Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 185: At Worst, We Can Block the Door
Yasui wasn't sure whether Teji Zhou had ever said the words "convey your feelings", and he wasn't even sure if he had ever heard of this sentence himself.

But on the one hand, this statement should be consistent with the understanding of the horse racing girls. At least after almost a year of contact in the academy, he thinks so.

On the other hand, Northern Black Horse is not a person who is annoying or would deliberately cause trouble.

On the contrary, this cheerful and helpful girl is widely praised wherever she goes, and no one has ever heard of her having a conflict with anyone.

This shows that even if she has no experience in dealing with conflicts, she at least has the corresponding personality and even ability.

Maybe after she calms down today, she will understand how to deal with it.

So rather than giving advice just now, An Jingzhen actually wanted to help Kita no Xuanju calm down.

"Understand... my feelings?"

After a moment of hesitation, he repeated what Yasui Zhen said to himself, and then Kitahara Xuanju clenched his hands hanging by his side, "I...yes, I actually wanted to tell Ribbon-san that I really didn't mean it...

"But……"

She hesitated again. "Will she... listen? She's ignoring me now, and if we wait until St. Martyr's Day... won't it be too late?"

Seeing that Northern Xuanju became more hesitant than before, An Jingzhen was not anxious, but felt more confident.

Hesitation at least means that you are thinking about it, instead of being obsessed with it like you did at the beginning.

"Whether they listen or not is their business, and whether you speak or not is your business."

Feeling that the suggested idea was effective, Yasui Zhen struck while the iron was hot and said: "It's like in a game, you can't decide how your opponent thinks and how he runs, but you can decide how you think and how you run.

“Just do what you have to do first.

“It’s true that the St. Martyr’s Day commemoration won’t be held for two weeks, but don’t forget, that’s your chance to absolutely meet Ribbon Triumph face to face. You can’t run away, and neither can she.

"Of course, if you really feel it's too late, you can do something else."

"Can I do something else...?"

Northern Black Horse was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, "Trainer, what else do you have in mind?"

"I can't really tell you what to do, actually..."

Smiling, An Jingzhen looked at the playground.

He didn't know what happened between Northern Black Horse and Ribbon Triumph before, so he didn't pay too much attention to the other horse girls on the field. Now, after looking carefully, he found that Ribbon Triumph did not come to training.

He probably went to other places to train while avoiding the Northern Black Horse.

After making a judgment, he looked towards the dormitory again.

"Even if she doesn't want to see you now, she won't skip classes or sleep.

"She has to go back to the dormitory at night, right?

"You two are both in the Lidong dormitory building, so the worst that can happen is you can just block the door.

"Besides, you're so strong, if she doesn't open the door, just force it open."

Beibu Xuanju was stunned for a moment, then felt angry and amused.

"What are you talking about, Trainer? Blocking the door, banging on the door...won't that make Ribbon-san even angrier?"

"So it was just a joke."

Looking back, seeing that Beibu Xuanju's slightly annoyed face was no longer so worried, An Jingzhen felt more at ease and said with a smile: "The proper way is, if you can't wait, go to their dormitory tonight and apologize.

"Of course, they may not open the door for you.

“Don’t forget at this time that the Ritsuto dormitory manager is your Yamato Akagi-senpai.

"You are so familiar with Yamato-senpai, she will help you with this matter. Besides, it is the administrator's responsibility to mediate conflicts between students..." Before he could finish the word "responsibility", he saw Beibu Xuanju's eyes suddenly light up.

The next second, a black shadow suddenly disappeared from sight, leaving behind only a rapidly fading cry of joy.

"I know what to do now! Thank you! Trainer, you're the best!"

It was not until the last syllable of the sound disappeared at the end of the playground that Yasui Makoto came back to his senses.

He subconsciously looked around and found that the horse girls and trainers who were closer were looking at him in surprise. He couldn't help but blush.

What's the best...it's misleading, right?
Mumbling silently, he rubbed his face, then smiled and continued to organize various training equipment.

Today's training mission is not completed... I'll let her make up for it tomorrow. He thought so.

……

Yasui Makoto didn't ask what Kitaguchi Xuanju understood or what he did after leaving the playground.

The person who tied the bell must untie it, especially in daily conflicts. He can comfort and give advice, but he can't help Northern Xuanju solve everything.

However, judging from his performance from the second day until the competition day, Northern Xuanju seemed to have handled the situation very well. At least he regained his previous energy during training and was no longer dazed and distracted.

After realizing this, Yasui Shin still did not ask about the follow-up of the conflict.

On the one hand, he still believed that the one who could truly solve this problem was Beifang Xuanju himself. On the other hand, he vaguely felt that Beifang Xuanju was somewhat unnatural when mentioning Ribbon Triumph.

It seems that the problem was solved that day, but not completely.

As explained.

So, after all, the issue still had to be resolved through competition? That really suited their personalities, so... let's just compete. Yasui thought so.

December 9, Zhongshan race venue, Northern Xuanju’s preparation room.

"...Then the first choice is definitely to escape, and the second is to lead the front."

As usual, Yasui Makoto gestured on the whiteboard and said:

"The big escape is a running style that you have never used before. Even if the opponent does some research before the game, they generally don't think we will take such a risk to use a new running style.

"Most of your opponents have previously run at the main distance, so a non-main distance like 2200 meters will test your rhythm control.

"You've run two non-root distance races before, so your sense of rhythm is an advantage.

"Then it will be much easier to grab the lead position at the start, and the escape techniques will be more easily applied."

The main distance and non-main distance are a distinction of the race course. The total length that is a multiple of 400 meters is the main distance, otherwise it is the non-main distance.

Most of the important events in the Shining Series are the former, and the usual training distances are mainly multiples of 400 meters.

In comparison, the latter has certain differences in rhythm. Whether it can be controlled depends not only on daily training, but also on the horse girl's own sense of rhythm.

These northern Xuanju were all aware of this. After writing down Yasui Shin's instructions in a small notebook with a carrot-shaped ballpoint pen, she looked up and pointed to one side of the runway diagram.

"Then how we switch running styles... depends on the movements of these opponents?"

When she asked this, something strange flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, he glanced at the names and data beside the runway diagram, paused for a moment at the line "Ribbon Triumph", and nodded nonchalantly:
“Judging from the performance in previous races, there should be three more runners besides you.

“Four escapes from 15 gates is a lot and the competition for the lead is undoubtedly fierce.

"So even though the possibility doesn't seem very high to me, if someone notices you're planning to escape, the front collar is a backup plan."
