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

But now it seems that I misunderstood this senior. He just wanted to encourage me in his own way!

Mr. Shibasaki... is a good person!

Since that's the case, then I can't let my seniors down.

After his conversation with Mr. Shibasaki, player [Ornn]'s fighting spirit soared!

On the sandy playground, the brand-new glory seemed to have died; all that remained was an empty shell.

Starting from the ninth lap, she felt as if her legs had disappeared. By the time she reached the last lap, she even felt as if she were heading to heaven.

'This feels so good, I just want to lie here on the floor forever...'

'Ah, that damned, cruel benefactor, am I hallucinating again? It's like I'm seeing him go to heaven with me? Shouldn't a villain like him be in hell?'

Ouch! That hurts!

Ornn, standing beside the playground, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He reached out and tossed an empty bottle, which hit the back of the brand-new Glorious.

"What are you muttering about? It's the last lap, you can rest after you finish!"

The newly radiant woman was speechless at this point. She rolled her eyes in protest, then obediently crossed the finish line, about to fall headfirst into the sand.

Ornn, who was prepared, swiftly caught the disoriented Chestnut Hair around the waist.

He teased, "Oh, you're already done? Look at Xiao Li, she finished running without even breaking a sweat. And look at you, tsk tsk tsk..."

As he spoke, he hoisted the brand-new radiance onto his shoulder like a sack of rice, placed her on a bench in the rest area, and then handed her some special salt and sugar water to replenish her fluids.

Shining brightly, she eagerly took the water bottle and began gulping it down without a care for ladylike behavior. Only after finishing the entire bottle did she barely regain her strength.

Ornn pulled out his hammer again and used his unique hammering technique to help her relax her body.

This time, even the newly radiant radiance was too weak to groan. She simply slumped limply in the seat, letting Orn pound her body.

"Okay, take a rest. When you get home, soak your lower body in hot water (around 40°C) for ten minutes."

"You have Sichuan peppercorns and ginger at home, right? Remember to chop some up and put them in the bowl. That will help relax your leg muscles."

She nodded her newly gleaming right ear up and down to indicate that she understood, and then lay down on the chair to rest.

Orn smiled as he looked at the tired chestnut. The horse girl's ears and tail were quite interesting, and many of her body movements could even be expressed in this way.

Then he turned around, waved to Oguri-hat who was making his final sprint not far away, and shouted, "No need to rush! Take your time!"

After crossing the finish line, the girl with the goatee stood in stark contrast to the chestnut-haired girl who had collapsed into a puddle of mud. Although the girl with the goatee was also exhausted, her spirits and remaining energy were still relatively good.

After helping her relax her legs, Orn said to the girl in front of him, "Very good! You're quite strong. If you keep training like this, you'll definitely be able to compete for first place in the competition a week from now!"

"Alright, later you should soak your feet in ginger and Sichuan peppercorns, just like Guanghui. I'll add other herbs as needed afterward."

Little Chestnut Hat hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then asked in a low voice, "Trainer... do you want to eat us?"

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Orn was amused by the girl in front of him. He shook his head and said, "This is a foot bath. Although it's just a very simple recipe, since there's a big difference in your physical abilities, I'll use this recipe to test it out first."

"If your bodies can't handle it, I'll switch to a different formula,"

"Alright, that's all for today's training. We'll be increasing the intensity later. How about it, can you handle it?"

Oguri Hat replied firmly, "I can persevere, Mr. Orn. ​​I will become a horse girl who can use those shoes!"

Chapter 23: Hard Talk

Kasamatsu Tressen has recently undergone some changes, mostly for the better.

Teng Zheng wiped the sweat from her brow and slowly walked to the edge of the audience seats to rest, while picking up her homemade salt water to replenish her fluids.

She then sat in the stands, staring blankly at the two figures still running on the playground.

"Sprint! Sprint!! Brand new glory! You're slacking off again!!"

"The first test is tomorrow! And you've already run this fast! How can you possibly sleep?!"

A young man stood below the stands, holding a megaphone, loudly directing two figures on the playground.

Hearing his call, the newly radiant figure, whose pace had slowed, gradually quickened again, looking like a farm implement being whipped on the American continent two hundred years ago.

Even Tengzheng March couldn't bear to look at the pitiful state of the horse. Was this really not horse abuse?

She and Noren Ace had privately approached Trainer Shibasaki, asking him to keep an eye on the new assistant trainer.

Such haphazard and chaotic behavior, and those two idiots actually trusted that man so much! Tengzheng March wouldn't allow his opponents to be crippled like this.

So she angrily questioned Shibasaki, why didn't he do anything about that young man?

But Shibasaki kept changing the subject, never mentioning the matter of Assistant Orn. ​​Every time they came full of promises, they left disappointed.

Before this group of girls who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, the forty-year-old Shibasaki was like a master swordsman in the forest, easily blocking their immature attacks (questions). Then, he unleashed his ultimate Tai Chi technique—the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth—with a punch on the left and a kick on the right, sending them staggering and disoriented.

They had also contacted other trainers, but those people seemed to already know about Orn's assistant's background and all said they knew nothing about him.

Even Kitahara, known for his kindness, started to play dumb about this matter, acting as if he knew nothing at all!

Finally, on the fourth day, Noren's Ace and his group of hot girls couldn't take it anymore.

The Great Chestnut King's formidable reputation within the school goes without saying, and that newly radiant brilliance is also a model student with good popularity among the students. They were extremely annoyed by this Noren Ace, who had tormented them to the point of near disfigurement.

So they surrounded the young man and began to interrogate him with all sorts of difficult questions, trying to tear off the hypocritical smile from this good-for-nothing spoiled brat's face.

But to their surprise, the man's face was like some kind of highly elastic gummy candy—not only incredibly resilient, but also extremely sticky.

Sometimes you throw a punch, but the person's face will make your hand sticky, and they might even bite you back.

Teng Zheng was fortunate enough to witness that great battle that day. The man fought three against one without being at a disadvantage, displaying the prowess of a warlord from the Warring States period.

From humorous rebuttals like "If you don't understand what I'm doing, then you're destined for a relatively unsuccessful life," to highly aggressive greetings like "How dare you talk to me like that? Is your mother a wholesaler?"

This man is different from those rigid, aristocratic young masters. He understands modern internet culture very well, perhaps even better than the hot girls like Noren Ace.

In the midst of their heated exchange, Norren, the ace, was starting to falter. The argument had devolved into a one-man show by Orn, who, with the other female warriors falling silent, seemed poised to gain even more momentum.

His lips moved constantly, his hands opening and closing as if he were pulling an invisible accordion.

Despite the weak and feeble words of the Japanese [Russai] [Baka] [Shine], his fighting power... is still rising!!

Finally, Noren, the ace, was the first to compromise. Since they couldn't win the argument, they decided to reason with them.

So they began to question Ornn, asking why he was training them in such an inhumane way, especially the new Radiant One—didn't he see she was almost evolving into a new type of zombie?!

Orn smiled slightly, then said, "This is a rash judgment made by someone who doesn't understand the new brilliance," thus beginning the debate.

After nearly an hour of heated debate, Noren, the ace, ran out of words, but she was still unconvinced. So she asked Orn about the problems she had encountered during her run.

In her mind, no matter how good the man in front of her was at talking, he was just a novice who had never been in the business and certainly had no experience in solving actual problems.

However, Orn directly pointed out the weakness of her running posture, which was leaning too far forward, and explained, "Your body flexibility is different from Oguri Hat's. I think you learned this running style because you saw her using this posture when she raced against the Yakuza trio, right?"

"You can try tilting your body slightly, preferably at about 30 degrees. This should be the position where you can exert the most force right now."

Noren tried it with some skepticism, but was subsequently completely convinced.

From then on, the group of girls never bothered Ornn's training again, and at the same time, more and more female trainees came to Ornn's assistant coach for advice.

In just two days, Ornn's reputation underwent a complete reversal, with everyone now readily accepting guidance from a trainer who wasn't even a trainer yet.

His advice may not be the best, but it is certainly the most effective.

However, Teng Zheng's March felt that there was something fishy about the person in front of her. She naturally acknowledged Ornn's strength and respected his character, and if possible, she would also like to hear his advice to her.

But even now, she still harbors doubts and wariness towards Ornn.

Because he was behaving so strangely.

It wasn't just his identity, for which no clues could be found, but also his knowledge and judgment far beyond his years, and finally, the extremely coincidental timing of his appearance.

If he really did pass the exam in just two months... no, it's been a month and a half now, then he could just catch up with Oguri Hattori and Shining Brilliant when they signed him as a trainer, and at the same time participate in multiple regional tournaments...

Everything seemed to have been secretly arranged.

Thinking of this, Teng Zheng shook his head, dismissing the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

She couldn't understand any of Orn's training methods, and she worried that the man in front of her was actually deceiving everyone in Kasamatsu, thus jeopardizing Oguri's future.

Even if she's a conspiracy theorist, even if she has dark thoughts, she wants to use her own methods to test the man's true nature.

Although Teng Zheng March has a somewhat aloof personality, she has a passionate fire in her bones, and she is willing to be the one to stir up trouble for her companions.

She walked over to Ornn, who was shouting incessantly, and suddenly said, "Assistant Trainer, I'd like to extend a challenge to you for a match."

"Although you don't have a trainer's certificate yet, I think I can already consider you Oguri and Illustrious's trainer, right?"

Upon hearing this, Orn put down the microphone.

He nodded and said, "If Glorious doesn't give up in the end, I might actually become their trainer."

"That's no problem."

Teng Zheng raised his head, his pale red eyes fixed on Orn's eyes.

She said, "I want to compete against Oguri in tomorrow's match."

Chapter 24 The Great Chestnut King! A Battle Against! Her Fan Group!

"Phew! Phew! My benefactor, so you just agreed to her request?"

The newly emerged radiance had just recovered from her zombie state; she sat on the ground with her legs spread apart, completely lacking any decorum.

Orn nodded: "Of course I agreed. Anyway, you two will be competing as a class, so it's good to take on the challenge now. It'll be good to make you two feel a little nervous."

He turned to look at Oguri, who was doing jumping exercises in place, and said, "You're wearing ordinary training shoes for this competition. I want to see how much your skill levels differ when you have the same equipment."

"Of course, I'm not trying to make things harder for you, Oguri-chan, because I want to verify whether my training this week has been effective."

The girl with the goat feathers stopped bouncing and nodded calmly, saying, "Okay, Mr. Orn, I will use all my strength to win this match."

Hearing the girl's firm reply, Orn smiled and said, "There's no need to feel so much pressure. After all, this isn't a real race. You just need to keep your eyes on the finish line."

"If anyone else dares to charge at you like those three, just go straight for them. With my help, you shouldn't be at a disadvantage in collisions with people of similar size."

"We're not asking for much this time. If we can't get first place, we'll get second; if we can't get second, we'll get third. You can eat whatever you want after the competition! It's on me!"

Upon hearing the words "treat," Little Chestnut Hat's ears suddenly perked up, then her right ear twitched, as if to confirm whether she had misheard.

"Oh, you heard me right. I'll treat you. You can eat everything in town you want."

As if afraid that Little Chestnut Hat hadn't heard him clearly, Orn repeated himself.

Upon receiving the reply, a red glint seemed to flash in Oguri's eyes. With a solemn expression, she answered, "Mr. Orn, I will win."

Shining Radiance quietly stood up and leaned close to Orn, asking, "Benefactor, are you really comfortable letting her eat whatever she wants? Little Chestnut has quite the appetite..."

Orn replied, "I know. I happened to watch her eat during the cooking competition that day, and to be honest, I was a little shocked."

The newly emerged radiance was getting anxious. Although she desperately wanted this despicable, hateful, heartless, inhuman, and dauntless benefactor to spend money, she didn't want him to be devoured by the gossamer monster and driven into bankruptcy, ending up homeless...

Suddenly, a bright beam of light pierced through the brain of the newly enlightened radiance, and she suddenly had a brilliant idea!

Wait a minute, if my benefactor ends up homeless, could I take the opportunity to lend him some swords? My family runs a horse girl merchandise store, and I get a good amount of pocket money every month.

Hmph, when my benefactor is at his poorest, I, the Radiant New Generation, will generously lend a helping hand. My benefactor will surely be moved by my personal charm! At that time, he will listen to me without question, and he will never go west if I say east!

Hmph! My benefactor had no choice but to rely on my brand-new Shining Sama when he was broke. Later, I'll take back that money with exorbitant interest rates, and by then, he'll definitely be inseparable from me! He'll end up being dragged home by me to inherit the Uma Musume Supplies shop...

It just so happens that my mother has been saying that if she doesn't make a name for herself, she'll go back to find a rich husband... With such a skilled craftsman as her benefactor, isn't that exactly what my mother wants?

Heh! Don't laugh, not now! Radiant! At least wait forty-five seconds... no, wait forty seconds before you laugh!!

Orn looked at the newly emerged Radiance, whose facial muscles were tense and who suddenly fell silent, seemingly trying to hold something in. He asked curiously, "Radiance, do you need to go to the bathroom? If you want to, go now. It's break time now."

"Holding it in for too long is bad for your health. If your bladder ruptures, you'll have to wear a urine bag around your waist, okay?"

At this point, he joked, "Of course, if you want a 24k pure gold urine bag, I can make one for you, but the weight would be equivalent to wearing a size six training horseshoe on your waist. Not only would it be heavy, but it would also be very unsightly."

"However, I can make you a special belt that you can wear around your waist. It will slowly expand like it's being inflated, eventually becoming a special swimming ring."

These down-to-earth, realistic words pierced her illusions of a newly risen, glorious serfdom, pulling her back to the time when she was still a black farm implement.

Her cheeks puffed up like a squirrel with its mouth full of nuts, but then they flattened out again, and the corners of her mouth twitched up and down.

Ornn's use of such vulgar language in a humorous tone left the newly radiant figure in a state of mixed amusement and embarrassment.

After a long while, she finally sighed and said, "I... well, never mind, I'm fine."

"It's good that you're alright. Guanghui will also be participating in this competition. I won't make any demands on you, since I've already met most of your classmates."

"Well, it seems like your talent is the lowest."
