Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 16 Tournament Arrangement
In this life, the parents of Yasui Shin have always been very patient and tolerant towards their eccentric and extremely "precocious" son, and have never interfered too much with him.

Over time, he gradually accepted this kind of family love that he had never experienced in his previous life, was willing to listen to other people, and even opened his heart to his parents.

During this period of contact, he was deeply touched by the vitality and liveliness of the Northern Black Horse, and unknowingly experienced the so-called youth.

Therefore, he was willing to talk more with his horse racing girl and listen to her ideas.

"The answer...Ah! Oops!"

After being puzzled and surprised, Beibu Xuanju scratched his cheek embarrassedly.

"After I told Guang Zuan-chan that day, I was going to tell the trainer the next day, but I was so focused on that stone that I forgot..."

Instead, she took a deep breath and looked at An Jingzhen seriously.

“I’ve thought about it, Trainer.

"I want to challenge the classic triple crown."

Yasui Makoto didn't care about the little negligence of his carefree horse racing girl.

He was also not surprised by the answer of "Classic Triple Crown".

The Emperor's Spring Viewing, the Emperor's Autumn Viewing, the Takarazuka Kinen, the Arima Kinen... these are the top events, and they are extremely special even in G1.

If you have to choose the most special one, all horse racing girls will say it is the classic triple crown without hesitation.

There is only one chance in a lifetime, and this limitation alone infinitely elevates its significance.

Over the past century, only seven out of the thousands of horse racing girls have won the classic triple crown at the same time, and only a few have won two of them.

The Emperor of the East China Sea won the Double Crown Horse Girl Contest, and is the undefeated Double Crown Horse Girl Contestant.

It doesn't take much thought to guess Kita no Xuanju's thoughts on idolizing this kind of horse girl.

"The classic triple crown?... I get it."

Nodding, Yasui Zhen began to slide the tablet.

"Then I'll apply for the 'Spring Tournament' for you first, and then prepare for your debut match based on this competition."

"Okay! No problem...wait!"

He nodded vigorously as if instinctively, and Northern Black Horse was stunned.

"...Should we start signing up now, Trainer?"

"if not?"

Pausing at the event application interface, An Jingzhen looked at Northern Xuanju.

“It’s January now, and the debut match is in January.

"In February, I'll apply for a competition to accumulate the necessary number of fans.

“In March, the three preliminary battles for the Yayoi Sho, Spring Sho, and Wakaba Sho are all held at this time.

"April is the Gaoyue Award. If I don't apply now, will I have to pay a lot of money to apply later?"

The "supplementary reporting system" was gradually established in the Shining series in recent generations.

In the past, if you failed to register for certain events within the specified time, you missed it and there was no chance to register again.

This situation has actually been criticized for a long time, but the URA Association has never paid attention to it.

It was not until the “Eternal Three Generations” caused a stir in the industry that relevant proposals were drafted and refined in the following years.

One of the protagonists of that shock was Oguruma, who had previously delivered meals to Yasui Makoto and Kita no Genjuma.

Because of their rural origins, the legendary horse girl and her trainer initially had no intention of participating in the Triple Crown Classic.

Later, at a local competition, the former student council president Lu Duo was impressed by Ogurimao's talent and invited him to come to the central university to participate in a higher-level competition.

However, due to the lack of a supplementary reporting system, Oguri did not participate in the Classic Triple Crown.

It would have been fine if her performance in the central government was mediocre, but in a series of major competitions, she repeatedly defeated the champions of the Gaoyue Sho and the Kikuka Sho, and her strength was impeccable.

This caused great regret and dissatisfaction among fans and the industry, so the URA Association launched the "supplementary reporting system."

This system also avoided many regrets later on. For example, the good opera known as "Ba Wang" missed the application deadline and had to go through the supplementary application process.

Furthermore, I recall that in the parallel world, Kita no Genju was also relatively unpopular upon debut, and the training camp only realized it afterward and registered for the Satsuki Shogi. However, while it was possible to make up for the competition, the fee was quite high, at a whopping 200 million yen, and this world is no different.

It's not that Yasui really needs the money.

Coming to Tokyo to live alone, in addition to the living expenses given by his family, he saved a lot of money from working part-time in his first year of high school. During this period, he paid for the training equipment bought for Northern Xuanju out of his own pocket.

But confidence can help this horse girl achieve excellent results in the Classic Triple Crown, so there is definitely no need to waste the money on the supplementary registration fee.

"I see... I'm sorry, Trainer."

After listening to An Jingzhen's arrangements and counter-questions, Kitamoto Xuanju blamed himself.

"I'm not too clear about these things. I should understand them with you..."

"It's not your problem. You just started school and there's a lot of knowledge you haven't learned yet."

Yasui Zhen shook his head.

"And this is the trainer's job. I'll explain it to you later, and you'll learn it in class."

After adding this sentence, An Jingzhen started to operate the declaration interface again.

"So, the debut match in January, a qualifying match in February, a preliminary match in March, and the Gaoyue Sho in April.

"If there are no problems, I will apply in this order?"

"Okay, I'll listen to the trainer."

Nodding obediently, Northern Black Horse came over curiously.

Seeing An Jingzhen filling in various information on the application form, she looked at it for a while, blinked, and asked in confusion:
"By the way, trainer, if you're going to sign up for the preliminary round of the Gaoyue Sho, why not the Yayoi Sho or the Wakaba Sho?

"I actually..."

She pursed her lips and said expectantly:
"I've actually wondered if I'd fight Crown-chan at the Yayoi Sho."

"Satoshi Crown?"

Looking up with a bit of surprise, Yasui Zhen thought for a moment.

"Didn't you two agree to see who's better or something?"

"That's not the case. After all..."

Scratching his head, Northern Xuanju felt embarrassed.

"Although this may sound a bit discouraging, Crown-chan is indeed much better than me.

“I come from a large family, and there are many people in my family who work in associations and academies, and there are also seniors who are still in service.

"She has good upbringing and excellent grades. She has always been among the top students in our class.

“Also, he debuted last year and has already won two games in a row.

“If I really compete with Crown-chan, I feel… the pressure is quite high.

"But!
"If you back down when you feel pressured, what's the point of becoming a Uma Musume like the Emperor?"

Sweeping away her previous embarrassment, the black-haired girl said more seriously than ever before:

"If we really compare pressure, what our seniors went through was much more painful than what I have experienced.

"If that experience couldn't defeat my senior, how could I give up before I even started?

"So rest assured, trainer. No matter who I meet, I will fight with all my might to the end!"

...I didn't expect that he, who usually looks silly, could show such a side of himself now.

"it is good."

Smiling with satisfaction, Yasui Zhen said in a deep voice:
"As your trainer, I will accompany you to the end."

"Ok!"

Smiling excitedly, Northern Xuanju nodded vigorously.
