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

Not only that, her waist, abdomen, thighs, calves, and even all the controllable muscle groups in her body were in a state of tension.

She hadn't experienced this wonderful feeling since the Japanese derby a month ago!

As Oguri Hat felt her body, she looked up at Orn and said, "I can feel all the muscles in my body becoming active. If I continue training, I might be able to increase my strength significantly in a very short time!"

"Maybe...maybe as many as the city walls I built in the cafeteria before!"

At this point, Oguri looked at the purple handle she had just gripped with some frustration and said, "But I don't think I can hold it for very long right now. If I were to maintain the same standard posture as Torena, I probably couldn't even last ten seconds."

Orn smiled and comforted him, "It's alright, you'll get used to it. This thing is extremely efficient for training, but its usage time is probably limited to about a week."

"Many things should be done in moderation. While improving strength and willpower, we also need to take speed and endurance training into account. We will change our training method after a week."

Looking at the relaxed-looking Ornn beside her, Xin Guanghui complained, "My benefactor, even Xiao Li couldn't last ten seconds. I think I'll die if I use this thing!"

Ornn glanced at the somewhat thin figure of the newly formed Glorious and nodded, saying, "Indeed, so if it's you, Glorious, let me see where you can grip it."

He stretched out his finger and moved it towards the purple pole that Little Chestnut Hat had just grabbed. After passing through red, orange, yellow, cyan, and green, Orn hesitated for a moment, and finally pointed to the inflatable swimming ring next to the tire tower, which was left behind by some horse girl, and said, "How about... you use this?"

"Don't worry, with my improvements, this inflatable swimming ring should also be effective."

"Well, I should."

From Ornn's words and actions, the newly radiant woman felt inexplicably humiliated. Her face flushed red, and she clenched her fists, saying, "This is outrageous!! Since my benefactor looks down on me so much!! I'll prove my strength!!"

As she spoke, she roused herself and stood up from the beach!

At this moment, the brand-new brilliance, with the fierce attitude of someone about to step into a boxing ring, marched toward the Tire Tower with a death-defying spirit!

Orn clapped and said, "Good! Glory! We've come a long way from the sword and spear battles of local competitions, so let's not lose face!"

Fujimasa nodded and said, "Cheer up!"

Little Chestnut Hat spat out the sand he had just swallowed and encouraged, "Pfft, well done!"

Megumi Ardan also said, "Just now!"

With a resolute gaze, Xin Guanghui nodded. Then, the deer-haired horse girl gathered her strength in her dantian, her eyes flashing with a sharp light, and shouted, "凸(艹皿艹)!"

He reached out and grabbed... that green handle!

Ornn: "......."

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Shining Radiance glanced guiltily at Orn before quickly focusing her gaze on the green handle in front of her.

"My benefactor... why are you looking at me like that? I had no choice!"

She said, seemingly resigned, "Since we're already at the bottom, no matter which way we go, it's upwards! What's wrong with me trying this green one?!"

Having said that, she mustered all her strength and reached out to grab the long green pole.

"Wow!!!"

For a mere instant, she reacted in the same way as Oguri Hat, but it seemed that the green pole was indeed not very effective; even the brand-new radiance could barely withstand the pulling force of the tire tower.

After a tense standoff lasting several seconds, she finally collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Orn handed her the water bottle beside him and said, "How is it? This thing is pretty helpful to you, isn't it?"

"Phew...it's really effective!"

Shining brightly, she gulped down the bottle of ice water, wiped her mouth, and said confidently, "Hmph! Just you wait and see, benefactor! I'll definitely grab the yellow handle within this week!"

"I'm not some useless coward who needs a swimming ring! I'll definitely make you, my benefactor, look at me in a new light!"

Orn nodded and said, "That's really impressive, keep it up (in a monotone tone)."

"My benefactor! This is so insincere! At least change your expression and tone!!"

Ignoring the noisy new brilliance, Orn said to Fujimasa March, "March, try the yellow handle. If you can last twenty seconds, switch to the orange one."

"The same goes for Oguri. Start with orange, and if you can last for twenty seconds, then switch to red, and then purple."

"You don't need to be too anxious. We will still use this tire tower frequently during this summer vacation, of course, after the next phase of training is over."

"Rest when you're tired. Don't push yourself too hard. If you feel like there's something wrong with your body, tell me. Don't keep training without saying a word, understand?"

Fujimasa nodded, and after Orn finished speaking, she immediately went to the tire tower and began training.

Of the four members of Dolan's team, Fujimasa's personality is most similar to Ornn's, and he has also begun to focus on training efficiency.

Orn then looked at Megumi Ardan beside him, beckoned her to sit under a coconut tree, and asked with a smile, "Ardan, you don't seem curious about my training plan for you?"

Meguro Aldan smiled and said, "Because I believe Mr. Orn will come and explain to me, so I'm not in a hurry."

"Yeah....."

Orn sighed, reached behind him and pulled out a hammer, saying, "Then let me tell you about your arrangements. Your training for the first week will be different from Xiaoli's and the others; it will mainly focus on rehabilitation training, which is light speed and endurance training."

"If there are no problems with the recovery, then you can join Oguri and the others for speed training in the second week, and the training plan after that can be carried out in the same way."

Megumi Ardan looked at the hammer in Orn's hand with some curiosity. She blinked and asked, "Mr. Orn, are you going to use the same method you used on Oguri and the others before?"

Yes, just as you guessed.

Orn nodded, then reached out and pressed his hand on the other man's knee, saying, "Your legs might feel itchy or have some kind of irritating sensation later, so be prepared."

"Then I'll start."

Having said that, Orn gripped the hammer in his hand and gently tapped Megumi Ardan's knee.

To his surprise, aside from keeping his eyes tightly closed and his cheeks puffed out, Ardan Megumi didn't make any strange noises, nor did his legs show any stress reaction.

However, as a blacksmith and part-time doctor, Ornn actually prefers patients like this. Although she may have a rosy complexion, furrowed brows, and tense legs, as long as she doesn't scream and yell like Glorious, it's already a very lucky thing.

'It seems they're still struggling to endure it; I'll finish this quickly then!'

Having made up his mind, Orn continued his rapid tapping of Ardan's legs.

"Mmm!"

Ardan Megumi finally couldn't take it anymore. When Orn wasn't striking her legs quickly, she could endure the deep, bone-chilling stimulation between her leg muscles.

But once the speed increases, even the most determined person would find it difficult to endure such torment.

Pain is not the hardest thing to endure; the kind of pleasure that comes from the depths of one's heart is the hardest thing to endure.

It took Oguri and his two companions almost a month to get used to Orn's strange way of hitting, but Megumi Ardan was experiencing such stimulation for the first time.

Moreover, Orn's hands remained in close contact with her calves; the rough texture of his hands rubbed against the girl's delicate skin, making her nerves even more sensitive and her thoughts even more confused.

Finally, after he had essentially completed his first nursing task, the girl opened her mouth slightly, reached out her hands, and tightly grasped Orn's shoulders.

Aldan's eyes were tightly closed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

She said in a soft, sweet voice, "Mr. Orn... this... this is really unbearable..."

"Could you... slow down a bit?"

Chapter 154 She's Going to Eat the Horse!

"Aldan? Are you alright? Your face is so red, are you suffering from heatstroke?"

Orn quickly put down his hammer. The situation that had happened to Aldan was something that had never happened to Oguri and the others. Could it be that his method of strengthening muscles and bones had an allergic reaction?

Aldan Megumi opened her eyes. Looking at the sincere concern on Orn's face, she shook her head helplessly and said, "No, I didn't have heatstroke. It's just that Mr. Orn's actions were a bit too stimulating."

Orn explained, "Sorry, I was tapping my legs at the same speed that Oguri and the others are doing now. If I had gotten used to it beforehand, the stimulation wouldn't have been so intense."

"Come on, Aldan, get up now and try walking around. See if there's any pain in your legs anymore."

Aldan got up as instructed. She first walked back and forth in place, then hopped on her tiptoes, and then ran around the coconut tree.

"Amazing... Mr. Ornn, I even feel healthier now than before I was injured!"

As Aldan watched Orn hang the hammer back behind his back, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why didn't you use the current treatment method on my legs back at school?"

Orn shook his head and said, "I couldn't treat you back then either. Do you remember when you first came to the playground to see me, didn't I also give you a diagnosis?"

“At that time, you still had a slight crack in the middle of your right shinbone fibula, and the muscle tissue had not fully healed. Under these circumstances, I dared not use this method to treat you directly,”

He pointed to Aldan's feet and said, "You must have felt it by now. What I just did to you was less of a 'healing' and more of a 'strengthening' to consolidate your foundation."

"That hammer massage method requires that Ma Niang's legs be in a healthy state before it can be performed. With each hammering, Ma Niang's legs can withstand more pressure, and their flexibility can also be increased,"

"But if the horse girl's legs have cracks, then my beatings will only be the death knell for her racing career,"

"This is like building on top of a building where the foundation hasn't been laid yet. The higher you build, the greater the risk. Even if she gets better in the short term, the accumulated problems will eventually come to a head."

Orn sat under the shade of a coconut tree and said finally, "That's why I'm starting to give you a massage now, because your legs are almost fully recovered, Aldan, and you can withstand my tapping."

Ardan nodded knowingly. After Orn's explanation, she understood why Orn had only allowed her to do some rehabilitation training on the sidelines at school.

She stood on tiptoe and asked, "Mr. Orn, does that mean that Ma Niang can only receive your treatment when her previous injuries have almost healed?"

Orn nodded: "Yes, that makes sense."

"Aldan, from what you're saying, you want me to use this method to assist your friend's treatment?"

The blue-haired girl chuckled softly, "Yes, I do have that idea, Mr. Orn. ​​I wonder if you could...?"

"Yes, of course."

Orn said casually, "Although I'm the only one who knows this method right now, if any horse girls need help, I certainly won't hesitate to share this skill with them."

"Even if the other party is a competitor from the same year as Oguri and the others, I won't hold back. If I'm not mistaken, Aldan, your friend should be Sakura Chiyo, right?"

Meguro Aldan nodded, then hesitated and said, "But, Mr. Orn, isn't doing this... helping our future enemy?"

"Yes, that's true, but I don't care."

Orn glanced at the little chestnut hat not far away, which was opening its mouth as if wanting to taste the tire, and at the brand-new brilliance and Fujimasa March, which were struggling with the green and yellow handles.

He laughed and said, "More importantly, they don't really care. When I became a trainer, I told them that if they want to run, they can run; if they don't want to run, they don't have to. The most important thing is whether they want to do it and whether they are willing to do it."

"Oguri and the others must also be hoping to compete against opponents who are at their peak. If the opponent has any old injuries, such a victory would not be perfect for either side."

"Although you haven't officially joined Dolan's team yet, what I'm saying applies to you just the same way. If you want to compete against Oguri and the others again, you're welcome anytime."

"If you avoid fighting or fix matches because you're afraid of losing or to maintain a so-called undefeated record, and thus lose sight of the essence of the game, I think that's putting the cart before the horse."

Ardan looked at Orn, but Orn's gaze was gentle as he looked at Little Chestnut Hat, who had been chewing on it and had a mouthful of black grime not far away.

A sea breeze carrying the scent of dampness blew by, and the tops of the coconut trees behind them began to rustle. Accompanied by the occasional sounds of playful laughter from afar, Orn, under the shade of the trees, revealed a rare expression of contentment.

"If everyone had Mr. Ornn's magnanimity, perhaps there wouldn't be so many ugly things happening on and off the field?"

Ardan sighed, "It seems I should try to emulate Mr. Orn's mindset..."

"Hey! Don't copy me! My kind of thinking is something that casual fans despise—it's all about lacking motivation, ambition, and interest. You can't just copy that!"

"If you make those kinds of remarks in public, you'll be branded as a moralist who talks nonsense all day long! Not only will your fans attack you, but the head of the Asama family will also say that I've corrupted you!"

Ornn braced himself with his hands on the ground and sprang to his feet with a somersault.

He waved his hand and said, "Most people still care about their reputation and pay attention to material things. The main reason I can set these requirements for Dolan's team is because I have the right to say these things."

"Even if they don't want to run anymore, get tired and want to retire, I can still cover their expenses for the rest of their lives,"

At this point, Orn glanced at the little chestnut hat who had started chewing on the tire, then hesitated and said, "Okay, it should keep things going for a while. If it really doesn't work, I can always go out and perform. That's why I'm confident enough to say that if they don't run away, they can stay in my house and eat and drink for free."

“You’re different from Xiaoli and the others, Aldan. You have a fire burning inside you, even though you usually appear to be a very quiet and gentle person, like a vast and calm lake.”

"But I could sense that beneath that lake lay subterranean fire powerful enough to scorch a person,"

Orn turned to look at the girl beside him, staring into her purple eyes, and said, "Since the Asama family head has asked me to guide you and become your second trainer, I will naturally do my best."

"If you want to prove yourself, then go ahead and prove yourself. If you want to pursue the honor of surpassing your sister, then go ahead and pursue it. Dolan's team and I will support you from behind."

Ardan chuckled softly, then shook her head and said with a smile, "Mr. Orn is still the same as when we first met, using such sharp words to describe others. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Conscience? Haha, if I didn't have a conscience, wouldn't I feel no pain!"

Ornn laughed, but before he could say anything more, a panicked cry came from beside the tires.

"Ugh!! Oguri! Shut up!! I'm not a hamburger!!"

"My savior!! Come quick!! Xiao Li seems to be delirious from hunger!!"

Ornn quickly looked towards the tire and saw Little Chestnut Hat pouncing on New Glorious like a hungry tiger, while Little Deer Hair, pinned beneath her, was desperately resisting.

Fujimasa was trying to help by pulling on Oguri's shoulders, but Oguri's strength was still too great. Even with the combined efforts of the two of them, it was difficult to subdue her.

Seeing the critical situation, Ornn quickly pulled a special energy bar from his pocket.

He threw it at the brand-new radiance, shouting, "Radiance! Stuff this into Little Chestnut's mouth!!"

Shining Radiance glanced at the stick lying beside her and questioned, "Is this even useful?! This thing is only the length of a finger!!"
