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

However, in reality, both the clever and the master were still a little angry inside. Because of this child who didn't want to train, their trainer had to endure the cold wind like this. The only difference was that although the clever was angry, she wouldn't show it, but would only be more concerned about Ikezoe's condition.

Although the Golden Master didn't explicitly state that she was angry, she still stood up for Ikemoto at this critical moment, defending him and teaching the child a lesson.

She was preparing for the Classic Year, so Chi Tian didn't have much time to waste here—this was what angered the Golden Master the most. Of course, she wasn't comfortable watching Chi Tian freeze here either, especially since this troublesome person wasn't her.

However, just as Dong Shangbian sat back down on the ground, Chi Tian immediately sensed something and instinctively said:

"Orphie, don't do this, quick..."

"Waaah—"

However, by the time Chi Tian realized all this, it was already too late. The next moment, a cry from the little witch was like the sound of a dam breaking its banks, and there was nothing that could be done to stop it.

"Ughh ...

"Bad people! Idiots! You're all ganging up on me! Waaaaaah!"

It happened! The situation that Chi Tian feared most had finally occurred! At this moment, when the cries of this still young little witch rang out, the nightmare was completely beyond redemption. The deafening cries immediately filled the eardrums of the three people and entered their brains, making their heads ache.

Yes, even Ikezoe was helpless in this situation. He could deal with a little witch who threw a tantrum, but he had never dealt with a little witch who cried!

Chapter 232: Maruzensky's Test of the Gold Master?

Adults generally have little resistance to the sound of children crying. Whether they feel heartache, annoyance, or are simply bystanders, the deafening noise of children's cries always immediately draws everyone's attention, prompting them to express different emotions.

For example, in the current situation, when Dongshang was so frightened by the Golden Master that he burst into tears, all the racehorse girls in the training ground put down what they were doing and turned to look immediately. Instantly, countless eyes were on Ikezoe and his group, making everyone uneasy.

"Oh no, the worst thing has happened..."

Chi Tian slapped his forehead, at a loss for what to do with Dongshang Reform, who was sitting on the ground crying. Zhen Jiling and the Golden Master were also surprised that Dongshang Reform was so easily frightened that he burst into tears.

"What, what should we do, Chi Tian?!" The Gold Master was immediately at a loss. She didn't know how to comfort people, so she subconsciously looked at Chi Tian beside her and asked.

"I don't know either. Why do you think I have experience taking care of children?" Chi Tian was also at a loss. She subconsciously looked at the only person next to her who seemed most like a mother, Zhen Jiling.

However, upon noticing the pleading looks in the eyes of the Gold Master and Ikezoe, Makoto was slightly taken aback, then, unusually, waved his hand with a troubled expression and said:

"Um, Karen-chan, I don't know how either... Karen-chan, I can only comfort those kids who are captivated by Karen-chan's cuteness, but this trick doesn't seem to work on Tousho-kun, after all, even Fuji-senpai was defeated back then."

"Or, Onii-chan, why don't you give it another try? I think Dong Shang will listen to you, you know?"

"..."

However, seeing that Zhen Jiling had once again passed the buck back, Chi Tian opened his mouth but was helpless. In the end, after glancing at Dong Shang Bian Ge, who was huddled on the ground crying, he, being the most "experienced" among the group, took the initiative to step forward.

This time, Chi Tian's expression was much more relaxed than when he confronted Dongshang Biange earlier. He silently squatted down, looked at Dongshang Biange who was now hugging his legs and whose eyes were red, and after a long time, he slowly asked.

"...Still don't want to train?"

"Waaah..." Upon hearing this, Dong Shang Biange stopped crying and simply hugged his legs, letting out a choked sob of confirmation.

"Is it that you really can't muster the motivation? Or is it that you just don't like the feeling of being forced?" Chi Tian felt that Dong Shang was much more understandable after crying during the reform, so he took the opportunity to ask a few more questions.

"I hate it..." Dong Shang Bian replied sullenly, his voice trembling with tears, "I hate training... I hate competitions... I hate it..."

"No trainer, no one I know, even if I win I don't learn any new magic, and I can't outrun... Ugh..."

"Grandma lied to me... You can't learn magic by running races... How annoying..."

Ah, that makes a little more sense now. Upon hearing this, Chi Tian also understood the meaning of the Dongshang reform and why she resisted the competition and training.

From our previous conversation, I can tell that this child's grandmother is some kind of witch, right? Although Ikezumi doesn't know whether this witch means a charlatan or is truly a mysterious force in this world, at least Dongshang Biange greatly admires his grandmother, and might even have been raised by her.

However, this child was probably sent to be a racehorse girl because her talent for running was discovered, and her grandmother probably tricked her into coming to Treson Academy by saying that "you can learn magic if you win the race" in order to appease the emotions of the Dongshang Reform. And she believed it without a doubt.

But after participating in several competitions, she realized that she couldn't learn magic at all. Gradually, she felt that she had been deceived by her grandmother, and she stopped liking competitions and, naturally, training.

I never imagined that the little witch in this world hated training because of this... For a moment, Ikezoe found it somewhat amusing, but quickly turned to Dongshang Reform and said:

"If there's no trainer... how about I become your trainer?"

"……well?"

However, upon hearing this, Dong Shang's voice faltered slightly as he looked up at Chi Tian with teary eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

But Dong Shang Bian was no fool. Of course she knew that Chi Tian was just comforting her. Stubbornly, she immediately turned her head away and said, pretending to be strong, "No, I hate it."

"You, you're not a witch, and you don't know magic, so I don't want you to be my trainer."

"Ah... I don't know magic, but I don't think your grandmother was lying to you."

Chi Tian waved his hand and said softly to Dong Shang Biange, "After winning the race, you can indeed learn magic. Although it may not be the same magic you think of, you really will learn magic after winning the race."

"You're lying." Dong Shang Biange shook his head and said stubbornly, "I've won several times, but I haven't learned it at all."

"That's because the competition level isn't high enough. The higher the competition level, the higher the chance of learning magic." Chi Tian was also lying through his teeth to comfort Dong Shang Bian, because judging from the little witch's current tone, the probability of him successfully getting her to cooperate with the training was getting higher and higher.

Moreover, he wasn't entirely lying. In his view, the horse girls in this world could unleash their true power with an "aura," which was indeed no different from magic. Furthermore, top-tier horse girls even possessed a "domain," making it even more like magic.

So, the idea that winning a race can teach you magic isn't entirely unfounded. Take opera and the Golden Master, for example; they are both classic examples of transformation through competition.

...Perhaps, the "magic" that the grandmother of the Eastern Merchants Reform was referring to actually meant this? At this moment, Chi Tian seemed to understand why the grandmother of the Eastern Merchants Reform used this excuse to send the Eastern Merchants Reform to study at Treson Academy.

This is a grandmother who hopes her child can succeed, so she fabricated such a well-intentioned lie about the changes at Dongshang College, tricking her into going to Treson Academy...

Meanwhile, in Chitian's territory, the Golden Master and the True Clever One were somewhat surprised to see that Chitian had actually managed to appease the Eastern Merchants' Reform. However, the two women reacted differently to Chitian's opportunistic fabrication.

"Onii-chan, lying is not a good thing."

"It's not exactly a lie, since winning a competition makes you stronger, but I'm not entirely sure how strong this little girl really is." The Golden Master shrugged and asked Zhen Jiling beside him:

"Karen-chan, what do you think? Will Ikezoe really recruit this girl into the team?"

"...I don't know either, but I feel like this is a child who doesn't make things easy for others."

As Zhen Jiling observed the current changes in Dongshang, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face. It was unclear which area she was referring to when she said "troublesome."

"Hehe, cute little girl, your junior really wasn't lying. You won the race, and that really does involve magic! It's just that you're only an apprentice witch right now, so you don't understand the magic on the field yet~"

At that moment, a mature voice suddenly entered everyone's ears. Before the group could react, Chi Tian immediately turned his head and saw Maru Zenki standing behind the Golden Master and the True Mechanic.

"Teacher? Why are you here?"

"Ah, my dear student, I haven't quit Treson Academy. Although I'm no longer running competitions, I haven't left either."

Out of the corner of the eye of the Gold Master and the Genie, Maru Zenki's mature and slender figure emerged from between the two women, her devilish figure, which was far beyond what a child could compare to, and walked to Ikezoe's side.

"It's been a while, my student. How come you've managed to snag another adorable racehorse girl? And you even made her cry? That's not good, Koike Zoe. I don't like guys who make girls cry."

"What are you talking about, teacher..." Ikezoe didn't know how to answer, but having been studying with Maruzensky for some time, she changed the subject appropriately, saying, "Teacher, you came to see me? Is there something you need?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just came to see my dear students and see if they have put their knowledge of me, their teacher, into practice."

Maruzensky chuckled softly upon hearing this, then turned her gaze to the Golden Master and Makoto, who were staring intently at her. Her gaze was primarily focused on the Golden Master, and she raised an eyebrow slightly as she spoke:

"Also... I plan to test my student's most proud racehorse girl to see how strong she really is now."

However, as soon as Maruzensky finished speaking, an aura that invigorated everyone present swept over them. The Golden Master immediately sensed Maruzensky's provocation and his expression turned serious. He fearlessly retorted.

For a moment, the fierce confrontation between the two racehorses on the training field made many of the other racehorses feel breathless. Dongshang Bianhe, standing to the side, was even trembling with fear at the confrontation and hid behind Ikezoe.

But, despite her instinctive fear, she was surprisingly energetic. It was as if the woman who had been frightened to tears by the Golden Master earlier wasn't her at all; her eyes were bright as she murmured to herself:

"Is this... this magic?"

"Grandmother—she really wasn't lying to me! The racehorse girl who won the race actually has magic!"

Chapter 233: A Match with the Final Bets

The Gold Master did not particularly like Maruzensky.

The Golden Master had no intention of hiding this fact, because ever since the first time Maruzensky met her after her competition, when she tested the Golden Master with her aura, the Golden Master believed that this woman was deliberately picking a fight with her. She had never had a good impression of people who took the initiative to provoke her.

After that, this despicable woman secretly made her trainers her students, without initially intending to tell them. Although the misunderstanding was later cleared up, the Golden Master still disliked Maruzensky's self-righteous approach to this matter.

Now, Maruzensky has reappeared in front of her, showing a close relationship with her trainer, and even offered to "test" her abilities.

This is absolutely intolerable.

"Oh my, she's really impressive. I heard that she's not usually a very brave racehorse girl, but she becomes a completely different person once she gets into race mode. I'm sure that's true."

Maruzensky also noticed the intense hostility of the Golden Master. However, the two were ultimately not on the same level. Maruzensky silently withdrew his aura, showing no sign of wavering in the face of the Golden Master's hostility.

Maruzenski was, after all, a senior who had been at Tressen Academy for countless years. Even Rudolf had to address her as "senior." Even if Maruzenski couldn't outrun Rudolf, she was not intimidated by the so-called "emperor's majesty."

If he wasn't even afraid of the emperor, how could a nascent "tyrant" possibly frighten Maruzensky?

"The hostility is strong, that's good. Juniors should be more competitive, but it seems that's not the case?" Maru Zenki's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, which actually brought him closer to Ikezoe.

"Or... are you simply jealous, and dissatisfied that your trainer is my dear student?"

"—Let go of Chi Tian, ​​you old woman."

However, this time, the Golden Master's face darkened. Although she hadn't yet decided on her feelings, and it was impossible for her to develop the relationship like she had with the Good Opera and Wada, she still implicitly accepted that Ikezoe was her "possession".

She could accept Zhen Jiling, since she couldn't beat him anyway; she didn't care about that brat Dong Shang Bianhe either, since that brat couldn't possibly threaten her.

But Maru Zenki was different. Whether it was her devilishly mature figure, her even bolder "offensive," or the intense aggression and purposefulness that even the Golden Master lacked, he couldn't help but feel angry even though he knew she was deliberately provoking him.

Moreover, this time, even the shrewd and cunning one became serious. At this moment, she stood with the Golden Master, gazing at Maruzensky together.

"Hahaha, how scary, how scary! Ikezoe-kun, it seems your two designated horse girls are quite unique~"

“Teacher…” Ikezoe, who had been casually pushed aside by Maruzensky, had no idea what Maruzensky was up to. However, the Golden Master quickly stepped forward, pulled Ikezoe over, and then asked Maruzensky, word by word:

"Stop talking nonsense. If you're here to provoke us, then let's have a match and settle this once and for all."

"Hmph, although I'm also very curious about the strength of the new generation of racehorse girls, unfortunately, I'm no longer racing~"

However, Maruzen smiled slightly upon hearing this, and the next moment, he said to Ikezoe and his group, "But if it's a friendly match, I don't mind, and I'm even willing to add a bet to this match."

"If you beat me, I'll get a friend I recently met to design a GI tournament final outfit for you at a high price. How about that?"

"The final battle suit?" X3

However, when Maruzenski said this, both Ikezoe, the Golden Master, and Makire were slightly surprised by Maruzenski's generosity. As horse racing girls, the two girls knew very well how important a good racing outfit was to a horse racing girl.

Treson Academy has a universal winning outfit, which is versatile and comfortable to wear, and no racehorse girl would feel uncomfortable. However, it is not tailor-made for every racehorse girl and has some flaws, making it impossible to bring out the full potential of each racehorse girl.

But a tailor-made winning outfit is a completely different story. There are only a handful of skilled craftsmen in Japan who can make tailor-made winning outfits, and it's usually impossible to book one. If you could have them make a winning outfit for you, even if you don't have the opportunity, the money alone would be enough for many horse racers to earn in a lifetime.

Maruzensky immediately offered two sets of winning outfits, which was quite a bold move—but when Ikezoe thought about Maruzensky's supercar, he felt that Maruzensky should indeed have the ability to do so.

"It looks like... you're about to lose two sets of your final outfit."
