Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 267 Preparing for the Thanksgiving Festival

It is not difficult to hold a "Youth Version of the Japan Cup", at least there will be no problem in this regard in Japan.

As for the contestants, there is naturally no shortage of horse girls.

Even under the current concepts, many trainers and parents are still conservative when it comes to debuts and competitions, but there are still some who are willing to participate in the competitions.

Especially with the precedent of the relay race in which the East China Sea Emperor and his companions participated, the number of horse girls who want to show their strength and talent is still considerable.

What’s interesting is that no matter whether they readily agreed to the inquiry from Kitahara or took the initiative to consult or even submitted an application to join the club, these horse girls are basically well-known geniuses in the parallel dimension.

Kitahara initially thought this might just be a coincidence, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might be inevitable.

If you want to excel in your career, you must have a strong will.

No matter how thoroughly prepared a competition is, the risk of unexpected events always exists.

This is true whether it is the most advanced region in the world or the future world.

You want results but you also want to avoid any risks. But if you hesitate before doing anything, you will lose in terms of morale.

It is easy to imagine that a horse racing girl with this mentality would inevitably retreat for a moment if faced with the fierce situation of fighting for early position and the final sprint.

And in Uma Musume competitions, a moment of retreat is enough to decide the outcome.

The quantity is sufficient and there is no need to worry about the quality.

In fact, the fact that the horse girl Donghai Emperor was able to win the first Japan Cup, which was upgraded to international G1, in a parallel dimension can be regarded as a guaranteed quality.

What's more, among the horse girls of the same period as her, there are also players with sufficient strength.

It is true that after Ludo won the Japan Cup in 85, the championships of the six Japan Cups were won by foreign players.

However, starting with the Emperor of the East Sea, the three consecutive Japan Cup champions were all Japanese horse girls.

The 93 Japan Cup champions, Former World and East Sea Emperor, were from the same class.

The 94 Japan Cup champion Beautiful Crown is only one year younger than the East China Sea Emperor.

If we deliberately arrange for these three horse girls to participate in the "Youth Edition of Japan Cup", there will be no doubt that Japan's winning rate will be guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, the development status, competition status, and competition experience of the players in the two worlds are different. If you really want to arrange a competition, you need a lot of preparation.

Moreover, if we really want to officially hold this competition, we need the cooperation of Yongwu and Tresen College in Europe, as well as Seattle Slalom and other colleges in the United States that will come later.

Ruduo's communication on this aspect symbolized that they had started working on it a long time ago.

The day after the Winning Live and the dinner, the Student Union started making cross-border connections.

Not only are they in contact, they are also analyzing the "Youth Cup" plan proposed by Kitahara.

"...You said, Kitahara..."

After reading the thick stack of business plans over and over again, Lu Duo looked around at his colleagues and friends in the office with a complicated expression.

"Could it be possible... that there really is a talent like our horse girl?"

"For example, someone like Chairman Akikawa who can see the talent of horse girls?"

"Even going one step further than Chairman Akikawa?"

At the side, Maruzenski was also flipping through the project plan in her hands. When she heard Luduo's question, she looked over.

"You're exaggerating, Luduo. If he really has such an exaggerated ability, we should just listen to him in the future."

She smiled and looked back at her hands, her expression surprised. "But then again..."

"To have compiled so many talented horse girls without realizing it, Kitahara's ability is really too exaggerated."

"I originally thought that it was quite a lot to have so many generations of outstanding successors, including Emperor, McQueen, Bairen, Xiaote, and Good Opera."

"Judging from their current data in all aspects, even without the training methods of the Eternal Club, they will be able to grow into the top horse girls of the generation in the future."

"If they receive more training from Kitahara in the future, I can't imagine what level they will reach in the future."

"but……"

She took out a densely written list from the project plan and showed it to everyone around her.

"There are more than 40 horse girls on the list who are no less skilled than the horse girls who participated in the previous relay race. Tell me, how did Kitahara do it?"

"And there are more than forty of them."

"This doesn't even include the group of Xiao Te and the group of good operas."

"Not counting these two groups, we can still find more than 40 younger generations with such outstanding talents..."

"He doesn't want to start the 'Youth Cup' at all."

"He wants to start a new series of 'Eight Great Races' in addition to the Shining Star Series, right?"

Hearing Maruzenski's sigh, Ludo smiled with an encouraging but helpless look.

"Maybe, to be honest..."

She sighed, "I know he has always had great ambitions."

"But I never expected him to be so ambitious."

"Another set of 'Eight Great Races'... I doubt he really meant it that way."

"More importantly..."

She took out the list from her own hand and took a deep breath.

“He really has this ability.”

"If we follow his most complete competition plan to hold the subsequent 'College Appreciation Festival', I'm afraid that Central Tresen College will really become a classic competition venue that day."

"Isn't that nice?"

Katsuragi Ace suddenly said with great interest: "Didn't you always want this, Luduo?"

“I want more competitions and more stages so that more young people can show their talents in front of the world.”

"Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

"Why are you being so nagging now that there is hope?"

"How can I be called a nagging mother-in-law..."

"Katsuragi, you haven't been coming to the student council to help out much. There are many things that are not clear to you."

Lu Duo just gave an explanation with a helpless look, and on the other side, Qian Ming spoke up to help out.

"Luduo has indeed always dreamed of participating in these competitions. Not only her, I think any horse racing girl would not refuse such a competition."

Waving the project plan in his hand, Qian Ming representative said in a deep voice, showing a rare lack of his usual free-spirited temperament:
"But dreams are not something that can be achieved overnight."

"Even if we assume that Kitahara has enough manpower to complete the training arrangements, it is not certain that they will be able to coordinate well at the 'school festival'."

"'School Festival' itself has a lot of external programs. In order to ensure the visiting experience of all guests, we may not have enough manpower to prepare too many competitions."

"More than 40 horse racing girls. If Europe and the United States agree to send students to participate, the number will be even greater."

"If it is confirmed that there are 50 or even 60 or more participants who can participate, according to the current normal competition conditions, it will be enough to hold six official competitions."

"Under the format of the Shining Series, six games can be spread out to fill up a whole day."

"So, even if the project that Luduo just talked about is very tempting, now is not the right time."

"Is that so? What a pity..." Shaking his head regretfully, Katsuragi Ace suddenly changed his expression, "Oh, by the way, how about we divide the project into two days?"

"And if there is a shortage of manpower, can we apply to the board of directors and the association?"

"Well..."

Subconsciously exchanging a glance with Luduo and Maruzen, Representative Qianming smiled bitterly and spread his hands, saying, "Do you think the school rules set by the board of directors don't exist?"

"The 'Thanksgiving Festival' needs to be scheduled on weekends or holidays to ensure that guests have time to come."

"Many of the tour items have been confirmed in advance according to conventions, and changes or adjustments are not allowed."

"As for the applicant's hand..."

She spread her hands wider and shrugged unconsciously.

"Katsuragi, don't you know that the association has always been very conservative about the establishment of the club in Kitahara and this 'Youth Cup'?"

"Conservative... Well, it seems that I can only choose from the remaining few options."

Shaking his head with a bit of regret, Katsuragi Ace fiddled with the project plan assigned to him and gradually became curious.

“I looked at it and felt that the other options were all very good.”

"For example, it can be simply divided into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, one for entertainment and one for formality."

"I'll just look at this."

"There are others too."

"But I still think the first plan is the most attractive. It's a pity that such a good plan cannot be implemented."

Shaking her head again, she began to think, "Hey, do you think Beiyuan knows that the plan is not feasible?"

"If you knew, why did you let it out? To tempt us?"

"I think Mr. Kitahara probably knows."

The one who responded to Katsuragi's Ace this time was Mejiro Takamine, who had been drinking coffee in silence until then.

At this moment, she picked up her coffee, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the Student Union Office, and looked towards the training ground.

It was training time at the moment, and she took a sip of coffee while looking at the students running on the lawn.

"As for temptation or something, that's not his character."

“He probably wants to show it off.”

"Show us what Luduo's ambition really is."

After quietly gazing at the training ground for a while, Mejiro Takamine turned his head.

"I think, don't worry, that day will come sooner or later."

"Now..."

She changed the subject, "I tend to agree with Katsuragi's opinion."

"One in the morning and one in the afternoon would be better, and it would be easier to arrange everything."

"If everyone agrees with this plan, we should talk to Yongwu and Seattle Revolve next."

While the student union was discussing the competition plan proposed by Kitahara, the situation at the Eternal Club was completely different.

"Oh! What a big, spacious, and strange house."

Standing in the middle of a huge living room, Oguruma looked around and made a curious sound, "Kitahara, what's going on here?"

"The Eternal Club's temporary activity center."

Kitahara also looked around and replied with a smile, "This was originally the office area for the staff of the Hongo dormitory area."

"At that time, the Ritto Dormitory and Miho Dormitory had not yet been built, and there were a lot of staff here."

“After the new dormitory was built, this place became relatively idle.”

"I thought before that if you want to have fun and relax outside of training, you may not want to run too far sometimes."

“And there are relatively few recreational facilities within the college.”

"So I asked Miss Tezuna to see if there is a suitable place to convert it into a rest center."

"Then Miss Tetsuna arranged for people to transform this place into this, and Ms. Kurokawa also provided a lot of help."

After explaining the situation here, he pointed to the various areas and rooms in the activity center and began to explain.

"This side is the dining room, the back is the large kitchen, and the front is a small kitchen."

"You all like to eat, so the restaurant and kitchen should be larger."

"Then this is the leisure area, you can play board games, console games and so on here."

"That room over there is a small screening room where you can watch movies or games."

“You can watch the game outside, too. The TV on that wall is big enough.”

"The innermost part is the lounge and study, which can also be used as a small library."

"If you don't want to do your homework at school, you can come here and do it."

"Anyway, the distance between the two sides is not that far."

The Hongo dormitory area is built next to the Central College. It was formerly the college's main dormitory area. Maruzenski lived here when he was in service and has not moved out yet.

Kitahara felt that this was also a factor that Junchuan Tezuna took into consideration.

It is close to the academy and there is a senior who is the vice president who is often here, so if trainers like Kitahara are too busy, they don’t have to worry about not being able to take care of Oguruma and the others.

Today, Kitahara brought these horse racing ladies here, and in addition to introducing this activity center, he also had plans for the "Thanksgiving Festival" to talk to them about.

"Okay, if you want to go play board games or watch a movie or something, just wait a minute."

While he was introducing, several horse girls had already run over to play out of curiosity. Kitahara clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the horse girls, and then waved his hands.

"You don't have to come. This is not a training or competition meeting. You will have rest days in the next few days. It's better to relax."

After saying this with a smile, he paused.

"You all should know about the academy's thanksgiving festival in a while, right?"

"According to tradition, there will be many programs and activities at the Thanksgiving Festival."

"Some of them have been held in the past, such as the basketball championship and the dodgeball championship."

“And some of them just started this year.”

"For example, the eating contest we organized at the orientation ceremony was very effective."

"So there will be a 'big stomach derby' at this thanksgiving festival..."

"Alright, Xiaolimao, Tebizhou, and Miyu, I've signed you up, so the three of you should wipe your saliva."

"Then there is the competition I proposed, which should also be passed."

"So now I want to ask you what project you want to participate in, and I will sign you up."
