Half of a Umamusume

"What's wrong Tetsuna?"

"The chairman wants to see you about something related to the competition. She wants you to go to her office."

After letting Kane Fukurai play alone in the office, Fujiwara Chiya came to the chairman's office and waved a fan at him.

"First of all, I would like to express my congratulations to your team, Qianye. The achievements you have made during this period are impressive."

"Then here's what I'm going to say." Akikawa Yayoi said seriously, "In the next L'Arc Qualifying Tournament, if your team wins this game, then this year it will be your turn to challenge the [Arc de Triomphe]."

Fujiwara Chiye certainly understood this matter, and he felt a lot of pressure. After all, he had only been a trainer for two short years, and now he had to take on an unprecedented responsibility.

"The Central Government has challenged the Arc de Triomphe three times in total, but all of them ended in failure without exception. The first one, the symbol of speed, Arima Kinen, who won the consecutive championships in the horse racing competition, did not make the finals. The second one, Mejiro Musashi, who also won the Emperor's Prize, came in 18th. The last horse racing girl who challenged the Arc de Triomphe, Sirius Symbol, was also our Derby Horse Girl, and she came in 14th."

So you can imagine how difficult the Arc de Triomphe is. It is difficult, very difficult, extremely difficult, more difficult than all the competitions in Japan.

It's not just because the horse girls who participate are of very high level, but also because the track there is very poor. Years of running have made the ground bumpy and the horse girls will slip if they are not careful. In that kind of competition, just a tiny mistake will completely lose the chance of winning, unless the player is extremely talented.

Of course, this time Akikawa Yayoi called him over not to explain the difficulty of the Arc de Triomphe, but to tell him something.

"The Arc de Triomphe will be held on October 1st, and the final crown of the Triple Crown will also be held on this date. Qianye, do you understand what I mean?"

Fujiwara Chiya lowered her head.

Yes, as long as you participate in the [Arc de Triomphe], it means that you must give up the last crown of the Triple Crown. Akikawa Yayoi deliberately chose this time to say this, of course, because the Triple Crown is about to begin, whether it is the Classic Triple Crown or the Final Triple Crown.

If you don't participate in the Arc de Triomphe, you can still bet on the Triple Crown, but if you participate, it means that in the end there is a high probability that you will lose everything.

This is a gamble with a very low chance of winning. If he succeeds, Fujiwara Chiya will become the first trainer in Japanese history to obtain the [Arc de Triomphe Award] and his name will go down in history. If he fails, he may fall to the bottom again.

In addition, there is another important thing: who will participate in the competition?

Which horse racing girl would choose to give up her last championship and instead devote herself to overseas competitions?

"Have you thought about all this, Qianye?" Akikawa Yayoi looked at the man who lowered his head and remained silent. Some things cannot be avoided. Since he is a trainer, he must face them.

"I've made up my mind." After thinking for a long time, Fujiwara Chiya replied, "I want Shirayuki to participate. She wants to give up her last championship and participate in the [Arc de Triomphe]."

"Is this what Shirayuki was thinking?"

"Yes."

"This is a huge gamble, Qianye. You actually want to use your sister to try it."

"She's not my sister... and I've already hit rock bottom, so hitting it again isn't a big deal."

At the very beginning, Fujiwara Chiya decided to participate in the [Arc de Triomphe Award], and he is now working hard for this goal. If he only wanted to become a senior trainer at the beginning, now Fujiwara Chiya also wants to see what the so-called world's highest point competition is like. He is extremely curious about such a competition venue.

No matter what, that group of people can't be more powerful than her.

Fujiwara Chiya remembered the black figure that was advancing forward last night.

"Okay, it's settled. In the next trials, if your team wins, Shirayuki Fujiwara will be selected as a contestant for the Arc de Triomphe Award, and Mei will take you to Europe."

"Yes."

"If you need anything, feel free to tell me. You are now a key trainer trained by the central government, Qianye."

"In that case, I have something to ask of you, Chairman."

"what?"

Fujiwara Chiya thought for a while and said, "I hope to find a quiet training place, preferably one where I can be alone and quiet."

Chapter 282 Meditation Training Ground

"That's what it is, we're going to the new training ground."

Fujiwara Chiya announced to everyone.

"Trainer, you can walk around freely in Tresen. You can come to such a large venue whenever you want!" Golden Ship whistled, "You are worthy of being the person chosen by the chairman."

"Ha, after all, I am a famous trainer."

"That's not what I meant by looking at you. As long as you make a phone call, the chairman will go to your room and sleep with you."

"Eh?" Everyone looked at Fujiwara Chiya.

"Golden Ship, stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, give her a call and say, 'Yayoi-sister, I miss you. Can you come to my room tonight?' See if she can get over it."

This little bastard just opens his mouth!

Fujiwara Chiya was not going to argue with her today. After shutting up the Golden Ship, he said, "We will train there before the [Gatsuki Appreciation] and [Sakura Appreciation], and we will sleep there at night. You can treat this training as a training camp."

"Trainer, why do you suddenly want to go over there for training?" the famous general Nu Tao asked weakly.

"Because... that place is suitable for spiritual cultivation."

"Haha, cultivation of the mind! Is the trainer preparing for enlightenment?"

"Golden Ship, you'll die if you shut up!"

"No, trainer. My mouth is my body. I am not the Golden Ship without my mouth."

"Yeah, without your mouth you'd be a static beauty, you and the golden ship are two completely different creatures, what a pity... what a pity."

"Although I just mentioned it casually, the trainer's attitude is really infuriating..."

"Anyway, take your things first, and then we'll go to the training ground. Daily necessities are over there, you just need to bring other necessities. Also, that's on the top of the mountain, and our dormitory is usually a hotel open on holidays, so don't bring things like water guns."

Fujiwara Chiya looked at the golden ship.

"what?"

"Nothing, everyone, go back quickly."

While packing up, Mejiro Dober opened up a conversation with Shirayuki: "This is the first time I've heard that Tresen has a training ground built on the mountain."

"Me too……"

Qianye just asked tentatively. After all, not many people knew that Treson had such a large piece of land outside, and who knows, there might be more. But he never expected that the chairman would just wave his hand and give him a place he had never heard of, allowing him to use it as he pleased.

How much land is there in Treson? Bai Xue couldn't imagine it. She thought this academy was everything, but it turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg.

"I heard from the chairman that some trainers will go there to train with special methods. There were other trainers who went there before us."

“What do you mean by special methods?”

"I'm not sure. The chairman didn't elaborate, but I know there's a big arena over there."

"Ha..." Mebai Dober nodded and packed all his clothes into the box.

"Speaking of which, after we go there, will we still be in the same dormitory as now?"

"There are not many people there, so each person sleeps in one dormitory."

"I want to sleep with Shirayuki."

"This……"

I chose to go there because I wanted to be fresh and unconventional, but you forced me to become worldly.

Seeing the hesitant Bai Xue, Mejiro Dober smiled. She hugged her in her arms and touched her head.

"I'm kidding. It would be too conspicuous if two of us lived together, and it would be hard to explain to the trainer, so we should just live separately."

Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to listen to what the tea host said, to re-examine herself, and to follow what the black ghost said, to become a hunter and be ruthless to her opponents. The arena was like a battlefield, and the place closest to a battlefield was the gym.

After everything was ready, everyone gathered together and Fujiwara Chiya looked at them.

The luggage was much more than he had imagined, and the official car could not fit it all, so he needed a bigger car.

"Just give the chairman a call. She will definitely lend it to you as long as you mention it." Huang Jinchuan said leisurely.

"That's a car you can only drive during special events."

"How will you know if you don't try."

Fujiwara Chiya made a phone call and put it down after a while.

"What did the chairman say?"

"She said... use it as you like."

"I knew it." Golden Ship showed an expected expression.

This is too weird. Could it be that Chairman Akikawa is my relative? This is no longer just ordinary care. It feels like I have gained the right to use the entire Teresen.

Maybe I am the top player in the [Arc de Triomphe Award]. After all, the Arc de Triomphe is one of the most important events for Tresen and even the entire central government.

"We're getting in the car, Trainer."

"Well, I'll find a driver first."

"You can't drive?"

“My driver’s license doesn’t allow me to drive a bus.”

After calling the job-changing driver, everyone headed to the training ground on the top of the mountain, which was an hour's drive from Tresen. The training ground was a little smaller than Tresen, with one lap being about 1,600 meters. Also, due to the terrain, some parts were as high as four meters, so the horse girls would feel a strong sense of weight when running up there, but it was a good place to practice climbing.

After getting off the car, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the authentic Japanese-style hotel in front of them.

"What? This place is so grand! Why didn't you show it to the public earlier?" Huang Jinchuan said carelessly.

"Brother, can we really live here?" Mi Yu held Fujiwara Chiye's hand.

"Welcome to the distinguished guests of Tresen Academy." An old man in a kimono came up and bowed to Fujiwara Chiya. "We have been entrusted by Chairman Akikawa to take care of you during this period. I am Xiangri, the person in charge of the [Galloping Field]. I will be responsible for your management and guidance. Please take care of me."

““Please take care!””

"Then please follow me and I will show you to the room."

"Ms. Xiangri." Fujiwara Chiya handed her luggage to Shirayuki, "I want to visit a nearby dojo. How do I get there?"

"Mr. Fujiwara Chiya, please come this way." A girl in kimono came out and greeted Fujiwara Chiya.

If he wanted to familiarize himself with the environment, having Fujiwara Shirayuki around was enough. He wanted to take a look at the training ground in advance, so he followed the kimono girl and came to a large arena. It was very quiet and there were not many people inside.

After knocking on the door, Fujiwara Chiye pushed it open and walked in. He then saw an old man with gray hair and a beard kneeling in the middle of the venue. He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and a bamboo sword was placed in front of him.

On his chest was the badge of a senior trainer.

Seeing Fujiwara Chiya coming in, the old man said, "Young man, would you like a bowl of hot tea?"

Chapter 283 He's Like a Horse Racing Girl

Fujiwara Chiya was drinking hot tea, and the old man took out the teapot he carried with him and poured himself a cup.

Black tea?

Fujiwara Chiya secretly looked at the other person until bubbles appeared in his cup.

Shit! It's Coca-Cola!

I have underestimated him. This old man is even more secretive than I imagined. After drinking a few sips of the bitter and astringent green tea, Fujiwara Chiya asked the other party's name.

His name is Shihandai, he is in his fifties, and he has been at this training ground for nearly two months. He also trains horse girls. As for the horse girls he trained, they had already returned to the dojo while the two were chatting.

She was a brown-haired girl with a pinwheel hair accessory on her right ear and a white highlight in the middle of her forehead. Her brown eyes radiated light, and one could clearly feel that she exuded a special temperament.

"Wait a moment." The teacher said to the girl, who glanced at Fujiwara Chiye and then knelt beside him.

"You must have a purpose for coming here, right? Trainer Qianye."

“I want to rethink myself.”

“Huh? This is the first time I hear a trainer say something like that.” The old man took a sip of Coke. A rustling sound came from the room and the brown-haired horse girl’s cheeks twitched a few times.

"There are very few trainers here. Even those who have been teaching for a while don't know that there is a dojo in Treson. They don't associate the competition with this place."

“But there is a connection, right?”

“Yes.” The teacher nodded. “Although the gym can’t quickly improve the horse girls’ strength, it can cultivate their spiritual realm and their control over themselves.”

"Control?"

"That's right. We are not familiar with our own bodies. We don't know how our strength is generated and how it changes. If I want to throw a punch forward, how can I control my fist to stay on the surface of an object accurately and not hurt the opponent? If I want to hit someone with a solid punch, how can I concentrate the power of my fist to a single point and maximize it?"
