Jinlang nodded, then turned his gaze to the other side, where people were also in the row closest to the racetrack. From there, Jinlang could clearly see the Mejiro family's racehorse girls, the old lady, and the symbol of the family.

Why could Jinlang recognize it? Because there, the auspicious symbol of the family was accompanying an elderly racehorse girl, never leaving her side, and both of them kept their eyes on the racetrack from beginning to end, clearly waiting for Rudol's symbol to appear.

"There are quite a few familiar faces here." Wada nodded as well. Just by looking around, he could see that the best spots were filled with people they had met before. Clearly, this Arima Memorial event had not only attracted the general public but had also brought out these heavyweight figures.

"Of course—after all, it's the Emperor's competition. No matter how busy the Patriarch is, he will definitely make time to watch."

"And it's not just the symbol of the home; Donghai is naturally nearby as well. The enthusiasm for this competition is absolutely unprecedented."

In the same row as the Miracle team, Sirius was also sitting with them this time. Rather than watching the game, Sirius was more like a bodyguard. Her job was to ensure that someone here wouldn't be immediately entangled by the Symbol family after the game ended.

She was known as the "rebellious" one in the family, and even if the head of the family was here, she could still buy some time.

"Let's see how well the Emperor is prepared this time. I really hope to see her bewildered face when she is defeated."

"I'm really looking forward to it." Not far away, Representative Chiaki, Narita Shirohito, and Maru Zenki were sitting together. They were all looking forward to the proposal about Sirius and were also curious about just how strong the current Emperor of the East Sea was.

Could they really reach the point of defeating that emperor? Representative Qianming wasn't sure, nor was Qi Gao, but that didn't stop them from eagerly anticipating this moment.

"...Why does it seem like Rudolph, despite being a good president, isn't very popular with everyone?" Jinlang casually remarked, "Isn't there anyone who wants Rudolph to win?"

"Rudolph has won far too many times; we're tired of seeing her win. Now, we old rivals are all looking forward to seeing how she loses." Qianming, however, smiled slightly and pointed to the other side, saying with a grin:

"It's one thing for us old rivals to have been suppressed for so long, but Rudolph isn't as famous as you think. Look over there, we've all been quite restrained."

"?" The direction that Qianming pointed to made Jinlang and his group look over with curiosity, and they found that not far away, Oguri Hat and Tamamo Cross were holding up a large sign with several large characters written on it.

"Go, Emperor of the East Sea! Down with the tyranny of braised tofu!"

Yes, they held it up so openly, even throwing in a pun that Rudolf liked to make a lame joke in response. It's easy to imagine how hard Tamamo Cross and Oguri Hat were working for this chance to "get revenge."

"So, what about the air gauge? Are you looking forward to it too?" Jinlang looked at the air gauge as well. He hoped that the vice president, who usually respected Rudolf the most, didn't think that way.

"...I'm sorry I can't answer that question." Upon hearing this, Qi Cao shuddered and changed the subject.

However, in reality, Qi Kuo was probably the one who most wanted Rudolph to be defeated—ten years of bitter jokes, if she weren't incapable, she really wanted to take revenge herself.

So, Your Majesty, if you truly have the ability, then mercilessly slaughter that piece of braised tofu!

Chapter 594: The Final Clash, Emperor of the East Sea VS. Symbol of Ruduo

"This Arima Memorial is more enthusiastic than ever before. I, Misato Akasaka, have been commentating on matches for so many years, and I never thought I would be able to witness history repeatedly over the past three years."

"And this Arima Memorial will be a scene we have been looking forward to for a long time! The ultimate showdown between the Emperor of the East Sea and the symbol of Rudol! A challenger who admires the 'Emperor' but now wants to challenge the position of 'Emperor'!"

"And in this Arima Kinen, Tokai Teiō also won the undisputed number one popularity! This is the first time since 'Emperor' Rudau has participated in the competition that he has fallen out of the number one popularity in the Arima Kinen."

“This time, everyone is expecting the East Sea Emperor to surpass the ‘Emperor’ she admires, which is surprising.” Junko Hosoe, standing beside her, also smiled gently, expressing her surprise at the results of this popularity poll.

However, in reality, such a result is indeed surprising. In almost every competition that Rudolf, as the "Emperor," participated in, she was the undisputed number one in popularity. Just like in her competition with Good Opera, although it was also a challenge, Good Opera was the second most popular, while Rudolf, who was challenged, was the undisputed number one.

Because Rudolpho holds such a high position in the hearts of the Japanese people—the undisputed "King of Horses," the original undefeated Triple Crown racehorse Pretty Derby—even after the student council president position was abolished, her status remained unchanged. Therefore, Rudolpho's unexpected drop from the top of the popularity rankings this time still surprised many people.

However, in reality, only a few insiders know what's going on—because the popularity vote is completely open to the public. In principle, as long as you can log in to a Japanese popularity vote website, you can participate in the vote. Therefore, strictly speaking, any citizen in Japan, whether human or horse girl, can participate in the vote.

At the beginning of this vote, Lu Duo's symbol was in a very advantageous position, but later, for some reason, a large number of votes were concentrated on the Emperor of the East Sea.

Furthermore, if government officials were to investigate the origin of these tickets through special channels, they would find that nine times out of ten, they came from racehorse girls and trainers at Treson Academy's main campus and branch campuses...

This was partly due to the leadership of student council presidents like Chiaki from the branch campus, but the students at the main campus of Treson Academy did not receive any publicity about the good opera and were encouraged to support the Emperor of the East Sea; their actions were entirely spontaneous.

In other words, the horse girls at Treson Academy, those who usually praise the president's efforts and strength, secretly all hope to see Rudolf lose to the Emperor...

However, don't misunderstand them. The racehorse girls of Tressen Academy are not the kind of ungrateful wretches who forget favors they've received. They all recognize Rudolf's ability as student council president, and they are well aware that their current situation, and even many of the central reforms, are inseparable from Rudolf's efforts.

However, Rudolf had achievements and a good reputation, but he was slightly lacking in popular support. He was not good at speaking or expressing his feelings, and he gave the impression of being a tough and tyrannical ruler who did not like to listen to other people's opinions or ideas and firmly believed that his choices were correct.

Although Rudolph was right most of the time, his tough attitude eventually left a bad impression on many horse racing girls—especially in the early days, when several horse racing girls, represented by Oguri Hattori, had an extremely negative impression of Rudolph.

Although Rudolph improved a lot later and became a kind student council president, most of the racehorse girls from Treson Academy, starting from the middle school, did not have a good first impression of him.

Therefore, there are quite a few horse girls who love the Rudolph symbol, but there are even more horse girls who cheer for the Rudolph symbol when they see it being destroyed.

"Alright, without further ado! This popular stage performance for Arima Kinen is about to begin!"

"First up is our JRA's sixteenth most popular driver, Double Turbo! Before the race even started, Double Turbo declared that he would lead the entire field! So, after his outstanding performance at the last Arima Kinen, where he was once in the lead, can Double Turbo achieve his goal of leading the entire field this time?"

"Next up is the 15th most popular contestant, Haru Urara, who was also invited by JRA and received a lot of fan votes! This is her first time participating in the Arima Memorial, and although the odds are low, we still look forward to her having a great performance in this competition!"

……

Meanwhile, in the waiting area, the East Sea Emperor had already put on her modified final outfit and appeared in front of all the participating racehorse girls. Her outfit was a combination of two final outfits. Overall, it hadn't changed, but the names of the Miracle Team members were embroidered in various places with very eye-catching black lines.

On the most prominent piece, the one on the emperor's left chest close to his heart, the name "Imanami Takatoshi" is embroidered in black lines. Other parts of the front of the emperor's chest also feature the names of the Golden Ship and Mejiro McQueen, all placed in prominent positions.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the emperor's short red cloak, which really had the words "Miracle Emperor" printed on it, making all the horse racers around him look speechless.

"The emperor's aesthetic sense... is really... peculiar."

Not far away, our Miss Nessa, who was ranked third in popularity this time and entered Arima Memorial with Gate 3, was watching the Emperor's decisive battle outfit, which was stitched to shreds, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Empress is very happy. This final outfit is proof that she fought alongside trainer Jinlang and everyone in the team."

Beside Necha, Miyu also appeared here dressed in her final outfit—Miyu's leg injury had healed for some time, and this Arima Memorial was Miyu's comeback match. With Arima Memorial as her comeback, Miyu's popularity was not low this time, ranking sixth.

"Oh, is that so?" Necha, upon hearing this, finally understood. Looking at Mi Yu beside her, she said with envy:

"Ah... I'm so envious. Mi Yu, you've joined the Miracle Team too. I've been working hard towards that goal, but I always fall short in GI matches..."

"Huh? But the Miracle team doesn't care much about results."

Mi Yu was somewhat surprised that Neqia had the idea of ​​joining the Miracle Team but had not yet made the suggestion. She immediately said, "Your strength is quite good. If you make an application, I think everyone will agree."

"Ah... but I can't do it, I haven't even won a single GI game... wouldn't joining like this be a clear case of using connections?"

Necha also hesitated and said, "Miyu, you still have one GI match left, but I haven't won a single GI match yet... I'm too ashamed to join the team like this."

"Mi Yu, you must understand this feeling, right? The anxiety of being with a group of geniuses? It's like I'm the only one who's not good enough..."

"...Everyone on the team is great, right? I think they are all high-quality students. Their view of geniuses is too one-sided."

Upon hearing this, Mi Yu paused for a moment, but finally smiled and said, "However, as long as you think it's suitable, just let me know. I will definitely explain this to the three trainers and then I will definitely be able to recruit you into the team."

"Then I'll thank you very much, Mi Yu."

Necha didn't pay much attention to what she heard, but she still felt more confident about joining the Miracle Team. However, when she looked at the East Sea Emperor who was facing the wall, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Seriously... what are you thinking? Excellent qualities... compared to a genius like this, how could someone like you, a mere runner-up, possibly compete?

There isn't even a single person who wholeheartedly supports you... That's what Necha thought to herself. For some reason, she felt more and more that she hadn't found a suitable trainer. She was still searching and waiting. Like Miyu, she felt that perhaps in the Miracle Team, she still had a chance to meet the person she was looking for...

Just as Necha was pondering this, an aura of absolute authority suddenly swept across the entire area, instantly putting everyone on edge. In an instant, all eyes turned in the same direction, their pupils narrowing slightly.

Without a doubt, this feeling is definitely that of the tyrant!

"Emperor," Rudol symbolizes, she has finally arrived!

Chapter 595: Facing the Person You Most Admire

The new generation of racer girls may no longer be aware of the terror that Rudol symbolizes, because the emergence of characters like Good Opera and Golden Master has shown everyone the true top-tier strength of the hall of fame. In particular, the racer girls who have faced off against Golden Master believe that they have witnessed the most aggressive and oppressive existence among the racer girls.

So much so that some people considered this Arima Memorial, the symbolic appearance of Rudolf, as a match less stressful than the duel with the Golden Master. For example, the fourth most popular contestant in this match, Special Week, and the seventh most popular contestant, Miura Buron, who was planning to finish the match but had to retire due to health reasons, had both witnessed the strength of the Golden Master, so they didn't take the pressure of this match too seriously.

But the moment Rudolbhan stepped into their sight, and with the overwhelming and absolute majesty that accompanied her arrival, all the racehorse girls, including the Emperor of the East Sea, truly felt the danger and terror of Rudolbhanhan at that moment.

This is the true "Horse King." An authority that no one can challenge; even her past defeats cannot change her status as the Japanese Horse King!

"Is this sense of oppression real?"

"Is this the president's full power?"

"Ah... how did the opera graduating class of that year manage to get through it?"

"There's simply no way to resist it."

At this moment, Rudol's signature high heels tapped rhythmically on the ground, and as the footsteps drew closer, the psychological pressure on everyone seemed to grow heavier and heavier, until Rudol's signature figure gradually became clear.

On this day, Rudolf looked extremely serious, completely unlike the kind student council president who used to help everyone solve their problems at Treson Academy. Now, she was attacking as a racehorse girl, which was naturally incomparable to the student council president image she had deliberately cultivated before.

Although Rudolph, as the student council president, could still intimidate others with his authority, he still had to restrain himself to some extent because of this additional role. As for Rudolph's true nature, it is probably now known to very few people.

Irritability, arrogance, stubbornness, and even ferocity are Rudolph's true nature as a racehorse girl. In terms of aggression, Rudolph may not be as prone to outbursts as the Golden Family, but no one wants to see Rudolph truly enraged.

Rudolph coldly surveyed the racehorse girls around him, his eyes showing no pity or care, only the hostility of the racehorse girls staring at their rivals.

Her gaze lingered briefly on the East Sea Emperor, who had turned around, but only for a moment before she looked away and said calmly:

"Break time is over."

"It's time to go on stage."

It was just a simple sentence, but it was as if it were an order that left no room for doubt. Rudolph was the first person to lead the way into the passage ahead, and behind her, the East Sea Emperor was the first racehorse girl to follow without any fear.

The other racehorse girls, after exchanging bewildered glances, followed slowly with expressions ranging from unsettled to flustered to serious, but none of them uttered a word.

At the very front of the procession, alongside Rudolf, the symbol of the East Sea Emperor, after walking a considerable distance, Rudolf finally spoke softly:

"To be honest, I never thought this day would actually come true, Your Majesty."

"You actually walked up to me and are now standing beside me, as an opponent I acknowledge, to compete with me."

Tell me, Your Majesty, at this very moment, has your wish been fulfilled?

"—Not even close, President." Upon hearing this, the East Sea Emperor stopped in his tracks. As Rudolf turned around to wait for her, he noticed a figure behind the East Sea Emperor who was slightly taller than the Emperor, also wearing the same decisive outfit, and whose appearance was very similar to the East Sea Emperor.

This time, the figure wasn't the fleeting glimpse that Heavy Cannon had seen in the dormitory; it was a truly solidified, clearly defined figure, almost like another person. She and the East Sea Emperor gazed together at the symbol of Lu Duo before them, speaking each word with deliberation:

"Only by surpassing you can I consider this my first step." X2

"..." Lu Duo gazed at the Emperor of the East Sea before him, and for a moment he was somewhat dazed.

More than ten years ago, when she had just become an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl, the little girl in front of her was just a little horse girl who had no interaction with her and only admired her from behind.

Now, times have changed. She has become Japan's "Horse King," and that little girl from back then has quietly grown up right under her nose into a powerful racehorse girl who can face her without any fear, and whom she herself considers a huge threat.

Rudolf trembled slightly as he stared at the figure behind the emperor, not out of fear, but out of excitement.

She was thrilled that the child she had raised with her own hands and watched grow up had now the opportunity and ability to surpass her. She was also thrilled that she could raise such a strong racehorse girl and compete with her in the field she was best at.

Just like a fruit farmer picking an apple from his own tree and taking the first bite of the harvest, the sweet and sour taste is so irresistible that Rudolf can't stop eating it.

Yes, she had been looking forward to this day, to the child's growth, and then—to conquer her!

"Then let's give it a try, Emperor of the East Sea."
