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

There is actually no conflict between practicing more and holding operational meetings. It is mainly a matter of willingness.

Ikuno Didus and the others nodded silently, preparing to practice more according to the trainer's requirements after returning to Tresen Academy, and strive to be able to participate in the debut competition as soon as possible.

"Really?!"

"Yeah, practice! Practice! I want to practice!"

Twin Turbine's little fangs opened and closed, expressing her determination with words, but suddenly her slightly open mouth stopped, and she didn't close it when she realized something was wrong.

"Can……"

"But, Minamisaka, didn't Xiaoba practice too?"

Although when Barbatos first joined the team, he was able to directly register for the debut competition because he beat them in running.

But later on, Barbatos basically never practiced, and even when they were practicing, they could hardly see Barbatos and Nebula Sky.

Barbatos, who had just changed into slippers next to him, blinked.

She was just watching the show from the side, how did it get involved with her?

And she has been practicing secretly in Summoner's Rift, but you just haven't noticed.

However, as a senior horse girl who debuted earlier, she took the lead in not practicing in the team, so it seems normal that such a problem is occurring now.

"How do you know Barbatos hasn't been practicing?"

Nansaka asked back with a smile.

"This...this is not..."

The twin-turbos scratched their heads, wondering if this wasn't something everyone in the team knew about, like 1+1=2.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to practice, she said this mainly because she wants to be able to participate in the debut competition as soon as possible. It can’t be that Xiaoba and Xingyun Tiankong are still carrying them to practice, right?

How could such a thing happen? There was no need to hide the practice from her teammates, especially those whose debut competition had been staggered for such a long time.

Seeing the twin-turbo, Minamisaka smiled and shook his head.

"Just look at Barbatos' shoes and you'll see."

"shoe?"

“Could it be?!”

Ikuno Didus was the first to react, and a guess came to his mind: Could it be that Barbatos had been carrying the same horseshoe as before?

The horseshoe used for practice before the relay race!

You have to know that no matter how special the shoes are, they are not that special. The only thing that can be related to practice is probably the horseshoe under the shoes.

He turned around and walked to the entrance, squatted down and picked up the shoes that Barbatos had taken off.

Ikuno Didus's eyes widened. She felt it the moment she picked up the shoes.

Good weight!

It’s heavier than the previous horseshoe!

Does Barbatos also carry such weights in his daily life after the relay race?

Even though Uma Musume's strength far exceeds that of an adult male, carrying such a heavy load on a daily basis is no joke! Barbatos is nothing short of a monster!

Fortunately, it was a teammate, if it was an opponent.

It was hard for Ikuno Didus to imagine how many combat meetings it would take to defeat Barbatos.

Seeing Didus's distraction, the other friends came forward to feel the weight of the "shoes" and were shocked.

So Barbatos is always secretly involved in internal affairs?!

Even someone as strong as Barbatos is still practicing at this level?

Several people looked at each other, and they couldn't wait to go back to Tresen Academy to start their training plan.

"Okay, now you guys have a good rest."

"There will be pre-match interviews this afternoon."

Seeing his horse racing girls full of energy, Minamisaka left the room with satisfaction.

After this time, everyone should focus on practicing.

Chapter 116 Pre-match interview, are you qualified?

The autumn in November is already a little chilly.

Inside the Tokyo Racecourse, reporters have already set up their cameras and are waiting for the pre-race interviews.

Almost all the prominent elites from various media and newspapers have gathered here.

In the past, although the Keio Cup Junior Championship was a G2-level event, it was not outstanding among G2 events and did not require elite players like them to compete.

But this session is different.

Among the contestants this time is Barbatos, who is currently the most talked about topic.

There is also a "tacit understanding" between them who won the Keio Cup last year, and there is also a "dramatic development" in which they came here specifically to avenge their previous defeat in the G3 event due to a poor performance due to trash talk.

Even though outsiders still don’t know what Barbatos said at that time.

No matter what, it's a point that can spark discussion.

Of course, Dramatic Developments is not among the top three in popularity voting and will not participate in this pre-match interview.

From now until the end of the year, there will be a series of G1 competitions, which will usher in the annual feast. The Keio Cup is like the prelude to this feast.

Can Barbatos, who competed in the Keio Cup VII Trilogy 3, be called the "world's genius"? This is a battle to prove his worth.

The former Rigil member, Silent Suzuka, who is regarded as the "prodigy of the time", will face off against the legendary horse girl, the "Empress" of Rigil, Chizo, in a fierce battle at the Autumn Emperor's Award.

The battle for the title of "the world's genius" at the Kyoto Youth Championship of Rigil Condor is a battle to prove his worth.

Barbatos and Condor competed in the Hanshin and Chaoyang Cup Youth Specials respectively.

As well as the Autumn Flower Shoot, Chrysanthemum Shoot, Queen's Cup, Mile Championship, Japan Cup, Arima Kinen, several G1 races on dirt tracks and the Winter Dream Cup.

There is no doubt that the Winter Dream Cup will be the most anticipated topic this year.

If the Winter Dream Cup in previous years was a gathering of legendary horse racing ladies showing off their skills, this time it was like an ugly duckling among a group of white swans.

The ugly duckling may grow into a white swan in the future, but not now!

How big is the gap between the ugly duckling and the white swans, or can the ugly duckling pull off an upset? These are all hot topics that can set the Internet on fire.

Before the pre-match interviews begin.

The reporters who were interviewing started chatting. They were all elites from various newspapers and knew each other.

We are all competitors at work, but if we don’t talk about work, who isn’t a horse lover?

"This time, the tacit understanding between us is back to win the Jingwang Cup again. I'm afraid it's in jeopardy."

"Even if Barbatos doesn't participate, winning or losing is inherently uncertain. Do you think Barbatos will definitely win against Tacit Friends?"

This is not a G3 event. Several of the contestants in the Keio Cup have participated in G1-level competitions!

"Do you think you can beat that final sprint in the Tresen relay race?"

"If you can't keep a tight mark on Barbatos and can't match her with your last kick, you have to create distance in advance to have a chance."

"There's no way Barbatos will lose this competition."

A reporter said with great confidence, "Because she... might be the Uma Musume of the era!"

"Creation Era?!!"

The reporters looked at the person who spoke with disgusted expressions.

If this sentence is posted on the Internet, others will think that you are a fan of Barbatos, then the meaning of saying it here is completely different.

Everyone present had a deep understanding of Uma Musume, and they knew more than just finding topics to talk about and making wild guesses.

Historically speaking, horse girls who create an era often refer to those horse girls who can open up new areas!

She is not the kind of horse girl who sacrifices her life and is basically useless after opening a domain once, but the kind of horse girl who can open a domain multiple times!

For a moment, the crowd became quiet, and one could even hear the sound of swallowing.

"Is this news...confirmed?"

"She had already opened her domain when she fought Tamamo Cross."

Even if it was only once, the fact that she did not have any leg injuries or fractures afterwards and immediately participated in the competition again is enough to explain a lot.

"So... Winter Dream Cup..."

A weak voice sounded, and even though the sentence was not complete, everyone understood its meaning.

Does Barbatos, who can open his domain, have a chance to pull off an upset at the Winter Dream Cup and achieve an impossible move, but not finish last?!

This is something I never dared to imagine!

"Haha~"

"how could it be possible."

The originally silent crowd suddenly erupted in a cheerful atmosphere. Domains cannot be generalized. The legendary horse girl is powerful beyond just being able to open a domain.

"However, the fact that Barbatos might defeat a legendary horse girl could be written into a report."

“Isn’t that the same as a marketing account?”

"It's about us journalists, how can this be called a marketing account?"

"It makes money, it's not shabby."

They chatted like this, but there was no sign that anyone really wanted to rush back to write this kind of manuscript.

Time passed quickly, and the top three contestants had already arrived at the pre-match interview location accompanied by their respective trainers.

Barbatos is always the most popular player in any competition.

Popularity No. 2 - A tacit friend of the winner of the previous Keio Cup Junior Championship, Popularity No. 3 - A girl's smile.

Wearing standard sportswear, they stood in their respective positions.

Even those who have participated in G1-level competitions and have a tacit understanding of their own winning uniforms still wear standard sportswear.

Only in G1-level competitions can you wear the winning uniform, even if the legendary horse girl comes.

The spotlight shone on Barbatos and Minamisaka.

"Barbatos, are you confident you can win this competition and take the title of world's most talented player?"

"Until the game is over, the outcome is unpredictable, but..."

Barbatos clenched his fists, his tone brimming with confidence, "I won't lose."

No longer caring too much about the flag, she showed the confidence that young people should have, the confidence accumulated after repeated victories.

Noticing that Barbatos' words seemed a little different from those in previous interviews, the reporters immediately asked a few more questions.

Then he turned the camera to the direction of the tacit understanding.

"My friend, if you win this time, you will retain the Keio Cup Junior Championship. But will you feel any pressure against Barbatos?"

The reporter's questions were sharp, but they were also factual. After all, Barbatos' record was there.

"will not."

The tacit friend smiled slightly, "I'm just a little surprised that Barbatos's popularity has reached such a high level."

"But in sports, strength is far more important than popularity."

At this point, her eyes suddenly became sharp, "Let me test whether Barbatos is worthy of being called the world's genius!"

Chapter 117 Chapter 109

A remote place.

The Holy King Halo is gathering with his friends.

She didn't practice today because she had already made a dinner appointment with Wonderful Posture and Mejiro McQueen.

And there is also the Keio Cup Junior Championship today. Although it does not fit the appearance of a young lady, she has already agreed with her friends to watch Barbatos' game together during the dinner.

This is the strong opponent she will face next, and watching the game is a sign of respect for her opponent.
