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

"emperor……"

However, McQueen had also noticed the Emperor of the East Sea, whom he considered a rival. McQueen's gaze, however, kept drifting towards the honey in the Emperor's hand, occasionally swallowing hard, as if he longed to take a sip.

To lose weight, she hadn't touched any sweets for a long time. Jin Lang's menu for McQueen was very well-designed, the only drawback being that it couldn't satisfy McQueen's cravings for sweets... After all, even Jin Lang, before his transmigration, didn't know that horses could eat cake.

So carrots and bananas became the only foods that McQueen could eat as "sweets." Although McQueen didn't particularly like honey, especially the royal honey which was too sweet and cloying, after "fasting" for several days, he was starting to wonder what the royal honey drink tasted like.

Thinking this, McQueen unconsciously looked up at the Emperor of the East Sea, only to meet the emperor's wicked smile as he drank honey. McQueen's cheeks flushed red, and he grabbed Jin Lang's sleeve beside him.

Your Majesty! This guy definitely drank in front of me on purpose!

"The Emperor of the East Sea... He's actually the Emperor of the East Sea."

Meanwhile, Wada was also taken aback by Rudol's description. He repeatedly compared the East Sea Emperor and Rudol several times before nodding to himself and muttering, "Indeed, they look very similar..."

"?" Lu Duo heard what He Tian said, but he didn't understand it. However, he didn't ask any further questions.

After all, even she herself found it strange that the Emperor of the East Sea looked so much like her. If it weren't for their different surnames, they might really be mistaken for mother and daughter. She even had to come forward to deny the rumors.

But... it seems that the trainer from Wada was not surprised that they looked alike, but rather took it for granted?

Clearly, as a racehorse girl in this world, Rudol, unaware of the thoughts in the three trainers' minds, didn't understand the meaning behind Wada's words. However, Ikezoe and Imai both understood perfectly and nodded to themselves.

"The East Sea Emperor, seeing is believing." Jinlang nodded, expressing his appreciation for this racehorse girl who represents "miracles." He then turned to Lu Duo and asked, "I wonder what you intend to do with the East Sea Emperor, President? You don't mean to have one of us become the Emperor's trainer, do you?"

"—We don't have that idea yet." Rudo also smiled slightly and said in a tactful way, "The Emperor hasn't participated in the debut battle yet, so it's too early to find a dedicated trainer."

“I brought her to meet the three of you in the hope that you can share your thoughts on this child. I asked Trainer Ikezoe a similar question before, and now I would like to know your thoughts.”

"Finally, I have an idea that I hope to get your support."

At this point, Lu Duo's smile subsided slightly, and he released his imperial authority, speaking calmly to the increasingly solemn crowd:

"I'd like to hold a friendly match for the new students at Treson Academy. I hope that the three of you, as your horse girls, can also participate. In addition, the Emperor will also participate in this friendly match."

"This friendly match can stimulate the training enthusiasm of the racehorse girls at Treson Academy, and it can also let the outside world know the overall strength of our new generation of racehorse girls. Therefore, I hope to get the support of the trainers at Treson Academy."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Rudol symbolizes what he wants to know about the emperor.

"A friendly match? Held at Treson Academy? Are there any spectators?"

However, Rudol's words startled all three trainers and the racehorse girls. Even the East Sea Emperor, who almost always stayed by the chairman's side, showed a bewildered yet excited expression. He even stopped drinking his honey drink and immediately jumped up and down, asking:

"President! You finally let me participate in the competition! Yay! The invincible emperor's first battle is about to begin!"

"Your Majesty, this is a friendly match, so it won't affect your dream of becoming an undefeated triple crown horse girl. Besides, there are no rankings, it's not even an OP race, it's just a friendly competition held within Treson Academy."

Rudolf symbolized that this was a pre-planned move, not a sudden whim. She took a stack of reports from the air tank and handed them to the three trainers, slowly saying:

"However, as the most watched horse racing girl training center in Japan, and also the officially designated central-level horse racing girl training center academy, the quality and popularity cultivation of the new generation of horse racing girls will inevitably attract a large number of reporters and fans. Everyone will want to know how strong and how well the new generation of horse racing girls perform."

"Instead of hiding it, we should openly show it off and let them enjoy it to their heart's content. I have absolute confidence in the quality of our racehorse girls from Treson Academy—of course, we also need to consider some other factors."

"Gentlemen, have you ever heard of the story of the 'catfish effect'?"

As Rudol spoke, without waiting for the three trainers to answer, he said to himself, "Putting a catfish into a school of small fish can disturb their peaceful living environment, thereby making them more determined to survive—and the three of you, who are the racehorse girls, are the ones I plan to choose as the 'catfish' this time."

"You are the absolute competition. With the addition of the three racehorse girls, I believe this friendly race will be very exciting. We might even see some good prospects that we haven't paid attention to before."

"Catfish, not cute at all, so ugly~" Zhenjiling was not very satisfied with Lu Duo's metaphor and muttered to herself with a bitter face.

"—But, Onii-chan, this seems really interesting! Let's go participate! Karen-chan, I'll definitely do my best to get Onii-chan's first win~"

"A friendly match... Can I really be the catfish...?" The renowned general, Nu Tao, was initially quite excited, but the thought of becoming the target of everyone's criticism extinguished her newly mustered courage. She nervously fiddled with her fingers and looked at Wada, asking:

"Trainer, can I...can I really go to the competition...?"

"Of course, Nutao, as long as you want to participate." Wada supported Nutao's idea as always, and said while rubbing her head, "Besides, you are not weak now. You do need a real combat training to cultivate your confidence and combat ability. As long as you perform steadily, first place is not a difficult thing."

"But, but, I haven't lost weight yet..." Nu Tao was clearly still flustered. He Tian's words calmed her down a little, and after a long while, she cautiously said:

"If, if the trainer says so... then, then I'll participate."

“As a racehorse girl from a prestigious family, I certainly can’t fall behind. Whether it’s a friendly race or an official race, I will win the championship.” Megumi McQueen also made her statement without hesitation. She didn’t ask for Ijin’s opinion because she knew that Ijin would agree.

In particular, the Emperor of the East Sea will also participate in this competition. Megumi McQueen, who considers the Emperor of the East Sea his number one rival, certainly wouldn't allow himself to fall below the Emperor.

However, Jin Lang, standing behind McQueen, remained silent. His eyes, however, lacked confidence; instead, they held a worried look, his gaze frequently drifting to McQueen's legs, as if he were recalling something…

"When does the friendly match start?" Jinlang finally decided to put aside his own thoughts and instead asked Lu Duo about the friendly match.

"It's next week, don't worry, Trainer Jinlang. My arrangements are flawless and will absolutely not affect Megumi McQueen's debut competition next month." Rudolf, believing Jinlang was worried about McQueen's lack of rest time, said with a smile:

"In addition, this friendly race is 2000 meters on turf. If the three of you need to adjust the tactics and strengthen the training of your assigned racehorses, you'd better hurry up."

"This friendly match might see the emergence of even more rising star female racehorses, so don't be careless, everyone."

Rudolf's suggestive words made the three trainers a little more serious. They all had great confidence in their racehorse girls, but they also knew that their competitors were far from being the other's racehorse girls.

Even just the East Sea Emperor, even if he hasn't even participated in the debut race, is enough for them to take seriously. What's more, they don't know how many more racehorse girls in this world will break the generational gap and appear earlier or later.

After all, it seems that many familiar racehorses from different eras have already collided in this friendly match. Who knows how many more racehorses that were once famous in their own world will emerge from this friendly race?

"Alright, now that the notification has been delivered, my work is done." Lu Duo, the symbol of power, immediately relaxed, his "emperor's" imposing aura vanishing completely. He gently turned to the gas tank and said:

"Qi Cao, how about you take the Empress and the others with you to training? As the Empress, you must have a lot of experience to share with the younger generation, right?"

"Do I have to do this job too..." Qi Cao was speechless for a moment upon hearing this. However, looking at the juniors around him whose eyes lit up at the thought of him giving them special treatment, Qi Cao touched his forehead and replied softly:

"Alright, juniors, come with me. I'll teach you some things to keep in mind on the field."

"Yay! It's Sister Qi Cao's private lesson!" The Emperor of the East Sea also raised his hands and cheered.

"Idiot, don't let anyone hear you!"

And so, Qi Cao led the group of younger racehorse girls away from the scene. Only after Qi Cao and the East Sea Emperor's group had all left did Ru Duo's smile vanish, and he turned to the three trainers, saying:

"Alright, the three of you, now that the Emperor and everyone else have left, I won't hide my thoughts anymore."

As he spoke, Rudol turned his gaze to Ikezoe beside him and asked with a hint of unease and anxiety, "Trainer Ikezoe, what exactly was the second half of what you said to the Emperor when you were in the student council?"

"And... Trainer Wada, and Trainer Ima, what are your opinions on the Empress? Do you think she's a true genius, or a flawed gem?"

"This……"

However, Rudo's words left the three trainers speechless. They looked at each other, clearly none of them wanting to tell the cruel truth, especially not in front of Rudo.

Although in this world, Rudol and the Emperor of the East Sea don't seem to be father and son... their relationship doesn't seem much worse than that of father and son, or even mother and daughter. Would it be too much of a blow to Rudol by revealing these things that they both already know?

Finally, it was Jin Lang, the eldest member of the group, who stepped forward. His expression, initially showing reluctance, gradually calmed down as he addressed Lu Duo:

"President, regarding the evaluation of the East Sea Emperor, Mr. Wada, Mr. Ikezoe, and I all agree that she is undoubtedly a chosen one of heaven, a miraculous racehorse girl."

"But the miracles behind these miracles come at a price, which may seem unbelievable or even unacceptable to you. But do you really want to know?"

"..."

Lu Duo remained unusually silent. She turned her head slightly to look at the other side of the track. At this moment, under the supervision of the air tank, the racehorses were preparing for a parallel run training at the starting line, and the East Sea Emperor in position number one, whose confident smile could be clearly seen even from such a distance.

That was the kind of competitive spirit and confidence that only appeared on the field, the East Sea Emperor's. Lu Duo once hoped that this child could surpass her, but now, she began to feel that perhaps it was all an illusion...

If all of this were fake, she might be able to accept it, but the emperor…

"...I will make my own judgment, Trainer Jinlang. Since the three of you agree, please tell me your conclusions."

Ultimately, Rudolf symbolized the truth, even though the conclusion would be bitter and unbelievable to her, because she had to know for the sake of the child.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Responsibilities of Growing Up - Racehorse Girls

"Cross the finish line!"

Amidst the cheers from the racehorse named "Amazon," who had been temporarily brought in to serve as the finish line, the first racehorse to cross the finish line in this friendly training exercise was born: Tokai Emperor.

"Excellent! Victory truly belongs to my Emperor!"

Although it was just a friendly competition, the East Sea Emperor, who won first place, jumped up in great joy. Her flexible and extremely explosive leg structure allowed her to jump very high. When she landed, she made what she thought was a cool victory pose and turned her head to look at McQueen and Raging Waves, who had just crossed the finish line.

"Hehe, McQueen, it seems your weight loss journey is still quite long. You won't be able to beat me in the debut competition in a week!"

The East Sea Empress has the kind of personality that brightens up with a little sunshine. Her relationship with McQueen is that of friends and rivals. She chuckled mischievously and said, "Did you not have any sweets? That might have affected your performance. If you want some, go ahead and eat! I'm not happy at all about beating a listless guy in a competition~"

"Hehe... Your Majesty, this is not a friendly match yet; our competition has only just begun."

Although McQueen was panting heavily and looked nothing like an emperor, his face still radiated a tired but confident smile.

The Emperor of the East Sea was unaware, but she herself knew very well that she was running with weights on. Although the Emperor had pulled ahead by about two horse lengths, she was confident that once the friendly match started, she would be able to compete with the Emperor as long as she took off the weights!

This was a thought shared by Nu Tao, who was only slightly inferior to McQueen. She was even speechless with disbelief, considering that the weight she was wearing was even heavier than McQueen's.

Jinlang adjusted the weights given to the two women based on their physique and weight, while Nutao privately requested a heavier weight. Considering Nutao's safety, Jinlang only added a little bit, enough for her to complete one lap.

Even so, Nu Tao discovered that he could not only barely keep up with the East Sea Emperor who was not carrying any weight, but he could even almost surpass Megumi McQueen...

Could it be... that the trainer was telling the truth? Could I really have a chance to beat my opera classmate? At this moment, a feeling of unprecedented confidence welled up within Nu Tao...

I really have a chance to win!

"Ha, ha... Please wait for Karen-chan~"

At this moment, behind the group of racehorse girls, Maki-rei finally arrived late, but her running speed was already about the same as "Oyster"—in fact, by the time she reached the last bend, Maki-rei had already become "Oyster".

The 2000-meter middle distance was still too difficult for Maki. Around the 1200-meter mark, Maki gradually declined from the lead until he completely lost speed at the finish line.

"Ha...ha..." When Zhenjiling arrived at the scene, she was panting even more than McQueen and Raging Wave, who were carrying heavy loads. Although she was exhausted, she still revealed a uniquely cute expression as she spoke:

"Seriously, everyone's so amazing! I knew Onii-chan was right. Karen-chan is only good at short-distance races..."

"Hehe, Zhenjiling is really strong too! Even I, the Emperor, felt a lot of pressure before the third turn!" The Emperor of the East Sea, however, had a completely different attitude towards Zhenjiling, giving her a thumbs-up as if encouraging a junior:

"Short-distance races are definitely no problem for you, Makoto! If you work on your endurance and resilience, it's not impossible for you to even compete against me, the Emperor!"

"Hehe, then Karen-chan will accept this as a compliment~" Makoto replied with a cute smile. However, she herself knew that it would be difficult for her to compete with these people at the same level. She couldn't even finish the 2000-meter track, which was obviously a sign that she was extremely bad at middle-distance races.

—Thinking about it now, Onii-chan is really amazing. He could tell at a glance that Karen-chan is a racehorse girl who excels in short-distance races. Could it be that he has been secretly watching Karen-chan for a long time?

The more Makoto thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, when she first saw Iketa, she felt that he looked very familiar and had a natural fondness for him, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Although Makoto could guarantee that she had never met Ikezoe before, this natural attraction made her fantasize.

Could it really be God's arrangement? Zhen Jiling thought to herself, and even felt less tired, and smiled sweetly.

On the other side of the track, a female trainer and a horse girl watched the entire process. The two women were Tojo Hana and Koka. They had heard about the friendly training session and came to check it out, and also to scout out Koka's opponents.

"...Not bad." Tojo Hana looked at the time on her stopwatch and said calmly, "To be able to restore the speed of the horse girl, which had been slacking off since the debut race, to this level in such a short time, Wada's performance is worthy of the honor of being in the top three of the Central Exam."
