Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 1 Then She Belongs to Me
Gifu Prefecture, Hashima County, Kasamatsu Tresen Academy, trainer's office.

Pushing open the door of the office with mottled paint, Kitahara Ryo saw three people gathered in front of an office desk.

There was a list of names on the desk. The three people on the list were a young man in a suit, a middle-aged man with a short flat head, and a young woman with a few freckles on her nose.

They were obviously arguing about something, and the focus was obviously on the stack of lists.

“Let me make it clear first, I’ve already taken a liking to this horse racing girl. She’s my first target, so don’t compete with me for her!” This was a middle-aged man, his squinty eyes revealed a look of unquestionable responsibility.

"Huh?! You're like that too?!" The freckled woman reacted fiercely:
"How could I possibly give her to you! I've been eyeing her since before she entered school!" Veins bulged on her head and she waved her fists as if she was fighting.

In comparison, the attitude of the man in the suit was not that intense, but when he opened his mouth, his tone was full of unquestionable intent.

"I think everyone has the same idea."

"This horse girl, Fujimasa March, is the only special student of the academy this year. Whether it is speed, endurance, strength or competition experience, she can be said to be the best in recent years..."

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be so persistent." The uncle interrupted the man in the suit impatiently:

"So, this time I must... Hey? Beiyuan, why are you here?" He suddenly saw Beiyuan at the office door and changed the topic.

Not only did the topic change, the uncle's tense attitude also changed, becoming casual and cheerful.

"Hahaha, that's rare, Kitahara." He laughed.
"It's vacation time now. Why are you, a lazy guy, coming to the academy? Do you want to quit your job as a trainer? Hahaha!"

After his reminder, the other two finally saw Beiyuan standing at the door and greeted him.

"Good afternoon, Kitahara."

"How was your vacation, Kitahara?"

Like Kitahara, these three are trainers at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy and are colleagues.

However, at the moment, only Beiyuan knows that he is no longer the "Beiyuan" that everyone is familiar with.

His inner self or soul is now a traveler from another world.

And this world is a parallel world of a series of games and animations that he had come into contact with before crossing over.

The world of Umamusume.

Being familiar with the background of games and animations, he quickly accepted the fact of time travel.

In the world of “Uma Musume” there is no such creature as “horse”. Instead there is a strange species called “Uma Musume” and there are three gods called “Goddesses” who favor this species.

"Uma Musume" is only female, with a body structure similar to that of human females and the physical qualities of "racehorses" from another world.

When sprinting at full speed, they can run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. It is not unbelievable to see horse racing girls running faster than cars on the street.

And just like racehorses from another world, they all have simple personalities, an instinctive obsession with running, and a strong desire to win.

For this reason, there is a specialized academy for horse girls in this world, which is the "Trexan Academy" where Kitahara and others work.

Trainers like Kitahara are "professionals" who educate and guide horse girls after undergoing various professional training and assessments.

With the advantage of foresight, Kitahara not only understood and adapted to this world, but also knew what his colleagues were arguing about.

The trainer's work is also linked to the performance of the horse girls. The more outstanding the horse girls are in training, the better the trainer's treatment will be.

The target of the colleagues' quarrel was the "Fujimasa March" mentioned by the man in the suit. Her strength and talent were just as he said, and she was the "most outstanding horse girl" in the academy in recent years.

But Kitahara came to the academy on purpose during the holidays, not because he wanted to compete with his colleagues for the Fujimasa March.

Because he knew that Fujimasa March was only "one of the best horse girls" in the academy in recent years, and there was another horse girl who was equally outstanding.

Even better. "Yan Jun, the junior, didn't resign, so how can I, the senior, just quit?"

Kitahara knew that, as the uncle had joked, the original owner had a very casual personality and style, and could be said to have no ambitions. He had never taken his work seriously, so he also responded with a joke:

"I had a great holiday this year. I can even say it was the best holiday I've ever had. Thank you for your concern."

He responded to his colleagues' jokes and greetings with a smile, and without saying anything else, he walked straight to the desk they had been sitting around, picked up the list on it, and began to look through it.

Seeing this, colleagues all showed vigilant expressions.

"I see, Beiyuan, you're here to snatch people too! But you're late. We've already assigned the new students. You have to follow the first come first served principle and you can't snatch people from us!" The uncle was the first to speak out a "warning".

"I didn't expect that Kitahara-kun, who usually looks unmotivated, would be so active this semester. It seems that you also have your eyes on Fujimasa's March, but..."

The man in the suit was speaking carefully when he was interrupted by the lady with freckles.

"Hey! Kitahara-kun, although you can be considered a senior in our academy, you can't rely on your status as a senior to snatch people away!" She was also worried that Kitahara was going to "steal people away."

Bei originally didn't want to explain anything, but seeing that his colleagues were a little too nervous, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"I say, can you guys stop being so nervous?"

Ignoring the gazes of the three people around him, he put the lists he had read back on the desk one by one, searching for the name in his mind, "Indeed, I have the same idea as you, wanting to choose a horse girl for my team in advance, but what I choose may not be the same as yours."

"That being said, Fujimasa March is obviously outstanding. Who knew that you..." The uncle spoke first again, but he was stunned when he was halfway through his sentence.

He saw Kitahara casually put a list back on the desk, and when he saw the names on it, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey, hey! Wait a minute, Kitahara, isn't the target you're targeting the 'Fujimasa March'?"

The man in the suit and the woman with freckles were also surprised. They also saw the list that Kitahara put back and the names on that list.

That was the "Fujimasa March".

However, Kitahara looked at the list and put it aside. Everyone could see that he didn't like this "famous" horse racing girl.

"Hey, Kitahara, what's wrong with you? Are you just here to hang out at the academy today?"

"You are a senior, but what kind of vision do you have? You don't even like such an excellent horse girl like Fujimasa March?"

Surprisingly, the colleagues who were originally afraid that Kitahara would snatch people away now became a little dissatisfied when they saw that he didn't seem to care about the horse girl they had their eyes on.

At this time, Kitahara had already found the name in his mind from the list.

"No, it's not a question of looking down on me."

With a satisfied smile, he stared at the list in his hand and responded softly to his colleagues' doubts, "Fujimasa March is an excellent horse girl. No matter what happens in the future, her name will surely resound throughout Kasamatsu."

"only……"

Smiling, he picked up the list and waved it at his three colleagues, "I have a big appetite, and Kasamatsu alone can't satisfy me."

"I don't just want Kasamatsu, I want the whole world."

"Since you all don't value this one, then she belongs to me."

On the list that Kitahara was waving, there was a row of names written in pencil, light gray and inconspicuous.

"Little chestnut hat".
