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

"What? We didn't know that." The commentator's voice had just started when not only the female racehorses waiting for the race to begin, but even the trainers were slightly taken aback. They hadn't received any such news before.

Okino, however, belatedly realized what was happening. After glancing around, he immediately asked everyone, "Where's Tanino-senpai?! Where did she go?"

"Huh? She was just here." Special Zhou looked around but didn't notice Tanino Miyu, who had been teaching her all this time. Belatedly, she realized it and immediately fixed her gaze on the stage.

"Could it be—no way?!"

"First, let me introduce our first senior racer! She was once a 'powerful' and overwhelming presence on the racetrack, embodying a unique violent aesthetic and dominating the mid-range!"

"Let us welcome the fifteenth most popular contestant in this Autumn Emperor's Award! And also the fifteenth gatekeeper—Tanino Misake!"

As the commentator's voice faded, Tanino Miyu, dressed in a dashing final outfit and wearing an eye patch, stepped onto the stage with absolute confidence and strength. The moment she stepped onto the stage, the uncontrollable excitement and danger emanating from her made McQueen, Rumble, and Suzuka all shudder.

This is a racehorse girl known for her strength, and when Misaki Tanino stepped onto the track, the other racehorse girls were terrified by her danger and her powerful dominance in middle-distance races.

"Tani-senpai?!" The one most shocked was, of course, the silent Suzuka. She felt her mouth go dry and asked hoarsely, "What are you doing here?"

"Sorry, but I have to keep my promises. That's my motto." Tanino Miku, tossing her purple hair and tilting her head slightly, displayed the beauty that made the women and racehorse girls scream, and said with a smile:

"I'm not the main character, the next one is the real powerhouse. It took me a lot of effort to convince her to come along."

"What?" X3

The three women were all taken aback by Tanino Misaki's words. At that moment, along with the commentator's voice, an extremely cold aura slowly approached the group, making everyone present feel refreshed.

Before you see him, you can sense his presence. This person... is truly formidable!

"And the sixteenth most popular female horse in this race is an even bigger heavyweight! She was the first person to achieve consecutive wins of the Autumn Emperor's Sho! She also won two Arima Kinen titles! She has continuously set the record for the biggest GI difference and is a powerful racehorse girl who has dominated the world!"

"And this time, she has once again descended upon the autumn Emperor's Slam racetrack, a place she has practically conquered! While putting immense pressure on the future racehorses, she also upholds the superstar racehorse girl's racing style, showing them the most formidable racehorse girl!"

"Dear viewers! Let us welcome with warm applause the ruler of the Autumn Emperor's Award! The 'Black Emperor'—Kichicho!"

"boom!"

Amidst the heavy footsteps, a tall, taciturn racehorse girl with brown skin as cold as black snow stepped onto the track without any emotional fluctuation, accompanied by the commentator's voice. Her arrival undoubtedly brought an almost invincible opponent to all the racehorse girls participating in this Autumn Emperor's Slam, including Misaki Tanino.

At that moment, as Ji Zhao's gaze swept over everyone, all the racehorse girls felt a truly insurmountable sense of powerlessness.

If Wada were present at this moment, he would have been utterly astonished by Kitcho's arrival, and after a long while, he would have muttered to himself:

"Tani no Misaki-senpai, you're really... so genuine."

It was so intense that it changed the nature of the match. Suddenly, everyone's focus shifted from how to help Suzuka avoid running away unrestrained to worrying about how any of them could play freely under such pressure.

Racing against such formidable racehorse girls, even finishing the race is a question! Under the combined onslaught of Kitcho and Tanino Misaki's "territory" and "momentum," how many of these poor little foals can possibly make it to the end?

Chapter 351: The Double Suppression of Tanino Misaki and Kitcho

"Tani no Misake and Kitcho... truly... an autumn imperial prize of breathtaking quality."

"Putting everything else aside, this Autumn Emperor's Slam is absolutely a spectacle that can be recorded in history. The two race girls who are known for their dominance in middle-distance races, as well as the race against a group of rising star race girls, no matter what the result is, at least the upcoming Chrysanthemum Slam will not be as exciting as this Autumn Emperor's Slam."

The group of Jinlang in the audience, upon seeing such a luxurious and dream-like lineup for the Autumn Emperor's Slam, took a long time to recover from their shock, and their views on the competition underwent a complete change.

None of them expected that Tanino Misaki would actually participate in the competition without any compensation, and not only her, but the person she brought along was even more important.

The name of the racehorse, Kee Cheong, is known to all the jockeys. Both Iwanami and Ikezoe had some close contact with Kee Cheong. Iwanami had some exchanges and learning with the stable staff, while Ikezoe saw Kee Cheong, which was not far from Dowanda, when he went to visit Dowanda (who had already passed away).

They were all familiar with this horse's performance; they could even say that when Kitcho appeared on the track, almost no other female horse in the entire field had any chance left.

"But this time, Kitcho probably didn't come here to win the Autumn Emperor's Prize... So, does that mean she came to help us along with Tanino Misaki?"

“I heard before that before Wada left, he had a private meeting with Tanino Misaki…” Ikezoe nodded and said, “I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but now it seems… Wada really showed us his skills.”

"Honestly, this guy should have said so sooner! With Kitcho and Tanino Misaki covering for us, what are we worried about? Is this kid deliberately keeping quiet and waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

"That guy, wait till he gets back to Japan, I'll give him a good beating!"

Actually, even Wada himself probably didn't expect that Tanino Misaki would bring Kitcho along as well. After analyzing the current situation, the team member who breathed a sigh of relief was Imanami. He had already prepared for the worst. If things got too serious after they executed this tactic, he would sacrifice his career, admit his mistakes at the press conference, and then fast forward to the "red bean paste, private horse race" process.

However, it seems that such preparations are no longer necessary. With Kitcho and Tanino Misaki in charge, it's questionable whether most of the rising star race girls can even unleash their full potential. There's basically no need to try and stop Suzuka anymore.

"However... we still need to be careful about Suzuka's ability to withstand pressure. After all, this is the first time she has faced off against several of the kids in our team, and it's probably also the first time she has faced a racehorse girl with [Aura] and [Domain]."

Jinlang's worries hadn't subsided, and he said calmly, "And such a formidable enemy right from the start... I wonder if Suzuka can withstand it..."

However, there's no doubt that with them there, the chances of something going wrong are much lower. Jinlang's brow relaxed considerably as he watched the racehorse girls slowly enter, his mood also becoming much more optimistic.

Meanwhile, the racehorses entered the arena one by one, walking through the gates one after another. After watching Suzuka enter the gates, McQueen and Raging Waves whispered to each other:

"It seems the nature of this race has changed... Nutao, now we'll have to see who can win the championship, given the overwhelming strength of our two senior racehorse girls."

"But let me make this clear first, I'm not going to admit defeat."

The happiest person in the current situation is undoubtedly McQueen. She had already prepared herself to give up the Autumn Emperor's Prize, but the arrival of Miyu Tanino and Kitcho has changed the nature of the competition.

If the overwhelming strength of these two seniors is not enough to affect Suzuka, then perhaps even if she and Nuotao join forces, they won't be able to do anything.

“But, but I think Suzuka-san might actually need our help.” Nutao, however, didn’t think things were that simple. Of course, she knew that with their current strength, none of them could match Kitcho and Tanino Misaki, but it was precisely because the gap was so large that it was worrying.

Nu Tao's gaze was fixed on Suzuka, who had entered the gate without hesitation, even when faced with Kitcho and Tanino Misaki. He said with slight unease:

"I have a feeling that Suzuka might be forcing herself... Let's keep an eye on her."

"...Since you put it that way, Nutao..."

McQueen nodded slightly in agreement, but at the moment she was more focused on the Autumn Emperor's Prize.

After all... it's questionable whether I can withstand the confrontation between two such powerful seniors.

After McQueen and Raging Waves entered the gate, Tanino Misaki and Kitcho arrived late. However, Kitcho entered the gate without saying a word, while Tanino Misaki was reluctantly pushed in by several staff members.

"I don't like the gate, don't push me, I'll go in by myself."

Even so, the staff probably knew Tanino Miyu's habits, because although several people pushed her in, they didn't make things too difficult for her. In a short while, Tanino Miyu was pushed through the gate.

After the wine from Tanino was poured into the gate, the usually taciturn Jicho, who had been standing to the side, suddenly spoke to Tanino without warning:

"...Remember your promise, fine wine."

"Of course I remember, don't worry, Kitcho." Tanino Miyu, having already taken her starting stance, smiled at Kitcho beside her and said:

"As long as you help me with this, I will definitely help you fulfill your request."

"……That's good."

Ji Zhao nodded slightly upon hearing this, but unfortunately the gate was blocking Tanino Misaki's view, otherwise she would have discovered an extremely strange scene.

Ji Zhao, who had been silent and had a cold expression, blushed strangely on her brown face when she heard that their previous promises could be fulfilled.

But it was fleeting. The next moment, with the countdown to the gate opening, Ji Zhao was full of energy this time.

Having agreed to Tanino Misaki's request and stepped onto this track where even winning wouldn't bring honor, she had no intention of holding back.

In Ji Zhao's races, nothing else matters but victory, efficiency, and win rate. Therefore, even in a race with absolutely no reward, she will show no mercy once she's entered.

No matter who the opponent is, whether it's a legendary female racer or a rising star, if you're racing against her, you have to be prepared to compete against her.

"Dangdang!"

—Because of her, she pursues complete victory!

"The pitch-black emperor... is about to ascend!"

The moment the gates opened, Kitcho and Tanino Misaki went all out! In an instant, a terrifying aura and domain spread throughout the entire Tokyo Racecourse, causing all the racehorse girls racing against them to pause a second before stepping out of the gates.

No one knew what had happened. Only Ima and Ikezoe could see the two black horses that had rushed out in that instant—of course, not real black horses, since this was the world of Uma Musume, but the clarity of the [aura] unleashed by Tanino Misaki and Kitcho, which made it seem as if the two black horses had materialized and rushed out!

Such sheer "momentum" left the racehorse girls utterly powerless. Moreover, the two women directly used their "domains," indicating that they had come with the intention of giving their all to complete the race from the very beginning.

"It's astonishing—the Autumn Emperor's Slam! Countless powerful racehorse girls are participating in this race, and almost all of them are late! This time, we can't lie and say things like 'a beautiful start'!"

"Oh, but some strong racehorses have still managed to overcome this! Silent Suzuka, Mejiro McQueen, and Meisho Routou have all burst through the gates. Under the pressure of the powerful Kitcho and Tanino Misaki, who among them will be able to emerge victorious under such immense pressure?"

Chapter 352: The Angry General: Step Aside, I'll Take Over!

At this moment, apart from a few trainers, probably no one in the audience knew how badly the racehorse girls were being suppressed under the double attack of Kitcho and Tanino Misaki's [momentum] and [domain]. This batch of racehorse girls from the Autumn Emperor's Slam truly felt the terrifying strength of their senior racehorse girls, who had fought their way through the brutal competition.

Retirement doesn't mean that racehorses can't improve. Although their bodies may have become stronger, and their racing experience may not be as valuable as it was during their active years.

However, for female racehorses, a long period of rest is a great recovery for their bodies and minds from years of racing and competition. Therefore, after a long period of rest, when they go all out again, they can often unleash strength that is no less than that of their peak period.

Moreover, even during retirement, one can continue to hone their "momentum" and "domain" skills. Over time, the more senior the racehorse, the more likely she is to unleash incredibly powerful strength, as long as she hasn't grown too old to run anymore.

Moreover, there are horse girls like Kitcho and Tanino Misaki who haven't stopped training even after retiring, and whose skills have always been top-notch. They've also come here with unwavering determination.

The two girls disagreed at the first moment and unleashed their "momentum" right from the start, which put them in an almost invincible position from the beginning. Because of their level of "momentum", not to mention these rising star horse girls, even if the Good Opera, which is currently on an expedition, came, it would be suppressed if it could not be like Arima Kinen and become one with Wada's horse and rider.

This has nothing to do with strength; it is entirely the strength that comes from accumulated experience. At the Arima Memorial, the biggest difference between Emperor Rudol and good opera was not physical ability, but the experience and strength accumulated over time.

For the other female racehorses in this race, the "momentum" made them feel more oppressed and hesitant to go forward. The biggest influence on them was the two girls' "territory".

Over time, Kitcho and Tanino Misaki have become very clear about the abilities of their respective "Domains". The reason they are activating their Domains now is to distance themselves from the other racehorse girls and prevent them from running freely.

Ji Zhao's domain, which she herself named "Black Emperor," has the effect of exerting immense pressure on other racehorse girls, reducing all their attributes (including aura and domain release), and creating a psychological suggestion that other racehorse girls cannot approach her. The greater the distance she creates, the stronger the overwhelming effect on other racehorse girls—and it is particularly effective in the second half of the year's races, as well as in races at distances of 2000 meters and 2500 meters.

Tanino Misaki's domain, "violent aesthetics," is much simpler and more direct. Besides exerting immense pressure on other racehorse girls, she can also "attack" any racehorse girl that gets close to her. This attack isn't literal; it's more of an intimidation effect that severely psychologically damages any approaching racehorse girl, thus reducing their speed and stamina.

This ability isn't very effective against racehorse girls stronger than herself, but it's extremely effective against weaker racehorse girls with less willpower. Furthermore, Tanino Misaki's [Domain] also provides a boost to her last leg—but this comes at a cost: she must activate her leg nerves every day.

Therefore, Miyu Tanino has a special fondness for lifting railings. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is the quickest and easiest way to activate the nerves in her legs. Through long-term self-training, Miyu Tanino's final leg performance can now reach an astonishing level with the bonus of [Domain].

Of course, neither she nor Ji Zhao were there for the rankings this time. She had simply agreed to Wada's request, exchanging the information she wanted about vodka in exchange. This time, she was going all out to prevent the tragedy in Suzuka.

As for Kitcho, she summoned him with an "irresistible condition." This time, they both went all out to stop Suzuka and change the child's fate.

Now, under the dual pressure of [momentum] and [domain], the effect is quite good. At least these children are already having difficulty even taking a step and running. It's just that they probably won't be able to stir up any waves for a while.

As long as they maintain this pace, the race will end safely. Tanino Miyu thought to herself, having made all the necessary preparations. She and Kichijo tacitly controlled the distance, not running too fast, but also not giving the other racehorse girls a chance to catch up.

Under such immense pressure, how are the other female racehorses faring?

"Ha ha……"

"It's so hard to breathe—the view ahead is blocked."

Under the dual pressure of Tanino Misaki and Kitcho, Silent Suzuka, who had neither awakened her [Aura] nor comprehended her [Domain], was utterly powerless to resist in such a situation. Her first experience was marked by such a vast disparity, causing Suzuka to feel a tremendous sense of disappointment.

Am I really that far from the true peak?

But at this moment, Suzuka felt not only a suffocating gap in their abilities, but also a strong sense of motivation from within—a voice within her urged her to surpass them.

Once she surpasses them, she can reach unprecedented heights, and the scenery ahead will open up before her, allowing her to once again appreciate the view that no one else can see before her.
