Chapter 785

NO. 154: What exactly is my job?

The rain went sizzle-sizzle, just like the unceasing inner thoughts of some people.

When Aomo lifted the tea cup and took a sip, the brown-haired girl over there had already handed the second cup of tea to another black-haired young man.

Ah… thank you.

Quite nice tea.

The young man's somewhat flattered response, together with someone's leisurely praise, came one after another, causing the girl's overturned ears on her head to lift slightly, and the swaying ponytail fully exposed in someone's view also steadied a bit.

But it was somewhat unexpected… Aomo, having shifted his gaze, glanced at the window.

After turning off the partition device installed on the windowsill, a slight coolness seeped out from the gaps, neutralizing the invitingly languid warm air inside the activity room.

And on the far training field, where it was even cooler, a certain 'human' unafraid of wind and rain was dragging another 'human' who still wanted to keep resting, stepping onto the path of the elders——

——Special training!

While the horse girls would still be notified by trainers to pause outdoor training, the Ultraman warrior had already dragged the super agent into the wind and rain.

Aomo wasn't surprised that he could activate the training field's training system.

Although ordinary tourists could never obtain this permission, the Ultraman warrior clearly falls outside that ordinary category.

Just based on the treatment Jie Si Ti Si received when he visited, one can imagine how the more famous Sai Luo Ultraman would be treated.

Although the other party would likely prefer to keep things simple, even remembering to hide their identity, some permissions that are easy to grant will still be given.

The only problem lies in…… the AI Three Goddesses monitoring the academy, which has both good and bad aspects.

The benefit is that the supervision itself can curb certain chaos, and even with the network also under management, it can also handle the photos spreading on Umastagram.

Specifically, a few photos…… like the one where 'Yi He Li Lingren' has his coat draped over his shoulders, looking roguish, walking side by side with the calm, neatly dressed Aomo Lindun.

Also like a photo of Chao Cang Lu and Mi Yu chatting and laughing.

Also a photo of 'Lingren' walking down the hallway with Xiao Lu and Aomo.

Although Central Trisen has many male staff, teachers, and trainers, its essence remains a girls' school with an overwhelmingly female ratio.

Here the female students have an astonishing memory for male faces; whenever a strange male face appears on campus, they can stir up ripples of discussion both online and offline.

And when these female students happen to be interested in tokusatsu, or have indeed caught a glimpse of some Ultraman works…… no, there's no need to guess at such a low proportion.

Because the proportion of Jidong horse girls at Central is not small, and tokusatsu works that include the Ultraman IP are exactly an indispensable part of these Jidong people's childhood.

So those ripples of topic will turn into whirlpools.

As the heated discussion drags in more and more attention——this is precisely the domain where the AI Goddesses exert their influence.

Whether it's spreading rumors to counter rumors, using this to steer the wind with rhythm, or raising the priority of other topics and throwing out heavier topics to shift attention, these are operations they don't usually need to use, but if needed they can handle them with ease.

Although they study humans, the AIs are not human; they won't get rusty from lack of use, nor will their condition deteriorate from real-world interference.

But as AIs, their databases are also enormously large, posing the risk of being hacked and having information stolen without their knowledge.

That said, the conversation comes back around.

As the Three Goddesses AI, they manage not only Central Trisen but also a vast database encompassing many horse girl academies; they are like a high-hanging target, and the hacker groups that attempt to attack them and 'sacrifice' themselves are countless, with possible data-layer attacks and defenses occurring at any moment.

And yet, under these premises, these three have never had an incident; at one point rumors circulated that they were assisted by nodes of the Heart of Terra.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, an unbeaten record is always true.

Thus Aomo's risk considerations appear somewhat superfluous.

He himself knows this, so without overthinking he lets those two go, and a strange thought crosses his mind: 'Will that guy come ask me for a jeep?'

Just as he thought that, a light screen suddenly lit up:

【Still early by twenty thousand years!: Can you pull the wind and rain wider?】

"……" Aomo couldn't help but turn his gaze again toward the distance, where a dark red slit revealed a bright humanoid figure.

The humanoid's arm-waving motion is clearly discernible, not lacking a special tacit understanding.

He let out a silent sigh, and the snake pattern on his left chest and the silver chain on his cuff flashed a moment of iridescent light.

That iridescent glimmer was hardly noticeable, so much so that even Chao Cang Lu, upon catching it in the cup's rim reflection, thought it was an illusion.

And, while he had been glancing at Aimu Zhiji with the corner of his eye, he was slightly dazed, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes, yet he said nothing.

She is naturally reticent, and with a hint of guilt weighing on her, the mere fact that Aomo had promised to arrive in eleven or twelve minutes but showed up nearly half an hour late was enough to make her speak coldly.

Rather than, during the extra wait, occasionally checking the tea's temperature and reheating it, or running to the window to look out, and then, after the other person arrived, feigning calm—so much that the soul‑like sister beside her covered her mouth, afraid to laugh.

But when Mr. Chao Cang Lu appeared at the door behind Aomo, the sister instead returned to her sister's side, torn over whether to play a ghost‑appropriate prank to scare him away.

"I don't advise you to do anything, although I'm not sure what you want to do."

"……" A familiar voice suddenly rose in her heart, prompting her to instinctively look toward the trainer who had set down his tea cup; the latter was raising his hand, poking, slashing, dragging in mid‑air, as if unrelated to the voice in her heart.

"Your occasional glances at Mr. Chao Cang Lu are too obvious; although I don't know your motive, please be careful not to think of playing a prank just because ordinary students can't see through the concealment technique."

"Especially since the other party isn't even a student."

"There are far more source‑energy practitioners outside the school than you imagine, and although Mr. Chao Cang Lu isn't one, he is an Ultraman warrior whose identity you must keep secret."

"'Ultraman【? _??】' Sister Sang was stunned."

"Yes, you've also come into contact with those works?"

"'For a period when she was little, my sister was enthusiastic about looking up information related to the stars (•—•).'"

"'Such channels…… she would probably treat those beings of light like discarded shoes.'"

"'Well, back then my sister couldn't get into it, but I really like watching it (*￣︶￣)!'"

"'That's a fine hobby; I suggest you keep it.'"

"'Mm-hmm! (? ▽? *) I think my sister now might also watch it.'"

"'If that were the case, it couldn't be better.'"

Aomo, hearing that, glanced at Aimu Zhiji sitting in the corner; she lowered her head to look at her water cup, as if fallen into some reverie.

And when he turned his head again to look at Chao Cang Lu on the other side, the same reaction could also plunge him into a definite reverie.

Could it be that I'm not a trainer but a psychologist?

Could it be that this is not an activity room but a psychological clinic?
