A moment later, Agnes Tachyon was in Shinji Kitahara's dorm, sitting opposite him and Eclipse.
"Eclipse is my family, we grew up together. She's also currently one of my charges," Shinji briefly introduced Eclipse, then looked at Tachyon with a helpless tone. "Agnes Tachyon, a well-known figure at Tracen Academy, and I guess you could say she's a... friend I just met a couple of days ago."
He spoke the last two words with great reluctance.
Tachyon had no objection to this introduction. Her gaze swept back and forth between Shinji and Eclipse, the interest in her eyes growing stronger. Then, as if ignoring Shinji's warning gaze, she familiarly waved to Eclipse and began to whisper in her ear.
Because her voice was too low, Shinji couldn't hear what they were saying. He only saw Eclipse's expression change again and again. From initial calmness, to slight suspicion, then to surprise, and finally back to calmness. However, although her expression returned to its original state, it was obvious that after they separated, Eclipse had become much more familiar with Tachyon. Her gaze was no longer so strange, and she had even received a tube of green potion from her...
Wait, a potion?
"What is that thing?" A bad feeling rose in Shinji's heart.
Eclipse turned her head away and carefully put the tube of potion away, while Tachyon said with a grin, "Nothing, just an ordinary potion that can quickly replenish the stamina consumed by long periods of exercise. If you want to buy some, I can give you a friendship price."
Like hell I'd buy it!
And that potion is clearly that kind of thing! Why did you accept it, Eclipse? You're making me very nervous.
Shinji regretted it now, deeply regretted it. If God could give him another chance to go back to the day he was attacked, he would rather stand there and take a beating than have any form of interaction with this dangerous person.
With a long sigh, Shinji's expression gradually became melancholic. He looked at Tachyon and said helplessly, "So, what do you want?"
Seeing him being so direct, Tachyon didn't beat around the bush either. She directly took out a pre-prepared application form and a pen from the pocket of her white lab coat and handed them to Shinji.
"I already have two charges, I really don't have any more energy..." Shinji refused the moment she took out the form.
But Tachyon's expression didn't change at all. She still smiled. "Yes, I know. So this is just an application to join your team."
She paused, then continued, "You know, my reputation at Tracen has never been very good, and the trainers are all afraid of me, so almost no team or trainer is willing to take me in."
"And, my full-fledged development is already halfway through. If I don't compete soon, I'm afraid I'll enter a period of decline. I don't want to accomplish nothing in the three years of my horse girl life when I should be shining the brightest. But the race organizers have a rule that horse girls without a trainer cannot participate in races, so..."
She looked up at Shinji, a hint of pitifulness and pleading in her eyes. "Trainer Kitahara, please."
Faced with her words, Shinji was silent. But not because he was moved by her words, but because he was shocked that this person could lie so naturally, and even act as if it were really true.
It was true that her full-fledged development was halfway through; he could see that. But to say that no one wanted her was pure nonsense.
It was true that Tachyon's reputation among the trainers at Tracen was not good, but no matter how bad her reputation was, her ability was there. The strong always enjoy certain privileges, no matter where they are. She wasn't the only horse girl with a strange personality or癖好 (pǐhào - habits/quirks) at Tracen. There were even some who were more outrageous than her, and their strength wasn't even as good as hers, yet they could still join teams and even find exclusive trainers.
Shinji was even willing to bet that she wouldn't even have to go to them. As long as she posted on the forum that she was looking for a trainer, it would surely become the hit of the day, and there would definitely be no shortage of fearless guys who would apply. She would have no trouble finding a trainer. Even if she wanted to join one of the popular teams or find a veteran trainer to be her exclusive, it wouldn't be difficult for her. Although she didn't go out much and her reputation wasn't good, as the mad scientist who almost monopolized the black market of Tracen, she must have some connections and backing.
However, although he understood, Shinji couldn't just expose her lies directly. After all, he still had a weakness in her hands.
After thinking for a while, Shinji felt that if he wanted to refuse her, it would be better to approach it from another angle. Otherwise, if he provoked her and she spilled the beans, he wouldn't be any better off.
Then, he cleared his throat and said with feigned hesitation, "Um, Miss Tachyon, it's not that I don't want to agree to you, but the problem is, this is a team. If a newcomer wants to join, I have to ask the opinions of the others..."
"I've asked."
Eclipse suddenly spoke up, shaking her phone. "They all agreed."
Shinji Kitahara: "...?"
Eclipse turned her head away, not meeting his gaze. "Special Week and Oguri Cap think it will be more lively with more people in the team. Tokai Teio doesn't have any objections either."
As for Grass Wonder, she was only nominally part of their team. Everyone knew the actual situation, so there was no need to ask her.
"...What about you?"
"I... think she's a pretty nice person."
Nice my ass! Is our friendship of so many years not worth a bottle of stamina potion?
And I've wanted to complain about this for a long time. Other people's horse girls wish their trainer would only look at them, but why is it the complete opposite with you? You want me to be drawn and quartered, don't you?
"I..."
Shinji still wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, Tachyon stuffed the form and pen into his hands. A dangerous light flickered in her red pupils as she said with a grin, "Well then, Mr. Guinea... Trainer Kitahara, from now on, I'll be in your care."
Looking at the strange light flickering in her eyes, Shinji was silent for a moment, sighed, and took the things she handed him.
Forget it. I'll just accept my fate.
"Well then, I'll be in your care from now on, Miss Agnes Tachyon."
As the tip of the pen fell, the devil's contract was signed.
