I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Having come this far, Shinji Kitahara had no room for excuses and could only tell the chairman, with a look of distress, what had just happened.

"Understood! Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and get some rest. I will let you know when there is any progress."

After saying that, Kitahara Shinji was escorted out by Akikawa Yayoi.

The group of people who had escorted him here started apologizing to him. Although he felt it was a pity that he hadn't been misunderstood, he still waved his hand and said that they had done nothing wrong, since he was indeed a prime suspect in that situation.

After spending some time separating from that group of people, and just as he was about to go home, Shinji Kitahara felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

He took it out and saw that a trainer wanted to hold a welcome party at a nearby izakaya and invited him to attend.

As an expert at "playing dumb," Shinji Kitahara knows that to do it well, you need the help and cooperation of your colleagues, so he definitely has to go to this welcome party.

I opened my phone and followed the navigation to the agreed location. There were already many trainers inside, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

After he entered, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. Many trainers who hadn't been able to meet him during the day now rushed to him, eager to see this living urban legend for themselves.

Others, having heard that the Emperor of the East Sea had chosen him, wanted to see what he looked like and what made him so special that the Emperor of the East Sea had picked him out.

In short, after a lively exchange, he became acquainted with the trainers present and thus began to integrate into Treson's work environment.

"Sigh, you newbies should cherish this time. Once you have responsibilities, you won't have such a leisurely time anymore," a veteran trainer couldn't help but say.

"Huh? Why?"

A new trainer looked somewhat puzzled: "I don't see that the school regulations stipulate many working hours, and there are quite a few holidays, so there should be plenty of time to relax, right?"

"Plenty of time to relax? Heh."

Upon hearing his words, the veteran trainers present all sneered.

"School requirements? If school requirements were effective, Treson wouldn't have trainers ending up in the hospital every year."

"To put it simply, if you take responsibility, you'll definitely want her to win the game, right? And to win, you have to practice more and put in more effort than others."

"In this situation, if you see other teams' coaches and trainers putting in extra training on their days off, can you really just relax and sleep in at home?"

"And this is just a competition. If your partner is clingy or suspicious, it will be even more troublesome. In addition to preparing for the competition, you will also have to find ways to deal with her. It's not just troublesome."

"Finally, if, and I mean if, you fail to maintain a proper distance from your responsibilities and something really happens, then you'll be in even worse shape—marriage is the grave of a man's freedom, and that's no exaggeration."

The veteran trainers were complaining when they suddenly remembered something and turned their gazes toward Shinji Kitahara, their expressions a mixture of pity and schadenfreude.

"But speaking of which, although you are all newcomers, it seems that two of you will not have the chance to enjoy this last bit of freedom."

"Trainer Kitahara, and Trainer Dongsen, right?"

Needless to say, Shinji Kitahara...

Although the formation of the team has not been made public, everyone knows that he has two people in charge.

In the eyes of the veteran trainers, he had already stepped one foot into Treson's dark side.

Furthermore, since Eclipse was still his childhood sweetheart in their eyes, they wouldn't be surprised if she jumped into the hospital the next day.

As for the trainer Dongsen, whose full name is Dongsen Youjie, he was the top trainer to enter Treson this time, and his theoretical score was a perfect score that has not been seen for many years.

However, what doesn't quite match his status as the number one student is that he doesn't have any arrogance. Instead, he is rather shy, has a rather thin build, and wears thick glasses. He looks exactly like an honest, small-town student taking exams.

After hearing his seniors' jokes, Shinji Kitahara didn't refute them. He simply slumped into his chair, looking like he was ready to give up and that what they said wouldn't affect him.

But Yosuke Higashimori was different. After a moment of silence, he blushed and retorted in a low voice.

"Um, seniors, I'm already engaged to my girlfriend, so please stop making jokes like that..."

"You're engaged to your girlfriend?"

All the trainers present, including Shinji Kitahara, twitched their eyelids and their expressions gradually became subtle when they heard him say this.

"Silly kid, listen to my advice. Either break off contact with that girlfriend right now, or quit your job immediately. In Treson, trainers with girlfriends usually end up... in pretty bad shape."

An experienced trainer couldn't help but advise him.

But Yosuke Higashimori firmly shook his head.

“It’s okay. I told my supervisor about my situation before signing the contract. She’s a very sensible girl, and I will be careful to keep my distance from her.”

After a pause, he added.

"And I don't plan to work here for too long. Once I've earned enough money to get married, I'm going to go back and marry her. I might not even stay for three years before leaving early."

"At that time, I may have to ask one of you here to take care of the child I'm in charge of."

Yosuke Higashimori spoke sincerely.

Regardless of how others reacted to his words, Shinji Kitahara, who had been feigning death, couldn't help but open his eyes, his gaze filled with pity.

Dude, the way you've set this goal is so high, it wouldn't be surprising if you got stuffed into a basement and jumped to your death the day after you left home.

and......

"Trainer Dongsen, judging from your tone, it seems like this isn't your first time being a trainer?" Shinji Kitahara asked.

Yosuke Higashimori paused for a moment, then nodded: "I used to work in a local government office, but I resigned for some personal reasons."

Shinji Kitahara nodded, then lay back down and continued to slack off.

After that, as time passed and the night deepened, the welcome party came to an end.

The senior staff members generously refrained from splitting the bill and instead treated everyone to a meal. After saying goodbye to each other, Shinji Kitahara left the izakaya and followed the navigation to his assigned staff dormitory.

I took out the key, opened the door and went inside. The space inside was quite large; it was more like an apartment than a dormitory. It was fully equipped with all kinds of living necessities, and even had a computer.

It's alright. He had been worried before that if there was nothing in the dorm at this late hour, where would he buy daily necessities? It seems that the Tresson school is much more reliable than he thought.

After familiarizing himself with the layout, he took off his clothes, took a shower, sat down at the computer, and took out his notes from his bag.

Despite what happened today, he didn't forget his promise to create a training plan for Special Week and Oguri Hat.

The night is long.

Accompanied by the soft scratching of the pen tip on the paper, all things peacefully fall asleep.

Chapter 10: Just Set it up and that's it.

The next day, in the morning.

After teaching the training plan to Special Week and Oguri Hat, Shinji Kitahara got down to business.

Following the typical relationship between trainers and horse girls, after formulating the training plan, his next step should be to follow up on the plan.

On the one hand, it is to urge the female horses to train according to the plan and not to be lazy or blindly add extra training on their own. On the other hand, it is also to further improve the training plan based on the actual training situation.

But Shinji Kitahara did not.

After submitting the plan, he slumped down, exuding a strong aura of laziness.

Supervise their training? Putting aside the fact that Special Week and Oguri Hat aren't his responsibility, even if they were, he wouldn't actively join in unless they asked.

Improve the training plan? There's no need for that. It might be due to the system's interference, or something else entirely, but his ability as a racehorse trainer is almost abnormally strong.

He could even guarantee that even without making any changes, as long as these two train strictly according to the plan he devised, when they debut, apart from a very few particularly famous horse girls who might pose some threat, the other horse girls wouldn't even have the right to compete with them.

Of course, if Special Zhou and Little Chestnut Hat take the initiative to ask him for help, he will still do his part, but as of now, they don't seem to be interested in that.

As for his two assistants, they are even more unrestrained than the other. Even if he were to offer to help, he would probably be kicked away.

But...isn't this perfect?

Standing by the training field, he took out his phone, and a genuine smile gradually appeared on his face.

Although a bunch of messy things happened yesterday, and even a team was formed by accident, the situation is still under control, and even better than before.

He didn't need to manage the two people in charge, especially Zhou and Xiaoli Mao, who were more obedient to him because of what happened a few years ago.

In other words, even though he has a team under his name, he not only doesn't have to do anything, but he can also use this to refuse other horse girls' recruitment and legitimately slack off.

So cool.

He took out his phone, pretending to supervise the training of the East Sea Emperor. He watched some of the videos he hadn't finished watching yesterday, and then opened a forum interface—the exclusive forum inside Treson School.

Ever since he got this website address from another trainer yesterday, he has been wanting to check it out, but various things have kept him from doing so until now.

He clicked on the link, registered, and filled in all the information. Then, looking at the username field, he thought for a moment and chose to register with his real name.

After all, it's an internal school forum, and the veteran trainers have said that anonymity on this platform isn't reliable, so it's better to just use your real name to avoid making any embarrassing comments out of wishful thinking that might explode someday.

As for what to do if he wants to make some comments that he's embarrassed to make under his real name someday... can't he just create a secondary account?

After registering and logging in, I clicked on the page, and various posts gradually loaded.

The first column is, of course, the forum rules, followed by Treson's school rules and student code of conduct, all of which are pinned to the top.

Below the pinned post are some popular posts, the most popular of which is one titled "Warning! A peeping tom has been spotted near the Holy Land warehouse," which has thousands of replies.

Clicking in, sure enough, it was the aftermath of what happened to him last night. The post described the incident in great detail, but his name was omitted.

As he scrolled down, he intended to see what other replies were available, but instead stumbled upon some interesting information.

"Holy Land Warehouse" is the nickname the horse girls gave to that abandoned warehouse.

The exact origin of this nickname is unknown, but it is said that if a horse girl and her trainer can spend half a day together inside, there is a high probability that they will end up together.

Anyone who has spent time in Tresson, including horse girls and trainers, is generally aware of this rumor, so inviting someone to that abandoned warehouse is basically equivalent to confessing one's feelings.

Sometimes, because so many people want to go, such as around Valentine's Day, you need to make a reservation in advance to avoid time conflicts.

Having understood why strange noises kept coming from that warehouse, Shinji Kitahara took out a map and drew a big red X on the abandoned warehouse.

Yes, it's a dangerous area. We need to stay away from it in the future, and we absolutely must not bring Ma Niang there, nor accept any other people's invitations.

He closed the map, exited the thread, and continued browsing.

Perhaps because it was a public forum, the content on the Treson campus forum wasn't as bad as he had initially expected.

Most of the discussions were serious about racehorse girls, such as tips on tail care, the pros and cons of various earmuff brands, and minor issues related to training and racing.

But gradually, as he scrolled down, the style of the forum posts began to look strange.

What should a trainer do if their family is pressuring them to go on blind dates? Should they intercept them halfway or just go with them?

Does anyone know where I can find a house with a basement for rent? I need it urgently!

"Love is Darby, teaching you how to win every battle in the battlefield of love!"

Looking at these headlines, Shinji Kitahara fell into deep doubt.

Is Treson really a horse racing academy, or some kind of marriage venue?

Moreover, it's not just Ma Niang asking questions; many trainers on the forum are also inquiring about various matters.

'Leg and foot massage care methods'

Looking for places to relax and unwind with my partner during holidays.

'It's said that giving someone clothes you've worn can keep you in a great mood. What's the principle behind that?'

Looking at these silly trainers' posts, Shinji Kitahara couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, no wonder some horse girls couldn't resist. You bunch of idiots would be doing a disservice if you didn't get forced to jump over the top for all the stupid things you've done.

And that's not even the dumbest part. There are several other posts below, such as "How to run away with a bucket without being discovered by the person in charge", "The person in charge seems to not know I have a fiancée, how to remind them?" and "My family is forcing me to go on blind dates, and the person in charge had a strange expression after I told them". But after the original poster made the first post, there was basically no follow-up.

Well, brave warrior, may you rest in peace.

As he browsed the posts of those silly trainers, trying to deduce and figure out how to keep his distance, a new post suddenly popped up.

Moreover, within a minute of its appearance, it garnered dozens of replies and immediately became a trending topic.

'Shocking! The Emperor of the East Sea actually chose a newly recruited trainer!'

Kitahara Shinji: "..."

Seriously, do you guys have nothing better to do? Why are you so concerned about which trainer someone else found?

Although he thought this to himself, he also understood that as a highly regarded genius in the academy, the Emperor of the East Sea would definitely receive all sorts of attention.

Especially since she chose him, a trainer who at least on the resume seems to be practically useless, the huge discrepancy is bound to cause discussion, or even arguments.

Clicking through, you'll find some of his photos and information, but it's all information that can only be found on the school's official website.

The replies below were mostly filled with shock and regret, expressing confusion as to why the Emperor of the East Sea would do such a thing.

Others speculated whether he had some special relationship with the Emperor of the East Sea, or whether he possessed some special talents that had not yet been discovered.

However, overall, most people are not optimistic about him. Among the hundreds of replies, only a handful did not explicitly express their skepticism.

Interestingly, unlike other posts, no trainer accounts commented on this post from beginning to end.
