Uma Musume, do I have to tell you that I know how to use the Santa Hat special move?

And most importantly, she was able to complete the game on her own and overcome her fear of the competition field.

But this time, Mi Yu exceeded Stardust Illusion's imagination.

She suddenly started to accelerate at the final turn. Facing the fierce fighting spirit of Aimo Orihime, Mi Yu did not avoid her at all. This was simply unimaginable for Mi Yu who was avoiding competition.

This shows that, at least in this competition, she has indeed overcome the psychological barriers.

This kind of disorder generally has a notable feature, which is that once you successfully adapt to it once, it will be extremely smooth afterwards.

Because Mi Yu’s fear is actually like a “high threshold” blocking her. Before she crosses it, she will feel it is extremely difficult and impossible to do.

But once you go there yourself, you will find that it is nothing special and there is no need to be afraid anymore.

The stardust illusion also shows that Mi Yu must have a new psychological breakthrough, otherwise it would be impossible for him to burst out new power at such a critical moment, and even completely block his love for Orihime.

After the training, Airi Suzuko walked up lazily, pulled Mi Yu aside and started to do the mental health scale test.

The results show that the current rice bath is indeed much better than before, and it can even be said that the test results have reached a completely normal level.

Although Stardust Illusion always feels that... Mi Yu's eyes looking at him would occasionally reveal a strange dark light.

But since Airi Suzuko said everything was fine, it must be my illusion!

Another problem to be solved is Mi Yu’s special breakthrough state.

What exactly is that?

According to Mi Yu's description, Stardust Illusion, Miura Bourbon, Airi Tako and Super Stream, the four of them all racked their brains but could not find a reasonable explanation.

"What's there to think about?"

Toyama Feihong rolled her eyes, then took out her beloved tablet from her arms:

“We don’t understand, but there will always be others who will understand…”

"Others?" Stardust Illusion tilted his head.

"Yes - you make an international call to the prominent family, and we will first ask the strongest active player we know!"

Chapter 207 Rounding off the rice bath equals the secretariat

"Stardust Illusion, have you decided to join our French National Academy?"

The greeting coming from the other end of the phone was a slightly teasing one from a prominent family.

"That's not true."

Stardust Illusion replied somewhat awkwardly.

She knew why the noble family asked her this question, and she had said it when they gave her their private phone number:

[If you want to get out of the backward prison of Neon, call this number. I promise in the name of the French tyrant that I can lend a helping hand at any time.]

"So, is there something that made you bypass the Emperor and ask me for help directly?"

The prominent family who was rejected did not get angry. She asked again on the phone with interest.

"It's about the special condition of one of my horse girls."

Stardust Illusion quickly avoided the question involving Rudolf's symbol. She certainly knew why Toyama Scarlet wanted to call the prominent family directly.

From a long time ago, the Stardust Illusion could tell that Toyama and Rudolf did not have a harmonious relationship. I'm afraid a big reason for this was because of the time they knelt down for the Wind God Ennis...

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion briefly introduced Mi Yu's condition just now to the person on the other end of the phone.

"How could you have encountered such a player? The system in Japan is so rigid, how come they can always find good talents..."

The prominent family on the other end of the phone sighed, feeling very emotional.

Before Stardust Illusion could ask further questions, the noble family continued:

"The Emperor should have told you about the domain, right?"

"That's right. The previous part of Rudolph's symbol also told us about the difference between [Open Eyes] and [Broken Stars]. This should be what you are talking about, right?"

Stardust Illusion replied.

Wangzu thought for a while, then continued to introduce: "Regarding runners who have mastered their fields, I know of about 10-20 people in Japan?"

"But if we really talk about those who have completely mastered the domain, which is what you call [Star Shattering], then it is estimated that there are only 5-6 people."

"But this somewhat mysterious statement is the explanation that you Japanese people would adopt. According to our research, the state of truly entering the realm is called..."

"Mental flow." The prominent family member on the other end of the phone said this word in awkward English.

“You mean flow, right?”

Airihazu understood what the noble family meant:

"In the European and American research community, they have systematically studied this state and called it flow."

"They have a very famous research theory called the [individual zone of optimal function theory]."

"It means that every athlete has their own ideal skill range, and when anxiety levels are within this range, the best performance can be achieved."

"This is also the main direction that contemporary researchers are focusing on to uncover the mysteries of this field."

Speaking of research topics, Airi Hayabusa was rarely in high spirits and gave a long explanation.

"Oh? It seems that you have researchers at Star Illusion as well? The training conditions are getting better and better."

The tone of the noble family on the other end of the phone was slightly surprised. It was obvious that Suzuko's explanation was also recognized by her:

"As you said, our research suggests that once an individual enters this state, they will be completely focused and will not even be aware of the passage of time or most external stimuli."

"The individual's experience, consciousness, and physical instincts will all remain completely consistent, and the body will react automatically without even thinking about it. The perception, movement, and thinking abilities will all increase significantly."

"Emotionally, you will also gain extreme satisfaction and positive feedback, and have a strong sense of accomplishment. These are all manifestations of this."

Stardust Illusion, who was holding the exhausted Mi Yu in his arms, felt his scalp itching after hearing this long explanation.

Miura Hōbon, who was standing on the other side, seemed to be deep in thought, and it was obvious that he had gained something.

At this time, Toyama Crimson, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up:

"Are you trying to tell us that the field has been completely cracked by science?"

"of course not."

The noble family answered simply:

"Didn't you notice the loophole, Toyama?"

"In these studies, the theory was ultimately only deduced to the point of [allowing individuals to perform beyond their normal capabilities], which is not really a reasonable explanation."

“At least I can’t explain why once the field is opened, it becomes a crushing defeat for other runners.”

"In fact, Neon's mysterious solution is more direct to the heart. That is to completely synchronize the mind, technology and body at a certain moment, and then awaken the gift from the goddess in the body to bloom the power of the domain."

"Whether it's the realm you call or the flow we call, when an individual can fully master it, they can step into another world. This is what you call [Shattered Star]."

"【The Gift of the Three Goddesses】... Well, if that's the case, it's hard to explain it completely scientifically."

"Hasn't this topic gone too far? Let's get back to the situation you mentioned about the rice bath."

The noble family paused for a moment, and a deep breath was heard from the other end of the phone:

“Huh… The reason why I explained so much about the topic of domains is to illustrate one thing—all runners who open domains are driven by [self] as the core.”

"Once they reach this level, they will be the only ones left in their world. Then they will become stronger and surpass others."

"But there is another situation where the core driving force is not [self] but [others]."

"This is an extremely rare example. With [her] as the driving force, it can burst out with a power no less than that of a domain—"

"There is a very, very strong runner like this in the world of horse racing girls... Her name is, Secretariat."

When it comes to this, the prominent family's tone is rarely filled with respect.

"This American runner would rank among the best even if all the horse racing girls from all over the world were ranked together."

"And in her race, others had never seen a similar field of power, but were able to defeat the runners in the burst field..."

"According to her own words, the reason she was able to match or even surpass the top field runners was because she had been running for her trainer since her debut."

"This feeling became real, completely integrating everything about her, and turned into a power that surpassed everything..."

"To be honest, when I heard you say that Mi Yu had awakened this kind of potential, I almost wanted to fly over and take her away... Being able to possess the same type of special abilities as that Secretariat, her potential is probably no less than yours, Stardust Illusion."

"That's all for now, Stardust Illusion. Don't let Neon's stupid system hinder your progress in becoming stronger."

Chapter 208: Pig Man, You're Too Reliant on Super Lollipops

After the call ended, before Stardust Illusion could speak, Airi Tako spoke first:

"As expected of a prominent family, the information she provided is very helpful to my current research - I'm asking for leave! See you next time!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl waved her sleeves and ran towards the laboratory in an instant.

"That guy..."

Stardust Illusion was very helpless that this trainer could actually leave his partner, the horse girl, and run away by himself, but the agreement with her at that time was that she would come to help during the gap in Ali Hayabusa's research, and now there was nothing much to complain about - it was hard to find a horse girl trainer of this level.

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion adjusted his heavy weight-bearing suit and looked at the people around him.

In this competition, her result was not first, which could be said to have made her quite upset.

Before the game, Stardust Illusion asked if he could take off his weighted suit and perform at his full strength, but was rejected by Toyama Scarlet without any room for maneuver.

So in this training match, Stardust Illusion, who was originally extremely confident in his last kick, was actually overtaken by Narita Shirahito at the end, allowing her to take the first place.

I hope McQueen and Bairen don't think they are letting me down...

Next up is the rice bath... huh?

Thinking of this, the Stardust Illusion suddenly reacted.

She raised her head and looked at Mi Yu, who was wearing sportswear.

At this moment, she was still exhausted, leaning on Miura Bourbon's arms. At this moment, she clenched her fists, lowered her head and did not speak.

Is this... dissatisfaction with oneself?

Stardust Illusion was a little surprised.

It’s not that she can’t accept Mi Yu’s inferiority complex, but she doesn’t see him happy even though he has made such a big breakthrough.

Although when Ai Lisuko tested Mi Yu's mental state just now, she did answer the questions very cooperatively, the atmosphere was not like it is now.

Especially during the competition, Mi Yu was even able to roar and surpass Ai Mu Zhi Ji. It can be said that this is definitely not something that a child who still has an inferiority complex can do.

Really, at least be happy...

Stardust Illusion thought about it and gently placed her palm on Mi Yu's head. Feeling the slight tremor when her palm pressed down, she suddenly reacted:

Yes, it seems that I haven't said a single word to Mi Yu since a while ago...

"Well done Mi Yu, you are undoubtedly the brightest one in this competition."

Stardust Illusion praised with a smile as he stroked the girl's hair.

--------

What is the problem?

Is it because I didn’t get a better result?

Mi Yu...didn't do anything worthy of my brother's trust...that's why...

No, brother wouldn't be like that. It's just a game, Mi Yu has already tried his best!

So it’s not just about standing on the field and running with others, but even breaking through your own limits, that’s already...!

Is what I made... not good enough...?

……

My brother didn't get the first place she wanted, maybe he just ignored Mi Yu because he was in a bad mood...

But... I am very unwilling...
