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

"How dare you talk back!"

Ornn's eyes widened, then he reached out his demonic claws to scratch the neck of the newly radiant light.

"Ooh! Pfft! Hahaha! My savior!! Stop hitting me!! I was wrong, I was wrong! We're still in the restaurant!! Hahaha!"

"Quack! Eek! Hey! March! Oguri! Help me!!"

Fujimasa brought over several plates of fried noodles, then poured them into Oguri Hat's bowl, shaking his head and saying, "He only got what he deserved; he doesn't deserve any sympathy."

"Xiao Li, just focus on your food. The food in the cafeteria is pretty good tonight."

Oguri Hat nodded solemnly. Eating her way through the entire cafeteria that evening was indeed a challenge for her, but she was confident she could achieve it.

A burst of bright, cheerful laughter echoed from a corner of the academy's dining hall, naturally attracting the attention of the other horse girls nearby.

A large female horse, holding a rice scoop in her right hand, reached out towards a smaller female horse beside her, who wore a red and blue embroidered ball on her head. The smaller female horse naturally resisted fiercely, using her hands to brace herself against the large female horse's movement.

"Oh, Tamamo, don't be so resistant. Look over there, isn't that new trainer feeding his assigned character too?"

Tamamo Cross, however, didn't believe the horse girl's nonsense. She looked at Yae Muti, who was sitting at the same table as her, and said pleadingly, "Hey! Yae! Don't just stand there watching!! Come help us!!"

"And you over there eating fried tofu!! You think you can run away after we've been fed?! Come help us!!"

Hearing Tamamo's plea for help, Yae Muti remained unmoved. She simply said calmly, "Don't worry, Tamamo-senpai, Xiaohaiwan's current situation can be easily resolved. As long as you can be sacrificed... as long as you can endure it, everything will eventually pass."

"That's not right!! Didn't you just say sacrifice?! We're not sacrifices!!"

As Tamamo Cross watched the rice spoon approaching her, her eyelids began to twitch involuntarily.

She looked at the short man wearing a fox mask sitting opposite her and said anxiously, "Inari! Come help me!! If you help me, I'll bake you my secret recipe takoyaki!!"

The short girl called Inariichi revealed a sly smile, shaking the two buns on her head and chuckling, "Hey, Tamamo, what I like to eat isn't greasy takoyaki, but delicious fried tofu!"

Tamamo's expression changed very quickly. After hearing what Inari said, she immediately retorted, "That's not right! Takoyaki has much less oil than fried tofu!"

Meanwhile, her hands didn't stop; she continued to grip Xiaohaiwan's arm tightly, preventing her from feeding her.

Inari wasn't angry. She chuckled and reached out to poke Tamamo Cross's armpit.

"Gu!!"

Tamamo's features contorted in pain, her lips trembling. After a moment of restraint, she finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

While Tamamo's hands were weakening from the cross, Super Little Bay shoved the soup spoon into her mouth.

As the food entered her mouth, a hint of despair crept onto Tamamo Cross's expression. She knew that this feeding would be the key to opening Pandora's box, and today... no, even this year, her descendants would remember this shameful sight.

"This year...did Ornn really tell you that?"

At the Mejiro mansion, after seeing off the Emperor of the East Sea and Tsurumaru Takeshi who had come to play with McQueen, Mejiro Asama looked at Mejiro Aldan and said, "It seems he didn't do anything stupid. If he had directly invited you to join Dolan's team, I probably wouldn't have agreed."

Megumi Ardan asked with some confusion, "Mistress, why is that?"

After a moment's thought, Megumi Asami roughly explained Orn's current predicament to the girl in front of her.

Looking at Aldan, who was deep in thought, Mu Baiqian sighed and said, "That's roughly the situation. The fact that he's willing to use the proxy guidance method shows that he understands that his current situation is somewhat delicate. Perhaps he won't let the horse girls from the big families join his team until the struggle is completely over."

"At least, not in name only."

The matriarch of the Mejiro family looked at the oil paintings of the family's past matriarchs hanging in the room, and then said, "Unlike your sisters, you have a wealth of experience and knowledge, so I can talk to you about these things."

"Anything else about Orn, he's quite responsible. He doesn't make promises lightly, but when he does, he always keeps them. I actually quite like him."

"So, now that you understand all this, are you still willing to accept his guidance?"

Megumi Ardan smiled and nodded. She said, "Of course I'm willing. From our interactions today, Mr. Orn is indeed a true gentleman, and his arrangements for my training are very thoughtful. I can't find any fault with him."

"Whether from a training perspective or from other aspects, Mr. Orn is indeed the best choice."

"Yeah."

Mu Baiqian closed her eyes and said softly, "Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more."

"It's late, get some rest. Your health is the most important thing."

"Yes, Mistress."

Chapter 127 I typed the central exam paper, is that true or false?

"Hey! Guanghui! Wake up! Today is class, don't oversleep!"

"A few drops of dew, puff puff puff! March, wait for me! I'm coming!"

Shining brightly, she sprayed mouthwash into the sink, wiped herself with a towel, grabbed her bag, and rushed out of the dormitory.

After waving to the short-haired dormitory supervisor in her school training uniform, she quickly caught up with Fujimasa's marching pace and asked breathlessly, "Phew, March, we don't need to rush today. It's only 6:40 in the morning, and morning classes don't start until 7:30. We still have almost an hour!"

Fujimasa March shook his head and said, "No, I already asked Shining Senior next door yesterday. Tuesday morning is the strictest time for checking attendance. At that time, faculty and staff will patrol and take attendance, so this morning is also the day when all students will rush to the cafeteria."

Upon hearing this, Xin Guanghui was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "Masaka! The cafeteria is already packed?!"

"Shining-senpai told me that every Tuesday, the south cafeteria, which is near the Lidong and Meipu dormitories, is packed, but the north cafeteria isn't,"

Fujimasa continued, "Tamamo-senpai must have already taken Oguri to the cafeteria in the north. There are too many students in the south, and Oguri probably won't have enough to eat, so we're going to find Oguri to meet up with her now."

Shining brightly, he counted on his fingers, "Go to the cafeteria in the north... eat there, then go to the teaching building... even if we run, it'll take twenty minutes!"

Fujimasa said helplessly, "Yeah! So there's nothing we can do about it! It's a bit far, but it's better than not having enough to eat in the morning!"

Stop complaining! Run!

Shining Radiance sighed. To fill her stomach, she had no choice but to rush towards the north cafeteria with Fujimasa March.

Just as the march predicted, although the north cafeteria was less crowded than the south cafeteria, it was still packed with people.

In the chaotic cafeteria, a table had already been built like a city wall. Little Chestnut Hat, holding a chicken leg, waved it at the brand-new, gleaming table, which surprised the dense crowd in the cafeteria.

"Here! Here!! Glory! March! I've already gotten your food!"

As she spoke, she moved aside the wall in front of her, revealing food piled up like a small hill on a plate.

Seeing this, Shining Radiance couldn't help but shed tears. She stepped forward and hugged Oguri's head, revealing a fatherly expression of relief, and exclaimed, "My goodness! Oguri... Oguri actually brought us food instead of eating it all!!"

"March! Can you see that?! Oguri has grown up!!"

Tamamo-no-Mae rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "If we hadn't kept stopping her, she wouldn't have been so obedient! She even left you some food! She would have eaten it all by now!"

Fujimasa quickly said, "Thank you, Tamamo-senpai. But the schedule in Central Teresan seems to be quite different from other Teresan locations. Isn't it usually Monday for academic classes?"

Tamamo Cross used her chopsticks to transfer a chicken leg from her bowl to Oguri Hat's bowl, explaining, "Oh, I know why this arrangement was made."

"Think about it, isn't the number of female horses you saw on the playground over the weekend completely different from the number you saw on Monday? Wasn't there practically no one on the playground?"

Fujimasa recalled for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's indeed the case."

But then she asked, puzzled, "But why is that? Aren't the students at Central Tressen supposed to work even harder? They can't possibly be slacking off on weekends, can they?"

Tamamo Cross explained, "Whether they're slacking off or not, I can't say for sure. I don't know if all the horse girls are slacking off, but I do know what the horse girls in my batch are doing on weekends."

“Most of them go out for training with their trainers. Some of the horse girls train at Yoyogi Park in Tokyo, while others run around several major landmarks in the city center, such as running from Chuo Trason to Tokyo Tower, then to Senso-ji Temple, and finally running back to school from the direction of the university town.”

"In the process, we can also do some idol activities. It's not uncommon for us to sing a song on the street. This was actually an activity first proposed by Chairman Rudolf. And this trick is quite effective in attracting fans. If we weren't currently preparing for the Takarazuka Memorial, we might have gone out for a stroll too!"

Shining Brilliance swiftly reached out and snatched a steamed bun from Little Chestnut Hat's mouth. After Little Chestnut Hat took a bite to assert her ownership of the bun, Shining Brilliance asked, "Tamamo-senpai, are you going to attend the Takarazuka Memorial?"

"Ah, we definitely have to participate. Among the horse girls competing this time is that Akatsu Empress, she's a formidable opponent!"

"She also won the Autumn Emperor's Award last year with the title of 'Emperor'! That's amazing!"

Tamamo Cross crossed her legs with a slightly roguish air. Although she claimed that Emperor Akitsu was her formidable rival, her eyes remained fixed on Oguri's hat, which was currently twirling with its brand-new, gleaming chopsticks.

Sitting beside her, Fujimasa March naturally saw the battle-ready look in Tamamo Cross's eyes. Only then did she understand why Orn hadn't chosen to send Oguri Hat to the Takarazuka Memorial to test the waters—the stage for their battle had already been chosen.

'Autumn...?'

Looks like this summer is going to be even hotter.

It seemed the topic had strayed a bit too far, and Tamamo-no-Mae said, "Ah! Wait a minute! Weren't we talking about why we have academic classes on Tuesdays? How did the conversation turn to the Takarazuka Memorial?"

"As we just mentioned, not everyone goes to training on the weekend. To avoid some undisciplined horse girls not exercising for three consecutive days, the school has designated Monday as training day, Tuesday and Wednesday as academic classes, Thursday as training day, and the first half of Friday as academic classes, with training classes in the afternoon."

"Speaking of which, this must be the first time the three of you have attended a general education class, right?"

Oguri Hat nodded and said, "Yes, after five days in the Central Government, today is indeed the first time I've attended a cultural class."

After finishing the last bite of her steamed bun, Xin Guanghui wiped her mouth and said with some emotion, "It really is my first time there. Although we've only been in the Central Government for five days, it feels like two weeks have already passed."

Tamamo Cross shrugged and said, "Well, you'll get used to it. This feeling of fulfillment will only increase over time."

"Alright! We need to go prepare for practice! We don't need to have any academic classes today!"

As she spoke, the petite horsewoman jumped down from her seat, waved, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Jade!"

Little Chestnut Hat quickly put down the bread in her hand, chewed it twice rapidly, and swallowed the food in her mouth.

With food crumbs clinging to the corner of her mouth, the girl solemnly addressed Tamamo Cross's retreating figure, saying, "Takarazuka Memorial... Good luck!"

"Hey, you don't need to tell me, I already know! After all, I'm going to dominate Japan's horse girls!!"

Tamamo turned her head to look at Oguri, a smile playing on her lips: "Don't fall behind in your training either. After this summer training camp, we're really looking forward to a showdown with Oguri!"

Oguri Hat nodded, but Tamamo Cross suddenly said, "Oh right, I seem to have forgotten to remind you, next week is the second midterm exam of this semester, and the difficulty of the academic exams at Central Teresa... is among the top in all of Japan!"

"Since you transferred directly from Kasamatsu, you're essentially transfer students, so you're probably taking the same academic classes as Aldan and Sakura Chiyo, right?"

"Eh?"

Oguri's expression suddenly became incredibly innocent, even more so than a snow leopard in the Japanese mountains, revealing a clear and pure innocence, like that of a modern college student.

The newly radiant woman beside her was also stunned, and murmured, "Nothing can be expected?!"

"Doesn't that mean...we'll be facing a central government exam in just one week?!"

Tamamo Cross shrugged and said, "That's how it is. Good luck! We don't want future contestants to be overwhelmed by academic exams."

After saying that, she walked out of the cafeteria, leaving behind the bewildered Fujimasa March and the brand-new brilliance, as well as the seemingly malfunctioning Oguri Hat.

Shining Radiance glanced at Little Chestnut Hat beside him, who had already started babbling, and couldn't help but swallow.

Is it true that Oguri typed the central exam papers?

Chapter 128 The horse girl only needs to run, but the culture teacher has many more things to consider.

My name is Kazumi Sato. I am a female academic teacher at Central Tereson Middle School, responsible for teaching math and Japanese to four classes. I am also the homeroom teacher for class 3.

With a sound teaching philosophy and excellent teaching quality, I have been awarded the title of Outstanding Teacher by Central Teresen for three consecutive years. If I can achieve the title of Outstanding Teacher this year, a promotion and a raise will no longer be a dream!

However, Kazumi Sato also noticed some oddities at Central Tressen. For example, although the school seemed to have a large number of faculty and staff, most of them were actually support personnel.

The number of educators like them who are directly responsible for training the horse girls is actually very small. Not to mention the number of trainers, there aren't many teachers of academic subjects either, which is quite strange.

Central Tressen seems to adhere to the principle of using staff to the point of exhaustion as long as they don't die. The total number of teaching staff in cultural courses and training is probably less than three hundred.

Although the benefits of working at the central level were undeniably excellent, and the opportunity to witness the legendary horse girls running up close was certainly worth the price of admission, Sato still felt somewhat overwhelmed. After all, once she actually entered the industry, she discovered that those seemingly glamorous horse girls... could actually be quite annoying at times.

For example, the group leader in the next class, who is almost fifty years old, has a problem child in his class who is famous in Central Tereson. Sato vaguely remembers that the other person's name seems to be Dongshang Reform.

He skips class all the time, or he'll use his ridiculously overpowering wand to hit the old group leader on the head, calling it a sleeping spell.

Sato had to admire the old team leader's agility; even at nearly fifty, he could still leap and bound around the classroom like a young man, dodging the horse girl's pursuit.

If it were him, and he were to be dealt a blow by the changes at Dongshang, he might really fall into a deep sleep, a sleep that would last forever.

As for her colleagues, they were all extremely tense in the face of these adorable horse girls. One of Sato's senior classmates had three notorious troublemakers in her upperclassman class: Golden Ship, Nakayama Festival, and Sirius Symbol.

He couldn't decide whether to deal with these three troublemakers or not. If he did, he might get trapped in a sack and pranked on his way to work. If he didn't, these three were practically running a casino in his classroom, and they even had a business license. How was he supposed to attend class?

Finally, he had to find their trainers and tell them to take their horses back and not to bother him during his classes anymore; they should study on their own!

Anyway, they're all upperclassmen, and Golden Ship even repeated a year, so self-study isn't out of the question, saving him the trouble of worrying.

Sato breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her students were all relatively normal. Not only were there students like Sakura Chiyo and Mejiro Ardan, who had the air of young ladies and were in charge of the overall situation, but there were also students like Super Little Bay and Yae Invincible, who were excellent in both character and academics and cared about others.

Although I don't know why White Vanguard and Dark Howl are both a little afraid of Little Bay, overall, my class is still very good!

Today seems to be the day those three outstanding transfer students join my class again: Oguri Hat, Fujimasa March, and Shining Brilliance? I'm really looking forward to seeing how these three rising stars perform!

Whew, the winner of the Japanese derby? Luckily we arrived early today. We'll have to show these three transfer students the spirit of unity in our Class 3!

Thinking this to himself, Sato's mood couldn't help but brighten.

She hummed the tune of "The Legend of the Leaping Horse" as she pushed open the door to her classroom.

Good morning, everyone! How was your weekend...? Eeya!!!

Before Sato could finish speaking, a blackboard eraser flew over her head and hit the wall behind her with a loud crack!
