I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"The Black Forest? Ah, you mean that organization?"

Junkawa Tessuna pondered for a moment, then gave a kind smile.

"You are Trainer Kitahara, right? The Chairman has already told me about your situation. I'm really sorry for what happened to you recently, that you suffered such an undeserved misfortune. But please don't worry, I will handle this matter properly soon and make sure that nothing like this happens again."

As she spoke, she looked at Akikawa Yayoi and asked, bowing her head.

"Chairman, do you have any requirements in this regard?"

At this point, Akikawa Yayoi finally put away her folding fan, her face showing obvious displeasure, and gently tapped her palm with the closed fan.

"I'm annoyed! If you hadn't taken everyone out, there wouldn't even be enough people to maintain order on campus. How could we let these little shrimps cause trouble in Tressen? After this week, I don't want to see any more news about them in Tressen."

"Okay, Chairman."

Junkawa Tessuna agreed so easily that the newly hired trainers were stunned.

I was just having a really tough time with them, but now...

"Don't be surprised."

An experienced trainer patted a new trainer on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Silly child, think carefully about what you've seen and heard since you entered the school. Do you think Treson could act so recklessly if he didn't have some power?"

"But, wasn't it like that before..."

Before the new trainer could finish speaking, the veteran trainer interrupted him, then gestured with his eyes to Tsuna Sugawa, who was not far away, shook his head slightly, and sighed a little.

"If the chairman is the brain of Treson, then Miss Junchuan is the arm responsible for carrying out the brain's instructions. It's just that this arm has been busy with work the other day, so even though it felt irritable, it didn't have time to care about the mosquito bites. But now that the matter has been put down..."

"It's time for reckoning."

--------

Chapter 57: It feels like someone is acting in his shoes.

After the meeting ended and the chairman and Tsuna Sugawa left, the discussion in the conference room immediately resumed.

The trainers had different expressions; some looked desperate, already imagining what would happen to them after they told their supervisor the news.

Some even took out their phones on the spot to contact the school doctor and pre-book a bed for patients with fractured pelvises, so that they wouldn't be unable to get one when there were too many people.

Some looked a little panicked, but still felt there was hope, and began to gather in twos and threes to discuss whether to go to the hospital to see Sanxiong Taishi, and also to ask him for advice on how to balance the relationships within the team.

Others seemed indifferent, since they already had teams and rarely cared about anything outside of training. New regulations and the Black Forest were irrelevant to them. Instead of worrying about this and that, they might as well go back to work.

Shinji Kitahara belongs to the third type.

The new regulations have nothing to do with him, and the chairman of the Black Forest Association said they would handle it, so the rest is none of his business.

As for the previously mentioned surge in the number of female horses and the influx of new students, those are even less relevant to him.

After all, the number of horse girls is not something he can decide, and he already has enough people in his team. Even if he transfers in twice as many horse girls, it won't bother him.

So after the meeting, looking at the other trainers who were in a panic, he felt nothing at all, and even wanted to laugh a little - you guys know you regret it now, right?

Why can't they learn from him and keep their distance from their responsibilities and the women under their control? Isn't a purely financial relationship better?

After shaking his head with a sigh, Shinji Kitahara didn't linger in the meeting room. He chatted briefly with the other trainers before leaving, as there were still a few kids waiting for him in the activity room.

However, just as he stepped out of the building, Shinji Kitahara received a message from Eclipse, saying that they had left the activity room and were staying in the training field, and that he should come and find them.

Shinji Kitahara didn't suspect anything. After all, most of the horse girls are restless and would go to the training ground to get some fresh air after spending too much time in the activity room, so he went there directly.

Then, after entering the training ground, Shinji Kitahara had just seen them from afar and hadn't even had a chance to get closer when he heard the voice of the Emperor of the East Sea rang out.

"Trainer, don't move!"

Shinji Kitahara paused, not understanding why, but stopped in his tracks, and then...

Ding--

Far away, an arc of light glided through the air and landed steadily in his pocket, making a crisp sound as it clattered against another key inside.

Then, Shinji Kitahara immediately realized what they were doing.

So they're using their pockets as basketball hoops to practice shooting, right?

Thinking of this, he reached into his pocket, took out both keys, checked them, and after confirming they were still there, he walked over with a dark face and began to lecture them, saying things like, "What if you lose one of the keys?"

In the past, even if he was in the right, these kids probably wouldn't listen to his lecture. At the very least, they would try to argue their way out or try to get away with it by being cute.

But today they behaved unusually well, never uttering a single word of rebuttal no matter what he said, nor did they try to get away with it by being cute. They were very cooperative, and their tone of admitting their mistakes was very sincere.

On the other hand, Alice Digital seemed to want to say something but hesitated for a moment. After sensing the gazes from those around her, she finally couldn't say anything and lowered her head with a slightly guilty look.

Shinji Kitahara had his suspicions about their strange behavior, but halfway through his suspicions, he suddenly remembered that he had bought them drinks that afternoon, which was unusual for him, and suddenly everything made sense.

They still have some conscience.

Thinking this way, Shinji Kitahara didn't make things too difficult for them. He casually gave them a few words of advice and then stopped pursuing the matter. He then took out his phone and returned to his usual routine.

As for the others, seeing that he had no suspicions, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Sensing the extra metal object in their pockets, they returned to their usual playful antics with smiles on their faces.

It's as if nothing happened.

......

Peaceful times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the third week of training came to an end.

Aside from a bunch of messy things that happened on Monday, Shinji Kitahara's remaining four days went very smoothly, to the point that it made him somewhat doubt himself.

Because of his past experiences, coupled with what he had encountered in the previous two weeks, he almost thought he had contracted some strange disease that would immediately target him if he tried to give up. He was even prepared for all sorts of trouble to come knocking on his door this week.

But nothing happened.

The female horses in the team have become inexplicably well-behaved since Monday. Now they gather together every morning to wait for him to arrive, greet him, and then begin training, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.

Outside the team, Black Forest hasn't bothered him again. And although the details are unclear, it's said that the chairman's actions are going very smoothly. Black Forest is already struggling to protect itself, let alone deal with Treson.

Then there's the matter of next week's match.

Last Friday, the East Sea Emperor told him that she planned to participate in a basic tournament next week. After thinking about it, Kitahara Shinji also talked to Eclipse and Alice about the tournament schedule.

"Let's schedule it all in one day; that will save time."

Neither Elizabeth nor the Emperor of the East Sea objected to the eclipse's statement.

Unlike the few official matches that happen every month, there are several basic matches every day.

After all, most female horse riders may not participate in more than a few formal races in their lifetime.

People often come to run basic races when they're bored during regular training or want to prepare for future major competitions and practice in advance. So there are always a lot of people participating, and there are plenty of races available. You can basically book a few days in advance.

If you don't mind being matched with opponents whose scores are significantly different, you can even do so by simply giving them a day's notice.

Although the matches were scheduled for the same day, it was only natural that Shinji Kitahara did not put them in the same match. After all, both Alice and Tokai Teio were potential champions who could easily secure first place, so there was no need to make them fight each other.

As for the solar eclipse...

Shinji Kitahara could only say that as long as she's happy.

With the competition arrangements finalized, all that remained was preparation.

Information gathering, site survey, targeted training, opponent assessment, and development of running strategies...

Logically speaking, this is something that trainers should do before a competition, even for basic competitions, and it is also a good opportunity for new trainers to practice.

But Shinji Kitahara did not do it either.

Because Aili Digital helped him with the cooperation of Aili Suko, and even seemed very enthusiastic during the process, it felt like he had sold her out and was still helping him count the money.

Of course, although she is working as an assistant trainer, she has not neglected her own training and has received some help from Shinji Kitahara. She has also registered and is preparing to participate in a G1 competition in June.

Although Aili Digital seemed happy about this, Shinji Kitahara wasn't a heartless boss, and he felt a little guilty about always taking advantage of her like this. So he suggested taking her to visit Maimai's place on Saturday to see if he could order another set of the final outfit for her, and also to make up the number of people.

Although she didn't know the specifics of the store, Aili Digital readily agreed because she trusted Shinji Kitahara's judgment.

After inviting Aili Digital, Shinji Kitahara began to consider the remaining candidates.

After all, the elderly Ma Niang had said last week that if he didn't bring four people with him this time, she wouldn't even let him in the door.

Moreover, based on his understanding of that person, he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Let's bring Oguri Hat and Special Week along too; it'll be a good opportunity to gather data on them. As for Ms. Kusa...

Shinji Kitahara originally didn't want to call her, since there were already enough people.

But after reflecting on her experiences over the past two weeks, he began to waver.

Back then, he actually wanted to use the fact that Special Week had become a cripple to give her a boost, but who knew that before she could even speak, Special Week directly called over Silent Suzuka.

After that, she missed a few opportunities when Suzuka was busy. First, she missed feeding Special Week because she was distracted, and then she missed the chance to be alone on Sunday because she went back to her hometown to visit relatives.

In this new, peaceful third week, as Special Week regained his mobility, she also completely lost the opportunity to take care of Special Week.

In addition, because Suzuka was worried about Tetsuya, she would come over from time to time, so Suzuka could only watch the two of them interact from afar every day, unable to get a word in edgewise.

Moreover, because she was just a nominal outsider, the other members of the team didn't interact with her much, always maintaining a sense of distance, which was normal in itself. But after what happened in Zhou, well...

That was indeed quite tragic.

To be honest, Shinji Kitahara really didn't want to have anything to do with her, not even the slightest bit.

But seeing her being persecuted like this, and with part of the reason for the persecution stemming from him, he felt somewhat remorseful.

However, it wasn't just that he couldn't bear it; Shinji Kitahara was also a little worried that if she continued like this, she might have a mental breakdown or turn to the dark side one day, leading to some unpleasant developments.

For example, naginata, naginata, or naginata.

Although the eclipse should make it relatively easy for her to be suppressed, there are still risks involved.

Besides, he sold Special Week to Ms. Cao out of self-preservation, so he would feel somewhat guilty if he didn't do something about it.

After careful consideration, Shinji Kitahara sighed and finally decided to help her out and give her another chance.

"Miss Grasshopper, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

He talked about the final battle outfit and 'inadvertently' mentioned that he would also be going during the special week.

Hearing Shinji Kitahara's words, her eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed, thanking him for his help.

After two weeks of getting to know each other, others might not have noticed, but Kusakabe had already vaguely realized Kitahara Shinji's help to her by the end of the second week, and now it was almost explicit.

Moreover, like Special Week, she plans to participate in the debut battle in the second half of this year and then officially participate in the competition next year. She does need a final outfit right now, so there is even less reason for her to refuse Shinji Kitahara's invitation.

Seeing her like this, Shinji Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although she seems a bit upset, she is at least mentally stable for now.

I hope you can seize this opportunity; this is all the help I can give you.

After talking with Ms. Kusa, Shinji Kitahara went to see Oguri Hat and Special Week. After confirming that they both had time to go, the four spots were filled, and there was even one more, Eclipse, which was his bound equipment.

However, shortly after he finalized his choice, when he returned to his dormitory, took a shower, and picked up his phone again, he saw a message from his elderly mother.

She said that two of the three outfits she ordered had already been made, and asked him to bring Donghai Diwang and Alice Suzi with him when he went this Saturday to check them out.

Kitahara Shinji: "..."

Was this done on purpose? This person definitely did it on purpose!

I first agreed to bring four people, asking him to bring the remaining three and Eclipse along. Then, the day before his departure, after thinking he had already decided on the candidates, I sent him another message, asking him to bring the two of them as well.

The intention couldn't be clearer.

But the problem is that Shinji Kitahara can't understand what she's trying to achieve by doing this.

It's just weird.

Moreover, he remembered that the design and production cycle of the final outfit was quite long, especially for this kind of custom-made one. It was usually good if one could be produced in half a month. How did she manage to produce two in less than a week?

Although he had known the elderly woman for a long time and could sense that she seemed to have a high level of skill in fashion design, he didn't really know just how high, and she had never said anything about it.

Even the idea of ​​making the final outfit wasn't something she told him on her own initiative. It happened during a casual chat when Shinji Kitahara was thinking about how Eclipse might become a horse racer in the future, and they started talking about the final outfit.

Then the elderly horse lady said that he didn't need to worry about it and that he could just come to her when the time came. It was only then that Kitahara Shinji learned that she could make the final outfit.

Moreover, the mysteries surrounding the elderly horse girl extend beyond the quality of her costumes. There's the obviously expensive pipe, the occasional glimpses of her past in her conversations, and the disdainful attitude she displays when discussing the various horse girl families...

Shinji Kitahara could see through all this, but since the elderly horse lady didn't want to talk about it, he was too lazy to ask, just as the elderly horse lady was too lazy to ask him about the strange trainer ability he possessed, and what had happened to him that year.

But this doesn't mean their relationship was distant. On the contrary, the elderly Ma Niang was one of only two elders he could trust.
