After tying the laces on her second shoe, the Golden Master stood up again. She adjusted to her new shoes, and whether it was psychological or not, she felt as if the shoes were tailor-made for her, fitting her perfectly.
"Is Japan the strongest? ... I may not deserve such an honor, or I may not be cut out for it."
"But this time, in the debut competition—I will win and show you, Ikezoe."
"I'll show you how the strongest female horse racer in Japan, as you know her, actually wins the race!"
Chapter 64: The Goldsmith's First Delayed Appearance
"The racehorses have started entering the gates one after another, and the race that will determine the only winner is about to begin!"
"They're finally here." Sitting in the audience, Rudolf symbolized that everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of the gate. When they caught sight of the Golden Master's figure, the student council members all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Their biggest worry now is that the Gold Master will be defeated by his own fear, and won't even dare to fight... If he doesn't even dare to participate in the competition, then victory is out of the question.
But at least now that the Gold Master has made his appearance, this debut match has taken a successful first step. So let's see what happens next...
"Suddenly, I feel like the Golden Master is a child we've watched grow up." Qi Kao, belatedly realizing the unexpected tension he was feeling, couldn't help but chuckle as he remarked:
“Even though the Golden Master has nothing to do with us, she’s just a racehorse girl from Treson Academy… we’re so nervous about her appearance.”
“She carries our hopes, our expectations, and not just ours.” Rudol nodded in agreement, saying, “Trainer Ikezoe has made some bold statements, saying she will be the strongest female racehorse in Japan. Shouldn’t we be nervous?”
"...President, do you really think that Golden Master can become the strongest racehorse girl in Japan, just like Trainer Ikezoe said? Even if she hasn't had any outstanding achievements before?"
"If it were a few months ago, I definitely wouldn't have believed it, but since the three new trainers arrived at Treson Academy, one thing after another has happened that is beyond my comprehension, and I've found myself starting to believe in miracles again."
"If Golden Master really has the talent to become the strongest female racehorse in all of Japan, then this is her starting point. How can we not pay attention to her?"
Rudolf said with a light laugh, half-jokingly, but the look in her eyes as she looked at the Golden Master had already undergone a subtle change—although it was still full of care and concern for the younger generation, her competitive spirit as the "Emperor" was also beginning to emerge.
"Look, isn't that Chiaki's disciple?" At that moment, Narita Shirahito suddenly noticed a female horse racer in the arena and said with a slight surprise, "Her disciple is also participating in the debut race, and she's the most popular one."
"I remember her name was... Sitabre? And she was the most popular, a contender for the Golden Master title this time."
"...It seems that Mr. CB's (representative Chiaki) disciple's debut will be postponed."
At this moment, Lu Duo's lips curled up slightly, and the majesty of an "emperor" unconsciously emanated a little when he heard the name "Representative Qianming," causing Qi Cao and Narita Shirohito to glance at him slightly.
It seems that even though their "emperor" has been the student council president for so many years, her competitive spirit has not diminished at all.
……
"Hey, you horse racing girl."
"Why is she running with a mask on? Can she even breathe?"
"She looks so fierce..."
However, the appearance of the Golden Master also drew the attention of the other racehorse girls. After all, it was the first time that a racehorse girl was wearing a mask on the field. Although racehorse girls have special physical characteristics and some racehorse girls have some strange "talismans", a mask... was indeed the first time I had seen one.
But the Golden Master did not shift her attention to the other racehorses. She calmly walked into the gate that she found a bit cramped, taking deep breaths repeatedly in an attempt to maintain her composure.
"Eyes on the track, eyes on the track..."
"—You seem very nervous. Is this your first time participating in a competition?"
However, at this moment, from one of the gates next to the Golden Master, a female racehorse peeked out and smiled at the Golden Master, saying, "Don't be nervous. I was just like you when I first participated in a simulation race, but the more you participate, the less nervous you become."
"This is my first time participating in a formal debut competition, but I'm determined to win."
However, the racehorse girl quickly noticed that the Golden Master's training clothes were different from her own. After a slight pause, she asked, "Excuse me, are you... from Treson Academy?"
"Yes, yes." The Gold Master nodded, trying to appear calm, and said, "I am the Gold Master."
“Really… My name is Seatabre, and I’m from the Central Treson Academy branch campus.”
Like the Gold Master, Sitabre hadn't paid attention to him during their earlier introductions, but now she addressed him like a seasoned veteran: "My teacher is the famous Triple Crown racehorse girl, Chiaki's representative!"
"Representative Qianming... the one who's on par with the 'Emperor,' Representative Qianming?" The Golden Master was also taken aback and subconsciously said, "Wow, you're amazing. You're actually her disciple."
At the same time, a sense of fear arose in the heart of the Gold Master. Wouldn't it be very difficult for him to win?
"Yes! This is my first debut battle. I promised my teacher that I would win the competition beautifully!"
Sitabre clearly regarded the Golden Master as her junior, after all, the Golden Master's reaction was really like that of a novice. Sitabre was initially a little nervous because the Golden Master was a student of Treson Academy, but the Golden Master's naive performance made her relax a lot.
He appeared to be just a junior. At this point, Seatable, considering himself a "senior," offered the Gold Master his advice:
"This race is only 1600 meters, so there's no need to be too nervous. My coach told me that most of the runners or those who were ahead would be sprinters, and the competition at the beginning would be fierce. If you're scared, you can conserve your energy at the back of the pack and then push hard when you reach the sprint straight."
"Conserve your energy, then sprint on the straight..." The Golden Master nodded blankly. She suddenly remembered what Chi Tian had told her before, recommending the running method of chasing horses.
Speaking of which, isn't this how you run to chase a horse? The Golden Master seemed to understand immediately how to run to chase a horse.
"That's right. When everyone is exhausted and can't keep up on the final straight, you can suddenly unleash your full power. You might not win, but you'll definitely make it!"
Sitabre was also very kind and offered his experience to the younger master of gold, but then confidently said, "But I will definitely win! I look forward to the day when you dance beside me on the winner's stage."
The winner's stage dancers mean the second and third place winners. However, Sitabre's words made the initially humble Gold Master pause for a moment, and the smile hidden behind his mask immediately disappeared.
“…That’s not necessarily true,” the Gold Master said almost in a murmur, as if speaking to himself.
At this moment, she remembered the shoes Chi Tian had given her, the ones now on her feet, and the words imprinted on them that forbade her from failing.
She must win this debut competition—not for anyone else, but simply to live up to the praise that Chi Tian gave her!
"Bang!"
"Oh! A major accident has occurred right from the start! The Gold Master is too late!"
"……well?"
However, the commentator's words awakened the Golden Master, who was still making up her mind. She stared blankly ahead and found that the other racehorses had already set off and run a short distance.
"What's going on?!"
Almost instantly, all the mental defenses that the Gold Master had just built up collapsed. She hurriedly ran out, but fortunately, she was fast enough to catch up with the back of the group...
"...Onii-chan, do you really think Golden Master is a very strong horse girl?"
However, in the stands at that moment, the group of racehorse girls who had been called by their trainers to watch the Golden Master's race with great interest almost collapsed. Beside them, Makoto looked at Ikezoe with a slightly suspicious gaze for the first time and couldn't help but ask.
After all, being late is a serious problem. The Golden Master's lateness was about 2 seconds. He seems to have caught up with the team now, but with such a huge mistake, it seems difficult to win.
"Just you wait and see, Karen-chan." However, although Ikezoe could only manage a wry smile, he still said confidently, "A late start might be a big problem for other racehorse girls, but for Golden Master, it's just an appetizer."
Don't ask, the answer is that I'm already used to it. Chi Tian didn't have much to say about it, he could only say that the initial adjustment period with the Gold Master... being late was a minor matter.
Chapter 65: The Gold Master's Monster-like Rage Erupts!
"It's truly a race of speed! The competition among the fourteen racehorses is incredibly fierce! As expected, most of them have opted for a runaway or runaway strategy. The 1600-meter track might not be enough for them."
"Right now, Sitabre is in the lead among the leading horses! Her speed is almost comparable to that of the runaway racehorses! Will she maintain this advantage?"
"It seems that there are some quite outstanding ones among this batch of new horses." Although he didn't hear any racehorse girls whose names sounded familiar, as a trainer, Wada still felt that the overall quality of this batch of racehorse girls was quite good.
Jin Lang nodded slightly, his gaze mainly focused on the two racehorse girls below: one was Sitabre in front, and the other was Golden Master, who was still lingering at the back of the line.
"...Golden Ship, you're the Golden Master's sister, right?" Jin Lang suddenly turned to Golden Ship beside him and asked, "Have you ever run with the Golden Master? What are your thoughts on her running style?"
"Ah, Master Sister... oh... I don't think I've actually run many races..."
The golden ship beside her was also constantly reminiscing about her past memories with the Golden Master. However, the memories were mostly about the sisters playing around and fighting, with little mention of racing.
"Oh! I remember now, it was probably several years ago! Back then, I ran a race with Sister Jujiang, under the guidance of the eldest sister!"
Golden Ship suddenly clapped his hands and said to Jin Lang, "I remember the eldest sister said that Master Sister has the potential to master all running styles, but her biggest enemy is only her own heart."
"Although I don't really understand it either, the eldest sister said these words to me before, and I suspect that she actually said them to every member of the Golden Family."
Golden Ship casually covered the back of her head with both hands, looking nonchalant. However, the "elder sister" she mentioned caught Jinlang's attention.
Based on Jinlang's understanding of Golden Ship, the assessment of this "elder sister" mentioned by Golden Ship is quite apt—for racehorse girls like Golden Ship and Golden Master, their greatest enemy has never been their opponents, but themselves.
The true mastery of gold lies not in where her limits are, but in the level to which she can bring herself to her full potential.
The raging beast within her was like an ocean, and how much could be extracted from it depended entirely on how much the Gold Master himself could scoop out.
Now, 800 meters of the 1600-meter distance have quickly passed, and the goldsmith doesn't have much time left.
……
"Ha ha……"
"Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
The Golden Master had already run 800 meters behind the group, but she was completely unaware of it, still immersed in the embarrassing moment of being late, cursing herself inwardly.
I made such a basic mistake! Now I'm going to make a fool of myself in front of that guy Chi Tian! I made a promise to bring him victory, to at least do justice to the running shoes he gave me, but I embarrassed myself right from the start!
It's all that girl named Seatable! She deliberately distracted me! It must be her fault!
However, the Golden Master, who was filled with a surge of energy, did not notice that she had unintentionally overtaken several racehorse girls. Although she was still at the back of the pack, she was no longer the last one.
Right now, she's less of a racer and more of a member of the runners' troop. However, since there are no runners in this race, she hasn't noticed.
At that moment, the Gold Master's mind was also filled with the techniques about chasing horses that Sitabre had just mentioned.
"Stay at the back of the group, conserve your energy, and then sprint on the final straight."
"No...that girl was distracting me, she was really pissing me, I'm not going to listen to her!"
The Golden Master's mind immediately came to an answer: Sitabray, this racehorse girl, was someone who was distracted by winning and had no sense of sportsmanship whatsoever. Even if her advice sounded right, it should absolutely not be adopted.
And so, a sinister smile crept across the corner of the Gold Master's mouth, which was hidden by his mask.
You want me to chase after the horse? Fine, I'm not going to chase after the horse!
Ikezoe is right. I don't have a particular running style anyway, so why bother thinking about what running style to use—just go for it!
"Imagine the finish line of the race track as Ikezoe..."
The Golden Master closed her eyes slightly, imagining Chi Tian's face ahead of her on the track. Soon, a perfect silhouette was drawn in her mind.
The next moment, all that could be seen was that the Gold Master suddenly opened her eyes, and at that moment her legs also exerted force!
The horseshoe firmly planted a footprint in the grass! The Golden Family's always extremely powerful explosive force was finally manifested in the Golden Master!
"Get out of my way!!"
"—How could this be! The Golden Master! It's the second most popular Golden Master, number eight! She actually chose to unleash her full power! Surpassing number five, six, and number thirteen racehorses!"
"So fast! So fast! The Golden Master has already closed in on the vanguard, completely making up for the distance he was late in one go! What amazing explosive power!"
