After coming out of the Chairwoman's office, Shinji Kitahara looked as if he had lost all will to live.
Tokai Teio, Symboli Rudolf, Grass Wonder, Agnes Tachyon...
In less than a week of employment, he had managed to provoke almost all of the most dangerous horse girls in Tracen, and three of them had even joined his team.
The only one he hadn't provoked, Satono Diamond, was only because she was still studying at the Satono family's private school and hadn't transferred over yet. So even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
But looking at the pile of horse girls on his team, Shinji had a feeling that it was better if she didn't come. If she did, she would probably get involved with him too, and then maybe even join his team.
Do I have some kind of horse girl catnip constitution? But catnip shouldn't only attract the dangerous ones.
However, Shinji didn't stay sad for long. After all, what's done is done. No amount of complaining would change anything. It was better to calm down and think carefully about his next move to increase his chances of surviving these three years peacefully.
No sooner said than done.
After calming down, he began to analyze the current situation and found that it wasn't too bad.
First, the student council president, the emperor of Tracen, Symboli Rudolf. Although they had had contact, they were currently in a negative affection state, which was very safe.
Next was Tokai Teio. Although she was under his name and had been quite active in the team recently, it was ultimately because of her cheerful personality. He had also avoided any events that could raise her affection so far. Right now, they had a pure, monetary relationship, which was within the safe zone.
As for Ms. Grass Wonder, that goes without saying. He had never been so grateful for the yuri attribute in his life. Although it might be a bit unfair to Special Week, at least he was safe.
And finally, Oguri Cap. There was even less to worry about. That child basically had no concept in her head other than eating, and she was very stable in every aspect. She was currently the least threatening existence on his team.
So, by this calculation, so far, the only dangerous horse girl who was interested in him personally was Agnes Tachyon. He just had to be a little more vigilant around her.
As for Special Week? There was no need to count a combination of a simpleton and an idiot, thank you.
Thinking this, Shinji couldn't help but glance at Tachyon, who returned his gaze with a smile. "What's wrong? Trainer Kitahara... no, Trainer."
She maintained her smile and continued, "Are you thinking of testing my stats first? There's no need for that. I have very precise data here."
As she spoke, she took out a stack of documents from the pocket of her white lab coat and handed them to Shinji.
Shinji didn't refuse. After all, if he could save himself the trouble, he wouldn't want to go through it. But after flipping through a few pages, he frowned at the content and analysis displayed in the data. After a few more pages, he simply stopped looking.
Seeing his reaction, Tachyon showed a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, Trainer? Can't you understand it?"
"No, I can understand it." Shinji shook his head, then waved the data in his hand. "But this data is wrong. It's even very far off. It can't be used as a basis for training."
"Impossible."
When it came to her area of expertise, Tachyon immediately became serious. "These are the results of my repeated tests and calculations. There's no way they can be wrong. If you really can't understand it, I can explain it to you."
"There's no need for that. I can point out a few obvious deviations for you right now."
As he spoke, Shinji pulled out a sheet with a simple human body diagram from the data, then pointed to a spot on the upper left of the right knee and showed it to Tachyon. "Follow me and do this movement."
After speaking, his right leg bent slightly, then tilted to the side, making a somewhat strange but not difficult movement.
Tachyon didn't know what he was up to, but since she had chosen him as her trainer, she had to follow along. She just thought to herself that this person seemed to be even more ill than she had previously thought—
"Hiss—"
A sharp pain interrupted her thoughts.
The moment she completed the movement, a piercing pain shot out from the spot Shinji had marked earlier, accompanied by a severe sense of weakness.
"See?" Shinji said with a look of having expected this all along. "I'm not saying the data is wrong. In fact, I like to use data to speak most of the time. But the premise of relying on data is that you at least have to be able to confirm the accuracy and reliability of the data you're relying on."
The pain was intense, but it came and went quickly. A few seconds later, Tachyon's expression returned to normal, but her eyes held a hint of confusion. "How did you figure that out?"
"It's simple. I used my eyes." Shinji shrugged. "I know you probably won't believe this explanation, but I'm telling the truth. If you still don't believe me, I can point out a few more wrong places for you."
"...No need."
Tachyon knew very well in her heart that the movement was an unconventional but occasionally used running motion during turns. It was just that because it wasn't used often, she hadn't included it in her tests. Without Shinji's reminder, although the probability was low, if she had used that running form on the racetrack, according to what had just happened, there was a ninety-nine percent chance of an accident. At best, she would lose the race. At worst, she could fall and break a bone, or even be trampled by the horse girls behind her who couldn't stop in time, leading to a more serious situation.
After confirming this, her gaze towards Shinji held a bit more interest and surprise. She thought to herself, no wonder Tokai Teio would choose him as her trainer. It seemed he really had some skills.
"Then, Trainer, are we going to do the test now?" she asked.
But when Shinji heard her words, he immediately shook his head firmly. "No. We'll wait until Monday."
"...Why?"
Shinji said matter-of-factly, "Because it's the weekend."
What a joke. How could a slacker like him work overtime on a holiday?
It was true that the trainers at the main Tracen campus were all incredibly competitive. Forget weekends, they would even choose to train with their charges on statutory holidays, and even annual leave, in an attempt to use more effort and sweat to achieve victory—though it might also be forced. This was also why, although Tracen had plenty of holidays and very relaxed regulations on work and rest, the trainers were still busy every day and didn't even have time to exercise.
But what did that have to do with him, Shinji Kitahara?
He had come to Tracen from the very beginning with the attitude of just getting by and earning a salary. He didn't have a great desire for victory or fame. Being able to get through these three years safely, trying to avoid a shattered pelvis and unlocking the permanent residency of the basement was already his ideal life.
As for his attitude towards the job of a trainer, he wasn't disrespectful. After all, no matter how much he slacked off, he still had to do what needed to be done, at least to be worthy of that salary. But other things, like internal competition, voluntary overtime, or getting into an improper relationship with his charge and getting himself into trouble—these were things he would absolutely not touch.
So he very bluntly refused Tachyon's request for a test and prepared to go out and buy things as originally planned.
Tachyon, who had been refused, didn't get angry. In fact, the interest in her eyes grew even stronger.
Actually, if Shinji hadn't refused her last time, she really wouldn't have come looking for him today. In the infirmary, she had only thought that this person was different from ordinary people and was a rare experimental subject, so she wanted to pull him under her name to use as a guinea pig for testing potions. But after being refused, she became even more interested in him and, after completing the experiment at hand, began to look up and pay attention to information related to him. The more she looked, the more incredible she found it.
But now, based on the abilities he had just shown, she suddenly found that he might be much more interesting than she had imagined. So much so that all the information she had learned so far might just be the tip of the iceberg, making her even more interested in him.
Blinking her red eyes, she propped up her chin and said with great interest, "I also need to go out and buy some things. Why don't we go together—no, never mind. I just remembered I have something else to do."
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly saw Eclipse on the side and immediately changed her words. Although she was very interested in Shinji, it looked like the young couple was going out on a date. She wasn't so tactless as to intrude.
Shinji also noticed her gaze and could probably guess what she was thinking. But he had no intention of explaining. After all, this woman was too dangerous. He didn't want to spend a second longer with her than he had to.
But...
"We're not in that kind of relationship."
Eclipse suddenly spoke up, looking at Tachyon and said seriously, "And I'm worried he'll make a move on me on the way. If you're not particularly busy, could you come with me?"
Shinji Kitahara: "...?"
Wait, how do you have the nerve to say that?
