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

Indeed, this means that the possibility of winning the game becomes smaller...but, it is precisely because of this that it makes people more excited!

"Ah, I was thinking about letting Stardust Illusion leave the academy before the derby and train somewhere else."

Rudolph answered casually, thinking about the training venue that could be arranged.

She had also heard about the relationship between the Stardust Illusion and the Mejiro family. If she asked Mrs. Mejiro, she might be able to meet those conditions, but...

Rudolf recalled Mrs. Mejiro's old face in his mind and curled his lips secretly. Although the runners of the Mejiro family were all trustworthy children, it was hard to say what choice the old lady would make.

After all, she was the one who single-handedly developed the originally mediocre Mejiro family into the recognized number one position in Japan. How could she be as pure and kind as Mejiro McQueen?

In short, you have to think carefully about where to go.

Chapter 264 Social Ability Zero

Unaware that the Rudolph symbol was preparing to arrange for him, the Stardust Illusion completed today's performance on the winner's stage.

In the G1 arena, Stardust Illusion, who defeated other players by a large margin, also enjoyed a new benefit today, that is, the single winner stage.

As if to reward the superior strength of the runners-up, the winners' stage of all open tournaments has this hidden benefit: the winner will have the stage alone, while the other runners are not eligible to go on stage.

(If you think about it this way, then I ran away from the battle that I didn’t win… isn’t that a bit bad?)

Stardust Illusion changed out of his winning suit and walked out of the racecourse, belatedly recalling the last time he had gone terribly wrong.

The loser who was originally judged to be unqualified to go on stage had to perform because the winner found a reason to refuse to go on stage...

Scratching his head, Stardust Illusion felt a little embarrassed just thinking about it.

"Why don't we find a chance to apologize, but wouldn't it be a bit strange after so long...?"

"What's weird? I support you in doing anything besides training."

Hushan Feihong, who came from behind, carefully flipped through the tablet in her hand and handed over a large bag of steaming meat buns.

Although some carrots for energy and snacks for entertainment are also provided inside the racecourse.

However, big eaters like Stardust Illusion are a minority after all, so it is inevitable that they will feel hungry after the intense exercise in the competition.

"Ah, I was thinking about the unsuccessful battle last year..."

Seeing the trainer who was usually in charge of his external communication affairs coming, Stardust Illusion did not act politely or embarrassedly. He directly stated the problem he had just thought of while eating.

"Yeah... So you just realized now that you didn't respect the other contestants, and you want me to help you find a suitable way to apologize?"

Only then did Toyama Feihong take her eyes off the tablet and looked up with a speechless expression.

She had also heard that Stardust Illusion had escaped the winner's stage in previous competitions where he competed with his local hometown.

At that time, she thought he was a proud horse racing girl, so after accepting the commission from Mr. Liuping, she thought of letting Bourbon give this guy a warning...

However, after getting to know her, Toyama Scarlet finally realized that this girl wasn't proud or looked down on other players. She was simply...

"Are you a bit stupid?"

In her opinion, thinking about apologizing now is a complete waste of time.

After all, several months have passed. Why should we apologize to them now?

You have become a top player who has won 7 consecutive big prize events and 1 consecutive G2 big prize events. Now you go back to apologize to them who are still from the local area...

Unlike Tojo Hana, who was at the peak of her career in school and always ranked first in every exam, Toyama Feihong was in the lower average level in the class at that time, and was an average person who wouldn't make much of a splash if thrown into the water.

Many times, when it comes to learning knowledge theories, it’s not that we don’t want to learn, but that we just can’t fully grasp them. It can be said that we stumble along the way and barely float into the gate of the Central College at a low altitude.

This is quite similar to the horse racing girls active in the local area, so I can understand the thoughts of these players.

Seeing that the opponent who once competed with me and defeated me has now become such a strong runner.

How would you feel? Yearning? Envy? Or resentment?

All of these thoughts are possible.

Maybe everyone's thoughts are more positive, but no matter what, there is always a chance of causing displeasure to these players...

Not to mention that what Toyama Feihong used to be best at was using this method to provoke other people's unhappiness and reveal their flaws.

"Apologize? I think it's the big shots from the central government who are doing identity bullying?"

"Why, now that you're rich, you want to start showing off to your former rivals?"

If she didn't do it right, Stardust Illusion would rashly run to apologize and cause displeasure to other people. If the matter got out of hand, her reputation as a runner would be damaged.

As a qualified trainer, you cannot take precautions against such public opinion risks.

Thinking of this, Toyama Scarlet couldn't help but sigh at the emotional intelligence of Stardust Illusion.

"What's wrong? What's my problem?"

Stardust Illusion finished eating the whole bag of meat buns, then wiped his hands and looked at Toyama Scarlet who was lost in thought, his eyes revealing the unique clarity (han) of the Oguri hat style.

"…Forget it, it's nothing. Don't worry about it. I'll help you deal with it when the time comes."

In short, it cannot be done in the form of a so-called apology.

Let's go with Fengshen to pick out a suitable gift and send it to our opponent last year as a token of consolation...

"Do you have any direct impression of your undefeated opponent at that time?"

"Ah... I remember that the Ota Tendou was quite tall."

Stardust Illusion said as he stretched out his hand and gestured above his head:

"Look, I'm over 180cm tall now, which is pretty tall in Tresen, right? But Daita Tendou is more than half a head taller than me, which is pretty scary."

"But during the race, she seemed to be limited by her height? So I passed her in a flash, and then she couldn't get enough acceleration at the end..."

When it comes to this topic, Stardust Illusion talked a lot more and immediately described in detail his feelings during the competition.

Although the way of expression was still as bad as before, Toyama Crimson, who had already handled two instinctive runners, still understood this strong language:

"In short, what you mean is that because she is too tall, her stride length has a certain advantage, but it is difficult to improve her stride frequency, so she lost, right?"

"Oh, yes! That's pretty much what I meant."

Stardust Illusion quickly confirmed this statement, and the two walked out while chatting.

"By the way, we are going back to the academy next, how about we find a place to eat something on the way?"

"Hmph...did you know?"

Hearing Stardust Illusion's proposal, Toyama Scarlet did not answer immediately, but instead gave a mysterious smile.

"What's wrong?"

"If you want to eat for free, someone has an appointment - just follow me."

"Hey, is that Lin Yongyi you mentioned last time? I don't really want to go to that kind of dinner party. There are always people asking questions that make it difficult to even eat."

Stardust Illusion was stunned for a moment, then spoke quickly.

After defeating Tosho Kaizen head-on and winning the Yayoi Award, many people regarded her as a potential stock and made investments in her. Even within the academy, there were JRA insiders who wanted to talk to them about sponsorship and endorsements.

Stardust Illusion had been there once with Toyama Scarlet. He had originally thought it was a good idea to leave the discussion to the trainer and just go along to get some good food...

As a result, we didn't enjoy the meal very much, and the things we talked about made us dizzy.

Since then, Stardust Illusion has been too lazy to participate in such things.

Of course, Toyama Feihong also knew this.

"Don't worry, you know the person who invited us, and it's not a business matter."

"Hey, I know him...?"

Chapter 265 The final battle against Tamamo!

"Hahahaha! How are you, little Stardust?"

"Master Liuping!"

Stardust Illusion looked at the old man in front of him who was laughing and cried out in surprise.

Together with Toyama Hikari, Stardust Illusion came to the private room of the barbecue restaurant where they had agreed to meet in advance. As soon as he walked in, he found Rokuhei Ginjiro already sitting at the seat.

He hasn't been seen for a few months, and now he not only looks refreshed, but he is also wearing a short-sleeved shirt and Hawaiian swimming trunks, with a pair of sunglasses on his head, looking like he is on vacation.

If you were to ask who has been the person who has helped Stardust Illusion the most since she embarked on the journey of Uma Musume, it would be undoubtedly Rokuhei Ginjiro.

Having just been defeated in his debut battle, Stardust Illusion was confused about his desire for victory. Fortunately, he met the old man in front of him and successfully asked him to help with professional training.

To be honest, the days of training with Oguruma every day had extremely special meaning to Stardust Illusion.

Whether it is his running style, psychological state, or even his current attitude towards competition and victory, they were all learned from Oguruma and Rokuhei Ginjiro.

And Rokuhei Ginjiro did not take Stardust Phantom's training lightly just because Stardust Phantom was just an unknown local runner at the time and the Oguruma runner he was in charge of was about to face his retirement battle at Arima Kinen.

As the person involved, she could of course feel that the old man really regarded herself as a horse racing girl who was as important as Oguruma, and was making a training plan unique to her.

After that, she even gave herself a big gift at the retirement ceremony, and helped to contact Toyama Hiruzen, who had a personality that matched her perfectly...

"Oh, by the way, where's the little chestnut hat?"

Stardust Illusion looked around but didn't see his dinner friend, and looked puzzled.

"Hahaha, Xiaoli has some things to do recently, so he hasn't come over yet - Xiao Xingchen, don't just stand there, eat something first..."

Rokuhei Ginjiro waved his hand, and the three of them sat down around the table.

"At that time, Little Stardust was still a rookie. When running side by side with Little Chestnut, he would often vomit due to too much sprint training. Hahahaha! Half a year has already passed in the blink of an eye."

"As for running to the point of vomiting, I think Stardust Illusion is in the same situation right now."

Toyama Feihong watched Rokuhei Ginjiro laugh and drink up the cup, and hurriedly picked up the bottle to fill it up for him.

She is usually rude to other trainers, but she treats Rokuhei Ginjiro with genuine respect.

After all, this old man had helped to stand up during the Enis Wind God derby incident, and even used his personal influence to prevent JRA from taking extreme measures.

Or perhaps, in the entire Central Tresen Academy, most of the trainers have received favors from this old man.

"Little Stardust was so shocked when she heard Oguri and I announce that she would become the second generation of Oguri Hat. I never thought that now that the Gaoyue Award has just passed, people no longer call her by this name..."

"Overlord, Monster, these titles are indeed earned by Stardust Illusion with his strength."

Toyama Feihong nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, Oguruma's fame did help Stardust Illusion a lot.

But her extraordinary escape method, coupled with her extreme desire to shine on the field, has captured a large number of fans in just less than half a year, and has also won the recognition of former supporters of Ogurume.

It can be said that now there are very few people who say "It's worthy of being the second generation of Oguruma, no wonder he can reach such a strong level."

Instead, the following voices became more and more intense: "As expected of Oguruma, you actually have the talent to discover the stardust illusion!"

For Toyama Scarlet, watching the changes in the reputation of studying Stardust Illusion is one of the few things that can give her a sense of accomplishment.

After all, the glory of a horse girl is equal to the glory of her trainer, which is the biggest reason why she never cares about her own reputation.

"Oh, by the way, we were so happy chatting that we almost forgot about the main thing. Little Stardust... I came back here early this time mainly because I have something to talk to you about."

Rokuhei Ginjiro skillfully operated four barbecue grills at the same time, methodically picking out the perfectly grilled slices of meat and handing them to Stardust Illusion.

"Little Stardust, do you remember what we talked about before we separated in the academy last time? About the Dream Cup of the Three Goddesses."

"Hmm!"

Stardust Illusion had her mouth full of barbecue. When she heard Rokuhei Ginjiro's question, she quickly responded with a vague nod.

Seeing her like this, Rokuhei Ginjiro not only didn't care about the rudeness of the Stardust Illusion, but instead showed a slightly nostalgic smile:

"So they weren't kidding. The way you eat now is exactly like that of Oguruma. Could it be that the title transfer can have this kind of effect? ​​Hahahaha!"

"hey-hey……"

Stardust Illusion touched his head embarrassedly and quickly swallowed what was in his mouth.

"At that time, I told you, Little Stardust, that the Three Goddesses Dream Cup might invite you to join the team with Xiaoli... This matter has changed a little."

"Is that so? Any problem?"

Hearing about the topic of competition, Stardust Illusion became serious for a rare time and asked after putting down his chopsticks.
