Tianma? Actually, I'm a doctor!

When Bai Jin's figure walked out of the backstage quickly.

The staff member turned around and continued speaking.

"Second popularity, reputation and honor, please prepare to enter."

The blonde lady named Renown Honor is one of the core members of the Kumo Group.

She was also quite impatient for the competition to begin!

This was the undefeated Pegasus Platinum! To say it had garnered worldwide attention was no exaggeration.

If we can defeat it... even if it is done by the most despicable and shady means of containment.

That will definitely bring infamy, but will also bring great honor!

Rather than remaining unknown, it would be better to fight for this victory that brings both infamy and honor, to gather the strength of the Kumo Group, and to form a legion-like offensive to encircle Platinum!

Reputation and Honor didn't believe that with eight horse girls as opponents and four of them trying their best to target and surround them, there was still a horse girl who could break through this defense line.

If this could really be done...what kind of monster would it be?

Reputation and Honor didn't think that would happen, so now all she had to do was get ready to start sniping Tenma!!

Finally... the opportunity has come!

(During this period, we can specifically find the escape race horse girl to enhance the acceleration and even rhythm guidance when grabbing position after leaving the gate.)

(Block Tianma and control the tempo, and victory is in your hands.)

(Except for Tenma, the other four horse girls are just so-so. The winner must be from our Kumo Group!)

-----------------------------------

The Eclipse Championships have begun! This event, with nine participants, nearly double the number, welcomes a heavyweight powerhouse.

[The current entry is Tianma Platinum, who has finally returned to Europe after winning the Epsom Derby in the UK!]

[Platinum, who won the Lunar Eclipse title, will launch an attack towards the championship in the Solar Eclipse Championship! ]

Will this become a classic battle where Lunar Eclipse pays tribute to Solar Eclipse, or...will it become a fierce battle beyond ordinary people's imagination?

[Can the highly anticipated Lunar Eclipse reign supreme in the Solar Eclipse Championship? The most outstanding, powerful, and beloved Pegasus in Japanese history will appear!]

When the commentator's voice began to sound!

The door to the backstage of Uma Musume opened, and a silver-white girl carrying a bow and arrow began to appear in everyone's sight.

The close-up shot on the big screen also switched to the appearance of Pegasus Platinum!

……

In the audience, as Tianma Baijin appeared, enthusiastic cheers immediately rang out!

After all, this is the home turf where those European horse racing girls have an advantage with their reputation and honors!

Not only that, in addition to the home advantage, the Kumo Group's horse girls will also receive a lot of promotion and publicity in Europe because of their family background.

But in this situation, Platinum's popularity is far greater than the total of the four horse girls in the entire Kumo Group, who account for half of the total number of contestants!

"Gua, Platinum is number one in the world!!"

"It was such a hassle flying to Dubai and Japan to watch Platinum compete. I can finally see her compete in Europe!"

"Pegasus Pegasus Pegasus! Miss Platinum is the best in the world!!"

"I underestimated her before, thinking the Astronomers would definitely win, and I was too lazy to watch the competition. This time the Pegasus competition returns to Europe, I absolutely cannot miss it!"

"This is interesting. Asia's Pegasus versus Europe's Kumo Group? Asia's Light Platinum must not lose."

"In a competition, the more people there are, the more advantages there are. Platinum is definitely the strongest!"

The thunderous cheers exceeded all previous cheers by horse racing girls and could be said to be the highest cheers ever achieved by an Asian horse racing girl in a European competition!

And this wasn't Platinum's victory at the finish line, it was just his pre-race appearance!!

Her popularity is evident in Japan! She has surpassed the symbol of Ludo, the Oguri hat, breaking the shackles of Japanese horse racing girls and becoming famous around the world.

The tens of thousands of spectators and fans in the auditorium were filled with sounds that surpassed those of ordinary GI races!

Just by making a debut, they achieved such a cheer that surpassed the ordinary cheers at the finish line in GI competitions. Even if you look at all the GI competitions in the history of Europe, you can't find such an exaggerated situation.

And what about the current Platinum——!

The position of her gate was very conventional, it was Gate No. 5 in the middle.

Compared to the consecutive big outside roads in the previous few games, Platinum has been in the middle in the last two or three games, which is considered good luck.

When the silver-white girl, carrying a bow and arrow, calmly walked into the gate...

Next up is the second most popular person, Reputation Honor. She is the strongest rising star in the Kumo Group and may be Pegasus Platinum's number one rival.

[As the leader of Kumo's current corps, can she present a wonderful performance for the audience? ]

【Let's...wait and see! 】

……

Soon after, all the horse racing girls entered the gate one after another, and the countdown reached the final moment.

Not many people noticed that the Kumo Group's horse girls on both sides of Platinum couldn't help but switch their gazes from the exit in front to Platinum at the gate next to them.

(Gu…)

(What a terrifying Pegasus! The aura she exudes after stepping through the gate is no less impressive than mine at full power.)

Is Platinum serious right now? Or... isn't she serious at all?

(For an opponent like this, the only way to win is to [encircle and block]! Sorry!)

()

【10! 】

【9! 】

【8! 】

The countdown begins now.

The silver-white girl gently stroked the quiver on her back.

Only... eight arrows!

Although this may be a lot for European competitions, Platinum still feels a little regretful.

Miss Platinum, who is used to more than a dozen horse girls and shooting more than a dozen foals in each game, still feels a little uncomfortable in competitions with only a single-digit number of opponents.

And now... win the Eclipse Championship first, and then get the second set of Knight Armor!

【3】

【2! 】

【1! ! 】

As the gate opened, all the horse racing ladies in the venue became extremely serious at the same time.

At this moment, the fame and honor were at the gate of Bai Jin's side, and her heartbeat accelerated completely.

(Shinobi has always used either escaping or chasing.)

(The disadvantages of chasing horses outweigh their advantages, and are rarely used in Europe and the United States.)

(In recent races, from the Dubai World Cup to the Takarazuka Kinen, I've watched the videos and Tenma was always on the run.)

(Obviously, in order to prepare for the upcoming expedition, Bai Jin must have practiced the exit gate just like me. She must have escaped as usual.)

(Come on, my exit and acceleration at the start are definitely not slower than yours!)

finally--

In the next second!

All the gates were opened at the same time, and no less than nine horse racing ladies in the field suddenly rushed out at the same time, and the spectacular scene finally began to unfold.

Among the nine horse racing girls, nearly half of them started to accelerate when they left the gate.

It was visibly fast, and Ben would be ahead of most of the horse girls in the field.

On the left and right sides of Platinum, the two horse girls from the Kumo Group, when they were about to overtake Platinum in the middle...

In an instant, the pupils of the two Kumarajiva girls who were extremely focused on Platinum's position and even speed shrank.

Eh? ?

Even the reputation and honor of being the second most popular and the strongest member of the Kumo Corps made him sweat profusely.

(No...why didn't you run away?)

(If he doesn't accelerate after the gate, is he staying behind as a trailing horse, or is he chasing?)

Most of the time, it's a good thing when you see your opponent running like a late horse.

That means you're naturally behind, and in most closely contested races where the difference between the last two places is only half a length, or at most one or two lengths, that will be the decisive factor in your defeat.

But... Pegasus Platinum is completely different!

As for the fame and honor at this moment, she was sure that with Platinum's extraordinary strength, she could easily surpass the world-class horse girls.

Even if you are a worse horse or even a chasing horse and are naturally two lengths behind at the start, then in theory it is no problem to win them by a few lengths.

(No, we must surround them! Even if it's not the fleeing horse, but the chasing horse, Platinum...)

(If we let her move freely and speed up at will, we will still lose!)

(The difference might simply be that when running away you're left ten horse lengths behind, while when chasing you're left a few horse lengths behind. The result remains the same!)

and so……

The next moment, Reputation and Honor clenched her teeth, biting hard until she felt a hint of pain, and she made a decision immediately.

Then... change the formation. Have the other Kumo Umamus slow down and take over Platinum's left and right flanks! I'll block the front of Pegasus.

Although he was caught off guard by Bai Jin's horse-chasing method.

But since he had already made a plan to contain the enemy, he had also thought about how to deal with Platinum if he was caught up with the horse.

Therefore, she had also trained before the game, the tactical changes when Platinum chose to chase the horse! Even if it was chasing the horse...it would be surrounded!

The other Kumamusume, who were in perfect tacit understanding, actually slowed down slightly and moved closer to Platinum in the middle.

immediately--

After the two Kuma Saimusu stopped speeding up and stayed firmly on the left and right sides of Platinum, they still did not speed up.

When Fame and Honor had already accelerated to the front of Platinum, her original high speed suddenly slowed down. It was a shocking scene that could be seen by the naked eye and by the entire audience.

That's right, a horse girl who was clearly accelerating out of the gate to grab a position, when she saw that Platinum beside her was not accelerating, she rushed in front of Platinum and started to slow down...

In addition, following Platinum who stayed behind, the two Kumarajima girls who stuck to the left and right sides, such behavior was already unconcealed and even blatant!

Even though this is a rapid change of just a few seconds, everything is clearly revealed on the big screen.

In the audience seats on both sides, countless stunned and incredible reactions and voices were heard!

The noises were so loud that they were almost inaudible and extremely intense!

The Kumo family's horse girls currently had no energy left to feel the audience. Their focus, all their attention... was still on the surrounded silver-white girl.

When the slowed-down Mingrong finally saw the two familiar members of the Kumo Group in her peripheral vision... her heart was finally at ease.

(Finally—I hit the platinum!)

(Although the price is high, but... at least the chances of winning are high, so it's all worth it!)

As long as we can win!

Even if there is a bad reputation, even if it goes against the competitive spirit that Uma Musume should have, so what?

Can the so-called spirit be more valuable than the precious GI championship, or than honors such as "Tianma's first defeat"?

Of course not!!

As long as they win, as time goes by, this shady scene will gradually be forgotten by people, just like the shady scene of the fighter's defeat, with only written records left, or it will be completely forgotten!

As long as——I can win!!!

Unbridled ecstasy filled the hearts of these three horse racing girls.
