"...Who are you?" The Golden Master had no idea who the person in front of her was. Just then, the back of the Golden Master's head was suddenly slapped hard, instantly shattering her serious expression.

When the Goldsmith turned her head to look at the person behind her with a wronged expression, she asked in confusion, "Gold Ship! Why did you hit me?!"

"You idiot, Master Craftsman! Don't you even recognize Ah Gui?" However, Golden Ship wore an expression that said, "My sister is such an idiot," and then, pulling the bewildered Golden Master Craftsman along, pointed at her and asked:

"When you were little, Sister Master, Ah Gui even held you in his arms!"

"Hey? You shouldn't be saying that, right? You're clearly younger than me!" The Golden Master was at a loss for words, while the horse girl, called "Agui," unusually showed a headache upon hearing the nickname, and said calmly:

"They're as noisy as ever, the Golden Family. It's a good thing we split up back then."

"Huh? Separated from the family?" The Gold Master looked at the other party with a blank expression and asked, "Were we a family before? Why, why do I have no memory of it at all?"

“We were all still little back then. Although it’s different from what Ah Chuan said, it wouldn’t be a lie to say that I held you in my arms. It was probably when you were in the stroller.” The racehorse girl casually revealed some things about the Golden Family in the past: “We were just staying there temporarily back then.”

"But later my parents took me away from the Huang family and I never saw them again. We were probably only one or two years old at the time, so it's normal that you don't remember me. I only remembered you after watching your competition and thinking you looked familiar. I asked my parents."

"Then let me reintroduce myself. My name is 'Lady'."

The racehorse girl, wearing a rather conspicuous sun hat, casually uttered her name. Upon hearing this name, the Golden Master's pupils contracted slightly, and his initial bewilderment instantly turned into seriousness.

"...So it was you, the noblewoman who wanted to compete with me."

“That’s right, my teacher also told me about you. I won the Triple Crown for mare, while you won the Classic Triple Crown. But that doesn’t mean you’re better than me.”

The first meeting between the two women was full of tension. As a disciple of the Great Shock, the noblewoman had shown her talent as a racehorse girl since childhood and had been trained as one. This was completely different from the Golden Master who had never awakened his talent before and only developed some strength under Ikezoe's guidance.

However, the noblewoman saw the Golden Master's competition and learned about many of the Golden Master's past deeds. She initially thought the Golden Master was a lucky person who had become complacent due to her innate talent, but after watching the Golden Master's competition, she discovered that the Golden Master had solid basic skills, which was completely different from the Golden Master's past deeds that she knew.

From the moment the noblewoman discovered her talent, she was already being trained as a racehorse girl. The Golden Master had heard that her previous training had been lax, but the foundation she displayed was no worse than that of the noblewoman who had trained since childhood.

However, this question might be answered if the lady could continue to stay in the Golden House—because although the Golden House seems untrained and unreliable, they actually get quite a bit of exercise.

Every day they play and fight at home, and every week they even have survival adventures in the deep mountains and forests. If the racehorse girls of the Golden Family weren't physically strong, they simply wouldn't be able to withstand such torment.

Moreover, it's not just about the race track; it's a true full-body workout and training exercise. Therefore, the racehorses from the Golden Family not only have strong legs, but also top-notch health.

Even the smaller goldsmiths in the family have very good physiques; it's just not very noticeable.

"So, you've come to issue a challenge?"

“Of course, I’m here to challenge you, Master Gold.” The noblewoman openly admitted the purpose of her trip. She had come with Great Shock this time just to meet the Master Gold and make an appearance.

“My teacher highly praises your talent and even thinks you are a racehorse girl who can threaten her position, but I will beat you on the track and show my teacher that she is wrong.”

"That's not necessarily true, maybe I'll win." The Gold Master, hearing this, was also filled with fighting spirit. The two women stared at each other, each saying clearly and deliberately:

"Then, see you at the Japan Cup (Arima Kinen)!" x2

"...Huh?" X2

However, just as the two women said this in unison, the name of the competition that the other party uttered made them pause slightly, but the next moment they said in unison:

"Wait! Why would you go to the Japan Cup (Arima Kinen)?!" x2

The next moment, the two women turned to look at the person who had arranged the competition for them. The noblewoman looked at Da Zhenhan, the Golden Master looked at Chi Tian, ​​and the bewildered Chi Tian and Da Zhenhan looked at each other again, both of them completely dumbfounded.

Ikezoe's shocked expression was also very obvious - how did you guys suddenly go to another event?

Chapter 403: The Person Inevitably Must Be Challenged, The Gold Master's Decision

"What the hell?! Why did you go to Arima Kinen?! Weren't you going to the Japan Cup?!"

"I'd like to ask you the same thing. What's going on with you guys? Arima Kinen's bounty and fan value are clearly higher, right? Why did you give up on that and go to the Japan Cup!"

The noblewoman and the Gold Master were completely bewildered by each other. The noblewoman stared wide-eyed at her embarrassed teacher and asked in confusion, "Teacher, didn't you say that the Gold Master was participating in the Arima Commemoration?"

"No, that's right. I checked the schedule back then, and the Gold Master did indeed participate in the Arima Commemoration..."

"Ikezoe, didn't you say you'd meet a wealthy lady if you ran the Japan Cup? Why is she at the Arima Kinen?"

"I don't know... I saw on the list that the lady was indeed running in the Japan Cup..."

However, in reality, both Ikezoe and Daijin realized that they had clearly thought of the same thing. In order not to trouble the other party to change the competition schedule, they changed their own schedules as much as possible. Now they were heading to both sides, directly switching sides tactically.

Now, the Japan Cup has become a golden era. Arima Kinen has become a lady of leisure, and the two women who wanted to take this opportunity to face off are now running parallel, seemingly with no chance of ever meeting.

After all, Arima Kinen and the Japan Cup are only a month apart. A month is not an easy time for a race, especially for racehorses that run long distances, such as Saima Musume, where the exertion is enormous.

Although the Japan Cup is a middle-distance race, it's also the longest middle-distance race, 2400 meters! It's only 100 meters shorter than Arima Kinen. Moreover, the "Golden Master's" "momentum" and "territory" are extremely taxing. It's quite normal for him to need a month's rest after a race to recover—and that's after the Golden Master rested in Ikezoe's "mental world." You can imagine how much it takes for the Golden Master to run such a race.

A powerful domain often comes with risks, namely, enormous consumption. Fortunately, the Golden Master was able to withstand such intense consumption. If it were anyone else, they probably would have collapsed halfway through the match.

In other words, since their races are not currently together, it means that it is almost impossible for the Golden Giant to take a month off after participating in the Japan Cup and then go to participate in the Arima Kinen with the Lady.

On one hand, the Golden Master's physical strength is likely not yet recovered, and it would be unwise to face a noblewoman in her prime when he is not in top form. On the other hand, the noblewoman herself would not accept competing against a weak and listless racehorse girl, even if the opponent is a stallion racehorse girl.

Therefore, it is rare for a noblewoman to be so angry. If we can't meet her this year, we'll have to wait until next year's competition, which will be several months later. What if the Golden Master is no longer at his peak by then?

Such incidents are not uncommon. Many female racehorses experience a significant decline in physical condition after the classic year, which is caused by factors such as bloodline and constitution. For female racehorses that have been engaged in high-intensity exercise for several months, the probability of accidents is indeed not low.

That's why the lady was furious about this botched attempt. If she had known it would turn out this way, she would have just waited for the Golden Masters at the Japan Cup. Why did she have to ask her teacher to transfer her to Arima Kinen?

"Teacher, can I change my competition event? I want to go to the Japan Cup now!"

“…Ah Gui, even if you are my teacher, I can’t be so capricious as to put you in whichever competition I want. The competitions are arranged directly by the central government. I’ve already done my limit by letting you switch to Arima Kinen. Now that the competitions have been arranged, if you switch back, it will be difficult for your teacher to explain to the central government chairman.”

However, the man who had always been extremely accommodating to his beloved disciple's demands was greatly shocked. For the first time, he shook his head with a bitter expression and refused, saying, "Since things have already come to this, just obediently participate in the Arima Commemoration, A-Gui."

"At least... you might be able to run into each other at next year's Takarazuka Memorial."

"..."

However, the noblewoman did not respond immediately to her teacher's words, but her slightly swaying tail and drooping ears indicated her low spirits.

Even if the noblewoman is unwilling to accept it, there is no way to change the fact that it is now before her. Even if the Golden Master appears at the Arima Commemoration a month later and the noblewoman really defeats her, she herself will not acknowledge this honor—because her victory is not honorable. If she cannot even win against a tired racehorse girl, it can only mean that her strength is far from enough, and winning would be an insult.

"Then that's the only way. Let's postpone our match until June next year, Master Gold."

The noblewoman turned to look at the Gold Master. The noblewoman was better shaped and taller than the Gold Master. In front of her, the Gold Master, who was clearly bigger than the noblewoman, looked like a younger sister. In addition, the noblewoman was steady, serious and rarely smiled, so she did seem much more reliable than the Gold Master.

"Let's treat these two months of competition as a battle between us from afar. I will definitely beat Arima Kinen, and I hope you can also win the Japan Cup."

"Ah...it's a pity that the Opera Queen is injured, otherwise I would really like to see Arima Kinen face off against her this year."

It was a great pity that the noblewoman eventually chose to leave slowly. It was indeed a regrettable thing that she could not compete against the Gold Master in this year's most anticipated competition. However, life goes on, and the noblewoman chose to wait patiently after her regret.

"That's it, everyone, good luck in the Japan Cup!" Before leaving, Da Zhenhan said to Ikezoe and the Golden Master, and then quickly followed the lady and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"...Is this what a shock is? It seems her disciple is very strong."

While the noble family downplayed the Great Shock due to past events, the noblewoman already felt a huge threat. After all, she was a racing girl and the president of the Paris student council, but without the accumulation of time, she could not maintain the composure of someone like Rudolf.

She felt threatened. If the noblewoman really did appear at the Japan Cup from the beginning, as she said, then even the most prestigious families would feel immense pressure—especially with a master like the Gold Saint present.

The Gold Master and the Noblewoman, each of them could be a formidable opponent for the Noble Family on the racetrack. Facing two such formidable opponents at the same time would indeed put a lot of pressure on the Noble Family, especially since they were both Japanese racehorse girls. The Noble Family would tacitly agree that the two women would unite against the common enemy.

"However, it seems that my opponents in the Japan Cup will not increase, which may be good news."

Wangzu thought to herself, but what she didn't realize was that the confidence she had initially had when she came to Japan to launch the expedition, certain that she would win, began to slowly fade after meeting the noblewoman and the goldsmith. Instead, her confidence turned into pressure.

Having already suffered a setback at the Arc de Triomphe, the prestigious family, now heading to the Japan Cup, subconsciously underestimates Japan's Uma Musume, thinking that Good Opera is just an unexpected surprise.

But now it seems... Japan's Uma Musume (horse racer) in recent years has really been full of hidden talents, with so many strong, monstrous-like individuals.

The inner thoughts of the noble family remain unknown. The Gold Master's gaze was fixed on the departing figure of the noblewoman in the distance. She clenched her fist slightly, as if she had made up her mind at that moment.

"Arima Commemorative... Lady, you wait for me."

"I won't leave this battle to next year. We must decide the outcome this year! Just wait for me at Arima Memorial."

The Japan Cup is 2400 meters long, not as long as the Chrysanthemum Festival. I was so anxious about the Chrysanthemum Festival that I recovered within a month and was able to participate in the Arima Kinen... I can definitely do it too!

Chapter 404: Good Opera Officially Becomes President

The incident involving the great shock and the noblewoman was just a minor episode. After a series of celebrations, Rudol took the noblewoman to the dormitory that had been prepared for the racehorse girls on their expedition. The noblewoman also temporarily took her leave. This time, it was her turn to familiarize herself with the Japanese venue.

After all this was over, the members of the "Miracle" team did not return to their dormitories to rest. Instead, they went to the student council according to Rudol's arrangement, where she said that she had something very important to announce.

"Sorry to bother you."

"Everyone! Welcome back! Especially the trainers from Hotan and the great opera singers! A warm welcome!"

"Chairman? What are you doing here?"

When everyone pushed open the door and entered, they found that not only was Rudolf, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, present, but also Qi Cao, Narita Shirohito, and even Maruzensky.

Of course, there was also the very conspicuous Chairman Akikawa Yasei, and Ms. Surugawa Tezuna, who was always dressed in green and smiling to the side.

"Of course! How could I, as the chairman of the board, not be present at such an important occasion? This is one of the most important events for our Treson Academy, concerning the transfer of the position of student council president!" Akikawa Yayoi was also playing with the fan in her hand. She seemed to be in a very good mood, probably because the result of the Wada-Ko Opera expedition had given Treson Academy a great deal of face in the central government.

Not only that, but the victory of this expedition to the Arc de Triomphe of Good Opera has opened up a road to the world. Even if very few racehorse girls can pass through this road, at least they have a road to the world, and this road was opened for them by Good Opera and Wada.

Despite years of effort, the training stations could only barely secure one or two spots from foreign central authorities, and they wouldn't even reserve any spots for Japanese racehorses. Trainers going abroad were basically throwing good money after bad, a one-way trip. This led the training stations to essentially give up on leaking resources.

Now that this channel has been opened, Shadai is no longer the only dominant force. Moreover, the victories of Good Opera and Wada have thoroughly proven that Shadai's long-standing educational philosophy and concept of training racehorse girls were wrong. This can be said to have given Akikawa Ya, who had always insisted on the educational policy of Tressen Academy, a sense of relief.

"Transfer of student council affairs?"

However, Akikawa Yayoi's words surprised everyone, and it took them a while to realize what she meant. Lu Duo, sitting in the student council president's seat, nodded and said:

"That's right, the affairs are being transferred. Good opera, do you remember what we said before? You'll be the student council president one day."

"My resignation and everyone else's resignation have been submitted to the central government and approved. From now on, I am no longer the student council president of Treson College."

"And this position is being handed over to you, Good Opera. From now on, you will be the new student council president of Treson Academy."

"I hope you can live up to this position. Sitting in the position of student council president is not an easy burden, but I hope you can consider the needs of more female racers and help them all embark on a brighter path."

"At least, you can do better than me. We've taken different paths, but I still have high hopes for you, good opera."

"Although the handover has been completed, everyone will still assist you as a senior to familiarize you with the various affairs of the student council." At this moment, Junkawa Tsuna also took the initiative to stand up and say to Hao Geju, "This is not an easy position, but it represents the reputation of our Treson Academy. From now on, you can even represent our Treson Academy."

"So this is my coronation ceremony as the Overlord?" Good Opera smiled and nodded. Even though her acting was always a bit exaggerated, in such a solemn occasion, while retaining her characteristic linguistic style, her expression was undeniably much more reliable as she smiled:

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. I have long been aware of this, so please entrust this heavy responsibility to me."

"Heh, looks like you're ready."

Lu Duo nodded in satisfaction at Good Opera's answer. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, she slowly stood up from her position as student council president and walked to the side, indicating that she was giving her place to Good Opera.

After a moment of silence, Good Opera confidently walked step by step to the student council president's seat. As her body slowly descended, she finally sat down in that position.

The moment she sat down, Good Opera suddenly felt a change in her. Sitting in this position, she seemed to see many student council presidents who had also been in this position, generation after generation—each guiding the school's racehorse girls in their own way.
