Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 47 The Reason for Crying

An expression of disbelief instantly appeared on Beifang Xuanju's face.

She opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth, and tried to speak several times, but her throat seemed to be choked and she couldn't speak.

After a long while, she stammered, somewhat at a loss:
“Termination… dismissal… why?

“Classmate Ben Teng… your grades are pretty good.

"The trainer said she's won two championships and two runner-up titles so far...

“Ah, that should be three second places now, and two thirds.

"The top five will be listed on the bulletin board. With such a result...why was her trainer transferred?"

"Well..."

Vodka hesitated.

"Do you remember? At noon on the day of the competition, Senior Good Opera said during lunch that Pentium's trainer... was 'also' considered' her trainer."

She emphasized the word "also".

Beibu Xuanju noticed it immediately, but she didn't understand why the senior emphasized this point.

Vodka didn't keep any secrets either.

“You should be aware of the achievements of the good opera predecessors.

"With 14 career victories, including 7 G1s, he is one of the few 'seven-time champions' since the inception of the Shining Series.

"But before her debut, she was actually similar to you. No one was optimistic about her."

Northern Xuanju was shocked.

"No, no way? A senior like Good Opera... would actually encounter something like this?"

At this time, Yamato Akagi interrupted and said:

"This is not unimaginable, Xiaobei.

“Similarly, there’s also Oguruma-senpai.

"My main combat trainer was once one of Oguruma-senpai's trainers, and they knew each other at the local place.

"You should be aware of the level of my trainer. He is arguably one of the best trainers currently in service.

“However, even he didn’t see Oguruma-senpai’s talent at first, and never thought he could win the Central Grand Prize and G1, or even so many Grand Prizes and G1s.

"Especially after realizing Oguruma-senpai's amazing talent, even though he knew what kind of honor maintaining the contract would bring him, the trainer was still willing to take the initiative to terminate the contract and actively persuaded Oguruma-senpai to come to the central government.

"So it's not hard to imagine, nor is it rare, that talented horse girls don't get a chance to showcase their abilities. On the contrary, it's a very common occurrence."

In the past, Northern Xuanju had never heard of such a thing, especially the various secrets of the predecessors.

When she suddenly learned about it, she was shocked and didn't know what to say.

"It's pretty much what Yamato said."

Vodka continued:

“After being rejected by many trainers, the good opera veteran did not give up and looked for opportunities everywhere.

"At this time, she met the only person who was willing to support her."

Northern Xuanju was silent.

"Is it her trainer...?"

She didn't really want to say words like "also" or "once".

In her opinion, shouldn't the relationship between trainers and horse girls be like her and Yasui Makoto, trusting each other, working together, and going all the way to the end?
Vodka vaguely realized this, but did not emphasize it.

"Well, that's right.

“But she was still a student at the trainer academy at the time, assisting several senior trainers who had just passed the trainer exam.

“I don’t know exactly what happened between her and the good opera senior, and probably only the two of them know.

“Anyway, thanks to her efforts, one of her seniors was willing to sign a good opera senior to give it a try.

"You know what happened next. The good opera veteran went from being an unknown to a world-famous horse racing girl. The person who supported her also got a trainer's license."

Hearing this, Beibu Xuanju thought for a moment, nodded as if he understood, and then shook his head.

"I roughly understand, but..."

She hesitated. "If she had known a talented horse girl like the opera veteran before her debut, that trainer would have learned a lot. She would be very outstanding now.

"In that case, why was she fired..."

She couldn't speak anymore.

Because the three seniors in front of him all showed extremely strange expressions at the same time.

This expression seemed familiar, and she quickly remembered that at noon on the day of the competition, after she said something similar, An Jingzhen, Yamato Akagi, and Vodka had the same expression on their faces.

"Xiaobei, let me ask you a question... or just give you a guess."

Taking a deep breath, Vodka suddenly changed the subject.

"Over the years since that trainer got his license, among the racehorses he's coached, how many G1 wins have he achieved?"

Although he knew nothing about these things, Beibu Xuanju vaguely heard a pessimistic tone from his senior.

So she pursed her lips, hesitated, and raised her hand.

"Good Opera-senpai was able to win seven G7 races. Even if the horse girl he coached later wasn't as good, that trainer... could at least win five G1 races, right?"

After staring at her palm for a while, Vodka smiled strangely and shook his head.

"No. Guess again."

“Not even 5 games…?”

Northern Xuanju was stunned.

"So... 4 games? No, 3 games?"

She put down two fingers in succession, and was shocked to see that Vodka was still shaking his head.

"Could it be... only one match? That's too..."

Just as she was about to say it was an exaggeration, her expression froze.

Because vodka still shakes my head.

"The correct answer is...none."

Once again, Northern Xuanju fell silent.

She had not expected this answer at all, but she knew that Vodka would not lie to her.

Especially after hearing this answer, Yamato Akagi and Ennis Fengshen both looked emotional and generally kept silent, so there was no need to question it.

While she was shocked by this fact, she also understood why the trainer was fired by the Satomi family.

Although they didn't have deep conversations normally, she could feel from the few words exchanged between the Satomi sisters that the family had very strict requirements for them.

It is particularly coincidental that, just like the trainer's experience over the years, the Satomi family has been entering the Shining Series for many years, but has not even won a G1 championship. You can imagine the pressure on their friends.

This kind of pressure will not only affect the horse girls, but will naturally affect the trainers as well.

Since we can't win the game, let's find someone else to coach us.

This is probably the attitude of the Satomi family towards trainers.

The resources controlled by such a family can support this.

But even if he didn't win the game, the trainer should have done a lot for Satomi Pentium, just like Yasui Makoto did for himself.

Perhaps some of the previous victories were due to hard work.

Then Satomi Benten should be grateful to the trainer just like she is to Yasui Shin.

Now the trainer was expelled because of a failure. This must be why Pentium was so sad and crying...

Good Opera Senior, Crown Sauce, and Diamond Sauce were probably just trying to comfort her...

Thinking of this, Kita no Xuanju couldn't help but think of An Jingzhen, and then he vaguely understood something.

"...So, the trainer..."

Looking in the direction of An Jingzhen's rental house, the black-haired girl muttered to herself.

“I definitely know these things.

"When I asked him that day, he didn't tell me. I guess he didn't want to put any pressure on me, or make me worry about him..."
