Chapter 282

Title: NO. 44: Just see if he's into the dark style.

Jiemesi·Shiduhua is a trainer who came from Telesen in Hongying District to the Central.

Also, 'Hongying District' is a place name with meaning, so we translate it as Hongying District. 'Telesen' is likely a place name; as a meaningless proper noun, we use pinyin: Telesen. 'Central' is generic, so we keep it as Central. 'Trainer' is a rank, so we translate it as trainer.

Although being able to advance from the local level to Central is enough to prove his excellence, judging from his performance after arriving at Central, he has trained four horse girls in succession, yet none of them have managed to shine in races like the Arima Memorial or the Takarazuka Memorial, so he can only be considered a mediocre among Central trainers.

So why is he a famous trainer?

Because he's an unlucky bastard.

He is the person who was once urged by fellow time-travelers in the chat room to change the group name card to Shangtiao Dangma, saying it would look somewhat normal.

Of course, once you understand the value of the name Shangtiao Dangma, you could no longer consider this trainer normal.

According to his own disclosure in the chat room, this person was certified by the Astrology Association as having a dark astrological path and a tumultuous fate; in Eastern Flame terms, this means his destiny is deficient and his fate is hindered—indeed, he was born with bad luck.

Such a situation remains a rather troublesome problem even in modern times of technological advancement.

Attempts to defy fate and change destiny—such accounts in both Eastern and Western histories always carry a hint of heroic color.

But regardless of whether it still bears some tragic elements, that is not what being a trainer is about.

It's not that we look down on the profession of trainer; it's simply that trainers are already busy enough, with no time to study ways to defy fate and oppose the actual rules that exist.

Training a horse girl who can help break one's fate might be more practical.

Relatively successful horse girls have more or less all challenged the Fuchu Monster, which counts as experience in opposing fate; they also tend to be more sensitive to things like the Stage of Fate, and indeed they can be helpful.

Aomo isn't sure if he thinks the same way, but seeing that he has no intention of quitting and has been working diligently even before summer break, it's clear he at least hasn't thought about 'first fixing his own lousy luck'.

This is actually not hard to understand.

After all, according to the information Aomo has about this trainer, his bad luck may be constant, but it's only minor mishaps; truly fatal incidents are only a few, and those are spaced years apart, not clustered.

At this level, one could instead consult religious figures such as priests, shamans, or Daoist priests for paid talismans, temporarily obtaining correction or protection against bad luck.

The considerable salary of a Central trainer is mostly spent on this—as he said in an interview.

Um, the interview.

Although he has no outstanding achievements, he is also famous for the same reason: his participation in the trainer promotion project.

Variety show interviews, magazine appearances, or even self-promotion of their own ventures—indeed, some trainers choose this path to broaden their own roads, boost their own fame, whether for themselves or for the horse girls.

Or even for the sake of the entire industry.

Based on the widespread recognition that trainers and horse girls form a team, not only are horse girls important, but trainers themselves are also a key part of the Flash Series—advancing the URA Association's recognition of this fact is still one of Aomo's acquaintances.

Xiqi Feng trainer is both the proposer and the implementer, even the leading figure, of the trainer promotion project.

He even jokes in private, suggesting that Aomo should give it a try.

Because Aomo already has a considerable fan base thanks to the exposure of Heaven's Gate City, his appearance and demeanor are also not bad; being an overly young rookie trainer, and having a mercenary identity whose skills are unlikely to be lacking, are major selling points.

With packaging, he could totally debut on his own.

But Aomo can already see the future of this selling point becoming idolized in fan circles.

He can even see the possibility of a sort of 'villain route'.

In order to avoid being nailed to the textbook of trainer debut and being pointed at by later people, he naturally refused decisively.

Joking, now that I'm busy as both a trainer and a mercenary, you actually want to drag me into the depths of the entertainment industry?

After the full commercialization of the Flash Series, even trainers get a chance to take center stage; that sounds pretty good.

But that's just hearsay.

Xiqi Feng himself has become a typical example of being busy; the reason there's been no news from him these past two days is because he's indeed been running around everywhere.

Even if he has no horse girls under him needing special training for the summer camp, this person still has to act as Xiqi Feng trainer, running around doing various jobs selected by the agent.

Of course, this is also the top-tier busy treatment reserved for leading figures.

The URA Association's trainer promotion project list for this batch totals around a hundred people, and only the top ten are considered truly successful.

Jiemesi·Shiduhua is not among them.

Not engaging in side jobs, relying solely on the 'unlucky bastard' persona, he certainly won't reach the forefront of popularity, but because he is in the Jiemen District area, he still attracts attention from many people, and the incident where his vehicle collided with another famous horse girl, the Sirius symbol…

In the afternoon, Aomo indeed saw it in online news reports.

"Bopang, let's go out together."

"Yes, master."

"Huh? Why only call him Bopang-kun? Is it some special training?"

After dinner, during the digestion break, Suzi, who hadn't rushed to the lab, was quite surprised; Chazuo merely glanced at Bopang, then at Aomo and Qianming representative arriving at the door, then turned to look at the person with arms crossed, a 'friend' who seemed uninvolved, and said nothing.

Nobody in the whole room complained about the fact that Bopang just agreed to go without Aomo even stating the reason; the only person who asked was still curious about what they were going to do.

All we can say is that common sense has somewhat gone astray.

"This afternoon, you each do independent training; I'll take her to visit the sick."

"Visiting the sick? Is the trainer who got into the car accident an acquaintance of Bopang-chan?"

The unlucky trainer who makes the news easily becomes gossip at the horse girl and trainer dinner table, giving even disinterested monster researchers a chance to mock themselves—please be aware.

"Jiemesi·Shiduhua trainer currently has only one horse girl under his command."

Aomo greeted Beautiful Harbor Bopang with 'Get ready and come over right away', then supplemented that point to the few people in the living room:

"Her name is Miyu."

"Huh?" Xintiao Qian didn't quite understand.

But someone will explain it to her; Aomo has already walked out the door, heading straight for the small warehouse being used as a garage.

He pushed the motorcycle to the front door and stopped; after Bopang came out, Aomo held up the sole motorcycle helmet, turned it around, lowered it, and handed it to Bopang: 'Put it on.'

He pushed the motorcycle to the front door and stopped; when Bopang came out, Aomo held the sole motorcycle helmet, turned it around, lowered it, and handed it to Bopang, saying, "Put it on."

「master？」 No.

Unlike Suzi and Chazuo, Bopang's perception of trainers is that they generally aren't enough to transcend ordinary people, making her instinctively want to decline.

Then they saw silver-white magic light dots spreading out like dense waves.

At the edge where the waves scattered, the silver‑black intertwined demon straddled the motorcycle.

In the next second the motorcycle let out a fierce 'roar', and the demon‑skull front, which had been somewhat restrained, instantly 'activated' and unfurled.

Its body took on the form of a crouching demon: the sharp, twisted, violent limbs became metal rods linking the wheels, and the wings, as they slightly unfurled, drew together to form flame vents on either side of the frame—turning the whole machine into the very embodiment of ferocious beauty, power, and majesty.

This also made Qianming's eyes light up instantly.

Without waiting for Aomo's call, she hurried forward, bending and even squatting to inspect the bike, then rose and swung her leg over the seat.

She also carefully steered clear of the demon's rear, where the overlapping sections in front of both sides resembled a coat, yet those same parts would likewise expose the sharp edges of the wing span shielding the rear.

Because of the demon's towering frame, she seated behind could see nothing ahead, yet she could imagine that this would keep her from wind and sun.

Only shadows fell.

But the passenger didn't mind; her smile was free and easy: 'Turns out this bike has such a cool side!'

"Won't we be stopped by the police?"

"It's legal."

The helmet‑less head gave a low reply.
