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

“You have no right to laugh at me, you are clearly me,” Good Opera retorted defiantly.

"That's the only point I really can't refute." "Good Opera" waved his hand in response, then asked curiously:

"But what do you have to be anxious about? Do you think you can win the game just because you have bigger breasts? Although we are indeed very good at winning by the difference in our breath, the time with Nutao was definitely an accident."

"Or is it that you still have a grudge? Do you feel that your failure in the Daily Cup left you with a shadow of insecurity?"

"If that's the case, then I think you can rest assured. Wada is a very loyal guy. Even if you were like Heisei McQueen, he would never look down on you."

"...It's really uncomfortable to have you know exactly what I'm thinking, but I have no idea what you're thinking."

Good Opera opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything to refute it. If Good Opera felt that she and her other self had anything in common besides running, it was that they both really loved... paying attention to Hotan.

Therefore, Good Opera has complete faith in her other self regarding matters concerning Hotan, because she knows that her other self is equally meticulous when it comes to Hotan.

"But I still don't understand why I felt a little disgusted with that trainer named Fumino Naise when I first met her... It shouldn't be jealousy of her figure and appearance, it's a different feeling..."

murmuring to himself, Good Opera unconsciously looked at his other self floating in mid-air and said with certainty, "And I think you definitely hate her too, right?"

"Isn't this really because your way of thinking is affecting me? Another version of myself."

“I must say this—absolutely not.” “Good Opera” crossed her arms over her chest, and her tone became more disdainful when she mentioned “Nase Fumino”.

She now understands who Fumino Naze is, and she also knows why she felt a sense of dislike towards her from the very first moment she met her.

"All I can say is, don't worry. I have my reasons for disliking that guy, and it's perfectly normal for you to feel disgusted with him. You don't need to take it to heart. Just be yourself. Don't treat that woman like your trainer's assistant."

"That guy is definitely a heartless guy. I can guarantee that even if Wada doesn't say it out loud, he definitely doesn't like that guy."

Having said that, "Good Opera" returned to Good Opera's body on its own, leaving Good Opera even more confused by what the other party had said.

However, at least one of her troubling questions was answered: Fumino Nase was not a threat to their team's relationship.

"But what did she mean by 'heart'? Did Fumino Nase do something bad to Ryuji?"

……

Meanwhile, Nanase Fumino, who was strolling around Treson Academy with Super Little Bay, was being asked a similar question by her role as the racehorse girl.

"Trainer, you're clearly not that kind of person, are you? Why are you so demanding of Trainer Wada?"

"...I don't know either, this feeling is very strange."

Faced with the question about the super small bay, Naze Fumino opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. After a long while, she finally spoke in an ambiguous tone, guessing:

"Just hearing this person's name and knowing that he was a rookie trainer who had won the first two of the Classic Three Crowns gave me a strange feeling that I wanted to properly test his level..."

"So, if Trainer Hetian really fails your test, what do you plan to do, Trainer?" Super Little Bay blinked and asked in a gentle tone.

Fumino remained silent for a long time, only taking a sip of her drink.

"...Then we'll see if this lucky newcomer's determination can move me."

Chapter 140: Naze Fumino, who is afraid of the Golden Ship

The next day, after everything that had happened the day before, and after the two racehorse girls had been wondering all day, Wada finally faced her test. After spending the whole day with Super Bay yesterday, Naze Fumino's originally serious face was noticeably more smiling, and she seemed to be in a much better mood than when they first met.

Now, Super Little Bay is following beside Naze Fumino. Clearly, after spending time together yesterday, the relationship between these two, who were originally trainer and racehorse girl, has finally been successfully repaired. At this moment, when Fumino's gaze is fixed on Wada and his two racehorse girls, her eyes are softer than yesterday.

"Miss Nase looks even better when she's in a good mood than yesterday," Wada thought to himself, unable to resist taking a few more glances, but a sharp pain in his palm brought him back to his senses.

But when Hetian looked to his side, he found that neither the raging waves nor the opera had made a move; it seemed that neither of them had touched him.

Who did this? Wada wondered to himself, and subconsciously glanced at Good Opera, whose seemingly calm expression actually revealed an uneasy feeling with slightly red ears.

"Alright, Trainer Wada, now that you're all here, let's begin our assessment." Naze Fumino coughed a few times, then said to Wada:

"Don't be nervous. These assessments are not difficult for a professional trainer."

"First of all, I heard from my seniors that your goal is the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, right?"

"First, I need to ascertain your determination towards this ambitious goal. Please tell me, Trainer Wada, how many meters is the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix track?"

"—2400 meters, grassland." Hotan blinked, surprised that the initial question was so simple, and answered immediately without hesitation:

"In the 2400-meter race of the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, there is a 400-meter flat straight section, followed by a gentle uphill section. Because of the long straight, there is ample time to get close to the inside lane and find a suitable position. After the uphill section, there is a sharp right turn downhill curve. After the curve, there is a 'false straight'."

"The false straight is 250 meters long and is the easiest place to make a mistake. Therefore, you must remain restrained and not exert yourself too early. The final 533 meters of the last straight is the final sprint stage."

"That's pretty good. It seems you're really prepared for the Arc de Triomphe in terms of theory."

Upon hearing this, Fumino nodded. Even she couldn't find fault with Wada's detailed explanation, which made Fumino's expression even better.

"But before participating in the Arc de Triomphe, Coach Wada, are you aware of the Foy Championship, which serves as a prelude to the Arc de Triomphe?"

"Uh……"

However, when Fumino said this, Wada didn't know how to respond. It was only belated that he realized they had to cross the Foy Trophy, the prelude to the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, before they could participate in it.

However, since the Foy Championship was only at the GII level, Wada did not pay too much attention to this competition. After all, as long as you made it, you could participate in the Arc de Triomphe. You didn't need to compete for first place to go.

Seeing that Wada didn't answer, Fumino immediately realized that Wada was completely unaware of the match. His brows furrowed quickly, and he said calmly:

"Although it's just a preliminary stage, the Foy Championship is not a competition that can be won easily. Coach Wada, you can't just focus on the Grand Prix and ignore these important events."

"Otherwise, if you're not careful, your dream of winning the Arc de Triomphe might be cut short at the outpost. In that case, you and your horse-riding companion will probably have to slink back home. I hope you can take this seriously."

“Uh… Trainer Naze is right.”

Upon hearing this, Wada nodded nervously. Fumino's words made Wada feel like a primary school student, only able to obediently answer the teacher's questions without daring to say a word more. After all, facing a trainer whose level was undoubtedly higher than Wada's, Wada was under a lot of pressure.

At this moment, Wada couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and began to look forward to Jinlang's arrival.

Senior Jinlang, when are you finally arriving? Did you get drunk yesterday and can't get up today? I remember you were drinking oolong tea, weren't you? Can you get drunk on oolong tea?

Fortunately, it seemed that the prayers on the side of Hotan had worked. Soon, everyone heard footsteps coming from afar. They all looked over and saw a female horse racer with a reed-haired coat charging towards them at an astonishing speed...

"Hahaha! The Golden Ship has arrived! Make way ahead!"

"The Golden Ship?"

However, none of the group expected that the Golden Ship would arrive. Even Naise Fumino, who had been away from Treson Academy for some time, knew of the Golden Ship's reputation. Her expression turned sour, and she immediately took a few steps back.

"Boom!" At this moment, the golden ship ran up to the group of people and quickly came to a stop. The golden ship left two "brake marks" on the grass and turned the grass upside down.

"Hey, this is Golden Ship! I heard that a familiar trainer has returned, so I came over to check it out right away." Golden Ship immediately fixed its gaze on Naze Fumino, a wicked smile instantly appearing on its face, and stepped forward with its arms outstretched.

"Trainer Naze! Long time no see!"

"—Little, little bay, please help me."

However, when Fumino Naze saw the Golden Ship approaching with its arms outstretched, her expression changed drastically. All her elegance and poise vanished, and she even hid behind the Super Bay, letting her horse girl shield her from the Golden Ship.

Little Bay was also pushed out looking completely bewildered, but she quickly recovered. Looking at the golden ship in front of her, she gently tapped the ship's forehead with her finger and said in an exceptionally gentle tone:

"Little golden boat, be good."

"Hehe... I was just joking." Facing the tiny bay, even the usually respectful Golden Ship covered her forehead and took a few steps back. She just wanted to see how scared Naise Fumino looked.

Miss Naze Fumino… is she really that afraid of the Golden Ship? Wada, Nutao, and Haogeju, standing nearby, were all astonished by the scene before them; it was the first time they had ever seen Naze Fumino in person. When Haogeju and the others enrolled, Naze Fumino had already left Treson Academy.

Therefore, it was quite surprising that the Golden Ship had such a strong deterrent effect on Fumino Nase.

Wada was simply surprised, but Nutao and Haogeju, on the other hand, gleaned a clue from Naze Fumino's strong reaction and silently remembered that the Golden Ship could restrain Fumino.

"Alright, Golden Ship, don't scare Trainer Naze."

At that moment, a familiar voice from not far away calmed Wada down. She saw Jinlang driving a smart balance scooter slowly toward the group. By the way, this scooter belonged to Golden Ship, and she often used it to get to and from school.

However, ever since the day the Golden Ship caused trouble, indirectly leading to McQueen's current worries about her weight gain, Jinlang has confiscated the Golden Ship as her mode of transportation, just so that the Golden Ship can run more.

Then, Jin Lang himself grew to like this mode of transportation, feeling that driving it was very helpful for training and his travels around Treson Academy.

Now, after Jin Lang slowly arrived, he handed the vehicle to the Golden Ship, and looking at the still-stunned Naze Fumino in front of him, he smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, Trainer Nase. Golden Ship is my assigned racehorse girl, but she has a rather carefree personality, so please forgive her."

"Ah, it's alright—wait, what did you say? You're a trainer on the Golden Ship?"

However, it was only after a moment that Naise Fumino realized what Jinlang had just said, and the expression in her eyes gradually turned to shock.

At that moment, the expression in her eyes as she looked at Jin Lang changed, as if she were staring at some creature beyond her comprehension.

Chapter 141: The Old Man: Who taught whom?

The Golden Ship's infamous reputation at Treson Academy is well-known. From the student council to the disciplinary committee, everyone at Treson Academy, from the chairman to the ordinary horse girls, has experienced pranks from the Golden Ship.

In other words, once Golden Ship has tricked someone, she won't do it again. Plus, as a racehorse girl, she's not only stronger than humans, but even among racehorse girls, she's considered one of the tallest and strongest. Few dare to mess with her, and as for "revenge," that's something they wouldn't even dare to think about.

However, there are always a few individuals whom the Gold Ship considers "special personnel" and who frequently encounter harassment from the Gold Ship. Among them, Megumi McQueen is the first victim, followed by his arch-enemy, Jotsu from Japan.

Unfortunately, Fumino Nase belongs to the category of "special personnel" within the Golden Ship.

Although compared to Megumi McQueen, who always manages to defuse the Golden Ship's pranks, and Jotun of the East, who occasionally clashes with the Golden Ship, Fumino Naze can be considered relatively neglected, her life at Treson Academy was destined to be full of hardships from the moment she was included in the Golden Ship's "Special Personnel List".

For example, things like coffee suddenly having wasabi added, steak being stolen during meals, or her always disrupting the training schedule for the horse girl... These things alone are enough to make Fumino Nase suffer.

Golden Ship's reason for this was, "Trainer Naze is always so serious. I'm worried that she'll suffocate if she doesn't release some of her emotions."

Naze Fumino really wanted to say that this was just her personality, and that she should focus wholeheartedly on her studies. There was no need to disturb her, nor to worry about whether she would suddenly lose her ability to speak one day...

So much so that when Naze Fumino left Tressen Academy to study elsewhere, there were rumors within Tressen Academy that Fumino left because she couldn't stand the Golden Ship's pranks... Fumino's attitude towards this was that it wasn't entirely true, but it was partly true.

It's easy to imagine the extent of Fumino's psychological trauma from the Golden Ship; it was something even she, a so-called genius trainer from Treson Academy, couldn't subdue...

But to her surprise, the Golden Ship actually found a trainer? How could a trainer be so bold as to accept the Golden Ship as their personal racehorse girl?

And that's not the point. The point is that the Golden Ship actually accepted this trainer, and even behaved so well?!

For a moment, Naze Fumino was dumbfounded. She even wondered if she was still dreaming and hadn't woken up at all...

"Trainer Nase, nice to meet you. I am Takatoshi Imanami, the trainer of the Golden Ship." Imanami selectively ignored Fumino Nase's embarrassment and stepped forward with a smile to greet her.

Fumino, however, shook hands with Jinlang in a daze, and it took her a long time to react before subconsciously asking:

"Imanami Takatoshi? You're the one who's been called the best rookie trainer of this year, the top-performing rookie trainer representative?"

"I've heard of you, and I was planning to meet you, but I never expected... you'd be a trainer on the Golden Ship."

Naise Fumino was also somewhat surprised. She knew the name Imanami. In fact, apart from paying special attention to Wada, whom Maruzensky had asked her to teach and serve as his assistant, she was most concerned about Imanami, who had once shared the same honor with her.

When Fumino Naze came to Central Academy, she was the top student in her class and a representative of the new trainers. At that time, she was about the same age as Inamami is now, 21 years old.

Geniuses naturally have an interest in each other. Fumino Nase was also eager to see what kind of person this genius junior, whose experiences were remarkably similar to her own, was.
