Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 162 Golden Generation
After the voice stopped abruptly, Northern Xuanju fell silent.

She hadn't thought too much about it when she asked the question.

Only after exiting the car did I realize belatedly that during the Emperor's Autumn Viewing event with Golden Journey senior, Silent Suzuka senior had a serious accident after passing the fourth turn and broke his leg.

Although she recovered after long-term treatment after the race, for every horse racing girl, a fracture is always something that is difficult to let go and something that must be avoided.

She suddenly regretted not thinking.

However, just as regret emerged in her heart, she felt a warm and soft hand pressing on her head.

She raised her head in surprise and met Silent Suzuka's eyes with a comforting smile, and she was stunned.

"Suzuka-senpai..."

"Don't worry too much, Xiaobei."

Smiling, Silent Suzuka said softly: "It's all in the past, I don't care about it.

“It’s better to say that it was because of that experience that I became a rehabilitation therapist.

“No one wants to suffer a broken bone. We all want to be free and keep running.

"I can't predict anything, so if that's the case, I should do my best to avoid more heartbreaking things after the accident. That's what I should do.

"At least that's what I think."

Beibu Xuanju was even more surprised. She didn't expect that the senior could be so indifferent to the past.

At the same time, Mi Yu also looked over with a comforting look.

“Mi’s thoughts…are similar to Suzuka’s.

"Takarazuka Kinen, Mi also encountered the same thing as Suzuka...

“I’m not as good as Suzuka, but I also want to do something for everyone, so I want to become a nutritionist after retiring.

"If you eat well and are healthier, there won't be any accidents.

"That's what Mi thought."

Silent Suzuka smiled and said, "Nutritionist...Miyu has been making a lot of delicious meals lately."

"Is that so?" Mi Yu said a little embarrassedly, "I just want Xiaobei to eat better..."

At this time, Beibu Xuanju had already realized that the two seniors were just trying to comfort her or change the subject. She suddenly felt a little cheered up and no longer worried about her previous slip of the tongue.

"Yeah! I also think the food cooked by Mi Yu-senpai is delicious!"

She nodded repeatedly and said, "The first few times I thought it was provided by the hotel. I was really surprised to find out that it was Senior Mi Yu who went to the kitchen to cook!"

"Is that so?" Mi Yu smiled sheepishly, feeling even more embarrassed. "As long as Xiaobei likes it."

Seeing that Kita no Xuanju was no longer worried or guilty about his past, Silent Suzuka nodded secretly.

She also held a brochure in her hand, and she lowered her head to flip through it, memories emerging in her eyes.

“As for the journey, I remember running with her to see the autumn scenery at the Emperor’s.

"Later, when I was in the hospital, I watched the match tape and thought she would win. Unfortunately, she wasted some distance on the final straight line by going diagonally. As for the championship...

"It should have been an offside trap, as I recall."

After the comfort just now, Kita no Xuanju was not surprised that Silent Suzuka took the initiative to mention the Emperor's autumn viewing event where the accident happened.

She thought for a moment, flipped through the manual, and asked curiously:
"To be able to achieve such a result... Senior Journey must be very strong.

"But if we only look at the wins, she seems..." She hesitated to speak.

"Not quite as expected, is it?"

Speaking on behalf of Northern Xuanju, Silent Suzuka's tone became emotional.

"Luxing is indeed very strong. I remember that before that Tianqiu, she had already won three G3 races as runner-up.

"Generally speaking, winning a G1 runner-up can be considered luck, but winning three times is enough to prove one's ability... Of course, it can also be considered bad luck.

“But the Shine Series… that’s what it is.

“The journey… simply encountered a powerful generation.

"But she didn't give up."

Suddenly changing the subject, Silent Suzuka's eyes gleamed with respect. "After all, she did win the HK Ping G1 match before retiring, and... Xiaobei, you can calculate how long it took her."

"how long……?"

He quickly looked at the manual, counted on his fingers and muttered something, then looked back at Silent Suzuka in surprise.

"A full... 5 years?!"

Silent Suzuka nodded and said, "Before that G1 match, I remember she only had two or three wins.

"One of the more outstanding ones... I remember the Lake Akan Special when I first debuted.

“It seems that the only major prize winner is the Meguro Kinen.

"In the rest of the events, she unfortunately either came in second or third.

“Other horse girls might have given up, but she didn’t.

"Five years, no one knows what she was thinking or what she went through during those five years.

"But she finally had her own G1."

Northern Black Horse was not unaware of some of the anecdotes about the Golden Journey, and he had just read a lot of introductions in the brochure.

But before Silent Suzuka mentioned the G5 that took five years to get, she didn't have any deep experience.

At this moment, after hearing the words of the senior in front of her, she suddenly realized that many short sentences in manuals, publicity and anecdotes may contain the entire career of a horse girl.

5 years... If it were me, would I be able to endure for such a long time and wait for the final G1 victory...

No, it should be said that it has been 6 years. After winning the HK bottle, Mr. Journey is still running...

6 years... I don't think I've ever heard of a horse girl who could run that long and win a G1...

If it were me...

Kita no Xuanju couldn't help but think silently. Seeing this, Wusheng Suzuka, Miyu and Yasui Shin who had been listening quietly did not disturb him.

After a while.

"I... maybe I understand something."

With a look of realization, Northern Xuanju raised his head and smiled.

Without saying what she understood, she flipped through the manual again and began to think.

"According to Suzuka-senpai, Journey-senpai is very strong, but it's a pity that he met a powerful generation.

"So, it would be very difficult for her to win this Dream Cup... right?
"because……"

She pointed to the manual and turned to a page with a poster that looked like a group photo.

"The seniors in this competition are all from the same generation, right?"

Looking at the poster, memories and emotions welled up in Silent Suzuka's eyes.

"Yes, they are almost from the same period. Let me see, here..."

“Well… the offside trap is also there, and Fu Lai is also there.

"And the two sisters from the Mejiro family... I remember that Journey and Guangming should have gone to the Emperor to enjoy the spring.

"And then... Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi, Aerial Holy War, Phalaenopsis... these debuted a little later than Journey and the others, but they're all from the same generation.

"After that..."

She smiled unconsciously, and at the same time, there was a glint of caution in her eyes.

"You are familiar with Senior Xiaote, Senior Xiaocao, and..."

“The halo, the sky, the condor.

"It's difficult. I mean, if Xiaobei were to ask if she could beat these opponents, I can only say..."

She shrugged helplessly.

"It's hard."
