Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 214 I win——!!

The moment the commentator announced "Northern Black Horse", deafening cheers came like a surging tide, one wave after another, completely submerging the entire stadium.

Amidst the overwhelming roar, Northern Black Horse gasped for breath and held his knees.

Her mind was in chaos, and her consciousness was like a lost boat, floating with difficulty on the rough sea.

After a while, her breathing gradually stabilized, she stood up, and her consciousness gradually emerged from the chaotic abyss of exhaustion.

Her mind was still on the intense game that had almost exhausted all her energy.

Physical fatigue made her thinking slow, and everything in front of her seemed to be covered by a hazy veil, and she couldn't see clearly.

Just then, her eyes inadvertently swept to the other side of the track.

On the huge notice board, the name at the top - "Northern Black Horse" - stood out in the light.

Her eyes froze for a moment, and her scattered gaze suddenly focused.

She stared at the line of names as if she wanted to carve them into the depths of her soul.

"That's... my name?"

Her lips opened and closed slightly, her voice filled with disbelief.

In an instant, my heartbeat began to speed up, and my heavy body seemed to have some strength.

Staring at the notice board, she took a few steps forward uncontrollably.

He staggered back, then forward again.

My name still remains firmly in the first place, without any change.

In an instant, surprise was like a flood that broke through the dam, sweeping over my entire body and mind.

Her eyes widened, a bright light flashing in them, and two blushes appeared on her pale cheeks.

"I...did it?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and the volume was much louder than before.

Then, ecstasy ignited her like a raging fire.

She raised her head sharply, clenched her fists, and let out a cry of joy and pride:
“I won—!!”

This cheer gathered all her emotions, broke through the restraint of her throat, and echoed in the air above the stadium for a long time.

"Yeah, you win, Northern Classmate!"

There was excitement shining in the eyes of the Indomitable Real Steel as he spoke loudly and clapped enthusiastically.

As she walked towards Northern Xuanju, her eyes showed no trace of disappointment, but were filled with memories of this wonderful match and heartfelt congratulations:

"Although I lost to you again, but...

"Well, running is really refreshing."

"Makoto-san..."

When Northern Xuanju heard this, he quickly shook his head.

However, before she could finish her words, two joyful shouts came quickly:

"Congratulations, Xiaobei!"

"That's awesome! North!"

With excitement on their faces, Ribbon Kaige and Tianyi Xunyu rushed over.

The two of them were extremely fast, as if they had never experienced a competition before.

Before he could react, Northern Xuanju was suddenly hugged by them.

Caught off guard by the sudden hug, Beibu Xuanju's face flashed with surprise.

But she soon came to her senses and a warm smile appeared on her lips.

Seeing this, the smile on Indomitable Real Steel's face widened.

She took a few steps forward and hugged Northern Black Horse with a smile.

Seeing this scene, the other horse girls were shocked.

You should know that what I just finished was a 3000-meter chrysanthemum viewing race.

Northern Xuanju did look exhausted just now.

However, Ribbon Triumph and Indomitable True Steel were standing on the ground, while the excited Skywing Swift Feather was practically hanging on Northern Black Horse.

Even though there was still fatigue on his face, Northern Black Horse's legs stood firmly, as if the Sky Wing Swift Feather hanging on his body was completely weightless.

So this guy... is he really a horse girl like us?

This thought popped up in their minds at the same time, and they opened their eyes wide, their mouths slightly open, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

After a moment of astonishment, no one knew who started it, but then wholehearted applause broke out.

In an instant, applause rang out one after another, accompanied by congratulations, echoing throughout the entire stadium.

Standing not far away, Satomi Benten watched all this quietly.

A look of disappointment first flashed across her eyes, but soon a hint of determination flashed across them, and then admiration appeared.

Looking at Northern Black Horse who was surrounded by the crowd, she smiled and applauded.

Feeling the warm atmosphere and enthusiastic applause around him, Beibu Xuanju's excitement and joy grew stronger.

While thanking everyone around her, she couldn't help but look up and look towards the stands.

Grandpa... the elders... Crown-chan, Diamond-chan, and Sing-chan... everyone...

And the trainers...

Look, I did it...

……

Yasui Zhen felt that in the previous ten seconds, dozens of seconds or one or two minutes, his mood had been ups and downs like a roller coaster.

From the heart-wrenching tension during the race to the ecstasy when Northern Black Horse crossed the finish line, his heart was pounding, and finally there was a blank, and he had no idea what he was doing during this period.

It took him a while to notice that he had found himself hugging the old man Saburo Kitajima tightly.

The old man didn't seem to notice his own posture. He was watching the field with red eyes, wiping tears and grinning.

Realizing his own gaffe, Yasui Shin quickly let go of Kitajima Saburo and apologized:

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Kitajima, I... I was too excited just now and was rude."

As he spoke, he straightened his slightly messy clothes and tried to regain his usual calm demeanor.

Kitajima Saburo didn't care about any of this.

There was still a bright smile on his wrinkled face, and tears of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He grabbed Yasui Zhen's hand and shook it vigorously, his voice becoming somewhat incoherent due to excessive excitement:
"Mr. Yasui, what are you talking about! I should be the one apologizing... No, there's nothing to apologize for...

"Anyway, if it weren't for you, how could our Xiaobei achieve such great results!

"Please don't say that. I can't thank you enough!"

Yasui Zhen smiled, bowed, and shook his head slightly:

"Teacher Bei Dao, Xiao Bei's victory is mainly due to her own hard work and talent.

"You know, she has put in countless hard work since the training camp... no, since her debut, before her debut.

"All this way..."

Looking at the figure surrounded by a group of horse girls on the track, the scenes so far unconsciously emerged in his mind.

“She really worked so hard.”

Kitajima Saburo nodded repeatedly and said with emotion:
“Yeah, when this kid is at home, he’s still thinking about training.

"If you hadn't warned her not to over-train, she would probably still be running outside on weekends.

"This kid really gave his all for the competition."

His eyes became moist again.

"Yeah, I tried my best..."

Still looking at the stadium, muttering something, Yasui smiled unconsciously and joined the cheers echoing in the stadium.

At the same time, he thought silently in his heart:

So next... let her rest up and enjoy herself.

She deserves this ease and happiness.
