Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 141 No One Understands Fear Better Than Me
We said we would talk about it tomorrow, but it was already Monday morning when we actually saw the Northern Black Horse.

It would be good to rest early. In any case, when we met again, the girl had regained her usual energy.

"I give up!"

The first time he saw An Jingzhen, Beibu Xuanju said excitedly:

"I can't figure it out on my own, so fight for your life and win at all costs. Leave it all to the trainer!
"I believe in you, Trainer!"

It took Yasui Shin a while to understand what this meant. He pinched his chin and lowered his head in thought.

Although the specific statements were different, Da Zhenhan said something similar during the review.

Not only was it a big shock, but Zhou and the others were also shocked as well.

Based on these experiences and the data obtained from the training games, he has already come up with a new idea for special training.

But compared to what has already been confirmed, he is not sure about the effect of this one.

So when he looked at Northern Xuanju again, he pointed to the playground track and arranged routine training.

In the training match, although the performance in the first half was abnormal, Northern Black Horse clearly showed the effect of special training in handling the slope after the third turn.

The slopes on the runway cannot be straight up or down, but after strengthening the ability to move in the vertical direction, it is naturally much easier to handle much smaller angles.

However, in the previous special training, they were not proficient enough in the heights of several slopes corresponding to the actual slopes of the Japanese Derby. Now they are going to strike while the iron is hot and improve their proficiency by taking advantage of the gains from the training match.

The skills you have mastered, such as arc positioning, gradient acceleration, and changing feet in the air, must not be forgotten, and they must be adjusted according to the characteristics of the new event.

The task is not small, but there are still about two weeks before the Japan Derby, which is more than enough time.

Soon, the early morning playground track was filled with the shouts of "Hey Ya" from the Northern Black Colt.

……

In the evening, at the Tresen Academy dance hall.

In the empty hall, Yasui Zhen placed a cushion several meters square in the middle and placed a chair in the corner of the cushion.

The chair is very special. The upper part is a normal high-back chair with armrests, and the lower part has only one leg.

There is a metal pull ring at the top of the chair back, and a rope as thick as a wrist is tied to the pull ring.

The rope is more than ten meters long and goes around the beam of the hall in the middle.

He walked to the pillar with the other end in hand and fixed a pulley set with a buckle on the pillar. Then, An Jingzhen fixed the other end of the rope to the pulley set and the buckle.

After doing all this, An Jingzhen waved to Kita no Xuanju who was standing beside him with a curious look on his face and pointed at the one-legged chair.

"Come. Sit."

"Is this chair safe to sit on?"

As he spoke doubtfully, Northern Xuanju came over obediently and sat on the chair.

She first put her feet on the ground, then stood on tiptoe, gripped the handrail, and swayed slightly.

"I can't sit still at all, trainer..."

"What we want is instability."

Nodding, Yasui Shin pondered for a moment, "In short, this is a very special... special training.

"Special training for the field."

"field?"

Northern Black Horse's eyes lit up.

Yasui Zhen did not hide the word "field" from her.

She also asked her seniors and knew that in this state she could burst out with strength beyond her usual level.

Moreover, no matter whether it is horse girls, trainers, or researchers who have been exposed to the field, they can explain how to master this state.

She wasn't particularly disappointed.

The trainer also said that no matter how strong the domain is, it will not transform a person completely. As long as the regular training is solid enough and the strength is strong enough, one can win the game without the domain.

But what was unexpected was that, whereas before he looked like he didn't know how to master the field, An Jingzhen now looked confident.

She had no doubt about her ability as a trainer and became excited all of a sudden.

"Trainer, do you know how to master the field?"

"master?"

Yasui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "That's not the case.

"It's too complicated to explain. Let me show you how to do it. Remember the posture I taught you? Sit cross-legged on a chair, keep your balance, and look straight ahead."

It has long been Beibu Xuanju's habit to practice the postures he has just received instruction on every day when he wakes up and before going to bed.

Hearing this, she obediently tucked her legs in and looked forward.

At the same time, the two ears turned curiously towards Yasui Zhen, wanting to know what was going on.

Soon, the familiar footsteps faded away for a moment, and seemed to have reached the pillar where the rope was tied.

rope……

Wait, could it be... ?
With a thought in his mind, Beibu Xuanju subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the rope passing through the beam in the hall.

Before she could see clearly, a sudden and familiar feeling instantly invaded her whole body.

It was as if the blood and qi were being sucked away, and the coldness spread from the fingertips to the torso in the blink of an eye, and then from the torso straight to the top of the head.

This is... a field?!

When this thought burst into her mind, her blood returned and she realized that her guess was correct.

Just like what Yasui Zhen said, the one-legged chair I was sitting on just now was unstable.

It was the instability that caused her to fall as soon as the rope loosened, causing her to fall backwards unexpectedly, and causing her to experience a feeling similar to that in the field at the moment of falling.

"Trainer, this...?!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Beibu Xuanju jumped up from the cushion and looked at Anjing Zhen with wide eyes.

"That's how you feel."

Nodding, Yasui Zhen said in a deep voice:

“I’ve asked your predecessors and you, and I’ve found that when it comes to fields, you all use the same word.

"fear.

“I can’t participate in competitions like yours, and I can’t figure out why I’m afraid.

“This training match reminded me.

“It doesn’t matter why you’re afraid, and I don’t know how to teach you to master the field.

“But I can teach you how to face your fear.

"after all……"

He suddenly paused and turned his gaze to the night outside the dance hall window.

Perhaps I am the person who understands fear best in this world...?
After a moment of distraction, he looked back and continued as if nothing had happened:
"In extreme stunts, many performances are performed at high altitudes, on cliffs, and in the deep sea.

“Fear of falling, visual cliff effect, suffocation…

“These are the fears that no living creature can escape throughout its life.

“This special training now simulates the fear of falling.

"If you can adapt, no matter what happens in the Japan derby or future events, you will not be affected.

"because……"

He and Northern Xuanju looked at each other.

"You've faced your fears countless times."

Looking back at An Jingzhen, Kita no Xuanju said nothing.

The shock and blankness of the previous moment, the experience of the training match and Gaoyue Award, kept flashing back in my mind like a movie.

In the flashback, there was a back figure like a high wall or mountain that made her unwilling and regretful.

Face...fear?

So at that time, I was not only unwilling, not only regretful...

Are you still afraid...?
His fists clenched silently, and crescent-shaped stings lingered in his palms.

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then she still silently picked up the fallen chair and sat on it.

"Excuse me, trainer...

"Come again."
