"Sprint? Never heard of it. Let me guess, a Great Escape?" Mr. C.B. was confused by the novel term, but Hakki didn't explain. She just patted off the dirt she could and walked away.
"Hey! Little one, why so cold? I'm your senior, you have to show some respect!" Mr. C.B. followed her like a stalker, annoying Hakki so much that she even forgot about the mud on her face. The two of them walked out of the training grounds like this, and the other horse girls in the academy whispered about the pair.
"A senior should act like a dignified senior! What kind of senior acts like this!" Hakki couldn't stand Mr. C.B.'s constant barrage of words, but C.B. didn't care at all. The reason she gave was that this way she wouldn't create a barrier with the younger horse girls and be seen as an old grandma in a school uniform, nor would she be feared like the emperor Rudolf. It was a logic that was reasonable yet contained some indescribable absurdity, but Hakki wasn't interested! The most important thing was why Mr. C.B. was clinging to her!
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Little one, you... aren't you going to wash your face? The mud is already drying on your face, you know?" Mr. C.B., as if she had planned it all along, took out a wet wipe and wiped Hakki's face, leaving a black mud stain on the white paper.
"..." Silence, silence, and more silence.
It wasn't just the foul move Mr. C.B. had just made that rendered her silent. The most important thing was that she had been walking around for so long with a face full of mud and hadn't even noticed. She didn't know how many horse girls had seen this scene, but undoubtedly, if even one saw it, it would spread like an epidemic. Thinking of this, Hakki almost couldn't breathe.
"Senior CB, I have a question. I've been walking for so long, can I still survive in the academy?" Her voice was a weak cry. She felt that at this moment, neither walking nor stopping was an option. She was perfectly trapped in a dilemma.
"It's fine, just treat the other horse girls as air," Mr. C.B. said.
In the end, Hakki chose to wrap her jacket around her head to get to the student council. Although she looked extremely, even nine-tenths bizarre to others, at least it was a way to not show her face.
"CB... hmm? Who is this?" Maruzensky stared at the newcomer, covered in mud with dirty ash-grey ears sticking out, and was stunned. For a moment, she suspected this was a horse girl that CB had kidnapped from some countryside. Given Mr. C.B.'s character, it wasn't impossible for her to imitate Rudolf's past and abduct a good family's horse girl...
However, Mr. C.B. cleared up the misunderstanding before Maruzensky could ask. "She just fell on the training grounds. She had nowhere to wash her face, so she had to come like this. She's the little one from yesterday~ Hakki Byakku, right?"
"Yes, it's me. I want to complete my missing enrollment procedures now. Is the president here—?" With her head covered, her vision was completely dark. Hakki didn't know how many horse girls were in the office, but at least... at least Rudolf should be here!
"Hmm? I'm here. But falling on the training grounds... be careful. Without a trainer's guidance, new students should be extra careful when training on their own," Rudolf said, putting down the application that Kitahara had just submitted. Coincidentally, the person in question had just arrived.
"No, I think this little one has some athletic foundation, she's just a bit strange and didn't have horseshoes nailed to her shoes," Mr. C.B. explained, which earned her a sharp glance from Rudolf.
"You're saying her running shoes were empty?"
"Mhmm."
Is that what you call athletic? Rudolf was suddenly at a loss for words. All she could say was... the future is promising... maybe?
Completing the information didn't take much time. After signing the last word, Hakki fled in a panic, leaving Rudolf to cast a scrutinizing gaze at Mr. C.B.
"Since you knew she didn't have horseshoes, why didn't you remind her and let her fall?"
"Hmm?! Luna, are you suspecting me?! I only saw the bottom of her feet after she fell!" Mr. C.B. suddenly knew what it felt like to be wronged.
She fled back to the dorm. It was still early, and Deep Impact wouldn't be back until dark, so Hakki stripped herself naked in the dorm, draped a towel over her arm, and dashed into the bathroom. The warm water from the showerhead cascaded down her body, which was completely devoid of curves, and let her relax completely.
"This world is too crazy... all that's missing is a mouse being a bridesmaid for a cat..." Hakki was washing her hair, but the next moment, she felt an extremely tingling sensation as the water droplets hit her skin. A very wrong feeling!!
[Love Master System]
[Given the host's years of inaction and rejection, this system has once again implemented a punishment mechanism.]
[Furthermore, the host has not responded to the system's choice for two months, so the target has been automatically set to the current roommate: Deep Impact.]
[If the host fails to complete the system's quota by the next settlement date, she will face a cruel punishment.]
[5 months until the next settlement. Quota Mission: Increase Deep Impact's affection to 50.]
[Phased Failure Penalty: Body sensitivity increased by 10 times.]
[Today's punishment is a 0.5x increase in body sensitivity as a warning and incentive.]
[Completing the quota will grant a beneficial buff. Good luck~]
"..." Hakki saw the words engraved on the bathroom tiles in her vision. In the end, only one thought remained in her mind: System, is your mother from a wholesale market...?
Clearly, the system wasn't joking. Her body was now reacting to the impact of water droplets... was her body always this sensitive?!
"System! Are your ancestors from a wholesale market?! How dare you do this to me!?" This was unbearable. Was this damn punishment trying to turn this world into an R-18 GL story?!
[Watch your language, and please do your best to complete the system's issued quotas. Otherwise, I'll start it at 3x. What do you think?]
"I think it's pretty good right now, no need to raise the starting point, hahaha." A great man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. A gentleman's revenge is a dish best served cold. Don't bully a young man for being poor. With these thoughts, Hakki quickly dried herself in the shower, wrapped herself in a towel, and threw herself onto the bed.
Her originally fair skin had turned pink after being wiped with the towel due to the system's punishment. Hakki stared at the plain ceiling as if her soul had left her body. She felt that her future path... whether as a horse girl or transferring to support staff, held no brightness. But, it didn't matter. The future would be worse anyway.
Hakki cursed the crappy world and the Three Goddesses in her heart. Maybe I'll become Deep Impact's toy in the future...Slap! Hakki slapped her own face. What the hell am I thinking!
