Half of a Umamusume

Chapter 209: Her Character is Too Weak

Following Cao Shangfei's instructions, Bai Xue drank the prepared tea and restricted her diet according to the nutritional chart. Her weight was dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye every day. She originally thought that she was just gaining some fat on her belly, but when she stood on the scale, it showed an exaggerated number that Bai Xue had never seen before.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise she would really become a fat colt!

Seeing that the number on the scale was approaching normal, Fujiwara Shirayuki breathed a sigh of relief. She took out a towel and wiped her face. The sweat left behind sparkled under the light.

Of course, drinking tea and managing diet are not enough. The best way is to exercise. She used to do running and squat jumps. In order to lose weight quickly, she did sit-ups for several days.

Now there are a few curves on her belly, and the originally pure softness has added a bit of healthy beauty. Bai Xue caresses her belly, feeling that it has been difficult these days.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shirayuki."

Narita Shirahito handed her a bottle of water.

"Thank you, Bai Ren-senpai."

She is not training alone, the vice president of the student union, Shirahito Narita, is also with her. Although he has moved from the [Shining Series] to the [Dream Cup] and only needs to ensure basic physical training every day, Shirahito Narita still comes to the gym every day to do bench press.

At this time, Narita Shirahito was wearing a refreshing training suit, revealing clear muscle contours on his belly, which were much deeper than Shirayuki's. Such a strong body is extremely rare even among horse girls.

Her power must have reached a very terrifying level, Bai Xue showed an envious look.

Looking at Shirayuki who was staring at her belly in a daze, Narita Shirahito smiled. She placed her hand on her head and touched it savagely but not gently. "If you exercise like this every day, you can become like me."

"Yes!"

Judging from Narita Shirahito's boxing power, it is conservatively estimated that she can kill four adults with one punch. Upper limb strength is also an important part of the competition. Vigorously swinging arms can help the body move forward faster. Moreover, if the competition is too intense and a collision occurs accidentally, the stronger party will have a greater advantage.

"Bai Ren, and Bai Xue, are you two still practicing?" Seeing that the lights were still on in the gymnasium so late, he came over to check the situation, and then saw two people steaming all over.

It is a good thing to train seriously, but you also have to pay attention to the time. The dormitory will be closed soon, and if you are late, the dormitory head will come to catch you.

"Yes, I'll leave right away. Good night, Vice President Qicao." Fujiwara Shirayuki lowered her head and hurriedly left the gymnasium. After the other party disappeared, Qicao's expression softened.

“That kid really works hard.”

Qicao liked this very much. Originally, she planned to make Shirayuki a horse girl with the temperament of an 'empress'. Qicao saw her obsession with victory, but later she found that what prevented Shirayuki from becoming an 'empress' was not her actions but her character. Shirayuki lacked something fatal.

majesty.

Yes, Bai Xue is too weak and lacks the domineering side. Although Bai Xue is superior in responsibility and ability, and is a good seedling with both physical strength and intelligence, she cannot support all of this without dignity, and her words will have no weight no matter how correct they are.

This is what the gas tank is worried about.

"Is there any way to make that child more dignified?"

"Huh? What happened to Shirayuki?"

"I feel that the child is too weak. She feels like she will fall down if pushed. How can I describe it? She is like the girl in Uma Musume. If she continues to be like this, she will never be able to become the 'Empress'."

"She's fine the way she is, I don't think there's any need for her to change."

Qi Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at Narita Bairen beside him.

I really don't understand it. Snow White can become a powerful horse girl and at the same time serve as a guide. She can educate more horse girls and train others to be the same as her.

But due to her personality, Bai Xue looks like a soft and cute girl, as if anyone can go over and touch her. Even Qi Cao wanted to go over and get close to Bai Xue.

As a guide, this aura is too deadly. When she communicates with others, she does not stand on the standpoint of superiors and subordinates at all. In this way, the two people may end up communicating somewhere else.

After the competition, Qi Chou was going to put her next to him and give her a transformation.

"By the way, Bai Ren, did you use air freshener during training?"

"No."

"Really..." Qi Cao glanced at the unknown liquid with a fragrant smell on the ground and shook his head, "Anyway, you should go back soon. The dormitory will be closed soon."

"Let's go now."

Narita Shirahito saw the snow falling nearby and the half bottle of water that he forgot to take back. After hesitating for a moment, Narita Shirahito quietly took it away.

It would be a bit of a waste to leave it here, and she was actually a little thirsty.

Time came to the day of the [Aster Trophy]. It was Bai Xue's first big prize race, a 2,000-meter middle-distance grass race. In addition to her own team, all her friends came as well.

Xiaote, Xiaocao, Xiaoying, Diwang and even Qingyun Tiankong came from far away to watch her game.

"How's it going, Yuki-chan? Are you nervous?"

"It's okay. Just think of these people as carrots and vegetables."

"I have always believed in Bai Xue's ability."

"Bai Xue, you are my emperor's personally recognized opponent, you must not lose!"

How should I put it? It's a bit like what a boxer's coach would say when he steps into the ring. How come you're more nervous than I am? Seeing Zhou's flustered look, someone who didn't know her would think she was going to a competition.

"I got it. Don't worry. I'm not nervous." Fujiwara Shirayuki comforted her. How come she was the one comforting these people? If I win, do I have to invite them to the celebration party?

Suddenly, Bai Xue felt a sharp pain in her heart. Of course, Qian Ye, who was standing next to her, felt even more pain. Others were getting richer the more they ran, but why was he getting poorer? If he won, he would have to spend one-third of his savings on the banquet.

Not wanting to think about these sad things anymore, Qianye cleared his throat and said, "Okay, Bai Xue, go in quickly. Xiao Te and the others, follow me to the audience seats."

Qian Ye had already investigated this competition in advance. There were a total of fourteen contestants, two of whom were escaping, four were ahead, five were in the middle, and three were chasing. The distribution was relatively even, and there was no obvious position with less competitive pressure, but there was a lot of room for maneuver on the field.

There are a lot of uphill and downhill roads in Zhongshan Racecourse, with an average of one uphill and downhill every 300 to 400 meters, so the sense of rhythm of this race is very important.

Rhythm happens to be Bai Xue's strong point, and this time he plans to run the entire race with the advantage of dual perspectives.

Chapter 210 Everything is under control

"Shion Championship, two thousand meters clockwise on the grass field, all horse girls enter the gate, the race begins!"

"A very nice start! Ah... one of the runners fell down, is that okay?"

The big reward race is different from other races. The atmosphere in the arena is very serious. Bai Xue's heart was beating non-stop. Not only her, but other people's expressions were also quite nervous, especially the one next to her. After the gate was opened, she fell to the ground. She should have no chance of winning this race.

Tension can stimulate the secretion of adrenaline in the horse girls, allowing them to perform better, but being too nervous will cause them to perform poorly. Shirayuki has Qianye's eyes watching her, so she can imagine herself as a character in the game, which can appropriately reduce the sense of immersion and tension.

"The 2,000-meter race is not short for the novice-level horse girls. They need to allocate their energy reasonably, especially on a complex and changeable track like the Nakayama Racecourse. The one leading is Phillip Snow. As a runaway horse, she was one horse length ahead of the other horse girls at the beginning of the race! She continued to run closely behind her and started a battle for the lead with Phillip Snow. Mr. Sakai, which player are you most concerned about?"

"let me see……"

The host was explaining the race, and Qianye had an overview of the overall situation. As expected of a runaway horse, he showed amazing propulsion ability at the beginning of the race and stood out from the front row of players. However, there was also one who was trapped in the middle of the herd and was forced to take the lead.

Looking at the opponent's nervous look, you can tell that this is not her strategy, which means that the horse girl's rhythm has been messed up and it is difficult for her to have a good performance in the race. Bai Xue ran in the middle position and grabbed a better inside lane, so she doesn't have to worry about physical exhaustion when turning.

However, other situations have arisen now. Qianye looked at the two horse racing girls in the front. As they scrambled for the leading position, the two escaped horses started a fierce fight. Their speed was getting faster and faster, exceeding the normal range. The third horse racing girl behind was not to be outdone and kept her distance and moved forward.

The pace of the race was a little unusual, fast... No, too fast! This was not the speed of a 2,000-meter race, but a mile race.

"Bai Xue, come on!" The Emperor of the East China Sea shouted excitedly in the crowd, especially Zhou and the others who were also shouting at the top of their lungs.

As expected, these people couldn't see that the rhythm of the game had been disrupted.

Qianye pinched his chin.

How to do?

If the actions of all the horse girls in the front row change, Shirayuki in the middle row must also change accordingly, but the most taboo thing in this game is to change the rhythm. Qianye's brain thinks quickly. Other people's horse girls are playing a game of luck, while his is a real-time strategy. Finally, Fujiwara Chiye makes the decision.

Give way to the inner road.

That's right, this is a heroic measure. Neidao has no right to choose the rhythm. When she maintains the original rhythm, she will be caught up by the horse girl behind her, and then she will be stuck inside.

So she has to go to the outer path where she has more choices in advance, and then reduce the impact of being led astray.

Bai Xue's eyes quickly observed the way out among the crowd, and soon she saw a winding route, and then she began to change her steps.

"Ah? Why did Bai Xue run outside?" The Emperor of the East China Sea asked in confusion.

How could they, as horse girls, understand this? This is a race situation that only trainers can understand. Now Fujiwara Chiya is like playing a game of chess, and Shirayuki is the chess piece on the board. Now the physical strength of that chess piece has been determined. What Fujiwara Chiya has to do is to choose the route with the least consumption to ensure that the opponent has the most physical strength left at the end of the game.

In the student union room, Rudolph, Qi Cao and Narita Shirahito were sitting in front of the TV, watching Shirayuki on the screen. Even though they had work to do and couldn't go to the Central Racecourse, they still had to watch Shirayuki's race. That girl was a member of their student union, and the three of them wanted to know if the other could successfully win the first big prize race.

Seeing Shirayuki's action, Rudolph made a sound of "Ugh".

"What's wrong, President?" Qicao turned his head.

"No, it's just... Bai Xue seems to know exactly what she should do."

"Ok?"

"Nothing." Rudolph smiled, her eyes fixed on the white figure on the field.

There aren't many horse girls who know how to make choices at this age.

"The race is about to enter the third bend! The horse girls are climbing the slope of the opposite track! The first half of the thousand meters took nearly a minute, which is above average! The one who is ahead at this time is to keep running!"

Among the leading horse girls, Snow of Phillip was defeated and the lead was taken away by her continued running, but due to the competition just now, both horse girls had consumed a lot of physical strength.

It seems that they still can't keep their cool. It's not just two people who are causing the collapse, but a group of people.

Fujiwara Chiya was observing the game. At this time, Shirayuki had already come to the back of the team, about seven to eight horse lengths away from the leading horse girl.

"Xue-chan..." Cao Shangfei made a worried sound, and Te Zhou clenched her fists even more. After all, in their eyes, Bai Xue suddenly made an inexplicable decision and ran outside, and then ran out of energy and couldn't catch up with the horse girls in the front row.

You guys, are you looking down on me too much? Fujiwara Chiya secretly complained. Bai Xue, who was not affected by the rhythm, now had sufficient physical strength. It was better to say that she felt that her momentum was no different from when she started running.

He knew which was more important: the impact of running a few dozen more meters on a curve or disrupting the normal rhythm of the race.

Soon the race came to the final straight line. All the horse girls began to accelerate. A total of five horse girls ran in the front row, completely blocking the road ahead. Seeing this, the Emperor of the East China Sea let out a desperate voice.

It's over, it's over, what should I do now? Once Uma Musume is stuck in a position, it will be difficult to find a way out.

At this time, even the Emperor of the East China Sea, who kept calling himself a genius, couldn't think of a good solution.

Just when everyone was worried about Bai Xue, they suddenly saw Bai Xue make an amazing move. She made a big diagonal move and turned directly into the empty outside lane.

"what?"

"what!?"

Everyone made sounds of shock.

It's a little too early for you to understand this tactic.

Fujiwara Chiya no longer cared about them.

Bai Xue ran to the outer lane and bent down, releasing the remaining strength. The host shouted loudly: "It's the Snow Dancer! The Snow Dancer at position 4 is catching up from the outermost lane——!"

The effect of the summer training camp took effect, and Bai Xue felt that her feet were full of resilience.

Finally, fifty meters before the finish line, she surpassed her opponent, and with a shout of "Cross the finish line!", Bai Xue crossed the finish line.

Chapter 211 I Will Train Her

This was Bai Xue's first victory in a big-bounty race. Bathed in the audience's applause, Bai Xue felt elated and dreamlike.

After the game, Qianye held a grand celebration banquet and invited everyone to the barbecue restaurant.

"Thank you so much, Trainer Qianye, for inviting us here as well." Cao Shangfei lowered his head and thanked Fujiwara Qianye.

"It's okay, it's okay. You are all Bai Xue's friends, and the child is taken care of by you on weekdays." Fujiwara Chiye smiled. From the perspective of a trainer, Cao Shangfei is really a polite and good child. "Xiao Te, do you want anything else?"

“Trainer Qianye…um, I also want some carrots.” Te Bie Zhou’s voice sounded a little shy. After all, she was a little embarrassed to eat too much at her cousin Bai Xue’s place.

"Trainer, Qing-chan wants a drink." Qingyun Tiankong walked to the side and said bluntly.

"One thousand yen a bottle."

"It's so expensive, can you pay it with your body?"

"Hmm? It's not that I don't..."

"What are you thinking about, trainer? Qingchan will only let you lie down and have a good sleep. Do you want to do something wrong to Qingchan?" With a mocking expression on his face, Qingyun Tiankong waved his hand and laughed.

You are so good, Qingyun Tiankong, how dare you deceive my feelings!

Fujiwara Chiya picked up the plate and tapped her on the head: "Bring these up, I'll ask the waiter to bring them to you later."

"Trainer Qianye is so generous. Both the brother and the sister are equally awesome."

"what are you saying?"

"Nothing, Qingchan never refuses anyone who comes to you, so I'll leave it to you, trainer."

With that, Qingyun Tiankong left with his tail wagging. Fujiwara Chiya looked at the two tables of horse racing girls, it was really lively. It could be considered as a reward for Kiryuin and Fumino's usual care. Just consider it as helping them raise horse girls.
