Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 240 Nervous
Previously, when he watched the press conference on TV with Kita no Xuanju and heard Huang Jinchuan mention the "retirement battle", Yasui Zhen was also very surprised.

Although the report shows that this horse girl's mental strength has declined slightly, her physical condition is quite healthy, and this has also been analyzed with Northern Xuanju.

It felt too sudden that he announced his retirement right after Arima Kinen.

Especially since he had known the other party for almost a year and had received a lot of help from the other party during this period, Yasui Zhen had to be honest and felt mixed emotions.

At the same time, I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of the Arima Memorial.

If horse racing women are asked to choose a race as their retirement fight, the answer will almost invariably be the Arima Kinen.

This tradition-like idea has no specific origin.

The more mainstream view is that after Oguruma achieved a legendary end of beauty at the Arima Kinen, completing her retirement with a victory in the last G1 at the end of the year, more and more horse racing girls have had similar ideas.

The Emperor of the East China Sea stepped onto the racing track after 364 days, putting an end to his bumpy but miraculous career, and ran another miracle. That race was also the Arima Memorial, which further strengthened the similar ideas of the horse racing ladies.

Not every horse girl can get what she wants. After all, in this grand and implicitly final competition, there can only be one champion.

But precisely because of this, achieving the beauty of an end at the Arima Kinen is even more rare and more sought after.

Yasui Zhen knew that Northern Xuanju later went to look for the golden ship.

He never asked what the two of them had said, or what agreement they had made, and Northern Xuanju didn't say anything on his own initiative.

However, he was all melancholy, uneasy, and nervous because this familiar horse girl was about to leave the Shining series.

Beibu Xuanju, who has always been enthusiastic, cheerful and values ​​friendship, must have felt even more complicated.

It’s just that after a year of competition, I, the horse racing girl, have become more mature and steady.

Although she would eventually come to me to talk about many things, before that, she would think and do a lot on her own, and only come to me when she was completely out of ideas.

Since she hasn't mentioned it yet, maybe it means that she can bear the complicated feelings and even transform them into some strength for this game.

He hadn't known when he had walked along the corridor outside the preparation room to the outermost edge of the stadium, and Yasui Zhen silently gazed at the seemingly endless grassland.

Although it is winter, the stadium has been specially maintained and the grass is still lush and green.

The warm winter sun in the afternoon shines on the runway, emitting a faint golden glow, as if covering the track with a sacred coat.

However, this beautiful scene did not relieve his inner tension and anxiety. His hands clenched unconsciously, and his nails dug into his palms, leaving shallow marks.

The image of Beifang Xuanju on the training ground kept appearing in his mind. Her determined eyes, her strenuous running posture, her sweat, every picture was extremely clear.

That's right, this is the retirement battle of the predecessor Golden Ship.

All of his opponents had fought hard until now, and he had seen firsthand how much they had sacrificed.

But his black-haired girl never slacked off in her high-intensity training day after day, analyzing her opponents in detail time and time again, and growing both physically and mentally.

So, she shouldn't have any problems...

As soon as this determination emerged in my heart, the video recordings of the games I had watched emerged uncontrollably in my mind.

One horse girl was overtaken by her opponent in the final sprint and unfortunately missed the championship.

Some of them lost power and speed before even entering the straight line, and had to watch their opponents overtake them one by one.

Others made major mistakes at the start and were eliminated from the competition early on.

He was usually calm, but now he was losing control. The images, one after another, were like sharp blades, piercing An Jingzhen's heart, making his already nervous and uneasy heart even more uneasy. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but the obvious rapidity of his breath made him instantly aware of the panic in his heart.

"So, she must be..."

Just as I was about to whisper something to cheer myself up, a voice that was both majestic and playful came from not far away.

"If you're this nervous, you'll pass your anxiety on to Xiaobei."

I looked up subconsciously and saw a petite but imposing horse racing girl.

"Emperor...President?"

An Jingzhen couldn't help but be stunned. The person waving and smiling at him from a distance was none other than the Emperor of the East China Sea. Then he took a look behind the student council president and was stunned again.

"And... President Great Shock? President Master?"

Standing a little further behind the Emperor of the East China Sea were the two vice presidents of the student union, and on the other side of them was a horse girl.

She has reddish-brown semi-long hair and cherry-red eyes that are as bright and dazzling as gems.

There is a small heart-shaped cushion-like decoration on the left ear, which is playful, cute and unique.

From the half-smile on this horse racing girl's face to her slightly casual yet inexplicably harmonious standing posture, she exudes a unique temperament that is a mixture of confidence and laziness, as if everything in the world is under her control and there is nothing to fear.

"Lady...?"

Yasui Zhen was completely stunned, his mind full of questions.

If the three presidents of the student union showed up together, it would be understandable that they were here to inspect the conditions of the stadium, after all, the importance of the Arima Memorial is there.

But what about the lady...?

Before An Jingzhen could figure it out, the Emperor of the East China Sea looked at him with concern, then turned his head and said:

"You guys go to the stands first and help grab a free spot at the front, preferably close to the finish line. Please."

Very silent, Da Zhenhan glanced at An Jingzhen, nodded without saying a word, and walked silently towards the stands.

As if waiting for someone, the Golden Master folded his arms, tilted his head, and his tail swayed behind him, while his ears were tilted towards the horse girl named Lady.

After looking up and down at An Jingzhen with great interest for a moment, the lady smiled slightly and waved over here, which should be considered a greeting. Then she glanced at the Golden Master and walked towards the direction of the big shock.

At this time, the Golden Master followed suit, but subtly, she kept a constant distance from the lady.

"They... let's not talk about them for now, let's talk about you first."

Just as Yasui Shin was looking at the three horse girls walking away in confusion, the Emperor of the East China Sea walked over with a smile, holding the back of his head in a very unbecoming manner of a president.

"What's wrong? You've been through so many competitions before, and the Arima Memorial is coming up soon... Are you nervous?"

"Well...but President Emperor, why are you..."

Just as I was about to ask how he knew that, An Jingzhen paused, smiled and shook his head.

He could sense how nervous he was, and such obvious emotions were naturally not difficult for the East Sea Emperor, who had seen countless trainers, to see at a glance.
