...Ah, on second thought, he could understand why this trainer's ID was [DailyMuscleCheckIn_Day0]. A delicate trainer like her was probably pestered by Ryan every day to do muscle training, but she must have found a way to bluff her way through it each time.
Mejiro Ryan's trainer, named Fujiwara Reiko, was seven years older than him. When she first started, she too was praised as a "once-in-a-century genius female trainer," adding some vitality to the already scarce female trainer population at Tracen.
Before Ryuichi's arrival, Reiko had already trained several Uma Musume to graduation. Mejiro Ryan was the first girl from a major family she had taken on. However, recently, she seemed to be facing the same troubles as many other trainers at the academy.
"Ryan has been getting so clingy lately. She wants to drag me to work out every day. I'm a trainer who couldn't even run 1000 meters as a kid. How can I compare my stamina to a Uma Musume's?"
After a few drinks, Reiko had clearly loosened up and started to vent her frustrations to Ryuichi.
"And Ryan's been acting so strange lately... Every time we go to the gym, she asks me to come along, saying she wants me to time her and see the effects of her training."
"But... I always feel like she's intentionally or unintentionally showing off her abs to me, and her biceps and all that... She even deliberately ties her shirt into a knot when she's all sweaty, showing off her V-lines for me to see."
"It's so weird... Does Ryan want me to praise her abs? What do you think, Kitano-kun?"
A few drinks in, Ryuichi felt a bit helpless listening to her complaints. On one hand, he felt this senior probably didn't call him here just to vent. On the other hand, the situation she was facing... seemed a bit dangerous.
Although he had never been confessed to by his own charge in all his loops, let alone been subjected to an uma pyoi, he was well-versed in the dark underbelly of Tracen's "uma pyoi" incidents.
Yes, there was no rule that a Uma Musume's sexual orientation had to be towards the opposite sex. While most did prefer male trainers, that didn't mean female trainers were free from this threat.
On the contrary, the situations female trainers faced were even more extreme. The worst-case scenario for a male trainer targeted by his charge was a forced uma pyoi and a shattered pelvis. But there was a strange commonality among the charges of male trainers: if there were multiple girls, they knew how to "share reasonably," a sustainable method of "draining the pond."
To put it bluntly, the Uma Musume of male trainers knew how to share and not let others starve. But it was a different story for the charges of female trainers...
Possessiveness. So far, every female trainer targeted by her charge had experienced the full weight of this word. When facing a female trainer, the Uma Musume's attitudes were completely different.
Girls who usually acted harmonious would be ruthless towards each other when competing for the sole position with their female trainer. Today I'll crush you on the track, tomorrow I'll block your position, all to prove that they are the best choice.
Some even went to great lengths to "bend" their trainer's orientation, using methods that could be described as hypnotic suggestion... which always sent a chill down Ryuichi's spine whenever he heard about it, while also making him grateful that he was a man, and that no Uma Musume had ever liked him.
And now, facing his senior who seemed to be deep in the abyss, Ryuichi felt he should warn her out of humanitarian concern... otherwise, the next time he saw her, it would probably be in the hospital or the Mejiro family's basement.
"Um, I think it's best if you act less interested in Ryan's training, senpai. Reject her a few more times, maybe she'll get the hint that you're not interested in her abs."
"Huh? But wouldn't that be bad..." Reiko hesitated.
"Trust me, senpai. This is for your own safety." Ryuichi's mouth twitched. He then casually asked, "How about finding a new assigned Uma Musume? That way, you'll have a legitimate reason to take care of a new girl."
"Right, that's a good idea." Reiko nodded, her mood instantly clearing up as if she'd had an epiphany. "I've actually had my eye on a girl recently. She seems very nice, quiet and hardworking. A good fit for me."
"Congratulations. By the way, what's her name?"
"Ah? I think it's—Grass Wonder? She's a middle schooler."
"..."
Ryuichi looked at Reiko's beaming smile, opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to say anything. He could only mourn for her in his heart, hoping his senior would be okay.
"But, senpai, you didn't call me here just to vent, did you? What did you want to see me about?" Ryuichi decided to ask quickly, lest she not have a chance to tell him in person next time.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Reiko, oblivious to his thoughts, remembered the matter and said to him mysteriously:
"This matter, Ryan was the one who first told me about it. I was with her, and she saw the message you posted..."
"—You were with Ryan? And she saw it? Were you in her lap?"
"No, no, she just said her thighs were comfortable and asked me to sit on them to feel—wait, don't interrupt!"
Reiko's face flushed slightly. "You said you wanted a girl who wasn't that outstanding, right? Ryan said she has a good candidate she can introduce to you."
"She's also a Uma Musume from the Mejiro family. How about considering her? Ryan said she believes this girl has a lot of potential to become a GI Uma Musume."
