Five days later, Lu Jue-jun returned to Teresen Academy.

The members of "Dream" had even set up the lounge and held a welcome party for Lu Jue-jun.

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, why is it so grand?" Lu Jue-jun said, but his heart was filled with joy.

"Trainer, for you, a salute." Nimble Beret fired a party popper.

"Trainer, welcome back~" After firing the party popper, Uralala reminded Special Week next to her, "Xiao Te, don't fire it backward this time."

"Got it!" Special Week didn't make a mistake this time. "Trainer, welcome back."

"Thank you, everyone."

"Who's on duty today? Remember to sweep up what's on the floor."

Tokai Teio's smile instantly froze. "It's me! Xiao Te, Uralala, Xiao Bei, you're not allowed to run off immediately after training!"

That's how it was when Lu Jue-jun was around; with just a few words, the team's atmosphere became lively.

"Oh... Trainer." Rice Shower tugged on Lu Jue-jun's sleeve, then took out a small wooden box. "This is Rice Shower's gift for you, dried flowers made by Rice Shower herself, a return gift for Trainer."

"Rice Shower is so good." Lu Jue-jun first patted Rice Shower's head, then accepted the gift. "It's my first time receiving a return gift. Thank you."

"Mm!" Rice Shower bowed her head and smiled, seemingly enjoying Lu Jue-jun's touch and praise.

First time?!

Upon hearing the keyword, Silent Suzuka and Seiun Sky's minds immediately became active.

They had guarded against everything, but they didn't expect Rice Shower to find a loophole.

Speaking of which, they still didn't know when Lu Jue-jun's birthday was. They would have to ask him privately and prepare a good gift then.

"Alright, come over and let's talk about something serious." Lu Jue-jun sat down, and the Uma Musume also gathered around him.

"The training camp I mentioned to you before will start in three days, and this time it's with 'Rigil' and 'Spica'."

"Together!?" Tokai Teio exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean I can train with the President!"

"I'm not sure about that, it depends on whether Symboli Rudolf will come." Lu Jue-jun said.

"I don't know if the President will come, but Tree will definitely come~"

Silent Suzuka nodded, "Daiwa Scarlet will be there too."

This point couldn't be avoided; the two kept bringing it up, and Lu Jue-jun felt like his head was splitting.

"Ahem, let's skip this unpleasant topic and continue with the serious stuff."

"This training camp will last half a month, and the location is in the mountains. It might be quite cold at night, so everyone needs to bring some warm clothes and several sets of sportswear. As for daily necessities, they're all prepared there."

"Besides that, I've also prepared many surprises for everyone. I hope you all complete your training well as a reward for me."

Lu Jue-jun thought about it, and it seemed he had explained everything that needed to be explained, so he asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes! Uralala has a question!"

"What kind of surprises are they? Can we eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by Trainer every day up there?"

"I said they were surprises, telling you now would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?" Speaking of which, Lu Jue-jun remembered something and said mysteriously, "Oh, and if you don't complete your training tasks, there will be punishments."

Recently, he had concocted a nutritious vegetable juice; besides being unpalatable, it had only advantages.

Lu Jue-jun affectionately named it "ketsujiru".

When it came to punishment, Nimble Beret became excited. It was finally her time to shine. "Punishment? What kind of punishment? Is it severe?"

"Xiao Bei..." Lu Jue-jun looked at her helplessly. "Believe me, you won't like this punishment."

"Really?" Nimble Beret clearly didn't quite believe Lu Jue-jun.

"More words are useless; you'll know when the time comes."

After Lu Jue-jun finished speaking, Tokai Teio looked at Nimble Beret strangely. "Xiao Bei, why are you still looking forward to punishment?"

"Ah, ah... this... I was just asking, just asking, I'm not that excited."

The consequence of speaking without thinking was that more and more people's gazes gathered on Nimble Beret.

Silent Suzuka was an exception; her gaze sharply shot towards Lu Jue-jun.

Lu Jue-jun expressed his innocence; it was all Nimble Beret's fault for making a mistake! It had nothing to do with him!

"Alright, alright, let's start today's training. Let me examine your results and see who's been lazy."

...

Three days later, a large bus stopped at the school gate.

Members of each team also arrived with their luggage within the stipulated time.

Four members of "Spica": Gold Ship, Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka, King Halo.

Ten members of "Rigil": El Condor Pasa, Grass Wonder, Taiki Shuttle, Agnes Digital, Rhombus Amazon, Air Groove, Symboli Rudolf, Narita Brian, Fuji Kiseki, Maruzensky.

Adding the seven members of "Dream" and the three Trainers, a total of 24 people, they set off majestically towards the camp location.

The journey was still quite long, but the scenery along the way amazed the Uma Musume.

The coastline along the way wound forward, extending all the way to the unknown distance.

Waves crashed against the golden sand, and people rolled up their pant legs, happily stepping on the cool water beneath their feet, letting the seawater wash away the day's worries.

Above the sea, slowly rotating windmills stood like guards in the water, watching over a peaceful expanse.

Through the glass window, Lu Jue-jun seemed to be able to feel the sea breeze.

It was a pity that it wasn't summer, but this climate wasn't a big problem for the Uma Musume; it wasn't hot, but it wasn't too cold either.

The conversations on the bus were very noisy; everyone was discussing the beautiful scenery, and some had even started planning where to play later.

Uralala and Rice Shower sat together, pointing at the scenery outside the window, talking endlessly.

Tokai Teio and Symboli Rudolf sat together; the former's mouth didn't stop, while the latter closed her eyes, occasionally nodding.

Perhaps they were discussing team matters, as Symboli Rudolf's eyes would occasionally open and look in Lu Jue-jun's direction.

Silent Suzuka, on the other hand, was with Seiun Sky.

This combination, both mentor and friend, and also rivals and sisters, surprisingly had a lot to talk about.

"Silence Suzuka, the scenery here is so beautiful, it's comparable to the fireworks display Trainer and I went to see that day."

"Is that so... It's really quite good." Silent Suzuka bit her lip lightly. "It's a pity I haven't gone out with Lu Jue-jun. He only said that I, when running, am the most beautiful scenery on the track."

So Lu Jue-jun and Seiun Sky went out that day! He even dared to lie to me when he called!

Silent Suzuka had to find a time to punish Lu Jue-jun properly, during the training camp! She couldn't delay it for anything!

She wanted to firmly grab Lu Jue-jun's wrist like that day... She might as well lock him up!

"Is that so..." Seiun Sky smiled without warmth, but secretly thought, "Trainer has never praised me like that!"

...

Soon, Lu Jue-jun received a message from Silent Suzuka, "Lu Jue-jun, next time I want to go to the beach with you, just you and me."

Lu Jue-jun had no reason to disagree, "Sure."
