Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 198 Good Guy Card

Yasui Makoto didn't ask what Kitaguchi Genju would say to Satomi Crown.

His past experiences had taught him that as a trainer, he could use his rich experience to analyze the ins and outs of things and give some suggestions that he thought were more appropriate, but he could not make choices for Northern Black Horse.

In his opinion today, this is a necessary stage in the growth of every horse girl, and in a sense, it is no less important than training and competition.

Only through personal experience and independent choice at this important stage can one achieve true transformation and face all future challenges with a stronger mindset.

In fact, Northern Black Horse's enthusiastic and cheerful personality can actually handle these things very well.

In addition to her previous experience with Ribbon Triumph, Yasui really expected that after learning about the inside story of the Satomi family and having her initial thoughts, she would have her own ideas and would find a way to deal with it properly.

It would be a bit superfluous to intervene at this time.

After all, this is about coaching a horse girl, not raising a daughter. Yasui Zhen thought so.

Sure enough, when we returned to the playground in the afternoon, Northern Black Horse came over with a light gait, humming an unknown cheerful tune, and looked full of energy.

"Trainer! Let's start afternoon training! What are we going to practice next?"

Her eyes sparkled, she clenched her fists with interest, and asked with full energy.

Yasui Zhen was not in a hurry to explain the afternoon training arrangements to Kita no Xuanju. Looking at the girl's excited expression, he suddenly felt curious.

"So... you've taken care of Satomi Crown? Is she okay now?"

"Of course not..."

Just as he uttered half of the sentence with a smile, Beibu Xuanju's expression suddenly froze, and his body became stiff and stretched straight.

After waiting for a long time without any follow-up, An Jingzhen couldn't help but ask with confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong again?"

“…Not really, it’s just…”

Beibu Xuanju bit his lip, looking a little embarrassed.
"Trainer, why...why are you suddenly so concerned about Crown-chan...?"

He almost blurted out, "That's because I care about you because you were so worried before." But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, An Jingzhen felt that this seemed a bit ambiguous and quickly stopped talking.

At the same time, he inexplicably felt something strange.

At this time, Northern Black Horse exuded a strange aura all over his body. The feeling was hard to describe. It was clearly something he had never experienced from a girl before.

Angry... doesn't seem to be the case, and the ears are not folded back.

Sad... It's even less like that, the ears aren't drooping.

The tail is wagging quite fast...but what does it mean?
A lot of the time, Uma Musume's emotions are pretty easy to guess, especially with her long ears and tail.

When she's in a good mood, her ears will stand up, and when she's excited, they'll tremble slightly, and the same is true for her tail.

When sad, the ears will droop forward and the tail will droop weakly. For some extremely emotionally sensitive dogs, the ear fur and tail color will be darker.

If you are angry, your ears will fold backwards. The more they fold, the more angry you are. This is commonly known as "airplane ears".

The tail will be stretched straight and then swung hard, and it will be swung towards the person who angered it.

But at this moment, the ears and tail of the Northern Black Horse did not show any of these, and An Jingzhen suddenly became puzzled.

Just when he was full of doubts, Northern Xuanju suddenly became flustered. Her eyes flickered and she spoke very quickly:

"Well...it's okay to care, it's okay to care. The trainer is a kind person, so it's normal for him to care about others..."

Why did he suddenly start giving out nice guys? An Jingzhen was getting more and more puzzled. Before he could ask, Northern Xuanju quickly interrupted and said:

"Anyway, anyway...

"At noon, I had a video call with Crown Sauce and told her all my thoughts.

"She smiled and said, 'That's just your personality, Xiaobei.

“But she also said that there are some things you don’t quite understand, but she really appreciates your concern.

“I feel like she still cares a lot about the family’s decision, but she’s also training really hard.

"When I saw her, she had just finished training, and behind her I could see Ben Teng also training."

At this point, Beibu Xuanju's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and he continued with vigor:
"I just spoke to Ribbon-chan and Xunyu-chan on the phone yesterday, and they are also making full preparations for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation.

"We really can't waste any time, trainer, let's start training!"

From the moment he heard that Yasui Makoto was "concerned" about Satomi Hiroyuki, Kitahara Xuanju felt an inexplicable sourness rising in his heart.

But she couldn't explain the reason for this sour feeling.

But after talking for a while, she suddenly remembered that her trainer was a good person, and she was the one who was worried about Satomi Crown in the beginning.

The trainer asked that question because he must care about me.

Thinking of this, she became excited again, and the strange sour feeling disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After staring at the fighting-minded Northern Xuanju for a while, a "weird" thought popped up in his mind. An Jingzhen couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

Although he still hadn't figured out what emotion he had just felt, his own horse girl was so eager to start training, so as a trainer, he definitely couldn't fall behind.

So he collected his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and pointed to the playground:
"Then I won't waste any more time. Let's go warm up first. After that, let's review the running method of the St. Reiter Memorial."

"Hey! I'm going then!"

He stood at attention, saluted in an exaggerated manner, and then, with a roar, Northern Black Horse rushed towards the runway.

He smiled unconsciously, picked up the tablet, paid attention to the warm-up situation, and fell into deep thought.

The decision to use the St. Martyr Memorial as a warm-up for the chrysanthemum viewing was very effective.

Judging from her performance in the competition, Northern Black Horse cannot use the great escape as her main running method. Her talent in this area is indeed a bit lacking.

Compared with the long escape, slow escape, regular lead release and front lead are more appropriate.

But this does not mean that the techniques of the Great Escape cannot be used.

Taking slow escape as an example, the distance that can be opened by leading is very small, and the key is to find the opportunity to accelerate in the middle.

At this time, most horse girls who want to keep up with Northern Black Horse will inevitably consume more physical strength, and the final sprint will not be as fast, and the advantages of the last-leg players will be relatively weakened.

If you don't keep up, that's a common winning strategy for the runner, using the distance advantage to make up for the lack of speed and resist the impact from behind in the final stage.

At this time, if you use the skills of the escape, especially the St. Reiter Memorial and the burst in the early stages, you will be more likely to widen the physical gap in the middle stage and resist the pursuit in the final stage.

The next thing to do is to strengthen this tactic to the point where it can be used freely during the chrysanthemum viewing.
