Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 312 I Want to Win for You

Arranging tactics is something that always lasts until the last minute.

There are often situations of one kind or another in the Shining Series, which lead to various changes in the final game.

For example, the most common one is withdrawal.

If it is discovered that the horse girl is unwell or not in good condition the day before the race, this may result in her withdrawal from the competition.

It is also possible that they have been hesitating and entangled about the competition for a long time, worried that their opponents are too strong, or unsure about their adaptability to the venue. They have been hesitating and entangled for a long time, and only decided to withdraw just before the game. This has also happened.

However, there was no withdrawal from this Chrysanthemum Contest.

Not only was there no withdrawal from the competition, but there were actually many more contestants than Kitahara remembered.

As far as I can remember, there were 18 contestants in this chrysanthemum appreciation competition.

This time the number has increased to 24.

This number is almost the highest in recent generations.

Kitahara also briefly analyzed the factors that affect this number.

On the one hand, just like the Emperor's appreciation of autumn, it is still affected by the current popularity of the competition.

Behind the increase in the number of contestants is actually an increase in attention and the number of fans.

Wherever you go, you can hear people expressing their expectations for Uma Musume. Even if they are not mentioned, they will involuntarily look forward to it.

I am looking forward to what it would be like if I were to step into that highly anticipated competition, win the final championship, stand on the winner's stage, show the joy in my heart with carefully prepared dance moves, and respond to the expectations of fans.

That would be great.

This feeling of anticipation will make horse racing girls who originally had no intention of participating in the competition eager to try.

On the other hand, there is also a supplementary reporting system.

Kitahara would certainly not tell anyone that in the other world, Ogurino, who was now undefeated in two championships, was not even qualified to participate in the Classic Triple Crown.

However, it is still very troublesome to make hints with similar content, especially when you are well prepared.

Gather enough information from the perspective of facts and data to demonstrate the many irrationalities in the current competition system, and discuss with horse girls like Akikawa Yayoi and Rudo Yui what kind of regrets these irrationalities will lead to.

What influenced this idea to be transformed into the final decision of the URA Association was the very realistic resource investment that could be thought of from the beginning.

Whether it is the association, or more importantly the investors behind the association, they will not be as emotional as the horse girls and fans who are looking forward to the competition.

Compared to the game itself, they will pay more attention to more practical things such as benefits and risks.

But for Kitahara, it is easier to handle the resources alone.

Also at the beginning, he was aware of the importance of resources to the Uma Musume industry, so whether he was establishing a business based on team needs, or soliciting investments and discussing cooperation everywhere, his purpose was to prepare for a rainy day and remove this obstacle in advance.

This series of long-term operations has the most obvious effect on improving the training of horse racing girls. Another effect is the promotion of industry development.

In this world, the match supplementary reporting system was implemented earlier.

This also allows the horse girls in the parallel timeline who originally did not have the opportunity to participate in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation to register for the competition.

This in turn led to an increase in the number of actual opponents in the competition.

If you change a trainer, the increase in opponents will almost certainly be a headache.

Kitahara did have a headache, but it was not because of the additional opponents.

He had a headache, because even he couldn't be 100% sure which of his horse girls would be the champion of the Chrysanthemum Award.

If we only consider training data and physical condition, Super Bay undoubtedly has the highest winning rate.

This winning rate is undoubtedly attributed to her unparalleled endurance and game intuition.

For most horse racing girls, just running a long distance of 3000 meters normally would consume all their energy.

But Xiao Haiwan is different. Quite a lot of training has shown that even if the distance is extended by a few hundred meters, she still has the ability to finish the race.

This means that the tactics she can choose from in chrysanthemum appreciation are the richest and most detailed.

Kitahara did spend more time designing corresponding running and coping methods for her.

Then there's the game instinct.

If the tactics are rich and detailed and the running methods are diverse, but they cannot be implemented in the game, it is the same as having nothing.

The Chrysanthemum Competition is exactly the kind of competition that can prevent many tactical running methods from being successfully implemented.

The distance is 3000 meters. If you give it your all in the later stages, the effects of fatigue are not only breathing difficulties, inability to swing your arms, and difficulty in taking steps.

And the brain is unable to think.

Under normal circumstances, even if you are not thinking about anything intentionally, your brain will consume 20% to 25% of your body's total energy.

However, strenuous exercise will squeeze out the energy supplied to the brain. If you continue to exercise, your visual observation ability, ability to distinguish the game situation, and ability to make judgments and analyze will all decline sharply.

This will also allow Super Bay's game instincts to be brought into play to the greatest extent.

How to run and win in that situation, she thought about it and found the right way.

In other words, she can find the right one based on her intuition.

In other words, her physical energy can be used to the greatest extent on running.

Kitahara also specifically emphasized that one should never pay too much attention to the opponent, and should not pay excessive attention to any opponent and waste physical energy, unless the opponent affects one's route forward.

He also said similar things to Mejiro Altan.

Mejiro Ardan's running tactics were the least discussed in the tactical discussions. It's not because she didn't care, but the running tactics she could choose from were the fewest.

She doesn't have the exaggerated endurance of Super Xiaowan, nor does she have the monster-level sprint of Xiaolimao. If she wants to win, she just needs to concentrate all her physical energy on one point before and during the game.

Focus on the running tactics that, in theory and after countless game simulations, has the highest winning rate.

It would be almost impossible for other horse girls to carry out this arrangement, because with this single situation, if there is any mistake in the slightest consideration, it would mean a total loss.

But Mebai Aldan can do it.

Her mental level is as unique as Super Bay's endurance. No matter what the situation is, she can maintain a terrifying analytical ability.

As long as she wanted to think, she could come up with the most winning way of running in advance.

Then, as long as she had enough energy left to run out, she would be sure to win.

As for the little chestnut hat...

Sitting alone in the office, Kitahara continued to review materials, analyze and think for a long time after the post-training discussion, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Who is so late...

Puzzled, Kitahara looked up from the pile of documents on his desk and said casually, "Come in."

The first person to push the door open was Maruzenski, who surprised him.

Following behind this horse girl, what surprised him even more was the little chestnut hat he had just thought of.

“You two…?”

As soon as he spoke unexpectedly, Maruzenski closed the door and laughed.

"I originally planned to simply run with the child. After all, you have allowed them to train independently recently."

He then took Xiaolimao's hand and led her to the desk, then to the chair, pressing his hands on her shoulders with a little force.

After Oguruma sat down, Maruzenski continued with a smile: "But I feel like this kid is not in a good state.

“We simply ran together and found that something was indeed wrong.

"So I asked her, and then..."

She looked at Xiaolimao, frowned slightly, and soon smiled again, "How about, Xiaoli, you talk to Kitahara yourself?"

In fact, without Maruzenski's description, Kitahara could see that there was something wrong with Oguruma's condition.

She seemed quieter than before, although she seemed to speak very little normally, but those who knew her knew that was just her innocent side. She would not be like this in front of familiar people.

The sitting posture is also weird.

Only a little bit of the chair touched his buttocks, and his knees were pressed together.

He clenched his hands into fists and pressed them on his knees, unconsciously exerting force.

His head was still bowed, but he didn't look depressed, just dazed.

At first glance, it looked as if he wanted to stand up from the chair and run away at any moment, but he didn't really want to run.

Seeing Oguruma's unprecedented look, Kitahara hesitated. He was not very good at guessing what girls were thinking. If it was about competition or training, he could still feel something. But Oguruma seemed to be paying attention to the competition, but it didn't seem to be completely true.

He hesitated and didn't speak, and Little Chestnut was also silent.

After Maruzenski finished speaking, he walked to the side, took out black tea, teacups and other items from the coffee table with ease, and started to make tea.

Wait until two steaming cups of black tea are placed in front of Kitahara and Oguruma.

"Little Limao, you..."

"Beiyuan, actually, I..."

Everyone here spoke in unison with tacit understanding, and were stunned for a moment.

Maruzenski poured himself a cup of black tea, held it in front of him, walked to the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, blew the hot air gently, occasionally glanced over, and silently watched the campus outside the window in the night.

"You tell me first," Kitahara didn't pay attention to what was happening next to him. He smiled and nodded to Oguruma, "I'm listening."

"Um……"

He unconsciously exerted force with his hands, pressing his fists on his knees, and his knees shook unconsciously. After a moment, Xiao Limao whispered: "Kitahara, I...

"I don't know why, I..."

She slowly looked into Kitahara's eyes and pursed her lips, "I feel...

“…I can’t win this chrysanthemum contest.”

Kitahara was silent.

After a long time, he picked up the teacup and blew on it.

Didn’t drink, put it down.

After a while he picked it up again.

Just put it down.

He spoke.

"Really……"

After saying these words, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He himself didn't know who would win or lose in this Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition, and at the moment, it seemed unlikely that Oguruma would win.

Subconsciously, he thought that he should run with all his might. As long as he could give it his all, he would not regret it no matter what the result was.

But strangely, he was not good at guessing what girls were thinking, and at this moment he had an intuition telling him that that was not what Little Limao wanted.

But I don't know what she wants to hear.

So, there was silence for a while.

"You... you should have something else to say, right, Little Chestnut?"

He had no choice but to ask directly.

He originally thought that if it was Xiao Limao, even if he had something to say, he might hesitate.

After all, this is a chrysanthemum appreciation event, and she doesn't have any confidence in her heart, and I can't give her enough confidence.

She is not a horse girl who is good at expressing herself.

However, contrary to his expectations, Xiao Li Mao nodded instantly without any hesitation.

"Well, I want to win this Chrysanthemum Contest for you."

"For me...?"

Kitahara was completely stunned.

On the other side, from the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window, Maruzenski glanced over.

And quickly took it back.

Continuing to gaze at the campus in the night, without saying a word, she picked up the cup of tea, blew on it, and put it down again.

"Yes, for you."

Facing Kitahara's surprised look, Oguruma nodded and said, "At first, I just thought that I didn't know how to win this chrysanthemum contest.

“You taught me a lot of running methods and tactics.

“He’s been training me.

“I think other opponents are not as strong as me.

“But Cove and Aldan are not.

"They are also receiving your training, and you should have arranged the most suitable tactical running methods for them.

"In this case, I really can't think of how I should win against them.

"Because I'm not as smart as you, Kitahara. I really can't think of it."

As she spoke, she slowly looked towards the corner of the French window.

“Then, Maruzen must have noticed that I was thinking this.

“She came to ask me what I was thinking and why I ran so badly when we were running together.

“I told her what I thought.

"Then she said, if she doesn't understand, she can come and ask you.

"Before coming, she asked me what I thought of you and what I thought of the chrysanthemum viewing.

“I didn’t understand it at first, but she explained it to me and then I understood.

“She was asking me about my impression of you and what my plans were for the chrysanthemum viewing event.

"That's probably the case, I think."

She looked back.

“That’s very simple.

"I want to win this Chrysanthemum Contest for you, that's all."

Unexpectedly, there was such a small thing before the two horse racing girls came over. Kitahara nodded and couldn't help but look at the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Look back soon.

"So, why do you have to win the Chrysanthemum Award because of me?" He suddenly became curious.

Little Chestnut was silent.

"I don't know how to say it, actually..."

She was silent again, "Maybe, I want you to win...?"

"Let me win?" Kitahara was curious but confused.

"Yeah, I think I can understand some things."

Xiao Limao nodded and said, "I didn't understand it at all. The Classic Triple Crown is a very important event.

“For me and all the horse racing girls, this is a very important event.

“The same goes for you, Kitahara.

"In that case, if I win the Chrysanthemum Award, would it be very important to you as well?
"If I win the Chrysanthemum Award, does that mean you've won something too?

"So, what I actually wanted to say to you, Kitahara, should be this."

She suddenly laughed.

“I don’t know how I’m going to win this game.

“But if it’s because of you, Kitahara, I can win.

“I can and will win no matter what.

"So, I want to know, in your eyes, in your heart, how you see me, and how you see this chrysanthemum viewing.

"May I?"
