Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 107 Don’t think it’s so easy to take the lead!

Click.

The metallic clang of the gate opening rang out clearly in my ears, and the world that had been limited in my vision suddenly became vast.

My heart trembled in my chest like thunder for a moment, and the horseshoe embedded in the sole of my shoe sank deeply into the green lawn.

The moment his muscles were stretched as tight as tempered steel cables, Northern Black Horse's pupils shrank suddenly and he rushed out suddenly.

A strong wind suddenly filled her long ears, and she felt that her calves wrapped in black stockings had endless propulsion force, carrying her forward like a fiercely thrown javelin.

At the same time, in the fields of vision on both sides, 14 streamlines arched like cheetahs also showed an astonishing initial velocity.

"Amazing! An amazing start!" the commentator excitedly reported the race:

"All the horse girls had a great start!

“The first contestant to stand out was contestant number 4, Azreta!

"She's very fast! Great positioning!
“To her inside were number 2, Screaming Thunder, and number 3, Spinning Mind. She ran well into the stack and was ahead of both opponents!
"Now she's competing for position with Bright Badge No. 1... the winner is already decided!

"Azreita is still in the lead! What a beautiful positioning... Wait!
“It’s the Northern Black Horse!

"Contestant No. 7 Northern Xuanju is catching up!

"Simply breaking free from the clutches of No. 5 Indomitable True Steel, the Northern Black Horse heads straight for Azreta!
“It’s exceeded!
“It passed in an instant!

“Now it’s the number one Xuanju in the north!

“But, heretic!
“Yes… Clear Sky No. 14!
"Clear Sky is approaching!
"She advanced from the 6th or 7th stack position to the 2nd or 3rd stack position in one breath, following closely behind Northern Xuanju!

"The leader is still Northern Black Horse, but to her inside is No. 4 Azreta, and to her outside is No. 14 Clear Sky!
"The two players were chasing very fiercely, and it seemed that they had no intention of giving up the lead easily!
"We've reached the early stages of the race, the race for the lead...

"It's still going on!"

Amid the excited and distorted commentary, the audience seats at the Zhongshan stadium were in an uproar as soon as the game started.

The cheers of hundreds of thousands of people gathered into a tsunami of sound, rushing straight towards the racing ladies running on the track.

Their figures can also be seen on the big screen, and the tight muscle lines of their taut little faces, bulging cheeks, and forearms and long legs are extremely clear on the screen.

"Now entering the first turn!" The commentator's voice suddenly rose three octaves:
"The Lingfang Group's game is still going on... Wait!
"The Northern Xuanju suddenly tilted towards the outer path! Is this to give up the dominant position in the inner path in advance?"

Along with this exclamation, on the track, Northern Black Horse visibly gave up part of the inner lane, and suddenly opened up half a body length between herself and Azretta who kept approaching her.

Green grass debris splashed in straight lines behind her, and those lines suddenly twisted and bent when they tilted abruptly.

Seeing that she was about to hit the clear sky outside, the girl changed her pace at the critical moment.

As if by magic, she switched to a new sprinting foot, her figure drawing a crescent-like arc on the green grass, narrowly avoiding her opponent.

Then she took off and was the first to pass the opening corner.

The cheers echoing from the audience became a little chaotic, and turned into more excited shouts for the wonderful acceleration of Northern Xuanju.

An excited cry was heard from the front.

"Great! That's it!"

His knuckles turned white as he clenched the telescope, and Yasui Makoto raised his arms vigorously.

What Northern Xuanju just demonstrated was the opening tactic that had been practiced repeatedly before, the arc positioning!

At this moment, every step she took was precisely on the predetermined path, perfectly bringing the arc drawn in training to the Gaoyue Competition venue.

This moment is the reward for the unremitting efforts of wind, frost, rain and snow!

The commentator exclaimed again. "Incredible positioning!
“The positioning of Northern Xuanju is truly incredible!
“She now firmly holds the number one spot!
"The leading group now forms three waves - at the forefront is the Northern Xuanju!

"The two horses behind are locked in a fight between Azreta and Clear Sky!

"The main force behind us started to be left behind by a gap of three horse lengths!"

Northern Black Horse's unexpected uphill skills surprised the commentators and spectators, and even more so the horse racing ladies on the track, especially the contestants in the leading position.

Staring closely at the black and gold figure in front of him, Azretta was filled with disbelief as he tried his best to chase after it.

She had never expected that the opening game of Northern Xuanju would be so fast, and the steep slope would be passed quickly in such a strange way.

When she initially felt the pressure on the outside decrease, she was overjoyed and corrected her course to the left.

However, she didn't expect that at that moment, the other party had already occupied the position in front of her previous position.

Then, in one breath, she shook herself off, along with the clear sky beside her.

No! We can't let her run this easily! The next step is a straight line, we must stop her here!

Making a decision in hesitation, Azreta was about to speed up when he suddenly felt a strong wind beside him and caught a glimpse of a figure suddenly rushing forward in his peripheral vision.

"You must be joking... Don't even think about taking the lead so easily!"

He growled like a roar, and his long ears, which had already been blown down by the strong wind, stretched even straighter. He stared at the figure in front of him with the clear sky.

She had never expected that the Northern Black Horse would dare to display that kind of speed and run that kind of route on the steep slope, and she had no idea how the other party did it.

But it didn't matter whether she expected it or not, or whether she knew it or not, she only had one thought now.

Never give up the lead!

He clenched his teeth, and his breathing and steps became short and powerful.

The muscle fibers all over the body release energy layer by layer like precision springs, and a burning sensation comes from the calves.

The clear sky made it clear that the figure in front was getting closer and closer.

The next second, her pupils shrank.

As if I had seen her before, the black-haired girl in front suddenly moved to the outside.

This is not an uphill technique, but a common defensive move on a straight line.

The trainer taught her this move and she practiced it day after day in training.

Every time the seniors who helped her run made this move, she felt as if she was stuck in a dilemma.

It was thanks to the guidance of her trainers and predecessors that the moment she noticed the movements of Northern Black Horse, she instinctively shifted her center of gravity to her left foot and stepped lightly forward with her right foot.

Large pieces of grass debris and a whole piece of turf flew to the left. Relying on the reverse thrust and the speed accumulated for a long time, she forced her way through the gap that had just opened on the inside and caught up with the Northern Black Horse.

"It's not over yet...!"

The energy in the Achilles tendon exploded, and the left arm hit the strong wind that was carrying the Northern Black Horse. Qingqing Tiankong's left hand felt numb from the back to the fingertips.

But she didn't care at all and just tilted her eyes to the left and back.

Glancing at the astonished look coming from the other side, she raised the corners of her mouth.

I told you... don't think it's so easy to get ahead!
