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

His lips twitched, and then he increased the force in his hand, pulling the token out of the old monk's hand inch by inch!

"Good strength!"

The old monk couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He stepped forward with his left foot and planted his right foot firmly in place, forming a stable triangle around his lower body.

Ornn's dragging was forced to stop; he dared not use too much force, lest he accidentally damage the token.

The two sides remained deadlocked for a while, until Ornn finally spoke first.

"Old bald monk, give me a price. What do you want?"

The monk remained calm and replied, "I don't need much, just the price of a PS5 game console."

Upon hearing this answer, Ornn first looked up at the statue of the three goddesses, then at the monk who was forcing him to buy something, and was speechless.

The old monk smiled shyly, then explained, "Of course, this is also within the permission of the three goddesses. I already reported my situation to them when I was reciting the scriptures this morning."

Orn sighed, took a wad of cash from his pocket, and handed it to the smiling monk.

Fortunately, he had exchanged some cash when he went to the hot springs with Uncle Satomi last time, otherwise he would have had a hard time getting away this time.

The old monk took the worldly items, counted them briefly, and then handed the two tokens to Orn.

"By the way, young man, do you know the identity of the horse girl you chatted with all night last night?"

Orn put away the token and asked疑惑地问道, "I guessed she was the horse girl from the Central Plains? What's wrong?"

The old monk smiled and nodded, saying, "Last night I consulted the three goddesses, and they said you two will meet again."

"And not long after."

Orn waved his hand and laughed, "Impossible. Under my arrangement, the probability of us parting ways forever is 1000%!"

After saying that, he walked out of the temple. The three girls in the chestnut hat had finished the training he had arranged, and it was time to help them relax.

"Hmph, farewell, is it..."

Watching the young man's confident departing figure, the old monk's lips curled into a strange smile.

"Countless heroes I've met back then have said similar things, even that 'Sword Saint' once uttered those boasts, but now... hehe,"

"The fact that he can tell lame jokes with the Emperor for so long means this kid has probably been on someone's radar for a while. Trying to escape? Even if my junior brother escaped to Alaska, wouldn't he have been caught and forced into marriage?"

"I just hope that next time he comes here, he won't be looking so pitiful, holding a child!"

The old monk sighed, then turned and went back into the temple.

Ornn's training continued for the remaining two days.

The targeted training in climbing stairs was indeed effective. When Ornn was repairing their knees with a hammer, he could clearly feel more and more "impurities" being removed from their bodies.

Even the newly radiant light seemed to grow even newer...

"Snapped!"

Orn quickly slapped his right cheek, then whispered to himself in a hypnotic tone, "I don't like corny jokes, I don't like corny jokes, I'm a normal person, I'm a normal person!"

Watching the trainer's strange behavior, Shining Radiance gasped, "Phew! Sure enough, my benefactor must have seen something unclean on the mountain, which is why he's hitting himself!"

"However, I've heard that children's urine has the effect of warding off evil spirits, so why don't we..."

Fujimasa gave the newly radiant head a slap in annoyance and said, "Orn must be thinking about our training content, after all, the time for the competition is getting closer."

"You agree, right, Oguri?"

Oguri nodded: "Yes, after all, the Youth Crown Tournament is about to begin."

"However, it seems Mr. Orn has other plans?"

Chapter 53: Declaring War on the May Championship! Declaring War on the Youth Crown! Declaring War on the Metropolitan Championship!

"You want us all to participate in the competition?"

On the way back, seeing the three puzzled looks on their faces, Orn explained, "It's like this, because all three of you are under my command, you can't participate in the same competition at the same time."

"So when one person is on the court, the other two are stuck on the bench, which is a huge waste of time,"

“It’s already May. If you want to catch up with the horse girls of the Central District, you need to accumulate more experience.”

Fujimasa immediately understood, and she continued, "Since we've already participated in the debut battle, we're qualified to participate in OP-level events in different regions, Orn, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, just as you said,"

Ornn pulled out his tablet and handed the pre-selected matches to the three horse girls sitting in the back seat.

"These are the races I've assessed based on my review of past Equestrian Girls' performances. Fujimasa March will participate in the Young Crown Tournament."

"As for Oguri Hat... after you finish any OP-level event, you might be able to try participating in G3-level events."

"G3!?"

The newly radiant light emitted a sharp, explosive sound, and she stammered, "Then...then isn't that equivalent to a competition on the same level as the East Sea Derby?!"

Ornn nodded, and continued, "Of course, the prerequisite for participating in G3 is that you can win the Youth Crown Tournament, and it has to be with an overwhelming advantage."

"Alright, let's get back to the point and choose your matches first."

Sitting in the middle of the three, Little Chestnut Hat curiously took the tablet, and the three began to look through the schedule Ornn had chosen.

"Um... my benefactor, I... I guess I should be considered your mentor?"

After seeing the race schedule chosen for her, New Glory asked with some doubt, "But why do I always feel like you're sending your beloved horse to its death?"

She excitedly pointed at the tablet and said, "Why are my race recommendations always for Tokyo or Tokyo Racecourse?! The horse girls in those two places are just too strong!!"

"If I choose Tokyo Racecourse... doesn't that mean I'll run into the horse girl from Central Treisen?! My savior!! I'll die!!"

Ornn nodded calmly: "Yes, this is the race I've decided is most suitable for you, Glorious, after careful consideration."

The newly radiant eyes became one big and one small. She leaned against the back of the passenger seat and asked uncertainly, "Benefactor, has my strength improved? Can I now hold my own against the Central Horse Girl?"

Orn thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "If it were Radiant, who had just enrolled, she would probably be instantly killed by the Central Horse Girl, right?"

"Right now, you should be able to last one round before being instantly killed."

“…”

The brand-new, radiant product deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping helplessly onto the sofa in the back seat.

Oh no! Our trainer has given up on himself! Is it too late to change trainers?!

Fujimasa glanced at Oguri, who was anxiously holding the brand-new Radiance and preparing to poke her philtrum again, and coughed lightly, saying, "Auen, I also think her schedule is too harsh. Shouldn't she start by selecting from local OP-level events, or even events below OP level?"

"After all, the regions are different, and the strength of the horse girls is vastly different. Radiant, she..."

"It's fine."

Orn shook his head, glanced at the rearview mirror above his head, and said to the brand-new Radiance, "Radiance, think carefully about what advantages you have over other Tokyo Mama Girls that you don't have. That's why I want you to compete against Tokyo and Kyoto."

"Your learning ability is quite good, isn't it? Not only in school subjects, but you also summarize experience from training much faster than others,"

"If that's the case, why not watch other people's matches and find a path that suits you?"

"After all, your learning speed surprises even me. Maybe you really are special?"

The ceiling for this new brilliance may not be high, but her floor is also very low... Well, perhaps the wisest choice is to let her continue to be active in the horse racing world as a support character.

But Ornn didn't see it that way; even the new radiance probably hadn't noticed it himself.

During the practice match, the look of resentment in her eyes when she fell behind others touched Ornn, strengthening his resolve to keep the new Radiance in the game.

After hearing the trainer's words again, the deflated balloon named "New Radiance" suddenly gained air and began to slowly inflate.

With her hands on her hips and ears twitching triumphantly, she said, "Since my benefactor thinks so highly of me, then I, Xinxin Guanghui, will not hold a grudge against you!"

"Hmph! So what if they're racehorses from Tokyo?! With my newfound brilliance on the field, I'll make sure they suffer a crushing defeat!!"

"Metropolitan Competition! Here I come!"

Hearing the noisy conversation behind him, Orn couldn't help but laugh.

Oguri ultimately chose the May Championship, a mile race held at Tokyo Racecourse, which was also the race with the highest potential among the options Orn had selected.

However, since she chose to bid in May, she wouldn't have time to participate in the Chukyo Cup, but she would have time to participate in the Fujimasa March.

While Ornn does have ways to relax, he'd probably get yelled at if he had to compete in so many matches in such a short time...

Oh right, once we officially start the competition, it seems we'll need to open a personal account for the girls to manage, since these girls also seem to be part-time idols?

So much has happened lately, I'd almost forgotten about it.

In addition to the personal MaTui account, there is an even more crucial issue that needs to be addressed.

"Come to think of it, we don't seem to have a team name yet."

Orn turned around and looked at the three horse girls in the back seat, asking, "So? Have you thought of any suitable names?"

Upon hearing this, the newly formed radiance was taken aback, then immediately raised his hand and said, "How about we call it the 'Great Demon King' team? After all, you, my benefactor, enjoy torturing pretty girls every day... Ouch! That hurts!"

Ornn withdrew his hand and looked at the remaining two, asking, "What about you two? Any good suggestions?"

Little Chestnut's ears twitched, and she tentatively asked, "Carrot burger steak? A Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"

Ornn complained, "I think it's not even as good as the [Pink Bunny] squad. At least that name can put invisible pressure on the other side."

"Maybe during the competition, we can even make the contestants laugh halfway through, which will create an opportunity for us to win!"

"And you? March, do you have any suggestions?"

Fujimasa thought for a moment, then said, "The Kasamatsu Squad?"

The brand-new, radiant figure replied sharply, "It sounds like the name of some Hollywood animated movie, it sounds so corny."

Looking at the three people exchanging bewildered glances, Orn sighed. It seemed he would have to be the one to choose the name again.

But come to think of it, I do have a name that suits my taste...

"Let's call it Doran. Our team will be called Team Doran."

Ornn's ears twitched back and forth, and his expression was quite strange when he said "Dolan."

It seemed to be a kind of nostalgia, or perhaps a sigh of regret.

However, Ornn quickly regained his composure.

The newly radiant figure lifted the seat Ornn was sitting on with its foot and nodded, saying, "Dolan, that sounds pretty good."

"Hmm? Come to think of it, my benefactor's name seems to be a foreigner's name, right? But you clearly look Asian!? Could you be an immigrant?"

Ornn held his head in his hands, comfortably resting his head on the back of the chair.

"Who knows? Maybe I'm a native Asian?"

Fujimasa asked curiously, "Asia? Orn, aren't you Japanese?"

"you guess?"

"Where is that from? China? The Philippines? Or Vietnam or Laos?"

"Hehe, take your time guessing, or I'll tell you when you've conquered Japan... no, conquered the world."

(Brand New Radiance cries out) "Conquer the world!? My benefactor, are you still asleep?!"

"Glory, you're so smart. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight."

"Hey! You're not allowed to sleep! You haven't answered our questions yet!"

Amidst the commotion, the vehicle departed Nagoya and headed towards the location of Kasamatsu Tressen.

Chapter 54 Qualifications

Back in Kasamatsu Tressen, the horse girls' lives returned to normal.

Of course, the sheer volume of training was still somewhat overwhelming for them.

"Glory! Here! He's about to cross the finish line! Come on!"

Little Chestnut stood at the finish line, waving her hands and beckoning to the bright new light fifty meters away.

"Wow!! Quack!! Ya!!"

The newly radiant light finally erupted with a series of strange syllables, and then began its sprint.

"Phew!! Ha... Oguri, where is our benefactor?"

Oguri handed her water and a towel, then looked towards the direction of Kasamatsu Tressen's gate and said, "It seems he went to discuss something, right? He told us to train on our own first, and then we'll talk when he gets back."

"Glory! Only six laps left! Keep it up!"
