Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 105: Pioneers of the Expedition

After translating the long list of names just mentioned, Maruzenski chuckled and said, "It can be shortened to UAA, Uma Musume Annual Awards Ceremony. Here is the invitation."

Beiyuan had already seen the contents of the invitation and the general description of the party.

UAA is held annually in Tokyo on New Year's Eve to honor the most outstanding horse girls, trainers and other practitioners of the year. Some important initiatives of the URA association will also be discussed and negotiated around that day.

For example, awards such as the Uma Girl of the Year, the Best Overseas Expedition Uma Girl, the Best Newcomer Uma Girl, and the most glorious "Hall of Fame" award for Uma Girls will all be announced at UAA.

The same is true for trainers.

Kitahara had attended this party before and was familiar with all of this, but he was surprised that he actually received this invitation.

"so……"

Pointing to the invitation with his name on it, Kitahara was a little uncertain, "President Maruzen means that I have to attend this party on January 1st?"

Kitahara originally thought that he had to attend such an invitation. This could be said to be the most important event in the Uma Musume industry every year. If he did not attend after receiving the invitation, he might face punishment from the URA Association.

Unexpectedly, Maruzenski shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands casually.

"If Mr. Trainer doesn't want to go, that's fine."

She smiled playfully, "Anyway, one guy has already decided not to go this year."

"By the way, if it's okay, Trainer-san, just call me Maruzen. It's okay to call me by my full name. I don't really like titles like president."

Unexpectedly, Maruzenski was so friendly. Kitahara thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, Maruzen, you can just call me Kitahara." It's not like he hasn't seen important people before, but he is not as in awe of Maruzenski as Principal Kasamatsu and the others.

Then he asked curiously, "You said someone is definitely not going. Can you tell me who it is?"

He was just out of pure curiosity.

Glancing at him inconspicuously, Maruzenski seemed to curl the corners of his mouth.

"Have you heard of the Sirius symbol?"

"Hmm, 2..."

Subconsciously, he wanted to mention the horse girl's record of 26 wins in 4 games, but Kitahara reacted instantly and realized that the Sirius symbol was probably still in active service and had not participated in so many competitions.

He coughed dryly, pondered for a moment, and changed his words:
"Uh... seems to be the one who has been on an overseas expedition this year?"

A playful look flashed across Maruzenski's eyes, and she nodded slightly.

"10 overseas races, 1rd in the G3 Oaks, 3nd in the G2 Foy, 4th in the Baden Stakes, and the Arc de Triomphe also participated, although only 14 moves, but... it is the Arc de Triomphe after all."

It’s quite remarkable… no, it should be said that it’s a very strong record.

Kitahara nodded secretly.

In this series of competitions, the Sirius symbol did not have a No. 1, but the current Japanese horse racing girls are simply not on the same level as the international level.

往远的说，之前出征过海外的速度象征、竹芝王两名赛马娘，这两名赛马娘在日本绝对算是顶尖中的顶尖，分别有42战17胜5亚和29战16胜10亚的傲人成绩。

However, despite being so strong, they only won 4 and 2 battles, and did not win first place. Of course, there are differences in schedules, training, venues, etc. between Japan and Europe and the United States, as well as the jet lag, food incompatibility and other reasons for the horse girls not being able to adapt to the local climate.

But at present, the "Japan Cup" is basically dominated by foreign horse girls. Environmental differences and acclimatization cannot be considered as reasons at all.

From this perspective, the fact that Sirius Symbol was able to fight in 10 games in a row and even got into the top 5 makes it no problem to say that she is one of the strongest horse girls in Japan right now.

And in a sense, although the two predecessors, Speed ​​Symbol and Takeshiba King, also had expeditions, they did not participate in too many competitions. These 10 races of Sirius Symbol are extremely important experience for Japanese horse girls. It is no exaggeration to say that they are "pioneers of expeditions."

It seems that she should be the winner of the "Best Overseas Expedition Horse Girl" award, but...

After hesitating for a moment, Kitahara subconsciously asked, "So, the Sirius symbol feels embarrassed to accept the award because he didn't win first place?"

Maruzenski did not answer immediately, but looked Kitahara up and down with a half-smile on his face.

She did not come to Kasamatsu for sightseeing with the inspection group. The reason why she seemed uninterested in the previous negotiation process was because she had her own tasks to accomplish.

The people involved in the URA Association, the board of directors of Central Trasen Academy, and her friend and colleague Luduo Symbol, all wanted her to take a closer look at Kitahara, who had already entered the eyes of the industry's top brass as a "rising star in training."

He is totally unlike someone his age. Normally, a trainer of this age...

No, no matter if they are trainers or not, as long as they hear the name of Central Tresen, or me, Luduo, Qianming and the others, they will be more or less in awe...

His principal was like that, and so were the people on the inspection team.

But he didn't have any special feelings for me, it was like... he had known me for a long time.

Hehe, interesting...

He chuckled secretly, and just before Kitahara started to feel a little scared by being stared at, Maruzenski spoke casually.

"Ah... I'm not just embarrassed about not getting first place overseas."

She twirled her smooth chestnut hair with a slender white finger and chuckled, "She returned to China in the middle of this year, but she placed 2th in the first G8 tournament after returning, and only 9th in the Emperor's Autumn Appreciation Tournament. She must be embarrassed because of this... No."

She suddenly smiled and shook her head. "She must have lost her temper, and was angry with herself. So, she was upset and didn't want to go to receive the award."

Uh... I'm in a bad mood and don't want to accept the award...

This is in line with the character of Sirius. She has a bad temper...

With a bitter smile, Beiyuan thought for a moment and said casually:

"No wonder. If I remember correctly, the Sirius symbol has been out for a long time, and the 'original style' is almost over."

"If she hadn't competed overseas, she wouldn't have achieved the results she has now. The fact that she was able to come in second or third against the European and American horse girls is enough to prove her strength."

"I think if she had stayed in China, the competitions she participated in would have been basically as unpredictable as yours."

“And his poor performance after returning home is probably because he hasn’t adapted to coming back yet.”

…As the information says, this Kitahara trainer’s knowledge of horse girls at home and abroad is totally different from what one should have at his age…

Glancing at Kitahara with a half-smile, Maruzenski pursed his lips slightly.
