The persistence of excellent qualities did indeed have some effect. For a moment, the Golden Master felt as if a hole had been torn in his aura. A resistance from excellent qualities, though not obvious, was slightly revealed under the Golden Master's pressure.
This guy... surprisingly, he's quite talented.
Such feelings arose in the mind of the Golden Master, but she quickly suppressed them. The next moment, the Golden Master's legs suddenly exerted force, and she finally flew towards the finish line!
Having probably had enough fun, the Golden Master had completely given up on toying with her. She unleashed her full power and fled with all her might, instantly putting a considerable distance between herself and the Excellent Quality and the Emperor of the East Sea!
At this moment, no one could stop the Golden Master from moving forward, and the two racehorse girls behind her were already very brave just by not running away.
As for the final result of this match... does it matter? There's absolutely no suspense.
While the Golden Master ran to the finish line more than ten seconds later, Excellent Quality and the Emperor of the East Sea arrived late... no, at such a speed, it could only be said that they moved to the finish line, which was almost no different from walking.
The only difference was that when the Emperor of the East Sea reached the finish line, he collapsed to his knees in despair, while the one who followed closely behind, relying on his courage that hadn't been terrified, barely managed to support himself.
"Hahaha……"
"Why...why...I, I'm so far behind...am I really that far behind?"
"...You can't beat me like this, you can never beat an emperor."
At this moment, the Golden Master, who had vented her frustrations after the race, had unconsciously pulled her mask back up. Reason had returned to her mind, and she realized what she had excitedly done to the racehorse girls.
However, looking at the East Sea Emperor kneeling on the ground, for some reason, the Gold Master couldn't help but think of himself, the one who tried to unleash his potential in the pouring rain but made no progress, the one who cried pitifully in the rain, lamenting his own powerlessness.
However, upon thinking of these things, the Gold Master couldn't help but frown slightly. For the first time, the Gold Master, having regained his rationality, fearlessly chose to reprimand the Emperor of the East Sea.
"Accept reality, Your Majesty. You can't beat us, you can't beat me, you can't beat Raging Waves, let alone beat McQueen and Good Opera. If you continue like this, you'll be the weakest racehorse girl in our team in the truest sense."
"The, the weakest..."
Upon hearing this word, the Emperor of the East Sea trembled all over, and subconsciously raised his head, staring blankly at the Golden Master standing in front of him.
In the past, if anyone had dared to speak to the Emperor of the East Sea in such a manner, even the most good-natured young master would likely have engaged in a fierce battle, winning and then returning the words verbatim. But now, the Emperor of the East Sea had already acknowledged his defeat and had no confidence to refute anything.
Because what the Golden Master said is true, she can't even beat the Golden Master, so how can she talk about beating Good Opera? Or beating McQueen and Raging Waves, who only lost to Good Opera by a narrow margin? Isn't she the weakest one in the team right now?
Although she hasn't debuted yet and still has the opportunity to train, even so, the Emperor of the East Sea can't bear to hear the word "weakest".
"me……"
"I—I won't be the weakest one!! I'll get stronger! I'll get stronger! Even if I lose today! I'll win back sooner or later!"
"Absolutely! We will definitely win back!"
The Emperor of the East Sea finally crumbled at this moment. After letting out a frustrated shout at the Golden Master, he ran away with a sound like a child crying. Along the way, countless racehorse girls were surprised that this darling of Treson Academy would cry so miserably.
After the Emperor of the East Sea fled, Chi Tian slowly walked to the side of the Gold Master. The Gold Master, however, hesitated for a long time before asking:
"Ikezoe...did I...go too far?"
"Yes, it is a bit excessive, but I think the Empress will understand." Chi Tian smiled faintly upon hearing this, reached out and ruffled the head of the Gold Master, and said softly:
"You've really had a tough time playing the bad guy this time, Orpheus."
"Stop touching my head, you idiot, Ikemoto!"
However, the Golden Master still resisted and kicked Ikezoe, who was standing to the side. Fortunately, Ikezoe had anticipated this and quickly jumped to dodge the attack, preventing the Golden Master from succeeding.
"Um, that." At this moment, the outstanding student couldn't help but step forward and say to trainer Chi Tian:
"Ikezoe, Trainer Ikezoe, um, how's the twin-turbo going?"
"It's alright, Karen-chan has already taken her to the infirmary. She should be fine after a nap."
"Yeah……"
She opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to join the team. Perhaps she was once again affected by her inferiority complex, or perhaps she felt that her performance was not outstanding enough.
In that case...why not try winning a few games? At least, winning more games will give you more confidence when you submit your application...
Chapter 198: The Golden Ship: At crucial moments, it all comes down to my actions.
After the East Sea Emperor was given a good lesson by the Golden Master, it wasn't until that evening that the vehicle from the Meguro family finally stopped at the school gate, and the Golden Ship, Meguro McQueen, and Imai got out of the car.
"Well then, we'll head back to school now. Thank you all for your help."
"Please be careful."
With a reminder from the Meguro family driver, the group finally continued walking towards the campus of Treson Academy. Meguro McQueen, still shaken, patted his chest and said to Imai beside him:
"I was so scared... I thought Grandma was going to scold us today, but she not only didn't scold us, she even invited us to stay at home for a while... I really didn't expect that."
"Trainer, why is it that after I suffered defeat after defeat, Grandmother not only didn't blame us, but was even so kind to us? Do you know why?"
"This—McQueen, you don't think that a triple crown horse like Good Opera is so easy to win, do you? Even in the long-distance races that you excel at, Good Opera is in no way inferior."
As for this, Jinlang had obviously anticipated it. Although he did go to the Mejiro family with the attitude of being held accountable at first, the gentle attitude of the old lady Mejiro confirmed that another of Jinlang's guesses was correct - apart from the Emperor's Slam, this old lady did not value the Triple Crown Classic competition very much, and she had also anticipated McQueen's defeat.
After all, McQueen was still some distance from his peak during his classic years. According to the Mejiro family's bloodline, McQueen's true peak should be next year or the year after, when he will finally grow into a true long-range dominator.
As for the Chrysanthemum Sho... even if McQueen wins, he won't become a Triple Crown Horse Girl, so why bother with such a GI race? Madam Mejiro was actually quite satisfied with McQueen and Ryan's performance in the Chrysanthemum Sho. When Ryan stepped up at the crucial moment and helped McQueen break through the encirclement, Madam Mejiro understood that there was no need to dwell on the outcome of this match.
For the elderly, there is no better picture than the harmonious relationship and cooperation of their children, so Madam Meguro did not blame anyone.
Of course, unbeknownst to McQueen, Madam Mejiro still gave Jinlang a reminder.
"Although I don't really care, as long as McQueen can retire safely and healthily and win the Emperor's Award, this continuous defeat will have some impact on our Mejiro family."
“I know you’re not afraid of the stunt team, trainer Jinlang. I know you have ways to handle the stunt team’s influence on the field. But I hope that in the next competition, you and McQueen can bring back a victory that satisfies me. Then, I might not be so worried about the Emperor’s Shot.”
Obviously, finishing second in the Japanese Derby and second in the Chrysanthemum Award is a disappointing result. Moreover, McQueen lost both races to the triple crown winner, Good Opera. To put it bluntly, in this year of classics, McQueen was merely a backdrop for Good Opera.
Winning or losing doesn't matter, but the thought of being a background character for life is unbearable for anyone. Jin Lang understands very well that a combination like "Wada + Good Opera" is indeed more likely to create miracles, but he's not the kind of person who would willingly settle for being a background character.
He was a rider back in the day, and although he's in his seventies or eighties now, his body is still that of a young man. He still has some of the passion and impulsiveness he had back then.
"McQueen, if all goes as expected, you and Ryan will be invited to this year's Arima Memorial. Do you still want to participate?"
"Of course. After all, this is the battle of the century between the 'Emperor' and the 'Overlord'. I want to participate in it and feel the difference between me and the racehorse girls at their peak."
McQueen nodded without hesitation. Although she didn't think she would win either, the Arima Kinen, a race that relied on the number of fans to elect its winners, would definitely attract a lot of strong female racehorses. This was a great opportunity to learn up close. Even if she couldn't win, she believed that she would improve a lot after the Arima Kinen.
“Very good. After the Arima Memorial, let’s start again with the Hanshin Grand Prix in March, McQueen. After that, let’s head straight for the Spring Emperor’s Prize.”
"Understood. This time, I absolutely will not lose!"
When the Emperor's Prize was mentioned, McQueen's eyes lit up. She now had a good understanding of her own strength. Perhaps it would be difficult to compete for the title of the strongest racehorse girl of her time, but she was still on the rise and her strength could continue to improve.
Next year, she will embrace new challenges with a fresh perspective, and she will definitely not miss the Emperor's Award again!
"Oh, McQueen, you're really going all out! Now even good operas will have to give up on the Spring Emperor's Prize, right?" The Golden Ship, looking at the very imposing McQueen, teased him as always with a relaxed tone.
Golden Ship had it easy. She probably trained the least in the whole team. She would train properly for a period of time under Jin Lang's supervision, but that was only for a short period of time.
Her debut is still a long way off. Although Golden Ship could debut at any time, according to her plan, she decided to be the last Uma Musume to debut in the group.
Since everyone is so strong now, there's no need for Lady Golden Ship to join in the fun. Golden Ship's idea is to take advantage of a time when everyone is weak and then suddenly appear as a rising star, attracting attention and popularity without asking.
By then, everyone will have retired or taken a break, and that's when I, the Golden Ship, will shine! At that time, the old man will definitely focus all his attention on me, the Golden Ship, because I will be the last and strongest active racer girl in the team!
Hmph, as expected of my Lord Golden Ship, only I could come up with such a perfect plan!
Just as the Golden Ship and McQueen were lost in their own thoughts, a sudden phone call interrupted their reverie. Jin Lang picked up his phone and answered it:
"Hello? Mr. Ikezoe, what's wrong?"
"—Senior Jinlang, I'm very sorry, but I will explain this later. Please come to our team's accommodation immediately."
Chi Tian's voice came through the phone, filled with apology. He said anxiously, "Donghai Emperor suffered a great blow after a friendly match. Now she's locked herself in her room and won't come out. I'm afraid something might happen to her..."
"I'll be right there."
Jinlang realized the seriousness of the situation from Chitian's brief words, immediately hung up the phone, and said to Golden Ship and McQueen beside him, "Let's go to the team quickly, it seems that something happened to the Empress."
"The Empress? We've only been gone a day and something's already happened to her?" McQueen was startled and couldn't help but worry. He should have brought the Empress with him when he went to the Mejiro family today!
"Then let's hurry, old man!" Upon hearing this, Golden Ship rushed forward, but suddenly remembered something, turned around, slung Jinlang over his shoulder, and said to McQueen:
"McQueen! Don't just stand there, let's go!"
"Oh, oh, wait for me!"
McQueen was slightly startled by Golden Ship's familiar action of carrying Jinlang on its back, but she quickly caught up with Golden Ship and the two women ran towards the team.
……
"Bang bang bang!"
"Your Majesty! Please! Come out! We are all very worried about you!"
Outside the door, not only Ikezoe and his two racehorse girls, but also Wada, along with Good Opera and Ryutō, were trembling with fear. Just when everyone was at a loss, the team's door suddenly opened, and Jinlang, carried on the back of the Golden Ship, and McQueen, who followed closely behind, finally arrived.
"How is the Emperor doing?" Jin Lang asked calmly as he dismounted from the back of the golden ship, completely ignoring the slightly surprised looks from the other racehorse girls.
"There's no sound... If it weren't for the faint crying I could still hear, it would be really worrying..."
"Then why not kick the door open?" Golden Ship couldn't help but ask. "This door should be easy to kick open, given the strength of the racehorse girl."
"I've already tried kicking it, but even Nutao couldn't break it. This door must have been modified; it's really sturdy." Wada waved her hand. Nutao was probably the strongest person in their team, and even she was helpless against it. Obviously, this door was designed to prevent racehorse girls from breaking in.
"Tch, let me give it a try."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Ship was somewhat unconvinced. It waved its hand to signal everyone else to step back, then faced the gate and took a few steps back.
The next moment, everyone felt a sharp aura suddenly come over them. In an instant, the golden ship rushed forward, aiming at the gate, and kicked it with both feet as it flew up!
"boom!"
"It's open!" The golden ship landed steadily on the ground. As two footprints were kicked into the gate, the lock finally broke. Then, Jin Lang strode forward and opened the gate without much effort.
As the outside light illuminated the dark room, Jin Lang finally saw the small body of the East Sea Emperor curled up inside.
"Trainer..."
With tears welling in his eyes, the Emperor of the East Sea turned around in a daze, and on the floor of the room were papers covered with writing on them.
And all those papers were filled with the same dream that the Emperor of the East Sea always kept on his lips—"An Undefeated Triple Crown Racehorse Girl".
Chapter 199: Jin Lang: Two Thousand Nail Fogs in an Inadvertent Moment
“Trainer…” The Emperor of the East Sea turned around in a daze, looking at Jin Lang who was slowly walking towards him. His teary and somewhat unfocused eyes gradually regained some clarity.
"I...I...I'm sorry...I..."
