Damn it, if only that kid Wada had shared half of his emotional intelligence with me... I wouldn't have been exposed so easily now...
"But I'm so happy, Ikezoe-kun, you really tried your best to make me happy." Maruzensky wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile:
"I can no longer run, but I am indeed working hard to enable more children to run. I love seeing them run so happily and freely... It's like seeing myself more than ten years ago."
However, as he said this, Maruzensky belatedly realized that he seemed to have slightly revealed his age. Seeing the look that seemed to have realized this, Maruzensky held up one finger, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and said:
"Don't tell anyone about this, my dear student."
"You're one of the few people who know roughly my age, so please, please don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone." Chi Tian immediately nodded in agreement, as he was well aware of how taboo age was for women.
Faced with such an honest Ikezoe, Maru Zenki suddenly felt a little bored, and immediately, with a slight blush on his cheeks, he joked:
"How boring. At this moment, all you have to do is say, 'Senior, you don't want your age to be revealed, do you?' and that will solve everything..."
"...Never mind, forget I said anything."
However, in the end, it was Maru Zenki herself who became too shy to continue telling the dirty joke. At that moment, she actually looked a bit like a high school student, appearing very naive in this respect.
The moment Maru Zenki blushed, for some reason, Ikezoe, who witnessed this scene, also felt his heart beat faster for no reason, causing his cheeks to suddenly turn red as well.
Just as the awkward atmosphere began to spread, and Ikezoe and Maruzensky were at a loss for what to do, finally, a gasp broke the silence.
"Ah! Found them! Ikezoe! And Maruzen-senpai too!"
Amidst gasps of surprise, a familiar figure dressed in black robes and wearing a witch's hat appeared beside the two.
"Ikezoe, Maruzen-senpai, do you...do you still remember me?"
“Of course, my lovely little witch.” Maru Zenki’s pounding heart calmed down a little, and he smiled as he looked at Dong Shang Biange and asked, “Did you come to us for something?”
"I've figured it out! I'll climb up step by step, and I'll learn magic step by step." Dong Shang Biange nodded happily, then turned to look at Chi Tian and handed him a book that he had been holding.
"Ikezoe, I want to join your team! I want to be like you, win more matches, and learn stronger magic!"
Chapter 241: A Major Shock – Is He Trying to Make a Comeback?
"Oh, so you've finally figured it out? Looks like you took my advice to heart last time."
Maru Zenki didn't seem particularly surprised by Dongshang Reform's choice. In fact, she had observed Dongshang Reform at the scene long ago. Although she wasn't sure what inspiration this competition had given Dongshang Reform, the fact that she was willing to stand here and say these words to Ikezoe and Maru Zenki showed that she had made up her mind.
"Yes, Grandmother didn't lie to me. I watched the race today. Maruzen-senpai and that Golden Master, you are both magical horse racing witches!"
Dong Shang Biange nodded excitedly and said, "I also want to be as strong as you! To become a powerful witch!"
"Although I am only an apprentice witch now, I will definitely win the competition and become stronger, just as powerful as my grandmother!"
As he said this, Dong Shang also handed the book in his hand to Ikezoe and said very solemnly, "Ikezoe, you are Maruzen-senpai's student, right? Then I will start from here. I will surpass all the racehorse girls in your team and then become Maruzen-senpai's student."
"Therefore, I will absolutely not leave the team until I become the strongest racehorse girl in your team!"
Dong Shang was full of confidence. Her grandmother had told her that she had a great talent for becoming a witch, which was why she was sent to Treson Academy to study.
Although Dongshang Reforms doesn't consider himself a match for the Gold Master, he thinks it's easy to bully the seemingly weak (but actually clever) girl next to him.
Unaware of the truth, Dong Shang Bian was very confident, even eager to have a race with Zhenji Lingpao and learn the new magic. But Ikezoe was unaware of Dong Shang Bian's thoughts and simply accepted the book from him.
"Is this book... a gift for me?"
"No, this is what Grandmother said." Dong Shang Biange shook his head upon hearing this and said to Chi Tian, "Grandmother said that if I find a stronger witch at Treson Academy who is worthy of my apprenticeship, I should give this book to him!"
“Now, Ikezoe, you are my trainer. Although you are not a witch, this book should be given to you according to Grandmother’s wishes.”
"Leave it to me..." Chi Tian looked at the book in his hand, which really looked like a magic book, and slowly opened the first page of the notebook.
However, Chi Tian was soon slightly startled by the densely packed words on it. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it contained writings about the changes in the Eastern Merchants. The words seemed to have watched her grow up, and it was more like a diary than a magic book.
Chi Tian casually flipped through a few pages, but the situation remained the same. Chi Tian also flipped through them hastily until the last few pages of the notes, when there was a very abrupt short line of text.
"To the trainer who received this notebook, or Miss Saima, although I don't know your name, if you have been chosen by this girl, please take good care of her for us."
"Don't destroy this child's innocence, and please don't expose the well-intentioned lies we've made up to help her grow up. Let her live like this until she grows into a racehorse girl who can stand on her own. —'Grandmother'."
Chi Tian remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he felt as if he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He silently closed the notebook, looked at the changes in Dongshang, and couldn't help but ask:
"Dong Shang, haven't you read this notebook?"
"Absolutely not! Grandmother said that if I open this notebook, I will have destroyed the witch's legacy and will never have any magic again!" Dong Shang Biange hurriedly said, his little face even showing a bit of struggle.
"Sometimes I really want to open it, but my grandmother has never lied to me, so I believe her and I won't open this notebook."
"……Yeah?"
You really do have a family that loves you very much, Dongshang Biange. Chi Tian looked at the notebook in his hand. Although he didn't quite understand what the Dongshang Biange family was like in this world, since they had entrusted him with such a task... Chi Tian really couldn't refuse now.
Training this little witch into a capable racehorse girl... although Ikezoe has already done it once, but
For Ikezoe, doing it again would probably be an exceptionally difficult challenge.
"...Alright, Dong Shang, from now on you will join my team."
"Yay! I'll call you Qianyi from now on!" Dong Shang Biange immediately raised her little hand and cheered. She really could do what she wanted to do!
However, Chi Tian opened his mouth, wanting to say that they needed to agree on some rules first, such as obeying his commands within the team, but in the end he chose to give up.
...Forget it, in this team, besides the adorable Kallen, who would actually listen to him?
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, the friendly match had ended, and everyone had left. Rudolf, however, approached the horse girl in the black trench coat alone and spoke softly:
"What brings you here? You didn't just come to watch the game, did you?"
"Ah, isn't this Rudolf-senpai? It's been a long time."
The black-haired woman turned around and greeted Rudol in a very friendly manner. However, her gentle attitude did not make Rudol lower his guard.
She wouldn't forget that although this woman was low-key, her talent was truly the best in Japan right now. Even though Good Opera defeated her, everyone subconsciously excluded her because of some scandals that had nothing to do with her.
Rudolf's symbolism is very clear: this racehorse girl is a gentle young woman in everyday life, but on the racetrack, she is a true "hero" who overcomes all obstacles.
"You haven't answered my question yet," Rudol asked casually. "The racehorse girl from Shetai, coming to Central Teresen Academy without a word, putting on such a clumsy yet conspicuous disguise, what exactly is she trying to do?"
"Please answer my question—Miss Great Shock."
"Oh dear, Rudolf-senpai is as serious as ever~ I thought I had done a good enough job of pretending~"
Faced with Rudolf's persistent questioning, the very approachable black-haired racehorse girl finally took off her raincoat hood, revealing her delicate, icy beauty. However, the faint smile on her face made people feel an involuntary sense of goodwill.
This is a huge shock. The name of this racehorse girl who went to deal with the problems of the club with the chairman and Tsuna Suguru in the central council is her. Moreover, her record and strength are terrifying. It can be said that she is the racehorse girl who should have taken over the position of the symbol of Rudol.
—Until that scandal occurred, Dai-chan completely faded from the view of the Japanese horse racing world, but her status in the center is still extremely high. It can be said that she is the essence of Japanese horse racing, the second undefeated triple crown horse girl!
It's hard to imagine that someone with such high achievements and status could be such an approachable person. Even so, despite the immense shock, Rudol remained tense and cautious, asking calmly:
"Is this what the media outlet wants? You haven't given up on your goals yet?"
"Honestly, how many times do I have to tell you? I've already cut ties with the sports channel. Now I'm just a regular Central Racemate, just with a slightly higher ranking."
She made a gesture of separation between two fingers towards Rudol, but in reality, within the Central Horse Racing Association, her status was even higher than that of the chairman of the board of directors of the Beresen Academy; she was the true chief.
In this respect, Rudolf Symbol should actually maintain a respectful attitude towards the Great Shock, but the current Rudolf Symbol is merely negotiating with the Great Shock as a racehorse girl.
"So, what are you here for? Are you really just here to watch a friendly match? You're so busy you didn't even have a chance to say hello to us, and you sneaked out all by yourself?" Lu Duoxiang didn't believe it.
Unexpectedly, Da Zhenhan nodded and said happily, "Yes, I just came to watch the game. I just don't want people to see me. After all... there are some things I don't like to hear."
"And this trip was worthwhile, Rudolf-senpai. This time, I met a true embodiment of the essence of Japanese Uma Musume."
"—You mean the Golden Master?" Rudolf was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and said with some disbelief, "She is not mature yet, why do you think so?"
“Intuition.” Great Shock rubbed his head, and with a playful tone, uttered words that even Rudolf found shocking:
"Senior Rudolf, I really want to have a good run with that child when she reaches her peak."
Chapter 242: A Great Shock Sparks Interest in the Gold Master
"You mean... the Golden Master? That's shocking! Do you really know what you're saying?"
However, despite both being undefeated triple crown racehorses, Rudolf showed a different kind of shock at the shocking words. Rudolf knew very well that the racehorse in front of him was the epitome of Japanese racehorse girls, a secret weapon cultivated by the racing company with countless resources, intended to challenge for the strongest position in Japan.
With such resources nurturing and development, Daishin's strength is truly at the pinnacle of Japanese football. She not only achieved the same undefeated triple crown as Rudolf, but also became a seven-crown racehorse girl. She only lost twice in her racing career, once as runner-up, and the other time... was related to that scandal.
After the scandal, in order to protect its reputation from being ruined, the company shelved The Big Shock and removed her from the list of top-tier racehorses, as if she had never existed. Rudolf once spoke out in her defense to express his indignation, but in the end, the matter was dropped.
The reason is that, in the face of great shock, she voluntarily gave up her honor.
"I have achieved all the honors that a racehorse girl can attain, and my life is now complete. Wouldn't it be better to hand over the stage to more racehorse girls?"
—Leaving behind such a nonchalant remark, Great Shock completely disappeared from everyone's sight, to the point that many people have selectively forgotten this undefeated triple crown racehorse girl, and everyone feels that they may never see Great Shock return to the racetrack in this lifetime.
Lu Duo also believed this, after all, if the Shetai didn't want to embarrass themselves, they would never allow Da Zhenhan to return to the arena. After all, if Da Zhenhan returned to the arena, the truth about the scandal would undoubtedly be brought up again, and the truth might be revealed to the world. At that time, if the Shetai wanted to save face, even the three goddesses would probably not be able to stand by and watch what they did.
But now, shockingly, she's saying she wants to return to the racetrack? And not as a new racehorse girl with a completely different look, but as the studio's secret weapon, the undefeated triple crown racehorse girl... This is so shocking, I have to say, is her name really not a mistake?
"What's wrong, Rudolf-senpai?" Great Shock seemed to feel that Rudolf Symbol did not welcome her back to the racetrack, and said with a pout, "We are both undefeated triple crown racehorse girls, so why can you have a good showdown with Arima Kinen and Hao Gege, while I can only watch?"
"I'm a racehorse girl too, and I'm very competitive, you know. President Rudolf, you can't abuse your power for personal gain."
“That’s not what I meant…” Rudol also opened her mouth, but faced with the unpretentious Da Shenhuang, she didn’t even know how to communicate with her—this girl didn’t look like an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl at all.
"What I mean is, you're returning to the competition, are you really not planning to change your identity? What about the broadcasting station..."
"I've already had a good talk with the sports betting companies." Da Zhenhan smiled and said, "The influence of the sports betting companies isn't as strong as it used to be. After their last defeat, they don't have the extra energy to interfere in the competition anymore, and of course, they don't have time to bother with me either."
"Although I am still a racehorse girl under the company, I am now semi-free, so if I really want to return to the racetrack, there is no problem at all."
"...I almost forgot, you were on the list of organizations that the Central Committee jointly sanctioned last time."
As the student council president, Rudo is naturally aware of some of the inside stories of the central government. The influence of the current radio station is indeed not as great as it used to be. Rudo's fair defeat at the Arima Memorial caused the radio station's stock to plummet, which was intended to cultivate Rudo's "emperor" image. Afterwards, with the central government's encouragement, it will be very difficult for the radio station to regain its former influence.
The overwhelming support was the final straw for the TV station. Even their undefeated triple crown horse, which they had invested heavily in developing and which still held a high position in the central government despite being sidelined, did not stand with them. You can imagine how big the blow this was to the TV station.
If Da Shenhan really does reappear as she says, and finally reveals the scandal from back then... then the TV station will probably be doomed from this point on.
But that's not entirely the central government's goal. If one local radio station is gone, another will rise up. Only half-dead local radio stations are what the central government needs most right now.
"Since you value the Gold Master so much, why don't you teach her yourself? If you train her personally, perhaps she will surpass you even faster."
"Oh, a duel between master and disciple? That scene just happened. It's interesting, but it's not what I want to see."
However, Da Zhenhan smiled slightly upon hearing this. Although she usually appears to be an ice queen, she is actually a peaceful and easy-going person. But this does not mean that Da Zhenhan, as an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl, does not have her own principles.
