Stop being a trainer!

Kato Akira never thought of himself as a genius in business management, but what he knew was that since he believed in Uma Musume, he had to trust them completely.

So after preliminarily drafting the rules and regulations of the Desire Contest, Kato Akira transferred all power to the student union and the Uma Musume staff, asking them to start helping and infiltrating every aspect of Tresen College.

Except for the need for some adjustments and corrections at the beginning, the student council and the horse girl trainers handled a series of things very properly. Or rather, a little too properly. The various rules and constraints seemed very perfect. They were competitors with each other, but they extracted a rule that seemed the most formal.

The advantage of this is that, in addition to reporting to Junchuan Lisuo and Akikawa Yayoi every day, Kato Akira's only job is to collect and organize documents. With the participation of the student union and in-depth discussions, even this activity was gradually cancelled. Only the elements of normal exchange and communication remained. It was good news for him, but it was obviously not good news for the relevant personnel.

The fact that Kato Akira has time means that he can better negotiate with those who oppose it, and then continue to postpone their opinions and lawsuits, pushing the entire desire competition higher and higher.

The trainers didn't want this, and the janitors and some old guard didn't like it either.

As for the answers to these people, Kato Akira quickly gave the answer that belongs to human talent.

A solution that can be given.

If a trainer does not want his horse girl to compete, that is completely fine. The horse girl and the trainer need to complete three voluntary declarations within a week and formally submit them to Kato Akira, and have them notarized by the student union and the horse girl's trainer.

Sometimes the trainer's sweet talk can really shake the spirit of the horse girl, and even make her oppose the desire contest, so Kato made appropriate preparations early in the morning. The horse girl must agree in person, and then apply for formal approval again a week later. During this period, the neutrality must be checked by the student union and the horse girl's trainer.

If there are any misleading remarks and related violations of the principle of equality between trainers and horse girls in the night raid group 694936135, then I'm sorry, but the appeal is invalid.

The school workers' appeal was that it was too troublesome to deal with the daily running of these horse racing girls, and Kato Akira's answer was very simple. Here is a steamroller, and here is a grass-planting machine. Just drive them one by one at night to reduce the burden on humans.

As for the stadium becoming a so-called hard track high-speed stadium, since it is already being treated as a separate place from Europe and the United States, isn't it normal to start with the grass field? If you loosen the soil a little bit and let people go up to plant and lay it slowly, it will be very slow, so the URA Association has thoughtfully brought in a road roller and a grass planting machine. Can't it be replanted overnight?

The conservatives seem to be the most stubborn and impossible to persuade, but they are also the easiest to persuade. Because the UMA Association will not allow such a thing to happen. Most of the conservative backbones are senior officials in related industries, and they are now traveling abroad. Those in the local area are some more impulsive radicals, who will reject you in a few words, and there is no trouble at all. So in summary, except for the tense first week, Kato Akira was surprised to find that he seemed to have nothing to do.

No, or in theory he does have something going on now.

Because today is the first day of the Desire Contest, he can go to the scene to watch and comment.

However, Kato Akira is very clear that he is a bad chess player, so it is unnecessary for him to comment on Uma Musume's running. He just looks at who runs better and thinks who will win. He doesn't know the theory of why they can win.

"The trials for the Desire Contest are today..."

Looking at the date, Kato Akira felt that time was passing very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Fourteen days. A total of 1,200 teams. Nearly 100 teams compete every day. That's about 30 battles per day with 16 horse girls. About 30 to 20 teams will be selected and advance to the next round.

From this point of view, the Desire Tournament can be said to be a non-stop high-intensity league. Because the competition system is very tightly arranged, all the venues are connected, the degree of ground erosion, personnel changes, and venue changes are all very important random factors for Uma Musume.

That's why he chose this seemingly crude selection method. Because it's very likely that some strong teams will sink to the bottom for no apparent reason, so there are two ways to prepare. To ensure that the Desire Contest can be more exciting, or to make the horse girls have enough fighting spirit and willpower to keep the fire burning in their hearts for a longer time.

"...Let's go and have a look."

After all, that was Umamusume's run.

Kato Akira looked at the empty desk in front of him and finally decided to go to the competition venue.

But just as Kato Akira opened the door and prepared to go to the site for a tour, he found a man with messy brown hair and a short bun standing on his way.

"Trainer Nishizaki Ryu...?"

"Hey, don't make it sound so strange. In a sense, I am still on your side."

"That is to say, generally speaking, you are not on my side, right?"

"It's not a good idea to be quibbling at this time. I have a little confidence in you, senior. But you are right. I did come to talk to you."

Wearing a black vest with a yellow shirt inside, trainer Nishizaki Ryu held a lollipop in his mouth and waved at Kato Akira. The expression on his face gradually changed from cynical to serious.

"Let's go to the pub and have a good chat about the Desire Contest and the final results of our internal discussions among trainers. I know you have an opinion about the veteran trainers, but we are all in this industry, so we should listen to them, right?"

"Can we watch live broadcasts at the pub you mentioned?"

"of course can."

"your treat?"

"…It's my treat."

"Let's go then. There's nothing interesting to see in the training match anyway."

Looking at the trainer Nishizaki Ryu who seemed relieved, Kato Akira looked at him quietly and followed him with a calm expression.

Chapter 149: Preliminary Struggle: Sunday Tranquility VS Swindler (Second Update!)

At the same time, at the mud track race trials, a horse racing girl dressed in black and the blonde cowboy in front of her were looking at each other's number plates in bewilderment.

Today is the first day of the selection competition. Theoretically, this kind of audition is

It is rare to encounter some particularly powerful horse girls.

However, that doesn't mean there is absolutely no chance of encountering this.

My Descendants Team and Hope Team, as teams that also had some professional tasks and were a little anxious, joined the competition schedule as the first echelon. Theoretically, after the breakup, each horse girl would be ranked independently, but it just so happened that the two people from the two teams met each other.

The trickster, the American Shadow Triple Crown, the only challenger of Secretariat, a horse girl who gave her all in the arena and still has some remaining fighting spirit to eat and drink. Sunday Serenity, who was ostracized by the mainstream American horse girl society, chose to come to this country and became a trainer and formed a team purely for fun.

The two people did not have much social interaction in the United States, and they didn't even know each other very well, but when they looked at each other, a strange expression appeared on their faces.

"A sixteen-person mud race, anything can really happen. This is the first time I've seen a sixteen-person mud race in my life."

"This is the first time it has happened in this country. It's probably rare for people here too."

"But you seem pretty strong as a latecomer. Have you been exercising since you retired?"

"I guess my fighting spirit has not died down yet. Don't look at me like this. I still have some feelings for these little guys."

"It's similar here, but I was hired as a dog."

"Oh? Who hired you?"

"Do you think I look like someone who could betray my employer?"

The two American horse racing girls walked towards the track as if no one was watching, and entered the muddy track according to the names called.

In this environment, the preliminary round of the Desire Contest was not particularly sloppy, with only a few scattered people. There were still professional horse girls and trainers who gave instructions, and real human practitioners who recorded the data.

There are even a group of horse girls with dark circles under their eyes who are constantly debugging the immersive system on the field. They are testing the fully automatic rendering and AI filling of the immersive system and the three goddesses system at Tresen College. However, the running-in status is not very good at the moment, so the horse girls and human development team are on standby at any time.

And the number of spectators was actually quite large. Although it was not as loud as the G1 competition, nor as terrifying as the previous competitions, where the whole world seemed to be at war with each other, at this Desire Competition, all the horse girls could feel everyone's gaze. Those on the field, those not on the field, those training on the side, those scolding on the side, everyone's gaze could be felt.

It was a look filled with desire.

It is different from pure fighting spirit. It is a feeling that is more intense than fighting spirit, richer than nature, and purer than instinct.

It's desire. Everyone's fire of desire is burning. It may be for others, or it may be for oneself. Every horse girl has her own desire.

They have suppressed their desires, and they don't want to take shortcuts. They want to be a good girl, a good girl, but how can this be possible? As horse girls, they themselves know how strong their desires are.

Zhou Ningjing looked at everything around him and felt as if he was in a burning hell. Just by breathing, he could feel the sweet desire and fierce impact from the horse girl beside him, which was even more terrifying than fighting spirit. If he really had the mentality of playing casually, he might lose.

It was only the first round, it was only the first round, and the horse racing ladies whose desires were aroused could already feel a fierce sensation like needles pricking their whole bodies.

Why? Why is Uma Musume so full of desire? Why has Uma Musume become like this?

"Because, after all, that's what our nature and instincts are."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"You can tell just by looking at that face. After all, I have seen many humans corrupted by desire during my travels, and my expression was the same as yours."

Looking at the somewhat confused Sunday tranquility, the swindler at the nearby gate whispered, the expression on his face gradually beginning to dissolve and collapse.

"It's obviously impossible to use anesthetics or poison to harm Uma Musume. After all, if we want to have such things, we would probably have to eat a large bowl of them. But they still did it, even if there was a small chance that they would do it."

"Because it is a desire that is stronger than instinct and ordinary nature. Humans will do anything for desire and will become demons to hurt us. So our desire is so strong, what did we do? Nothing, because we are Uma Musume, we are elves, pure life, and everyone tells us so."

"But, that man's speech was really great. Really, really great. We are all individuals with desires. We want to eat, we want to sleep, we want to live better in this world. Most importantly, we want love. All the love and attention in this world will belong to us. That's why I would provoke an enemy I know I can't defeat, even if it means I'll be torn to pieces."

"Nature, seek good fortune and avoid harm, prolong life

This is the most fundamental nature of all living things. But why do we run so hard? Is it nature? No, not at all? If it is just pure nature, it can't do that."

"That person is right. Rather, this desire contest is the moment when we can truly show our pure selves. We are all monsters devoured by desire, and we even forget our own appearance. Now is the time for us to truly be horse girls. Come, run for each other's desires, and have a peaceful Sunday."

"..."

Looking at the liar's brilliant smile, Zhou Rijing looked at her, and then a strange smile gradually bloomed on her face.

"The first round of the 1,600-meter mud race is now ready—"

Listening to the sounds of preparation coming from afar, she smiled, bent down, and said softly:

"Then fight for lust, you liar."

'start!'

Chapter 150: Nishizaki Ryu's Doubt (Third Update!)

'boom! '

"What's your beer?"

"It's a ceremonial thing to do this, don't you understand?"

Looking at Kato Akira who had a look of disgust on his face, Nishizaki Ryu, who was sitting in the izakaya, opened a bottle of beer from the can he brought with him under the murderous gaze of the boss and poured it into the cup.

Nishizaki Ryu said that the boss here was his acquaintance, and Kato Akira felt that this statement was absolutely correct. Otherwise, he would not have been able to endure such humiliation and anger and continue to serve them all kinds of food and condiments.

The things sold in this izakaya are a bit mixed, and the presentation is also quite mixed. There is a long charcoal stove in front of each customer, and they can choose to let the boss grill or grill themselves. Kato Akira still prefers to have enough food and clothing, so he directly asked for some raw meat skewers and put them on the charcoal stove to grill. Nishizaki Ryu has already opened a bottle of beer and started drinking with the appetizers.

I can only say that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Who would have thought that a man who looks like an old man and should like to drink the kind of serious draft beer actually likes to drink beer that has been foamed in aluminum cans? Although Kato Akira looks even more weird and terrifying. Because he is tall and strong, his eyes are full of ambition, but he has never thought about having any special ambitions. Since he has already got more money than he can spend in this lifetime, Kato Akira is happy to explore the future of possibilities with others.

By the way, Akira Kato really never thought that the Japanese derby would have so many dividends and benefits.

"So? Who are you coming to me to speak for?"

Turning the roast on the fire, watching the meat gradually roasted into a golden color, Kato Akira sat in a chair and asked in a low voice:

"If it's something related to the Desire Contest, the current Desire Contest is no longer something I can promote alone. You should be very clear about this."

"Hahaha, why can't it be that I want to have a good relationship with you, so I specially invited you?"

"Because I think you are a cold person."

"Oh? That's a bit too much. When did I ever act so cold?"

"To put it simply, I think you won't be shaken by anything other than the people you care about and Uma Musume. A man who can observe Uma Musume's thighs and can't help but touch them, and who doesn't care if she kicks him, I don't think he will do anything particularly vulgar. You are a man who believes in the possibility of Uma Musume with all your heart."

“…You really flatter me. I don’t think my trust in Uma Musume is higher than yours. You have absolutely no reason at all, you just believe in her. I found a reason to believe in her.”

"You don't know my situation, that's why it happens."

Nonsense, you are not cheating.

After taking a look at the man who seemed to be in deep thought, Kato Akira, who was the protagonist of the original script, took a bite of the skewer.

Fate has given me equal parts day and night, and also given me a flight path. The Goldsmith and Deep Impact are both famous horses of the time, and the Emperor of the East China Sea is even a protagonist. If I don't trust them, there must be something wrong with my brain.

Of course, this kind of time traveler thing is still not to be mentioned. Although Uma Musume has many special and unique situations, humans - well, humans also have them. It's just that Kato Akira doesn't want to become famous in this aspect.

"I have my reasons for trusting them. It's not as unconditional as you think. I have my own opinions and my own understanding. Simply put, I think all of my horse girls are the 'strongest'. They will undoubtedly win in all competitions. There is no possibility of losing."

"What if your leader chooses to participate in the same competition? How do you choose the strongest among all of them?"

"Why are you using his own spear to attack his shield?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't help asking this kind of question when I see a situation like this. Damn it, how can there be a trainer like you."

Nishizaki Ryu laughed, took a sip of the cheap beer, and showed a generous expression, but turned his head to look at Kato Akira who was eating skewers with an expressionless face.

"And someone like you should also know what kind of desires and abilities Uma Musume have. Why would a strong person like you want to start something like a desire contest? You should know how stimulating this kind of contest is to those children. Why?"

“Because I

I want to climb to the top, and I am also in need of money and support. I am doing this to please the chairman and the URA Association, so that we can promote our horse racing girl sports more quickly to the world. Are you satisfied with this?"

"That's a lie. Because for you, both money and status are within your reach. You don't even need to do anything."

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

"...Brother Kato, do you think that everyone is stupid and doesn't know your relationship with those horse girls?"

Looking at Kato Akira who was gnawing on the skewers, Nishizaki Ryu seemed to sigh speechlessly.

"Your relationship with Rudolph Symbol, Chiaki Representative, and Katsuragi Ace is already known to the industry. And you have a good relationship with Miss Junchuan Reins, and the chairman listens to you. The URA Association's Linjing system is also related to you. If you want status and money, can't you just ask for it?"

"..."

Nishizaki Ryu hasn't said anything else yet. The Chrysanthemum Festival will start soon, and there is also the Hope Cup that Dajing will participate in. No matter from which angle, Kato Akira actually has no reason to hold the Desire Contest.

However, Kato Akira felt that sometimes he could not be satisfied just by watching such a peaceful life.

For the current trainer system, maybe it's just a matter of going with the flow. After all, the quality of horse girls in this country today is really unexpectedly strong. As long as some seals are unlocked and supplies are used, it can reach a level close to that of Europe and the United States.

This was pure luck and the pure talent of the horse girl. But in the eyes of Kato Akira, this behavior really made him feel shameful.
