"How do you feel, Dober-senpai?"
After training, Shirayuki found Dober and asked.
"I feel like I've improved a lot."
Normally, after training, Dober would be in a daze. Maybe she was stronger, maybe not; she couldn't feel the change.
But today, she clearly felt that her running was much easier. Just a simple change in her posture, and with the trainer's instructions to change her acceleration timing, had produced such a big difference.
Now she finally understood the difference between a trainer and an instructor. They provided personalized solutions, and the effects were immediate.
"That's good. It means you're suited to our environment here, and you have good compatibility with the trainer."
"Yes."
Speaking of compatibility, a question arose in Dober's mind.
"It seems like the trainer didn't give many instructions during training. It was you who was supervising me the whole time."
"Ah?"
"I mean... look, didn't you say you were relaying his words for him, that he would tell you if there were any problems? But during training, you were the one teaching me the whole time, and you didn't ask the trainer."
It felt as if Shirayuki were her trainer, and the man was just a figurehead.
"Oh, that..." A cold sweat broke out on Shirayuki's back. When she heard Dober had a problem, she had answered instinctively, without thinking of running over to put on a show. That would have been too inefficient.
After five seconds of silence, she finally found an excuse.
"Actually, the trainer told me everything in advance!" she said. "He told me what kind of trouble you would encounter during training and how to solve it. He informed me yesterday."
"Really? He already predicted the problems I would have?"
"That's right. Our trainer's professional ability is very strong. He had already anticipated the troubles you might encounter, so if you had a problem during training that he had already mentioned, I could answer you directly."
"That's really amazing..." Dober couldn't help but praise.
Foresight. How many trainers in Tracen could do that?
He really was capable.
Her evaluation of Chiya rose considerably.
"I'm going to do some self-training on the track tonight to digest what I learned."
"Alright. Then I'll head back first, Dober-senpai."
"Goodbye."
After Shirayuki left, Dober looked at the black-haired man in the distance.
If future training sessions were like this, she could accept it. It was Shirayuki teaching her all the time, and she barely spoke with the trainer.
But it wouldn't be good if this continued. If she never met with the trainer and had Shirayuki relay his words, it would be as if Shirayuki were her trainer.
That would be too rude to the actual trainer.
After some thought, she decided that once she got used to the team, she would start interacting with the trainer.
For now, she would do what she could.
She walked forward, stopping a short distance from him.
When he turned around, her eyes darted around nervously.
"Trainer Chiya..." she said softly. "Thank you for your hard work today."
After giving him a bow, she quickly ran off.
Huh? What did she just say?
Chiya cupped his ear.
The wind was strong; he hadn't heard clearly.
From the way she bowed, could it be that she was expressing her gratitude?
He stroked his chin.
Perhaps. It was too early to see a change in her. He would have to wait a few more days.
Unfortunately, his skills in education were still lacking. He could only use this step-by-step method.
Is there a more efficient way?
"Onii-sama! Thank you for your hard work today, Onii-sama!"
As he was lost in thought, Rice Shower ran up to him and said excitedly.
"Yes. You should go back and rest early, Rice Shower."
After saying goodbye to his Horse Girls, he turned and went to the east side flower bed.
He still had his punishment for getting drunk: cleaning up the two large flower beds at Tracen.
If he were alone, he probably wouldn't be finished even after dinner. So he just had to send out his clone, Shirayuki, to help. The two of them would be in charge of the east and west sides, respectively.
How many trainers in all of Tracen get punished with manual labor?
I'm probably the only one.
Oh well, rank has its privileges, especially when the order came from the Chairwoman herself.
Not only did she act like his mother, but she was also like a teacher, always punishing people.
Damn it, that snaggle-toothed loli! Just wait until I become a senior trainer, then you won't be able to touch me!
He grumbled as he pulled weeds.
"Excuse me... what are you doing?"
A gentle voice suddenly came from his side.
Turning his head, he saw a girl with a brown bob cut standing behind him, her beautiful purple eyes blinking at him.
"I'm pulling weeds," he said to the petite girl.
"Pulling weeds? That's amazing. But these aren't weeds."
"They're not?"
"No."
The girl smoothed her skirt and knelt beside him. "This is called Blue-eyed Grass. It's a type of flower. When it blooms, the petals are pink and very beautiful. But when it's not blooming, it's easily mistaken for a weed."
"And these are Bindweed, also a type of flower. They look like weeds when they're not blooming."
Noticing the flowers mixed in with the weeds he had pulled, the girl explained.
"I see..."
"Some flowers are mistaken for weeds before they bloom. But after they bloom, every flower strives to be the most vibrant one."
Noticing his gaze, the girl seemed to realize something. With a gentle smile, she said, "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Nishino Flower, a student in the middle school division."
"Hello, I'm Fujiwara Chiya."
"Fujiwara..."
"I'm Shirayuki's cousin. Thank you for taking care of my sister at school."
This girl named Nishino Flower was one of Shirayuki's classmates. In the first few days after her transfer, she had helped her a lot and was a very kind person.
"Why are you pulling weeds here, Trainer Chiya?"
"Because..."
I was punished by the Chairwoman.
Of course, he couldn't say that. Anyone could lose face, but he didn't want to.
"Because I am a lover of flowers."
That sounded right.
"Flowers enrich our lives, yet we do nothing for them. That's a bit too inhumane. Whether it's watering or fertilizing, I want to do what I can for these flowers."
"Trainer Chiya..." Hearing this, Nishino Flower's eyes widened, a hint of respect in her gaze. "You really are a good person. Both those who admire flowers and those who love them have very good character."
"You praise me too much. I'm just an ordinary person."
"If you don't mind, would you like me to help you? I also like gardening and usually take care of the flower beds."
"Really?! I'd be grateful."
An extra pair of hands was a great help.
Just as he was about to pull another weed, another cold voice came from behind.
"Fujiwara Shirayuki, what are you doing?"
