Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 166 Beautiful Exit

When Yasui Makoto looked towards the debut circle, he saw another horse racing girl walking out behind Mejiro Mitsuaki on the screen facing the stands.

He has long dark brown hair and purple eyes. His temperament is different from that of Mingbai Mubai, and he looks a little cold. However, he looks somewhat similar to the former.

After approaching Mejiro Kouyou, the horse girl seemed a little helpless. She patted Mejiro Kouyou's shoulder, and the latter came back to his senses from greeting the camera.

After that, he made an apologetic gesture, smiled and whispered something, then Mejiro Mitsuaki walked towards the stage and left the stage to the new horse girl.

"Senior Guangming... seems to be really slow-tempered, ahahaha..."

Looking at the scene in the debut circle, he felt awkward for a moment, then Northern Xuanju quickly said excitedly:
"And this one... is Mejiro Dober-senpai. McQueen-senpai's family is truly filled with talented people."

In order to echo the emotion of Northern Xuanju, the commentator's introduction also echoed over the stadium.

5G1 wins, 4 crowns and wins for females, voted the best active female racehorse for consecutive years, and one of the top female racehorses of the century...

As the glory of Mejiro Dober came out from the radio one by one, hundreds of thousands of viewers raised waves of cheers.

In fact, this cheering never stopped from the beginning of the appearance, and it reached a climax as one star after another appeared.

The cheers reached their peak when the horse racing girls entered the gate.

"Finally! The much-anticipated Summer Dream Cup is about to begin!"

The commentary was obviously more excited than usual, “Under the scorching August sun, the highly anticipated celebrity horse racing ladies have prepared a thrilling feast!

"After the gates were opened, the contestants' expressions were quite inspiring. How will these highly motivated contestants respond to the expectations of their enthusiastic fans?

"So, Summer Dream Cup, Tokyo G1 Grass 2000m, left turn, right now...

"Start!"

The moment the announcement was made, Yasui Shinzo held his breath unconsciously, just like hundreds of thousands of spectators.

As the hallucinatory sound of metal popping rang in his ears, his eyes, which were fixed on the gate, couldn't help but light up.

It is obviously different from other shining series. Even compared with various G1 prizes, the current start is obviously more pleasing to the eye.

As if they had rehearsed countless times and this moment was a performance rather than a competition, a moment after the gates opened, dozens of figures were embedded in the track as precisely as gears meshing.

In another blink of an eye, with the same tacit understanding, a light green figure suddenly emerged and instantly grabbed the first place.

“A very nice exit!”

The commentator excitedly shouted, "It's Qingyun Tiankong! Qingyun Tiankong lived up to everyone's expectations and took first place, once again showing us a superb lead!"

"The seniors' exit..."

With a startled gaze, Northern Xuanju couldn't help but murmur, "It's really beautiful! It feels completely different from our competition!"

"That's natural."

Without even turning his head, Yasui Zhen couldn't help but echo:

"They have played and trained much more than you, and more importantly, they know each other so well.

"In this match, the only one who's good at leading is Qingyun Tiankong. Even Juhuashang can escape and win. It's completely pointless to try to catch the rhythm with such an opponent in the early stages. It's better to let her take the lead.

"By the way, Xiaobei, regardless of the final outcome, you are just like Qingyun Tiankong, a runaway horse. Remember to pay more attention to how this senior handles various situations."

"Hey! I got it!"

His body tensed reflexively, his tail lifted, and he responded loudly. However, Northern Black Horse couldn't help but glance around the entire team, unable to fully focus on Qingyun Tiankong who was leading the team.

In less than a blink of an eye, she suddenly frowned.

"But... in this kind of competition, will there be loopholes?"

She stared at the end of the group that had just left the race.

As if a step behind, the Mejiro Kouyou mentioned earlier by Yasui Makoto was running there.

At this moment, the commentary and commentary began to ring in. "The last player on the team is Mitsuaki Mejiro. She seems to be late, just like in previous matches."

"For Mejiro Mitsukoshi, chasing after the opponent is her strong point, and she was famous for her 'unheard of' last kick during her career, so the last position is not a limitation for her."

Yasui Zhen also said: "It can't be considered a complete leak.

"I should have told you that every response in your game is individual.

"For example, when exiting a gate, from the gate opening to brain awareness and then to reaction, this process has a limit on reaction time.

"Theoretically, your average reaction time is about 100 to 200 milliseconds, and after special training it can be stabilized at around 150 milliseconds.

“But some horse girls naturally have longer reaction times.

"I've read some information about Mejiro Komeito, and she's in that situation. When she debuted, her reaction time on the gate test was a full 310 milliseconds.

"She was naturally going to be a little slow in this situation, and it was even more noticeable when compared to her strong competitors of the same period."

Yasui Makoto's explanation was delivered quickly, mixed in with the noisy cheers.

However, Northern Xuanju still understood it roughly. After all, the concept of "reaction time" was something he had learned during training and classes.

When she was mentioned again by Yasui Makoto, and after looking at Mejiro Guangming's game for a while, she suddenly seemed to understand something.

"I see……"

Pointing to the end of the race team on the track, she tentatively said:
"Senior Guangming... should be aware of her weaknesses, so she is positioned very close to the inner path!"

Upon hearing this, An Jingzhen did not explain, but nodded with satisfaction.

From his point of view, Mejiro Mitsuaki's plan was probably the same as what Kitaguchi Genju wanted to say.

This horse girl definitely knows her own exit situation, and she also knows the running styles, techniques, and tactics used by her former rivals.

Therefore, she should know very well how to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.

Just like the opponent in front of her was not trying to compete with Qingyun Tiankong for the first place, she was now sticking to the inner lane, and if nothing unexpected happened, she was trying to save energy.

The inner lane definitely saves more energy, and no opponent in this race was chasing her like she was.

While conserving her energy, she observes her opponent's movements at the back, waiting for an opportunity to break through and overtake, and then crosses the finish line first with a last-minute advantage. This is definitely the running tactic that suits her best.

Thinking of this, An Jingzhen nodded slightly, then frowned slightly.

However, the subsequent schedule might not be as smooth as she imagined...

No, it should be said that when both parties know each other well, no one can get everything they want...

As Yasui was truly thinking this, the commentary calmed down a little from its initial excitement.

“After a short prologue straight, the team came to the first turn.

"Confirm the team's position.

"The current leader is Qingyun Tiankong, who maintains a 2-length advantage and is the first to enter the turn.

"Following closely is Tokai Shuu, who is a little further out, and the third is Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi, who is a little further in.

“The fourth, fifth and sixth places were Phalaenopsis, Erimo Gaoqiang and Aerial Jihad respectively.

“The Chahang Group is also quite large.

“Leading this part of the team are Shenying and Caoshangfei.

"After them two are Mejiro Dobo and Taikan Fukurai.

"Mejiro Mitsuaki is still at the bottom.

"The speed was very fast. The runners passed most of the bend at high speed and gradually approached the straight line on the opposite side."
