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

What unsettled Jin Lang was that at that last moment, he seemed to see a faint, enigmatic smile on Godolphin's face—at least, Jin Lang felt it was definitely not a benevolent smile.

Chapter 528: The Mindset of Today's Youthful Generation?

After the current wave and the emperor of the East Sea were expelled from the spiritual world, in a moment of confusion, their consciousness returned to their bodies. The moment they opened their eyes, it was as if nothing had happened, and they were back in front of the familiar statues of the three goddesses.

"That was..."

"This can't be taken as a dream."

However, once Lang and the Emperor regained their senses, after exchanging bewildered glances, they realized that what they had just experienced was definitely not just a simple hallucination. Instinctively, they both placed their hands on their bodies, touching themselves thoroughly, searching for any further changes.

"But... it still feels like nothing's there? I don't feel relaxed, and I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."

The Emperor of the East Sea touched the forehead where Godoffin had tapped him earlier. The lingering sensation was still there, but apart from the warm feeling at that moment, the Emperor didn't feel that anything about him had become special.

Jin Lang felt the same way, but the image of Godofen's wicked smile in the last second before leaving the world of the mind was still lingering in Jin Lang's mind, making him subconsciously feel that something was very wrong.

In particular, Godolphin said something that made Jin Lang feel uneasy: "A youthful mindset is perhaps what you need most than a youthful body." However, at this time, Jin Lang did not notice any changes in his body or mindset.

However… thinking about it carefully, even the three goddesses couldn't directly change a person's essence, could they? Nor could they directly transform a person into another, even with the slightest difference. If you make a choice that isn't your own, you're no longer yourself. Therefore, Jin Lang doesn't believe that Godolphin can directly change his personality.

However, the three goddesses could not possibly be the kind of beings who were just making a fuss... Therefore, Jin Lang still felt that there must have been some changes in his body, but he just didn't realize it.

"Regardless of what has happened to our bodies, it will take time for us to gradually feel it." Jin Lang suppressed his doubts and said to the East Sea Emperor beside him:

"Your Majesty, let's go back first. There's still a long time before the chrysanthemum viewing, we..."

However, Jin Lang's words suddenly caught in his throat and he couldn't continue speaking. As Jin Lang's gaze turned to the emperor, for some reason, he suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him seemed to have become somewhat different from usual.

It's true that the East Sea Emperor is very small in stature. However, as a horse girl, she has always had a great advantage in terms of appearance. Even among a group of horse girls who are generally pretty, the East Sea Emperor's face, which has not yet fully developed, can be considered exquisitely sculpted.

This is why the Emperor is so popular among his predecessors in Uma Musume and among his peers. People's first impression is based on appearance. Even if most people don't say they are superficial, they will still have a better first impression because of good looks, which is normal.

If your appearance is unpleasant to look at, few people will be interested in exploring the beauty within you—this is a very real problem. Fortunately, the East Sea Emperor doesn't need to worry about this at all. Her inner kindness is very endearing, just like her beautiful appearance, which is as lovely as her soul. Everyone would like a child like this.

—Wait, why am I thinking about this?

Jin Lang subconsciously realized that his thoughts were more active than ever before. Usually, he only thought a little more when he was working. In his daily life, he tried his best not to think too much. Because of his old age, he was used to speaking freely. Communication was almost ingrained in his bones. He knew when to say what and rarely said anything wrong. He truly spoke freely without crossing the line.

But now, he felt his thoughts and ideas were becoming active again, and the direction of this activity was somewhat off.

It's like... back in my own time, when I was young, when things weren't as open as they are now, and many ideas could only be confined to my mind.

"...What's wrong, dragging Na down?"

Jin Lang's unusual behavior, which was only halfway through his sentence, immediately alerted the Emperor of the East Sea. However, the emperor, whose anger had already dissipated, reverted to his usual spoiled childlike self, and naturally and familiarly took Jin Lang's hand to bring him back to his senses.

However, in that instant, just as the emperor's hand touched Jin Lang, it was abruptly pulled away. Under the emperor's gaze, Jin Lang immediately created a small distance between himself and the emperor, leaving the emperor somewhat caught off guard.

"Drag Na down? What happened?"

"...No, it's just a feeling. I think I know what Godolphin did to me."

However, after wiping the soft touch from the girl clean off his trousers, Jin Lang finally realized what Godolphin had done to him and what this so-called "young mind" was all about.

To put it bluntly, what Godolphin did for Jinlang was probably to make his thinking more agile, closer to his way of thinking when he was young. In Jinlang's era, young people were not as open-minded as they are now, but not being open in terms of expression did not mean that they could not think. Therefore, in Jinlang's era, most of the so-called "Showa men," or even those from before the Showa era, although they were not good at speaking and male chauvinism was prevalent, actually had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

Unfortunately, Jin Lang was the same way at that age—who hasn't been young? He was a veteran rider who won many championships and experienced many temptations and things. Therefore, although he never crossed the line, he had thought about such things a lot.

It's just that as he got older, his status changed from junior to senior, so he had to be more respected and dignified. Later on, he really did become that kind of person.

However... what Godolphin did to Jin Lang really gave him a headache. If one's mindset starts to revert to youth, especially when surrounded by such beautiful women, it would be an extremely difficult thing for any young person with a youthful mindset.

Especially now, Jin Lang has already felt the changes this way of thinking has brought him—even the emperor, who is like a child, makes him subconsciously keep his distance from the other party. Obviously, this is not treating the other party as a "child", but as a "younger woman".

This made Jin Lang even more unable to accept it, even though he knew that the emperor was no longer a child...

"...Your Majesty, please take this time to train properly. I also need to readjust to my current state."

"During this time, focus on your cultivation and experience the changes that the goddess has brought to your physique... For now, try not to have too much contact with me."

"Huh? Why?!"

As soon as Jian Jinlang finished speaking, he strode off in the other direction without stopping, catching the East Sea Emperor completely off guard. She instinctively wanted to chase after him, but seeing Jian Jinlang avoiding her like this, she pouted, clearly puzzled, and said with dissatisfaction:

"Honestly, you could have just told me if anything was wrong! You idiot, you're dragging me down!"

However, after venting her dissatisfaction, the emperor did begin to pay attention to her own changes, but she really didn't feel any changes in her physique.

The goddess didn't make her legs instantly stronger, but she still blessed her and told her to explore on her own. However, she had no idea where she discovered the change.

"It must be your legs, right? Why don't you try running a few laps?"

The emperor wasn't entirely sure, but he still decided to give it a proper test.

"Then let's run a few laps with all our might and see what changes occur!" The Empress had made up her mind; she didn't believe the blessings of the Three Goddesses would be in vain.

Chapter 529: Is the young old man short-tempered?

Jin Lang returned to the team room alone. However, along the way, he once again felt the influence of the goddess on his thoughts, which was truly beyond his imagination.

As one of the three trainers of Team Miracle, and even the undisputed backbone, Jin Lang could be recognized by most of the trainers and racehorse girls he encountered at Treson Academy. They would greet him very respectfully to show their respect and friendliness.

This was originally just a very ordinary greeting. However, back then, Jinlang, who had a very old mindset and considered himself an elder, only saw a group of children. But now, with the "blessing" of the three goddesses... let's just call it a blessing for now, many of Jinlang's long-dormant thoughts began to stir again.

Even though it's just a casual greeting, I can't help but let my mind wander, with thoughts like, "Am I pretty popular?", "I feel like I have quite a few fans," "It feels so good to be respected," and "Am I prettier than Ikezoe-kun?"

These thoughts wouldn't exist in Jin Lang's mindset when he's older—elderly people don't care much about their appearance anymore. After all, with age comes fading beauty, and they just want to be as clean as possible, avoiding any "old person smell" that might affect others. What's the point of worrying about their looks? It's not like they're in their twilight years...

But now, with a more youthful mindset, Jin Lang is experiencing this youthful transformation. He was young, handsome, and full of vigor before; he enjoyed honor, respect, and prestige—what hadn't he experienced? He was indeed immersed in such an environment before…

However, as he grew older, his thinking gradually became simpler, and his past honors began to fade into the past. Jin Lang slowly began to understand that the peak of his life had passed, but he could still do more for himself, for what he loved, or for the industry where there were no other options, and realize his value.

However, did he never miss his peak, his youth? Of course he did, and this feeling is easy to get lost in again—and Jin Lang realized this, which is why he left without even saying goodbye to the Emperor of the East Sea.

However, just the short distance from the Three Goddess Statues back to the team room, Jin Lang experienced several times the process of gradually losing his rationality and then immediately pulling himself back. Only he knows how arduous the journey was.

Back in the team room, Jinlang finally breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a long breath, he muttered to himself:

"I must say... it's truly worthy of the Three Goddesses' methods. Gods are indeed different; they can bring about such a huge change in a person in an instant."

"But maintaining this state is a headache... I can't make calm enough judgments like this, and it will affect the training of these children... I need to find a way to control my young heart and not do anything impulsive."

Don't misunderstand, this momentary impulse is different from the "impulse" of Hotan, who now indulges in opera and the roar of the waves almost every day, and drinks health supplements and medicinal cuisine to keep his life hanging by a thread. This impulse refers to Jinlang's fear that his temper from his youth has affected his current judgment, making him prone to impulsive decisions like an emperor.

During his years as a jockey, Jin Lang was a renowned rider who won several championships. Back then, when he was full of vigor, he was not as frustrated as Wada and Ikezoe are now. One of them used to be a burden, and the other always regarded himself as a limiter that made him unable to race. Although they were both famous riders, the level of frustration they experienced was nothing like that of famous riders.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the status of Japanese jockeys has gradually declined after aligning with international standards, and that European and American horse racing has gradually taken over the market. However, the old man had already retired at that time. He was a veteran jockey during the golden age, and his status in the central government at that time was self-evident.

This also means that the old man actually had a very bad temper when he was young, and his personality was extremely competitive. His attitude and tactics on the field were also very aggressive.

How radical is he? If Jin Lang is truly young and impulsive, then his assessment of the current well-known riders in the central government might be considered "too conservative."

Wu Feng's team is always slacking off, lacking ambition! Their tactics are conservative! This has led to missed opportunities! Conservative!

Ryuji Wada's whip was fast, but it wasn't strong enough for a slow-moving racehorse; it was too weak!

Kenichi Ikezoe's tactics were aggressive, but he lacked the strength and power to push the horse forward effectively, failing to effectively communicate commands and even causing it to be thrown off! Shame on you, you bastard!

This is probably what Jin Lang's temper was like when he was young. If he had really been with these people back then, as a fellow rider from the Central team, he could have made these three juniors feel utterly ashamed. That's no exaggeration.

In other words, he's gotten better-tempered with age, and getting bitten by horses is commonplace for him. And whether it's because he's spent so much time with horses or because of the advantages of being a stable boy, Jinlang has always been very popular with the horses. Golden Ship and Pure Radiance are among the most mischievous horses Jinlang has ever encountered.

—With a temper like his, he's really not suited to educating racehorse girls. This is what gives Jinlang a headache. What he hates most is making big promises in the heat of the moment without even thinking—and he used to really be like that.

Therefore, Jinlang has decided to get his temper under control again. Otherwise, his current state—unable to concentrate and prone to anger—is not suitable for educating these children...

Just as Jin Lang was thinking this, suddenly, a voice rang out, causing Jin Lang to tremble involuntarily.

"So this is it, the headquarters of Team Miracle - I've finally found it."

"Upon closer inspection, isn't this His Majesty's current trainer? It's been a long time."

A confident and charismatic voice rang out at that moment. The person who came was obviously very confident, and you could tell from the voice that she was a cool woman. Moreover, Jin Lang knew who it was.

As Jin Lang's gaze slowly turned, he discovered that Sirius Symbol, dressed in the school uniform of Treson Academy, had somehow entered their team room and was acting as if it were his own territory. He sat in Jin Lang's seat, his feet haphazardly propped up on the table, making a mess of it.

To be honest, at first glance, Jin Lang was also attracted by his own male instincts. He sighed that Sirius was indeed the only one in the Symbol Ranch whose status was second only to Rudol Symbol. Whether it was her aura or her appearance, she was in no way inferior to Rudol Symbol's prestige.

Moreover, she has an exceptionally good figure, possessing the confident and capable aura of a career woman. Her long legs, which can be described as striking, combined with her handsome face, would be a huge shock to those with a tomboyish sensibility.

To be fair, anyone who's pretty is fine with Jin Lang, but this scene only caught his eye for a short while.

When Jinlang saw his desk in such a mess, and Sirius had his legs propped up on it, he suddenly felt like he was about to have a stroke...

No, no, Takatoshi Imamiura, calm down... Sirius is just that kind of racehorse girl. She's just a bit carefree and doesn't care much about the rules of the older generation... It's not that she doesn't know manners.

Jin Lang also took a while to calm himself down, and after taking another deep breath, he asked in a weak, soft voice:

"Sirius, how did you get into our team? Where did you get the key?"

"Hmph, then I must say, your emperor's 'daughter' (the emperor) is really easy to fool."

Sirius, upon hearing this, triumphantly swung the key in his hand and tossed it to Jinlang, saying smugly, "A few apples are enough to make that kid obediently hand over the key. He's even easier to fool than a child."

"Speaking of which, you still haven't dismissed our Emperor? She and her child, whom she treats like a daughter, have caused you quite a bit of trouble these past few days, haven't they?"

"Why are you so narrow-minded? They are all shrewd and dangerous, and once they get involved with Symbol Ranch, it will be hard for you to escape."

Chapter 530: Jin Lang: Look at my temper!

Sirius's purpose in coming this time was actually very simple: to see Jin Lang. Previously, her understanding of Jin Lang was only superficial. Now that he was the designated assistant trainer chosen by her emperor and the person she had chosen to be the trainer of that child (the Emperor of the East Sea), he must have some extraordinary abilities.

In addition, Sirius came here this time to remind Jinlang. According to the information she received, Symbol Ranch has begun to pay attention to Jinlang. Symbol Ranch is willing to make its number one racehorse girl, and even the future head of the family, Rudolf, humbly become the trainer of the other party's assistant. Of course, Jinlang was quickly targeted by the people of Symbol Ranch. However, Rudolf has been suppressing this matter so that Jinlang has not found out.

However, the matter concerning the head of the Meguro family was somehow discovered by the Symbol family. Now, according to Sirius, the current head of the Symbol Ranch, Speed ​​Symbol, has decided to send his clansmen to contact Jinlang after learning of this news.

A promising talent that catches the eye of the Meguro family head is a hot commodity wherever they go. The Symbol Ranch's actions were not as quick as Meguro Ranch's. Meguro Ranch was the first to target the Miracle Team and turn the team's advantages into profits to revitalize the family's existence.

Symbol Ranch only noticed the talents of the three Miracle Team trainers later, but by then it was too late. The Miracle Team's falling out with the Confederates demonstrated their stance: they would not become appendages of other groups or conglomerates. Because of the Confederates, Symbol Ranch had no intention of antagonizing them and let the matter drop.

But who could have imagined that what seemed like a futile attempt would actually result in the egg breaking the rock? Symbol Ranch could only helplessly watch as the Golden Family, the Mejiro Family, and the Central Family devoured all the resources of these communities, leaving nothing for those families who hadn't participated.

The head of the family watched helplessly as the Mejiro family, which had begun to decline, suddenly returned to its peak, and the rising Golden family also quickly gained a foothold. He felt bitter but helpless.

However, it must be said that this time, the three trainers of Team Miracle have truly gained the attention of all the horse racing families and ranches in Japan. They have all realized that each of these three trainers is an invaluable talent to their families.

Now, news of the rift between Imai and Mejiro McQueen and the Mejiro family has spread among the various families in Uma Musume. As a result, many families have their eyes on Imai's talent, especially Symbol Ranch, which has always hoped to consolidate its position.

Rudolf, who had been the "Emperor of Uma Musume" for ten years, was defeated by the Miracle Team's excellent opera. In addition, the "Golden Tyrant" who suddenly appeared this year also came from the Miracle Team, which is enough to show the outstanding talent of the three trainers. Rudolf Ranch also hopes to use the abilities of the three trainers to train the new generation of Uma Musume girls of the Rudolf family, and strive to train a few of them to become the new generation of "Uma Musume Queens".

Among them, Imai is naturally the number one target for the symbol ranch. His ability is considered by the other two to be the highest in the team, and he is a senior who can be respected by Ikezoe and Wada, and even the entire team.
