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

Raising her knee high and pulling her right arm back to her waist, Aigumi readjusted her posture.

I can feel... the raging power within those legs!

"I haven't lost... The only time I'll lose is the moment I die!!!"

With that shout, she stepped straight out with her right foot.

boom!

He stomped his right shoe into the grass with force, and the grass clippings under his running shoe were scattered in all directions by the huge impact.

The pain caused by the immense force of the impact contorted Orihime's face and body, and she let out a pitiful cry.

But—it can still withstand it!

Amidst the explosive, rapid footsteps, the starlight tore a rift in the darkness.

The stars twinkled overhead, their light shining down on her. Though it was just light, she could feel a force propelling her forward.

Like Vega, but this peculiar feeling seemed to be about to completely unleash her power.

At this moment, Origami felt as if she and Orihime were completely overlapping.

That's right... As long as you're in the game, you can feel her presence, and she will respond to your call.

And when you overlap with "her"... you become infinitely powerful!

The power surging from within her was like a tidal wave, seemingly severing all the constraints of gravity and endlessly propelling her towards the direction she adored.

The light of Vega summoned her companions.

Come on, rice bath!

"If you consider yourself a hero of darkness, then I am—"

"Mi Yu said that it's no longer necessary."

The sound of rice bathing rose softly from beside Ai Mu Zhi Ji, interrupting her passionate voice.

The pitch-black aura suddenly surged, once again obscuring the Vega star, which had just been inseparable from Orihime.

Orihime felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, as if all connection with "her" had been completely severed.

"occur……"

What happened?

My instinct was to ask Orihime this question.

However, when she opened her mouth, she found that she could no longer even utter a complete sentence.

An unprecedented dryness completely sealed her throat, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

Nothingness, another dimension... Countless chaotic thoughts flooded into Orihime's mind uncontrollably.

Didn't I tell you already?

A soft, non-existent voice whispered in his ear, delivering its verdict on Orihime's love:

If you continue using that... something irreversible will happen.

That feeling of crisis I had earlier turned out to be a warning!

Chapter 206 A Power Different from That of the Same Domain

A few seconds later, at the finish line of the training field.

"Narita Shirohito, first move; Miura Bourbon, second move; Stardust Illusion, third move; McQueen, fourth move; Miyu, fifth move; Adoring Orihime, sixth move..."

Since Hiiro Toyama had already walked towards her assigned racehorse girl, Hana Tojo quietly announced the result of the training race. She paused for a moment before looking at the other two trainers beside her:

"What are your thoughts on the final sprint of these two runners, Miyu and Aimu Zhiji?"

She didn't ask about the other runners' results. Excluding Stardust Illusion, whose weighted suit weighed almost 60kg, the other runners' results were basically as expected.

After all, it was just a training match, and she didn't expect Narita Shirahito to unleash any extraordinary power.

But in this training match, there were other things that deserved her attention the most.

The silence lasted for a while.

"Is Ai-Hime's love for Orihime during the training match... a burst of fighting spirit that pushed her limits?"

"But then it felt like it was interrupted... and that player named Mi Yu... I've never seen anything like it before. He was clearly unleashing his full potential, but I couldn't sense any real fighting spirit from him..."

Nanzaka hesitated as she recalled the scene from earlier, somewhat doubting her own judgment.

These trainers, although they don't have the unique talent of racehorse girls to see unusual things on the track.

For example, there are scenes of fierce battle spirits erupting, domains shattering, and even the runners' momentum coalescing into huge phantoms, fighting in the sky above the racecourse.

However, as trainers who spend a lot of time with the racehorse girls, they can more or less sense the presence of their aura.

For example, even if they cannot see the grand scenes of battle aura bursting or domains expanding, their sixth sense as trainers can still receive some information so as not to miss them.

However, the rice bath just now was different.

Not only Minamisaka, but also Tojo Hana and Nishizaki Ryu, these two veteran trainers, did not sense anything unusual.

It's like how Rice Bath suddenly gained a huge boost in attributes and then defeated Orihime with its basic performance.

But how is that possible?

Nishizaki Ryu didn't speak immediately. He looked at the laser rangefinder in front of the finish line, which displayed Mi Yu's speed as he crossed the finish line:

17.14 m/s.

"In the last 200 meters, I reached this speed, 17.14 m/s... which isn't much different from the current fastest runner in terms of last-foot speed..."

"But Miyu should be a late-maturing racehorse girl, how could she have such top-notch speed so early?"

The unruly man frowned. Although rice baths weren't his responsibility, as a true Hermes enthusiast, Nishizaki Ryuuya was equally worried.

“I’m worried that this isn’t normal. Although we didn’t sense anything like battle aura or domain, any outburst will definitely cause harm to the body.”

"Won't that speed put any stress on Mi Yu's body?"

"That guy Toyama, is he criticizing his racehorse girl again?" Tojo Hana frowned, resting her chin on her hand as she looked in Toyama Hiiro's direction.

"After all, there's the precedent of Ennis the Wind God... why don't you go and warn her?"

As she spoke, Tojo Hanako raised her chin, her back flushed.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ahua."

Of course, Nishizaki Ryu knew she was talking about him, and he shrugged helplessly.

"No matter what, we don't have the right to directly interfere with other trainers' strategies, do we? Besides, even if you don't trust Toyama, don't you trust the other two racehorse trainers in her team: Airi Soko and Super Stream?"

"They won't let Hikari Toyama abuse Miyu, don't worry."

After speaking, the three trainers remained silent for a moment.

Seemingly agreeing with Nishizaki Ryu's statement, they also stopped discussing the matter and went on to take on their own roles as racehorse girls.

-----------

After the training match, there are many things to take care of.

First is Mi Yu. In this competition, although her result was only 5 out of 9 runners, it was not a remarkable achievement.

However, judging from her performance in the race, she was undoubtedly the most outstanding runner.

In the early to mid-stages of the match, the young girl did not display any particularly impressive moves. She remained at the very back of the team, quietly accumulating her strength.

This is largely consistent with the predictions made by Stardust Illusion.

Because among many runners, Mi Yu's physical fitness is probably not much different from that of Twin Turbo, so even if someone makes a runaway during the race, she absolutely cannot let it affect her rhythm.

Otherwise, Mi Yu would have completely lost his strength before the end of the competition and fallen into the final abyss.

According to Stardust Illusion's idea, this position should be maintained in the last 200 meters, where Mi Yu can unleash his full power. This way, even if he cannot compete for first place, he can still surpass his previous achievements.

And most importantly, she was able to complete the match on her own and overcome her fear of the arena.

But this time, the rice bath exceeded Stardust Illusion's expectations.

She suddenly accelerated at the final bend, and Mi Yu did not flinch in the face of Ai Mu Zhi Ji, who was bursting with fierce fighting spirit. This was simply unimaginable for Mi Yu, who had been trying to avoid the race.

This shows that, at least in this competition, she has indeed overcome her psychological barriers.

These obstacles generally have one notable characteristic: once you successfully adapt to them once, everything else goes extremely smoothly.

Because the fear of rice baths is actually like a "high threshold" blocking her way. Before crossing it, she feels that it is extremely difficult and impossible to do.

But once you get to go there yourself, you'll find that it's nothing special, and there's no need to be afraid anymore.

The Stardust Illusion also reveals that Mi Yu's mind must have made new breakthroughs, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to unleash new power at such a crucial moment, and even completely seal off his love for Orihime.

After the training session, Alice walked up lazily and pulled Mi Yu aside to start a mental health questionnaire test.

The results showed that the rice bath was indeed much better than before, and the test results could even be said to have reached a completely normal level.

Although Stardust Illusion always felt that... there was a strange, dark light occasionally shining in Mi Yu's eyes when she looked at him.

But since Alice said everything was fine, it must have been my imagination!

Another problem to be solved is the special breakthrough state of rice bath.

So what exactly is it?

According to Miyu's description, Stardust Illusion, Miura Bourbon, Alice Soko, and Super Stream all racked their brains but could not find a reasonable explanation.

"What's there to think about?"

Hikari Toyama rolled her eyes, then pulled out her beloved tablet from her pocket:

"We don't understand, but there will always be someone else who does..."

"Others?" Stardust Illusion tilted its head.
