NO．173：A flash of inspiration can be used

【AgnesTachyon】

The full name, rarely heard, spoken from those eyes that are no longer sharp, full of regret, shows utter indifference, yet it makes the crimson behind the light barrier tremble.

"You have half a day to think; don't yield to the resistance of thinking, really ponder what the true Ailisuzhi should be like."

Saying that, he put his glasses back on, picked up the stack of documents, and walked away.

He walked away cleanly and decisively, as if proving his earlier words, without stopping or looking back.

She remained where she was, watching the door where he disappeared for a while, then unconsciously pulled herself together, recalling that the temperature in early April was still not warm.

Although it wasn't warm, a horse girl's physique is far beyond ordinary; she should have been indifferent to it, but what she ought to have cared about was his words that instinctively angered her.

Yet she indeed showed no sign of anger, merely standing in place for a moment, then shaking her head and sighing.

"What should the true Ailisuzhi be like……"

"By the way, does this count as a vacation?"

"It's a weekend, which should definitely be a holiday, but the Gaoyue Prize is just a few days away, so even weekend time will be used up every minute by everyone."

The result is Ailisuzhi's belated realization at present.

In the process of thinking about what she could do on her vacation, the only answer that came to mind was still that one.

Experiment.

She strode straight to the activity room, which also served as her test bench; while everyone else was rushing to train, that place was the most relaxing world for her.

This action, seen by the few people lurking in the shadows, only deepened their worry, prompting the youth who had previously been cold and sarcastic to let out a sigh first.

"This also won't work."

"Although there was some effect, the result is not ideal."

"I'm actually more curious what extra experiences she's had compared to us; that day she seemed the quickest to react, yet now she acts as if she's fallen into depression."

Beside him, a brown-haired horse girl who projects both laziness and initiative poked her head out, only noticing that the distant chestnut-haired horse girl's condition was off, so she didn't simply turn back to see through her.

Even so, she couldn't escape being mocked by her teammates' juniors: 'Otherwise, shouldn't you be coming here every few days like you do?'

Called teasing, but it's actually just that dull tone.

When the team's most aggressive mouthpiece player is emo, the one who takes over the battle flag is Aimu Zhiji, who formerly projected a cold, sharp style.

She indeed shows no hesitation; after all, this woman is already clinging to the wall with everyone, and moreover she's pressing up against the trainer, almost sticking to him!

With this scene before her, even any hesitation she might have out of respect for her seniors can be cast aside.

But this person retorted firmly: 'Just as you're preparing for the Gaoyue, I can't put down the Spring Terra Prize after winning the Canaan Cup either—it's all less than a month away!'

That's a practical reason, so Aizhi, Chazuo beside her, and Bourbon don't bother to say more; after all, once the trainer steps two steps away and creates distance, everyone's focus remains on Suzi.

To be honest, at first it was like what Sirius asked. Even though we were all emo together, apologizing together, and returning to training together, it was precisely Suzi, who had been in the best condition initially and seemed completely unaffected, who displayed this delayed trauma that none of us had—for a while, not only Bourbon and Aizhi, but even Chazuo, who knew her best, had two days of observation and bewilderment.

They even consulted the trainer, who also noticed it and had several speculations in mind, just unsure which one.

This certainly shouldn't be delayed, especially since Aomo is still maintaining, during the same period, his 'listening room' that already has many clients among the trainer circle, doing the work of listening and guiding those people.

——With this ability, shouldn't he be giving it to his subordinates' horse girls who have mental issues?

Yet he also took an action that people somewhat understand but find hard to accept.

He observed and let things be, as if waiting for her to come out on her own; clearly the time is tighter than Sirius said—the Spring Terra Prize, formerly the Spring Emperor Prize, is at least in late April, but the Gaoyue Prize is in the first half, just a few days away, under a week from now.

Given all this, shouldn't we take compulsory measures?

Should we let her waste these days with lukewarm training?

"Don't rush, time won't be wasted."

At times like this, he still says that; clearly one can see worry and concern in his cold gaze, yet he still stops everyone from directly confronting her to get everything clear.

"You couldn't be thinking……"

Suddenly, Sirius seemed to recall something, turning his head with eyes full of suspicion.

"You're not hoping her innate skill will just leap up, are you?"

Compared to the physical improvement possible from a few weeks of emergency training, if her innate skill awakened early in her career could be raised from usable to perfect, that would indeed be a greater gain.

But that's generally unrealistic, because it would mean seeing oneself more clearly in advance, and gaining in advance the experience that should only accumulate after collisions on the track—yet both the central and local Difangteleisen are dedicated to building an ivory tower for horse girls, so such a thing shouldn't happen.

After all, accumulating experience is itself a process of accumulating setbacks; those who win smoothly often see little, while only those who have endured hardship can possibly see their true nature.

Yet Aomo Lindun responded very bluntly to that horse girl who dislikes lies and makeshift solutions, and even more dislikes nitpicking.

He countered: 'Why not?'

"By now, even Holleyha has come to look several times; don't you realize that the reason she can't step forward like everyone else is itself an inner strength? You've also encountered that strength, and you should be as familiar with it as they are."

Following his gaze, Sirius looked at Chazuo, Bourbon, and Aizhi, each meeting her eyes.

The emotions in those eyes varied, yet none showed even a hint of surprise—undoubtedly the best confirmation of the trainer's words.

And when speaking of the power she has contacted, which is as familiar to them as it is to her, she instinctively thought of the high‑level skill later in the Three Goddesses' lineage that all horse girls would encounter, but then a flash of insight appeared in the dark silhouette beckoning from afar——

"Could it be… a monster?"

"No, how did that thing get in?! Where are the guards?!"

She then belatedly reacted, glaring at the absolutely dangerous Beast King, yet saw Aomo, who oversees the most critical formation of Difangteleisen's security forces, walk past her and approach the opposite side.

"'How does it feel to look at it? Is it terminally ill?' he asked, looking up at it."

"'…Contact, already very close; wanting to cut it off, also need to send it to the hospital.' Turning his gaze toward the direction where Ailisuzhi had gone, the Beast King's view was clearly not optimistic."

" 'Carmilla's card—you took it from me earlier, and actually gave it to her, preparing it for her?'"

" 'Don't you think she's suitable? With her foundation, to succeed she needs such a whetstone.'"

" 'They, too?'"

The blood light scanning from the helmet's eye sockets swept over the girls following behind to Aomo's side; the Beast King alone did not look at the Sirius he only slightly remembered.

And facing the gaze of this theoretically future‑version trainer from another universe, Chazuo's eyes were full of curiosity, Bourbon's held a faint sorrow, while Aizhi merely looked back and forth between him and the trainer, then moved up beside Aomo, nudging Sirius aside.

"All the same."

"Aomo, who didn't care about this small gesture, simply raised a hand and patted the head beside him, not bothering to ask whose it was."

"Monsters are not only the whetstone of the Ultraman warriors, but also the whetstone of the human heart, and conversely are forged by the human heart—don't you think so?"

"If that sect could realize this, it would save a lot of trouble."

"Then we probably won't meet again—how about it? Grandma is actually quite eager to see you; are you interested?"

"Decline on my behalf."

"I suppose so, but I still need you to check on the condition of all of them; it's not too much trouble, is it?"

"Is this also part of their training?"

"Naturally, it can be."

"Bold to the point of recklessness."

"We trainers are like this."
