Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 110 Avengers?
Kitahara frowned for a moment, then started to laugh.

"Wait, Shibasaki, what's going on?"

He was in a state of confusion again. "All the other horse girls participating in the Golden Youth Cup were defeated by Oguruma? Are you saying that they are planning to form an Avengers Alliance?"

Shibasaki was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Why do you think that...? That's not the case. Didn't I just tell you that March has also signed up for the Golden Youth Cup? Do you think that given her friendship with Oguruma, she would get involved in something like what you're talking about?"

Kitahara subconsciously glanced at the runway.

The parallel running of Oguri Hat and Fujimasa March has ended.

Not far from the finish line, two horse racing girls with long silver-gray hair smiled and looked at each other.

They took the sports drinks handed to them by Xinxin Guanghui, raised their necks and drank them all in one gulp.

The sunlight outlines the slender white neck and the clear lines of the delicate cheeks, and also illuminates the crystal sweat flowing down the temples.

"No, they are not that kind of children. I think the other horse girls are the same. I am overthinking it."

Admitting that he was overthinking, Kitahara looked at Shibasaki, "So, this time... was it a coincidence?" This was the only reason he could think of.

"It's a coincidence, but it's also inevitable."

Facing Kitahara's gaze, Shibasaki nodded, looked at Fujimasa March, and then at Oguri Hat.

"March also happened to notice that the list of contestants looked familiar. After a quick comparison, I soon discovered that everyone had lost to Oguruma."

"That's no wonder. Oguruma is now the undisputed strongest in Kasamatsu. Even in the central government, he can be considered a strong man. He has participated in many competitions this year, so it's normal that he has lost many games."

"But with such opponents gathered together, with your ability, you should understand what is going to happen, right, Kitahara?"

Shibasaki's expression became serious.

Kitahara suddenly understood what he wanted to say, and his heart sank slightly.

"...In this Golden Youth Cup, all opponents will aim to defeat Oguruma, or to prevent her from winning."

"Even if they haven't discussed it, they will definitely adopt this strategy without any prior agreement."

"So, in this competition, Oguruma was targeted by all opponents."

On the training ground, Kitahara looked solemn because of Shibasaki's words.

“Haa… This isn’t the first time I’ve said this… Haa… But, Oguri, you really are a monster…”

After taking a break after running side by side, Fujimasa took some time to calm his breathing. He looked at Oguruma with admiration, whose breathing rhythm did not fluctuate much.

"You've become stronger again, Xiaoli."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Tianran nodded without any modesty, "Before the past month, Kitahara gave me extra training, and Xiaohaiwan and the others have also been helping me train. I feel like I've become stronger."

"...You really don't know how to be modest."

March pulled the corners of his mouth and finally chuckled, "But, this is you, Xiaoli."

"Hey? I am who I am? I don't quite understand what you are trying to say about the march..."

Little Chestnut Hat scratched his head in distress.

"Ah, nothing."

Smiling and shaking his head, March immediately looked serious, "I have something to tell you."

"In your next Golden Youth Cup, you will be targeted by 17 opponents including me."

"Eh? Including the March? Does that mean you're going to participate in the Golden Youth Cup as well?"

Xiao Limao became excited, "Great! It's been a while since I last competed with you. I thought I would have to wait until the East China Sea Derby before I could compete with you again!"

March was surprised at first, then frowned. "You... did you understand what I'm saying? You're being targeted. Don't you know the seriousness of this?"

Xiao Limao was stunned for a moment.

"...I don't really understand. For me, no matter what kind of competition it is, just run seriously and try your best. The rest is up to you..."

She pointed to the edge of the field and said, "Leave it to Kitahara."

"Although Beiyuan is very busy, I have thought about helping him think of some things so that he won't be so busy."

"But after trying, I found that I couldn't think clearly about many things. If I forced myself to think, I might end up causing trouble for Kitahara if I got it wrong."

"So, if what March said is important, let's go talk to Kitahara. He will definitely understand."

...The problem is, Shibasaki is already explaining this to Kitahara...

His eyes swept across the edge of the field and he saw that the two trainers over there had serious expressions on their faces. March guessed that they must be talking about what he had mentioned.

After thinking for a while, she looked at Xiao Limao seriously.

"Mr. Kitahara will definitely explain it to you again later, but I still want to remind you."

She took a deep breath, "Crown Author, Southern Girl, Bet Sugar, Street Dancer, Wild Henry, and... me, Fujimasa March."

"Xiaoli, do you remember these names?"

Oguruma showed a nostalgic expression.

"Hmm...it seems like we've all competed together, right? I can't really remember their names," she said uncertainly.

March nodded and added softly.

"Not only are these names your former opponents, but... they are all defeated by you."

"And he failed more than once."

"These, and many more horse girls who have been defeated by you, will participate in this Golden Youth Cup."

"Do you understand, Oguri? You are being targeted. All the horse girls in the Golden Youth Cup except you will target you."

"We will try our best to win you once before you leave Kasamatsu."

"Even just once."

Little Chestnut was silent.

Seeing this, March felt a little guilty, as her original intention was not to scare Oguruma.

On the contrary, she hoped that in the face of such a situation, Oguruma would be able to use all his strength and leave Kasamatsu and go to the central government without any regrets.

So she softened her tone and began to comfort him.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. We are the ones who should be worried."

She sighed, "I don't know what they will think, but I can tell you clearly how I plan to run this time."

"I am good at running away, and you are good at being ahead or in the middle. In the end, you can surpass all the opponents in front of you in one breath with your terrifying leg strength and win the championship."

"In order to defeat you, I will run faster and farther this time. I won't let you catch up with me easily."

"I would think so, and so would other horse girls."

"That is to say, you have to catch up with me faster, break through the more crowded front and center teams, and withstand the more pressing pressure from behind."

"It sounds hard, but I said, we are the ones who should be worried."

"In this situation, you can still win, and if there is a slight chance, you will win."

"How's it going, Oguri? Are you ready for the final battle before leaving Kasamatsu and heading to the central area?"
