Chapter 211

Not planning to take a break? Newcomers always have enthusiasm, all I can say is keep pushing, Lindun trainer—let's discuss any issues later, and if anything comes up in training, remember to ask! I might come find you in a few days to ask about cultivation matters.

Lindun bro! See you after summer break!

See you later, Lindun trainer.

……

He immediately went to collect the parcel—if he couldn't, let's not even mention him having to watch the training here; just saying farewell before the long break unexpectedly consumed time.

The activity room was probably being visited by so many people in rotation for the first time.

First came the special week led by Xiqí Feng, along with Dazhenhan, Yamato Akaji, and Vodka.

The Eastern Sea Emperor, who had gotten along quite well with Morrison a few days earlier, didn't show up, leaving the electronic vampire lamenting his misplaced affection.

Aomo naturally ignored him, first getting up to go receive them.

Everyone except Yamato Akaji, upon arriving, was first surprised by the activity room's artistic style.

The laboratory, storage room, and training room were all being handled by a single classroom.

It's worth noting that Yamato Akaji clearly came for Ailisuzhi, greeting the others only as an aside.

Vodka, however, asked if he was going to race against Maruzen Sukī, which made Aomo furrow his brow a bit, wondering how something he hadn't actually agreed to had spread.

Compared to that fiery‑passioned Miss Maruzen, it feels more likely to be Qianming's doing.

Of course, Miss Dazhenhan's 'see you later' also caught his attention a bit.

That phrasing doesn't sound like a long farewell.

As for Xiqí Feng, he clearly is the type who would occasionally keep in touch and visit even during the summer break.

He naturally welcomed that.

Mutual help and guidance certainly shouldn't be cut off just because of summer break.

Not long after his team left—less than ten or so minutes—Mitaka Ayaka arrived together with Narita Shirohito.

Both of them were likewise surprised by the activity room's artistic style as seen by Aomo Lindun trainer, yet they didn't say anything.

The former said he'd honor the agreement and come every day during the summer—such a dutiful script number one really surprised Aomo, who immediately replied that there was no need to come daily; coming when free was fine.

It's true that a few of his subordinates also intend to work hard over the summer, but only the Mihama Bourbon, Ailisuzhi, and Manchester Chazuo training plans lack that intensity and frequency; considering Bourbon's self‑discipline, there's really no need to watch them every day.

Aomo himself just needs to keep an eye on them each day.

Besides, her leg is healed now; coming so many times makes Aomo a bit uneasy—meaning he fears being summoned by her for a run.

Fortunately, Narita Shirohito's vacation apparently does have plans; after hearing him out, although Aomo felt somewhat torn and even a little ashamed, he still agreed and didn't back out.

By contrast, Mitaka Ayaka directly brought him several books and notebooks.

"Nutrition Science," "The Wisdom of Running," "Classic Running Training Method," 【Grassland Suitability Horse Girl Training Notes, 2.1 edition】…… slamming them on the desk left Aomo stunned for a moment, thinking this person's initiative far outstrips that of Xiqí Feng, who can only come over to look and then offer some advice verbally.

Of course, I'm talking about initiative.

In fact, Mitaka Ayaka's trainer style and Xiqí Feng's trainer style differ not only obviously but are even somewhat opposed.

This is the difference between the theoretical faction and the instinctual faction.

The latter may sound a bit off‑key at times, but with sufficient unique insight and rich experience, it can also achieve accomplishments on par with the former.

Xiqí Feng has already proven his ability with his record, while Mitaka Ayaka personally discovered and cultivated the trainer of the Triple Crown horse girl.

Speaking utilitarily, both are central elites who can show Aomo their respective help, making his social plan half‑done.

Of course, if we're not being utilitarian, there are still many coworkers he doesn't know, and mastering 'human relations' still requires extra effort.

However, he hadn't even gotten to see those two off when Yuhui Er trainer also arrived with the Sky‑High Shrine, catching him somewhat off guard.

For a moment, Aomo felt as if he had the illusion of being a 'real‑life person with many friends'.

It's just an illusion, right?

If Ailisuzhi could read his thoughts, she'd probably scoff contemptuously—this is no longer just a 'real‑life person'; it's a real‑life person maintaining several deep bonds.

How many friends can one person have who would specially seek you out just to say goodbye before a long vacation?

Although these two's attitudes really don't resemble friends, they're more like subordinates.

In his trainer posture he's humble and deferential, as if he were the junior; as a horse girl he's timid and careful, showing none of the spirited vigor he once had.

Back then Aomo hadn't noticed, but now it seems he's a little afraid of himself.

It's like a poor‑student's fear of the homeroom teacher—even if the teacher won't harm him, he'll avoid the teacher's gaze.

That's naturally unnecessary; the Sky‑High Shrine isn't a wicked person trying to rule through fear.

But just with words, it's genuinely hard to overturn this heart‑grown fear.

We still need to let time give the answer.

And after that, the activity room received a visit from Miss Shunchuan Jiangsheng——

——her overtime work wasn't over yet, and she was far from being on break, but after confirming Aomo's submitted campus‑facilities‑use application, she couldn't help but pay a personal visit.

Mainly, she misunderstood that application as the 'common fear of insufficient work among new trainers'.

Just like 'insufficient‑power anxiety syndrome,' she felt her work hours were too short and her time raising horse girls inadequate, so she unusually worked overtime, even having her subordinates over‑train the horse girls——

——indeed, many newcomers have exhibited such anxious behavior before.

Considering Aomo was a special‑case newcomer recruited at the end of the term, the likelihood of such unwise mentality is even higher.

Explaining things to her also took Aomo considerable effort.

After that came visitors Mi Yu, Yuzu Juji, and the one who once made Aomo 'unable to forget'—the 'root of all evil': Ailishuma classmate.

Once this group had all been received, the rain had stopped and the activity room was able to resume training.

But it didn't last long before noon arrived.

Aomo then realized the biggest inconvenience of the summer campus was that the cafeteria was closed.

He's done for—he'll have to figure out lunch himself.

Thinking again about the food intake of the three horse girls, Aomo felt even more completely at ease.

Today I'll first take them out to solve the meal issue; tomorrow I'll start letting the office kitchen cook—Aomo thought that.

Restaurant and eatery expenses are quite high; it's better to cook ourselves. Conveniently, Trainer Potian also slipped him a copy of "Nutrition Science", so he can browse it tonight.

But an hour after going out to eat, Aomo, who had brought the three horse girls back to campus, again rode his motorcycle slowly out of the campus.

"It's so desolate..."

Gazing at the school gate, he couldn't help but let out a muffled sigh.

There were no horse girl students chatting and walking by, no trainers or students' relatives passing by; even the honey drink carts often set up at the gate and other snack stalls like takoyaki and taiyaki had mostly disappeared.

The remaining stall owners were also in the process of packing up. Since they relied on school members as their customer base, they should also change locations to do business during the summer break.

However, at this time it's already the tail end of the stall-packing, which also proves that those girls' relocation efficiency is truly fast.

They probably have fully mastered acceleration skills like 'Sure Victory', 'Swift as Battle Wind', 'Fully Prepared', 'Fugitive', and 'Nonstop Girl'.

The source-energy techniques of the Three Goddesses lineage are mostly quite practical.

Not limited to leg strengthening, they also optimize stamina, coordination, etc.; however, this practicality isn't very evident in the few horse girls under his command, so Aomo thinks they could try practicing this aspect as well.

Skills are a collection of techniques; it's not over just after learning and releasing them. You need to learn to dissect them, to grasp their variables, only then can you wield them as smoothly as moving your arms, even altering their structure.

Just like Aomo's highly personal 'Mage's Hand', it looks like some kind of custom skin.

But that's merely doing a few modifications.

Truly major modifications to spells can be applied for new patents; the Source Energy Magic Association registers thousands of new spells each year, but only a small portion, after passing review for stability and learning threshold, can be listed in teaching materials as variants of the original spells.

Aomo has also recently subscribed to several channels announcing new spells.

Before, he only learned low-mana spells due to convenience and insufficient mana accumulation, but now, with his D-rank mana rating, he's more than capable of handling a few big ones.

But to really study them, he still needs to find time to go to the training ground; otherwise, those few 'big ones' could easily get him heavily fined, bringing disaster to his just-relaxed wallet.

He just received a payment, and the end-of-month salary is also approaching; although he's been on the job less than half a month, according to the daily-wage calculation algorithm, he can still pretty well imagine next month's full compensation.

At times like this, he shouldn't add new burdens to himself.

He should even take on a few gigs as a temporary worker for Penguin Logistics to earn some pocket money.

Unfortunately, instead of resting at this time, he drove off campus—not to work as a courier, but to pick up a parcel.

Now that he's free, he should go pick up Kailifu's luggage.
