Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 412: I'm running for Arima Kinen? Is this true?

This judgment of the Northern Black Horse is not an exaggeration.

In fact, if the timeline does not change, the achievements of this horse girl in the future will definitely not be inferior to any of Oguruma and the others.

In terms of the quantity of G1 prize money alone, she even has a clear advantage, even when facing fellow legendary horse girl Ogururo.

After the prototype horse was able to receive training, the famous trainer conducted rigorous “Slope Three-Book” training, which involves running three times on a slope 1000 meters long with a height difference of 32 meters in one training session.

Most horses can only handle the intensity of hill training once, but Northern Black has experienced it twice in his career.

One was during the training before debut, and the other was before Arima’s retirement match.

Japan's training level is not considered top-notch worldwide, largely because it often uses high-intensity training or battle experience to improve the strength of racehorses.

This method has a great impact on the subsequent physical condition of the racehorse, and if one is not careful, it is easy to suffer from lifelong illnesses and injuries.

The intensity of training that Northern Black Horse undergoes has been criticized by many people in Japan's horse racing community, who believe that the intensity is too exaggerated and even seems to be abuse.

Yet the Northern Black has endured it all and has been much healthier than most racehorses throughout his career.

Because of this physique, the Northern Black Horse is also called the "Iron Horse".

As a horse girl, Northern Xuanju has the same physique, and it can be said to be even more exaggerated.

I have never been sick or injured, and I never feel tired no matter how much I go hiking or swimming.

When I was little, I went out to play with my childhood sweetheart and accidentally fell from the third floor. Apart from a dent in the ground and some scratches, nothing else was hurt.

Later, when he was studying at Tresen Academy, he was confronted head-on by the fleeing Mejiro Zenshin and Otaku Taiyangshen, but nothing happened to him.

Instead, it suddenly stopped two seniors who were already famous for escaping, which greatly helped the Qi Tan who was chasing them.

In the subsequent plot, Kita no Xuanju also accepted the very strict training of Miura Bourbon and Miyu at the request of the trainer, and thus won the first Guma G1 championship and the Emperor's Spring Viewing Award.

In Kitahara's opinion, the strict friendship training before the Emperor's spring viewing was probably based on the training of "Sakamichi Sanbon" by the original production team.

Especially the assisting Miura Bourbon, like Kita no Genju, was originally of short-distance pedigree, but through rigorous training, he changed his preferred distance and achieved many G1 achievements, which is very telling.

But Kitahara doesn't plan to take that approach.

An important idea in the development of Yongshi Club till now is to break down the high-intensity training commonly used by trainers into "lightweight" tasks that are easier for racehorse girls to adapt to.

For example, the weight-bearing device that was originally designed for Oguruma was actually followed up by Shin Shinkyoku.

The weight training currently conducted by the Yongshi Club still requires wearing equipment, but the weight is distributed more evenly. It does not only put pressure on the legs and feet, but allows the whole body to adapt to more weight over the long term.

Combined with other similar training methods, it will be much easier for the Northern Black Horse to realize its potential than in the prototype horse or the original work.

This is also one of the reasons why we want Kita no Genju to try training with Oguruma and the others.

Kitahara wanted to personally confirm the current condition of Northern Black Colt so that she could design a training plan suitable for her.

These ideas were unknown to Ludovician, and even to Maruzensky.

However, these horse girls are now very familiar with the training methods of the Eternal Club.

Faced with Lu Duo's doubts, Beiyuan pondered for a while and gave a brief explanation.

"I think my vision for discovering the potential of horse girls is trustworthy, or I think I have some talent."

With more and more predictions, Beiyuan now naturally attributes some inexplicable things to talent.

“In my opinion, Xiaobei has great potential, especially in terms of physical fitness.

“This parallel running training is completely impossible for other children of the same age, but it may not be the case for Xiaobei.

"And if I train her further, I hope to understand her situation earlier and arrange a more appropriate growth plan for her.

"If it were other children, I would probably need to adjust my habits and consult their families.

"But if it's Xiaobei..."

After confirming the wording again, he said tactfully: "Teacher Bei Dao is probably the most professional in the music industry.

“I can have more initiative to lead in my own way.”

Luduo still has confidence in Beiyuan's vision, and this training is at Tresen College, so there is no need to worry about any problems.

As for the following words, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

Kitahara is now quite famous in the industry. Even if not every trainer or every horse girl approves of his training methods, no one can deny his results.

There are still many female racehorses who can accept and even believe in its training methods, and many of them often go to the Yongshi Club to ask for advice and learn.

However, it is still difficult to train Oguruma and the others exactly in the way Kitahara did.

It’s not that Beiyuan is unwilling to teach everything he knows.

On the contrary, Luduo knew very well that this trainer wished that all trainers and horse girls could refer to his training methods.

But at this stage, the horse racing girls who are already studying at Tresen College also have teaching tasks at the school.

For example, Mejiro McQueen and Emperor of the East China Sea.

Even if he approved of Beiyuan's training method, even with Luduo's authority, it would be impossible for him to allow Beiyuan to completely replace all teachers, instructors, and even trainers.

Otherwise, it would be like saying that other people are completely useless, and the system in Beiyuan is not enough to support such a huge teaching and training task.

On the other hand, the horse girls who have not yet entered Trasen College and are still in elementary school or below have certain trainer resources at home.

For example, the Huang Jin family has known Beiyuan for a long time. Whether it is Grandpa Jinlang or others there, they all have good training abilities and training methods suitable for their own children.

Basically, those who are training according to Kitahara's ideas now include Oguri's sister Oguri Roman, and those who came into contact with Kitahara earlier, such as Tokugawa Shu and Good Opera.

Although Northern Black Horse is similar to Golden Ship and Golden Master, it has a large family.

But the northern Xuanju family, from Kitajima Saburo and others, are indeed better at music, but their training and competitions can only be said to be entry-level.

"In that case, it seems that Xiaobei is quite suitable for the training method you mentioned, Beiyuan."

After thinking for a while, Luduo understood Beiyuan's meaning, "Then I am looking forward to it.

“I wonder what level the child will become if he receives your training from such a young age.

"Maybe when she debuts, she'll be the new undefeated triple crown horse girl."

Ludo symbolizes expectation.

In response, Kitahara just smiled.

He couldn't be sure of things that far ahead, and if his various plans went as planned, many of his current advantages would most likely disappear. It wasn't that he was afraid or worried, he was looking forward to that day, because that meant that many of the advanced and effective training methods he brought would be popularized.

In that case, even if she knew what kind of opponents Northern Black Horse would encounter in the future, it would not necessarily allow her to win easily.

For example, in the parallel timeline, Xiaobei's childhood sweetheart Satomi Mitsuzan, another childhood sweetheart who was born on the same day of the same month of the same year, Satomi Hikaru, the socially phobic opponent Gao Shang Jun Yi, and the undefeated second champion's opponent Ming Sheng Lei Dong, these are all outstanding horse girls.

If his training method could be promoted, the injuries and preparation problems that these horse girls would encounter in the parallel world might no longer exist in this world.

So talking about victory now is really empty talk.

Kitahara just thought about the possibilities of the future and didn’t think too much about it.

Seeing that Lu Duo symbolically approved of his training arrangement for today, he couldn't help but cheer up and quickened his pace to the training ground.

It feels very familiar, and there are familiar figures on the training ground.

Katsumi Komiyama, Taro Yusuhara, Shinshin Glory, Kyoko Miyamura and others, these trainers and technicians are all working in their respective positions.

There are also familiar figures running on the track.

They must be very cautious about the upcoming Arima Kinen. Both those who are guiding the training and those who are conducting the training are obviously more focused than before.

It was not until Kitahara came closer and the training was over that everyone noticed his arrival.

"Eh? Senior brother? And President Lu Duo? When did you come here? It just so happens that Senior brother, please help me look at this set of data. I always feel that something is not right."

"Sister Komiya, drink some water... and Uncle Yusuhara, you drink some water too."

Noticing the arrival of Kitahara and Ruduo, Katsumi Komiyama handed over a stack of reports and took a bottle of water beside her.

"Yeah, thank you...ah, thank you Xiaobei!"

The latter thank you was obviously much more surprising than the previous casual one, and also had a hint of pampering.

It was Kita no Genju that Komiya was thanking.

The little girl was carrying a big box, which was filled with energy drinks.

Hearing the thanks, she giggled for a while, then ran towards the track fence with the box on her head.

"I'll go get some water for Oguri-senpai and the others!"

"Yeah, yeah! Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaobei!"

He looked at his junior sister and Kitahara Xuanju with a smile. It was not until Kitahara Xuanju ran to Oguruma and the others with the box on his head that Kitahara took the information from Komiyayama.

"But it shouldn't be something wrong."

Looking in the direction of the northern Xuanju, Xiaogongshan smiled fondly for a while, then turned his head and said, "I think it's because of the different venues.

“In the competitions Xiaoyu and her friends have participated in before, there was no design similar to the Zhongshan venue.

"The uphill section from 180m to 70m before the finish line has a height difference of 2.2m, which is the steepest slope even among the dozen or so venues in the central area.

“And in the 2500-meter race, this slope has to be passed twice.

“The ones I’m more familiar with are probably the three people including Oguruma who participated in the Gaoyue Sho.

“But there is still a big difference between the 2000-meter Gaoyue Sho and the 2500-meter Arima Kinen.

"The other horse girls' situations are a little different from theirs. That's probably why our training data seems a little off."

While Komiyayama was expressing his views, Kitahara had almost finished reading the contents of the document.

The general situation is consistent with what Katsumi Komiyama said. The difference in the competition venue caused some training data to look different from the previous simulations, which means that what Komiyama said was not correct.

As one of the venues directly under the URA Association, Zhongshan Venue hosts quite a few events, but not many G1-level events.

Even later, the only G1 events held at this venue were the Satsuki Sho, Sprint Championship, Arima Kinen and Kizoku Stakes.

The Sprint Championship was not established until many years later. Although the Hope Championship exists now, it is currently only at the G3 level and is limited to female racehorses. The race schedule is not 1 meters after being upgraded to G2000, but 1600 meters.

This means that compared with the Tokyo Stadium, Hanshin Stadium, etc., the training data and competition data of the Zhongshan Stadium are relatively less.

The Eternal Club has an increasingly mature digital simulation system that can input Oguruma and other team's daily training and past game data into it to simulate actual game situations as closely as possible.

There have been many versions of this series of data, and compared with the current training situation, a small part of those data looks a bit like running another race.

"Let Guanghui do the math."

It didn't take much effort for Kitahara to make a decision, "If the error of this data is not much different from the previous estimate, then there won't be any big problem.

“And the competition is not determined solely by mathematical expectations on paper.”

"Afterwards we will go to the Zhongshan stadium for on-site training and collect some data about our opponents. It won't be too late to find any problems then."

"Got it! I'll talk to Guanghui later!"

After giving a solemn salute, Katsumi Komiya quickly looked over the fence with a smile, "By the way, Senior Brother, this kid is pretty good, very lively and enthusiastic.

"As soon as I got here today, I helped everywhere, leaving Xiao Te and the others who used to come to train and help out with nothing to do.

"So, are you planning to give her some guidance?"

Following Komiya's gaze, by the fence, Oguruma and the other girls, who had just finished training, were chatting with Kitaguchi Genju.

Several horse racing girls were chatting and laughing from time to time, and it seemed that they had a pretty good relationship.

On the other side were Kitajima Saburo and the disciples who came with him. Luduo, who had originally come with Kitahara, was now with Kitajima Saburo, and they were all paying attention to Northern Xuanju.

...By the way, I didn’t notice it just now, where is Maruzen...?
Only then did he realize that Maruzenski, who Luduo had said was responsible for assisting in the training here, was nowhere to be seen. Kitahara was puzzled for a while and decided to make a phone call later and arrange the training of Oguruma and the others and Northern Xuanju first.

Jianjie and Komiya, as well as Kitahara, explained the situation of the northern Xuanju to Yusuhara and the others, and also talked about the competition they had trained for together.

Like Lu Duo, Komiya and others were surprised for a while, but quickly accepted this arrangement.

Similar reactions also appeared in Oguruma and the others and Kitagawa Genju.

Especially Northern Black Horse, when he heard that he was going to run the "Arima Kinen" with these famous seniors, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

So, when the next round of training began, five horse racing girls with curious and interesting expressions and a little loli with an unbelievable look on her face appeared at the starting line.

"I-I can really run Arima Kinen... No, can I practice with the seniors...?"

Looking around nervously, Beibu Xuanju, who was facing such a situation for the first time, couldn't help talking to himself.
