I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"Well, I see."

After chatting for a while, Shinji Kitahara spent some time testing Special Week and then tested Oguri Hat as well. He said that she could come with Special Week next Monday to get the new training plan and the corresponding three new running methods.

After finishing with the Oguri hat incident, Kitahara Shinji thought about it and realized that he had done enough work that day. Moreover, the other two people in charge didn't need his help, so he prepared to take out his phone and start slacking off.

But as soon as he took out his phone, a small hand appeared and took it away from him.

It is a solar eclipse.

"Have you forgotten something?"

The eclipse looked at him calmly.

Shinji Kitahara maintained his smile, feigning ignorance, and said, "Really? I don't remember forgetting anything..."

But soon, under the watchful gaze of the eclipse, his expression gradually crumbled.

"Okay, okay, I'll practice."

He certainly remembered that he had promised Eclipse to resume the previous training plan, but he still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that he might be able to play dumb and get away with it.

But now that the solar eclipse has been brought up, he can no longer avoid it.

"Tell me, what is the target this time?"

Anyway, he's idle now, so if he gets more exercise, he'll be more secure in case anything happens in the future.

Seeing that he agreed, Eclipse glanced at the air in front of him and then began to list a long list of training content, the amount of which sounded rather exaggerated.

But Shinji Kitahara wasn't surprised. After all, they had already agreed to increase the training volume by half, and he had anticipated this situation. He quickly agreed and walked towards the training ground.

......

For some reason, Treson strongly encourages trainers to exercise, and even set aside a special training area for them in the training ground, right next to the horse girls' training facilities.

However, despite the good intentions, not many trainers actually come to the Tressen training ground to practice.

Studying, getting certified, socializing...

Data processing, planning, and dealing with situations where you're in a bad mood and need to find ways to cheer someone up, plus the occasional hospital stay due to various issues...

Not every trainer is as free as Shinji Kitahara. In fact, most trainers in Tressen don't have much free time to themselves.

Even when they have free time to themselves, trainers usually choose to rest and relax. After all, they are already tired enough from work. If they don't take the opportunity to relax from time to time, they will eventually be overwhelmed by the pressure.

Therefore, when Shinji Kitahara arrived at the training ground, there weren't many trainers there, and most of them were just there to fulfill his duties. Once he went in and started training normally, he stood out.

Being conspicuous means being noticed.

Not long after he started jogging, the four female horses in the training area (there was no Eclipse, but there was Grasshopper) noticed him in the trainer's training area.

"Trainer Kitahara, what are you doing?"

Little Chestnut Hat stopped beside him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Exercise," Shinji Kitahara replied while jogging.

"I know."

Oguri nodded, his expression even more puzzled: "But why do you need to train? Aren't you a trainer?"

"Trainers also need to exercise; a healthy body is the foundation of a healthy life."

Shinji Kitahara gave a casual reply, then gradually ran away.

Oguri had just finished a set of exercises and was about to rest when, after thinking for a moment, he decided to just stand there and watch Kitahara Shinji's workout.

Before long, the East Sea Emperor, who was a little tired from training, also came over and sat next to Little Chestnut Hat. He watched with great interest, holding a cup of honey drink in his hand.

After that, Special Week also curiously came over, and Grasshopper, who had been following her, sat down as well. The four of them, along with Eclipse outside the arena, watched Kitahara Shinji's training together, and chatted as they watched.

"You're running so slowly, is this really a good form of exercise?"

“Special Zhou, Kitahara trainer is a human, not a horse girl. Don’t judge him by our standards.”

"That's true, he usually eats very little."

"This is even less likely to be measured by your standards."

Hearing their conversation, Shinji Kitahara felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

Why does it feel like the relationship between him and them has been reversed? Shouldn't he be the one watching them train?

Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long.

Because after they rested for a while, they immediately started a new round of training and were unable to keep an eye on him.

Even so, when they passed by him during training, they couldn't help but glance at him occasionally, since trainers who could train on their own were really rare these days.

But as they watched and time went on, they slowly began to discover some problems.

When they were resting for the first round, Shinji Kitahara had just started running.

When they finished the second round, Shinji Kitahara was still running.

While they were resting for the third round, he was still running, and his speed even increased.

Although his running speed was pitifully slow compared to the horse girl, it was already quite good by human standards.

More importantly, he didn't stop until their third break; in fact, he slightly increased his speed while maintaining steady breathing and not sweating much.

Moreover, it wasn't just them; the other trainers in the training ground noticed Kitahara Shinji's unusual behavior even earlier, and many eyes were focused on him, filled with surprise.

How come this person is in such good physical condition?

Ignoring the stares, Shinji Kitahara finished his eclipse training and, without taking a break, began training for other events.

Although he was sweating more and more, his eyes remained clear.

This isn't the first time he's been training like this.

He had been wandering around ever since long ago, before he even found the eclipse.

After finding the solar eclipse, the frequency and number of times he wandered around increased dramatically.

Because the vast majority of his income was consumed by the solar eclipse, he rarely took a car in order to save money, and most of the time he traveled around by walking, the most primitive way.

The eclipse was alright; as a horse girl, walking and running were not difficult for her.

But Shinji Kitahara is just an ordinary human and doesn't have the same physical abilities as the horse girl, so he can only try to increase his leg strength.

The most basic method is, of course, exercise, but human stats are fixed, so no matter how much you exercise, you can only get very little results.

However, he did not give up. Although his base stats were what they were, he was not without other options.

For example, try to apply the running techniques of those female horses to yourself.

This idea came to him suddenly after he was tired from running. He just wanted to give it a try, but the results were unexpectedly good.

Breathing frequency, range of motion, running posture, muscle control...

Using his talent and experience as a trainer, he successfully tailored a set of specialized sports and training methods for himself.

Furthermore, as he grew up, this method continued to improve and was no longer limited to running. After a period of evolution, it was incorporated into every movement of his daily life, and now it is even trending towards becoming instinctive.

With this ability, although he is still no match for the horse girls in terms of strength, even a random horse girl could pin him down and he wouldn't be able to resist.

But in terms of endurance, agility, and reaction speed, let alone a random female horse, even if you brought Rudolph symbol over, he wouldn't be outmatched.

After completing several indicators in a row, he finally felt tired and sat down on a chair, his gaze falling on the four little heads that had been staring blankly at him for some time.

"I'm saying, how long are you going to keep going? Aren't you going to train anymore?"

Upon hearing his words, the four, including the Emperor of the East Sea, suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly ran away.

However, while training, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Hey, do you guys really think our trainer is human?"

"I think he and that supposedly alien golden ship might be from the same hometown..."

"Feel the same."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Uninvited Guest

Time slipped by quietly as they trained.

Perhaps because Treson had increased its vigilance, or perhaps for some other reason, in any case, the other side did not take any further action, and Kitahara Shinji's side also had no unexpected incidents, and the day passed peacefully.

After dinner, he was forcibly escorted back to his dormitory by the female staff. After taking a shower, he turned on his computer and was about to start writing the training plan, but before he could even open the software, he saw that there was an unread email from the chairman.

It was a mass message, detailing recent events on campus and mentioning that someone was targeting Treson, but the specifics were unclear. Trainers were advised to be cautious, etc.

This email was less of a notification and more of a reminder, because the trainers had already been sharing the news in the group chat shortly after Shinji Kitahara's attack yesterday, and were already aware of the situation.

Shinji Kitahara originally intended to close the page directly, but his gaze suddenly fell on the tattered, cheap suit on the sofa. After thinking for a moment, he sent an email to the chairman, asking if he could get an advance on a month's salary to buy a few outfits.

The chairman of the board quickly responded to him, and not only did he approve his request for an advance on his salary, but he also stated that it was Treson's mistake to let him be attacked at school, and gave him an extra workers' compensation.

The quantity was quite substantial, prompting Shinji Kitahara to exclaim that Treson was indeed incredibly wealthy.

In short, after these two sums of money came in, Shinji Kitahara's previously empty wallet quickly swelled up, and he even had the idea of ​​treating the younger members of the team to a meal.

But soon, he suddenly realized how terrible this idea was.

He quickly shook his head to clear the dangerous thoughts from his mind, then hunched over his computer and continued writing the training plan.

Silent all night.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Shinji Kitahara got up very early, then realized it was Saturday, so he pulled the covers over his head and went back to sleep.

Unfortunately, he hadn't been asleep for long when there was a knock on his dorm room door.

It is a solar eclipse.

"Don't forget to train today, but there will be much less content than yesterday. I'll send you the metrics via Line later, and you can do them when you have time."

As she spoke, she walked into Shinji Kitahara's dormitory, looked around the room, and then looked at him and spoke.

"It feels like you haven't tidied up at all, and it seems like a lot of things are missing?"

"Well, I didn't have much time to stay here on weekdays before, and I didn't have any money in my pocket. Today is a holiday, and I also got my salary in advance from the chairman. I was planning to go out and buy some things after I finished packing up."

Eclipse nodded: "Then I'll go with you."

"Of course, Rudolf said that I'm one of their key targets. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have dragged you there anyway."

Shinji Kitahara shrugged.

Being targeted is one thing, but life goes on.

Moreover, judging from the opponent's past performance, although they have indeed been trying to deal with Treson, the methods they have used have not been particularly outrageous.

Let alone deaths, there have been very few incidents of violence. Most of the time, it's just about surreptitious filming, collecting dirt on people, and manipulating public opinion.

As for that incident, it was supposed to be a sneak attack on him, followed by a staged attack by fans of the East Sea Emperor, in order to provoke conflict and guide public opinion. At most, he would have suffered some minor injuries, but who knew he would actually dodge it.

Moreover, logically speaking, after a failed ambush, the wisest choice for the opponent would be to retreat, and then 'accidentally' drop the doll of the Emperor of the East Sea along the way, thereby arousing suspicion and stirring up conflict and public opinion.

But who knew that the kid was a bit stubborn? After failing in his first attack, instead of running away, he insisted on fighting him head-on...

However, it was from her that the chairman extracted some information about the organization that called itself the 'Black Forest' and sent a copy to Shinji Kitahara privately.

Well, how should I put it, that captured child really didn't seem to be very bright.

Although she was quite capable in combat, she actually knew nothing about the specifics of the Black Forest and could only be considered an unofficial member.

Her reason for joining the Black Forest was very simple: she was simply attracted by their philosophy.

According to her description, Black Forest is an organization whose members are mostly horse girls. The reason they are targeting Treson is because they believe that although Treson appears to be a paradise for horse girls, it is actually a prison for them.

They believe that the reason why the horse girls are so obsessed with running is because of the ideology that Treson imposed on them in order to control them and make them feel at ease under Treson's control.

It's not just Treson; they also believe that the current support and reaction to the horse racing project is a form of psychological manipulation (PUA) against the horse girls, turning them into money-making tools for entertainment and appreciation, which greatly infringes on the horse girls' dignity and freedom.

In order to change this situation, the Black Forest first planned to overthrow Tresen, who stood at the top of this perception, and then set its sights on the popular figure in Tresen, the East Sea Emperor, and then on him as the East Sea Emperor's trainer.

Shinji Kitahara thought this was outrageous.

He just wanted to quietly coast along in Tressen for three years and then get by, so why does he always run into these kinds of messy things?

As for the Black Forest concept, Shinji Kitahara didn't think their understanding was wrong, but it was certainly not correct either.
