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

Although Miura Bourbon's expression was calm, her emotions could not escape the great shock she sensed. She noticed Miura Bourbon's unwillingness, and at that moment, she suddenly had an idea.

Now that she has decided to transform from a "hero" into a "demon king," shouldn't she add some formidable opponents to the "warriors" she favors who will become the next "tyrant"?

Such a growth rate can't keep up with the noblewoman's child. It seems the Gold Master needs a little "help" from her.

Moreover... these defeated racehorse girls might also need her methods to motivate them, to unleash some of their potential, so that they don't become discouraged by failure, but instead grow faster from each setback and eventually achieve greater success.

Incidentally, it might also extend the career of this adorable junior racehorse girl... Dae-shocking thought to himself.

"Now that you know who I am, things will be much easier."

"So, do you want power—no, I should say, do you want to become stronger? I can find a way to make you stronger."

She tried to imitate the third-rate demon king lines she learned from comics, and was deeply impressed by her efforts to portray herself as a demon king. However, the uncontrollable smile on her face made her look like she was deliberately pretending to be fierce in order to imitate him.

“I can help you unleash your potential, Miura Bourbon. Now, follow me and I can make you stronger before the Japanese derby.”

"..."

However, faced with the overwhelming shock before her, Miura Bourbon hesitated for a long time. Although her expression was calm, the urge in her eyes clearly revealed her true thoughts...

After all, who would refuse guidance from a true legendary racehorse girl? Although Miura Bourbon wasn't quite sure why Daikoku wanted to mentor her, she was naturally going to seize the opportunity...

"—The agreement is in effect, but Miura Bourbon will not betray its Master."

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to terminate your contract with your trainer. Just consider it a suggestion from me."

Da Zhenhuan smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed; his first "subordinate" was now ready.

Chapter 292: Tanino Misaki's Special Teaching Week?

A similar scene was playing out in another team. On this day, Okino was in his team's room, and at this moment, the four racehorse girls in his team—Special Week, Silent Suzuka, Yamato Akaki, and Vodka—were all looking at their trainer with worried expressions.

"Trainer... if all else fails, perhaps we could ask Senior Mi Yu for advice?"

At this point, Vodka couldn't stand the dull atmosphere within the team any longer. Seeing everyone so silent, the naturally lively Vodka couldn't help but speak up:

"Even if Miyu-senpai doesn't know, asking the three trainers of the 'Miracle' team shouldn't be a big problem, right? If that doesn't work, can't we use Trainer Naise? I heard she coached Narita-ji and Orihime-senpai before the Chrysanthemum Festival..."

"That stupid vodka, that's why later during the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Festival, the patrons of Orihime and Narita-senpai opened the way for great opera seniors."

Upon hearing this, Yamato Akachi covered his head in distress and said, "The situation is different now. There are no annoying guys from the entertainment industry causing trouble now. Everyone is competing fairly."

"And... if they ask other trainers for help, wouldn't that be embarrassing for the trainer?" Silent Suzuka couldn't help but turn her gaze to Okino, saying worriedly, "Won't the trainer's pride be hurt?"

"No... Actually, if it could really help Special Zhou improve, I'd be willing to sell my dignity." Upon hearing this, Okino smiled bitterly and sat back down in his seat, saying to everyone, "But the problem is, this kind of level of understanding can't be learned; Special Zhou has to figure it out for himself."

"Even if I swallow my pride and ask for advice, it will probably be in vain. That's the biggest problem."

"Waaah... I'm sorry, trainer, am I too stupid..."

Upon hearing this, Special Weekly also let out a sound of grievance. After failing in the Satsuki Sho, she had been very depressed. Her first step in becoming "Japan's strongest horse racer" was a setback, and anyone would feel very down.

However, her low mood was secondary. For Te Te Zhou, if she were suppressed by a Gold Master, she might be able to accept it, but she was actually suppressed by Mi Yu, who only ranked sixth in the last Yayoi Prize, and was suppressed without any power to fight back. This really hurt Te Te Zhou's self-esteem.

She even felt that her third place in the Yayoi Prize was just a lucky coincidence, and she began to doubt her own abilities. If it weren't for Silent Suzuka constantly comforting her, she probably would have fallen into a vicious cycle of self-doubt.

"It's okay, Spee-chan, you're still very strong, it's just that your opponents are too strong."

Silent Suzuka comforted Special Zhou, saying, "Golden Master is indeed very strong. Although she is not as strong as Nurarihyon or Good Opera, her performance at the Satsuki Award was truly outstanding."

"Moreover... none of us expected that Mi Yu would suddenly become so powerful. Even Mi Yu surpassed Mipu Bourbon. Her current strength has surprised us all."

"...Alright, let's not talk about Special Week for now. The Japanese Derby starts in a month, and there's not much we can do during this time." Okino, having made up her mind, said to the four racehorse girls, "Even if I have to swallow my pride and ask the three members of the 'Miracle' team for advice, I will definitely find a way to improve Little Special's strength."

"The important thing is—Suzuka, are you really going to participate in this year's Autumn Emperor's Sho?"

“Yes, I’m going.” Silent Suzuka nodded solemnly and said, “In the Autumn Emperor’s Prize, if nothing unexpected happens, I will run into Raging Wave and McQueen. I want to win an honor for the trainer and for our team.”

"Although I know there is a big gap between me and them, I will still win as always."

"Hmm... Suzuka, your recent matches and training have been going very well. In the Autumn Emperor's Slam, even if you face renowned players like Nuo and Mejiro McQueen... you shouldn't have much of a problem."

Okino is very confident in Suzuka's "escape" tactic. Mile races and middle distances are Suzuka's forte. Even though she doesn't have the powerful breakthrough of Rumble, the dominance of McQueen in long distances, or the strength of Good Opera, which is arguably the strongest in this era, in middle distance races, Silent Suzuka's "escape" will make her less affected by the race girls behind her. This is Suzuka's biggest advantage.

This is why Okino agreed to let Suzuka go to the Autumn Emperor's Prize, which was destined to be extremely fierce. McQueen and Ryusou are very strong, but Suzuka's escape can minimize her weaknesses, and she still has a very good chance of winning.

"In that case, I'll submit this list. Suzuka, you and Teruki should prepare for your matches during this time."

"Yeah!" X2

Special Zhou and Silent Suzuka both nodded solemnly. Just then, a knock came from the team's room, drawing everyone's attention.

"Excuse me, is Little Te inside?" A gentle voice, like that of a Japanese nadeshiko, came from outside: "I have something very important to discuss with her."

"That voice... is it Kusakabe-kun?"

"Oh? Little Grass? I'm coming right now."

Upon hearing it was Grasshopper's voice, Zhou immediately went to open the team's door. Grasshopper, dressed in his school uniform, entered the room with a gentle smile and bowed slightly to the group, saying:

"I apologize for the intrusion, Trainer Okino, and everyone else."

"Kusaka Fei... Are you here to see Tetsu? We're discussing our next strategy. Could you wait a bit if you can?" Okino wasn't surprised that Kusaka Fei would come. Everyone knew that Kusaka Fei and Tetsu had a good relationship. So even though Kusaka Fei was Tojo Hana's race girl, she would still invite Tetsu to participate in training or other friendly activities every now and then.

Faced with Okino's words, Kusakabe Hibi, whose gentle smile rarely showed a hint of distress, said:

"I can wait, but I don't think the other one is willing to wait that long."

"Another one?" However, Grasshopper's words surprised everyone slightly. But a moment later, the team's door suddenly opened again—but this time, it was opened much more roughly, as it was kicked open.

"Is this the place? Grasshopper junior? This place looks pretty ordinary, it wouldn't matter if it were demolished, right?"

"That voice—no way?!"

However, when that dashing yet somewhat wild voice rang out, the one who reacted most strongly among the group was Vodka, who looked at the racehorse girl with short purple hair who entered the house with a look of surprise.

"Tani no Misaki-senpai?! Is it Tanino Misaki-senpai?!"

"Hey, that voice, isn't that Little Vodka? Long time no see."

As the voice faded, a short-haired racehorse girl with purple hair, known as "Tani no Misaki," came into view. She had the same face shape as Vodka, and even her hairstyle was very similar, with white highlights and an eyepatch over her right eye, making her look like a wilder version of Vodka.

When they saw who it was, everyone was stunned. Yamato Akaki, who was closest to Vodka, was the first to ask, "Vodka, is this your mother?"

"No! She's my senior! She's my idol!" Vodka excitedly approached Tanino Misaki and asked, "Senior, why are you back? Didn't you retire a long time ago?"

"Yes, I did retire, but some juniors invited me back to Treson Academy, and since I had nothing else to do, I came back to check it out." Tanino Miyu nodded, then her gaze settled on Special Zhou, and she smiled and nodded.

"This is the one who participated in the Classic Triple Crown, right? He looks pretty good, a promising prospect."

"—Tetsu, this is Tanino Misaki-senpai, a racehorse girl who dominates the mile with 'speed' and reigns supreme in the mid-range." Kusakabe Tobi smiled at the bewildered Special Weekly and said:

“I specifically asked my trainer to find this senior. I believe that with his guidance, you will definitely shine in the Japanese derby and defeat the Golden Master.”

Chapter 293: Master Craftsman: You call this a mare?

"If we don't become strong enough, even the Japanese derby will become very dangerous, let alone fighting against someone like a noblewoman."

"So, Orpheus, although I don't quite understand either, we must intensify our training now. We need to get you ready to face the other racehorses in the Japanese derby with a completely new attitude as soon as possible."

On this day, Ikezoe and the others were clearly unaware of the events surrounding Special Week and Miura Bourbon. What was putting immense pressure on the Gold Master was that not only Ikezoe, his Makoto, and the East Merchant Reform were present, but also Wada, Ima, and Nase, along with a group of companions who had obtained GI. Everyone was focused on her, making her feel unprecedented pressure.

"Everyone... is this really necessary? It's just a Japanese derby, is it really necessary for us to make such a fuss?"

After yesterday's first encounter with the Great Shock, the Golden Master's emotions unexpectedly became more like her former timid self. Her "other side" began to influence her less, and now, facing a group of "eager" racehorse girls, she forced herself to speak:

"Even if you didn't say it, I would still try to win. I'll just run well in the Japanese derby, right? With my skills, I can definitely beat them."

"—Master, you can't be so sure of yourself. Miura Bourbon, Special Week, and Yonezu are all formidable opponents. Your victory in the Satsuki Sho was partly due to luck. If it were just one clash with them, it would be fine, but you still have to go through at least two more matches together, the Japanese Derby and the Chrysanthemum Sho."

After recovering from her drunken state, Fumino Naze, with her sharp intellect, immediately spoke to the Gold Master: "After you won both the Yayoi Prize and the Satsuki Prize, they will definitely consider the Japanese Derby a formidable opponent. This is the most prestigious match among the classic Triple Crowns, so don't be careless, Master."

“Yes, yes, Master, Miura and the others are very strong.” Ryutō said to the Gold Master, “That’s why Trainer Ikezoe asked us to help you improve your strength.”

"So you guys are planning to collectively unleash your [momentum] and overwhelm me until I can't get up?! Who came up with this training method?!"

Finally, the Golden Master couldn't bear it any longer and shouted it out. From her perspective, the horse girls from her team all released their [aura], and those like Good Opera, who possessed both [domain] and [aura], didn't hold back and attacked with both. The Golden Master was trapped in the center of the pressure, struggling to hold on and not be crushed by the [aura] of her teammates.

The Golden Master's [Aura] is not the type that excels at direct confrontation, and her aura is not particularly strong among her teammates. The main reason is that the Golden Master's [Aura] greatly enhances her own abilities, and coupled with the violent aura she naturally exudes, it makes some timid racehorse girls fearful, so her performance is very powerful.

Simply put, it's a straightforward approach where all points are allocated to attributes without investing in skills. This makes the Gold Master's "Aura" seem very strong at first glance. However, in reality, according to online game data, the Gold Master's aura is only at LV1. On the other hand, a character like Good Opera, even if not LVMAX, would at least be at LV3 when participating in the Japanese Derby.

The Golden Master has always relied on his innate talent in the game, which is not good. Although everyone knows that it would be completely useless to give the Golden Master any tactical instructions when he is in the game, the Golden Master's level is still too low.

She was only bullying Meipu Bobang, Miyu, and Special Zhou because they hadn't yet reached the same level as her. Coupled with her innate physical abilities, she could seemingly win easily. However, if this level were to actually compete with a noblewoman, the Golden Master would definitely be no match for her.

"We've watched the video of the Lady's race. She won the Sakura Sho race very easily, and her performance... really can't be judged by the standards of a mares racehorse girl."

"Huh? Ikezoe, did you guys watch that race called 'Lady's Horse Girl'?"

Meanwhile, the Golden Master, struggling to maintain his composure amidst the overwhelming "aura" of the racehorse girls, was perhaps spared due to the sheer number of them but also because they were holding back. He even had the leisure to chat and ask:

"Is that guy very strong? I'm really curious."

"...You'll see for yourself when the time comes, Orpheus, the noblewoman is really... formidable."

After a long pause, Chi Tian simply used the phrase "greatly shocked" to describe the noblewoman. However, the other three trainers, who had also watched the video, nodded in agreement with Chi Tian's description.

"If I really had to describe it, it would probably be more like the Golden Ship, right?" Jinlang was looking for a racehorse girl whose image was similar to that of a noblewoman, and the Golden Ship, who was mentioned, smiled nonchalantly upon hearing this:

"That sounds interesting. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet her at the competition?"

"Calm down, Golden Ship. You're a Duma racehorse girl. Although the Lady is considered one of the strongest mares, even possessing explosive power and stamina comparable to Duma, she still can't match you in terms of collisions."

Jinlang already knew what would happen if the Lady collided with the Golden Ship, and tried his best to stop the Golden Ship's idea. However, when he thought that the Golden Ship would also be entering a classic year next year, and then the second Japan Cup... he might really have a chance to meet.

Thinking this, Jinlang actually felt a little anticipation for that scene to happen. Even if the golden ship was running at full speed, its chances of winning against the noblewoman wouldn't be very high—but it would definitely leave the noblewoman with some psychological trauma.

However, it is still very difficult for the current Golden Masters to compete head-on with the Lady. Today, I can't help but recall the confrontation between the Golden Masters and the Lady in the Japan Cup, where the Golden Masters ultimately lost to the Lady.

At that time, the Golden Master was about to retire in a year and should have been at the peak of his physical condition, but even so, he was still no match for the Noble Lady. Now, the Golden Master's level and physique... no matter what, he could never be a match for the Noble Lady.

For the current Golden Masters to defeat the Lady in a head-on clash at this year's Japan Cup, it would be very difficult unless the Golden Masters undergo a major transformation—they might very well suffer a premature defeat at the moment of clash of momentum.

Jinlang and Wada's group all understood that this was exactly what Ikezoe was most worried about. Defeating the noblewoman was not just a goal for Wada, but also a revenge.

But this goal of revenge may be even more difficult than winning the classic triple crown, and this is actually a kind of obsession for Ikezoe and the Golden Masters...

"I think it would be good for Orphie to watch the Lady's matches; perhaps her playing style can give you some inspiration?"

"No, I don't want to study other people's tactics. I don't need that stuff!"

The Golden Master, however, was surprisingly persistent about this matter. She never watched other people's match videos, and even if she did, it was only her own, the kind of videos where she summarized her failures. But since she awakened her potential, she has never studied other people's videos again.
