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

"Chi Tian..."

The Golden Master felt something similar, but the difference was that when she looked at Chi Tian, ​​who broke the silence and brought the applause back, her previously closed heart suddenly opened up again.

Yes, she was just an ordinary racehorse girl; she couldn't win the cheers of the crowd.

But at least, she has the people who support her the most... and that's enough.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for interrupting your cheers, but after discussion by the referee team, we have made a special ruling on this match."

At this moment, the commentator's voice rang out again, and after everyone's attention was drawn, the commentator spoke:

"According to the rules of the Racehorse Girls Association, Maki, who lost in this race in second place, should not have been able to be promoted to the honor of winning racehorse girl. However, according to the data of our judges, although Gold Master defeated Maki by half a horse length, Maki, who came in second place, was still two horse lengths ahead of the third-place racehorse girl. This is very rare in short-distance races."

"In addition, the first place winner, Golden Master, broke our historical record for the 1200m GIII race at Hakodate Racecourse, but according to the judges' data, the second place winner, Maki-rei, also surpassed our historical record."

"Therefore, based on the judges' judgment, and considering that Maki-rei is challenging a GIII race, she is exceptionally chosen to become the new Victory Racehorse Girl due to her outstanding performance!"

"Let's cheer for Maki-rei! Although she lost, her outstanding performance won everyone's favor, making her the Victory Racehorse Girl!"

Chapter 120: Has Qianming come to poach our talent?

Promoting a winning racehorse girl is not difficult for most Central Racehorse Girls, but gaining the qualification to promote after losing is extremely difficult.

There is only one qualification, and only one racehorse girl can be promoted in a debut race. However, there are indeed a few cases where a racehorse girl can still qualify even if she loses. The bottom line for these cases is more flexible and depends on the mood of the judges. But without exception, these racehorse girls must have an outstanding performance.

To take a recent example, Orihime, one of the "Three Musketeers" of the opera, entered the debut race as the most popular contestant. She should have won without hesitation, but she was demoted to fourth place because she veered off course on the final straight. However, considering that she had overpowered all the other contestants in the race, it was determined that "she would still have won even without veerging off course", so she was exceptionally made the winner of the race and did not need to participate in the race where she did not win.

Winning the title of "Victory Girl" is not an extremely rare honor, but exceptions are very few and far between. In a sense, it is a kind of luck, and also a recognition of the strength of the racehorse girl.

"That's great, that's wonderful."

Even Makoto was surprised by the coincidence of everything that happened today. For a moment, even this racehorse girl who had seen many ups and downs and had participated in many idol activities since childhood was slightly stunned and revealed a genuine joy that could be seen with the naked eye.

She had come prepared to lose the race herself and help the Golden Master win. She believed winning the short-distance race wouldn't be difficult, but the key now was how to help the Golden Master regain his confidence.

Zhen Jiling even secretly planned that, as long as the Golden Master's performance wasn't too bad this time, she would emulate the famous General Nutao and single-handedly hold off several racehorses that had overtaken the Golden Master, thus helping her classmate win the championship.

Of course, this tactic was risky. After all, no one knew how the Gold Master would perform that day. To be honest, when Zhen Jiling saw the Gold Master walk out looking listless, she herself felt a little uneasy.

But now, it was all worth it. The Gold Master succeeded, and she achieved unexpected success. It was as if she had been blessed by Lady Luck on this day.

"Kallen-chan! Orpheus!"

"—Ikezoe (Onii-chan)." X2

As Ikezoe cheered for his arrival on the field, both Maki and the Golden Master looked over, and at that moment, a smile appeared on Maki's face.

No, perhaps my luck, Karen-chan, ran out after meeting someone like you, Onii-chan?

"Orphie! So clever!"

At that moment, an excited Ikezo hugged his two racehorse girls, laughing with immense joy, but he failed to notice that his two racehorse girls tensed up in unison.

"Idiot, idiot Chi Tian! Don't hug me like that all of a sudden!" After a moment of surprise, the Golden Master's face turned red at a visible speed, and his spoiled little fists started punching Chi Tian's stomach again.

With a dull thud, Chi Tian, ​​laughing as he clutched his stomach in pain, retreated, nearly knocked down by the Golden Master's punch.

"Hehe, this time I can't help Onii-chan, Karen-chan. Karen-chan was quite surprised too."

Makoto's cheeks flushed slightly without her noticing Ikemoto's enthusiasm. However, unlike the obvious shyness of the Golden Master, Makoto controlled herself well and quickly recovered.

She even reached out her hands, making a gesture as if she wanted a hug from Chi Tian, ​​who was still in pain, and said playfully and cutely:

"But, it's not impossible to give Onii-chan another chance now~"

Zhen Jiling's cheeks were flushed, and she wore a sly yet slightly shy smile. It was hard to tell what was behind her actions and words. She looked like a junior who liked you and wanted to get closer to you, but was trying to find an excuse to be shy. Her appearance gave off a youthful vibe.

Before Chi Tian could react to Zhen Jiling's appearance, the Gold Master was already in a panic.

"How could you do such a thing in public?! You have no shame!"

The Golden Master fearlessly slapped away the outstretched hand of the clever man, and then glared at Chi Tian with an expression that said, "You're dead if you make any move." Chi Tian was so frightened that he didn't dare to move on the spot.

As expected, the Gold Master was the one who frightened him the most...

"What a fantastic match! You three deserve such great attention."

At that moment, a woman's voice broke the peace between the three. When Chi Tian and the other two looked over, they discovered that Qian Ming had arrived at the scene with his disciple, Xitabre.

The group didn't recognize Qianming, but they did recognize Xitabre. The Golden Master immediately recognized her as "the guy who sabotaged her debut in the final round, causing her to be late," and said:

"Ah, it's you! Sitabre!"

"Hi~ Gold Master, your match was excellent." Sitabre seemed completely unaware of Gold Master's hostility, and instead greeted her warmly.

On the other side, Representative Qianming turned his gaze to Ikezoe and said with a smile, "Hello, Ikezoe Kenichi, I am Representative Qianming, the student council president of the Tracy Academy branch."

"I watched the races of your two female racehorses and was deeply impressed. Their talent and strength, as well as their bond with you, impressed me greatly."

"Trainer Ikezoe, I'm not like Rudolph. She's more roundabout, and she's become even more scheming after becoming the student council president. I've always maintained a straightforward personality."

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer, Trainer Ikezoe. I highly value the potential of you and your team of two racehorses. You are the most unique and capable team leader I have ever met."

"How about it? Are you interested in joining our branch school? I guarantee, in my honor as the student council president of the branch school, that after I successfully step down, I will support the Golden Master to become the next student council president."

Qianming's personality was indeed fiery and decisive; he didn't hesitate to do things without any hesitation. He quickly laid out his intentions and his bargaining chips, and his actions left Chi Tian and the other two still in a daze.

But at that moment, another voice from not far away broke the silence, and the three of them immediately realized who it was.

"—Taking advantage of my absence to poach talent from our Treson Academy, Representative Qianming, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Oh, so you're here too, Rudolf."

Qianming, however, was not surprised at all by the arrival of the newcomer. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Duo, who was silently walking towards the back of Chi Tian and his group.

Even Lu Duo didn't come alone; her right-hand men, Qi Cao and Narita Shirohito, were also by her side. The moment these three heavyweights of the student council appeared, the atmosphere between them and Representative Chiaki was filled with tension.

Despite the misunderstanding, there wasn't much grudge between them. However, as representatives of the student council, they absolutely wouldn't allow Representative Qianming to take advantage of them like this.

In an instant, the aura of the four legendary racehorse girls spread throughout the racetrack. In front of Ikezoe and the other racehorse girls, the "original forms" of the four girls were clearly condensed on their bodies. Immediately, all the racehorse girls in the racetrack were shaken by this intimidating power and trembled, unable to move.

Beside Chi Tian, ​​Zhen Jiling and the Golden Master were trembling with fear, hiding behind him and not daring to breathe. Clearly, they were intimidated by the aura of the four.

No matter how strong their abilities become in the future, the current Golden Master and Makoto are still fledgling racehorse girls. Facing some of the most representative racehorse girls in Japan, they can only obediently admit defeat.

In this kind of situation, even the best opera students wouldn't stand a chance; they'd just be left trembling behind the trainer in Hotan...

Chapter 121: Maruzensky's Olive Branch?

Four legendary female racehorses appeared at a GIII-level sprint race. Any one of them, if she made a little appearance, would attract a lot of reporters to come and visit her. If two of them appeared at the same time, it would be enough to hold a press conference.

Now, these four legendary female racehorses have all appeared in the same place, and after many years, the rivalry between them remains as strong as ever. At this moment, even the commentators and the live broadcast staff are completely clueless and dare not interfere.

This is a live confrontation between four legendary racehorse girls. Anyone who dares to interrupt will likely be glared at by the four racehorse girls and suffer a sudden cardiac arrest.

Moreover, putting everything else aside, a large number of journalists are probably already heading towards the racetrack. If they were to intervene rashly, they probably wouldn't be able to handle it all...

So, after a very brief "internal discussion" that was decided without even a meeting, the racecourse officials said they were giving up and they didn't dare to get involved.

Right now, in the center of the racetrack, the three members of the Treson Academy student council, represented by Rudol, are launching an overwhelming offensive against Representative Qianming. Although Representative Qianming appears unfazed, she has no intention of confronting Rudol and his group head-on.

If it were just Lu Duo representing one person, it would be fine. Qianming wouldn't be afraid of her at all. At worst, they could just run another race in private to settle the score. But now, Huang Shiren is disregarding martial ethics and has brought two other students from the student council with him. It's obvious that he's not here to race her to settle the score, but to use force.

"Rudolph... ever since you became the student council president, has your 'Uma Musume' side been diminishing?"

Chiaki, the representative, smiled with narrowed eyes and said, "The emperor I know is the one who will challenge other racehorses to a duel at the slightest disagreement, and will keep running until everyone is convinced. Now you're bringing the air tank and Narita Shirahito to pressure me. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

“I can exercise the authority of the student council president against someone who is trying to poach our members with such a clear purpose, Representative Qianming.” But Lu Duo, naturally, would not be so easily fooled. He smiled slightly and said, “You were the one who started by being unreasonable. I’m just retaliating.”

“Representative Chiaki, I don’t want to be so harsh, but we are all aware of the situation at the branch school. It’s not a good fit for our excellent trainer Ikezoe and his racehorse girls.”

"Oh? Then I don't understand. The branch school was founded only a year after Treson Academy. In terms of historical achievements, our students are in no way inferior to Treson Academy."

Qianming wasn't really determined to poach this guy, but her current resistance was mainly because her temper had been provoked by Lu Duo's symbol, and she was very resentful.

She is also the student council president of the branch school, and her status is no less than that of Rudolf. Naturally, she cannot allow Rudolf to look down on the children of her college.

Just as the two were on the verge of exchanging barbs, the sudden appearance of a racehorse girl broke the tense atmosphere.

"Ah~ Isn't this the student council president and Chiaki? It's been so long! You two haven't changed at all~"

"That voice... is it Senior Maruzen?"

However, when everyone could see the newcomer's face clearly, they discovered that a senior racehorse girl with a hot figure and a beautiful face had appeared on the scene. She had a smile on her face and pulled over Lu Duo and Qianming, easing the atmosphere with a smile.

"You two are still the same as before, arguing as soon as you meet. You haven't seen each other for so long, can't you get along well?"

“Senior Maruzensky… I don’t remember bringing you with me this time.”

Rudolf also looked troubled. Faced with the person in front of her, whom even she had to address as a senior, she really had no choice. Although she was the student council president, Maru Zenki was a student council member who had been president for a longer period than her, so she also had to show him respect.

What? Just how big is Maruzensky? If you were to actually ask Rudolf, she could only answer that she didn't know; Maruzensky had been there since before she became student council president…

"Hehe, of course I'm here to see just how outstanding my dear juniors from Treson Academy really are. Rudolf, you don't think I, your senior, am really just going to do nothing, do you?"

Maru Zenski smiled and poked Rudo's forehead, showing no fear of the so-called chairman's authority. After all, in her eyes, almost everyone present could be considered her junior.

As he said this, Maru Zenki quickly turned his gaze to the three people in Ikezoe, his eyes sparkling, and he walked forward with a smile.

"Hello~ This must be trainer Ikezoe, right? I've heard about your team lately, and your two racehorse girls are really talented~"

"Ah... thank you for your praise, senior."

Hearing this, Ikezoe was also a little nervous. She couldn't even remember who Maruzensky was at first glance, but soon she thought of a legendary racehorse that was active in the Showa era, and it seemed that was his name.

However, Ikezoe hadn't paid much attention to this, since horse racing in the Showa era was too far removed from his life. But he did know that Maruzensky, as a stallion, had exceptionally good genes, and that outstanding racehorses like Zhou, Miyu, Victory Ticket, and Mejiro Koumei were all related to her.

It seems that even Makoto Shinki could be related to Maruzensky in some way? Ikezoe thought about it carefully, and realized that the proper title should be "great-grandfather".

Of course, Ikezoe wouldn't dare say that to Maruzensky's face. He might have a slightly low EQ, but he knew he shouldn't talk about age in front of women.

However, he was quite curious about how old Maruzensky, who looked so mature, really was. How could she look so young? Or did racehorses have a characteristic of not aging easily?

"I have a feeling that you, Trainer Ikezoe, have some bad intentions towards me~" Maruzensky smiled slightly, but a dangerous emotion appeared in his eyes, yet he still said:

“But I’m in a good mood, so it’s alright—ah, these two must be our outstanding juniors, right? The Gold Masters, aren’t they?”

"Yes, Maruzen-senpai, hello."

Even the Gold Master would respectfully shake hands with both hands when facing a senior like Maruzensky.

However, the moment the hands of the Gold Master and Maruzensky touched, Maruzensky's expression suddenly changed, and an extremely powerful aura rushed towards the Gold Master without warning!

The Golden Master shuddered, and under the intense sense of crisis, he immediately unleashed his potential and launched a counterattack. In an instant, the "phantom" that condensed on the Golden Master's body roared angrily at Maruzensky.
