After reading the group chat, eating dinner, and watching some other things at night, Shinji's Saturday passed just like that.
As for the next day, Sunday, it also passed very peacefully. Not only did no accidents happen, but for a rare occasion, besides Eclipse, not a single horse girl came to look for him, allowing him to have a rare, peaceful, and relaxing weekend.
Then, after the rare, peaceful, and relaxing holiday was over, the time came to the fourth week.
As always, he got up, got dressed, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to the training grounds.
The seven horse girls were also waiting for him there as always. After he arrived, they greeted him and then began their respective training.
However, although everything was basically the same as last week, there were also some small differences.
For example, Teio was not wearing her usual ordinary training clothes today, but had come in the set of racing silks she had received over the weekend. But Shinji didn't find it strange. After all, she was going to participate in the Maiden race on Wednesday, and she would most likely be wearing this set of racing silks to compete. It was very normal for her to want to get used to it in advance.
And even without considering the race, if you didn't mind the trouble, racing silks could actually be worn as casual clothes.
Although the students at the main Tracen campus usually wore their school uniforms for activities, in reality, it was just because the quality of Tracen's school uniforms was good. They were light and comfortable to wear, and also very convenient to wash and dry. After all, not every horse girl could order such high-quality racing silks. Many racing silks were also a bit inconvenient for daily life, so although Tracen never had any requirements for students' clothing, everyone usually wore their school uniforms for activities.
So it was very normal for Teio to come to train in her racing silks. Forget Shinji, the other horse girls on the team didn't think there was anything wrong with it either. Even Tachyon didn't show any reaction. After all, she had also come in her racing silks.
And speaking of Teio's racing silks, Shinji was reminded of the new inspiration for training methods that had come to him from the new accessories on her racing silks when he was at the old horse girl's clothing store.
However, at that time, although he had simply judged the effect of those new shoes and thigh-high socks through Teio's movements, because she had only simply walked a few steps at that time, he didn't know to what extent this effect could be achieved.
So, to further collect data to assist in possible future research, during today's training, Shinji took a few more glances at Teio's situation, his gaze of course mainly focused on her legs.
Shock absorption, coordination, extension, the extension of surface sensation, the coordination of muscle movements...
It wasn't obvious when she was just walking around in the clothing store, but after she really started running, Shinji realized that this small change might be a bit more powerful than he had previously imagined, and a bit more interest appeared in his eyes.
And on the other side, perhaps because of the new racing silks, Teio's training condition was already exceptionally good today. And after noticing that gaze, her condition improved by another level on top of her already good foundation. It's just that for some reason, the swing of her tail was also a little wider than before.
And besides Teio, Tachyon on the other side was also in a good situation.
Although due to her body and time, Shinji had not yet designed an exclusive running form for her, he had made certain improvements to her existing running form last Tuesday. Although the speed and energy consumption hadn't changed much, it could help her regulate her body to a certain extent. Plus, with Agnes Digital's meticulous care, although the problems on her body had not yet disappeared, they had all improved to varying degrees.
Tachyon had also noticed the changes in her body. Although she didn't show anything on the surface, she had obviously become more trusting and obedient. Even the number of times she secretly tried to drug him had decreased a lot, from nearly ten times a day to about seven.
It's just that although the number of drugging attempts was so frequent, so far, she had only succeeded once in his dorm when he was deep in thought and distracted. The rest were all seen through and avoided by him—after all, the things he had learned on his phone weren't for nothing, right?
As for the remaining Eclipse, she was still the same as always.
No racing silks, or rather, her current outfit was her racing silks.
In terms of training, she still didn't train at all, as if she wasn't the one competing on Wednesday.
The people on the same team were not without curiosity about Eclipse's state and had asked Shinji about related things many times, but they had never been able to get an answer—because he was completely unaware of her situation himself. In fact, he was even more curious about the answer to this question than they were.
But even so, he didn't think Eclipse would lose. Because in the past years, she had also easily won those anonymous races in this state.
When she first started competing, he would occasionally worry about her condition and would find her before the race, racking his brains to give her a pep talk, telling her to relax, and that it was okay to fail, and so on.
But he soon found that, compared to her, her opponents might need this kind of counseling more.
If she was in a good mood, she would win by a small margin. If her mood was average, she would win by a large margin (at least a ten-length gap from the second place at the finish line). But he had never seen her lose, and had never even seen her go all out.
And her running style was also rather strange. Although she always ran as a front-runner, like taking the lead from the start, she didn't have that desperate feeling of a front-runner at all. It was more like because others couldn't catch up to her, she was forced to be a front-runner.
It was very strange.
However, although the situation was like this, in a sense, his pre-race pep talks did have some effect. Because generally, after being comforted by him before a race, Eclipse's mood would obviously get a little better, and her opponents would also lose more gracefully. In a way, it was also doing a good deed.
After checking the three contestants who were going to compete on Wednesday, Shinji's gaze then turned to Special Week and Oguri.
Two weeks had passed, and these two had completely adapted to the new running forms and training plans.
Among them, Oguri, because she had a foundation from the past, adapted relatively quickly. She had completely mastered the new running form by the end of the second week and had started implementing the new training plan. It had been a week now, and the results were also very significant.
Speed, power, reaction...
Breathing, pace, posture...
In just one week, Oguri's performance in all aspects had improved significantly, and even her appetite had increased.
Admittedly, the main reason for such rapid and obvious progress was because she had just started implementing this plan. After a while, when she adapted to this rhythm, the speed of progress should slow down—but it would only slow down, not stop.
This rate of progress, if it were with another trainer, would definitely be considered heavenly. But on his side, he felt it was very normal.
But this really couldn't be all blamed on him. Because in his impression, a background character horse girl who didn't train could easily pull a large gap. Then isn't it normal for my genius girl to progress a little faster?
However, although the training was very smooth, in her daily life, Oguri had been acting a little abnormal recently.
No, it couldn't be said to be abnormal. She was still the same as before, with a natural personality, clear eyes, and her mind full of nothing but eating.
After eating in the cafeteria, she would still drool while looking at pictures of delicious food on her phone in the clubroom—you have to know, she had never used a phone at all before. And the reason she was using it now was because after entering Tracen, she had discovered that she could find delicious food on her phone during an interaction with a classmate. Then she had burst out with amazing enthusiasm and, through a huge amount of effort and not being ashamed to ask, had learned how to use a phone within a week.
However, although her behavior pattern was the same as before, her position had changed.
Before, she would usually browse for delicious food by herself next to the other horse girls. But since last Monday, her usual phone-Browse position had changed to beside Shinji, and she would even get closer to him from time to time.
If it were another horse girl, he might have suspected the motive of such behavior. But with Oguri, no matter how he looked at her behavior, it was as if she was hinting that she wanted to eat this, and wanted him to take her out to eat. And from what he knew of her, this hint was most likely made unconsciously. She herself might not even be aware of it.
If it were a normal horse girl, he would have treated her. But with Oguri, for the sake of his wallet before she had any prize money income, he could only pretend not to understand her hint and let her stay by his side.
And it wasn't just Oguri who was acting strange.
On Special Week's side, after surviving two weeks of difficult times, it couldn't be said how much she had improved, but at least she had been reborn. And because it was her first time receiving this kind of training, her progress in various aspects was even greater than Oguri's.
But like Oguri, although her progress in training was smooth, in her daily life, she had encountered a small accident.
However, to say it was an accident, it wasn't really a big deal. It was just that her hair was growing a bit fast.
To ensure that this would not have any impact on her, after his own judgment and a system check as a double insurance, Shinji had also taken her to the infirmary for a comprehensive check-up, and then came to the same conclusion as his own.
Absolutely no problem.
And forget about problems, Special Week's body was so healthy that even the doctor couldn't help but be surprised, saying that there were few horse girls in the entire main Tracen campus who had a body as healthy as hers.
With a triple check all showing no problems, then worrying any more would be completely unfounded. So after that, he no longer paid any attention to this matter.
Adolescence is a time of growth. Plus, she ate a lot and was in her full-fledged development. Wasn't it normal for her hair to grow a little faster?
That's what he thought, and by the way, he asked her what she wanted to do next: either find more time to cut it and keep it short, or just take this opportunity to grow it long.
"Which one do you think is better, Shinji-san?" she asked, lowering her head and touching her hair, her expression unclear.
"It's up to your own preference. I think they're both fine."
Although he felt that a Special Week with longer hair might not look so simple-minded, he still decided to respect her own thoughts.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then made a decision. "Then let's grow it a little longer."
After all, with longer hair, it would be more convenient to rub and knead.
Thinking this, her hair seemed to grow a little longer again.
Then, after checking on Special Week, he looked at Agnes Digital.
Because she had already made up her mind to learn trainer-related things from him, Digital no longer planned to continue being a 'drifter teammate' and was preparing to take root in his team.
Shinji was not surprised by her decision and very much welcomed her settlement. After all, Digital was an extremely rare mudslide, her safety factor even much higher than Special Week's. And she could also assist in training, reducing his workload while also taking care of Tachyon and interacting with those horse girls for him, further reducing the probability of him raising their affection, and without needing any reward.
Let alone a team horse girl, if he didn't already have two charges, he would even consider letting her be his charge horse girl—after all, that's the Agnes Digital!
And because she had confirmed that she would be staying on his team, so from last week, besides providing her with some guidance in being a trainer, he had also given her a push in her training.
However, because she still had to take care of Tachyon now, and had a lot to do, she couldn't accept the 'useless person' running form design improvement for the time being. So he hadn't redesigned her running form yet, just made some adjustments to her original running form and training plan.
And it was worth mentioning that because that training plan of Digital's could be said to be the result of going through various teams and gathering the strengths of a hundred schools, the information and knowledge contained in it were not small. Even the current him, after reading it through, had found some things he had never learned before and had many new inspirations.
"Agnes Digital, do you have a backup of your previous plans? I want to see the improvement process."
This wasn't for better training of horse girls or anything. It was purely that he himself liked to study these things.
"I do, but they're all on my computer. I'll send them to Miss Eclipse when I get back, and then have her forward them to you."
"Thanks a lot then."
After thanking the flattered Digital and letting her go to train, he turned his gaze to the last person on the team.
And the other party also turned her head after noticing his gaze. After hesitating for a while on the spot, she slowly walked up to him and took a deep breath.
"Trainer Kitahara."
Grass Wonder looked up, her gaze serious.
"I want to formally apply to join your team."
