Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

If Uma Musume Pretty Derby were a game, the special effects would be like pulling an SSR card from a gacha pull...

Two terrifying racehorse girls galloped out from the dazzling gates. At the same time, the words "[Full concentration (legend): significantly reduces the starting time of the racehorse girls]" were projected onto the terrifying footprints left by the two girls. Finally, as time passed and the racehorse girls moved away, they gradually merged into the grass.

"Whoa! The rag absorbs it! (Sparkling)"

"What is that? A projection? Are all skill effects this beautiful? Then what was that ordinary glowing I had on the track before?"

"So cool! Senior Sister Oguri Hat is indeed a stunning beauty..."

In the stands, the loudest cheers came from the incredibly excited female horse racers. One of the country horse racers, seeing such a spectacle for the first time, almost fainted.

The trainers were also beaming with excitement. Although everyone knew these were special effects, sometimes adding special effects to a competition really does create a thrilling and exciting feeling.

After all, humans only have so many senses, and it is said that the more senses one engages, the deeper one's memory and impression of something will become.

This is also why Central Treisen requires the racehorse girls to read all the material they're learning aloud before class in the morning... and incidentally, to prevent them from falling asleep at their desks.

And that's not all. Normally, when racehorse girls run on the track, you can only see the afterimages left by the racehorse girls' fast arm swings and strides.

But with the enhancement of this virtual reality... blurry afterimages were even left behind Little Chestnut Hat and Super Creek.

"Wow..."

"This trailing shadow can also help viewers better judge the speed of the horse girls; the longer the trailing shadow, the faster the horse girls are..."

Fei Tu Hu Po also instinctively took a deep breath. The special effects on the track were indeed very cool, truly a crystallization of modern technology. "If I could race on a track like this... even if I died, it would be worth it... well, I'm just saying that."

“Once you're on the G1 level, you'll be using this system too.” Kotobuki Toru stood next to Hitoko Amber, holding onto the railing with both hands. “Actually, it won't be long.”

On the racetrack, all sorts of skills are frequently displayed; top-tier racehorse girls truly have no shortage of hidden tricks up their sleeves.

When turning, ripples of blue water appear underfoot, then seep into Super Stream's legs like sweet rain, making Super Stream look like a goddess gracefully turning the corner. Recovery skill [Arc Master (Legendary): Restores stamina when turning and reduces stamina consumption when turning].

Or perhaps it's like Oguri Hat, radiating golden light, as if her entire body is plated in gold, with gold leaf swirling around her, making her appear to have entered a state of perfect stillness and clarity—a cornering skill that enhances acceleration [Curve Sommelier (Legendary), elegant cornering, increased acceleration].

The skills unleashed by the two racehorse girls when cornering are significantly different in both effect and special effects... Such special effects are unimaginable in ordinary small places.

The two top-class racehorses truly created a tense atmosphere... It's a classic case of "for every clever plan you have, there's a countermeasure."

Finally, with 200 meters to go, Oguri Hat let out a soft shout.

"Little Creek, I've won this ranking match!"

A truly rainbow-like light shone from the little chestnut hat.

【Victory Motivation (Oguri Hat's Unique Skill): Greatly increases acceleration in the last 200 meters of the track, making it easier to overtake】

Then, Little Chestnut Hat sprinted towards the finish line. Behind her, the grass was projected with a cracking effect, as if some monster had crushed the track, splitting mountains and cleaving rocks, dominating the world.

The sound effects of earth and rocks collapsing were incessant.

Above the finish line, a golden name appeared—Oguri Hat.

Chapter 171 Have you considered an expedition? Yes! Have you considered marriage? Yes!

After the race, Hitoko sat on the sofa in the stadium lobby, still reeling from the dazzling lights of the racetrack. Thinking about the battle between the two top racehorse girls, she still felt a sense of unfinished business.

"What a pity... We only saw Oguri-senpai's signature skill, and the competition ended before we even got to see Koike-senpai's skill..."

"Xiaoxi-senpai is a racehorse girl who specializes in long-distance running. Most racehorse girls' skills are useless in the middle distance... This time, Oguri-senpai took advantage of the track advantage."

Although Gao Shangjunyi had previously appeared to be a socially awkward person who didn't want to come, it was clear that she had done a lot of research on her way here, even compiling the rankings of the student council vice presidents.

"The current ranking of the three student council presidents is as follows: Senior Sister Great Shock has the highest score, followed by Senior Sister Little Chestnut Hat, and then Senior Sister Little Creek... Amber, your overall strength is the lowest."

Fei Tu Hu Po pouted, "The position in the student council secretariat is something that people risk their lives for... I haven't even met Godolphin Arabia's AI yet, how can I be happier than I am now?"

My daily work in the Life Integration Department is to help everyone out with their labor and, incidentally, to act as a temporary worker when some departments are short-staffed. The most troublesome thing for me is forcing myself not to fall asleep when the girls in the Painting Department use me as a model. My main goal is to relax my brain.

"But I still really want you, Fei Tu, to come and help out in the student council secretariat."

Oguri's somewhat aloof voice came from behind Hitotsu Amber, growing closer as he spoke: "I cherish Hitotsu dearly. Hitotsu possesses exceptional physical abilities and is truly a rare talent in the world..."

"Hehehe~ So she's already one of our Integrated Lifestyle Department members." Super Creek said with a hint of smugness in her tone, "Who told you, Little Chestnut Hat, to stay away for so long?"

Fei Tu Hu Po turned around and stood up, waving to the two senior students: "Seniors, tonight's competition was truly magnificent! Absolutely amazing!"

Compared to the filtered broadcasts of the match, seeing Oguri Hat in person after almost three months apart made Hito Kohaku even more certain that Oguri Hat had gained some weight and looked much better overall!

Hibiki Amber spoke her mind, emphasizing loyalty and righteousness: "Senior Little Chestnut Hat, it's been so long, you look even prettier..."

"Have it?"

"Yes, my skin is much smoother, and my face is rosier... My eyes, I don't know much about eyes, but they seem more expressive!"

Hitoko Amber was at a loss for words, but the little chestnut hat in front of her was really a completely different person from the one in Hokkaido. The little chestnut hat before was the kind that had obviously been battered by the cold wind, with a face that had the unique vicissitudes of Hokkaido, and it was clear that it was full of stories and emotions.

Super Creek wholeheartedly agreed with Hitotsu Amber's point of view, nodding her head repeatedly: "See, I told you I wasn't the only one who thought so, right? Little Chestnut Hat, you... really have become more beautiful, oh no, more womanly."

Then, right before everyone's eyes, Oguri's cheeks turned bright red at a visible speed. Although her expression remained unchanged, everyone knew that she was definitely shy!

"I... I just went on vacation with my trainer for two months, I didn't do anything else!"

Everyone was already making wild guesses, but now that Oguri Hat has said it so nervously, it's not just a clarification, it's solid evidence.

This definitely means they went out with their trainer to do something they couldn't do at school!

For example, going out to sit facing each other and drink, or, after drinking too much, feeling each other's heartbeats...

Hitotsu Amber has a richer background in the lower classes than the average horse girl. In addition, after joining the Treson Service Club, she even took another course – occasionally using her phone to study forbidden knowledge in the quiet of the night.

So, the fact that Oguri Hat hasn't been in Teresa for the past two months definitely means he's been out "cheating"!

Then, recalling what Oguri Hat had said before—that her favorite trainer had just been admitted to Central Treson last year—Hitoa Amber basically understood.

"I don't have much (congratulations)! Senior Little Chestnut Hat, you're a true winner in life! You're successful in your career, and you even have a boyfriend."

Little Chestnut Hat couldn't hold back any longer and quickly ran to Hitotsu Amber's side, covering Hitotsu Amber's mouth with his hand, completely abandoning his senior demeanor.

"Stop guessing, stop guessing..."

Oguri's eyes were practically turning into dizzy, mosquito-coil-like eyes, so he could only grab Hitotsu Amber's shoulders and try to change the subject: "Trainer... yes, trainer... congratulations Amber, you and Kotobuki trainer have joined Central Treson. I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

"But you already notified me via text message the day Tou Tou joined the company, including saying you'd treat us to dinner and stuff..."

"Huh? Is that so..." Oguri Hat hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask, "So, what are your plans next?"

"There's a G2-level Yayoi Prize in March, and then it's time to prepare for the Satsuki Prize in April."

The lady, mimicking the tone of the girl in the chestnut hat, continued, "And then?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, then it'll be either the Japanese Derby or the Oaks Tournament in May to win my second title! Then there will be a few months of off-season to relax and take a break, until October when I can challenge for my final third title!"

Fei Tu Hu Po confidently revealed all of her upcoming match schedule in one go, exclaiming, "How about that? Impressive, right?"

Everyone thinks there's hope for Scarlet Amber, but that's all there is to it.

After all, everyone has heard this kind of ambition countless times. The racehorse girl's wish for a triple crown is like a seven or eight-year-old child wishing to be a scientist or an astronaut on their birthday... In the end, only one in a hundred can achieve this goal.

"What about next year?"

"Next year... I'll aim for the bonus and try to find a way to never have to worry about money again!"

"Have you considered participating in the Saudi Cup?"

"Have."

"What about the Arc de Triomphe award?"

"Yes, I heard TouTou mention it."

"Have you considered holding a concert at the Budokan or Tokyo Dome or something?"

"without!"

Seeing that Fei Tu Hu Po was answering more and more fluently and smoothly, the noblewoman revealed a wicked smile.

"What about marriage?"

"Yes! I haven't discussed it with TouTou yet..."

Despite her slow-thinking nature, Hitotsu Amber was ultimately caught in the trap of the noblewoman persona and blurted out something truly outrageous...

Seeing the meaningful looks from the racehorse girls around her, Hitotsu Amber quickly waved her hand to indicate that what she had just said didn't count.

"That was a slip of the tongue! A slip of the tongue!"

"I believe you, what about you?"

"We believe it too!"

Everyone looked at Fei Tu Hu Po with smiles on their faces.

Believe what? Of course, believe that Fei Tu Hu Po really did have thoughts of marriage.

Commonly known as the stirrings of spring fever.

Chapter 172 The Almighty Teacher, the Almighty Venus

Two days later, Xuanyuan 14, led by Fei Tu Hu Po, won in the team activity room... or rather, the large villa.

The activity room was enormous. If Treson hadn't forbade everyone from bringing their beds into the activity room, Amber would have loved to move into this huge house, a place she'd never experienced before, and experience what it was like to be rich.

Of course, just spending the day here is enough to make one happy.

If you were to ask what makes this villa different from the one Fei Tu Hu Po saw online, it would probably be that in the very center of the hall is a large, circular performance stage. It's not very tall, so anyone standing on it would appear approachable. Above the stage is a large area of ​​seamless glass, bright and clean. The reflections of the potted plants on the roof in the sunlight create a relaxing feeling. The sunlight falling on the stage makes it impossible not to linger your gaze. With light, it's beautiful.

As for the basement from before... it's still the activity room for Team Xuanyuan Fourteen. We can go back there anytime. After all, this villa activity room was "won" by everyone. If we can win this match, we can win it back in the matches to come...

But if we can keep winning, then there's no problem.

Kotobuki, sitting lazily in her wicker chair, stretched and basked in the afternoon sun, sighing, "They've already started preparing for the G1 level competition? It feels like just yesterday that Amber won the Capricorn Tournament so adorably..."

"But that really was the day before yesterday."

"That seems to be true... I've been to so many places these past few days that I've mixed up the dates."

"Thank you, teacher, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to see me!"

Hibiki Amber sat on the stage, her long crimson hair shimmering in the sunlight. Her hands were clasped together, like a praying saint: "Almighty teacher! Since you entered the Central Tereson Campus so easily, could you please help me too?!"

Hitotsu Kohaku didn't know why even Kotobuki Toru, who had a trainer's license, couldn't get into Central Treson, while her own incredibly powerful teacher could enter without any hindrance.

She had originally arranged to meet the teacher at a coffee shop in the shopping street, but unexpectedly, the teacher just walked in looking so fresh and beautiful!

But this is good, it makes the teacher seem even more omnipotent!

The teacher, who also enjoyed a lively atmosphere, raised her somewhat unsightly eyebrows and asked with a smile, "So, Little Amber, what kind of help do you want from me?"

"Actually, my dancing skills are terrible! I've even recently ended up sitting at the same table as the middle school's Uma Musume! Every time I have a dance class and see the ladies, I have to call her 'senior' like the other students."

Since Hitoko Amber successfully passed the placement exam at Central Tereson last December and was assigned to the higher division, her second academic life has officially begun.

Fortunately, because the horse girls have a clear career plan, they mainly focus their energy on daily training and racing, so their academic pressure is not too great... Even a nobody like Hitoko Amber can keep up easily. In some subjects, such as social studies and Chinese writing, Hitoko Amber can even be far ahead because she has several more years of life experience than everyone else.

However, these were just basic subjects that could be learned while sitting in a classroom. When Hitoko sat in the idol training class classroom, she almost fainted.

I can't keep up, I can't keep up at all...

Even after working myself to the bone, I can only manage to sing a song barely after listening to it a few times. But the outstanding idols at Central Teresa's, the Uma Musume (Horse Girls), have reached a level where they can come up with a melody on the spot and start singing immediately, given just a few lines of lyrics...

Under these circumstances, Hito Kohaku, who was clearly a high school student, was thrown back to the junior high school and put to idol training with those innocent and cute elementary school girls... Then she mingled among the junior girls, clapping and cheering for the senior girls, and even had to serve them tea and water.

Who could stand this?

I am a woman born between heaven and earth, how can I live a life of melancholy and subservience to others for long!

Being constantly overshadowed by others isn't a good thing, but now, in order to ensure that every racehorse girl can keep up with the pace, the Treson Dance Training Center teaches carefully and slowly, and each class proceeds step by step.

If you want to speed up your progress, you can't rely on the basic course at Central Tressen at all.

"So, I'd like to ask you, teacher, if you can help me see if there's any good solution..."

The teacher raised her not-so-pretty eyebrows slightly. "Hey, you sounded so serious on the phone. I thought you wanted me to buy the Tokyo Racecourse as a training ground to prepare for the upcoming Japanese derby."

"Huh... buy the Tokyo Racecourse? Is that even possible?"

"We'll have to grit our teeth. After all, the Tokyo Racecourse is in a great location and the building is very sturdy. It won't be cheap to buy it."

But you didn't deny that you could even buy the Tokyo Racecourse, did you?
