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

Maruzensky took in the performances of the Golden Master and the Clever Girl. Normally, she might have deliberately made a little joke to entice Ikezoe, the new trainer, into the chaotic world of horse racing that she had always been interested in. However, this time, Maruzensky and Ikezoe had already exchanged signals and words in the car, and she did not make things difficult for her student.

"Hehe, junior, then you can't ask me for help next time you go to the branch school~ My supercar isn't for just anyone to carry."

"Oh, by the way, I'll remember what you asked me for help with. Goodbye~"

Having said that, Maruzensky stepped on the gas again and drove away from the scene. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the Gold Master visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Ikezoe with a questioning gaze and asked:

"Chitian, what do you want from her?"

"It's nothing, it's just that she helped us a lot." Chi Tian said with a smile that came without hesitation, feeling quite grateful for her good fortune today.

However, Ikezoe's expression also made the Golden Master ponder for a while. She vaguely sensed that after Ikezoe and Maruzensky spent some time together this time, it seemed that... many things she didn't know had happened.

Chapter 128: Correcting the Emperor of the East Sea's Running Style?

“McQueen, Emperor, the training program will be as follows. You just need to follow the Gold Ship’s instructions. I have already told her the specific training program.”

"...Um, trainer, will this really work? I don't feel tired at all."

However, at this moment, at Treson Academy, in an open space not far from the team, Jinlang was arranging the next training process for his three racehorse girls. As the only trainer in the team who now has three racehorse girls, Jinlang's workload is enormous.

Therefore, Jin Lang had no choice but to choose the Golden Ship, whom he trusted and who had relatively ample time, to arrange the training process for the East Sea Emperor and Megumi McQueen in his place. In fact, Jin Lang still had many plans that he had not yet had time to deal with.

But at this moment, the East Sea Emperor questioned the training content. She silently raised the novel and stood on one leg, looking very relaxed.

"Trainer, are we training a dance like this? But I've already danced 'The Legend of the Horse Jumping' very well; there's no way I could make a mistake!"

"You're mistaken, Your Majesty. The old man asked me to help you improve your flexibility."

On the other side, the Golden Ship was also in the same pose as the Emperor. She was standing on one leg, lying flat on her back, with her other leg in a straight line as much as possible with her body, forming a "T" shape.

The golden ship was also quite well made, though it didn't look as relaxed as the one used by the Emperor of the East Sea, but it was still able to support her in speaking.

"Only with flexibility can a racehorse girl use all her muscles, so training flexibility is a crucial step, Your Majesty, you must not slack off."

"Sigh... but my body is already very flexible, even the president and the others have said so."

The Emperor of the East Sea nodded in understanding, but quickly added that he did not need such training at all.

She effortlessly controlled every bone in her body, mimicking the movements of the Golden Ship with remarkable ease and fluidity, much like a professional ballet dancer.

"Look, trainer, my body is very flexible, so I don't need to do any training in this area at all~"

"—That's true, but..."

Jin Lang clearly knew what the Emperor of the East Sea was going to say. Holding a cane that he had prepared beforehand, Jin Lang immediately stepped forward and gently poked the Emperor of the East Sea's calf that he was using for support.

"Ahhh—wait!"

However, upon being poked, the Emperor of the East Sea's expression changed drastically. He was uncontrollably tilted to the other side, and quickly put down his other leg, patting his chest with lingering fear.

"Really—why do such a dangerous thing and drag me down with you!" The Emperor of the East Sea pouted and asked Jin Lang with great dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, your body is very flexible, that much is certain. This put you at a level that many racehorse girls would find difficult to reach from the very beginning. Your flexibility gives you greater explosive power and propulsion."

Jinlang was not intimidated by the emperor's scolding. Instead, he tapped the emperor's calf with his cane and said, word by word, "But your sense of balance is not good. Because you are naturally flexible, you have neglected to train in this area. But in fact, the sense of balance required for a racehorse girl is very important."

"This will allow you to take steady steps as you move forward, rather than flying on the grass as if you were stepping on the tips of the grass, thus reducing the possibility of falling."

“Every step you take is an opportunity to exert force, Your Majesty. You must learn to stabilize your steps and let your propulsion drive your body forward, rather than simply using the strength of your ankles.”

"Ugh...that sounds like a lot of trouble."

The Eastern Sea Emperor's bitter face immediately fell. She had become accustomed to her running style, which relied on the power of her toes and ankles to maximize her flexibility. This was a unique "Emperor's Dance Step" that she had figured out herself.

However, Jinlang is now asking her to use a more scientific running method, which is undoubtedly starting from the basics, so that while the East Sea Emperor can give full play to his advantages, he should try not to let her fully display his talent. This is something that the East Sea Emperor does not quite understand.

Shouldn't one's natural talents be used to their fullest potential? Why force Nara to control her power and choose a scientific running style that lacks distinctive features and only slightly outperforms other racehorses?

While this approach would undoubtedly still be effective, starting running training from scratch would waste a lot of time. She's not a child anymore; she doesn't have to start learning from walking...

"Isn't there any other training? Please, I'm holding you back! I want to go for a run!"

The East Sea Emperor immediately used her coquettish method to try to gain Jinlang's approval. She had used this trick many times in the student council, on the Qi Cao Jie, Narita Shirohito, and the president. She had long since mastered it and could switch to coquettish mode in a second.

Facing the East Sea Emperor who was holding his arm, Jin Lang couldn't help but show a doting smile on his face.

This child is indeed very cute. No wonder Rudolf dotes on him so much. It seems that even without original blood ties in this world, there is still some kind of connection between us...

But the Emperor of the East Sea is indeed very likable. Although he has a bit of a temper, he is not annoying. His choices at crucial moments are always correct. He is like a child who never grows up. He can be spoiled and throw tantrums, but he will still obediently listen to others.

He is simply the ideal child. Jinlang thinks that the Emperor of the East Sea probably embodies all the fantasies of people who love children in the world, and there is not a single flaw in him.

Even so, Jinlang will not show favoritism on such an important matter.

"This is very serious training, Your Majesty, and it will be of great benefit to you, McQueen, and the Golden Ship."

"Nobody wants to see you suddenly collapse on the track. Although it's a basic skill, it's extremely important for your safety. The correct running technique can reduce the pressure on your legs, thus allowing you to continue your racing career for a longer period."

"Your Majesty, I favor Opera and Golden Master. Their running styles are very reliable. The strongest racehorse doesn't rely on unique talent, but on solid skills."

"Sigh...but..."

However, the Emperor of the East Sea was already somewhat persuaded by what he heard, but he still wanted to say something. But at that moment, the commotion from Megumi McQueen attracted everyone's attention.

"Ouch!" McQueen suddenly staggered violently and sat down on the ground with a thud, wincing in pain. This startled Jin Lang, who was still instructing the emperor nearby.

"McQueen? Are you alright?"

"No... I'm fine, don't worry, my trainer."

McQueen was fine, of course. She wouldn't say that she had deliberately given up because she couldn't stand seeing the Emperor and her trainer so close.

For some reason, McQueen always felt uncomfortable when he saw that after the East Sea Emperor joined, many of his trainers' attention was focused on the Emperor... Although this was also the Chairman's request, and it was normal for Jinlang to take extra care of the Emperor, McQueen just couldn't accept it.

Even though she was also a racehorse girl entrusted by her grandmother, why did the trainers, who were originally all paying attention to her, have to give so much attention to the Emperor after he joined the racehorse?

What? Isn't there the Golden Ship? McQueen said that the Golden Ship kid is a complete slacker, joining or not makes no difference, he's not a threat at all.

But the Empress is different. Like McQueen, she carries a heavy responsibility that her trainers cannot refuse... Therefore, how to attract more attention from Jinlang has now become McQueen's most pressing concern.

More attention means more training opportunities that are beneficial to oneself, just like how to get a bigger slice of the cake from limited resources. McQueen understood this principle well.

So, after being helped up by Jin Lang and the Golden Ship beside him, McQueen dusted himself off and said to Jin Lang very seriously:

“Trainer, let’s continue training. My flexibility may not be as good as the Emperor’s, and my balance may not be as good as the Golden Ship’s, but I will definitely follow your training plan strictly.”

"The Mejiro family's racehorse girls always trust their trainers' arrangements. Please watch my training posture carefully."

Chapter 129: McQueen Seeks Help from the Gold Ship

The day's training ended amidst the Emperor's lamentations, McQueen's gritted teeth and perseverance, and the exceptionally quiet environment of the Golden Ship. By evening, McQueen returned to his dormitory exhausted, took a shower, and lay wearily on his bed.

"Ah...so tired...how can an emperor's body be so flexible...this is simply not scientific."

"I couldn't do some of the more difficult moves no matter how hard I tried, I felt like my bones were about to dislocate... but the Empress could do them with ease despite all the complaints, and her balance improved a lot after that day's training, but my flexibility didn't improve much..."

"What should we do..."

Megumi McQueen really didn't know how to explain the anxiety deep in her heart at this moment. Since Tokai Teiou joined, as the first racehorse girl to join the trainer, she had to undergo several more months of training than Tokai Teiou. Why did Tokai Teiou improve so quickly after joining the team?

Could it be that the emperor's talent is really much stronger than hers? Megumi McQueen raised his head slightly and thought, but soon, unwillingly, he put the thought out of his mind.

"—Didooth, from a rational perspective, am I really that far less talented than an emperor?" McQueen had to turn to his roommate, Ikuno Didooth. This racehorse girl, with her science-oriented demeanor, was practically her best "strategist," offering her a wealth of valuable and objective advice.

As McQueen's roommate, Didoth always provided excellent advice whenever McQueen asked for help. This time, after hearing McQueen's request, Didoth couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Why are you suddenly asking me this? McQueen, you've never lacked confidence in yourself before."

“After all, the comparison is with that Emperor of the East Sea, who's hailed as the most talented of our new generation of racehorse girls.” McQueen shook his head, rolled off the bed, and asked Didos:

"So, Didus, from your rational perspective, who is stronger, me or the Emperor of the East Sea?"

"...In terms of overall strength, McQueen is undoubtedly stronger than Emperor. After all, you have trained under Trainer Jinlang for so long, won many matches, and even shone brightly on the GI stage."

"But, as for your talents... I'm sorry, McQueen, even I don't know. After all, for me and most female racehorses, geniuses like you are quite talented. Nobody knows who is better or worse."

Didus waved her hand helplessly. Her judgment wasn't as sharp as some of the trainers'. As a racehorse girl, her potential was limited by her skill level. At least for now, Didus wasn't skilled enough to judge whether Megure McQueen or East Sea Emperor was more talented.

"But I think McQueen, you shouldn't be too far behind the Empress. You see, the Empress considers you her biggest rival. I think with the Empress's discerning eye, she wouldn't choose a mediocre person as her opponent."

"But during this period of training, I felt that the Emperor's progress was much more obvious than mine..."

Even so, McQueen still felt uneasy. His time with the Emperor of the East Sea made him increasingly uneasy. The Emperor was making rapid progress, while he himself was gradually getting stuck in a vortex of slow progress...

She can't go on like this. The next competition might be the Chrysanthemum Prize against her classmate, Good Opera. This is her last chance before challenging for the Emperor's Prize. If she can't break through this barrier and reach a new level, she will definitely have no chance of defeating such a strong opponent as Good Opera.

She needs to become stronger as quickly as possible... If the Emperor weren't around, the trainer's training schedule could have helped her become stronger much faster... as long as the Emperor wasn't there...

Unbeknownst to him, McQueen's thoughts seemed to have suddenly fallen into darkness, but he quickly shook his head and immediately put those dark thoughts out of his mind.

"What's wrong with me... Why am I thinking this? The Empress is my friend, and the trainer would be an excellent choice for her, why am I thinking this..."

"...Actually, McQueen, if you want more training, why don't you just go and talk to Trainer Jinlang?"

Seeing McQueen's conflicted expression, Didos found it somewhat amusing and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Trainer Jinlang isn't one to show favoritism. If you want to get stronger faster, shouldn't you bring it up yourself?"

“This is different, Didoos.”

However, upon hearing this, McQueen sighed slightly and shook her head. She knew that Trainer Jinlang cared about her, but it was precisely because of this care that he did not allow McQueen to undergo overly intense training. If McQueen were to request high-intensity training, Trainer Jinlang would definitely refuse.

But even within that limited time, McQueen still felt himself improving every day under the rigorous training program of Jinlang. The results were gratifying, and McQueen felt himself getting stronger rapidly every day—until the East Sea Emperor joined him.

McQueen believed that her trainers were now under more pressure and had to devote some of their energy to developing the East Sea Emperor's training plan. However, the Emperor's training methods were not exactly the same as hers, so it was the Emperor's involvement that caused her training plan to be put on hold.

This idea is perfectly reasonable, after all, it's a fact that Jinlang is very busy every day.

But in reality, if Jin Lang knew what McQueen was thinking, she would definitely smile wryly and say that she was overthinking it.

McQueen's training schedule has never been missed a single day. Jin Lang is very busy and tired every day, but he has never delayed McQueen's training because of this. McQueen's so-called "feeling that he is getting stronger at a slower pace" is actually very easy to understand, because McQueen's physical fitness in all aspects is now close to its limit.

At this point, there's no point in training McQueen's physical abilities; it's just about preventing her physical abilities from declining. Nowadays, Jinlang is also trying to improve McQueen's many small issues.

To put it simply, it's like a rough gem that's already been polished into a roughly shaped form. Now, Jinlang is adding tiny, intricate details to that general shape. Jinlang is well aware of the progress in this polishing, and it's only natural that McQueen feels he's making rapid progress.

But now, McQueen never shows his doubts to Jin Lang, and Jin Lang also sighs that McQueen is different from the Emperor, never causing her any trouble. Over time, the two have come to misunderstand each other, and of course they don't know what the other is thinking.

"Besides, I can't be like an emperor, sticking to the trainer's side every day. As a racehorse girl of the Mejiro family, it would be improper for me to have such close contact with the trainer every day."

As McQueen spoke, his words seemed to express disdain for the emperor's clingy nature, but the slight unease between his brows made it seem anything but disdainful.

"In that case, how about we try asking about the Golden Ship?"

At this moment, looking at McQueen's expression, Didus already understood most of it, but quickly suppressed his laughter and asked, "McQueen, didn't you say that Trainer Jinlang's favorite horse girl is Golden Ship? I think that if a trainer would dote on his assigned racehorse girl so much, then there must be some shining qualities of that racehorse girl that attracted the trainer."
