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

This led Great Shock to directly seek out the Golden Master. She desperately wanted the Golden Master to grow up quickly and become... a being that could threaten Great Shock.

Even at her fastest pace, Great Shock didn't think that the Golden Master could threaten her this year. Great Shock was very clear about her own strength. Although the Golden Master's talent might be above hers, and she also had a trainer who was truly her "chosen one," it would still be very difficult for her to surpass her this year.

However, perhaps he could surpass "that child." His eyes widened slightly in shock as he recalled one of his personally taught disciples.

Perhaps, if this gold maestro puts in a little more effort, her disciple could become one of the few formidable rivals competing against her in this year's Arima Kinen race.

"However, you can't threaten me now, not even this year. If you really intend to challenge me, then let's wait until next year's Arima Anniversary."

"Are you looking down on me?" The Gold Master asked with a slight frown. "Why don't we have a match right now? I will crush you just like I crushed everyone else at the Satsuki Sho."

"Oh? How terrifying, how terrifying." Da Zhenhan smiled slightly upon hearing this, but when she opened her eyes again, those eyes, which were very similar to Mi Yu's and flickered with blue flames, made the Golden Master's expression turn serious.

"So, are you sure you're ready?"

As soon as the words "Great Shock" were spoken, her invincible "Domain" on the field instantly covered the Golden Master. In an instant, the Golden Master felt as if he had been thrown into the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and the Great Shock he faced was the incomparably terrifying beast in the Colosseum, and he was the unarmed victim.

Almost instinctively, she tried to use her own aura to push back, but for some reason, within the realm of great shock, the Golden Master's aura dissipated beyond her control. The Golden Master was also taken aback, as this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"It seems that you, Master Gold, are not as good as Master General Raging Waves. Both of you are in the [Domain], but Raging Waves can still maintain his momentum and not be suppressed, while you, Master Gold, are actually inferior."

"With this kind of strength, you can't even defeat my personal disciple, let alone beat me. You might not even be able to beat the classic three-time champion."

She subtly withdrew her [domain] without a trace of shock. She acknowledged the Golden Master's talent, but it takes time for talent to be transformed into strength. The Golden Master was not yet a worthy opponent in her eyes.

"Be careful, Gold Master. Put away your arrogance. You were just lucky this time. In the next Japanese derby, with your current level, you might not be able to beat those opponents you once looked down on."

"Grow up quickly, otherwise you won't be able to step into the world."

"Great shock!" they said. However, just as the Gold Master was covering his head and covered in cold sweat, a voice slowly entered the ears of the two women.

"—My Orpheus, it's not up to anyone else to lecture you, not even you, what a shock."

Before the goldsmith could react, she felt an extra layer of clothing being draped over her. Feeling cold all over, she looked at the man beside her and hesitantly said:

"Chi Tian..."

"I'm sorry, Orpheus, I seem to be late." Chi Tian first comforted the Gold Master, who was currently on edge, as her trembling appearance clearly indicated that she was quite frightened. Chi Tian knew, of course, that the Gold Master's nerves couldn't be provoked, or something unpredictable might happen.

"Oh? You're Trainer Chi Tian?" Da Zhenhan noticed Chi Tian at first glance, and after her eyes lingered on Chi Tian and the Golden Master for a while, she showed an expression of interest.

This duo... in some ways seems even more interesting than the "perfect combination" of the Wada Kazuyo Opera.

Chapter 290: The Goldsmith's Next Target—The Noblewoman

"This is our first official meeting, isn't it? Trainer Ikezoe. Your unique training methods have truly broadened my horizons. Even Maruzen-senpai has praised your talent and creativity several times~"

"I'm so glad to finally see you today, and your proudest horse, the racehorse girl, the Golden Master. The fact that you two are standing together now puts some pressure on me."

This is also a combination that becomes stronger when working together. From the first moment I saw Ikezoe and the Golden Master standing together, I was certain of my thoughts. This combination is no less than that of the "most perfect combination" of Good Opera and Wada, only their focus is different.

Good opera and Hetian are more inclined to complement each other in terms of ability. Both are indispensable. As long as the two fight together, they can achieve a state of perfect cooperation. Their weaknesses will be complemented, thus forming a "perfection" that is without any blind spots and cannot be affected.

However, Ikezoe and the Golden Masters are different—or rather, their relationship of dominance is different. With Good Opera and Wada, it's fair to say they mutually dominate. In a competition, Wada typically takes charge during the less intense phases, stabilizing Good Opera's emotions and allowing them to achieve better positions with less physical exertion. But once the sprint begins, Wada relinquishes control to Good Opera, allowing them to fully unleash their potential.

The Golden Master and Chi Tian are clearly different; their dominant relationship... can only be one person. However, for the time being, Da Zhenhan is also unsure whether the Golden Master or Chi Tian is the dominant one.

Because the Golden Master was easily angered and irritable, restless and unpredictable, she didn't seem like the kind of horse girl who could dominate the racetrack. She needed Ikezoe's restraint and command—yet Ikezoe unexpectedly indulged the Golden Master's behavior, or perhaps she had become accustomed to it? This left Da Zhenzhen unable to make a judgment.

What exactly is going on between these two?

"However, I'm not here to lecture Golden Master, Trainer Ikezoe. I'm just here to give you a heads-up, otherwise, the Triple Crown racehorse girl honor might easily slip through your fingers~"

"Be careful, the enemies you're facing now are far more than just those kids who won the classic treble. This year's Japan Cup... I have a kid I'm very optimistic about, and you might run into him."

"I'm really looking forward to the clash between these two kids who have won three titles in the Japan Cup. No matter who wins in the end, they'll both be eligible for me to personally play for them the following year!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Triple Crown only happens once a year, right? How can two racehorses win the Triple Crown at the same time?" The Golden Master was somewhat confused, but at this moment, Ikezoe, who was standing next to him, clearly understood the meaning of the great shock and couldn't help but ask:

"You mean... a mare with a triple crown?"

"You got it right, you're so smart~ As expected of Trainer Ikezoe."

The great shock, with her approachable older sister demeanor, as if she hadn't been the one who unleashed the [Domain] that was enough to completely crush the Golden Master, spoke to Chi Tian and the Golden Master:

"Although mares don't need to participate in the classic Triple Crown like the Duma and have their own Triple Crown races, mares can still participate in other races that the Duma participates in, as long as the team doesn't object."

"To be honest, I also have a child I quite value... well, you could call her my disciple? She's aiming for the Triple Crown for mares. Actually, in my opinion, even though she's a mare racehorse, she's more than capable of challenging for the Classic Triple Crown. But as you all know, things don't always go as I wish."

"However, she is very strong. I have absolute confidence in that girl and believe she can win the mare triple crown. As for the Japan Cup... you should be careful. She is stronger than most of the Duma."

"...What is her name?" After a moment of silence, the Gold Master asked with a serious tone, though her words subtly revealed a hint of excitement.

The Golden Master now understands that the Great Shock might be the strongest obstacle in his path, and if he were to truly stand before the "Emperor" and dethrone her, the effort he would have to put in would likely be even greater.

This is an opponent even more terrifying than "Emperor" Rudolf, and one that I cannot surpass in just one year. Perhaps I will need to fight for two years before I can have the ability to confront the Great Shock head-on.

In her classic year... she won't be a match for the Big Shock. She needs to win the Classic Triple Crown, the Arima Kinen, the Japan Cup, and even the following year's away title race to have a chance of defeating the Big Shock.

Of course, her goals have changed now. She is determined to win the classic triple crown, but her new target is the disciple that Da Zhenhan mentioned.

Although she is a mares racehorse girl, she possesses strength surpassing a large number of Duma racehorse girls—such an assessment was enough to give the Gold Master a strange sense of satisfaction.

"Her name is 'Lady'," the author casually remarked, referring to the racehorse girl. "She's an incredibly tough racehorse girl; I rarely use 'tough' to describe racehorse girls, you know."

"So, be careful, Golden Master, and trainer Ikezoe. Hopefully, we can have a great match in the Japan Cup or Arima Kinen next year, just like Good Opera and Rudolf."

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. Goodbye, everyone!"

The great shock seemed to have vanished without a trace, and Chi Tian and the Gold Master watched his figure slowly disappear. After a long while, Chi Tian noticed the Gold Master's silence and couldn't help but offer words of comfort:

"It's alright, Orpheus, we'll definitely win—even if our opponent is the Great Shock."

"You really have a lot of confidence in me... Well, anyway, that's all you're good for me now."

Golden Master glanced casually at Ikezoe beside her, but Ikezoe, without any warning, ruffled Golden Master's hair. It has to be said that Golden Master's hair felt really nice, a quality that had also been passed down to Golden Master, who was a racehorse girl.

Ikezoe really liked to ruffle the orange hair of the Golden Master, which looked golden even in the light. It didn't need much decoration, and it was smooth and cascading like a waterfall. However, Ikezoe didn't dare to approach the Golden Master herself, but as a racehorse girl, the Golden Master seemed more accepting of him ruffling her hair.

"Don't worry, Orphie. The Great Shock is a huge mountain, but we will find a way to cross it. I have confidence in you."

"Let's turn our attention back to the classic triple crown, shall we? Although what the senior, Da Zhenhan, said was a little harsh, she's right. We must focus on the classic triple crown first."

"Orphie, don't underestimate your opponents. Miura Bourbon and Miyu, as well as Special Week, and the Japanese Derby next month, they will all be very threatening racehorse girls to you."

"...Leave the competition to me, Chi Tian. You just need to support me."

After what had just happened, the Golden Master seemed to have calmed down a lot. Although he still spoke with a firm tone, his attitude had softened considerably. He seemed to have regained some of the composure he had shown a year ago when he hadn't won a match and was unaware of his own talent.

Of course, this was only temporary. After nodding, Ikezoe began to feel uneasy... because of what Da Zhensheng had just said.

"The noblewoman... in some ways, she is no less oppressive than the Great Shock, especially for Orphie. She is one of the greatest threats to her..."

"Orphie isn't strong enough yet, but what can I do to make her stronger?"

Ikezoe was very distressed and felt powerless. He suddenly envied Wada. He and the opera were truly of one mind, while he and Orpheus... it seemed that they had not yet reached that level.

Chapter 291: A Huge Shock - Want to Be a Villain?

"Huh...huh...huh..."

"Catch up, catch up, and even faster."

At this very night, Miyu was still training hard at the training ground. Not long after the Satsuki Sho, Miyu did not choose to rest like most racehorse girls. Instead, she seized the time to arrange her own training and devoted herself to practical training.

This defeat at the Satsuki Sho is of great significance to Mi Yu. First of all, she has put her [Domain] into actual combat and achieved considerable results. In the Satsuki Sho competition, Mi Yu certainly remembers the scene where she suppressed Special Week with her [Domain], and this is definitely not an illusion.

Mi Yu now has a sufficient understanding of her [Domain] ability, knowing its characteristics and properties. She can guarantee that as long as her [Domain] affects a racehorse girl, and the difference in strength between that racehorse girl and herself is not drastically different, there are not many racehorses that can withstand the influence of her [Domain] and still beat her.

Even a master craftsman probably couldn't do that, right? Mi Yu hasn't verified this yet, but she's confident in it—because after awakening her [Domain], she unexpectedly had a feeling that the gap between her and a gold master craftsman wasn't as big as she had imagined.

The loss at the Satsuki Sho was only because the 2000-meter race distance was a little shorter, and her timing for the sprint was a little late. But even so, Mi Yu was almost able to catch the Golden Master's last foot. She was just a little bit short of the range of her [Domain]. If it had been a little longer, the Golden Master would have sensed Mi Yu's threat during the sprint.

If there's no way to improve your "domain" in a short time, then train your footwork as much as possible to be faster and more explosive, so you can catch up with the Golden Master's last step.

So, after finding her goal, Mi Yu intensified her training, striving to run faster, and rapidly improved within a month.

Satsuki no Shō failed to get close to the "Golden Tyrant," but in the Japanese derby, she must do everything in her power to make the "tyrant" hesitate even slightly because of her presence; that would be a success for her.

"Miyu, you can do it! You're not the same Miyu you used to be. You're now qualified to compete with Master."

"You need to work even harder, yes, even harder!"

Thinking this, Mi Yu's steps became even more cheerful, so much so that she didn't notice the figure watching her from above.

Meanwhile, high up in the training field, Miura Bourbon, dressed in her training clothes, was silently watching Miura. This was a rare day of rest for her after the competition. Her trainer, Kuronuma, said that he needed some time to redesign Miura Bourbon's training. He realized that continuing with the current training would make it difficult to help Miura Bourbon defeat the Golden Master, and that a new plan had to be designed.

Moreover, at the Satsuki Prize, Miura Bourbon was ultimately surpassed by Miyu, and Kuronuma would not forget this. This shows that there must have been a problem with his training arrangements. Miyu, who ranked sixth in the Yayoi Prize, surpassed his most prized disciple at the Satsuki Prize in just one month, while Miura Bourbon's performance was perfect. So the problem must lie with the trainer.

During this period, Kuronuma was also very focused on studying his opponents and analyzing problems, so Miura Bourbon's training was temporarily suspended. During this time, Miura Bourbon got a rare vacation.

But instead of taking advantage of this rare holiday to rest, Miura Bobang came to the training ground as night fell. She learned about Miyu's training process from some friends and knew that Miyu would come here to train alone for a period of time in the evening.

Meanwhile, Miura Bourbon had been observing Mi Yu since he first arrived at the training ground. Before coming, she had already asked him many questions about Mi Yu, and muttered to herself:

"Miyu, from the advanced department, has never had a trainer to guide him and doesn't have many friends. After system testing, he ranked sixth in the Yayoi Award. The probability of Miyu letting loose is 13%, which is a low probability event."

"So... after the Yayoi Award, there's a very high chance that Mi Yu received guidance; we need to observe patiently."

Miura Hōbō didn't think that Miyu could achieve such a huge leap in just one month without any guidance—although Uma Musume is full of miracles, and Miura Hōbō also felt that many things cannot be analyzed by data, she felt that Miyu's sudden rise should be more than just a miracle.

Miyu is talented, but why has she suddenly risen to prominence in just this one month? There must be some other reason. Miura Bōpō thought to herself, having already watched Miyu train for an hour, and now she continued to observe patiently.

"Sensing a crisis, so you've started studying your opponent? That's not bad, but improving your own abilities is definitely more important, isn't it?"

"!" A hint of surprise appeared on Miura Happen's expressionless face as she subconsciously looked at the long-haired black horse girl who had somehow appeared beside her.

Having just left Chi Tian and the Golden Master, Da Zhen had thought her trip to Treson Academy was coming to an end. However, upon arriving at the training ground, she spotted Miura Happen and approached her with great interest.

Although Daishin was well aware that a racehorse like Miura Bourbon, who relied on hard work and rigorous training, might have a short career if she didn't have enough potential to overdraw upon, she still valued this hardworking racehorse.

Moreover, Mbappé's potential has not yet been fully realized, and as one of the formidable opponents that the Golden Masters will encounter on his journey to the classic treble, Da Zhenhan felt it might be necessary to check on Mbappé's current form.

When she silently approached Miura Haruka and noticed that her gaze was fixed on the rice bathing area below, she knew what Miura Haruka was thinking and promptly pointed out her confusion.

"A silent, black-haired racehorse girl, gentle and easy to get along with, not from Treson Academy, currently searching the memory bank..."

"—Great Shock Senior, nice to meet you."

"Oh? What an interesting way of speaking! Are you imitating Cyborg Girls?" Daishin also found Miura Bourbon's way of speaking amusing, but Miura Bourbon shook her head and said:

"Not a machine, but a cyborg. I am a racehorse girl whose goal is to become a triple crown racehorse girl. I am an existence that executes Master's commands with absolute precision."

"Sigh...so handsome, but didn't you lose at the Satsuki Sho? Shouldn't the mission objective be changed?" Dai Zhenzhen blinked innocently and deliberately said something with low emotional intelligence, which unsurprisingly silenced Miura Bourbon.
