Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Although Hitsukohaku sensed the impending crisis earlier than Satomi Kozumi, Satomi Kozumi, with her extensive competition experience, took the initiative and formulated a countermeasure before Hitsukohaku could react.

By the time Hitoko Amber tried to imitate her, she had already discovered that her escape route was blocked by other racehorse girls!

In school, this is called bullying, but on the sports field... it's called "encirclement and annihilation".

Satomi Hikari looked at Hishiko Amber beside him, who was moving slowly and deliberately, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. For some reason, Hishiko Amber had been hostile towards him since the beginning, and he also had a feeling that this racehorse girl he had never met before—Hihiko Amber—was definitely a formidable rival that he could not ignore.

But now that this formidable rival is surrounded, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Now, the only person he needs to face is Kobayashi Riki, who is in first place.

3200 meters is an extremely long track for any racehorse girl. For runaway horses, the longer they run, the longer they have to withstand wind resistance and consume extra energy. Runaway horses are not a good choice here. Unless they are runaway racehorse girls with super top-notch stamina, they will inevitably lose speed near the end of the race.

At that moment, victory would belong to you alone!

Right now, Satomi Hikari really wants to say something like that from a villainous young lady in a novel—

Hitoko Amber, you'll just stay here and suffer being surrounded by other racehorse girls, hehehe!

Chapter 124 I want this herd of horses; they can no longer hold me back! (Bounty 6)

Originally, Hitotsu Amber was looking at various running styles such as escape, lead, and runner, thinking that with her intelligence, as long as she went to the racetrack, she should be able to run a decent race no matter what.

But it was only when Hitoko Amber ran alongside the racehorse girls for the first time that she realized that running style, and the things that need to be considered when running style, are not things that can be learned overnight.

The racehorses around her kept crowding towards her in order to seize space in the inner lane, like a rope gradually tightening around her neck, slowly depriving her of room to move.

[Oh my, it seems that Hitoko Amber has gotten caught in the herd... Racehorse girls don't like to get too close to each other. We like to keep our eyes fixed on one opponent to catch up and overtake. But if we get surrounded by other racehorse girls and can't see the road ahead... our fighting spirit will be devoured by them.]

The horse girls sitting in the stands were also sweating bullets for Hitoko Amber. Those of them who were able to sit in the stands had all participated in high-stakes races. Apart from those horse girls who ran away at the start and surrendered by shouting "Oyster (No)" when they ran out of energy, they had all experienced being surrounded by horses to some extent.

Unable to accelerate, unable to limit speed, unable to change lanes, unable to breathe—any racehorse girl will experience uncontrollable panic when faced with being sandwiched; this is a vulnerability that exists deep within the soul of a racehorse girl.

The racing style of the horse girl is to hold back in the early stages and then make a powerful final sprint to seize victory.

Where does that heroic final sprint come from?

That is the fighting spirit that remains in the heart of the racehorse girl, the girl's sincerity as bright as the sunlight and her openness as free as the wind, which enables the racehorse girl to run as fast as the wind.

Of course, some racehorse girls are frustrated because they are constantly being chased and tripped up on their way to the race. Their hearts are filled with the fire of revenge, and they vent all their frustration and anger when they make their final sprint... This kind of technique is generally called patience in the Pokémon and racehorse girl world.

But a racehorse girl must always have some fighting spirit. If that spirit is worn away, she won't be able to catch up with the other racehorse girls in the final sprint.

This is probably the first lesson that Hitotsu Amber learned after arriving in Central Tressen.

Satomi Hikari glanced at Hitotsuko, but unfortunately, the price for this lesson was the outcome of a G3-level match...

"You guys always talk about Uma Musume no Uma Musume... what kind of creatures are Uma Musume no Uma Musume, and what their instincts are like."

But Amber, who was among the horses, suddenly muttered something.

But I'm not exactly a full-fledged Uma Musume (horse girl)!

If the running posture of a racehorse girl is instinct, something innate, then I shouldn't have started learning the running posture from scratch and tried to run at top speed to adapt to the high wind resistance that hurts one's eyes when running...

She was a racehorse girl who came to the profession halfway through her life; the three goddesses never gave her these instincts or these basic soul-related settings.

and so……

"I'm not afraid of your pursuit and interception!"

I am who I am, a racehorse girl, and also a human...

The biggest difference between humans and racehorse girls is that racehorse girls are ultimately the gentle creations of three women. No matter how fast or ferocious they run, they are still gentle, kind, and beautiful girls. When faced with no other choice, they will choose the girl part.

But humans who are racehorse girls... would choose to fight to the death.

Back when Kotobuki Toru ruined his own livelihood, I was ready to fight him to the death, let alone you horse racers who want to steal my prize money!

Those in front, those on the left, those on the right! Come on, all of you!

Being squeezed out means you have to retreat? Retreat for no reason! There's still plenty of space ahead!

I want to see who will back down in the end!

The next moment, the horse girls closest to Hitotsu Kohaku suddenly felt a chilling gaze. All three horse girls simultaneously felt that someone was watching them...

It was a gaze like the sun, an aura like flames, burning one's back with heat... The powerful aura was not concealed in the slightest, as if the ghostly girl stood proudly amidst the three people's encirclement, ready to kill everything.

Some of the racehorse girls could even faintly hear the sound of weapons being swung at them!

Several mid-level racehorses didn't even have the courage to turn around.

In Satomi Hikari's vision, a colorful light seemed to flash across Hitomi Kohaku's body...

She had seen this dazzling light before, but it had been a long time since she had seen it. The last time she had seen such light was when she went to the top-level G1 tournament, the Kikusho Arena, to watch her idol, Ms. Mejiro McQueen, play...

The brilliance of self-created skills.

Are self-created skills strong?

That's not necessarily true. Some racehorse girls' self-created skills may never be used even once in their entire career... and the effect of some racehorse girls' self-created skills may not even be as good as the most basic concentration.

However, self-created skills are exceptionally precious. They represent the race girl's unique understanding of the racetrack, her personality, and the three goddesses' recognition of her racing style.

Only horse girls with their own unique skills deserve to be called one-of-a-kind horse girls!

"What kind of wreath is that? She just charged at me!"

"Hitting someone on the field is a foul."

"Gulp... Is this still a control skill? How come it's so powerful? Oyster..."

A dazzling light, predominantly crimson, shone on Scarlet Amber's body, and her ghostly figure burst forth from the loosened herd of horses with an aura that seemed to cleave the heavens and split the clouds.

Faintly, a stream of light appeared before Fei Tu Hu Po's eyes.

[Unnamed: When other racer girls are within a three-meter radius, the skill will reduce all attributes of those racer girls and increase all attributes of the user. The skill effect will slightly increase for each racer girl present, up to a maximum of three.]

[Spirit/Agility: Passive characters are more susceptible to the effects of control-type skills, but control-type skills can also be more effective.]

Fei Tu Hu Po's heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Two skills appeared at once... One of them didn't even have a name, but it was probably a legendary self-created skill that looked very powerful. The other one had a name and should be considered a registered skill.

That's perfect! I'd like to see who can stop me!

Before they could even be considered to be on par, Hitoko Amber instantly surpassed the original class of servants, and even surpassed Satomi Hikari beside her.

In the final kilometer, Hibiki Amber sprinted forward recklessly.

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

Chapter 125 I observe that Ritsuka's courage is no less than that of the Scarlet Amber.

[Unexpectedly, the previously unknown and unnoticed Hiruko Amber has unleashed her self-created skill! Satomi Hikari has chosen to retreat and avoid the fray, turning against Hiruko Amber! She's actually charging straight at the racehorse girls surrounding her! Her momentum is unparalleled, like a force of nature!]

"This, how is this possible?!"

Satomi Hikari, who was originally confident, was now in complete panic. Although the G3 race, which was organized by Central Treson, was attended by the best rookie race girls and the intensity of the race was comparable to G2, this race was still just a rookie race.

And now she's even brought out these self-created skills... She looks silly and weak, but could she really be some kind of martial arts genius?

At this moment, Hitoko Amber seemed to have been freed from its restraints, displaying its full sharpness. The racehorse beside her slowed down as if under a curse, while Hitoko Amber grew stronger with each battle...

The closer Hito Kohaku gets to other racehorse girls, the more courageous she becomes when surrounded by them... Is she still a racehorse girl?

Strength and speed—the sheer power and presence alone, displayed by her pure attributes, instilled in a prestigious racehorse girl like Mitsuko Satomi feelings of suffocation and fear.

Even more ostentatious was that when Amber approached, he seemed to be showing off, and all his attributes increased again...

As for Hitotsu Amber, she was so arrogant that she didn't even give him a chance to keep up. She overtook him in the blink of an eye, while he felt cold and timid in front of Hitotsu Amber.

This disparity is like a delicate flower nurtured in a greenhouse encountering a fierce general who has fought countless battles on the battlefield; no matter how much it struggles, it can only be trampled underfoot...

A good racehorse needs both determination and momentum to sprint.

Satomi Hikari's aura is the result of the Satomi family's long-standing desire for the ultimate, but compared to Hitoshi Kohaku's aura, it's like a tiger encountering a proud dragon lurking in the abyss.

Truly spirited and indomitable.

As Satomi Kouzumi watched Hitsukaku's retreating figure, he felt slightly dazed. It seemed that he himself had been awestruck by Megumi McQueen's presence back then...

But he remains the pride of the Satomi family. All he needs to do now is shift his focus from chasing after Miss McQueen to chasing after Hitoko Kohaku...

If this continues, the limelight will be completely stolen by the Scarlet Amber!

Regardless of winning or losing, after this match, at the very least, one must gain the reputation of "My courage in seeing the diamond is no less than that of the Scarlet Amber"!

"2500 meters... right here! Satomi Hikari reports for duty!"

[Stealth Stance: Recover stamina in the late game when behind]

With a burst of light, Satomi Hikari instantly surpassed the racehorse girls who were somewhat bewildered by Hitoko Amber's overwhelming aura, and then accelerated once again as if using battle to fuel further battle.

[Come on top: Acceleration ability is further enhanced when overtaking other racehorse girls]

In an instant, Satomi Hikari became the second racehorse girl to win the cheers of the entire stadium.

"Miss Hibiki! Let's have a showdown! Aaaaaaahhhhh!"

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

"what about me?"

Kobayashi Riki, who was in the lead, wanted to ask Satomi Hikari the same question, but at this moment she was already in a state of tears and sweat. Although she didn't have any vision-related skills, she had already seen Hitotsu Kohaku's crimson figure in the wide-angle vision of the horse girl.

If a runaway horse can see other racehorse girls in its field of vision, it is already a very dangerous sign. At best, it means that it has been bitten; at worst, it means that it has been overtaken!

Kobayashi Riki is a horse racer who believes in feng shui and fortune. She believes in the cyclical flow of feng shui and the eight cycles of fortune in China, and she also has some knowledge of divination and qi observation.

Before today's race, she had already consulted a fortune teller, who said that as long as she was careful of the racehorse girl, she would definitely achieve good results in this race.

As for the racehorse girls, the only one with potential and reputation today is Satomi Hikari. So when Kobayashi observed Satomi Hikari this morning and found that Satomi Hikari's forehead was dark and there were dark clouds around it, she was secretly delighted for a long time.

Today's feng shui isn't on Satomi Hikari's side, which means my chances are much better. I just need to maintain a steady performance and pay close attention to Satomi Hikari and the Mejiro family's golden ship...

I might actually win the title of Rookie of the Year!

But even though I was told to be careful of the horse, I noticed the diamond in the sand and the golden ship... I used all my skills: focus, track recovery, wind resistance reduction.

What's with this sudden appearance of the Scarlet Amber?!

Although fortune tellers cannot tell their own fortunes or reveal heavenly secrets, in this situation, Kobayashi suddenly realized something.

Today's fortune is not only not on Hikaru Satomi's side, but also... not on my side!

She wasn't particularly good at adapting to grass and long-distance tracks, and her physical fitness and endurance were even less impressive. She only signed up for the rookie race because the divination said that if the female racehorses underperformed today, she would win.

But isn't this divination just setting me up for failure? So many freaks... why not just say that if the other 17 racehorses underperform at Arima Kinen, I can beat Arima Kinen tomorrow?

After using up all his skills, Kobayashi could only lament that fortunes could change so easily, and that the Scarlet Amber had the power to turn the tide...

This is a 3200-meter track! With 1000 meters to go, Hibiki Amber started to accelerate with her last sprint... If you can really sprint to the finish line at full speed...

I won't watch the Mongolian derby next year without you!

After sighing for a while, watching Hibiki Amber's receding figure, Kobayashi Riki finally let out a wail: "My eyesight!!!"

The first place position changed hands instantly.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Satomi Hikari's powerful shout, like a V8 engine starting up, followed. The young lady of the Satomi family, having given her all and used all the skills she had mastered, overtook Kobayashi Riki, who had lost speed due to insufficient stamina, right after Hitoko Amber.

Second place was taken by Kozo Satomi, but then... Kozo Satomi discovered something in despair.

After the skill-based competition, it becomes a battle of pure strength, speed, and endurance...

She couldn't catch up with Scarlet Amber.

[Hitoko is in the lead! Kozumi Satomi is hot on their heels!]

[200 meters to the finish line! The gap between the two racehorses remains unchanged!]
