Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 103 The Eve of Gaoyue Appreciation

That night, Northern Xuanju was thinking about what his decisive server would look like.

During dinner, she left a text message to An Jingzhen, asking him to send her photos of the winning uniforms if he had any at the meeting.

After getting the photo as she wished, she learned something unexpected.

That is, the association and the academy got the measurements from Yasui Makoto a long time ago, and the winning uniforms were already made.

She fell in love with the new clothes at first sight just by looking at the photos.

The style was her favorite festival style, with a tight inner skirt, a sleeveless gown, long independent sleeves, long over-the-knee socks, low-heeled lace-up boots, and a knot at the back.

The inner skirt has a gold base and is embellished with festive bright red.

The base color of her gown, sleeves, and knee-high socks was pitch black, which matched her name and was her favorite color. Above the pitch black was an equally festive bright red, bright gold cloud pattern, and flower decoration.

The knots were of the standard festival-specific style, and the colors were red, white, and gold, which matched the clothes perfectly.

For a moment, she really wanted to run to An Jingzhen's rental house and put on her winning suit immediately.

After finally calming down, she repeatedly told Yasui Zhen to bring the clothes to the academy the next day.

After tossing and turning all night, she went to the playground to see An Jingzhen early the next morning and couldn't wait to ask him questions.

"Trainer, trainer! Where's my victory suit? Did you forget to bring it?"

As soon as she asked the question, she was surprised to see An Jingzhen reached behind his back, took out a black bag and handed it to her.

Guessing immediately that the item in the pocket was his winning suit, Beibu Xuanju couldn't wait to take it, holding the pocket tightly for fear that it would be snatched away.

Staring at An Jingzhen with sharp eyes, she sat unsteadily with her legs raised high, as if she was about to turn around and run.

"Thank you, trainer! Um... can I go back and put it on for a bit? It only takes a moment. It definitely won't delay today's training!"

Even though they had been together for three or four months, this was the first time An Jingzhen saw Northern Xuanju so anxious.

While laughing, he could somewhat understand the girl's feelings.

The dream of becoming a horse girl like her idol didn't start smoothly, but she trained hard day after day and won consecutive victories. She was about to participate in the most glorious event for horse girls...

All these experiences gathered at this moment undoubtedly made Northern Black Horse full of confidence and fighting spirit, which led to its current abnormal appearance.

"I'll be training in my winning uniform today."

Facing Northern Xuanju's surprised, happy, and puzzled expression, Yasui Zhen smiled and said seriously:

"Let me be clear first, this is not a decision to reward you or to let you relax, but a part of training, which was also emphasized in the meeting yesterday.

"The winning server is quite special, so I need to make a final round of adjustments before the game. You..."

"I understand! Then wait for me here!"

Unusually, before An Jingzhen could finish his words, Kita no Xuanju had already made a gesture to run away. The overjoyed Kita no Xuanju turned around and ran towards the dormitory.

After a moment of hesitation, he looked in the direction where the girl disappeared, laughed and shook his head again, and then Yasui Zhen began to arrange the training tools to be used today.

Not long after, a familiar sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Looking in the direction of the sound, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"What do you think, Trainer? I think this outfit looks really good. What do you think?"

In the morning light, facing Yasui Makoto's gaze, the black-haired girl in low-heeled boots turned around on the spot with a vibrant smile.

The hem of his jet-black gown surged like a night tide, and the golden and red cloud-sea patterns seemed to flow with dazzling brilliance as he moved.

The over-the-knee socks show off the tight lines of the calf muscles, and the ritual knot flutters fiercely at the back, like a never-extinguished red-gold flame.

She suddenly stopped and her sleeves swung out, creating a golden glow.

The bright red patterns on the dress made her pupils shine, and her ponytail swept across her fair and round shoulders as she raised her legs high.

"I feel... full of strength!" In a trance, An Jingzhen saw an illusory psychedelic light emerging behind Kita no Xuanju, and the red lights and golden candlelight appeared faintly, turning into star trails leading to Gaoyue Shang.

He shook his head unconsciously, and the hallucinatory scene disappeared. All that remained was the girl in new clothes stroking the black and gold pendant on her body. Her pretty face and red eyes were full of joy and anticipation.

“…very beautiful.”

After a pause, he nodded in comment and pointed towards the runway.

"Since you're so motivated, let's start training. It's still 2000 meters. I'm ready."

"Okay—watch me!"

He clenched his fists and shouted, with more momentum than ever before, Beibu Xuanju rushed towards the playground track.

……

Until the eve of the Gaoyue Award, under the arrangement of Yasui Shin, Kitaguchi Genju was training in the decisive uniform.

In the playground these days, all the horse racing girls on Gao Yue’s runaway list are like this.

With the blessing of the three goddesses, the effect of the decisive server is not groundless.

It's not about making the horse racing girls' strength improve dramatically, but it allows them to more stably display the strength they have trained in the past.

This means that there will be a period of adjustment and adaptation before the competition, which is also the final preparation before the competition.

It also takes into account publicity needs.

In addition to the pre-race interviews arranged by the school, Yasui Makoto took a lot of photos of Kita no Genju while he was running, and then posted them on the Junshu account with text. The same was true for other horse girls.

Beifang Xuanju didn't think so much.

She just completed her daily training step by step, then happily browsed her account updates, liking and commenting on the posts of her familiar friends, who were also her upcoming opponents.

The afternoon before the Gaoyue Appreciation Ceremony, in the dormitory of Northern Xuanju.

Lying on the bed, with his legs crossed in the air and his bare feet swaying, Beibu Xuanju flipped through his phone and exclaimed in admiration.

"As expected, no matter how I look at it, Crown-chan and Naruto-chan's victory suits are so cool!

"Xiaogang's is also very handsome, and the colors are similar to mine, black, gold and red.

"Come to think of it, it seems like many of the winning uniforms in this competition have similar color schemes."

Sitting at the desk, he tapped on the phone screen for a while, and Rimi Mitsuzumi looked at him with amusement.

"Xiaobei, you... you really don't seem nervous at all. Do you want to check your luggage again? My sister said it's almost time to leave for the Zhongshan competition venue."

"Don't worry! I prepared everything for tomorrow's competition last night!"

He responded confidently, but Beibu Xuanju seemed worried. He turned over and got up from the bed, and trotted to a suitcase at the door.

She opened the suitcase and began to rummage through it.

“Let me see…

"The competition notes are ready, the horseshoes and spares are ready, the winning uniforms are ready, the entry certificate and physical examination results are all in order...

"There shouldn't be any problem!"

After checking, he closed the suitcase excitedly, looked at Satomi Kozuna with a smile, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the text message alert sound from his mobile phone.

She quickly clicked on the screen and after looking carefully, she took a deep breath, picked up the suitcase with one hand, and reached out to her friend with the other.

"My trainer just happened to urge me to leave, so let's go to the Gaoyue Award together, Guang Zuan-chan!"

(Come to Zhang Xiaobei's winning server:
