Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

After saying that, Suiyuan quickly left. Rudolf stared blankly in the direction Suiyuan left. "My angel... was he talking about me?"

It seems no one has ever described themselves as an angel.

Rudolf symbolically shook his head, banishing those strange thoughts from his mind.

Why think so much? Let's hurry up and deal with the marks on the trainer's face.

…………

"Question: Is this all the trainers you're offering today?"

Akikawa Yayoi looked at the training plan, which was less than a single sheet of paper in her hand.

Suiyuan nodded. "That's right, this is your training plan for today. All you need to do is keep your body in a state of readiness, and that's enough."

"Understood. So, should we train all at once, or gradually?"

Akikawa Yayoi looked at Suiyuan curiously.

Toshiyuki's expression turned strange. "Yayoi, do you think it's possible—maybe—that this piece of paper has two sides?"

Akikawa Yayoi turned the training plan around in a daze. The back detailed what kind of training would take place at what time.

boom!

Akikawa Yayoi blushed instantly. She had been quite happy, but even the meticulous trainer had made a careless mistake.

I might even get to see the trainer's awkward expression. It would have been such a great deal, but now it seems... I was just overthinking it.

Akikawa Yayoi just wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear; it was so embarrassing!

Toshiyuki smiled as he looked at Akikawa Yayoi. Yayoi was quite cute even like this, and besides... he would never be careless when it came to matters related to Uma Musume.

Not noting the training schedule's timing is a serious mistake that I would never make. I... Suiyuan, I am definitely not careless!

No, that's not quite accurate. To be more precise, I, Suiyuan, would never be careless about anything related to Uma Musume. That way, there's no problem!

Akikawa Yayoi had already gone to training when Maruzensky passed by Toshibuchi's side. Toshibuchi quickly called out to Maruzensky.

…………

"Oh, it's surprising that the trainer needs my help. If there's anything you need, feel free to ask me!"

Maruzenski hugged Suiyuan's arm with a big smile, and Suiyuan directly told her what he needed her help with.

We're already an old married couple, there's nothing to hide.

"I see. So, do you want me and the trainer to accompany the chairman to the competition tomorrow? No problem!"

Maruzensky readily agreed. Although there was Akikawa Yayoi standing there like a third wheel, being able to go out with his trainer was a very happy thing.

Let's not ask for too much!

"Then I'll have to trouble you. I always felt that having Maru Zensky as the driver for the Aurora was a bit of a waste of his talents."

Suiyuan held Maruzensky's hand.

Maruzenski smiled and winked at Toshiyuki, "Without you as my trainer, it would definitely be a waste of talent, but with you here, it's not a waste of talent."

After all, my level is far below yours. You, as a trainer, can become an Aurora trainer, so it's normal for me to be just a lowly driver, right?

Suiyuan grabbed Maruzensky's face and kissed him, saying, "Stop praising me, or I'll really get cocky."

Maruzenski also snuggled directly into Suiyuan's arms, saying, "Trainer should have gotten cocky a long time ago. Now Trainer has the ability to get cocky too."

"Come on, your trainer is still a nobody in the top 10,000s, what's with the attitude..."

But looking into Maruzensky's eyes, Toshiyuki couldn't bring himself to say anything more.

"Oh, then trainer, can you tell me how this nobody ranked ten thousand managed to crush the top ten teams?"

Under Maruzensky's gaze, Toshibuchi decisively chose to surrender, declaring, "I'm the best!"

…………

"Go early and come back early, trainer."

Super Little Bay smiled and said to Suiyuan.

Suiyuan nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible. I should be back by tomorrow."

Super Little Bay appeared before Akikawa Yayoi, saying, "Chairwoman, good luck in the competition!"

Akikawa Yayoi raised her head. "357 understands. I will give it my all in the match!"

Toshiyuki, standing to the side, tried his best to control his expression. That's right, Yayoi needs to go all out in the match.

After giving the three more instructions, Super Little Bay finally stood up.

"Have a safe trip, everyone."

…………

Super Little Bay was preparing to go back and rest. Although Suiyuan had said that she didn't need to see them off in the morning, she still felt she should see Suiyuan and the others off.

Super Little Bay suddenly stopped on her way back. For some reason, she had a strange feeling, as if she had forgotten something.

But what I forgot was something I couldn't quite put my finger on.

Super Little Bay rubbed his temples in frustration, wondering what he had forgotten.

I guess only Suiyuan can give me the answer to this.

…………

Suiyuan, Maruzensky, and Akikawa Yayoi all looked bewildered, while a serious-looking traffic inspector stood nearby. The golden ship in the trunk awkwardly greeted them.

"Good morning!"

No one present spoke, perhaps because they didn't know what to say.

The traffic patrolman came to Maruzensky's car and took a look; there were clearly still seats in the back.

He immediately pulled out his baton. "You, explain your relationship with her clearly, or I will take appropriate measures!"

Suiyuan and the others were really about to cry; they had only come to simply participate in a competition.

Suiyuan glanced at the beaming Golden Ship and said, "I was wondering why Golden Ship hadn't caused any trouble these past two days. Turns out, it's been holding back something big!"

"Explain quickly, this is your first warning!"

Suiyuan immediately pulled out his trainer certificate.

"The thing is..."

Chapter 282 Run, Yayoi!

"Are you ready?"

Toshiyuki helped Akikawa Yayoi take her final outfit.

Akikawa Yayoi accepted the winning outfit from Toshiyuki and gave him a confident smile.

"Of course! Don't worry, trainer, I will do my best to win this match!"

Suiyuan patted Akikawa Yayoi's head and said, "Just do your best and don't let others affect you."

Akikawa Yayoi nodded. In the past, she would have slapped Suiyuan's hand away and, like Shuangzhou, emphasized that he shouldn't treat her like a child.

This time, perhaps because she was a little nervous, she didn't tell Suiyuan not to touch her head.

Akikawa Yayoi took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

"Well then, I'm off, trainer."

Akikawa Yayoi carried her final outfit and walked toward the preparation room.

Maruzenski walked up to Toshibuchi's side. "Trainer, this match... it's going to be very difficult."

Suiyuan did not deny it, and nodded directly.

"That's right, this is an extremely difficult battle for Yayoi, but it's necessary. Whether she wins or loses, she has to go through it."

Maru Zenki grasped Toshiyuki's hand; she could sense that Toshiyuki was also very nervous.

"Trainer, let's go to the stands. Like you said, all we can do now is trust the chairman."

Suiyuan nodded slightly. "Okay, let's go."

(At this moment, the Golden Ship is preparing fried noodles)

…………

There is no exaggeration at all. Akikawa Yayoi only has a 30% chance of winning this race. Not only has Akikawa Yayoi never experienced a G-class race before, but her average stats are also lower than those of the other racers participating in this race.

The 30% win rate is due to the tactics I use. If I can gain an advantage in the early game, it's not like I have no chance of winning at all.

However, the win rate is really low, extremely low.

With insufficient experience, poor skills, and inferior data, how can the win rate possibly be high?

This is an objective analysis. From Suiyuan's subjective perspective...emm, my Saima Musume is the best in the world! No opponent can stand up to me when they encounter my Saima Musume!

Forget about powerful opponents and statistics; all I know is one thing: my racehorse is invincible and unparalleled. If she really loses... pshaw!

My baby can't possibly fail!

Suiyuan firmly believes that no matter what disadvantageous the situation, he will always believe that his racehorse girl will find a way to victory!

The race distance is 1,200 meters, which is not very long. This means that the runaway horses will compete with Akikawa Yayoi for positions from the very beginning.

Akikawa Yayoi's starting position this time is number six, which is a decent position. To win this match, she must secure the first position at the start.

Only by seizing the first position can one avoid a contest of strength. Once a contest of strength occurs, given Akikawa Yayoi's physical condition, defeat is inevitable.

I had already mentioned this to Yayoi Akikawa before, but the competition isn't something that can be accomplished just by talking about it.

It can only be said that we are trying our best to achieve the best possible outcome.

"We'll have to see how it goes from here, Yayoi's performance. Good luck!"

(At this point, the golden ship had already started selling fried noodles.)

…………

"All the female racehorses are now warmed up and have entered the starting gate, awaiting the referee's instructions!"

The commentator was a newcomer. Although he didn't make any mistakes, he was nowhere near as good as his seniors at engaging the audience emotionally.

The commentary wasn't engaging enough, so Suiyuan stopped paying attention and looked at the somewhat nervous Akikawa Yayoi.

This is bad. You need to relax a bit during the game. If you're too nervous, you might not be able to let loose, and that could have serious consequences.

This is serious for other Uma Musume (horse racers), but it's even more serious for Akikawa Yayoi.

If the timing of exiting the gate is not well grasped, then the result will be the same as the outcome mentioned before: failure.

Looking back at the cheering crowd, it seems that the venue issue will still have an impact on Akikawa Yayoi.

The best solution to this problem is to participate in more matches.

This issue cannot be resolved with words alone.

…………

Akikawa Yayoi felt her breathing become rapid, amidst the cheers of the crowd and the intense desire of the horse racers to win.

These emotions intertwined, making it hard for me to breathe.

At this moment, the referee raised his flag high. When the flag was lowered, the game would begin.

Akikawa Yayoi took the starting stance, but... she really didn't want to give up the victory to someone else. Her trainer had great faith in her, and her desire to win was absolutely no less than anyone else's!

So...

Bang! The flag fell, and the gate burst open!

Akikawa Yayoi rushed out immediately, so no matter who her opponent was or how strong her desire to win was, she would not give up victory so easily!

At this moment, Akikawa Yayoi completely forgot about any strategies or tactics.

All she could think of were the words that Sueyuu had left her: "Yayoi, remember this: if you want to win, you must gain an advantageous position at the start!"

Using too much stamina at the start might lead to a loss, but... if you don't use a lot of stamina to gain a favorable position, you're guaranteed to lose!

Rush!

Do you remember the training plan that Toshihiro made for Akikawa Yayoi back then?
