Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 240: Xiaolimao is completely stunned
Aldan...?!

In a horrified glance, Super Xiaowan saw the hideous face of Aldan in the corner of his eye.

This eldest daughter of the Mejiro family, a horse girl who used to be full of elegance and gentleness in her speech and behavior, now had an expression that could only be described as ferocious.

Just like the Prajnaparamita in Noh drama and mythology, the facial features are still as delicate as ever, but because of the ferocious expression, people have the illusion of sharp horns and teeth.

Legend has it that ghosts like Prajna are born from resentment caused by jealousy.

Golden horns, pale face, long black hair, and red teeth are all symbols of jealousy.

As if to reflect the jealousy mentioned before the game, at this moment, Super Xiaowan's eyes were white with Aldan, which brought him this strong sense of shock.

But she knew that the jealousy her teammate expressed actually represented the desire to win the game and the determination to do so at all costs.

Super Xiaohaiwan knew that she was the same, and the nature of the trembling she described to Xiaolimao was exactly the same as Aldan's.

She even felt that Xiao Limao might not have had such thoughts in the past, but might have them now.

The moment she passed Oguruma just now, she saw the same kind of ferocious look with all her might.

The competitions between horse girls are completely different from Winning Live, which is full of energy, joy and laughter.

For the sake of one's dreams, the expectations one carries, and the efforts made by oneself and those around one, one can compete at any cost.

If you want to win in this kind of competition, appearance, temperament and the like are meaningless, let alone facial expression management.

I must have had the same ferocious expression on my face, Super Bay was sure of it.

She has what she wants, and that never changes no matter what the situation.

In fact, I, Oguruma, and Aldan are all the same.

They almost missed the chance to step onto the field due to leg problems.

They all have dreams that they must not give up easily, and they all want to win every game.

After arriving in Yongshi, these hidden dangers were eliminated with the help of the trainers, and I became more eager to win and win more beautifully.

But she is different from her companions.

Any competition tests everything that the horse racing girls have, which means that even if some abilities are not top-notch, they can still be compensated.

She knows what she is good at and is aware of her talents, such as her extraordinary endurance and her sudden intuition during competitions.

She has been relying on the training and competitions she has participated in to win.

But she didn't win all the games after all.

This is not accidental, and it will continue to be like this unless something changes.

Her speed is not fast enough, and her sustained cruising speed and acceleration generated by explosive power are not the best in this generation.

She had already sensed that her opponents in future competitions would become increasingly powerful, and if she was not as strong as them, she might lose everything.

What's more, what she lacks is "speed".

For horse racing girls whose life’s purpose is speed, is there anything more desperate than “not fast enough”?
Perhaps there are many ways to comfort yourself.

For example, she still won a lot of competitions, she still has a lot of talent, and she has been continuously training her speed...

But not fast enough is not fast enough.

Perhaps this gap can be made up in the future, and the training in the joint training camp has been moving towards that goal.

But she wanted to try it once, just once.

She wanted to see if she could surpass her so-called talent and the limit of her speed just by relying on some of her seemingly intuitive ideas.

Even if it meant becoming a villain, even if it meant targeting her long-time friends, she was determined to do it.

And this isn't just for Oguruma.

Whether it's Tama, Inari, or Aldan, she wants to try this once.

Therefore, it was not unexpected that Aldan would catch up.

First it was Oguri, then Aldan, and then Tama and Inari.

The opponent you are watching may change at any time, but what you want will never change.

With this competition, whether it is official or not, I will confirm my intuition, confirm and surpass my limits.

That was what she shuddered about!
"Super Cove accelerated and quickly surpassed the Little Chestnut Hat player!"

"Mejiro Aldan followed closely behind, and soon he was in a row with the Super Bay player!"

"Ahead of the two horse girls, Tamamo Cross is still in the lead. The change in her rear position did not cause her to change her tactics. She wants to suppress any opponent who intends to overtake her."

"Inariichi... Inariichi's speed seems to have improved at this moment. There will be further explanation and analysis after the specific data is received again, but for now..."

"She really has sped up, Contestant Inari!"

"It's already the middle to late stages of the race, and going forward, it will be the last leg of the grass stage."

“The finish line of the second stage is approaching, and the final turn that is familiar to the audience can already be seen.”

"Then with the speed of the contestants at the moment, the sprint to the finish line will surely be an extremely exciting competition!"

Although his tone was encouraging, Kitahara looked a little unhappy.

The live commentary came to an end, and as Akikawa Yayoi took over the commentary, he raised his hand and gestured to the chairman.

During the pre-match rehearsal and the preparation stage before that, Kitahara and Akikawa Yayoi discussed that in order to deal with some unexpected situations, they needed to prepare some gestures that would not affect the commentary.

What Kitahara just meant was that after the second stage ends and the final stage begins, the commentary will be handed over to other media.

Yayoi Akikawa has previously granted broadcasting rights to many media outlets, and there are also very professional commentators there. There will be no problem with this switch, and this arrangement is also to deal with the current situation.

He had previously guessed at the changes in Oguruma and the others' mentality, judging that something had happened before the game, or that they were influenced by their predecessors such as Rudo Yuyi, or both.

Regardless of the reason, the current state of this game is no longer as intense as a relay race should be.

After all, they have been training on the beach for a while, and the intensity of the training is higher than usual. It is unlikely that a particularly serious situation will occur after the competition.

But more time for rest is certain, and the horse racing ladies' thoughts will probably change because of this race.

These are exactly what Kitahara is thinking about. He needs to make some preparations in advance and understand the situation of Oguruma and the others in a timely manner.

Perhaps it was a pity that I couldn't personally commentate on the entire race, but compared to the situation of these horse racing ladies, those were not important matters.

Seeing Kitahara's gesture while commenting, Akikawa Yayoi quickly gave a positive response.

As a horse girl who had ridden in the arena before, as well as being the chairman of the board of directors of Central Tresen College, and being very familiar with Kitahara, she was not unaware of the situation in the competition.

Lu Duo represented them in the first part of the competition was fine, she was aware of the grudges between these younger generations in the past, and she was not surprised that when they stepped onto the field again, they turned any game into a continuation of the previous competition.

Although she was surprised at first about the performance of Oguruma and the others, she was no longer surprised soon.

She hopes that all horse girls can have a stage to showcase themselves. This is her dream and what she has been striving for.

But as she continues to work hard to realize this dream, she is also aware of how much idealism and how much reality there is in it.

Horse racing girls need to grow, and this does not just mean physical and ability growth brought about by becoming native or in a certain field, but also mental growth.

How to deal with winning and losing, and your own life. How to face the friends who live and study together when they meet on the field.

How does it feel to want to surpass your friends, your rivals, and yourself?

These are things that a chairman should consider.

All of this can be traced back to the original purpose. As long as there is enough stage, all children can be given enough experience.

After repeated competitions and training, they will gradually understand why they are running and become a dazzling existence that the world will never forget.

But all this takes time, and Oguruma and the others, and even Luduo, who symbolizes them, are just at this point in time.

"I understand. I completely understand what you are thinking right now, Kitahara."

When she said this, Akikawa Yayoi had already finished her commentary and transferred the live audio and video channel to the pre-arranged media.

She was now speaking completely to Kitahara.

"It's great that you noticed this in time. This match of Oguruma and the others was very unusual."

"With all the accumulation and various coincidences, they gradually thought of more things. In a common saying, they grew up."

"As the chairman of Central Tresen College, I will seriously consider these."

"At the same time, you, the team leader, have to pay more attention."

“Training and competition will not just be about exercise and running in the future.”

"...Yes, I know. Thank you for reminding me, Chairman."

The short chairman in front of him looked like an elder and looked very old, which seemed a bit inconsistent, but Kitahara did not look amused at all.

Putting aside his commentary work, he can now focus more on the game and think about what to do next.

"But all this will have to wait until after the game..."

The race was gradually coming to an end, and the team rushed through the last corner with a speed and intensity that was no less than the official competition.

Mubai Aldan felt that in his somewhat blurred vision, only that special end point remained.

His own sister, Meshiro McQueen's figure.

As long as I can create the best start for my sister to win, it will be my victory.

She thought so firmly, and was extremely confident that she could do it now.

In the past, I could respond to my grandmother, mother, and sister with a dignified and appropriate smile, telling them that I could definitely live up to the name of "Meishikuro".

In front of her younger sisters, she always spoke and acted carefully, and set herself the standard to be an excellent role model.

No matter whether she was sick or had to stay in bed, she never relaxed her self-discipline in the slightest.

But deep down, she knew very well that she was not the best "Mejiro Uma Musume."

Mejiro Asama, Mejiro Taitan, Mejiro Takamine... these are the ones who can be called the real "Mejiro Uma Musume", she is just trying her best to not bring shame to this name that symbolizes glory.

She's always felt that way.

My talent is actually not that outstanding, even if I make up for it with hard work.

Physical weakness and fragility of legs and feet also make the road to hard work full of bumps.

Ever since she could remember, she felt as if half of her life had been spent in the hospital, in a sickbed, or recuperating at home.

Such a body is not worthy of bearing the family's honor.

Even at a young age, the McQueen kid had more talent. She had always believed so.

A long time ago, she had had thoughts that made her feel ashamed whenever she thought about them.

She thought that maybe, just like in this relay race, she should just pass the baton to the younger generation, to Mejiro McQueen.

She would definitely do better than herself. That's what she thought at that time.

But she no longer feels that way.

Jealousy and determination, these were the words he said to Oguri before the game, hoping that this teammate would use all his talents to fight with him.

Now she is confident that she can defeat even that kind of Oguri.

I had this thought because of Oguri, Xiaohaiwan, Xiaoyu, Inari and others.

No one has a smooth journey. The Eternal Team seems like a concentration camp for problematic horse girls, with past leg diseases, psychological barriers, tempers... everyone seems to have had a rough past of one kind or another.

But no matter who they are, no one gave up, and everyone has come to where they are today, becoming increasingly dazzling horse racing girls.

So rather than jealousy or determination, what she really wanted to say was gratitude.

Thanks to her companions who have been with her all the way to the present, she feels that her decision is absolutely correct.

If there is a goal you want to reach, even if it is a fleeting brilliance, even if it is just a momentary brilliance, it is worth striving for everything.

That kind of brilliance should no longer have anything to do with winning or losing. As long as you rush towards the goal you want, the brilliance that shines in the process is enough.

Perhaps, this is the true fate of the "Mejiro family's horse girl".

"The first to complete the handover of the race were... Mejiro Aldan and Mejiro McQueen! Thanks to the efforts of his teammate and sister, Mejiro McQueen had a great start!"

"Following closely behind... is Miura Bourbon! The two horse girls completed the relay almost at the same time and rushed out of the relay zone at the same time!"

After rushing through the relay area, Mejiro Aldan realized what she had just heard, and she quickly realized that the commentators seemed to be no longer Kitahara and Akikawa Yayoi as initially confirmed, but someone else.

What is this...? She was confused for a moment, but soon she heard the person she was thinking of calling out.

"Hey, Aldan, how are you feeling?"

Subconsciously looking in the direction of the voice, she saw two figures, one tall and one short, rushing towards her.

The tall one is Chief Kitahara, the short one is Chairman Akikawa, and it was Kitahara who spoke just now.

“Haa…haaa…I…I’m fine…”

As soon as he said these breathless words, Mubai Aldan realized how incredibly tired he was all over.

She didn't feel any other discomfort, but she was still very shocked. She had never expected that this relay race, which could not be compared with the Shining Series in any way, would make her so tired.

"It sounds like she's just tired... but she still needs to be checked out. Aldan, take a slow walk for a while to catch your breath. I'll go check on Oguri and the others."

Kitahara's words made Aldan understand why the chief came here suddenly, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart for his concern.

Then, she subconsciously wanted to look at her companions, but heard an expected strange call from there.

“Haha…Uncle…Come and take a look…”

Tamamo Cross's voice also sounded breathless, but fortunately the content was still clear.

"O-Oguri... she's become so strange..."

"Just like dough... no matter how I knead it or how I squeeze it... she, she doesn't react..."

"It seems like he is completely stunned..."
