Although there were some small interludes during the period, the first day of care was completed very smoothly.
As for what had happened before, although he still remembered, he did not dwell on it too much.
Because it was obvious that this was simply an accident caused by her experiment going wrong. It's just that the victim in the past had been others, and this time it was herself.
As for the "like" she had mentioned before, that was just a fake existence born under the side effects of the potion. He wasn't stupid enough to take that seriously.
And forget about caring, after she had returned to normal, he had even finished the rest of the nursing care for her while scolding her, and then had left with Eclipse.
And, because this was something she had brought on herself, so even if she had any struggles or complaints on her side, it was all her own fault and couldn't be blamed on him.
And, although she had shown shy emotions such as blushing afterwards, he felt that with her rational way of thinking and the thick skin of a mad scientist, she probably wouldn't care too much about such superficial things, and might even just pretend that nothing had happened tomorrow. After all, she usually acted as if she wouldn't care about such things. In fact, after a while, when she returned to normal, she might even use this to tease him, or threaten him to test potions or something.
That's what he thought.
But, was that really the case?
She didn't know.
Because she had now even lost the spare energy to think.
After the effect of the potion had completely faded, and her thoughts and consciousness had completely returned to normal, the scenes that had just happened began to echo in her mind.
Confession, acting spoiled, hugging, and even that final kiss...
What had she done?
Her blank mind could no longer think. She was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
But the problem is, no matter how much she wanted to pretend that everything that had just happened was an illusion, the lingering scent on her body, the warmth from her ankle, and the taste of him that remained on her lips were constantly reminding her of the undeniable reality.
In this state, forget about thinking, even when he was finishing the rest of the nursing care, she didn't react much. Because compared to the stimulation in her heart, the feelings from her leg could be said to be insignificant.
—Of course, the main reason was that his technique after the fact had returned to the level of the Maiden race, and had even been weakened. After all, after what had just happened, he was worried that there might be some potion residue, and was also worried about her tolerance, so he didn't dare to go too far.
And after the nursing care was over, although a voice in her heart was constantly saying, "Get on with it," "Don't be useless when you're given a chance," "I could really find a guinea pig more useful than you," she still didn't make a single move, just silently curled into a ball and then covered her head with a pillow.
And then, the night passed without a word.
It's just that in the darkness, the sound of a tongue constantly sliding over lips was heard.
So this is, Mr. Guinea Pig's taste...
...
When they met again the next day, she had returned to the state of not wanting to talk to him after the Maiden race.
He wasn't surprised, just a little helpless.
Damn it, you're the one who caused this, and I, the victim, haven't said anything yet, but you're the one who's unhappy first.
The others in the team of course also noticed the strangeness between the two and cast curious gazes.
Especially Teio, who had some guesses about the previous Maiden race incident. She directly came to find him during a break in training and "unintentionally" brought up Tachyon's performance, asking him if he knew anything.
"Ah, that."
He was calm and said frankly, "She wanted to play a trick on me last night with a newly researched potion, but as a result, she didn't test the side effects properly beforehand, messed up, and caused a lab accident, and then she became like this."
A lab accident.
Hearing this answer, the others in the team no longer dwelled on it. After all, it wasn't the first or second time Tachyon had had an accident with her experiments. At most, she could have three or four a month, and at least, she could have one every two months. Everyone was used to it.
It's just that most of the time it was others, especially trainers, who suffered. A situation where she herself overturned, although rare, was not unheard of, so everyone quickly accepted this explanation.
As for what kind of accident it was, looking at her performance, everyone could also guess that it was probably a situation that wasn't very good to talk about with others, so they tacitly did not press further.
And so this matter was superficially passed over.
But while the matter on her side was superficially passed over, the matter on his side was just beginning.
Kudo Kazuya...
Muttering this name in his heart, his expression was a little conflicted.
He was wondering how he was going to investigate this person next.
Do it himself? Not really.
He wasn't a professional, and the matter of him being commissioned by the Chairwoman to investigate related matters had also spread among the trainers. Both his ability and his identity were not suitable.
The Chairwoman and the Green Hat? Also not suitable.
Putting other things aside, Kudo had been at the main campus for nearly twenty years. In terms of seniority, he was even above the two of them. In fact, when the two of them had just taken office, they had received help from the other party, and their relationship was quite deep.
And he was just a new trainer who had just been hired. Before there was evidence, it would probably be difficult to even convince them to believe this matter, and it would also be easy for Kudo's side to notice. After all, they had been dealing with each other for more than a year or two. If the Chairwoman and Tazuna's side had suspicions about him, and even launched an investigation, then it would be easy for him to discover the abnormality, and then the situation might become difficult.
And most importantly, after so many years of dealing with him, the Chairwoman and Tazuna's side had no suspicion of him at all, which was enough to show that they had not grasped any key information, and that Kudo might have been on guard against them all along.
And since the Chairwoman and the Green Hat wouldn't work, then the other trainers wouldn't work either.
So he was in a dilemma, and even began to consider whether to find a reliable person outside the academy to help.
Just as he was struggling with this, a voice sounded.
"What's wrong, Trainer Kitahara? Did you run into some trouble?"
This voice sounded a little familiar, but not that familiar. It didn't sound malicious, so he subconsciously answered.
"Ah, I am indeed thinking about some things, but..."
Halfway through his sentence, he was stunned.
Wait a minute, this voice...
He turned his head, and then saw a familiar face that almost made his heart stop.
The student council president, Symboli Rudolf.
She was standing next to him, looking at the training Teio in the distance, a gentle smile on her lips.
Then, after discovering that he had looked at her, she also turned to look at him, and then spoke.
"If you don't mind, perhaps you can tell me what you're troubled about. I might be able to help."
"And it just so happens that I also have some things I want to discuss with you, Trainer Kitahara. If you have time, how about we find a place to chat?"
...
A moment later, in the student council room.
He and Rudolf sat opposite each other.
To be honest, if he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to have anything to do with her, not even a little bit. His first reaction when he heard her question was to refuse.
But the problem is, in the next second, he suddenly realized that she was the most suitable person in the entire Tracen Academy to investigate Kudo.
Because although Kudo had deep connections and foundations, they were mainly on the Chairwoman's and the trainers' side.
As for the horse girls, although he had trained many over the years, after all, a person's energy is limited, but a horse girl's possessiveness is infinite. Plus, the charges will also graduate. His fame among the students was not high, and his influence was also very limited. He had no connection with Rudolf, and they had no friendship to speak of.
So, although he was not very willing in his heart, in the end, he still agreed to her invitation and was then taken by her to the student council room.
It's just that unlike last time, this time she did not have that aggressive attitude. Her attitude could even be said to be gentle, and they were not the only two in the student council room. There were also two other horse girls.
One was his old acquaintance, Narita Brian, with a bandage on her nose, who was currently buried in a pile of documents, a look of despair on her face.
And the other was a horse girl with short black hair and blue eyes, who looked a bit majestic. She was currently at her own desk, processing the pile of documents beside her at an astonishing speed.
Air Groove was her name.
Like Brian, she was also the vice president of the student council, and together with Brian, they were known as Rudolf's right and left hands.
Among them, Brian, because she was better at fighting, was generally responsible for maintaining order and handling external emergencies, while Groove spent most of her time by Rudolf's side, assisting with document processing and campus management work.
He was not familiar with Groove, so he just gave a simple greeting.
On the contrary, Brian on the side, seeing him come, her head immediately lifted, her eyes shining. "Something happened again?"
As a martial arts enthusiast, she would rather go out and fight with people than drown in the pile of documents in front of her.
"No. And even if there is, Miss Tazuna is also on duty. It's not your turn to go out."
Rudolf shattered her hope of going out with one sentence, and then turned to look at him.
"Trainer Kitahara, tell me your problem."
He did not answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, he swept his gaze over Groove and Brian.
Rudolf immediately understood what he meant.
"Your problem, is it related to 'that'?"
He nodded.
She narrowed her eyes, and then turned to look at Brian. "Brian, you go outside and take a look. We're going to talk about something that's not very suitable for students to hear next."
Although she was very curious what "something that's not very suitable for students to hear" was, Brian still got up very readily and left the student council room, standing guard outside.
And on the other side, the short black-haired horse girl also stopped the pen in her hand and looked over.
"Air Groove is my deputy. If you have any trouble and want to find me, and I'm not here, you can find her first. As long as it's not a big trouble, she can generally handle it for you."
"As for Brian, although she's not very good at handling normal affairs, if you encounter any emergencies, or need military support, you can also consider finding her. Both of them are trustworthy, no need to worry."
Rudolf explained a little, and then signaled that it was very safe here, and that they could discuss the matter of "those" now.
He did not hesitate either. After she signaled, he lowered his voice and spoke.
"I want to investigate a person. The Chairwoman's side might not be convenient."
"Who?"
"Kudo Kazuya."
As soon as this name was spoken, the student council room fell silent.
Although Rudolf and Groove had no connection with him, after all, he had been at Tracen for nearly twenty years. Of course, they had also heard of his name and deeds.
"The reason?"
Groove on the side frowned.
As Rudolf's right and left hand, with a status basically equivalent to that of Tazuna beside the Chairwoman, she of course also knew the truth about the Black Forest incident, so she was even more puzzled.
"As far as I know, Tracen's review and control of trainers are very strict, and..."
Halfway through her words, Rudolf raised her hand, interrupting her. She looked at him, her eyes serious.
"Tell me, what information do you need?"
Huh? So readily?
He had not expected her to agree so readily. After all, in his memory, her impression of him should not be very good.
But since this matter was quite serious, and according to outside rumors, Rudolf rarely let her personal feelings get in the way when she was doing business, so he didn't think much of it and spoke directly.
"The primary thing is his whereabouts, especially the date and destination of his departure from the academy. And not just for a day or two, but for the past few years."
"The second is his interpersonal relationships, and not just within the school, but more importantly, outside the school, to see if he has had contact with any strange people."
"The third is the flow of his funds. I know he often donates anonymously, so it might be a bit difficult to check, so I'm not forcing this. It would be best if you can find it, but it's okay if you can't."
He paused, then added, "However, these are the needs I can think of at the moment. As for the rest of the information, I can't guarantee that I won't need it later, so if possible, I hope you can collect as much as possible, and the more complete and detailed the better."
After hearing his words, she did not agree immediately. After a moment of silence, she spoke slowly.
"Okay. But I can't guarantee that I can find all the information you need. I can only say I'll do my best."
His whereabouts were fine, and his interpersonal relationships could also be learned from the students. But the flow of his funds, if she wanted to check that, she would probably have to use some of the Symboli family's resources.
But as mentioned before, because of her bad relationship with Speed Symboli, her contact with the Symboli family had not been very close for several years, and had only recently improved. But even so, her relationship with Speed Symboli had not shown any signs of improvement, and they still disliked each other.
Especially a few days ago, because of a series of things including ordering racing silks for Teio, she had used a series of the Symboli family's resources, which had made that old woman unhappy and had made things difficult for her for a long time. In the end, she had been forced to agree to a blind date to barely get her to stop, and had also said that she could not use the Symboli family's resources again until the agreement was completed, so there might be some problems with checking the flow of his funds.
However, even so, she still planned to go and try to communicate. After all, it was related to horse girl hunting. That old woman would definitely be able to distinguish the importance. She would most likely agree, but it would most likely be accompanied by some difficulties or restrictions. She would need to judge based on the conditions at that time.
And faced with her answer, he was also very content.
After all, although the two of them had had a few dealings before, and had often met at the training field because of Teio, their communication was really not much. They were not familiar, and their relationship was certainly not good.
In fact, before he came, he had even been prepared to be suspected. After all, compared to him, a newcomer who had just been hired not long ago, a legendary trainer of nearly twenty years like Kudo was definitely more trustworthy. Even if he wasn't suspected, it would at least take some effort to explain. He just hadn't expected her to agree so readily, which made him a little surprised.
And then, after talking about his side of things, her side also brought up her purpose for finding him.
As he had expected, it was still for Teio.
But unlike last time, this time she did not show that aggressive attitude again, and even apologized to him in return.
"At that time, that child Teio had just had a fight with me because of those things, and then she turned around and found you, so at that time, I was a little out of control, which made you see something embarrassing..."
"I understand, I understand."
He didn't care much about that previous incident, let alone been angry with her.
To give a simple example, her side was like a parent who had spent money to get their child a spot in a key high school, and there were also special famous teachers to teach. But as a result, in a turn of events, their own baby insisted on learning from themselves, said she wanted to get into a top university by self-study, and then turned around and enrolled in a shady school.
Forget her, if it were him, he would also be numb, and it wouldn't even be impossible for him to want to tear down that school.
But now...
"Trainer Kitahara, I have a question. I hope you can answer me truthfully."
She looked at him and said seriously, "That child, Teio, is actually just your charge in name. You've never guided her, have you?"
Silence.
Then a sigh.
"If I said no, would you believe me?"
