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

Although she still can't come to like her other self, she admits that her growth is inseparable from the help of her other self. Her current growth rate has even exceeded Wada's expectations. Wada has admitted several times that he can no longer teach opera well.

In just a few months, Good Opera has grown even faster than Wada had imagined. This speed of growth has left most horse racers far behind. Most horse racers of the same era have been left behind by Good Opera. She has also come to fully understand what Rudol meant by "stage".

Rudolf had told her that if she could overcome this hurdle, she could achieve a completely new breakthrough, at which point she would reach a level beyond her own full potential.

But if she couldn't get over it, she would be stuck on the other side forever. Even so, her growth rate was astonishing. Good Opera finally understood why Rudolf showed a rare look of envy when he learned about her situation.

"—What amazing speed, what an opera! At your current steady pace, you'll definitely be in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation event. You can take a favorable position immediately and get the best start."

At that moment, a female voice from not far away interrupted Good Opera's thoughts. However, when the female voice rang out, a barely perceptible look of disgust flashed across Good Opera's face, but he quickly suppressed it.

Turning around, sure enough, the person who came was Fumino Naze—a strong woman who joined the team as an assistant to the trainer of Good Opera, and who gave Good Opera a less than good impression from the first meeting.

However, Good Opera itself did not know where this aversion came from, and the other self had never explained it either. But judging from the tone of the other self, the other person also disliked Fumino Naise, even more than she herself did.

"Ah, isn't this Ryuji's assistant? I've seen you busy lately. Have you been properly guiding Ryuji?"

“The trainers in Hotan and everyone else have been very busy lately, so the training has been temporarily suspended. I’m also helping everyone with that…”

Naze Fumino opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't bring up the matter of the racetrack. She didn't know that this was already a topic of conversation for every racer girl in the team, because she only found out about it later from Wada. In other words, she was the last person in the team to know about it.

During this time, Fumino Naze also made a lot of efforts to negotiate with the people at the club—she herself was considered half a member of the club, as the club continued to support her studies and work after she left Treson Academy, but she did not officially join the club.

She certainly understood the seriousness of the matter, and now, the team had undoubtedly broken ties with the broadcasting company, and Naze Fumino's choice was to stay with the team... but she was still trying to find a way to mend the relationship between the two sides.

“The trainers in Hotan have been very busy lately, and I’m doing my best to help them—however, I think good opera training also needs supervision.”

"After this period of training, and with the wonderful opera, if you don't mind, I can—"

"—Hahahaha! This overlord suddenly remembered some things that need to be taken care of. Trainer Naze, I'll take my leave now."

However, before Naze Fumino could speak, Haogeju clearly anticipated what she was going to say. After a slight narrowing of his eyes, he suppressed his inner impulse and burst into laughter, then turned and left without hesitation.

"Ah, wait—"

Naze Fumino instinctively reached out her hand, but Good Opera didn't give her a chance to say anything more and instead ran away, which was unusually impolite. This strong feeling of not wanting to have too much contact with Naze Fumino made her silently lower her hand as well.

"...What's going on? Am I being disliked?"

Fumino was well aware of the opera's reaction, which undoubtedly included aversion towards her. However, what Fumino couldn't understand was why the opera was being so uncooperative, since she didn't seem to have done anything to offend the opera recently.

"Why don't we go ask the famous general, Nutao?" Fumino thought to herself. She felt that she might get an answer from this somewhat timid but kind-hearted racehorse girl.

Chapter 155: Fumino: Being hated by two racehorse girls is too tragic.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

"As long as we persevere, just keep going, the Emperor's reward will definitely come, it will definitely come."

Meanwhile, Nu Tao was in the training room doing her physical fitness and strength training. Now, her training routine with Good Opera was almost completely different from theirs, except for the daily running training. Nu Tao gradually found her area of ​​expertise - that is, her strength.

Perhaps Nutao is not as good as Haogeju in terms of speed and judgment on the field, but she is definitely stronger than Haogeju in terms of strength. She may not be able to learn Haogeju's talent for the final step, but she can surpass Haogeju in the power of her physique developed through strength training.

As long as he gains an advantage in strength, he can occupy a more advantageous position on the field. The 2000-meter Autumn Emperor's Sho is not difficult for Nutao's endurance. If Nutao were to participate in the Chrysanthemum Sho, he could also easily run the 3000-meter long distance.

However, in the middle distance, Nutao needs to train her strength to provide herself with a stronger explosive power. In the straight-line sprint, there is almost no other female racehorse of the same period that can compare with Nutao.

This is also the plan that Hetian has designed for Nutao. Since the transformation after the Japanese derby, Nutao's growth rate has been astonishing - although it has not improved as dramatically as Good Opera, it is still making steady progress.

Especially in terms of controlling "momentum", Nu Tao is actually better than Good Opera now. She is very skilled at controlling her momentum, which is completely different from the initial stage of Golden Master, who relies on state to explode. She can do it completely at will.

Unlike good operas, she didn't enter a long period of "leveling up." Her "leveling up" was very short, so short that it was just a dream. But now, the raging waves have also undergone tremendous changes.

Just as she told Wada, she has found the courage to stand on her own two feet, and on the field, she will no longer fear any challenge.

"Phew—it's over."

After finishing another training session, Nu Tao got up and stretched. There were no other racehorse girls in the training room, allowing Nu Tao to concentrate fully on her training – an ideal environment for her.

Just as Nutao was about to take a break before doing the last set, the door to the training room suddenly opened, and Naise Fumino arrived.

"The famous general, Nutao? I'd like to speak with you. Could you spare a moment?"

"Huh? Trainer Nase... That's good."

Nu Tao was also surprised that Naze Fumino would find him. He was slightly puzzled, but he still obediently stepped forward and asked, "Trainer Naze, is there a problem?"

"Yes, it is about Good Opera." Seeing that Nu Tao's attitude was indeed better than Good Opera's, Fumino felt much relieved. She didn't seem to have done anything offensive, so there must be some misunderstanding between her and Good Opera.

As a member of the team, Fumino hopes to get along well with all the racehorse girls. In addition, as a trainer herself, she knows very well that the relationship between a trainer and the racehorse girls is very important—she doesn't want to make that mistake.

Although she is now just an assistant to the team, being an assistant also involves part of the work of a trainer. Fumino has never completely regarded herself as an assistant to the team. She is a part of this team, a "trainer who does not train Uma Musume".

“Famous General Nutao…May I call you Nutao directly? That’s what I’ve heard Trainer Hetian call you.”

"Sigh... It's okay." Nu Tao nodded slightly, still a little timid, and said, "Trainer Naise is a trainer too, so it doesn't matter how you address me."

"So, regarding the good opera student... does Trainer Nase have any questions for you?"

"...It's strange, but it seems like Good Opera dislikes me." Naze Fumino said to Nutao with a sense of helplessness, "I have no clue about it, but I'm sure I'm disliked. I just wanted to ask you, who has a better relationship with Good Opera, if you have any good ideas."

"Sigh... Being disliked by a classmate who loves opera... This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing..."

Nu Tao also found this a bit strange, but upon meeting Wen Nai's subtle gaze, he immediately waved his hand nervously and said:

"I... I didn't mean to say that you're annoying, Nase Trainer. I meant it's really rare for a good opera student to dislike someone... No, no, no, what I meant was..."

“…No need to say anything, I understand.” Seeing that Nutao was almost crying from nervousness, Nase Fumino didn’t want to make things difficult for her, so she continued to ask:

"As a member of this team, I hope to maintain a good relationship with everyone. I never thought that my status in everyone's hearts could surpass that of your trainers, but at least I hope to contribute my share."

"But now it seems there's been a slight mishap in this area, so Nutao, I hope you can give me some advice. Is there any way to help me repair my relationship with Good Opera?"

"Hmm... I remember my good opera friend told me before that the school opera club is a bit short-handed... I think, trainer Nase, you could give it a try..."

However, as Nutao spoke, he realized that Naze Fumino's expression was starting to turn strange, and immediately changed his words, saying, "I'm sorry... please pretend I didn't say that..."

Asking trainer Naze to help with the opera performance—Nutō doesn't know how he came up with this idea. The people involved in opera performances are usually quite fixed. Besides good operas and Nutō who is willing to help, it's usually the horse girls with a strong desire to perform, such as Awakening Eagle, Fujikishi, and Maruzensky, who will perform together in opera performances.

It seems strange to think that a genius trainer like Fumino Nase would participate in something like this.

"No, I'm not angry, I just think I'm probably not very good at this kind of thing..."

Fumino Naze also sighed helplessly. It wasn't that she disliked this kind of performance. If it was to avoid affecting her work, she was willing to do anything as long as it didn't violate her bottom line. However, this was indeed not something she was good at.

Perhaps she could look into other methods, and the next step... should be to ask Trainer Hotan directly.

However, this time, Nutao provided considerable help to Naze Fumino. At that moment, Naze Fumino, who was slightly unhappy because of the dislike of good opera, smiled and reached out her hand to Nutao's little head.

At that very moment, Nu Tao's previously gentle gaze suddenly sharpened as Naze Fumino reached out her hand. Instantly, an extremely intense and violent aura swept across the entire area, causing Naze Fumino to abruptly stop her actions.

"Ah—yes, I'm sorry!"

Nu Tao belatedly realized that he had subconsciously used his aura, and he was startled and immediately stopped, but he still couldn't help but take several steps back as if he was frightened, and subconsciously covered his head.

Her expression... clearly meant it: she didn't want Naze Fumino to pat her head...

Or rather... she didn't want her head to be rubbed by anyone else, because in Nu Tao's memory, only her trainer, Wada Ryuji, could do that.

Therefore, when Naze Fumino subconsciously made the same movement, Nutao immediately reacted and showed extremely strong resistance—a kind of animalistic vigilance, a wariness of someone he was not familiar with or did not agree with approaching him rashly.

But Nu Tao knew that what he was doing was wrong. After all, Naise Fumino was his trainer's assistant and a teammate of theirs, but... Nu Tao just couldn't control himself and that feeling of resistance.

"Um, I, I don't hate it, but, but I—"

"—Yes, I'm sorry!!"

Unable to explain his actions, Nutao fled in panic, leaving Naise Fumino alone in the training room, bewildered. After a long while, she muttered to herself:

"I guess I'm still disliked after all... me."

Chapter 156: Will Wada and Takeyuki's relationship improve after removing Fumino from their list?

"Yes, we must be prepared for the upcoming matches. The sports authorities may take action against us, so our training program must be adjusted accordingly."

"Then let's leave this matter entirely to Mr. Wada. It's perfect timing. Mr. Ikezoe and I can also learn what skills those students, who are supposedly taught by a good opera master, have learned when faced with overwhelming odds."

Inside the team's room, trainers Ikezoe, Imai, and Wada gathered again. Given their current strained relationship with the broadcasting company, Wada devised a plan and tactical strategy overnight to prevent the race girls from being targeted by the company in the upcoming matches. The focus was on strengthening the tactics for when the race girls were targeted.

Wada, who rarely gets to be a teacher within the team, cherishes this teaching opportunity. After all, both Ikezoe and Imanami can be considered Wada's seniors. And this time, facing the team's "experienced" leader, Wada is giving a lesson to his two seniors.

Ikezoe and Imanami listened very attentively. After all, even Imanami and Ikezoe, who had been riding racehorses for half their lives, had never experienced being surrounded by racers twice in a row. In this respect, Wada was indeed more experienced.

Just as Wada was giving lessons to the two seniors, there was a knock on the door, and the team's door was opened. Naze Fumino walked in with a slightly unpleasant expression.

"Ah, Ms. Nase, is there anything I can help you with?"

"...It's nothing. You all seem very busy. I'm the one who's bothering you."

Naze Fumino glanced at the fact that all three trainers in the team were here, and that the one giving the lecture was actually Wada Toki. She found the scene a little strange, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the moment.

What bothered her more was that no one had informed her that she had to attend this meeting, which was attended by all three trainers.

In addition, the three trainers knew about the previous incident at the company beforehand, while she was the last to find out. For a girl who was determined to integrate into this family, this was indeed a blow.

However, the moment the frustration in Naze Fumino's heart amplified, she suppressed it herself. She didn't lose her temper, but she made a gesture that was even more obvious than losing her temper.

She voluntarily withdrew to the outside world without saying a word.

"...What's wrong with her?" Seeing this, Ikezoe turned his head to look at Ijinami and Wada, completely bewildered. He was really not good at trying to figure out what women were thinking.

"Regardless, I think we should go check on her now, after all, she's one of us." Grandpa Jinlang had clearly figured out why Naze Fumino had left so abruptly. He then turned to Wada and said:

"Wada-kun, could I trouble you with Miss Nase's matter? She needs a gentleman to calm her down right now."

"Sigh... So why me of all people..." Wada was somewhat reluctant upon hearing this... He was the least suitable person to go here.

Upon hearing this, Jin Lang gave Wada a thumbs-up and said with a smile:

"Because you are the best-looking of the three of us, go, Wada-kun."

"..."

Hearing this, Wada was speechless for a moment, but he didn't know what to say in response. He simply put down his textbook and obediently chased after him.

After Wada left, Ikezoe turned to Imanami, completely bewildered, and asked:

"Senior Imai, why did you send Wada-kun? You should know that Nase-san is the 'Taketoyo' of this world... and Wada-kun is arguably the one who gets along the most with you."

“Ikezoe-kun, the barriers in our hearts can be eliminated, but the scars cannot be erased—but how can we continue to use the name ‘Wu Feng’ to refer to Ms. Nase Fumino in this world?”

Upon hearing this, Lang smiled and shook his head, then shared his thoughts with Chi Tian: "Now that we are teammates on the same team, we should cooperate with each other and have a better relationship."

“Miss Naze Fumino is not Takefuyu, and we cannot regard her as Takefuyu—even if she really is the Takefuyu of this world, he did not do those things, so why blame innocent people of this world for things from our world?”
