However, since they transmigrated and became trainers, they went from being riders to commanders, so weight management became an area where they could relax. Therefore, it was okay to indulge a few days, as long as they didn't lose their figure...

"Hehe, Onii-chan and the others are having a really tough fight, we can't lose!"

Makoto also raised her glass with a smile. Of course, as racehorse girls, they completely abstain from drinking alcohol, which may be harmful to their health. Even the students in the student council cannot drink alcohol at all. This has nothing to do with whether they are adults or not. The main reason is that they are afraid that alcohol will affect the racehorse girls' health and racing career.

"Let's celebrate our beloved opera singer becoming the new horse girl, the trainer for Wada! Cheers, everyone!"

"Yes, yes." Nu Tao's ears twitched nervously, making it hard to tell whether she was shy or a little unhappy, but at least she didn't seem particularly excited.

"Hahahaha! Now, please look forward to my performance as the Overlord!" Good Opera recovered quickly, making no attempt to hide his narcissism, and said with great enthusiasm:

"I, the Overlord, will never lose any competition, and now I have received my strongest support. I believe that Ryuji will definitely lead me to a wider stage!"

"Speaking of which, it seems like Opera student and Trainer Wada got to know each other really quickly." Zhenjiling glanced at Nutao, whose emotions weren't particularly high, and asked with a sly smile:

"We've only known each other for two months, and she only joined the team today, yet she can already call Trainer Wada by his first name!"

"Ugh... I'm not really sure, maybe it was just involuntary?"

However, even the opera singer herself didn't know how to explain it. Only later did she realize that after the competition ended, the moment Wada hugged her, she had unconsciously called his name. It all felt so natural, just like their usual interactions—very relaxed.

So relaxed was the fact that Good Opera only now realized it was being a little too natural, but even realizing this, Good Opera didn't seem to want to change, simply continuing to speak with its usual ease:

"It doesn't matter! This is how one should be intimate with the ministers who assist me, the Overlord. This is the trust that comes from me, the Overlord! Hahahaha!"

"clang."

However, at that moment, a slightly abrupt sound reached the ears of the other two racehorse girls. At that moment, Good Opera and True Clever looked over and discovered that the sound of the man, Raging Waves, putting down his cup seemed a little louder than usual.

It was only slightly larger than expected, so much so that the three trainers were completely oblivious and continued drinking enthusiastically. However, the opera singer, familiar with the timid nature of the renowned dancer, was surprised by this clear expression of his dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiling was initially surprised, but then she couldn't hide the sly smile on her face.

Zhen Jiling's level of skill is far beyond that of those love-struck nobodies at Treson Academy. She can see that, although it has only been two months, the timid Nutao has been able to unleash such power and courage, which is definitely related to her usual interactions with her trainers.

Zhen Jiling prefers Nutao, after all, she has spent more time with Nutao, and she also believes in the concept of "first".

A later, great opera suddenly overtook The Raging Waves—which was amusing, but Makoto didn't want to see it happen. Especially since… she had a formidable rival she was quite wary of.

Therefore, she felt that she should enlighten Nutao at this time, lest this insecure child miss something because of his cowardice, and then regret it too late.

"Um, I'm sorry..." Nu Tao belatedly realized that his emotions had been too volatile, and timidly apologized to everyone.

Just now, for some reason, when she heard that the opera singer was so familiar with her trainer, even closer to her than she was to the trainer, she felt an extremely unpleasant feeling welled up from the depths of her heart, so much so that it even showed in her movements.

But... I feel so uncomfortable. He was supposed to be my trainer from the start... why... I only worked so hard to get my good opera classmates in... but why can't I feel happy now...?

"Hehe, it's okay, because even if the atmosphere is awkward, Karen-chan will use her cuteness to lighten the mood~"

The clever girl smiled and said, "Ah, Karen-chan is going to water the flowers, so please excuse me~"

With that, Makoto quietly left the scene, leaving only Ryutō and Kogeki, two familiar horse girls, on the racehorse girl side. Kogeki then smiled and said:

"Raging Waves, you're truly remarkable! You actually managed to defeat me, the Overlord! But I'll definitely win next time!"

"..."

However, to everyone's surprise, Good Opera's words did not receive a response from Nu Tao. Good Opera looked over with a little curiosity and found that Nu Tao had his head down and his ears were drooping. Good Opera could vaguely hear Nu Tao muttering something, so he leaned over with a little curiosity.

"No, I won't give it to you..."

"Raging Waves? What did you say?" Good Opera asked again, not having heard clearly. The next moment, Raging Waves' face turned completely red, and it seemed as if tears were welling up in his eyes, but he still spoke to Good Opera in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, extremely shyly:

"Even if you're a good opera student, the trainer won't let you have it."

When Nu Tao finished speaking, his cheeks were so red he wanted to crawl under the table. However, after a slight dilation of his eyes, Hao Geju immediately understood the meaning of Nu Tao's words.

"So that's what happened..."

Sigh... I feel a bit stuffy in my chest, and suddenly I can't seem to feel happy anymore. Right now, having just joined the troupe, what should have been a powerful and energetic opera performance has been dealt a blow by this sudden setback, leaving me completely bewildered...

Chapter 59: Fine Opera: What's Mine Will Ultimately Be Mine

Ryuji Wada was unaware of these minor frictions between Good Opera and the famous general Nutsou. Even Shinjiro was unaware of how things would ultimately unfold. At least when they left the hotel the next day, Good Opera was as high-spirited as ever, and Nutsou was as cautious as ever, as if nothing had happened.

They quickly returned to Treson Academy, but a small accident occurred during the process.

"Ugh... I pulled a muscle, but it's nothing serious. It's probably because I didn't pay much attention to it after the race, which caused a little swelling."

In the infirmary of Tressen College, the attending physician also wrapped some gauze around Nu Tao's legs. After arriving at Tressen College, Nu Tao suddenly showed some discomfort in her legs, and He Tian naturally did not take this matter lightly and immediately brought her to the infirmary.

The final result was a relief for Wada; a muscle strain is a minor problem for both racehorses and people.

"Take good rest during this time and avoid strenuous training. You will recover quickly."

"Thank you, doctor," Wada said with great gratitude, while Nutao slowly stood up with the help of Haogeju.

The group had just left the hospital, and outside, Chi Tian waited anxiously. Seeing He Tian and the others come out, and Nu Tao with his leg wrapped in bandages, his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously stepped forward and asked, "Nu Tao, are you alright? How badly are you injured?"

"It's a minor issue, just a muscle strain. He'll be fine after some rest." Wada's reply relieved Ikezoe. As riders, their biggest fear was that their horses would have health problems. Hearing that Nutao was alright, they were immediately at ease.

"Waaah... I'm sorry, trainer, but I can't train like this..." Nu Tao said softly, feeling very aggrieved. She regretted not reporting it in time when she had sensed something was wrong yesterday, otherwise she might have recovered faster.

Nu Tao is worried that this will affect his competition schedule, and if it delays his training, it will be a loss.

"Hahaha, my most beloved subject, Nutao, don't worry, I, the Overlord, am here!"

At this moment, Good Opera laughed loudly without any pressure. This overlord said confidently, "Raging Waves, you just focus on recovering from your injury. Leave the honor of our team to me!"

"Yes, Nutao, take good care of yourself during this time. It's not a very serious injury; you'll be fully recovered in a week at most." Wada nodded, patted Nutao's head, and reassured the racehorse girl who lacked confidence, saying each word carefully:

"As for good operas... even if I don't tell you, you know where our next stop is, right?"

“Satsuki Sho, right?” Good Opera answered the question very easily, and she was now determined to make a run for her own classic triple crown. Although the undefeated triple crown had already passed Good Opera away, she was determined to win the honor of being a triple crown horse!

The Satsuki Prize is just around the corner, and Good Opera only has one month to prepare. Judging from Good Opera's current performance, its qualification for the Satsuki Prize is secure and there are no problems.

"Then, the opera starring me will resound throughout the world following my victory at the Satsuki Prize!" Good Opera declared, utterly self-satisfied, and with an effortless ease, grasped Wada's hand, saying with deep emotion:

"Come, my trainer, let's conquer that mountain together, you mighty overlord!"

"Okay!" And it was rare for Wada to get so carried away with the opera; rather, he was actively matching the opera's emotions.

Of course, Wada is determined to win the classic triple crown this time. Last time, due to his mistakes, he lost two of the classic triple crowns that should have been his for the taking, but this time, Wada will not make the same mistake again.

He's going to take home the Satsuki Sho, the Japanese Derby, and the Kikuka Sho – the classic triple crown! And it's not just these three GIs; he's going to win back all the other GI matches he missed out on!

Seven crowns are definitely not the limit for a good opera. This time, Hotan wants to make a good opera surpass the legend of "The Emperor," even if it means facing several blockades.

Is it just a matter of blocking them? Do you really think he's been doing nothing all these years? Even if all the other trainers from the company unite to uphold their so-called "glory of the Seven-Crown Emperor," he will personally break through that ceiling—together with Good Opera.

“Um, trainer… I also want to participate in the Satsuki Prize.”

However, at this moment, Nutao, feeling that he had been ignored, hurriedly tugged at Wada's sleeve and asked anxiously, "I... I should also be eligible to participate in the Satsuki Prize, right? After all, I won the Daily Cup against my classmate, Ko-kaku... and stuff..."

"Satsuki Shono... this..."

However, Wada suddenly realized something was amiss – the competition schedules of Meishou Nutao and Hao Geju were almost overlapping. Their clash in the Mainichi Cup indicated that their competitions would now be very close. Hao Geju finished second in the Mainichi Cup, but with her victory in the Seiryu Sho, she was certainly qualified for the Satsuki Sho.

As for Raging Waves, achieving first place in the Daily Cup and starting the classic treble can be said to be quite difficult. But even if it does start... wouldn't this just mean that Raging Waves will start the history of fighting against Good Opera again?

Most importantly, Wada had been working hard to help Good Opera win the Classic Triple Crown, and he was worried that Nutao, whose overall strength might be slightly stronger than Good Opera, would take Good Opera's triple crown away a month later at the Satsuki Prize.

But if Good Opera wins, wouldn't Nu Tao be heartbroken? What if they clash over the competition proceedings with Good Opera? Wouldn't that be letting Nu Tao down?

For a moment, He Tian couldn't help but start to think, but He Tian's silence was interpreted in a completely different way by Nu Tao.

Nu Tao subconsciously bit his lower lip. He thought about how Tian had been so confident, saying he'd team up with his opera classmates to aim for the classic triple crown, but now he hesitated when it came to his own… and a tightness settled in his chest…

"What's wrong... Does that mean good opera students can participate, but I can't?" Nu Tao said in a sour tone, but as soon as he said it, he was startled by his own words.

What did she just say? Why would she say those things to the trainer?

The trainer clearly takes such good care of me. My hesitation just now must be because I was worried that I would affect Hao Opera's dream of winning three championships. I... I shouldn't have affected Hao Opera's dream.

"Alright, Ryutō, I'll sign you up for the Satsuki Prize this year."

However, unexpectedly, after some deliberation, Wada ultimately decided to send Nutao to the Satsuki Sho. Looking into Nutao's eyes, which were slowly regaining their luster, Wada encouraged him, saying:

"Whether it's you or a good opera, I will treat them equally. If Nutao wants to participate in the Satsuki Award, then I will register you."

"But before that, you need to heal your injury first. I can't allow my racehorse girl to step onto the track with any hidden dangers. So, get ready, Raging Waves."

"--Um!"

Nu Tao, having received He Tian's approval, nodded vigorously with delight, and the feeling of frustration in his heart instantly vanished.

As expected, the trainer is such a kind person. I'm so lucky to be with him, a racehorse girl like myself.

"Ah, is it another duel between this overlord and his most favored minister? How—something to look forward to."

Upon witnessing the intimate actions between Nutao and Hetian, Haogeju unconsciously tightened his grip on Hetian's hand, using exaggerated gestures to mask his emotions as he said:

"But next time, I, the Overlord, will face the enemy with a completely new look! Alright, my trainer, let's go practice our advance!"

Good Opera couldn't help but recall the words Nu Tao had said to him yesterday. He hadn't slept well all night, repeatedly recalling Nu Tao's words... and her memories, which were like shattered glass.

Although she didn't quite understand, Good Opera had made up her mind... She felt that by staying by Wada's side, she would definitely be able to figure out the answers to these questions.

I'm so sorry, my most beloved subject.

What belongs to the overlord, if it was not bestowed upon you by the overlord, you cannot take away.

Chapter Sixty: The First Clash Between the Gold Master and the Clever Genius

Meanwhile, Wada and his group were using the Satsuki Sho as a starting point to begin a new round of training and rest. However, for Ikezoe, his debut battle for Shinki-rei was still far from over, and he still had plenty of time to make thorough preparations for Shinki-rei's debut battle.

"Onii-chan, Karen-chan, is it really true that I can't run middle distances? Not even mile races?"

"Karen-chan, you saw the training you did before. Compared to endurance, you are no match for middle-distance and long-distance racehorses. Instead of starting endurance training from scratch, which won't yield results overnight, it would be better to focus on training for short-distance races."

On the playground, Maki, dressed in a gymnastics outfit that was different from most of the racehorse girls around her, revealing her two long, white legs, asked with a smile, but was rejected by Ikezoe.

To be honest, Ikezoe only recently learned that the training outfits for mares and stallions are different depending on the racehorse girl. Although Ikezoe was curious why there was such a distinction when everyone in the world is a racehorse girl, since it was a common understanding, Ikezoe didn't ask any further questions.

But most importantly, Maki, being a mares, is different from the other stallion racehorses. Their training outfits are all long trousers, but Maki, being a mare, wears super short trousers—they can hardly be described as trousers.

Because of the imbalance in the ratio of stallions to mares at Treson Academy, racehorse girls dressed like this are extremely rare—Ikezoe wanted to remain calm, but things didn't go as planned.

"Um, Karen-chan, why don't you go and change into some long pants?"

"Hehe, don't worry, Onii-chan. Karen-chan is a Uma Musume, you know, I'm not afraid of the cold at all~" Makoto initially smiled and misunderstood. It was the second half of March, and the weather in Japan was still unpredictable, making it easy to catch a cold.

However, Zhen Jiling quickly realized what Chi Tian meant. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't back down. She said mysteriously and teasingly:
