I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

The message came from the chairman of the board, requesting all trainers currently on campus with free time to gather in the conference room as soon as possible, saying that there was something very important and urgent to discuss.

Recalling what I'd heard from the trainers before—that the chairman was waiting for someone to return, and then preparing to take action...

"You guys go to the activity room first. The chairman is calling for trainers. I'll go over there."

As he spoke, he took out a key and handed it to them, then turned and left.

Since it was the chairman who called him, the women didn't find it strange and let him leave without any explanation.

But once they arrived at the activity room, the atmosphere became strange.

Upon arrival, they suddenly realized that Shinji Kitahara might have been in a hurry and hadn't noticed when he took out his keys, and seemed to have given them the wrong keys. The serrated edges of the keys didn't match the lock on the activity room door at all; they couldn't even insert them, let alone turn them.

If it's just that the door can't be opened, it's not a big problem. After all, they can just play outside, and the horse girls won't care about such a small thing.

What truly concerns them is another issue.

If this key isn't for the activity room...

So, where does this key come from?

After considering a certain possibility, the women looked at each other, their eyes flashing with a strange light.

Chapter 56: Some are dying of drought, others of floods.

Meanwhile, Shinji Kitahara, completely unaware that he had given the wrong key, arrived at the conference room.

He arrived relatively early; there weren't many people inside when he arrived, and the chairman wasn't there either.

After casually choosing a place to sit down, he and the others who had already arrived began speculating about why the chairman had summoned them today. They came to the same conclusion: Treson was probably going to take action against the Black Forest.

Then, as time went on, the number of people in the meeting room grew, accompanied by discussions, and some strange individuals began to appear.

It's not that they're strange people, it's just that they carry some strange marks.

Things like having a different colored hair in your collar, a hickey on your neck, or a bite mark on your ring finger that looks like a wedding ring are considered relatively conservative.

Some people walked unsteadily, and those who smelled of shower gel were still within acceptable limits. After all, at least they tried to cover themselves up and knew they had some sense of shame.

But what happened to those pale-faced people who were carried in? Their legs were trembling!

Although their behavior clearly indicated that it wasn't voluntary, Shinji Kitahara still wanted to complain about how Treson had turned into this monstrous state.

What's even more terrifying is that the other trainers seemed to be used to it. They weren't surprised at all, and even laughed gleefully when those people came in. They were then glared at by the other trainers with looks that said, "Wait until you do this again, then we'll see if you can still laugh." Only the new trainers had subtle expressions.

Then, when the time was almost up, the chairman pushed open the door and entered, and the discussion immediately stopped.

Unlike in the past, the chairperson did not enter alone this time; she was followed by another person.

Brown hair, green eyes, a kind smile, dressed in a green secretary's outfit with a yellow tie and a hat of the same color, exuding a mature and gentle demeanor.

Junkawa Tezuna, the chairman's most trusted assistant, had been absent from school for unknown reasons and only returned today.

When she appeared, the new trainers didn't react much, only wondering why the chairman was followed by such a person today. But the veteran trainers immediately straightened up, their eyes filled with eagerness and hope as they looked at her.

Especially those trainers who were pale and unable to walk struggled to sit up and looked at her as if she were their savior.

Because she truly was their savior.

Besides being the chairman's assistant, Tsuna is also known as the cuckold or the green devil among the female wolves.

The reason is that she always manages to suddenly appear when certain horse girls intend to do something inappropriate to their trainers, and she is quite powerful in combat, easily subduing those out-of-control horse girls and sending them to the special confinement room at the Treson headquarters.

Moreover, she was the captain of the security team at the Treson headquarters, and she took many people with her when she went out this time, leaving the Treson headquarters with weak internal security, which is why the Treson headquarters is now in the state that Shinji Kitahara sees.

In the past, although there were some abnormal situations, thanks to the presence of Tsuna and the headquarters guard, Treisen was at least generally, or on the surface, worthy of the title of the highest-ranking horse racing school.

Therefore, it's easy to understand why the veteran trainers were so moved.

They didn't know what would happen to the Black Forest, nor did they care, and they could even say they didn't care at all, since they had basically never dealt with the Black Forest.

All they knew was that if the cuckold returned, while it wouldn't mean they could rest easy, the likelihood and frequency of misfortune would definitely decrease, and the probability of ending up in the hospital would be much lower.

But before they could even enjoy their happiness for a few minutes, the chairman's next words shattered their newly nascent hope, instantly plunging them into greater darkness and despair.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

The chairman held up a folding fan to conceal his expression.

The trainers exchanged glances, tentatively asking, "So...good news?"

"Sure! Then I can tell you all very clearly that starting next month, your salaries will all be significantly increased!"

"And... what's the bad news?"

"Junchuan! This... you can explain it." The chairman still didn't put down his folding fan, concealing his expression.

"Ok."

Junkawa Tezuna nodded slightly, then sighed, his gaze towards the trainers gradually becoming serious.

"If I were to give you the conclusion directly, I'm afraid you all wouldn't be able to handle it, so I'll start from the beginning."

"More than a decade ago, URA discovered an anomaly: in certain years, the number of female ponies among newborns increased dramatically, to the point of being an exaggeration."

“But URA didn’t pay attention to this at the time. After all, according to historical records, there were years in which the number of female ponies increased for various reasons. But it wasn’t until recent years that they realized that the increase in those years was much greater than they expected.”

"Taking Hokkaido as an example, in the past, Hokkaido had a total population of about six million, of which about five thousand were Umako."

"But after that wave more than a decade ago, the number of female horses there is now nearly 15,000, almost three times the original number."

"The reason why URA failed to discover this situation earlier is that the newly born horse girls are often born in relatively remote places such as rural areas or towns, where there are no branch schools of Treson nearby, so they were not able to notice it until they grew up in recent years."

Upon hearing this, one of the trainers couldn't help but ask a question.

"What about the Department of Population Statistics? Given the severity of the situation, it's understandable that the URA might not have noticed it due to a lack of firsthand data, but surely they couldn't have been unaware of it either?"

Surugawa Tessuna sighed and bowed.

"They've already apologized like this."

All trainers: "..."

Traditional arts and private Marseille, right?

"Moreover, it's not just Hokkaido; the number of female racehorses in various parts of Japan has increased to varying degrees, and even Hokkaido's increase is not considered significant among them."

"Furthermore, for the reasons I just mentioned, these increases were not detected or prevented in advance and were only noticed in recent years. My previous departure from school was to investigate this matter."

As for the outcome...

She sighed, her tone gradually becoming more pitying.

"Everyone, I think you can all understand how dangerous it is to let girls in puberty or even those undergoing orthodoxy live in the outside world, both for them and for everyone else."

"So, regardless of whose fault it was, Treson must take responsibility and try to bring them all in."

“The work has already begun in other places, and we at headquarters certainly can’t just stand by and watch. In fact, we have to do more because we have the most resources.”

At this point, some trainers realized something, and their eyes gradually widened.

"Miss Junchuan, you don't mean to mean...?"

"Yes, from now on, a large number of female students will begin to transfer to the headquarters from various places. Even with the most conservative calculation, the final number of transfers will not be less than the current number of students on campus. The rest of the work can only be left to you."

She raised her head and glanced at the group of trainers.

"Gentlemen, in order to deal with this situation, Treson is now entering a special state of emergency."

"From now on, all new trainers will be treated as regular trainers, their team formation privileges will be unlocked, and they must take on at least one horse girl within a year."

"As for veteran trainers, from now on they will all be considered as having formed teams. Including their roles, the team size must not be less than two people within one year, and must expand to at least three people within two years, with no upper limit. Furthermore, as the team size increases, the total salary will also increase."

"The recruitment of new trainers is underway, and the recall of old trainers is also in progress, but this will take time. Until then, we can only ask you all to hold on."

Surugawa Tezuna's tone was sincere.

There was dead silence in the audience.

After hearing what Tsuna Sugawa said, the trainers' faces turned pale.

To outsiders unaware of the situation, this new requirement seems absolutely fantastic.

A higher salary, the ability to get closer to more beautiful girls, or even openly build a harem—is there anything more enjoyable than this?

But when these words reached the trainers' ears, they felt as if they could already hear death knocking on their pelvis.

Especially those few who were already deathly pale when they came in, now they are completely bloodless.

They've already managed to get into this mess with just one person in charge, and now you're telling them to increase the team size to three within two years?

Moreover, it's not just a team issue. The influx of such a large number of horse girls will inevitably increase the operational burden on the Treson headquarters, which will then manifest in various aspects, such as the shortage of teaching resources, insufficient cafeteria supplies, and most importantly, a deterioration in the security environment...

Even the Green Hats and the main security force are barely managing to maintain the superficial stability of Treson at its current size. If a large number of new students were to flood in, or even double the size, the consequences would be catastrophic.

If that time really comes, the security situation and the rate of accidents on campus might be even higher than when she was away in the past few weeks.

Moreover, although what Tsuna is saying so far seems to be just a problem of a surge in numbers, the veteran trainers don't believe that a simple population survey can drag on for so long for the Green Devil.

The population survey is most likely just a smokescreen to appease outsiders; there's definitely something else going on behind the scenes, probably related to the sudden surge in horse girls, coupled with the need to expand the fleet...

"Is it too late to resign now?" a trainer asked, raising his hand.

"During this special period, resignations will not be approved at this time. Furthermore, the court has communicated with us and indicated that it will not accept related cases. All matters related to Ma Niang will be handled entirely by Teresen and URA. We ask for your understanding during this special period."

Surugawa Tezuna paused for a moment, then added.

"But please rest assured, Treson will do everything in his power to protect your safety, and even if something goes wrong and you are injured, Treson will take responsibility. And if you die, a large sum of money will be sent to your family... But personally, I do not want that to happen."

"I hope to see you all leave Treson alive and well."

silence.

Knowing that the matter was settled and could not be changed, the trainers stopped talking and began to think about how to live peacefully in the days to come.

Some people have even started contacting those horse girls with more stable personalities, trying to recruit them into the team before others.

Let's put grades aside for now; surviving is the most important thing.

However, while most trainers are now panicking because of this new order, there are also a few trainers who are not only not panicking, but also looking amused - because they already have teams.

While there aren't any superhuman men like Taishi Miyuki who can withstand seventeen members with their bare human bodies, combinations of one or two members plus three or four female team members are not uncommon.

After all, not everyone is an oddball like Shinji Kitahara. In a normal team, the trainer is only responsible for the role, while the team's horse girl only provides the most basic guidance.

While it can't be said that they were irresponsible, it's like the difference between one-on-one private tutoring and a public class in a classroom.

The former is responsible to the end, which can easily lead to trouble, while the latter is just about finishing work and calling it a day. The relationship is generally not close, and accidents are unlikely to happen.

After achieving good results and proving themselves, or even if they haven't achieved good results but have found someone they've agreed to date, they can sign a contract with a dedicated trainer and leave the team. Some trainers and mentors who are close to each other will even treat everyone to red bean rice because of this, and some will even cry with joy and relief.

At this point, some people might wonder, since the team's horse girls are like this, finding one or two shouldn't be a problem, right?

But that's a wrong viewpoint.

It's not that trainers don't want to form teams; in fact, most trainers at the Treson headquarters want to form teams. On the one hand, the income is higher, and on the other hand, having more people in the team can avoid being alone with a single horse girl, significantly reducing the probability of accidents.

The problem is that whether or not a team is formed is not something that a trainer can decide alone.

In fact, trainers who can form teams are generally mild-mannered, and the relationship between them is usually quite normal, so the probability of accidents is not high.

In this situation, not to mention the female horse in the team, some teams can get along very well even with two or three people in charge.

As for the specific team size, it will vary depending on the trainer's ability and the number of assistant trainers in the team. Some teams have only two or three people, while others, including assistant trainers, can have as many as twenty or thirty people.

However, these are only a very small minority. For most people, let alone forming a team, even just having some inclination may trigger some strange switches in their roles, leading to some unpleasant situations.

Some are dying of drought, while others are dying of flooding; that's basically the situation.

But for Shinji Kitahara...

It can only be said that his situation is rather special.

One of his two responsibilities was something he didn't need to manage, while the other was more of a trainer than a responsibilities person.

As a result, the team members who were supposed to just be there to listen to the lectures ended up behaving more like the team members themselves, which is an extremely special case and cannot be taken as a general example.

He was also one of those who were indifferent to the new order. After all, he was a rookie trainer with a team of seven members under his command. Moreover, the team members had good relationships and kept a proper distance from each other, so he didn't have to worry about any messy things.

In comparison, he was more concerned about another issue.

"Um, Miss Junchuan."

He raised his hand.

"How does Treson plan to handle the situation in the Black Forest?"
