Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 35 That Year She Put Her Hands in Her Pockets

Suruga Tezuna, also translated as Suruga Reins, is the secretary of the chairman in the Umamusume anime, games, and manga.

In this world, she also has this identity.

Because of his image of wearing a green uniform and being responsible for detecting the purity of non-Africans in the game, players gave him the nickname "Green Devil".

To many players, Tsuna Tsuna is one of the few "human women" in Central Tresin Academy, as she has no visible tail, wears a hat, and does not appear to have ears.

However, through the research of some players, it is believed that this lady is not a human woman, but a horse girl who once raced on the track.

A magical horse girl that is incredibly powerful and dreamlike.

After debut, he won 10 games.

Sprint, mile, middle distance, long distance, mud, all-around domination.

In his debut race on the 800-meter track, he was 2 lengths ahead of the second place.

In 10 races, the cumulative lead over the second placers is 2 lengths.

Before the Japan Derby, the record was broken 6 times.

Winning the Japanese derby despite having an injured right leg, breaking the record for the 7th time.

One of the strongest horse girls Kitahara has ever known.

"Harvest time".

Or, "Look down on everything."

As players guessed the identity, more and more details were discovered.

For example, the identity card, plot, portrait, etc. can all prove that the quiet and gentle-looking Suruga Tetsuna is the phantom horse girl.

Let me give you a simple example.

As the secretary of the chairman, she was responsible for patrolling the campus at night to prevent the horse racing girls from sneaking out to play, or trying to avoid the dormitory head and sneak back into the dormitory after curfew.

Simply put, it means catching late students.

Of course the guilty horse racing ladies will run away.

However, up to now, none of the female horse racers who have reached speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour and have their own championships have escaped being caught by her after making a mistake.

This detail alone can actually serve as key evidence.

However, Kitahara was impressed by him, not only because of his strong presence and powerful strength in the game, but also because of his tragic ending and gentle personality.

After 10 fights and 10 wins, she got tetanus.

In her time, there was no treatment for tetanus.

So after her stunning appearance that shocked the world, she disappeared in an equally unbelievable way, as brilliant as a meteor and then fell.

In games and anime, she survived.

She has always assisted players and trainers in training horse girls with the image of a gentle, considerate and responsible chairman.

There was only one gaffe.

In a game plot, she lost her composure in front of the chairman and the player for the only time because she failed to deliver medical supplies to the horse racing girls in time. When the trainer played by the player tried to comfort her according to the plot, she said:
“Most of the people who come to this academy are children who love to run, but only a small number of them can stay safe and shine.”

“There are so many kids who can’t run because of injuries and accidents during competitions.”

"I risked my life to run, but I could no longer feel the speed of the wind. How desperate I felt at that moment..."

“…That would be horrible.”

Kitahara felt that perhaps at that time, she said such words because of her own "life" and cared so much about every horse girl.

Recalling the story of Surukawa Tezuna, Kitahara couldn't help but think of more horse girls who lost in the race due to injuries or illness.

Tamamono Cross, Dido Shooter, Mejiro Altan, Rice Bath, Silent Suzuka, Thunderous Roar...

Even Oguruma was not spared from injuries. The other horse girls were not unscathed either.

Even as powerful as the "Emperor", he suffered numerous injuries after winning five consecutive championships. If he had not been extremely lucky and received the best result of the "acupuncture treatment" that killed the horse girl, he would probably not have been able to have the honor of winning seven championships.

Even someone as tough as the "Emperor" suffered three fractures before his "miracle resurrection" and almost retired early. The reason for his retirement after the final battle was still a fracture.

Not to mention the Mejiro family, which is known for its many "glass feet". Almost every Mejiro horse girl has been tortured by injuries such as fractures and fascicitis to varying degrees.

Maybe... my ability to travel through time and space is the opportunity to change the fate of the horse racing girls. Maybe I am unknown now, but I know everything. At least I can avoid some tragedies and even change the entire world of horse racing girls.

In a trance, Kitahara's dream changed again.

At first, he became a trainer for fame and fortune, but later, because of Oguruma, he wanted to do something and change something. Now, what to do and what to change seem to be clearer...

"…Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?! The wine is spilled!"

Rokuhei Ginjiro's complaint brought Kitahara back to his senses. He then realized that he had accidentally tilted the wine cup in his hand while he was pondering, spilling the wine on the table.

He put the wine down casually, asked for a tissue to wipe the table, and recalled the topic at the beginning.

Soon, he remembered that his uncle had just scolded him.

"…I am just a trainer from a small town. It is only natural that I occasionally neglect the affairs of big shots."

Kitahara casually used the excuse of leaving home to evade the question. Without waiting for his uncle to say anything, "I was also born in the countryside, but now I am in the central area," he changed the subject directly:

"I must take the Little Chestnut Hat and the New Glory to Central Tresen College for a visit."

"Seeing the level of top players is a very direct motivation for horse racing ladies. This is what you taught me, Uncle Six."

"Since Uncle Six knows such an important person, I won't be polite when the time comes. I will take the initiative to contact him."

"Well, the boy is teachable..." After nodding half-heartedly in satisfaction at his nephew's praise, Rokuhei Ginjiro suddenly became angry:

"Call me Liuping!"

"Okay Uncle Six, got it Uncle Six."

After another prevarication, Kitahara said something else that had just occurred to him, "Also, I plan to take Oguruma to the central hospital for a comprehensive checkup."

Rokuhei Ginjiro's expression suddenly became serious:
"Huh?! What's going on? What illness does that child have?" He looked inside the noodle shop very seriously.

In a quiet corner, with a mountain of food piled in front of him, Xiao Limao's cheeks were puffed up like a hamster, and he was smiling and watching his friends chatting and laughing.

"What's going on?" Turning back, Rokuhei Ginjiro's tone was anxious.

"Uncle Liuping, don't worry." Beiyuan also changed his attitude and addressed her seriously. "Xiao Limao doesn't have any illness. I have trained her well and arranged for her to rest."

"Then why go to the Central Hospital?" Rokuhei Ginjiro was puzzled.

"Actually, it's like this," Beiyuan thought, "Uncle Liuping can be understood as a physical examination."

"You should know that the medical level in a small place like ours is limited, and the college's infirmary can only be considered barely adequate, so I want to find a top hospital to have a comprehensive checkup on Xiaolimao."

"It's not nice to say, but if there is any problem, it's better to discover it earlier and solve it earlier... But I feel that there should be no problem, because look at how much she eats, she doesn't seem to be sick, right?" He finally changed the subject, sounding a little comforting.

Rokuhei Ginjiro glanced at Oguruma again, this time with a strange expression on his face, with wrinkles twitching constantly:

"She really doesn't look sick. If I have to say, unless being overly gluttonous is considered an illness, then she must be seriously ill... She eats too much, right? Can the cafeteria at Kasamatsu Academy handle it?"

Kitahara couldn't help laughing when he heard his uncle complain about Oguruma's appetite:

"Uncle Six, you're right. I've received complaints from the cafeteria more than once. Little Kurimao eats the ingredients of more than a dozen Uma Musume by himself. They're too busy to handle it."

"Fortunately, during this period, Oguruma has won many battles and brought a lot of profits to the academy. The principal and the chairman of the board have given us special treatment, and the cafeteria is no longer short of budget, so no one is complaining."

Having said that, he continued the conversation:

"However, it is indeed quite unbelievable that he eats this much, so going to the central government for an inspection is actually to get a comprehensive understanding of Oguruma and find out what is going on with his appetite."

"Besides, I think that having a comprehensive understanding and more detailed physical data can help us better arrange our training."
