Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 169: Mentality and Technical Adjustment before the Game (1w)

The principle of the "ultra-high-speed lane change" running method is not complicated in a strict sense. It allows the forces generated by different parts of the body to be different overall, so that at the right time, position switches that are unimaginable to the opponent can be made without affecting the speed.

Thanks to Oguruma's particularly innocent mind, the basic training in this area went much more smoothly than Kitahara had originally planned. After teaching her the theoretical skills, she mastered them almost on the same day.

Not only did she make rapid progress in her training, but she also discovered the "side benefits" of it and felt very satisfied with it.

"Look, Kitahara! I can now use my left and right hands to hold different kinds of food. This way, my eating efficiency can be nearly doubled!"

That day, in the evening cafeteria of Central Tresen College, Oddball happily shared her "new ability".

"...It's really an amazing ability. No, it's worthy of you, Oguruma."

The corners of his mouth twitched, Beiyuan felt a little helpless and a little amused.

How should I put it? It's really Oguruma's character to use all the abilities he has acquired for the matter of "eating"...

Also on this table are Super Cove, Mejiro Aldan, Shining Radiance and Oguri Roman.

After the orientation ceremony, Roman Oguri successfully entered Central Tresen College, and soon joined the Eternal Team under Kitahara's arrangement, becoming his horse girl.

In addition to the existing horse racing ladies in the team, there are also the Golden Ship and the All-Way-Tong who are used to assisting and visiting and learning at the table, as well as Special Zhou and Good Opera who come to eat after elementary school classes.

Seeing Oguruma's "magical ability to distract and do two things at once", the horse girls were amazed with different expressions.

"Oguri is really amazing. Aldan and I have been trying this technique for a few days, but I still feel like I'm not getting the hang of it."

Xiaowan felt a little emotional.

Like Oguruma and Tamamo Cross, Kobayashi, Aldan and Inari also began the initial training of "super high-speed lane change" after taking turns to receive guidance from Kitahara. However, compared to Oguruma's extraordinary talent in this area, the progress of these horse girls is a little slower.

"Don't worry, Xiaowan," Aldan comforted Xiaowan after hearing his words, "We are good at different abilities, and we all have corresponding abilities, running methods, and tactics."

"To be honest, Oguri's running tactics were only developed recently, which is later than ours."

"And it's not just her who can practice and master it, we're also learning, aren't we?"

"Chief Kitahara said that this ability was only mastered so quickly because Oguri was more adapted to it. We don't have that kind of personality, so it's indeed slower to master it, but it can be done with more time."

"I know all this, I'm just expressing my feelings."

With a smile, Xiao Haiwan said something like an explanation, then looked at Xiao Li Mao with a little worry, then at Aldan, and finally his gaze turned to Kitahara.

"I just had a casual chat with Didu and the others today, and I felt..."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel that there is still a big difference between our training and theirs."

"But with them, a lot of our training so far is different from the methods of most horse girls and trainers."

"Other horse girls obviously participate in more competitions than us. I wonder if we also need some extra competitions or something..."

Upon hearing this, Oguri Mao, Aldan, and Oguri Roman were all stunned, and the little horse racing girl who came to eat for a free meal was also surprised.

“Do I have to run a lot of races to become stronger?”

Huang Jinchuan was the first to question, "No, right? I feel that there are many ways to improve one's abilities, like the ability of splitting one's attention that the uncle taught me, which I think is very useful."

"And after asking the uncle last time, I feel that this is not difficult and is really easy to use."

As she spoke, she took advantage of the fact that the food on the table had not been finished by Xiaolimao, picked up a piece of candied carrot with her chopsticks in her right hand, and scooped up a large spoonful of fried rice with her left hand.

At the same time, she stuffed candied carrots into her mouth and pushed the fried rice towards Yilutong beside her. She groaned and said to Yilutong incoherently:
“Ahhh…Xiaotong, hey, open your mouth.”

“Eh? Oh oh… ah…”

After a moment's pause, Yi Lu Tong instinctively opened his mouth and ate the fried rice. Then he realized what had just happened and was suddenly surprised.

"Wow! Ah Chuan you are amazing, you have also learned the ability of Sister Oguri!"

“Hehe, this ability is very simple. A smart horse girl like me can learn it just by watching. There is nothing surprising about it!”

Completely forgetting that he had just said that he had specifically consulted Beiyuan, Huang Jinchuan boasted proudly.

After a few days of getting along, all the horse racing girls became very familiar with the Golden Ship. Seeing her acting funny, they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Te Bie Zhou laughed for a while and showed a similar worried expression as Xiao Haiwan before.

"I feel like what Sister Xiaowan said does make sense. I've seen a lot of horse racing girls and they do seem to have more competitions."

After hesitating for a moment, she looked around and saw a TV screen mounted on the wall of the cafeteria, which was broadcasting the Uma Musume evening news. She pointed at the screen and said:

"During the daytime class, our teacher was saying that many of the female horse racers who participated in the Classic Triple Crown have won many races."

"They should all be rivals of Sister Xiaoli and the others, right? Wouldn't it be better for Sister Xiaoli and the others to participate in some competitions as well?"

What Te Te Zhou was talking about happened to have been broadcast on the cafeteria TV before.

The horse racing girls she was talking about were none other than Dido Shooter, Sakura Chiyo and Yae Muten of the Beyond Team. These three horse racing girls recently participated in the NHK Cup, Aoba Sho and Shoucho Championship respectively, and coincidentally won the championship, a remarkable achievement.

As the chief trainer of Yongshi, Kitahara was naturally aware of such advice, but he was not too worried about the performance of his opponents and the arrangement of the competitions in the future.

He made it clear to the team at the outset that the training method that surpasses that of most horse girls and trainers today is generally the more traditional "training through racing". This method does have its merits, provided that the horse girls' physiques can keep up.

For example, Oguruma and Inariichi, two horse girls from local areas, actually participated in many competitions during their respective local stages.

The reason here is that the training conditions are relatively limited. The competitions there are basically around 800 to 1400 meters in length and the intensity is not very high, so you can participate in more events to improve your strength and competition experience.

However, the central reward level events are different. Both the intensity of the competition and the targeted training require more time and energy. If not handled properly, it will have a great impact on the Uma Musume. Therefore, Yongshi is not considering such "battle experience" format competition arrangements.

Kitahara knew that his ideas were unique. On the premise of knowing part of the future, more advanced training concepts and the future situation of most horse girls, "Learning Battles" was an option with very low cost performance and there was no need to consider it.

For example, taking Roman Oguri as an example, he feels that for the training of this kid, he doesn't even need to participate in too many low-intensity competitions in the early stages, and he should spend more time and energy on improving his foundation.

Generally speaking, horse girls will gradually show their talents around the time when they begin to become adult-like. It is during that period of time that trainers will consider recruiting their favorite candidates as horse girls.

In other words, it is actually very rare for someone like Roman Oguri to join the team right after entering school.

Kitahara naturally doesn't care about how other trainers evaluate the horse girls. With his foresight, he is very clear about the abilities of the horse girls. Moreover, the team has now tried to build a theory using the "new bloodline" research. Once this theory is formed, it will be able to discover the potential of the horse girls earlier.

So if she does enough basic training in advance while Roman Oguri has not yet become an authentic character, and once she becomes an authentic character, her abilities will undoubtedly be even stronger than in history, then there will be no need to use competitions for training.

However, in such cases, Kitahara usually emphasized this to trainers such as Komiyama and Yusuhara, and did not give a particularly detailed explanation to the horse girls, because the horse girls in the team were all obedient and well-behaved types, and usually completed training and competition arrangements seriously, without any particularly entangled situations.

...But at the moment, perhaps it is necessary to talk to them. Xiao Haiwan and Xiao Te just came back a little worried, probably because they are confused about the difference between their opponents and their own situations.

Thinking of this, Beiyuan was about to explain when he was suddenly interrupted by a rhythmic laugh.

“Ha-ha~haha! Only pedantic and mediocre people would worry about not fitting in. A true king always walks alone!”

Unlike Uma Musume from the Eternal Team and Special Week, Good Opera's appetite was not that big. After finishing her meal early, she was now elegantly holding a cup of black tea and eating a piece of matcha mousse cake.

She said something to Te Bie Zhou in a chanting voice, and then, in the surprised eyes of the crowd, the horse racing girl sipped her tea leisurely and said slowly:

"It's sad. Why do we have to assume that fate has arranged everything for us? Why does sticking to one's own path become a sinful idea?"

"Lost little Te, let me tell you the truth."

“Close your eyes, because your eyes can only tell you the truth, but the truth is not what you want to see. In the darkness, your eyes will penetrate the falsehood of the facts and see the truth.”

"…" What an opera! These operatic lines stunned the horse racing girls for a moment, and then, Te Te Zhou smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, well... that's what a good opera is usually like. If you don't understand what she's saying, uh, it's okay..."

After explaining for the good opera, she smiled bitterly and spread her hands, "Because I have known her for a while, and I often don't understand what she says..."

"Oh, I see. But I think this kid is very interesting."

Xiaolimao was the first to react. She nodded and looked at Kitahara, "But I really didn't understand what she said. Kitahara, did you understand?"

Hearing this, Kitahara looked at Ogurtica, then at Good Opera, and smiled when he saw how calm she was amidst all the strange looks.

"I can't say whether I understand or not, but if I'm not mistaken, what she just said should be a line from an opera."

"The general idea is that different horse girls have different destinies, or are good at different training and competitions. If you observe carefully, you can discover the differences and find the path that suits you."

“That’s what it literally means.”

As soon as Kitahara finished speaking, Good Opera's eyes lit up.

"Oh! So you like opera, too, uncle. Ha-ha! I underestimated you. I thought you were a staid old-fashioned uncle who didn't understand romance!"

After a rhythmic laugh, she began to explain with a little excitement.

"It's a line from The Phantom Of The Opera. Andrew Lloyd Webbe is a playwright I like very much. He fully grasped the spirit of stage plays in Shakespeare's time and was deeply influenced by Victorian opera. His works are full of classical elegance and depth."

"His knowledge of classical drama is world-class. Although he loves the works of modern serious writers, his own works are not difficult or profound. Instead, they are very popular and accessible to the general public."

"Ha-ha~haha! I knew I wouldn't be the only one who understands the charm of this master and opera. Uncle, I'm very optimistic about you!"

...Wait, I didn't say anything just now...

Looking at the enthusiastic appearance of the good opera, Kitahara smiled bitterly and grinned.

"...Well, thank you for your consideration. Besides, what you said does make sense."

This recognition made Good Opera laugh once again with its signature rhythmic laughter. Kitahara also laughed, then turned to look at Oguruma and the others and said seriously:

"Perhaps you are all a little concerned about the training arrangements of other horse girls, but in fact, as Good Opera just said, horse girls do not necessarily need to follow the same path, so it is natural that there are differences in training and competition."

"This is also my oversight. I only discussed it with Xiao Gongshan and the others before, and did not explain it to you in detail. It's a good opportunity to explain it to you now."

He pondered and said, "It is undeniable that with the current average training level, if you want to improve your strength as quickly as possible, participating in more competitions is a good choice."

"The experience gained in the race is essentially irreplaceable. The timing, details, and skills of starting, changing lanes, cruising, cornering, and accelerating can help you grow more if you experience them in the race."

"But there is a premise for all this, that is, there is a clear gap between training status and competition status."

"Is there a clear gap?" Ogurumao, Xiaohaiwan and Aldan had been listening attentively when Kitahara first opened his mouth, and now they were all puzzled at the same time.

Having been in Eternal World for so long, they were very familiar with Bei Yuan's way of speaking, so they knew that he was getting to the point.

Seeing the three of them like this, the other horse racing ladies couldn't help but stop their conversations or actions and listened carefully.

"Yeah, the gap."

Nodding and repeating, Kitahara said, "To put it simply, it's a question of whether the training is similar to the game."

"The more the training is like a game, such as having the same intensity, environment, opponents and other details as a game, then your usual training will be almost the same as a game. When you actually play in the game, you will have better results in both performance and post-game experience."

"Most horse girls and trainers would choose to participate in more competitions because most of the training and competitions are too far apart."

"Except for Eternal Life and Beyond, other aspects of training are basically one-on-one. It takes a lot of thought and time to find some horse girls to run side by side, which makes the training environment and competition very different."

"You have also had experience training alone, so you should be able to feel that there is a huge difference between running alone and running with a companion, right?"

"Kitahara is right, the difference is huge."

Xiao Limao nodded first, "When I run by myself, it feels very easy. I can run however I want, and sometimes I even neglect some technical details."

"When I run with others, I become more nervous and can immediately notice details that I wouldn't notice when I run by myself. I feel the effect is very good."

Although Xiao Haiwan and Aldan didn't say anything, they nodded in agreement after Xiao Limao finished speaking.

“That’s it. Just the fact that we can have so many horse girls running together gives us a training team that is hard to match with a one-on-one.”

Kitahara nodded and said, "There are five horse girls in our team, and their abilities can be said to be top-notch without exaggeration."

"Five players may seem a little small, but there are official competitions with such a small number of players."

“Plus, Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine often come on the field to put pressure on you, and the friends brought by Huang Jincheng are all active horse girls, so in fact, most of the parallel runs in your training are comparable to the numbers in a competition.” “When Xiao Xiaoli grows up and other horse girls join in, every daily parallel run within the team can be regarded as a competition. Even if it is not exactly the same, the competitive feeling it gives you is not much different from that of a real competition.”

"In this case, there is actually no need to participate in competitions frequently. Just focus on the most important competitions."

Hearing that he was mentioned, and seeing that Kitahara had come to a halt, Oguri Roman spoke up:

"Yeah, I will practice hard and I will definitely be able to help my sisters!"

After nodding vigorously, she thought about it again and said with some joy: "Also, Uncle Kitahara mentioned that other horse girls will join. Some classmates have already asked me about the assessment situation here."

When these words came out, Beiyuan couldn't help but be stunned at first, but then he became happy.

"Oh? Really? Which classmates, Xiao Xiaoli, can you tell me?"

He had originally thought about communicating with the horse racing ladies from later sessions when the time was right to see if there was any chance to expand the membership.

After sorting out the plans for the next six months and the coming year some time ago, he handed the plan to Akikawa Yayoi and Ludo Symbol. Although they have not given a clear reply yet, they both suggested that he could consider recruiting the next few horse girls.

According to the academy's top executives such as Akikawa Yayoi and Rudo, it is generally not recommended for trainers to recruit too many horse girls. After all, human energy is limited, and once there are too many horse girls, it is easy to lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.

But Kitahara's side is different from the general situation. Akikawa Yayoi and others recognize his ability, and Yongshi is a team. The training strength is far beyond the reach of a single trainer, and he has enough ability to teach multiple horse girls.

Even if they are in the same team, Yongshi's establishment time, experience, business philosophy, resources, etc. are extremely advanced, which is also the premise for recruiting more horse girls.

Kitahara himself had that idea, and Akikawa Yayoi and the others also agreed with it. Now that Oguri Roman mentioned that there was a horse girl asking about the team's assessment, it was natural that she was planning to join the team, and she must not miss it.

"Let me think about it. Actually, quite a lot of people have asked me this question. Basically, the whole class and the class next door have asked me this question..."

Oguri Roman thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "But the ones who asked the most questions are Narita Shirahito and Kicho."

Narita Shirahito and the gas tank?
Kitahara was stunned for a moment.

Because when Narita Shirahito specifically asked him for an autograph, he felt that the other party should be interested in the Eternal Team, so it was not surprising that he would ask Oguri Roman privately.

Especially since Narita Shirahito and Oguri Roman are of the same age and are in the same class. And if Kitahara's guess is correct, the former is actually a bit timid and his usual cold attitude is probably a disguise. It just so happens that the latter has a similar personality, so these two horse girls may have a good relationship.

As for the gas tank, he really didn't expect it.

This horse girl has a real reputation as an "Empress" in history. Before the era when her prototype horse was active, Japanese public opinion has always believed that "mares are not as good as stallions", just like the short-sighted statement that "reed-haired horses cannot run fast".

It was in this context of public opinion that after winning the "Oaks Stakes", one of the Mares Triple Crown, the Qicao camp chose to participate in the then-current "Autumn Triple Crown".

The "Autumn Triple Crown" refers to the three G1 events of the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Ceremony, the Japan Cup and the Arima Kinen, which are only one month apart from each other and are all middle and long distance races, with each one longer than the other.

Emperor's Autumn Viewing Race 2000m, Japan Cup 2400m, Arima Kinen 2500m.

This kind of schedule puts an exaggerated physical strain on racehorses. In terms of intensity, it is even more difficult to win the "Autumn Triple Crown" than the "Classic Triple Crown" of the Satsuki Sho, Japan Derby, and Kikuka Sho. After all, the intervals between the last three races are long enough and there is ample preparation time.

In another timeline, after the Japanese horse racing system was reformed and the "Autumn Triple Crown" appeared, only two horses have won the Autumn Triple Crown. One of them is Good Opera who is sitting at the dining table now, and the other is Desert Hero.

Among them, Good Opera is the only horse ridden by a Japanese rider to win the "Autumn Triple Crown", and that rider is naturally Ryuji Wada.

In contrast, the legendary Ludo Symbol was defeated in the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Competition, Tamamo Cross, known as the "White Lightning", won the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Competition but lost in the Japan Cup and Arima Kinen, and Kitamoto Genju also lost in the Japan Cup when he challenged the "Autumn Triple Crowns". This shows how difficult the "Autumn Triple Crowns" are.

Although Chicao failed to win the honor of the "Autumn Triple Crown", she won the first, second and third places in the Emperor's Autumn Viewing, Japan Cup and Arima Kinen respectively in that era when it was generally recognized that "mares are not good" and there was still a big gap between Japanese horses and international levels.

At that Emperor's Autumn Viewing Parade, among the 18 participating horses, Qigou was the only mare. Therefore, the news that she stood out from the battle with 17 stallions directly shocked the entire Japanese horse racing community.

After that battle, the inherent idea in Japanese public opinion that "there is an absolute gap in strength between stallions and mares in the middle and long distance battles" was completely shattered.

Of course, it is quite interesting that such a short-lived concept was later dragged out and flogged by Yamato Akagi and Vodka, who were known as the "two heroes of the world", as well as later "sisters among horses" such as the noble lady and Xingmu.

"... I can still understand Narita Shirahito. She came to ask for my autograph during the orientation ceremony. It seems that she didn't ask me how I joined Eternal World. Was it because she was embarrassed? Or was she a little timid?"

Kitahara made a thoughtful guess and said, "As for the gas tank... I remember she should be younger than you, Xiao Xiaoli. Is she considering debuting now?"

"Eh? Bai Ren-san is a coward? Uncle Kitahara, how could you have such an idea?"

Xiaoli Roman was stunned at first, "I feel like she should be very brave. Usually in class, she doesn't care about anything. I feel like this kind of personality can't be considered timid..."

After struggling for a moment, she nodded again, "Junior sister Qicao told me that she is already looking for an outstanding trainer."

"Although she is younger than me, she looks much more mature than me."

"I also asked her why she was so anxious, and she said it was not an emergency, it was foresight."

"She said her mother was a very good horse girl, and so was her sister."

"They have won the Oaks Championship and have trained many outstanding juniors. She hopes to become a horse racing girl like her mother and sister."

"So if this is her goal, she has to start working hard from now on."

...We can learn more about Narita Shirahito's personality after meeting him, but as for the situation of his parents, this...

Beiyuan was speechless for a moment, because the timelines of the two worlds gave him a magical feeling.

Historically, the mother of Qizou was Dana Carr, who also won the Oaks Championship.

But the problem is that when Dynacar was active, it was the era when Chiaki was the representative, Ludo was the symbol, and Katsuragi's ace.

Dynacarl fought against Representative Chiaki and Ace Katsuragi at the Daily Crown, and later at the Arima Kinen, all four of them gathered together.

Then these events in this timeline are obviously completely different from the other, otherwise if Dana Carl and Qianming represent them as being the same age, it would be too strange to have a daughter with such a big gas tank.

It's impossible that she got married and had children before participating in the "Female Triple Crown". That would be even more strange.

Not only is the mother different from the parallel dimension, the father must be different too, because in the other world, Qi Cao's father is the famous horse "Tony Bin" of the Arc de Triomphe, which is "Tony Bianca" in this world.

According to the timeline, "Tony Bing" won the Arc de Triomphe this year, and "Tony Bianca" is not only a horse racing girl, but also has to wait a few months before participating in this Arc de Triomphe. It is impossible for her to have a "father-daughter relationship" with Qi Trough.

…How should I put it? The timeline of Umamusume’s worldview is uniquely chaotic, and you have to appreciate it…

With emotion, Kitahara smiled bitterly to himself, and at the same time thought of an interesting thing.

If we follow the many parallel correspondences we have seen in the past, such as the Mejiro family, the Rudo symbol and the East Sea Emperor, then maybe although Qi Cao's mother and father in this world have changed, he is still connected to Dynacar. For example, the "Qi Cao's sister" that Xiao Xiaoli just mentioned is most likely Dynacar.

Then, Toni Bianca will definitely come to the Japan Cup this year, so before that, wouldn’t it be interesting to communicate with Qi Cao, build a good relationship with her, and take her to meet her "father in another world"?

As interesting as the symbol of the Emperor of the East Sea and Luduo...?
Although his attention was distracted for a moment by the two horse girls mentioned by Roman Oguri, Kitahara did not forget what he was talking about at the beginning and quickly came back to his senses.

"I went a little off topic just now, but...it doesn't really count."

After saying this ambiguously, Kitahara immediately looked at Oguri and the others and added, "In fact, the fact that Oguri met Narita Shirahito and Qi Cao to ask about the Eternal Team proves that what I just said is correct."

"That is, our Eternal Team has unique advantages in training and competition."

“The most obvious thing is that several top-level horse girls run side by side on a daily basis to adapt to the competition environment in advance. In addition, there are many other training details.”

"For example, the abilities you each learned can be learned from each other, such as Arc Artist, Waltz on the Field, Lightning Steps, etc. You may not be able to master all of them, but mastering more will obviously give you more advantages when facing other horse girls."

“The same is true for the field.”

Having said that, he looked specifically at the Super Cove and Mejiro Aldan.

"The two of you have focused your efforts over the past few days on mastering your respective fields with the assistance of Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine."

"However, from the analysis of various data obtained so far, it can be seen that you have indeed entered the same state as Oguruma, Tama, and Inari, but there are still some differences."

"This difference is probably the difference between mastering it in training and mastering it in a game."

"The field status data of Oguruma and the other three are very consistent with the past data. The data of the two of you is more similar to that of Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine, which means..."

Kitahara's eyes began to sparkle with excitement, "My previous guess is very likely correct. Through different types of training, horse girls can master more areas."

This can be said to be a pleasant surprise. He had made such a guess before, but he did not expect to have clear evidence so soon.

Just as he said, with the assistance of Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine's parallel running, as well as the help of various auxiliary equipment within the team, Super Cove and Mejiro Aldan successfully touched the territory.

The ability data displayed in the training games showed that the way they improved their fields was more like that of the other two horse girls than their own.

This means that the view that the entire horse girl community originally believed that "a horse girl can only have one field" was completely limited by conditions and failed to grasp the essence.

In fact, Uma Musume’s “field”, like running style, skills, and tactics, can also be “learned”, or “inherited” like in the game.

Of course, how this kind of "inheritance" can be normalized in daily training still needs further research.

For example, the situations of Xiao Haiwan and Aldan are somewhat special. They have spent a lot of time and deliberately pursued their fields in competitions. They are just one step away from reaching this threshold. Whether this state is a prerequisite for "inheriting" the fields of other horse girls still requires some research.

In addition to these, there are many other details, but no matter whether it is the assumptions or other details, Kitahara is confident that with the efforts of the entire team, this originally "domain belonging to the three goddesses" will be completely transformed into an existence that can be studied and mastered by humans.

“So, we are able to run together and learn from each other, even in different fields. This is definitely the most advanced state in the entire Japanese horse racing girl industry, and even the whole world!”

At this point, Beiyuan couldn't help but get a little excited, but he quickly calmed down and continued:
"Then, now that the five of you have touched the realm, in the subsequent practice, I will teach you how to actively trigger it and turn it into an 'active skill'."

"These will be interspersed with regular training, such as 'super-high-speed lane change' exercises. Komiya and the others will arrange it."

He and his team members had mentioned the idea of ​​active triggering before. Although the term "active skill" was mentioned for the first time, it was not difficult to understand. It is self-explanatory.

So when they heard his order, Little Chestnut Hat, Little Bay, and Aldan all nodded, "Understood!"

Next, Kitahara has one more thing to mention. This matter is not only the advantage of his own team, but also a task that requires the cooperation of Oguruma and others.

He originally wanted to explain it himself, but then he changed his mind and handed the topic over to Xin Xin Guanghui who had been listening with a smile on his face.

"Finally, it's about technical advantages. Although I know the situation in this regard, if I really want to say it, our team's chief technician still knows it best."

"It just so happens that she has come up with some 'black technology' based on your previous training and competition. If you can successfully come up with a finished product before the Japan Derby, you will be more confident in the competition."

"So, Kouki, you asked before how you wanted Oguruma and the others to cooperate. You can talk to them directly about it."

"…Eh? No, didn't we agree that you would tell the story, Kitahara-san? Why are you pushing it to me…?"

Being mentioned suddenly, Xin Xin Guang Hui was a little dazed. She was not very good at talking like Kitahara. In the team, she spent most of her time doing her job silently and providing the best preparation for Oguruma and the others' competition equipment.

But she felt like she was being forced into something, and seeing that Xiao Limao and the others were looking at her, she scratched her cheek shyly, bit her lower lip, and spoke sheepishly.

"I, I feel like I didn't do anything. I, I just tried to upgrade your victory server, and then I tried it, and then... I found out that I could actually do it..."

"I originally thought that since it was the winning suit chosen by the Three Goddesses, it couldn't be upgraded or improved..."

After saying a few words shyly, she took a deep breath and spoke after thinking for a while.

"I originally thought that the winning suit could not be changed, but your practice of 'accelerating and changing speeds while turning without slowing down' gave me inspiration, so I tried to focus on this point and think about improving the shoes to see if I can improve your running experience."

"I thought of three aspects of technology, all of which I have learned before. Of course, some of them were learned in class, and some of them I learned on my own."

"The main ones are the full-length nitrogen technology, the midfoot booster, and the spike-like grip outsole. The general ideas are the same as the conventional ones, but I have improved each one."

“First, the midsole will bend thousands of times during running, so we readjusted the nitrogen formula to focus on enhancing the tear resistance and greatly increase the service life.

"At the same time, I reduced the heel-to-heel difference from the conventional 8mm to 6mm, and the energy return rate is as high as 82%, which is more suitable for forefoot racing."

“Next is the mid-foot booster in the field. As an important part of the ‘speed-up and speed-change technology’, I mainly improve the intensity of this.

"I optimized the angle of the nylon plate, keeping it as far away from the ground as possible to reduce the wear and tear of road debris. In addition, I also adjusted the shape to increase the visible area of ​​the side of the shoe by about 3%. I thought that this would make the transition smoother and speed up effortless.

"The last part is the outsole upgrade. Specifically, the area of ​​the imitation spike grip pattern is increased and arranged at the force point on the inside of the forefoot."

"In this way, you can push off the ground with confidence even when cornering at high speed, and avoid the problem of slowing down in the corner as much as possible, so as to maintain the running rhythm."

“In addition to these, I also considered retaining breathability and tried to provide 3D support inside.”

"Through the weaving process of different densities, precise ventilation is achieved in key areas of the foot."

"That's the general idea. From now on, I'll need your cooperation, Xiaolimao. I need some more detailed data."

9k837…If I had written it earlier, 1w would not be a problem, but I estimated the time wrong, and it took me a lot of time to look up information. This is the only way I can do to meet the deadline.
