Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 119 Ninja Xiaobei

Kitaguchi Genju was amazed at the initial display of what Yasui Shin called "extreme stunts" and soon became very interested in them.

Especially in the subsequent explanation, the trainer himself demonstrated other movements.

Just from the hiking and aerial twists, she couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty and coolness after she came to her senses.

The subsequent spinning kicks, flying armbars, and something called Ye La all made her very excited.

Compared with these actions, she even felt that the first thing she saw, splitting the pebbles, was nothing.

However, when she returned to the academy to start training, she was somewhat disappointed to find that the mission was the same as before.

I should start new training only after finishing these.

With this thought in mind, she felt even more disappointed after finishing the training.

"...Trainer, didn't we agree to practice extreme stunts?"

Pouting in dissatisfaction and shaking his clenched fists, Kita no Xuanju looked at Yasui Makoto with anticipation.

"When does it start? Oh, and didn't you say that extreme stunts require a lot of special tools? Why don't I see anything?"

She belatedly realized the blind spot and looked around.

Looking up from the tablet, An Jingzhen was surprised by the enthusiasm of Northern Xuanju and was also a little happy.

After deciding to become a trainer, he spent most of his time studying, simply incorporating various training and techniques from memory into his physical training, and taking time to read reports on extreme stunts around the world.

While reading those reports, he often recalled the various discussions and exchanges of experience he had with his peers.

I also often dream of performances on the edge of a cliff, on a glacier, and thousands of feet high in the sky.

The adrenaline rush, the thrill and enthusiasm from the heart can be felt clearly even in a dream.

Extreme stunts are not only his past career, but also his favorite hobby.

Or perhaps it is because of his love for it that he regards it as a career.

With each challenge to the limit, this passion has not only not disappeared, but has become more fanatical.

Feeling Beibu Xuanju's enthusiasm at this moment, he couldn't help but regret that he had paid too much attention to theory and logic before, and had not mentioned his deep love to his horse girl earlier.

If he had said it earlier, he and Beibu Xuanju might have become fellow enthusiasts of extreme stunts in addition to their relationship as responsibilities.

On second thought, he felt that it was not too late to say it now.

Having experienced an aircraft crash, he believed that no one alive in this world knew better than him the dangers of extreme stunts.

So safety is more important than satisfying your own hobbies.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious, Xiaobei."

When talking about extreme stunts, Yasui Makoto unconsciously felt a lot more relaxed while being enthusiastic.

"This kind of special training is quite difficult and dangerous, and requires specific tools.

"You should have heard the conversation between me and Mr. Beidao yesterday, right?
"It will probably take some time for the tools to arrive. Until then, you just have to learn to be calm, patient, and wait."

"Calm down... be patient... wait..."

He repeated these three words with his fists clenched, then Beibu Xuanju took a deep breath and suddenly smiled.

"The trainer... suddenly became very strange."

"strangeness?"

Yasui was stunned, "What's weird about me...?"

"It's just...you usually speak and act in a very methodical manner."

Nodding his chin, Northern Xuanju pondered:
"Even when we were playing games together before, you were always talking about strategies and calculations. Guang Zuan-chan whispered to me that even though you're a trainer, you're just lecturing like a teacher." "But when you talk about extreme stunts, you become a completely different person. You make people feel so excited."

An Jingzhen recalled and found that he had really been as the other party said in the past, and couldn't help laughing.

"Can't I have a personal hobby? What's wrong with being a little excited about something like a hobby?"

He asked a few questions in return, and seeing that Beibu Xuanju still had a bit of regret and loss on his face, he thought for a while.

"How about this? Although the special training tools aren't ready yet, if you really want to try it, let's make something simple first... No, I should say just play around with it."

The Northern Black Colt's eyes lit up as his ears twitched and his tail swung behind him.

"Really?! That's great! Trainer, you're so kind!"

Smiling, An Jingzhen looked around and pointed to the spectator stands on one side of the playground.

"Come on, let's go over there."

What Makoto Yasui planned to try with Kita no Xuanju was the relatively basic but classic "horizontal wall running" among extreme stunts.

Compared with hiking and climbing, which is the actual special training to be carried out next, horizontal wall running can be said to be a low-end version.

Parkour is one of the sports with the most extreme stunts. The basis of basic movements such as precise long jumps, cat jumps, and rapid obstacle crossing can be said to be horizontal wall running.

In actual performances, many sections of the venue are not flat. Being able to move on vertical walls will definitely make the other movements much easier.

In vertical movements such as hiking, climbing the wall on one foot, and rebound jumping, more emphasis is placed on the foundation of horizontal wall running.

The next game is the Japanese Derby, which has many ups and downs throughout the race, and the characteristics of dense ups and downs are extremely obvious.

In particular, there is a 460-meter continuous uphill slope 140 meters before the finish line, and after the top of the slope is the final straight line of 300 meters.

To handle this stage, you must handle the initial slope.

Continuous slopes are very physically demanding, and the speed needs to be reduced due to the influence of gravity and safety considerations.

The subsequent straight line is the last section before the finish line, which requires an extremely high sprint speed.

This requires that the longitudinal displacement capability must be good so that the vehicle can pass through the slope quickly, steadily and easily, and make better preparations for starting in a straight line.

What is strengthened by horizontal wall running and free-hand climbing is precisely the vertical displacement ability.

After a while...

"Wow! I remember now!"

Following the techniques that Yasui Makoto had suggested, Kita no Xuanju tried to jump a few times on the wall outside the stands, and then he jumped on tiptoe in place.

"I've been thinking about what the trainer was talking about when he said extreme stunts, and now I finally remember it!
"I've seen it in movies, and in the Noh plays my grandfather took me to! And the games I played with the Diamond!
"That's a ninja!"

Putting her hands together, with her index and middle fingers extended and pressed together, she said excitedly:
"Trainer, can I also run on walls and rooftops like a ninja in the future?"

With excitement that he himself was not aware of, Yasui Zhen tapped the wall with his fingers and said with a raised corner of his mouth:
"Ninja... you have to be able to run three or four meters on the wall first.

"Your run-up was too slow just now, but that's the case with all newbies.

"Your starting direction is wrong too, and the angle between you and the wall is too big. So your first few steps are OK, but you can't use the momentum from behind.

"The first foot placement is too low. I told you to place it slightly above your waist and to touch the wall with the ball of your foot or the side of your toes.

"My stride wasn't long enough, I mean my run-up stride, and then my wall stride was too long.

"And... never mind."

Just like when he hiked up the stone pillar before, he unbuttoned his collar and cuffs, and the corners of his mouth raised even higher.

"Let me demonstrate it to you first."
