Time quietly passed as they each focused on their training.
Perhaps because Tracen had strengthened its security, or for some other reason, the other party did not take any further action. Shinji's side also had no accidents, and the day passed peacefully.
After dinner, he was forcibly escorted back to his dorm by the horse girls. After taking a shower, he opened his computer, preparing to start writing the training plans. But before he could even open the software, a notification showed that he had an unread email from the Chairwoman's office.
It was a mass email, detailing some of the recent incidents on campus, and then pointing out that someone was targeting Tracen, but the specific situation was still unclear. It asked the trainers to be careful... This email was more of a reminder than a notification, because not long after Shinji was attacked yesterday, the trainers had already shared this information in their group chat and were already aware of the situation.
Shinji was originally going to close the page directly, but his gaze suddenly fell on the tattered cheap suit on the sofa. After thinking for a moment, he sent an email to the Chairwoman, asking if he could get a one-month advance on his salary to buy a few new sets of clothes.
The Chairwoman quickly replied. Not only did she approve his request for an advance, but she also stated that it was Tracen's fault that he was attacked at school and gave him an additional work injury allowance. The amount was quite substantial, making Shinji marvel at Tracen's wealth.
In any case, after these two sums of money were credited to his account, Shinji's originally empty wallet quickly swelled up. He even had the thought of treating the little ones on his team to a meal. But he quickly came to his senses and realized what a terrifying idea that was.
He quickly shook his head, throwing the dangerous thought out of his mind, and then bent over his computer, continuing to write the training plan.
The night passed without a word.
...
The next morning.
Shinji Kitahara woke up early, then realized it was Saturday, pulled the blanket over his head, and went back to sleep.
Unfortunately, he hadn't been asleep for long before there was a knock on his dorm door.
It was Eclipse.
"Don't forget to train today either. But the content is much less than yesterday. I'll send you the quota on LINE later. Just do it when you have time."
As she spoke, she walked into Shinji's dorm, looked around the room, and then looked at him. "Why does it feel like you haven't cleaned up here at all? And it seems like a lot of things are missing."
"Well, it's been weekdays, so I haven't had much time to stay here. And I didn't have any money in my pocket. It's the weekend today, and I got an advance from the Chairwoman, so I was planning to go out and buy things after cleaning up."
Eclipse nodded. "Then I'll go with you."
"Of course. Rudolf's side said I'm one of the main targets. Even if you didn't say it, I'd have to drag you along." Shinji shrugged.
Being targeted is one thing, but life has to go on. And looking at the other party's past actions, although they had indeed been trying to deal with Tracen, the methods they used were not particularly out of line. Let alone deaths, there weren't even many injuries. It was more methods like taking hidden photos, collecting blackmail material, and guiding public opinion.
As for his incident, it should have been a surprise attack, and then the scene would have been disguised as an attack by a Tokai Teio fan to provoke confrontation and guide public opinion. He would have at most suffered some superficial injuries in the process, but who knew he would actually dodge it. And logically speaking, after a failed surprise attack, the smartest choice for the other party was to retreat and then 'accidentally' drop Tokai Teio's doll on the way to arouse suspicion and provoke conflict and public opinion.
But who knew that kid was a bit stubborn. After the first attack failed, not only did she not run, but she insisted on fighting him...
However, it was from her mouth that the Chairwoman managed to pry out some information about the organization that called itself 'Black Forest,' and she had privately sent a copy to Shinji.
Well, how should I put it... that captured kid really didn't seem very bright. Although her combat power was good, she actually didn't know the specific situation of Black Forest at all and could only be considered an external member. And the reason she chose to join Black Forest was very simple: she was simply attracted by their philosophy.
According to her description, Black Forest was an organization whose members were mostly horse girls. The reason they were against Tracen was because they felt that although Tracen was a paradise for horse girls on the surface, it was actually a cage. They believed that the reason horse girls were obsessed with running was a concept imposed on them by Tracen to restrain them, so that the horse girls could obediently accept Tracen's control.
And not just Tracen. They further believed that the support and response of society to the horse girl running project was also a form of PUA against horse girls, with the aim of turning them into money-making tools for people's entertainment and appreciation, which greatly violated their dignity and freedom.
And to change this situation, Black Forest first prepared to overthrow Tracen, which stood at the pinnacle of this perception. Then they targeted Tokai Teio, who was currently the most popular figure in Tracen, and then they targeted him, as Tokai Teio's trainer.
Shinji just found this ridiculous. He just wanted to quietly slack off at Tracen for three years, that's all. Why did he always run into such messy things?
As for Black Forest's philosophy, Shinji didn't think their perception was wrong, but it certainly wasn't correct either. At the very least, saying Tracen is a cage and running is a concept imposed on them... taking ten thousand steps back, even if they were completely right—what then?
After the concepts of Tracen and running were all overthrown, would horse girls have a better life? Anyway, Shinji thought it was highly unlikely. And a good philosophy doesn't mean correct actions. He had seen plenty of people doing despicable things under the banner of justice, not to mention that Black Forest's philosophy didn't sound right either.
But that wasn't something a small, slacking trainer like him should be considering. Let the big shots think about big shot things. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. He was just a slacking trainer who was accidentally dragged into this. It was already good enough if he could manage his own affairs.
With this thought in mind, Shinji ended his thoughts and then started cleaning the room with Eclipse.
Then, in the process of cleaning, he also took stock of the missing daily necessities here and also asked Eclipse what she needed, preparing to buy them all when they went out later.
As for whether they would be attacked on the way out, or any accidents, Shinji wasn't particularly worried. On one hand, he didn't think the other party would dare to do something like that on the street. That was something only extremist organizations would dare to do. Although the other party's methods were a bit underhanded, they were generally still playing by the rules.
On the other hand, it was because of Eclipse's presence.
He really didn't know how strong Eclipse was, but in the years they had wandered in the past, they had dealt with all sorts of people more than once. Among them, there were good and bad, and there were not a few who had ill intentions towards them, including even groups composed of yakuza and delinquent horse girls. But in the end, let alone suffering a setback, he had never even seen Eclipse get injured, not even a minor injury.
And, Shinji could also see that since he was attacked, Eclipse had been in a bad mood. If they really ran into an attack when they went out, maybe it could let her blow off some steam. And if not... Recalling Eclipse's threat that night, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Shinji's palms. He didn't think he had the strength to resist Eclipse, so it was best to find a way to manage her emotions to avoid something irreversible from happening.
And just as he was cleaning the room and thinking about these things, he heard a knock on the door again.
He looked up, puzzled, unable to determine the identity of the person outside for a moment. Yesterday, the other horse girls in the team had discussed their plans for the weekend during a break, and he had been there. Special Week said she had made plans with her roommate to go out and play. Although Grass Wonder wasn't invited, you could tell from her eyes that she would probably follow along. Tokai Teio needed to relax after a long period of training and said she had made plans with a friend to go shopping. Oguri Cap had no plans at first, but after dinner, she received a message from her roommate, saying she wanted to organize a friendly match with her tomorrow.
So the person knocking was probably not one of them.
But the problem was, besides them, Shinji couldn't think of anyone else who would come looking for him...
As he was thinking, he walked over and opened the door.
"May I ask who..."
His words came to an abrupt halt.
Shinji and the red-eyed horse girl in a white lab coat outside the door stared at each other for a few seconds. He decisively chose to close the door.
But just as the door was about to close, a seemingly slender hand grabbed the edge of the door.
After 'gently' pulling the door open, a delicate face with a playful smile appeared in front of him.
"Good morning, Trainer Kitahara. Won't you invite me in for a seat?" Agnes Tachyon said with a smile.
