Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 12 Her eyes are as handsome as mine
Satomi Mitsuzumi was reading at the desk. After greeting Kita no Xuanju, she closed the book and asked curiously:

"You seem to be back very late today...are you training?"

"Training? Hmm... I guess so. I'm not sure."

Shaking his head, Northern Black Horse looked around.

"Diamond-chan, I remember you had a dance mat? Can I use it? I'll buy a new one tomorrow!"

"The dance mat...it's right next to the closet, you can just use it."

"Mmmmm! Guang Zuan-chan, you're so nice!"

After thanking him with a smile, he went to the wardrobe, picked up the rolled-up dance mat, spread it out on the ground, and then Beibu Xuanju sat cross-legged on it.

After a slight smile and a nod, Satomi Hikari came closer, still curious.

It soon became apparent that her roommate's cross-legged sitting was odd.

The two well-defined calves did not cross downwards, but rather pointed upwards, causing the pair of white feet to almost turn over and stick to the knees.

The hand gestures were also strange, unlike those in shrines or dojos, where the hands were placed on the knees or on the lower abdomen.

Instead, his ten fingers crossed back and forth awkwardly, as if he was using sign language or shadow puppets.

"Xiaobei, what are you doing...?"

"Ah, that's what my trainer taught me after our walk."

Looking intently at his hands, Northern Xuanju said casually:

"It seems to be a hand seal of Bharata or Buddhism. Oh, by the way, the way I sit now was also taught by him."

"Bharat...Bharatism?"

"Yeah! That's it!"

Satomi Hikari became even more curious.

"I remember it was a South Asian religion, and Buddhism... seemed to have originated there as well?"

"Guang Zuan-chan, you know so much."

Still looking at his hands, Northern Xuanju praised:

"The trainer also said so, and then said that these hand seals and postures almost cover all the movements we can do. Regular practice will help me better control my own strength.

"But he just taught me these gestures and sitting postures. He said there are many more and he will teach me slowly according to my physical condition."

"...Sounds like a very good trainer."

Satomi Mitsuzumi exclaimed, "I've never heard of this kind of training method before, and..."

After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Beibu Xuanju's gesture for a while, raised her hands and thought for a moment, then tried to imitate it.

However, right from the start, she noticed something was wrong.

From her perspective, her roommate's hands were cupped together as if to receive water.

But I don't know how it happened, the two index fingers and two ring fingers "grew" out from each other as if by magic.

The next gesture is the same. It looks like an ordinary ten fingers crossed, but the normal overlapping of index fingers will definitely not give people the illusion of "tying a bow".

She and Beibu Xuanju certainly didn't know that these gestures, including the sitting posture, came from another world.

The extreme stunts in this world are still relatively backward, but these trainings were basic skills in Yasui's previous life. They integrated techniques from many sports fields and were essentially a form of physical exercise.

Once mastered, one can theoretically strike any posture in any situation, and this control naturally includes strength.

For humans, it is very difficult to learn this training method. If you force yourself to practice without sufficient talent, you will definitely get injured.

The physiques of horse racing girls are far stronger than humans, and Northern Black Horse's physical foundation is also at an excellent level among horse racing girls.

Plus, Yasui Shin was familiar with the training techniques, which allowed her to master them in a short time. Satomi Mitsuzumi couldn't imitate them, naturally lacking the skills.

"Phew—it's over...Ah! Kouzuna-chan! Don't try to copy my moves!"

After completing this special "before-sleep training" as instructed by An Jing Zhen, Beibu Xuanju panicked when he turned around and saw his roommate gesturing awkwardly with his hands.

"The trainer said that these poses look simple, but the techniques are difficult to perform. If you force yourself to do them, you might break a bone!"

“B-Broken bones…?!”

Ri Mitsuzuan was also startled and quickly let go of his hand.

At the same time, she also realized that she had just imitated a few gestures, but her finger joints were actually a little numb and a little tingling.

"...What a great trainer..."

Once again, she opened her eyes slightly in amazement.

"Yeah! The trainer is really awesome!"

Nodding in agreement, Beibu Xuanju stood up from the dance mat with a whoosh, carefully rolled up the mat and put it back next to the cabinet.

With some anticipation, she took out her cell phone, tapped a few times, and then held it upright in front of the light diamond.

"And look, Guang Zuan-chan! My Shining Tournament account! My trainer helped me set it up these past few days! And it already has followers!"

As soon as he approached, upon hearing what Northern Xuanju said, Satomi Kozuna's eyes widened, and in an instant, he said with envy and congratulations:

"Congratulations, Xiaobei. Now you've become a horse racing girl like your sister."

"Hehe, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time... Hehe——"

He turned over and lay on the bed, with his legs bent in the air, swinging back and forth, while Northern Xuanju held his cell phone happily.

"Now that I have a tournament account, I can see my follower count no matter what I do during a competition...

"Ah! Another increase in followers!
"And there are reviews! That's great!"

Still full of envy, Satomi Mitsuzumi came over, sat sideways next to Northern Xuanju, and leaned over to look at his phone.

The competitions among horse racing girls are collectively called the "Shining Star Series". Unlike other competitions, the Shining Series has a very clear "idol" component in addition to competition.

The competition adopts the "Grade system", and the levels from top to bottom are G1, G2, G3, OP, and Pre-OP. If you want to participate in a certain level of competition, you need a corresponding number of fans.

The "tournament account" is one of the symbols that Uma Musume has officially entered the Shining Series. This account is interconnected with many platforms and can count the number of fans on all online platforms.

Unlike her roommate Kita Genju and her sister Satomi Hikarie, although Satomi Kozuna was admitted to Central Academy because of her academic performance and physical fitness, she has not yet reached her full potential and is temporarily unable to participate in intense competitions and training.

That's great! Xiaobei already has a tournament account like her sister...

But the doctor at home said that I will probably be able to play next year...

By the time……

"Diamond-chan! Do you think my eyes are handsome?"

Just as he was secretly cheering himself up, he suddenly heard Beibu Xuanju's shout. In a blink of an eye, Satomi Mitsuzu discovered that his roommate had sat up at some point and was looking at him expectantly.

"Hmm...very handsome."

Although he didn't know why he asked that, after looking at the bright eyes of Northern Black Horse for a while, Ri Mikatsuzumi nodded and then became puzzled.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden...?"

"Well, it's because of the fans' comments."

Holding up his phone with a smile, Northern Xuanju said confidently:

"'Her eyes are as beautiful as mine. A child like her will definitely become an excellent horse racing girl!'
“I don’t know who this fan is, but I’m really glad he said that!
"And I also believe that I can become an excellent horse girl!"
