Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 203: Enough of the trouble? (1w)

Along with the commentator's declaration, there was a sudden boiling cheer and the gates burst out together. Dozens of figures rushed out from the starting point and quickly formed a trend of leaning inwards.

This trend did not go straight to the inner lane close to the fence, but ended when it was almost close. The contestants chose to avoid the inner lane without any prior agreement.

The commentary also sounded just right.

“All the horse girls had a great start. This was probably due to the track and field conditions. No runner chose to run close to the inside lane. Instead, they ran close to where the grass was in better condition.”

When appropriate, the guest commentators also added relevant information.

“Although the terrain of the Zhongjing venue is mostly regular, the slope after the third turn still requires a lot of strength.”

"In addition, the Takamatsu Palace Cup is held during the rainy season, and it happened to rain a few days ago. Judging from the past and other competitions today, the race time and final foot speed of the horse racing ladies are slow."

"In this case, it is a wise choice to avoid the bad inner lane to save energy."

"The competitors in this race were very calm. Even though the competition was fierce at the beginning, no one got angry and tried to overtake in the inner lane."

Immediately afterwards, the commentator talked about the situation at the start of the game.

"The one in the lead is Swimming Bird. Her five consecutive wins have given her extraordinary momentum. She is also very good at leading the race and has already taken a lead of three lengths."

"The gap is still widening, and it looks like she intends to keep this lead throughout the race."

“There are no other leading players at the moment, so the competition for the leading position is more intense.”

"Weina, Milok and Cicci were in the same position, and there were many battles for position in the early stages. The intensity of this Takamatsunomiya Cup was much greater than expected before the game."

"Next up are the bad horse racing girls. Coincidentally, the most popular contestant, Yuzhouyu, and the second most popular contestant, Inariichi, both chose this position."

"In the Oaks Tournament, the player Cosmic Dream ran in the first position. Choosing a bad position now seems to be treating the player Inariichi as the strongest opponent in this competition."

"It's not hard to understand. Yongshi is the hottest team right now, and every horse girl in it is the top player of this generation."

"Inari has a record of 12 wins and 10 losses in 2 matches, and his consecutive match rate has reached an astonishing 100%."

"It is said that she and her teammates went to Europe to compete with world-class opponents. Judging from the performance of her teammate Tamamo Cross at the Takarazuka Kinen, her current strength can definitely be described as a step up."

"It's obvious that even the champion of the Oaks Tournament would never dare to underestimate an opponent of this level."

"Not only Yuzhoumeng, but also Gushui Comet, who had chosen to chase after many times before, has now given up his usual running method and joined the bad team."

"She followed closely behind Inari, and together with the Universe Dream player, she put pressure on Inari."

“I hope that Inari can withstand this kind of pressure and give us a wonderful performance.”

The competition among the teams on the track was as fierce as the commentator mentioned. In addition to the swimming birds leading the way, the following advance teams and delay teams were fighting for position all the time.

Being in the back row of competitors, Inari felt that this race would be more difficult than he had expected almost the moment he left the gate.

She was targeted by two opponents at the same time, one in front of her left and one behind her right.

This situation was taken into consideration in the pre-match analysis, but no matter how detailed the analysis is, it is still a pre-match forecast, and the actual situation is often difficult to be satisfactory.

Most of the previous predictions have mentioned that Yuzhou Meng is very likely to adopt a defensive tactic, trying to deliberately lure the target's rhythm, or even use a unique running method to lead the rhythm of the entire team in the leading position.

This has been vividly demonstrated in the Oak Competition, which has been repeatedly dismantled by the Yongshi team.

Inari was well aware that the opponent in front of him on the left approached the leading swimmer after leaving the gate, with the purpose of forcing it to escape at the rhythm he wanted.

Generally speaking, a horse girl who chooses to escape will take the initiative to speed up in the early stages, so as to gain enough advantages for subsequent stages and victory.

But there is also a game process involved. That is, when other horse girls threaten the leading position, the escaped horse must speed up again to maintain its competitive advantage.

The point of the game is whether the fleeing horse can judge in an instant whether the footsteps chasing behind are really trying to fight for the leading position, or are just pretending and only exhausting itself to a certain extent.

And for most runaway horses, the cost of betting that the other party is faking is too high.

If you allow the opponent to take the lead and he actually takes the lead, it would be equivalent to giving up the biggest advantage as a escape horse, and the chances of winning the game would become extremely slim.

So unlike what fans believe in common sense that "the escape horse just needs to run to the end in one breath", the pressure and thoughts in this position, especially in many details at the beginning, are much greater than those in other positions.

Yuzhou Meng used this kind of game to subtly control the rhythm of the game to a certain extent in the Oaks Tournament and the Takamatsunomiya Cup.

Just like her previous opponents, Youdongniao showed extremely high speed in the early stages, accelerating from the moment the commentator mentioned it, and only stabilized her speed after she had opened up a gap of 5 lengths with the second place.

Of course, this kind of game is risky for both parties.

For the escaping horse girl, the extra speed means extra expenditure of physical strength and entering a speed that she is not so good at. The adverse effects brought about by these conditions will require more time and energy to make adjustments before the final sprint.

For Yuzhou Meng, who fought hard at the beginning, the same loss will also be reflected on her.

She would never try to grab the leading position. The best proof of this is that she could easily take a disadvantageous position after her opponent accelerated. However, the switching between the fighting state and the normal cruising state would inevitably lead to losses in all aspects.

But no matter before or now, since this opponent has made this choice, it means that the price is completely acceptable to her.

The overall idea of ​​this situation was expected before the game.

But neither Kitahara and other trainers, nor Inari and other horse girls, had expected that after pretending to fight for the ball, Yuzhou Meng did not choose to go first as she usually did in previous games, but instead fell to the position of the worse row in one breath.

That is the front left of Inariichi.

Damn...big liar...

Staring at the back figure in front of her on the left, Inari gritted her teeth secretly. She vaguely felt that even though the other party did not look back from beginning to end, his attention was always on her.

She definitely stayed where she was now on purpose for her own sake, and she was sure that she was not being overly sentimental.

Inari admitted that she didn't have a good temper and her academic performance was not very good, but under the influence of many smart friends in the eternal world, she was not unfamiliar with analysis.

Taking advantage of the fact that the competition had just started, she was full of energy and her mind was clear, and she quickly gained a certain grasp of the situation.

It is only the early stages and the leaders have already opened up a big gap, which means a certain amount of physical exertion.

If the opponent is not an amazing escape genius, the 3.5-meter downhill slope, 2-meter steep slope, and slope section lasting about 200 meters at the Zhongjing Stadium will definitely intensify the physical exertion.

In other words, the opponent is likely to lose speed before the finish line, just like Cosmic Dream's opponent in the Oaks Tournament.

It is not impossible that a single mistake at the beginning could lead to a complete loss of the whole game.

Not only had there been a precedent for this in the Oaks Tournament, but Inari had also learned about escaped horses from a truly top escape genius.

The European reference point for the insanely sophisticated escape technique.

During the time in Europe, in addition to preparing for the exchange competition, the Yongshi team also talked a lot about race walking experience with the horse girls there after the competition.

It was naturally impossible to mention the core technology involved in the field, but the two horse girls still chatted happily about the conventional topics such as escape, first, difference and pursuit.

Inari remembered that the senior at the reference point once said jokingly that escaping was still a very distressing method.

You have to guard against your opponent catching up with you, and also avoid running too fast and losing energy too quickly.

Especially in the early stages of the game, you have to judge your opponent's intentions in every moment and make the most advantageous response in the blink of an eye. Just thinking about it will make you feel exhausted.

What is more important is to take timely remedial measures after making a wrong decision.

For example, if a game fails, you must retaliate immediately.

Simply put, since the opponent forces you to speed up and expend physical energy, you must immediately find a way to consume an equal amount of his physical energy.

Regardless of whether I win or not, you made me so tired, there is no reason for you to continue running easily.

Inari really couldn't be sure whether Reference Point was joking when he said that, but her intuition told her that the principle of equal replacement of physical strength was always correct.

However, even though she had just fallen behind, she could still sense through her long-trained ear perception ability that the opponent in front of her did not respond to the horse girl who forced her after being forced to speed up.

Yuzhoumeng didn't have to spend any energy at all to make the swimming bird speed up like a "frightened bird", while she herself leisurely slowed down and came to target another opponent.

Her targeting was not complicated. She was firmly "nailed" in front of Inari's left side. If this kind of defense continued, the latter would most likely not have a good chance to overtake before the final sprint.

It's easy to imagine that the ideal situation for this horse girl is to replicate her victory in the Oaks, quietly leading the pace of the entire game and then limiting the performance of the most noteworthy opponents from beginning to end.

As luck would have it, Yuzhou Meng obviously regarded Inariichi as the most noteworthy opponent, and the comet Tanimizu behind the latter's right obviously had the same idea.

Obviously, the team was running and chasing, but the game suddenly turned bad. The intention of this tactic was too simple, crude and obvious.

It happens to be very useful.

After all, no matter how calm a horse girl is, facing attacks from both front and back, the pressure is bound to be great, and Inari herself is not a calm horse girl at all.

What an annoying guy...

Inari gritted his teeth secretly again, and for a moment, he had the urge to surpass the past in one breath.

This was not difficult for her.

To surpass this kind of operation, it essentially depends on instantaneous acceleration and position switching capabilities, that is, having sufficient strength, sense of position, and displacement skills.

These Inari are not missing.

In terms of strength, she is one of the best in the Eternal World.

The trainers had already analyzed that even if she were to compare her strength horizontally with all the active horse girls of this generation, she would not be inferior to anyone else.

If we have to pick someone who can compete with her in terms of strength, it would only be Oguruma, who has the natural ability to transform terrifying fans into terrifying power.

As for positioning sense and skills, "blindfold training" has long been a regular special training for the team.

She also continuously trains in-house for top-level skills such as "lightning sprinting" and "ultra-high-speed lane changes". Even though she is not as adept at using them as Tamamo Cross and Oguruma, with plenty of energy in the early stages, it is still easy for her to surpass several opponents with her mastery of the basics.

She could already foresee that if she burst out in an instant, it would be very easy to surpass the outside world.

Not only would it be possible to break the grip of opponents in front and behind in an instant, it might also scare them and disrupt their original plans.

Or you can overtake from the inner lane which is in bad condition. Although this method will consume more physical strength, given the closer distance, the final consumption should be within an acceptable range.

But she held back.

Because, what happens after transcending the past?

She is not a horse girl who is good at leading the pack. She does not have any particularly good talent for the wind-breaking skills, rhythm control, sense of distance, etc. required for that position, and she has not received much special training.

You can run first, but if you run first, given the current performance of the two opponents in front and behind you, they might chase you to that position and continue to target you, which would be a waste of energy.

More importantly, the idea of ​​surpassing others that comes to mind in a flash is an impulsive and energy-wasting idea.

Although the current competition situation is more difficult than expected, the two most noteworthy opponents are simply more thorough and extreme in their targeting than expected, without any additional operations.

Everything was planned before the game.

According to the plan, as long as this state is maintained through the slope, the rest of the track will be smooth.

In that position, one's strength, field, and everything can be maximized.

There is no need to risk getting angry at this moment.

So, be patient, Inari.

Think about the efforts that Xiaoyu, Xiaoli and others have made for you during this period, and think about the continuous efforts that Xiaoxiaoli, Diwang and others have made.

Don't be led by the nose.

Just be patient. As long as you endure, you will achieve a magnificent victory.

Before that, you must not be willful and let all your previous efforts go to waste.

"Wow, you're totally different from what the seniors expected."

The sudden teasing voice coming from the right rear interrupted Inari's thoughts. Looking over in surprise, she saw a smiling face.

"Tani water...comet?"

Inari murmured as he recognized his opponent at once, and Comet Tanizu instantly became excited as if being praised.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's me!"

She exclaimed happily, "I never thought that I would be remembered by the eternal horse girl. It's such an honor."

“But you really surprised me.”

"Even Mujie and Lili have said that you are a horse girl with a bad temper and a violent personality, and you are easily influenced by your opponents."

"But even though that guy in front of you was targeting you, you were able to remain calm. This really exceeded the expectations of the seniors."

"Not bad, not bad. This is a strong opponent. Then I will follow the pre-planned plan and not disturb you."

"Come on, don't let me overtake you easily on the final straight line."

Bad temper... irritable character...

Who are you talking about, you bastard?!

Believe it or not, I will beat you up?!

For a moment, Inari really wanted to rush over and kick this opponent who had said something out of nowhere.

But after the other party finished saying those seemingly provocative words, he quickly controlled his speed and gradually moved back a lot. This situation made Inari calm down in an instant.

Gu Shui Comet deliberately chose a bad move at the beginning instead of chasing after where he was better at, with the obvious purpose of testing himself.

It seemed that not only the trainers in the team understood his situation, but his opponents, their predecessors, and trainers had also conducted detailed investigations and analyses.

Temperament is something that is difficult to detect, especially since previous competitions have been extremely carefully arranged and one's own performance has been normal.

In this situation, the other party can still judge his character, which is enough to make Inari calm down because of his vigilance.

And after calming down, she soon felt a hint of excitement.

After the test, she returned to the running style she was best at. This shows that whether it was Gu Shui Huisheng, the predecessors she mentioned, or her trainer, their plan was to use the approach of the opening plate to test their own situation.

Once you realize that you are not calm because of your personality, you will probably have a follow-up plan.

But despite his patience, the opponent obviously had no way to deal with him while he was calm, so he could only go back to his best running style.

In this case, she can only fight me with hard power.

The hard power of chasing later is to make the last move on the final straight line.

Since the one behind me can't do anything to me, the one in front probably doesn't have any good countermeasures either. At best, he can only continue to stare at me in front. The outcome still depends on real strength.

If we only look at strength...

What do I have to be afraid of?

As soon as he thought of this, Inari suddenly realized that the pressure he had felt before the game and just after the game had disappeared.

What she had been worried about was not how strong the opponent in this game was.

But whether you can overcome your own shortcomings, fully demonstrate your strength, and win victory with everything you have accumulated over time.

It is indeed conceivable that opponents will have their own tactics, especially when facing a team that the outside world has always believed to be "good at all kinds of strange tactics", they will obviously work harder in this regard.

However, the prerequisite for tactics to really work is that the two sides are evenly matched.

Just like the horse girls in the Eternal Team, in terms of strength alone, each of them has different talents, their own running styles, tactics, and skills, and there is no obvious gap between them.

At times like this, the right tactics will play a crucial role.

But outside of eternity, as long as you can follow the pre-match plan from beginning to end, no matter how your opponent uses tactics, it will not have any impact on you.

So, I just need to keep running at my current pace.

As long as we keep running like this, this Takamatsu Palace Cup...

I'm sure to win!

Inari's change of mind was not reflected in anyone's eyes, and even in the eyes of most viewers, her performance was too "conventional" compared to the past.

In the viewing hall at the highest point of the stadium, such a voice was heard. "Inari...his running this time was much more conventional than before."

As the student council member who has the most contact with Yong Shi, Maruzenski quickly noticed that Inariichi was different from before.

"I remember she competed with Jade a lot, right?"

"My impression is that Xiaoyu has performed well and she will soon catch up."

"That kind of extraordinary fighting spirit, as long as there is an opponent that I recognize, I will subconsciously chase after him. This is a strength, but it is also a place that is easy to be targeted."

"Although the opponent this time is not as strong as Xiaoyu, he has been targeting her."

"It's a bit unexpected that she can run so calmly until now."

When Maruzenski made this comment, the teams on the field had already finished the prologue, and the players passed the gentle uphill stage and gradually approached the third bend.

After this position, there is a sudden drop of 3.5 meters, followed by a slope that lasts for hundreds of meters. It is not until the fourth bend that the road passes a 2-meter uphill slope and returns to a smooth road.

"If it was before, Inari was indeed like that."

As Inari's trainer, Yusuhara quickly responded: "Her strength itself is not a big problem. I believe that she can fight against any opponent."

"It's just that in terms of personality, she is indeed very competitive. This is also the reason why she quarrels with Xiaoyu all the time."

After frankly admitting his horse girl's personality condition, he smiled again.

"However, I believe she won't have such a problem this time."

"It's not just the trust from her as a trainer, but also the fact that we have been working hard for her during this period. I believe she will be able to feel this and overcome her past problems."

“And then win the game beautifully.”

"Oh? It's a different training style after all."

Maruzenski turned his eyes slightly away from the track and smiled with interest: "I mean you and Kitahara."

Hearing this, Yuhara was stunned, and Kitahara pointed at himself in surprise.

"I?"

"Yeah, of course I'm talking about you, but also Komiya-san."

After inspecting the trainers of Yongshi, Maruzenski nodded his chin and said with a smile: "How should I put it..."

"I feel like you, Kitahara, are like an old father. You won't easily say words like 'I believe you', 'You're great', 'Keep it up', etc. that directly express your feelings."

"Compared to those sentimental words, you seem to have arranged everything clearly. As long as Oguruma and the others follow your instructions conscientiously, they can win one victory after another."

"This is quite consistent with the image of a taciturn old father in the conventional sense."

“…Hey, I’m not even 30 yet, please don’t make me sound so old, okay?” Kitahara said helplessly.

"Hehehe, I think what President Maruzen said is right. Brother, you are just an old-fashioned person. It's not wrong to say that you are like an old father!"

After making a blunt remark, Komiyayama turned to look at Maruzenski with a grin and asked curiously, "What about me, what about me, President Maruzen?"

"What type of trainer am I?"

"You and Yuhara are very similar, both of you are the big sister and big brother type."

Maruzenski smiled without hesitation and said, "You will do everything a trainer does, and you will also care about your horse girls like older brothers and sisters."

"Oh Kitahara, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you don't care. It's just that even if you do care, you would never say it out loud like Komiya-san and the other two."

"Of course, there are some differences between Komiya-san and Yusuhara."

"the difference……"

Glancing at his smiling colleague beside him, Yuhara hesitated, "What's the difference?"

As trainers, the judgment of their work is the responsibility of Tresen Academy and the URA Council, but privately, Yusuhara and his friends still pay attention to the opinions of some people or horse girls.

A well-known horse girl like Maruzenski has unique racing experience, knowledge and understanding of trainers. Yusuhara thinks her opinions are worth listening to.

"Yuhara, you should be more silent. This should be a common problem among men. You and Kitahara are the same in this respect."

As he spoke, Maruzenski turned his attention back to the competition field, his tone softened and contained a hint of encouragement.

"I think you've never told Inari about the trust you just mentioned, right?"

"Not to mention Kitahara. Even if he trusts his horse girl, all he says is words like training and competition."

"But as a horse girl, I think whether it's Inari, Oguruma, Kobayashi, Aldan, or Tama, they are all the same."

"They probably all hope to hear some emotional words from you."

"After all, we are all very sensitive and emotional."

Want to hear some emotional words?

Subconsciously repeating the sentence in his heart, Bei Yuan instinctively looked towards the horse racing girls on the other side.

On the other side, Oguri Mao and the others were talking to their juniors like Oguri Roman. They seemed to be following the team's previous arrangements and were carefully analyzing the situation on the field.

From the corner of his eye, he clearly saw that Yuhara's eyes were fixed on the playing field below, and his expression gradually became complicated.

Apart from the occasional episode in the viewing hall, the teams on the track had gradually passed the third turn, the slope and the fourth turn, and entered a flat section similar to the opening stage.

There is no more complicated terrain after this position. The following straight road, final bend and final straight line are completely smooth. The victory or defeat here can only be determined by absolute strength.

The competition among the horse racing ladies on the track became visibly fierce.

As if influenced by the situation of the game, the commentary voice gradually became louder.

"This is a rare situation. In normal competitions, competition usually occurs in more complicated stages."

“This Takamatsu Palace Cup was completely the opposite. In the previous slope section, all the players were extremely calm and maintained their leading position through the fourth turn.”

“But just after passing the fourth turn, the situation changed dramatically!”

"The leading bird racer seems to be starting to slow down!"

"There is still some distance to the speedometer. We can compare the speeds in detail after we pass it, but it seems that we don't need to wait until then. The gap between her and the ones behind is obviously starting to narrow!"

"It was at this moment that the Universe Dream player chose to speed up!"

"It's a great choice. There is no special position on the next runway, so many technical runs cannot be performed freely."

"If we take the lead now, we can decide the outcome in our own hands in advance."

"and……"

"And because of the sudden change in speed of the Cosmic Dream player, the horse racing girls who were originally in the leading position also started to fight for position."

“Now Swimbird still has a lead of about two lengths, and behind her are her opponents who are almost in a row.”

"After this row of Uma Musume... it's Inari-chan!"

"It seems that Inari is in trouble. If the opponent in front of her keeps this condition, it may be difficult for her to overtake."

“Should we go further to the outside lane? Or should we take the risk of rushing out from the inside lane which is in poor condition?”

"There are less than 1000 meters to the finish line, and there is still time. I hope she can come up with a strategy in time and not disappoint the fans who support her!"

Amid the slightly worried voices of the commentators and guests, the voices in the audience cheering for Inariichi became noticeably louder, and driven by this atmosphere, the atmosphere in the entire stadium gradually reached a climax.

Amidst such voices, Yuzhou Meng, who had already grabbed the second place, glanced back calmly.

Among all the contestants, Inariichi's height was quite noticeable, and she immediately spotted the opponent she had been keeping an eye on for more than a month before the competition started.

A little strange...

She frowned secretly, because Inari's performance in this game was completely beyond her and her trainer's expectations.

In her pre-match planning, she repeatedly dissected all of Inari's match videos, and so did her trainer.

They both agreed that Inari was indeed very strong, so strong that even though Yuzhou Meng had won the Oaks Tournament, he still did not have much confidence in defeating him based on strength alone.

The only thing that can be used is his impulsive character.

In competitions such as the Shizou Memorial Cup, Hanshin Grand Prix, and Emperor's Spring Viewing, Inariichi's performance seemed very strong, but after careful analysis, it can be found that she can easily fall into the rhythm of strong opponents.

Before arriving at the center, she followed Oguruma's master into the memorial cup. Almost at the moment when the latter exerted force, she burst out immediately.

Similar situations also occurred during the Hanshin Grand Prix and the Emperor's Spring Viewing Ceremony. She seemed to have no rhythm of her own, and would only "find" the rhythm when Tamamo Cross made a clear move.

This way of running may have unique advantages, such as being able to unleash even more amazing strength under the pressure of a strong opponent.

This is indeed the reality. Inari's data in these games is obviously much better than others.

But this does not mean that she is the type who becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents. The evidence is that except for the first place in the Hanshin Grand Prix, she failed to win against strong opponents.

In this situation, rather than becoming stronger when facing a stronger opponent, it is more likely that one will be led by the nose by the opponent.

The victory of the Takamatsunomiya Cup, which is the most ideal for Universe Dream, is also based on this situation.

As long as you can arouse Inari's fighting spirit in the early stages of the game, such as the opening and middle stages, the opponent will most likely waste unnecessary energy.

By the time she reaches the final straight line that determines the outcome, she will most likely lose control.

Just like the leading swimming bird that has begun to lose speed at this moment, the tactics against this opponent are essentially no different from those against Inari Ichi.

But... why didn’t she fall for it...?
There should be no problem with the plan...

However, it shouldn't have much of an impact...

After thinking for a long time, Yuzhou Meng withdrew his gaze from the back and slightly glanced at the several opponents standing side by side in the inner lane.

Those were the horse racing ladies who had just competed with her for the leading position. At this moment, due to the loss of speed of the swimming bird, they were all affected and their forward path was blocked.

This was all part of her plan.

As long as it is affected in the early stage, it is difficult for the swimming bird to control the consciousness of acceleration, but its physical strength and endurance are not enough to support the subsequent race. At this time, the stall is exactly the same as planned.

I deliberately spent my energy to fight for the first place from the outside lane because I knew in advance that the swimming bird would interfere with the rear due to the stall. So although it seemed that I took a long detour, in fact, this was the shortcut to victory.

Not only will it affect the leading position, but in a crowded situation, it will definitely be difficult for the smaller guy to break through.

How could she have anticipated the current situation?

So the next thing to do is to take a breath...

"Wow, this time it's the same as what the seniors said."

The sudden voice coming from behind him startled Yuzhoumeng and he looked over in astonishment.

"Tani Shui... Comet?" She exclaimed after seeing clearly who the smiling face belonged to.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's me... Hey? Why does this scene feel familiar?"

After responding with a smile, Gu Shui Comet was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became serious.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, thank you very much."

"Thanks……?"

He was shocked again, and before Yuzhou Meng could react, he saw, as if dazzled, that Comet Gushui had instantly surpassed him.

"Thank you for helping me find out Inariichi's situation in advance. That guy is much calmer than you thought."

"Thank you for stopping her for me..."

After saying these two words, Comet Gushui accelerated further, and in an instant, it once again widened the distance it had just opened.

With the support of her family, she had already made a comprehensive plan for this competition.

In this plan, the opponent that needs to be paid the most attention is not the other horse girls, but Yuzhou Meng, whom she just surpassed.

This opponent is extremely good at using all kinds of troublesome tactics. It would be a real headache if I were to face him head-on.

The seniors and trainers all speculated that if Yuzhoumeng regarded her as an opponent, he would probably slow down to a chasing position and try to defend her.

This line of thinking seemed incredible to her, and she simply couldn't imagine why anyone would target Uma Musume like this.

But judging from the opponent's previous matches and the current situation of the Takamatsunomiya Cup, it is possible that the champion of the Oaks Tournament would do so.

But this possibility no longer exists because the other party did not target me from the beginning.

Instead, she placed the emphasis on Inari, whom she had already surpassed before.

As a horse girl who is good at chasing from behind, long-distance acceleration is an essential ability. The moment she completed the uphill after the fourth turn, Comet Tanizu began to accelerate continuously.

She could see clearly how congested the road ahead was, so the moment she accelerated, she headed towards the outside lane.

Afterwards, he successfully surpassed Inariichi, and then surpassed Yuzhou Meng in a way that he had never expected, and now he is in the first position.

This is the ideal situation in pre-match planning.

Well, apart from Inariichi's unexpected calmness, everything else has been going smoothly until now...

Just keep going, right?

"What on earth are you talking about?!"

The first position was not surpassed, but the sudden fierce footsteps and the breathtaking pressure from behind made Comet Gu Shui suddenly realize that Universe Dream was chasing him.

And he chased after me in the state of territory!
With the experience of her predecessors, she knew the existence of the domain, and she also knew that the cosmic dream of winning the Oaks Championship was likely to have touched the domain.

But when she asked if she could become a horse girl who led the generation and master the field, the seniors were either silent or confused without exception.

She somewhat understood that her predecessors might not think highly of her.

But what does it matter? Since she is a horse racing girl, no matter who her opponent is, how can she give up without running to the last minute?
So what if you are a horse girl who has mastered the field?
Everything about you is within the guesses of our predecessors, even your field!
Gu Shui Comet knows the field and has experienced the pressure brought by the fields of her predecessors, so she can adapt to it.

Moreover, because she was unwilling to give in and refused to admit defeat, after a moment of fear, she clenched her teeth and sped up again.

I won’t let you surpass the past easily. I… come again?!

The second footsteps chasing from behind made Gu Shui Comet's heart shrink again.

What frightened her even more was that she had clearly experienced the oppressive feeling brought by the domain from her predecessors and just now from Universe Dream.

But compared with this time, those experiences can only be described as dwarfed by the giant.

It was as if a fox demon that had been sealed for a thousand years suddenly reappeared in the world for some unknown reason. She felt that the one chasing her from behind was such a terrifying existence.

No, it was not just from behind, it was right beside her!
It wasn't just the sound of footsteps, she even heard the fox demon's murmurs.

The murmurs were like deep purple fox fire, with an enchanting and terrifying quality that made her want to turn her head to look, but she didn't have the courage to do so.

She didn't know whether the cosmic dream she had just passed heard the murmur, but she could tell that the murmur was definitely directed at the two of them.

"Have you two...had enough of the fun?"

A low murmur sounded like a sigh, accompanied by footsteps that seemed to tear something apart.

"If you make enough noise, Inari-sama... will pass!"

It is better to finish writing the competition in one go
My condition has been very bad in the past half month. This episode is really hard to describe.

I probably have a competition in my mind that I need to write about, but it’s like the kind of thing where one second I think of doing something, the next second I get distracted, and the next second I can’t remember what it is.

It is this kind of uncomfortable feeling. I can only try my best to write down what I can get in my mind.

Then I will continue to adjust my state. A lot of things happened to my family and myself this month, and the condition of the book has been greatly affected. I am very sorry to all the book friends, and I am very grateful for their understanding.
I will continue to work hard later, thank you!
