more energy than usual..."

"The Satsuki Sho competition is just around the corner, and both Uchisaki and Alice will be participating. Chaza will be competing against them, so if you don't bring Chaza, that would be favoritism, giving them special treatment..."

Although the female characters in Shinji Kitahara's team had previously been sabotaging each other, after the Valentine's Day incident, they realized that teaming up against each other seemed to be a better option...

Especially after actually trying to 'communicate' with Shinji Kitahara, they became increasingly aware of whether they could ultimately achieve victory, even without mentioning each other's sabotage.

Even if they win, it would be difficult for them to withstand Shinji Kitahara's 'favor' on their own.

After all, even with this group of people and the eclipse, he couldn't even catch his breath. In the end, he usually had to deal with the leftovers and clean up the mess himself. If he were alone, it probably wouldn't be as simple as just being paralyzed in bed...

In short, after actually trying to communicate with Shinji Kitahara, Ma-chan, who was initially hesitant to share the matter of Shinji Kitahara with others, instantly changed her mind. After several defeats, she even had the idea of ​​bringing more people over to share her burden.

However, although they no longer mind sharing Shinji Kitahara with others, this 'not minding' is only limited to their team.

After spending so much time together, everyone had developed some feelings for each other, especially after joining forces to deal with Kitahara Shinji last time. They felt like they were fighting side by side, so the resentment in their hearts naturally lessened.

But if outsiders came, apart from companies like Aili Digital that think the more people the better, everyone else would probably turn their guns on each other and join forces against the enemy.

As for Zhou Rijing, she was already very open about this, and given the situation, she naturally brought Manchester Tea House over.

Faced with Zhou Ri Ning's calm words, although she knew in her heart that she was arguing illogically, she looked at the Manchester tea house in front of her, whose face was almost overflowing with disappointment and sadness after hearing her rejection.

After a period of silence, Shinji Kitahara finally couldn't bring himself to do it and sighed as he agreed.

"But Tea House, I hope you'll think carefully about what this means when you get back. This isn't a game; it concerns your future. Don't do something you'll regret because of a momentary impulse..."

"Well, I know."

Manchester Tea House looked up, his face flushed, at Kitahara Shinji, and whispered.

"But I won't regret it, because I really, really like Trainer Kitahara..."

"...Anyway, go back and think about it first. There are still several days before the next 'inspection'."

After temporarily appeasing the Manchester tea house, Shinji Kitahara received a message from Rudolf, inviting him to the student council to discuss some 'private work'.

Upon seeing this message, Shinji Kitahara was troubled, but having already done that kind of thing, he didn't intend to run away. Shortly after receiving the message, he went to the student council office.

Just as he had expected, Rudolf's invitation to him was not to discuss anything serious. After finding a pretext to send Qisuo and Narita Shirahito away, Rudolf sat in his lap with a smile and gently lifted his chin.

"Trainer Kitahara, I told you, I won't lose to those little guys..."

"...Are you sure you want to do this in the student council room?"

Shinji Kitahara's lips twitched.

"This is your office space..."

"The problem is, where else can we go? If the two of us go into some room alone and get seen, we'll probably be on the front page of the Teresa Forum the next day..."

As he spoke, Rudolf used his other hand to unbutton Shinji Kitahara's shirt and continued.

"Furthermore, I can guarantee that Qi Cao and Bai Ren won't be back until before dinner. The door is already locked, so we have plenty of time..."

Upon hearing her words, Shinji Kitahara couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Do you really think we need this much time? You couldn't even last three minutes last time. I think half an hour should be enough. After all, if I take it easy, you should be able to recover in about twenty minutes..."

Upon hearing Kitahara Shinji's words, Rudolf stiffened, then a forced smile appeared on his face. He turned around and pressed Kitahara Shinji down onto the sofa.

"Very well, you said it yourself, don't regret it..."

Rudolf said that.

Then, a little over three minutes later, he collapsed onto the sofa again, his eyes glazed over, his chest heaving, and he was breathing heavily.

Seeing her like this, Shinji Kitahara couldn't help but sigh.

"I said, yes... Luna, why don't you go to the lab next time? At least there are more people there..."

When faced with Shinji Kitahara's well-intentioned advice, Rudolph simply glared at him but didn't say anything—mainly because she didn't have the energy to say anything at the moment.

However, just as Shinji Kitahara was about to say something more, a familiar female voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of something being opened.

"Tsk, this place is really hard to climb. I really don't know what Representative Qianming is thinking, walking through this place every day..."

Sirius, who had a rare moment of inspiration, climbed into the student council room through the window like Chiaki. As soon as he landed, he met the eyes of Kitahara Shinji, who was disheveled on the sofa. At the same time, he also saw Rudolf, who was even more disheveled on the sofa and looked like something was wrong.

Dead silence.

Shinji Kitahara stared at the Sirius symbol before him, and after a moment of silence, his lips twitched.

"Um, Sirius, let me explain, it's not what you think..."

"Oh? How so?"

After getting a clear look at the room, Sirius put on a forced smile and slowly walked up to Kitahara Shinji.

Then, just as Shinji Kitahara was racking his brains trying to figure out how to explain, a familiar force came and he was once again pressed down onto the sofa.

"...Miss Sirius?"

Shinji Kitahara paused, unsure of what she was up to.

As for Sirius, he did not answer Shinji Kitahara's question. Instead, he turned to look at Rudolf, who was unable to move, and gave him a provocative smile.

“Look at our ‘Emperor’ now, what a state he is in…”

Rudolf didn't answer, but just slumped on the sofa, silently watching her. There was no anger in his eyes after being provoked; instead, there was more pity.

Seeing that Rudolf didn't respond, Sirius clicked her tongue and then turned her gaze back to Kitahara Shinji, thinking to herself, "I don't believe she can remain so calm after stealing my man right in front of me..."

Then, thinking this, Sirius lowered his head, and then...

There's no after that.

Two minutes later, another 'corpse' appeared on the sofa.

The once-renowned Geminis lay sprawled on the sofa, their eyes reflecting each other—one gloating, the other filled with shame and indignation.

Beside them, Shinji Kitahara looked at his clothes, which were torn in many places, and some obvious marks on his body, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What kind of mess is this...?"

Chapter 278: The Perfect Plan

After the twins collapsed on the sofa, Shinji Kitahara originally planned to stay with them until they recovered before leaving.

But after he had been watching over them for a while, a phone call came in from the chairman. Although he really wanted to stay with them, after listening to the chairman's account of the events and the messages he received on his phone, Shinji Kitahara remained silent for a moment before turning to the two of them and explaining the situation.

"Something rather serious has happened, and the chairman is calling me. I might have to leave a little early..."

As he spoke, Shinji Kitahara showed the two of them his phone screen, and the top trending topic on it, 'Unscrupulous trainer Shinji Kitahara,' instantly made them realize the seriousness of the situation.

"Then you go ahead first, I... I'll come over once I've recovered a bit."

Having recovered a little and at least able to perform basic activities, Rudolf got up from the sofa. Although his body was still a bit weak, he wanted to spend more time with Shinji Kitahara.

But she understood the gravity of the situation, so she nodded and let Shinji Kitahara go. After he left, she locked the door with trembling hands, then picked up her phone and contacted Speed ​​Symbol.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the message, Shinji Kitahara quickly arrived at the chairman's office. As he pushed open the door, he found the trio sitting around the desk, staring intently at the screen as if facing a formidable enemy. Upon his arrival, they all turned to look at him.

"Urgent! Trainer Kitahara, come quick!"

Upon seeing Shinji Kitahara arrive, Yayoi Akikawa quickly pulled him over and made him sit beside her, looking at the screen in front of her, which displayed the sudden outbreak of various discussions and attacks against him.

Although similar situations have occurred before, such as those articles that smeared Shinji Kitahara, and even earlier, the discussions about him sparked by the Necha running incident.

The problem is that compared to the momentum of today's public opinion, the previous smears and attacks against him were like a gentle breeze, on a completely different level.

Moreover, it's not just about discussions and attacks. After public opinion fermented to a certain point, some people have now reported to Tresson and URA, and even jointly petitioned for the dismissal of Shinji Kitahara.

If this were the old Shinji Kitahara, he would probably be laughing in his sleep over this, since his original plan was to be a trainer for three years, make enough money, and then find a chance to run away.
