Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 233 Not on the same playing field (9K)

In fact, Kitahara didn't need to emphasize it deliberately, the changes on the field were too obvious.

The summer afternoon sun was hot and bright, shining directly on the wide, flat asphalt road, and the dark road surface took on an unusual deep blue glow.

Against the backdrop of pitch black and dark blue, the figure moving forward in the roar was like a scarlet supercar that suddenly changed gears, instantly grabbing the attention of all those watching the game.

Countless spectators inside and outside the stadium held their breath and their pupils contracted.

It was not because they saw some terrible scene, on the contrary, it was a scene that the followers had imagined countless times.

In the opening set, which lasted about 500 meters, the race situation remained unchanged, which did not disappoint the audience, but everyone was looking forward to more exciting performances from those legendary players.

And among those five horse girls, the sound of the engine of the "Phantom Supercar" that won 5 out of 8 races roaring again on the track, with a speed switch that was like a dream beyond imagination, was exactly what countless people wanted to hear and see again.

At this moment, the changes in the arena and the expected situation happened at the same time.

The two anticipated things coincided with each other, instantly taking away everyone's rationality, and the atmosphere in the open-air stadium stands was instantly ignited.

Not only on the scene, but also in front of the TV, computer and mobile phone screens broadcasting the live broadcast of the game, exclamations and joy were heard one after another.

Far in the north of Japan, in Akita Prefecture, a corner of Mt. Shirakami.

"Did you see that, guys?!"

The long ears with white earmuffs trembled excitedly, and the fingers stretched out tremblingly. The excited Sakura Chiyo King desperately shook the companion beside him and said incoherently:
"I told you, didn't I? I told you, didn't I?!"

"Maruzen-senpai will never give up the lead. She must have been observing her opponent when she fell behind in the early stages!"

"Now the time is ripe, she will surpass us in no time!"

"Just wait and see, it will definitely be like this!"

Having always admired Maruzenski, Sakura Chiyo Oh naturally could not miss this unprecedented performance of her idol.

Like many people, she once thought that this situation would never happen.

Because of this, after learning about the contestants of this competition, she almost lost her appetite and had been looking forward to this moment.

As a result, she made several mistakes and was criticized many times during the team's special training.

In such an excited state of mind, she saw the dream scene on the live TV broadcast, and she didn't even look carefully at who she was grabbing and shaking.

"...Yes, that's right... What the King Chiyo said is true..."

The one who was caught was Yae Wudi. After being shaken violently, even though she had practiced martial arts since childhood and had a good balance, she felt dizzy and could hardly see the TV screen clearly.

This is not an exaggeration. Most of Mount Shirakami is still undeveloped virgin forest, and the developed parts do not have many modern facilities.

The natural ecology is very suitable for special training of female racehorses, but it also makes the TV signal not so good.

Due to the intermittent signal, the TV in front of me had some snow and flickering problems.

At this moment, being grabbed by his friend and shaken, Yaezhe Wudi felt that he was dazzled and had missed several scenes.

"S-Stop shaking... Focus on the game..."

Struggling hard, she said helplessly: "Didn't Prince Chiyo say that he was paying close attention to this game? Then you should watch it carefully..."

"Ohh! Yes yes!"

After being reminded like this, Sakura Chiyoou subconsciously let go of his hands and put them on his knees obediently.

With her kneeling posture, she now looked very serious and dignified.

The same was true for Yae Wudi, and when she saw that Sakura Chiyo had calmed down a little, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly focused all her attention on the TV screen.

She also didn't want to miss the game.

There is a huge difference between a relay race and a formal competition. The running method, tactics and schedule are secondary. The most important thing is that the intensity is not that high.

But this relay race is different.

When she heard the news of the competition, she was not like Sakura Chiyo who only focused on Maruzenski.

She admitted that she was surprised and excited to see Maruzenski and other seniors perform again.

She had referred to the experience and practical experience of her predecessors countless times in her previous training and studies.

But past recordings and real events are two different things. After the game, many details can be clearly reproduced by few people except the trainers and players at the time, not even ordinary audiences.

Now that she had the chance to see her predecessors perform again, she would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And that's just one reason why she's paying attention to the game, and not the most important one.

The most important reason is that the horse racing girls whom she regards as her goals and powerful opponents will also participate in the competition.

That is, she is a horse girl from the same generation as her, Team Eternal.

Especially the little chestnut hat.

From the initial mentality of an equal confrontation to the idea of ​​catching up now, she has already admitted in her heart that there is a visible gap between herself and Oguruma.

It is absolutely impossible to give up the opportunity to fight with the opponent, but before actually competing again, you must always pay attention to everything about the target.

So, although she was watching the first game on TV, she was secretly looking forward to the second game.

However, she did not ignore everything on the screen because of her subconscious expectations.

"…It seems that it is not what you expected, Prince Chiyo."

While concentrating on the game, Yae Wudi forgot about the tragic situation of being shaken just now. He subconsciously frowned, touched his chin, and said in surprise:
"Although I am also very strange, but..."

"But Maruzen-senpai, it seems like she has no intention of trying to take the lead."

"Compared to fighting for position, I feel..."

She hesitated, "Maruzen-senpai, it seems that you want to force Katsuragi-senpai to speed up...?"

"Is this a tactic...?"

On the TV screen, the positions of the top two horse girls were still as Yae Muto had said, with Katsuragi Ace in front and Maruzenski behind.

It’s not to say that there is no change at all. Compared to the situation at the beginning, the distance between the two horse girls has shortened visibly.

With a gap of just half a horse's length, the race was obviously more intense.

Especially since both horse girls are very recognisable.

This relay race was not at the G1 level, and all the participants wore the same short-sleeved shirts, shorts and running shoes.

However, Katsuragi Ace has short black hair and a long black ponytail, while Maruzenski's long hair and ponytail are brown-red.

When driving at high speed, if the screen camera is a little further away, the entangled black and red afterimages can be seen.

With such a high leading speed, the following three horse girls did not try to catch up, but maintained their previous distance.

This means that they noticed the change in speed ahead and adjusted their speed, but did not change their original running style and tactics.

The commentary coming from the TV also proves this.

"Incredible! As expected of a legendary horse girl!"

Yayoi Akikawa's usually high-pitched voice is very recognizable. Like Kitahara, she does not imitate professional commentators too much, but has her own characteristics.

"Both Katsuragi Ace and Maruzenski are very fast, but the abnormally high speed they brought did not affect the following teams."

"Luduo Symbol, Mejiro Takamine and Chiaki Representative simply accelerated in time and did not deliberately change the original strategy."

"A very calm countermeasure!"

Likewise, Kitahara's serious voice is very recognisable.

"It is indeed as Chairman Akikawa said. Despite Maruzenski's sudden acceleration, the overall position of the team has not changed."

"The leader is still Katsuragi Ace, and her leading position is very stable."

“Maruzenski is much closer, but still in second place. Maybe his pursuit just now was just a tactic.”

“At a closer distance, the horse girl behind can make better use of the wake in front, which will reduce wind resistance and make the running posture more comfortable.”

"Of course, there is also the consideration of forcing speed up."

“Although I haven’t played in a game for a long time, the audience should not forget that Maruzenski once had an extraordinary speed-up skill on the court.”

"This requires extremely strong rhythm control and explosive power. Perhaps she wanted to prepare for this decisive move in advance."

"So far, this tactic has had some effect, but it may not be what Maruzenski wants."

"After all, the overall speed is faster now."

"But whether it was the Katsuragi ace in front, or the symbol of Ludo and Mejiro Takamine in the wrong position, or the representative of Chiaki in the pursuit, their pace and running posture did not become disrupted because of this."

"I agree with Chairman Akikawa's evaluation. She is indeed a legendary horse girl."

“This kind of transition takes a long time for many horse girls, but the competitors in this stage can make the transition almost instantly.”

“It can be seen that the next competition will definitely be more exciting because of this super level.”

The 4000-meter distance, which is longer than most events, allows more time for commentary, which also makes Kitahara's description clearer.

But over at Shirakami Mountain, several horse racing girls who were nervously watching the race in front of the TV had many doubts.

Not only Sakura Chiyo and Yae Mudi were watching TV, but also Aotake Yui and Didu Shooter from the same team.

Like the former, Qingzhu Huiyi also sat upright in front of the TV with a confused expression on his face.

"That's weird. I mean, I originally felt like Maruzen-senpai was trying to get to the front."

Scratching his head, Qingzhu's brows wrinkled as he recalled, "Although Sister Nanase said that the running style that Maruzen-senpai is good at is actually to go first instead of leading."

"But with so few contestants, it stands to reason that you should be considered for the lead, right?"

"Then if you didn't intend to do this, why did you speed up before?"

Just like Beiyuan, the Beyond Team where Qingzhu Yihui is located also has a personnel structure including chief and technicians.

The chief trainer is Fumino Nase, who was famous during her school days.

Before she graduated, many people in the horse racing girl industry invited her to participate in some work many times.

The reason for this can be largely attributed to her father, the industry-renowned trainer, Naise Hideto.

For the same reason, even though she is very young, Fumino Nase's vision and experience far exceed those of her peers.

Like Kitahara, she had also guessed what kind of running style Maruzenski was really good at, and had also discussed it with her horse racing wives.

At this time, she was not watching the race with the horse racing ladies, but was in another room, analyzing the relay race with the trainers of the same team.

But her past teachings obviously played a role here.

“…I’m not entirely sure, but I have an idea.”

Unlike his three companions, shooter Dido leaned against the wall from the beginning, with his hands in his pockets, wearing a hood and watching the game on the TV screen with his face tilted.

Before this, she had said nothing and her expression was silent, but she suddenly spoke, which immediately attracted Qingzhu's attention.

"Hey? Dido, what did you think of?"

"They... I mean, Maruzen-senpai and the others, they might not be running the same race."

Facing Qingzhu's surprised question, Didu Shooter was silent for a moment and asked uncertainly.

However, this answer made her friends even more confused.

"Not running the same race? What are you talking about, Dido?"

Looking at Didu Shooter in surprise, then at the TV, Sakura Chiyo King pointed at the red figure on the screen and said in disbelief:
"Maruzen-senpai, isn't she running with the seniors?"

"Yeah, what on earth is this...?"

Qingzhu Huiyi and Yae Wudi were also confused.

"I'm not talking about the body, I'm talking about here."

With a slightly more affirmative tone, Didu the archer moved away from the wall he was leaning against, stood up straight, clenched his fists, crossed his arms, and pounded his chest.

"Their hearts are not all on the same track."

After she said this, her three friends were stunned at first, looked at each other, and then looked at the game situation on the screen for a while, and then one after another showed a thoughtful expression.

The horse racing ladies present were not mediocre people. Didu the archer did react faster, but that didn't mean Sakura Chiyo and the others couldn't think of anything.

"It seems you have the same idea."

Nodding and staring at the TV screen, Didu Shooter said in a deep voice:
"Katsuragi-senpai, Luduo-senpai, and Chiaki-senpai, the three of them are running the same race."

"But Maruzen-senpai and Takamine-senpai are not."

"I even suspect that these two seniors were not running the same race."

What Didu Sagittarius said was exactly what Sakura Chiyo and the others were thinking.

The first three horse girls she mentioned are so famous that the entanglements between them are no secret at all.

The victory or defeat between the Triple Crowns, the sinking of two Triple Crowns in the Japan Cup, the final showdown in the Arima Kinen, these were not only talked about with great relish back then, but are still the topic of conversation among fans after dinner.

In this kind of atmosphere, it is hard for the three parties involved not to want to compete again.

What's more, as a fellow horse racing girl, Didu Shooter knows very well that no one can really let go of winning or losing.

The past victories and defeats may be let go and let go, but once you step onto the field again, the thought of not wanting to lose will absolutely not be erased.

"I don't doubt the strength or mentality of my seniors. I'm just a little worried that not all of them are aware of that."

Staring at the TV screen, Didu Shooter said in a deep voice:

"That is, this is a relay race, not the Arima Kinen."

"They may have done a lot of preparation for the relay race, but a special relay race mentality cannot be cultivated in a short period of time, especially since the relay race is very different from the official race."

"I think that the reason why Katsuragi-senpai chose to lead, Luduo-senpai chose to run behind, and Qianming-senpai chose to chase after is not only because these are the running methods they are best at, but also because..."

"They may regard this competition as a follow-up to the Arima Kinen."

His eyes wandered between the three seniors mentioned, and then moved to the figure with long brown-red hair in front of him. Didu Shooter continued:
"In comparison, it is almost certain that Maruzen-senpai ran with the goal of winning the entire relay race."

"Just like her competition back then."

"She doesn't need to think about what her opponent is doing or thinking, she just needs to run at her own speed."

"She would run with whatever speed and power was needed for the Asahi Cup and Short Wave Shogi."

"She will run with whatever speed and power is required for the first 4000 meters of this relay race."

"Do you remember, everyone..."

He suddenly changed the subject, without responding to the surprised looks from his companions, and the archer Didu suddenly said with some emotion:
“After missing the Japanese Derby that year, some words seemed to be circulating among Maruzen’s team.”

"The meaning is probably that even if there is no prize money after participating, it doesn't matter. I just want to participate and let the world know who is the strongest."

“Perhaps, the sudden acceleration just now, or the realization of part of my dream in this game that is completely different from the Japanese derby…”

"Maruzen-senpai, she truly realizes what race she is running."

Such a clear guess made the expressions on Sakura Chiyo's and the others' faces even more clear, and Sakura Chiyo shouted in surprise.

"If that's the mentality, then doesn't that mean that in this first stage... Maruzen-senpai has the best chance of winning?"

"Ah, I'm not saying that you underestimate Guild Master Luduo and the others, it's just..."

After expressing her surprise, she hurriedly shook her hands and explained:

"If they are just too concerned about winning against their opponents, their game rhythm won't be as good as Maruzen-senpai, right?"

"For example, if Maruzen-senpai's acceleration just now was aimed at the entire relay race, he should be able to lead the rhythm of the entire first leg, right?"

"As expected of Maruzen-senpai, even if he didn't get the first move, he was still able to get the rhythm like a leader!"

“It’s really… outstanding!”

Like a little fan girl, Sakura Chiyo couldn't help but grab to the side again, without even seeing who it was, and shook it randomly.

"No, I think Senior Gao Feng's chances of winning are not small."

It was no longer Yae Wudi who was caught. After being attacked, she wisely moved to the side.

So after Qingzhu, who was unaware of the situation, recalled the incident, she naturally touched her chin, stared at the screen, and began to think seriously.

"Gao Feng's adaptability to long distances is not very good, but the 4000-meter distance should be very stressful for her."

"But in the relay race, as long as she can control the overall condition of the first runner and not fall behind, there shouldn't be any big problems." "You know, the runner next to her is Tamamo Cross."

"To be honest, I think... she should be the strongest horse girl in the world, especially after winning the 3200-meter Emperor's Spring Race."

Her brows knitted involuntarily, and she muttered to herself, "If I run with this goal, maybe..."

"I can't guess this for sure, but maybe..."

After hearing what Yae Wudi said, Didu Shooter also thought: "Perhaps, her thoughts are not that simple, or not that many."

"Although I am not the older sister, I have two younger sisters competing in the same competition..."

"Maybe the race she's running in has something to do with Aldant and McQueen..."

The horse racing ladies in front of the TV here all had their own guesses, and the race on the screen was also going on simultaneously.

The 4000-meter race is a distance that is not included in any URA Shining Series race, and it is also held on a road track with a different texture from that of other major races.

If any other active horse racing girl were to take over, it would probably be difficult for her to treat such a track like grass.

However, all the horse racing girls in this stage were of top level. The differences in race length, ground conditions, bends and straights did not cause them to hesitate at all.

Just as they were thinking at the moment.

That’s right, that’s right, hahahaha!
That's the kind of game!
Rushing to the front, Ace Katsuragi felt that his heart was as hot as magma.

The spectators who were closer, just outside the fences on both sides, cheered, and from both sides.

The strong wind blowing from the direction blew on her ears, as if it was trying to push her back.

The solid impact of stomping hard on the ground.

The footsteps, breathing and gazes from behind made his blood boil.

All this made her feel as if she had returned to the long-lost past.

There were victories, but also many failures, as well as violent rushes caused by being too immersed in the heat and passion of the game and forgetting the trainer's arrangements.

She felt that her outburst at this moment was just like that of the past, full of recklessness and unrestrainedness.

She didn't agree to this competition just because she wanted to fight against Luduo and Qianming again.

That's just one of the reasons.

What made her even more excited was everything she felt at that moment.

And the more important reason is the uniqueness of the game itself.

She has always hated boring stereotypes and the inexplicably closed atmosphere.

But when he was in service, there were always such things happening inside and outside the stadium.

Bloodline, rules, regulations, all of these things seemed to be arranged in advance. Whatever is stipulated is what it is, and there is no possibility of transcending it.

But isn't that why I step onto the field?!
To break them, break those so-called common sense, obstacles, and boring things, and become the ace in the arena...

Isn't this the reason why I, the Ace of Katsuragi, step onto the field? !
It was really great that the trainer was such a refreshing match!

It suits my taste very well!

Find some time to become his sworn brother!
So in order to bring this up in a more respectable way, like we did before...

Come and try to surpass me, Luduo, Qianming!
"Surprise! Just like Maruzenski before, Katsuragi representative increased his speed very suddenly!"

At the moment when Katsuragi Ace's figure changed, Akikawa Yayoi's timely and surprised voice was heard from the temporary broadcasting stations on both sides of the track and the screens inside and outside the stadium.

In terms of professional ability, the chairman of Central Tresen College is no less than most trainers.

As a horse racing girl, she has a keener observation of the competition.

She sensed the acceleration of Katsuragi's Ace almost before the data received from Kitahara.

"It's very unpredictable. The Katsuragi Ace is just like it was back then, full of unpredictability."

"Common sense and conventions have almost no effect on her. Rules and regulations seem to be something she is not born with."

“We are now in the middle of the first stage and have been going on for quite a while.”

"Generally, the leading horse girl will slow down at this point to accumulate strength for the final sprint."

"but……"

"The Katsuragi ace player didn't do that at all!"

"She accelerated when she was still quite a distance away from the handover area, as if she wanted to rush to the finish line in one go!"

"If this is the tactic, as long as Ace Katsuragi can maintain sufficient physical strength, the Umamusume in the rear must respond to it."

"Otherwise, once the distance is widened, even the strongest last kick will be difficult to make up for it!"

Yayoi Akikawa was very excited. While commenting on the game, she was waving the paper fan in her hand continuously. The three big words "Chairman" written with a brush on the fan left a black afterimage in the air.

Not only her, but the audience in the stadium also went crazy and fell into the same excitement and frenzy as her.

Perhaps Katsuragi Ace's acceleration at this moment was beyond the expectations of everyone and Uma Musume, but thinking of his past legendary experience and wonderful performance, this unexpectedness quickly turned into approval and cheers.

Leading the race is one of the most spectacular ways of running, and being the first to win is the motto of horse racing ladies.

This made all the audience even more unable to calm down.

For a moment, Kitahara also wanted to exclaim.

But that's not because of the excitement on the track, but for safety.

The speed on the field is already quite fast, and just the initial start exceeds the finishing speed of most shining events.

After the middle stage, although the contestants entered a slower cruising state as usual, the speed they displayed was not comparable to that of ordinary horse racing girls.

At this moment, Katsuragi's ace accelerated again, and the data received by Kitahara showed that the situation on the field had returned to the "abnormal" state in the opening game.

He worried that the pace would create too much physical stress.

But he soon realized that his worries were unnecessary.

The data transmitted includes not only speed, distance, vibration, etc., but also body temperature, heartbeat, respiration, etc. displayed after infrared detection.

Through the professionalism of the trainer, he quickly determined that both Katsuragi Ace and Maruzenski and others who followed were in perfect physical condition.

In other words, the current "high speed" is actually the "normal speed" of their current state.

...Is this the realm of normalcy...?
Kitahara knew that the reason why this competition was more intense than ordinary competitions was that some of the horse girls entered the field state just like revenge.

However, he now realized that this judgment was somewhat biased.

For Katsuragi Ace and the others, the domain is no longer an ability that needs to be entered and will disappear, but is indeed a "state".

To put it simply, for players at the level of Oguruma and the others, the domain is an "active skill" that needs to be activated.

But for the horse racing ladies who were galloping at this moment, that was already a kind of "passive".

So, it seems that there is no need to worry about them...

But it’s better to check it later, anyway…

After thinking for a while, Kitahara did not forget his job and continued to comment on the game according to Akikawa Yayoi's words.

"The speed of Katsuragi's ace player is very obvious. In just a few seconds, she has widened the gap again."

"At this moment, Maruzenski, who is in second place, is more than two lengths behind."

“But she didn’t deliberately chase after it.”

"She accelerated in the opening stages. Now it seems that she observed her opponent during the opening stages and adjusted her speed to a level more suitable for the entire relay race."

"Yes, everyone, I think it is necessary to remind you that this is a relay race."

"Except for the last leg, the rest of the race will not only depend on who enters the handover area first."

“It also depends on which track can complete the handover better.”

"If you don't have the right speed, just the speed and the lead, there may be unexpected situations at the junction that are difficult to handle."

"At the moment, it seems that Katsuragi's ace player... ahem, seems to have forgotten this matter."

"I hope she can remember that there are teammates waiting for her."

"Her negligence may also be due to her opponent."

"After all, the person she is competing with is her former rival... this!"

For a moment, Kitahara forgot that he was in a helicopter and suddenly stood up, almost hitting the ceiling.

“Rush forward!”

"As if responding to Katsuragi's Ace's speed increase..."

"Representative Qian Ming rushed forward!"

Oh my...

Little Katsuragi...

Still as reckless and bold as he was back then, have you completely forgotten that this is a relay race...?
but……

It’s okay to forget it.

After all, if I “accidentally forget” this, I can say that I was influenced by you.

It was as if everything had stopped, and as if the scene in front of him had turned into a strange edited screen. Representative Qian Ming only felt that in a split second, there were originally four figures in front of him, but now there was only one left.

The familiar figure speeding on the unfamiliar track was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts that were rarely seen.

In her eyes, however, she was wearing a windbreaker that left an extremely deep impression on her and that she seemed unable to forget even in her dreams.

The trench coat was black in base color, with red and blue decorations on the shoulders and hem.

When the hem is raised, you can faintly see the golden lines on the inside.

Compared to the red, blue and gold, she cared more about the four large white characters arranged vertically in the middle of the back of the windbreaker.

"Katsuragi Ace".

Ah... It seems like it's been a long time since I chased after this guy like this, and it's been a long time since I saw her conspicuous winning outfit...

How long has it been...

I can’t remember, and…

It doesn't matter.

It would be great to be able to chase you again like I did before.

Especially with Luduo like this...huh?

His heart was filled with a mixture of strangeness and familiarity, enthusiasm and calmness, when Representative Qian Ming suddenly noticed something strange.

This oddity almost slowed her down for a moment, and even though she didn't slow down her pace in pursuit of Katsuragi's ace, she still couldn't help but look sideways.

Maruzen-senpai...

Wasn’t it Luduo who was chasing after Katsuragi together?

Where is Ludo…?
"You three..."

Following closely behind representative Chiaki, Maruzenski maintained the optimal speed determined from the beginning of the game without expending too much energy or losing his rhythm.

Therefore, she received the gaze of Qian Ming's representative with ease, and she could even chuckle and whispered:
"I knew you would be like this..."

"During training, he teaches the juniors well, but once on the court, he only has eyes for the other player."

"Are you looking for Luduo? I'm afraid she is the most troubled person in this game right now."

"Well, it's a complicated, tangled love triangle."

"Do you really care that much about being the strongest..."

She suddenly fell silent.

Because when she unconsciously uttered the strongest word, three figures that were once so close and yet so far away inexplicably appeared in her mind.

in case……

Ten-point, Fujimasa, Midorikusa...if it were these three who were participating...

Well, I can’t say that, because I’m the same as them…

The symbolism of Ludo is indeed very complicated.

Although this dilemma did not affect her running posture, arm swing, breathing, and rhythm, it completely affected her ideal racing performance.

Possessing the most outstanding talent and strength of her generation, even after retiring and being busy with the work of student council president day after day, she has not completely relaxed her self-training.

The strength is naturally not comparable to when it was in service, but the professionalism is definitely not worse, and may even be better.

Although the team I was in back then was not as rigorous and systematic as the Yongshi team we see now, it also had discussion sessions.

Or maybe it can't be called a discussion, but rather it was her one-sided speech, just like the speech she gave at the opening ceremony now.

If we really use the nickname of emperor to describe it, perhaps it can be called issuing an edict.

Her talent is not only in athletic running, but she is also no less talented than any other trainer in training.

This kind of talent has only become more outstanding after seeing more horse girls training and competing during the student council period.

This is also why she is able to take full responsibility for her team's training for this relay race.

So, this is a relay race...

These two guys...

She gritted her teeth.

Have you realized this fact?!

It's okay with Katsuragi, but that guy has always been like this...

Qianming, you did this on purpose, right?!

Just thinking about winning the first round...

At this speed, how will the next baton be handed over in 20 meters? !

But, are we just going to let them win like this...?

She gritted her teeth again.

"It's really ugly, President."

Suddenly, Luduo heard a light voice beside her, and she couldn't help but turned her head in surprise.

With a relaxed look that was completely different from the complicated expression on Luduo's face at the moment, Mejiro Takamine was as leisurely as if he was enjoying afternoon tea in the family courtyard.

But her posture was far from leisurely.

She has surpassed the symbol of Rudra.

After Ace Katsuragi and Representative Chiaki accelerated successively, the overall position situation did not change much.

The leader was still the ace Katsuragi who led from the beginning to the end.

The second one changed from Maruzenski to Chiaki Representative, with the former in third place.

The Ludo symbol and the Mejiro peak followed closely behind, just like before.

At this moment, after surpassing the Ludo symbol, Mejiro Takamine said softly:

"You have the title of emperor, but the strength you have shown now can even surpass mine, right?"

"You are worried that you can't give the younger generation a good start. This is indeed the responsibility of a senior, a president, and indeed an emperor."

“But, trust them.”

"Just like I believe in Aldan and McQueen, I believe in all the younger generations."

"If we can't even beat you, how can we win..."

"If you still don't give your best, they might think so."
