Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 176 Will you be nervous because of the gap with the world? (1w)

The first destination of the “European Tour” is Surrey, England, which is located southwest of London and adjacent to the Thames.

The take-off was at 10 o'clock last night. There is no airport in Surrey, but Staines in the northernmost part is adjacent to Heathrow Airport, one of the largest and most important international airports in the UK.

It takes 10 hours to get from Tokyo Narita Airport to Heathrow Airport. Japan time is almost 10 hours ahead of UK time, which means it is 6 a.m. the next day in Tokyo time and 10 p.m. in UK time.

During the 10 hours on the plane, only Sirius, who had been excited about flying the plane all night, went to sleep. Another pilot was now flying the plane.

Most of the trainers and horse girls slept all the way because of the jet lag. Now in the cabin, everyone was talking excitedly about their upcoming arrival in Surrey.

To be more precise, it was the trainers and horse racing ladies, most of whom had never been to the UK, or even been abroad, who questioned Tarou Yusuhara, who had studied in the UK, and Kitahara, who "for some reason" knew a lot about foreign countries.

"Surrey is one of the richest counties in the UK."

Yusuhara was the first to speak, and he said with a look of nostalgia:
"I just happened to be here once last year, when I followed my mentor to participate in Tony Bianca's treatment."

Toni Bianca is the most outstanding horse racing girl of this generation in Italy. After winning the title of "Italian Horse Racing Girl of the Year" last year, she has moved to various European countries.

During the flight to the UK, she suffered some psychological effects due to a sudden storm encountered by the plane. For this reason, many teams and experts from Europe went to assist her, including Yusuhara's mentor.

"Surrey is very industrialized compared to the rest of the UK, and has a large area of ​​vegetation, lakes and rivers, making it a very livable place."

Yusuhara continued:
“It has a long history and many famous attractions, such as the Hampton Court Palace of the British royal family.”

"The comfortable environment, coupled with its history and identity, has attracted many wealthy people from the UK and around the world to gather here. Even if they don't settle here, they still have businesses."

"It's getting late now, so you can't see much. If it were daytime, you would be able to see endless fields and various classical villas or manors from the window."

As he spoke, he pointed to the window on the cabin wall. It was pitch black there, with only some lights visible from a long distance away.

The horse racing girls all looked over curiously. Some of them, like Golden Ship and Good Opera, were so curious that they had already rushed to the windows and were looking out with their faces pressed against them.

Seeing this, Yuhara smiled.

"I'm telling you there's nothing to see right now. If you want to go sightseeing, wait until tomorrow. You guys should adjust to the time difference tonight."

Hearing this, Golden Ship and Good Opera kept looking out the window, and Meng Zhulv, who was very attached to his bed, felt a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Yuhara, do you think the beds at Yesen Academy will be uncomfortable to sleep on?"

As if she was already feeling uncomfortable, she twisted her body in her seat and pulled her ears, "If the bed there is weird, I won't be able to sleep."

The "Yesen" mentioned in the dream journey is exactly where the group is going. The British campus of the European Teresin Joint College is in Yesen, Surrey.

"It shouldn't be a problem. If it's Yesentreson College, the conditions won't be bad."

It was Kitahara who responded to the dream journey. He thought for a moment and comforted:
"Unlike Teresin College in Japan, the best college in Japan is naturally Central College, but here in Europe there are many colleges with the same educational conditions."

"The conditions at the Teresin campuses in countries such as the UK, Germany, France, and Italy are no worse than those at Japan's Chuo College."

"Generally speaking, the modern horse racing girls in these European countries emerged very early, and the earliest can be traced back to the 18th century."

"Correspondingly, the Teresen Colleges of various countries will choose places with a long history."

"Yesen College is like this. It has the world's earliest modern competition venue, and the college was also one of the earliest to be established."

"In this case, Yesen Academy has a lot of experience in hosting horse girls from all over the world, and they should be able to take the issue of adaptability into consideration."

"If I remember correctly, Yuhara, you followed your instructor here last time, right? And Sirius Symbol came to England a few years ago to participate in the King's Diamond Championship, and he should have been preparing here as well."

The Sirius symbol was still sleeping on the other side of the cabin, so Kitahara looked at Yusuhara and asked:
"The facilities should be okay, right?"

"The conditions are definitely fine."

Yuhara nodded, "As I mentioned earlier, those who live in Surrey County are usually either rich or noble. As the most famous stadium and academy in the world, Yesen Stadium and Yesen Academy often have distinguished guests visiting."

“For example, every year during the British Derby, even Queen Elizabeth II would come to Epsom to watch the race.”

"In addition to resting at Hampton Court Palace, the Queen sometimes goes to Epsom College."

"A place that can host the Queen can't possibly be bad."

These remarks were originally meant to comfort Yume Journey, but when the "British Derby" was mentioned, all the horse racing girls' interest shifted to the race.

"Oh, the British Derby. I wonder if I can win against the British Derby horse girl."

The one who said this was naturally Oguruma, who had just won the Japanese derby. She looked out the window excitedly, and then looked at Kitahara with anticipation.

Not only her, but the other horse girls also moved their ears and turned their eyes, revealing curious expressions.

"Well... to be honest, I can't judge."

Facing everyone's gaze, Bei Yuan thought for a while and said calmly:
"The influence of the Japanese derby around the world is different from that of derby events in European countries."

"And here in Europe, the evaluation of Uma Musume competitions is not based on a certain competition in a certain country."

“These are completely different from the situation in Japan.”

"It's common here to win a derby in a certain country and then not perform well in subsequent events, or to fail to win a derby in your own country but win a series of world-class events in Europe."

"Of course, there are also situations where you can win the domestic derby and then show your talents in the world competitions at the same time."

"Let me give you a simple example."

He thought about it again.

"The competitive careers of two horse girls, Commodore Glee and Waterwheel Reef, are a perfect example of what I just said."

"Commodore Glee has won 18 of his 17 career races and one second place. He won all four of his races that year, including the G1 Central Park Stakes, and was more than two lengths ahead of the second place on average."

"In theory, such a racehorse girl has a good chance of participating in the British Derby, but her trainer thought she was not adaptable to long distances, so after winning the 2000 Guineas, she chose to race over miles in the four races."

"As a result, Waterwheel Reef won the Epsom Derby, the Eclipse, the King's Stakes and the Arc de Triomphe in succession. Coincidentally, she was also two lengths ahead of the second place on average."

"The record of the horse girl Shuiche Jiaoshi is no less than that of Brigadier General Gley. She won 14 championships and 12 runner-ups in 2 battles."

"You say, given their strength, is there a big difference between having the Yesen Derby or not?"

Beiyuan spread his hands and continued:

"And even though Commodore Gray and Waterwheel Rock faced off in the 2000 Guineas, the latter lost by three lengths."

"But if we follow what the former trainer said, Brigadier General Grey seems to have an advantage in the mile race, then it is hard to say who is stronger or weaker."

"Plus, both of them had WUR scores that year that exceeded the upper limit of 141 points, and when Brigadier General Gle was awarded the European Representative Horse Girl of the Year, he was elected unanimously, just like Yuuwu last year."

"Their fans have been arguing for so many years, and there is still no certainty."

"Oh, yes, there was also the horse girl My Swallow. She, together with Commodore Grey and Waterwheel Reef, swept across Europe. With them in the competition, other horse girls had no chance."

"So, whether it's the UK or Europe as a whole, the competition situation is much more complicated than Japan. Oguruma, you just asked me whether I'm strong or not, and I really can't give you an answer right away."

This explanation made most of the horse girls think deeply, even Oguruma.

Although she is not good at theoretical learning, she can understand many things at once when it comes to competition and actual combat.

"I see... It seems like we can't come here to compete based on Japan's experience..."

She scratched her head, thoughtfully.

"Well, Kitahara is right, and your summary just now is also very good, Oguruma."

Luduo symbolized this by speaking, with a hint of education in her tone.

"To put it more bluntly, it's because the entire Japanese horse racing girl community lags behind the rest of the world."

"If you compare it to the UK, France or Italy, one country at a time, there are still some players among us who can compete with them."

"If we really compare your abilities in all aspects, you are not necessarily the loser, Oguruma."

Looking at Xiao Limao and affirmingly speaking, Luduo changed the subject.

“But that’s not how world-class competition is viewed.”

"On the one hand, when you step onto the competition field here, you will not be facing the horse girls from a certain country, but the best in the world."

"By then, your companion will also become such an opponent. In other words, if your companion is not strong enough, he or she will not be able to play with you at all."

"On the other hand, the strength I just mentioned about Oguruma is actually just paper strength, which means speed, endurance, and strength."

"But these will definitely be discounted when they are put on the international stage."

As she spoke, she looked out the window.

"For example, in the Epsom derby, many situations in this game were things we had never seen before."

"The Japanese race schedule is divided into root distance and non-root distance. The former is a multiple of 400 meters, and the latter is not. But in any case, the total distance is an integer."

"The Epsom derby has a very strange length of 2423 x 1 metres, which is strange for us. For Europe, this length is very standard, '14 mile, 10 yards, yards'."

“In addition to the schedule, the venue is also different.”

“The Epsom stadium is not the common ‘0’-shaped stadium, but a rare ‘U’-shaped stadium.”

“The finish line is very close to the spectator stands, but the starting point is about 500 meters away on the other side.”

“It’s not a straight line from the starting point, but a slightly curved curve, followed by a straight line.”

"Next is a big bend with a radius of nearly 300 meters."

"After the big bend, it's a straight line, but the distance is about 1000 meters. I guess you haven't run on a track like this before?"

After Luduo used symbolic gestures to explain the situation at the Yesen racecourse, all the horse girls were a little confused, except for the trainers who knew about the situation.

Seeing this, Luduo smiled and shook his head.

"Look, you're already confused just by the schedule. If you really want to run, I'm afraid it will take some time to get used to even how to start."

"In addition to the schedule, there are also conditions such as the venue and weather."

"Japan has a typical temperate oceanic monsoon climate, with hot and rainy summers and cold and dry winters, and the four seasons are quite different."

"This climate results in very different conditions at the site during spring, summer, autumn and winter."

“For example, in spring and summer, the grass field is generally very comfortable to the touch, but the texture is relatively soft, and it becomes a heavy field when it rains.”

"On the contrary, in autumn and winter, the dryness and hardness of the grassland will be more obvious. For example, at the end of the year, the Arima Kinen event was called a grassland, but it actually looked more like mud. The grass stems and hard ground also made the kinetic energy feedback during running more obvious."

"The main venues in Europe have an obvious marine climate and no monsoon climate, which makes the playing fields here much softer in most cases."

"Once it rains, it becomes a rotten land."

"Not many of you have ever been to that kind of rotten land. If you really want to compare..."

After thinking for a while, Luduo looked at Oguruma and Inariichi symbolically.

“It’s a bit like a local mud track after a heavy rain. There are differences, of course, but it’s the same in that it requires a lot of strength to get out of the mud.”

Of course, all members of the Eternal Team were present in this European trip.

In addition, the Ludor symbol and the Sirius symbol are responsible for negotiating with the top leaders of the European Academy and being a guide and flying the plane respectively.

The rest are the horse racing girls who are more familiar with the team, including Zhou Tejia, Good Opera and the five horse racing girls of different sizes from the Golden Family.

Apart from these, there was also a great sense of communication and great shock.

The former came with the horse girl from the Huangjin family, while the latter came here at the special invitation of Dream Journey, after Luduo and Kitahara communicated and negotiated with their parents.

Just as the Dream Journey said, this horse girl with the nickname "Xiao Xiu" looked just like her nickname, very delicate and introverted. After getting on the plane, she kept shrinking in a corner, as if she wanted to hide herself. She only let out a surprised "ah" when she was asked, and there was no other movement.

Among these horse girls, only Oguruma and Inariichi mentioned above have experience in muddy fields.

"Although I don't quite understand the climate..."

Hearing Luduo's symbolic words, Little Chestnut Hat said thoughtfully: "But if you need strength, I should have it."

"So, if I compete in Europe, I actually have a great advantage?"

Not only her, but Inari Ichi was also excited.

"Yes, yes. When it comes to strength, neither Oguruma nor I are afraid of any opponent!"

She bent her arm and put her other hand on her bulging biceps. She was full of confidence. "I usually arm wrestle with Xiaoyu and the others, but they have never beaten me once!"

Tamamo Cross was originally listening to the explanation of Rudo's symbol with great interest, but when Inari suddenly compared herself to her in this way, she suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Hey! You idiot, you can just say that you have developed muscles and a simple mind, why do you have to compare us?!"

"Huh?! What do you mean by strong muscles but simple mind?! Do you want to compete again?!"

"What are you competing for? Who wants to..."

"Ha-ah...yeah, what kind of competition is this? It sounds interesting. Can I join in?"

The two horse girls had just begun their routine quarrel when a yawn was heard from the other end of the cabin.

The Sirius symbol should have been woken up, but he didn't look dissatisfied. Instead, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked over with a smile.

"Oh? It's you two little guys again. What are you competing for this time? Are you going to have a fight like before?"

He stepped on the sore spot of Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi, but the Sirius Symbol seemed not to notice at all, tilted his head, spread his hands, and joked:
"I really don't understand what's wrong with you two. Why do you always fight as soon as you meet..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the screaming Tamamo Cross.

"Damn it! You said I'm short again. I'm going to fight you!"

Waving his fists, Tamamo Cross shouted and rushed towards the Sirius Symbol. Facing the Tamamo Cross rushing towards him aggressively, the Sirius Symbol yawned again and stretched out his hand casually.

"Well, I was just joking, don't be so angry."

Relying on his height advantage, he pressed Tamamo Cross's head with one hand, holding her one meter away, letting her wave her fists at the air. Sirius said helplessly:
"I've told you so many times that it's useless to do this. It's useless."

"Damn it... Inari, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Come and help us beat her up! Hey... Inari, when did you come over...?"

"Don't worry about when I came here, just beat her up!"

"Okay! Beat her up!"

At some point, Inari Ichiya rushed over with an angry look on his face, and then...

Together with the Tamamo Cross, the Sirius symbol held down their heads with one hand each and waved their fists at the air from a distance of one meter.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!" X2.

"Ha-ah... Mudamuda, you two should stop wasting your energy."

The Sirius symbol held down the two little guys, and said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, I admit my mistake and apologize, isn't that enough? I'm wrong, okay?"

This kind of scene is actually not the first time that it has happened. The Sirius symbol is a person who speaks without restraint. After helping the Eternal Team, he has often accidentally called Tamamo Cross and Inari "little guys".

Therefore, whether now or in the academy or on the training ground, Kitahara and others have seen this kind of scene many times.

Seeing this, most people smiled helplessly, while those who liked excitement, such as the Zhongshan Celebration, the Golden Ship, and the Good Opera, started discussing about it with an attitude of watching the fun and not being afraid of trouble.

"Tama... No, Master Tamae, Master Inari, fighting an opponent taller than you is not that big."

Zhongshan Qingqing seemed to be very experienced. He took out a few dice and said, "Do you want to try long-range attack? They are loaded with lead."

"Two masters, try to cut her in the middle!"

The Golden Ship on the side was gesticulating in the air, sometimes punching, sometimes kicking. "Ha-hahaha! What a hearty fight! This scene is really worth singing a song about."

Having said that, Good Opera began to think very seriously, as if he was looking for a suitable opera repertoire.

"...Alas, you really are..."

Faced with the sudden chaos, Beiyuan just uttered half a sentence of helplessness, and Luduo, the symbol on the side, coughed twice and spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay Sirius, stop it."

As she spoke, she pointed to the cockpit and said, "You woke up just in time. It's your turn to pilot the final landing."

"Oh! That's right, that's why I set the alarm."

It was not known whether he was truly helpless or was just pretending to be helpless while enjoying it. While playing around with Tamamo Cross and Inari, Sirius showed a look of realization when he heard Rudor's symbolic words.

Then, she very skillfully used her left and right hands to make Tamamo Juji and Inari Ichi, who had been waving their fists in the air for a long time, suddenly lose their pace, stumble a few times, and finally bump into each other face to face.

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

“It hurts, it hurts! You, you damned thing…!”

"Well, I told you it's Mudamuda."

Taking the opportunity, he scurried towards the cab, then turned around childishly and made a face.

"Do you know why you can't beat me?"

"Military training that symbolizes home, kid."

"Didn't you just say we were competing in strength? Don't underestimate me, a veteran who has been to Europe. If we're just competing in strength, you're still a long way behind me!"

After saying that, she slipped into the cockpit and locked the door.

"Don't run...ah!" "Damn you...ouch!"

Tamamo Cross and Inariichi obviously did not expect that the Sirius symbol could have such an operation, and they were stopped outside the door without paying attention. Fortunately, they arrived just at the moment when the door closed, so they bumped into the door face to face again.

After all the noise, all the horse girls in the cockpit became much more energetic. Even after getting off the plane, the horse girls, big and small, were still talking excitedly.

The content of the discussions was different. For example, Tamamo Juji and Inari Ichi had been muttering about how to work together to deal with the Sirius Symbol, and at the same time they were trying to win over Oguruma, Kobayashi, and Aldan.

In the special week, I talked to the good opera about where to go to the opera house later.

This idea was naturally proposed by Good Opera. Zhou had been living with her mother in the countryside of Hokkaido. It was only after she went to Tokyo that she learned what an opera house was. Under the influence of Good Opera, she seemed to be quite interested in these things.

The topics of the Huangjin family's horse racing girls' conversations covered a wide range of topics.

The Golden Journey criticized the Sun Yat-sen Celebration and the heckling before the Golden Ship.

Dream Journey and All the Way were standing on either side, surrounding Dahanshen, who looked timid, and saying things like "I don't know if the bed is comfortable to sleep on" and "I wonder if there is a Umamusume here."

The trainers were also chatting about their own topics, and the topic here was naturally about training.

Things like the venue and climate just mentioned, as well as the adaptability inadvertently revealed by the horse racing ladies, are all things that are worthy of attention.

Naturally, two senior symbolists, Luduo and Sirius, also participated in such topics.

Luduo even talked to Kitahara about specific events.

"At present, although Oguruma and the others have a certain understanding of the differences between different competitions, venues, and opponents, but..."

She looked at Oguruma and the others who were chatting happily with some concern, "Obviously it's not enough."

"I don't want to put pressure on them, but having personally experienced international level competitions, I am very clear that there is still a big gap between our current strength and that of the international level."

"I think Sirius's feelings should be more obvious."

"...Hey, Luduo, there's a saying, the eldest sister doesn't talk about the second sister, right?"

Being called out, the Sirius symbol was somewhat helpless, and said directly: "Publicly or privately, you don't want to mention the retirement war in the United States."

"Then I don't want to mention coming to Europe for the competition either."

She spread her hands and said helplessly:
"Emperor's Diamond Trophy, I'm 8th."

"4th in the Baden race."

"Then the 6th."

“Third in the Royal Oak Stakes in France.”

"Then the Foy Stakes before the Arc de Triomphe was okay, and I got second place."

“But Arc de Triomphe couldn’t be more miserable, okay? 14th place. There were only 15 horse girls participating in the competition. 14th place, this…”

Although she looked helpless, she was honest and straightforward and still told everyone about her unbearable experience of the expedition one by one, and then started to complain.

"And let me tell you, I felt it was outrageous when we were dancing at the Arc de Triomphe, because we were very brave and we were both behind at the beginning."

"That Arc de Triomphe was a bit like this year's Japan Derby, it started very quickly and it was a complete war of attrition."

"I, Yongwu, and Bailing are all at the bottom of the list. The 11 horse girls in front of us are blocking the way tightly."

“Not only is it difficult to overtake in this situation, but it also takes a lot of physical energy to keep up with the pace.”

"Halfway through the race, I felt like I was running out of energy, and I thought the two guys next to me were running out of energy too."

"In the last 300 meters or so, Bailing suddenly rushed forward in one breath. I was stunned at the time."

"What's even more surprising is that Yongwu was able to surpass all her opponents in front of her in one go, including Bai Ling who started earlier than her."

"This kind of opponent is too terrifying. Even if you still say that to me after I return home, what can I do?"

Bering, mentioned in the Sirius symbol, is a French Derby horse girl. She is definitely not a weakling in terms of strength, and she is competing in the French arena, which she is more familiar with.

However, a Japanese Derby horse girl and a French Derby horse girl were directly crushed by Yongwu at the Arc de Triomphe, which shows the latter's dominance on the field.

"...I'm not blaming you, you...sigh."

Faced with the explanation of the symbol of Sirius, Luduo sighed, and then looked at Kitahara as if he didn't want to pay attention to her.

"I mean, in previous overseas expeditions, whether it was me, Sirius, the Speed ​​Symbol Senior, or Takeshiba-no-senpai, the preparation methods were all similar."

"It's only around the time of the competition that I consider going abroad, adapting, training, and competing."

"It's the first time for someone like you, Kitahara, to come here and try it out a year in advance, and then plan to spend half a year or even a year preparing for the competition."

“In theory, with such a long period of preparation, we should be able to achieve excellent results in international competitions here.”

"but……"

Unable to help but look at Sirius again, Luduo sighed: "You know the situation of those of us who have been on the expedition. There is nothing to say."

"Behind this result, in addition to the short preparation time, is the gap between us and the world-class horse girls."

"Take the Arc de Triomphe that Sirius just mentioned. Not to mention her, even if I were to take part, or any of the horse girls who have performed well in the Japanese arena in recent years, I'm afraid we wouldn't have any chance."

"A horse girl like Yuuwu is too strong. She is so strong that her opponents have no hope at all."

"The generation after her is also not weak, so..."

She looked at Kitahara with some worry, "How do you think we can make Oguruma and the others take us seriously?"

Beiyuan had been listening patiently when Luduo and Sirius spoke. Hearing this, he thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head.

"I think, Luduo, you may worry too much."

"…worry too much?"

Ludo was stunned.

"Well, look." Kitahara pointed at Oguruma and the others.

The plane landed at Heathrow Airport. Since it was a flight applied for separately through Japan and the Tresson College in the UK, after getting off the plane, the group did not take the regular exit, but went through a special channel and came to a separate lounge.

This is much more convenient. After all, the members of this trip include not only the most outstanding horse racing girls of the current generation in Japan, but also Oguruma, the horse racing girl who just won the Japanese Derby Championship, and a legend like Luduo.

Correspondingly, security checks are also arranged separately, and staff who have been waiting for a long time are already checking the luggage.

After the inspection, everyone will be guided by Yesen College to the college to stay for one night and then conduct corresponding visits and tours tomorrow.

While the staff was performing security checks, Oguruma and the others initially took advantage of the excitement they had brought from the plane to chat about various topics.

When Kitahara pointed his finger over there, they were already watching a TV in the lounge.

I don’t know who tuned the channel, or if the airport staff prepared it specially, but what was playing on TV was a replay of a game.

“…This game…”

Seeing the game and hearing the foreign language coming from inside, Luduo was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought, "Italian? An Italian game?"

As the student council president of Central Tresen College, it was inevitable for her to come into contact with people from various countries and horse girls. She had learned many languages ​​since she was a child, and Italian was one of them.

Kitahara used to be the head of a club and a company and had to interact with foreigners, so he has a basic understanding of various languages ​​and can understand some Italian.

He had just noticed the game on TV and heard what it was about.

“Premio Presidente della Repubblica, according to Japanese custom, can be called the San Marino Presidential Competition.”

Kitahara explained for Luduo and stared at the screen, his eyes gradually becoming serious, "G1, 2400 meters on grass."

"The other contestants are not important, what matters is that the contestant is Tony Bianca."

"The King of Italy?"

Luduo's eyes suddenly fixed.

Along with her voice, the commentary from the TV slowly came, and the commentary's tone was vaguely regretful.

"…She is as powerful as her reputation has claimed. Toni Bianca is worthy of being the top horse racing girl in Italy."

"But compared to the 10-length margin in the last race, she only won by four lengths this time. It seems she is still saving her strength for the Arc de Triomphe."

Similarly, there are the voices of the guests.

"Yes, before participating in the Arc de Triomphe last year, Tony Bianca fought too many matches in a row."

"It's really amazing that she participated in a G8 just eight days after her first match in the year of Guma, and she even participated in the San Marino Presidential Tournament five days later."

“Although we won three games in a row, it was a G3 and a G1 after all, and they were 2400 meters and 2000 meters, which was a huge load on the body.”

“Adding to the subsequent competitions, it can be said that before last year’s Arc de Triomphe, Tony Bianca was not necessarily in his best form.”

"She and her team have obviously learned from experience in this year's competition, and the workload was not as high."

“I think she will definitely give the world a surprise at this year’s Arc de Triomphe.”

As the commentary sounded, the screen showed a tall, indifferent-looking horse racing girl lying on the green grass.

She has the unique eye contour of an Italian horse racing girl, with big eyes and slightly drooping corners, which makes her look a little sad.

This sadness combined with her plump lips makes her look charming and amorous.

Matching this romantic temperament is her winning outfit that looks like an evening gown and a swordsman's outfit.

The classic European-style three-cornered hat is decorated with a long tail feather on the left side, a short jacket, a waist lining, and a long single-sided cape hanging on one side. The decorations on the hat, shell, and lining edges are all extremely simple.

Even more simple was the straight solid-color trousers and equally straight high boots on her lower body. This simplicity made her height of over 1.7 meters appear even taller.

Listening to the commentary and looking at the horse girl on the screen, Ludo symbolically muttered to himself.

"Is Tony Bianca's goal... this year's Arc de Triomphe Award?"

"Well, it won't be wrong."

Kitahara nodded slightly. "According to the guest, she attended the Arc de Triomphe last year in a tired state. Yusuhara also said that she delayed some training due to psychological problems."

“Under these circumstances, she was able to take second place in the Arc de Triomphe, and was only two lengths behind. This level of strength is already terrifying.”

"With such strength, I can't think of any reason why she wouldn't participate in this year's Arc de Triomphe."

Knowing the direction of history, he felt that the horse racing girl on TV would most likely win this year's Arc de Triomphe, just like in history.

However, he did not say much, but changed the subject.

"I told you to look over there, not because I wanted you to see Tony Bianca, but because I wanted you to see Chestnut Hat and the others."

"Little Chestnut Hat and the others?"

Lu Duo was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously shifted his gaze and quickly understood what Bei Yuan was talking about.

Little Chestnut didn't speak much English, let alone Italian, and Ludo was well aware of this.

Before the Gaoyue Award, she specifically shared an English sentence with Oguruma, and later mentioned it again when assisting with the Japanese derby training, but the other party still did not remember the pronunciation.

Not only Little Chestnut Hat, Luduo also knew that among the horse racing girls next to her, there were some who knew English, such as Tamamo Cross, Little Bay, Aldan, who usually had good grades, and Good Opera, who liked opera, but none of them knew Italian.

The language barrier did not affect their focus on the game. It was obvious that they had been concentrating ever since they noticed the TV.

They were all staring at the screen, watching the Italian champion walk slowly towards the podium and take his own championship trophy.

"You're right, Kitahara, I do worry too much."

After understanding it in an instant, Luduo symbol suddenly chuckled.

"It's just that I think they don't take it seriously enough, not that they really don't take it seriously."

"They just haven't seen the world's top horse racing girls in person. Once they see it, they will be full of fighting spirit like they are now without us saying anything."

"We have discussed this before. What we must do when we come here is to take them to the European competitions."

"Now it seems……"

There was a bit of complicated meaning in her smile, "It seems that they are already nervous before we even see them on the court."

"Maybe I'll have to comfort them later."

Kitahara knew that what Ludo said was true. Oguruma and the others were in high spirits, but their ears folded back showed that they were nervous and alert after watching Toni Bianca's match.

"As for the comfort, we'll see about it later."

Kitahara said it lightly, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "And maybe we don't have to wait until we see the competition. They might need comfort later."

Kitahara’s meaning was very simple. In a while, they would see members from Yesen Academy coming to pick them up, and there would be plenty of opportunities for Oguruma and the others to meet.

According to prior communication, the leader of the Yesen College team who came to the airport this time was not the student union president Yongwu.

As Beiyuan and others had learned before, Yongwu's current physical condition is still a little poor and he is not suitable for excessive movement. Most of the time, he is recuperating in the academy or sanatorium.

However, judging from the identity, Yesen College also gave enough face to Beiyuan, as the person who came was the chairman of the college.

Lifar is a strong man who has won 12 championships and 6 runner-up in 1 races in history. Similar to Akikawa Yayoi, this group of racehorses is more famous for their offspring than their achievements.

Simply put, in another world, Yongwu is Lifar's offspring.

Of course, this is not the case in this world. After meeting Lifar, Kitahara still feels that she looks like "mother and daughter" because of her similar brown hair and gradient eyes to Yongwu.
