The First Trainer to Think of This Method

After arranging the follow-up training in the Dance Hall, Anjing Zhen, Kitasan Black, and Vodka packed their things, left the hall, and prepared to head to the School Cafeteria for a meal.

Just as they stepped outside, a figure suddenly darted over from the side of the door.

"Hello, hello~ Is this Mr. Anjing? I have a package here that requires your signature, please sign for it!"

The figure was a Horse Girl with medium-long brown hair, a single ponytail tied on the left side of her head, and light brown freckles on her cheeks; her delicate face and green eyes were brimming with liveliness.

She held a large, one-meter-square package in her arms. As she handed it over, her gaze shifted, sweeping over Vodka and Kitasan Black.

"Eh? Vodka? Aren't you in Europe? And this child... the one who was always following behind Teio and McQueen? Kitasan... Kitasan what was it?"

"Hi! Nice to meet you, Senior Einis Fushin! My name is Kitasan Black, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After Kitasan Black straightened her posture to introduce herself, Vodka grew curious.

"Senior Fushin, why are you still delivering packages... Oh right, I haven't explained yet, I just returned to the country recently and plan to stay at the academy for a while."

"I see..."

Nodding in realization, the Horse Girl named Einis Fushin smiled: "Well, it's just out of habit, you know."

"I used to work part-time to earn my tuition and living expenses when I was at the academy. Even though I have some prize money now, I can't just sit around idle."

"Besides, both of my younger sisters have debuted. Although they didn't manage to get into the Central, their performance in the local circuit is quite good."

"Studying is very expensive, and what if they have a chance to transfer to the Central later? The costs will be even higher."

"So, as the big sister, I definitely have to consider things for them."

Hearing this, Anjing Zhen and the other two felt a mix of secret admiration and utter bewilderment.

Can you really call that "some" prize money? That was the championship prize money from the Japanese Derby...

Einis Fushin's full name was Einis Fushin, and like Vodka, she was a Japanese Derby champion.

Although she retired after that race, the championship prize money for that single event alone was 110 million.

Unlike the agreement Anjing Zhen had with Kitasan Black, where the prize money was split simply and directly fifty-fifty, the arrangements for other Horse Girls were much more complex.

Many trainers for Horse Girls came from specific teams or families; these organizations could provide richer training resources, but the split of the prize money would be a bit higher for them.

Einis Fushin was in such a situation, and her share ratio was significantly lower than Kitasan Black's.

However, with a total of over 100 million on the line, even with a lower share, the amount she eventually received was not a small sum.

Not to mention her own living expenses, even adding in the living costs and tuition for her two sisters, that money was more than enough.

Yet, in the few months since arriving in Tokyo, Anjing Zhen had unknowingly come into contact with quite a few top-tier Horse Girls.

Interestingly, they were all loaded with money—one could call them wealthy beauties—yet without exception, they disliked being idle.

Moreover, the work they engaged in was basically related to their hobbies, and at the same time, it was more or less connected to running.

For example, the Einis Fushin before them, as well as Oguri Cap and Aoba Recall, whom he had met previously.

Delivering packages, food delivery, and patrolling—these jobs all inevitably involved running.

Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka, and Agnes Tachyon were similar; their research directions were all related to Horse Girls, or rather, speed.

Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen were even more so.

As the President and Vice President of the Student Council, they dealt with their juniors every day, and occasionally one could see them guiding some students.

It seems that for them, running is truly an instinct and a pursuit that is hard to let go of.

While feeling a sense of emotion, Anjing Zhen took the package and the delivery slip from Einis Fushin, checked them, and signed his name.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fushin."

After nodding, he looked at Kitasan Black and Vodka.

"Since the things I ordered have arrived, I won't be joining you for dinner tonight. I need to go back and do some debugging; it would be best if I can use it for tomorrow's training."

"Ah? You can't have dinner with us, Trainer? That's such a pity..."

After expressing her regret, Kitasan Black grew curious.

"It sounds like what you ordered is... training equipment?"

"Equipment?"

Vodka also leaned in, "What kind of equipment?"

At the same time, she began to guess to herself.

She had heard from Daiwa Scarlet before that Anjing Zhen was different from most Japanese trainers.

Other trainers still relied more on experience, followed the guidance of seniors or peers, or simply trained according to textbooks.

Anjing Zhen was different.

In addition to traditional training, this trainer also liked to consult overseas literature and then combine it to formulate Kitasan Black's training plan.

This method was undoubtedly very novel, especially since Vodka was more familiar with traditional ways, so she was curious to know what new gadgets Anjing Zhen had come up with this time.

"A drone. For filming."

Without beating around the bush, Anjing Zhen patted the package and explained with a smile:

"I did some research before coming to Tokyo. This kind of tool is mainly used in agriculture right now, like using drones for watering, fertilizing, and so on.

"However, some people have tried mounting high-speed cameras onto drones for filming purposes.

"You all run at such high speeds that it's difficult to capture ideal training footage using conventional methods, and the standard approach is usually multi-camera setups during races.

"But I can't exactly request to set up that many cameras on the track.

"Theoretically speaking, drone filming can not only satisfy the need for multiple angles, but it can also follow the subject, which should yield even better results.

"I'll definitely need to spend some time testing it out, though, since no one has used this method for training yet.

"So, I'll head back now. If I'm lucky, you'll understand what it's all about by tomorrow."

With that, Anjing Zhen tucked the package under one arm, waved with his other hand, and walked toward the Academy gate.

Watching his retreating figure, a look of intense interest appeared in Vodka's eyes.

"A drone... interesting. I've heard a little about them in Europe, but I never expected Anjing-kun to think of using such a tool to assist with training."

"Vodka Senior, is this tool really that amazing?"

Kitasan Black asked curiously, "I've never heard of it at all before."

"Don't just speak for yourself; I've never heard of anyone thinking of this method either."

Vodka remarked with emotion, "That machine can indeed be equipped with a high-speed camera, and it flies faster than we run.

"So Anjing-kun is right—theoretically, using a drone to film training sessions could very well reveal details we've never noticed before.

"Even if the results are just on par with multi-camera setups, it would mean Little Kita has an even better training method from now on.

"Little Kita, Anjing-kun is truly impressive.

"If this method succeeds, he might just be the first Trainer in Japan to come up with this approach."

Nodding vigorously, Kitasan Black looked excited.

"Yeah! Trainer is just that amazing!"

At this moment, Einis Fushin, who had been looking curious the whole time, spoke up.

"Um, judging by what you're saying, that young man from just now... is Little Kita's Trainer?"
