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

Within the trainers' inner circle, a faction led by extremists such as Sato, Rokuhei Ginjiro, Kiryuin Aoi, Riko Hon, and Orn believes that...

It was precisely because Trainer Okino was so unkempt and failed to correct many of her bad habits in time that she passed these bad habits on to Golden Ship, ultimately leading to her current state.

The faction led by Nanban, Komiyama Komi, Nase Fumino, Tojo Hana, Master Buntai, Sakai Miki, and other members of the Bakugai faction believes that the extremists are not extreme enough.

Rigil's founder and legendary trainer, Hana Tojo, who has a secret past with trainer Okino, bluntly stated that Okino bears at least 80% of the responsibility for the current state of the Golden Ship, and should commit seppuku on the spot.

If Okino doesn't mind, she's willing to be his second.

The same applies to Team Dolan. Due to Ornn's undeniable leadership during training, the four horse girls in Team Dolan were all influenced by him to varying degrees.

The newly emerged radiance was the most deeply affected; following Ornn's side, she learned the bad habits instead of the good ones...

Now, Ornn is about to taste the bitter fruit of this.

"Right? The trainers work themselves to the bone to help you acquire skills, so you can't slack off! Otherwise, how will you repay my sincere efforts?"

Unaware of anything amiss, Ornn continued his impassioned speech, his gaze sweeping over the members of Dolan's team with deep affection, and they returned his gaze with the same deep affection.

But there is one exception: Shining Radiance!

She stood up and said in a loud voice, "My benefactor, you're mistaken!"

"We learn skills out of our duty, not because we're obligated to! Because we never asked you, our benefactor, to sell your...body (referring to coming up with lame jokes) in exchange for skills!"

"So, this skill is something we can learn if we want, and not learn if we don't."

"Hmph~~ I figured out this logic myself, aren't I amazing?!"

Having said that, the newly radiant figure put his hands on his hips and looked at Ornn with great pride, as if to say: Come and praise me.

One minute later, the newly radiant woman was still hanging from the coconut tree in the same position, her mouth taped shut.

Orn's face was as red as a tomato, and he looked very hot.

He lightly brushed the dust off his hands, then turned to the remaining three and said, "Although the skill 'Speed ​​Star' is basically public knowledge, not every top-tier horse girl learns it. Do you know why?"

Mr. Orn turned his gaze to Little Chestnut Hat, but could only see his own reflection in Hat's innocent eyes.

He then turned his gaze to the Fujimasa March, but was met with the reply, "Why...why are you looking at me? If I knew why, I would have said so already!"

In the end, he gave a wry smile and could only turn his gaze to the theoretically knowledgeable young lady, Megumi.

Fortunately, Aldan did not disappoint him. After a moment of contemplation, she replied, "I think... it's because of time?"

“The time available for horse trainees to learn skills is very limited. Many people may only master two or three skills a year, and there are even cases where the skills they have mastered cannot be used.”

"You're right! Of course, this answer isn't entirely correct."

Orn continued, "Besides the limited time, and the extremely high and low learning speed of horse girls, most trainers will only have their assigned trainer learn the prerequisite skill for [Speed ​​Star], [Prepare to Break Out],"

"So when you participate in G1 level races, almost all the horses that use a front-running style will use the skill 'Prepare to break away',"

He took out his phone, opened the data he had previously investigated, and continued, "Based on my discussions with Chairman Rudolf and other senior trainers, G1-level racehorses learn an average of more than 5 skills, while G2-level racehorses learn an average of more than 3 skills."

"The girls competing against Tong Tai aren't just upperclassmen and seniors from the high school, but also some exceptionally talented juniors from the middle school,"

"In the short term, we certainly won't be able to catch up with the opponent in terms of the number of skills,"

"Therefore, we need to do better in terms of the quality of our skills!"

Ornn clasped his hands together, picked up the hammer from his waist, and gently tapped it on the training boots of the four members of Dolan's team.

The boots he struck appeared to show different color variations, transforming into four distinct colors.

"I will personalize your shoes to enhance your understanding of the [Speed ​​Star] skill, and try my best to learn it successfully before the summer training camp ends!"

Chapter 204 Our Dolan Squad's training plan is really something else!

Located on the fifth floor of the hotel, outside the hot spring therapy room.

Sato looked at the bag in Orn's hand with suspicion and asked, "Is there really a miracle cure in here that can restore Chiyo-oh?"

"You've got it, Sato, don't you believe me?"

Orn reached for a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, crossed his legs, and said casually, "Tsk tsk tsk, you and I are trainers from the same year, yet you're so wary of me. It really hurts my feelings."

Sato rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and said suspiciously, "If you hadn't been so secretive, I would definitely have believed you."

"When I asked you specifically what method you would use to treat Chiyo-oh, you kept talking about some exclusive formula, without even telling me what medicine or method you were using. How can I trust you?"

Lying on the sofa, Orn smacked his lips and said with a rather provocative smile, "Let me tell you, it's not that I look down on you, Sato, but even if I told you, would you understand?"

"I...of course I can hear you..."

When Sato was mocked like this, his instinct was to reply that of course he understood, and who did they think he was looking down on!

But then she suddenly remembered the steel-plated boots that Dolan's team wore during training, which defied basic common sense, and her confidence vanished instantly.

Orn pressed his advantage, saying, "Since you can't understand anyway, I might as well not say anything at all—it'll save me the trouble of using my brain cells."

"Just watch and see. If I didn't have the absolute confidence to cure Chiyo-oh, why would I have offered to help? Don't you think so?"

After struggling for a long time, Sato could only sigh helplessly in the end.

She walked to the fence and leaned against the wall, asking, "Orn, what did you do before you became a trainer?"

"I always feel... that you seem to know a lot about some unorthodox things. Could it be that you were a hermit who lived in seclusion in some temple before?"

"If you say so, then it must be so~"

Orn whistled, neither answering directly nor denying her guess.

Sato sighed again. The trainer in front of him, who should have been a fellow rookie trainer, was far more capable than him.

This is reflected not only in the trainers' knowledge reserves, but also in their ability to adapt to changing circumstances when handling other matters.

The young man was decent-looking; not exactly handsome, but he looked clean and tidy.

Although his words can be somewhat irritating, he knows how to maintain a proper balance and avoids making excessive jokes.

I don't know what his family's financial situation is. If possible, it wouldn't be bad to have a more in-depth conversation with him.

Well... the premise is that he actually has to be able to cure Chiyo. If he's just a charlatan... I'll report him immediately!!

Sato's mind wandered, and she couldn't help but become interested in this young man who had been promoted from the local level to the central government.

With about ten minutes left before Chiyo's convalescence was to end, the two seemed to have run out of things to talk about and fell into an awkward silence.

Sato turned his head to look down. Standing on the fifth-floor balcony, he could overlook the entire training beach.

Most of the teams that chose to train outdoors did so because their trainers couldn't get indoor training equipment or were in a queue, leaving them with no choice but to train on the beach.

Furthermore, due to the inability to use advanced indoor fitness equipment, the outdoor horse girls can only use some basic facilities for very basic training.

For example, common exercises like weighted duck walks, weighted running, pull-ups, and weightlifting.

Trainers have had several arguments over training equipment, which have sometimes escalated into fights.

Sato only recently learned that the real reason Komiyama Komi returned to the hotel last time wasn't to observe Dolan's team's training methods, but rather to resolve a dispute.

More accurately, they came to smooth things over.

It is said that a veteran trainer who had trained three cohorts of students clashed with a new trainer from the same cohort as Sato Oren.

The senior trainers, relying on their experience, bullied the newcomers who were unfamiliar with the job, hogging the equipment and preventing them from using it.

No matter how much they tried to persuade her, even the trainers around her, the old woman wouldn't budge; even her female horses chimed in.

The newcomer seemed to have overseas study experience, but hadn't spent much time in Japan and didn't understand Japanese corporate culture.

After negotiations failed, he didn't tolerate the other party's behavior and grabbed a dumbbell from the side, smashing it over their shoulder. His henchmen, Ma Niang, joined in, and the fight escalated into a brawl.

Komiyama Fumi, being a senior trainer who had won multiple G1 races with Madoka Magica, naturally took on the responsibility of mediating disputes.

As for the final result...

The veteran trainer was fined three months' salary, receiving a serious warning. His eligibility for this year's outstanding trainer evaluation was revoked, his senior trainer certificate was temporarily suspended, and his assigned horses were suspended from racing for two months.

The rookie trainer received a severe warning and was disqualified from this year's outstanding trainer evaluation. His female trainers were also suspended from racing for two months. It was a result where both sides were equally punished.

The veteran trainer believed that her high reputation and seniority entitled her to special privileges, while the new trainer, adhering to the "who the hell are you?" mentality, completely ignored her.

The relationship between the two remained extremely bad, and when they met, they basically just exchanged insults.

After the newcomer caused this incident, the relationships between the trainers became somewhat tense, and some trainers with questionable conduct toned down their behavior a little.

But the uneasy atmosphere still lingered over the playground, and the female horses began to band together and show hostility towards each other.

The only groups unaffected were those who hadn't used the hotel's fitness equipment in the first place, such as Komiyama-senpai, Sato himself, and... the Doran team who were having a blast playing in the water over there.

Sato raised an eyebrow and said, "Speaking of which... Orn, are you really not going to keep an eye on your team's training? Aren't you afraid something might happen to them during training?"

"If I remember correctly, that blue-and-white-haired girl is Megaku Ardan from the Megaku family, right? You're just letting them continue wading in the water... I mean, training?"

Orn took a sip of ice-cold water and asked in a strange tone, "Why are you watching? Shouldn't the horse girls be free to hop around in some corner during training? Why are you squatting next to them and watching?"

Sato touched her ears in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard.

"What are you talking about? Shouldn't trainers stay by their assigned roles?"

Sato said with some excitement, "Not only do we have to stay here, but we also have to keep a close eye on her! Ma Niang's legs are very fragile, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a major crisis!"

"As a trainer, you not only need to be prepared for the time limit, but also have good psychological management skills, and you also need to balance the team and not show favoritism to anyone..."

"There are so many things to do!! How come it comes out of your mouth as 'just leave it there and ignore it'?!"

Orn's expression was somewhat strange; he looked at Sato as if he were an idiot, causing Sato to clench his fists involuntarily.

He stood up, walked to the fence, pointed to the Dolan squad training below, and said, "You see, they can still train even when I'm not around, right?"

Sato, who was about to retort, was momentarily speechless. After a long pause, she finally retorted, "Yes! I know! They are indeed training according to your plan, but what if they get injured? What if they don't receive timely treatment..."

Orn turned around and looked at Sato with that look he gave an idiot.

"So, did they get injured during training?"

Sato was speechless again. Her lips trembled for a long time before she finally managed to utter a few words: "But...but how can you know if they're pushing themselves? Many times, even the trainees don't realize they're running out of energy. If they keep pushing themselves to train, it'll cause serious problems!!"

"At best, it's a muscle strain; at worst, it could be a fracture or shock! How could you...?"

Orn interrupted again, "Then think about it, when I wasn't there the day before yesterday, did they get any rest?"

"Of course they are...!!"

Sato stopped mid-sentence.

Thinking back to yesterday, I sat on the beach watching Team Dolan train, recalling the brand-new Glorious wearing a sun hat and sunbathing, and how Team Dolan skillfully packed up their training gear, even inviting me to dinner when I'd lost track of time.

After a long silence, Sato was surprised to find that Orn was actually right!

The members of Dolan's team are not only very disciplined, but they also have a very accurate assessment of their own physical strength. Even the seemingly lazy newcomer, Genius, trains within his limits.

Ornn had prepared a training plan in advance, and the members of Dolan's team were like NPCs in a game, methodically completing their tasks while ensuring their own physical strength and safety, and maximizing their efficiency.

Furthermore, the team seems harmonious, with no apparent potential for fighting over trainers. Could it be that Orn completely erased the horse girl's possessiveness through hypnosis and brainwashing? That shouldn't be the case!

Makka Pakka!! Why can't I find such a great team?!

Sato, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, reached for his handkerchief, simultaneously biting the middle of it and pulling it downwards with both hands. This startled Orn, who scooted to the other end of the sofa.

I'm so envious!

Jealous! So jealous!!

Even Sakura Chiyo, if I'm not careful, the little girl will force herself to run another lap or two. I want a training atmosphere like the Dolan team's!

Trainers in Dolan's squad only need to leave the game running, but trainers in other squads have to consider many things.

As if suddenly remembering something, Sato put down the handkerchief he was holding.

She asked, "Okay, putting aside the trainer's responsibilities for now, how do you plan to address the issue of limited training equipment for horse girls?"

"From what I've observed, Dolan's team's training is basically all centered around those boots, right? Isn't this kind of training that only targets leg strength a bit too extreme?"

Orn thought for a moment, then reached out and took off his shoes, handing them to Sato, saying, "Here, you'll see once you put them on."

"But I already wore the last pair. Aren't your shoes just adding weight to your legs? What else...?"

"Oh, you'll see once you put them on!"

Unable to refuse Orn's request, Sato had no choice but to take off her own shoes and put on the steel-plated boots. A familiar weight immediately settled on her feet.

Just as she was about to ask a question, Orn suddenly pulled a hammer from his waist and gently tapped the heel of his iron-plated boot.

Sato felt as if she were immersed in seawater; the pressure in her lungs made each breath require even more effort, causing her to involuntarily crouch down towards the ground.
