Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 300: No Thought of Letting Go

Although he expressed some dissatisfaction with Oguri's lazy performance, Tamamo Cross knew very well in his heart that his good friend must be as worried about the upcoming game as he is.

Uma girls' races are full of possibilities. No matter how strong you are, you can't be confident of winning before the race. It's just that when you are worried about this, different horse girls will behave differently.

For example, in order to avoid making everyone worry, I try to behave as normally as possible, such as in my appetite.

She didn't have a good appetite when she was very young. When she ate with her brothers and sisters at the old man's house, she ate the least, which made the old man worried a lot.

When she arrived at Central Tresen College and learned that she could eat for free in the cafeteria with no limit on the amount, she was incredulous at first.

I even had to be fed several meals by Super Bay because of this. Thinking about it now, it’s really embarrassing.

Although my appetite has increased a lot now after adjustment, I still eat less unconsciously when I am worried about something.

Normally, few people would notice a change in appetite of that magnitude, but I didn't expect that Ogurimao was so sensitive in this regard.

If I think about it carefully, the first person to notice my situation, apart from Katsumi Komiyama who knew about the situation from the beginning, should be Oguruma.

Afterwards, whether it was the uncle Beiyuan or President Luduo, it should be because of his good friend.

Later on, President Luduo miraculously became smaller, and there were some sudden matches tonight, all for the same reason.

Thinking of this, Tamamo Cross couldn't help but laugh.

Really, I am worried about the upcoming chrysanthemum viewing and even want to try some new running methods, but I still care about my business...

And President Luduo, Senior Hiruzen, really, one by one...

Well, in order to respond to everyone’s concern, we must do our best!
His eyes suddenly focused, and after overtaking Oguruma, at the moment of turning into the branch line at the last bend, Tamamo Cross adjusted his pace and suddenly cut diagonally towards the inner lane.

She wanted to surpass the two seniors in front of her in one breath from the position closest to the inner lane.

After that, he held on to the first place until the finish line.

This was the tactic that had been thought of before the training match began, and it was also a tactic considered for the Emperor to enjoy the autumn scenery.

This tactic was not thought of when Tianqiu was first preparing, but was a vague idea after the relay race on the day of the Thanksgiving Festival.

In that game, she had never expected that the new winning suit that Uncle Kitahara prepared on a whim could actually have the same effect of improving strength as the original one.

What I didn't expect was that with the help of the new decisive server, I would be able to enter a completely different field in a competition that was completely different from the past.

The uncle explained the reason later during training, and she could understand it.

But compared to principles or something, she cares more about the experience she gets after entering a new field.

It is difficult to describe what that feeling is like, and I have never had this feeling in my previous field, but there is no doubt that my former self would have found it difficult to accomplish the straight line cut into the inner lane that I want now.

My body shape is not an advantage.

Being small not only means lack of strength and pace, but also some disadvantages in fighting for positioning.

It would be fine if there is no collision when cutting in, but once you touch the opponent, it is hard to say what will happen to the opponent, and you will definitely lose some physical strength and speed.

Therefore, even though she had included collision resistance in her daily training since the start of her trip to Europe, given her physical disadvantage, neither she herself, nor Katsumi Komiyama and Uncle Kitahara were in favor of her taking the initiative to enter into such a situation.

However, after experiencing the new field, she felt that she had new experience in catching up and adjusting her pace, especially in the ability to cut in.

Faintly, when I was about to do this, the intense game scene in my eyes appeared as if it was marked by a laser, and a very dazzling light appeared.

As long as we rush along that line of light, we will definitely be able to make the cut.

And after rushing into the straight line, she actually did it.

Glancing at Little Luduo and Hinamikura Yingjia outside, and seeing the slightly surprised expressions on their faces, Tamamo Cross couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

very good!

Although she had told Komiya about this idea, she was still a little hesitant.

I happened to run this with the president and my seniors today, and it seemed to be very effective.

Then after winning this training match, I'll go talk to her...

The train of thought came to an abrupt end here, and it was visible to the naked eye that the speed of the two predecessors gradually increased.

No, that's not right, it's not a gradual improvement.

Instead, when they were about halfway through the turn, they started to accelerate in order to end Oguruma's lead in the rhythm.

Now the acceleration effect is just gradually showing up.

Uh, hehe, it seems like it was a little too early to be happy just now...

But, it doesn’t matter…

It’s also a good time to make the final move!
Fighting with two strong men, the president and senior Hinamura, can be considered as practicing in advance for the Emperor's autumn viewing!
He stomped the ground without hesitation and gained a certain advantage by cutting in at the right time. Tamamo Cross gritted his teeth and rushed towards the increasingly close finish line with all his strength.

While Tamamo Cross was sprinting, Xiao Luduo and Hinamikura, who had already accelerated through the curve and adjusted their state to a higher speed in advance, were not to be outdone and also gradually entered the sprint state.

One is called "Emperor" and the other is called "Mile Emperor", and the level of their feet is top-notch in their generation.

Therefore, even though the juniors unexpectedly took the lead, the two horse girls did not let the gap widen at all, and there was a tendency to close it.

Just as the three horse girls were sprinting forward one after another, the sound of their last kicks, which was almost as powerful, rang out heavily behind them.

...As expected of Oguruma, even after wasting so much energy, he still has the strength to sprint...

The same thought emerged in the minds of Tamamo Cross, Little Rudo and Hinamikura Winner, and then, in tacit understanding, the three horse girls once again poured their strength into their legs.

The intensity of the training increased instantly. Even though there was no screen broadcast, the students watching on both sides could feel the intensity of it. They were all excited and shocked at the same time.

At the finish line, even though they could only see the front and couldn't quite judge the distance difference, horse girls like Emperor Donghai were equally excited and could still roughly judge the order.

"Wow... Is Senior Xiaoyu so amazing? He was able to grab the first place when the president was ahead..."

"Oguri-senpai is also very strong. I feel like she will lose speed after the turn, right? After all, she is not good at taking the lead. But anyway, this last-minute ability..."

"I want to run together."

"Ah...? This... Bourbon, isn't it too difficult for us to run with the seniors..."

“Um…everyone pay attention, I forgot to press the stopwatch before, everyone please don’t forget to press it…” After Jingchun Wulala’s reminder, the other horse racing girls seemed to wake up instantly, and they either looked at their mobile phones or the stopwatch, and then looked at the track nervously, for fear of missing the time when their predecessors crossed the finish line.

And during this moment of panic, the sound of extremely fast footsteps on the track was gradually approaching.

They looked over in panic again. Relying on their experience from practice and their impressions of the trainers' actions, the female racehorses who had little racing experience stared closely at their predecessors and pressed the stopwatch one by one in the strong winds brought by the finish line.

“第、第一位2分04秒5！之后是2分04点7，2分05点2，2分12！”

As if to make up for the negligence of not pressing the stopwatch before, Haru Lala stretched her neck and watched her predecessors cross the finish line eagerly. Then, she quickly put her head in front of Mejiro McQueen's phone and reported the data displayed on it.

On the other side, the Emperor of the East China Sea could not help but cheer.

"Great! You are worthy of being the guild leader! You managed to rush to first place at the last moment! That's amazing!"

She rushed to little Luduo almost as if she jumped over and hugged him.

The result of the training match just now was that the symbol of Luduo rushed to the front of Tamamo Cross in the last hundred meters.

However, although she came in first, little Luduo was not happy. She instinctively patted the arm of the East China Sea Emperor with her backhand. With satisfaction and emotion, she looked at the Tamamo Cross behind her.

“2分04秒5……2分04秒7……”

She murmured softly, repeating the data she had just heard, and then looked at Mejiro McQueen, "Is that so?"

As she crossed the finish line, she was so focused on the race that she worried that the data she heard wasn't quite accurate.

Mejiro McQueen happened to walk over here, followed by Miura Bourbon and Mi Yu who was holding a stopwatch.

"My data is indeed like this, but..." Mebai McQueen looked at Mi Yu, "The stopwatch in Mi Yu's hand may be more accurate than my phone."

"Mi Yu's data is similar," Mi Yu nodded, holding up the stopwatch.

"That's it..."

Nodding, and looking at the Tamamo Cross again, Little Luduo sighed, "It was only 0 seconds off, I didn't have the intention of letting you win before..."

Suddenly he laughed again, "Isn't that a bit too arrogant? After all, Xiaoyu, you are the top horse girl of this generation. I have tried my best to win against you."

"Don't you agree, Hiruzen-senpai?" She looked at the Hiruzen winner again.

"Well, don't talk to me. I'm really upset after losing to Luduo again."

Although he said this, the winner of the game, Hikari, had a smile on his face. "Well, you're right. I didn't intend to hold back either. As a result, I not only lost to you again, but also lost to such an outstanding junior."

Smiling, she walked over and touched Tamamo Cross's head, "It seems that I am really an outdated senior."

"Hey, hey, even though you're my senior, Hiruzen-senpai, you shouldn't touch my head so carelessly!"

Somewhat dissatisfied, he slapped the hand of the winner of the Hinamikura, puffed up his cheeks, and then crossed his arms, looking a little amused, his eyes wandering between the winner of the Hinamikura and little Luduo.

"Besides, don't think we don't know. The two seniors didn't really try their best, did they? It was just their training level."

"With your abilities, if you two try your best, there's no way your final score could be less than 2 minutes."

As the top horse racing ladies of their generation, they are very sensitive to time.

The race schedule of the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Race is a fixed 2000-meter race. In previous competitions, as long as the field conditions were not bad or heavy and would not affect the performance, the finishing time of the top three was basically within the 2-minute standard, with a margin of error of no more than 3 seconds.

Judging from the pace, 2 minutes to complete 2000 meters is exactly 16.67 meters per second. If it is slower than this speed, it is almost impossible to win the G1 award in the eight major race walking levels.

However, in training matches, it is generally difficult to finish the game that quickly.

On the one hand, it is to avoid excessive muscle damage. On the other hand, the training environment is not as lively as a competition, which will still affect subtle factors such as the desire to win.

Therefore, the time spent in training is often a little slower than that in the actual competition. Of course, there are some times when it is faster, but they are fewer.

However, even if the training is slower, it can’t be too much slower…

After muttering to himself and chatting with Ludor Symbol and Hikari Winner, Tamamo Cross looked behind him.

After taking a few steps, she bent down slightly, resting her hands on her knees and tilting her head slightly, and she said with some concern: "Hey, Xiaoli, are you okay?"

Oguruma was also leaning on her knees. Compared to her opponents who were in good shape after running a training match, she was obviously much more out of breath and sweating more.

But his overall breath was still stable. Hearing Tamamo Cross's concern, Oguruma stood up, stretched his body, wiped the sweat off his face, and smiled bitterly.

"Well, it's okay... It seems that my idea is totally unsuccessful."

"The idea... is it about leading this tactic?" Tamamo Cross thought for a moment and asked.

"Hey? Xiaoyu, how did you know...? I just thought of it during the competition." Xiaolimao asked puzzled.

"Well, that's for sure."

Seeing that nothing was wrong with Oguruma, he straightened up, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands. Tamamo Cross smiled and looked at Xiao Luduo and Hinamikaze Winner not far away, and then at the descendants of the East China Sea Emperor.

"I'm afraid it's not just us. The seniors and juniors should have discovered it too."

"It's for the chrysanthemum viewing. Do you want to make some special preparations?"

After hesitating for a moment, Oguruma nodded and grabbed his collar, "Well... as for me, although I have worked very hard in training, I always feel that I may still be a little short of winning the Chrysanthemum Contest..."

"Yes, even you who have won all the way until now are worried. It's not surprising that we are worried about the Emperor's autumn appreciation during this period, right?"

Smiling, as if fulfilling his promise, Tamamo Cross suddenly started talking about his own affairs.

"That's right, just like you, the president, Hiruma-senpai, and uncle guessed and worried about. What we are worried about is indeed the outcome of the Emperor's autumn viewing event."

"Just like you, I wanted to try some new tactics for the next game, but unfortunately I couldn't beat President Luduo."

"There are also matters concerning the old man and the sisters."

"...sisters' matters?" Xiaolimao was a little confused. "Xiaoyu's sister..."

"Well, the children that the old man adopted or took care of," Tamamo Cross said with a bit of helplessness and regret, "many of them are horse girls like us."

“There are also some very lucky ones who were admitted to Central Tresen College.”

"But unfortunately, I remember it was you, Oguri, who said that the competition between us is very cruel. That's right. So, not long ago, a sister couldn't adapt to the training and competition here and withdrew..."
