Half of a Umamusume

"That's great, Bai Xue." Mi Yu clapped his hands as if he was encouraging a child.

"Then I won't disturb your training."

After watching the other person leave, Mi Yu ran away in a hurry. After he was far away, Mi Yu looked at the water bottle in his hand.

From now on, Bai Xue will be her sister. Due to the previous grudges, her relationship with Bai Xue is very ordinary. But now it is different. Bai Xue has become her relative. Mi Yu wants to get closer to her and have a good relationship with her, not to mention that Bai Xue also gave her such a beautiful rose. Maybe in Bai Xue's heart she is a very good friend.

Thinking of this, Mi Yu felt a little guilty. After all, Bai Xue had wanted to be friends with her for a long time, but she only began to accept Bai Xue after her relationship with her brother was confirmed.

Mi Yu...is still an immature person.

Fortunately, there is still room for recovery. She just isn't that enthusiastic towards Bai Xue and has never said any gossip about her because of her identity. Next, she will get along with the other party in a friendly manner and try to improve Bai Xue's favorability as soon as possible!

After the training, Fujiwara Chiya asked everyone to go back first and left Shirayuki alone. The reward race was about to start, and he wanted to let Shirayuki train on his own for a while and see if there were any problems with her running.

At present, Fujiwara Chiya has discovered a not-particularly fatal weakness in Shirayuki, which is that on a counterclockwise track, Shirayuki will involuntarily float outwards during a turn.

This is nothing. For Bai Xue, her acceleration can be better exerted on the outside, but she can save more energy in the early and middle stages of the game.

This brings up a problem. If Bai Xue did not run to the outer lane when turning, but was trapped inside, her habit of drifting outward would become a hindrance. In order not to collide with others, she would have to slow down, and this would make her miss the opportunity to accelerate.

Of course, the probability of this happening is very small. Not to mention why anyone would spend more energy to turn parallel to her on the outside lane, there are a lot of opportunities to come to the outside lane in the early and middle stages alone.

But Fujiwara Chiya prefers to be cautious. He hopes to avoid these hidden risks. Who knows what will happen if bad luck strikes and he encounters such a situation one day?

Just as Fujiwara Chiya was observing and asking Shirayuki to turn around, a gentle voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Trainer Qianye, haven't you finished get off work yet?"

The voice that used to make him feel comfortable suddenly made Fujiwara Chiya's hair stand on end. He was so nervous that he made an incoherent sound, "Tetsuna, why are you here with me!?"

"What are you talking about, Qianye? Why are you so panicked?" Junchuan Tezuna smiled.

"I'm not panicking, I'm normal." Fujiwara Chiya calmed himself down. His soul was almost scared to death. If Tetsuna knew what he had done, it would not be as simple as just a kiss to make him faint.

His small body is nothing compared to Ma Niang. It is said that an arm cannot twist a thigh, and even the thighs of two adults may not be able to twist Ma Niang's arms.

"Really?" Junchuan Tezuna narrowed her eyes. Based on her understanding of Qianye, she knew that the other party must be hiding something from this expression.

"Qian Ye, you didn't do anything bad behind my back, did you?"

Even though Qianye hadn't responded to her confession, Junchuan Tezuna no longer cared, as Trainer Zenzai had said that the agreement made at that time was still valid, Qianye was hers, and she could do whatever she wanted.

If Qianye doesn't behave, she will use extreme measures.

Fujiwara Chiya swallowed.

Although Suruga Tezuna was clearly smiling, Fujiwara Chiya always felt that she was not far from death.

"I... I was training Shirayuki. She had some problems and I was thinking of a solution. And then you came, Tetsuna." Fujiwara Chiya pretended to be calm and made up a fairly decent lie.

After taking a serious look at Qianye's face, Junchuan Tezuna said with a smile: "Is that so? Sorry to bother you."

"without……"

"Speaking of which, Bai Xue is also going to participate in the big prize competition. What is she lacking?"

"I'm working on her cornering skills."

"If you don't mind, could you let me take a look?"

"Can you tell?"

"Well, actually I am quite knowledgeable about the game."

Hearing the words 'quite knowledgeable about the competition', Fujiwara Chiya narrowed his eyes.

"Could it be that Tetsuna, you are a horse girl?"

"you caught me."

"No wonder, ordinary horse girls don't have as much strength as you."

When Fujiwara Chiya was pinned down, she felt as if she was held in an iron hoop, unable to move at all.

"Then please help me take a look."

"Of course. By the way, if you don't mind, why don't we just have a match? For me, it will be easier to find the opponent's shortcomings through competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fujiwara Chiya felt a kind of domineering aura from Surukawa Tezuna.

Chapter 204: Incredible Start

In the evening, Tetsuna Shunkawa came to the training ground and was stunned when she saw her opponent, Chiya Gotowara. She was not wearing the conspicuous green OL uniform, but instead changed into a training suit, with her brown ponytail swaying gently behind her.

As expected, Shunkawa Tezuna is a horse girl, and her tail is hidden in her clothes. However, she still wears the green hat on her head, as if this is the only thing she will not compromise on, so much so that Fujiwara Chiya thinks that the hat is her real body.

"What's wrong, Qianye, looking at me like that?"

"This is the first time I see you wearing a training suit." Fujiwara Chiya murmured. How should I put it? Tsuna Satsukawa looks young beyond her age, and this is reflected to the fullest after she put on the training suit. If you don't know her, you will definitely mistake Tsuna Satsukawa for a student.

“It feels quite suitable.”

"Haha, this is the training suit I wore when I was a student." Tetsuna Shunkawa smiled. She never thought that she would one day step onto the court.

After not wearing it for such a long time, she found that the training suit had become a little tight, especially around the chest, which made her feel a little breathless.

"How would Tetsuna fare if she were a horse girl?"

"Hmm... not bad."

Until now she had not known what it felt like to fail.

Fujiwara Chiya pinched his chin. He seemed to have never heard of the name of Tetsuna Surugi in Uma Musume. However, there were so many people participating in the competition every year, and it was impossible for him to remember all of them, especially Tetsuna Surugi's age. He was still in school when she competed, and he didn't have time to pay attention.

After figuring it out, Fujiwara Chiya nodded.

Although the time is a bit far away, Uma Musume will enter a period of decline after the stage of becoming an authentic character. During this period of time, Tsuna Sakura's strength should have declined a lot, but she should be able to be a sparring partner for Shirayuki.

Soon, Shirayuki came over after changing her clothes. Since Tsuna needed to conceal her identity for unknown reasons, her training with Shirayuki could not be seen by others, so she chose this time when no one was around.

"Good evening, Shirayuki-san."

"Good evening, Miss Tetsuna."

"No need to add 'little', just call me Sister Tezuna." Junchuan Tezuna said with a smile. Given her relationship with Qianye, there was no need to use a honorific title.

"H-Hand-Tsuna-sister..."

"Well, then let's wait for Qianye to give the order and we two will start the race. The distance is 1,800 meters."

"it is good."

"And Shirayuki, remember to be prepared to go all out, otherwise I won't be able to see you turn, and I won't be able to offer suggestions."

"Give it your all? Sister Tetsuna... I'm not weak."

"I know, that's why I said that."

If your strength is too weak, it will be useless even if you give it your all.

Fujiwara Shirayuki narrowed her eyes, while Shogawa Tezuna still had that gentle smile on her face. She remembered that in the afternoon, after Shogawa Tezuna said he wanted to compete, she felt an indescribable sense of oppression in her body, which made Fujiwara Chiya tremble. Maybe Tezuna was stronger than she looked.

Thinking of this, Shirayuki took a deep breath. She was a horse girl preparing to participate in a big prize race. It would be too embarrassing if she couldn't even outrun a long-retired athlete. Although letting Tetsuna lose the race might damage her face, Shirayuki had to defeat her.

So please forgive my disrespect, Tetsuna, and I will let Qianye apologize to you when the time comes.

The two of them stood at the starting point and slowly got into a starting position. At this moment, Bai Xue suddenly heard a strange sound coming from Tezuna next to her. There was a crisp crackling sound from her knuckles, and the soil under her feet bulged slightly. For no reason, Bai Xue suddenly felt a sense of nervousness. Qian Ye also couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the moment he gave the starting order.

The ground shook.

Bang-!

Fujiwara Shirayuki felt something flying past her. When she started to move and landed, Tetsuna Shogawa had already opened up a gap of one horse length between her and her.

What a joke! ?

Bai Xue's eyes widened, and Qianye even forgot to press the stopwatch.

Her start was among the best among the freshmen, not much worse than Emperor and the others. Even the triple crown champion Narita Shirahito praised her highly. However, this start that made Shirayuki quite proud, ended up being left behind by the opponent by a full length of horse length!

How is this possible! Hasn't Tsuna long passed the time of transformation? Why does she still have such a strong power? Even more than Shirayuki.

After a brief surprise, Shirayuki quickly adjusted her state and chased after the opponent. Now was not the time to worry about why Tsuna was so strong. As an active player, how could she lose to a retired horse girl!

Quickening her pace, Fujiwara Shirayuki closely followed in the footsteps of Surukawa Tezuna.

The green eyes glanced back.

As expected, my body has become much stiffer after not exercising for a long time. If I were at my peak, I could create a gap of one and a half to two horse lengths over my opponent just by starting.

However, the state of being can be found as long as you run. The feeling of stepping on the track again is simply too great. Her heart began to beat violently for the first time in a long time. The idea of ​​leaving the opponent behind gradually emerged in Tetsuo Jungawa's mind. She wanted to ravage the opponent with her own strength.

But soon, Tetsuna Shunkawa forced himself to suppress the impulse in his heart.

No, she is Qianye's cousin, I can't bully her too much. It would be bad if her self-confidence is destroyed. Bai Xue will also participate in the competition in a few days. If my actions cause the siblings to lose the competition, I will be guilty of a great sin. The chairman will definitely have a dispute with her then.

So today I'm going to put some shackles on myself.

Junchuan Tezuna closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her steps suddenly became heavy, as if an invisible weight was tied to them.

Imagination training is an extremely difficult and talent-intensive training method that uses powerful imagination to make the horse girl's body show actual feedback. Tsuna Tsuna once used this method when there was no training equipment.

Feeling the pull coming from the soles of his feet, Tsuna stepped heavily on the ground, his soles sinking deep into the grass.

Fujiwara Shirayuki, who was running behind, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Surukawa Tezuna's speed was gradually slowing down.

It seems that the opponent Tsuna just now consumed a lot of energy.

No wonder, if she still has this kind of strength after such a long time of transformation, she should stop being the secretary of the chairman and be his horse girl.

Soon the race entered a bend, and Fujiwara Shirayuki was adjusting her body. At this moment, she suddenly felt a certain gaze, which seemed to be able to see through her body.

Startled, Shirayuki looked for the source of the gaze, and soon she discovered that the strongest feeling was on Tetsukawa Tezuna.

Chapter 205 Who Are You?

Fujiwara Chiya once heard in a lecture by senior trainers that strong horse girls do not need to use their eyes to see, they can use other organs of the body to feel the competition environment. For them, hearing and touch are more efficient than vision. After training for a long time, horse girls will even develop an intuition about the game, which is simply a sixth sense. They will perceive changes in the game.

At that time, Fujiwara Chiya looked incredulous. He felt that he was not listening to a lecture on horse racing girls, but a lecture on metaphysics. Intuition, sixth sense, how could the competition be related to these things?

And what are hearing and touch? Can you use sound to determine the position on the court?

In fact, it is really possible.

Shirayuki noticed that Tomokazu Tezuna's ears moved slightly, as if she was listening to something, and her body did feel as if she was being watched.

Gritting her teeth, Bai Xue mustered up her strength. She still had some energy left and was less than 400 meters away from the finish line, which was enough time for her to sprint with all her strength.

The moment Bai Xue took a step, as if predicting her movement, Shunkawa Tezuna began to accelerate without a second delay, and the distance between the two was fixed at two horse lengths.

Can't catch up?

Fujiwara Shirayuki's eyes widened. No matter how fast she accelerated, she could not get close to the other person. Her high-speed pace showed no sign of slowing down.

Are you kidding me? Even if you are a horse girl from the ancient horse year, you should have lost your strength long ago after entering the decline period. How can you still run so fast?

Shirayuki found it hard to comprehend, her knowledge as a trainer could not explain the situation before her.

Unless Tezuna Sugawa was an extremely powerful horse girl, it would be impossible for her to compete with her when her body was greatly weakened.

But if the opponent is so strong, how could I not know?

Maintaining a distance of two horse lengths, Surukawa Tetsuga was the first to cross the finish line, and half a second later Fujiwara Shirayuki ran over breathlessly.

Having exhausted all her strength, Bai Xue held her knees. Her legs were shaking and her lungs were burning.

On the other hand, although Tezuna Shunkawa was also breathing heavily, her complexion was much better than Shirayuki's.

With a happy expression on his face, Tsuna Toshinagawa wiped the sweat off his face.

"I already know the problem." Junchuan Tezuna said, "Take a rest first."

Ten minutes later, Shirayuki's condition had improved, and Jungawa Tezuna began to explain: "It's a center of gravity problem. When you turn, your center of gravity is too far to the outside. When you run, your right footsteps are larger than your left footsteps. This may be related to your previous turning habits. If you intentionally reduce the right footsteps during the turn, it may help you solve the problem."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Fujiwara Shirayuki was stunned for a moment.

The other party was clearly running in front and didn't even turn his head, so how could he clearly know the problem with her steps? Even Qian Ye didn't notice it.

"Sister Tetsuna, who exactly are you?"

Fujiwara Shirayuki didn't believe that the other party was an unknown horse racing girl.
