Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

As the older sister, and as someone who loves reading, Gao Shangjunyi has mastered quite a few skills... In Xuanyuan Shisi's team, she was able to achieve the highest score in the entire team despite not having particularly high attributes, all thanks to these skills!

The skill that Qiangji possesses, Gaoshang Junyi may possess, but the skill that Gaoshang Junyi possesses, Qiangji may not possess!

[Restraint] [Preemptive Restraint]

Two beams of light shone from Gao Shangjunyi's body... like chains that could bind everything, or like bright red venomous snakes, biting down hard on Qiangji's feet.

Satomi Kozumi didn't let this opportunity pass... A small restraining skill lit up from her tail, and after a slight charge, it shot towards Qiangji's back like an arrow.

Although Satomi Kō had previously advised her against acting impulsively, it was still perfectly acceptable for her to secretly kick someone when they were down while they were in trouble!

"Ugh..." Qiangji, whose entire body was glowing red, let out a painful groan. As a fragile racehorse girl who was not good at endurance, Qiangji's stamina was instantly depleted after taking a lot of skills... and she began to lose speed.

Even when she lost speed, Qiangji still stubbornly called out to her teammate in front of her, "Northern sister! I've done everything I could! I'm currently burning out... Keep it up!"

The Northern Black Steed looked terrified: "Huh? Then I'm fighting alone!"

But the strong attack had already disappeared on the track behind.

After the powerful attack caused the horse to lose speed, the previously calm and stalemate situation in the rear of the racehorse girls' camp was instantly disrupted...

Because the Xuanyuan Squad's horse girls configuration only has a lead horse and a follower horse, without any runaway horses or chasers, although there will be competition between them while running, if it comes to eliminating dissidents... the three horse girls in the back row are as brave as gods and Buddhas, unstoppable.

Moreover, although these three horse girls seem to have a bad relationship, they have lived and eaten together for so long that they are already very familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding. They have not spoken or communicated with each other at all.

After losing speed due to the powerful attack, the three of them immediately surrounded Satomi Hikari and Roaring Thunder...

The normal course of events should have been a battle between the three racehorse girls from the Xuanyuan team and the three racehorse girls from the Satomi team, but by the time Satomi Crown realized the tactical intentions of Hitoko and the others, it was already too late...

Satomi Hikari and Naruse Raido were immediately surrounded by the herd of horses. Seeing that the two were about to be devoured, Naruse Raido, who was always calm, quickly made a decision as brave as a warrior cutting off his own arm—rather than be trapped and die in the same place, it would be better to cut off his own arm now!

With a thunderous roar, he immediately shouted to Kozumi, "Kozumi-san, let's break out! I'll get you out of here! I'll hold off this crazy woman, the noblewoman!"

The thunderous tone was incredibly loyal; if this were in ancient times, it would at least warrant the title of a great general or the construction of a temple on the spot for offering incense.

"Waaah... Thunderous Sound, I will definitely work hard for you too!"

With gritted teeth, Satomi Hikari managed to break free from the noblewoman's attack while the thunderous roar subsided. He took a step forward and barely managed to squeeze out of the encirclement of Hitotsu Amber and Takanojo Junichi.

At this point, Spica's racehorse girls are down to just Northern Black Steed and Golden Ship, or to exaggerate a bit, just Northern Black Steed. Carousel 2's team is down to just Satomi Hikari and Satomi Crown. As for Regulus XIV, the Lady is held back by Thunderous Roar, so they are down to just two people...

After the team size was reduced from three to two, the track instantly felt like it had been cleared out, leaving a large empty space. After this round of strategic maneuvering, although most of the racehorse girls still had a trump card up their sleeves, the closer they got to the finish line, the fewer tactics they could employ...

Fourteen hundred meters have passed on the 2400-meter track. For the remaining 1000 meters, which is good for middle-distance races, it is still in the middle stage of the race. But for the racers who are used to running 3000 meters or even long-distance tracks of 3200 meters, this is the end of the race.

The first to break the balance of the game was the Northern Black Horse, which was already fighting alone.

Chapter 166 Backstabbing a Teammate!

From the moment she lost speed after the attack, she was fighting alone. Whether facing Xuanyuan XIV's horse girl or Wucha Er's horse girl, she didn't have many chances of winning...

So why not take advantage of the fact that the two teams are still locked in a stalemate and push forward to escape all the way to the finish line!

"Haa ...

Golden and blue light shone from the Northern Black Steed. The Northern Black Steed's running posture, which had been somewhat distorted due to the strong wind, returned to its original starting position. Between lifting its feet and landing, it even became several beats faster!

[Straight-line recovery: Slightly recover stamina on the straight track.]

[I, Burn Again: This skill can be used by the escaped racer girl. In the later stages of the race, if she still has a lot of stamina, she can consume more stamina to further increase her speed.]

Once a racehorse girl has truly decided on her preferred running style, or even if she has never considered changing her running style... she can begin learning skills that can only be used by specializing in a particular running style.

The Northern Black Steed aspires to be the best of the best! To become a true, upright man!

Of course, a racehorse girl can't be a man... so Mitsuzu Satomi's dream became to become the coolest racehorse girl!

"Let's fight!"

The sudden acceleration of the Northern Black Horse instantly pulled a large gap between itself and the High-Class Junyi and Satomi Crown behind it.

Just as I realized that the Northern Black Horse had begun its final sprint, Satomi Hikari's venting shouts caught up from behind the two leading racehorses.

"Haaaaaaah!"

The footsteps of one racehorse girl—no, two racehorse girls—had already caught up with the two men...

The horse girl with a higher stride frequency is Hikari Satomi, while the horse girl with a slightly lower stride frequency but more powerful strides is Kohaku Hito!

When Satomi Kozumi runs on the track, he likes to make a lot of noise to further enhance his momentum, combining his inner and outer strength to create a powerful and fierce presence.

Even during the sprint phase, Hibiki Amber would be much more reserved... at most, she would only make a soft humming sound, quiet and deep, like a Guan Dao dragged on the ground, quiet, deep, and powerful.

When she was first assigned to be a Uma Musume (horse racer), Hitoko was reluctant to make a sound. She always felt strange listening to the sweet sounds coming from her mouth into her ear canals. Later, although she got used to her voice, she still felt uncomfortable seeing her social media accounts being frequently banned by the system for various reasons for being considered to be skirting the rules. She also saw her fans' comments like, "Just shout it out when you're excited! If you shout it out, we'll definitely give you a bonus (in Japanese yen)."

Hitotsu Amber dislikes shouting while running even more... She's genuinely afraid that her fans might do something strange or irrational.

The two lead racehorse girls and two runner racehorse girls from the Five Chariots and Two Chariots and Fourteenth Chariot collided again.

Having already tasted the sweetness of victory after defeating her own sister, Gao Shangjunyi almost instinctively prepared to change lanes to interfere with Satomi Hikari's sprint. However, before she could move, she was stopped by Satomi Kou: "Don't you want to check where the Northern Black Horses have gone! Don't fight amongst yourselves and cause everyone to be dragged down!"

At this moment, Kozumi Satomi had already visibly widened the gap between everyone by more than five horse lengths!

Ten horse lengths is a huge difference... In Central Tresson, there's an unwritten rule that if a racehorse girl is pulled out by ten horse lengths under any fair racing conditions, she has to write a self-criticism. For a racehorse girl, this is a worse result than losing the race.

Satomi Kōgan is absolutely right... Fighting each other now will only further slow down everyone's progress, resulting in no one being able to win and everyone falling far behind!

"So the highest winning strategy right now is for me to just run at full speed... and prevent the Satomi family's racehorse girls from backstabbing me, that should be it."

Gao Shangjun rationally analyzed the current situation, then quickly said to Fei Tu Hu Po behind him, "Hu Po... take care of my back. I'm going to try to catch up with Bei Bei Xuan Ju. Of course, I'll only do my best. Don't blame me if I lose. Right now, I'm worried about being betrayed..."

"Huh? You even found out I was planning to betray you? You're something else, Koto... Leave the rest to me! I'll win!"

A slightly surprised voice came from behind Gao Shangjunyi. At first, Gao Shangjunyi thought that Amber had misunderstood something and wanted to correct her: "The backstabbing I was talking about was the Satomi family... Eh, Amber-kun, what did you just say?"

Did Amber say something strange, like she was going to betray me? Aren't we teammates?

However, having already experienced a battle with Hitsukoha and personally witnessed the power of Hitsukoha's skills, Satomi Hikari understood Hitsukoha's intentions first.

Hitoko's skill can target up to three racer girls, so in order to unleash the full power of her skill, Hitoko will definitely wait until there are three racer girls around before using it...

And now, Satomi Hikari, Satomi Crown, and Takasho Junyi... there are exactly three of them. If they are tied together, they can be used as sacrifices to summon the three Egyptian Gods!

In team competitions, betraying teammates is an unavoidable part of the game!

"Sister Crown! Scatter quickly..."

But Satomi Hikari was a beat too slow. Hishiko Amber's aura suddenly exploded, and a red light instantly enveloped the three horse girls.

【Majestic and Powerful: When other racehorse girls are within a three-meter radius, the skill will reduce all attributes of those racehorse girls and increase all attributes of the user. The skill effect will slightly increase for each racehorse girl present, up to a maximum of three.】

"The speed of the Northern Black Steed is just too fast... Everyone underestimated this little dark horse. If we don't absorb more attributes, no one can win... So Little Hat, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"I won't forgive you, Fei Tu, until we have three hot pot meals! I want the best corner in the activity room too!"

"OK, I'll treat you to five meals!"

"make a deal!"

Satomi Hikaru's face was full of resentment: "What about me?!"

"You're not on our team..."

The three horse girls around her suddenly slowed down, and then the crimson light returned to Hitsukomo, slowly solidifying as if it had coated Hitsukomo with a layer of armor...

Then, the speed of the Scarlet Amber suddenly increased, and everyone could almost hear the "clanging" sound of the arrow leaving the bowstring.

Chapter 167 Launching a Magnificent Counterattack Against the Young Lady! (Bounty 17)

"Wow... This is so cool. It's like this now. If she were to master her unique skills or domain, she would be terrifying."

Hitoko Amber seemed to still hear the voice of the young lady, Satomi Takashi... but she quickly forgot about it.

After borrowing a wave of attributes, I am now terrifyingly strong!

[It's activated! Hibiko's skill that allowed her to take on three opponents has been activated! Her speed and power have instantly increased dramatically! She truly is a racehorse girl who gets stronger when facing stronger opponents...]

[The Black Steed in the north is still moving very fast... but it seems to be getting closer and closer by the Scarlet Amber!]

Scarlet Amber's sexy and elegant figure moved at an astonishing speed, and it was even getting faster.

Within a few breaths, the Northern Black Steed had already caught a glimpse of Crimson in his peripheral vision.

Even with his high fighting spirit and the fact that his powerful strike had absorbed most of the restraining skills, Northern Black Steed was no longer able to widen the distance between himself and Scarlet Amber!

Like a close friend, Kita Genko started its engine and shouted encouragement to itself.

But it had little effect; the Crimson Queen, with her unparalleled beauty, had already run to her side, her breath mingling with soft, sweet moans…

In the midst of the unwilling, conflicted, and embarrassed gaze of the Northern Black Horse, he instantly surpassed it.

[Hibi Amber has surpassed its predecessor! Northern Black Steed is giving it its all to catch up! The cheers of Northern Black Steed can be heard even from the stands!]

But it was no use! The gap widened further! The finish line was now within reach!

Amidst the gazes of thousands of trainers and female racehorses in the stands, the crimson-haired horse girl continued her gallop.

Whether it's the female racehorses or the mostly male trainers, they all subconsciously marvel at the brilliance and beauty in their hearts.

And Kotobuki Toru is truly despicable.

Finally, Scarlet Amber reached the finish line.

Young ladies, noble families from horse racing girl families...

On the field, I, a country bumpkin, won!

Scarlet Amber took the final step before the finish line.

Amidst Dali Arab's incredibly excited commentary, Scarlet Amber, representing Xuanyuan 14, won this Capricorn tournament.

[The new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach! The veteran powerhouse witnessed today's team victory!]

Amid cheers and applause from the audience, Hibiki Amber slowly stood in the center of the arena... her mind filled with countless thoughts.

It seems that Senior Sister Super Creek once said that if her team wins the Capricorn Tournament, she must help promote the Student Union's Service Department.

Or should I thank my teammates for their selfless dedication first?

Or……

[I have defeated more than 10 racehorse girls with the "Young Lady" tag. I have learned the skill "Launching a Gorgeous Counterattack Against the Young Lady".]

[Launching a magnificent counterattack against the young lady - When there is an opponent with the "young lady" attribute on the field, the momentum is slightly increased, and the temperament is moderately improved.]

Fei Tu Hu Po was stunned. Had she... mastered a new skill again?

But this skill is described... it sounds like you're just jealous of the rich? What does it mean to "launch a counterattack against the young ladies"? And it only targets horse girls with the "young lady" attribute.

Am I really that petty?

Let's look at the skill effects... When the young lady is around, she can slightly increase her aura. Aura is easy to understand. The fighting spirit of the racehorse girls and their motivation when sprinting and chasing all come from aura. It seems that the auras of the racehorse girls can also cancel each other out or affect other racehorse girls.

However, Hitoko Amber had only heard that it could be used in this way and had never actually used it on other horse girls. In any case, aura must be a good thing. Although it is not written in the attributes of racehorse girls, the more outstanding the racehorse girl is, the more frequently she talks about aura.

As for temperament... that's a bit hard to understand about Scarlet Amber...

Temperament is probably used to describe a person's behavior, demeanor, and speech, right?

For example, to describe someone as having a dashing demeanor and extraordinary temperament, one might say in a derogatory sense that someone is vulgar, crude, or foolish.

But temperament has absolutely no bearing on competitive ability, right?

Of course, I really haven't received any etiquette training, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I have poor temperament.

After all, when using a stemmed glass, one holds it by the bowl, not like a noblewoman who elegantly holds the slender stem between two fingers...

Could it be that even the gods can't stand it anymore?

Thinking about this, Fei Tu Hu Po began to feel conflicted.

"Hey, fat rabbit, you won the game, why are you still looking so glum?"

But at this moment, the noblewoman and the elegant Junyi had already walked over, their faces covered in sweat but also full of smiles.

The noblewoman should be happy that she can finally get out of the basement, while the noble Junyi should be happy that he can get five meals from Fei Tu Hu Po for free.

Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head: "I've mastered another skill."

This time, the unhappy expression was contagious, even affecting the noblewoman. "Hey... how come you've mastered another skill? No, it's only been a short time... do you know how long it takes for us to learn something from a book and practice? How come you've learned it on the field... and one after another? What skill is it this time?"
