Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

Yamato Akaki sat up and looked intently at the vodka in front of her.

Vodka absolutely cannot let himself miss such an important opportunity.

Vodka was already excellent, and with the help of Trainer Suiyuan, he will definitely become even better.

Am I really as good as Trainer Suiyuan said?

I really didn't feel it at all.

At this point, Yamato Akama was still in a state of self-doubt. If she had encountered a normal trainer, this situation would not have occurred.

An S-class (aedc) racehorse girl, this is no joke. Even a rookie trainer could run G-class races.

What made that arrogant rookie trainer think that a G2 victory would be easy?

Does she really not know how many female racehorses struggle their entire lives in local races but never qualify for G-level races?

Vodka raised his fist. "I know you're not quite ready yet. Let's take it slow, like the trainer said!"

You will come back someday!

Yamato Akama turned his head away. "Hmph... Hmph! Of course, you can't lose before I get back."

She also extended her small, white fist, and the two fists touched. "Don't worry, I won't lose until you come back, absolutely!"

…………

Which is more troublesome, physical injuries or emotional injuries? If Suiyuan had to choose, he would definitely choose the emotional ones without hesitation.

There are only two outcomes to physical injuries: either they heal successfully and the player returns to the field.

Another possibility is that treatment fails, leading to retirement.

But emotional wounds are different; they are in a state that is difficult to define.

You might say she can't run, but she can still run; both her stats and her condition are pretty good.

However, once the competition officially begins, they can't even show half of what they've practiced.

If it can't be shown, it can't be shown. That's not the most troublesome thing. What's the most troublesome thing?

The most troublesome thing is that once she loses a match, she will doubt herself again, wondering if she is really not suitable for this arena or for the competition.

The next time we compete, we'll have less to show and it will be more complicated.

This directly creates a vicious cycle.

This is the current situation of Yamato Akama, Suiyuan looked at Yamato Akama's panel.

My mood has returned to normal, which is great and proves that my idea was correct.

However, I still have doubts about my status. Next up is the aptitude panel for Yamato Akama.

Name: Yamato Akiji

Site suitability:

Grassland suitability: B+

Mud suitability: F+

Distance suitability:

Short distance: F-

Mile: A

Mid-range: A-

Long distance: C+

Running style suitability:

Escape position: A

Priority position: A

Difference in horse position: G

Chasing position: G

It's normal for a racehorse girl's aptitude to change depending on the trainer's training and her own condition.

Yeah, it's perfectly normal for mud suitability to be F+, right... my foot!

"Red Steed, that guy had you train in mud?"

Suiyuan's expression was really unusual.

How could she possibly train a pure turf racehorse on mud? What was she thinking? And she even got F+ rating for it!

It must have taken a lot of time to raise the Muddy Ground attribute of the Grass Racer Girl to such a high level.

And then, it didn't work at all!

It really doesn't work at all!

You need at least D+ to run a race, right? You're joking to give me F+?

Wow, really wow!

Compared to you, even Gunafus is a complete clown! (Gunafus, the Stinger trainer, the one who runs the sewing machine.)

Yamato Akachi nodded. "I feel... I might not be suited for mud. No matter how hard I try, I can't run fast on mud..."

Suiyuan placed his hands on Yamato Akaki's shoulders, "Don't say it with a doubtful tone, you're just not suited for mud."

That girl's an idiot, ignore her, just do as I say.

Suiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, I made a special trip to check on you, otherwise this rough gem of yours would have been ruined!"

Standing next to Suiyuan, Yamato Akaki's face was flushed. "A rough gem, you're talking about me!"

Next is the vodka's attribute panel.

What's rather strange is that Vodka's mood was also ordinary, but his condition was not bad, and it was slowly improving.

Vodka's aptitude also made Suiyuan frown. To be able to achieve first place in G1 in that kind of team, Vodka... you really have a tough job!

(Thank you so much, Xiao Kejun, for the generous donation!)

455. Vodka, excellent!

Name: Vodka

Site suitability:

Grassland: A

Muddy ground: F-

Distance suitability:

Short distance: E+

Miles: A-

Mid-range: A-

Long distance: G+

Running style suitability:

Escape position: C

Priority position: B-

Difference in horse position: B

Chasing position: G+

This number really made Suiyuan's mouth twitch. What is this?!

Muddy ground, muddy ground again!

Why are you training on mud again? How much do you like mud? You don't train for mid-range or medium-distance distances.

If you don't train the lead and second position in running, you can easily achieve very good results by training these four aptitudes.

You refuse to train, and insist on training on mud!

Vodka isn't some mud-track racer at all, nor is she like Urara, obsessed with any particular race.

Vodka's goal is simply to win the game, isn't it?

Since the goal is already so clear, why bother with all those fancy things?

Suiyuan looked at the paper report in his hand and said, "Okay, I have confirmed the current physical condition of the two of you. I will write out the training plan for the two of you at noon."

"Of course, Yamato Akama, you shouldn't train for now. The most important thing for you right now is to get some rest and not overwork yourself."

Suiyuan patted Yamato Akaki's head. He often did this kind of affectionate gesture before, so he wasn't too unfamiliar with Yamato Akaki.

"Okay...okay..."

Yamato Akaki lowered his head shyly. Before this, Toshiyuki had indeed had many intimate little gestures with her, but alas!

But before this, Toshiyuki had not revealed his relationship with Uma Musume!

If Yamato Akachi could be seen as an excellent trainer in the past, now... it's hard to go back to that impression.

The way Yamato Akamai is looking at Toshiboru now is more like...

Super Little Bay watched Yamato Akaki with a smile from not far away. Yes, that's right.

That's it. If you want to turn friendship into love, the first step is to change the other person's mindset. It only works if the other person sees you as a romantic partner.

If the other person only treats you as a friend, then there will be no progress in your romantic relationship.

It seems like things are going quite smoothly now.

"Trainer, don't we need to train on mud?"

At noon, Vodka looked at his training plan with curiosity.

Suiyuan looked puzzled. "Training on mud? Why train on mud? Your mud aptitude shouldn't be that strong, right?"

Vodka also looked puzzled. "Ah, but Inoue Tsukiko, the trainer, told us that every racehorse girl needs to train on mud tracks, right?"

"what?"

Suiyuan had a completely bewildered expression. Who taught him that?

Who taught racehorse girls that they have to do mud training?

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to Toshiyuki: Is it possible that Inoue Tsukiko didn't actually like muddy grounds, but rather that she misunderstood a lesson or believed something a senior had said?

Suiyuan guessed pretty accurately; the professor at the time said, "Every racehorse girl needs to be tested on mud, so that we can better discover her potential."

Inoue Tsukiko was feeling drowsy because the previous classes had been so boring.

She misheard it as, "Every racehorse needs to be trained on dirt so that its potential can be better realized."

She did study later, and she did have doubts about that statement, but the person in question was a professor, and still is a very famous professor in the field.

There haven't been any concrete examples of people being proven to be misleading others.

Therefore, Inoue Tsukiko added mud training to the training curriculum.

Then, Yamato Akashi won G2, and Vodka won G1.

0 ····Requesting flowers··· ··

The horse racing girls, who had initially had some doubts, stopped saying anything after seeing Vodka and Yamato Akama's achievements.

They had no idea that Vodka and Yamato Akama's success was entirely due to their own exceptional talent.

Suiyuan took a deep breath. "Okay, just listen to me. Letting the grass racehorse train on the mud track is just brain-dead!"

Your achievements are entirely due to your exceptional talent!

When Vodka heard Suiyuan say that, he scratched his head and laughed shyly, "Hehe, I'm embarrassed by your praise, trainer."

.... ..... ...

Suiyuan's expression remained very serious. "I'm not joking. If you weren't so outstanding, Vodka, you would have been ruined long ago!"
