Half of a Umamusume

“The state of mind is also called ‘flow’, which is a state of complete concentration, in which one devotes all of his spirit and all of his emotions to achieve a state of whole-body unity.”

"Not only Uma Musume, but humans can also enter the realm, and the most intuitive manifestation is 'no self'."

It means that you are completely working for the event itself, even yourself seems far away, every action and every thought happens like flowing water, and after concentrating all your attention, all your abilities will be developed to the extreme.

Of course, Shihantai's words were not directed to Fujiwara Chiya, but to the horse girl next to him, Fujiwara Shirayuki.

“When skills are high but challenges are low, people will get bored. When skills are low but challenges are high, people will get anxious. Only when people enter a field of high skills and high challenges at the same time can they enter a state of flow.”

In other words, this is not something that can be done at will; it requires prerequisites, self-control, and a very special environment.

The most important thing about controlling yourself is to feel yourself.

Yae Wudi brought out a set of protective gear from the prop room at the back of the room. When she heard the sound of the protective gear hitting the ground, she knew that these things were not light. She came to Bai Xue and handed her the set of protective gear, as well as a pair of heavy horseshoes.

"From today on, you will be wearing these things when you move around."

"all?"

"All."

Fujiwara Shirayuki looked at the chest guard, wrist guards, and shin guards that covered half of her body, and her eyes twitched. Even for a horse girl, it would be difficult to walk wearing these things.

Not to mention the thickened horseshoe. Fujiwara Chiya had used similar weight-bearing training methods before, but he did not add weight to the body. Now it directly covers the whole body.

"How long will I wear it?"

"From now until you leave."

"Wearing it all the time?"

“You can take it off when you sleep.”

"You must be kidding..." Even as a trainer, Bai Xue couldn't help but be moved. What's the difference between asking her to run in these things and carrying a person on her back? It would be strange if she could run.

As if he could see what she was thinking, Shifantai shook his head.

“It’s not about making you run faster, but about helping you feel more deeply how power is transferred when running.”

After hearing what the other party said, Bai Xue put on those things. Suddenly, her body was pulled to the ground by the strong gravity. Her legs seemed to be stuck in the mud. Every step she took required a lot of strength.

A few hours would be fine, but if it were a month, Bai Xue would feel a chill just thinking about it. This is not just a test of the body, but also a test of will.

"Then I will be your opponent from now on." Yae Wudi stood in front of her.

"Hey, I'm still wearing this thing."

"That's right, so you have to speed up and think about how to use your muscles to complete a certain action faster. Sorry for offending me so much!" After saying that, Yaezun Invincible swung his fist at her. Bai Xue clenched her teeth suddenly, and the opponent's movements slowed down in an instant, as if playing slowly like a slide show, but it only lasted for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

The teacher next to her looked at Bai Xue's actions and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"That child seems to have touched the threshold."

Fujiwara Chiye covered his arm. He accidentally pulled his tendons when he moved quickly just now. Shirayuki felt pain there, and he also felt pain there.

Yae is really merciless, and I'm just a newbie who knows nothing!

"Then it's your turn, Trainer Qianye."

"I?"

"That's right. Since they have already started training, we can't just sit there and do nothing." Shihantai picked up the bamboo sword. "A trainer must remain calm and composed. The more tense the situation is, the calmer you must be. This way you can think calmly and give the most reasonable advice to the horse girls when they are nervous, and comfort them."

"I have lived in the dojo for more than 30 years and I know this matter best. If you want to keep your mind clear, the first thing you need to learn is meditation."

"Zazen?"

Why is he always meditating? Huang Jinchuan meditated before, Xie Rong Sanyue meditated, and now it is his turn to meditate. Is this thing so useful?

"I will educate you in the ways of the gym, so you must be patient, Trainer Qianye."

You must be kidding. Bai Xue is getting beaten over there, but he has to be calm here. What kind of hell is this?

But Shi Fantai did not give him a chance to refute. He made him sit cross-legged and hit his shoulder with a bamboo sword if he moved the slightest.

On one side he was as passionate as fire, and on the other side he was as calm as water. The alternation of movement and stillness almost drove Fujiwara Chiye crazy. Fortunately, his body was strong enough and he could still endure being hit several times by Shibantai. But Bai Xue was not so lucky. She was kicked to the ground by Yae Wudi and could not get up again.

Her mouth was filled with the taste of blood, which was more uncomfortable than running 2,000 meters. The protective gear on her body protected her from injury, but it was Yae Wudi who kept hitting Bai Xue's protective gear, and her hands turned red with congestion, but she didn't care about her condition, but handed the prepared sugar water to Bai Xue and asked her to sit down and recover her strength.

The training lasted until noon, and when Shihanta said, "That's it," Fujiwara Chiya lay on the ground feeling as if he had been reborn.

This is too tiring! It is not something that ordinary people can endure. Of course, the main reason why Fujiwara Chiya feels this way is that she is bearing two pressures alone. She has to do the horse girl side and the trainer side.

The two hardships that fell on the same person at the same time put tremendous pressure on Fujiwara Chiya.

"Brother? Are you here?" A soft voice came into the gym, and a small black figure walked in.

She saw Shirayuki leaning against the wall wearing strange clothes, hugging her legs and seeming to be dozing off. Not far from Shirayuki, Fujiwara Chiya was lying on a mat.

"Brother!" Mi Yu ran over and knelt beside Fujiwara Chiye. Looking at the man's listless face, Mi Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"Mi Yu? Have you finished your training?"

"Well, we are waiting for Brother-sama to eat."

"No need to wait for me, you guys eat first." Fujiwara Chiye didn't want to move at all now.

"But the meal has been served...Mi Yu, help Brother-sama to get it! Mi Yu will accompany Brother-sama!"

"Then I'll leave it to you." Fujiwara Chiya turned over.

"Yeah!" Mi Yu nodded and turned to look at Fujiwara Shirayuki next to him.

"Where's Shirayuki-san? Please bring the rice bath over for Shirayuki-san as well."

However, Bai Xue just shook her body twice, and was pulled to the ground limply by the protective gear. She had fallen asleep.

Chapter 288 I Long for a Worthy Rival

"Shirayuki, what are you wearing?"

"Training clothes."

"Iron?"

"It should be copper."

"Why do you want to wear this?" asked the Golden Ship beside him.

"Because this is weight training, don't be lazy here! Everyone leave!"

"I'm waiting for you."

Because Bai Xue was wearing heavy training clothes, she was much slower than the others in warming up.

"No need, just keep up with the others."

"Don't act like a trainer. We should be lazy when we need to be lazy. We need to train and rest as well. This is the only way to be healthy."

"Huang Jin Chuan, stop talking nonsense. After everyone finishes running, you can run two more laps!" Fujiwara Chiye's voice came from a distance, and his voice was quite loud, as if the energy was sinking into his dantian.

"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything..." The Golden Ship muttered as it caught up with the main force.

After driving away the golden ship, Bai Xue took a deep breath and sped up step by step.

Speaking of which, this protective gear...is too small!

Bai Xue silently felt the friction of this thing, and the two lumps on her chest were pressed against it.

Her milk supply is slightly greater than the protective gear specifies.

Bai Xue didn't pay much attention to it before, but she realized that her body has grown a lot in the past few months. Her breasts, which usually fit perfectly in one hand, have now grown a whole circle larger.

She won't keep getting bigger, will she? Although Snow White likes big things, she doesn't want to be big herself. Some things are better on others than on herself.

Unless you want to use this body to entertain yourself.

It seems that during the training period she has to wrap her breasts with a breast wrap like a warrior girl, otherwise her breasts will be worn out.

It was unexpected that the plot that I had loved to see on TV would actually happen to me. It was a pity that Bai Xue did not intend to give benefits to others, and even if she did, she would keep them for herself.

Hmm? Wait, can I take my own pornographic pictures?

The snow seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Halfway through the training, Bai Xue stopped. The place where she wore protective gear was burning with pain. These things pressed on her clothes and rubbed her skin. No matter how strong the horse girl's body was, she couldn't withstand such grinding.

She needed something to cushion her posture, such as a towel or a bath towel. Fujiwara Chiya returned to the room to look for it, and at the same time Mejiro Dobo came over.

Naturally, she also noticed the things that Snow White was wearing.

Mejiro Dobo feels that Shirayuki now is just like his past self, training hard to achieve something. However, the purpose of Shirayuki's training is not to surpass herself, her goal is even farther away.

To be honest, these exercises don't really improve speed that much, as the nutrients you take in are distributed throughout the body, slowing down the growth of the legs.

But Mejiro Dober knew that what Shirayuki was doing now was not to prepare for the next game. She was making plans for the longer-term future, such as European competitions and the unattainable Arc de Triomphe. She was laying the foundation for her body to cope with those difficult competitions.

Seeing Shirayuki like this, Mebai Dober felt a little bit of urgency in her heart, but more of pride, because she liked Shirayuki and liked watching her become stronger bit by bit with her efforts.

She watched Bai Xue take off her protective gear, revealing the scratched and red skin underneath.

"Is it okay?"

"It's okay, just a little lick will do."

Mejiro Dober held her hand, then stuck out his tongue and licked it.

"Sister Dabo!?"

"Don't you just say lick it?"

"I did say that, but that's not what I meant..."

"What's the difference?" Mebai Dober's pink little tongue slid across her arm, and Bai Xue's heart felt itchy.

"By the way, does Shirayuki feel lonely sleeping alone?" asked Mejiro Dobo after licking Shirayuki's red arm.

"Fortunately."

"When I went to bed yesterday, I couldn't help but wonder how I lived in the past. How did I spend day after day alone in the dormitory before Bai Xue came over?"

It was so lonely that it was terribly lonely. Several times, Mejiro Dobo wanted to run to Shirayuki's room with a pillow in his arms, but he finally held back.

This is a critical moment in Shirayuki's growth, and Mejiro Dobo can feel it.

At the most critical moment for her, Shirayuki kept a distance from her and gave her enough space, so at the most critical moment for Shirayuki, Mejiro Dobo would be patient and not disturb her.

Holding Shirayuki's hand, Mejiro Dober smiled and said, "If you feel lonely, you can always come to my place."

"Ah."

"Sorry for the long wait." Fujiwara Chiya ran over with a towel.

"Trainer, is that for Snow White?"

"Correct."

"Let me help you."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." After taking the towel, Mejiro Tabaru helped Fujiwara Chiya tidy up her messy clothes. His movements were so natural that Mejiro Tabaru himself didn't even notice his behavior.

After wrapping himself in a towel and putting on protective gear, the annoying feeling disappeared. Of course, this was only a temporary substitute. Tomorrow, Fujiwara Chiye was going to go to the town at the foot of the mountain to buy some cashmere cotton and transform these things.

And just like that, they ended their training for the day.

It was evening and the light in Bai Xue's room flickered again. With her previous experience, she knew who was calling her. Putting on protective gear, Bai Xue left the room and went to the training ground.

Today that person was not running, but waiting for himself.

Bai Xue came in front of the black-haired girl, her golden pupils shining. When she saw the heavy chest guard Bai Xue was wearing, the girl laughed. The curled corners of her mouth made Bai Xue shudder. It seemed that the other party knew what kind of arc could arouse the fear in her heart.

She looked like Chazuo, but there was an indescribable weirdness about her. Even if she said that she had killed someone before, Bai Xue would definitely believe it without hesitation.

"Has the teahouse senior come over?" Bai Xue asked.

"Only me." A cold voice came into my ears.

"Why do you have to help me again and again? Did Senior Tea House ask you to do that?"

"Help you?" She laughed when she heard this. "I'm just looking for a worthy opponent, and you happen to be one of them."

"Opponent..." Bai Xue wondered if she had heard it wrong. This kind of existence actually regarded her as an opponent. Maybe Rudolf in his heyday could even fight with her.

"You're surprised, right? You think you're incapable, huh... stupid."

The other party's words were merciless, but Bai Xue understood what she wanted to express.
