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

"you--!"

The bald old man felt as if his throat was being strangled, his hands and feet felt cold, and all the strength in his body was drained in an instant. He involuntarily fell into the chair behind him, his whole body shaking.

"So what's the answer?"

Rudolf seemed not to notice the old man's embarrassment. He still stared at him with his eyes and continued to ask questions word by word.

"Cough cough."

Along with the sudden cough, the pressure that Rudolph had actively released was instantly swept away, and the coldness in the chairman's office also disappeared completely.

Cuckolded demon... cough cough, Tetsuna Sumikawa cleared his throat, turned around as if nothing had happened, and spoke to the Rudolph symbol in a slightly heavier tone:

"After all, the representative of JRA is just an ordinary person. Please don't take this matter too seriously, President Rudolph, okay?"

After saying this, she winked at Rudolph and Gas Trough playfully.

"Right...right! We can hold a meeting of the college's board of directors and use the school directors to symbolically dismiss Rudolph and replace him with someone else!"

Seeing Shunchuan Tezuna stand up to speak for him, the bald old man seemed to have seen a savior, and quickly took this opportunity to speak loudly again:

"School, school board vote?"

Rudolph didn't even try to hold back his frown and just sneered.

"Chairman. The JRA representative wants you to call a board meeting to remove me from my position. What do you think?"

"……Um?"

The dwarf lying on the table seemed to come to his senses at this moment, and turned his head back and forth looking in both directions with a confused expression.

"School board meeting? Haha, I won't attend it!"

“You…!? I must remind you, Mr. Chairman, that the JRA is in charge of the domestic horse racing girl industry’s finances. Although this year’s funding has been deposited into the academy’s account, next year——”

"Mr. Chairman, three days ago the Student Union submitted a proposal for the establishment of a Umamusume Academy Alliance and Academy Cup Competition. Have you read it?"

Before the bald old man could finish his words, Qichou, who had been standing behind Rudolph in silence for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Eh? Is there such a thing?..."

"Of course there is, but didn't you have time to see it, Chairman?"

Shunkawa Tezuna smiled and reached out to touch the chairman's head, suppressing the second half of her words:

"Have you forgotten? It was about the student union applying for a special open tournament led by Tresen College..."

"You actually want to hold a competition privately?!"

After hearing what Shunchuan Tezuna said, the bald old man's voice changed. He quickly stood up from his seat, his expression was shocked and angry:

"JRA has the authority to manage all open tournaments in Japan. You are absolutely not allowed to hold any open tournaments without the permission of JRA!!!"

"Who said the academy is going to hold an open tournament?"

Qi Cao turned around and raised his head slightly:

"The academy can hold training matches for performance purposes, right?"

Upon hearing this, the bald old man was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table right now.

Of course he knew that Kicho and Surukawa Tezuna were simply working together to scare him.

After all, even if they want to hold a competition, it is a very long process that requires a lot of investment to build it from scratch and then develop it into a truly influential event.

But he was also keenly aware of the threat implicit in the proposal.

Although the authority of the Student Union and Board of Directors of Tresen College cannot be compared with that of the JRA, the biggest reason why they can challenge themselves like they are now is that they have actual jurisdiction over the horse racing girls in the college.

Even if the JRA is indeed able to manage the racing hometowns of horse racing girls, it is easy to imagine that horse racing girls will certainly have a higher degree of trust in the student council than in an organization like the JRA.

This means that in the worst case scenario, the student council can even call on all horse girls to boycott the competitions held by the JRA and instead participate in the so-called exhibition competitions held by the academy...

But this also means that the two horse racing girl management organizations, JRA and Trether College, have completely fallen out.

The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over. It was just a small matter, and it was all for the sake of Stardust Illusion, the horse girl, to have a greater future.

But these ignorant horse racing girls actually want to go to that extent...? !

"Are you trying to destroy the Japanese horse racing girl world?!"

"Just because of such a trivial matter as the whereabouts of the Stardust Illusion, you dare to make such a threat of mutual destruction—"

He stretched out his finger tremblingly, wanting to point in the direction of Rudolf's symbol, but when he saw the sharp eyes of the emperor sitting opposite him and recalled the predicament just now, he felt a little scared.

Finally, I could only withdraw my hand awkwardly and touch the few remaining hairs on my head:

"Anyway, no one wants to cause such a commotion, right? So it's just a matter of whereabouts..."

"We don't know Stardust Illusion's current whereabouts. We only know that this player has gone out to practice with his trainer in preparation for the upcoming Neon Derby."

Rudolph leaned back again, spread his hands and went back to the same old conversation.

"You - what kind of assistance can your student union provide? You can't just ask us to conduct a blanket search, right?!"

Rudolph symbolized a mysterious expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling:

"We can provide all support beyond effective assistance."

"you!!!"

"Since everything has been settled, Chairman, Ms. Junchuan, I and Qi Cao will take our leave. Next, we need to start preparing for the Three Goddesses' Dream Cup."

After saying that, Rudolf stood up from his seat without caring about the bald old man's reaction and walked out the door.

"Rudolph, I will definitely sanction you for your negative attitude towards JRA's demands—"

"If you need to submit a proposal to the board of directors, please submit the signed paper materials according to the process to the college general office. We will respond within 30 working days."

Shunkawa Tezuna maintained a perfect smile and said this to the old man.

Chapter 268: Cyberman Training Begins

Stardust Illusion certainly didn't know that Rudolph Symbol had a quarrel with JRA because of his own affairs.

At the moment, she was excitedly packing her luggage, preparing to go to Kasamatsu Academy where Oguruma had stayed before. Since Kasamatsu Town in Hashima County is on the route of the Tokyo Shinkansen, it is quite convenient to go there.

Therefore, Toyama Crimson did not need to prepare any additional transportation. However, in order to facilitate the training, she arranged in advance to have the relevant equipment and training facilities shipped over by other means.

Therefore, Stardust Illusion now only needs to prepare its daily necessities, while the people contacted by Rokuhei Ginjiro will prepare the accommodation.

Although he did not live directly inside Kasamatsu Academy, he was not far from the academy and training grounds.

Toyama Scarlet had made inquiries before arriving at the local area and also confirmed the local training conditions through online channels. She could see that although there were some shortcomings in the lawn planting, it could basically meet the needs of her and Stardust Illusion.

After arriving at the local place and putting down their luggage at the residence, Stardust Illusion and Toyama Scarlet immediately rushed to the training ground under the leadership of Trainer Kitahara.

According to the evaluation made by Toyama Scarlet, Super Stream and Enis Wind God before they separated, Stardust Illusion's current running skills are sufficient to cope with most competitions within 3000m.

Therefore, if Stardust Illusion wants to win the next Neon Derby, the most important thing at the moment is to improve its basic qualities.

"Now let's talk about your overall training steps in the next month."

Toyama Scarlet thanked Kitahara first, then handed her tablet to Stardust Illusion, showing the detailed table listed on it:

"In the following period, your training time will be roughly the same as when you were in Tresen College. Someone will deliver three meals a day to you..."

“每天早上6点在训练场地集合，然后2小时晨练，接着是15分钟早餐时间，接着8点30至12点30进行上午的冲刺训练与耐力训练。”

"The training starts at 2:30 in the afternoon and ends at 6:30. The main content is strength training and endurance training..."

"...?"

As soon as Toyama Feihong finished speaking, the middle-aged man next to him, Kitahara Jang, stretched his head to see what the other party said. After all, this was also part of the agreement in advance - to allow this man who was determined to enter Central Tresen College to learn from Toyama Feihong during the sparring period.

But when he heard about this Spartan training intensity, and then turned his eyes to the tablet, the doubt on his face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an expression of disbelief:

Kitahara Joi, who had been involved in Oguri's debut training and had trained several local horse girls in Kasamatsu in recent years, originally wanted to learn the central training strategy, but in the end -

“No way! This is too intense! Uma Musume won’t be able to handle it!”

He hastily opened his mouth to persuade.

As an insider, Kitahara Jang is of course no stranger to the name of Stardust Illusion, and he has even studied the opponent's Gaoyue Sho game videos many times.

But precisely because of this, Kitahara's first reaction when he saw this training plan was to worry that it would harm this talented person who had a close relationship with Oguruma.

"Isn't there still half a month before the Derby? There's no need to rush. I heard that Stardust Illusion just gained an advantage in the Tokyo Mile, which means her chances of winning the Derby are not low..."

The man began to persuade her in a nagging manner, but Toyama Scarlet ignored him for the time being and instead cast a questioning look at the Stardust Illusion.

"What about tonight?"

Stardust Illusion stretched out his hand and swiped the tablet screen, but found that there was no further content, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

“…Huh?”

Originally, I wanted to emphasize the Umamusume theory, but Kitahara heard the question from the Stardust Illusion. He looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief, and then tentatively answered:

"…Are you asking about some relaxing activities in the evening? Do you want to visit some attractions in Kasamatsu? We have many commemorative sites and activities related to the Oguri hat here."

"Well……"

Stardust Illusion looked at the man beside him, considered his words, and then spoke:

"We have training tonight. If you really want to attend a visit, just take a day... no, half a day?"

"Huh? Training at night?"

Kitahara turned his head again and stared at the training schedule on the tablet and studied it carefully for a long time, trying to confirm whether he had seen something wrong.

However, no matter how he looked at it, this schedule was nothing short of bloodless and tearful. From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., there was only less than 3 hours left for Stardust Illusion to rest...

Now this horse girl said she would train at night...

What does this mean, fully automatic training robots?

"Okay, Brother Kitahara."

Toyama Feihong also noticed the man's incredibleness, but she really couldn't explain too much about Stardust Illusion's special physical condition.

Then he took out a notebook that looked very old and had curled edges and handed it over:

"Regarding the Stardust Illusion training, I discussed it with several other trainers, and it has also been approved by the Teresen College Student Union. Don't worry too much."

"This notebook contains Tojo Hana's training experience. You can take a look at it when you are free recently."

After taking the booklet, Kitahara wanted to continue talking about the impact of training intensity on Uma Musume, but the moment he heard the three words "Tojo Hana", he immediately flipped through the book in disbelief:

"Tojo Hana is the one—"

"Yes, Tojo Hana is the current trainer of Team Rigil and the top star of Tresen Academy... but of course he is not as good as me."

Although she knew how useful Tojo Hana's fame was in the public eye, after saying this, Toyama Feihong quickly added a boast about herself.

However, Stardust Illusion, who had already started walking towards the runway, and Kitahara, who was completely immersed in his handwritten notes, did not notice her wave of strategy, which was completely in vain.

Standing on the slightly old dirt track, Stardust Illusion checked the condition of his weight-bearing equipment and running shoes, then put his hands on his waist and took a deep breath.

Closing my eyes, I can almost imagine Oguruma training and competing on this track.

Then, a smile slowly spread across the corners of his mouth:

"Well, let's start training anyway. As for the plans for the evening, it's you who have the final say, Toyama..."

"But now, the Neon Derby training for my Stardust Illusion has officially begun!"

Chapter 269 The Little Chestnut Hats Are Pileated on Me (Not

The sun rises in the east.

A cool breeze blew across the runway beside the river, causing slight ripples on the water.

Some people in sportswear were running along the riverside track facing the rising sun for morning exercise.

Today is a rare day off, so this office worker got up early and came to the riverside park half an hour ago to do morning exercises.

At this moment, he was sitting on a bench specially provided for passers-by, breathing slightly, preparing to take a break and then end his morning exercise.

Suddenly, from the end of the runway came the sound of rapid wind breaking, and heavy footsteps like a hammer hitting a drum.
