Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 357: Creation and Flying
Driving a truck behind the wheel or something like that, this kind of inhuman training is definitely impossible.

We are not going to save the world, we are just participating in a competition, there is no need to be so exaggerated.

However, after the "truck training" officially began, the performances of Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi were indeed a bit exaggerated.

“Waaaaaaaa! President Maruzen, please don’t drive so fast! I, I… I’m going to pass out!”

“Hahahaha! President Maruzen, you can drive faster, it’s okay. Xiaoyu still has the energy to shout!”

"Damn it... Inari, you bastard! Don't scream when it's your turn!"

……

“No, I can’t take it anymore! Help, Alang! President Maruzen is driving too fast!”

"Hahahaha! President Maruzen, Inari just said you're driving too slowly!"

"Jade! Algae! Ten! Words! I clearly said that it was too fast... Ugh - I can't take it anymore -! Help -!"

In a sense, this special training method has caused the strongest reaction among the trained horse girls since the establishment of Eternal.

In the past, whether it was special training in the form of parachute sprints, blindfold training, wind tunnel training, or special training on the beach, mud, etc., the horse racing ladies in the team were at most confused about the training methods and would not make too much of a fuss.

This time it was different. Not only were they confused about the training method, but Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi almost never stopped screaming during the training.

This made Oguruma and the others almost amused, but also a little worried.

As good friends, and also during this special training for the Japan Cup, they really hope that Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi can receive more targeted training so that they can achieve outstanding results in the competition and even win the championship.

But the current training situation makes them feel that this method is a bit too intense.

For this purpose, they also specifically asked Kitahara, who was supervising the training.

"Too intense... maybe."

Standing on the edge of the road near Nagoya Tresen College, Kitahara looked at the trucks speeding around in circles above.

Truck training doesn’t have to be arranged at the racing track all the time. In fact, after realizing that it is impossible to get inspiration directly from the racing car in a short period of time, its main function has become a kind of relaxation.

If you are free after training every day and the horse racing ladies are interested, you can just make an appointment to go there and have fun. Anyway, Nagoya is very fast there, either by car or by Shinkansen.

The training itself can be arranged directly on the road near Nagoya Academy.

Trasen College is usually built in places with wide terrain, and the surrounding transportation will also be adjusted to make the study and life of the horse girls less busy.

In this way, as long as you apply to the college and relevant departments, it is not difficult to use the road for training for a certain period of time.

Of course, the support of these powerful horse girls, represented by Yayoi Akikawa and Rudo, is indispensable.

Looking at the training situation, Kitahara nodded while recording the data: “After all, Xiaoyu and Inari both shouted so loudly.

"But, compared to the real Japan Cup, this level of intensity is not excessive."

After agreeing with Oguruma and the others’ doubts, Kitahara glanced at them with a serious look and said directly, “You have been to Europe and the United States before, without waiting for them to continue asking.

“I have also played against Umamusume from Europe and America in mock tournaments.

"So you can say you have experience playing against overseas opponents, that's correct.

“But don’t forget, those games were just simulations, not official games.

“The real intensity of the competition among the horse racing ladies over there is actually much more intense than you have ever felt.”

Kitahara's words were not alarmist.

In fact, whether it is horse racing or horse racing girls, the intensity of the competition is difficult to truly experience if you are not the horse, rider, or horse racing girl who is racing on the field.

For example, in horse racing, collisions are common, even in Japan's more "gentle" style of racing.

It can be said that the competitions around 12 were what impressed Kitahara the most.

That is the generation of the Golden Master, the Lady, and the Golden Ship.

These racehorses all seem to have aggressive or eccentric personalities, and it can be said that there are many collisions when they are active on the track.

Like the Japan Cup when the ladies won.

The commentary and reports said that "he won after a fierce battle with the Golden Master in the final straight line."

But those who have seen the scene feel that it was "almost a masterpiece".

Similarly, in the subsequent Takarazuka Kinen, the Lady also collided with the Golden Master's good brother, the Golden Ship.

However, this time, faced with a golden ship whose tonnage far exceeded that of her brother, it was the lady herself who was almost blown away.

This is horse racing itself, and the dangers faced by riders competing in such an environment can be imagined.

Although Uma Musume competitions do not require riders or trainers to participate, the actual competition is just as intense.

On the Japanese side, due to regulatory restrictions, training methods and social traditions, the intensity of the competition does not seem to be "that strong".

Oguruma and the others are also top-notch horse racing girls, and they can handle familiar collisions with ease.

Therefore, they do not think that collision training needs to be emphasized so much, and they feel that current truck training is a bit exaggerated.

However, if they really knew about, or had personal experience of, European and American competitions, they would not think so.

"Let me put it this way, Little Chestnut Hat."

After a brief explanation, Kitahara was worried that his horse racing girls still didn't understand, so he temporarily put aside his observation of the training situation and looked at Oguruma and the others.

"I mentioned before that among the players participating in the Japan Cup this time, there are some big guys over 1.9 meters tall."

Kitahara raised his hand horizontally, palm facing downward, above his head, “It’s only this much taller than me.

“Imagine a horse girl of this height, with a physique similar to yours.

"Imagine now that this kind of opponent suddenly hits you from behind or from the side. How would you feel?"

When Kitahara was describing it, he already had the original work or historical scenes in his mind.

Historically, Oguri participated in this Japan Cup, and she was indeed collided in this Japan Cup.

And it was the big guy over 1.9 meters tall that Kitahara mentioned who rushed from the side and rear.

It was just like a dump truck crashing into it from the side and rear. You could feel the impact just by looking at it.

Not just once, but multiple collisions occurred in succession after the initial collision.

Perhaps, only someone with a monstrous physique like Oguruma, who could participate in G1 twice within a week and come in first and second, could hold his ground in such a fierce confrontation for the first time.

If it were someone with poor physical fitness, he might be knocked away.

But even Oguruma could not avoid being affected by this and consumed too much of his physical strength.

In that Japan Cup, Oguri was one of the most popular contestants on the Japanese side, so to some extent, this was unavoidable pressure.

This time, Oguri will not participate, so the pressure will be transferred to Tamamo Cross and Inari. Inari's physical fitness is no less than Oguri, and he may be better at handling similar situations.

The Tamamono Cross is different.

In the corresponding Japan Cup, Tamamo Cross also faced the same collision situation.

But her condition is not as stable as that of Oguruma.

With a height of only 1.4 meters, he looks like a child among his tall overseas opponents.

Faced with that kind of collision, she did become like a child, being knocked from one side to the other.

It's a bit like being created and flown.

In order to deal with this situation, Tamamo Cross had to change his strategy at the last minute. From the more accustomed method of chasing and running, he went around to the outside to shorten the distance and get into an escaping position where the physical confrontation was not so intense.

This kind of situation in memory is naturally what Kitahara wants to avoid.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pondered for so long and came up with such a seemingly outrageous method as "truck training".

This method may seem funny and strange, but when combined with data analysis and previous training situations, as long as they take good protection measures, Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi will be able to experience more intense multi-directional impacts than in the Japan Cup.

When a truck is driving, especially when Maruzenski is driving a continuous inertial drift, the force of inertial turning will be transformed into impact force in various directions.

Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi didn't need to show the level they had in previous training matches in that kind of impact.

They just need to be able to stand firm and get used to it, then in the real Japan Cup, all collisions and confrontations will no longer be a problem.

When Kitahara was explaining just now, Oguruma was staring at his palm thoughtfully, thinking of that scene unconsciously in his mind.

Although she did not have Beiyuan's "memories", her training, competition experience, and extraordinary competition intuition allowed her to easily understand what the scene looked like.

Even more, what impact will I have in that situation, how should I deal with it, and what to do in the next game.

She could think of it roughly.

So, when she heard the question, she opened her mouth a little, shook her head and frowned without thinking.

"Directly from behind or from the side? Or suddenly..."

Her brows furrowed more and more, "That kind of thing... I feel like I should be able to handle it.

“It consumes a lot of physical energy.

"If it was the 2400m Japan Cup, it would be a little bit difficult to win."

After analyzing it in a low voice, she looked at Beiyuan, "But the problem is, if it hits you directly from the side and rear...

"Isn't that... a foul?"

Puzzled, she couldn't help but look at Super Small Bay and Mebai Aldan.

The two horse girls were also frowning, but their reactions were much faster than that of Oguruma.

"If it was our game, it would definitely be a foul, but..."

Xiao Haiwan frowned and said: “Beiyuan has said it many times, the competitions in Europe and America should be like this.

“Moreover, as the only G1 event open to the international community, our URA Association here will probably lean towards Europe and the United States.

"So, if this situation really happens in the Japan Cup, I think it will not be called a foul."

“Well, and the opponent who does this,” Xiao Haiwan pursed his lips and continued, “probably wouldn’t think it’s a foul.

“Although my sister has never participated in the Japan Cup, she has learned about it from President Luduo and others.

“My sister said that even with the strength of President Lu Duo, he would be very cautious in a special competition like the Japan Cup and would not easily get involved in the team, otherwise there would be unpredictable consequences.

"So, if we really consider this situation, then..."

She looked at the truck on the road and Inariichi who was shouting in the truck, and sighed, "This kind of training is really necessary."

Hearing this, Kitahara couldn't help but smile when he saw that not only Mejiro Aldan, but also Oguruma and Kobayashi gradually understood.

In fact, he had already told his horse racing wives about the competition requirements, and more than once, and had also conducted a lot of targeted special training.

However, the previous mentions and special training were all long-term and subtle, so as not to affect other regular training.

This means that once targeted special training begins, the effects will appear much more exaggerated.

In fact, compared with the training methods of other horse girls, the various training methods pioneered by the Eternal Club have exaggerated effects.

It's just that Oguruma and the others were so immersed in it that they got used to it without realizing it.

Now, they are worried about Tamamo Juji and Inari Ichi, not that they are against the current training.

It was simply that he couldn't bear to look at the sight of his two good friends seeming to be in great pain.

After this brief explanation, they quickly understood.

As for Katsumi Komiyama and Taro Yusuhara, the two trainers had already realized this.

They just watched their horse girls' training and never asked any questions, which showed that they were aware of the necessity of the training now.

The rest of the training went on as usual.

It is not just truck training. This kind of training is only to deal with the special circumstances of the Japan Cup which is different from other competitions. Routine aspects, such as pacing, sprinting, cornering, etc., still need to be trained normally.

Of course, after the truck training, the performance of Tamamono Cross and Inari Ichi in the subsequent training was definitely not as good as usual.

"Ah...it's so much slower..."

After a simple training session based on the 2400m race in the Japan Cup, Tamamo Jushi frowned after learning about her various statistics from Komiyayama.

"Really? That truck training is useful. For example, I feel like I'm much more stable when cornering now than before."

She scratched her head and said, "But...but President Maruzen's speed is still too fast!
"Our legs are still a little weak!
“In this case…

"How come you can still run like before?"

The same situation happened to Inari, who also complained to her trainer Taro Yusuhara.

The two trainers' reactions were very similar, both of them comforted their horse girls with funny expressions.

"Well, this is progress, Xiaoyu, your cornering is much better now than before. It should be the truck training that has improved your stability."

"Inari, don't worry. Your adaptability is improving day by day. I think it won't be long before you can fully adapt to the special conditions of the truck. Then when you wait for the Japan Cup, the conditions at that time will definitely not be a problem for you."

While the two pairs of trainers and the horse girls were complaining and comforting each other, Kitahara was questioning Maruzenski.

"How's it going, Maruzen," Kitahara asked casually while sorting out today's training data, "Do you think that Tama and Inari need to make any adjustments in their special training given their current conditions?"
