Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

The horse-racing girl with the reed-haired hair did not back down; instead, she continued with a wry smile:

"Such a violent aura, coupled with extraordinary concentration... this is just a glimpse of your strength, yet it is enough to intimidate me."

Stardust Illusion closed its eyes and did not answer her question.

But this man with the reed hair continued talking to himself:

"Is she concentrating? That's impressive..."

“Even when facing mediocre people like us, you will fight with all your might and never let your guard down.”

"But I...cannot let you see my white photo album—"

"White Album!"

Separated by several gates, another racehorse suddenly snapped at the self-proclaimed White Album racehorse, interrupting her.

"Lofty ideals, I am just..."

"That was our trainer's decision, so stop arguing!"

Seemingly because of the rebuke from this person with lofty ideals, the white album could only turn its head away and say no more.

(What does this mean?)

Even with the illusion of stardust, a hint of doubt inevitably arose in his mind at this moment.

However, she didn't have much time to think, because the whistle on the field suddenly sounded the next moment:

beep--

boom!

The thirteen gates opened instantly, and all the racehorses burst out of the gates, racing headlong towards the track ahead!

[Skill Tokyo Racecourse O, activated.]

[Skill Counter-clockwise O, activated.]

[Skill standard range 0, activated.]

Without time to think further, the Stardust Illusion's eyes were already completely agitated the moment the gate opened, and she took a bold step forward without hesitation.

The three passive skills erupted simultaneously in that instant, transforming into three sparks that ignited fighting spirit, awakening the final skill from the early game:

[Skill Ground Solidification, activated!]

boom! ! !

The powerful initial acceleration shattered the ground, and a fierce wind raged behind the stardust illusion, propelling the runner who was riding the storm to the forefront of the race!

Stardust Illusion made no changes in this match.

For her now, striving for that indomitable spirit has become her second life... No matter what the competition, she doesn't want to make any other choice.

The only way to escape is this—a great escape.

Whatever your plans, whatever your difficulties!

Once you're on this field, don't expect anyone's pity.

My journey as a stardust illusion is definitely not limited to this place...

You will all turn into dust that I crush!

"Mouth closed, mouth closed, mouth closed, mouth closed, mouth closed, mouth closed!"

laughing out loud.

The eyes of Stardust Illusion were once again enveloped by a wild aura.

Running on the track seemed to activate another soul within her, and instinct drove her to become more and more like a wild beast.

This bloodthirsty impulse spreads through the body with every breath, this supreme pleasure permeates the soul as you run!

Kill...kill...kill this match.

Stardust Illusion!!!

----------

The racehorse girl who had spoken to Stardust Illusion before leaving the gate, White Album, was now running in the inner lane.

In this match, the vast majority of the audience came specifically for Stardust Illusion, the Great Escaper.

However, there are also fans of other people.

Aside from Stardust, who is undoubtedly number one in popularity, the second place winner is White Album.

She has won 5 out of 11 races since her debut. Although she has only won one G3-level race so far, her running style is equally impressive, and her recent races have successfully attracted the attention of some people.

Take, for example, the white-collar men in the audience right now.

"The Stardust Illusion's escape is a very difficult thing to deal with. If White Album wants to win, it must come up with a countermeasure..."

The white-collar worker, holding binoculars, stared intently at the situation on the track and spoke with a serious expression.

"If she goes first, she should have a chance to exploit the opening during the escape. It just depends on whether she can withstand the pressure from the monsters."

"It seems there are two other players on the same team as White Album in this match... Grand Ideal, who else is there again?"

"This is actually not a good thing. Even if it's competition within the team, there's no need to start from the G3 level, right?"

The man's companion, another white-collar worker wearing wire-rimmed glasses, also began to analyze the situation.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses was not a fan of White Album; he was simply a regular spectator who came to watch the game with his companion.

However, his knowledge of racehorse girls is considered quite comprehensive for an amateur.

This is also why the guy with the binoculars asked him to watch the game with him.

The man with the telescope nodded: "Even the First Ruby and Ikuno Didos were defeated by the Great Escape... The White Album of the First Runner-Up needs to be dealt with properly."

"Huh? But look at the white photo album..." The bespectacled man suddenly noticed something was wrong and exclaimed.

White Album, this racehorse did not take the lead.

She's actually competing with Stardust Illusion for the lead?

wrong……

It's not just a white photo album...

Throughout the race, all 12 racehorse girls except for Stardust Illusion started accelerating in the early stages of the race!

"How could this be?! They've become anxious so quickly? No... this isn't anxiety—"

The man with the binoculars shouted, initially with some confusion.

However, as he continued to observe the game through his binoculars... suddenly, the man with the binoculars realized what was happening on the field:

The 12 racehorse girls belong to different trainers and even different academies.

But at this moment, an invisible net is being woven by these 12 people working together...

The sole purpose of this vast network is to target their common enemy:

【Overlord】Stardust Illusion.

Completely eliminate her in the very early stages of the match!

(If we still want to win, this is the only way—)

Several trainers, scattered across the stands, lowered their heads in silence, all thinking the same thing:

(Young King, don't blame us for being despicable!)

Chapter 144 1 vs 12: The Web Weaving Begins in the Early Stages!

Parallel running, sprinting, speed changes, cornering, equipment training, tire dragging, weighted running, slope training...

"Not enough! If a racehorse girl like me, who isn't particularly strong, wants to win, I can only practice even harder. Hard work can make up for lack of talent!"

White Album, this horse racing girl has been in the industry for three years.

Over the past three years, she has gradually transformed from an innocent girl who initially longed to become the strongest racehorse girl and shine in G1 races into the person she is today.

In G3 level matches, he made one move; in G2 level matches, he never made a single move. Even when he managed to make a move, he could only maintain the state of being able to continue the game.

As an ancient poem says, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand," and the same applies to the realm of horse racing girls.

She and her two teammates, Ambitious (4 wins out of 16) and Lava Giant (2 wins out of 7), seemed destined to be mere foils to other strong opponents.

Time and time again.

Time and time again, they could barely compete for a spot in the competition, so as not to have to withdraw from the open arena due to performance and financial reasons.

"We must persevere! If we can fully utilize the results of our three years of practice... then we will definitely win the championship!!!"

With a grand ideal, the eldest of the three racehorses, just as her name suggests, has always steadfastly inspired the other two.

However, even so... this kind of life has finally come to an end.

"...What is this?"

White Album sat in the lounge looking at the documents in front of him, a premonition already forming in his mind.

"...This is the team's current income and expenditure ledger, as well as the tactics for the match in two days."

Their trainer replied in a very low voice.

She and her trainer both went to watch yesterday's game.

She and her two opponents, Stardust Illusion, displayed strength beyond everyone's imagination in that match.

Let alone cutting down the ruby ​​known as the "greatest masterpiece," Stardust Illusion's strength has clearly fallen far behind that of the others!

In other words, an average runner like her has even less reason to believe she could beat her opponent.

"...You're aware that the team's financial situation has been getting worse and worse."

"You've been running with the grand ideal for three years, which is longer than the average retirement period for female racehorses."

The trainer sighed, his head bowed low, unwilling to look up at the racehorse in front of him.
