Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 159: Power works miracles

In the following week, in addition to regular training and endurance training, Northern Black Horse has been trying to learn the escape technique from Silent Suzuka.

However, even without being reminded, she could feel that it would be difficult for her to master these skills as easily as her predecessors.

She is also a racehorse girl who is good at leading the race and knows the importance of posture, center of gravity and push-off when leaving the gate.

Only by entering a near-sprinting state at the start can you grab the lead at the start of the race and lay the foundation for subsequently widening the gap.

However, what Silent Suzuka teaches is definitely not a start that most horse girls can do.

Even the horse girls who are good at leading can't do it.

If you want to be one step ahead when exiting the gate, in addition to techniques such as posture, you must also adjust your condition through warm-up in advance and have faster explosive power.

The subsequent lead depends on the natural improvement of the body's condition during the race, as well as the help from the track and even the opponents.

For example, leveraging on uphill and downhill slopes, curves, etc., and the atmosphere during the sprint to the finish line.

Even after several months of training and several official competitions, Northern Black Horse is very clear that every time he takes the lead at the start of the race, it is because of his extraordinary strength.

Suzuka-senpai's strength is obviously not as strong as mine, but he can have a faster starting speed without too much warm-up.

More importantly, the predecessors achieved this without any help from the runway, opponents, or atmosphere.

So how can we get into this state from the beginning...?
For several days in a row, whether in training or resting, Beibu Xuanju thought about this question from time to time.

Not only did she ponder it herself, but after each parallel run, she would ask Wusheng Suzuka and Yasui Zhen.

After the training that day, upon hearing Northern Xuanju's question again, Silent Suzuka pondered:

"I don't know much about theoretical matters, so I think Mr. Yasui should explain this."

Glancing at Yasui Shin who was busy sorting out data, she continued:
"Just speaking of my form... I'm probably the type of horse girl who's more likely to run at high speed.

“I think it’s been like this since I was little. Back then, I didn’t think about becoming a horse girl or anything like that. I just loved running freely.

“Whether I’m with friends or alone, as long as I can run without worries, I’ll be happy.

"As for this, actually, when we arrived at Tresen Academy..."

She paused suddenly.

In her opinion, her military career can be divided into three stages.

When she first passed the assessment and entered Tresen Academy, she was very happy, feeling that she could finally run freely on a better stage.

She soon discovered that running for competition was completely different from the carefree days of her childhood.

Training is actually very boring.

For example, when exiting a gate, you need to practice every day at the beginning. Each time you enter the gate, wait for the signal, and exit the gate, repeating this process. You need to practice for one or two hours each time.

This is the same as other training. Only the content of the tasks changes, while the monotony and repetition themselves remain unchanged.

These trainings would eventually turn into instructions before the competition, and the competition became less free and easy, and she would need to run this way or that way.

It’s not that I get tired of running because of the monotony and repetition. After all, no horse girl hates running.

But gradually, she felt that she was getting further and further away from her goal or dream of entering Tresen Academy.

Then she won some games, lost some games, and met a trainer, and she finally rediscovered her original feeling.

She doesn't need to pay too much attention to instructions or anything like that, or rather, there is only one instruction in her subsequent competitions.

Run as fast as you want.

It’s not that she doesn’t think about anything else, but she practices the skills required for the competition every day and doesn’t need to worry about it as much as before.

At this time, she was happy with every race she ran.

Although an accident occurred later due to this running method and I made adjustments after returning to the competition, the feeling of freedom on the competition field did not disappear.

She had found her own way of running. Recalling this, she thought back to her initial decision not to support the Northern Xuanju's escape.

This type of running is rare in competition, not only because the Great Escape is difficult to win for various reasons, but also because of the various requirements for talent.

She was originally unsure whether the younger generation, Northern Xuanju, had this talent, but now she was only partially certain.

So these days, rather than teaching skills, it is more like trying to help Northern Black Horse so that she can find a running style that is completely her own.

"In short, after going through a lot, I was able to slowly transform my talent into skills that I could use in competitions."

His thoughts were quickly withdrawn, and Silent Suzuka changed the subject.

"Your talent is different from mine. Even though I'm teaching you my experience, it doesn't mean you have to run exactly like me.

“And you don’t have to worry too much.

"I've been talking to Mr. Yasui these past few days, and I'm pretty sure your starting speed is better than before."

"really?"

Beibu Xuanju, who had been listening attentively, suddenly became a little excited.

She looked at the smiling Silent Suzuka, and then at Yasui Makoto.

"Trainer, what about my performance...?"

"Well... that's what the data shows."

The data was almost sorted out, and Yasui Zhen raised his eyes from the tablet.

"Suzuka-san is right. Even if you have mastered certain escape techniques, there is still a big difference between you two in terms of specific execution."

He turned the tablet screen around and brought up a table showing various curves and broken lines.

“Look, this is your gate performance in recent days, and the comparison with Suzuka-san.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just looking at the heart rate, Suzuka-san's time to enter a high-frequency heart rate is obviously faster than yours.

"The higher the heart rate, the higher the energy conversion efficiency, which is one of the reasons why she can quickly enter a high-speed state.

"Comparatively speaking, you're a little slower in this regard.

"But that's not a problem. Your mitochondrial conversion... your energy conversion efficiency is already quite high. Or to put it more simply, you're naturally quite strong, which can equate to speed to a certain extent."

After changing his words twice in a row, seeing Kita nod thoughtfully, An Jing Zhen suddenly smiled.

"This situation... can be called a miracle of great strength."

Upon hearing this, Northern Xuanju was stunned, and then scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Compared to my seniors, I do... hehe, I'm much stronger."

On the other side, Wusheng Suzuka and Miyu, who had also finished assisting and running, were also laughing. After laughing, Wusheng Suzuka looked at Yasui Makoto.

"The technique of the great escape... Xiaobei does have some mastery, but this shouldn't be the focus of Mr. Yasui's plan, right?"

Seeing An Jingzhen nod, she continued to ask:

"The Chrysanthemum Shooting Competition is ultimately a test of endurance, and there are still more than two months left... Mr. Yasui probably doesn't want to train until then."

"Of course not... Actually, I've already made arrangements for it in the schedule."

Nodding, Yasui Zhen turned a little surprised.

"On September 9st, the St. Regis Memorial, Xiaobei will have to run this preliminary battle first.

"Why, she didn't tell you?"
