Half of a Umamusume

"Contestants, please enter the gate." The host's voice was interspersed in the conversation between several people. After Zhou and Shuangqiji glared at each other, they began to walk towards the gate one after another.

Mejiro McQueen stretched her legs twice. This was her first OP match, and Mejiro McQueen not only had to win, but also had to win beautifully.

Because she is the horse girl of the Mejiro family.

I believe the other sisters of the Mejiro family are also watching her, so cheer her on...

"Snow White! Come on!" Mebai Dober shouted in the audience.

"You shouted the wrong thing, Dobertan." The Golden Ship twisted the Rubik's Cube.

"Ah, yes, Snow Dancer! Come on!"

Amid the cheers of the team, Fujiwara Shirayuki walked to the gate.

"Bai Xue." Te Bie Zhou, who was standing next to her, suddenly stopped and raised her fist to Bai Xue. "It's time to start."

Seeing this, Fujiwara Shirayuki understood what she meant. She stretched out her fist and bumped into the other person's fist, "You too, Xiaote, don't lose to me."

"All the horse girls have entered the gate!"

Fujiwara Shirayuki strikes a running start pose.

The twin-turbo grinned, revealing its sharp, serrated teeth.

No matter who her opponent is, she is going to shock everyone in this match!

"Turbo engine—"

Fully open!

With a 'clang' sound, the gate opened and a blue figure rushed out instantly.

Chapter 154: The shocking escape

The race started, and the blue figure rushed out first. With a sound like a curvature engine, the twin-turbo ran to the front of the team in the blink of an eye.

"Perfect exit!" the host passionately commented: "The twin turbo just flew out of the gate, instantly gaining a two-length advantage, and the gap is still increasing!"

“Daaaaaaah——!!” The car displayed amazing momentum from the very beginning, with the twin turbo continuously pushing forward. The horse girls next to it all had stunned expressions, and even Mejiro McQueen looked as if his jaw dropped.

Is this guy...crazy?

Of course not, this is the way to run a twin-turbo car. No tactical strategy is required, just keep rushing forward.

Bai Xue ran in the front row near the middle of the team, watching the Twin Turbos going away, her eyes twitching rapidly. She couldn't copy the other's running style, not only because they specialized in different areas and had a clear gap in endurance, but also because in addition to physical strength, there was another mysterious factor for the horse girl.

Root.

Or to put it in more common terms, it is mental strength and willpower. When the horse girls are exhausted, they can use their willpower to force themselves to run to the finish line.

There are many examples of using mental power, and even the most recent example can be cited. At that moment in the central arena, Mi Yu's physical strength was exhausted, but she relied on willpower to surpass an opponent.

This is the mysterious aspect of one’s nature, which is difficult to explain using training knowledge.

Twin Turbo is a horse girl with a very strong will. It's not that her willpower is stronger than others, but her special physique can transform pain that is pushed to the limit into happiness, which will greatly enhance her ability to withstand stress.

This means that the Twin Turbo can still maintain a fairly fast speed when its stamina is exhausted. If Trainer Minamisaka makes a big fuss about this, the Twin Turbo will become a masochist who uses rampage as his main running method. Such an opponent who can disrupt the rhythm of the entire game is quite scary.

For example, now some people are confused by the twin-turbo, and don’t know whether they should catch up or maintain the pace.

In the audience seats, Fujiwara Chiya was looking at the arena. Mi Yu's tail was wrapped around his neck, and his forehead was also embraced by Bai Nen's arms. The upper part was covered by the arms, and the lower part was covered by the tail hair. Fujiwara Chiya was in a state of extremely poor vision.

Especially since Mi Yu's tail exuded a smell of milk, it made Fujiwara Chiye feel dizzy and he couldn't help but want to sleep wrapped in the other's tail.

In such a difficult environment, Fujiwara Chiya struggled to analyze the situation on the field.

Through observations that day, if the dual turbos continued to accelerate, the opponent should have completely exhausted his physical strength at around 1,300 meters, and would have needed to rely on his root strength to support the remaining 300 meters. As for how fast the root strength could run, Fujiwara Chiya had no idea.

However, considering Bai Xue's maximum speed, the twin turbo cannot open up a distance of ten lengths at most, which is a big difference. Otherwise, the risk in the final stage will be too great and it will be difficult to catch up.

After judging the twin turbo, Fujiwara Chiya shifted her attention to McQueen and Teppanyaki behind. McQueen was currently two horse lengths ahead of Snow White, running neck and neck with the other horse girls. She did not choose the inner lane which saved the most energy, but instead chose the more changeable middle position.

It seems that McQueen is prepared to respond flexibly in this game and does not want to follow the previous way.

For experienced horse girls, this can increase their tolerance for error, but McQueen, like Snow White, only has experience from daily simulation races and event races, so there is a question mark in terms of decision-making.

As for Xiao Te at the end, she was at the back of the team, still using her most commonly used running method.

She stared at the twin turbo that had been running wild since the beginning of the race with her eyes wide open. Perhaps she had never thought that the twin turbo that looked like a child on the outside but was even more childish at heart could run so fast, which made Te Bie Zhou a little impatient.

It seems like everyone is overwhelmed by the twin turbo, which is OK, because I’m overwhelmed too.

Fujiwara Shirayuki's eyes were always on the twin-turbo. She was afraid that she would make a wrong judgment and misjudge the opponent's physical strength, resulting in missing the opportunity to accelerate.

It shouldn't be possible.

After being taught by Fumino Nanase during this period, she has gained a lot of new insights into Uma Musume. She knows how to judge the physical energy consumption of Uma Musume based on their movements, just by comparing the changes in their movement swings at the beginning of the race and during the acceleration period.

It sounds simple, but in practice it is difficult to make judgments as it is affected by various factors.

Fortunately, she can work together with Qianye. She runs on the field while Qianye observes from behind. One feels the physical consumption while the other records the changes in movements. Relying on this ability, Bai Xue's experience grows rapidly. She now also has a certain ability to judge the physical consumption of her opponent.

Once she realized that the twin-turbo's energy consumption was not right, she immediately exerted her strength.

"The race has come to the first bend, and the Twin Turbo is still in the lead! What a fast speed! The gap between the second place and the horse girl is six lengths!"

The audience was all amazed at the opponent's momentum. It was extremely rare for a horse racing girl to be so far ahead at the beginning of the race, especially among the new horse racing girls who had just debuted in this session. Twin Turbo was a unique example.

“Hahaha!! Emperor, did you see that? This is the strength of this Turbine! Aaaaaaa——!!”

The twin turbos run with passion.

At Tresen Academy, in trainer Fumino Nase's office, Emperor Donghai and Kusagami Fei were sitting on the sofa, watching the broadcast on TV.

"Too arrogant, Bai Xue, what are you doing? Hurry up and overtake her!"

Seeing that blue guy was running faster and faster, the Emperor of the East China Sea slammed the table anxiously.

"Don't be impatient, Xuejiang is waiting for an opportunity." Unable to bear the emperor's noisy look, Cao Shangfei spoke.

"That's right, a wrestler must be patient!" Condor clenched his fists.

Standing behind the sofa, Nase Fumino narrowed her eyes.

The opponent's running style seems brainless, but it is actually not simple. If the horse girl behind continues to let the opponent speed up, the situation will be dangerous.

What would you do if it were you, Fujiwara Shirayuki?

The host's voice came out from the TV: "It's still accelerating, the twin turbos are still accelerating! What kind of a run is this!! Seven horse lengths... eight horse lengths... nine horse lengths!!"

The host stood up.

"Ten horse lengths! A huge difference has occurred!!"

The twin-turbo is a full ten lengths ahead of the second place!

After hearing this, Fujiwara Shirayuki finally started to move.

Chapter 155 I don’t understand the game, but I understand Snow White

When the race reached the middle stage, Twin Turbo had opened up a gap of ten lengths from the second place. Bai Xue had been paying attention to the opponent's movements. When she found that Twin Turbo still had a lot of energy left, she knew that she could not wait any longer.

If I continue to let her widen the gap with me, I will definitely not be able to catch up with her in the straight line!

Of all the competitors present, she was the only one who had the knowledge and ability of a trainer, as well as a good field of vision to see the entire field… not particularly good, but good enough to see a straight line of play!

So Fujiwara Shirayuki understood the consequences of letting the twin turbo run. Others had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and were still waiting for the twin turbo to run out of energy.

In fact, fleeing is a strategy in itself!

As expected of the experienced trainer Nanzaka, he really found a solution.

In the audience, a gentle-looking man in a grey suit was watching the race with a serious expression. He knew about the problem with the twin-turbos. As long as the opponent got close to other horse girls, they would feel anxious and would not be able to think calmly. Eventually, they would lose their minds and rush to the front.

Whether it is in the lead, in the middle or in the wrong place, as long as there are other horse girls around, the Twin Turbo will be quite nervous, even fearful.

She always appears fearless in front of others, but is actually very timid inside. It is no exaggeration to say that Twin Turbine is a child who hides her weak heart with her wild appearance. She cannot overcome her nervousness and run with other horse racing girls.

In this case, there is only one way for the twin-turbo to escape - run away.

It was not just an ordinary escape, but a violent escape that allowed her to completely vent the tension and anxiety in her heart. This running method completely abandoned the principle of maintaining physical strength and aimed to burn out the body.

Based on this running method, Nanban arranged a series of targeted training for Twin Turbine. He wanted to give Twin Turbine the capital to run wild and max out her physical strength.

The decision proved to be very successful, and in the following rounds of testing, the twin-turbo engine achieved quite good results.

Not only that, this running style is also very confusing, making all opponents think that the other party is running away without any plan and not considering them as opponents at all.

That's the case with today's game.

After Twin Turbine started to escape, no one caught up with it, and it easily established a huge advantage. No one knew that Twin Turbine still had some strength left, and could have given it a try at the last moment, but by the time these people noticed it, it was already too late.

It’s almost there, it’s coming soon…

Trainer Nanzaka clenched his fists.

As long as they can establish a two-length advantage, the race will be won!

Come on, Turbo!

Nansaka screamed in his heart.

Hurry up while no one finds out yet!

Just when this thought came to Nansaka's mind, suddenly a white figure moved. She lowered her body, stood out from the team, and chased after the twin turbo at the head of the team.

This acceleration came without any warning or reason, and the game was not at all critical juncture at this moment.

what! ?

Nanban was shocked.

Speed ​​up!? Why are you here!

He held onto the fence with both hands.

There was no change in the team, the only situation was the twin turbo, and it was obvious that the opponent was going for the twin turbo!

Could it be that she saw through my strategy?

No... How is this possible! Even the veteran trainers couldn't react to his strategy, not to mention that the other party was just a new horse girl who had transferred to the school not long ago. Where did she get the experience and judgment skills?

Minamisaka denied it.

There is only one possibility.

That is because the opponent is impatient and cannot wait until the twin turbos are exhausted, and this timing happens to be the critical moment for the opponent to establish an advantage.

What a coincidence, what a coincidence! It was completely the goddess of luck that favored us. If we had given the twin turbo a two-length advantage, we would have won the race!

Unfortunately, the other party did not give him this opportunity.

"It's the Snow Dancer!" The host shouted when he saw the person coming out: "The Snow Dancer has started to accelerate. Is it preparing to compete with the Twin Turbo? "

Snow White! ?

Mebai McQueen was startled. She looked behind her and found that Bai Xue was rushing towards her.

Why……

She couldn't understand why Bai Xue had to accelerate here. The race was only in the second half and hadn't entered the final bend yet, but she was accelerating here.

Could it be that she wanted to surpass me in advance? To put me down?

wrong.

Mejiro McQueen noticed that Shirayuki was looking past her, at the twin turbos ahead.

Could it be that Snow White’s target is that runaway horse girl?

Is it necessary? Why not just wait until she runs out of energy? Why are you getting impatient now?

Mejiro McQueen felt sorry for Shirayuki's wrong judgment. She rushed in too early and Shirayuki's subsequent physical strength might not be able to keep up.

Just when Mejiro McQueen was about to sit back and do nothing, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Can't stand it... Snow White? She recalled how Snow White wore heavy horseshoes and worked hard to train. She remembered how no matter how many mistakes her classmates made, Snow White would repeat them over and over again like a teacher.
