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

"Ah! Tamamo! Don't bite me! I'm leaving!"

Chapter 120 My power as student council president is unlimited!

Watching the two figures gradually disappear from the office, Rudolf shook his head helplessly.

She looked at Orn and said somewhat apologetically, "For Tamamo-san, the thing she can't tolerate the most is people talking about her height."

Even if the other person didn't mean to mock her, she would still act that way.

Orn shook his head and laughed, "No, it's actually related to my own personality. I really didn't expect her to be so sensitive about this topic."

"Speaking of which, the president just explained the first two realms of entering the domain, so what is the third realm?"

Rudolf didn't answer his question immediately. Instead, he raised the newly written joke in his hand and said, "Hehe, the answer to this question isn't free, you know?"

"I've already seen the quality of this book of lame jokes, Trainer Orn. ​​If you want to know what the final realm of the domain is and how to train for it, you'll need to consume the entire book of lame jokes, right?"

Orn frowned slightly and argued, "President, this isn't right, is it? The rule we set at Longquan Temple was that you could get the answer to a question with a corny joke that would satisfy you. How come this question requires using up the entire book of corny jokes?!"

Rudolph, however, seemed to have anticipated Orn's rebuttal. She crossed her legs and leaned comfortably against the soft leather of the sofa.

He then smiled, pointed to his school uniform, and said smugly, "Hehe, Trainer Orn, you're mistaken."

"The one who made the promise with you at Longquan Temple was [Senior Ma who works in the central government], not [Student Council President Rudolf], okay?"

Orn stared wide-eyed at the two-faced, despicable emperor before him, his eyes wide with disbelief.

No way, sis, you can do that?

She continued, "So, now that I'm the student council president, I need to draft a new exchange tax law. Asking me about skills requires ten corny jokes, asking me about the college's rules requires five corny jokes, requesting a sparring partner from a student council member requires twenty corny jokes, and asking about any relevant field requires a whole book of corny jokes..."

Ornn slammed his fist on the table in indignation: "I protest against the above taxes!"

Rudolf twirled the newly compiled collection of lame jokes in his hand, closed his eyes, and casually said, "Protest against the above taxes! Deduct ten lame jokes as tax!"

Orn's calm expression finally faltered slightly. He glared at Rudolf, just as Tamamo Cross had glared at him earlier, and a brief silence fell over the office.

Rudolph didn't actually raise the price on purpose. Well, although she did, there was a reason behind it; it actually revealed her ulterior motives as the student council president.

Once Ornn arrives in the Central Region, he will inevitably have more interaction with her, making it easier to build a closer relationship with him and ultimately win him over to her side.

Rudolf reasoned that even if the other person tried to communicate with him by using a lame joke to provoke a question, she would still have the upper hand.

Not to mention that as a seven-time champion and current student council president, she possesses almost all the skills for leading and centering the race, and even has some knowledge of sand-based skills, leading skills, and chasing skills. Her knowledge base is more than enough to handle Ornn's questions.

Moreover, she could also cheat when Ornn asked her questions, breaking down the answer into the main answer and subsequent DLC to gain a larger bargaining chip.

With this ebb and flow, even if Ornn is a genius, he can't keep producing high-quality lame jokes to exchange for knowledge indefinitely. And when one of the trading parties runs out of stock, they'll need to pay with other things to obtain the goods.

What Rudolf wanted was to bind Ornn firmly to his side by bestowing a favor. Based on her observations and the conclusions of the investigation conducted by the omen symbol in Kasamatsu, this Ornn trainer was not the kind of person who would betray his own side or be ungrateful.

On the contrary, the saying "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven" is more suitable for this rookie trainer who is about the same age as him.

Rudolph believed that as long as Orn knew that he owed her a favor and that this favor held a great place in his heart, he could make the talented trainer favor her in Central Treson's life.

In his previous assessment, His Majesty the Emperor believed that Orn would never again make as many lame jokes as he did at Dragon Spring Temple.

So when Ornn said he would use jokes to get the answer today, she wasn't flustered at all, and even thought that her shrewd business was about to be a great success again.

But to her utter surprise, less than a month later, Orn pulled out a booklet containing nearly four hundred corny jokes!

Moreover, these jokes were of extremely high quality, to the point that she couldn't help but laugh at them after just one glance. This made it impossible for her to use the excuse of subpar jokes to trick Ornn.

More than 400 questions… Even someone as powerful as Rudolf couldn't help but feel despair at this number.

Rudolf originally wanted to engage in some kind of forced free trade with Orn, going back and forth and exchanging drinks in a very pleasant manner. Although he would gain a slight advantage, he could still say that he was doing business smoothly!

But Ornn's plan was to completely empty Rudolf's pockets in one fell swoop! To sever all ties and utterly destroy this trade contract that benefited Rudolf!

To be honest, when Her Majesty saw the booklet with four hundred questions and the smug smile on Orn's face, a sense of panic and worry arose in her heart.

But soon, this panic turned into rage. Rudolf, who had been in charge of the Central Student Council for several years, never expected that he would be driven to a dead end by a newcomer who had only been in the Central for three days and had only officially joined the Central for one day!

The emperor's majesty and the student council president's dignity prevented Rudolf from accepting this outcome. If he couldn't give Orn enough "favor," what if the guy repaid him in other ways and then they were even from each other from then on?

So she resorted to underhanded tactics.

If you just have a thick skin, you can just turn your back on people, right?

Seeing the emperor suddenly reveal his despicable nature, Orn immediately stood up and said, "Since Your Majesty is raising the price on the spot, then I won't ask anymore! Farewell!"

Rudolph, however, saw through his thoughts and chuckled, "Heh, is Trainer Orn looking to seek help from other horse girls who have entered the field?"

"Give up. They are all my people, and they won't tell you this secret without my permission."

Orn slammed his fist on the table in anger and shouted, "Is there no justice?! Is there no law?! Chairman! This business cannot be done like this!"

"why not?"

Rudolf said slyly, "Hmph, Mr. Orn, negotiation requires capital, and all the knowledge is stored in my head, so only I can make the rules."

"My power as student council president is limitless!!"

Chapter 121 Ten Questions

Looking at Rudolf sitting on the sofa with a sly smile, Orn could easily guess what the other was thinking.

He never really wanted to have much to do with the student council president. Their alliance against Morita Itsuki was merely a temporary measure; once the conflict ended, they would call it even.

After all, he remembered Shibasaki's instructions very well when he left Kasamatsu. Although Rudolf is currently at odds with Morita Itsuki and the Symbolist family, this is ultimately a matter within the Symbolist family's "family affairs."

If I have a close personal relationship with this chairman, and Morita Itsuki's problem is completely resolved in the future, and Rudolf Symbol reconciles with the head of the Symbol family, what will happen to me, an "outsider" who has a close relationship with Rudolf?

I'm afraid my fate will be just like Shibasaki said, completely bound to Rudolf by various agreements and contracts.

So, besides consulting on skills, Orn's main purpose in coming to the student council office this time was to make a statement: I can team up with Rudolf to deal with Morita Itsuki, but you can't use this to bind me!

⑸⑵⑹⑹⑸⑵⑵⑸⑴

In order to gather enough leverage to completely empty Rudolph's mind of all his knowledge, he brainstormed ideas on the Dolan Squad's official account and started a "Cold Joke Check-in" event. The fan with the most likes would receive a limited-edition autographed photo with the Dolan Squad.

It was precisely because of this event that Ornn was able to finally gather nearly four hundred freshly made, time-tested, and high-quality jokes.

He had originally planned that with four hundred questions at his disposal, he could not only inquire about all the skills but also about the blacksmithing masters. Orn hadn't forgotten what his hidden mission was; besides asking about skills, he also needed to consult with the blacksmithing masters.

Ornn even rehearsed his MVP dance moves on his way to the student council office. How could he possibly lose with this dragon rush? He simply couldn't imagine himself losing!

But he was still too young. Orn never expected Rudolf to turn his back on him so suddenly! Wasn't it said that horse girls were kind-hearted, innocent, and beautiful?! How come the horse girls he encountered were either cheating and slacking off in training, or deceiving and forming cliques, or geniuses who resorted to dirty tricks!

This is no ordinary horse girl; we have to deal with it head-on!

Although Ornn wanted to say that, he was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Just as Rudolph said, he was now in a position to rely on the other party, and with his lifeline held by them, Ornn truly had no means of resistance.

However... he had one last option, a method he didn't really want to use.

"President, you may have misspoke,"

“Not all horse girls who control a [domain] will necessarily obey your orders, right? Especially… horse girls from another large family.”

Orn reached into his hand and pulled out Megumi Asama's personal token. He waved it, and the token shimmered with a magnificent purple light in the afternoon sun.

Rudolph narrowed her eyes. As a candidate for the next head of the family, she naturally knew the significance of the token the other man held.

Orn continued, "The new rules set by the president are really too much. I can reduce the number of questions to ten or less, but in return, the president needs to answer the questions clearly and directly, instead of beating around the bush like he did at Longquan Temple. How about that?"

Rudolf glanced at the token, then at Orn, who had a sincere expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Of these 10 questions, I can only answer 6 of them, which are about skills. The question about the final realm of the domain is also included in these 6 questions."

"Furthermore, I cannot tell you some of the internal skills of the various families without their permission. If you agree, then begin asking questions."

After Ornn took the initiative to make concessions, Rudolf naturally followed suit, since Rudolf didn't want to turn the relationship into an enemy one, and Ornn was well aware of this.

Talking to smart people is so convenient; Orn smiled after hearing Rudolf's reply.

He nodded and said, "In that case, I would like to ask about the stamina recovery skills [Gluttony], [Artist of the Arc], and [Unyielding Spirit], as well as the hindering skills [Illusion Interference] and [Exclusivity]."

Rudolph pondered for a moment, then said, "The 'Artist of Arcs' is a family tradition of the Nase family, and not every horse girl can learn 'Possessive Power'."

"Orn, as an alternative, I can teach you the learning methods for [Cornering Recovery O], [Straight-line Recovery O], and [Binding]. Can you accept that?"

The "Artist of Arcs" skill is actually a family tradition of the Nase family? This was quite unexpected for Orn. ​​The reason he proposed learning these five skills was based on the notebook that Satomi Kazuki had given him, and the final result of his consultation in that trainer group.

At the time, a trainer in the group named "Rebellious Bay" said that if one needed to prepare for long-distance races in the future, they could learn this extremely useful recovery skill.

Ornn thought this skill was publicly available, but he didn't expect it to be a legacy of another family.

Furthermore, does learning the power of exclusivity really depend on the horse girl herself? This was the second thing that surprised him.

Orn nodded and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Guild Master. Let's settle the first five questions with these six skills."

Rudolph symbolically rose and went to the bookshelf in the office. She rummaged through it for a moment, then took out six booklets of varying thickness and handed them to Orn.

"These are the ways to learn skills, including some practice experiences I've summarized myself,"

She handed the six booklets to Orn and said, "Remember to return them to me after you're done using them. Also, you can't publicize these skills without my permission, especially in the public media. That would be against the rules of Central Treson, understand?"

"Next, you can ask four questions that are unrelated to your skills and field. After you have asked them all, I will tell you the final answer regarding your field."

Orn nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "I'd like to know what our school's schedule is for July and August? Other trainers mentioned that there seem to be several places to choose from for this year's summer training camp? Does the president have any recommendations?"

Rudolf nodded and said, "Yes, although it's not completely confirmed yet, there should be three training camp locations this year."

"These are the Uma Musume Training Base in the Okinawa Islands, Enoshima in Kanagawa Prefecture, and Wakkanai City, the northernmost city in Hokkaido."

“All three locations are actually quite good, but the training base in Okinawa is the oldest, the training ground in Enoshima is newly built, and the one in Hokkaido was recently renovated.”

"If you take everything into consideration, I recommend Wakkanai City in Hokkaido. It has the most training equipment and the best surrounding facilities, making it a great place for training and relaxation."

Orn then asked, "Then, my second question is, does the guild leader know any master craftsmen who can create the final battle suit? I'd like to ask about the final battle suit."

"The master craftsman who made the final suit?"

Rudolph thought for a moment, then wrote down a phone number and said, "This is a master who has a deep collaboration with the Symbolists. He and his apprentices have been making the Symbolist family's final costumes for nearly 60 years, and my costume is also one of his designs."

"His name is widely known outside, the most famous of which is 'General of the Six Warriors in Plain Clothes,' right? You can call him two weeks from now on, he should be available then."

Orn put away the slip of paper with the number on it, looked into Rudolph's symbolic eyes, and then asked, "Third question, President, will you work hard for the happiness of the students at this school?"

Rudolf smiled, her eyes shining with confidence, and calmly replied, "Of course, rather, I am working towards that goal."

Ornn laughed too. He still trusted the confident chairman who was now smiling more; at least he was much better than the previous chairman who had a sly grin.

He stroked his chin, thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "To be honest, can we postpone this fourth question for now? After all, I can't think of anything to ask right now."

Rudolf nodded knowingly and said, "Of course, but Trainer Orn, you can't ask about skills and domains, okay?"

"Next, we'll cover the knowledge related to the field. Rather than describing it in words, it might be better to let you experience it firsthand."

"Don't blink, this might be beyond your imagination."

The emperor placed a glass on the tea table in front of them, then picked up the teapot and poured all the tea into the glass until the water level was even with the rim.

After taking a deep breath, Rudolf held his breath and slowly raised his right hand, pushing it from his chest towards the cup full of tea.

Her movements were slow, like a paralyzed patient recovering from a long illness getting up and walking again. If someone else had seen the once incredibly dignified president doing this, they might have burst out laughing.

But Ornn didn't laugh. On the contrary, his eyes widened involuntarily in surprise, and his whole body tensed up.

The tea in the teacup in front of me began to ripple, then the ripples grew larger and more intense, eventually boiling over.

The tea has been boiled.

A few beads of sweat appeared on Rudolf's forehead. Just as she was about to touch the cup, she abruptly withdrew her right hand, and the boiling water inside instantly calmed down.

Apart from Ornn's gaping mouth and the water droplets spilled on the coffee table, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 122 Pretty Derby: Shadows Die Twice - A Hell of Cold Jokes

"This is... the final realm of the domain,"

“I call it ‘spirit,’ which means the soul of the body. There are no more than five people in all of Japan who can do this.”

"Even I only achieved enlightenment when I was attacked by twelve horse girls who had opened their domains at the same time during the Dream Cup."

Rudolph shook her somewhat weak hand; even for her, unleashing this final power would be extremely taxing on her physical and mental strength.

Ornn closed his mouth with his hand, his two eyebrows arching upwards and downwards to form a W shape.

It's no wonder he was surprised. After all, although he could manipulate fire remotely with the power of the hammer and break through steel, that was because Ornn knew who he got the hammer from.

Before Rudolf displayed this almost magical power, he had always thought that Ma Niang was just a special human who was slightly stronger than ordinary people, and at most knew some kind of special skills like the Nine Yin White Bone Claw or the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Although they glow when they run, although their strength can sometimes be more than three times that of humans, and although they possess the strength to penetrate steel plates, their bodies still feel soft and delicate to the touch.

Ornn still treated them like children, but judging from Rudolf's behavior just now, these children might be able to capture and refine him in an instant. This forced him to re-evaluate the existence of the horse girls.

He asked hesitantly, "President, are we sure we haven't wandered into the wrong film set? This seems to have entered the realm of martial arts films, hasn't it?"

"Martial arts? You know that many of Hong Kong's martial arts stars are played by Ma Niang, right? Some of the flying and wall-climbing stunts might actually be real, you know?"
