Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 370: Well, don't bully Kitahara

The top of the spectator seats at the Tokyo Stadium are quite far away from the track. Looking down, it is about a hundred meters away, and the height difference makes it even farther.

So, Kitahara was very puzzled as to how Yongwu discovered himself and Maruzenski.

Besides being puzzled, I also felt a little guilty. After all, I came here to watch them train without saying hello in advance and I sneaked in. I was an uninvited guest and it was a bit rude.

But no matter what, if you are discovered, you must go and see the people below, otherwise it would be even more rude.

Maruzenski thought so too.

So not long after, Kitahara and Maruzen met Yongwu and Seattle Spin together.

"Wow, you two are actually here."

After the greetings, Seattle said with interest: "I thought Yongwu was joking."

The meeting point is right at the edge of the racetrack. Standing here, you can have a clear view of the horse girls and trainers training on the field.

Likewise, the horse ladies and trainers over there can also see this side.

When they noticed Kitahara and Maruzenski coming over from the audience, those who noticed them showed surprise.

People like Tony Bianca and Moonlight Madness, who knew Kitahara and the others, had thoughtful, scrutinizing, and amusement looks in their eyes after the accident.

The same look was also in the eyes of Seattle's spinning and brave dancing.

Before and after the greetings, the two of them looked Kitahara and Maruzen up and down with this look in their eyes.

Kitahara was somewhat embarrassed.

After all, he came here without saying hello to Maruzen.

Moreover, he was dressed like a special agent, as if he was there to gather information.

Although this kind of behavior is not strictly prohibited in various regulations and there are no punishment measures, it is still not encouraged in the circle.

Thinking of this, he realized that he was still wearing plain glasses for camouflage.

He took them off quickly, took out the glasses case from his pocket hastily, put it away, and put it back in his pocket. He scratched his nose, looked around, and started to change the subject, following Seattle's words.

"So it was President Yongwu who discovered it first..."

He asked in confusion: "Um... President Yongwu, how did you notice Maruzen and me?"

This is actually what Maruzenski is curious about.

After coming to Japan, she lived in Tokyo most of the time, participated in competitions in Tokyo, handled a lot of work, and is very familiar with the place.

She believed that as long as she and Kitahara did not stand up, they would never be discovered from the "peeping" position she had chosen.

But Yongwu discovered it, which made her very curious about what was going on.

"How did you notice that, huh..."

Seeing that Kitahara and Maruzenski were both looking at him, Yongwu chuckled and coughed lightly, "Well, probably... intuition.

"We were originally discussing the subsequent games with Seattle."

She pointed casually to a spot near the edge of the track, and then said with a smile: "Then I suddenly felt as if someone was watching me.

“Probably from that direction,” she pointed to where Kitahara and the others had been hiding, “I paid a little attention, but didn’t find anything at first.

"But the feeling of being watched has not gone away, so I asked the staff here to see if there were any strange people coming to the Tokyo stadium."

Hearing the description of "strange people", Kitahara felt embarrassed again. He felt that what was happening between him and Maruzen was not strange at all, it could simply be called inexplicable.

Maruzenski seemed very interested, "Was it discovered by the staff or the surveillance camera?

"But that shouldn't happen. When Qianming and I inspected the Tokyo stadium, we made sure that the path would not be seen by anyone or any surveillance camera."

"President Maruzen...you are so casual."

Yong Wu was stunned for a moment, then he started to laugh. "Shouldn't this kind of work-related problem be reported to the URA Association in a timely manner so that they can make corrections?"

"Well, I did submit the report, but..."

Halfway through his sentence, Maruzenski smiled and changed his words: "Anyway, what I mean is that we shouldn't be discovered."

Inspecting Tokyo competition venues, including major competition venues, is indeed one of the student union's tasks.

Representative Maruzenski and Representative Chiaki did learn about the route used to sneak in during their inspection.

But the Tresen College Student Union's inspection mainly focuses on the track conditions to ensure that no accidents occur during the horse racing competition.

The path that led in was discovered completely by accident.

It is not the responsibility of the Student Union.

Maruzen and Chiaki did indeed report and submit the inspection results.

As for why there is no adjustment now, that is the URA association's business.

Talking about this now may seem like accusing the association of not doing its job. When facing these overseas horse racing girls, it is better to avoid such things.

In fact, Yongwu could almost guess this. As a student union officer, she knew that some things could not be dealt with immediately after being reported, and might not even be handled at all.

So, with a knowing smile, she continued, "It's because of President Maruzen's sports car."

Maruzenski was stunned, "Because...Tartar sauce?"

"Is that the name of your car?"

Yongwu smiled and said, “It’s a cute name.

“But it was indeed Ta-chan who exposed President Maruzen.

“It so happens that we have staff on standby in a nearby parking lot, and President Maruzen, your sports car is very famous.

"They had originally seen you and Mr. Kitahara getting off the car over there, and they hadn't expected you to come to the stadium.

"I asked by chance and got confirmation. Then I felt that the ones who have been watching us over there are most likely you guys."

She pointed towards the audience again, and her tone became more determined.

"I think that caring so much about our training and getting off at a parking lot near the Tokyo stadium is a coincidence that seems less of a coincidence.

"So, you two came here specifically to find out about your opponent's preparations?
"May I know, after observing for a while, have you two found anything?

“Especially…

"Mr. Kitahara?"

Yongwu looked straight at Beiyuan.

It's not just her, the same is true for Seattle Slalom.

In fact, from the moment Yongwu and Maruzen were talking, this American horse racing girl had been looking at Kitahara, her eyes full of amusement and scrutiny.

While Kitahara and Eisei Club were preparing for the Japan Cup and Summit Cup, Seattle and Yongwu were not slacking off at all.

In addition to basic training and joint training, analysis of the situations of Japanese horse racing ladies and trainers is also an extremely important part of the preparation.

The focus of attention is Kitahara, the chairman of the Eternal Club.

It is true that the trainers for Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi are Katsumi Komiyama and Taro Yusuhara respectively. But as the club president and the core figure of the team from the beginning, Kitahara's opinion is definitely very important, and the other two trainers will definitely refer to it.

More importantly, through analyzing the various training methods and competition arrangements of this trainer after he entered the center, these horse racing girls in Europe and the United States increasingly feel that his training ability may be even better than it appears.

Because the most prominent feature of the competitions he coached, whether it was skills, tactics, or running methods, was their variety.

The clay track events were not so obvious because the only events he coached were Oguruma’s dozen or so races at Kasamatsu, and the intensity of those races was not that high, and there was not much to show.

But we can also see some clues.

For example, Oguruma was not a prominent figure at Kasamatsu Academy. With a little inquiry, one can find out that many horse girls and faculty members at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy did not have much impression of her at first.

If there are any impressions, they are all negative, such as the training method is very rough, the overall appearance is dirty and inconspicuous, very dull, and so on.

And after such a horse girl comes into contact with Kitahara, or becomes Kitahara's horse girl, it can be said that she soars to fame.

We have never lost in the local competitions, and almost every game is a clear victory.

Not to mention after entering the central government.

So far, this horse girl has not only won the classic triple crown, but has also never lost a formal competition.

Even looking at the world, this kind of record is extremely rare, which shows his talent, strength, and the level of his trainer.

After all, there are actually quite a few horse girls with talent and abilities, but there are not many trainers who can discover them and provide targeted training so that their talents and abilities can be fully utilized.

In addition to Oguruma, Kitahara also coaches Super Cove and Mejiro Aldan.

It is easy to find that these two horse girls had serious problems in the competition before their debut, and it can even be said that they were not favored because of this.

Super coves are the most obvious.

As a contemporary of Oguruma and a member of the same Uma Musume team, Super Kobay entered the Central Academy earlier, but made her debut later than Oguruma.

The reason is that his running method is wrong and his feet are inflamed.

Similarly, the same is true for Altan Mejiro.

The eldest daughter of the Mejiro family will not lack expectations, but many people in the industry know that it is difficult for the horse girls of the Mejiro family to avoid the problem of glass feet.

If this kind of foot condition is not handled properly, not to mention whether you can achieve excellent results in the competition, whether you can finish the race safely and whether you can complete your usual training will all be problems.

For this reason, Altan Mejiro spent a long period of time recuperating in a hospital ward or at home before his debut.

However, after these two horse girls met Kitahara, not only did their problems get solved quickly, but their performance since their debut was quite amazing.

Whether it is the win rate, consecutive match rate, or the specific performance on the track, it can be said that there is no room for criticism.

The same is true for two horse girls, Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi.

Although they are not Kitahara's horse girls, they have similar experiences.

There were some problems, such as psychological ones, which were then resolved under Kitahara's guidance, and then he showed wonderful performance on the court.

If only one instance could be called a coincidence, but so many coincidences together could very well be inevitable.

What is inevitable is that the trainer Kitahara has abilities that are unimaginable to ordinary people, because many of the problems he solves are unsolvable for most trainers.

Then in terms of regular training, this trainer is also incredibly strong.

The five horse girls including Oguruma have different talents and abilities.

Speed, strength, endurance.

Lead, go first, go behind, and chase after.

Long distance, middle distance, miles.

Straight lines and curves.

Good, bad, heavy, poor.

Be it basic ability, running method, distance, track form or track conditions, judging from the performance of these horse racing ladies, there is nothing they are not good at.

If we have to say what they are not good at, we can only say that they have their strengths and weaknesses compared to each other.

For example, Oguruma and Inariichi clearly have the greatest advantage in the last kick, followed by Tamamo Cross.

It is obvious that Super Xiaohai's endurance level is strong. The only ones who can compete with him head-on in this regard are Inariichi and Tamamo Cross in the same team. Even Oguruma has to rely on luck and sufficient skills and tactics to win.

Yongwu and her team are still analyzing other aspects.

However, from what has been concluded, it can be judged that Trainer Kitahara not only has training abilities beyond those of ordinary trainers, but is also extremely solid in basic training, without any obvious shortcomings.

Moreover, he is good at a wide variety of tactics, which is another aspect of his ability, namely, the ability to perform in actual competitions.

In short, during the preparation period, the European and American horse racing ladies conducted extremely detailed research on Kitahara, and the corresponding arrangements were also extremely detailed.

The goal is to win the Japan Cup.

And now, they suddenly discovered that such a trainer was quietly observing their training. Although on the surface they could not use any rules to directly accuse the other party, and Europe and the United States did not take these things so seriously.

But Yongwu and Seattle Spin were both alert, wanting to find out what Kitahara wanted to do, what he saw, and what corresponding arrangements he planned to make afterwards.

Kitahara didn't know how he looked in the eyes of the two horse girls on the opposite side, as well as in the eyes of most of the horse girls training on the other side of the track.

If you ask him to talk about his training level, he would only feel that it is average and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

This is the obsession with authority.

Because he knew very well that his training and competition arrangement abilities were based on, on the one hand, past accumulation and persistent learning, and on the other hand, he had foreseen many things and was aware of the true talents of many horse girls, thus avoiding many detours.

What he overlooked was that this foresight enabled him to avoid detours, which was an extremely amazing "ability" for other trainers.

If all trainers could see at a glance what the racehorse girls were good at, then training time would be greatly saved, and they could directly arrange the most effective training, use more advanced and scientific training methods, and their competition results would be improved as a result.

But Kitahara was very aware of the scrutiny from the two horse girls opposite him, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After all, in his opinion, it was somewhat immoral for him to sneak over here, not to mention that he was discovered, which would be too embarrassing.

So, feeling guilty and embarrassed, he opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.

Seeing this, Yongwu was about to ask more questions when Maruzenski suddenly spoke with a smile.

"Well~ please stop doing this, the two of you. It feels like you are bullying Kitahara."

Facing the surprised looks from Yongwu and Seattle, Maruzenski spread his hands helplessly, "If I were to say that we two were just passing by, you would definitely not believe it.

“Well, actually, we are kind of just passing through.

“I wanted to come over here and see it, but Kitahara said it was inappropriate, so I managed to dress up like this and sneak in again.

"So, I kind of know what you're worried about.

“For example, he’s worried about us, or Kitahara came here specifically to find out about the opponent.

"but……"

The horse girl's eyes suddenly sharpened, "There's no need to worry so much.

"Because, if it was Kitahara, there would be no need to do that."
