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

"To fight against a god (a horse girl) with a human body?! That's so cool!!"

"Both fighters sustained injuries during the tug-of-war! Ah! Senior Maruzen unleashed a move called the 'Bōsōzō-shū' (Bike Tribe Punch), striking Master in the chest!"

"Master dodged the attack beautifully, but the button on his chest was ripped open by Maruzen-senpai's strike!"

"Oh! Master launched a perfect counterattack! He actually used [Trainer's Head Bounce]! It hit Maruzen-senpai's forehead directly!"

"This attack seems to have put Senior Maruzen into a state of [Bloody Rage]! She unleashed a flurry of punches, successfully breaking through Master's blockade and striking Master!"

"Oh my god! Master's shirt has been torn open! Revealing his powerful... pectoral muscles???"

Upon seeing that pale chest and neck, Vodka suddenly stammered. She stared blankly at Orn's violently heaving chest, her mouth agape for a long time.

Yamato Akama, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. This time, she didn't even bother acting anymore; she simply put down her hands, grabbed a glass of carrot juice, and started gulping it down.

"Are they really going to do that kind of thing in broad daylight?!"

"What is it? Chi Ji, explain yourself!"

"It's that kind of thing! That kind of thing! Don't make a fuss! Watch carefully!!"

Due to years of playing metal, Ornn has a very muscular physique, but not the kind of ripped muscleman you'd see in a gym; he has a relatively stocky build.

If the newly formed Lux ​​had seen Ornn in his current state, Little Fur would definitely have come up and teased him a bit, before obediently choosing to selectively forget his memory under the intimidation of Ornn's brass-headed leather belt.

But this scene was still a bit too exciting for Vodka and Yamato Akama; the shock was no less than when they first read the story of Shang Yang in history books.

The impact of this on Little Horse Girl is immeasurable!!

After a while, Vodka seemed to come to her senses. She felt something warm under her nose, so she reached up and touched it.

“Chiji…I, I think I have contracted an incurable disease.”

"Could it be that I saw something I shouldn't have, and the three goddesses are going to kill me?"

Seeing the blood dripping from Vodka's nose, Yamato Akaki quickly snapped out of his daze, frantically rummaging through the back seat for tissues. He then grabbed a couple of sheets and haphazardly stuffed them into Vodka's nostrils.

"What are you doing?! That hurts!! Don't you know how to stop someone's bleeding?!"

Vodka's face contorted in pain. She shoved Yamato Akaki away, then poked him twice in the waist.

"Huh!? I was just trying to help you stop the bleeding, and you hit me!? I'm not a professional doctor, how would I know how to comfortably stop your bleeding!"

As Yamato Akaki continued to pull out tissues and stuff them into Vodka's face, his eyes remained fixed on the two people locked in fierce combat outside the barrier.

"You!! Ugh... Ugh...!!"

Vodka had barely opened her mouth when Yamato Akamai stuffed her mouth with toilet paper. Unable to bear it any longer, she immediately fought back, pushing Yamato Akamai off her to the other side.

Soon, in the back seat of the vehicle, the second close-quarters combat began. The battle between the front and back seats was evenly matched and raged on.

Just as Vodka was throwing a punch, he accidentally triggered the switch on the side panel. After the barrier separating the front and back seats lowered, the four people inside the car couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

By this time, Ornn had gradually mastered the techniques of fighting the horse girl in confined spaces. He used his elbow to brace against her soft yet incredibly strong shoulder, then placed his feet on the half-raised barrier, assuming a very stable triangular position.

Maruzenski reached out to scratch Orn's face, but due to her limited arm span, no matter how hard she tried, she could only watch as Orn gave her a disdainful smile and raised his eyebrows at her with an irritating look.

Aside from their somewhat indecent clothing, neither of them had any obvious injuries.

But the woman in the back seat, Vodka, was much more frightening. Her face was covered in red and white patches of tissue paper, her mouth was filled with shredded cotton soaked in saliva, and there were even a few strands of red hair hanging from her lips.

Yamato Akama was in no better shape. She was pinned down by Vodka, and in the midst of the fierce fight, her face was splattered with his nosebleed, making her look like she had just walked out of a slaughterhouse.

The moment the barrier fell, the four men looked at each other awkwardly, and a brief silence fell over the car.

Considering his imposing figure in the eyes of his juniors, Maruzensky was the first to react.

After venting his anger, he looked at Orn's exposed collarbone and the expansive white chest that ran down his neckline.

The red supercar, now fully awake, realized the absurd thing she had done. She tried to back out through the half-raised opening, but her rather impressive front armor plate blocked her from the side.

Orn coughed lightly, looked away, and reached behind the steering wheel to press a button, allowing the stuck Maruzensky to sit back in the passenger seat and begin tidying his somewhat disheveled hair.

Taking advantage of that instant, Ornn swiftly removed the joystick and casually stuffed it into a nearby storage box.

He then turned to look at Vodka and Yamato Akaki, who were hurriedly tidying up their seats, and asked, "So... Vodka, when did you hide in my car?"

Chapter 252 Zero-Sum Game

Orn wet a disposable face towel and then tore off all the tissues that were stuck to Vodka's face.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"Bear the pain, it's your own fault for sneaking onto the bus!"

Orn picked up the damp handkerchief in his hand and flung it at Vodka's face, then rubbed it vigorously. Meanwhile, Maruzensky, who had straightened his clothes, helped wipe the dirt off Yamato Akamai's face.

All four of them have now gotten off the car and are resting at a restaurant next to the island amusement park.

The atmosphere in the car was still too awkward. The thought of his behavior being witnessed by these two younger men made Maruzensky's toes start scratching incessantly at the soles of his sandals.

Fortunately, Orn reacted quickly. He explained to the two shocked juniors that he was just joking with Maruzensky and didn't mean anything by it.

Vodka and Yamato Akama were still young, and seeing that the two people involved were nodding seriously, they naturally didn't think in any other direction.

After calming down, Maruzensky suggested having lunch together at a nearby restaurant to make up for his impulsive and foolish behavior.

"I'm so sorry, little Orn. ​​I was a bit impulsive just now. After all, you're the first opponent to defeat me in my area of ​​expertise, so I was a little hasty. I'm sorry!"

Maru Zenki scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, bowing to Orn as she apologized, "It's just that I'm really excited about this. The only person who can defeat me with such an unparalleled advantage in this area is indeed you, Orn!"

"I was a little resentful just now, and since you secretly recorded my boastful words, I was in a hurry and accidentally crushed it."

"Looks like my driving skills still need improvement. Little Orn, you're really amazing! Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my promise to you, after all, a bet is a bet!"

Ah! What a wonderful girl!

Kind-hearted, magnanimous, with superb driving skills, seemingly a wealthy woman, and most importantly, owning a red supercar—she's practically everyone's dream car.

Even though Ornn cheated, Maruzensky thought it was his fault. Ornn could understand his emotional outburst just now. After all, if his dark history was also recorded by the new Radiance, he wouldn't be Ornn if he didn't spin her around like a top!

If an ordinary person heard Maruzensky's self-narration, they would probably be so ashamed that they would reveal their own cheating abilities.

But Ornn is no ordinary person. He's an ordinary person who won Game 1, an ordinary person who was crowned the founder of the Dolan team.

"Hehe, Senior Maruzen is too modest. I really think my driving skills are just average. That's what I truly believe. This victory was just a fluke."

"If you were in better spirits today, then you would definitely be the one to win."

"But the most important thing is whether you, Maruzen-senpai, are having fun! Isn't that what we came out for today?"

Not only did he not mention the cheating, but Ornn completely acted as if he knew nothing about it, and immediately reverted to his usual talkative self.

Listening to the man in front of him, who just minutes before had been loudly proclaiming himself to be an "auntie," suddenly become so flattering, Maruzensky shook the teacup in his hand with a somewhat uncertain expression.

Then, with a smile and a cold look in her eyes, she looked at Orn and said softly, "Oh~~~ You were just looking down on me, and now you're flattering me like this? It's a little unsettling for me."

Orn quickly reached out and patted the vodka next to him who was ordering food, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Hey, Maruzen-senpai, don't say that. There are juniors watching. What kind of behavior is this?"

Maruzensky glanced at the little kid next to him with the same hair color as himself. Yamato Akaki felt a strong gaze, so he and Vodka obediently stared at the recipe.

Wow! This recipe is a real recipe! It looks so good!

Seeing her juniors trembling with fear, their faces screaming "I can't hear you," the wicked redhead sneered, "Hmph... Little Ornn, don't try that trick on me anymore. Let's talk the truth."

"I will definitely go back and do what Qianming asked me to do, but that's all I can do. So I will only have one simulation training session with your family's representative. After that, the task she assigned me will be completed."

"As for how much you can learn from my matches, that depends entirely on your own abilities. I'm not going to hand over my experience so easily,"

She crossed her legs, rested her hands on the back of the sofa behind her, raised an eyebrow at Orn, and said, "If you want me to teach you more about leading techniques, then we'll have a few more races together."

"How about this, I'll teach you one skill for every ten matches, okay?"

If the other trainers knew that they could exchange a gold skill for just ten races with Maruzensky, they'd probably be kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to him and shouting "Long live Maruzensky!"

But Ornn didn't see it that way, because he was there to get something for free. Despite his usual generosity, he wouldn't part with a single penny if forced to pay.

Let alone asking him to compete in ten games, he doesn't even want to drive the car out of the underground parking garage!

"Senior Maruzen, aren't you asking a bit too much of me?"

Orn looked troubled and said, "I'm just a rookie trainer right now, and I have five trainers under my command. My work is extremely busy every day, and often I can't even finish it by working overtime."

"And now you want me to compete against you ten times in exchange for one chance to learn a skill? Isn't this just deliberately torturing me?"

"You're not only torturing me, but also my subordinates. Do you really want their bright futures to be ruined? Can you really bear to do that?"

Orn's heartfelt words were filled with sincerity, and Yamato Akari and Vodka, who were looking down at the menu, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Yes! Ornn's main job is still a trainer, not a biker gangster.

Moreover, he also held multiple positions, including nanny, honorary guest of the laboratory, blacksmith, prime minister, intelligence investigator, skill creator, and final suit designer.

Let him waste his time AFK racing? That's a joke! How could that be?

From Sakura Chiyo, he had learned a bit about the red-haired racer girl in front of him. Although Maru Zenki was a bit old-fashioned in her ways, she was also a senior figure who valued tradition.

They reasoned with the other party, appealing to their emotions, and presented the objective facts. Then, they used the banner of righteousness to pressure the other party into making a choice that benefited them.

This is his usual tactic; he did the same when he fooled Chairman Rudolf.

The young pony girls still in school, untouched by the harsh realities of society, find this simple yet highly effective tactic surprisingly hard to withstand; few can withstand his combo.

If he approached the persuasion from this perspective, he believed that the beautiful and kind-hearted woman in front of him would agree to his conditions.

Ornn's idea was indeed good, but unfortunately he overlooked three key elements.

Firstly, Sakura Chiyo, whom Maruzensky regarded as his successor, was defeated by his mentor, Oguri Hat, in the Japanese derby, which is a case of the succession being interrupted.

Secondly, after witnessing Ornn's change of attitude both inside and outside the car, she had developed a resistance to his persuasive methods, which meant she had lost credibility.

Thirdly, Maru Zenki is currently the oldest among the students at Central Tresson, and moreover, she has been involved in the underground racing industry for many years and is well aware of the so-called brainwashing rhetoric used by some leaders. This is what causes them to lose the initiative.

Maruzensky watched Orn's performance quietly. After he finished speaking, she leaned forward slightly, placed her hands on the table, and gently clapped.

"Little Orn, it's a real shame you're not a stage actor. Your facial expression control is so superb, even the top stars in the film industry can't control it as well, right?"

"If it weren't for the farce in the car just now, I might actually have agreed to your suggestion, but... the situation is different now."

"Of course I know the difficulties you're talking about, but that has nothing to do with me, a horse girl who's already entered the Dream Cup, okay?"

Maruzensky looked down at her manicured nails and said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm a very selfish horse girl, I just want someone to race with me a few more times."

"Now that I have juniors to be proud of, and I don't like to go to the playground to teach juniors like Chiaki and Katsuragi, the others have nothing to do with me, right?"

“Little Orn, I still prefer your unruly self in the car. This flattering look makes me a little uncomfortable.”

At this point, Maruzensky had completely seized control of the conversation, and in her view, her demands were not excessive.

All we need to do is have Orn set aside two hours every three days... no, every two days... no, still two hours every day, to spar with her.

There are 24 hours in a day, so what's wrong with taking two hours... or even four hours to go to a competition with her? It's perfectly normal, isn't it?

Orn's eye twitched slightly; Maruzen's sharp gaze seemed to rip away his facade.

While in the car, his only thought was to get rid of the other person as quickly as possible, which is why he inadvertently revealed his true nature and hurled insults at them.

But to his utter surprise, there were two little kids hiding in the back seat of his car. Because of this unexpected turn of events, the two sides inexplicably made up again.

Now that's settled, Maruzensky is on her guard, and she can't easily fool him anymore.

Since that's the case, let's go all the way and speak frankly!

Maruzensky raised an eyebrow. She felt that the nice guy, Orn, sitting opposite her had disappeared, replaced by an aura quite similar to that of the "Young Head" she had encountered when she went to participate in an underground racing competition.

Orn slung his arm over one shoulder, then rested his chin on one hand and tapped the table lightly with the other.

"Tsk tsk tsk, 'Other people's business is none of my business,' that really doesn't sound like something that legendary supercar owner would say."

"So, it seems that everything you said about supporting the president's dream was a lie?"

Maru Zenki frowned and asked, "How do you know about this? Do you know her?"

Orn shrugged, didn't answer, and just sat there quietly watching her.

This move was actually a test. Based on what he had seen from senior trainers and past reports, Maruzensky and Rudolf's relationship wasn't bad; at least, it was much better than the relationship between Representative Chiaki and Rudolf.

While Maruzensky was already a well-known figure, Rudolf had just finished his first match. Their true connection only began after Rudolf became student council president.

In a way, Maruzensky was even Rudolf's teacher, introducing her to trainer Tojo Hana after she had just left trainer Morita Itsuki, and helping Rudolf adapt to the various busy tasks of the student council.

When Rudolf was telling Orn about his dream, he also mentioned the support that Maruzen had given him.

Therefore, Orn deduced that Rudolf and Maruzensky should have a good relationship, and that Representative Chiaki wouldn't tell Maruzensky about her personal grudges with Rudolf.
