The not-so-pleasant and not-so-relaxing weekend quickly ended amidst the chaos, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for work again.
He got up, washed up, changed into the clothes he had bought earlier, and after confirming that he was no longer glowing, he picked up the documents from his computer desk and walked out of the dorm.
After breakfast, he went to the training grounds. Everything was as usual.
Teio was doing self-training. Even after learning about a part of Shinji's hidden strength, she still chose not to let him interfere and continued to prepare to win in her own way.
Eclipse was still standing on the sidelines, watching, with no intention of participating in the training. Even the other horse girls and trainers around had slowly gotten used to this sight. Many people even thought she was the main trainer of this team, and Shinji was just a newcomer assistant.
Special Week, Oguri Cap, and Grass Wonder were doing warm-up exercises on the training field. When they saw him coming from a distance, they slowly jogged over.
As for Tachyon, she arrived even later than Shinji, stepping into the training field just a minute before the agreed meeting time. Her gait was leisurely, and because she wasn't wearing her iconic white lab coat, she didn't attract the attention of others.
After everyone had arrived, the training began.
The first to suffer was Special Week. As soon as she walked up to Shinji, a stack of seven or eight pages of training plans was stuffed into her hands. After a rough look, her face almost turned green.
Isn't this intensity a bit too high?
Not only was the basic training volume more than doubled from the previous version, but the 'flexible part' training bonus set for her night-time snacking habits was also insane. Every carrot she ate could basically be converted into an equivalent amount of sweat.
Grass Wonder on the side also frowned after seeing this plan. Because the training volume stipulated in this plan was already close to that of horse girls in their second year of full-fledged development, and Special Week's development had just begun not long ago. She didn't even have any plans to debut yet.
Training volume was never a case of "the more, the better." Although too little training might not have a good effect, too much training would also cause damage to the body, and even harm the full-fledged development process.
But before Grass Wonder could raise her question, a second set of documents was thrown into Special Week's hands.
"This is the new running form. Before you completely master it, stick to the old training plan. Otherwise, this volume will break you."
Hearing Shinji say this, Special Week breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next second, she sucked that breath right back in.
"I'll give you two weeks to adjust. If you haven't mastered the new running form in two weeks, the second plan will be activated, so don't think about slacking off."
After saying that, Shinji turned to Oguri and stuffed two sets of documents into her hands as well: one was a training plan, and the other was a running form. "Your new running form is an improvement on your original one, so it should be easier to learn. Three days... no, a week. If you've mastered it within a week, you should be able to start training according to the second plan next week."
Unlike Special Week, Oguri just quietly nodded after looking at the equally terrifying training plan in her hands, without any other reaction.
Then, after giving out the plans and new running form designs, Shinji for once didn't just throw them the plans and wash his hands of it. Instead, he began to personally help Special Week and Oguri learn the new running forms.
Although he had tried his best to describe the six running forms in simple and easy-to-understand words, there would definitely still be some difficulty in reading them, especially for Special Week. And even if they could understand the meaning of every sentence, they would definitely make all sorts of mistakes when practicing.
There was another point. He had learned some special techniques before. Although it might be a bit hard on them for a short period of time, it could greatly shorten the time needed to learn a new running form. It just required him to personally perform some operations.
"Wrong. Your posture is not standard, and the direction of your force is completely wrong."
"Breathing frequency! Breathing frequency! Don't pant. Maintain the rhythm!"
"The left side muscles are not being used. The right side is bearing too much. If you keep running like this, you'll become deformed."
"The angle of your foot landing, the swing of your arms, the control of your tail for balance, the adjustment of your center of gravity when turning..."
"You haven't done a single one of these correctly."
Hearing Shinji's words, Special Week almost burst into tears. It wasn't that his tone was particularly harsh. It was just that she clearly felt she had been strictly following what he had taught her, but still, nothing was right. Almost every movement had a string of faults, and it was very uncomfortable to run.
On the other hand, Oguri, after listening to Shinji's explanation of the main points, was basically able to run a rough version of it. Although some problems were pointed out, she corrected them quickly and showed obvious progress.
Special Week didn't doubt Shinji's level. After all, when he was with her before, he had repeatedly proven his ability with facts, so much so that to this day, she still deeply believed in him and wouldn't have even a trace of doubt.
But now she was very doubtful of her own level.
"Grassy, am I very stupid?" Special Week asked pitifully.
Grass Wonder smiled and nodded. "Yes, you are."
And then Special Week burst into tears and was pulled into Grass Wonder's embrace, who comforted her in a soft voice.
Teio, who had just finished a round of self-training on the side, came over and patted Special Week's shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry, Spe-chan. This is very normal. A completely redesigned running form is very difficult to learn. I heard from the President before that some horse girls even went into seclusion in the forest for half a year to learn a new running form."
"...Really?"
Teio puffed out her flat chest and said with full confidence, "Of course it's true. The invincible Teio-sama never lies."
Special Week lifted her head from Grass Wonder's embrace and said pitifully, "But Oguri-chan..."
"I've practiced something similar before. Now I'm just making some changes. It's much simpler than you, who have to learn from scratch."
Oguri also came over. For some reason, her eyes held a hint of pity as she looked at Special Week. "And Spe-chan, there's something I want to remind you. The most difficult part of this training is not learning the running form. When I first started learning, I wasn't much better than you, but after a week, I had basically mastered it. It's just..."
Looking at Oguri's serious expression, Special Week blinked. "Just... what?"
Oguri didn't answer directly. Instead, she looked at Grass Wonder. "Miss Grass Wonder, could you let go of her for a moment?"
Grass Wonder didn't understand what she meant but did as she was told.
Then, Oguri took a few steps back and said to Special Week, "Alright, Spe-chan, come over here."
Everyone else was baffled. Special Week was also confused, but she still took a step forward, and then...
Splat.
She had only taken two steps, and there were no obstacles in front of her, but Special Week's body suddenly faltered, and then she fell straight forward, only to be caught steadily by the expectant Oguri.
The caught Special Week looked up with a dazed expression, right into Oguri's pity-filled eyes.
"Oguri-chan, this is..."
"Listen to me, Spe-chan." Oguri cut her off directly, looked into her eyes, and said with pity, "For the next week, you have to be prepared to become a useless person who can't even take care of herself."
"...Eh?"
...
Meanwhile.
While Special Week was shocked by Oguri's last words, Shinji had also completed Tachyon's test.
Looking at the contents of the notebook in his hand, his brows slowly furrowed.
Tachyon, who had just finished the test, jogged over. Because the notebook was blocking her view, she didn't notice his frown and had a confident smile on her face.
"How was it? I didn't lie to you, right? My strength might not be the top tier in Tracen, but at least I'm in the front ranks..."
"Agnes Tachyon."
Shinji cut her off directly, looked up at her, his expression complicated.
Seeing him like this, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Tachyon's heart. "What's wrong?"
Shinji thought for a moment and finally chose a more tactful way of putting it.
"Have you considered a career in acting? I think with your level, winning an Oscar should be more than enough."
Agnes Tachyon: "...?"
