Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 108 The Secret Weapon of the Little Bay
Maruzenski walked around the campus with Kitahara for a while, chatted about some random topics, and then left with the inspection team.

Kitahara felt that this legendary horse racing girl was quite cool, straightforward, cheerful, pretty and gentle. She came from a famous British family and had a good upbringing, so it was hard not to be attracted to her.

Of course, it would have been better if she hadn't specifically emphasized the "ride" before leaving.

"It's rare to meet a friend who is so easy to talk to. Kitahara, when you get to Tokyo, I'll take you for a drive."

Maruzenski was very happy to hear this, and he changed his address to the more intimate "Kitahara" instead of the polite "Mr." or "Kitahara-kun."

But Beiyuan declined this kind of happiness and kindness.

The "joy" that Maruzenski mentioned must be speeding.

Her hall title is "Dream Supercar" and her car is a scarlet supercar inherited from her father.

She raced the sports car at more than twice her sprint speed in a race.

She considered that to be a "normal speed for a sports car".

I'm afraid you have some strange understanding of the word "normal".

In short, for the sake of his own physical and mental health, Kitahara did not dare to agree. He just vaguely said "let's see when the time comes", and he was thinking in his heart whether he should ask Uncle Gu Jiu or Kyoko to issue a diagnosis certificate stating that "I feel uncomfortable when I sit in a red sports car."

The two busiest things are industrial management and reception of inspection groups. Apart from these, there are some other matters that take time, such as collating data, analyzing competitions, collecting domestic and foreign intelligence, etc. However, these are done on a regular basis, so Kitahara does not feel very busy.

Time passed quickly as they focused on their work. After taking a break, Oguruma and the others resumed their orderly training.

Oguruma's training continued as usual, with weights and parachute sprints.

The most important thing about this kind of training is not "quantity" but "quality". Simply increasing the number and the area blocked by the parachutes is meaningless. It is necessary to allow Oguruma to adapt after each increase in training intensity.

Therefore, the subsequent increase in quantity was not much, the weight was increased from 40 kg to 45 kg, there were still two parachutes, and the radius was slightly increased.

Xiaowan did not do weight-bearing and sprint training, and Kitahara planned to strengthen her specialty.

That is endurance.

That day, at Kasamatsu Swimming Pool.

"Since we have decided to pursue the triple crown route, we should start preparing from the beginning, even if we haven't debuted yet."

Looking at the super small bay and Miyamura Kyoko in front of him, Kitahara said in a deep voice: "The Gaoyue Competition is 2000 meters, the Japanese Derby is 2400 meters, and the Chrysanthemum Competition is 3000 meters. No matter which one, there are strict requirements for endurance."

"The prerequisite for winning a race is to complete the entire race, so from now on, Xiao Hai Bay, you need to focus on endurance training."

"Kyoko, please help me in this regard. Kasamatsu doesn't have any professional swimming training grounds, and the facilities are not comprehensive. I'll have to rely on you to find a way to collect the data."

"I will train hard."

"Don't worry, Brother Kitahara. Leave it to me."

After Xiao Haiwan and Kyoko agreed, Kitahara said:
"Little Bay, compared to Oguruma and the others, your shortcomings are obvious, but your advantages are equally obvious."

"Your weakness is strength. Oguruma, Tamamo Cross, and Inari are all stronger than you. It's hard for you to win a head-on confrontation with them in terms of explosive power, at least not now."

He pursed his lips slightly, clenched his fists quietly, and after a moment, Xiaowan nodded vigorously.

"I see."

Kitahara also nodded.

"According to the data provided by Kyoko, the number of mitochondria per unit volume in your body is 3 to 7 percentage points lower than that of Oguruma and the others. This makes your body's energy conversion level worse. Even if you want to explode, you lack sufficient energy."

"That's okay. We can adjust it through diet and nutrition later. The data from 3 to 7 is not a difficult problem to solve."

"It's mainly because Oguruma and the others have advantages in this area that you can't match in a short time."

He began to analyze them one by one.

"Xiao Limao has an excellent digestive system and eats a lot, so she has more energy reserves."

"Her heart is also very strong. Her low heart rate allows her to withstand more intense sprints and maximize the energy in her body." "Tamamo Cross has a strong balance and can perform more complex maneuvers during competitions."

"I asked you to watch the video of the 'Naruo Memorial' before, right? You should remember that in the early part of the race, she suddenly took the lead and then returned to the lead, disrupting the rhythm of other opponents. During the sprint, she also kept accelerating and continuously overtook and broke through. This is the effect of good balance."

Super Xiaowan’s expression became serious.

"That's right. Xiaoyu did the same thing during our training match. She accelerated suddenly at the end, bypassed the three of us, and took first place."

...Well, that actually has more to do with the field, but...

If you want to develop your field, you must have good basic qualities, so that the bonus will be effective. Otherwise, 0 is still 0 even if it is magnified a hundred times...

After thinking for a while, Kitahara nodded.

"Yeah, training matches too."

He finally talked about Inariichi.

"Inari's situation is more specific. Although she is small, she weighs much more than Tamamo Cross, and not much lighter than you and Oguruma. The reason is that she has a high percentage of muscle and a low percentage of body fat, and muscle is one of the heaviest tissues in the body."

"Kyoko's view is that it has something to do with her natural tendency to be active."

At this moment, Xiao Haiwan's expression changed and he smiled.

"Yes, little Inari is usually very active."

"If nothing else, she has a strange habit."

"When she eats, she sometimes eats a few bites, drinks a few sips of water, and then runs to the side... uh, runs to the side to pound the tatami."

“It’s very strange…”

She smiled bitterly, obviously puzzled.

Kitahara could understand it, he guessed it was just the bad taste of the "Three Goddesses".

The horse that Inariichi's prototype had this habit. When eating, he would take a fixed number of bites and drink a few sips of water, then run to the side and rub against the tatami. No one knows why it is like this, but it is like this anyway.

"In short, these aspects are the uniqueness and advantages of Oguruma and the others. You can't compare with them in a short time."

Beiyuan's expression became serious. "But you also have a unique advantage, which is the excellent endurance brought by your strong respiratory system."

The little bay nodded vigorously.

"Well, I know. I will work hard to build up my endurance and make it an unbreakable long board for me."

Kitahara laughed.

“Not only is it a longboard, it’s also your secret weapon.”

"Secret weapon?"

The little bay was stunned.

This time, Kitahara kept the secret a little bit.

"Imagine if you were to force your opponent to use up their energy in advance, especially in a 2000-meter or 2500-meter race, which is slightly shorter than the Chrysanthemum Festival, and turn the race into a long-distance race like 3000 meters, what would the result be?"

"Even if you train your endurance to the level of 4000 meters or even longer, and then quietly lead the pace in the 3000-meter Chrysanthemum Appreciation, causing your opponent to run out of endurance early, what will be the result?"

Looking at the eyes of the small bay that widened after being stunned, Kitahara smiled.

"Well, this endurance swimming training happens to be your first attempt. While you're getting used to this kind of training, think carefully about this secret weapon."

"I'll try to surprise Oguruma and the others next time I compete with them on the same stage."
