Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 188 Tamamo's Little Classroom

The analysis of opponents such as Takarazuka Kinen and Akitsu Teikoku had actually been carried out for a long time during the preparation period, and special training on the corresponding running methods and tactics had also been done.

If the team follows previous arrangements, the discussions before the game will mainly focus on arranging some details.

With the addition of Emperor Donghai and Mejiro McQueen, the meeting slightly repeated some of the content introduced previously in order to let them better understand the team's arrangement habits.

"It's not that we don't need to take other opponents seriously, but because the Akitsu Emperor's running style is quite unique. Even though you, Xiaoyu, have excellent strength now, you may still fail if you are not careful."

After emphasizing this, Kitahara was about to explain further to the two "newcomers" when he suddenly had an idea.

"I have told you these things many times before. Xiaoyu, please try to repeat what we have mentioned before."

This arrangement stunned Tamamo Cross for a moment. Not only her, but also Oguruma and the others showed surprised expressions.

According to the old custom, matters concerning training and competition content are usually handled by trainers such as Kitahara, Komiyayama, and Yusuhara.

Before making the final decision, Oguruma and the others will also put forward some opinions based on their own feelings, but the overall arrangement is still the responsibility of the trainer.

In discussion meetings like the one now, they are usually the ones who give the explanations. It has never happened before that a horse girl like Tamamo Cross is asked to recount the events.

However, Kitahara believes that such an arrangement is necessary.

He thought of the "Feynman Learning Method" technique, and planned to use the help of the East Sea Emperor, Mejiro McQueen, and horse racing girls like Oguri Roman who had officially joined the team before, to improve Oguri Hat, Tamamo Cross and others' abilities in basic knowledge.

This decision was something he had just thought of. Seeing that the horse racing girls were puzzled by this, he thought about it and decided to explain it.

"It's indeed a bit abrupt. I mean, let Xiaoyu explain the arrangement of the game."

"However, I thought of the 'Feynman Learning Method' and hope to improve your abilities in this way."

"Feynman learning method?"

Tamamo Cross was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and asked in confusion: "What is that?"

Oguruma and Inariichi on the side also showed puzzled expressions, while Xiaohaiwan and Aldan were stunned for a while and then began to understand a little.

"That should be a technique to deepen your knowledge. I've seen it mentioned in some study materials before."

Thinking about it, Xiaowan looked at Tamamo Cross and explained with a smile, "The general meaning is that it seems to be telling another person the knowledge or memory you have mastered."

“This will make the knowledge you already have more solid.”

"Probably?"

She looked at Kitahara with a questioning expression.

"To put it simply, it's pretty much what Little Bay said."

Kitahara nodded and said, "Feynman is a physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics. He is one of the founders of quantum electrodynamics and the father of nanotechnology."

“He can be said to be one of the most intelligent people in modern times.”

“He created a method of learning, which was to explain the knowledge he had mastered to someone who had no idea about it, so that he could understand it more thoroughly and remember it more deeply.”

"This method is actually because sometimes even if we understand a certain knowledge, it is very likely that it is not as clear as we think."

"For example, we may only know the name of something and have some idea of ​​how it works, but we don't know the principles behind it."

"You can know and perform a lot of basic knowledge, skills, and abilities in your daily training and competitions."

"But if I really ask you how you run when you're leaving the gate or when you're turning, you can probably only give me a rough idea, right?"

"Exiting the gate and turning the corner are just... eh?"

Subconsciously wanting to answer, Tamamo Cross said halfway, and suddenly got stuck, "...It seems that it is really not that easy to describe."

"You guys are the only ones who know this kind of thing very well, right, Komiya-san?"

"If we train normally, can't we just follow the habits you taught us and mastered...?"

After getting stuck, she subconsciously looked to her trainer for help.

Komiya already understood Kitahara's meaning. She thought about it for a moment and responded to the Tamamo Cross with a smile.

"What Senior Brother just said should be that he hopes that Xiaoyu and you can teach the knowledge you have mastered to Xiaoxiaoli, Donghai Emperor, and Mejiro McQueen."

As she explained this, her eyes began to wander over the horse racing ladies.

"The so-called Feynman learning method is actually not complicated. My senior brother, Yusuhara, Kyoko, and Guanghui all do it on a regular basis."

"There are things we don't know about each other, including knowledge about trainers, medicine and technology." "When we have discussions, we have to explain things to others."

“When explaining, we will try to make the other party understand, but before that, we must first understand it more deeply.”

"In that way, in addition to helping the other party learn some new knowledge, the process itself will also improve our own level."

"If it were just you and the others, Xiaoyu, there would be no need to mention this method deliberately."

"But now we have Xiao Xiaoli, Di Wang, McQueen and others. After you learn and master the skills by yourselves, you can learn from them again and improve yourself."

"I think that's what Senior Brother is planning."

"So that's how it is. It's really not that complicated. I guess I was overthinking it."

After hearing Komiyayama's explanation and seeing Kitahara nod, Tamamo Cross smiled easily, "I thought you wanted to test me just now, so I was a little nervous."

"But there shouldn't be any problem just telling me what I know."

"Well, Xiao Xiaoli, Emperor, and McQueen, you better listen up, Tamamo's class is about to start!"

When Tamamo Cross was first mentioned, it was very easy, and the general idea was similar to what Kitahara and the others had analyzed before.

According to previous analysis, it is not that we do not need to pay attention to other opponents in this Takarazuka Kinen, but that the strength and running style of the Akitsu Emperor are too outstanding.

As the predecessor of all the horse girls in the Eternal Team, this horse girl herself has outstanding achievements, and her three G3 championships are the best proof of this.

Besides this, she has two characteristics that are very troublesome for Yongshi.

One is that the way she excels is running away, and no horse girl in the eternal world is particularly good at this kind of running.

This means that even if you have encountered similar situations in daily training or competitions, you may still be unable to adapt if you really want to avoid being led by these horse girls.

For example, in the exchange competition held in Yesen before, the reference point was like this.

The European horse racing girl's lead was actually a troublesome situation, but faced with even more troublesome conditions such as unfamiliar venue, special track and short preparation time, there was really no energy to deal with this kind of running alone.

According to past experience, at this time, one can only rely on the instinctive habits accumulated in daily life to ensure that one is not affected by the opponent on the court as much as possible.

This was also the usual preparation strategy of Tamamo Cross and the others in the past, and they have been practicing this way during this period.

However, another characteristic of Emperor Akitsu made the response during this period a little special.

This horse girl's lead will be exceptionally fast.

Generally speaking, in most stages of the race, leading the race does not consume the most endurance. This type of running requires you to do everything you can to lead the pace while maintaining your physical strength, otherwise it will be difficult to handle the finish line.

This is the case with all the horse girls that Tamamo Cross and the others have encountered in the past who are good at leading.

But judging from her performance in the competitions she has participated in, Akitsu Teikou has great endurance, and her leading style is very similar to that of Xiao Haiwan, and she will accelerate earlier than other leading horse girls.

Sometimes, she even starts sprinting in the middle of a race.

This extremely special sprinting method and corresponding ability, on the one hand, is a testament to her strength, but on the other hand, it can also put her opponents in trouble.

The sprint in the lead is different from that in other positions. Once you sprint in this position, if your opponent does not catch up by force, the distance difference will continue to widen, and it will be too late to catch up afterwards.

Trying to keep up by force means having to give up the rhythm that you are better at and run according to the opponent's rhythm, which is an unfavorable situation for any horse racing girl.

If you want to avoid this, you should try to adjust your rhythm during the pre-race preparation stage and find a rhythm that you can adapt to at high speeds.

Kitahara, Komiyama, Yusuhara and others had already made clear arrangements for these analyses and corresponding preparations, and Tamamo Cross and others did the same.

But at this moment, when Tamamo Cross spoke himself, it was obvious that he was forgetful and his logic was inconsistent from time to time.

Fortunately, this was Kitahara's original purpose. He hoped that these horse girls could relay and analyze running tactics by themselves, so as to improve their mental abilities.

"That's about it for now, Xiaoyu, thank you for your hard work."

When Tamamo Cross finished speaking with increasing difficulty, Kitahara smiled at her comfortingly, and after she sat down on the chair with a sense of relief, he looked at the other horse girls.

"It was indeed a bit of a spur-of-the-moment decision to let Xiaoyu explain the running tactics."

"But the ultimate goal is to hope that you can improve through this method in the future."

"It is also to provide Xiao Xiaoli, Di Wang, McQueen and others with more ways to learn."

"You know, after the Takarazuka Kinen and Takamatsunomiya Cup, you will have many companions to train with. At that time, it will be very important to learn from each other."
