However, the words of the East Sea Emperor caused McQueen to fall into an unusual silence. McQueen stared directly at the East Sea Emperor standing next to Jin Lang, and for some reason, he felt an irritating feeling no matter how he looked at him.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and the smile on her face slowly froze; she didn't look happy at all...
Chapter 89: Miss McQueen's Little Unhappiness
"I'm sorry, Miss Donghai, I don't quite understand what you mean."
At this moment, Jinlang was surprised by the words of the East Sea Emperor, but he quickly grasped the key point of the sentence, namely "Chairman".
"I didn't receive an invitation from the president, and Miss East Sea Emperor, your debut competition... isn't this year, is it?"
"Hehe, trainer Jinlang, you don't need to be so reserved. Since you'll be my trainer in the future, you can just call me 'Emperor'."
The East Sea Emperor completely disregarded the implications of Jin Lang's words. She was convinced that Jin Lang would be her future trainer, and she came to make contact with him with the intention of building a good relationship.
Don't misunderstand, the East Sea Emperor isn't like that with everyone. She seems easy to get along with on the surface, appearing to have good relationships with everyone, but deep down she's quite proud. Otherwise, after all this time, she wouldn't have been unable to find a trainer to guide her.
There's only one reason: she doesn't like it.
Even Tojo Hana, the strongest player in Treson Academy, whose trainer even "Emperor" Rudol was personally trained by her, was not satisfactory to the East Sea Emperor. This shows just how demanding her requirements were. Not everyone has the opportunity to make the East Sea Emperor feel that he should take the initiative to show goodwill.
However, the East Sea Emperor felt that Jin Lang was qualified because he was her most valued opponent and the trainer chosen by Megumi McQueen.
The Emperor of the East Sea believed that McQueen's judgment was absolutely correct, and the victory in this match further convinced him of this.
"No, no, no, what I mean is, Miss Empress, you haven't even participated in the debut competition yet, have you? Isn't it a bit too hasty to find a trainer now?" Jin Lang was also speechless for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at McQueen beside him and couldn't help but say:
"Besides, I also need to train McQueen. This was personally requested by the old lady of the Meguro family, so I can't refuse..."
"It's alright! You can teach McQueen while you teach me, right?" The Emperor of the East Sea didn't understand Jin Lang's implied meaning at all and still said with a very happy expression.
"As for the debut battle... Waaaaah! It's all the president's fault!"
"What did the chairman do to you, Emperor?" McQueen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and asked with some curiosity.
The close relationship between the East Sea Emperor and Rudol is well-known throughout Treson Academy. While the common saying among many racehorse girls that the two are "as close as mother and daughter" is somewhat exaggerated, it does illustrate that Rudol personally handles almost everything concerning the East Sea Emperor.
Given these feelings, what could Lu Duo possibly do to displease the Emperor of the East Sea so much that it even directly affected her debut competition?
However, it would have been better if McQueen hadn't brought it up. The moment he did, the emperor's face fell, and he said with a pitiful expression, "Listen to me, McQueen~"
"I could have made my debut this year. With my skill level, I could have easily won the debut competition and then, like my fellow opera singers, competed for the classic triple crown this year. I could have even faced off against you, McQueen!"
"But, but, the president insists that I have to wait another year! She wants me to debut the year after Good Opera and Golden Master have won all three classic triple crowns! Why is that?!"
"While Opera and Golden Master are indeed very impressive, I am the invincible Emperor! How can the student council president have so little confidence in me? Honestly~~~!"
The Emperor of the East Sea's sweet voice made even his complaints sound like coquetry. Even someone as young as Jin Lang couldn't help but feel a little moved and wanted to spoil this seemingly immature child. Of course, Jin Lang wouldn't do that.
But the words of the East Sea Emperor made Jin Lang understand what Lu Duo's symbolic plan was all about. The East Sea Emperor could have made her debut smoothly this year, but Lu Duo's symbolic plan made her avoid the conflict between the opera and the Golden Master, which was undoubtedly the right choice.
Tokai Teio is a racehorse girl who can be described as a miracle, that's true, but if Tokai Teio's goal is to be an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl, then it's right to have her avoid the years of Hoshin Opera and Golden Master.
Because of these two, one is the "King of the End of the Century," and the other is arguably the strongest horse racer in Japan. No matter which one Tokai Teio faces, he has no chance of winning. In fact, if he encounters either of them at their peak... Tokai Teio might be completely crushed and become just a background character...
Rudolphus also considered the Emperor's ideals, which is why he allowed her to avoid fighting these monsters. Once the Golden Master's classic Triple Crown year is over, the East Sea Emperor will reappear, not only having the opportunity to realize her dream of an undefeated Triple Crown racehorse girl, but also having the chance to compete with the still-active Good Opera and Golden Master.
This is undoubtedly the perfect choice, but the arrogant Emperor of the East Sea doesn't understand the concerns of the adults at all.
She's like an egg that keeps trying to smash itself against a hard rock, not stopping until it's broken and bleeding—and most importantly, she doesn't even know she's that egg.
"So, what are your plans, Miss Empress? Are you going to disobey the president and insist on debuting on your own?"
"Ugh... I can't disobey the president... even though I really don't like it..."
Upon hearing this, the East Sea Emperor spoke softly, feeling wronged. She wanted to refuse Lu Duo's so-called "concern," but when she thought of Lu Duo's very serious tone at the time, she didn't dare to disobey.
"Seriously, next year it is! Anyway, as soon as the Golden Master's classic triple crown year ends, I'm going to debut immediately! The era of the East Sea Emperor is about to begin!"
"But I can't be idle this year. Since you're McQueen's trainer, you must be able to train me too, right?"
The Emperor of the East Sea then turned his gaze back to Jin Lang, his eyes shining brightly as he spoke:
"I'm going to train with you and McQueen. This year I'll train myself to become the strongest female racehorse! And with so many amazing teammates in the team, I'm sure I'll grow really fast!"
"Hey, Mr. Jinlang, please say yes, please~"
As he spoke, the Emperor of the East Sea also spoke to Jin Lang in a coquettish tone. If some people who were familiar with the Emperor of the East Sea saw this scene, they would probably think that the Emperor of the East Sea in front of them must have been replaced by a different person.
But in reality, this was also the East Sea Emperor's "tactic." She would do anything to have the same trainer as McQueen!
While the likes of the Golden Master and the Good Opera are undoubtedly more powerful, the Emperor of the East Sea only considered one person as his rival: Megumi McQueen.
They are best friends and best rivals, so the East Sea Emperor will not allow himself to lose to McQueen anywhere, not even to his trainers!
"This..." However, Jin Lang was also somewhat tempted by the words of the East Sea Emperor. Of course, he knew why Lu Duo had assigned the East Sea Emperor to him. It was simply because he was experienced and could ensure that the East Sea Emperor would be injured as little as possible.
For Lu Duo now, the East Sea Emperor's undefeated three-crown title can be put aside for now. What she needs most is the safety of the East Sea Emperor. That's why she made the East Sea Emperor avoid the two most intense years of competition.
She feared that the Emperor of the East Sea might do something beyond her capabilities, thus leading her down a thorny path, just as Jinlang, Ikezoe, and Wada had predicted.
Jin Lang really hopes and is happy to be able to help, but of course, all of this is on the premise that he can gain Megumi McQueen's approval.
After all, the request from Madam Meguro is the most important thing that Ima Ryou cannot ignore right now.
"McQueen, what do you think?"
"...Please allow me to discuss this matter with my grandmother."
However, McQueen's response was lukewarm; he neither expressed great joy at the addition of the Eastern Sea Emperor nor showed any hostility, simply stating:
"Mr. Jinlang, please make your own decision. It's fine to let the Emperor join our team, but please, please don't forget, my training comes first—" However, McQueen paused slightly at this point and silently chose to remain silent.
"...I'm sorry, please forget about it."
What's wrong with me? McQueen touched her head, feeling that something was off, but in the end she just took her slightly overreaction as taking responsibility for herself.
She just wanted her trainer to be responsible for her training... Yes, that's it.
Chapter 90: The Current Situation Within the Team
The East Sea Emperor's application to join the team was not a big deal, especially since it was backed by Lu Duo, the student council president. The application was approved quickly, and the East Sea Emperor joined Jinlang's team as he wished.
At this point, Jinlang became the first trainer in the three-person team to have three racehorse girls. According to the rules of Treson Academy, if he recruits one more racehorse girl, he can start his own team.
"How about I try to persuade Dober to join?" When McQueen looked at the list of applicants and saw the elated Emperor of the East Sea, he smiled and asked Jin Lang:
"Our Mejiro family's racehorse girls are all quite capable, you know. Although Dober might still be a few years away from her debut, and she has a bit of a fear of men... but if we could have her join us, I think Grandmother would be very happy~"
"Uh... I think I'll pass."
Jinlang was slightly taken aback. Looking at Megumi McQueen's kind expression, Jinlang felt that it was better not to accept the proposal.
No one knows whether Miss McQueen was sincere or just saying it casually, but at least, judging from Jinlang's experience, the addition of the East Sea Emperor did not bring the young lady the expected joy...
Therefore, Jinlang felt that he should not even think about the fourth racehorse girl. Miss McQueen was quite strict with trainers. She didn't care when Golden Ship was around, since Golden Ship's training was almost like slacking off. But if it were Tokai Emperor... Miss McQueen would probably be a little dissatisfied that he had to spare some energy to teach other racehorse girls.
Jin Lang was quite impressed by this, remarking that the child's competitive spirit was truly remarkable...
"So, Your Highness, where do you plan to start with your first training session after joining the team?"
"Of course, I'll compete with everyone first!" The Emperor of the East Sea eagerly raised his little hand and said to Jinlang, "I want to challenge my good opera classmate! She won the Satsuki Award, which has three crowns! But the invincible Emperor, I will not lose!"
"Oh right, there's also Raging Waves and Golden Master! Let's all attack together! I definitely won't lose!"
"...I hope you won't regret it."
Jin Lang found it quite amusing upon hearing this, thinking that the East Sea Emperor was indeed arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat, and it was no wonder that Lu Duo had entrusted the throne to him—he was indeed very good at disciplining children.
Although Chi Tian is also capable, his current team doesn't offer a significant boost to the Emperor, and the matter of the Golden Master still requires his attention.
As for Hotan... he's already struggling to teach good opera and the raging waves, he's stretched thin.
"Let him take care of educating the Emperor of the East Sea," Jin Lang said. She understood what Lu Duo meant. She hoped that the Emperor of the East Sea would grow up quickly under Jin Lang's guidance and make fewer mistakes and undergo a great transformation in the debut competition a little over a year later.
This is certainly not an easy task, but Jinlang is confident that, at least, it can polish the rough gem that is the Emperor of the East Sea a little, so that he can suffer less disaster.
"In that case, let's go to the training ground. Wada is there with Nutao and Haogeju training. Your Majesty, you can start with them first."
"Yay! Here we go!" The Emperor of the East Sea couldn't wait to raise his fist and ran towards the training ground with high spirits.
The poor child was clearly unaware of what was about to happen to him. Behind the Emperor of the East Sea, Jin Lang and McQueen exchanged a glance, both seeing a mixture of mockery and pity in each other's eyes.
……
Some time later, on the training field, this internal friendly match seemed to be nearing its end...
"Your Majesty! Your rhythm has gone off again!"
"Aaaaaah! It's all Nutao's fault! She's messing up my rhythm—Oyster~~!"
Finally, after the famous swimmer Nutao crossed the finish line first, the friendly race ended in defeat for Donghai Diwang. She hadn't even finished the race and was completely exhausted when she sprinted on the straight.
The distance of this friendly match was only 2500 meters. It can be said to be one of the distances that the East Sea Emperor is most proficient in.
"Trainer, I won! I beat Emperor!"
"Hmm, well done, Nutao. It seems the special training you've been doing has been very effective."
Hetian nodded gently and rubbed Nutao's little head. Nutao was very pleased and wagged its tail quite vigorously, almost like a small dog.
Since the Satsuki Sho, Wada has noticed that Hao Geju's mood has been unstable. Hao Geju seems to have fallen into the same trap as Nutao before, and only knows how to bury herself in training. However, whenever Wada worries about Hao Geju's condition, she always makes up other reasons to appease him.
However, Hao Geju's daily training was the same as usual. Wada had also observed that Hao Geju was indeed training every day according to his own training plan. For the time being, he had no choice but to put aside his worries and concentrate on teaching Nutao.
Nutao did not disappoint Wada. After failing in the Satsuki Prize, she developed other talents under Wada's guidance, such as setting the pace.
Although Nu Tao's performance in this area is still somewhat immature, at least the East Sea Emperor was caught off guard and suffered a heavy blow. Nu Tao used his immature skills to play him around and he ran out of energy before even reaching the straight road.
"Ha ha……"
"Wow, that's amazing, Raging Waves! Is this the strength of a racehorse girl who can enter the GI arena? Am I really that far behind?" The East Sea Emperor asked, panting heavily, somewhat incredulous.
The Eastern Sea Emperor thought that even if she couldn't compete in GI, she could easily participate in some GII competitions. That's why she recklessly challenged the famous general Nuotao, who was ranked third in the Satsuki Sho, when the opera happened to be out of the way.
However, in reality, even if Nu Tao hadn't learned any other skills under He Tian's guidance, the East Sea Emperor wouldn't have been able to defeat her using only her original tactics.
Nutao was at least third in the Satsuki Sho competition. Although she missed the opportunity due to a misjudgment, there was still a big gap in strength between her and the current Tokai Emperor. She was capable of beating GI, while the Tokai Emperor... she would have a hard time even running GII, and maybe GIII.
"Really—this won't do! Your Majesty, I'm going to become an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl! I absolutely can't lose like this!"
This friendly match also made the Empress tone down her pride a little. She realized that she was still far from being a true GI on the field and needed more training.
"...Huh? Where's the Golden Master? He was just here a moment ago?" At that moment, Nu Tao suddenly noticed the last participant in this friendly match, the Golden Master.
