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

"Hmph~~ Although my benefactor didn't teach me, I did ask other seniors for guidance!"

Shining Bright pointed to his phone: "Hey, I told you before, the Dry Tree Hole website not only has lots of gossip, but also people teaching skills!"

"At least my benefactor and I are convinced that those teaching skills are genuine! So my benefactor agreed that I should practice according to the training experience in those books!"

Megumi Ardan stood on tiptoe and asked curiously, "That website actually has people who teach skills? But... but why would they do that?"

New Radiance shrugged and said, "I don't know. She said it was because she didn't want her descendants to be helpless when competing for the [Supreme Treasure], so she recorded her experience for them to refer to. Perhaps that's why she shared it?"

"Ah! By the way, Aldan, are you alright? I saw you suddenly slow down during the final sprint, was there something wrong with your legs?"

Aldan shook his head and said, "No, I just didn't control my strength well. After all, my legs were indeed a bit weak before, and maybe that feeling of not daring to put force into them is still there."

"Don't worry, we'll just do a few more simulations."

With a sigh of relief, Xin Guanghui said, "That's good. I thought the treatment method from our benefactor hadn't worked. Then all our efforts would have been in vain!"

Tamamo Cross, finally catching her breath, put her hands on her hips and complained to New Radiance, "I've never been hit by three obstacle skills at the same time before, New Radiance, you're really amazing."

"Among all the G1 players we've encountered so far, there are some who have learned four or five different obstacle skills,"

"But we've never seen anyone simultaneously launch three obstacle skills at four horse girls. Shining, you might have a terrifying talent in this area!"

Her brand-new, radiant ears perked up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Really?! Am I... really that amazing?!"

Tamamo Cross nodded, scratching her ear as she said, "Well, although it feels very uncomfortable, we have to admit it!"

"Brand new glory, you are indeed very impressive."

"Great! I knew I was a genius!"

Upon receiving praise from a current powerhouse, Little Deer Fur jumped up on the spot in excitement.

But suddenly a hand appeared above her head, pulling down the excited, newly radiant glow.

Orn sighed, "Don't instill strange ideas in her. It's fine if it hinders her learning skills, but the most important thing is to have a solid foundation."

"Guanghui, you noticed this in the simulation competition, didn't you? Your foundation is still not solid enough. Going forward, your training should focus on speed and strength."

"As for obstruction skills... I'll practice them when I have time."

After placing the newly gleaming light on the ground, he looked at Oguri Hat and nodded, saying, "Oguri, you did very well this time, but you should also have realized your weakness, right?"

"So, it's time to start learning new skills?"

Little Chestnut Hat nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

"March, your situation is similar to Oguri's; the gap in skills is your biggest weakness right now,"

Orn continued, "Adapting your running style on the spot can indeed be a winning strategy, but if you can't control it, then that adaptation can become a weapon that backfires on you."

"I will continue to adjust the training. I think you should be clear about your strengths."

Fujimasa March, his right hand clenched tightly: "Yes, I understand."

Finally, Orn looked at Ardan Meguro and nodded, saying, "It seems you've also realized your problem. In future training, you can try to push your limits in releasing power."

"Don't worry, with me here, there's no way your legs will suffer any accidents."

Meguro Aldan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Orn."

Komiyayama and Tamamo Cross were also reviewing the game. Orn reached for his phone and said, "Alright, it's almost lunchtime now. I heard the hotel offers room service. Shall we try it?"

The newly radiant figure asked somewhat hesitantly, "Wouldn't this... be too much trouble for the chefs? It's such a long way, and it's so hot, isn't this a bad idea?"

"What?! My benefactor says it's alright? Haha!"

As she spoke, she reached for Orn's phone and said with delight, "Then I'll gladly accept your offer!"

Ornn raised an eyelid, but he didn't say anything.

After all, they did try their best, so letting her indulge herself this time is acceptable.

The members of Dolan's team selected the food they wanted one by one, and finally the phone ended up in Oguri's hands.

The monster with the goat hair's eyes lit up, and then her right hand fingers tapped the "Manchu Han Imperial Feast (Small)" meal icon with lightning speed, leaving afterimages in their wake. To everyone's astonishment, she returned the phone to Orn.

"I'll take these, then!"

Chapter 218 Confession

Orn took the phone, looked at the family bucket meal that had been clicked 968 times, and then looked up at Little Chestnut Hat's innocent smiling face. He finally couldn't hold back anymore, raised his hand to rub Lu Mao's face, and shook his head, saying, "No, you can't eat so much."

"Ah~~~"

Little Chestnut Hat's ears drooped down, and she looked up at Orn pitifully, hoping to soften his heart in this way.

"Looking at me won't help! Even if I order all this food, the kitchen can't possibly make it all."

But this time, Orn did not budge. He shook his head and said, "I can only allow you to order twenty family buckets at most. I'm worried that the chefs won't be able to handle any more, and eating so much might affect the afternoon's activities."

"Look, you all should also..."

Let's order something new.

Having said that, he ignored the tearful eyes of the girl in the chestnut hat and handed the phone, now empty of its shopping cart, back to the members of Dolan's team.

Komiya, who had just finished her post-match analysis, leaned over, holding her phone, and asked with a smile, "Orn, are you guys planning to order delivery too? Want to use my phone to order as well?"

"It's perfect that Tamamo-chan has finished ordering. Let's order together so the delivery drivers can make it easier!"

As he spoke, Komiyama handed his phone to Orn.

Orn was about to wave his hand in refusal, but after seeing the number of food items represented by the crosshair on the phone screen, he changed his mind.

He took Komiyayama's phone and placed it in front of Oguri, saying, "Look! Look! Oguri! You could eat Tamamo Cross for ten days straight with the same amount of food you have in one day!"

"I'm not saying eating a lot is bad, but you should at least try to control your appetite!"

The girl with the goosebumps blushed, a rare occurrence for her, but judging from her tightly clenched fists, it didn't seem like shyness or shame, but rather like anger and embarrassment, or perhaps the stubbornness typical of Dolan's squad.

She pouted, her cheeks puffed up like a frog's, and muttered, "I... I just need to eat this much to feel full... It's not my fault!"

"I already said before that I could eat as much as I wanted! Why are you going back on your word now!"

Standing next to Oguri, Shining Radiance muttered, "Even if it's just for casual eating, it's impossible to order 999 servings at once. Even considering Oguri's appetite, that's a bit too much."

Ornn nodded and said, "It's rare for Glorious to speak like a human being. Little Chestnut, eat less this time. After our training this afternoon, we still need to prepare supplies for the festival. There will be delicious food then, you know?"

"If you eat too much now, you won't have room for anything else when you're full tonight."

"Hey! My benefactor! What do you mean I've finally spoken like a human being? Don't I usually make any sense?"

Orn nodded seriously and said, "Soudayo!"

"Hey! You're asking for it!!"

The newly radiant light jumped up angrily, wanting to bite Ornn's arm.

But the opponent had anticipated this and nimbly dodged the radiant attack.

The fawn missed its target and crashed headfirst into Komiyama Komi, who was standing next to Orn.

But Komiyama, being a veteran trainer, reacted remarkably quickly. Seeing Shining Light aim a headbutt at her, she immediately shifted slightly to the side, dodging the attack.

Undeterred by her newfound brilliance, she continued her charge, crashing into the bewildered Tamamo Cross.

"Wow!!"

"Oh!!"

"Kouki! Tamamo-kun! Are you alright?!"

Chaos erupted. Megumi Ardan and Fujimasa frantically separated the two who had collided, while Orn began mocking the new Illusion's poor aim, further enraging the already dizzy Fuzzy, thus triggering a second collision.

"Tsk tsk, you're quite strong, but your aim isn't great. You need to practice more!"

"Practice my foot! Take another one of my moves! Hey!"

Looking at the bustling crowd, Oguri Hat lowered her head in disappointment. It was a rare treat for Tamamo Cross to train with her; she had hoped to showcase her gluttonous eating skills.

It seems we'll have to perform another time.

After lunch, Orn and Komiyama discussed it and decided to hold their afternoon training session next to the stadium.

A morning passed, and apart from their small team, only a few scattered horse girls came to compete; no one else arrived.

"Looks like everyone's using the hotel's equipment; no one's here?"

Komiyama peeked out from the stands at the road outside the stadium, then turned back to Orn and suddenly grinned mischievously, "Hey, Orn, you didn't go and steal the training equipment, did you?"

"Could it be... that you actually have some secret training treasure? Why don't you share such a good thing with your senior?"

Orn looked at the female horses stretching their ligaments in the arena, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, there are, but I can't share them with you right now."

Komiyama Komi originally just wanted to bluff him, but she didn't expect to actually get a reply.

Ho! I knew it! The Dolan team's horse girls have improved so much; besides the trainer's guidance, there must be differences in their equipment as well.

When I went back, I specifically asked Miki Sakai, the trainer from Black Howl, and she said that Team Doran didn't seem to participate in the fight for training equipment at all; instead, they were doing some strange training on the beach.

Could it be... that these training sessions are what led to Oguri Hat and the others' tremendous improvement?

Thinking of this, she quickly asked, "Really!? Then, compared to the equipment provided by the hotel, which is stronger, this trained baby or the equipment provided by the hotel?"

Orn said enigmatically, "The hotel's possessions are far inferior to my treasure!"

Komiya quickly grabbed the arm of the junior in front of her and asked excitedly, "Then... what price do I need to pay to get a set of training equipment from you?"

"Um....."

A look of hesitation crossed Orn's face, then he said with a troubled tone, "The master who gave me the training equipment instructed me that these things must not be passed on..."

"I see!"

Komiyayama nodded repeatedly and said, "As long as Orn, you give me a set of tools, I'll do anything!"

Orn raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't say such serious things so casually. What if people misunderstand?"

"Hmm... how about this, Senior Komiyama, although that master forbids me from transferring those precious items to others, I can let you use some of the secondary items that the master gave me,"

"If you find it very effective after using it, then please teach me skills commensurate with the value of this training equipment."

"How does this sound to you?"

After hearing what Orn said, Komiyama thought about it for a moment.

Since that master had given Ornn a strict order not to divulge the secret, Ornn's current suggestion is a compromise, albeit a desperate one, and he's showing genuine sincerity by offering to let him experience it first before paying.

If the secondary product doesn't work well, you can even get a full refund without giving a reason, and the only cost you've made is a few skills...

Hmm... this is also one of the difficulties faced by new trainers. While the tutorials for basic skills are indeed available in the library of Central Treson, it's difficult to gain any real understanding just by looking at those dry books.

Ideally, you'd have a training manual from experienced instructors; their accumulated experience, summarized from teaching multiple classes, is far more useful than the lifeless textbooks in the library.

Since that's the case, if the training effect of that secondary item is good, then I'll replace it with some ordinary skills. Speaking of which, the horse girls in Dolan's squad are basically among the best...

Hey, you're lacking basic skills anyway, aren't you? I happen to know some chasing and horse-riding skills, I promise I'll give you a surprise!

Consider this a lesson for you, young man. How could you give such a valuable tool to your competitor? Learn from your mistakes; sometimes, a loss is a blessing in disguise!

Although Komiyama had secretly made up her mind, her expression remained unchanged; instead, she put on a worried and distressed look.

After thinking for a long time, she finally nodded and said, "Alright, since you've said so, Orn, I have no reason to refuse."

"If Tamamo is satisfied with the skill, I will give you a skill book of equal value as you requested."

A sincere look appeared on Orn's face. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll teach the secondary product to you, senior, after we get back to the hotel this afternoon!"

The so-called "secondary item" he wanted to give was actually the pair of horseshoes he had previously gifted to Satomi Kazutsugu.

Because Ornn had previously experimented with mass-producing horseshoes in secret, he had produced dozens of byproducts.

Adhering to the principle of never wasting anything, rather than letting these horseshoes rot in the warehouse, it's better to make the most of them; exchanging them for skills would be good too.

Komiyama's guess was indeed correct. Ornn's biggest problem right now is the lack of skill sets. Back in the student council, he had to use a full four hundred lame jokes to pry five skills out of Rudolph.

Most of these five skills are currently unlearnable! Ornn's own fusion-forged skills are also lacking, making it impossible to directly teach them to the horse girls of Doran's squad.

If they could get Komiyayama's help, he might be able to further refine his self-created fusion skill, thereby improving the overall strength of the Dolan Squad.

He wasn't afraid of Komiya giving him skills he couldn't use; he was afraid that the other party wouldn't give him any skills at all!

The two exchanged a smile, both feeling confident they had gotten a good deal.
