In other words, the other opponents in this match were quite sensible. Everyone knew that the two strongest opponents in this Japan Cup were the Golden Master and the Noble Family, so they didn't interfere too much in their match. This was the Golden Master's good fortune; otherwise, the outcome of this match might have been hard to predict.

If, as she thinks, she wants to attend the Arima Memorial in a month, then her recovery... will really require her to be glued to Ikezoe almost every day.

Even so, as long as there's even a sliver of hope of participating in the Arima Commemoration... she'll go and settle things with the noblewoman.

As the Gold Master thought this, she silently raised her head and looked in one direction. There, she could clearly see the noblewoman and the Great Shock sitting there, applauding her victory.

The Gold Master stubbornly raised his hand, holding up one finger to indicate that his victory was merely the first GI match after the classic three-time champions.

She'll win the second game right away, the next one is Arima Kinen!

……

After the match ended, Golden Master slowly walked towards the passage. This time, she found that everyone in the team was waiting for her. Golden Master's gaze immediately locked onto Chi Tian at the front, and she ran up to him with a happy little step.

"Orphie, you won beautifully this time!" Chi Tian, ​​unconcerned about the goldsmith's current sweat-drenched state, reached out and ruffled her golden hair, whispering:

“I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to keep up with the physical demands of participating in the Japan Cup right after the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, but it seems I was overthinking it.”

"Hehe, that's good. It's worth it for Onii-chan and me to tutor you so diligently, Master~" Makoto, standing to the side, smiled and nodded, raising her eyebrows slightly as she teased the Golden Master.

Now, both Makoto and the Golden Master are tacitly aware of their feelings for Ikezoe. Makoto tolerates the Golden Master's close contact with her older brother for training, and the Golden Master tacitly accepts the fact that he would never be where he is today without Makoto and Ikezoe.

The three of them suddenly became an inseparable part of each other. Both Maki and Golden Master have significantly improved their strength because of each other. Maki can now be said to have dominated short-distance races in Japan. If she can maintain this advantage into the second year, she may become the only racehorse girl to enter the Hall of Fame through short-distance races.

The Gold Master has become a true "Golden Tyrant," and no matter how much she doesn't want to admit it, she has to accept the fact that she and Shinjiro "share" Ikezoe, even though it makes her somewhat unhappy.

However, Shinji's words puzzled the racehorse girls. Even Wada and Ima didn't know the truth behind the rapid improvement of the Golden Master during this period. Only Emperor and McQueen, who had witnessed that moment, blushed slightly, obviously thinking of that rather... dissolute scene.

"Hey everyone, you're all here."

"Huh—that voice... is that the student council president?!"

The first person to react was naturally the Emperor of the East Sea. Only then did everyone notice that Lu Duo, dressed in ordinary clothes, had somehow appeared in the passageway and greeted them softly, saying:

"Everyone, sorry, I've been out and about for a few days, really relaxing—wait, where are the good operas?"

"Good opera has been incredibly busy lately, we're overwhelmed with paperwork every day." Standing beside him, the furious Wada smiled wryly at the relaxed and even seemingly better-looking Rudol, whose skin appeared to have improved.

"We've been so busy since our president left."

"Hehe, so you understand why I left so quickly, right?" Lu Duo replied with a joking laugh, showing no shame whatsoever.

"President...you seem to have changed?" The East Sea Emperor was also surprised by Lu Duo's response and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Hmm? This is the real me, Your Majesty. Also, didn't I say you don't need to call me Chairman anymore? I'm no longer the Chairman. Just call me Rudolf-senpai."

"Oh right, everyone, I have something very important to tell you all."

Lu Duo, with one hand on his hip, stood with a seemingly relaxed posture, yet his majesty remained undiminished, befitting his former "Emperor" status. Only after everyone in the Miracle Team had taken their stance seriously did Lu Duo chuckle softly:

"I wonder if the members of the 'Miracle' team need a good female horse racing assistant? I'd like to stay with the team for a while and offer some help to everyone."

Chapter 409: The New Assistant, Rudolf's Symbol

"well--?!"

"Wow, the guild leader wants to join the team?! Really?! Guild leader?!"

However, Lu Duo's words surprised everyone in the "Miracle" team. It wasn't until the East Sea Emperor, with a sharp, surprised and incredulous child's voice, stared at Lu Duo and said this that everyone came to their senses.

"Really? Rudolph? You really want to join our team?" Jin Lang, the backbone of the team, looked at Rudolph in disbelief. However, he soon realized the reason why Rudolph made this decision.

Without a doubt, there's no need to overthink things if you're only concerned with the prospects of the "Miracle" team. Although the Miracle team has been the top team at Treson Academy for the past few years, and they're expected to become the next strongest team of the year in a while—a title only Ms. Tojo Hana's team has ever held—that's enough to prove their strength.

Even without Rudolf Symbol, the "Miracle" team would still have this prestigious title. After all, the fact that Good Opera won the Arc de Triomphe and that the two Triple Crowned Regattas would have guaranteed their team the title of the strongest of the year. At this point, Rudolf Symbol's offer to join the team was certainly not to ride on their coattails.

She came for the sake of the Emperor of the East Sea, or rather, she came because she was worried about the Emperor of the East Sea. In fact, after she resigned so early and handed over the position of president to the Good Opera, during the time she disappeared, she must have been taking the Central Trainer Qualification Certificate exam, right?

Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense. However, all of this confirms one premise—Rudolf Symbol probably no longer wants to continue as the student council president.

Arima Kinen's performance was a meticulously planned match. She seemed to have used all her strength, but in reality, she didn't really use her full power. She held back while making the match very entertaining. After giving the broadcasting station a hard slap in the face, she also took the opportunity to step down, which greatly affected the broadcasting station. In this way, she not only got rid of the hot potato of the chairman and regained her freedom, but also lived up to the trust placed in her, entrusting the future of Uma Musume to someone better.

Thinking about it this way... Rudolf killed three birds with one stone: he tricked the Central Committee, tricked the Central Committee, and rightfully regained his freedom, and no one will say anything.

Jin Lang, who only figured all this out today, looked at Lu Duo Xiang Zhi with a rather fearful gaze—no wonder she was rumored to have been taught the art of rulership from a young age; everyone had been outmaneuvered by her.

"What's wrong, Trainer Jinlang? Is there something on my face?"

"Nothing... I just think... Rudolf, you're really powerful."

Jin Lang smiled knowingly, and Lu Duo, upon hearing this, knew that his plan had been seen through. However, having already achieved all his desires, Lu Duo felt neither ashamed nor regretful. Instead, he smiled gently and said:

"I just did what I could. Although this may not seem friendly to our newly appointed opera queen, don't worry, I will personally help her get familiar with the work when I have time."

"I've been quite busy lately, since I need to take the Central Trainer qualification exam in order to become a new trainer and work in the teams of other senior trainers."

"Although I had some opinions on the reform of the Central Trainer certification, I have only now truly experienced how difficult it is to obtain the Central Trainer certification..."

When this was mentioned, a rare look of melancholy appeared on Lu Duo's face. Clearly, although the qualification exam had not lasted long, it was quite difficult for Lu Duo. Moreover, she was the one who had promoted this reform, so it could be considered that she was reaping what she had sown.

"Fortunately, I finally overcame the difficulties and obtained the qualification certificate."

As he spoke, Lu Duo also showed everyone the qualification certificate he had been holding, which clearly bore the words "A-level qualification certificate" and a central seal, proving the authenticity of the certificate.

"So, everyone, can you accept me as a horse trainer who has extensive racing experience but is a complete novice when it comes to the work of a trainer?"

"There may be many aspects that I don't fully understand, but I will try my best to share your burdens."

"Ah, if you need, here is my resume. I'm all set to go through the proper application process to get this new job."

As she said this, Lu Duo also handed Jin Lang her resume, which she had prepared long ago. She knew very well that Jin Lang was the backbone of the team, and Jin Lang's opinion was the most important factor in whether a team could add a new member.

Just like Naze Fumino back then, the reason why Naze Fumino was able to join the team smoothly and become a hardworking and dedicated member of the team was largely because she was impressed by Imanami's personal charm and ability at the beginning - of course, Naze Fumino's later infatuation with Wada is another matter.

In fact, Rudol still had some reservations about joining the "Miracle" team. After all, although the racehorse girls of the "Miracle" team were strong, they had a fatal problem - that is, the impure relationship between the racehorse girls and the trainers had actually evolved to an unfathomable level.

Although his own emperor is not currently affected by this environment, Rudol symbolizes that just by looking at the good operas and raging waves of Wada, as well as the golden master and true genius of Ikezoe, even his most trusted trainer, Ima-nani, has actually fallen into this strange vicious cycle.

This gave Rudo a strange feeling while she respected the three trainers of the "Miracle" team. After all, Wada was almost ready to start a new relationship with the opera, and as far as she knew, Trainer Ikezoe had already let go of his inhibitions and faced his own heart.

Although the current trainer is the most reliable one, Rudolf has a feeling that he will eventually run into problems in this area as well.

Fortunately, Rudolf is very confident in herself. Regardless of the current atmosphere within the team, she will absolutely not fall into the trap of "romance." She is past the age of dating and has no such thoughts anymore.

Moreover, Mr. Jinlang seems to be a very serious trainer. Lu Duo symbolizes absolute confidence, and he can ensure that his heart will not waver after joining the team.

Therefore, Lu Duo made this decision with great determination and confidently handed over his resume to Jinlang.

However, just as Jin Lang took Lu Duo's symbolic resume, his arm was immediately grabbed by the Emperor of the East Sea. The next moment, the Emperor of the East Sea said to Jin Lang in a coquettish tone:

"Hey~ Delinquent~ Hurry up and let the guild leader join the team~ You absolutely have to let the guild leader join the team, okay~"

"This..." Seeing the East Sea Emperor's pitiful appearance, Jin Lang first looked at McQueen and the Golden Ship with questioning eyes, asking for the two women's opinions.

"Chairman... no, Rudolf's joining would indeed be a great help to our team." McQueen also analyzed very rationally, "If you, Trainer, have no objections, I also agree."

"I don't care. If the president's presence can make the Emperor and the Golden Ship stronger, then it's fine~" The Golden Ship also looked very relaxed, obviously not taking the Rudol symbol to heart.

Seeing that his three teammates all had this attitude, Jinlang turned his gaze to Ikezoe and Wada. After receiving their gentle praise, Jinlang put away Rudolf's resume and smiled warmly:

"Then, welcome to our newest member. The symbol of Rudol is to welcome you to our family."

“I am deeply honored to join the ‘Miracle’ team.” Rudo was also overjoyed at his smooth joining and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “From now on, just treat me as your assistant. As the ‘Emperor,’ I will do my best in whatever job I am given.”

"Yay! The president has joined too! That's great!"

The person most delighted by Lu Duo's symbolic addition was undoubtedly the Emperor of the East Sea. The thought of being able to be with his favorite guild leader filled the Emperor with extraordinary joy.

She couldn't wait to spend the whole day with Rudolf.

Chapter 410: The Eastern Sea Emperor's Favoritism?

"Hey, President~ please teach me your winning move! My competition is coming up soon, and I need to participate in more matches, so please teach me quickly~"

"...Your Majesty, I'm no longer the guild leader. Didn't I already say you could just call me Rudolf-senpai? And why don't you go find Trainer Jinlang?"

In the days following Rudol's joining the "Miracle" team, the somewhat somber atmosphere within the team, which had been dampened by Naze Fumino's abrupt departure, seemed to undergo a significant turnaround. Rudol's addition further enhanced the team's prestige within the school—after all, as the former student council president, Rudol's efforts for Treson Academy were undeniable, and most of the racehorse girls held him in high esteem.

Of course, this also puts a lot of pressure on the new student council president, our good opera lady. To embody the respect that the racehorse maidens have for Rudolf is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a few months, but rather requires accumulated work and diligence.

To become the student council president, brilliant achievements alone are not enough. You also need to make accumulated contributions and put in effort for the Uma Musume (Horse Girls). These cannot be proven by self-evaluation or self-pity, but are entirely based on the evaluation of others.

However, at least Good Opera is trying to overcome the difficulties, and everyone, including Wada, is helping the new student council president establish her authority.

Now, within the Jinlang team, Rudo, who joined the Miracle team as a rookie trainer, has become the busiest assistant in the Jinlang team. The situation in Wada has basically stabilized, and Ikezoe does not need to worry about the changes in the East Merchants for the time being. Jinlang, the only one with three active racehorse girls, is undoubtedly the trainer under the most pressure in the team.

This perfectly aligned with Lu Duo's idea. She had joined the team to take care of the East Sea Emperor. Although she could conveniently take care of the East Sea Emperor while in the "Miracle" team, it was much easier to do so within Jin Lang's team.

But now, Rudolf's symbolism suggests that the nature of the problem has changed...

The emperor... isn't he being a little too clingy with her?

"Your Majesty, your trainer is Mr. Jinlang. I am just Mr. Jinlang's assistant."

"Ugh—but aren't you a trainer too, President? As a trainer, shouldn't you help the racehorse girl solve her problems?"

However, the Emperor of the East Sea did not follow this tactic. Having spent a long time by Jin Lang's side, the Emperor had begun to learn the art of persuading people with reason. Although she often used this method to spout twisted logic, this time she still spoke to Lu Duo in this way:

"Now, Your Majesty, I will become stronger! Please, Trainer Rudol, teach me to my heart's content!"

"...Even if you say that, I actually taught you what I could teach you a long time ago."

Lu Duo was quite helpless about the East Sea Emperor who was pestering her. From the day the East Sea Emperor entered the school, Lu Duo had seen her talent. Although she only guided the Emperor's running style, which the Emperor learned by imitating Lu Duo, Lu Duo had also passed on several of her own unique skills to the East Sea Emperor.

Even so, after Lu Duo joined the team, the East Sea Emperor spent every day with her. He would only train properly if Lu Duo was present during daily training, otherwise he would immediately throw a tantrum. This forced Jin Lang to put Lu Duo in charge of supervising the East Sea Emperor's training.

"Hehe, I've already mastered the skills of dragging Na over there, so it doesn't matter who I learn from~" The East Sea Emperor didn't care at all. Having admired Rudo Symbol since childhood, she quickly developed a good relationship with Rudo Symbol after entering Treson Academy. Her admiration for Rudo Symbol grew into a relationship that was almost like family. All of this was extremely natural.

Back then, Lu Duo was still the student council president, very busy every day, and didn't have much time to spend with the Emperor of the East Sea. But now, Lu Duo has regained his freedom and is even in the same team as the Emperor.

As if to make up for the lost time in the past, the current Emperor of the East Sea really wants to be by Lu Duo's side 24 hours a day, and Lu Duo has no reason to object to this.

"I know all about the training schedule for the 'Torna,' and I've also successfully debuted as the Emperor. If you, President, could keep an eye on me, I might work even harder during training!"

"Alright, alright, President, let's run together in training! I can't wait to run with you!"

"If Your Majesty can really train seriously... that would be good."

"I feel like I've suddenly gone from being a trainer to one of the team's main racehorse girls." This was also what Lu Duo was thinking, but he still followed the East Sea Emperor's wishes and began training with her.

"A child's mentality will only last a week at most, right?" Lu Duo thought to himself. "At most a week, the Emperor of the East Sea should wake up from his novelty and return to his normal state, right?"

For now... let her be willful for a while. It's fine, at least with her by my side, she can keep an eye on the emperor's training.
