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

"I am your trainer. You can rely on me no matter what. I will do my best to help you in any way I can."

"And the only thing I might not be able to help you with is that I may not have the ability to personally lift you onto the throne that belongs to you. You may have to walk the rest of the road by yourself, and I can only watch from the sidelines."

"I'm just a mediocre trainer, I'm really sorry... Great opera."

“You idiot Ryuji… I don’t want any genius trainer.” Good Opera also gently tugged at Wada’s sleeve and said softly, “This overlord will walk to the throne by himself, but… even an overlord can’t sit on the throne forever without moving.”

“She gets tired, and she longs for someone to rely on… Ryuji.”

"Now, let me lean on it for a while, I'm a little tired."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wada smiled and let the opera lean against him to rest for a while. He knew that the opera was exhausted and needed a good rest.

Before closing her eyes and letting fatigue consume her consciousness, Good Opera still couldn't tell Wada about the hidden danger she felt in her legs—mainly because she didn't feel any pain at the moment. Although her feet were numb at first, that feeling had disappeared now.

Not telling him... should be fine, right? We can go to the infirmary at Treson Academy for a quick check-up, and if that doesn't work, we can ask Senior Jinlang to do a bone-setting to check her condition. This whole process should be foolproof, right?

This thought reassured Good Opera a little, so she quickly put the matter out of her mind and fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, Wada gently stroked Hao Geju's hair, unaware that on the other side of his seat, Nutao, who seemed to have been asleep, was now waking up in a daze.

Her pupils flickered slightly a few times, but did not return to the original color of the raging waves. However, she still took a break, as if waiting for something.

……

Some time later, at Treson Academy, it was nearly dusk. In the now empty team room, Nu Tao and He Tian returned together. He Tian said to Nu Tao:

"Nu Tao, thank you for helping me carry Hao Geju back to the dormitory. Although Hao Geju is very light, it was still a bit difficult for me to carry her back by myself."

“It’s alright, trainer. I did it because I liked it.” Nu Tao’s reply was as gentle as ever. He followed behind He Tian and said softly, “Good opera student must be tired. It’s what I should do.”

"How thoughtful of you, Nutao." Wada smiled as he entered his room, opened the door, and returned to his cozy little house. He stretched wearily, leaning against Nutao, and said:

"Well then, Nutao, I also want to get some rest. You should go back too. There's no training for the rest of the day, so let's all get a good night's sleep..."

"Click".

However, at that moment, the sudden sound of the door closing made Wada feel a little uneasy. As he turned around, he found that Nutao had not left the room. Instead, he was inside the room, leaning against the door as if someone was about to break in.

"Raging Waves?" It was only belated that Hetian realized something was off about Raging Waves, and he couldn't help but call out softly.

"Click." However, Nu Tao seemed not to hear He Tian's voice. With a slight movement of his hand, accompanied by a crisp sound, the door was completely locked from the inside.

“Trainer…you seem completely oblivious.”

"Your eyes are completely on the opera girl, haven't you forgotten... that I was the first to join the team, and the first Uma Musume you said you would wholeheartedly support?"

"Without me... you would never have been able to be with your good opera classmates, but now it seems you've forgotten about that."

"...Raging Waves?" However, when Wada was slightly taken aback, he suddenly noticed that the color of Raging Waves' eyes had changed drastically. Having experienced something similar with Good Opera before, he quickly realized who the "famous general Raging Waves" in front of him was.

"No, you're not, you are..."

"Quick reflexes, trainer. No, perhaps I should call you... Ryuji Wada?"

"Should I say it's been a long time, or is it the first time we've met? But this is also the first time I've met you in this way, just like with good opera."

At this moment, "General Fury" was clearly in the same situation as "Good Opera". She had become rational enough and completely human. Although her personality was very different from that of the real General Fury, she retained more of her wild side, but she had transformed from a "beast" into a "human" and was a completely communicable being.

"That's really...unexpected." Wada waved his hand with a wry smile. Looking at the "Famous General Fury Waves" in front of him, he couldn't help but recall his past actions, and for a moment he felt that his life was not safe at all.

"Um, you didn't come here just to beat me up, did you? Even if I could understand why you did that, Nu Tao would probably be very sad when she wakes up, right?"

"Don't worry, I don't intend to beat you up because of what happened in the past." "Raging Waves" smiled slightly and said, "Or rather, I should thank you. If you hadn't helped 'me' fulfill my long-cherished wish, I wouldn't be here. I had already awakened when you helped 'me' get the second GI."

"However, I'm not here to catch up with you or simply say hello. I'm here to help 'me' do some things that she dares not do."

As she spoke with a smile, "Raging Waves" moved closer to Hotan step by step, her hand slowly moving to the buttons of her collar, deliberately unbuttoning two of them.

At this moment, Wada finally realized that he was in real trouble.

Chapter 276: Raging Waves: Amazing! Great opera! I'm the victor! (Strategist)

"Wait, Nutao, calm down."

Seemingly realizing something, Wada almost instinctively stepped back. It seemed that the lessons learned from the "Good Opera" had made Wada realize that, as former "beasts," even though they now possessed human reason, they still retained a wild side. And the wildness of animals is actually very easy to understand; it's instinct. And what other instincts do animals have besides the will to survive and the appetite? It's obvious.

All I can say is that "Good Opera" has already restrained herself very well. After all, even when she is an animal, she is a very obedient child. But "Raging Waves"... I can only say that she is a very well-behaved type compared to other wild horses. She will not throw a tantrum for no reason, nor will she suddenly become very aggressive. Overall, she is in a state of being not very approachable, but authoritative without being angry.

If I had to describe it, it's like the demeanor of a mafia boss in the horse racing world, but surprisingly not the type to bully the weak. However, it is definitely much wilder than the kind-hearted Good Opera.

For example, like this now... Wada watched as the "raging waves" aggressively approached him, and kept retreating, but the "raging waves" grabbed his hands.

The next moment, He Tian felt a force that he couldn't resist suddenly strike him, and he was thrown backward uncontrollably. Accompanied by a hazy pain, he knew that he had been pressed to the ground by "Raging Waves".

"Don't move, my trainer. I didn't come here just to see you injured. I have my own plans."

However, "Raging Waves" revealed a look of "greed" that Wada had never seen on Raging Waves' face before. Yet, faced with this situation, Wada's rich experience in negotiation allowed him to remain calm and extremely restrained, saying:

"Raging Waves... This isn't what the real Raging Waves would want to see. Don't you even consider how your other self feels?"

"And why me? I clearly helped you suffer a lot on the field, along with Good Opera, didn't I? Why are you doing this now..."

"This... shouldn't be Nu Tao's own idea, right? Nu Tao is a good kid. Don't tell me you are some kind of being derived from another side of Nu Tao. That would be too incredible."

"Hmph, it seems you have absolutely no self-awareness, trainer."

However, "Raging Waves" chuckled softly upon hearing this, her body almost pressed against Hetian's. To be honest, the usually pure and innocent Raging Waves suddenly making such an expression with such a face was truly a devastating blow to a normal man like Hetian.

Especially since her current figure isn't flat like McQueen's, nor does it have that undeveloped look like Emperor's; it's a truly devilishly voluptuous figure, and not the kind that's all muscle. It's as soft as a beanbag chair, the kind where if you lie down on it, your willpower will completely dissipate.

Moreover, "Raging Waves" is clearly aware of its advantages and is intentionally or unintentionally provoking Wada's nerves. She's a little devil-level racehorse girl.

"Although I am indeed much braver than my other self, I learned this idea from my other self. We share the same memories."

"And that's why I understood what she was thinking deep down, trainer, and I chose to accept her thoughts."

"Trainer, Ryuji Wada, you couldn't have been unaware, could you? The other me, you couldn't have been completely oblivious to the feelings I have for you, the kind of feelings that make me unable to extricate myself from my feelings, could you?"

"..." However, He Tian did not answer the question. He could certainly sense Nu Tao's affection for him, but at that time he had already determined his own feelings.

He couldn't just turn around and casually flirt with Nu Tao after having a tacit understanding with Good Opera. Besides, the reason he and Good Opera kept their relationship a secret was that he knew that if their relationship were made public, it would be a huge blow to Nu Tao. Nu Tao was currently in the rising phase of his career as a horse racer, and he absolutely couldn't let such a thing affect him.

At least, we should wait until Nuotao has really retired before we can properly explain this matter to him. Good Opera also believes that she should not let love affect her career. After all, the duty of a racehorse girl is to run, not to run a horse farm.

Even so, after realizing the feelings between Nutao and Naze Fumino, Wada quickly distanced himself from them. Aside from her daily lessons, Fumino has had almost no contact with Wada lately… and Nutao…

After all, she was his designated racehorse girl, so how could Wada possibly neglect Nutao? One could only say that her performance was slightly more natural, but not to the point of being excessive.

This meant that Nu Tao didn't notice anything amiss, or perhaps... she had already sensed the subtle change in He Tian's attitude towards her, but having already accepted her place, she hadn't brought it up herself.

The raging waves are reserved, like a child who keeps their emotions bottled up inside. But "Raging Waves" is not like that.

"Raging Waves," who shared the same memories with Raging Waves, witnessed every moment of Wada's interactions with her, from initially challenging her to perform a good opera, to her later victory, the experience of being neglected, and their subsequent mutual honesty, to her rise and explosion in the Autumn Emperor's Sho, all the way to the present.

Nutao had to admit that she understood very well why her other self had fallen for the burden of her former "arch-enemy," even if he did have ulterior motives at first. He didn't hide his intentions, and he didn't give up on them later. In this respect, Nutao also liked Hetian.

What's more, Hetian also allowed her to fulfill a "long-cherished wish" that she hadn't been able to complete in her previous life. However, Nutao didn't really care about whether it was GI or not. But without this condition, she might not have been able to appear here in human form. She would probably still be eating grass in the stable.

"Of course, I still have a grudge against Good Opera." "Raging Waves" also made no attempt to hide her aversion to Good Opera. When she was still a horse, she couldn't associate the name "Good Opera" with herself, but now that she had the intelligence of a normal human, she immediately understood that the guy who made everyone in the stable sigh whenever he mentioned him was Good Opera.

Naturally, "Nu Tao" also grew to dislike good operas, and she certainly has her own plans regarding the "burden" that good operas once carried.

"Tell me, what kind of expression would a good opera singer have if she found out that her trainer had already been 'satisfied' by her nemesis? I think it would be quite interesting, wouldn't it? If she were still a horse, she would probably be jumping around in the stable in a fit of rage, right?"

“Wait, Nutao…” Wada’s pupils widened slightly. He realized that Nutao was serious, and that she was actually capable of doing such a thing.

He tried to resist, but the difference between human strength and racehorse girls was too great, especially since Raging Waves was a racehorse girl known for her strength. This pressure was like a mountain pressing down on Wada, making him unable to move.

"Don't waste your energy, trainer. With the power of a racehorse girl, I can let you touch wherever I want, and you can't do anything about it."

"Come on, you can try this out... My body is surprisingly in line with your aesthetic standards, and it's much bigger than that Good Opera guy, isn't it?"

"Raging Waves" grabbed Hetian's hand and placed it directly on its chest. When Hetian felt that the soft touch was real, "Raging Waves'" expression suddenly became strange.

"Tch—your other self, I'm actually trying to help you, don't be so resistant—"

"No way! Get out of my body!"

However, after a moment of resistance from "Raging Waves," her pupils suddenly returned to their original color, and her expression changed from initial resistance to extreme panic. Clearly, Raging Waves had regained control of her body and had beaten her other self half to death.

"Ha ha……"

Raging Waves was panting heavily. Clearly, wresting control back from his other self was no easy task. "Raging Waves" was obviously much more domineering than "Good Opera." It took Raging Waves a lot of effort to finally regain his self.

When Nu Tao came to his senses, he realized that he was pinning He Tian down, his face flushed, panting heavily, and... He Tian was still gripping his chest.

"Trainer..."

Before he could react, Nu Tao was thrown into a panic. His eyes turned into mosquito coils, his ahoge stood up, and he collapsed onto He Tian as if he had no strength left.

This could be considered a rescue... Wada was pressed to the ground by Nutao's soft body, and for a moment he forgot to resist. Still shaken, he only felt tired and wanted to rest.

Chapter 277: I Want to Be Your Second Place Forever

Some time later, still in the team's room, He Tian, ​​who had now fully woken up, looked at the bulging quilt on his bed, with a single ahoge (cowlick) sticking out from it, and he knew exactly where Nu Tao was.

However, Nu Tao's reaction relieved He Tian, ​​who had regained his senses. It meant that Nu Tao was now the Nu Tao he knew, which greatly reduced the possibility of Nu Tao doing anything outrageous.

But now it seems... she obviously knows what "she" did, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't be in this situation.

"That, Angry Waves?"

He Tian tried calling out to Nutao, but Nutao, who was wrapped in a blanket, shuddered and mumbled:

"Angry, angry waves aren't here, I'm just a moving blanket... Waaah..."

"..."

This child… this is bad, she’s really too cute. At this moment, Wada had to admit that he was actually a little moved. If it weren’t for the great opera, he might have really fallen for this shy but strong girl.

However, He Tian quickly suppressed his wandering thoughts. Seeing that Nu Tao didn't want to come out, he didn't force her to show herself. Instead, he sat down and whispered to Nu Tao:

"Thanks to you, Raging Waves, I was almost in danger just now. Thanks to you regaining your will, I was truly... spared."

"That, that's not me..."

However, He Tian's voice finally elicited a response from Nu Tao. Like a snail sensing the absence of threat, Nu Tao cautiously poked his head out of his shell and said:

"No, I should say, that was me, but not the me of this world... Waaah... I don't even know what I'm saying anymore..."

"But trainer... you seem to know? Why? How do you know about the existence of another me? And... it seems like Good Opera has already experienced this once before?"

However, curiosity ultimately triumphed over shyness. Having gained a great deal of memories from his other self, Nutao looked directly at Wada and cautiously asked, "Trainer... who... are you?"
