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

However, the footsteps at the center of the storm were getting closer and closer...

boom!

boom!

boom!

The sound of footsteps pounded on the grass, and Stardust Illusion, with the help provided by the Holy Night Runner, poured all his powerful strength into his legs and feet.

At this moment, in her eyes, the originally tight human wall also revealed a path because of Sakura Shinou's loss of speed.

Then, what she had to do was simple.

The wind pressure kept hitting Stardust Illusion's face because of her running, but Stardust Illusion enjoyed the comfort of the strong wind blowing on her face, which was the direct reason why she chose to take the lead.

At this moment, she seemed to hear the passionate voice of the game commentator again:

[The Emperor of the East Sea is starting to close the gap! The two horse girls are almost neck and neck! ]

[Stardust illusion! Stardust illusion! The Emperor of the East China Sea! Stardust illusion! The Emperor of the East China Sea! The Emperor of the East China Sea! The Emperor of the East China Sea——!!!]

Isn't it just to chase and release first? What the Emperor of the East Sea can do is -

"——There's no reason I can't do this!!!"

Along with her roar, sweat rose from the Stardust Illusion's body and turned into water vapor that refracted the light in the air, faintly forming a giant dragon that flashed by.

She only felt that the heart in her chest was beating at its maximum speed, pumping blood again and again to infuse energy into her limbs.

At this moment, an energy that came from nowhere emerged from the corner of the body and gathered towards the heart.

Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up again!!

In the inherent skills column of the system panel that Stardust Illusion had not noticed, a new colorful skill description appeared faintly in the blank space below the line of text about Holy Night's Miracle Runner...

[Inherent Skill: Victory Incitement, activate! ]

The moment this line of text completely appeared, Stardust Illusion felt his whole body filled with power. Although it only flashed briefly and then disappeared again, it was enough!

At this moment, all the horse girls in the competition felt their bodies sink as if something was pressing down heavily on them. Countless invisible chains followed and bound their hands and feet, preventing them from moving forward...

This strange and sick feeling was indeed just an illusion and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But in the eyes of everyone in the stands, Stardust Illusion's running style at this moment was exactly the same as that of Ogurashi Hat in the previous few days, at least 70% to 80% similar.

She suddenly leaned forward, and with the explosive power of her running style, she reached the fastest speed in the field.

At this moment, she has completely turned into a gust of wind, sweeping through the entire race, completely defeating everyone and forcing her way into the finish line!

"First move, Stardust Illusion!"

The trainer standing at the finish line raised his stopwatch and shouted.

Upon hearing this announcement, Stardust Illusion raised his head and steadied his balance.

The powerful inertia brought by the full speed pushed her body forward for dozens of meters even after she crossed the finish line before she stopped swaying.

A successful move!

She was breathing heavily, looking at the trainers who were announcing the results of other contestants one by one, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

This was just an ordinary training match, with not even a few spectators, but there were still opponents competing with her on the track.

Although she was extremely reluctant to participate before the game, once she stepped onto the field, Stardust Illusion changed her appearance completely, and she did not slack off at all even though it was just a training match.

After losing in her first debut battle to the East Sea Emperor who won through sheer perseverance and unleashed the ultimate emperor dance moves, she understood this truth: If you don’t run, you won’t lose, but if you run, you must win!

At this moment, the training ground was bustling again. All the trainers ran towards their own horse girls, and Rokuhei Ginjiro also walked over here clapping his hands.

Behind him, Toyama Feihong, who was looking surprised, also revealed an interested look. Oguruma returned to his initial indifferent attitude and continued to eat his fried noodles. As for Rudolph, Qi Cao and Surukawa Tezuna, they had already gone to the completely mistaken Sakura Shinou, and seemed to be planning to say something to her.

The two trainers came to Stardust Illusion, and Toyama Scarlet helped her, who was already a little exhausted, to walk towards the rest area.

"Is the running method you just used really as Mr. Liuping said? Did you come up with it on the spur of the moment?" Toyama Feihong asked as they walked.

"Not really. I've been studying Oguruma's running method for a long time. This time I just happened to be in the first position, so I tried it out."

Stardust Illusion explained a few words, then took the energy drink handed to him by Old Man Liuping and drank it in big gulps.

"I lose, Master."

Just as the three were walking back, the second place in the training match, Miura Bourbon, also came forward and reported the results of the previous match to Toyama Hibari.

Her expression and tone at this moment still seemed to be calm. Stardust Illusion couldn't even tell from her ears and tail what Miura Bourbon's mood was at the moment.

"I told you to run behind from the beginning, so it's okay."

Toyama Crimson reached out and stroked Miura Bourbon's head. "I organized this training match this time so that you can get familiar with the leading rhythm. Otherwise, if you can't run in the leading position, you will be very passive. Did you learn anything?"

Miura Bourbon was silent for a moment, seemingly recalling the strange feeling of pressure at the end of the game. After a while, she slowly nodded.

"That's good. If we can learn something, it means the training match is effective." Toyama Feihong laughed.

Then the four of them returned to the rest area together and let the two horse girls sit down to relax their over-tired legs.

Toyama Crimson looked through the data on the tablet in her hand again, then raised her head and said to Stardust Illusion: "According to the information the old man gave me, you should be the type who can accept high-intensity training, right?"

"You can say that." Stardust Illusion still had lingering fears when recalling the previous experience of being trained to vomit.

But she does not intend to avoid training. It can even be said that only high-intensity basic training can allow her to continuously improve herself with the help of the system.

"Hey, little girl Toyama, do you still remember what I said to you?" Rokuhei Ginjiro, who was standing nearby, frowned and interrupted their conversation.

"Of course I remember. I won't ruin such a good seedling - but she still needs to be trained. Stardust Illusion's training data shows that she has not reached her limit yet. I will arrange a suitable method for her to continue to improve."

At this point, Toyama Scarlet suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around to look at Stardust Illusion again, and asked, "By the way, what are your goals as a horse girl? We trainers will formulate appropriate training and competition plans in accordance with the goals of the horse girl."

Upon hearing this, Stardust Illusion revealed that he would be participating in the G3 Kyoto Mare Special Battle and that he wanted to win the Classic Triple Crown.

Looking at Miura Bourbon who seemed not to have reached her limit, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation. She knew that Bourbon was not the type of horse girl known for her endurance, but at this moment, her endurance was obviously better than hers, which meant that the trainer provided a lot of help.

Maybe she really has some skills?

Stardust Illusion was secretly looking forward to it.

"There's one more thing." Toyama Crimson spoke again to wake up the dazed Stardust Illusion, "Why did you suddenly fall behind so much at the bend?"

"This..." Stardust Illusion didn't know how to explain in detail the predicament she was facing at the time, and could only look for help to Rokuhei Ginjiro, whom she was more familiar with.

“Haha, this kid usually turns on the lead track, so she won’t be affected by other people, and the way she turns is also very rough. This time she encountered several horse girls who were leading the race at the same time, so I’m afraid she couldn’t even remember how to turn normally at that time.”

Old Man Liuping did not disappoint Stardust Illusion's expectations and explained.

"Is that so..." Toyama Feihong made another note on the tablet, then suddenly raised her head:

"Then, we should also consider practicing the bends!"

Looking at the aggressive gaze of the female trainer, Stardust Illusion, who was still massaging his ankle, shuddered for no reason.

Chapter 35: Leader Alliance? Baga Alliance!

"Are you the [Second Generation of Ogururoku] they were talking about? You're amazing!"

A sunny and cheerful voice sounded beside Stardust Illusion's ears. She turned around and saw that it was one of the four leading players in the competition: Datuo Sun God.

The Sun Goddess smiled brightly. Although she was also wearing a wet sportswear at the moment, she was covered with trendy accessories in the style of hot girls, and it felt like she was not here for a run at all.

Everything from bracelets, eye shadows to fake nails is available. One can't help but wonder, with so many broadsword mines on his body, won't it hurt himself or hinder his movement if he runs?

Anyway, stay out of Uma Musume’s business, just worship the three goddesses and that’s all.

"I am the Sun God Datuo, please give me your guidance~"

The girl lively stretched out her right hand and made a V sign in front of her forehead. The action was playful and cute, with the unique youthful style of JK.

"Um, please give me your guidance." Looking at this outgoing horse girl, Stardust Illusion could only answer politely.

According to the information she had learned about this world, Datuo Sun God should be a senior who has debuted for 2 years. However, the girl in front of her did not act like a senior. Instead, she hugged Stardust Illusion's arm in a familiar manner and said with a slightly flattering smile:

“Would you like to join our frontrunners? We are all horse girls who are good at taking the lead, and we will definitely not let you suffer any loss!”

"Leader Front?"

Stardust Illusion was stunned. Before she could ask what this battle line was, Toyama Crimson, who was standing beside her, had already walked up and pinched the head of the Great Sun God with five fingers:

"Would you mind not coming here to trick my horse girl into joining that stupid alliance of yours? The Great Sun God?"

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts!!!” The sun god screamed in pain and struggled.

After finally escaping from Trainer Toyama's Nine Yin Bone Claw and retreating to a safe place, she complained with lingering fear:

"What? It's so rude to call them the Idiot Alliance. We are studying the technique of leading the release!"

"Everyone gets together to listen to your nonsense, and then wants to escape from any game, right?"

Toyama Crimson silently pointed out the nature of the Leader Front mentioned by the Sun God, and then waved his hand to drive the Sun God away from the rest area:

"You tried to trick Bourbon into playing with you guys earlier, and now you're trying to trick Stardust Illusion? I'll find your trainer and have a good talk with him about whose problem it is!"

"Ah! Don't go find the trainer, or the young lady will find out!!!" Datuo Sun God was forced to leave the scene, leaving behind only a string of shouts:

"Stardust Illusion, I really think you have the talent to join us! If you have this plan, come to Team Sprinters to find me, but don't let the young lady know!"

"Is it interesting?"

Mr. Liuping had walked to the side of Stardust Illusion without knowing when, and looked at the departing Datuo Sun God with her, "You won't be bored in this academy in the future, and your life will not really be just about running."

"I didn't say I would only think about running in the future." Stardust Illusion curled his lips, "I have already agreed with my sister that we should enjoy life seriously. Competition is only a part of it. Don't worry about it, old man."

Of course she knew what the old man meant by saying this. He was simply warning her again not to put all her heart and soul into training, as this would damage her body.

"Hahahaha, I'm glad you know. Anyway, if I talk about this too much, you will find me, an old man, annoying." Old Man Liuping laughed heartily. She waved to Xiao Limao not far away, motioning him to come over, and then continued:

"Since you have already met Trainer Toyama, Xiaoli and I are ready to leave. Come on, you can see us off."

"okay!"

After resting for a while, Stardust Illusion felt that he had recovered a lot. He stood up from his seat without hesitation and followed the two people towards the school gate.

None of the three spoke along the way, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.

After a long while, Stardust Illusion finally couldn't help but speak first: "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't say it, we're almost at the gate."

“Haha, Stardust Illusion, you still need to practice your patience.” Looking at the horse girl complaining to him, Mr. Liuping laughed, “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. I just wanted to talk to you about the game before I leave.”

"Can't these things be said at the time?" Stardust Illusion asked in confusion.

"It's not good to know some things too early. If you weren't improving so fast that it's hard to imagine what level you'll be at in a few months, I wouldn't have told you now."

Old man Liuping was a little helpless, it was clearly just a training match to test his level, but he didn't expect to see the scene of Stardust Illusion breaking through in the battle again.

He also had to disrupt his own plans and inform Stardust Illusion of what was going to happen next in advance to prevent her from going in the wrong direction during training:

"I told you last time that Oguruma successfully broke through himself at the Arima Memorial and awakened a power called the Limit Breaking Domain, right?"

"Well, I asked you what the limit-breaking realm is, but you refused to tell me." The Stardust Illusion replied.

"That's because I didn't think you needed to know so much at the time..." Old Man Liuping explained casually, and then continued:

"At this stage, the strength of a horse girl is mainly composed of five factors. The first is basic quality. At present, trainers generally divide it into five aspects: speed, endurance, strength, perseverance and awareness for easy understanding. You should have a deep understanding of the importance of basic quality, right?"

Upon hearing this, Stardust Illusion nodded.

In just seventeen days, she enhanced her attributes through specialized basic quality training, and by the next time she ran on the field, she felt as if she were reborn.

“The second is technique, which involves the accumulation of various aspects of experience and technical knowledge, including running methods. In this regard, there are two schools of thought.

The first is the theoretical school. This type of horse girls strengthen themselves by mastering enough theoretical knowledge and choose the most appropriate method to run in the right occasion. Its representatives include the legendary horse girl Rudolph you just saw, and Super Stream who once competed with Ogurt.

The second is the instinctive type. Although they don’t know what is the advantage or disadvantage of running methods, they rely on their talent and beast-like intuition to achieve levels beyond imagination. Representative figures include Oguri, Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi, etc.

To be honest, I rarely see people who can learn this ability from others, but you are one of them.

When using Oguri's inherent skills, you can even imitate most of the details of her running, which is very valuable, but in the end, it is still your own inherent skills that are most suitable. "

"You have just touched the edge of the third item. To be honest, I am also surprised that with your current physical fitness you can develop to this extent..." Old Man Liuping had a complicated expression.

"What was it? I was..." Stardust Illusion briefly recalled the scene at the end of the training match.

Because she was unfamiliar with the short-distance track and the situation of being behind the leader, she was unable to catch up. But in the end, a mysterious energy suddenly erupted throughout her body. This explosive increase made her accelerate suddenly, and she forced herself to take first place in the last 200m.

"That is……?"
