Having trained real horses, why are we now training racehorse girls after time-traveling?

At this moment, the Gold Master was probably thinking that once that horse racing girl named Dragon King debuted, he would bully her properly and teach her a lesson about who was the boss.

Just when the training here was at a standstill, the voice of the East Sea Emperor, who was running from afar, suddenly broke the tranquility of the place.

"Trainer Ikezoe! Master! Maki-kun!"

"Oh my? Isn't this the Emperor of the East Sea? What's wrong? Are you bored at Senior Jinlang's place?" Chi Tian was also surprised that the Emperor of the East Sea would take the initiative to come to him. After all, this kid didn't really like doing errands, and Jinlang usually let the Golden Ship do this kind of work, so that this unsinkable ship that hadn't set sail yet could move around a bit more.

"No, no, I'm just here all by myself, dragging Nata, McQueen, and the Golden Ship to the Mejiro family's place. I'm so bored!"

The East Sea Emperor immediately steadied herself, now appearing somewhat arrogant, her fighting spirit undisguised. Then, she crossed her arms over her small chest and proudly declared:

"I'm here to take on the challenge! Trainer Ikezoe! I want to challenge Master Gold!"

"...Huh?" Meanwhile, the Gold Master, who had originally planned to slack off, turned his head away in surprise and raised his eyebrows slightly.

What does this have to do with her? Why are you suddenly challenging her? Is this kid asking for trouble?

However, before the Golden Master could figure this out, his restless heart, which was bored with the training, was replaced by the desire to compete. At this moment, the competitive spirit in the Golden Master's heart, which had been dormant for a long time due to the boring training, was ignited like boiling oil under the words of the East Sea Emperor.

This time, the Gold Master was really bored out of his mind and decided to take this opportunity to vent his emotions.

Chapter 194: The Gold Master: Have I finally met my match?

"Uh? Miss Empress, although you brought up the idea of ​​friendly training, I think Senior Jinlang would be very happy, but why do you want to challenge Orphie to a match?"

Chi Tian had obviously noticed the Golden Master, who was bored and eager to run a race and crush some weaker opponents, and immediately stopped the horse girl who had no qualms about crushing the weaker ones. He couldn't help but ask the East Sea Emperor.

After all, if the East Sea Emperor really wants to compete, shouldn't McQueen and Golden Ship be the most suitable choices for her team right now? Although McQueen just finished the Chrysanthemum Festival and isn't really suited for continuing high-intensity races, shouldn't Golden Ship be a good enough option?

It's important to understand that while Golden Masters' current strength may not be comparable to that of Ryutō and Koukaku in the Wada team, as the team's main force alongside Mejiro McQueen, their strength is absolutely at the level to sweep GIII, making them a contender for the Classic Triple Crown next year.

As for the East Sea Emperor... Ikezo doesn't want to be so rude, but while the East Sea Emperor's strength might be considered top-notch among the new horse girls at Treson Academy, within the "Miracle" team, the East Sea Emperor is really at the elementary school level and still needs to study hard for a year or two.

"Golden Boat Lady doesn't even try to run with me at full speed! Honestly, she's the same age as me, so why does she always treat me like a child? Is it just because she's tall?"

Speaking of this, the East Sea Emperor pouted and said with great dissatisfaction, "They actually treat me like a child. When Golden Ship-san runs, he never puts in any effort. I never feel a sense of accomplishment when I win!"

"And there's Good Opera and Nutao... Waaaaah... I know I'm not their match yet, and besides, the Chrysanthemum Award and the Autumn Emperor's Award just ended, so it's not good to compete with them. It would be bad if I got too tired."

"So, the only one in the team who can compete with me is Trainer Ikezoe's Golden Master! I want to prove my strength! I want to defeat Golden Master and then find a suitable opportunity to compete with Good Opera. I want to prove to the president that I can definitely compete with Good Opera in the Arima Kinen in the future!"

"...So, the president sent you to find Orphie for a run?"

Having said that, Ikezoe suddenly realized that he was a senior who had been around for so long, and his mental age was no less than that of Wada. Although he might be a little less emotionally intelligent, his intelligence was not a problem at all.

He knew very well why Lu Duo had sent the East Sea Emperor to him for the race – it was so that Chi Tian could help put the East Sea Emperor in a bad light. The Emperor's pride had prevented her from realizing her own level within the team. As a genius racehorse girl who had grown up under pampering and attention, she truly hadn't yet seen her own strength within the team.

Therefore, after hearing the words of the Emperor of the East Sea, Lu Duo did not immediately send her to challenge the Good Opera and the Raging Waves, not only because they were both exhausted, but also because the two racehorse girls, already fully formed, could still make her doubt her life even if she dragged her tired body to race against the Emperor of the East Sea.

Instead of that, it would be better to let the energetic Golden Master do it. She is stronger than the East Sea Emperor and has enough pressure. Most importantly, although the Golden Master is strong, she is not strong enough to directly beat the East Sea Emperor into losing confidence. She is enough to teach her a lesson.

Thinking this, Chi Tian nodded silently, and then, under the eager gaze of the East Sea Emperor, he smiled slightly and said:

"—No problem, then let's start the competition after warming up. Your Majesty, how about you choose a distance?"

"Grass! Turn right at 2400 meters!" Donghai Emperor had clearly prepared the most suitable racing environment for herself. As a racehorse girl who is good at middle distances, 2400 meters, the longest middle distance, can perfectly bring out her strength.

However, the Emperor of the East Sea seems to have overlooked one point: the Golden Master is also a racehorse girl with strong adaptability for medium and long distances.

The Gold Master silently stood up, stretched his joints, and walked towards the arena with an excited expression on his face.

"—Orphie, give it your all, but don't overdo it." At this moment, Chi Tian pretended not to see the Golden Master's excited expression, but kindly reminded him.

"I can't guarantee that, but if I can realize it." Upon hearing this, the Golden Master toned down her tone slightly, but didn't offer any guarantees. After all, she knew that once she was on the field, she didn't really know what she was doing.

The Golden Master walked towards the track, and at that moment, Zhen Jiling slowly caught up with Chi Tian's steps, asking with slight unease:

"Onii-chan, is this really a good idea? If Master goes all out... Emperor might have a breakdown, right?"

"...Kallen-chan, we understand the president's good intentions. No one wants this proud young lady to ruin her career on the field because of her pride. Therefore, we would rather she suffer more during training."

Chi Tian was naturally reluctant to do so, but considering that this was all for the purpose of training the Emperor of the East Sea, he had to harden his heart and play the bad guy once, so that this "genius" could quickly transform into that "unyielding emperor".

This, of course, requires a process, a long and continuous process of refinement...

……

"Well then, the match is about to begin, Your Majesty, Orpheus, are you ready?"

"Ready!" the East Sea Emperor replied energetically. On the other side, Orpheus did not reply, but simply nodded silently to indicate that he was fully ready.

Just as Chi Tian nodded, preparing to start the match, a voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Oh my? Isn't this Emperor classmate?"

"Huh? Where? Where is the Emperor, Necha?"

"That voice—is it from an outstanding student?"

The Emperor of the East Sea was also very familiar with this voice. Looking up, he saw that two racehorse girls were approaching quickly from the stands and soon came to the Emperor and the Golden Master's group.

"It really is the Emperor, and the Golden Master classmate too." The racehorse girl, whom the Emperor called "of excellent quality," said with a smile, then looked at the two of them before asking:

"Um... are you planning to conduct friendship training?"

"No, it's a competition, a competition!" Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the East Sea immediately shook his head and corrected him, "I want to compete against the Golden Master and defeat her head-on!"

"Sigh... No wonder he's called Emperor, he actually dared to challenge the 'Golden Tyrant'."

"Hey! Don't ignore me like that!"

Beside the excellent quality, a short racehorse girl with blue hair in twin tails grumbled in dissatisfaction. This was a racehorse girl whom Ikezoe, Tokai Teio, and others had all seen before. She had been stuck at the back of the pack during a friendly race as a runaway horse and had never had a chance to shine, but she had persevered to the end. She was called "Twin Turbo".

"Yoshi, I've made up my mind, Emperor of the East Sea! Necha and I will challenge you here! Let's have a match!"

"Huh? You guys are coming too? Excellent skills, and... double jets?"

"It's a twin-turbo!"

The East Sea Emperor had clearly forgotten the name of Twin Turbine before, yet Twin Turbine remained as irritable as ever, grabbing Excellent Quality's hand and saying:

"Necha! Come and challenge the Emperor of the East Sea with me! It's a competition whether there are one or four of us, so let's all come together!"

"Um... Is it... okay? Trainer Chi Tian?" The excellent quality looked at Chi Tian with some difficulty. Although she seemed hesitant, the intention in her eyes made Chi Tian understand her thoughts.

This is what "excellent quality" looks like... And upon seeing a racehorse girl he was quite familiar with, Ikezoe nodded silently and said with a smile:

"It's alright, this won't affect Orphie at all. If you want to play, please enter the gate."

"Great! Let's all go together!"

"In that case..."

With the approval of Ikezoe, Excellent Quality and Twin Turbo also entered the gate one after another. In an instant, the four female racehorses adjusted their state again and entered the race mode.

"Then... get ready."

"—Open the floodgates!"

With a loud "bang!", before the other three racehorse girls could even step out of the gate, a sudden and terrifying pressure caused their muscles to stiffen, and a sense of fear welled up inside them.

They all clearly looked towards the Gold Master on the side, and before they knew it, the Gold Master had already pulled down her mask, revealing her fierce and excited expression.

At this moment, the three fledgling racehorse girls finally understood just how vast the difference was between the "Golden Tyrant" experience on the racetrack and in the stands.

Chapter 195: Necha: Oh, the indomitable spirit of my mortal bones!

"Since you've come to challenge me, you must be prepared to be utterly annihilated by me, right?"

"Then let's have a good, decisive battle—let me show you the power of the Golden Master!"

Although Golden Master had only participated in one competition since the short-distance race with Makoto in Hakodate, and even during the long period leading up to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, her sense of dominance on the field had become increasingly strong since the day she awakened her potential and truly felt her improvement. Accompanying this was her increasingly intense desire for victory.

This is a side of the Gold Master that she rarely shows. Only during competitions does she shed her usual sensitive and irritable exterior, revealing the "beast" within her and becoming the fearsome "Golden Tyrant" on the field.

And that was exactly what happened. The Goldsmith had been excited for a long time and had nowhere to release her energy. Now, the three little ponies who had run into her became the targets of her venting her emotions.

Thus, this bizarre scene unfolded: when the gates opened, the Golden Master, a racehorse known for its late starts, was the first to burst through, while the East Sea Emperor, Excellent Quality, and Twin Turbo remained completely still.

"—Run!"

"Huh?!" Chi Tian's sharp shout brought the three stunned racehorse girls back to their senses. Almost instinctively, they started running again. Only then did they realize how bad their performance had been.

"Oh no—why did I suddenly get distracted? I need to catch up with Master Gold quickly!"

The East Sea Emperor was the first racehorse girl to break free from the aura of the Golden Master. However, she had only just started the race when she began to doubt herself for the first time. She had actually started too late!

As a racehorse girl who takes the lead in tactics, Donghai Diwang knows very well that if she wants to gain the upper hand, she must concentrate and achieve a near-perfect start to secure a favorable position and ensure her victory.

After all, the East Sea Emperor knew very well that she was a skill-based racehorse girl, not a physical one. Unlike the Golden Master, who could catch up even if she started late, it would be really difficult for her to win if she didn't gain an advantage from the beginning.

Now, the East Sea Emperor no longer has an advantage at the start. Because she started late, she has fallen quite a distance behind the Golden Master and can only try her best to catch up.

"Ugh—the trainer won't let me use my old running technique, but now..."

The East Sea Emperor watched as the distance between herself and the Golden Master narrowed, seemingly feeling that the progress was not enough. During this time, Jin Lang had corrected her running style a lot. Now that she was using a scientific running method, the East Sea Emperor, propelled by her already flexible ankles, was running several points faster than most racehorse girls, and the pressure on her ankles was also much less.

However, the East Sea Emperor seemed dissatisfied with the current progress. She felt that as long as she used her original running style, she could catch up with the Golden Master even faster, or even surpass him.

At this moment, however, the Emperor of the East Sea couldn't help but recall Jin Lang's admonition to her...

"Don't always think about relying on your talent, Your Majesty. Your basic skills are the key to your future victory. Never rely on your talent to run. If you do, one day your talent will lose its advantage, and you will fall far behind other racehorse girls."

"Ugh—there's no other way. In that case, I'll just have to find another opportunity and put all my strength into it during the final sprint."

In the end, the Emperor of the East Sea managed to calm his restless heart and chose to obediently follow behind the Golden Master for a distance, slowly closing the gap between them.

"Oh? You've got quite a knack for it."

The Golden Master had clearly noticed the East Sea Emperor behind her and was quite surprised that she still had the courage to pursue them—she thought she didn't need to go all out; just a little bit of her aura would be enough to scare the ponies.

However, it seems that the East Sea Emperor's talent is not just empty talk; his extraordinary talent is clearly visible to the naked eye... The Golden Master narrowed his eyes slightly, but his leg strength did not diminish at all as he pushed forward.

Then let me see at what height you will succumb to the pressure and collapse, Emperor of the East Sea.

……

"Wow, so strong—truly worthy of the title 'Golden Tyrant'! There's no way a mediocre racehorse girl like me can compare..."

Behind the Emperor of the East Sea, the outstanding individual, who had just joined the battle and was not even mentally prepared, almost couldn't withstand the intense pressure from the Golden Master. In the end, it was only after Chi Tian's stern shout that he immediately reacted.

Even so, despite her excellent qualities, she felt as if her steps were filled with lead, as if she were not running on flat ground, but running uphill with great difficulty.

However, it wasn't to the point of completely refusing to move forward. Even those with excellent qualities gritted their teeth and silently shouted in their hearts:
