Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 306 Can I get closer? ! Can I escape? !

Hehe, everyone looks surprised, whether it's the commentators, the audience, or the opponents...

Speeding on the track, firmly occupying the second position and absorbing the wake of the leader in front, Tamamo Cross leisurely paid attention to the environment of the stadium.

All the surprises to her and the entire game were within her expectations.

This was the tactic she came up with after discussing it with Komiyayama and Kitahara.

It's the front collar.

It looks completely different from his previous style, and it's very counterintuitive, so it's hard to win.

She has always been at the back, ever since her debut.

At the beginning, it was because her body size was relatively small among all the horse girls.

Getting caught up in a battle for position too early, or getting caught up in the crowds of a large group, will make your already weak physical strength even worse.

Later, because of the accident, this avoidance was exacerbated.

Later, after training and treatment, he was no longer psychologically afraid, and the special training after the trip to Europe also strengthened his ability to deal with collisions.

However, due to long-term lag and pursuit, in actual combat it is still customary to run behind and try to avoid being surrounded as much as possible.

This kind of running tactics has won many games.

But, what about this game?
What about the many games to come?
In the future, will it not only be a Japanese competition, but also a world competition?
Is it right, good, and the way to win if you just run like that all the time?
That’s right, when I first stepped onto the field, my purpose was to earn living expenses and tuition for my younger siblings, so that my grandfather wouldn’t have to work so hard and my parents would be very happy.

All of these have now been accomplished, and I have earned a lot of bonuses.

I still have some random shares or something from that uncle, and it seems that even if I retire now, I can just lie down and get a lot of money for free.

But, is that what we want?
Absolutely not!

I suddenly feel that it was a pity that I missed the classic treble last year.

If we were who we are now, we could definitely win three championships like Oguri, or even like President Chiaki and the others, or even win three championships without losing.

Absolutely, for sure!

Now that we can’t win the Classic Triple Crown…

This is the Emperor's autumn viewing.

The following is the Japan Cup, Arima Kinen.

There will also be the Emperor's spring viewing and the Takarazuka Memorial next year.

All of these want to win!
There are also the Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup...

As long as it’s a competition, I want to win!

I am no longer the kid who was complacent about being 1 second faster than last week!

We are what the old man said, the most amazing horse racing girl he has ever seen!
How can we, as people like us, be dragged down by just running skills and a few victories?
As long as we can win, as long as we can do it, what difference does it make whether we chase from behind, make a difference, lead from the front, or escape!
Both Komiya-san and the uncle from Kitahara said that although it is risky to be in the front, it is not impossible with our abilities...

That's now!
Let you and everyone see what kind of horse racing girl I am!

The resolute determination gave rise to unimaginable strength in the hot body.

Almost as if dizzying, the cherry blossom decoration and color matching winning uniform that was so close in front of me disappeared in an instant.

No, it's not disappearing...

But we overtook them!
The stadium was boiling with excitement, and the commentators were a little confused, as this match was far more exciting than any other before.

"Contestant Inari may be anxious during the competition...Ah——!"

Before he could finish explaining Inariichi's situation, there was a scream and the commentator broke into a voice: "Is Tamamo Cross also getting anxious?!"

"We just entered the third turn. There is still a whole big bend and the fourth turn, and the final straight..."

"Tamamo Cross chose to speed up here!"

“It’s totally unpredictable and impossible to judge!”

"What kind of timing is this? Accelerating from this position can allow you to overtake the first place in one go, but it requires a very high level of control over the subsequent rhythm!"

"The purpose of the lead run is to adjust the rhythm in the final big bend and properly allocate the remaining energy from the start of the race, so that you have enough chances to win."

"However, if Tamamo Cross accelerates at this moment, adjusting the rhythm will make the speed difference too big and consume too much energy."

"She won't be able to finish the race normally this way!"

"She's about to stall!"

“Is this really the right choice?!”

"Is this the strategy that was planned from the beginning?!"

"This... Oh, right! Mr. Kitahara, is this the running tactic that the Eternal Club planned in advance?"

The commentator was obviously a little anxious. As one of the coaches and trainers of the participating horse girls, Kitahara felt awkward at whatever he said.

If he confirmed the explanation, it would undoubtedly reveal his own Umamusume's plan to the whole audience.

When horse girls are concentrating on the competition, they will be less aware of the external environment.

But it does not mean there is no reaction at all. If there is no reaction at all and you are not sensitive enough to the game, it is easy to misjudge the situation and miss the opportunity to win.

Therefore, if the commentary can be heard by the players, it will inevitably affect the chances of Umamusume's victory.

It's not impossible to deny it, but as a special guest at the race, lying in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators and the horse girls will obviously affect his reputation.

This goes against the original intention of Akikawa Yayoi and the association in arranging this event.

Ambiguity is a good choice.

But the changes on the field were fleeting, and there was no rehearsal for this kind of thing in advance. Even though he had rich experience, Kitahara was stunned for a long time after hearing the commentary, and couldn't think of what to say.

However, there was a response to the commentator's negligence.

"Of course, the tactics of the Eternal Club cannot be revealed at this time, but I am quite familiar with Eternal Club, and I do have some opinions."

Taking the initiative to take over the topic, Maruzenski smiled into the microphone and said, "Whether it is a tactic planned in advance or not, it doesn't really matter."

"Competition is about exerting all your abilities within a limited time."

"As long as the speed is fast enough and the physical strength is enough."

"Then just keep coming in first."

"Is there anything strange?"

Originally in the rehearsal, there was no arrangement for Maruzenski to insert himself into the commentary.

As she herself said, she is very familiar with the Eternal Club, and can easily reveal the running tactics of Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi by confirming, denying or analyzing.

But her ability to respond to situations at this moment was quite good, especially her way of speaking, which was most suitable for only her to say.

Because when she was in the military, she simply ran fast, came in first place throughout the race, and then won.

"Indeed, that's true."

Finally realizing that he seemed to have messed up something, the commentator hesitated for a moment, but fortunately his basic skills were solid and he adjusted quickly.

"As President Maruzenski said, this may be the tactic adopted by Tamamo Cross."

"Don't skimp on your stamina and speed. Use your power to the fullest. From now on, we'll lead the way all the way to the end."

"The previous second place in the opening round should be a test of the opponent."

"Now she has tried it out clearly and has no reservations."

“As long as we stay in first place and keep doing it, we will win without a doubt.”

"It seems that this should be the tactic."

“The horse racing ladies at the back seemed to realize this as well, and the team’s overall speed seemed to increase.”

“But I’m still a little hesitant.”

“The order of rank has changed.”

"Confirm." "The team is currently between the third and fourth turns."

"The one leading is Tamamo Cross. She is 2 lengths... 3 lengths ahead."

"The second one is the Sakura Star King who just took the lead."

"Then came the Akitsu Emperor and the Track King. The Track King caught up."

"Golden City and Sakura Chiyo are slightly behind. It seems that they were unable to hold on in the previous battle for the lead."

"Further back is the advance troops. Emperor Akitsu is completely behind the advance troops, which seems to be very disadvantageous to her."

"Then there's the symbol of Sirius, the brave Viking, the female character of Dinah, second to none...ah."

"The top runner seems to have lost speed, and it looks like the impact of the leak has not been completely eliminated."

"Her stalling has had an impact on the horse girls behind her."

"The one who was most affected seemed to be Yae Mugen. She had been moving a little further back in the inner lane, and the top player pushed her inwards...ah——!"

This may be the game with the most commentary errors this year.

The most obvious thing is to accidentally ask an inappropriate guest during the rehearsal.

The second is being startled from time to time.

But the audience didn't pay much attention to the previous slip of the tongue, because Maruzenski improvised and gave the most appropriate response.

I didn't pay much attention to the previous shock because I was attracted by the shocking contrast of Tamamo Cross.

I didn't pay attention this time either.

Because, Inariichi, caught up.

He was also a short man, but in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators, it was as if they saw the Tamamo Cross suddenly move from the front to the back.

Then, like lightning that splits everything, it chased after the first one from the back with force like thunder.

But this is Inariichi, the Inariichi who has the nickname "Inazuma Fox Spirit".

Then, just like a fox that was crawling in deep sleep, it opened its enchanting eyes, raised its long tail, and prepared to hunt.

The prey has been found, and anything that stands in the way will be torn apart.

It was a momentary illusion, and this was the scene that the audience in the Tokyo stadium, who were cheering at the top of their lungs, saw.

However, what is strange is that what Inari was wearing today was a purple kimono.

In that moment of illusion, as if to cater to the name of this game, it was filled with golden brilliance that symbolized a good harvest.

Then, like a ray of sunlight shining on the endless golden rice waves, or like the flame of a legendary fox demon, or a strange pure golden light, it drew a perfect arc on the side bend of the inner grass track of the Tokyo Stadium.

"Inariichi... is coming up?!!"

The narrator finally said what she saw after screaming, but she didn't believe what she saw at all, and her screams were full of disbelief.

The hundreds of thousands of spectators present also felt it was unbelievable.

Because it only takes a few breaths, about three to five seconds, or about five to seven seconds. In short, it is definitely not very long.

In such a short period of time, Inari Ichi, who had been lagging behind in the last place, surpassed almost all the opponents in front of him in one breath, replaced Sakura Star King, and became the second place in the normal competition.

The speed was so amazing and weird that the commentator and the audience thought it was not real for a moment.

Or maybe the horse girl who surpassed 16 opponents in one go was running a race in a completely different dimension.

"Inari is coming!"

"She's coming!"

"She totally rushed up!"

"Second place! She's in second place now!"

"I surpassed 16 opponents in one go. It's incredible, unprecedented!"

"Her target is Tamamo Cross! It must be Tamamo Cross!"

"Although there is still distance, although there is still distance to Tamamo Cross, the distance should be continuously shortening!"

"This is no longer a competition from one dimension! This is no longer a competition from one plane!"

"After several duels in the past, the two players at the front are now in a one-on-one duel!"

"Although we haven't reached the stage of being side by side yet and there is still some distance between us, it will definitely be like this!"

“The bend is about to end!”

“The bend is about to end!”

"The first one to rush out of the corner is undoubtedly Tamamo Cross!"

"The second person to come out of the corner is undoubtedly Inari Ichi!"

"Is there any Uma Musume I can catch up with?"

"Maybe not!"

"Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi have entered the final straight line one after another!"

“The players behind are only now entering the curve!”

"It's really a one-on-one situation!"

"It's getting closer and closer!"

"Although we are still not side by side, there are only 3 horse lengths left between us... only 2 horse lengths left!"

"Can you get closer?!"

"Can you get any closer?! Inari-ichi?!"

"Can you escape?!"

"Can you run faster?!"

"Can you hold on and not be caught up until the finish line?! Tamamo Cross?!"

It has to be said that despite the many verbal gaffes and screams in this game, this commentator undoubtedly did a competent job.

He completely grasped the most attractive point of the live broadcast, expressing the situation and the audience's expected cheers in one breath, bringing the entire stadium to its climax since the start of the game today.

Perhaps, there is no need for commentary, as the audience's emotions have reached the highest point of the game so far.

Most of them were staring at the two short guys in the front, shouting at the top of their lungs.

A very small number of people completely held their breath, covered their lips tightly, and widened their eyes. One extra breath in their life could affect the outcome of a fight dozens or even hundreds of meters away.

And on the track, there were also horse racing girls who were almost unable to breathe.

Haha… I entered a new area using the method Alang mentioned, but…

It's too strenuous...

Do we want to enter the original field?

No!

It’s not time yet!
Xiaoyu hasn't made any move yet, I can't be so impatient.

I had predicted with Alang that there would be changes in Xiaoyu's game. Since I guessed this...

Then, be patient and enter the original territory at the same time as Xiaoyu to win...

There is nothing wrong with this!
Come on, Xiaoyu...

Let me see how long you can endure!
He resisted the urge to use the domain to eliminate his fatigue and surpass Tamamo Cross in one breath, staring straight ahead.

As if seeing prey, Inari gritted his teeth and slowly grinned.
