Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 9: The Strong Enemy at the Beginning (3 Beihei, additional update 23, the saved draft has been sent, the third update will follow)
The first attempt to teach Oguruma was met with setbacks, but after changing his mindset, Kitahara was not discouraged.

"It seems that you are not used to my rote explanation just now," he said to the sleepy little chestnut hat:
"Well, you should just follow your usual routine these few days. I'll just be observing you. The formal training will start when you start school."

Now that Oguruma has successfully joined his team, Kitahara is not in any hurry about training.

It was not only because he believed in Oguruma's talent, but more importantly, he hoped that he could rely on the preparations for the Central Treson exam, combine more with the original owner's training experience, and master more professional knowledge, so that he could better teach Oguruma.

Oguruma was obviously very happy about not having to attend classes, and he immediately became energetic.

"Then...can I go run on the track over there? I saw it before, and it seems to be a good place to run."

Standing up from the chair with an energetic look on his face, Little Chestnut pointed out the office window, his furry ears trembling and his tail shaking behind him.

Kitahara could see that Oguruma was very excited. Her shaking ears and wagging her tail were signs that a horse girl was in high spirits, but he didn't know what she was excited about.

“A good running track?”

After repeating his words, Beiyuan pushed the blackboard he had used for the previous explanation back to its original position and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by a playground that's easy to run on?"

"Just looking over the cafeteria, there's a very, very large training ground."

He raised his hands high and drew a big semicircle in the air, indicating how big the grassland he was talking about was. When Xiaokuimao looked at Kitahara, his expectation was almost overflowing, "Can I run up there?"

According to Oguruma's description, Kitahara quickly realized that the other party was talking about a training ground built not far from the cafeteria.

It's not the largest place in the academy and is only used for short-distance running training, but the basic facilities are fine. For horse racing girls, it is indeed a very comfortable place to run.

"Ah, that training ground."

Nodding, Kitahara thought that he was not in a hurry to teach Xiaolimao common sense, so he agreed, "Okay, you can go for a run first, I just want to see what level of training you have done in the past."

Xiao Limao became even more excited, his ears and tail wagging non-stop, and he walked out of the office first, followed by Bei Yuanyuan.

On the way, the two chatted briefly.

"The trainer said he wanted to see my past training, but I don't have much training." Oguruma said, shaking his head.

"Well...that's how you used to run. Although I saw it this morning and it seemed like your speed was pretty good, it's still better to see it with my own eyes." Kitahara answered casually.

"My speed... is pretty good, is that really the case? When I was in the park this morning, I just ran casually. It wasn't very fast, was it?" Little Chestnut was puzzled.

"Uh……"

Kitahara was speechless for a moment. He had thought that Oguri's potential was extremely exaggerated, but he did not expect that the other party still felt that the speed of 600 meters in about 40 seconds was not fast enough.

However, this also shows her potential. She can definitely become an amazing horse girl...

Chatting, the two soon arrived at the training ground.

There are already people at the training ground, but not many, only two, and their combination is the same as that of Kitahara, a trainer and a horse girl.

The trainer was Kitahara's colleague, the man in a suit with a slicked-back hair, Shibasaki Hiroichi. And the horse girl, coincidentally, was also a horse girl of Ash-haired descent, just like Oguruma.

However, their hair colors are a little different. Oguruma's hair color is more gray, while the horse girl's hair color is more silver. Their hair is also obviously smoother and looks shiny, as if it is well maintained on a daily basis.

The temperament of that horse girl is also completely different from that of Oguruma.

Xiao Limao was wearing an old light gray sportswear, a pair of old sneakers and her trouser legs were covered with dust from running in the morning. She looked like a perfect Cinderella.

The horse girl over there was wearing a brand new black and white Kasamatsu Academy uniform, and her running shoes were also new. She had a dignified and reserved temperament, looking like a well-educated rich lady.

"Hmm? It's also Ashima, and with this temperament... it should be the one that Shibasaki Kouichi and the others had been fighting for before, Fujimasa March."

Kitahara quickly thought of the name of the horse girl.

In fact, if it was any other Uma Musume, Kitahara might not be able to guess who the other person was.

But what happened was that, as he had been thinking about how to recruit Oguruma for more than a month, he thought of many memories before the time travel, and among those memories related to Oguruma, the "Fujimasa March" happened to be quite important.

Oguri has won 10 championships and 2 runner-ups in local competitions, and the team that beat her twice was none other than Fujimasa March.

"Also, in the comics, Fujimasa March was also portrayed as Oguruma's nemesis in the early stages, although he was no match for Oguruma later on..."

Thinking to himself, Kitahara thought again, "But in the original work, Oguruma and Fujimasa met at the training match after they entered school, right? This means that they met earlier because of me?"

Thinking of this, he stopped and signaled Xiaolimao to stop because two people on the training ground were talking.

"I will discuss the matter of joining Mr. Hirokazu Shibasaki's team with my family. Please allow me to reply later." Fujimasa March's voice is soft, but his tone is powerful. He sounds like a person with a gentle appearance but a strong heart. His wording is also very cultured, and it is obvious that he has a good family education.

Shibasaki Hiroichi, who was talking to her, was also calm and decent. With his carefully groomed hair, well-fitting suit and unhurried tone, he seemed more stable and reliable:
"There is no problem."

"You know my training level, Fujimasa. Through the test just now, I also intuitively felt your excellence. I think we will be a good partner."

Fujimasa March did not give a direct response to Shibasaki Hirokazu's statement, nor did he say anything else. He just bowed politely and then walked out of the training ground.

Kitahara and Oguruma were standing at the entrance of the training ground, so they naturally came face to face with Fujimasa March.

Seeing the two people, Fujimasa paused slightly, bowed to them one by one, and then turned around and walked out again.

Out of politeness, Kitahara returned the salute, and then had no intention of communicating with the other party. He planned to go for a run on the training ground with the Ogurashi hat.

However, just as he was about to call out to Oguruma, he suddenly realized that the horse racing girl's expression no longer looked silly.

Her expression was more serious than ever before, and her eyes were unusually serious.

She was looking at the direction where Fujimasa was marching away.
