"Mmmhh!!! Nnnyyyyyaaaaawwwwnnn!!! Uuhhh…"
The blue sky of twilight had crept in to replace the night sky when the young man rose from his bed. Being an assistant trainer means that he needs to prepare everything before everyone arrives at the training area, which becomes a habit for the young man even after he is no longer an assistant trainer.
"Uugghh… Curses…"
The young man could only curse at himself as he dragged his sleepy body out.
"SSSSNNNNIIIIIFFFFF!!!"
The young man takes one long breath to get the fresh Tracen morning air. The trainer dorms are positioned somewhat above most of the academy's buildings, so the young man has a good view of the entire Tracen Academy where he is standing.
He sees girls who have already started their morning run on the track down below.
So… diligent… I hope Kincsem is one of them… I have to meet her and secure a golden ticket for my revenge!
The young man steeled himself and walked back to his room. If he is ever going to meet with his golden ticket, he needs to be extra ready. It's time to recruit his assigned Uma.
XxX-XxX
*SSSLLLAAAAMMM*
"Why does no one want to be my assigned Uma!?!?!"
The sun is now hanging right at 12 o'clock, and the young man has been spending his morning recruiting Uma Musume, but to no avail.
"What do you mean that there is no Kincsem!?"
The young man was met with weird gazes when he asked around for the Uma Musume named Kincsem.
"And then what do you mean you don't want to be my assigned Uma?!?"
After finding no lead for Kincsem's existence, the young man decided to just go ask multiple Umas to be his assigned one. He thinks that might as well prepare his trainer skill for when Kincsem finally arrives, but most of them just reject him.
"Not fair!!"
"Ahahaha… Please cheer up, Mister Heita."
The young woman in front of him, Aoi Kiryuin, tries to console the sad young man. They are both new trainers in Tracen Academy, but different from the young man,
"That's easy for you to say. You already found your Uma."
The young woman has already made a contract with an Uma Musume. Both trainers look to their side where a white-haired Uma Musume is enjoying her lunch. Her pink eyes are glued to the mountain of food in front of her. Not only are Uma Musumes physically stronger, but their digestion is also more potent compared to humans. The amount of food a single Uma Musume can eat in a serving would dwarf what your average Joe would eat in a single day. The boy always wonders if an Uma Musume's stomach acid registered at 0,5 on the pH scale.
"Please teach me, teacher Kiryuin."
"Ahaha… Calling me a teacher just because I already have an Uma under me is too much, Mister Heita."
"Well, at least you're superior in being a trainer compared to the likes of me."
"Uumm… Please don't get down, Mister Heita. I know! How about you show me how you recruit Uma? Maybe we can work from there."
"Okay…"
The young man stood up and walked to Aoi's side of the table. He straightened his outfit and cleared his throat.
Aoi has a hard time seeing why the young man in front of her keeps failing at attracting Uma. Sure, he isn't a veteran trainer, but he still has plenty of experience from being an assistant trainer. Not only that, his looks aren't that bad either. He smells good, and he keeps himself clean and proper. Surely, a young Uma Musume would not pass up such a chance.
"!!"
Aoi notices just how hot her face is getting.
No! No! We just met! I can't possibly be having feelings for someone I just met! He'll think I'm an easy girl if he knows!
"Aoi Kiryuin,"
"Eeek!!"
The young man gently grabs Aoi's left hand before suddenly kneeling in front of her. He stares straight at Aoi's face with his warm crimson eyes, causing Aoi to stop breathing in anticipation.
"Aoi Kiryuin, I humbly ask you to allow me to guide you to a bright future where we will stand side by side. I promise you that even in death or sickness, I will never leave your side. Only death can separate us."
"..."
Aoi Kiryuin grits her teeth. She almost screams yes, but then she remembers what they were doing.
"Mister Heita, I think I understand why no one agrees to be your assigned Uma."
"Eh?!?!"
XxX-XxX
"Sigh…"
The young man could only sigh after Aoi Kiryuin told him that his 'proposing' is the reason no one wants to be his Uma. The young man wonders if this is a difference in culture between the center and the local. This approach always worked when he was still an assistant trainer, and facing defeat after defeat, the young man wondered if he really had what it took to achieve his revenge.
"Tch!"
The young man decided to clear his mind by wandering around the academy and unknowingly came to the 3 goddesses' statues.
Is this your idea of a joke, you three stooges? What point is giving me trainer's skills if I can't be a trainer, you dimwits?
The young man squints his eyes at the statues, making sure that his discontent is blazing through his vision. If he were an X-Men, he would be Cyclops.
"Wait! Please not this time, Goldship!! This is a limited-time sundae!"
As if to answer his discontent, the 3 goddesses send to him a particular dessert-loving Uma Musume. The cutesy cry of a light purple-haired Uma Musume catches the attention of the young man. The prominent figure of the Mejiro family, Mejiro McQueen, is running as if death is coming to get her with a delicious-looking sundae in her hands.
*DING*
[Lucky Pervert]
"KKKYYYYAAAAAHHHH!!"
Goddesses damn it…
Nobody knows whether it was because the Mejiro girl didn't look where she was going, but the Uma Musume tripped just in front of the young man. With her momentum, they would crash into each other.
The young man had already been very much accustomed to this whole scene. He knows that his [Lucky Pervert] skill has just activated, so if he is to let himself be consumed by his fate, he will surely experience heaven.
That sounds good and all, but she is a Mejiro. That heaven will drag me to the deepest part of the basement hell. On the other hand, that sundae does look delicious, though.
The young man digs his feet into the ground and uses his power stat to jump sideways. Away from the Mejiro lady's path.
"UH!"
With nothing in her way, Mejiro McQueen falls face down onto the ground, but not her sundae. The young man activates his [Truth Seeing Eyes] to get an enhanced vision of the sundae, predicting its path and the best course of action.
I see it!! The path that will lead me to the truth!!
The young man grabbed the transparent plastic cup and scooped all of the sundae back into its container with none wasted. It still has its pristine look even after almost falling to the ground.
"Perfect."
The young man compliments himself and considers walking away with the sundae in his hands. But he considers himself a gentleman, so at least he needs to thank the loser for giving him a free dessert.
"Hey, thanks for the dessert."
As the young man turns around to see the fallen noble lady, he understands that his skill doesn't always need to have him physically affected by it. The fallen noble lady has her ass up and skirt flipped, giving the young man a good and healthy view of her fabric-covered bottom.
"Let me correct myself. Desserts."
"KKYYYAAAAHHHH!!!"
The noble lady quickly sat up and pushed down her skirt. The unusual feeling of cold wind on her normally protected bottom caused a jolt to run through the noble's spine and caused the exaggerated reaction.
"Yo–You!! You saw it, didn't you?"
"Light pinkish purple. F-zero-b-d-f-f. Quite the cute color, lady."
"EEEKKK!! Pervert!!"
"I'm sorry. Which one of us flashes their underwear? Wasn't me, was it?"
"It was an accident!!"
"Of course, all criminals said that after being confronted. I wonder what people will say when they know a beautiful Mejiro lady flashes a young man she just met."
"You will not tell anyone!!"
The Mejiro lady quickly got up and approached the man. Just thinking about the outcry of said future already causes the young Mejiro lady's stomach to fall. Surely her future, not only as a renowned racing Uma Musume, but as a woman in general, would be jeopardized. She can't let such a future to come, no matter the cost.
"My mouth isn't cheap, young lady."
"What do you want?! Name it. I'll give you anything!"
I love that combination of words.
The young man couldn't help but smile a devilish grin at the desperate young lady's words. If only the young lady had minded her words, then surely, the young man wouldn't have been able to ask her for something outrageous. Alas, that had not happened, and the young lady's fate had been sealed.
"I want your body."
