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

That means... the other person's name might be fake, but who it is, Hetian is still unsure.

But this running style, this posture, seemed somewhat familiar to him. He vaguely sensed that the jet-black racehorse galloping on the track was someone he knew well, even though he had never faced her directly.

Chapter 248: The Shock of Being Ultimately Suspended

"Ryuji, have you ever seen this racehorse girl called Deep Impact?" Good Opera also noticed Wada's words immediately and couldn't help but ask curiously, "I've never heard of this name. Based on my familiarity with everyone at Treson Academy, I can confirm that our school doesn't have such a racehorse girl."

"Yes, she's definitely not from Treson Academy, otherwise she wouldn't be so inconspicuous; none of us have ever heard of her." Wada nodded and said very seriously:

"At the moment, I only have one guess: I think 'Deep Impact' is not the real name of this racehorse girl."

"Oh? Ryuji, you mean... this racer girl called Deep Impact is another racer girl in disguise?"

Good Opera found Wada's guess somewhat unbelievable. Although she trusted Wada's judgment, she did have some different opinions at this point.

"Why...? If she competes under a false identity, it's against the rules and she'll definitely be disqualified, or even banned. Why would she take such a big risk and compete under a false identity?"

"...I don't know either." Wada thought about it carefully, but he still had no clue. However, when he focused his gaze on Deep Impact racing on the field, an idea slowly emerged.

"But this running posture, this powerful long-distance sprint, the running style that brings an extremely shocking visual effect, I only know one person who can possibly achieve this effect."

"Oh? Who is it?" Good Opera was also surprised that there was such a powerful racehorse girl whose name she did not know, while Wada was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on the track, where the famous rider Nutao was slowly approaching with deep impact.

"Ha ha--"

"How could this be? How could she be so powerful? Deep Impact—why is she so strong? But I don't even know her name?"

Nu Tao was somewhat bewildered amidst a wave of self-doubt. She had never imagined that this racehorse girl, whom she had only met once before the race and who was a bit strange but very friendly, could unleash such formidable power.

Now that things have come to this, even Nu Tao sensed something was wrong, but in this critical moment, she had no time to think too much.

The finish line is in sight! But her all-out effort is not over yet!

"Do they still have the strength to keep going? Their strength and endurance are really impressive."

Beside Nu Tao, the sound of a deep impact slowly rising made Nu Tao's pupils narrow slightly. Nu Tao turned his head slightly in disbelief and realized that the figure of the deep impact had already arrived beside him at some point.

For the first time, when Nu Tao used all her strength to break through, a racehorse girl was still able to catch up. For a moment, Nu Tao's eyes were slightly dazed, and the expression of ease that Nu Tao had shown deeply pierced her heart once again.

"But I'm still a tiny bit stronger, my friend."

"Deep Impact has overtaken! Unbelievable! Deep Impact has actually overtaken the renowned champion, Nutsui!!" Misato Akasaka's incredulous voice echoed throughout the racetrack, immediately causing an uproar among the audience.

"It really was her!" At this moment, Wada was completely certain of Deep Impact's identity, muttering to himself, "Such an impact, such long-distance acceleration, is comparable to a shockwave-level impact!"

"It's as if they've taken flight! Deep Impact seems to have spread its wings! This scene is simply—"

"This is simply another shocking reunion!" x2

At this moment, Wada's voice and Akasaka Mitsuko's exclamation overlapped, and everyone's memories were reawakened by this name. They suddenly remembered a legendary racehorse girl who had faded from view but still brought shock to countless people.

As Wada and Akasaka Mitsuko's voices faded, Dai Shock's body completely overtook the famous general Nutō, crossing the finish line first with unstoppable momentum and unparalleled strength!

"Crossing the finish line! A deep shock! The twelfth most popular player to achieve a deep shock! A huge upset! She surpassed the renowned champion Nutao, defeating the 'beast on the field' Nutao in a fair and square manner!"

However, just as Misatoshi Akasaka's voice fell and before the audience could react, a blinding red light suddenly flashed across the racetrack, interrupting everyone's actions and even their breathing.

The red light symbolizes dissent, meaning that the racecourse is questioning the result of the race, and that there were fouls or unfairness in the competition. Soon after, a staff member handed a list to Misa Akasaka on the stage. Akasaka took it somewhat blankly, but adhering to her professional ethics, she still read out the list and the words on it.

"The referee team has just conducted an assessment. It has been determined that Deep Impact's identity is false and that he is suspected of concealing his identity while participating in the race. Therefore, Deep Impact's ranking in this race has been cancelled, and the second-place racer, Uma Musume, will be the winner of this Osaka Cup."

A false identity? The moment this statement was uttered, the entire audience was shaken. They began to realize who this racehorse girl named "Deep Impact" really was.

"Deep Impact..."

On the racetrack, the famous general Nu Tao and the other female racehorses stared at her with slightly unfocused eyes. However, they only saw her smile slightly, lower her hood, and reveal that much of her thick makeup had been wiped away by the sweat on her face.

Even her false eyelashes had long since flown away, making her look a little comical. However, the gentle smile that had returned to her face was still quite beautiful.

"Yes, Master, my name isn't Deep Impact. I'm sorry, I lied to you. As you can see, you're number one now."

"That last race was truly exhilarating! Your sprint was incredibly powerful. To be honest, among the strongest female racehorses I faced at the time, your sprint was among the best."

"—But you didn't beat me, Master, you only won the match."

However, as the words of the great shock slowly faded, Nu Tao felt a slight sting in her heart. Of course, she knew what the other person meant. Although she was nominally the first place winner of the Osaka Cup, that was because "Deep Impact" was a pseudonym, and it did not mean that she had just defeated her opponent.

In this match, apart from the pseudonym of Da Zhenhan, everything was aboveboard. There was no encirclement or obstruction. Da Zhenhan didn't even use his "aura," but only his "domain."

Even so, Great Shock was fair and square in the final sprint, defeating Fury's proud last kick. There was no foul play in this match; Fury's strength was truly inferior to his opponent's.

This is the biggest blow to Nu Tao in this match. Although she won the game, she did not defeat her opponent.

If the name "Deep Impact" hadn't been a hoax, Raging Waves would have truly lost.

"Who...who are you?" Nu Tao asked, somewhat unwillingly. "I want to know your name. I...I will definitely win next time."

"Very determined, that's good." Great Shock smiled slightly, turned and left, saying casually as he brushed past Raging Waves:

"As for me... you can call me Great Shock."

"It will be very interesting to play against you, Master Futao. I am looking forward to the showdown between you and your team's strongest player, 'Overlord,' and another kid I have high hopes for, once they have grown up."

If you're already that strong, then the other kids must be even more interesting, right? This match was incredibly exhilarating for Da Zhenhan. After being away from the arena for so long, her first match back made her so excited. It has to be said, Da Zhenhan really feels like she was born too early.

If she could face off against the strongest female racehorses born in this era, she would be truly satisfied, rather than having to use an alias and this method to compete against them.

At this moment, this "hero" couldn't help but clench her fist in excitement. She felt deeply moved, realizing that this match was something she would cherish for a very long time…

As for ranking rewards and such... those are for those who want them; she doesn't need them.

Chapter 249: Wada notices Nase Fumino's unusual behavior.

"Miss Shock! Please answer our questions!"

"Miss Shock! Your sudden return to the competition after so many years, is it a compromise from the broadcasting station?"

"Miss Shock, could you please tell me about the scandal surrounding the Arc de Triomphe back then..."

With the conclusion of the Osaka Cup, everyone learned that the horse called "Deep Impact" was actually the undefeated Triple Crown winner, returning to the track after many years – a truly shocking revelation. This legendary figure, once hailed by broadcasters as "the pinnacle of Japanese horse racing," immediately attracted a large number of reporters.

These reporters initially only wanted to prepare a good interview with the famous swimmer Nu Tao after his victory, so they could hear his thoughts on the win. Of course, to be even bolder, they also hoped to see Nu Tao perform poorly and lose, so they could interview him about his feelings about the defeat, which would be much more interesting than the previous interview.

However, no one expected that the sudden "great shock" would actually give everyone present a huge surprise in a way that was completely consistent with her name. For a moment, the entire racecourse, whether it was reporters or spectators, was surrounded by a series of "surrounds" of the great shock after she had just removed her makeup.

This time, surprisingly, she didn't avoid the topic, but she also didn't answer anything. She simply walked forward silently, letting the security personnel clear a path for her, and then quickly headed to the lounge.

"Click." Da Zhenhuan slowly closed the door, but at this moment, the figure of Naise Fumino in the lounge made Da Zhenhuan slightly startled.

"...Long time no see, what a shock."

"Oh my, isn't this Trainer Naze?" The initial shock was fleeting, quickly replaced by a gentle smile as she said, "I didn't expect to see you here. It's been several years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Things have changed a lot in the past few years. Trainer Naze seems much happier than before? Do you have someone you like?"

"...That's not what I'm here to talk about."

However, Naze Fumino's slight silence startled Dai Shock, who had jokingly said those words. Dai Shock instinctively covered his mouth and said, "Sigh... Is that true... Trainer Naze, you really found someone you like?"

"Who is that? Male or female racehorse? Is he handsome? Could it be that Wada trainer from your team...?"

"—This is a huge shock. Your entry like this will have a significant impact on your future. The situation at the entertainment venue is already chaotic enough. Are you trying to further provoke them by adding fuel to the fire?"

However, Fumino Naze abruptly and forcefully changed the subject, approaching Da Zhenhan and asking calmly, "The last thing the company wants is for you to appear, which could potentially expose the Arc de Triomphe incident from back then."

"It would be even better if they could let me quit the company, so I could speak openly." But Daishin was very natural in front of Naze Fumino, and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, that's impossible, but I'm not kidding."

"Anonymous participation, disqualification, six-month ban—is this some kind of absurdity?" Naze Fumino sighed upon hearing this, "Seriously... have all the trainers at the club only taught you how to run?"

"Hmm, if you, Nase, had continued to be my trainer back then, perhaps the outcome would have been different."

However, Da Zhenzhen smiled and said this to Naze Fumino, but Naze Fumino remained silent. Clearly, this was something neither of them wanted to talk about.

Few people know that Daiken was once Naze Fumino's racehorse girl at the shodai (training center). Later, Daiken was assigned to train with other trainers. However, as Daiken's first trainer, Naze Fumino still has a deep affection for her former trainer.

Even the one who taught Daiken the meaning of running was Naze Fumino, but it was because of Daiken's eventual separation from her that Fumino never participated in anything related to horse racing training again until she joined the team.

"I don't mean to blame you, trainer. It's just... I just want to say that I've always remembered what you told me about the meaning of running."

"To challenge stronger racehorses and become the true pinnacle of Japanese racehorse trainers, I am still striving to do so."

Greatly shocked, he bowed slightly to Naze Fumino. In the end, Naze Fumino simply sighed deeply, and as she walked out of the lounge, she said softly:

“Then let’s continue, Great Shock… But this time, I can’t stand with you.”

"It's alright. I'm happy to be able to race against the racehorses trained by you, trainer." Daijin said with a gentle smile, clearly genuinely pleased with Naze Fumino's decision to leave the club.

"They weren't trained by me... but never mind."

Nagase Fumino shook her head, and before leaving, she said one last thing to the shocked man:

"I understand you want to enjoy the thrill of challenges and excitement, but be careful not to think that no one can threaten your position."

"Nu Tao may be a very strong female racer in our team, but she is definitely not the strongest one. Judging the new generation with old eyes will lead to a big loss."

……

Fumino Naze left the shocking dressing room, but her mood wasn't very high. It wasn't just because her former role as a racehorse girl had been suspended for six months for this blunder—compared to the many years she had been sidelined by the company, a six-month suspension was nothing.

Naze Fumino knew very well that this was just a warm-up for her return, a grand spectacle. A sudden return would likely be blocked by the company, but returning in this way would not only give everyone a surprise but also prove that her skills had not declined.

After all, although the results were invalid, everyone knew that the Great Shock had returned, and its strength was no less than that of the past.

However, it just so happens that the racehorse that served as the stepping stone for the Great Shock was the famous champion, Nutao. This was the most dishonest thing the Great Shock did, so she "compensated" Nutao with a GI championship spot in this way, while she herself was suspended for half a year.

She's just here to re-announce her return, not to aim for first place, championship, or GI. Those things mean nothing to a big company like Da Sha.

"Trainer Naze."

At that moment, Wada's voice from ahead made Naze Fumino immediately look up and subconsciously smile as she asked, "Trainer Wada... how is Ryutō doing?"

"You know, although she nominally won first place, she lost to The Great Shock and was very depressed. Good Opera is comforting her now."

After finding Fumino Naze, Wada walked alongside her and couldn't help but ask, "You seem to know Daikoku? You were the first to recognize her back then."

"...I'm sorry, Coach Wada, I never mentioned this, because I thought that Da Shenhuang would never compete again."

When this was mentioned, Fumino Naze said with some guilt, "Daishen was my designated horse girl... Although it was only for a short year, I taught her many of her skills back then."

"That was several years ago. I had just joined the company and the first racehorse I took on was Big Shock. Because of the company's planning, Big Shock and I only worked together for a year. After that, I never took on any other racehorse girls."

"I see..." Wada nodded in understanding, while Naze Fumino, still feeling a bit puzzled, asked:

"You don't seem surprised?"
