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

Great Shock has absolutely no "presence," a fact few people know. Although Great Shock is an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl like Rudolph, in reality, she has always relied on the solid basic skills she gained from the resources of the racing club, combined with the timing and other abilities she developed by training with multiple trainers, to achieve victory.

As for her "Domain," it is a manifestation of her talent. Her Domain lives up to the setting created for her by the broadcasting company as "the essence of Japanese racehorse girls." Even though almost all the top-tier racehorse girls have their own Domain, Dai Shock's Domain is the most special one. It seems that all obstacles can be defeated. The unstoppable amplification and breakthrough are so powerful that even Rudolf has to admit that he is helpless against Dai Shock.

Each racehorse girl's [Domain] is unique, but the feeling of the Great Shock is completely different. When her [Domain] is released, it is as if everyone else's [Domain] is invalidated, and only she can receive the boost.

It was thanks to this [domain] that Daishin was able to maintain her [aura] even though she was slow to awaken it. In addition, since only a small number of racehorse girls can awaken their [aura], she was able to keep winning race after race.

To put it simply, Great Shock and Rudolf Symbol are actually the same type of racehorse girl. They both rely on their powerful [Domain] to win round after round. However, the difference is that Rudolf Symbol is a racehorse girl who crushes the entire field, making everyone race against her under high pressure; while Great Shock is the type that invalidates the buffs of everyone else and only buffs herself.

However, unlike others, Rudolf is known for her "momentum." In her previous match against Arima Kinen of Good Opera, she maintained her momentum throughout, clashing with Good Opera right from the start and gaining a significant advantage.

But such things wouldn't be discovered in Da Zhenhan's presence. Why? Because she simply wouldn't.

Awakening [Aura], like awakening [Domain], requires a trigger. While the difficulty of awakening these two abilities is comparable, they are not the same at all.

Awakening a [Domain] requires talent and determination, but what does awakening a [Momentum] require? Nobody knows. It's a purely idealistic question. Many top-tier racehorse girls can master it quickly, while some racehorse girls may spend their entire lives without ever awakening this ability.

The biggest shock was one of them, so after the match ended, she waited here, hoping that the backbone of the "Miracle" team, who she believed was the most knowledgeable about how to train racehorse girls, could give her some guidance.

"Miss Shock, you don't seem to be a member of our team, do you? I really admire your thirst for knowledge for coming here so frankly to offer your guidance."

"Hehe, that's one of my advantages, you know? I'll ask anyone who asks me if I don't know something."

Da Zhenhan smiled and nodded, still waiting for Jin Lang's answer. However, Jin Lang looked at Da Zhenhan and said something that disappointed her.

"Then you might be disappointed, Miss Shock. It's not that I'm keeping secrets, but I don't know how to cultivate the 'Aura' in the racehorses. Even though it seems like all the girls in our team know this move, we, as trainers, don't actually know how to cultivate this ability in them."

"No way... Even you guys didn't know?"

Greatly shocked and disappointed, his horse ears drooped slightly, but he still asked unwillingly, "Then, at least tell me how you usually train? I think that would be very helpful."

"I'm sorry, but our training methods are nothing special, and everyone can attest to that."

Jinlang shook his head, looking at the stunning woman in front of him, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Stunning Woman, you must be a racehorse girl from the racing station, right? Don't you have any experts who specialize in this area?"

"What do they know about Uma Musume's stuff? It's a complete waste of their time!"

Mentioning this, Da Zhen was quite discouraged. She had been stuck at this level for a very long time. Ever since she was sidelined, she had been searching for the answer to break through her limits. And it seemed that she found the answer after she started paying attention to a new triple crown female horse.

That person was Good Opera. After Good Opera raced on the field and clashed with Rudol, who symbolized [momentum] and [domain], she began to pay attention to this rising star team from Treson Academy.

The team had only been established for a year, yet it had already won a classic triple crown, and the next year it had the potential to win a triple crown as well. Therefore, Da Zhenhan concealed his identity and came to compete against Nutao, the mainstay of the "Miracle" team, and also to watch the friendly match of the Golden Master who was aiming for a triple crown the following year.

Both results satisfied Da Zhenhan. Although Nu Tao was no match for her, she still put considerable pressure on Da Zhenhan with her [aura]. As for the Golden Master... although she is not as strong as Nu Tao yet, her potential has already made Da Zhenhan feel threatened, and he has even identified her as the strongest opponent he might face in the future.

The reason Da Zhenhan came to watch this competition was because of the Golden Journey, not because he was interested in the Golden Ship. But this time, Da Zhenhan was genuinely shocked by the performance of the Golden Ship.

So much so that she directly stopped Jinlang, wanting to ask about the methods of training [aura], because she felt that Jinlang, as a trainer of the Golden Ship, must know the secret.

Now, Lang also found it strange and asked with a strange amusement, "Why does Miss Great Shock think I'm the one who understands this? I'm just an ordinary trainer. I'm sure I don't know the answer to this question that even the resources of the community can't answer, right?"

"Impossible! If you don't understand at all, how could there be a racehorse girl with such a high compatibility as Golden Ship?"

Upon hearing this, Da Zhenhan immediately shook his head and said something that even Jin Lang found unbelievable: "I watched the race. Although the Golden Ship's [momentum] was only released for a short while at the finish line, I could feel that if [momentum] has a degree of compatibility, then the Golden Ship's compatibility just now was definitely higher than that of the Raging Waves, which I raced against!"

"—No, it's not just Raging Waves, even the good opera singer and the trainer from Hotaru, their compatibility isn't necessarily as high as Golden Ship's. How could someone with such near-perfect compatibility not have any insights? I don't believe it!"

"...Compatibility?" Jinlang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and a rare look of confusion appeared on his face. However, he quickly recalled Wada's performance at the Arima Memorial and seemed to understand Daisho's words.

But... why does Da Shenhan say that the compatibility of the Golden Ship is comparable to that of Good Opera? Good Opera has now completely mastered its own [momentum], and its synergy with Wada is almost perfect, but why does the Golden Ship have this level of compatibility?

Could it be that the Golden Ship has subtly and imperceptibly reached this level? Or perhaps...

For a moment, many guesses popped into Jin Lang's mind, and just then, accompanied by a cry of surprise, the voice of the golden ship not far away suddenly came over.

"Grandpa! Over here! Over here! Who are you chatting with?"

"...It seems I must take my leave now. I hope you can give me an answer next time."

Great Shock saw the Golden Ship approaching Jinlang and subtly chose to take her leave. She realized that Jinlang, as a trainer, seemed to have limited understanding of the Golden Ship, and that waiting any longer would be fruitless.

The shock quickly subsided, and the golden ship immediately came forward and hugged Jin Lang tightly, saying in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa, who were you chatting with just now? It didn't look like the eldest sister."

"It's nothing, just a passing racehorse girl."

As Jin Lang answered, he also scrutinized the Golden Ship with a subtle look. However, no matter how he looked at it, he felt as if he had returned to the past. Whether the Golden Ship had a human face or a horse face, he did not know what the other party wanted to express.

Perhaps from beginning to end... it was the Golden Ship that saw through him, not the other way around.

"I still really don't understand you, Golden Ship."

"Hehe, Grandpa understands me best, no need to be modest."

However, Golden Ship smiled and took Jin Lang's arm. Her smile remained unchanged. It was hard to tell whether this was her natural personality or... she had already completely mastered "another self".

But no matter what, the result remains the same: the golden ship is still the same golden ship. No one can fathom her, but perhaps she sees through everyone.

Chapter 264: The Golden Ship: Grandfather, don't think I didn't see it.

Some time after the competition ended, that evening, Megumi McQueen and the Emperor's group arrived in Chiba and found Ima Naruto and his group. Upon meeting, Megumi McQueen bowed very solemnly to Ima Naruto and said:

"I'm so sorry—trainer, I made you worry."

"As a racehorse girl from the Mejiro family, it's a disgrace that I almost lost my confidence because of a single race loss... Please, trainer, give me another chance so I can redeem myself in the future races!"

McQueen sincerely apologized to Jin Lang, and soon, Jin Lang slowly helped her up. Seeing McQueen now recovered, Jin Lang said with a relieved expression:

"It's good that you've picked yourself up, McQueen. This shows that the Golden Ship's huge sacrifice, their decision to step onto the track early for you, wasn't entirely in vain."

"I am so ashamed... You had planned it all out, Trainer, so that Golden Ship would be the last to debut in our team, but because of me... I have completely messed up your plan."

"—At this time, the debut of the Golden Ship may not be the best time, but that does not mean that the Golden Ship is really useless."

Now, Lang and the golden ship beside him exchanged a glance, and Lang smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, Golden Ship won't be a classic year until next year. This year, I plan to let her run a few races to get familiar with the environment. Next year, when Golden Ship and Emperor Ship both become classic years, we'll be able to dominate the whole year, just like Wada-kun and Ikezoe-kun."

"Yay! Dominating for a whole year! That sounds so cool!" The Golden Ship cheered excitedly, raising its hand. Then, looking at the East Sea Emperor beside McQueen, it smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, you'd better watch out! I, Lord Golden Ship, am quite formidable, you know. If you don't give it your all, your dream of an undefeated three-crown reign might just become mine!"

"No way! Even if the opponent is the Golden Ship, I will never lose!" The East Sea Emperor raised her little fist indignantly. However, in reality, she already regarded the Golden Ship as her great enemy.

Although the Golden Ship's outburst was brief and the East Sea Emperor didn't feel the shock as acutely, she knew that the Golden Ship's current level had undoubtedly surpassed hers. If she and the Golden Ship were to collide... her undefeated three-crown title would indeed be affected.

She can avoid being defeated and simply avoid playing in the same match as the Golden Ship, but she can't let go of the Triple Crown, yet she can't expect the Golden Ship to not participate in the Classic Triple Crown.

After watching the race, Tokai Teio, a pure skill-based racehorse, felt immense pressure from the combination of physical strength and skill, like the Golden Ship.

Meanwhile, the Emperor of the East Sea and the Golden Ship were locked in a fierce argument, neither willing to concede defeat. On the other side, Megumi McQueen tugged at Jinlang's shoulder and said to him:

"Trainer... I'm so sorry, I made such a big mistake at the Hanshin Awards, which resulted in my being demoted. Does this mean I'm not eligible to participate in the Spring Emperor's Prize?"

"So, should we aim for the Emperor's Prize in the fall of this year? If so, I will still do my best... Ouch."

"McQueen, I'm your trainer! You don't believe your trainer would go to such lengths to clear the way for your race?"

Jin Lang lightly tapped McQueen's head with his finger, and seeing the racehorse girl clutching her head in pain, he chuckled and said:

“I’ve already spoken with the president and the others. She just called me today and said that she’s secured a spot for us. However, your gate is on the outermost lane, and there’s no way to compromise on that.”

"McQueen, of course you can participate in the Spring Emperor's Slam, but only if you completely forget about this defeat at the Hanshin Grand Slam and get back into shape. I won't let you step onto the field with a heavy heart and a wound."

"I...I understand."

When McQueen heard that he still had a chance to participate in the Spring Emperor's Prize, his anxious heart finally relaxed completely, and a familiar smile reappeared on his pretty face.

However, McQueen quickly realized something and said with some concern, "Trainer... must have paid a heavy price, right? After all, my Hanshin Grand Prix ended so poorly, and I didn't have any outstanding achievements before. It must be very difficult to participate in the Spring Emperor's Prize, right?"

"It's nothing much. In order to persuade the trainers, we used up almost all the team funds that Wada-kun and Good Opera had previously acquired." When he mentioned this, Jinlang's face showed a bit of a wry smile as he said, "This money can be considered to have been used for the right purpose. Wada-kun, Ikezoe-kun, and I discussed it and they all agreed with the decision."

"But once you start spending it, it's really not going to last long; five million disappeared in no time..."

"No, it's alright, trainer. I can have the Meguro family pay for it... Ouch!"

Megumi McQueen's head was lightly tapped by Jin Lang again. McQueen, wincing in pain, looked at Jin Lang with a somewhat aggrieved expression. She felt that since waking up from her illness in the hospital, Jin Lang's attitude towards her seemed to be more severe than before.

No, rather than being strict, it was more like a timely correction of a child's erroneous remarks that I didn't trust. This time, McQueen's illness has indeed changed Jinlang's opinion of McQueen in many ways.

Jinlang had always thought that McQueen was a fairly mature racehorse girl, at least capable of taking care of herself independently. However, the blow of the Hanshin Grand Prix made Jinlang realize that McQueen was just a child pretending to be mature. He would feel resentful when he lost, and would doubt himself when he suffered a severe blow. He was not firm enough in his heart.

Therefore, Jin Lang quickly changed his teaching methods, treating McQueen and Emperor equally. Perhaps now he understands that the most reliable and mature member of the team is actually Golden Ship.

"I don't want to take money from Madam Meguro, especially since I haven't trained you McQueen to achieve any results yet. I'm a normal man, and I have my pride."

"So, McQueen, consider this money as part of your future bounty. Let your performance speak for itself. I'm really looking forward to seeing a top-class female racehorse who wins the Spring and Autumn Imperial Prizes for two consecutive years. Even if it's a 4GI, she'll definitely be worthy of being called the true 'Queen' of middle and long distance races, right?"

Here, Jinlang made a little joke using the pronunciation of McQueen's name. "McQueen" sounds like "My Queen," which made McQueen pause for a moment and then blush slightly.

"...Thank you, trainer."

After thanking her quietly, McQueen turned her gaze to the golden ship and the Emperor of the East Sea. Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing, she quickly made a rather bold move.

All Jin Lang saw was McQueen take a step forward, and a fragrant breeze wafted over. Before he could even react, he felt McQueen's unexpectedly soft body quickly touch him, and then they quickly separated.

"This, this is just a way of expressing gratitude... I've seen Nutao and the others often do this with Trainer Wada to show their thanks. It's something a racehorse girl from the Mejiro family should do."

McQueen quickly hugged Jin Lang and then separated, his cheeks flushed red, making him look exceptionally cute. His tail swayed incessantly in the air, and he appeared extremely restless, both outwardly and inwardly.

Although Jin Lang was also hugged by McQueen, she didn't think much of it. In her eyes, McQueen was just a child, and hugging an adult like herself was just a normal, slightly intimate exchange.

Faced with the restless McQueen, Jin Lang reached out and patted her head, saying softly, "Let's go back, McQueen."

“…Hmm.” However, seeing that Jin Lang was completely unmoved, the shy McQueen felt inexplicably down again. In the end, he nodded sullenly to confirm.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the golden ship, which had been arguing with the Emperor of the East Sea, subtly withdrew its gaze and continued its banter. No one noticed the slight change in the color of the golden ship's pupils at that moment...

Chapter 265: The Golden Master Who Guided Rice Bathing's Progress

The "Miracle" team returned to the academy only after the rest of the Tresen Academy team had returned. Golden Ship's debut had thrown everyone at Tresen Academy into a frenzy of celebration. When they returned, they discovered that the Tresen Academy's racehorse girls were holding events to celebrate Golden Ship's debut, with banners even up, as if they were celebrating some special holiday.

However, in reality, this was already a special day for the racehorse girls of Treson Academy who had been tormented by the Golden Ship's pranks or had once gone to great lengths to clean up the mess left by the Golden Ship.

It wasn't easy! That big devil finally went to the competition! Especially the group of disciplinary committee members from Treson Academy, led by Sakura Jin-oh, they actually burst into tears when they saw the Golden Ship step onto the field. It wasn't out of emotion, but because they were finally saved.

The Golden Ship was a formidable threat to the disciplinary committee members of Treson Academy. Although the disciplinary committee had a large number of members, they were all rather simple-minded. Led by the disciplinary committee leader, Sakura Susumu, they launched several "sieges" of the Golden Ship, but all of them ended in failure.

She was either too fast or too slow to beat the Golden Ship. Even when several racehorse girls surrounded her, by the time Sakura and the others arrived, she had already been completely outmaneuvered by the Golden Ship.

Therefore, for the disciplinary committee members, the Golden Ship was a nightmare. Their pitiful authority was completely rendered ineffective by the Golden Ship's repeated actions, even though the consequences were nothing more than small pranks. But it made everyone at Treson Academy realize that "the disciplinary committee members cannot be expected to catch the Golden Ship."

Now that the Golden Ship is finally running races, it will definitely focus most of its energy on the races and training. So, in other words, they are finally free, right?

Therefore, on this day, the disciplinary committee members took the lead in holding a celebration ceremony and designated this day as "Farewell to the Golden Ship Day," intending to commemorate this day, which represents their liberation, every year—although this proposal was not actually approved.
