Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 189: Familiar Escape

Yasui Zhen was just making a casual complaint, and the melancholy-looking Manchester City Tea House responded in a low voice:
"Mr. Yasui is right. She has always been like this, and she hasn't changed after retiring... No, it should be said that her condition has worsened after she retired."

Yasui was amused when he heard Manchester City Tea House describe his friend's madness as an illness.

But after thinking about it, Ali Suko's sudden startle just now was indeed quite scary, and it seemed that the dosage needed to be increased.

"But don't worry about her, she'll be back to normal soon..."

After taking a sip of coffee, Manchester City Tea House narrowed his golden eyes and scanned the track:

"It's a sudden change, the other opponents haven't reacted yet, so...

"The next match should be much smoother..."

An Jingzhen was slightly startled, and quickly collected his thoughts and focused his attention on the runway.

As Manchester City Tea House said, the Uma Musume team has "slowed down".

It's not that the speed is slow.

Like a gust of black wind, at the front of the race team, the Northern Black Horse was still galloping alone on the track.

The flying black short hair and long ponytail danced wildly in the wind, and were pulled into two black flags by the strong wind, releasing a fluttering whistling sound every time they fluttered.

Her figure is light yet agile, and with the rapid rhythm, you can faintly see the muscles all over her body rising and falling smoothly.

Each of her steps was firm and powerful, and her alternating forward steps formed two afterimages, giving her a vague feeling of being one with the runway.

She was passing through the straight line facing the audience seats at this moment. The sound of bangs hitting the ground echoed here and disappeared in an instant.

Then came the opponents who were chasing closely.

The "slow" one is the team composed of these fourteen opponents.

Even though it was a fleeting moment in front of the stands, one could still see the nearest few horse girls had serious and focused expressions, their foreheads covered with fine beads of sweat, and their eyes were full of unwillingness and persistence.

At the same time, one can sense a sense of indecision from them.

The 2200-meter straight line after the gate at the Zhongshan venue is not short. It is 400 meters away from the first corner, and even if you only count the cornering part, it is more than 300 meters.

At the current speed of the horse racing ladies, it is estimated that it will take 300 seconds to 18 seconds to complete more than 19 meters, or even faster, more than 19 seconds.

Seeing that the team had already run more than halfway before entering the bend, there was still no movement behind Northern Black Horse, which could only mean that the horse girls were still hesitating.

Then this is Northern Xuanju's opportunity.

"It has calmed down."

After quickly making a judgment, Yasui nodded with satisfaction, "If no one approaches after we enter the corner, Xiaobei's advantage will be solid."

On the side, Manchester City Tea House also nodded.

"A large escape... is really rare, so it's normal to be hesitant."

She whispered an opinion and looked at the back of Northern Black Horse gradually turning. She narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at the inclination of Northern Black Horse's posture, the length of his steps, the swing of his arms and the rhythm of his breathing for a while, as if she was thinking about something.

"I feel like the Northern Black Horse's escape method...seems familiar?"

"You think he looks familiar too..." Suddenly, Alice, who had been looking crazy, interrupted.

She now behaved normally as the Manchester City Tea House had said. Like her friend, she pinched her chin and squinted her eyes at Northern Xuanju.

"Hmm, I feel like I've seen it on someone before. Who was it?"

Manchester City Tea House frowned and muttered quickly:
"Senior Ennis Fengshen? No, she didn't start so strong...

“Miura Bourbon-senpai…my speed doesn’t seem as steady as hers.

"Eagle of Insight... that's not right, she's on the muddy front...

"so……"

"Don't think about it, I'll tell you the answer directly."

Airihaku quickly interrupted, “Silent Suzuka-senpai.

"I asked Yamato before. When the northern students were training together, Musashi Suzuka-senpai helped a lot, as did Miyu-senpai." "So it was Musashi Suzuka-senpai..."

A sudden realization flashed in his eyes, and then Manchester City Tea House quickly frowned again, "Yes, there are some similarities, but..."

“But it’s not exactly the same.”

Once again, Airihakuko interrupted, “Suzuka-senpai is a super-high-speed escape, and Northern Xuanju’s speed is nowhere near that level.

"She was able to lead by so much, not only because of her powerful exit, but also because her opponents were completely unprepared... Of course, I don't think anyone expected her to escape like this."

"If I had to say whose escape method is more similar, I think..."

After a pause, she did not keep the suspense. While madness appeared in her eyes again, she was more thoughtful.

“Sakura Shinou-senpai.

"picture.

“So similar.

"The speed hasn't reached its limit yet, but this amazing power...it's so much like Sakura Shinou-senpai!"

Her tone became excited again.

"Speed, endurance, strength... apart from other things, these are our most basic things. Our limit is to reach the maximum speed, endurance, and strength at the same time!
"I've long known that the Northern Black Horse's strength is exceptionally strong, and its endurance is also exceptionally strong. The only thing she lacks is speed, only speed...

"The only thing left is to try every possible way to increase the speed to the limit!

"I thought that young man couldn't do it, but I didn't expect...

"Kukuku, this is really... I didn't expect it at all! Kukuku!"

She suddenly raised her arms, and her long sleeves drew two arcs in the air as if in a play. She laughed strangely to herself, attracting the attention of those around her. Suddenly, the posture of Elissako with her arms outstretched froze.

After a while.

"...Ahem, it's so hot, Yasui-kun must be thirsty. I have some black tea here, would you like some?"

It was very similar. With a flip of her sleeves, a drink appeared in Airi Suzuko's hand.

Holding the drink with a smile, she looked at Yasui Zhen with a harmless expression.

...So there's some kind of amnesia-causing drug added to this black tea, right?
And that young boy just now was talking about me, right?

Do you think I will drink it?

Although his mind was already focused on the competition, Yasui Makoto couldn't ignore what Airi Hayako said, and now he glanced at the horse racing girl with a displeased look on his face.

But the young boy and the suspicious black tea were not what he really cared about.

What he really cared about was the analysis that Elissa had just made.

Northern Black Horse's speed is indeed not its strong point, even after its debut and participation in many official competitions.

Strengths can be compared vertically with predecessors, but for the Shining Series, horizontal comparison is more important.

In the same class, many horse racing girls can run faster than the Northern Black Horse, and there are even more who are faster in the Ancient Horse Year.

But the strength and endurance levels of the Northern Black Horse are just the opposite.

Whether compared with her peers or seniors, her strength and endurance can definitely be said to be at the top level.

When he first started guiding Northern Xuanju, Yasui Shin had already made clear his current thinking.

Try every possible way to make Northern Xuanju's strengths even greater and make up for the so-called "slow speed" shortcoming as much as possible.

Training day after day, competition after competition, this idea has indeed not yet achieved the most perfect result.

But even if it is not perfect yet, at this moment Northern Black Horse has reached the limit among all the horse girls in this competition.

This may be the reason why Elise was crazy before and now.
