【Yuehuanshe: There's a slight situation; when I return later, please everyone lower your speaking frequency to make space for Ludaofu】

【Training, balancing work and rest, then training: Received, Master】

【You're a promising seedling, experimental use: Huh~? What happened again】

【Vega: Trying to talk to Sirius but it's about Ludaofu】

【Deep Brew Coffee: Is it related to that matter?】

【You're a promising seedling, experimental use: Hmm? Which one is that again】

Guinea Pig-kun, what other little secrets are you two hiding from everyone?

【Yuehuanshe: Please don't drag personal privacy into malicious concealment】

And you guys also know about this.

It's Chazuo's motivation for entering the competition.

【Vega: Is the president also】

【You're a promising seedling, experimental use: What? This thing? Boring】

【Vega：？】 -> Vega.

【Training, balancing work and rest, then training: Marusen senior has also been worried for a while】

【Vega: You all know about this?】

【You're a promising seedling, experimental use: Haha, you've had no contact with that gang, right? Want to also go find a contemporary mentor? I think Sirius would suit you well, and that championship outfit also looks a lot like you】

「Number one popularity, Sirius Symbol! This returning hunter, Sirius, hasn't participated in many events this year, but even so, they are the most active runner in all of Team Ophiuchus! 」

「Furthermore, their running posture is completely different from before; calling it a rebirth is not an exaggeration. 」

「That's why! She has gained immense popularity, and everyone is looking forward to the running she will bring. 」

It can be said that because she appeared in the gate-entry camera introduction, Ailisuzhi casually brought it up, and then got a response from a companion beside her tapping on their phone screen.

【Vega: Where does it resemble】

Although they are less than a foot apart, the rebuttal isn't aimed at the other person. Therefore, what Aimu Zhiji needs is not to speak directly, but to act through the characters on the screen.

【So you all heard this from the seniors? Bai Ren senior and Qianming senior know about it too】

【You're a promising seedling, experimental use: After all, it's another social circle; Ludaofu Symbol's position is like the center of a spider web, right? That's fine to say, isn't it】

【Yuehuanshe: Adding an honorific makes it fine】

【You're a promising seedling, experimental use: No】

As for the contract with Guinea Pig-kun, I'm probably their senior.

【Deep Brew Coffee: So… is the issue with Ludaofu senior】

【Yuehuanshe: As of now, it seems like this】

【Deep Brew Coffee: Going around in circles……】

【Vega：……】 -> Vega.

【Older sister is wondering just how much she has missed】

【Vega: We really can't use that more convenient communication software】

【You're a promising seedling, experimental use: You just want to recall the message】

【Training, balancing work and rest, then training: Does the Aizhi team member need to report】

？ -> none.

That sounds a bit too……

Formal?

... Wait, wait!

While halfway through typing in the input field, hearing the familiar footsteps, Aimu Zhiji looked up to see Aomo Lindon approaching amid greetings from those around, and instinctively pulled her phone back a bit.

However, this slightly deliberate small action instead drew the other person's gaze, and then, under their light laugh, she slowly lowered her head and turned her face away.

At times like this, one advantage of horse girls over ordinary girls is that their ears don't obviously turn red. However, if one doesn't notice their ears curling, this becomes a more conspicuous disadvantage, adding a hint of bewilderment to the trainer's smile.

It's cute, sure, but it doesn't matter to either of them right now.

Aimu Zhiji is still 'reflecting' on her unnecessary action just now. Because after the classic Triple Crown ended, the trainer indeed no longer avoided expressing certain aspects to everyone, just as he had initially hinted.

The change is very obvious, comparable to a major version update.

Aomo Lindon no longer avoids intimate expressions from the high school division horse girls as if it were taboo; instead, he begins to face various advances with a mature and steady calm, bringing up topics he previously wouldn't have dared to mention into the open.

For example, related to favorability, or emotions.

Occasionally, a counterattack can leave the attacker stunned and silent for a long time, fully revealing everyone's tendency to aim high but lack skill.

The episode of the worst at love. jpg

It's also at this point that these girls finally realize that the trainer is actually a playboy with many girlfriends.

Clearly, whenever their offensive was blocked, they would mutter and complain about this, especially resenting how the other person could have so many women around yet they couldn't have one; once they actually confronted each other, they'd again mutter and complain about how the other person could be so malicious.

Each one claimed to surpass their teammates, attacking fiercely like a tide, but in the end they all had only paper-thin defenses; after a couple of teasing remarks, they could only avoid blushing, stay silent for a while, lose responsiveness, or simply run away… reactions varied, and even the substitute players of the Gemini star couldn't break through the wall of sighs over lifelong singleness, and at crucial moments they still dropped the baton.

Moreover, because substitutes were often present, they essentially lost many growth opportunities, and over a few months they even retained this habit: although the small chat room conversations were already open and there was nothing to hide, they would still unconsciously avoid the trainer's view, guarding against his gaze.

It's practically an occupational hazard of underground workers.

When the younger sister starts complaining, they become even more like a self-loathing silent scarecrow, standing there motionless; if not for the person beside them being Narita Road and a good opera, they probably wouldn't change until the competition ends.

All we can say is that experience not personally undergone is hard to count as one's own.

A bunch of high school girls from an all-girls school with no love experience, even if they've been studying literature (meaning love manga) for the past year, still fumble clumsily in practice.

Hmm, the high school girl ghost attached to the older sister is the same.

By comparison, I truly cannot contend with the gifted Sea King who switches to frontal combat mode.

Indeed, Aomo Lindun also has rich practical experience; one could even say it's thanks to his girlfriends' varied personalities that he's accumulated multiple dating experiences, so calling it merely talent would be unfair.

But he can truly absorb over half of experiences he hasn't personally undergone.

This ability to empathically comprehend at such a high level is itself an anomaly; even saying it's due to demonic bloodline would be overestimating the latter, and moreover, he has studied it deeply, consciously employing this talent to absorb knowledge.

Even now he remains in a state of rapid growth, as if there were no bottleneck.

To others, this can only be called talent.

After all, although lifelong learning is a widely held belief, actual statistics clearly show that humanity's golden learning period is from birth to youth.

Yet statistics for this period are also unfair, since everyone knows the education industry plays a role—only through compulsory education's efforts can people learn so much during this time.

Regardless of physiological or psychological perspective, youth is indeed when thinking is most active, receptivity strongest, and thus comprehension ability peaks.

But this is not absolute.

Because contemporary society is not lacking in young people with rich experience, the so-called 'fast-track citizens'.

They can be innate, stemming from life experiences—like the eventful and compact Aomo Lindun—or acquired, through methods such as super dream, crystal element, sudden enlightenment, and initiation, forming the so-called 'premature aging' group.

But regardless of which, it's easy to fall into an 'aging' mindset.

Feeling life's weariness too early, longing prematurely for a slower-paced lifestyle, and in this process letting learning and receptivity deteriorate—it's just as regrettable as some long-lived species eliminated by society.

But fortunately, today's social environment is far better than when those long-lived species were weeded out; a prematurely aged mindset can be changed if one wishes, and even if one doesn't want to change, one can still live stably—though it's hard not to feel envy and admiration toward people like Aomo Lindun.

Clearly yearning for a plant-like lifestyle, yet somehow able to summon an untiring vigor to boost learning—this mindset, both contradictory and utterly unreasonable, what could possibly sustain it?
