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

"That is the fighting spirit of the horse girls - but there are also some horse girls who are more inclined to the other side of fighting spirit, the devil."

As Rokuhei Ginjiro spoke, he turned his head to look in the direction of Oguruma. At this moment, Oguruma was looking up at the sky out of boredom, in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"At that time, Oguri was challenged by Tamamo Cross, and together with Super Stream and Inari, the four of them were competing against each other in different arenas. This also brought out Oguri's extraordinary desire to win, which in turn caused an unimaginable burst of energy, which is fighting spirit."

"Fighting spirit is like an additional ability transformed from the will of the horse girl to survive. It can temporarily strengthen all your body functions, but it can only be used at the most critical moment. Generally, you will fall into a very strong state of weakness after using it up. So if you use it too early, it will cause a complete stall."

"On the other hand, some horse girls have another quality: demonic nature. These horse girls can burst out with momentum to interfere with the enemy - you may think that sometimes running will be disturbed by Oguruma, but this is almost a world of difference from an opponent with demonic nature.

They can consume your stamina, slow you down, and reduce your strength. They weaken all enemies in various ways. If you encounter them in the future, be careful. "

"There is only the last one, which is the domain. It is the embodiment of the ultimate power. Only a very small number of horse girls can enter it. Every time they open the domain, it will greatly consume their physical strength and even their body's endurance. Many horse girls are directly injured because of opening the domain, and their open careers have plummeted... But, it is definitely the ultimate means to determine the outcome of a game."

"I haven't done much research on the time when Ogurimaro broke through the realm... or rather, before Ogurimaro, there was no consensus on whether that realm existed or not. All we know is that it seems that one has to break through one's own realm before being able to touch it."

Looking at the old man Liuping who was talking in front of him, Stardust Illusion confirmed the knowledge from his previous life with his words, and had a concrete understanding of Uma Musume's strength.

Thinking of this, she asked, "How do I open the domain?"

“I can’t tell you.” Old Man Liuping laughed. “If I tell you this, it will interfere with your judgment. To open a domain, each horse girl needs to experience it personally. Even if you have opened it, it doesn’t mean you can master it. It’s such a troublesome thing.”

"Does it require a high degree of concentration?" Stardust Illusion asked persistently, while Rokuhei Ginjiro in front of him continued to smile without saying a word.

She turned to look at Xiao Limao who was still staring at the sky in a daze, pointed at her and asked, "Xiao Limao usually looks a little absent-minded, is she planning to use it in the field?"

"Me?" As if because her name was mentioned in the conversation, Oguruma turned around and pointed at herself in confusion, "I'm just looking forward to going back to Kasamatsu, right?"

"what?"

"You don't need to think too much about Xiaoli." The old man laughed happily, "The shape of the clouds, the people in her hometown, the baptism of the city, the feast in her dream, Xiaolili and Maorongrong, most of what she thinks about are these inexplicable things, hahahaha, isn't it cute?"

"Okay, that's all I have to say. I told you all that because you have just touched the edge of fighting spirit. So I explained it to you. You don't need to pay too much attention to it in the future. With your will to win, as long as you train well and compete well, you will be able to touch a higher level of power sooner or later."

At this point, Mr. Liuping reached out and put on a straw hat and sunglasses, and waved at the stardust illusion, "Then, we will prepare to return to Kasamatsu. See you later. When the time comes, remember to give me the answer to the Three Goddesses' Dream Cup."

"……Um."

The man and the horse girl in front of her waved goodbye to her, which made Stardust Illusion feel a little complicated, but she did not behave like a child, but waved vigorously at them.

She watched the two figures gradually go away until they disappeared from her sight outside the gate, and then she slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Mr. Rokuhei Ginjiro has trained many powerful horse girls in our academy. Now it's time to take a break. You don't have to be too sad."

At some point, the cuckolded Tezuna Shogawa had walked behind the Stardust Illusion and spoke to her to comfort her.

"Why am I sad? I'm not sad at all. I'm going to train hard and scare them with my strength when the time comes!"

Hearing the cuckold's voice, Stardust Illusion trembled all over, and she quickly stretched out her sleeves and wiped her face.

Green Hat had seen this kind of scene many times before. At this moment, she pretended not to notice the strangeness of Stardust Illusion at all, and stretched out her right hand to invite:

"Then come with me. You must be very tired after the training match. I will show you the dormitory. Then, Trainer Toyama asked me to tell you to gather at the training ground at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

After that, she led the way and continued to explain as she walked:

"The horse girl who lives in the same dormitory with you is currently recuperating in the hospital due to health reasons. She will not be back in the next few days. You don't have to worry too much about the Stardust Illusion."

Arriving at the dormitory area, Stardust Illusion discovered that the facilities were indeed worthy of Central Tresen College. Although the dormitories here were double rooms, the nearly 70-square-meter rooms were fully equipped with bathroom facilities, as well as various electrical appliances such as televisions, telephones, computers, etc.

It is worth noting that in the middle of the room, against the wall, you can see a workbench specifically used for nailing horseshoes on running shoes.

The windowsill was clean and bright, and the floor was covered with carpet. It could be said that the conditions were much better than any other house Stardust Illusion had ever lived in in this world.

The cuckold briefly explained the dormitory requirements, then asked someone to bring some spare clothes and daily necessities before leaving.

Stardust Illusion didn't need her to accompany him all the time. After all, she had been living independently since she decided to participate in the race, and even got free food and drinks everywhere. The time when she got free food from Oguruma for seventeen days in a row was a clear example.

After making the bed and putting the clothes into the closet, Xingchen Huan looked at the empty bed across the room with only a Rudolph doll on it, then he simply cleaned the room and stopped.

After everything was sorted out, she stood in front of the window, looking at the slightly darkening sky, and she knew clearly in her heart:

From the moment you arrive at Central Tresen College, new challenges will arise.

Chapter 36: Visiting the Emperor of the East Sea

"H-H-H...Toyama, how is it?"

Stardust Illusion rested his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

It is now the morning of the second day after arriving at the college.

The first thing she did when she arrived at the training ground this morning was running, sprinting 600 meters back and forth on the training track.

Under Toyama Feihong's command, he ran the distance at half speed, at normal speed, and at a jog, all at various speeds for her to see.

"It's a bit strange. According to the test, your 600m sprint time is about 38 seconds, which is actually pretty good. But looking at the previous training match, it shouldn't be this speed..."

From the beginning, Toyama Feihong held her tablet and wrote and drew, occasionally stopping to think for a while.

At this moment, she raised her head and answered with a hideous smile after hearing the question from Stardust Illusion:

"It looks like you need to run a little longer. This is just the beginning. Keep going!"

You trainers all like to play this game, right? !

Stardust Illusion secretly complained in his heart that old man Liuping was like this before, and now Toyama is like this too.

He trained her until she was almost exhausted, and then he insisted that it was just the beginning, just to see where her limits were.

Moreover, the trainer in front of him looked like a mature and beautiful lady yesterday, but she instantly turned into a devil as soon as the training started. She was completely bloodless and tearless, and her expression management was completely out of control. From time to time, she showed her terrifying side like now.

But despite all the complaints, Stardust Illusion still stood obediently on the track, slowly moving his legs and feet and relaxing his muscles.

She actually didn't know what Toyama Feihong was recording, but she guessed that she was calculating her physical fitness based on various running speeds.

After all, Mr. Liuping also said that if you are a formal trainer, then mastering the basic situation of the horse girl can be said to be of utmost importance. Only on this basis can you analyze the advantages and disadvantages and formulate targeted training plans.

Another standard 600m sprint was completed. Stardust Illusion wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked back to Toyama Scarlet.

"That's about it. I'll stop recording the data here... Maybe you're a competitive player. If you continue testing like this, the data you collect won't be very useful."

Toyama Crimson put away the tablet and threw the clean towel she had prepared to Stardust Illusion.

"You said earlier that your goal was the Classic Triple Crown, right? Did you only do basic sprint training under Mr. Liuping before? Was there any other focus?"

Stardust Illusion wiped his entire body clean with a towel before answering:

"It seems like I'm just constantly practicing sprints with Little Kurimao... Oh, and there are also two parallel running trainings every day, does that count?"

"Twice a day, running together, is that all?"

Toyama's flushed expression was a little stunned.

In her opinion, Liuping must have used unique footwork training to be able to imitate Oguruma to such an extent yesterday and even master his inherent skills. But she said that they only ran side by side?

Is it true that today’s horse girls only need a few parallel runs to learn the inherent qualities of top racers?

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now. Mr. Liu Ping told me that your current training should focus on basic qualities. I watched yesterday's game and this morning's test, and I basically agree with him. What you need most right now is to improve your body's functions."

Toyama Feihong unconsciously tapped the tablet with her right index finger, as if she was thinking about her next plan.

After a moment, she spoke again:

"I personally think that strength and endurance should be the priority first, but there is no rush. Come with me first, we will go to the school hospital and I will give you some physical examinations this morning."

Having said that, she turned around and walked straight out of the venue.

Stardust Illusion was a little confused, but he still trotted after him and asked casually:

"By the way, why didn't I see Miura Bourbon coming to train? She should be Toyama's horse girl as well."

"I have already explained Bourbon's training plan to her."

Toyama's red expression was a bit complicated, and she continued to explain:

"This kid has a bit of a weird personality. He will do everything I tell him to do. So there's no need to keep an eye on him all the time. Just provide him with a detailed training plan every day. You can focus on your side for the next few days."

There is no need for a trainer to take care of the training. Is this the fully automatic cyber Uma Musume?

The Stardust Illusion was secretly shocked.

As they talked, the two left the training area, walked through many exquisite buildings, and came to a single building.

There was a huge sign in cursive script at the gate that read "Central Tresen Horse Girl Academy Hospital Headquarters".

On the way here, Toyama Scarlet also gave Stardust Illusion a brief introduction to the scale of the school hospital. It can be said that this hospital is no less than any top hospital in Tokyo. There are even two southwestern branches located in other parts of the academy. It can be said that both the configuration and the medical team are quite luxurious. There is no problem at all filming the White Tower and Doctor-X that have been filmed for several seasons.

The main task here is to treat various illnesses that horse racing girls may encounter. At the same time, it also shoulders the responsibility of researching related disciplines such as sports science, nutrition and health science, etc. It can be said that it is a place that solves the worries of all horse racing girls here.

"How is it, feeling good?" When not in training, Toyama's attitude was pretty good. She walked straight to the third floor of the building on the left with the stardust illusion, came to the door of a room with a sign that said "Uma Musume Sports Science Research Laboratory", and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Who is it? Ah, Sister Toyama is here." The chubby girl in a white coat in the room just started to speak loudly. The moment she turned around and saw who was coming, she interrupted herself and put away the comic book in her hand, putting on a flattering smile, "Sister Toyama, how come you have time to come to my place today? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Don't give me this nonsense, Ito." Toyama Crimson curled her lips and pulled Stardust Illusion into the house. "While there is still enough time this morning, let's give her a comprehensive physical test."

"This is your new horse girl, Toyama-san, right? Hello, I'm Ito, let's start the test right away."

When it came to business, the female doctor named Ito also became serious. She brought the Stardust Illusion and first performed a set of physical measurements including height, weight, arm span, leg length, etc., plus routine examinations such as electrocardiogram, lung capacity, and X-ray.

Then there was a series of procedures including running on a treadmill with patches on hands, feet and chest, dynamic ECG monitoring, whole-body MRI, bone density detection, etc. It took almost two hours in total before the test was completed.

The two of them sat in the office with a pile of test results, drinking the tea that Dr. Ito had made and started checking them.

"There's nothing wrong with your body. It's normal. But this still can't explain the training records that Mr. Liuping provided to me..."

Toyama Feihong took a few checklists in each hand, then opened the tablet and placed it in front of herself to examine it carefully.

"According to this data, your strength and endurance are not outstanding. It seems that you need to strengthen your training in this area. Your speed seems to be okay... To be honest, judging from the data alone, Stardust Illusion, you are still some distance away from challenging the Classic Triple Crown."

"But the Emperor shouldn't be much stronger than me now, right?!" Star Illusion asked hurriedly when he heard that he was not qualified enough to challenge the triple crown.

"Are you talking about the Emperor of the East China Sea?" Doctor Ito, who had just made two cups of tea, walked into the room carrying a plate of senbei and heard Stardust Illusion's question. "She is in Ward 2 of the inpatient department on the second floor. Do you want to go see her?"

The Emperor of the East Sea is here, and he is in the hospital? !

"What happened to the emperor? Is he injured?!"

When Stardust Illusion heard the news, the pair of white-tipped, red ears on top of his head stood up and he quickly asked about the situation.

She thought of the glass legs of the original East China Sea Emperor. Although she knew that there shouldn't be any big problems now, she still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Well, the emperor strained a muscle in a previous competition, so he's recuperating in the hospital for a few days," Dr. Ito explained.

Upon hearing this, Stardust Illusion's tail began to swing from side to side unconsciously. He no longer cared to continue talking about training and quickly turned around to look at his trainer Toyama Scarlet with starry eyes full of expectation.

"If you want to go and see the Emperor of the East Sea, go ahead. I'll make a training plan for you as soon as possible."

Toyama Feihong, who was still buried in a pile of reports, waved her hand impatiently and drove Stardust Illusion out of the office without even raising her head.

"Remember to come back in an hour. We will continue training in the afternoon."

This trainer is pretty good!

Stardust Illusion grinned as he looked at the office door slamming shut in front of him.

The next second, she ran straight to the inpatient ward on the second floor without even looking back!

Chapter 37: Is there something good? Let me, the Emperor, take a look!

Today I came to visit the Emperor as a challenger, and I also want to apologize to her for causing that disturbance...

"In any case, I must make the emperor understand that I just want to have a fair fight with her."

Stardust Illusion stood at the door of the ward but did not push it open immediately.

Although she had rushed over in a fit of rage, when she reached the door she remembered that her previous actions might have involved another party: the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Although her idea was just to declare war, it would inevitably have an impact on the emperor. If she did not apologize when they met again, people would inevitably think that she was using the emperor's popularity to promote herself.

After thinking about what he was going to say next, Stardust Illusion let out a long sigh, opened the door and walked in:

"Excuse me, I'm here to visit..."

"Ah! It's the Stardust Illusion!!!"

A residual image flashed directly before her eyes. Stardust Illusion felt her arms sink. She subconsciously hugged the figure on her body with both hands, and then she looked down.

He is the emperor of the East China Sea.
