Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

"It turned out to be Trena." The Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly realized and completely let down his guard against Tang Han.

"Sorry, I doubted you just now..."

Tang Han stood up as if nothing had happened and waved his hand: "It's okay."

"Um.....what's Trena's name?"

"Ah...my name is Beidou Xingsi!" Tang Han said casually.

"Hokuto Seiji? So you're a boy?"

The Emperor of the East China Sea really couldn't figure out Tang Han's gender because his voice was androgynous and he used unisex words to refer to himself, so he couldn't determine Tang Han's true gender.

Tang Han nodded, then shook his head: "Maybe, maybe not."

In response to Tang Han's answer, a question mark appeared above the head of the East Sea Emperor: "Hmm?"

What does "maybe yes, maybe no" mean?

Tang Han did not explain.

Because he wants to hide himself, of course the less information revealed the better.

As we all know, feelings are developed through chatting.

If he continued chatting with the East Sea Emperor, Tang Han was afraid that not only would his past be exposed, but also that their relationship would inexplicably grow, which would put him in the Emperor's inner chambers. So, Tang Han ignored the East Sea Emperor's puzzled expression and turned away. "I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."

"Wait, Trena, let's add each other as friends." Seeing Tang Han was about to leave, the Emperor of the East China Sea took out a mobile phone from his pocket.

Tresen Academy has an official forum where both horse girls and trainers have accounts, can post messages, and can also add each other as friends to chat online.

Up to now, the Emperor of the East China Sea has not added any trainer as a friend, because she feels that the relationship between a trainer and a horse girl is like that of a husband and wife, and they cannot add each other casually, otherwise it would be no different from flirting.

Well, these are what she learned from her senior horse girls. Although most of them disappeared with their trainers in the end, the spirit they left behind has continued to influence the younger generations in the school.

But after all, Tang Han and she are both fans of President Rudolph, and he also gave her such a precious photo of the president, so the Emperor of the East China Sea made a slight exception today and took the initiative to add Tang Han as a friend.

Wouldn't they be able to chat about President Rudolph online all the time? It was exciting just thinking about it.

"Forget about adding friends. I didn't bring my phone with me today." Tang Han said without turning his head.

"But how am I going to find you next time?"

"Remember, my name is Hokuto Seiji, and I'm a Japanese girl. You can find me with these conditions."

"Miss Hokuto Seiji.....yeah, I'll remember that!"

Tang Han did not reply. His goal had been achieved. He turned around the corner and disappeared from the sight of the East China Sea Emperor.

The Emperor of the East China Sea looked in the direction where Tang Han left and tilted his head cutely.

"Miss Hokuto Seiji seems a little shy. I wanted to talk to her more about the president."

"And...her physical condition...isn't it a little too poor...or are all human bodies like this?"

The Emperor of the East China Sea seemed to have learned something that he shouldn't have known.

6. The system is a Babar

After Tang Han turned the corner of the teaching building and confirmed that the Emperor of the East China Sea could no longer see him, he relaxed, half-knelt on the ground, and gasped in fear.

"Hu...Hu..." Tang Han covered his chest and breathed in big gulps of fresh air to make up for the missing oxygen.

He only now dared to show the fatigue caused by running so hard.

A major rule of the Monster Book: Horse Girls must not be allowed to realize that their physical abilities far surpass those of humans, otherwise they will resort to violence to achieve their goal of being with the person they like.

Tang Han had just forced himself to suppress the disorder of his breathing and tried to speak short sentences instead of long ones, just to avoid exposing the fact that his physical fitness was not as good as Ma Niang's.

Once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

It was as if he was not facing a cute little girl, but a terrible monster. If he was not careful, he would die in the monster's belly.

However, Tang Han didn't know if his acting skills could fool the Emperor of the East China Sea. This was already his struggle for survival. If he couldn't fool him...

It seems... it's okay...

Because he gave the Emperor of the East China Sea the wrong information in the end, with the help of the doctoral suit that eliminates odor and reduces presence, as long as Tang Han does not take the initiative to contact the Emperor of the East China Sea, she will never find him.

It is truly commendable that Tang Han, with his cleverness and wit, completely got rid of the danger of entering the basement.

What's even more gratifying is that he also completed the task issued by the system.

.....

[Side Quest - The Emperor's Fangirl] Completed

Mission rating: E ​​(no bonus)

Reward: Doctoral uniform extended for one day

Suggestions: 1. Take off your doctoral uniform and let the Emperor of the East China Sea see your true face. This is the prerequisite for making friends.

2. Add the East Sea Emperor as his friend and change his profile picture to the same Rudolph symbol.

3. Show the Emperor of the East Sea your rich experience as a Uma Musume player and invite her to become your own Uma Musume

...

Looking at the system's task summary, Tang Han only wanted to say one thing: "System, you are a jerk!"

He finally understood the nature of this system. It seemed to be helping Tang Han, but in fact it was trying to harm him.

Tang Han had already noticed something when the side quest was inexplicably triggered. He began to have serious doubts when the photo could not be put back into the backpack and even stuck to his hand. Now the suggestion of mission settlement is completely confirmed.

This Babar system just wants him to go into the basement!

But what made Tang Han most angry was actually the system's third suggestion.

[Show the Emperor of the East Sea his rich experience as a Uma Musume player and invite her to become his designated horse girl]?

As we all know, the so-called rich experience of Uma Musume players is only krypton gold and gaming skills. At most, they only know how to match support cards and click buttons to train. This is experience in electronic games, but if they really want to train a horse in reality, they can be thankful if the horse they train can catch up with Ulala.

Tang Han had never even touched a horse, let alone had any experience in training horses.

The identity of a freshman trainer recruited by Tresen College was just assigned to Tang Han out of thin air when he just crossed over. In fact, he didn't have any knowledge about training horse girls at all. Asking him to become a trainer for the East China Sea Emperor, who dreams of being undefeated three times, is simply harming people... No, harming horse girls!

Tang Han would never do such a thing that would harm others and not benefit himself.

System: "Please don't worry, host. This system has been equipped with the relevant knowledge of "Trainers from Entry to Basement". The host can learn it on their own. This is not the kind of canned knowledge that is directly input into the brain. The host needs to spend time and energy to understand it on their own. No unearned gains."

Tang Han nodded: "I see, then I'm relieved... Wait, so you will reply?"

Tang Han suddenly discovered that in addition to simply assigning tasks, the system could now talk to him, but why hadn't it responded to Tang Han's questions before?

System: "This system will answer the host's question anyway, but you just didn't ask before."

Tang Han: “…”

The reason was so simple and sufficient that he couldn't refute it.

But Tang Han suddenly realized something and said, "But I didn't ask you just now. Why did you tell me there was a book to read? And it's this strange book called "Trainers from Entry to Basement". Are you sure you're not deliberately trying to trick me?"

"......" The system did not respond to Tang Han's soul's question, as if it was dead.

"?" Tang Han was stunned. This Babar system actually pretended to be dead and refused to answer his questions, and even said that it was not deliberately trying to trick him?

Tang Han gave a thumbs up: "System, you really are that."

"Ding... We have detected that the host has malicious intentions towards this system. We will now uninstall ourselves and take back the doctoral uniform from the host..." the system said coldly.

"!" Tang Han's face changed immediately when he heard that his doctoral uniform, which was his only guarantee of survival in this strange book world, was going to be taken back.

"Brother! Come on! I was really wrong!" Tang Han lowered his head humbly and made the classic Neon Smith Marseille apology gesture.

A real man can bend and stretch. Compared with being jumped by a horse, Tang Han felt that face was nothing.

Moreover, when he was looking at the task before, he seemed to have seen the warning "The system is not a system!", but that line of text was deleted within 0.5 seconds, leaving only "Please trust the system!"... So before finding out the true face of this Babar system, Tang Han planned not to alert the enemy.

"Beep... Detected the host's malicious disappearance, canceling the automatic uninstall. Please pay attention to your attitude towards this system in the future, otherwise this system is likely to automatically uninstall again."

"Keep that in mind."

After giving up his pride and appeasing the system, Tang Han stood up and poked his head out from the corner.

"The Emperor of the East Sea was not found. It seems that she has left."

Tang Han surveyed the area for a while and confirmed that there was no danger before he slowly walked out and headed towards the new student trainer team.

Junchuan Tezuna was still showing the new trainees around the academy and seemed to have not noticed that Tang Han had left the team.

That's right, he has a low sense of presence and he won't be discovered even if he deliberately hangs around in front of people. What's more, he was not near Surukawa Tezuna when he escaped from the East China Sea Emperor.

Tang Han slowly blended into the middle of the team, as if nothing had happened.

However, when Tang Han returned to the team, Junchuan Tezuna's nose twitched a few times, and then he looked in Tang Han's direction.

"Tang Hantrena, please don't run around. After all, running around in the academy is very dangerous."

"How did you know I was here?" Tang Han pointed at himself, unable to believe it.

How could Tsuna Sugawa see me so accurately? Shouldn't I be treated as air?

"Tang Hantelena, you have a sweet and fragrant smell, which is quite pleasant." Junchuan Tezuna covered his mouth and smiled.

"smell?"

Tang Han sniffed his body and found that there was indeed a sweet smell. Moreover, he suddenly felt his back was a little wet.

Tang Han touched it with his backhand and felt something sticky on the back of his doctoral uniform.

He recalled the cup of honey drink that was only a little bit left in the East China Sea Emperor's hand.

"Damn it! It's honey!"

At that time, in order to avoid bumping into Tang Han, the Emperor of the East China Sea jumped over from behind him, but the honey drink in his hand spilled out, causing his body to be contaminated with the smell of the outside world, allowing Ma Niang to smell his presence through the smell of honey!

But it shouldn't be a big problem, it can probably be washed off.

Tang Han: "System, this doctoral suit can be cleaned of honey, right?"

system:"......"

Tang Han: "System, this doctoral suit can eliminate the smell stuck on it, right?"

system:"......"

Seeing that the system was pretending to be dead again, Tang Han realized that something was wrong: "It's over!"

7. Sharing Session

Fortunately, Tang Han quickly went to the empty toilet and washed the dirty area. Even though the smell of honey could not be completely dispelled, it greatly reduced its impact on Tang Han's low sense of presence. As long as he did not stay in one place for more than two or three minutes, others would not notice him.

"Now, please move to the conference room. Senior members of the academy will share their experiences as trainers and their plans for the future. This is a very important meeting for every new trainer, so please be sure to attend."

Under the leadership of Junchuan Tezuna, Tang Han and other freshman trainers came to the academy's conference room.

Many senior trainers with mobility problems had been waiting here for a long time and began their sharing very seriously.

"New trainers need to understand their own limitations. I suggest you first serve as an assistant to an experienced trainer to learn relevant management skills. After a few years of study, it's not too late to find your own horse girl. This way, you can learn something and it's also less dangerous."

"If you think you're strong enough to be a horse girl without any training, don't make promises like 'I'll take responsibility if you don't succeed' to her. Otherwise, you'll harm not only the horse girl's future, but your own as well."

"Don't have too many horse girls. One is best, two is a bit of a stretch. If you have three or more, please report to the academy every day. If you go missing, the academy can find you as soon as possible."

"During your service, trainers, please refrain from entertaining or revealing any romantic thoughts. This doesn't apply to colleagues, trainers and ponygirls, or relationships between men and women, women and women, or men and men. Maintain your distance from everyone at all times."

"Don't take the initiative to invite Ma-niang to dinner unless she brings it up. Even then, find a way to refuse."

"Don't touch the head! Don't touch the horse's ears! Don't touch the horse's tail!"

"The bus that takes the male trainees to and from the dormitories every day can't carry everyone at once, so there will be a lag. New trainees, please be courteous and let the tired old trainees get on the bus first. Your courtesy will extend their lifespans. Thank you."

"The trainers' dormitory building requires an ID card to enter, so take good care of your ID card and don't lose it. Otherwise, not only will you be in trouble, but the other trainers in the same dormitory building will be in trouble as well."

"When you go to bed at night, remember to lock your doors and windows. If you hear the sound of doors being torn apart or colleagues screaming, please do not go out. Stay in your room and call the college security office as soon as possible. The college will dispatch relevant personnel to resolve the situation."

"If a horse girl confesses her feelings to you, please politely decline. Don't show any annoyance or surprise. Act dumb! You absolutely must act dumb! Once she leaves, apply for protection from the academy as soon as possible. If necessary, the academy will arrange for a secret resignation."

"If you're a handsome, sweet-talking, and subtly attractive male trainer who's obviously popular with the opposite sex, then resign immediately. It's not that we're ostracizing you, but you simply aren't suited to being here. If you insist on staying here, the dim basement is your only destination."

Tang Han: “…”

The sharing session by the senior trainers was relatively normal at the beginning, but then things started to get weird.
