I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

Alas... it's such a pity that such a model young man is about to enter the den of evil. What a shame!

Shibasaki shook his head and temporarily stopped paying attention to Orn's situation, focusing instead on answering the students' questions.

By the sixth lap, the newly radiant runner already had foam appearing at the corners of his mouth.

She ran towards Orn in a bizarre, zombie-like gait, her breathing sounding like a broken bellows, making the surrounding classmates hesitate about whether to call the hospital.

"Huff... Hah... Huff..."

"My benefactor, I...I really can't go on anymore, can I rest for a while now?!"

Ornn clapped and smiled, "Impressive, glorious, but rest... might not be an option yet!"

Shining Radiance rolled her eyes, staggered over to Ornn, bent over and clutched her knees, saying, "Still...still not good? I'm about to die!"

Orn ignored her complaints, squatted down, and then took out the iron hammer from behind his back, smashing it down on the chestnut-haired horse girl's knee!

"Eek!!!! I'm going to kill you........ Huh? Why doesn't it hurt?"

The newly radiant light howled the moment it was struck by the hammer, but the terrifying attack did not cause it any damage.

On the contrary, a warm sensation emanated from the hammer, and her knees seemed to become more flexible and stronger under its warm embrace. The comfortable feeling in her feet made her groan involuntarily.

"Ugh~~~~ Hmm!! Haa!"

Hearing the groan, Orn, who was crouching on the ground, slightly raised his head and looked at the newly radiant figure, whose face was flushed with embarrassment.

Although he didn't speak, his eyes conveyed his confusion.

"Oh dear!! My benefactor! Forget about it, forget about it!! I'm so embarrassed!!"

Shining Radiance covered her face with her hands, and it seemed as if steam was rising from her head.

After tapping his right leg, Ornn quickly tapped his left leg as well.

This time, prepared, the newly radiant woman bit her lower lip tightly, managing not to cry out in shame.

Putting away the hammer, Ornn slapped her on the back and said, "Alright, even if you scream, I won't hold back. Hurry up! Run six more laps!"

"Look at that guy in the chestnut hat! He's done more laps than you, he's almost catching up! Keep running!!"

Shining Bright rubbed his back and muttered, "Damn it, that cold-blooded benefactor, that perverted training assistant, that bastard who bullies pretty girls..."

Ornn raised an eyebrow and roared, "I heard you! If you want to get on the field, you'd better run!!"

"Okay, okay!! I'll run away, alright?!"

Chestnut Hair muttered to himself as he wobbled forward.

After she left, Lu Mao followed closely behind and came to Orn's side.

"Oh? You finished eight laps so quickly? Actually, you don't need to run so fast. You need to manage your energy properly so you can keep going..."

Before Ornn could finish speaking, Little Chestnut Hat, panting, interrupted him, "Mr. Ornn... huff... I want the one you just made for Glorious too."

Having said that, she looked at Orn with her ears turned forward in a strange posture, and kept making humming sounds from her nose.

This scene reminded Orn of a phenomenon unique to horse girls that was recorded in all the family books among the large pile of materials Satomi Kawatsuru had sent him.

That is—exclusivity.

Chapter 21: Secret Manuals of Various Families Compiled by the "Trainers"

Horses are very sensitive creatures; compared to humans, their sense of touch is much more acute.

In terms of sensory experience, they also respond to emotions more frequently. They can't help but eat when they see something delicious, they can't help but look closely at something interesting, and they can't help but get closer to someone they like.

The fusion of these emotions is a terrifying phenomenon called "possessiveness"!

No matter what kind of temperament the horse girl has, she cannot escape the bondage of this feeling. The three goddesses bestowed upon the horse girls the speed they are proud of, but at the same time, they also tethered them to the spot by the reins called "emotion".

The terrifying phenomenon known as "Dominance" is also recorded in books such as "Ancient Era," "Mejiro Family Trainer Training Code," "Symbolic Family External Trainer Tutorial," and "Satomi Family Trainer Onboarding Training."

Orn clearly remembered that the treatment of "possessive power" was completely different in these books.

The Mejiro family's approach is to combine exercise and food in a reasonable way, while diverting the attention of the horse girls they are raising, in order to control the horses' physical and mental well-being.

The author recorded in her neat notebook: "Dominance can greatly improve the physical fitness, mood and training efficiency of horse girls. Maintaining the dominance of the horse girls being bred is one of the standards for judging whether a trainer is qualified."

"Horse girls with exclusive power will find it easier to achieve a state of 'oneness' with their trainers, which is a special skill that is hard to come by."

The Symbolist family's approach differs from the Mejiro family's; they believe that possessiveness can improve the compatibility between the horse girl and the trainer.

Therefore, when a female horse exhibits a dominant personality trait, the symbol owner tends to encourage her to participate in more races. The joy and excitement of winning a crown will focus the female horse's attention on the races, and the dominant personality trait will become a powerful tool to help her gallop on the track.

With a little guidance from the trainer, things will move in the direction of family reunion!

The author also recorded in gentle yet sharp notes: "The emergence of possessiveness precisely shows that the horse girl has entered the state. Maintaining this emotion will make training twice as effective and bring more glory and brilliance!"

"Fear not! Embrace your burning emotions with open hearts! Under that light, you will seize the supreme crown!"

As for the Satomi and Eri families? Their approaches differed, but generally speaking, they all actively guided their members to train while maintaining their individuality.

Only the Satomi family avoids discussing the topic of "possessive power," seemingly because they lack any experience in this area.

Perhaps it is true, as Satomi Kazutsugu said, that they simply do not have the necessary experience in this area.

Recalling the "I'm rich" expression on the face of the dark green-clad uncle, Ornn stroked his chin. It seemed that this state called [Exclusivity] was probably similar to a skill in the game that provides a positive buff.

It can enhance the horse girl's fighting spirit and training efficiency, and at the same time improve the horse girl's willpower and mental strength. It's really amazing... Is this also the result of the blessing of the three goddesses?

Looking into Little Chestnut's light blue eyes, he smiled and replied, "Hehe, Little Chestnut, don't worry, I will do the same thing to you as I did to Glorious. If it hurts, remember to tell me. Your body is a little different from Glorious's, and I'm afraid I won't be able to control the force well."

As he spoke, Orn squatted down and began tapping Little Chestnut Hat's soft knees with his hammer.

"Ugh—~~~~"

When the hammer first lightly touched her knee, Oguri felt a soft, itchy sensation that made her bones feel weak. She tried to suppress the feeling.

But once she opened her mouth, her steady tone could no longer be controlled and began to fluctuate.

Orn quickly asked, "How are you? Does it hurt a lot?"

Oguri shook her head. Although she tried to keep her expression calm, her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her shyness.

Seeing the girl in front of him nod, Orn then began to gently pound her knees.

This method was invented on a whim. After considering the horse girl as a piece of metal with impurities, Orn could try to remove the impurities using the hammer in his hand.

Of course, calling it "removal" is more like smoothing out imperfections on these automatically heating metals.

After running, the horse girls' bodies are in a highly activated state. At this time, Ornn's hammer can better help relieve the pressure on their legs, especially around the knees.

At the same time, under the hammer's forging, the strength and toughness of their muscles will increase, and the hardness of their bones will also increase accordingly.

To Orn, this process was somewhat like hammering a red-hot metal block; under his hammering, the impurities were slowly removed, revealing the true nature of this rough gem.

After carefully massaging the girl's knees, Orn stood up and said, "Alright, Little Chestnut Hat, you can finish the remaining eight laps."

"After this is over, I'll come back and give you and Guanghui another beating!"

The girl with the goat feathers smiled and nodded, then turned and ran towards the playground, as if the strange state she had just experienced was just Orn's imagination.

"Was that your family's method for training horse girls?"

Shortly after Oguri Hat returned to the track, Shibasaki walked over to Orn.

He had just witnessed the other person's peculiar massage technique, and at the same time, he also noticed the strange phenomenon that momentarily appeared on Oguri's body.

Shibasaki was torn. The young man before him had so quickly awakened a horse girl's "Possession" ability; this speed truly startled him. However, it also proved that the young man was indeed a genius trainer.

However, he didn't want this young man to be bound by those terrible emotions so early. Having witnessed countless tragedies and experienced countless battles over the years, the forty-four-year-old Shibasaki decided to make a decision.

He wanted to persuade the young man in front of him to leave Treson as soon as possible and never set foot in any business related to horse girls again!

Because he was the senior of this young man, he had to do it!

With this thought in mind, Shibasaki approached Orn and coughed lightly before asking, "Um, Orn, when that guy with the goose hair came up to you just now, did you sense any change in him?"

"Although the change was very brief, so brief that she herself may not have even noticed it."

Orn was startled upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that his senior would have such sharp eyes, able to detect that Little Chestnut Hat had entered the Dominance state from such a distance.

So he honestly replied, "Yes, just as you said, I did feel her aura just now."

"This seems to be...exclusivity?"

Shibasaki's eyes lit up. Since the young man in front of him knew about monopolistic power, things would be much easier from here on out.

He asked expectantly, "Since you understand the concept of monopoly, you should know how to deal with it, right?"

"Of course, of course I know what to do."

Orn replied with a smile, "Of course, we'll keep her in this state while directing her attention to the game and food, and using vigorous exercise to expend her energy. This state will naturally resolve itself after three years."

"Then I'll raise the next batch of horses... Hmm? Senior, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chapter 22 My Sudden Relief Smile

Shibasaki's eyes were wide with terror, his eyes were bulging like copper bells, and his mouth was half open, as if he had seen a walking corpse!

Is the corpse talking?

Haha, I must be hallucinating. My hardworking slave actually wants to become a trainer, and even my junior?!

He clenched his fist, as if he wanted to use his fist to wake up the idiot in front of him who was wearing an innocent smile!

Shibasaki roared, "You!! You know that's exclusive power! Why did you do such a thing?! Are you out of your mind?!"

Aoun was a little dizzy from the sudden roar. He asked in confusion, "Why not? Isn't monopolistic power beneficial to the horse girl's physical fitness and fighting spirit?"

"you you!!"

Shibasaki pointed a finger at the dumb-looking young man in front of him and roared, "Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?! If we let Ma Musume continue to be in a monopolistic position, the consequences will be unimaginable!!"

Orn was even more puzzled. He spread his hands, making a bear-like face, and said innocently, "But that's what it says in all those documents. It can't be that all those documents are wrong, right?"

"You followed the tutorial?! What kind of unscrupulous manufacturer would produce such a book that harms young people?!"

Shibasaki was even more furious. He never expected that the young man in front of him would be deceived by such terrible teaching materials!

Isn't he a trainer trained by some racing family?! How could he make such a basic mistake?! Who taught him all this?!

But suddenly, the logical inconsistency made the angry Shibasaki realize a blind spot.

Wait a minute... if this knowledge is really something this young man's family wants him to know, then could it be... that this is intentional?!

Shibasaki's fiery anger was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water. He calmly asked, "Wait a minute, you said you read it in a book. Let me ask you first, what's the name of the book you read?"

Orn thought for a moment and casually replied, "Well, many of the books I've read have very similar titles. The first half of most of the notes uses the family name, and the rest is basically all titled 'Trainer Training Manual'."

"The surnames I remember now include [Mejiro], [Symbolic], [Airi], and..."

Upon hearing these prestigious names, Shibasaki's pupils contracted, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "No! No! You... please stop talking!"

Oh! I see!

No wonder this young man has such views; no wonder he acts like a complete novice!

So he was a sacrificial offering!

Shibasaki suddenly smiled with relief; all his previous confusion and bewilderment had vanished!

Are you kidding me?! This young man has access to so many training materials from prestigious families, just who is he?!

If I accidentally disrupt the plans of those bigwigs... haha, how can a mere commoner like me withstand the attack of these despicable conglomerates!?

In a flash, his responsibilities and obligations as a senior were instantly forgotten, and the first law of the universe appeared in his mind.

'Survival is the first necessity for the continuation of life.'

Since that's the case, young man, then don't blame me!

He coughed, then straightened his collar and said to Orn, "Orn, as your senior, I want to tell you that possessiveness is indeed a very good training aid, but at the same time, you must remember that the emotions of horse girls are not just as simple as possessiveness."

"You must understand, the girls we're training are in their prime; their values ​​are still developing, and as trainers, we should focus on nurturing them..."

Shibasaki's ramblings went further and further, from shaping the inner world of horse girls to the future of horse racing, from the Tokai Derby to the Emperor's Shot, but he never mentioned the "possessive power" or the consequences of indulging in it again.

After he finished speaking, he patted Orn on the shoulder and smiled, "Young man, I have high hopes for you!"

"Just go for it! You'll definitely become the brightest star in the world of Japanese horse racing!"

After saying that, he turned and left, as if he had made up his mind, without looking back.

After Shibasaki left, Orn's tense heart calmed down.

He initially thought he had made a mistake in the training. As a veteran trainer in the region, Shibasaki's judgment was definitely far superior to that of a newcomer like himself. So, when Shibasaki first questioned him with great emotion, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
