The next morning.
After handing the training plans to Special Week and Oguri Cap, Shinji Kitahara began to slack off.
According to the typical interaction model between a trainer and a horse girl, after creating the training plan, his next step should have been to follow up on it. On one hand, he should supervise the horse girls to ensure they trained according to the plan and didn't slack off or blindly add extra training. On the other hand, he could further refine the training plan based on their actual performance.
But Shinji did none of that.
After handing over the plans, he just slumped down, exuding the strong aura of a salted fish.
Supervise their training? Not to mention that Special Week and Oguri Cap weren't his charges, even if they were, as long as they didn't ask for help, he wouldn't take the initiative to get involved.
Improve the training plan? There was no need. Perhaps it was due to his system, or some other reason, but his ability as a horse girl trainer was so strong it could be called abnormal.
He could even guarantee that, without any modifications, as long as these two strictly followed the plan he had created, by the time they debuted, apart from a very small number of particularly famous horse girls who might pose a threat, the other horse girls wouldn't even have the qualifications to compete with them.
Of course, if Special Week and Oguri Cap took the initiative to ask for his help, he would move. But for now, they didn't seem to have that intention.
As for his two charges, they were freer than free. If he took the initiative to offer help, he'd probably get kicked away.
But... wasn't this perfect?
Sitting on the edge of the training grounds, he pulled out his phone, a genuine smile gradually appearing on his face.
Although a lot of messy things had happened yesterday, and he had even formed a team by a strange twist of fate, the situation was still within his control. In fact, it was even better than before.
His two charges didn't need his management, and Special Week and Oguri Cap were quite obedient to him due to their experiences a few years ago.
In other words, although he now had a team under his name, not only did he not have to do anything, but he could also use this as an excuse to refuse recruitment from other horse girls and openly and righteously slack off.
This is the life.
He took out his phone, pretending to be supervising Tokai Teio's training, and watched the video he hadn't finished yesterday. Then, he opened a forum interface—the exclusive internal forum of Tracen Academy.
He had wanted to check it out ever since he got the URL from the other trainers yesterday, but various things had delayed him until now.
He clicked on it, registered, and after filling in all the information, he looked at the username field. After a moment's thought, he chose to use his real name.
After all, it was the school's internal forum, and the senior trainers had said the anonymity on it wasn't reliable. It was better to just use his real name to avoid leaving any dark history of embarrassing comments out of a fluke, which might explode one day. As for what to do if he wanted to post something he was too embarrassed to post under his real name... couldn't he just create an alt account?
Registration complete, he logged in. All sorts of posts slowly loaded.
The first column was, of course, the forum rules, followed by the Tracen school rules and student handbook, all pinned to the top.
Below the pinned posts were some popular threads. The one at the very top, with the highest popularity, was titled "Warning! Peeping Tom Discovered Near the Sacred Warehouse," with thousands of replies.
He clicked on it. As expected, it was the aftermath of the incident he had encountered last night. The post described the event in detail but omitted his name.
As he continued to scroll down, he had intended to see what the replies were, but he unexpectedly came across some interesting information.
'Sacred Warehouse' was the nickname the horse girls had given to that abandoned warehouse. The exact origin of the nickname was no longer traceable, but it was said that if a horse girl and a trainer could stay inside together for half a day, there was a high probability they would end up together.
Any horse girl or trainer who had been at Tracen for a while knew about this rumor, so inviting someone to the abandoned warehouse was basically equivalent to a confession. Sometimes, like around Valentine's Day, there were so many people who wanted to go that you had to make a reservation in advance to avoid conflicts.
After understanding why strange noises always came from that warehouse, Shinji took out a map and drew a big red cross over the abandoned warehouse.
Yep, danger zone. I need to stay far away from it in the future, and I absolutely must not take a horse girl there, let alone accept an invitation from someone else.
He put away the map, exited the thread, and continued to browse.
Perhaps because it was a public forum, the content on the Tracen campus forum wasn't as bad as he had initially expected. Most of it was serious discussions about horse girl issues, like tail care tips, the pros and cons of various ear cover brands, and some minor issues in training and racing.
But slowly, as he scrolled down, the style of the forum posts began to get weird.
'What to do if my family is forcing my trainer to go on a blind date? Is it better to ambush him on the way or just go with him?'
'Does any senior know where to rent a house with a basement? Urgent!'
'Love is a Derby! Teaching you how to be victorious on the battlefield of love!'
Looking at these titles, Shinji fell into deep suspicion.
Is Tracen really a horse girl academy and not some kind of matchmaking service?
And it wasn't just questions from horse girls. Many trainers were also consulting on various matters.
'Leg and foot massage and care methods'
'Requesting a few locations for a relaxing trip with my charge during the holidays'
'I heard that giving my charge my own worn clothes can keep her in a great mood. What's the principle behind this?'
Looking at these posts from the idiot trainers, Shinji couldn't help but sigh. He thought to himself, No wonder some horse girls can't control themselves. It would be an injustice if you idiots weren't jumped.
And that wasn't even the stupidest. There were a few more posts below like 'How to run away without being discovered by my charge,' 'My charge doesn't seem to know I have a fiancée, how do I remind her,' and 'My family is forcing me to go on a blind date, and my charge's expression was weird after I told her.' But after the original posters made their initial posts, there were basically no follow-ups.
Mm, brave soldiers, may you rest in peace.
Just as he was Browse through the posts of these idiotic trainers, reverse-engineering methods to maintain distance from his own charges, a new post suddenly popped up.
Within a minute of its appearance, it had dozens of replies and shot straight to the top of the popular list.
'Shocking! Tokai Teio actually chose a rookie trainer who just started!'
Shinji Kitahara: "..."
Seriously, don't you people have anything better to do? Why are you so concerned about what kind of trainer someone else found?
Although he was complaining internally, he understood that as a highly anticipated genius in the academy, Tokai Teio would naturally attract all kinds of attention. Especially since she had chosen a trainer like him who, at least on paper, was basically useless. The huge contrast would definitely cause discussion, and even arguments.
He clicked on it. There were some of his photos and information, but it was all stuff that could be found on the school's official website.
The replies below were basically all expressions of shock and regret, not understanding why Tokai Teio would do such a thing. Some were speculating whether he had some special relationship with Tokai Teio, or possessed some undiscovered special talent.
But overall, the majority of people did not look favorably on him. Out of hundreds of replies, only a single-digit number did not explicitly express disapproval.
However, what was interesting was that, unlike the reply situation in other posts, not a single trainer account had posted in this thread from beginning to end.
This might be because of what he had said earlier, but he felt it was more likely that those idiots were just enjoying the show and deliberately didn't say anything to clarify. They were probably laughing behind their screens right now.
Although the name 'Shinji Kitahara' was widely known among trainers, it was rarely heard among horse girls. Especially since he had never been active at the main Tracen campus before, and with the almost closed-off management of the school, the horse girls here were even more unfamiliar with the name. Even if he introduced himself, he would most likely be met with a 'Who the hell are you?' look.
And even the few who knew his name had basically only interacted with him for a short time and didn't know about all the messy things he had done elsewhere.
In other words, as long as those idiot trainers kept their mouths shut, basically no horse girl would know his specific situation.
This even included Tokai Teio. To this day, she still thought she had just randomly picked a foolish rookie trainer as a shield, completely unaware of his actual abilities and deeds, which had led to the current situation.
Looking at the post, where the number of replies was still increasing, he raised his head and glanced at Teio, who was still training by herself in the distance. He pinched his chin.
Why do I get the feeling that I dug a pit and then jumped into it myself?
But after a moment, he gave up thinking.
Ah, whatever. Why think so much?
Just slack off.
