Chapter 1408: with translation of chapter title

NO．24：The second step after the worry confession section

"Ha! Look what I saw!! It's amazing, Jie De this kid actually agreed to train! Old man, can you believe this guy previously, no matter how we tried to persuade him, he refused to join training?"

"Um… I'm not too clear about this child's past appearance, so it's not appropriate to comment on the reasons for his change, but maybe it's because you all previously didn't master the correct way of persuasion."

"Oh dear, what's correct or incorrect about it, old man? What we said is all practical."

"Whether the rhetoric is correct or not is important; otherwise it would cause someone to hold a grudge for life, Sai Luo." Aomo, displeased, wiped the sweat from his face, stood up, then took the tongs, picked up a hot towel, and handed it to each of the four girls' training equipment.

He also glanced at her slightly bowed posture, curiously observing Chazuo's small face when she exerted effort, and felt that she seemed not really observing properly, just like a curious baby sizing up various training equipment and the people using them.

Or maybe he just laughed and asked if he should help wipe sweat or something.

Not to mention how the towel-wiping in the dream works; if a bunch of towels really wiped his face on their own, Aomo would still have to explain that he was trying a new source energy technique.

So indeed, it's still self-reliance; don't think about living like a young master.

Then go see the true eldest son of the Sai family, and point out his somewhat thoughtless remarks.

If it weren't for the friendly elder beside him, his aggressiveness could be even stronger, fully showing brotherly affection.

But since Uncle Vlad is present, even the phone has an electronic foster father temporarily shifting location, using the phone ring function to emit a greeting, so he naturally still has to choose the Eastflame-style gentleman's philosophy.

Hide the weapon on the body, wait for the right moment to act; anyway the opportunity is right now.

While he was greeting Uncle Vlad and, incidentally, curious about the uncle's and Sai Luo's interaction, Chao Cang Lu had already, while exerting himself, awkwardly brought up the Carrot Man issue again.

Hmm, he hasn't forgotten yet.

And the result of not forgetting is that Sai Luo hurriedly tells him not to mention it; even if he must bring it up, it should be via telepathy, not spoken loudly.

Here, there are excellent-hearing horse girls everywhere; even standing next to Chao Cang Lu is one who will help him wipe sweat.

The temporary trainer Chao Cang Lu gets along well with classmate Mi Yu, and that's exactly why Aomo's earlier assumption could be so specific.

Also "long distance", "medium distance", "lead", and "big escape" etc.; actually it's constantly precisely refining Mi Yu's currently strong tracks, running style, even the learned Three Goddesses System Source Energy Technique—these are information points that Aomo, as an old intelligence officer who often updates information, can achieve.

As for Chao Cang Lu, who directly signed a contract to become a temporary trainer, he naturally doesn't need to beat around the bush, and cautiously strives to grasp and verify.

Confident and straightforward, a question yields an answer, but the information obtained ultimately lacks practical feel, especially for a youngster who entered the field halfway; Chao Cang Lu still has much to learn and see, and suddenly becoming a trainer only makes everything seem fresh, strange, and bewildering to him.

— bewildered about what he should do and how to guide training.

If it were purely intellectual training—reading, drawing, playing chess, that would be fine; but when it comes to strength, endurance, speed, etc., these trainings can easily cause injury if mishandled, and they are a completely different pressure from the email handling when he previously swapped identities with someone from Iga Li.

But after half a year, this pressure has been gradually adapted to and learned, making progress.

James Stuart is not the kind of trainer who, after entrusting Mi Yu to Chao Cang Lu, completely ignores his duties; he has been teaching Chao Cang Lu all along and occasionally comes over to check on Mi Yu.

To him, this process is like occasionally checking his younger siblings' exam scores, but for Chao Cang Lu himself, each time is a trial.

And after this half year, Chao Cang Lu, who has gone through nearly a hundred trials, not only is his temporary trainer work gradually getting started and on the right track, but his rapport with the horse girls, already starting from a relatively high point, has become even more affectionate.

Moreover, because of this closeness, Aomo's vaguely described "panic" and "urgency" will make him, upon hearing them, immediately imagine the corresponding situation—in fact, over these months he has often experienced it; Mi Yu is a child who is insecure and timid, and he panics due to his own mistakes and the trouble he causes others, and he feels urgent when trying to make amends or express goodwill.

This makes Aomo Lindun's words, to others, seem like "you only need to say half, and the other half the other person will fill in themselves, scaring themselves"; but to Chao Cang Lu himself, it's practically a summary and distillation of the past!

One sentence laid bare his countless sorrows, and it is also a precise prediction of the future!

It's basically like installing a camera in his own activity room; describing it in that flat tone, he expresses his full belief that it will happen in the future, and it easily lets him break his former "persistence".

This persistence naturally deserves quotation marks, because Chao Cang Lu's past refusal to cultivate was merely due to indecisive will; he can't even clearly recall why he refused back then, only remembering that Sai Luo was selling Carrot Man spoilers early in the morning.

That was the real-life Carrot Man from the Carrot Man series that Mi Yu loves to watch!

"Nutrition full marks! Justice full marks! Carrot substance transformation, CarrotMAN!"

Like the Flash's catchy slogan, Mr. Chao Cang Lu, who can easily recite it, also usually counts as a fellow enthusiast who can happily chat about movies with Micro-light Steed and New Light Wind.

In fact, when he chats with the Micro-light Steed that originally appeared beside Sai Luo about special effects, they hit it off immediately; but as a new trainer he has too much to study and too little free time, so actual interaction opportunities are few.

He once wondered in front of Sai Luo whether the Micro-light Steed had many friends, since he rarely saw her on campus.

Could it be that his own bad luck makes him constantly miss the chance to call her to join the special effects viewing club? — This thought always lingers in his mind, and he once even voiced it, letting Sai Luo confirm.

At that time, Sai Luo himself wasn't certain, didn't pay much attention, just gave a casual response; now thinking back, it's subtle, and moreover it's fortunate that he at least didn't go find Aomo to talk about this.

"Fortunate? Could it be that I wouldn't blurt it out like you do, and even if I did speak, I would make sure to give proper instructions and also prepare for the possibility that he might leak information?"

"Maa maa maa, anyway I admit it's my fault; I just casually mentioned a couple of things, never expecting him to care so much."

"Just casually mentioned a couple of things?"

"Um… I, I'll tell him later."

"Got the news the first day, went to show off the second day—you really are something, Young Master Sai."

"What Young Master Sai, I didn't even say it out loud; it's just that Chao Cang Lu really seems to want to know."

"If he's annoyed by the harassment, let him come find me; I guess he has no other channel to suddenly get news of the real-life Carrot Man transformer, so the cause he himself started shouldn't be swallowed by himself, right?"

While sitting beside and chatting with Vlad III about recent circumstances, work status, the vitality and hobbies of young people, even mentioning that Chaldea has a few so-called "transformation heroes" and fully armored warriors, Aomo can easily disguise himself as talkative with his rhetoric, and at the same time, while keeping the topic orderly, he can conduct another topic's denunciation via telepathy.

"Help me out, at least give me some reference on how to say things properly; I really am not good at this."

"Then why not go look after Miss Gechengwangpai more? Your patrol route can add a stretch in the back hills."

"She's gone back again? Isn't it already possible to make it public?"

Since he had appeared in the year-end Dream Cup, the matter of recovery naturally no longer needs to be hidden; Gechengwangpai is now able to openly enter the central training ground and β training hall, which also lets Sai Luo rest assured in letting Lipiya continue to be responsible, regardless of whether the latter will raise a question mark.

"Indeed, so I think you should go have a look, at least ask Ace."

"... Alright, then what about Jie De?"

"You go now; whether it's Chao Cang Lu or Uncle Vlad's side, I can explain on your behalf."

"Okay!"
