"Hahaha! Wada! You've really brought us glory!" Ikezoe patted Wada's shoulder hard, then punched him in the chest, saying excitedly, "The Arc de Triomphe! I never thought you'd actually win! You've shattered the barrier that we couldn't overcome for so many years!"
"Wada-kun, you and the opera have become our heroes; you've ushered in a new era." Even Jinlang nodded in agreement, showering Wada with praise.
"Your victory at the Arc de Triomphe not only changed the world's perception of Japanese horse racing girls, but also opened up a real path to the world for Japanese horse racing girls."
"If in the future, Uma Musume will step onto the world stage because of this path, then you will be their eternal benefactors and pioneers. Wada-kun, what you and Good Opera did this time truly deserve to be called heroes."
"I... I just did what I could."
Faced with praise from his two closest partners, Wada felt extremely uncomfortable and said shyly, "I was even dragging the team down until the very end... It was the good opera that enlightened me and finally made me face myself."
"Speaking of which, what happened between you and the opera?" Jin Lang nodded upon hearing this, and asked with some curiosity, "What... happened between you two?"
"Hmm... I understand now. If I don't leave Good Opera, I will never grow. We have helped each other achieve success, but we have also bound each other. So, I have decided that once Good Opera's career ends, I will terminate my contract with her."
Wada nodded in agreement. After experiencing the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, he had come to understand many things. The scene of Good Opera "throwing" him off his back that day kept echoing in his mind. Although Good Opera never said anything more, this time he had completely understood Good Opera's thoughts.
The termination of their partnership does not mean that their relationship will change in any way. Rather, it represents a determination that from now on, Wada will no longer exist in the shadow of good opera. He will use his talent to cultivate the next "Overlord".
Previously, "Good Opera" had no chance to tell Wada; it could only bite him. But this time, Good Opera has enough time and ability to express its expectations for Wada, and... its deep affection for him.
He doesn't need to stand tall to meet me, but if that's the answer he wants, then good opera can tell him that he's already qualified to do so.
Wada's inner conflict has been resolved. In his lifetime, he has personally elevated a great opera to a divine status. And this time, having resolved his inner conflict, Wada will only become stronger than before.
"No, no, no, that's not what we wanted to ask!"
However, Wada's answer made Ikezoe shake his head in disbelief. Ikezoe patted Wada on the shoulder and asked him with a serious expression:
"We want to ask, after Good Opera proposed to you at the Arc de Triomphe Awards ceremony, what were you two doing during that period of time when you disappeared from the face of the earth?"
"Wada, you didn't finish all your chores, did you? Waaaaaah—!!"
"Ikezoe-kun, there are so many children here, can you please not make lewd remarks here?"
However, before Ikezoe could finish asking, Wada shoved the mask into his mouth to shut him up. Meanwhile, on the other side, the horse girls were talking about the Arc de Triomphe, and even the noble family had joined in. But Ikezoe's words immediately drew all the horse girls' attention to Good Opera.
However, facing everyone's gaze, Good Opera blushed, a rare occurrence for him, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.
"Isn't it?"
"Good opera students...you...really?"
Did the horse jump over it?
Faced with the questions from her fellow horse racers, Good Opera remained blushing and did not answer a single word, neither denying nor admitting it. However, her reaction seemed to confirm what Ikezoe had just said.
Good opera, our "Emperor of the End of the Century" was able to successfully obtain his graduation qualification half a month ago, and according to the number of certain symbols he practiced, the total number of horse jumps was no less than 30 times, which has reached a very proficient and perfect level.
Good Opera also became the first member of the team to officially obtain a graduation certificate, proving that Bawang will definitely achieve whatever first place is, whether it is first place in the competition or first place in graduation.
Chapter 401: An Uninvited Guest, a Great Shock to the Horse Girl Beside Me?
The tacit approval from the overlord at the end of the century caused the horse racing girls, who were still in the innocent stage, to blush. The East Sea Emperor, who was previously completely unaware of the "horse jump" thing, had recently gained a good understanding of this "secret language" called "horse jump" at Treson Academy. It's unclear whether she had obtained some books on physiology and hygiene from Lu Duo or, after being teased by McQueen, had studied a lot of books and consulted many "insiders".
At this moment, the thought that good opera and the trainers in Hotan have really reached that point makes even the proud and noble Emperor of the East Sea blush.
However, no one refuted anything. After all, the relationship between Good Opera and Hotan was almost completely public knowledge at Tressen College. Everyone was speculating and looking forward to when Good Opera and Hotan would finally break through this barrier.
Of course, one female horse racer might not be so excited...
"Alright, let's not talk about our business anymore. Everyone already knows about what happened between us." Wada shook his head, really not wanting to mention what had happened between him and the opera in Europe.
All we can say is that, aside from the final bottom-line issue, they've done everything they needed to do. And Good Opera is probably now focused on waiting for its promised retirement two years from now. By then, the bottom-line issue will have completely disappeared, and they'll naturally get married.
Of course, Good Opera's career as a horse racer may have come to an end, but Wada's journey as a trainer is far from over. He has made a promise to train the next "Hou" himself and take her to the world stage. This is the answer he wants to give Good Opera.
"When I was in Paris, I had already heard from my senior, Jinlang, about Suzuka."
"It's all thanks to everyone that Suzuka is safe and sound, including Nuotao and McQueen."
"I... I just did what I was supposed to do..." Upon hearing this, Nu Tao immediately broke free from his gloomy mood and waved his hand with a forced smile.
"This incident has taught me a lot and even brought about a huge transformation in me. In that respect, I should thank you, Trainer Wada." Megumi McQueen nodded as well. Without this incident, she might not have had such an awakening in the Autumn Emperor's Prize and would not have been able to break through her limits and unleash her talent, let alone achieve her current consecutive victories in the Spring and Autumn Emperor's Prizes.
Therefore, McQueen was very grateful to Wada for discovering this matter in advance, giving her enough perspective to make the necessary preparations. If it were before, perhaps she would have followed the guidance of her dark side in order to win.
"I heard that the Emperor has also participated in the debut competition and won a great victory." Wada smiled and said to the Emperor of the East Sea beside him, "Congratulations, Emperor. I hope you can realize your dream of an undefeated three-crown championship."
"Hehe, thank you, Trainer Hetian. I will work hard." The Emperor of the East Sea smiled shyly upon hearing this, showing no arrogance whatsoever, and seemed to have become much more humble.
"Speaking of which... this racehorse girl must be from a prestigious family, right?"
At this moment, Jinlang noticed the European racehorse girl with golden curly hair who had gotten into the car with Wada and his group earlier. She was noticeably taller. Jinlang greeted her and said, "We were so happy earlier that we forgot to greet you. We are very sorry."
"It's okay, I'm just here to participate in the competition. Besides, I really like the atmosphere in your team."
The noble family, however, did not care at all. After their brief interaction, they had already understood why, despite their talents in opera and Wada, they had not yet established their own sect but had chosen to remain within the team.
This team, and these racehorse girls... are indeed quite unique.
"I came to this competition without many companions. I plan to emulate my sister's courage when she went on a trip to Paris and face the challenges ahead on my own."
"It seems that Miss Noble Family is determined to win the Japan Cup this time." Jin Lang nodded upon hearing this. However, in reality, according to his memory, Miss Noble Family would probably still suffer a defeat in this Japan Cup.
In the original world, the Noble Clan went on a trip to the Japan Cup, where they faced off against Special Zhou, who was known as the "General of Japan." In this match, Special Zhou displayed his great power and defeated the Noble Clan, who had defeated the Divine Eagle at the Arc de Triomphe.
This time at the Japan Cup, regardless of whether Special Week will participate, the combination of the Golden Master and the Noblewoman is truly even more threatening. If the Noble Clan is indeed the same as in the past, then this battle, which she sees as a chance to avenge her defeat, may not have a good outcome...
"Oh, so you're my opponent in the Japan Cup?"
The Golden Master only just realized that the Noble Clan's trip to the Japan Cup meant they would inevitably run into her. Her words immediately drew the Noble Clan's attention, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly and ask:
"Oh? Could it be... you are the Golden Master, the racehorse girl known as the 'Golden Tyrant'?"
"You know me?" The Gold Master was also slightly surprised. She didn't think her fame was that great, that it could reach as far as Paris.
“My sister, ah, the opera queen, always talks about you to me. She also told me that if I go to Japan Cup this time, you might be my biggest opponent.”
Meanwhile, the noble family squinted at the Golden Master. The Golden Master looked just like the opera king she had first seen when she was on an expedition. She didn't seem particularly impressive and didn't appear to be a very strong racehorse girl.
However, having learned from the experience of the opera, the current elite family no longer judges people by their appearance. In particular, the opera itself has repeatedly told her that "if she were to compete against the Golden Master now, she wouldn't be guaranteed a victory." This speaks volumes about the Golden Master's formidable strength.
Moreover, the Golden Master is the same age as her, and both women are classic year horse race girls, which is different from the good opera that uses the peak performance of the ancient horse year to meet the noble family.
"I watched your match before I came here, and I have to say... it was really impactful. Your strength is terrifying to me."
"Perhaps next year, as the student council president, I will extend another invitation to you at the Arc de Triomphe, Master of Gold."
"Of course, I won't hold back in this Japan Cup match either; I've made ample preparations."
"Then you'd better watch out, I'm also planning to take first place."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Master narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that her opponents in the Japan Cup were about to increase, not only the noblewoman, but also a member of a prominent family.
Even so, her playing style will absolutely not change in the slightest. She will defeat her formidable opponents with her strongest performance; this is her playing style and the victory she seeks.
So, let's deal with the noblewoman first, and then settle things with this powerful family...
"Everyone, we've arrived at Treson Academy."
Just then, the Mejiro family's luxury car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Treson Academy. After Wada and his group got out of the car, they discovered that the entrance of the academy was already crowded with people waiting. The people at the head of the group were undoubtedly the members of the student council.
"Get ready, let go!"
"Bang!" X2
Two more cannon salutes were fired without warning, but this time, the crowd, who had been mentally prepared, were not frightened. Only Wada looked helpless and smiled faintly after seeing the situation, saying, "We really have become heroes."
"Don't misunderstand, Trainer Hetian. We're not just here to welcome your return, but also on behalf of Treson Academy to welcome the esteemed family."
Rudolf stepped forward with a smile, greeted Wada and his entourage, and then addressed the noblewoman in fluent French: “Welcome to Japan, Miss Noblewoman.”
"I hope that we can have a friendly conversation this time, and that we can have a great match with our classmates in the upcoming Japan Cup."
"Thank you, beautiful 'Emperor'."
The noble family responded to Rudolf's symbol in Japanese. Although her Japanese was not fluent, at least there were no problems with communication.
“I’m really looking forward to the match against the Gold Mage. Her strength is undeniable. Also, I’d like to know who else is participating in this Japan Cup besides the Gold Mage? I want to get to know them all.”
"Well..." However, before Rudolf could answer, a voice from the side interrupted the atmosphere.
"Hi everyone, did I miss something? What day is it today? It's so lively."
That voice—However, upon hearing this female voice, the Golden Master instinctively looked to the side, and sure enough, he saw that Da Zhenhan, dressed in a jet-black decisive outfit, was walking straight toward the group from Treson Academy.
Beside her was a racehorse girl with a striking sun hat, long chestnut hair, medium build, and excellent looks that exuded a heroic air, but with a cold expression, closely following Great Shock.
Who was that person? The Goldsmith didn't recognize her, but she sensed a long-lost feeling of threat emanating from the unfamiliar racehorse girl...
It was as if the aura emanating from her was restraining her.
Chapter 402: The Noblewoman's First Meeting with the Goldsmith
"A huge shock? What brings you here?"
Rudolf Symbol also hadn't expected that Great Shock would come to Treson Academy at this time. This was certainly not a coincidence, but rather something Great Shock had deliberately done. As for the racehorse girl beside Great Shock, although it was the first time Rudolf Symbol had officially met her, he already knew her name.
"Isn't this... Da Zhenhan?" The noble family also recognized Da Zhenhan's figure. Da Zhenhan was a Japanese racehorse girl who went to the Arc de Triomphe back then. Although she did not win the title, she still made a great appearance - but this appearance was undoubtedly in a derogatory sense.
Although the noble family was not as old as the Great Shock, and was considered a descendant of the Great Shock and Rudolf, the noble family, who did not know much about the truth, still held a slightly contemptuous attitude towards the Great Shock when they thought of that scandal.
Even with their disdain, the noble family was somewhat puzzled. Why was Da Zhenhan here? Who was she specifically looking for? Surely she wasn't here to see her?
"Oh, I see some familiar faces. Isn't that the Opera King returning victorious from the Arc de Triomphe?"
The kind-hearted Da Zhenhan never cared what others thought of her. Even when she sensed the slight disdain in the eyes of the nobles, she seemed oblivious and approached the crowd, praising the opera with sparkling eyes:
"The younger generation is getting stronger and stronger! You've fulfilled a long-cherished wish that many of our predecessors couldn't achieve, and you've really given us a boost. You're truly remarkable!"
"Especially you, Trainer Wada, you really are an outstanding trainer. The expressions on the faces of the old men at the training ground when you won the victory at the Arc de Triomphe were unlike anything I've ever seen in my life~"
"Uh... Senior, you flatter me."
Wada Kazuyo Opera was also slightly surprised by the arrival of the Great Shock. Wada himself had not had much contact with the Great Shock, but he dared not be negligent in the slightest towards this racehorse girl whose status and position in the Central Government were very high.
"So, senior... are you here for the victory celebration? If so, I can extend a warm welcome on behalf of the team."
"Hehe, I appreciate your kind offer, but I'm here to see another member of your team to spend time with my child~"
The great shock smiled gently, making way for the racehorse girl behind her to be seen by everyone. As she slowly walked out, she went straight to the Golden Master, her expression cold yet somewhat confrontational, and said to him:
"Nice to meet you, Master of Gold."
