The inexplicable competition ended with Super Creek's complete defeat.
And she was completely convinced of her defeat.
After listening to Shinji's stories of taking care of the 'little ancestors', she no longer questioned the fact that his ability was superior to hers. Not only did she not question it, but after hearing those stories, she even sympathized with and pitied Shinji. She wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't think of how to comfort him no matter how hard she wracked her brain.
However, Shinji was not the type to wallow in self-pity. After complaining about how difficult those little ancestors were, he quickly returned to normal.
After saying goodbye to Super Creek, he returned to his team, thinking about what he had learned from their conversation, and continued his peaceful daily life.
Some of the team members were curious about what he had been doing, and Shinji didn't hide it, telling them everything that had just happened.
Of course, except for the pretend boyfriend thing.
Although he considered his relationships with his horse girls to be very normal, this was still a bit awkward. And if it got out, he was worried it would be exposed before he even started pretending, so he just briefly said that he might have to go out to help Koyoi with something in a while.
Then, after dealing with a few curious babies, Shinji took out his phone as usual and started Browse forums and group chats.
As for the forums, because of the recent influx of new transfer students, they had become more lively than before, and there were many posts that were obviously from newcomers.
For example, a post titled "Why can horse girls freely enter and exit a trainer's dormitory? Don't you think this is strange?" was currently at the top of the list, and the posting time showed that it was from early last month.
Shinji was a little curious why a post from over a month ago could top the anonymous board, so he clicked in to see, and then...
[OP: No, this is too strange, okay? Although I've found an exclusive trainer, no matter how you look at it, this is not appropriate, right? — Reply time June 2nd.]
[OP: No matter what you guys say, I will never accept this kind of thing. — Reply time June 4th.]
[OP: Although I can kind of understand why this situation occurs now, this is still a bit too much, right? — Reply time June 15th.]
[OP: Does any senior know how to get the key to a trainer's dormitory? — Reply time June 29th.]
[OP: By the way, does any senior know how to submit an application to the student council? I think the charge should be arranged in the same dormitory as the trainer, which is very conducive to training. — Reply time July 14th.]
Hmm, it vividly demonstrated the process of a foreign horse girl being quickly assimilated.
But isn't this progress a bit too fast?
Shinji was a little puzzled, then continued to scroll down and saw a new post that was giving newcomers some strange little knowledge about Tracen.
After clicking in, Shinji found that what he had just seen was still considered slow.
Because according to this post, the fastest record for a Tracen contract being broken by being pounced on was one and a half days.
It was just that the holder of this record was a couple who had a foundation of feelings for each other but had separated for some reason. After they met again, they signed a contract after less than a week of contact, and then the day after the contract was signed, the trainer was pinned down in the dormitory and pounced on.
Well, um...
Shinji didn't know what to say, except that he was glad he didn't have to worry about this kind of thing.
After all, although he had helped many horse girls in the past, they were all very small horse girls. And, except for a few exceptions, he didn't have deep contact with most of them, let alone any deep feelings. No matter how you look at it, it was impossible for him to encounter this situation.
As for those few, such as Oguri Cap, Special Week, and Nice Nature...
See, aren't they very normal?
Even Nice Nature ended up avoiding him. No matter how you look at it, it was very stable and impossible to fail.
After Browse the forums, Shinji then opened the trainer's group chat and found that they were discussing team mergers.
The so-called team merger referred to the literal meaning, due to various situations, such as two trainers falling in love or even getting married. Then the two teams merge, and one of the trainers becomes an assistant trainer, and both parties are jointly responsible for the situation of the horse girls in the team.
This situation was not common at Tracen, so it was not often mentioned. This time, everyone just chatted about it briefly and then skipped it.
Shinji didn't pay any attention to this either.
After all, team mergers had not happened at Tracen for nearly three years. It was a rare event among rare events, basically impossible to happen.
And even if it did happen, there were so many teams at Tracen, especially after the new regulations, the number of teams had increased sharply. No matter how you look at it, it was impossible for it to happen to him, a rookie who didn't even know many trainers.
And more importantly, a team merger was not something that could be done just by the agreement of both trainers. It had to be agreed upon by everyone in both teams, including the team horse girls.
As for him, although his reputation had greatly improved recently due to the influx of new students, through his continuous efforts to slander himself, although his reputation still inevitably improved, it was still within a controllable range, and the overall level was about a mix of praise and criticism.
Even more ridiculously, because of his excessive efforts in slandering himself, that anonymous account had now become a recognized opinion leader in the camp that disliked Shinji Kitahara, with extremely high prestige.
Under these conditions, even if someone came to him wanting to merge teams, as long as he said a word to his subordinates and spread some bad rumors about him to the horse girls in that team, the merger would be sure to fail. There was no need to worry at all.
So, for the matter of team mergers, Shinji just glanced at it briefly.
Then he browsed the group chat for a while, and after confirming that there was no information that he needed to pay attention to, he started watching videos as usual and continued his 'stable' and 'safe' peaceful life.
But, although his life had been calm recently, and even because he had a little more money in his pocket, he was living much better than before, on the other side, a certain someone who had been forgotten for a long time, her mood recently might not be as good as his...
Tracen Academy main campus, student council room.
A certain unnamed Emperor of Tracen, owner of the undefeated Triple Crown, Miss Symboli Rudolph.
After finishing her work, she was happily thinking about how to sneak out and slack off next when the phone on her desk suddenly vibrated.
After picking it up and looking at it, the smile on her face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the oppressive feeling she exuded gradually increased, even affecting the other two vice presidents who were still working.
But Air Groove and Narita Brian were used to this situation and continued to deal with the documents with their heads down, without a single word of complaint.
It wasn't that they were afraid of Rudolph or anything. After all, they had worked together for so many years and had been through a lot together. Their friendship was not ordinary. They had had their share of conflicts, and sometimes when Rudolph was angry, they had to step in to stop her. Others might be afraid of Symboli Rudolph getting angry, but they were used to it.
But the problem now was that Rudolph's problem was not something they could solve, and they didn't even know how to intervene.
Although they were Rudolph's friends and assistants, they really couldn't help with the matter of their families pushing for marriage.
In fact, let alone Rudolph, as they got older, they would probably face this problem soon, and they didn't know what to do either.
Air Groove was fine. She was the type of strong woman who said what she meant and had a considerable say in her family, so she didn't have to worry about this for now.
But as for Narita Brian, her sister was studying at the main Tracen campus and had already shown signs of wanting to find her a partner.
Although logically, as seniors who had already finished their three years of racing, they should have already achieved a happy ending with their trainers, but...
Although Air Groove looked cool and majestic, she was actually a little androphobic in private, and she was straight.
As for Narita Brian, although she did choose a male trainer, the problem was that that trainer, how to put it...
Like Kudo Kazuya, he was also a famous legendary trainer at Tracen. Although his qualifications were not as deep, he had only been there for more than ten years, but he had been in charge of more charges than Kudo Kazuya. And so far, he had not had an improper relationship with any of his charges, and had never even been pounced on.
And the reason...
He didn't like women.
And he had already started a family a long time ago.
However, despite this, Air Groove and Narita Brian were younger than Symboli Rudolph, and their families didn't seem to have this intention at the moment, so they were not in a hurry.
But Symboli Rudolph...
She wasn't that old either. Although she was indeed a little older than Shinji, she hadn't reached the age of being desperate to get married, so there was no need to rush.
Not to mention that besides the three of them in the room now, the student council actually had a hidden fourth person who was not on the register. That person was even older than Symboli Rudolph and was still single and unmarried. But she could drive her red sports car around everywhere without any sign of anxiety, and her family had never pushed her.
This made Rudolph feel even more unbalanced.
And it strengthened her belief that that old woman, Speed Symboli, was definitely using this to disgust her.
And just as the resentment from Symboli Rudolph was circling in the student council room, with a familiar light footstep, the door of the student council room was knocked on.
Hearing this familiar sound, Rudolph instantly reined in her emotions.
Then, after the knock, a small shadow quietly pushed open the door of the student council room, and after confirming that it was okay, she immediately slipped in.
After skillfully greeting Narita Brian and Air Groove, she went directly to Symboli Rudolph's side, pulled up a small chair, and sat down, blinking at her.
The person who came in was of course Tokai Teio, and this was not the first time.
Because she admired Rudolph, and Rudolph was also very optimistic about her, and even trained her as her successor, Tokai Teio obtained the right to enter and exit the student council room freely shortly after she enrolled, and then she would come here to hang out from time to time.
She didn't do anything else, just came to see Symboli Rudolph. The other two were also used to this.
It was just that for a while before, because she had debuted and had to strengthen her training, and also because she had made many new friends because of her team, Tokai Teio's frequency of coming here had decreased a little.
But recently, although her frequency of coming to the student council had not returned to the previous level, it had also increased a lot.
Symboli Rudolph also knew very well why.
After all, she also went to Shinji's place to slack off from time to time now, so she certainly knew about him holding a training camp in his own dormitory.
When she first heard of his plan, Symboli Rudolph was shocked. She looked at the circle of horse girls training on the training ground. After thinking for a while, out of concern for his personal safety, she gave him some slightly tactful advice.
Shinji heard it and understood, and then very decisively rejected Symboli Rudolph's suggestion. And he said that the horse girls under his charge were all very reliable and safe, and he was just doing this for work, so there was no need to worry.
Well, how to put it.
Looking at the confident expression on Shinji's face at that time, Symboli Rudolph, who was still very worried and wanted to continue to persuade him, suddenly didn't want to persuade him anymore, and even wanted to beat him with a wooden sword.
And she was also aware of the fact that the only person he didn't bring to the training camp was Tokai Teio, and she could even realize to some extent why Tokai Teio had rejected the invitation to the training camp.
Because in some ways, Tokai Teio was very similar to her.
For example, possessiveness.
Let alone Shinji, even if she, Symboli Rudolph, showed affection for other children in front of Tokai Teio, Tokai Teio's mood would immediately drop at a visible rate.
And because she had been like this when she was young, and in some cases, she had done even more excessive things than Tokai Teio, Symboli Rudolph could understand her behavior.
Children, they are more possessive of their own things and don't want to share with others. It's a very normal thing.
Although he was just a nominal trainer, Symboli Rudolph had seen all the interactions between Shinji and Tokai Teio. So she could also realize that in Tokai Teio's heart, Shinji was probably not just a simple nominal trainer.
But Symboli Rudolph was not going to stop this.
After all, as Shinji had told her before, Tokai Teio had the right to choose her own life path, and she didn't have to follow the path they had arranged for her.
And from Symboli Rudolph's own standpoint, let alone stopping it, she even wanted to push it forward.
It was very normal for a trainer and his charge to get together at Tracen. And Shinji was a man she was optimistic about. She was relieved to hand Tokai Teio over to him.
And most importantly, if Tokai Teio wanted to go further with Shinji, she had to become his real charge, which meant she had to have a trainer.
Although after talking with Shinji before, she was no longer prepared to forcefully interfere with Tokai Teio's decision, the problem was that she could still guide her through gentle means.
And Shinji also supported this behavior.
After all, the fact was that having a trainer was better than not having a trainer. Children had the right to make their own decisions, but parents also had the obligation and right to provide correct advice and guidance.
But what he didn't know was that he was the bait that Rudolph used to guide Tokai Teio.
But for now, it seemed that this bait had not only failed to work, but had also had the opposite effect.
In order to maintain her belief, Tokai Teio actually chose to stay away from the bait, and because of this, her mood was affected, and her condition was even worse than before.
Although the Tokai Teio sitting next to her looked as lively and cute as before, Symboli Rudolph, with her rich experience in getting along with her, could easily sense the restlessness in her heart.
But the problem was that she didn't know what to do either. After all, she was not good at getting along with children in the first place. And she had also used Shinji as a bait in this matter, so it was not good to discuss it with him.
So for now, she could only chat more with Tokai Teio during her visits, feed her some honey special drinks, and try to alleviate some of her sadness.
This was very effective.
After all, although Tokai Teio had developed a lot of affection for Shinji, it had only been a few months, while Symboli Rudolph was the person she had been admiring since she was a child. After entering Tracen, she had been receiving her care all along. By now, Rudolph's position in Tokai Teio's heart could almost be described as unparalleled.
So, whenever she felt irritable because she couldn't get close to Shinji, Tokai Teio would come to the student council to find Symboli Rudolph, using her admiration for her to add weight to the other side of the scale and strengthen her heart.
But today, in the process of strengthening her heart, a small accident occurred.
Because she had finished her work and saw that Tokai Teio was in a bad mood and probably had no mood to study, Symboli Rudolph started chatting with her.
And as they chatted, they talked about the previous dispute.
Symboli Rudolph first admitted her mistake, saying that it was indeed she who interfered too much. If it weren't for Shinji's direct reminder, that dispute might still be going on now, and it might even affect their relationship...
And then, Tokai Teio was stunned.
"Trainer-san... did he tell you these things?"
"Hmm? Didn't he tell you?"
"No, he just told me that he had talked about some work with you when he came back that day, and asked if he knew anyone from the Symboli family..."
"Then maybe he was afraid you would be angry. After all, he promised you that he wouldn't interfere in your affairs, so he might have felt that this was a bit too much, so he didn't dare to tell you..."
When she left the student council room, Tokai Teio's eyes were a little dazed.
She had originally thought that she could reach an agreement with the president so quickly because her efforts and persistence had been recognized, but now... what was this?
Even when she thought about the fact that the reason why she could come to the president's side to be spoiled these days was all his credit.
The weights that had accumulated on the side of the scale representing persistence these days all disappeared little by little, and then slowly appeared on the other side, making the balance arm sway gently.
Angry? She was indeed angry.
But not at Shinji, but at herself.
She was always so willful, disregarding the advice of those around her, insisting on winning the undefeated Triple Crown alone, and even had a fight with the president over it, giving her the cold shoulder for a long time.
But he had always been tolerant of her, respecting her choice, and silently clearing the obstacles for her behind the scenes.
And if it weren't for Rudolph suddenly mentioning it today, she might never have known that the previous change was all because of him.
Especially when she thought about how after the training camp started, because she saw that she hadn't agreed and was always going back alone, he had quietly changed the medium-sized honey special drink he usually bought for her to a large one, and would also take the initiative to chat with her more when they were in the activity room...
Because of her inner irritability, she had noticed these details before, but she hadn't paid any attention to them, just thinking that he had become more generous after his income increased.
But thinking about it now, it was all his care for her.
Even though he's just a nominal trainer, even though he said he didn't have to do anything, even though I've always been so willful, but why...
The emotion called regret began to grow in her heart, and the two ends of the scale began to sway.
"Trainer-san..." she murmured subconsciously.
And then, she got a response.
"What's wrong, Teio?"
Hearing this voice, Tokai Teio was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly raised her head and saw the familiar figure standing in the moonlight, with obvious worry in his eyes.
In an instant, the swaying scale tilted instantly.
She pounced on him.
