Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 311: Like Being Drained

All in all, I was inexplicably dragged by Maruzenski for a speeding ride.

He forgot what time he got off the bus, but the feeling of his legs going weak after getting off was still fresh in Beiyuan's memory until he woke up the next day.

This somewhat affected the training instructions on the next day. After standing on the training ground for a whole day, Kitahara himself felt his legs were a little weak and his temples were a little swollen.

This would have been absolutely impossible before. He never slacked off in physical training, and persisted in getting up early and training late at night.

It's not that I want to train to be able to run as fast as the horse girls, that is definitely impossible, but it's for the purpose of being like now, where I have to stand and trot all day long, going back and forth to check on the special training status of each horse girl.

Even the physical fitness of those who kept training like this could hardly bear it, which shows how free Maruzenski's driving skills were last night.

I couldn't help but look helplessly at the track. Coincidentally, the horse racing girl with brown hair and blue eyes was jogging and also looked over here.

As if she could see that he was not feeling well at the moment, she smiled apologetically and continued jogging.

Maruzenski has now officially joined the club's training to the standard of the Shining Series.

It was not the overseas visitors to Japan who requested the competition.

However, it is not difficult to guess their intentions from the obvious or subtle disappointment they showed when they saw the child-like figure of Luduo.

If they hadn't challenged the most outstanding and prestigious horse racing girls in Japan in recent generations, or even up to now, and then found that they couldn't get what they wanted, how could they have shown so many emotions so easily because of their status and responsibilities?

The Ludo symbol has not changed back yet. According to Elissako, it is because of the excellent physique of this horse girl that she has good adaptability and the rejection reaction to the shrinking potion is not so obvious, which makes the expected effect of the drug last a little longer.

Although Kyoko Miyamura expressed a different opinion, the club's chief physician believed that it was precisely because of his excellent physique that the circulatory system symbolized by Ludo should be better, so the medicine would be excreted faster and change back sooner.

In response to this, Airi Suko said stubbornly:

“First of all, the fact is that President Luduo’s clinical response exceeded my expectations and was consistent with my subsequent hypothesis of rejection.

“Secondly, how the drug’s effects react in the president’s body can only be determined by a physical examination after recovery.

“In the end, I think only Uma Musume can truly understand Uma Musume.”

If it was someone else or Uma Musume who said this to Kyoko Miyamura, or if it was another medical talent who was being said this, a conflict would probably have arisen long ago.

However, since Alisako was able to develop a magical potion that could make people smaller, and she has an incomprehensible talent for medicine, and she is also a horse girl, there is no reason to doubt it.

Kyoko Miyamura herself was not an argumentative person. Even though there were differences in medical concepts, she only thought about it seriously for a while and decided to adopt the hypothesis of Elektra and wait until the symbol of Ludo was restored to verify it.

All in all, judging by the attitude of visiting horse ladies from overseas, an exchange match or friendly match of some kind is bound to happen.

The only difference is how the specific time, place and format are arranged after discussion with Luduo.

And because the restoration of the Rudo symbol will take time, the only ones who can prepare for the war now are other members of the student union like Maruzenski.

So, the training for the day ended, and those who were also jogging to cool down were Representative Chiaki, Ace Katsuragi, and Mejiro Takamine.

"It seems like you noticed it too, Maruzen."

When Maruzenski turned back to jog, Representative Chiaki happened to notice it and couldn't help but look at Kitahara outside the fence of the training ground. "Trainer Kitahara... I feel like he's not in a good condition today."

"Ah? Really? I think his guidance is fine."

Before Maruzenski could speak, Katsuragi Ace was stunned. "Although I already understood many of these techniques, after listening to him, it seems that I have some new feelings about them."

“It’s not a question of guidance.”

Just like usual chats in the student union, Mejiro Takamine also joined in the small talk, "It's a kind of... how should I put it, a feeling of mental weakness."

"Feeling weak? Mentally?" Ace Katsuragi wondered.

“If it were normal times,” Mejiro Takamine also glanced outside the training ground, “he would probably be full of energy.

"If it's that person, it seems that anything related to Uma Musume, especially competitions and training, always gives people the impression of being full of energy."

"is it?"

Ace Katsuragi thought about it for a moment, then quickly nodded, “It seems like that.

"Later, when I went running with you guys here, and also during the relay race, I could feel that the big brother was quite passionate, but he just didn't like to show it off."

"So," Mejiro Takamine rolled his eyes, slowed down a bit, and walked like a pacer, with his fingers against his chin, "The feeling he gives me now..."

"How does it make you feel now...?"

Not only Katsuragi Ace, but Representative Chiaki and Maruzenski also slowed down and looked at Gao Feng curiously.

“It’s like being squeezed dry.”

Mejiro Takamine nodded, "That's it."

"So...wait! Gao Feng, what are you talking about?"

Although she was the most capable and straightforward dresser among the horse girls, Katsuragi Ace had the biggest reaction when she heard Mejiro Takamine's sexy words.

He waved his hands in panic, scratched his head from time to time, and looked around like a thief for a long time. Katsuragi Ace glared at him with a red face.

"How can we talk about this kind of thing in public like this...?
"If I have to, I'll wait until it's late at night and there's nothing else to do... Wait! What the hell am I talking about!

"Oh, by the way, there are juniors here. How can you talk about such a weird topic in front of them?"

Mejiro Takamine had a playful look on his face as he drove casually, while Representative Chiaki had a helpless smile on his face and habitually looked at Maruzenski.

And when Ace Katsuragi was so surprised, several horse girls couldn't help but look in the other direction of the track.

“Well, don’t worry about the juniors,” Qian Ming raised his arm and pointed, saying with a smile, “They are still doing sprint training.

"Not to mention they are far away, given their current state, they won't be able to hear clearly even if they are next to them."

It has not yet been determined how the Peak Cup will unfold. The training intensity of the four horse girls from the student union is not that high and is more like a recovery training.

Although I still maintain the habit of exercising on weekdays, the intensity of my self-training and daily training cannot be compared with the level of the competition.

It is naturally impossible to resume high-intensity training right away. They need to proceed step by step so that they can end their training earlier.

The venue they used was the shorter inner lane, and the outer lane was given to the younger generations they were looking at at the moment.

"Eh? It seems so..."

Ace Katsuragi was stunned for a moment, looked at the outer training ground, stroked his chin, and agreed: "In that case, that kind of topic..."

"Speaking of which, among Little Chestnut Hat, Little Bay, and Aldan, which one do you prefer?"

Maruzenski suddenly took a few steps toward the outer path, crossed his arms, and asked thoughtfully, "I mean, the upcoming chrysanthemum viewing.

"This chrysanthemum viewing event is probably the most anticipated in recent years... no, should I say it is the most anticipated event since the establishment of the Japan URA Association?
"In addition to our own attention, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, New Zealand... For whatever reason, these regions have legendary horse girls coming to Japan at this point.

"Even the Japan Cup, which is the only one open to the international community, doesn't have this kind of enthusiasm, right?" Although she came to training today and didn't deal with much student union affairs, didn't Lu Duo say at lunch that the number of ministers from various ministries who invited her to meet today was more than in the previous year.

"With this level of attention, don't you care who will win this classic triple crown final battle that everyone and the world is watching?"

This topic doesn't sound too out of place.

Just as Maruzenski said, the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival that is about to begin is unprecedented in the entire Shining Series, both in terms of its own significance and the level of attention it has received from both at home and abroad.

Reports from all sides were already overwhelming the publicity, and today when they learned that a group of overseas horse racing girls were coming to visit, they were trying like crazy to find a way to get into Tresen College.

If it weren't for the invitation from department ministers and the higher priority of hosting overseas guests, the school generally does not allow reporters and media to come in casually. I'm afraid the campus would have been packed by now.

After hearing what Maruzenski said, Chiaki and Katsuragi started thinking.

Mejiro Takamine glanced at Maruzenski lightly, his eyes also showing thought, but a playful smile quickly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"As for the chrysanthemum appreciation..."

After laughing, she said calmly: "You'll have to ask Qianming and Katsuragi.

“Maruzen, neither you nor I have any experience in chrysanthemum viewing.

"So, what do you two think?"

"Me? I'll go to the front row and watch."

Katsuragi Ace quickly spread his hands and replied with a smile, "Come on Gao Feng, Chrysanthemum Appreciation... Hey, you know that when I competed with Qian Ming, I only came in second to last.

“I didn’t run during the Arima Memorial that year, I went to receive the Sasa acupuncture treatment.

“I didn’t win first place even if there was a horse next year.

“So, when it comes to long distance, I can’t really say that I’m particularly good at it.”

As she said that, she looked at Representative Qianming, "So, Qianming?"

As the only one of the four horse girls who won the Chrysanthemum Award, seeing that all her friends were looking at her, Representative Qianming pursed her lips, frowned, and pinched her chin, as if she was lost in thought.

Soon, she suddenly smiled and stretched, "Well, I don't know."

"Huh? N-N-don't know?"

Ace Katsuragi was shocked, and although Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine didn't say anything, their expressions were equally surprised.

"Well, I have no idea."

Spreading his hands, Qian Ming said with a smile: "Although I did win the Chrysanthemum Award, I can't actually say how I won.

"You should know that I'm better at chasing after people, right?"

"Yeah, you...eh?"

As a rival of Representative Chiaki in the Chrysanthemum Award, Ace Katsuragi immediately understood what she wanted to say, "You didn't use the chase tactic at the Chrysanthemum Award!"

“Yes, I can basically say that I escaped and won that game. I was in the lead for more than half of the race.

“Rather than thinking about how I won, I felt like I was going to lose during the final uphill part of the race.

"You guys...oh, Maruzen and Gaofeng may not be so clear, but Katsuragi, you should understand how torturous the last uphill climb of the 3000-meter Chrysanthemum Viewing is."

"of course?"

Katsuragi became annoyed, “That’s where I stalled.

“And I originally thought that since you were ahead so early and didn’t run away much, you might lose speed, right?

“In that case, you and I might be the last and second to last, so we can be companions.

"Who could have thought that..."

"Who would have thought that I would get the first place with a positive number."

Representative Qian Ming continued with a smile, then looked at the juniors on the outer road with a truly thoughtful expression, "So what I mean is that the Chrysanthemum Shooting may be the competition that I am least sure about.

“Whether it’s the 3000-meter distance or the timing in the fall.

“You should all be aware that at the turn of summer and autumn, our physical condition will become relatively fragile.

“As autumn deepens, your weight and condition will change dramatically.

"During the summer preparations before the Chrysanthemum Festival, I accidentally injured my foot and caught a cold.

"No matter how hard we tried, we still couldn't adjust before the fall season. As a result, we lost to Katsuragi in the Keijo Shimbun Cup."

"Hey, hey, don't say that you lost to me because you were in bad shape. That's not something you would say." Katsuragi Ace said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

“Of course not,” Representative Qian Ming smiled again, “I mean, there are many internal and external factors affecting this game, that’s all.

“So if we really want to analyze, judge and guess, we can only rely on the contestants’ own abilities.

“It’s obvious that the Super Cove’s characteristics are perfect for long distance racing.

“Although I am a senior who has won a long-distance G1, when I ran side by side with that junior, I clearly felt that if I were from the same generation as her, I would not be % able to beat her in long-distance events.

“It’s not that Oguruma and Mejiro Aldan aren’t strong enough.

"However, when it comes to long distances, their endurance alone is already at a disadvantage.

“It’s not that they don’t have enough endurance, they can certainly finish the race, but facing the super small bay, just finishing the race is definitely not enough.

"Gao Feng, you are Aldan's sister, you should understand this better than me."

Mejiro Takamine was silent for a moment.

"If Aldan were a female racing horse girl and took the female triple crown route, I would have no worries at all," looking at her sister who was still practicing on the track, Mejiro Takamine sighed rarely, "but for the Chrysanthemum Shogi... maybe we can only hope that she can unleash deeper potential on top of finishing the race..." She became uncertain.

Several horse racing girls were silent for a moment.

Just as if to open up this topic, Maruzenski suddenly said: "In this case, it should depend on the specific tactics that Kitahara finally arranged.

"Perhaps he will listen to our opinions? Of course, it seems more likely that he would make the arrangements himself.

“But anyway, I want to find some time to talk to those three juniors.

"what about you?"
