Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 232 Northern Xuanju feels ashamed

When declaring his confidence, Beibu Xuanju was not without worries and pressure in his heart.

Perhaps my understanding of other predecessors in the Arima Kinen, especially my intuitive understanding of them, is something I have only gradually gained recently.

But she had long known just how powerful Senior Golden Ship was.

Indeed, even in her opinion, many of this senior's behaviors were strange.

But that kind of swift speed, powerful strength, excellent endurance... these are beyond doubt.

Moreover, because she herself had similar levels of strength and endurance, and she often asked the Golden Ship for advice, she was more familiar with the other party's situation.

To be honest, she had asked herself this question many times when facing such an opponent, and the answer was always that she was not sure of winning.

But in addition to these, she also has the desire to win the Arima Kinen and run a wonderful race.

Perhaps it was for pure reasons like Senior Oguruma's, or for reasons like Senior Wanlai Zhengming's desire to play her own music, but she had not yet found her answer.

But no matter her previous ignorant aspirations, or the accumulation from repeated training and competitions, or what she has experienced along the way, she firmly believes in one thing.

I want to do my best to respond with my feet to those who support, encourage and help me.

Then as long as there are people supporting me, I will keep running with all my strength.

As for winning the Arima Kinen in a classic year like her predecessor, Golden Ship, she was not just talking.

Because she had been preparing for this since the end of the Chrysanthemum Viewing... no, it should be even earlier.

And now, she is still making preparations to fight side by side with Yasui Zhen.

As long as we keep working hard like this, even opponents like Senior Golden Ship and other powerful seniors will be defeated...

It's not like I don't have a chance of winning!
Northern Xuanju firmly believed this.

……

More than a month later.

After a full day of training, Beibu Xuanju returned to the dormitory after dinner. He opened the door and a voice came from inside.

"Yeah, I'm going to win beautifully, just like in my debut match."

The voice was soft, filled with joy and pride, and it was none other than Satomi Mitsuzumi.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she caught a glimpse of Northern Xuanju from the corner of her eye. She glanced over quickly, then blinked and gently pointed at her phone.

He immediately understood what his friend meant and knew that he was having a video call with his family. Thinking of his own family, Beibu Xuanju couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal an understanding smile.

She changed her shoes at the door and put on cotton slippers. She tiptoed into the house and lay down on her bed quietly, trying not to make any noise.

Meanwhile, the call on the other side continued.

"The conditional race the day before the Arima Memorial, am I remembering correctly? Your mother even complained about me not being able to remember you before."

A middle-aged man's voice came over: "Don't be nervous on the field, just perform normally according to your usual training state, understand, light diamond?

"Don't fall behind in your studies, and don't be lazy in your training. Remember these things."

Before Satomi Mitsuzumi could say anything, a female voice with a hint of complaint came from the phone.

"The competition hasn't started yet, why are you saying this so early?"

Then it quickly softened:

"Training is important, competition is important, and so is studying, but you must make sure to rest and don't overwork yourself. Your health is the most important thing."

At this time, the male voice interrupted and said, "I was just about to say this..." The female voice ignored it and said, "You should get along well with your classmates in class, and if there is anything you don't understand or don't know, please ask your sister Crown for help."

"Don't worry, uncle and aunt. Guang Zuan is much better than me."

Satomi Crown's confident voice came over.

“Her test scores are not just the first page, and she trains very hard, almost catching up with me in terms of training volume.

"As for the competition, let alone the fact that he won his debut match more beautifully than me, the next one will definitely be easy for him.

"Of course, I will do my best to help her. Don't worry, uncle and aunt."

"Sister, it's not as exaggerated as you say..." With a little embarrassment, Satomi Mitsuzu's voice sounded again.

Listening to the heartwarming conversation coming from next door, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, Beibu Xuanju's mouth corners curled higher and higher, and he felt a sense of security in his heart.

After more than a month of preparation, the Arima Memorial Day is getting closer.

She believed she had been very focused during the various training sessions and discussions with Yasui Shin, but some things still distracted her uncontrollably.

For example, the defeat of Emperor Satomi’s autumn viewing.

The champion of that G1 race happened to be her next opponent in the Arima Kinen, Senior Langni Qingtian.

By this calculation, this senior has achieved four consecutive championships in just half a year.

After witnessing the entire competition that day and realizing Lang Ri Qingtian's condition, she was instantly shocked.

On the one hand, she knew how much Satomi Crown had contributed to the Emperor's autumn viewing, and felt sad and worried about her good friend's failure.

On the other hand, she and Satomi Hōran were from the same generation of horse racing girls. Apart from the outcome of the competition, the gap between them in physical development, competition experience, and even strength was not that big.

My friend could only achieve this kind of result at the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Festival. What would be the result when I face a senior who is also from the Koma Year at the Arima Kinen?
However, with such complicated feelings, she only had time to comfort Satomi Crown with other friends, and some subsequent competitions diverted her attention again.

First of all, there was the Japan Cup not long ago.

In this match, following the Takarazuka Kinen, the popular Golden Ship senior was defeated again, only getting 10 moves.

Senior Langni Qingtian, who was in the midst of four consecutive championships, also participated in the Japan Cup, but she did not win the championship either, only getting 4 moves.

The winner of the Japan Cup was another equally talented senior, Shonan Magic Bottle.

Because Senior Huang Jinchuan came to the scene to cheer her on, she also watched the entire game and once again felt the complexity of the Emperor's autumn appreciation.

Or a more complicated feeling.

She knew very well that in the upcoming Arima Kinen, she would be competing with her senior, the Golden Ship.

The failure of the Takarazuka Kinen might be easy to explain. It could be said that it was due to the Emperor not having recovered well after enjoying the spring, or it could be said that it was caused by his temperament, which is really difficult to control.

So before the Japan Cup, she always felt that if she had to pick out the strongest opponent, it would definitely be Senior Golden Ship.

But there is nearly half a year between the Takarazuka Kinen and the Japan Cup, so there is definitely no problem with recovery, and there will definitely be no problem with training.

There should be no problem with the temperament, because the senior's exit this time can be said to be quite smooth.

This made her very worried and confused at the same time, but she also felt a little relieved.

Senior Golden Ship...could it be that his strength has declined? If that's the case, then I...

As soon as she thought of this, she forcibly cut off the thought.

I didn't feel extremely grateful, but instead felt a little ashamed.
