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

However, upon meeting her, it was not a problem at all; on the contrary, Naze Fumino was quite frightened. Her junior was surprisingly bold.

"Trainer, Trainer Jinlang isn't just the trainer of the Golden Ship, but also the trainer of Megumi McQueen and the Emperor of the East Blue!" Super Little Bay, standing nearby, also introduced his trainer, who had been away from Treson Academy for quite some time.

"Although Wada's two racehorse girls have the best results in the Miracle Team right now, Ikezoe and Imami are also highly anticipated."

"Mecharo McQueen, that rising star of the Mecharo family? And the Emperor of the East Blue... I see."

Upon hearing this, Fumino Naze suddenly realized that she had devoted most of her time to studying the tactics and training methods of foreign racehorse girls, and had only glanced at many domestic races, thus neglecting to learn about them.

But she did know something about Megumi McQueen, the rising star of the Megumi family. She just didn't know that McQueen was actually a racehorse girl under Inamami's command.

As for the Emperor of the East Sea, she knew even more about him. This rising star of Treson was known to everyone.

"Trainer Jinlang, since you are a member of the same team as Trainer Hetian, if you don't mind, you can receive my instruction along with Trainer Hetian."

“Although I haven’t met that trainer Ikezoe yet, he already has a senior mentor, so he has a real chance to make it to the top. And you, as a representative of the new trainers, should also have that kind of talent.”

"Then, how about we teach together with the trainer from Wada? My level may not be as profound as his, but I believe I have some experience with certain competitions."

Fumino Naze immediately extended an invitation to Imanami. In her opinion, Imanami, as the representative of the newcomers, was undoubtedly of a higher level than Wada. She was not yet sure if Wada had the potential to participate in the Arc de Triomphe, but since the second-place winner, Ikezoe, was considered to have this potential by his seniors, then Imanami should also have it.

For Fumino, teaching one person is the same as teaching two, so it's not much of a hassle. If she can personally train two rising stars who can challenge the Arc de Triomphe, she will feel quite accomplished.

However, Fumino didn't notice that when she was about to offer to teach Ima-nami as a teacher, Wada's expression turned strange.

"puff."

The Golden Ship couldn't help but burst out laughing, and without any restraint, he laughed out loud:

"Hahahaha! Trainer Naze, you've miscalculated this time. Your skill level is quite good, but you're still a long way from teaching the old man."

"The old man is much more capable than you think. If he weren't so busy, helping to plan for Emperor and McQueen, you wouldn't even have a chance to teach him!"

"—Golden Ship, obey me."

However, upon hearing this, Jinlang couldn't help but chuckle and said to the Golden Ship, which obediently made a zipping motion, indicating that it would never speak again.

Even so, Golden Ship, despite being slightly scolded, showed no displeasure. Instead, it stayed affectionately by Jinlang's side, like a spoiled child or a racehorse girl bodyguard protecting its trainer. This left Naise Fumino completely bewildered.

Is this really the Golden Ship? Or is it just a horse racer with a similar figure disguised as one?

“Trainer Nase, thank you for your kindness, but although I am a member of this team and these two juniors respect me and regard me as the backbone of the team, calling me ‘senpai’, I actually don’t value the honor of Uma Musume as much as these two juniors do.”

"I hope to protect the rear of our group, so that while they are fighting on the front lines, I can help them manage everything so that they can fight with peace of mind. Of course, I also hope that my racehorses can achieve more honors, provided they are healthy."

"Trainer Naze, actually I came here mainly to meet you, because you may become a member of our group, so there are some questions I must ask, even if it is impolite."

As he spoke, Jinlang looked at Naze Fumino in front of him, who seemed to be the "Wu Feng" of this world. He couldn't help but recall that spirited and talented rider. Then, he asked calmly:

"Which is more important to you: the honors of Uma Musume, or the longevity of Uma Musume's career?"

"And, from your perspective, what is the most important thing for a racehorse girl if she is a good trainer?"

Chapter 142: Jin Lang: Wu Feng, do you still remember the lesson of the Silent Suzuka?

What is Jin Lang's impression of Wu Feng? Early success and a genius rider, these things don't really affect Jin Lang. After all, how many riders who can enter the Central are truly mediocre? Mediocrity and genius are just relative terms. Among the riders in the Central, none of them are truly weak.

But what impressed me most about Wufeng so far was an incident that happened in 98.

It was November 1, 1998. At that time, the so-called "golden generation" had not yet fully established its authority. On that day, a racehorse named "Silent Suzuka," ridden by Wu Feng, died.

At that time, Inamami, who was a stableman, was not as old as he is now, and Silent Suzuka was not a racehorse under his care. However, when he heard the news, he was still stunned for a long time and showed a rather sad emotion.

The fall of this racehorse, famous for its "breakout" tactic, was undoubtedly a huge blow to Taketoyo at the time. He was young and impetuous and had never experienced a racehorse die under his saddle before. He drank heavily and grieved. Later, this knot in his heart was untied when he won the Autumn Emperor's Prize with his special riding performance. But Ima Nagai always remembered this incident.

The sudden death of a racehorse under one's care is something that is difficult for any stableman to accept. Even a stableman as old as Jinlang cannot imagine how violently he would react if one of his horses were to fall forever on the track.

Especially after arriving in this world, Jinlang clearly realized that each of the children named Uma Musume was given the innate mission of "running". Each of them was running on the track for this mission, this duty. Therefore, he could not imagine these children falling on the track, or never being able to run, and only being tormented by illness.

Therefore, regarding the "Wu Feng" who is suspected to be from this world, namely Fumino Naise, she is currently still in the Super Small Bay stage and has not yet taken the next step. Therefore, before she becomes a member of their team, Jinlang felt that it was necessary to instill the right idea in Fumino.

"The honor of racehorse girls... is the goal that racehorse girls pursue. As trainers, we should strive to help them achieve their goals and realize their dreams."

Naze Fumino answered almost subconsciously, but for some reason, she felt a strange sense of guilt, which made her a little afraid to look Jinlang in the eye.

Even her voice lacked confidence, but she herself didn't know why.

“That’s true, but it’s just one of the tasks we trainers need to do.” Jin Lang nodded in agreement. He was radiating a strange aura, as if an old man was sharing his life experience.

Jin Lang may look young now, but his wisdom and gentle demeanor as an elder give him the air of a senior. At this moment, everyone, from He Tian and the Golden Ship, who were already very respectful to Jin Lang, to Good Opera, Nu Tao, and Super Little Bay, quieted down and listened to Jin Lang's words.

"Trainer, the title may sound like there's only one job, but for us, it's actually three jobs."

"Three portions?" Upon hearing this, the horse racing girls and Fumino Nase asked instinctively, while only Wada nodded with deep feeling.

“Yes, three jobs.” Jinlang nodded and said, “One of them is what Trainer Naze said, making racehorse girls run on the track, which is easy to obtain. That’s one.”

"The other part is the prerequisite for the competition, which is to train the racehorses, train their judgment, and teach them how to win the competition. That is also part."

"And the most important part is adjusting the condition of the racehorse girls before or after the race, paying attention to their words and actions, their needs, their thoughts and feelings, and their health."

"These three jobs, which should involve at least three people working together, combine to form the position of 'trainer.' Therefore, the responsibilities and duties represented by this position are greater than those of most other professions in the world."

“Racing girls are not animals. They have demands, wishes, and worries. They can express their pain and fatigue—but most of them will not say these things aloud.”

"I believe that even a super small bay must sometimes feel tired, right?" Jin Lang said, then suddenly turned his gaze to the super small bay that was listening attentively beside him, and asked with a smile:

"So, Super Little Bay, when you feel tired, have you ever told Trainer Naze about it?"

"Um, that... I..."

However, Super Little Bay, who was suddenly asked this question by Jin Lang, suddenly looked uneasy, while Naze Fumino, who was next to him, was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Little Bay, do you... do you really think my training arrangement will be very difficult for you?"

"But you've never mentioned it to me? Why? If you had just told me, I could have adjusted your training schedule back then..."

"...Because I don't want to cause you any trouble, trainer."

Upon hearing this, Super Little Bay knew he could no longer hide it, so he looked at his trainer with a gentle smile and said calmly, "I trust the trainer, and of course I trust your judgment. Therefore, I will take the training you proposed seriously."

"If you're tired, just rest tomorrow and you'll feel better. You get one day off a week, so as long as you take good care of yourself, it'll be fine."

"That's right." Seeing this, Jinlang nodded gently, then turned his gaze to Naze Fumino and continued to ask:

"So now, trainer Naze, why do you think Kobayashi doesn't show his fatigue?"

"...Your trust in me?"

"Correct answer."

When Jinlang heard Naze Fumino's answer, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself that girls' thoughts were indeed much more delicate, and they understood many viewpoints much faster.

"The relationship between a racehorse girl and her trainer requires mutual trust, but this trust often drives the racehorse girl and her trainer to do things beyond their capabilities."

"If a trainer pushes himself too hard, he might only fall seriously ill at most, but if a racehorse pushes herself too hard and ends her racing career, then is that the trainer's dereliction of duty?"

"This……"

Fumino stared into Jinlang's eyes, speechless for a long time. She subconsciously glanced at the gentle, smiling Super Bay beside her, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear.

Especially now that Super Little Bay has admitted that she did sometimes push herself too hard during training, Fumino is even more frightened.

She couldn't imagine what she would have become if Xiao Haiwan had fallen in front of her. The bond between her and Xiao Haiwan was irreplaceable, so she couldn't even imagine how she would have reacted in that situation.

Looking back now, it still fills me with lingering fear. Jinlang noticed the change in Fumino's expression and finally spoke:

"Therefore, I don't think it's enough to just build a relationship of trust with the racehorse girls."

"That's why I value Wada and Ikezoe so much, because they, like me, care about their respective Uma Musume (horse girls) as if they were family."

"Only when we are like family can we trust each other and not hide our suffering and weariness from each other."

"Wada may lack a bit in terms of knowledge, but I think the bond he has with the racehorse girls he's responsible for is the most important thing for achieving higher goals: trust."

"So, before joining our family, Trainer Fumino Naze, did you intend to treat these racehorse girls as family?"

Jinlang said this, and his words startled Naise Fumino. After a long while, the trainer, hailed as a prodigy, bowed respectfully to Jinlang and said with heartfelt admiration:

"I've learned a lot, Senior Jinlang."

"Now I understand where the gap lies between me and everyone in this team. I will accept the request to be trainer Hetian's assistant, just so that I can learn more from this team and learn what I lack."

"...That would be good."

Upon hearing this, Jinlang nodded with satisfaction. Meanwhile, behind Naise Fumino, beside Wada, Nutao, having watched the entire scene unfold, belatedly spoke up:

"Um...waaaaaah, wasn't this supposed to be for the trainers' assessment? Why—waaaaaaah!"

"Raging Waves, I barely escaped this ordeal, don't send me into the fire!" Wada used the cat plush toy that Raging Waves liked to cover Raging Waves' cheek, so that she could take back her words and prevent Naise Fumino from hearing them and remembering what she was supposed to be doing today.

But it must be said that Jinlang is indeed a senior. He actually taught Naze Fumino a lesson in reverse, indirectly helping Wada get through this difficult time. Not only did he gain an assistant, but it can also be said that he brought an assistant to the entire team.

Compared to his past rivalry with Takefuyoshi, Wada now hopes to work alongside Naze Fumino, just as they do now. This would be the most effective way to improve their team.

Chapter 143: The Clever Chase After Ikezoe and Orpheus

Fumino Naze willingly joined the "Miracle" team, becoming a new member, but not as a former genius trainer, but as an assistant.

The news quickly spread throughout Treson Academy, causing a huge stir. Many trainers' first reaction upon receiving the news was, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

For Treson Academy, which only has about twenty trainers, the name Naise Fumino is anything but obscure. Treson Academy's trainers are undoubtedly shining stars in any horse racing girl training institution, the kind that are highly sought after wherever they go.

However, among the trainers in the central government, there are actually different levels. On the one hand, they are divided according to their status and length of service, and on the other hand, they are divided according to their abilities and talents.

In terms of talent, Fumino Nase is undoubtedly a well-known figure at the top of Treson Academy and even the entire Central Horse Girls organization.

She entered Treson Academy at the age of 21 and trained Super Bay in the same year. She competed with Oguri Cap of the same era and even tied Oguri Cap's record at one point. She was hailed as a "once-in-a-century genius trainer" and was sought after by countless trainers and racehorse girls in the entire circle.

It is rare to have both talent and good looks, and Fumino Nase perfectly embodies this, showcasing her strengths in a way that is unparalleled.

Although Fumino Naze was a newcomer back then, she never lacked suitors. Whether it was local or central, or trainers from the main school or branch schools, many people pursued her. However, she never showed any interest in anyone and was just busy with her own things.

There were even rumors that several racehorse girls had confessed their feelings to Fumino Nase, using the excuse of becoming a racehorse girl to try and get closer to her, but this rumor eventually came to nothing...

Regardless, Fumino Naze's charm and ability are well-known at Treson Academy. Although she left Treson Academy temporarily for some reason, whenever someone mentions her name, many trainers and racehorse girls at Treson Academy will recall her heroic figure.

But this talented and beautiful trainer, someone who could be considered a prodigy wherever she went, actually went to a team that had been established for less than half a year and became one of the team's assistants!

What makes the male trainers even more envious is that all three members of this team are men!

Immediately, many versions of the rumors spread throughout Tresen Academy. Among them, the one about Wada, who was "specially treated" by Naise Fumino, attracted the most attention. In an instant, he became the "public enemy" of all the male trainers in Tresen Academy.

Some people even linked Naze Fumino's sudden departure from the academy to Wada, but these things have no impact on Naze Fumino now.

She now feels that joining this team was the right choice. Here, she can not only share her research and knowledge with those who truly need it, but also learn many things she still lacks from the team's atmosphere.
