"Where is our trainer?"
A week later, the training camp has entered its second half. It's now early August, where there will only be 31 days left before they have to return to Tracen Academy. Usually, this stretch of time is when trainers and trainees are ultra-serious about training, unlike Team Minaz, who were always serious about training.
"He has business in Tokyo. He said that he's meeting an overseas friend."
"It's always rare to realize that he's actually an amazing man. If only he shut up."
Everyone there nods their heads at McQueen's comment. In all aspects, the young man is simply baffling. He has the skills to excel at everything he wants to do. He has the look that would allow him to attract all kinds of women as long as he puts in the effort. He is pretty witty with his quips and words that would allow him to entertain everyone around him and make him popular. All of that is ruined by the fact that he is a completeasshole.
"He asked me to take the helm while he is gone."
"Big sis Ramonu becomes a trainer?"
"Not necessarily. I am only here to make sure you are following the menu he made. I may have experience in running, but I simply couldn't match him in training others."
"I see…"
"Let's see his note… I have to kiss Urara's cheeks six times–three on each cheek. Haru Urara, come forward."
"Eeehh?!?! Trainer is always embarrassing Urara!!"
Even though she was protesting, the cute pink blob still walked forward toward the Queen regardless. The Queen scoops her tiny body up and gently kisses the pink blob's cheeks.
"You should be grateful, cutie. Many are willing to take your place, like McQueen."
"Big sis Ramonu!!"
"Getting affection from him is quite the enviable position to be in. Now for the next one… Goldship."
"Oh?"
"He has a challenge for you. Dig a hole at roughly your size with a depth of six feet, lie in it, and then try to close it without getting up."
"That asshole just wants to kill me!!"
"No. It's a challenge. He said he'll bring a blue rose to your funeral if you succeed."
"I'll jump him once he gets back!!"
"And the next one is Silence Suzuka."
"Eh?"
"He wonders, since you're so flat, if he can use your body like a surfboard. It might actually help you train on your aerodynamics."
"Guh!! So mean…"
"And for the little brat… I assume it's for Tokai Teio."
"HEY!! What gives?!?"
"Listen, Teio. You're an absolute dumbass. The bottom of the barrel when it comes to intelligence. You're an annoying brat who was created from the collection of the dumbest atoms in this universe. You have absolutely no hope in anything other than running, so don't slack off because there is no future for you other than using your legs."
"What the hell is wrong with him?!?! I'm suffocating him when he came back!!"
"And lastly, McQueen…"
"Oh no… Please be gentle…"
"That's it… He didn't write you anything."
"... I'm going to kill him. I'm going to abduct him and chain him up in my basement."
"I don't know which one is worse. Being left behind a message or being the only one who wasn't. Either way, it takes skill to be that massive of a dick."
"We hate him!!"
"Indeed, We all do. Now start with the warm. Tachyon, please make sure they're doing it safely. He said that he would send ten tons of coffee into the lab if one of the trainees got hurt."
"He really believes he is invincible, huh?"
"Well, none of you are capable of punishing him the way we do, so of course, he is braver to you compared to us."
"You say that, Air Groove, but he is not… exactly fearful of us…"
"You're right, Rudolph. He's still as much of an asshole."
"Prez, can you not do something about him? Can you not force him to be nicer with your authority?"
"That's not exactly something a student council president has authority over, Teio. I have authority over the student, but not the teachers, staff, and trainers. I, however, could put in some words to the council of trainers to punish ba–trainer Igo Heita, but his attitude isn't over the line, yet."
And like hell would I want to be separated from him.
"Then how about if we punish him together!! If all of us team up and punish him for his bad behavior, he surely will change for the better, no?"
"No, McQueen. We have all tried that. If it's that easy to change your trainer, you wouldn't be having two crowns right now."
"Ah… Damn it…"
"Sigh… He really is an anomaly, huh…"
XxX-XxX
"Welcome to Japan, my friends."
"[Leave us alone, conman.]"
"Uuh…"
"My apologies, her Japanese isn't up to the standard yet. A little bit more training and she'll be able to converse just fine. But you do look and act like a conman."
"No. No. I wasn't confused. I was simply [collecting my thoughts and forming an answer], and thank you for the comment. It means that I look good."
"...You are more of a monster than you let out on the forum, Divine Hater."
