Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Fei Tu Hu Po gained a completely new understanding of how extravagant her teacher was.

Kotobuki didn't seem to care what others thought of her at all. After thinking for a moment, she revealed a sly smile: "So, little Amber, you just want to find a teacher to help you with your studies, right?"

Seeing the mischievous smile on the face of the veteran band member, Ms. Fei Tu Hu Po shrank her shoulders: "Well, it's not really necessary to trouble you, Ms. Fei..."

"No, no, no, little amber, you've already come to me, how can I not help? In fact... I already have someone in mind."

"Then, then I'll thank you in advance, teacher..."

"Don't say thank you yet~"

Kotobuki clasped his hands together, his smile becoming even more meaningful. "However, the teachers and such... are all at a friend's company. Kotobuki, don't look at me like that. I said it's a friend's company, so it's a friend's company!"

"It just so happens that their company is also looking for a new horse racing girl spokesperson for the year. Why don't we take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and also negotiate your winning outfit with Amber?"

"Eh?"

In Hitotsu Kohaku's understanding, there aren't many companies with such strength that they can sponsor the final outfits for Uma Musume Girls and also provide training for idols...

Venus seems to be one of them, not only selling all kinds of horse racing girl products, but also cultivating its own idols and models.

Previously, when she used the Central Tereson school uniform voucher to redeem a school uniform, Hito Amber saw a teacher teaching the horse girl techniques for street advertising and close-up performances at the entrance.

Then, as if guessing, Amber asked, "Teacher, the company you're talking about... it's not Venus, is it?"

"Hey~ Little Amber's intuition is pretty accurate!"

-

Chapter 173 This high leg raise pose makes you an easy target for attackers!

Then, the teacher displayed the aura of a big boss, and in just two phone calls and a few words, she had already arranged a time with her friends.

One can only marvel at how much free time these big shots have.

The appointment was set for two days later, at the Venus store closest to Tresson and also the largest in all of Tokyo.

After hanging up the phone, the teacher clapped her hands and happily announced, "It's arranged! But before that, Little Amber, let me tell you... my friend has a very strange personality and very high expectations for her students, so she just asked me to check your level and give you a grade or something..."

Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head: "I wasn't joking just now, my skills are really bad."

"Hey, so are you the worst horse girl in Tresson's history?"

"That's not it!"

Hito Amber waved her hand with a grin, “There are other racehorse girls to compare with me. I heard that when Oguri Hat-senpai first joined Central Tereson, she was thrown directly into the elementary class and had to attend classes with horse girls who were at the elementary school level. There was also a senior named Special Week, who was similar and also started learning from the elementary class curriculum... Compared to them, I am considered to have some ability.”

However, on second thought, without Kotobuki Toru's advice and Ms. ?'s help, if I had come to Central Teresa all by myself, I might have done even worse than Oguri Hat and the others. It's not impossible that I would have been assigned to the preschool class, or even been dragged around by a bunch of immature ponies begging for milk...

Just imagining such a scene is terrifying.

So Hitotsu Kohaku immediately bowed to Kotobuki Toru and ?-sensei sitting next to her: "Thank you both... Without your help, I might really have become the most untrained horse girl on the Central side."

Qin Chuitou scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright, it's alright~ I'm enjoying it too." Kotobuki clapped her hands and cheered, "Little Amber is really grateful, that's a plus for me!"

"Bonus points... do you mean to assess my dance skills and add points to the evaluation?"

"No, no, that's a different score. The dance performance test still needs to be done." The teacher beckoned with her finger, pointing to the stage in the center of the activity room, looking every bit the judge: "Now, my eyes are the ruler! Let's start with the front leg lift!"

Even with the physical attributes of racehorse girls, they still need to undergo training. In fact, according to professional coaches, because racehorse girls usually use a relatively fixed running posture, their leg muscles become stiff, making them even less suitable for dancing...

Lifting the front leg is arguably one of the most basic leg movements in dancing. It can improve the flexibility of the hips and also improve the muscle distribution in the legs of Uma Musume (a popular Japanese dance enthusiast). It is arguably the most suitable training posture for Uma Musume to learn dance.

The basic requirement for lifting the front leg is to kick forward, raising the foot until the back of the thigh touches the lower abdomen, and the lower leg can kick in front of the face for the most standard movement.

But Hitotsu Amber blushed immediately and stood there frozen like a wooden statue...

"Hmm? Amber? What are you doing? You're going to get points deducted!"

Her own teacher immediately transformed into a ruthless judge, urging Fei Tu Hu Po to move her legs quickly.

But Hitotsu Amber felt as if she had been frozen in place. The gazes of the teacher and Kotobuki Toru made her feel a tingling sensation all over her body, as if small insects were crawling on her back and legs, comparable to severe torture.

Hitotsu Kohaku was able to sense through her keen perception that when Kotobuki Toru heard her teacher say "Let's start with a front leg lift," Kotobuki Toru sat up slightly, and her gaze became intense.

Even the way they looked in my direction changed from their usual confident and poised demeanor to something more furtive, as if they were trying to hide something obvious...

What kind of gaze is that?

Fei Tu Hu Po was a little confused and couldn't quite make sense of Qin Chui Tou's gaze for a moment, but instinctively she felt shy and realized that her whole body was sweating... her skin was covered in a strange, sticky feeling.

I'm going to die, ......

Why are you looking at me like that?!

Don't you know I'm usually very shy in class?

It must be admitted that one of the reasons why Hitoko Amber's learning efficiency in dance has been so poor since she enrolled is that the dance training movements are too embarrassing.

If it were the kind of simple home dance on short video platforms, where you just tilt your head and swing your arms, Fei Tu Hu Po could accept it. Unfortunately, professional dance is not like that. Professional dance has very high requirements for flexibility and coordination.

The teacher noticed Fei Tu Hu Po's unusual expression and immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Little Hu Po, judging from your expression, is something bothering you?"

Hitotsu Amber immediately followed her down the steps: "Of course there are difficulties... Teacher, don't you think this forward leg raise is very unsafe? It's full of openings, making it easy for someone to attack! What if someone rushes up with a weapon at this moment..."

"Pfft." The teacher immediately burst out laughing, unable to suppress her amusement as she frantically made excuses for herself: "You're dancing, not practicing martial arts... What bad guy would come up and attack you? Even if you want to fight back, you can just kick your leg down... Even if the other person is wearing a helmet, you can kick it to pieces!"

Hishiko's excuse was completely unfounded. Kotobuki waved her hand, signaling Hishiko to continue, "Little Kohiko, you're really just shy, aren't you? Don't let your imagination run wild. This is just simple dance training."

"No, no..."

Seeing that escape was out of the question, Fei Tu Hu Po could only use her strong will to suppress the shyness in her heart... but the price was that her originally bright eyes gradually became empty.

"Hey!"

Fei Tu Hu Po took off her shoes and stood on the stage, her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling. Then she lifted her leg up forcefully... constantly reciting the key points that the teachers had mentioned before.

Keep your back straight, elbows open, knees straight, and feet flexed. Then grab your calves and pull them forcefully towards your chest.

I don't know if it's because my muscles haven't been trained to the point of being beyond repair yet, and there's still some flexibility, or it's because of my bloodline and genetics.

Hitoko easily moved her legs in front of her, looking so relaxed that she could even move them further back, and it seemed like she could easily bend her whole body into a bow shape... However, Hitoko stopped her movements abruptly.

Standing on his right leg, maintaining the "golden rooster stands on one leg" posture, his thin lips pursed, as if he was waiting for the teacher to announce the end of the leg-lifting exercise.

But the teacher counted slowly and deliberately: "Five, six, seven..."

Before the teacher could even count to eight, Fei Tu Hu Po swayed from side to side twice and lost her balance, falling downwards.

"No! Oysters!"

"Ugh... your balance is terrible." Kotobuki sighed, "Hey, TouTou, are you aware of this as the trainer? TouTou..."

"what?"

"You little rascal, you weren't just staring at her legs, were you?"

Chapter 174 It's all the right foot's fault

"Huh? Haha, what are you saying..."

"Come on, you're staring straight ahead!"

“I was analyzing it seriously. You don’t know, but we trainers are supposed to be fully engaged in observing the female racehorses’ physical condition… It’s quite reasonable to get absorbed in our work without realizing it.”

Kotobuki scratched his head, looking at Hitoko Amber who was already slumped on the ground, unwilling to admit that he had been accidentally bewitched by the girl... But beauty is beauty, and humans are instinctively attracted to beautiful things.

He played the zither with complete confidence and self-assurance.

At this moment, the girl's beautiful face was full of grievance and embarrassment. Her lowered eyes made her look a little guilty. Such an expression would normally make people feel sorry for her, but then Fei Tu Hu Po secretly stuck out her pink little tongue... which made her look like a mischievous little fox, making people want to punch her hard and bully her.

Fei Tu Hu Po's figure is also extremely perfect. The slight sweat on her forehead evaporates into a wisp of smoke in the afternoon sun. Her legs are perfectly long, like those of a track and field athlete, as if she were born to gallop on the field. Her full and soft fat and muscles interpret what is meant by beauty and strength.

It is a pure and captivating beauty, unrelated to the soul, but only to the stunning beauty of the physical form.

Kotobuki Toru rubbed his face and silently scolded himself. When this fat rabbit sat on the ground without saying a word or moving, it was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.

Her beauty was so captivating that I forgot to eat.

Without realizing it, Kotobuki Toru has now begun to regard Hitoko Amber as a racehorse girl with a somewhat unique personality.

However, the teacher didn't have much free time to analyze the plumpness of the Hibari Amber; instead, she was still helplessly and earnestly reminding Hibari Amber of her earlier mistake:

"Little Amber, your balance is terrible... Dancing requires you to maintain your balance on one foot most of the time, and 10 seconds is considered passing. But you only stood for six or seven seconds before you couldn't stand up and fell down. That's really not good."

Hibiki Amber shook her head while sitting on the stage, then stood up again as if unwilling to admit defeat: "That was just an accident! It doesn't count! I'll do it again!"

As she spoke, Fei Tu Hu Po climbed up from the stage again, suppressing her shame and trying her best to keep a serious and earnest expression on her face.

This time, in order not to repeat the embarrassing scene from before, Hitoko Amber chose to stand on her left leg, with her calf and arch tightly tensed.

Raise your right leg high, kick your toes forward sharply, stretching it to its maximum, and smoothly transition into a forward leg lift position. The movement is fluid, natural, and completed in one go.

This time, everyone could immediately see the calm and composed feeling of Hitoko Amber... Just now, during the less than ten seconds she stood on her right foot, fine beads of sweat on Hitoko Amber's forehead were seeping out like popping beans.

Judging from his expression alone, he looks like he needs to go to the toilet and is about to burst.

But now, Hitotsu Amber looked much calmer, without any signs of pain from muscle stiffness. Her posture was steady, completely unlike the awkward state she had just been in, swaying from side to side and frantically trying to maintain her balance. She easily passed the ten-odd seconds of the teacher's countdown.

Setting her leg down, Fei Tu Hu Po exclaimed with delight, "How about it? How about it? I told you I could do it, didn't I?"

"Then stand on your right foot."

Five seconds later—

"Oyster!"

"Snapped."

Hitotsu Amber fell to her knees on the stage again.

The teacher cupped her face in her hands and began to look troubled: "It's alright, you can stand up on one foot, which means that your cerebellum is fully developed and there is no illness... but you can't stand on your right foot."

Now here's the problem: you can stand on your left foot, but not your right... In the workplace, teachers prefer to call this an attitude problem, and that's when criticism begins!

However, the teacher couldn't muster any desire to attack such a cute and beautiful girl as Hitoko, nor did he want to offend Hitoko.

Perfect timing! There's a trainer right next to us who specializes in training racehorse girls!

So, the teacher raised his elbow and, without any hesitation, slammed it hard against Qin Chuitou beside him, both to remind him to speak and to subtly signal to the idiot who was staring blankly into space to come to his senses.

"what."

Facing her younger brother, Kotobuki naturally didn't hold back, and one elbow strike almost pierced Kotobuki's elbow.

Kotobuki Toru rubbed his stomach, nodding slightly, "We do know the reason for this... and we're working on it, but it's not as fast as you think..."

So Kotobuki explained to the teacher again that Hitoko Kohaku might have post-traumatic stress, which was why she wasn't very good at using her right foot.

After listening, the teacher immediately showed a look of sympathy.

"Oh... I didn't expect Little Amber to have such a heartbreaking experience. At such a young age, she already has paranoia. But Little Amber is also amazing. Her imagination is so rich, and she describes the details so realistically."

"Well~ things are getting better now. Lately, I've been struggling with the XXL skill for right turns on tracks, so it's all become XL!"

Hitoko didn't explain much about herself. After so much time had passed, and with the help of corrective shoes and her own attempts to run on the right-turn track, Hitoko had personally experienced the power of her "inner demon." Therefore, Hitoko's strategy was to not take this matter to heart... let bygones be bygones.

"Your progress is a bit slow. I see there's the Derby and the Oaks Tournament, and the competition dates are only a few months away... By the time that day comes, will Little Amber be able to change her habits?"

"It's challenging." Kotobuki Toru didn't deny the problem. "However, as long as Hitoko can further improve her running style and reduce the impact of this skill, when the day comes to the competition, even if she hasn't completely overcome this skill, the remaining negative effects can be made up for by the attributes she has developed through regular training."

"I see..." Kotobuki nodded. "But now, little Amber, you'll have to learn to dance. When you're running, you can say you use your left foot less, but you can't do that when you're dancing! In a complete dance, the number of movements for both feet is about the same! But the good news is, the dance teacher doesn't have as many requirements for your right foot; as long as you can stand on one foot, that's fine!"

"But I can't stand up right now."

"If you can't stand, just stand longer... Find someone to help you and force you to train!" The teacher glanced at Kotobuki Toru, who was watching from the sidelines: "Toru, your racehorse girl, you go!"

Chapter 175 Training Suggestions for Playing the Koto

"If you can't stand, just stand longer... Find someone to help you and force you to train!" The teacher glanced at Kotobuki Toru, who was watching from the sidelines: "Toru, your racehorse girl, you go!"

Upon hearing Kotobuki's invitation, Kotobuki Toru quickly waved his hand in refusal, "Eh? Teacher! Master? You want me to go? I can't dance... How could I possibly know such a refined art?"

To everyone's surprise, the teacher slapped Qin Chuitou on the back and pushed him off the chair, saying, "You don't need to know anything... just help Fei Tu Hu Po catch her."

"I know... but is it inappropriate for me to come?"

Hitoko also had some concerns. First, she felt it was inappropriate to trouble Kotobuki Toru, and second, she still didn't want Kotobuki Toru to get too close to her.
