Half of a Umamusume

Fujiwara Chiya didn't understand what he heard.

"In short, the challenges we face seem to be even greater."

"That's it..."

Kiryuin Aoi looked towards the arena, "By the way, Qianye, it seems that Miyu is your favorite horse girl?"

“I am currently focusing on training.”

"Did you let her call you 'Brother-sama'?"

"No, she wanted to call it that."

Kiryuin Aoi snorted.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just wondered if you have a habit of being called 'brother'."

"I didn't!"

Fujiwara Chiya flatly denied it.

"Really?" Kiryuin Aoi leaned on the railing, looking at the other person vaguely, "Will you hate it if I call you brother?"

"No...you are as old as me, right?"

"I'm one year younger than you."

"You'd better not. If anyone hears me, I'll be killed."

Being called brother by female colleagues makes me feel ashamed to work in the workplace just thinking about it.

"Just kidding." Seeing Fujiwara Chiya's embarrassment, Kiryuin Aoi smiled, "Sure enough, the relationship between the horse girl and the trainer is incomparable to other trainers."

"It depends on the situation."

Kiryuin Aoi's ears twitched slightly, and looking at Fujiwara Chiya who had no intention of answering her, she turned towards the arena.

"It depends on the situation..."

On the other side, four horse girls entered the gate one after another.

Mi Yu whispered to himself.

This game is crucial to her. It is a game to prove her strength and determination.

She absolutely cannot lose.

Just as Mi Yu was looking at the track seriously, the horse racing girl next to her glanced at her. After some ideological struggle, the horse racing girl's eyes finally became firm.

The playing field is a battlefield, it's either you die or I die.

There is only one winner, and the loser's corpses are scattered all over the ground.

There is no mercy here.

The lights flickered, and with a 'clang', the gate opened and four horse girls rushed out at the same time. Te Bie Zhou came in first, followed closely by Mi Yu, who found a good position. The two horse girls from the central department came in third and fourth place respectively.

"No, it's too fast..."

Kiryuin Aoi frowned.

Before the race, she specifically told Xiao Te not to exert too much effort at the start, otherwise he would not have enough physical strength to keep up. Obviously, the other party had forgotten her words.

There is still too little competition experience.

Compared to her, the last two horse girls were much calmer.

They were not affected by the pace of others at all.

Fujiwara Chiya observed the arena.

The education within the central government is much more realistic and cruel than that in Treson College, but the real competition field is just as cruel. The competition is not only about physical strength, but also about wisdom, strategy and mentality.

Soon the race reached the middle stage. When passing the second bend, the two horse girls in the back row suddenly moved.

They made incredible moves.

They were seen running to the rice bath and pressing towards each other.

"What!?"

Aoi Kiryuin was stunned by the other party's actions. She saw Mi Yu was hit hard by one of the horse girls and almost lost her balance.

"Dirty moves!"

"No, it's not a dirty move." Fujiwara Chiya clearly knew what the other party was thinking. He held the railing tightly and said, "That was normal approach and contact..."

There was a similar case a few years ago, at the [Japan Cup], where the opponent used their physical advantage to push the other horse girls back, and this action was also judged to be a normal fight for position.

Taking advantage of physical strength to weaken the opponent's physical strength is also a tactic.

After being hit twice, Mi Yu's face showed a look of pain.

She was no match for the two in a head-on confrontation. Mi Yu's physical strength was being consumed rapidly, and large amounts of sweat were pouring down her face. Mi Yu's breathing gradually became rapid and heavy.

Generally speaking, Japanese competitions are more gentle and do not involve such intense physical contact. On the other hand, in Europe, competitions are much more rigorous and squeezing and collisions among horse girls are commonplace.

Could it be that the central government has decided to develop the game based on the European situation in the future?

Fujiwara Chiya seemed to vaguely understand the purpose of this new trainer exchange meeting.

Chapter 83: If you don’t have the strength, use your roots

Fujiwara Chiya had said before that Mi Yu's biggest disadvantage was that her body was not suitable for direct contact and collision. Once the opponent approached and came into contact with her, Mi Yu often had to spend several times the opponent's physical strength to resist, which would cause her to deplete her physical strength faster than others.

Strictly speaking, Mi Yu's disadvantage will not cause too much problem, because the horse racing ladies basically will not choose to contact each other. Everyone runs on their own track, looking for the opportunity to accelerate.

However, horse racing girls from countries like the United States, Britain, and France, if they cannot find a good position, do not have the right opportunity to accelerate, or are surrounded by people, they will crash out of the crowd even if they have to.

If there is no opportunity, create it; if there is no position, grab one.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that the competition they experienced was much more harsh than that of the Japanese horse girls.

Not only that, the central stadium is maintained after almost every game to ensure the flatness of the field, while those venues abroad are not maintained for a long time.

According to those horse racing girls who have participated in the [Arc de Triomphe], the ground is full of potholes caused by the horse racing girls' steps, and there is water in some places. It is extremely difficult to run on it, and one will slip if one is not careful.

Not only the intensity of the competition, but also the venue environment, is much more difficult and dangerous in Western countries than here.

This kind of pressure on opponents to give up their positions is commonplace in American competitions.

And now, this brutal competition is taking place on Japanese soil.

Finally, Mi Yu, who no longer had the energy to maintain her original position, was forced to retreat to the back. She was breathing heavily, her forehead covered in sweat. The blows from the opponent's arms just now had consumed too much of her energy.

Soon, another horse girl also chased over from the outside, and the two rushed in front of Mi Yu.

Due to lack of experience and misjudgment of the game situation, if he had retreated to the back earlier, he could have avoided wasting his energy.

Mi Yu reflected on his mistake just now.

She no longer had the ability to sprint to the finish line as she had done before.

"Sorry miss."

The horse racing girl in front squinted her eyes and looked at Mi Yu who was behind her, strangling her emotions. "This is the competition."

Use your inherent advantages to disrupt your opponent's normal performance.

Hearing the words of the horse racing girl who was blocking his way, Mi Yu bit his lip.

The other party seemed to be saying, 'You are too naive about the game.'

Innocent……

Indeed, Mi Yu admitted that he was very naive. He thought that as long as he could step onto the field, he would be able to find happiness and become a shining and eye-catching person like the story told in the book.

When she got to the competition field, she realized that she was not a shining star at all, but a featureless dust mixed into the mud.

Even if you disappear at this point, no one will notice.

But unfortunately, a miracle happened.

That day, she met her elder brother.

The other person lifted her out of the soil, took good care of her, and whispered in her ear: "Mi Yu, you will definitely become the person you want to be."

If her persistence can bring about incredible miracles, then she will stick to it with firm determination!

For her, for her little dream, and for her brother.

Mi Yu clenched his fists.

Soon, the race came to two hundred meters before the finish line, and the two horse girls began to accelerate.

Because she had rushed too fast in the early stages, Te Bie Zhou felt that her physical strength was about to run out. She wanted to take a step, but her ankles felt extremely heavy.

Behind me, two steady footsteps were approaching.

It’s those two people, they have caught up with us!

Te Bie Zhou's mood suddenly became nervous.

She had a feeling that those two people were about to surpass her.

Using up his last bit of strength, Tezhi Zhou ran forward.

"In this game, Mi Yu... doesn't want to lose!"

Just when they were about to touch Te Bie Zhou's tail, a black figure suddenly jumped out from behind them.

The delicate feet were shaking as they stepped on the grass, but even so, the other party still gritted his teeth and relied on his last bit of perseverance to catch up from behind. Wiping the sweat from his face, Mi Yu's eyes were fixed on the front.

Look at the end, just look at the end!

Her brother once taught her this.

Whenever you feel like you can’t do it, just imagine yourself crossing the finish line.

At that time, your body will be full of strength!

Mi Yu's heart was beating faster than ever before. Even though they were several meters away, the two horse girls could hear the heartbeat coming from Mi Yu.

The feeling was like a beast baring its fangs and pouncing on its prey, making them feel cold in their hearts.

but--

Seeing Mi Yu's appearance, they understood that she was already at the end of her strength. Could this inexplicable strength support her to run a few more steps?

The last fifty meters to the finish line.

Special Zhou’s energy was exhausted and he was caught up by the horse girl behind him.

Mi Yu used all his strength to surpass an opponent.

In the end, the competition ended with Teji Zhou second and Mi Yu third.

After crossing the finish line, Mi Yu fell to her knees due to exhaustion. She no longer had the strength to stand up, and her legs were shaking constantly.

Originally, she should have lost with a far lower ranking than the third place, but she managed to overtake the third place with her perseverance.

The price of overdraft is that her legs have completely lost the ability to move.

"Mi Yu! How are you!"

Seeing Mi Yu kneeling on the ground, Te Bie Zhou asked anxiously.

"Mi Yu is fine, Mi Yu... just a little tired." Mi Yu answered with a bitter smile.

She tried her best but still ended up losing miserably in third place.

Mingming had solemnly promised her brother that she would win this game. Mingming had already made up her mind that she would use this game to prove herself.

But nothing can be done...

Her lofty words were ruthlessly shattered in the face of absolute strength.

Yes, she was really naive. Until the very end, she still believed unrealistically that she could do it.
