"I will try my best."
“Very good, then we—” Jinlang nodded, and was about to take Wada and the two fat horses… oh no, the two plump racehorse girls to training when he was suddenly hugged from behind.
"Really—Grandpa! Don't leave me out here and just play with McQueen and the others!"
Having been ignored from the start, Golden Ship pouted and hugged Jin Lang's back in dissatisfaction, saying in a very unhappy tone, "Didn't you promise to come and watch my 3000-meter run? I prepared for a long time yesterday. Do you know how rare it is for Lord Golden Ship to want to run on my own initiative, old man!"
"Ah... Golden Ship..." Jin Lang almost forgot about the troublesome Reed Horse Girl behind him, and immediately and skillfully comforted her, "I really want to play with you, but look, McQueen and Raging Waves both have very important things that they need my help with."
"Golden Ship, we need to prioritize everything. How about I arrange their training first, and then I'll spend time with you?"
"Waaah—I want to train together too!"
Golden Ship was very dissatisfied that Jin Lang only assigned training content to McQueen and Raging Waves, and refused to be outdone, clinging to Jin Lang tightly and refusing to let go: "I want to train with McQueen and the others too, I've gained weight!"
"Good good..."
Jin Lang knew that when Golden Ship was causing trouble, it was best to indulge her. After all, according to the excellent genetic tradition of the Golden family, the more you restricted them, the more trouble they would cause. It was better to let them run wild.
"...Golden Ship, I really like Trainer Jinlang." Ikuno Didus looked at the scene before him with some surprise and murmured:
"I've never seen a golden ship subdued in such a short time. It's a miracle, don't you think, McQueen?"
"Yes... I never thought about it either." McQueen nodded, but seemed somewhat absent-minded.
After all, in her plan, Jinlang could be considered her trainee candidate. If Jinlang's training this time could really help her lose weight and win the debut battle, then McQueen's plan was to take Jinlang to the Mejiro family and introduce her trainee to his grandmother.
But now... the fact that Golden Ship and Trainer Jinlang have such a good relationship makes McQueen uneasy...
Should he stick to his own ideas? McQueen didn't think a trainer who taught the Golden Ship would have extra energy to teach him, after all, it was the Golden Ship.
The only thing that makes McQueen feel both fortunate and uneasy is that, to this day, Goldship has not signed an agreement with Jinlang, so he still has a chance and time.
But she felt that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate. The Golden Ship had finally found a trainer that she could rely on so much. Should she have done this?
"Sigh... If only there were two trainers like Jinlang, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Megumi McQueen also sighed deeply, not knowing why she had such thoughts. However, she felt guilty about stealing the trainer that the Golden Ship desired. Now, she could only hope that the Golden Ship was just a simple sticky wave.
After all, for the sake of the Meguro family's honor, she needs a trainer who can bring out her talents.
Chapter Fifteen: The Unpopular Ikezoe? The Emperor's Hidden Plans
Unlike Wada and Iwanami, who have already started their training programs, Wada has found her role as a racehorse girl, while Iwanami, although she hasn't found one yet, is not worried about her current situation. However, among the three, only Ikezoe, who clearly has the talent to be second place, is in an awkward situation because he is addicted to giving up and doesn't want to work hard.
"Looking for a racehorse girl, looking for a racehorse girl... Do I have no other choice besides someone like the Golden Master?"
Ikezoe wandered aimlessly around Treson Academy. A day had already passed. Wada had found the great general Nutshou, who was fully capable of competing for GI, and Imai-senpai had a guaranteed Golden Ship to choose from. Only he was still far from becoming the horse girl he wanted.
Just an hour ago, he had come out of the student council office when Rudolf had summoned him specifically and said to him:
“Now that trainer Wada has found his racehorse girl, I am not worried about Mr. Imami’s situation.”
“What I’m most concerned about right now is your wishes, Trainer Ikezoe—although this may go against your wishes, I think you might be well suited to finding some racehorse girls who are a little stubborn.”
When Lu Duoxiang spoke with Chi Tian, Chi Tian's face almost turned pale. Lu Duoxiang, clearly noticing Chi Tian's resistance, immediately changed the subject with a smile:
"Of course, the student council will not force you to take on the role of a racehorse girl right now. After all, we have given you a week. Within a week, as long as you can find your own racehorse girl, the student council will not arrange a racehorse girl that is suitable for you."
"However, as the student council president, I must make it clear that if you cannot find your assigned racehorse girl within a week, and the racehorse girl we arrange does not meet your expectations, please try not to have too many personal feelings. Our student council will absolutely arrange the most suitable racehorse girl for you based on the trainer's personality. I can guarantee this in my honor as the student council president."
—Even though Rudolf Symbol didn’t say it outright, Ikezoe had an extremely strong premonition that if he still couldn’t find a racehorse girl within a week, Rudolf Symbol would definitely force the Golden Master on him! Absolutely!
At this moment, Chi Tian started to get anxious. It wasn't that he disliked the Golden Master that much. Although on the first day, the Golden Master made him feel the pain of the one who tried to "single-kill" him back then, Chi Tian was already used to it and didn't care much.
But the main point is that this time, the teacher isn't teaching horse racing, but horse racing girls. Since what happened yesterday, Ikezoe's relationship with the Golden Master has become visibly strained.
Chizue knew he wasn't liked by the horses, but that was a job requirement, something he couldn't avoid. As a jockey, who would hold a grudge against a racehorse? Did he really expect the racehorse to understand their feelings?
But this world is Uma Musume, Uma Musume. Although they are different from humans, if you ask Ikezoe to numb herself and say they are animals... Ikezoe can't do that. Ikezoe believes that every Uma Musume is a living, breathing person, and being with them is roughly equivalent to being with "people who are much stronger than ordinary people."
Imagine being a teacher, hated by your own student, and that student could seriously injure you with a single kick, and you still have to live with that student for more than three years... Chi Tian felt his scalp tingle.
He could accept the fact that he wasn't liked by horses, just like some people aren't liked by cats, but knowing that someone dislikes him and still going to them... Chi Tian didn't consider himself a masochist and didn't have that kind of fetish.
"But it's really strange. I've been going around in circles here so many times, why is there still no racehorse girl willing to be my partner? Is it because I've transmigrated that I'm not liked by racehorse girls?"
At this moment, Ikezoe sighed helplessly. He had already approached several racehorse girls who seemed to have potential, but without exception, they all left after seeing him, making up some excuse.
Chi Tian even began to doubt if there was something wrong with his face. Although he had fallen badly yesterday, he was almost recovered today. After transmigrating, he not only became younger, but was even more handsome than before. So why was he still so disliked by Ma?
Could the rumors on the radio be true? Does he really have a face that makes even a horse angry?
However, what Ikezoe didn't know was that his situation wasn't simply because his face wasn't quite to the liking of the racehorse girls, but rather due to some more significant reasons...
……
"...It's so pitiful, Trainer Ikezoe, President, are we really doing the right thing?"
From the student council's perspective, the Qi Gauge and Rudolf symbolize a superior position that allows them to clearly see all of Ikemoto's actions below. Even the Qi Gauge, representing the "Empress," felt a pang of pity and said:
“Trainer Ikezoe did nothing wrong, Chairman. Why should we tell the racehorse girls not to have contact with Trainer Ikezoe? Even if you want Trainer Ikezoe to teach the Golden Master, we can just say so.”
"I know, but I'm the student council president, and I have to be responsible for Uma Musume and the talented trainers."
Lu Duo Xiang Sheng naturally sensed the blame in Qi Cao's tone. However, she knew that her actions were inappropriate when she made this decision, but she still did it anyway.
"Air tank, do you still remember the Golden Master?"
"Of course, she is a girl with great potential." Qi Cao also didn't know why Lu Duo suddenly brought up this child, but still said objectively, "It's just a pity that she has been unable to discover her talent for a long time, and even felt that she was mediocre."
"Within this child's body lies a fierce and powerful energy, like that of a wild beast. However, she herself is surprisingly timid. She may appear fierce, but in reality, she lacks the courage to compete with stronger opponents. As a result, her talent has been buried and she didn't even participate in her debut battle. It's such a pity."
“That’s the problem, the Qi gauge.” Rudol smiled slightly upon hearing this, and then asked another question: “So, do you remember when the last time the Golden Master’s anger erupted?”
"This……"
However, Lu Duo's question stumped Qi Cao. Lu Duo smiled slightly and said, "You can't remember, right? Because it never happened."
"And just yesterday, even though it was only their first meeting, and we asked both the Gold Master and Trainer Ikezoe, they had no prior grudges and it was their first time meeting. But even so, the usually timid Gold Master actually mustered up the courage to attack Trainer Ikezoe. Why do you think that is?"
"...Because she hates trainer Ikezoe?" the gas tank asked tentatively.
"Perhaps, but I see an opportunity in this matter." Rudolf nodded in agreement, glancing down at Ikezoe, who was still unsuccessfully trying to win over Saima Musume, and said with a slight smile:
“A being who can unleash the power of the beast deep within the Gold Master’s heart, Trainer Ikezoe, he might be the one who can make the Gold Master go all out.”
"...But this is too unfair to trainer Ikezoe." Qisuo gradually understood the meaning behind Rudo's symbolism, but she still felt that it was wrong, at least for Ikezoe, it was not fair.
It's not an unreasonable request for a trainer to train a gentle racehorse girl, and if they reject even this request, wouldn't the student council really become a dark force in Treson?
"...I'll know what I'm doing, Gas Tank, trust me."
Of course, Lu Duo wouldn't really force Chi Tian to accept the Golden Master. She just wanted to push things along as much as possible so that Chi Tian would accept it willingly. She had a feeling that Chi Tian didn't really hate the Golden Master. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so amiable after kicking the Golden Master in the student council.
Moreover, Rudolf symbolized his own intentions.
"Kenichi Ikezoe, who can unleash the full power of the Golden Master; Ryuji Wada, who can see the potential of great operas that no one else can see; and Takatoshi Imamiya, the genius chief trainer who can even subdue the Golden Ship..."
"Let me see how you perform. If your achievements meet my expectations, perhaps... the emperor will find the one truly suited to him..."
Chapter Sixteen: Ikezoe's True Cleverness Arrives by His Side!
"Sigh... I still can't find it... It seems that even if my face becomes more attractive in my own eyes, it's no use to the racehorse girls of this world."
After a long day of hard work, Chi Tian returned empty-handed and sat down by the flower bed, looking rather dejected. It was rather cruel to accept the fact that Chi Tian's appearance was not to the liking of the racehorse girls.
After all, his work environment would definitely be within Treson Academy from now on, and it would be bad if he couldn't properly teach the racehorse girls because of this face... Chi Tian didn't want to be in an environment where he was disliked by others all the time.
"Maybe... it's because of these wounds on my face that haven't healed yet? Honestly, that guy, the Golden Master, really didn't hold back. Just thinking about that kick still hurts."
Whether it was to comfort himself or not, Chi Tian sat down and decided to rest for a while. He was really exhausted. He had tried to pull several racehorse girls but failed. He was starting to doubt his own appearance.
However, it seems that after transmigrating, he not only became younger, but his body also seemed to be much better? As a rider, Chi Tian's physical fitness test results were also good, but even so, he ran almost half of Treson Academy, pulling so many racehorse girls back and forth. Although he did not succeed even once, given his previous physique, he should not have just felt tired.
And then there was that kick from the Golden Master… that kick was truly brutal. Judging from Ikezoe’s extensive experience of being kicked by horses and falling from horseback, that kick was no joke; it was a genuine, hard kick, no less powerful than the "Dream Journey" attack back then.
You know, a kick from a horse racer is no joke. Ikezoe is really lucky. With his rich experience and preventative measures, he has been able to escape unscathed time and time again. He is only alive today because of divine protection.
If a real horse were to kick a person, it would literally send them flying. Not just flying, but if it kicked their stomach, their intestines might come out. Although there weren't many stable workers who died from horse kicks, it wasn't unheard of... even if it didn't happen in the central area.
But even though Chi Tian was kicked by the Golden Master, he was completely unharmed except for some minor injuries... Keep in mind that he was in a panic at the time and didn't take any professional protective measures. If he had been kicked, he would have likely suffered a fracture or more.
"Could it be that my physique has become stronger after I transmigrated? Will I no longer be easily injured by the Golden Master's kicks? Is this some kind of blessing from heaven?" Chi Tian found it quite strange, but also a little annoying... This physique seemed to be telling him that he would be kicked by racehorse girls quite often in the future...
"But I really don't want to teach the Gold Master again. Our relationship was already a bit strained last time, and it would be awkward to offer to take on the role now... I'm afraid I'll get kicked again..."
"Sigh... I just want to find Maki Rei. If only Maki Rei were here. I've asked so many racehorse girls, but it seems like nobody knows..."
While Chi Tian was muttering to himself, he didn't notice that a cute little head of a horse racing girl with a goose feather suddenly peeked out from behind him. She noticed Chi Tian's figure with his back to her and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
The horse girl with the bushy hair approached gently, maintaining her mischievous smile, and suddenly covered Chi Tian's eyes. Before Chi Tian could react, her sweet, cloying voice immediately said:
"Hehe, it's not that easy to find out about Karen-chan. Karen-chan is very cute, you know. If you just casually reveal your whereabouts, your enthusiastic fans will be waiting at the door!"
"But why did they specifically seek out Karen-chan? This new trainer certainly has a discerning eye. Could she be a fan of Karen-chan? As a racehorse girl, I'm actually better at being cute, Karen-chan~"
After saying that, the horse girl with the goose feathers who called herself "Karen-chan" released her hands that were covering Ikezoe's eyes, and hopped over to Ikezoe. She bent down slightly to reveal a perfect angle, showing off her exquisitely sculpted and adorable face to the fullest.
"Ta-da~ It's Karen-chan! What a surprise! Hello, new trainer~"
"Karen...-chan?" However, after being slightly startled by the beautiful girl with goosebumps in front of her, Saima Musume immediately noticed this familiar address.
This is a very familiar name to Ikezoe, and it refers to only one racehorse.
"—A real wit? You're a real wit?"
"Huh? You don't even know what I, Karen-chan, look like? Looks like you're not a fan of mine~"
However, although Chizoe called out Maki's name, his surprised reaction and obvious shock at Maki's true appearance made Maki quickly realize that the other party had never seen her before.
This left the clever girl feeling both disappointed and curious. She was disappointed that the trainer who had been so eager to find out about her wasn't a fan; it seemed Kallen-chan's cuteness hadn't yet spread worldwide—she needed to work on that!
At the same time, Zhenjiling was also very curious. Since she wasn't one of her three million followers on the platform, why was this one of the three new trainers who had recently become famous at Treson Academy so eager to find her?
"So, trainer, what exactly is it about you that you're so eager to find me, Karen-chan? I'm very curious, Karen-chan~"
Even with some doubts in her heart, Maki maintained her "cute" persona. However, Ikezoe quickly snapped out of her shock at how cute Maki was in Uma Musume.
A real genius has appeared before me? How could I not seize this opportunity!
And Ikezoe, who was never short of courage, reacted immediately. He stood up and grabbed Maki's hand with great solemnity and joy, not noticing Maki's startled expression. He immediately bowed and said:
"I've come to invite you to be my personal racehorse girl! How clever of you!"
