I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

For the glory of the Mejiro family, we must not lose the Spring Emperor Award!

……

Tresen Academy.

The condor's legs swung rapidly, and if someone was near her, they could hear the sound of the wind breaking through.

Her figure followed Maruzenski's back, holding on to him tightly, preventing her from widening the distance between them, just when she wanted to close the distance between them.

No matter how hard I tried, it still seemed a little off.

"Is this the only way this time?"

Tojo Hana stood at the edge of the training ground.

While using the tablet to record the current status of the Condor, he glanced at the trending search on the tablet about Barbatos signing up for the Spring Emperor Award.

Barbatos participates in the Spring Emperor Award?

He frowned slightly, then crossed out the message and didn't take it to heart.

Although I don’t know what Minamisaka, who is also a trainer, was thinking, why would he let Barbatos participate in the long-distance Spring Emperor’s Award.

But this matter has nothing to do with her.

It also has nothing to do with the Condor who is currently practicing hard.

For Shenying, now she only needs to prepare for the cherry blossom viewing and doesn't need to care about other things.

The Spring Emperor's Award is not included in the Condor's upcoming schedule.

After the last time she let Shenying and Maruzen compete, this is the 13th time. While Shenying continues to train hard according to her plan, he will also compete with Maruzen from time to time.

And each time, it seems that there is a significant improvement compared to the previous one.

It can be said that the Nebula Sky, Holy King Halo, and Special Week in Yayoi Appreciation are all good, and all have very eye-catching performances.

But in Tojo Hana's opinion, it seems to be still half a step behind the current Condor.

This is something she can feel from her many years of experience as a trainer.

This generation of Umamusume truly boasts many geniuses, and can truly be called the golden generation of Japanese horse racing, with Condor being one of the most outstanding.

Her talent seemed to have no limit.

To be a little selfish, she felt that Condor's talent was superior to Barbatos'.

The simplest example is that Barbatos has mastered the domain, but today's Condor has not.

People in the industry often say that when talking about how powerful a Uma Musume is, they refer to whether she has opened her domain. However, the domain is not absolute. If the Uma Musume's normal speed is fast enough, even if she has opened her domain, she may not be able to outrun those who have not.

A good example is that Narita Bairen, who didn't open his territory, outran the heavy artillery that opened its territory.

On the Cup of Dreams, Barbatos needed to open his domain in order to catch up with the legends, but today's Condor can do the same even without a domain.

"What does this feel like?"

Just as Tojo Hana was thinking about something, Fuji Miracle's voice sounded beside her.

There was a hint of surprise and joy in his tone.

"Well, did you feel it too?"

Narita Hakujin smiled as he watched the two people competing on the training ground. This feeling was like the moment when a domain was about to be opened, and Maruzen was able to open a domain, so the only one who could give people this feeling was the Condor.

The "field" is a very strange thing. It can only be seen by the horse girl who can open the field.

Similarly, when one has the ability to open a domain, or is about to open a domain, other horse girls who have opened their domains can also feel it.

This was also the era when Oguruma was in use.

When Oguruma and Tamamo Cross first fought, neither of them had yet opened their domains, but Rudolf Symbol and Maruzenski, who were watching the fight, were able to say "both of them".

Because at that time they already had the ability to open the field and had reached the threshold of opening the field.

It just lacks an opportunity.

At this moment, Condor's vision seemed to be about to be shattered, yet it seemed as if something was missing.

……

Narita City.

Nebula family.

A powerful aura and oppressive feeling swept across the crude training ground, and Barbatos' figure turned into white lightning and ran across the training ground.

1 lap… 2 laps… 3 laps…

The "territory" that used to consume a lot of physical energy is no longer a big deal to Barbatos now.

The amount of physical strength required to open the domain has not changed, but Barbatos's current physical strength is no longer comparable to that of the Winter Dream Cup.

If her physical strength was 1 during the Winter Dream Cup, then her current physical strength is probably 5!

This is the change brought about by daily high-intensity weight training.

The weight that other horse girls dare not maintain for a long time is nothing if she can treat it.

Moreover, after taking off the weight, the footsteps are very light, and the normal speed has also been greatly improved.

"Cherry Blossom Viewing, here I come!"

Chapter 216 Welcome Back (Two in One)

Three days before the cherry blossom viewing.

Barbatos stepped into the Tresen Academy after a long absence.

Originally, she planned to wait until the day of the cherry blossom viewing and go directly to the Hanshin Racecourse to participate in the cherry blossom viewing.

However, she still missed one thing.

That is the pre-match interview session before every game.

As a G1-level competition, reporters often choose to go directly to Tresen Academy for interviews.

If the contestant was not one of the top three most popular horse racing girls, she would certainly not receive such treatment, but she is undoubtedly the most popular one.

"I was thinking about maintaining a state of non-distinction between King and King before the match."

Barbatos shrugged jokingly to himself.

Unlike when he left Tresen Academy, he was still pulling a suitcase filled with some clothes he bought while recuperating at Nebula Sky's home.

It has been nearly four months since I left Tresen Academy after the New Year. It is like a student who has been isolated at home for a long time returning to school, with little emotions about things like attending classes.

It’s more about the feeling of being able to see classmates and friends.

Her figure shuttled among the crowd of Tresen Academy. Many horse girls couldn't help but look back when passing by her, to make sure that Barbatos had returned to the academy.

"Barbatos!"

A polite voice with a hint of surprise came from the horse girl in front of him.

The familiar figure waved towards Barbatos.

Barbatos was no stranger to the horse girl in front of him. Although they were not classmates or on the same team, they had met twice in competitions.

They are also old rivals.

It was when she was competing with Barbatos for the first time that the horse girl came out late because of Barbatos's greeting - a dramatic development.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Barbatos stopped and smiled in response, "During this cherry blossom viewing, you should have come up with a plan to deal with me, right?"

Compared with the first battle of the Classic Triple Crown, the first battle of the Mares Triple Crown has attracted much less attention in previous years, and many horse racing girls will prepare to participate in the classic-level competition.

This year, because of her and Shenying, the discussion about the Sakura Contest has increased, and many of their former rivals have also participated in the Sakura Contest.

Prepare to take revenge at the cherry blossom viewing event.

It is not wise to give up after losing the game or realizing the gap between each other.

While chasing powerful opponents, you will also grow rapidly.

The dramatic development is that after experiencing two defeats against Barbatos, Yue/Yi still chose to participate in the Sakura Viewing competition.

Barbatos, who had studied the information of all the opponents in Sakura Appreciation with Xingyun Tiankong, was still able to react the moment he saw the opponent.

In a dramatic development, Sakura Ranbu, who lost to Barbatos in the special youth tournament, made the same choice.

"This time, I will definitely not let you surpass me easily!"

The dramatic developments, which were always extremely polite, were spoken this time with unusual seriousness and force.

In order to catch up with Barbatos, she has also done a lot of training during this period, and has won one G3 and one G2 championship, and is currently on a two-game winning streak.

Umamusume is ranked 4th in popularity among the cherry blossom fans.

"Won't I easily surpass you?"

"Then I'll wait and see."

Barbatos smiled faintly and did not choose to engage in pre-match trash talk in advance. Instead, he simply said a few words and said goodbye to the dramatic development, continuing to walk towards her and Nebula Sky's dormitory.

Regarding how much the dramatic development has improved compared to before.

She and Xingyun Tiankong had also witnessed the dramatic developments in the recent game.

It can be said that she has improved a lot and is now capable enough to compete for the first place in the G2 level competition. Even among the G1 level horse girls of all ages, she has reached the middle level.

If it was me before the Winter Dream Cup, I would just be left in the dust in front of the opponent without using any skills.

You can win by using your skills, and the gap between you and your opponent won't widen by more than 10 horse lengths. This is an enemy that must be taken seriously.

The dramatic development happened after he met Barbatos by chance, had a brief conversation with him and watched him leave.

She felt something was wrong for a moment. The way Barbatos spoke to her just now seemed a little off, as if he was not the opponent for the next game.

But she had no proof.

She didn't have time to dwell on these things, as she still had training to do.

……

Barbatos met many horse girls who greeted her along the way, but not every one of them would participate in the cherry blossom viewing as dramatic developments would have liked.

Instead, some horse girls who were younger than her expressed some admiration for her and cheered her on in advance for the Sakura Festival, hoping that they could also become horse girls like Barbatos-senpai after their debut competition.

There were also some horse racing girls I knew who asked about my injuries and gave me encouragement.

Barbatos responded to their greetings with a smile one by one, and walked and stopped until he arrived at the door of the dormitory building.

The dormitory door happened to open at this time.

Two figures walked out from inside, seemingly discussing something. One had a masculine handsomeness, and the other had dark skin and the aura of a big sister.

"Fuji-senpai, the big sister of Amazon."

"Barbatos?"

Seeing Barbatos, Ling Amazon's eyes lit up, "How is it? Has your leg injury fully recovered?"

"I've fully recovered. Now I can climb eighteen floors without any problem."

Seeing an acquaintance, Barbatos replied half-jokingly.

Although they suffered a crushing defeat at the Winter Dream Cup, a match is a match, and losing is due to their own lack of strength, and it will not affect the friendship between the two sides.

"Yeah, that's good."

Amazon smiled in relief, but then there was a hint of ill intent in that smile.

"You must have missed a lot of classes during your time on leave. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me, Big Sister, and I'll tutor you."

It would be best if I could take the make-up exam with her.

Amazon added in his heart that it was much better to have an acquaintance take the blame than to be dragged by that Qi Cao guy to tutoring alone.

Fuji Miracle grabbed Amazon's tail from behind with some helplessness.

"After the cherry blossom viewing, if you find anything you don't understand about the course, you can ask me."

"Oh, I see."

"Thank you, Fuji-senpai."
