Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 201: Explosive Soul
This was not the first time that An Jing came to the university department of Tresen Academy. Northern Xuanju had also been here many times because of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

However, this time, in order to meet Prince Sakura Jin, Northern Xuanju still looked around curiously along the way.

Unlike the academy that is full of laughter and joy, it is much quieter here.

The seniors who were obviously much more mature than the current Uma Musume were walking in groups of three or four along the tree-lined paths or avenues, seemingly discussing something very important in low voices.

Watching along the way, the two soon arrived at the training area where the short-distance race department was located, which was also the place they had booked before.

From a distance, Northern Xuanju saw a horse girl with long cherry-colored hair.

The horse racing girl had a very straight posture, with her long hair tied into a high ponytail. She looked energetic and neat.

She put one hand on her waist and held a loud speaker in the other, shouting at the figures on the runway:

“Too slow, too slow!
"Everyone, hurry up! How can you be a role model for the younger generation like this?!

"Explode, explode, explode!"

"Uh... that..."

With an awkward smile on his face, Beibu Xuanju pointed over there, "That's Senior Jin Wang..."

Before he could finish his words, the cherry-haired horse girl suddenly looked over, not knowing how she noticed.

In an instant, like fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky, her cherry-pink eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed over.

After a few seconds, An Jingzhen and Kitagawa Xuanju closed their eyes and raised their arms to block the strong wind.

At the same time, Sakura Shinou's cry of surprise began to echo.

"Xiaobei! Xiaobei! You actually came to me on your own initiative!

"Have you changed your mind?

"Hahaha, I knew your explosive spirit would awaken!"

Surprised, she stuffed the horn into her waist, clasped her hands together, trembled slightly, and looked at Beifang Xuanju with anticipation in her eyes.

"Xiaobei, you...should be planning on joining a short-distance race?!"

Putting down his arms and smiling awkwardly, Beibu Xuanju took a step back, stole a glance at An Jingzhen, and suddenly took a deep breath.

Mustering her courage, she met Sakura Shinou's eyes and said seriously:
“Senior Jin Wang, I… thank you very much for your continued expectations of me.

“But deep down, I still long to shine like my idol emperor predecessors in the future Chrysanthemum Shooting and Arima Kinen events.

“This is my unwavering dream.”

This was the honest thought she had when she asked An Jingzhen on the way here.

After saying that, she bit her lip subconsciously, feeling a little uneasy.

After all, the senior had no ill intentions and was actually well-intentioned.

She had avoided him time and time again before, and this time he rejected her in person. She had no idea how Sakura Jinou would refute her.

I would be disappointed... maybe even angry if I were treated like this...

Just as he thought about this, Northern Xuanju unexpectedly discovered that the smile on Prince Sakura Jin's face had not faded.

Not only did it not fade away, it became even milder.

"That's it..."

Nodding, Sakura Jinwang walked over with an unchanged expression, patted Kitaguchi Xuanju's shoulder vigorously, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad! Xiaobei, I was right. You really are just like me. You really do have the Explosive Soul in your body!"

"……senior?"

After a long pause, Beibu Xuanju stammered doubtfully, "Aren't you angry? I just rejected you, Senior..."

"What's there to be angry about?"

Sakura Shinou asked back, also confused, and patted Kitaguchi Xuanju's shoulder with laughter again.

"The Explosive Spirit isn't limited to short distances!
“Chasing your dream and never giving up no matter what, this is the spirit of explosive advancement!” Middle and long distances also require extraordinary perseverance and strength, but I believe in you, Xiaobei!

“You can definitely achieve your dreams!”

A warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and Beibu Xuanju's eyes became slightly warm.

She couldn't explain why, but every time she saw Sakura Jinou, regardless of any awkwardness, she always felt a genuine intimacy in her heart.

It was like seeing my grandfather, my family, and my elementary school instructor, Kuroshio-senpai.

At this time, Yasui Zhen smiled and walked forward.

Just now, when the two horse girls were talking or "discussing" the Explosive Soul, he paid a little attention to the training ground.

With his knowledge of the archives, he quickly recognized that those were the short-distance strongmen who had left their names in racing history.

For example, Wildflowers of the West, Flying Horse of the Light, and Flying North.

There is also Qingzhu Huiyi, who is already working at the police station. Before becoming a patrol officer, this horse girl was also a strong short-distance athlete during her service and was known as the "first generation short-distance king."

So they're doing a rehearsal? The sprint events after that... the sprint championships are over, so they're just rehearsals?

After thinking quickly, Yasui didn't ponder deeply, but quickly looked at Sakura Shinou.

"Sakura Shinou, I'm An Jingzhen, who I've spoken to on the phone before. I'm also the trainer of Northern Xuanju.

"To put it simply, as I mentioned before, I wanted to exchange ideas and ask for advice on escape training, especially regarding strength.

"so……"

Before he could finish his words, Sakura Jin Wang suddenly waved his hand and laughed:

“Then it’s great that you came!

"Come on, Xiaobei, let's start now!
"Explode forward! Explode forward!"

Without saying anything, he pulled Kitaguchi Xuanju, and in the astonished eyes of her and Anjing Zhen, Sakura Jinwang raised his arm, shouted "Explode", and rushed towards the training ground.

After being led a few steps, Beibu Xuanju's stunned expression quickly changed.

As if she was infected, she suddenly laughed heartily, raised her arms high and shouted "Explode".

This... was truly an unexpected development.

Although surprised by Sakura Shinou's decisiveness, Yasui Makoto did not forget the purpose of his visit.

He then ran to the training ground and finally had time to nod to Qingzhu Huiyi, whom he had met once. He looked intently at the two horse girls who had already started warming up.

After a while, he felt a little shocked.

Another hour or two passed, and instead of the shock subsiding, it intensified.

Since becoming a trainer, he has witnessed quite a few races in person, not to mention the videos, many of which were very fast in the early stages.

I have come across many horse girls, such as Northern Black Horse, and Vodka and Golden Ship are also the types that excel in strength.

In terms of strength outside of the competition, Sakura Shinou may not be able to surpass them.

But in the competition, or just a simple side-by-side race, he felt for the first time the terrifying power from this horse racing girl.

It shouldn't be an illusion. The moment the other party started, the ground on my side seemed to shake.

The next moment, a large piece of the lawn that was originally stepped on was blown away, and a large amount of grass roots and dust flew up.

And what followed was the equally terrifying instantaneous speed.

As runaway horses, Northern Black Horse ran with Yamato Red Horse and Silent Suzuka.

Even though it was her first time doing parallel running practice, she was still able to snatch the lead position from these seniors once or twice.

But when running side by side with Sakura Jinwang, she had never managed to grab it... not even once.

So, compared to Uma Musume who also has explosive power, is there still room for improvement in Xiaobei's abilities?
In addition to being shocked, Yasui's eyes really lit up.
