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

"There's no need to feel pressured, Nutao. This match doesn't present any particularly strong opponents for us. You just need to perform to the best of your ability... Of course, that's not difficult for you now."

In the lounge, Wada really didn't have much to say to Nutao. Nutao's strength was still steadily increasing. Although her speed had gradually slowed down, there was no doubt that Nutao was now close to her peak strength. Without a good opera or some monster horse girls in her team, if the famous Nutao performed well in this match, she would undoubtedly win.

"Nu Tao, you absolutely must win the second GI this time! This overlord firmly believes that you can break your limits this time." Good Opera patted Nu Tao on the shoulder, encouraging his most favored subject, and Nu Tao nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, fellow opera student, and trainer... I'm going in."

"Well, be careful."

Wada patted Nutao on the shoulder, then let her head to the popular stage with peace of mind. Nutao watched the opera and Wada's figures slowly disappear, and after a long while, she took a deep breath, her eyes becoming serious.

At that very moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Nu Tao, and without any apparent reason, stretched out a finger and poked Nu Tao's side.

"Huh?!" Nu Tao suddenly shuddered, all his anger dissipating in that instant. He immediately turned around and found a black-haired racehorse girl he had never seen before standing behind him, wearing a rather common winning outfit. The two fingers she held up indicated that she was the instigator.

"Who...who are you?"

"Hehe, I just came to say hello to our most popular player in this competition. It's just a little joke. I hope my friend doesn't mind."

A very gentle smile appeared on the face of the black-haired racehorse girl. The smile was very pure. However, the makeup on her face was unusually heavy, which did not match the pure smile at all. Instead, it had a contradictory and strange feeling.

"My name is 'Deep Impact,' and you're the famous general, Fury Wave, right? The one who shone brightly in the Autumn Emperor's Prize and defeated thirteen opponents in one fell swoop?"

"Yes, yes..." Upon seeing the racehorse named Deep Impact standing before him, the renowned rider, Nu Tao, seemed quite relaxed and naturally said, "That race was just a fluke..."

"That wasn't just luck. In that race, all those racehorse girls from the clubhouse tried to block you out, right? Not just any racehorse girl can break through those layers of encirclement. From that point of view, Meisho, you're really strong."

"That's great! I really want to be able to defeat thirteen opponents in one go like my classmate, it would be so cool!"

"Hehe... Is it really okay to praise me like this?"

Nutao was a little embarrassed by Deep Impact's praise, and awkwardly scratched her hair. Fortunately, her timidity had improved considerably, and she quickly recovered and asked:

“Deep Impact…Are you also a student at Treson Academy? I don’t think I’ve heard of you before…”

"Hehe, I'm not a horse girl from Treson Academy—well, I should say I wish I were, but unfortunately I graduated from a private horse girl academy."

"Sigh... Private schools, are there even horse racer academies like this?"

Nu Tao was also hearing about a private horse racing academy for the first time. Just as the two were talking, a bell ringing, signaling the start of a race, drew their attention. Deep Impact, seeing this, waved his hand and said to Nu Tao:

"Well then, I'll take my leave now, Master. I really look forward to seeing you win this time, since you're the most popular player."

"Yes, everyone, let's cheer each other on in the game!"

Raging Waves bowed politely to Deep Impact, then jogged slowly toward the arena. Deep Impact, watching Raging Waves' back, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of azure pupils.

"She's an even more innocent child than I imagined... Master Futō, it seems that the new generation of racehorse girls is becoming more and more talented."

"I'm really looking forward to this match, Nutao. You definitely won't lose this time, but whether you can 'win' is another matter."

Muttering to himself, "Deep Impact" silently pulled up the hood of his final outfit, concealing his face, and then strode slowly toward the arena.

……

"Welcome everyone to Hanshin Racecourse! GI Osaka Cup! We are about to provide commentary for this 2000-meter middle-distance turf race!" Surprisingly, the commentator this time is still Misako Akasaka, but this time, Junko Hosoe is not by her side. Instead, a completely unfamiliar woman is present.

"Now, the race girls have all entered the arena. The biggest highlight of this race is the most popular horse, the famous rider Nutao, who shone brightly in the Autumn Emperor's Slam!"

"This is her first GI competition this year, so can she achieve a back-to-back GI titles? Let's wait and see."

"Oh, the renowned general Nutao looks incredibly confident today! He's in fantastic form!"

The camera quickly focused on the renowned player Nu Tao, who had just entered the gate. Full of confidence, she seemed ready for a comeback, and the sparkle in her eyes made her fans cheer her on even more enthusiastically.

"It's really lively." In the audience, Wada, Hao Geju, and Nase Fumino, who had been there all along, stood together. Their expressions were very relaxed, and they were fully prepared for Nutao's victory.

"I wonder how the competition is going for Ikezoe-kun. The short-distance races should finish earlier than ours, right?"

“Makoto’s dominance in short-distance races is undeniable. Trainer Ikezoe must be popping champagne to celebrate his team’s first GI victory right now,” Naze Fumino replied casually.

At that moment, Fumino Naze's gaze turned to the racetrack. There, on the racehorse girl being pushed through the gate by the staff, was the twelfth racehorse girl with the lowest popularity, Deep Impact.

However, upon seeing the racehorse girl's black hair, Naze Fumino couldn't help but frown slightly, which caught the attention of Wada, who asked with concern, "What's wrong, Trainer Naze?"

"...It's nothing, I guess I'm just overthinking it." Naze Fumino put her questions aside for the time being. The horse girl from earlier reminded her of a horse girl she knew very well.

But thinking about it carefully, that person has been completely sidelined by the club, so there's no way he could possibly appear in the Osaka Cup now.

Unless... she abandons her past honors and, at the risk of being exposed and having her achievements revoked, starts afresh with a completely new identity.

But there was no reason, absolutely no justification for her to do so. After much thought, Naze Fumino abandoned her own ideas and focused intently on the match at hand.

"Dangdang!"

"All the racehorses have started! Oh, Deep Impact number 12 seems to have had a slightly slow start, he's a little late."

"The renowned general, Nutao, is currently in a favorable position, leading the pack and ranking third in the front of the group! He seems to be handling the situation with ease!"

Chapter 247: The Extra-Long Final Kick of Deep Impact?

"Great, I got a really good spot!"

The start just now also drew a cheer from the opera on stage. Even the opera felt that it couldn't have done better than Nutao's start, as it immediately seized a favorable position. For Nutao, who is stronger than the opera, a favorable position is even more advantageous for her breakthrough skills.

On the stage, Naze Fumino's gaze was unconsciously fixed on Deep Impact, who was running at the back of the group using a chasing tactic, and her running posture made Naze Fumino's brows furrow even more.

It really does look...more and more familiar. What's going on? Does that guy have a personal disciple?

Wait, Naze Fumino suddenly looked up, as if she had just realized something, and muttered to herself:

"Deep Impact... Deep Impact... Deep Impact?!"

"I see, I see—I should have realized that sooner!"

"Hmm? Trainer Naise, what's wrong?" Wada noticed Naise Fumino's mutterings, but the scene was so noisy that she couldn't hear what she was saying.

But all they saw was Naze Fumino suddenly turn around and say to Wada, "Trainer Wada, I need to go to the racetrack organizer's office. Please wait for me a moment!"

She needs to find out why this "Deep Impact" came to the Osaka Cup, and she also needs to figure out what her purpose was in appearing at the competition, and whether it was related to the TV station.

And... what exactly is her purpose in making a comeback? What attracted her and made her willing to take such a risk to return to the competition?

What are you thinking...? This is shocking!

……

However, at this moment on the Osaka Cup track, the female racehorses had no idea what terrifying opponent they were fighting against. They only thought that their biggest opponent was the famous racer Nutsui, and they were completely unaware of the disguised, pseudonymous "Deep Impact" slowly approaching from behind.

Now, the track has passed the second bend, and Nutao is gradually seizing the opportunity, starting to exert more force with his foot.

"Oh! The second turn has been passed, and Meijang Nutao is starting to gradually increase his power! Is he planning to exert his power at the third turn? Is Meijang Nutao's most famous tactic about to be repeated?!" Akasaka Mitsuko's commentary also made the audience cheer. Everyone felt that Meijang Nutao was bound to win this race.

The renowned player Nu Tao was also very confident about this. She saw the opportunity and was certain that she could win this match!

Once she reaches the third bend, she can unleash her formidable breakthrough ability!

"I can win, I'm sure I can win this one!"

The famous general, Nutao, thought with joy in his heart, and his stamina gradually began to increase. The breakthrough of Saima Niang, who was known for her strength, was slowly beginning to show.

But at this very moment, the "deep impact" who had been at the back of the line finally found her chance.

"Have they started putting in the effort yet?"

"Well... it's finally time to get to the main event."

"Hmm?" At this moment, a female racehorse in the chasing line noticed something was wrong with Deep Impact. She subconsciously glanced at Deep Impact beside her and found that Deep Impact had somehow moved from the back of the line to in front of her.

When did she accelerate? There was no sign at all.

The racehorse girl seemed a little incredulous. She tried to accelerate herself to maintain her position, but she gradually discovered that the gap between herself and Deep Impact was not widening, but rather narrowing even faster!

However, she still didn't notice any signs of acceleration from the other horse. In her eyes, this horse girl named Deep Impact, who had joined the Osaka Cup with the lowest popularity this time, was just running the same way as before at the start!

What the hell? At this moment, this poor racehorse girl experienced for the first time the great shock of that proud, imperceptible acceleration technique.

Normally, if a female racehorse has a tendency to accelerate, there will be obvious movements. But Da Shenhan is completely different. Her acceleration is silent and difficult to detect, so much so that there is no time to react.

By the time you notice the dramatic acceleration and try to react, it's already too late.

Of course, there are still ways to attract attention... for example...

"Then, let's have a pleasant competition—classmate Nutao."

The shocking words had barely left her lips when suddenly, a [domain] that chilled the horse racers to the bone erupted! Instantly, all the horse racers instinctively looked at "Deep Impact" behind them with horrified eyes, wondering who could unleash such a [domain] that they all wanted to avoid.

But when their gaze fell upon Da Shenjing, they discovered that she was now giving off a completely different feeling—all they could see was a powerful aura of blue and black surrounding her body, and her originally gentle face had become extremely cold at this moment, with even the phantom of eerie blue flames burning in her left azure eye!

If Mi Yu were here right now, she might think that the racehorse girl named "Deep Impact" felt similar to her, but in reality, they were completely different.

Although the overwhelming aura was similar in color to the burst of rice from the bath, the feeling was completely different. The rice bath brought an immense sense of crisis and tension, followed by the feeling of seizing an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

The great shock, however, was like an endless suppression, but this suppression was completely different from the sense of dominance symbolized by "Emperor" Rudol. Instead, it made every racehorse girl who competed with him feel a very strange feeling from the bottom of her heart.

—There's no way I could be a match for this guy. At this moment, all the female racehorses, and even the renowned racer Nutao in front, had this strange thought in their minds.

"Deep Impact has been unleashed! Deep Impact has accelerated! The twelfth most popular player in the Osaka Cup! Deep Impact! Unleashed an extremely powerful [Domain]! A strength completely different from her popularity ranking!"

"Deep Impact accelerated from the outside lane, overtaking all the racehorse girls in one fell swoop! It's heading straight for the position of the famous 'Raging Waves'!"

"Ha!" The famous general Nu Tao suddenly came to her senses. At this moment, the deep impact was rapidly approaching from the outside lane at a speed visible to the naked eye. She did not dare to be careless and immediately focused her attention on the track.

Even so, the renowned general Nu Tao felt immense pressure from behind! The approaching aura, as if eager to fight her to the death, made Nu Tao dare not be careless at all.

The next moment, Nu Tao's pupils suddenly froze, and without hesitation, she unleashed her full power. Her powerful aura propelled her body, allowing her to resist the psychological impact of the shocking domain.

"boom!"

"Oh! The renowned general, Raging Waves, has also unleashed his power! This time, he's starting even earlier than before. Raging Waves is gradually widening the gap between himself and Deep Impact, but Deep Impact's acceleration shows no signs of slowing down!"

"Deep Impact and Raging Waves! The two most popular and least popular female racehorses are charging toward the finish line at an astonishing speed!"

"How could this be..." Upon seeing this scene, Wada's relaxed expression could no longer be maintained. He stared very seriously at the raging torrent, which had just unleashed its final kick but was still unable to completely distance itself from the Deep Impact. He sensed that the current situation was starting to turn bad.

"Even with the last kick of Raging Wave, she couldn't create distance from that Deep Impact, and this [Domain]... Is she really the least popular racehorse girl?"

"That's not all, Ryuji." The opera singers standing nearby now wore serious expressions, staring intently at the deeply bruised body, and said with utmost solemnity:

"This is not her full strength. The Deep Impact is still accelerating—it looks like a final kick, but it's an ultra-long-distance final kick acceleration. We don't even know where her acceleration limit is."

"Rather than a racehorse, she's more like a cheetah—a jet-black cheetah that runs incredibly fast and can go very far!"

“I feel like her running style is a bit familiar…” Wada gradually calmed down. At this moment, he noticed that the gap between Raging Waves and Deep Impact was slowly narrowing. Now that they were approaching the final straight sprint, the outcome of this battle seemed less certain.

However, Wada also noticed Deep Impact's running style. As a professional jockey, he saw something special at this moment. He did not believe that a racehorse girl who could unleash such a range and such a powerful last leg could be an unknown existence.
