Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 132 New Candidates for the Training Match

After An Jingzhen's reminder, Beibu Xuanju lay on the cushion for a while, staring blankly at the sky for a long time, before he got up, rubbed his wrist guard, and looked An Jingzhen up and down.

"……What's wrong?"

Subconsciously asking, Yasui Zhen became nervous, "Are you injured? Let me take a look..."

Without waiting for Beifang Xuanju to react, he leaned over, grabbed Beifang Xuanju's wrist, and untied the Velcro on the wristband.

In the morning light, the skin on the girl's wrist, soaked with sweat, glowed with the luster of mother-of-pearl.

There were no scratches or bruises, and the light pink indentation left by the Velcro on the wristband was gradually fading with blood circulation.

When you touch it with your fingertips, you can clearly feel the soft touch through your skin.

This is the fascia elasticity created by long-term various trainings, and it contains powerful power like a fully drawn compound bowstring.

Following the fascia and light blue blood vessels to the wrist joint, the arcs of the intersecting ulna and radius are very smooth, and there is nothing unusual from the touch of the metacarpal bones and phalanges to the joint connection.

He then touched the base of his palm.

Generally, this part is the one that touches the ground subconsciously when you fall. If the angle formed with the ground is not in a straight line with the center of gravity of the body, you may still get injured.

So if I had fallen just now, it would have been in this position.

Yet, within reach, the calluses from previous strength training remain the same, as hard as the rubber particles in cleats.

There is nothing wrong with the condition of the muscles and bones. It may even be a little painful if you press it a little harder.

"There are no scrapes or bruises, and the muscle tone and bone feel are normal..."

Holding Kita no Xuanju's wrist and palm, Yasui Zhen looked at the cushion with doubt, muttering to himself:
"Could it be some other part? But that's impossible..."

"I-I'm fine, Trainer..."

Beibu Xuanju finally reacted. She quickly pulled her hand back and unconsciously touched the place that An Jingzhen had just checked.

"Just now... I suddenly realized that you could actually joke..."

"Are you kidding?" Yasui was stunned.

"how to say……"

Nodding his chin, Northern Xuanju recalled:

"Before, you either consoled me or explained how to train. You never said things like 'I haven't trained enough.'"

After recalling the same thing, Yasui Shin realized that it was similar to what Kitamoto Genju said. He would tell some jokes to ease the atmosphere, but he had never made any jokes with himself, the horse girl.

"But I told Guang Zuan-chan before that the trainer has changed a bit recently, so this is quite good."

Northern Xuanju continued:
“It’s not that the past was bad, it’s just that sometimes it was a little too serious, and I felt pressured occasionally.

"What should I say now..."

She suddenly smiled.

"It's probably just like what Crown-chan said, the trainer isn't very old to begin with.

"Having things you enjoy, making jokes like the one you just made, that's what you're supposed to do at this age.

"But since the trainer said so...Okay!"

Her expression changed again, and she waved her fist excitedly.

"If you haven't practiced enough, keep practicing!

"Shall I begin, trainer?"

……

During the special training breaks in the following few days, Yasui Makoto couldn't help but think about his so-called "changes".

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be exactly the same as what Northern Xuanju said.

At the beginning, whether it was training, competition or daily interactions, all he subconsciously thought about was how to use all kinds of knowledge and experience to guide himself, the horse girl.

After spending several months together day and night, the relationship between the mentor and the mentee has changed unconsciously.

He got used to the girl's obedience, understanding, and hard work, and gradually began to pay attention to her daily life and mood. The most recent changes were the most significant.

Because of the common topic of extreme stunts, as well as the extended hobbies such as traveling and movies, deep down in his heart he has already regarded Beibu Xuanju as a fellow enthusiast and a peer.

When we get along, it feels more relaxed and comfortable, just like when we were training with colleagues.

Or should I say, as Satomi Kōran said, his emotions and behaviors are becoming more and more like what a person of this age should have.

This way of getting along is obviously better than before.

He didn't know what Beibu Xuanju was thinking, but he now felt that he could understand the other person's emotions better and could occasionally guess some of his thoughts.

This not only improves the efficiency of training, but also makes daily interactions more comfortable.

With this discovery, he couldn't help but look forward to the future and feel more confident about the upcoming training and competitions.

After the training ended that day, as usual, they summarized the gains and losses. Yasui was really planning to go to the cafeteria for dinner with Kita no Genju, when he suddenly received a text message from Tekishu.

When Yasui Shin opened the text message, Kitaguchi Genju, who was helping to clean up the equipment as usual, asked curiously.

"Another meeting, Trainer?"

"That's not the case. It's a message from classmate Zhou Teji... huh?"

After browsing the information, Yasui was surprised and looked towards the college cafeteria.

"Especially Senior Zhou..."

Northern Xuanju suddenly became nervous.

"Could it be that something happened and he can't participate in the training match? That would be such a pity..."

The participants for the weekend training match have already been decided, and the number of horse girls who will assist will be the same as last time.

In addition to the two triple crown horse girls, Golden Master and Big Shock, the other two are Vodka and Special Week.

Yasui Zhen had considered a long time ago that the Japanese Derby won by Vodka had unique reference value, and if there was a chance, he must let Kita no Xuanju try to run the 2400-meter race with the opponent.

In addition to the competition experience, another advantage of Special Week is the preparation for the "Summer Dream Cup".

Since arriving in Tokyo, the horse racing girl has been doing recovery training for the competition in a few months.

She already had extensive experience in self-training, and had originally had help from Yamato, Akagi, and Vodka.

Now that good friend Silent Suzuka has also come to Tokyo, the training level has naturally been further improved.

However, the content of the text message was not what Beibu Xuanju thought, but Tetian Zhou mentioned that another friend also wanted to help.

"Can you please stop being so pessimistic?"

Putting away his phone, he glanced at Kita no Xuanju with amusement and shook his head.

"Don't worry, it's good news. One of Zhou's friends recently came to Tokyo, and she's also been invited to the Summer Dream Cup.

"I heard you were planning on participating in the Japanese Derby, and she'd be happy to help you out."

"Eh? Is that so?"

After being surprised, Northern Black Horse quickly became excited.

"If he wants to participate in the Dream Cup, he must be a very powerful senior.

"I must thank Senior Xiao Te very much afterwards. She must have been the one who invited me.

"By the way, trainer, who is this senior? Did Senior Xiao Te mention him?"

"Well, she even sent me her past competition records and files, as if to make me disagree."

Pointing to the phone in his pocket, An Jingzhen joked, with a strange look in his eyes.

“This one’s words…

“Flying on the grass.

"You should know Xiaobei, right?"
