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

He was like a horse trainer who refused to accept defeat, being thrown off time and time again, but in order to conquer his beloved horse, he would get up even if he was covered in wounds.

But this time, his horse seemed unwilling for him to continue suffering.

"Enough—enough! Ikezoe, sit down!"

Finally, overwhelmed by guilt and remorse, the Golden Master exploded. She sat down on Chi Tian and forcefully pressed his body down.

Before Chi Tian could react, he saw the Golden Master straddling his body, his eyes trembling slightly as he questioned:

"What are you doing?! I'm not worth you doing this!"

"I just wanted you to help me train. I already wanted to quit, so why are you more insistent than I am!"

"Could it be that my potential is more important than your own safety?!"

"...That's not how it is, Master." Chi Tian was pinned to the ground by the Golden Master, and it took him a long time to react to the Master's question. However, he seemed to collapse to the ground with a sense of relief, his eyes fixed on the twilight, and he spoke softly:

“Master, the challenges we face are greater than ever before… Haven’t you noticed? Whether it’s the issues between Jinlang and Megumi McQueen, or the current matters with Hotan, Good Opera, and Nutao… Have you noticed that while our team’s record is constantly improving, the challenges, fears, and pressures we face are also increasing with each passing year?”

"Good Opera has only won two awards, yet it has already faced so much apprehension from the outside world. And Master, you will not be able to truly embark on the path of the classic triple crown until next year. Do you think that when we get on the right track next year, the challenges we will face will be no less than those faced by Good Opera now?"

"The enemy we face may be even stronger than we imagine, Master... At this moment, we must seize the opportunity and become stronger as quickly as possible..."

Aside from the relief that the training method was effective, Chi Tian was actually more anxious. His collaboration with the Golden Master hadn't progressed much, and the Golden Master's efforts to stimulate his potential hadn't worked at all.

Ikezoe gazed at Wada, who was under immense pressure, and at Ijinami-senpai, who was helping Wada with his strategies while Ikezoe was dealing with external doubts. As the only one of the three in the team who had not yet achieved any results, Ikezoe was being ignored by the media. How could Ikezoe's pressure be any less?

His pressure didn't come from feeling that his two female racehorses were disappointing, but from himself, from not being able to do anything for Wada and Ima-nani. Facing the media, he sometimes couldn't even protect himself, so how could he help the two of them?

He can only do his job well. Make the Gold Master and the True Mechanic even stronger, thus silencing all the doubters!

Chi Tian knew that the Golden Maestro could do it; after dominating the Classic Triple Crown with Great Opera, he was next. And if she could unleash her potential before aiming for the Classic Triple Crown next year…

Then, I fear the doubts from the outside world will only grow louder. Chi Tian doesn't want to see that happen, which is why he's so anxious and focused on nurturing the Gold Master.

Dominating Japanese races alone is not enough; they need to defeat many foreign female racehorses, not only in the Japan Cup but also in races abroad!

"Does it really have to go this far?" The Gold Master gritted his teeth slightly, asking with great incomprehension:

"Who exactly is our enemy, Ikezoe! Tell me! How many powerful enemies must we defeat before we are recognized!"

"...Probably, I'll have to defeat all of Japan's Uma Musume (horse racers)." Ikezoe chuckled bitterly, collapsing weakly to the ground as she replied listlessly.

"That's probably not enough. Even if a good opera were to rival the Emperor, it might not necessarily receive particularly good reviews... We must prepare for the worst."

"Only by breaking out of Japan and stepping onto the world stage can we gain the true recognition of those people. Before that, we may have to fight against many, many forces..."

Yes, it's often not foreign horse racing shows and organizations that cause trouble, but rather the central government and local organizations within Japan itself. They don't allow certain myths to be broken, and some of them are unwilling to see stronger horse racing shows emerge.

Therefore, only by breaking out of Japan can they truly challenge the current environment of Japanese horse racing, and only then can they truly conquer everyone and make their voices resonate with them.

"To break out of Japan...?"

At this moment, the Gold Master also fell silent. She knew that Chi Tian's goal was very ambitious, but she did not expect that Chi Tian had such high expectations of her.

Not only does she want the classic triple crown, but she also wants to break out of Japan... which means... could she possibly compete in other places? Where? China? The United States? Or... the Arc de Triomphe?

But no matter where it is, it is an extremely distant goal for the current master of gold. She was somewhat silent and lacked confidence, falling into unprecedented contemplation.

……

It wasn't until nightfall that Chi Tian returned to his team office. Just as he turned on the light, he noticed some things on his desk, including a note.

Ikezoe took the note and saw some words written on it in rather cute handwriting. Obviously, judging from the handwriting, it was left by Makoto.

"Ta-da! Congratulations, Onii-chan, you've received Karen-chan's first-ever letter! ╰(*°▽°*)╯"

"Kallen-chan's duel with Master is about to begin! Onii-chan has been busy teaching Master and has completely forgotten about me, Kallen-chan. Hmph, Kallen-chan won't forgive you so easily! You'll have to eat sweets and go shopping with me before you can forgive me~o(≧口≦)o"

"—Just kidding, hehe. Onii-chan must be so tired, so get some rest. Karen-chan brought you a bento box and some medicine, remember to use them all. (○｀3′○)"

"Also, we can't try those dangerous training exercises again next time, but Karen-chan really wants to try them~ Although Karen-chan thinks I'm more suited to riding Onii-chan~ (ーー゛)"

"—As expected of Kallen-chan, she always appears when I need her most."

At this moment, Chi Tian also felt an unprecedented sense of healing. Looking at the anti-inflammatory medicine, iodine and alcohol that Zhen Jiling brought, he felt a warmth in his heart.

And at this moment, the race between Zhenjiling and the Golden Master, a race where all resentment had long since dissatisfied each other, was not far off...

Chapter 113: The Gold Master Who Moved Forward Through the Storm

"Boom!"

"Thunderstorms... It's really rare to see weather like this in Tokyo. Has the summer monsoon already arrived?"

At this moment, in the team's dormitory, the three trainers were also silently dealing with their own tasks. In the month since the Japanese derby, there were still many things waiting for them to handle. Currently, each of the three team trainers was busy arranging their daily work.

"Hotan, how's it going with those media outlets? Are they still harassing you?"

"It seems that no media outlets will attempt to visit me before the next chrysanthemum viewing." Wada answered Ikezoe's question without looking up. He was very busy these days, not only with Nuotao's recovery training but also with the training arrangements for the opera.

As the team's most prominent trainer, with two highly regarded horse-themed girls under her command, Wada didn't have much time to waste on media matters, and simply stated:

"Just as I thought, after a month, everyone seems to have started to forget about this matter. That's how the Japanese media are... no, I should say that's how the media are all over the world now. They've long since thrown the three laws of journalism to the wind and only know how to grab attention."

"They'll stop once they can't grab any more attention. People don't care about the truth; they only care if what they hear is what they want to hear."

“You’re right, Hotan. This is the only way we can do it now.”

Jin Lang nodded in agreement. It seemed that he had completed the planning work for McQueen's next steps. Now, he was planning the training arrangements for the East Sea Emperor. Of course, most of the training was just to improve the East Sea Emperor's physique, and there was no intention to train the East Sea Emperor's explosive power.

Even with his extensive experience, Jinlang couldn't think of a way to solve Donghai Diwang's problem in a short time. Donghai Diwang's explosive power was directly linked to her flexible ankles and powerful propulsion. Jinlang couldn't make Donghai Diwang change her running style or stop her from using her talent.

So, in addition to training the East Sea Emperor's physique to keep her as healthy as possible, Jin Lang will also focus on training the Emperor's ability to control her explosive power—simply put, the ability to control the intensity of her explosive power.

In this respect, Good Opera is well-versed in the art. The final burst of Good Opera may seem terrifying, but in reality, it is all within her control. No matter how much distance is involved or how much force is released, as long as it is within Good Opera's limit, she can precisely control it.

Perhaps the Emperor of the East Sea cannot yet master the precise running techniques of opera, but these are skills that can be developed through training. The Emperor of the East Sea has a long time to prepare, so Jinlang believes that as long as he trains well, his talent may be able to be fully utilized while ensuring his safety.

This is also why Lu Duo sent the Emperor of the East Sea to Jin Lang. Jin Lang also knows that this is probably a "helpless dilemma" that the chairman has given him...

"Trainer—Trainer! Something terrible has happened!"

"boom!"

However, a slightly childlike voice accompanied the sudden sound of the door being flung open, and the three trainers all looked up. They saw the East Sea Emperor, wearing a raincoat, but with a very anxious expression, shouting at the three of them:

"Trainers! You'd better go check on her quickly—Master Craftswoman, she—"

"What happened to the master craftsman?!"

When the Emperor of the East Sea mentioned the Gold Master, Ikezoe's emotions were immediately stirred. Imai and Wada also stood up; Imai handed the Emperor a cup of water, reassuringly saying:

"Your Majesty, please don't rush, tell me slowly, what happened to the Master of Gold?"

"Glug—woo, I'm saved." The emperor first drank the entire cup of water before catching his breath, and then immediately said anxiously:

"Trainer, you'd better go check on her! Master is still training in this torrential rain! Not only that, McQueen, Good Opera, and Golden Ship are all training with her!"

"You guys should go check on her! Master seems to be about to collapse! Under the pressure from McQueen and Opera, she's fallen countless times!"

"—We'll go right away."

After exchanging bewildered glances, the three trainers rushed out of the room without hesitation. They didn't even have time to put on raincoats, fearing they weren't fast enough and their beloved racehorse might get injured in the downpour...

……

Amidst the raging storm, just as the Emperor of the East Sea had said, on the training ground, Good Opera, Megumi McQueen, and Golden Ship were undergoing extraordinary training with the Golden Master under such harsh conditions, and this time the three racehorse girls were going all out.

On the training field, all that could be seen was that the Golden Master was facing the Opera in front of her and the White McQueen behind her. Even the Golden Ship was blocking her path on the outside. Under the pressure of the three racehorse girls, she could neither advance nor retreat, and was thus stuck in the middle. The torrential rain also increased the pressure on the Golden Master, accelerating her physical exhaustion.

But she forced herself not to be afraid, to maintain this pace, and not to back down even when attacked from three sides. She forced her legs, which were beginning to weaken, to move, and to unleash her potential in such a harsh environment...

"boom!"

It was another exhausting fall, and this time, both Good Opera and McQueen couldn't bear it. They rushed forward to help the Golden Master up, and McQueen immediately said:

"That's enough, Master! You've done more than enough! If you still can't unleash your potential under these conditions—let's try another method."

"You'll only ruin your health doing this. Even if we're racehorse girls, and you're from the Golden family, which is known for its excellent physique, you still can't handle long-term training in these harsh conditions at the racetrack!"

"Although I, as the overlord, must admit that your training methods deserve the title of 'tyrant,' this is going too far." Even Good Opera could no longer sit idly by. Although the Golden Master had initially entrusted her and McQueen with training her, and she had initially been supportive, Good Opera had now changed her mind.

This wasn't training; it was torture. Being surrounded by two racehorses, each with excellent control over their spirit, and relentlessly forced to unleash their potential—no racehorse could withstand this kind of training.

But the Golden Master was not giving up. She had fallen several times, but even so, she gritted her teeth and got up to continue training. Now, her expression was extremely ferocious, truly deserving of her title "Golden Tyrant".

"That's not enough! That's not enough!"

"I can still run! I can definitely do it! I don't believe so many people have faith in me, I don't believe I really have no potential! I don't believe it!"

"I can do it! I can do it—I'll prove it!"

The Golden Master roared as if she were a lion, her body soaked to the bone by the storm. Meanwhile, the Golden Ship remained silent, helping to lift her up.

Perhaps Good Opera and McQueen wouldn't understand, but Golden Ship, as a sister, knew that her sister's current roar wasn't questioning others, but questioning herself.

Rather, it was more like self-doubt. The wisdom of the Golden Ship made her realize that the Great Craftswoman needed to vent, needed this kind of shock, so she didn't ask any more questions or try to dissuade her, but instead came to accompany the Great Craftswoman in venting her emotions.

However, while others might not be able to sense it now, the Golden Ship could. Within the Master, there was a long-accumulated power that was showing signs of cracking. The "Golden Tyrant" aspect was trying to break through the barriers in her heart.

It just needs a catalyst, it needs one last...

"Orphie?!"

At that moment, a voice from not far away made the Golden Master suddenly calm down. All four racehorse girls looked over and saw that Chi Tian, ​​who had run to the training ground first in the heavy rain, had a blank and reluctant expression on his face.

At this moment, the agitated Golden Master suddenly fell silent. Her arms, which had been held by the Good Opera and McQueen, hung limply at her sides, as if she had given up her pitiful pride. She collapsed to her knees, utterly powerless...

She lowered her head, her body trembling slightly as she sobbed. It was unclear whether the tears streaming down her face were from rain or something else...

"...I'm sorry...Ikezoe"

“But I can’t do it… I just can’t do it no matter what… I can’t become the ‘Golden Master’ in your heart…”

Chapter 114: The Power Called "Unyielding"

Not every horse girl is qualified to become a racehorse girl. In this world, horse girls are just a species, and their population is not as large as that of humans. Those qualified to become racehorse girls are already a very small minority within this group.

Becoming a racehorse girl requires talent, and there is another layer of selection from local dirt racehorses to central turf racehorses. In the central turf, being able to run OP, GIII, GII, and GI requires yet another layer of selection, thus dividing all the racehorse girls into different categories based on their strength and talent.

Those horse girls who are able to join Treson Academy and are considered to have the potential to become GIs have almost reached the pinnacle of the horse girl industry. However, the competition and tension at this pinnacle are still unimaginable to most of the horse girls who are intimidated by it.

At this moment, the Gold Master has already stood at this pinnacle. Everyone around her, whether it is her trusted trainer or the dignified president, tells her that there is a potential within her that can allow her to conquer all of Japan. Once it is unleashed, she will be unstoppable.
