Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 130: The Battle for the Three Crowns Begins (2 more chapters, 910 chapters )

With the meeting invitation from the "Beyond Team" or the banquet arranged by Kurokawa Masato, Kitahara was able to pay some attention to the corners of the venue at the following "Moe Monster" press conference.

However, the entire press conference was so popular that he had a clear understanding of the next arrangements for this project.

What Kurokawa Masato said was right. Xizhen Company paid great attention to this project. In addition to inviting major media to participate in the press conference, it also prepared a large amount of release content and advance commemorative edition peripherals related to "cute monsters" as gifts for attendees.

These peripheral products were not released in advance. In fact, the entire project was kept confidential beforehand. Apart from Masato Kurokawa, Kitahara and a few insiders on both sides, not many people knew the details.

For this reason, when the host of the press conference announced the official start of the project and gave each participant a gift, everyone who received the commemorative edition peripherals was extremely surprised.

Kitahara could clearly sense the surprise of the others, because after receiving the gifts, he, the proposer of this project, was extremely surprised.

The gift is a whole peripheral gift package, which includes the five most important images of this project, namely, scaled-down figures of Magma, Ghidorah, Inahiden, Super Mothra and Mejiro Mesra, as well as matching collector's edition gold-stamped original paintings, metal commemorative badges and other small peripherals.

Before, when Kitahara had only seen the secondary creations and drawn them himself, he had felt that these cute monster images were so adorable. Now that he had received the obviously meticulously crafted version produced by Xizhen Company, he fell in love with it almost instantly.

...Just the peripherals alone, I'm afraid the price won't be less than tens of thousands of yen, right? And it's still the kind of thing that's hard to find, after all, this is a commemorative edition...

Playing with the round "Mosla" in his hand and looking at its naive expression, Kitahara couldn't help but chuckle.

Moreover, with this image, I am afraid that the participants in this meeting are not willing to give others ideas...

Even Kitahara, the proposer of the project, was surprised, let alone everyone else. The other members of the Yongshi team had forgotten that they were at a press conference and there were a bunch of reporters taking photos and videos in the audience. They all shouted in surprise.

"Oh my! You actually let me play Godzilla! Kitahara, you actually remembered what I said, that's great!"

Like Kitahara, who was holding the "Haosila" in his own image, Oguruma seemed to be afraid that someone would snatch it away. He hid the figure in his arms without caring about his image at all and shouted excitedly.

But soon, she took out the figurine again and excitedly started to show it off to her friends around her.

"Tama, Inari! And Kobayashi, Aldan! Look! It's me! Isn't it awesome? I think Godzilla is the most awesome!"

She raised "Godzilla" and aimed it at Tamamo Cross and others beside her, imitating Godzilla's roar.

"hold head high--!"

"Alright, Xiaoyu, you have been defeated by my 'Atomic Breath'!"

Just like playing house, holding "Hatzilla" in front of him to block his face, Ogurumao hummed and imitated the monster's voice according to his own ideas, and said in a humming voice:

"Surrender, you have no chance of winning!"

Tamamo Cross and the others were originally giggling at their own monster images, and now when they heard Oguruma playing role-playing, they responded one by one without giving in.

“Huh? How could I lose so easily?! I’m King Ghidorah!… No, I’m Tamamo Ghidorah! And look at my appearance, I must be as strong as Caesar Ghidorah, Oguri… No, yours is the first generation, Hatsura, you’re no match for me at all!”

"That's right! My Inaho-don is not weak either, Oguri... ah no, Hatsura, don't be so arrogant!"

"Ah... Should I get involved as well? But Mothra doesn't seem to like fighting..."

"If you don't like fighting, Cove...ah, it's Super Mothra, we can just watch from the sidelines. If it accidentally hits us, we can fly."

"Oh, look at Aldan... No, no, look at Mejiro Mesra, he should be a spirit, and he can fly too. Then let's fly."

"Eh? Oh yeah, Rodan... No, my Inahit can fly, and Ghidorah can fly too... Hahaha, then doesn't that mean that only Magma can't fly?"

"Hahahaha, Xiaoli... ahem, Maosila, look, I told you that you are no match for me, right? You are the only one who can't fly!"

“…Damn it, how could this be… Hey, wait, can I be like this…”

"Hey, hey! Hatsla, you cheated, didn't you?! Why did you fly up like us just by turning your head?!"

"Hahaha, Hatsla can spit atomic breath at the ground, so that he can fly up by the reaction force of the impact! Oh no, I can't talk at this time, I should...beep beep beep--"

...Xiao Limao, I always feel that your intelligence seems to be always in strange places...

Looking at the horse racing girls beside him playing with the figures in their hands as if they were playing house, Kitahara found it funny but also wanted to complain.

At this time, you remembered the existence of reaction force. Why do you always have such a hard time learning physics in school and need Xiaohaiwan and Aldan to help you with your lessons, Xiaolimao...

After laughing secretly for a while, Kitahara thought that the press conference should continue, so he looked around.

As a result, he found that it was not just Oguruma and the others, but all the participants seemed to be in a state of childishness. The others were also sharing the newly received action figures as gifts with the people around them, and from time to time they used the figures to imitate famous scenes from Godzilla movies and joked with each other.

Even Komiyama, Yusuhara, Kyoko and the others were still discussing with the staff with expectant expressions to see if they could get another gift. It seemed that they wanted to bring one back for trainer Mino, Yusuhara Ryuko, Kokubo Ren and other trainers or elders who also liked Uma Musume.

The same was true for the reporters in the audience. They seemed to have forgotten about the interview for a moment and kept discussing the gift with the people next to them.

The same is true for Fumino Nase and her transcendence team in the corner.

"Wow! I didn't expect that Kurimaro and the others would have such cute images!"

Qingzhu Huiyi, who is very straightforward in character, stroked the figures back and forth as if he couldn't let go, and exclaimed in amazement again and again.

"I always felt that they were usually very serious and earnest, but I didn't expect that they would have such a cute side."

"Serious? Serious?"

Also holding the figure of Ogurtori, Dido Shooter showed a weird smile, "Come on, how could you have such an outrageous impression?"

Qingzhu was stunned by the memories.

"Eh? Isn't it? Take for example, Kourimo. I always feel like she is either training or on her way to training every day. She always comes into class on time in the morning, covered in dust. It's obvious that she just trained. And she doesn't seem to like talking to people. She looks very cold."

She was a little puzzled and said, "Tamamo Cross and Inari One are similar. They seem to be very serious in their training and don't like to talk to others."

"Although Super Xiaohaiwan and Mejiro Aldan will take the initiative to communicate with other students, they are too mature, especially Aldan. As expected of the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family, her every move is full of the demeanor of a noble family. The thought of interacting with her makes me feel very stressed."

"So until now, I haven't talked to them much..."

"Oh, I see. No wonder you had that strange impression."

Dido Shooter held the figure of Ogururu in one hand, his eyes fixed on the tall, smiling Uma Musume on the stage with long silver-white hair, and his lips curled up silently.

"In fact, these guys are very simple. Let's not talk about Xiao Haiwan and Aldan for now. They are indeed more mature, but the remaining three..."

"Rather than saying they are usually very cold, it's better to say they are a bit naive and don't really know how to interact with others."

"And besides that..."

She seemed to want to say a few more words, but Sakura Chiyoou beside her suddenly agreed with her with a smile.

"Yes, I spent a few days with Oguri and the others because of some small things. They are actually very easy to get along with and are very cute horse girls."

Holding the "Super Mothra Figure" of Super Cove in her hand, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"But they are all very strong opponents. We will meet them on the court next. I am really looking forward to it!"

“…Ah, that’s true.”

Didu Shooter withdrew his gaze from the Ogurashima on the stage, looked at Sakura Chiyo, looked at the "Super Little Bay" in her hand, then looked at the "Ogurashima" in his own hand, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"He is indeed a very powerful opponent, so Qingzhu is not wrong. Such an opponent..."

"We must do our best to deal with it."

Yaezhe Wudi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

What she was holding in her hand happened to be the figure of Altan Mejiro, the last horse girl of the Eternal Team to participate in the Classic Triple Crown, besides Ogururo and Super Kobay.

"Although the opponent I'm most looking forward to is Tamamo Cross, followed by Oguri Hat."

"Of course, Mejiro Aldan's debut match was extremely exciting, and he is also a strong opponent."

She suddenly flipped her hand and took out a letter.

On the surface of the white letter, the three words "Challenge" are vigorous and powerful, and every stroke is full of strength and rigor, just like the expression of this horse racing girl at the moment.

"At the subsequent banquet, I will personally hand over this letter of challenge to Mejiro Aldan. In addition..."

She looked at Dido Shooter, Sakura Chiyoou, and Aotake Yoshimo who all had strange expressions on their faces, then looked at her own trainer Di Ye Yoshiyuki, at the cold-faced Nase Fumino, and the expressionless Kouchi Tadashi, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for tolerating my willfulness."

Hearing this, Nanase Fumino, who was a member of the Beyond Team, opened her mouth slightly and was about to say something, but Di Ye Yixing, who looked as serious as a rock, suddenly opened his mouth wide.

“Hahahhhh!!! Yes!!! It is so formal and so impressive!!!”

This shout startled everyone in the Beyond Team. If the venue had not been so noisy at that moment, the entire venue would have been silenced by this loud shout.

"Since we are your opponents, we should challenge you squarely!!!"

"Don't worry, Yae. We all support you with all our strength!!!"

After a burst of shouting, the other members of Chaoyue were still in a daze and hadn't reacted. Although they were also frightened just now, Yae Wudi was the first to react.

"Master is absolutely right! Yae should live up to everyone's expectations! Ha!!!"

She suddenly shouted loudly, and puffed out her chest and stomach with great pride, then suddenly threw a straight punch into the air in front of her.

At this time, other people from the Chaoyue team reacted.

"…If you want to go all out, you have to have adequate nutrition…"

Xiao Neizhong, who had been sitting there for a while like a black iron tower, suddenly murmured something, and then fell silent as if he was lost in thought.

"...Everyone, please be quiet. You are disturbing others."

As the chief trainer of the Transcendence Team, Fumino Nase also spoke in a low voice. Her tone was calm, but her face, which was covered with her hand, showed a distressed expression.

"If you have anything to say, I'll have a chance to tell you and my opponents after the press conference."

As Nanase Fumino reminded, the master and apprentice, or the trainer and the horse girl, Di Ye Yixing and Yae Wudi, had just shouted loudly, and the audience around who heard it all had frightened expressions. Those who were a little further away seemed to have noticed the commotion here and turned their heads to look over.

Fortunately, the entire venue was not small, and there were many people participating in the press conference. In addition, the host on the stage announced the next release step, and everyone's attention was attracted to the stage again, including the members of the Beyond Team.

The host of this press conference was a star of a variety show under Xizhen Company. He was very skilled in his job. After distributing gifts to the participants at the beginning, the scene was noisy for a while, but the host quickly took control of the situation. Through interesting speeches like a talk show, he made everyone laugh while pushing the normal press conference forward without leaving any trace.

The process of the press conference was not complicated. After giving an overall introduction to the background of the "cute monster" project, the project promotion process was quickly announced in chronological order.

The entire process is similar to most film and television projects. The selection of publishers, advertisers, peripheral production and other related companies, contract negotiation, and promotion methods are all well-regulated and basically carried out according to mature routines.

With this arrangement, the entire press conference went smoothly, and at the end, it was the routine interview session.

Before going to the press conference, Kitahara had considered that horse racing girls like Oguruma and others were not good at dealing with interviews, so he discussed with Tomomi Konan in advance that the interview part would be handed over to a professional spokesperson. Tomomi Konan had obviously discussed this matter with Masato Kurokawa, so when it came to the last stage, the president personally stood up and announced that the press conference was basically over, and those who needed interviews should communicate with the spokesperson, and the rest was the banquet.

The banquet for the participants at the press conference was different from that at Kitahara. The former was held directly in a larger hall on the second floor, while the latter, led by Kurokawa Masato, went straight to the top floor of the Xizhen Film and Television Building.

Nanase Fumino's transcendence team must have been arranged in advance. When Kitahara and others reached the top floor, they were already waiting here.

Or to be more precise, they have already started eating.

This was a buffet banquet. It should be that Masato Kurokawa learned from Tomomi Kokusu that horse girls like Oguruma had big appetites, so the various dishes he arranged were rich and the portions were exaggerated.

However, after seeing with his own eyes how much Oguruma and the others ate, President Kurokawa was still extremely surprised.

"...Uh, excuse me, Chief Kitahara, although I knew in advance that Oguruma and the others had a big appetite..."

With an expression of disbelief on his face, Kurokawa Masato smiled wryly and pointed to the banquet hall, "But this portion... isn't it a bit too much?"

Kitahara was also paying attention to his horse racing ladies, and naturally saw that led by Oguruma, Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi, Super Little Bay and Mejiro Altan, all of whom, after realizing that this was a buffet, happily carried plates as big as pot lids, filled with food that was a head taller than their upper bodies. Only Shin Shinkyou had a relatively "normal" appetite, and she only carried a large tray. Afterwards, they found a corner and started to eat while chatting and laughing with each other.

He didn't care about these. After all, as the chief trainer of the Eternal Team, he saw such scenes every day and there was nothing to be surprised about.

Not only him, but Komiyayama, Yusuhara and Miyamura Kyoko also looked accustomed to it. After each of them presented some food, they gathered together to chat.

What Kitahara was mainly concerned about was the reactions of the members on both sides after seeing each other.

Hmm... no big surprises? Apart from some surprise when they met, it seemed that both Oguruma and the others, as well as Komiya and the others, were just surprised by the arrival of the Chaoyue team...

Noticing that both teams greeted each other very familiarly after being surprised, Kitahara pondered secretly.

Did he notice him just like I did during the press conference, or did he not care, or did he feel that if there was anything, I, the chief trainer, would handle it...

While thinking about this, he saw that Ogurimao and the others had already greeted Sakura Chiyoou, Dido Shooter, Aotake Omoide, and Yae Mudi, and were slowly starting to gather together to eat. Komiya and the others were showing similar behavior, so he felt relieved.

Well, if there is something wrong, I should deal with it first.

After thinking for a while, Kitahara remembered what Kurokawa Masato had just asked, but he couldn't remember it at the moment, so he looked over apologetically.

"Oh, sorry, I was just looking around. President Kurokawa, what did you say?"

Kurokawa Masato smiled.

"I was just surprised at how much Oguruma and the others eat. Although I've heard about it before, seeing it with my own eyes was a bit too exaggerated. This is a bit unexpected."

He paused, then smiled and said, "Besides, this isn't a very formal occasion. If you don't mind, I think we can just call each other by our names. There's no need to be so formal."

Feeling that Kurokawa Masato wanted to show his friendliness, Kitahara hesitated for a moment and did not hesitate.

"Well, since President Kurokawa is a few years older than me, I won't be polite, Brother Kurokawa."

After changing the address, he indeed felt much more relaxed and casual, and couldn't help laughing.

"As for how much Oguruma and the others eat, to be honest, I was also surprised when I first saw them in Kasamatsu, but I got used to it after seeing them so many times."

He looked at the little chestnut hat in the banquet hall, whose cheeks were puffed up and who was being pointed at and laughed at by his friends and companions, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"And I took Oguri to get checked out before, and it was the famous doctor Kokubo Ren who personally analyzed it."

"He said that Oguruma's digestive system has a digestive enzyme that is very rare among horse girls, which makes her appetite unusually good."

"Later, I also did relevant examinations with Tamamo Cross and the others, and found that Tamamo Cross's digestive and cardiopulmonary systems are almost the same as Oguruma's, which makes it easier to understand."

"As for the others in Little Bay..."

Kitahara gestured with a smile, "Because Doctor Kojiu was very interested in the digestive enzymes in Oguruma's body, he developed a stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet based on this, which is very helpful for appetite and digestion. So we can't say that the horse racing girls of the Eternal Team are all better eaters than the others, we can only say that they are better eaters than the others."

"Look at how much they eat now. If I didn't know, I would have thought they were having some big eating competition." He finally pointed at Oguruma and the others and made a joke.

"I see. If you don't have any gastrointestinal pressure, eating more shouldn't be a bad thing. Of course, as a trainer, Brother Kitahara must know this better than me."

After expressing his admiration, Kurokawa Masato showed an interested expression again.

"Speaking of which, I've also heard of that stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet. President Xiaonan mentioned that it was a collaboration between Hewan Enterprise and Lejing Pharmaceuticals. It seems to be the 'Oguruma' brand."

"Can humans like us eat this kind of digestive tablet?"

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

"Brother Kurokawa, the physiques of humans and Uma Musume cannot be generalized. They look very similar to our body structures, but whether it's their internal organs such as digestion, heart and lungs, or their senses such as hearing and smell, they are different from ours."

"If we use the medicines they can use casually, it will cause problems. For example, if we take those digestive tablets, I'm afraid our digestive ability will suddenly exceed the speed of nutrient intake, which may lead to malnutrition."

Seeing Kurokawa Masato smile awkwardly, Kitahara thought for a moment and made another joke.

"Also, even a horse girl can't eat too much. No matter how effective those digestive tablets are, they have a limit. If you eat too much, you will still become a fat colt... ahem, you will still get fat."

"I see. As expected, chatting with outstanding trainers like you can tell me a lot of interesting things that you won't see in the news."

With Kitahara's deliberate calming, Kurokawa Masato's expression returned to normal. Then, when he looked at Oguruma and the others, his expression changed slightly.

"It seems that my junior schoolmate can't wait any longer."

Kitahara was also stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously followed Kurokawa Masato's gaze. He immediately saw Nase Fumino walking slowly towards him with a drink in her hand.

"Senior, and Chief Kitahara, good evening."

Seeing the two gazes coming over, Nase Fumino stopped for a moment when she got closer, bowed slightly, and then walked towards this side again. At the same time, she took out a letter from the inside of her clothes with the hand that was not holding the drink and handed it over.

"Chief Kitahara, please."

This made Kitahara and Kurokawa slightly stunned. They looked at the letter at the same time, and when they saw "Challenge" clearly written on the white cover, they were both stunned.

"... Junior, didn't we agree to meet and chat today? Your challenge..."

Kurokawa Masato showed a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and was somewhat worried about the tense atmosphere. He raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to push the letter of challenge away, and said gently:
"Or maybe I should write this letter some other day..."

"It's okay, Senior."

Flipping her hand casually, Nase Fumino seemed to be determined to stick to this matter, and continued to point the letter towards Kitahara, then said calmly:

"I think Chief Kitahara will not refuse this challenge."

"Sakura Chiyoou and Super Cove will participate in the Wakaba Tournament, Dido Shooter and Oguruma will participate in the Yayoi Tournament, and Mejiro Altan has officially debuted now. If nothing unexpected happens, he should also choose the Spring Tournament."

"Yae Mudi has already signed up for the Spring Tournament. He just wanted to make it official, so he wrote this letter and asked me to pass it on to Chief Kitahara. Please accept it, Mejiro Altan."

"Even without this letter, the two of them would have met at the spring tournament."

...It turned out that it was actually Yae Mudi's request that he wanted Masato Kurokawa to help arrange a meeting.

Staring at the letter, Beiyuan pondered for a moment.

This is quite like the style of that child. I remember that this horse racing girl has a very ancient personality and style, so it is not surprising that she could write such a challenge statement.

As for bringing the entire team here, it should be because they wanted to receive this challenge letter and make the competition between the two teams official. This is probably what the trainer Naise meant.

"...I understand. I will give this letter of challenge to Aldan."

As he said this, he took the envelope from Nanase Fumino's hand, put it in his arms without opening it, and nodded solemnly.

"Although Aldan has not seen the letter yet, she will accept it."

"Chief Naze, can you respond to Yae Mudi for me? They will meet at the Spring Tournament."

This was not an impulsive decision made by Kitahara. In fact, it had been decided in the internal meeting of the Eisei team that if Mejiro Altan made his debut successfully, then the arrangements of "Super Kobayashi and Sakura Chiyo Ou participating in the Wakaba Championship", "Oguri Hat and Dido Shooter participating in the Yayoi Sho", and "Mejiro Altan and Yae Mudi participating in the Wakaba Championship" could be completely finalized. This idea was even determined before Altan's debut game, and now that the debut game was successfully completed, there was naturally no reason to change the plan at the last minute.

It is now the beginning of March. The Gaoyue Award is fixed on the third weekend of April. The outpost battles are basically held in March, that is, before their respective outposts. Oguruma and the other three have enough time to prepare, and after participating in the outpost battles, they also have enough time to deal with the Gaoyue Award.

"it is good."

After giving a brief response and nodding slightly, Nanase Fumino looked a little apologetic and looked at Kurokawa Masato.

"I'm sorry, senior. This arrangement was a bit reckless. I mean the challenge. Please forgive me."

"Alas, you've already done it, why bother to apologize now? Besides, in your eyes, is the senior an unkind person?"

Perhaps because he didn't have to run a business or deal with situations, Kurokawa Masato felt very relaxed at the moment. He deliberately made a distressed expression, and then laughed in an instant.

"Besides, I can be considered as witnessing history."

His tone gradually became emotional.

“I remember when I was little, I once participated in a UAA party under the leadership of my mother.”

"At that party, Uncle Naze...ah, he's the father of my junior." He looked at Kitahara, explained briefly, and then continued with emotion:

"At the UAA party that year, Uncle Naze was the Trainer of the Year, and the Rookie Trainer of the Year, coincidentally..."

He looked at Kitahara steadily, "It's the Kitahara brothers' uncle, Mr. Rokuhei Ginjiro."

Kitahara and Nanase Fumino were both stunned. Both of them were younger than Kurokawa Masato. According to the latter, that year was probably when Rokuhei Ginjiro had just arrived at Chuo Gakuin, which was at least 10 years ago.

"I still remember that when Mr. Rokuhei came to Chuo from Kasamatsu, he was just like the Kitahara brothers. He made a big splash with his amazing performance right after he arrived. He was even more popular at the party than Uncle Naze, who had been famous for a long time."

"Perhaps he wanted to challenge his predecessors, or perhaps the reporters at the venue were deliberately making a fuss. In any case, that night was very similar to this moment, with one party issuing a challenge to the other."

Masato Kurokawa's eyes moved with emotion between Kitahara and Nanase Fumino, and finally stopped at the crotch of Kitahara's shirt, where the challenge letter was located.

"It's just that it was Mr. Rokuhei who handed in the challenge to Uncle Nase, and the two parties in the challenge were the trainers themselves, not the horse girls."

"This time, it was the junior sister who challenged the Kitahara brothers. In name, it was a challenge between horse girls, not between you trainers."

"What do you think? Is this a historical coincidence? Am I also a witness to history?"

Unable to help themselves, Kitahara and Nase Fumino looked at each other, with some fighting spirit in their eyes that they could hardly restrain.

After all, no matter how much Kurokawa Masato said that the challenge was between the horse girls and not between the two of them, as the trainers of their respective horse girls and the chief trainers of their respective teams, how could they stay out of it?

"...Mr. Liu Ping, my father always praises me, and I, a junior, also admire him very much."

After Kurokawa Masato finished speaking, Nanase Fumino almost immediately raised the drink in her hand to signal.

"In the past, the only person who could compete with my father was a legendary trainer whose skills were even compared to fairy magic. He was the 'Fairy Godfather', Mr. Rokuhei Ginjiro. This was my father, who was called a 'magician', and the trainer I wanted to surpass the most."

"But rather than surpassing my father or Mr. Rokuhei, I think I should surpass you first, Chief Kitahara."

"Although it's been a short time since I came to Central from Kasamatsu, but with Super Xiaowan's escape that defied common sense, Inariichi's overwhelming victory, Tamamo Cross and Oguruma's easy wins, and Mejiro Altan's graceful debut like a dance, I think Kitahara should be the top player right now... No."

She shook her head slightly and stared at Beiyuan intently.

"He should be the most popular newcomer in the history of URA, a trainer who even surpasses all the seniors, Chief Kitahara."

…So this is what transcendence really means.

Beyond my father, beyond my uncle, and now... beyond me.

Is this the original intention of establishing the Beyond Team?

Looking silently at Nase Fumino, who had a cold expression on her face but whose eyes were showing a growing fighting spirit, Kitahara also raised the drink in his hand.

"You're welcome, Chief Naise. I..."

For a moment, he wanted to say something humble as he did in the past, but after subconsciously turning his head and looking at Xiao Limao, he suddenly felt that perhaps at this moment, even if not many people saw it, there was no need to be humble anymore.

Because he is no longer the unknown local trainer in Kasamatsu. Too many people are watching him. Ogurimaru and the others, Komiyama, Yusuhara and the others are working hard for the same dream with him. What he should do at this moment is not to be humble, but to admit something.

"I will do my best to lead the Eternal Team to compete with you and the Beyond Team in this year's Classic Triple Crown."

"it is good."

Another extremely simple response, Nanase Fumino raised the drink in her hand higher, with an excited look and a calm expression, she drank the drink in one gulp as if she was drinking wine.

The communication on Kitahara's side did not attract the attention of the horse racing ladies. They seemed to be in another dimension. While feasting, all they talked about was today's press conference.

"Oguri-Oguri! And Xiaohaiwan! How did you come up with this? It's so fun to think of such a cute doll and such an interesting four-frame comic strip!"

After the experience of meeting Kasamatsu, Sakura Chiyoou had an obviously better relationship with Oguruma and the others. She kept asking questions with starry eyes.

"Did you come up with this idea on your own? I think the original painting of Aldan should be the experience of your blindfold training some time ago? It's really interesting, how did you come up with this idea?!" She asked again in surprise.

Oguruma and the others did not hide their blindfold training from others. The whole training lasted for about a month. During this period, except for Aldan, the rest of the horse girls in the Yongshi team wore blindfolds no matter in their daily life, class or some simple training. Naturally, they were very eye-catching, and many classmates, teachers and trainers asked curiously, and then they realized that it was a special training.

"Hmm? Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm."

With a mouth full of food, he glanced blankly at Sakura Chiyoou, a thoughtful look in Oguruma's eyes before he hummed seriously.

It is naturally difficult for anyone to understand such a speech. Sakura Chiyo King was also at a loss, and Qingzhu Huiyi on the side could not help but feel puzzled.

"...Hey? What is Oguruma-san talking about...?" Qingzhu recalled and scratched his head, looking distressed.

"Huh? No, we don't know that either. It's all Kitahara's idea."

Also eating food, but with less stuff in his mouth, Tamamo Cross translated for Sakura Chiyoou and the others, then smiled and said:
"Well, I'm not sure if it's these exact words, but what Oguri said must mean this."

"...No, wait, how can you understand what Oguruma-san said, Tamamo Cross-senpai?"

The authentic styles of Tamamono Cross and Inari Ichi have been going on for a year, and they debuted even earlier, so Aotake's tone of recollection is respectful but also full of doubts.

"Is this some kind of encrypted call?" She scratched her head in distress again.

"It's not an encrypted call."

This time it was Inari who explained with a smile, "We've been with Oguri for a long time, and she often eats like this, so we've gotten used to it."

"Yeah, if we can eat together more often like today, or even train together, you will know what Xiaoli is talking about."

Xiaowan added with a smile, then looked at the plate in front of Xiaokuimao.

"Hey, Xiaoli, your plate is empty. Do you want me to help you get some more?"

"Mmm, chew chew chew, swallow---No need, little bay, I can do it myself."

After quickly finishing the food in his mouth, Xiao Limao picked up the empty plate with a smile and walked towards the dining table.

"Would you like to eat something more? I can get it for you."

"No need, just eat it yourself..." X4.

The remaining four horse girls of the Eternal Team laughed bitterly in unison, with Aldan Mebiro especially adding a sentence.

"Well, even though I've seen it many times, I'm still surprised at how much Xiaoli eats."

"…An opponent who is so powerful that it is unimaginable."

He had been eating in silence, but out of the corner of his eye he had been keeping an eye on Yaezhe Wudi from the Yongshi team, who suddenly spoke.

"This amount of appetite is really hard to surpass. My practice is not yet enough."

"Yae, don't be so competitive in this kind of situation..." X3.

This time it was the turn of the remaining members of the Chaoyue team to complain.

After complaining, Didu Shooter silently watched the departing figure of Little Chestnut for a while, and suddenly stood up.

"Ah, although I can't challenge your appetite, I'm still not full. I'll go get some more food."

She picked up the plate that had been empty in front of her for a long time and walked straight towards Little Chestnut Hat.

"Hmm, I feel like I'm only 70% full, so I can still eat a little bit of this, this, and this... Hmm, it seems like Kitahara said that I can't eat too much at night, so I won't eat this, I'll just eat some fruit."

Choosing food to himself, and filling up the large plate in his hand, Little Chestnut finally started to pick fruits. "But I can't eat too much other things at night, why can I eat so much fruit..."

She was wondering to herself when she heard a casual voice from the side.

"Because fruits have very little calories and protein, for example, this apple you are about to take has only 100 kcal of calories, 61 grams of protein, and 0.2 grams of protein in 16.2 grams. No matter how much you eat, it won't be excessive. At most, you will feel a little bloated because of the excess water."

"But, judging by the appetite you've shown, I'm afraid you've never known what it feels like to be full."

Turning around in surprise, she saw a horse racing girl wearing a hood and earrings. Oguruma was stunned for a moment, then she became happy.

"Di Du, it's you. You are so amazing. You know so many things."

"It's Didu Shooter! We've been in the same class for more than a month. Haven't you gotten over your problem of not being able to remember other people's names?"

Didu, the shooter, pulled the ear without an earring like a madman, stared with his eyes wide open, then became helpless.

"Also, although my trainer kept memorizing the specific data, didn't we learn about fruits being more suitable for eating at night in our biology and home economics classes?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Di, Didu, I always feel sleepy in class, and I had to rely on Xiaohaiwan and Aldan to tutor me before the exam."

Xiao Limao scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Ah, I know about that. You sit behind Yae. She told us a long time ago that sometimes you can be heard mumbling about what to eat for lunch in your sleep after you fall asleep."

After pulling his ears helplessly again, the archer Didu's expression gradually became serious.

"Hey, Yayoi-sho, how are your preparations going?"

Xiaolimao was stunned for a moment, "Yayoi Award? That's the event I'm going to participate in next..."

“That’s what I want to participate in, too.”

Spreading out his hand, extending his index and middle fingers, Didu archer raised the corners of his mouth, "March, Zhongshan Arena, G2 event, 2000 meters on grass, clockwise..."

"You and I will both participate... one of the preliminary battles for the Gaoyue Sho, the Yayoi Sho."

"……Oh."

Although he responded indifferently, Oguruma's momentum was visibly rising.

"Yes, I want to participate in the Yayoi Award with you, Dido."

"Didu, you are amazing. I can feel it."

"Beiyuan also said that what you are best at is exactly the same as what I am best at, which is..."

"The last kick, that's right. My other skills are just so-so, so I am more confident in the last kick."

Staring at the little chestnut hat, Didu the archer raised his mouth higher and higher, "Even if I'm competing with you, a guy like you who is known as the 'reed-haired monster', I am confident that I will never lose to you in the final blow."

"How about it? Do you want to fight? Let's see whether your reed-haired monster's leg strength is more terrifying, or my chestnut-haired bullet's leg strength is better?"

Her aura also rose, her pupils suddenly condensed, and her gaze shot out straight like a bullet.

"Perhaps, your record of 13 wins out of 13 games will be ended by me in this Yayoi Sho!"

"The end..."

Looking at the archer Didu without showing any weakness, Little Chestnut Hat suddenly smiled.

"……why are you laughing?"

Didu archer frowned slightly, puzzled, "Don't you believe it?"

"I do not know."

Shaking his head seriously, Oguruma looked towards his companions and smiled even more brightly.

"I just feel that if it was just when I was in Kasamatsu, I was just mediocre in other aspects, and only my last kick was really good."

"But not anymore. I think that with the help of Kodama, Inari, Kobayashi, and Aldan, Kitahara, Komiyama, Yusuhara, Kyoko, and Kouki, I may have become powerful in other ways as well."

She looked back at Dido the Shooter.

"So, if you just want to fight me, I... should still win."

"……Yeah."

His mind involuntarily thought of the outstanding performances of each member of the Eternal Team so far. Shooter Didu's pupils shrank, but the corners of his mouth continued to curl up.

"Then it's not a matter between the two of us..."

Just like Oguruma just did, she also looked at her companions.

"…This is a matter between all of us horse girls. I mean, this classic triple crown battle…"

While Oguruma and Dido Shooter were talking about the Yayoi Award, coincidentally, the remaining horse girls from the two teams who were still at the table also talked about the subsequent classic triple crown.

"Hey, why did Dido-san take so long... Hmm? Was she talking to Oguruma-san about something?"

Qingzhu recalled that he was the first to notice the figures of Oguruma and Didu Shooter talking, and he couldn't help but stand up.

"I gonna go see……"

She couldn't get through because Yae Wudi held her back.

"No."

After making a concise stop, he stared at Oguruma for a while, then slowly shifted his gaze to Mejiro Aldan.

"They should be talking about the Yayoi Award."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere here suddenly became much more solemn. The horse racing ladies who were originally chatting and laughing all froze their smiles, especially Mejiro Aldan, Super Little Bay and Sakura Chiyoou. After their smiles froze for a moment, they involuntarily restrained their smiles.

"...Yes, I'm afraid that Xiaoli will not take the initiative to talk about this matter, but Dido-san..."

Halfway through his sentence, Mejiro Aldan met Yae Invincible's gaze.

"So, Yae-san, do you want to talk to me too?"

Her smile reappeared on her face, and her beautiful eyes curved, but the degree of her narrowing was a little too exaggerated, covering her amethyst-like bright eyes.

"Like, the spring tournament?"

"Since I have completed my debut match, the next match will naturally be this one, the Spring Tournament that Yae-san will participate in."

"As expected, Mejiro-san will be participating in the Spring Tournament."

Nodding very slowly, Yae Wudi stretched out his hand, "There are many things I want to talk about, but..."

She paused, waiting silently, until Aldan stared at her hand for a while, reached out and held it, then she continued:
"Let's talk about everything in the game, that's my opinion."

"Okay, I will definitely have a good chat with Yae-san at the Spring Tournament."

The two horse girls were obviously on the verge of a showdown, while Super Little Bay and Sakura Chiyo, who were also going to meet on the field, smiled bitterly at each other.

"Oh my, a good party has suddenly turned into this..."

"Really? We agreed to just come here to eat something after handing in the challenge letter, why is it like this again..."

They both sighed at the same time, were stunned by each other's words, and then fell into silence.

"Then, I'll see you on the field, Prince Chiyo."

"U-Um, please give me your guidance at the Wakaba Tournament, Xiaowan."

They said it in unison again, and they were both stunned again. This time they did not remain silent, but smiled in tacit understanding.

"...Ah, the way you two are doing makes me want to compete too..."

Puffing up his cheeks and muttering a little unwillingly, Tamamo Cross's expression suddenly changed. He showed a surprised expression and looked at Inari and Aotake reminiscing.

"Hey, you two, why don't we each go find our trainers and see if we can participate in a game together? It sounds like that would be super fun!"

Inariichi and Aotake Yui were originally looking at Mejiro Altan and the others with envy, but when they heard Tamamo Cross's words, they were immediately surprised.

"Hey! This is great! I..."

Aotake Yui also has a straightforward personality similar to Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi, and immediately cheered.

But in a flash, her expression changed and she began to look distressed.

"Ahhh, no, my debut performance was too bad. I was 5th once, 2nd once, and only made it to debut successfully on the third try. After that, I had to do it three times in a row."

She smiled bitterly and looked at Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi, "This result is far behind your two seniors."

"Besides, I am still in the classic year. I am afraid I cannot participate in many competitions that the two of you can participate in, which makes it even more difficult for us to compete together..."

"Huh? I see. Then it seems like they can't really be compared..."

Tamamo Cross twisted his mouth, spread his hands regretfully, shrugged his shoulders, and then his expression changed.

"Oh, that's bad. It seems that I can't compete with you, Inari? Our next competition should be G1 or G2. It seems that you can't participate, Inari?"

"Yes, alas, I just came from a place, and my results are still a little far from Xiaoli's. I guess in the next game, I will either be G3 or OP. The number of fans is not enough to participate in the G2 type of competition."

With a sigh, Inari continued to look at Super Cove, Mejiro Aldan, Sakura Chiyoou and Yae Mudi with envy, then his eyes became firm.

"But it doesn't matter, we will definitely meet on the field, so there is no need to regret anything!"

"Xiaoyu, Qingzhu, the three of us should cheer for these guys this time and look forward to them bringing us and everyone else an extremely exciting game!"

Throughout the banquet, there were challenges and agreements between the trainers and horse girls from both the Yongshi and Chaoyue teams, but the overall atmosphere was still very relaxed, especially with the host Masato Kurokawa deliberately adjusting the atmosphere, the subsequent interactions between the two sides were mainly relaxed and enjoyable.

But when it came to the second day of training, leaving aside the Chaoyue team, the atmosphere among Kitahara and others was obviously more positive and exciting than before.

“This Triple Crown Classic has attracted more attention than ever before.”

Before the training began, Kitahara spent more time than usual making arrangements. "Although there is no specific format, through the two reports of the last surpassing team and our press conference yesterday, the outside world has described this classic triple crown battle as a competition between two teams."

“Since this is the first time since the establishment of the URA Association that two teams have participated in the competition, the association, the board of directors and all parties attached great importance to it.”

"The URA Association even discussed directly to unify the three competitions of Wakaba Championship, Spring Championship and Yayoi Sho into one day, and has already made arrangements. It seems that those bigwigs also think that this is a team battle."

Looking in the direction of the college board office, Kitahara shook his head speechlessly.

"Anyway, according to the information provided by Chairman Akikawa, this year's Gaoyueshang outpost will be held on March 3."

He looked at Oguruma, Super Cove, and Mejiro Aldan in turn, and said slowly:

"Yayoi Sho, March 3, Zhongshan Stadium, 22 meters on grass, clockwise."

"Spring Championships, March 3, Zhongshan Stadium, Grass 22 meters, clockwise."

"Wakaba Championship, March 3, Hanshin Stadium, grass 22 meters, clockwise."

"Then according to this event arrangement, we can conduct two groups of training separately."

“Kuromo, Higashi, although you two are in different races, you have the same race schedule. This group is called the middle distance race group. You have not participated in this kind of competition, so run together with Tamamo Cross. If other horse girls want to join you, then run together.”

"Mid-range team Xiao Gongshan will take charge first."

"Aldan, the schedule for the Spring Championship is very similar to your debut match, so you can continue with your previous training. This group is called the mile schedule group, and Inari will run alongside you. Everything else is the same."

"The Yingli Group will be in charge of Yusuhara County."

"Myself, Miyamura Kyoko, and Shining Glory will follow the same schedule as before. I will rotate with Komiyayama and Yusuhara according to my subsequent schedule. Data analysis and daily meetings will continue as usual."

After Kitahara gave instructions to each team member one by one, Komiyayama and Yusuhara quickly led the "medium-distance group" and the "mile group" to their respective training grounds. The venue of the Central Academy was very large, which was fully sufficient to meet the training needs of the horse racing girls.

Kitahara stayed where he was because there was another horse girl here, Maruzenski.

"Well, Maruzen, you should be able to tell me what to pay attention to during this training and competition."

After waiting for Kitahara at the door of the trainers' dormitory early this morning, Maruzenski suggested that since Oguruma and the others were about to start the classic triple crown route, it was time to talk about some things that needed attention. Although she hoped that these things would not be told to others in a hurry and Kitahara should just know them himself, Kitahara had no questions and agreed and had been waiting patiently until now.

"Thank you for waiting for so long, Kitahara. You must have been very anxious before. It must have been difficult for you."

Now that he has been with Kitahara and the Yongse team for quite some time, Maruzenski spoke in a joking tone at first, and then slowly became serious.

"Actually, what I want to say is also related to what you just mentioned."

She explained earnestly: "The association and the board of directors attach great importance to this year's Classic Triple Crown."

"In addition to the ideas of those big shots, I, Qianming, and Luduo also submitted opinions, suggesting that you and the horse girls from Yongshi and Chaoyue should compete on the same field as much as possible."

Kitahara was a little surprised. "You guys also suggested this? Then..."

He was about to ask when his expression suddenly changed.

"Is it because of the domain?"

In his opinion, this possibility is more likely. After all, it is precisely because they want to assist the horse girls of the two teams, Eisei and Chaoyue, to master their fields that Representative Maruzenski and Representative Chiaki are following both sides to help. Only such an important matter seems to be worthy of the attention of the three giants of the Student Union and to make recommendations to the URA Association and the Central Academy's Board of Directors.

"Yes, remember what I said last time, that our field has unique triggering conditions?"

Maruzenski said seriously: "I think you still remember this incident, Kitahara."

"What I haven't told you yet is that in order to reach this trigger condition, it must be in a sufficiently intense game. Because whether it is the game situation that Lu Duo and I felt at this moment, or the data recorded by the Eternal Team so far, it proves that the moment when our physical indicators suddenly soared is during a high-intensity game."

"I have confirmed this repeatedly based on the data you provided me. I have also discussed this repeatedly with Lu Duo, Qian Ming, Gao Feng and others. I am basically certain of it."

Kitahara was not surprised by this statement.

In fact, before he heard Maruzenski talk about the field, he had already thought that he should be able to compare the various indicators of Oguruma and the others during the competition through the relevant records of medical instruments at Kyoko's side.

This idea has clearly produced results.

In the training match between Oguri Hat, Tamamo Cross, Super Kobayashi and Inari with Kasamatsu, Tamamo Cross's physical indicators showed significant improvement during the final sprint. At that time, the Eternal Team thought of the "field".

When Oguri-mao and Fujimasa March were having their last battle before coming to the Central Academy, relevant data also showed that Fujimasa March definitely entered the field within a certain period of time. These were also discussed with the members and March's trainer Shibasaki.

It is clear that both of these games meet the requirements of what Maruzenski called “high intensity”.

Through these two games and the "trigger conditions" mentioned by Maruzenski, Kitahara even thought that the so-called "domain" of the horse girls in this world and the so-called "another gift of the three goddesses besides their original nature" may be the manifestation of the "inherent skills" or "destiny" of the parallel world.

But even with such a clear idea, he still couldn't determine and further speculate the deeper truth.

Because there are only two games that can support this idea, and the data is not enough.

Thinking of this, Kitahara looked at Maruzenski and thought:
"So, Maruzen, what you mean is that each of the events in this year's Triple Crown Classic can be a competition of sufficient intensity, so that Oguruma and the others from the Eternal Team, as well as Sakura Chiyo and other horse girls from the Surpass Team, will have enough opportunities to master the field before this year's 'Japan Cup'."

Maruzenski smiled with relief.

"You really do understand this."

Then, with emotion in her eyes, she turned her head and looked in a direction outside the training ground. She was silent for a moment and suddenly changed the subject.

"You should also understand that the Flash Series has been gradually going downhill in recent years..."

"Downhill?"

Kitahara was a little surprised that Maruzenski suddenly said such a thing. He was a little confused for a moment, but when he followed her gaze and found that it was the location of the student union office, he suddenly understood something.

...Indeed, this generation is gradually becoming glorious, and it started with the debut of horse girls represented by Oguruma and their brilliant performance in various competitions. Most of these horse girls were surpassed by Eise from my side and Fumino Nase from my side.

Before that, if the Japanese horse racing girls want to talk about success, they have to go back to the generation symbolized by Rudo.

Any earlier would be the generation of Maruzenski, and because of her identity as a "horse girl", she was unable to have exciting confrontations with horse girls like Juzuka, Fujimasa, and Midorikusa. So in a sense, the entire generation is slightly inferior to the generation of Ludo Symbol, Chiaki Representative, and Katsuragi Ace.

Maruzenski now continued with emotion:
"To put it simply, ever since Lu Duo retired from the front line and became the student council president of Central Tresen College, the entire Shining Star Series in Japan has been left with a big hole. It seems that all the competitions are still very lively, but in fact, they are just the aftermath of the glory left by Lu Duo and others. If you really look closely, you will only feel a sense of emptiness."

"Although the association, the board of directors, and the various operators have tried various methods to make the competitions in recent years as exciting as they were in the past, but... Alas."

She sighed and shook her head.

"But how could a horse racing girl superstar like Luduo appear so easily?"

"Lu Duo...of course, Qian Ming and I are also aware of this. Although we all know this, we are still anxious. In order to discover talented horse racing girls, we spend a lot of time every year going to training grounds and academies across Japan to find such talents."

“I also spent a lot of time discussing with Chairman Akikawa and pushing the URA Association to revise the regulations to be more favorable to local horse racing girls and local trainers.”

At this point, Maruzenski looked at Kitahara and laughed.

"And the facts have proved that this effort was not in vain. There are indeed outstanding horse girls in the local horse racing girls who are almost buried, such as Oguruma and Inariichi in your team, and Fujimasa March, who is also from Kasamatsu like Oguruma. They are all extremely talented local horse racing girls. Oguruma and Inariichi's performance after coming to the central government did not disappoint these talents and indeed showed wonderful competitions."

"Chairman Akikawa has also successfully promoted the reform of the association. I think more and more outstanding horse girls will be discovered in the future."

Kitahara was a little surprised. Only then did he realize that the three giants of the student union were also actively cooperating with Akikawa Yayoi's reforms like himself. What surprised him even more was that the student union noticed the Fujimasa March.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved.

Under the influence of his foresight advantage, Oguruma is now much more powerful than in the parallel world, and correspondingly many horse girls connected with her have also become stronger. For example, Tamamo Cross has obviously been exposed to the domain in advance, Super Kobayashi and Mejiro Aldan have also made their debut earlier and eliminated the hidden dangers of glass feet. So it is natural that Fujimasa March, who has also been exposed to the domain, will be valued by the Central Academy.

However, Maruzenski sighed slightly at this moment.

"The only pity is that I contacted Fujimasa March and her trainer Mr. Shibasaki before, hoping that they could come to Central for development, but they refused."

She looked at Kitahara with a strange look in her eyes. "They said that they wanted to be like Mr. Kitahara, working hard and coming to Central College together. They don't want to be separated."

"It may be your influence, Kitahara. After discussing it a bit, we decided that if we gave them some time, they might be able to bring a surprise to the Umamusume world similar to the Eternal Team, so we didn't force them."

"Of course, the fact that the central government now has the two teams of your Eisei and Trainer Naise's Beyond is also a very important reason."

"After all, it is urgent to seize the time to let horse girls like Oguruma and Sakura Chiyo who have already debuted in the central competition master their fields."

"After saying so much, it all comes down to two aspects."

"On the one hand, as you said, Kitahara, this year's classic triple crown competition will be the most intense in recent years. In this case, it will be easy for Oguruma and the others to take control of the field. Chiaki and I will assist you and Nanase respectively, analyze the data of each game, and give the horse racing girls corresponding training and adjustments."

"on the other hand……"

At this point, the legendary horse racing girl suddenly revealed an intriguing smile, and her aura became more vigorous than ever before.

“I will be more involved in running training with Oguri Hat, Super Cove and Mejiro Altan.”

"Unlike the easy parallel runs in the past, I will show my domain-level strength in the next parallel runs."

Her gaze was intimidating, and for a moment, Beiyuan even had the urge to avoid her.

"Don't underestimate me, an old guy who has been retired for a long time. If you don't try your best in the next parallel running training, maybe you won't even see my back."

Kitahara did not feel that Maruzenski's words were exaggerated at all.

Referring to the current data of the Eternal Team, Kitahara analyzed himself that in terms of field, Uma Musume can be divided into three levels.

Those who have just touched the field can be called "entry-level". In this case, Uma Musume has the opportunity to exert the strength of the field in the game, burst out unimaginable potential in a short period of time, gain a momentary advantage, and even turn this advantage into a victory.

For example, the Tamamo Cross in the training match and the Fujimasa March in the Golden Youth Cup belong to this level.

The next level is the "mastery level". Tamamo Cross in the first Japan Cup, Oguri Cap before the second Japan Cup, Tony Bianca in the Japan Cup, and Dido Shooter who participated in the Arima Kinen with Tamamo Cross and Oguri Cap all belong to this level.

Horse girls at this level can choose whether to enter the field, and the duration of the field will be greatly extended. If the "entry level" can only last about 5 seconds, then the "mastery level" can extend this state to 10 seconds.

Regardless of whether it is "entry level" or "mastery level", it cannot be regarded as a true "field-level" horse girl.

Because at these two levels, the domain is not actually a true gift from the three goddesses. Using the domain at this time will, as described in the comics, put more burden on the body, and it will take longer time and better conditions to recuperate after the game, otherwise the body's fatigue will gradually accumulate into damage, leading to irreparable consequences.

In addition to the burden issue, there is also the effect of the domain. The domains at these two levels are a bit like the skills in mobile games, and there are time limits.

Especially for the "entry level", you can't even be sure when it will be triggered. If you really rely on this, it would be like desperately hoping that a skill will be triggered quickly when playing a game, or hoping that an "inherent skill" will be activated quickly.

Therefore, only by becoming a "field-level" horse girl can one be said to have possessed this divine gift from the three goddesses. Kitahara finally thought so.

At present, there is not much data on legendary horse girls like Maruzenski and "field-level horse girls". The generation when they were active did not have various advanced testing instruments like we have today, so Kitahara cannot be sure what the status is like when they reach that level.

However, judging from Maruzenski's description, "domain-level" horse girls can fully grasp all conditions of their bodies, even in intense competitions.

In other words, in this level of field, there is no need to worry about the problem of physical burden, and there will not be so many risks. This means that even if the characterization is over, the horse girl can still run freely on the track.

In addition to this, Kitahara also speculated that the "domain status" of the "domain-level" horse girls is probably permanent, which means that they are like having a fixed "attribute bonus buff". As long as their basic physical fitness is sufficient, their strength can almost present an overwhelming advantage over other horse girls.

This speculation was soon confirmed in the subsequent parallel running training.

"...To be honest, this is the first time I've seen the three of you get so tired while running side by side."

It was Kitahara's turn to be in charge of the "middle distance group" training that day, and Oguruma, Super Little Bay and Tamamo Cross in this group looked extremely tired at the moment. They were either leaning on their knees with their hands on their hips, with their heads held high, and breathing heavily.

“Maruzen-senpai… Haah… Too, too fast…”

It was extremely rare that he was out of breath. Xiao Limao leaned on his knees with his head down, and beads of sweat kept sliding down his cheeks, gathering at his chin and finally falling onto the grass.

The tips of the green grass where she was standing were covered with water droplets. It was already morning, and those droplets were naturally the sweat she was sweating.

Super Xiaohai at the side was also leaning on her knees and sweating, but she raised her head stubbornly and looked at Beiyuan.

"I...haah...I want to run with Maruzen-senpai...one more time..." As she said this, she rubbed the sweat that kept oozing out of her temples with the back of her hand.

...Hey, hey, I know you guys are unwilling, but you should take a rest in this situation...

Kitahara just gave a bitter smile, and a voice that was obviously panting but full of fighting spirit started shouting.

"Haaaa... let's do that too! Haaaa... let's run side by side again!"

With his hands on his waist, Tamamo Cross looked to the side with sharp eyes, "Maruzen-senpai... Haah! You must still have strength, right?! Let's... ha... run another lap?!"

Maruzenski was standing next to the three horse girls, but compared to Oguruma and the others, although she was also breathing heavily, her posture was more relaxed.

"Phew—don't be so impatient."

With a long sigh of relief, Maruzenski smiled with satisfaction, "You have performed very well today, there is no need to be anxious."

"There is still more than half a month until the race on March 3. During this time, I will run with you every day, and the intensity will be the same as today. If you want to run with me again, there will be plenty of opportunities."

With a smile and a few words of comfort, she waved to Kitahara again and walked towards another training ground.

"I'm going to Aldan now. I'll leave this place to you, Kitahara. I'll come back in the afternoon."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Maruzen."

Kitahara nodded gratefully towards Maruzenski's back and felt a little emotional.

...Is this the strength of a domain-level Uma Musume? Compared to Oguruma and the others, they are simply not in the same dimension...

After the parallel running training in the past few days, he has fully understood how exaggerated the existence of a domain-level horse girl is.

Without talking about various data, it can be seen with the naked eye that whether running side by side with the "middle distance group" of Oguruma or the "mile group" of Mejiro Altan, Maruzenski has demonstrated an overwhelming advantage.

Every parallel race was like what she showed in the competitions back then. She was not a horse girl with strong adaptability in leading, but she was much faster than the usual competitive horse girls, so she turned every race into an "escape" or even a "great escape" at one point.

Only at the end of the track could Ogurimo shorten the distance with Maruzenski with her monster last kick, or Super Bay could successfully use the "Arc Artist" tactic to slightly shorten the distance. Otherwise, the two of them and Tamamo Cross could only look at Maruzenski's back from afar and could not even shorten the distance.

The various data provided by Kyoko are displayed more clearly.

Maruzenski's individual data are not particularly exaggerated. A little analysis will reveal that her speed, endurance, strength and other values ​​are actually only 4% to 8% higher than the corresponding levels of Oguruma and others.

But the key point is that her basic level is only the foundation for the whole course. When she turns the corner and sprints to the finish line, this data will have a short-term explosive improvement like Oguruma and others.

In this way, at cruising speed, she can be a few tenths of a second or a few tenths of a second faster per meter. This accumulated lead will become a huge advantage in the end, not to mention that she can also burst out on this basis.

In this case, Kitahara can be completely sure that "domain-level" horse girls like Maruzenski completely regard the "domain" as a kind of "authentic" buff and maintain it for a long time. In this case, even if she has retired for many years, the intensity of her daily training should not be as high as when she was in service, and the paper value is still one level higher than that of Oguruma and others.

In addition, although horse girls like Ogurume have excellent talents, they are still not as experienced as Maruzenski in terms of competition. Therefore, the basic ability advantages and rich experience brought by the domain can be combined to show a crushing advantage when running side by side with Ogurume and others.

Knowing this, Kitahara was not discouraged by the fact that Oguruma and his team had not yet defeated Maruzenski in the training match. Instead, he was full of confidence.

...The domain is so strong. Once Oguruma and the others have mastered it completely, I'm afraid they will be able to achieve a completely different performance.

Perhaps, the horse girls at the international level, especially those in Europe and the United States, have field-level strength, but if our entire team persists day after day, coupled with the improvement in the field, we may not have no chance to compete!

Kitahara was suddenly full of confidence and was ready to encourage Oguruma, Super Bay and Tamamo Cross, telling them not to worry too much about their current performance, as they still had unlimited possibilities in the future.

However, when he turned to look at his horse racing ladies, he was stunned for a moment, because the three of Xiao Limao had calmed down their breathing and were now huddled together, whispering something.

"Well, there is something very strange."

Oguruma pinched his chin, with a rare thoughtful expression, "If Maruzen-senpai is so strong, if he participates in a G1-level competition, there shouldn't be any opponents, right?"

"Besides, I've seen Senior Rudolph and Senior Chiaki before. It seems that there are many very strong seniors. They should be as strong as Senior Maruzen, right?"

"But why haven't I heard of them participating in any competitions in these years?"

"Eh? It's rare, Xiaoli, that you can think about so many things. But I'm also quite confused by what you said."

Tamamo Cross also pinched his chin and raised his head in thought, "Although there is a limitation of 'realization', after the realization is over, if we want to continue running, there will be a greater risk of injury, but in the case of Maruzen-senpai and the others, we don't have to worry about this, right?"

Super Cove also joined the discussion.

"Mr. Kitahara should have said that this is because of the protection of the domain. They don't have to worry about this. For horse girls like Maruzen-senpai who have completely mastered the domain, even if the stage of mastering the authentic style is over, they still don't have to worry about injuries and can run freely."

“So, this should be even weirder, right?”
