Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

"But today is a day off..."

"You don't listen to me? Don't you want to be the first in class?"

"All right....."

Tang Han's side.

"Ulala! You have become super strong now!" Tang Han found Ulala and couldn't suppress his joy.

"I'm sorry for dragging Nathan down. Ulala still couldn't get first place." Ulala was a little sad.

"But you did a super super great job!" Tang Han praised from the bottom of his heart.

Now Ulala no longer leaves the gate late when starting, and knows how to allocate her energy properly so that she will not have no energy left to sprint before reaching the finish line.

Furthermore, at the last trials, Wulala was six lengths behind ninth place, but now she's only two lengths behind third-place Happy Mickey! Such rapid progress!

If she is given a little more time, she will definitely grow into a horse girl who can take first place!

But judging by the rocket-like pace of progress, that day won’t be far away.

"That's right, Ulala-chan, you were really great just now!" Saint King Halo also came over and skillfully wiped Ulala's sweat with a towel, his eyes sparkling.

She also noticed Ulala's rapid progress. Although she was still a long way from being the top-notch, Ulala was far behind other horse girls in the past. But now she can compete with other ordinary horse girls. As an old mother, she felt extremely relieved.

Ulala's progress is naturally inseparable from the credit of her trainer.

The Holy King Halo secretly glanced at Tang Han next to him.

This trainer was much stronger than she had imagined. He didn't look like a rookie trainer at all. Apart from being timid and not daring to show his true appearance, he was more like the first-class trainer she had imagined.

The most important thing is his sincerity towards Ulala, which cannot be bought by any amount of money. He is the first trainer recognized by the Holy King Halo.

Saint King Halo remembered that when Ulala invited her to join Tang Han's team, she refused on the grounds that Tang Han was not a first-class trainer.

How about reconsidering it now?

"Really? Hehe~" Ulala smiled immediately after receiving the praise, and the sadness of coming in last place was all thrown away.

"I will definitely get first place next time!" Ulala cutely pointed a finger at Tang Han.

"I believe you!" Tang Han nodded.

Tang Han only has one week left to wear his doctoral uniform. During this week, Tang Han is confident enough to help Ulala get first place.

It’s decided then, Ulala will make her debut in a week!

39. Reserved room

"Thank you for your hard work. Today is Saturday, so take a good rest for two days."

Although her debut match was in a week, Tang Han was not in a hurry to let Ulala increase her training.

Continuous high-intensity training not only fails to enhance strength, but instead makes the mind tired and the body overloaded, leading to a series of troubles.

So even though the debut battle is very important, you must know how to balance work and rest and not be impatient.

"Okay~" Ulala agreed with a smile, turned around and hugged the arm of the Holy King Halo.

"Sheng Wang-chan~ How about we go shopping today? Let's buy some ice cream and carrots~"

"Of course you can, but I'll only buy first-rate ice cream and carrots. I won't eat ordinary food."

"First-rate ice cream and carrots? That sounds amazing! As expected of a first-rate Saint King-chan~"

"Oh, oh, oh—" The joyful Holy King Halo made her unique laugh.

So the two of them returned to the dormitory, planning to give Ulala a bath and change her clothes before going out to play.

Not long after Ulala and Saint King Halo left, Tang Han also planned to leave, probably to go back to the dormitory to read.

But before Tang Han took a few steps, Junchuan Tezuna suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Tang Han Tuoleina~"

"Hello, Miss Junchuan."

"Today is Saturday, you should be free. I would like to treat you to a meal to thank you for what happened last time." Tetsuna Shunkawa said with a smile.

"Do you want to eat?" Tang Han scratched his head.

Tang Han had helped Junchuan Tezuna solve his leg pain problem before, so the next day Junchuan Tezuna wanted to treat Tang Han to a meal as a return gift.

However, that time, because Tang Han had not yet completed his responsibilities with Ulala, he only had two days left in his doctoral uniform, so he really had no time to go out for dinner with Junchuan Tezuna, and thus missed the opportunity to enhance their friendship.

But today he had nothing to do except reading, and since he was free, going out for dinner with Junchuan Tezuna was indeed a good choice.

"Of course." Tang Han agreed.

"Okay, I've already booked a room at a restaurant outside the school. Let's go now." Tetsuna Shunkawa walked ahead impatiently.

"it is good."

Tang Han was just about to leave with Junchuan Tezuna, but when he glanced at Kiryuin Aoi who was still thinking hard in the training ground, Tang Han suddenly had an idea.

Eh? Speaking of increasing friendship, Tang Han suddenly remembered that he had a side quest.

.....

【Side Quest】: Friendship Training

Introduction: Become friends with a fellow trainer and train horse girls together

Reward: Doctoral uniform extended for three days

...

Tang Han came up with a good idea at this time.

Anyway, the goal is to enhance friendship. Instead of enhancing friendship with just one person, it is better to enhance friendship with a group of people.

I can take this opportunity to complete the side quest and extend my doctoral service for three days, which can also be considered as leaving myself a way out.

"Ms. Shunkawa, why don't we invite the Kiryuin trainer and the Gomon trainer to have dinner together? It would be a good opportunity for us to continue communicating and sharing experiences."

"This..." Tetsuna Shunkawa paused, seemingly unwilling.

However, Tang Han thought that Junchuan Tezuna invited him to dinner as a return gift, but Tang Han invited other people to eat for free, just like the girl inviting a bunch of close friends to a blind date. It was an annoying behavior, so she showed some reluctance.

So Tang Han continued, "Don't worry, I'll pay for their share. It won't cost you anything."

Ever since Megumi McQueen agreed to accompany Ulala in training in exchange for the honey special drink, he has been accompanying Ulala in training every day. However, he always felt that he was getting too much money and felt bad about it, so he forced a lot of money on Tang Han. As a result, Tang Han now has some money and can still afford the cost of a meal.

"This..." Junchuan Tezuna originally wanted to have dinner with Tang Han alone and then achieve her ulterior motive, so she was not worried about spending money.

But Tang Han's purpose was very simple. He just wanted to take the opportunity to hold a sharing session. If she disagreed and forced only the two of them to go, she would probably expose her intentions, so she had to agree.

"Of course, the more people there are, the more lively and fun it will be." Tetsuna Sumikawa said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you Ms. Junchuan for your understanding."

Miss Junchuan is indeed a friend worth making!

Tang Han: "Trainer Gangmen, Trainer Kiryuin, Miss Junchuan and I want to hold a sharing session and share our experiences while eating. Would you like to come?"

Gangmen Guantong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can my horse girl, Hinagiku, come with us?"

Daisy next to him tugged at the tail of his shirt that had just been pierced: "I won't go..."

"Don't be afraid, this is just a sharing session. Listening to other people's opinions may help us make progress." Gangmen Guantong reached out and gently touched Daisy's head. "I would be very happy if you could come."

"Um..." Daisy lowered her head shyly.

Tang Han: 6

Tang Han: "Of course."

Gangmen Guantong: "Okay, then we'll bother you."

Kiryuin Aoi asked:

"Will Hiroshima Hoza come?"

"He won't be invited."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Everyone hit it off and went to the restaurant reserved by Tsuna Surukawa to have dinner.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we found that all the seats in the hall were full.

Because today is a holiday, and because the restaurant is located not far from Tresen College, the customers here are all senior trainers who come for dates in their free time and their own pony girls (sad), and there are no empty seats in the hall.

Fortunately, Surukawa Tezuna had already booked a private room in advance, so everyone went there.

As soon as they entered the private room, everyone was surprised by its comfort level.

Although the decoration in the room is not luxurious, it is exquisite and practical. The floor is soft and you won’t get hurt even if you fall on it. The air is filled with a light floral scent, which makes people relax.

If you feel sleepy, there is a small bed in the corner for you to rest.

Especially the sound insulation effect of the room walls. Even though it is so noisy outside, once you enter the room, you can't hear any sound from the outside world at all.

Ms. Junchuan...

The return gift is quite sincere.

40. The trainer who doesn’t understand the horse girl’s heart

The special nature of the room inexplicably reminded Tang Han of a basement.

You see, there are beds and good sound insulation, which makes it very suitable to lure people here and have a good time.

Fortunately, his friend Junchuan Tezuna is trustworthy, so Tang Han is not too worried about being bullied.

After Tetsuna Sumikawa asked the waiter to add four more seats, everyone sat down and started to enjoy the food.

"Tang Han, isn't it troublesome for you to eat like this?" Junchuan Tezuna's mouth twitched.

Because she found that even when Tang Han was eating, he did not take off his doctoral gown, but poured the food directly into the small gap between the collar and the hood like a trash can, not giving others any chance to see his true face.

Tang Han hesitated for a moment: "Well, it is a bit troublesome."

"That......"

"But luckily, I'm a bit of a Chuunibyou, so this unique way of eating suits me very well."

"..."

Seeing that Tang Han was still deliberately hiding his true appearance, it would be inappropriate to ask him again, so Junchuan Tezuna had to give up.

Everyone continued to eat quietly.

But this kind of quietness is not what Tang Han wants to see.

Please speak up, and it would be better if you ask some questions. If you don’t ask questions, how can I help you solve the problem and complete the task?

"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Perhaps a problem that has been bothering you for a long time may seem easy to solve to others," said Tang Han.

Tang Han's words really resonated with Kiryuin Aoi, because she had a question that she couldn't figure out.

"Okay." Kiryuin Aoi nodded and asked the question first.

“Actually, I’m a little confused…”

"My ponygirl, Happy Miko, is a very talented ponygirl. She took first place in the trials. And Miko still had some strength left in her, so it wasn't her limit."

"But in today's friendly match, in the final sprint, Miko couldn't perform to his full potential and seemed to have regressed compared to before."

Tang Han pointed out: "Maybe it's not that she's retreating, but because Xiao Nanhai is standing in front of Happy Mickey."

Kiryuin Aoi shook her head.

"I know that the Hiroshima trainer had Xiao Nanhai deliberately block the front. It's obvious, and I saw it too."

"But during the trials, Miko was blocked by Xiao Nanhai in front, but he also passed him from behind. That shouldn't be the problem."

"So I suspect I changed Miko's running form without permission. What do you think?"

Kiryuin Aoi looked at everyone expectantly.

"Sorry..." Gangmen Guantong touched his hair awkwardly.

"I didn't notice Happy Mickey's running posture because I only had eyes for Daisy-chan."
