Half of a Umamusume

Her body trembled twice and she clenched her teeth. In this case, she could not fail.

"Then please welcome our second most popular person, the Snow Dancer—!"

Following the host's voice, Fujiwara Shirayuki walked onto the stage. Listening to the deafening cheers, Fujiwara Shirayuki was more excited than ever before. Every muscle and blood vessel in her body seemed to be beating with the wind.

From a distance, Fujiwara Shirayuki saw Qianye and her companions standing in the crowd.

Fujiwara Shirayuki smiled.

She wanted to reassure herself and her companions.

After Fujiwara Shirayuki stepped down from the stage, the most popular contestant came on stage.

A horse girl, Condor, who has achieved impressive results in various activities and simulation competitions.

"Fly, win, the world's strongest——! deeesu——!"

She shouted on the stage with her characteristic quirk of speech.

After the pre-race presentation, the horse girls entered the gate one after another, and the condor came next to Shirayuki.

"This should be our first official competition, Yuki-chan!"

"Call me Snow Dancer."

"Sorry... ahem, Snow Dancer, this name is really hard to pronounce, not as friendly as Snow-chan."

Forget it, let her call her whatever she wants.

"Yes, this is our first game."

"Then your first blood was taken by Shenying! Go back to class and tell everyone that your first time was not with Xiaote, nor with Xiaocao, but with me, Shenying!" She proudly puffed out her chest and said something incoherent.

"I don't intend to tell my first time here."

"It doesn't matter. The more you resist, the more excited I am. The Condor is invincible!" After saying that, the other party laughed heartily.

The two entered the gate.

"All the horse girls have entered the gates, so the next step is the debut competition. Which horse girl will start her own legend? Let's wait and see--!"

Listening to the sounds from the stadium, Fujiwara Shirayuki took a deep breath. In her head, one side was the perspective from inside the gate, and the other side was the perspective from outside the gate, overlooking the stadium.

The biggest benefit that two perspectives bring to Fujiwara Shirayuki is that she can see the blind spots behind her, that is, she can discover other people's actions in time from a third-party perspective. This is especially important in a game where tactics play an increasingly important role.

The gate opened and twelve figures rushed out like arrows. Three of them were a little slow and fell behind.

Apparently they weren't focused enough.

Fujiwara Shirayuki quickly looked for a suitable position in the crowd.

There are six horse girls taking the lead in this race, and the pressure in the front row is very high, so Fujiwara Shirayuki plans to stay in the back row of the team to avoid wasting energy in the confrontation.

As expected, after the race started, the leading horse girls fought fiercely for position. Their bodies were pressed together, forcing the other party to give up their position. The race had just begun, and some of the horse girls had consumed a lot of physical energy.

Although it is important to find a good position, you also have to consider the pros and cons. It's okay if the other party gives up and gives way, but if you meet someone who is stubborn and refuses to retreat, it will be a waste of time.

After observing the horse girls in the front row, Fujiwara Shirayuki looked for the Condor. After looking around but couldn't see it, she finally found it through Fujiwara Chiya's perspective.

Right behind.

The condor was actually right behind him!

The opponent didn't even choose the side rear position which is more conducive to acceleration.

Why is this happening? Why is it blocking my view?

If Fujiwara Shirayuki was alone, she really wouldn't be able to notice the movements of the Condor. No one knew that she was competing with the opponent from a bird's eye view. In the distance, Fujiwara Chiya was staring at the Condor.

This guy is sneaking around, what on earth is he trying to do?

Fujiwara Chiya had investigated beforehand and found that among all the contestants, Shenying posed the greatest threat to Bai Xue. The opponent's final sprint speed was terrifying, and he was in the first tier among the freshmen.

If Bai Xue accelerates in a single round, she may not be able to surpass Shenying, so the key to winning or losing this game is position and acceleration timing. Bai Xue must accelerate before Shenying accelerates, but her position cannot be too forward.

It is not easy to do this, she must predict the movements of the condor in advance.

Can I do that, with my experience as a rookie trainer?

In the audience, Fujiwara Chiya hesitated. He looked at the horse racing girls next to him who were looking forward to Shirayuki's victory, and looked at Mejiro Dobo who clasped his hands tightly together. Finally, Fujiwara Chiya gritted his teeth.

It’s not a matter of whether you can do it or not, but whether you must do it.

Fujiwara Chiya focused all his attention on the condor.

Once, Fujiwara Chiya almost jumped out of the audience seats because of his concentration problem. Later, through his own persistent training, Fujiwara Chiya developed two sets of thinking modes.

One set is himself, and the other is Snow White.

In addition to the common senses, the differences between the two people are getting bigger and bigger, and there are obvious differences in thinking. Bai Xue gradually has female instincts, but Qian Ye has no inclination in this regard.

This change in thinking also gave Fujiwara Chiya the ability to divide his mind into two parts. While Bai Xue was thinking independently, Qianye could also think deeply. The two were separate from each other but proceeded simultaneously, which meant that Qianye would no longer have the same problems as before. When he was extremely focused, he would forget his identity.

His two hearts have learned to beat each other without being affected by each other, and the potential of his two brains has also been developed at this time. Fujiwara Chiya is observing the movements of the condor, while Shirayuki is running wholeheartedly.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Fujiwara Chiya still found someone to hold him back.

"Mi Yu, if I do something stupid, you have to hold me back."

"Yes! Mi Yu will never let Brother run around!"

Knowing the other party's criminal record, Mi Yu held Fujiwara Chiya's hand tightly to prevent him from doing anything irrational because of Shirayuki's fall.

As a horse girl, dealing with an adult male is as easy as dealing with a baby. As long as Mi Yu wants, she can pin the other person to the ground and make him unable to move at any time.

After getting the guarantee, Fujiwara Chiya no longer had any worries. At this time, the race had passed the third bend and the horse racing girls started to take action one after another.

First, there were several horse girls in the front row. Due to the physical exhaustion at the beginning of the race, some of them showed signs of fatigue with lack of stamina. Their foreheads were covered with sweat, and their breathing became heavy and disordered.

After the front row accelerated, their movements became noticeably slower.

The gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.

These people are running out of energy. Should we spare them?

Fujiwara Shirayuki thought quickly, she looked at the sign on the fence that had the number '5' written on it.

There are still 500 meters to the finish line, which is the distance she can sprint at full speed.

However, the current position is very bad. The three horse girls who are showing signs of fatigue are gradually running side by side. If they want to overtake them, they need to run to the outermost lane. Therefore, Fujiwara Shirayuki needs to wait. When the three people meet, there will definitely be this opportunity. When they are insufficient in physical strength, they will not be stupid enough to pass the corner side by side.

Following behind Bai Xue, Condor's eyes were fixed on the other party.

This position was a blind spot. She had been staying right behind him since the start of the game and had never appeared in Bai Xue's sight.

This place was chosen by the Condor on purpose as it was the most suitable location for an ambush. According to the trainer, Snow White would probably look for an opportunity to accelerate between 400 and 500 meters before the finish line, and that would be the time for her to attack.

She suddenly appeared from a completely unknown position, blocking the opponent's path. At the moment when the three horse girls crossed each other, as long as she appeared on the side of Snow White and overtook her, she would be able to block Snow White's only way out. At that time, Snow White could either choose to follow behind and speed up with her, or choose to run to the outside lane and spend several more meters of effort to overtake her.

No matter which Condor she chooses, she will win. In terms of maximum speed, Condor and Snow White are on par with each other, so as long as she can get ahead of Snow White at the final bend, the other party will never be able to surpass her.

This is the trainer's tactic, and its purpose is to hinder Fujiwara Shirayuki's acceleration.

Condor was closely watching the movements of the three horse girls in front of Shirayuki.

Just as their positions gradually intersected, the condor silently calculated in his heart, three seconds, two seconds, one second... When they were about to leave a position for one person, the condor moved.

Caught!

The condor smiled, and its rapidly waving arms looked like the wings of a strange bird.

Sorry, Bai Xue, this is the game, this is the strategy! Don't say I'm mean! Obstructing the opponent is also part of the game!

Condor instantly took a step forward and came to the outside of the team. Just as she was about to sprint, a white figure appeared in front of her.

The condor's eyes suddenly widened.

what! ?

It’s Bai Xue, she is still here!

The absolute tactical arrangement gave Condor absolute confidence. She was 100% sure that she was always in the blind spot of Bai Xue's vision. Her acceleration timing was perfect without any mistakes.

But the other party seemed to have predicted her movements. The moment the Condor took action, Bai Xue also moved, and the two of them ran to the periphery of the team at the same time.

By chance? Luck!?

I don’t know and I don’t understand.

Condor was shocked. She never expected that her perfect plan would be discovered by Snow White.

She has eyes on the back of her head! How can she see?

Condor broke out in a cold sweat.

"I see……"

In the audience, Fujiwara Chiya pinched her chin.

This guy, Condor, actually wanted to block my position at the last minute.

No wonder Nanase Fumino said that she had found a way to fight against Shirayuki. This method of blocking vision is really hard to defend against. If you are really blocked by the opponent, it will be extremely difficult to win the game.

Fortunately, the other party's plan failed and was discovered by Fujiwara Chiya in advance.

"Snow Dancer!" The Condor gritted his teeth.

"Hey, strange bird——!"

Bai Xue looked at the astonished face behind her.

The condor's eyes changed.

If tactics don’t work, we can only rely on hard power!

But now the situation has reversed. She failed to block the opponent's position, and instead her way out was blocked by Bai Xue. If she wants to get through, she needs to enter the outer road.

No matter what! I am the Condor, how can I fail here!

"Come and fight, Snow Dancer!"

"Speed ​​up! The Condor is speeding up! With 300 meters left in the race, the Condor is speeding up--!"

So fast!

Seeing the power unleashed by the Condor, Fujiwara Shirayuki's eyes became solemn.

The tactical competition is over, the advantages have been established, and what we need to do now is to vent all our physical strength!

"Snow Dancer!!"

“Strange bird——!!”

The two people sprinted forward with all their might.

"It's the Condor and the Snow Dancer! It's the Condor and the Snow Dancer--!!" The host's voice echoed in the arena: "The game has become a one-man show for two people. Who is it! Who will win this game!?"

Two people stood out from the crowd and sprinted towards the finish line.

A little bit, a little bit worse!

Condor gritted his teeth.

Fujiwara Shirayuki bent down and stretched her ankles to the extreme.

Her sweat was almost blinding her eyes.

"Is it the Condor! Or is it the Snow Dancer!?"

Her heart was burning and her blood was boiling. Looking at the finish line that was just around the corner, Fujiwara Shirayuki sincerely felt the desire to cross the finish line faster than anyone else.

Putting all her strength into her right foot, Fujiwara Shirayuki jumped up the moment she landed.

"Cross the finish line!! The winner is the Snow Dancer--!!"

There was a deafening cheer in the stadium.

“I lost!”

In the classroom, Shenying hugged Cao Shangfei and cried loudly, and the latter had a troubled expression.
