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

He slowly lowered his head and the pace of his steps began to change.

At this moment, all the horse girls felt a sudden thrill.

It was as if someone had taken a blanket and rubbed it on everyone's head, generating a static electric field that attracted every strand of their hair.

(——Something is coming!)

Like the silence before the storm, the entire arena was filled with an increasingly intense sense of oppression.

The horse racing ladies all broke out in cold sweat and swallowed their saliva.

There were only a handful of people in the entire game who were not affected by this oppressive presence.

All the remaining runners couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the source of this momentum.

The escape of Stardust Illusion was within everyone's expectations, but who is this person who is once again bursting with an aura that is no less than that of Stardust Illusion?

"She is...Ibuki Mai Kagura?!"

Narita Shirahito, who also felt this strange atmosphere, looked at the runners in front of him and clenched his teeth.

The other person's back exuded a sense of presence and was filled with incredible pressure...

The runner at this moment was not at all as innocent as he had been when he met himself before the race.

Instead, there is a new monster that can compete with the Stardust Illusion!

Without giving the others more time, the blonde horse girl took a step forward.

In Narita Shirahito's eyes, the runner instantly turned into a blazing white flash, completely tearing apart the strong wind brought by the stardust illusion!

Lightning struck the field at this moment.

The entire stadium was completely penetrated by this white lightning, shining with a dazzling light!

The runner named Ibuki Mai Kagura has completely gone berserk at this moment, chasing after the stardust illusion in the front!

------------

In the audience, the cute little pony with orange hair was struggling to hold on to the railing with both hands, stretching his head to look at the arena.

Today is Stardust Illusion’s first G1 game, and as an exclusive fan of Good Opera, I naturally won’t miss it.

She deliberately behaved actively and was well-behaved at home ten days in advance, and finally her mother agreed to bring her to watch the game again.

Sure enough, after arriving here, she was not only able to see the heroic figure of Stardust Illusion up close, but also discovered a very exciting fact:

Stardust Illusion, she really kept her promise to herself and has been wearing the wristband until now!

However, at this moment, her eyes widened when she saw the situation on the field.

The eyes contained not the joy or excitement just now, but complete surprise:

"Ah, how could it be! Someone is chasing after the Stardust Illusion!"

Although she was not an avid knowledge holder of running, she was well aware of the Stardust Illusion's good opera and it would not be easy to catch up with her as she escaped.

However, how could the runner named Ibuki Mai Kagura...

Just like that, he approached the back of the stardust illusion!

More importantly, in the eyes of a good opera performer, one can clearly see that the auras of these two people are in fierce confrontation!

As if they were born in opposition, wind and thunder kept colliding at this moment.

Judging from the speed and posture of the Stardust Illusion, there is no doubt that it is running at its best.

However, even with such exaggerated steps, he was unable to shake off the blonde runner Mai Kagura Ibuki who was chasing him from behind...

"Oh no, oh no! Didn't Stardust Illusion see that someone is chasing us from behind!?"

The panicked Good Opera screamed and quickly looked at her mother beside her for help.

However, the situation is far more than just that.

Ibuki Mai Kagura's pursuit seemed to be a signal, and among the leading group of horse girls, several figures suddenly emerged almost at the same time.

They each used their own way of running, abandoning their comfortable conventional running methods, and directly chased after the fleeing Stardust Illusion!

[Big, big escape! The Stardust Illusion contestant's big escape is in effect here! Several horse girls finally couldn't hold back their anxiety and started chasing after the Stardust Illusion!!]

Even the host's voice began to tremble slightly. Having watched the Stardust Illusion competition, she knew that she might see the escape work again.

But knowing is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes in such an important G1 event... is another thing altogether!

[After the most popular Stardust Illusion broke through the blockade and performed his Great Escape to the front of the track, these runners have already started to catch up! ]

[Ibuki Mai Kagura, Narita Shirahito, the Emperor of the East Sea, the Sky Shrine, and the East Business Reform... one after another, they are chasing after the fleeing Overlord! ]

The situation in this match has already entered the most intense battle in the early stages...!

Chapter 222 (4k) (Gal. 27.5) Announcement from the Palace

In a normal game, it is almost impossible to see such a scene.

Even if a big escaper like Enis Wind God or Nebula Sky appeared by chance, the other contestants would not be as panicked as they are now.

Because for them, the opponent's escape must be a decision made at the expense of the strength of their own last kick, relying on the time difference of the burst to gain the advantage in distance.

However, once the final stage is reached, this gap is like a mirage and can be lost at any time because the escaper runs out of energy.

In the end, it all comes back to a competition of speed.

Anyone who is a truly excellent runner cannot fail to understand this truth.

However, the Stardust Illusion is an outlier among outliers, and it is useless no matter how unwilling the contestants are to believe it.

She has demonstrated her strength to everyone through game after game, as well as the terrifying fact that escape and last kick coexist.

At this point, there is no need for the top horse racing girls to think of any other strategies.

Faced with the Stardust Illusion that has already started to escape, if they want to avoid being eliminated from the competition for the winner in advance, they must abandon all other ways of running and force themselves to respond to the escape with an escape.

Yes.

The last time he watched the East Sea Emperor's race, Mejiro McQueen accidentally revealed a piece of information, which is that the East Sea Emperor might change his habitual running method and adopt a central strategy.

However, Stardust Illusion didn't seem to care about this matter at the time.

On the one hand, it was because McQueen let the cat out of the bag that she knew about this matter, and it was neither reasonable nor logical to continue to delve into it, lest McQueen be embarrassed and caught in a difficult position.

But on the other hand, it was because Stardust Illusion knew that all this was meaningless.

There is no point in asking why?

That's because, no matter whether it's prior specialization or central specialization, these ideas will be completely sealed in front of the stardust illusion.

[If you want to challenge me, you are not allowed to run in any other way! ]

This is a notice from the palace.

The king of escape announced a ban on this game to all the contestants who could understand his intention!

This unreasonable practice forced every contestant to grit their teeth and endure it.

Even though most of the contestants have already undergone special training in the Great Escape Method, the trait that a horse girl is good at is not something that is so easy to change, not to mention that the Great Escape Method is a one-in-a-million talent...

Now they must gamble everything from the very beginning. They must not stop even if they break their legs. They must rely on their physical strength and perseverance to fight this desperate battle!

----------

However, this difficult situation was completely unreal to the audience in the stands.

For them, the current scene of runners competing from the very beginning of the race and several runners escaping together is simply the scene they have always dreamed of.

The thrilling feeling that makes their blood boil, as well as the deep concern for these escape contestants, this contradictory and uneasy mood makes them look forward to what kind of confrontation will happen next.

"Hey, is this true? How could this happen?"

"Is there no other solution for everyone?"

"The charge of the Stardust Illusion started this war of escape and flight..."

"So many horse racing girls charging together, this is so cool!"

"Running away can easily wear out a runner's body. Don't they have any fear?"

"For these girls, what's the point of their career if they can't even give their all in the Classic Triple Crown?"

"It would be terrible if something unexpected happened...!"

"That's right! This is it! This is what I want to see!"

"Stardust Illusion, wear my wristband and cheer together!"

“Guhehe, everyone is working hard and sweating... It’s so beautiful! Guhehehehe~”

However, no matter what opinions the audience had, they could not affect the progress of the game. Such a fierce confrontation even made the host who was commentating on the game more excited.

Although the competition has just begun, she has a hunch... this unprecedented Gaoyue Sho will most likely go down in history!

【Big! Escape! 】

The host roared with all her might, and the most popular runner, Stardust Illusion, broke through the echelon of runners and took the big escape spot that belonged to her.

Then, as if it had been expected, Ibuki Mai Kagura took the lead, and runners such as the Emperor of the East Sea followed instantly.

It is obviously the rarest way of running, but at this moment, a complete echelon of runners was formed. They pulled away from the other contestants in one breath and rushed to the front of the field!

Being able to explain such a grand occasion... Seeing this unprecedented match, the host's body began to tremble. She could only stretch out both hands to tightly grasp the base of the microphone, then look at the situation in the arena and continue to shout:

【Led by the wild stardust illusion, this unique escape team rushed into the second corner of Zhongshan Racecourse! 】

[Yangyang took the lead, and Stardust Illusion's legs were still strong. She kept her speed steady and didn't let the other players catch up with her in one go! ]

[Now she is only 4-5 lengths away from the runners behind her. Can she maintain this advantage and take the lead to the end?! ]

After hearing the host's explanation, everyone focused their attention.

Although five or six such escapes have never happened even in the history of Uma Musume, it is much easier to understand them from the perspective of the lead runner.

Most people can understand the current situation. After all... the competition for the lead is a fight for the leading position.

Only when you run in the front and leave the other runners behind can you be called the leader!

Stardust Illusion… Can this runner, who moves people in every race, succeed?

The excited shouts and cheers echoed across the stadium, making people unable to help but smile.

The Stardust Illusion was running on the curve, listening to such sounds.

The throbbing feeling in my heart, the excitement lingering in my mind...

She was running at the front of the track, with no obstacles in sight.

Being able to feel the cheers coming for me is undoubtedly what I have fought for.

The one and only gleam of her stardust illusion.

At the same time, there was some noise mixed in with the cheers.

That raised questions about whether she could maintain this lead to the end.

That's true... It's natural to have such concerns when seeing those strong men chasing after you.

Even she herself could feel that the strong wind she created was torn to pieces by the fighting spirit rising from these opponents.

However, as a runner, it is also her responsibility to bring unexpected experiences to the audience to enhance the purity of the race.

(Since you think that I, who have already taken the escape position, can be caught up, you think that a turning point may happen around the corner...)

(Then let everyone take a look at the results of this month!)

The lawn in front of me was suddenly covered in a fiery white color, and the stardust illusion in my heart was swept away, leaving only the clear and bright lake water.

A mind as clear as a mirror and still water. Clear Mind.

The runner's figure was reflected.

It's like a deer running on the track, with a pace that's more like jumping than running, and a body that leans to the extreme along the curve.

After countless attempts and imitations, Stardust Illusion finally understood the most important truth of this running method.

It's not her steps or postures. What really allows Super Stream to maintain such a movement... is the extraordinary core strength hidden beneath her slender waist!

The two figures gradually overlapped with this thought, and the stardust illusion began to synchronize with the super stream in his imagination.
