Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

The match was not even halfway through, and both the black and white shooters were already panting heavily.

The relentless attacks had drained their strength. If they had successfully broken through, things would have been fine, but…

No, they still have the suppression skill of Rice Bath, so the two racehorse girls can basically declare that they have no chance of winning this race.

Entering the gentle slope, the race is officially halfway complete, so... it's time for the horse girl who's behind to start her attack.

Sure enough, just past the halfway point of the race, Sapphire overtook three female racehorses in succession and charged straight toward Miyu.

Suiyuan looked at the sapphire with some surprise. It was truly an amazing speed, especially considering that it was being suppressed by Miyu.

If it weren't for the rice bath's effect, she would probably be even faster.

As expected, Totsuki Academy should not be underestimated. Totsuki Academy... is a formidable enemy!

Wait a minute, I'm supposed to be an honorary trainer at Totsuki Academy, right?

That's all! 3.2

Sapphire's speed didn't decrease; she went straight from last place to fifth, with Mi Yu just ahead of her.

As long as I surpass Mi Yu and maintain this speed, it won't be long before I can escape her suppression range!

That's what she thought, but that's reality; not everything you think about can come true.

Mi Yu's speed also increased; she was definitely slower than Sapphire.

Even the sapphire, which was being suppressed, was faster than Mi Yu, and the gap between the two was constantly narrowing.

But the rate at which it shrinks is... just too slow!

It takes almost twenty seconds to shrink to the size of a horse. While accelerating, he is still within the range of Mi Yu's suppression, and every second consumes a lot of stamina.

slow down!

Without any hesitation, Sapphire slowed down immediately. If she continued like this, not only would she not be able to overtake, but she might also exhaust herself like the twins.

A flicker of amazement crossed Sui Yuan's eyes as he looked at the sapphire. How decisive!

Chapter 191 The Match Ends

Many female racehorses would struggle with this situation, wondering whether to press forward or retreat.

Sapphire is like a precise machine, always able to make the most rational decisions.

The best decision at this point is to retreat and wait until the final stages of the competition to decide the winner.

If you can't get rid of rice baths quickly, then in the end you'll only suffer.

If she hesitates for a long time, then the black and white archers who are struggling at the very back will serve as her role models.

Mi Yu glanced at the sapphire, and she did indeed feel the pressure.

She's a very good racehorse girl!

Sally clenched her little fists excitedly, and she also saw Suiyuan's somewhat surprised expression.

To be able to make Trainer Suiyuan look surprised, she truly deserves to be his most promising racehorse girl!

…………

As Mi Yu ran, she checked the situation behind her. She felt something was strange. Why... hadn't Golden City launched an attack?

She has faced off against Golden City in both friendly matches, making her an exceptionally talented racehorse girl.

They will never easily admit defeat.

They are also very strong. The race has already gone through 1,200 meters, and there are only 800 meters left.

She's still ahead of the black and white archers, moving slowly.

They seemed to have no intention of attacking at all.

…………

With the support of the rice bath suppressing the racehorses behind, Kitcho's strength, though not as great as before, can still barely keep up with the pace of the twin turbos in front.

"There are only 500 meters left in the race. Aurora's four racehorse girls have firmly occupied the top four positions. Will any of the racehorse girls launch an attack?!"

If we don't launch an attack soon, it will truly be too late!

The commentator said loudly.

Suiyuan stared intently at the arena from the stage, thinking, "It's coming."

He sensed something was wrong just now. Golden City excels at leading and trailing positions, but now Golden City's position is almost like that of a chasing position.

Her position was exactly where Mi Yu couldn't suppress her, so Mi Yu's tactics were completely ineffective against her.

Golden City isn't the kind of racehorse that would give up easily, so there's only one possible outcome.

That means she will launch an attack at the last moment. Even if it's not her who launches the attack, Sapphire is still eyeing Mi Yu covetously.

Why not target the elite?

Now the Noble Clan has pulled ahead of the second-place Twin Turbo by a full five horse lengths. It would be difficult for them to catch up with Twin Turbo, let alone the Noble Clan.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! After being silent all day, Golden City has stepped up! Its incredible speed is unstoppable! The racehorses in front can't stop Golden City at all!"

Hidden Sprint and Moon Slash couldn't stop her at all, and Golden Wave and Golden Spirit also directly made way for her!

Mi Yu was right in front of her, and Mi Yu sped up, unwilling to let Golden City overtake her so easily!

Sapphire caught up too, and its speed was also astonishing!

Sapphire and Golden City are now side by side, with Miyu overtaking Jizhao, who used superb skill to intercept the two racehorse girls behind him!

The commentator, who originally intended to maintain his calm and collected style, also became excited.

He stood up with the microphone in his hand, exuding a more imposing aura than his previous partner!

His partner's mouth dropped open. He never expected that his usually quiet and reserved colleague would make such an expression, his face as red as a boiled crab!

"The final 300 meters, it's time to show our mettle. Sapphire and Golden City have both broken through Ji Zhao's defense, but they've now fallen behind Mi Yu!"

In the final 300 meters, will Sapphire and Golden City catch up, or will Mi Yu hold onto her position?

…………

Ji Zhao looked at the rice bath in front of him and said, "It's up to you now."

As if sensing an auspicious omen, Mi Yu's already rapid pace increased even further!

Golden City gritted its teeth, as did Sapphire. "Golden City, take down that arrogant scoundrel on the other side!"

"Sapphire, if you win, I'll take you to stir up a hornet's nest!"

Needless to say, the owners of these two voices are Golden Fluctuation and Golden Spirit.

Sapphire's lips twitched slightly. Who wants to go and stir up a hornet's nest with you? But... I have received your will!

Sapphire's speed continued to increase, and it soon surpassed the golden city ahead.

This incident proves that even the most rational person will pick up a bit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) if they spend too much time with someone who has it.

And chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) often shines brightest in this situation, with Sapphire being the best example.

At this moment, Sapphire's performance data had surpassed all previous data, and the distance between her and Mi Yu was rapidly shrinking.

She pressed forward relentlessly despite the pressure from Mi Yu, who glanced at the ever-approaching sapphire.

Suddenly, the suffocating aura vanished. Before Sapphire could react, an even greater sense of oppression washed over it, almost causing Sapphire to lose her balance!

Mi Yu finally mastered the skill of single-target suppression before the start of the team competition.

Suiyuan revealed a smug expression. Hidden blades, right? Not only can you do it, I can too!

Sapphire staggered, and this 293rd blow sealed her fate, ending her chances of victory!

"Mimi crossed the finish line and successfully defended her position. The top three are all Aurora's racehorse girls. Aurora's racehorse girls have shown us what true strength is through this race!"

The narrator got so excited that he flipped the script off the table.

The rankings were also fully revealed after the white shooter crossed the finish line.

First Place: Aurora Clan +10

Second place: Aurora Twin Turbo +6

Third Place: Aurora Rice Bath +5

Fourth place: Emperor Penguin - Golden City +1

Fifth Place: Emperor Penguin Sapphire +1

Sixth place: Aurora Borealis +0

…………

12th Place: Venomous Sting White Archer +0

Upon seeing the rankings, Gunafos collapsed to the ground. It was too late; everything was over.

He is third place, which is beyond dispute; in fact, Stinger's name did not even appear in the top six.

Even if I wanted to cheat, I wouldn't have any reason left.

Without 20 million yen and without the twelve strongest racehorse girls, I'm really... finished!

(Not only did you lose your twelve top-tier racehorse girls, but you also had your base stolen by Kaguya Shinomiya. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll now be the legendary lone commander.)

Chapter 192 Victory Celebration Banquet (Part 1)

Aurora has more points than Emperor Penguin and Stinger combined, so it's undoubtedly number one.

Emperor penguins also came in second place. Twenty million is not a lot for a medium-sized team like Emperor penguins, but it is definitely not a small amount either.

Twenty million is enough for Emperor Penguin's expenses for about half a year. Not all teams are like Aurora, giving their racehorse girls the best of everything.

The Emperor Penguin team has been quite good to their racehorse girls.

For other teams, if they were to be a little more frugal, 20 million would be enough to last them for several years.

The race is over, which means the aurora borealis and the emperor penguins will soon be separated.

Although they had only known each other for three days, Sally was already very fond of Toshiyuki, who was incredibly talented and loved horse racing.

She couldn't help but feel a little sad as they were about to part ways.

…………

"Yesterday's was just a banquet, today's is the real victory celebration."

Suiyuan stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the scene in front of him.

With his help and that of several skilled horse racers, the food prepared had filled the middle of the stadium.

Even with Suiyuan's help, it still took almost a whole morning to prepare these things.

Little Chestnut Hat looked at the scene before him, his mouth practically watering.

She looked at Suiyuan beside her, and Suiyuan rubbed her head. "Go ahead and eat. This was originally prepared for you guys."

The horse girls, their mouths practically watering, didn't hold back and headed straight for their favorite food.

This time, it wasn't just Aurora and Emperor Penguins present; Stinger's racehorse girl also came along.

Some of these racehorse girls chose to join the Emperor Penguin directly, while others chose to go to Totsuki Academy with the Emperor Penguin first, and then make their choices after arriving at Totsuki Academy.

In short, there are not just one team of racehorse girls, but three teams of racehorse girls.

Therefore, Suibuchi has no worries about wasting food; everyone in Uma Musume is a big eater.

Oguri Hat is the biggest eater among big eaters.

"Thank you so much, Trainer Suiyuan. I'll transfer the cost of the ingredients and labor to you later."

Sally said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've already troubled them so much since I just arrived."

Suiyuan smiled and waved his hand, "No need, no need. I made a lot of money in this competition, and our Aurora racehorse girls also learned a lot from the competition with you. They are definitely more valuable than those ingredients."

Sally shook her head seriously. "No, one thing is one thing. Aurora's racehorse girls have learned a lot, and so have our Emperor Penguin's racehorse girls."

Therefore, you must…”

"Hey, there's no need to be so calculating between friends. Go and try my cooking. I'll take some to Alice."

Suiyuan pushed Sally to the dining table and then pressed her shoulder to make her sit down.
