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

"It's simply going to be a disgrace to Japan!"

Haha, the fish is hooked.

Toyama Feihong was overjoyed, but she still had that provocative expression on her face, and continued to tease Tojo Hana, who didn't have a good temper to begin with, like a villain:

"Huh? You mean the players on your team are more suitable than mine?"

"Is that even necessary?! Even Aaron's team is stronger than yours!"

Tojo Hana pointed at Nishizaki Ryu who was sitting next to him and said with gritted teeth.

At this moment, Nishizaki Ryu didn't want to join the quarrel between the two women. Seeing that they were both looking at him at the same time, he quickly raised his hands to show that he had no bias.

"Calm down, calm down, Ahua, let's talk it out."

He stood up from his seat and tried to persuade the two old classmates.

However, Toyama Feihong sat down on the sofa and said to Tojo Hana with a smug look on her face:

"Since you said so, why don't we have a competition among the three of us first?"

"Let's have a fight for the French team's exchange and learning rights!"

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

"Run faster, Stardust Illusion, don't you want to compete for the Classic Triple Crown? You know, the Chrysanthemum Award is a full 3000m, what can you do with your current endurance?!"

Toyama Scarlet, transformed into an evil spirit, chased after the Stardust Illusion on a balance bike, shouting at her to drive her to do slope training.

"Watch your posture, Stardust Illusion! How are you going to increase your speed if you run like this?!"

"Control the swing range of your arms so that you can have a better balance while running, and then increase your running speed and strength, so that your feet, legs, waist, body, and arms maintain a coordinated rhythm. Only by grasping all the details can you improve yourself!"

Stardust Illusion gritted his teeth and adjusted the movement of his arms bit by bit.

Although what Toyama Feihong said was a bit harsh, she had to admit that the techniques taught by the trainer were indeed useful.

During the previous running training with Oguruma, she noticed that the other person's movements were much more coordinated than hers.

The difference in arm swing amplitude, upper body stability, and step frequency and stride length clearly shows the gap between Stardust Illusion and Oguruma.

But she didn't pay attention to this at that time, she just simply thought that Oguri's hat movements were very beautiful. This was pointed out by Toyama Hibari, so she added another arm swinging habit to reinforce it while training on Sakamichi.

"Don't be distracted there, Stardust Illusion, look at me!!!"

Toyama Feihong shouted again, and she rode the white balance bike directly to a place about fifty or sixty meters away from the finish line, jumped off from it, and ran after the stardust illusion.

"Watch my movements! Use your shoulder as the axis, your arm to drive your forearm, and control the amplitude of each movement!"

Amid the rustling sound of Toyama Crimson's sportswear rubbing against each other, Stardust Illusion watched her running forward extremely lightly in front of him. Her arm movements were full of rhythm and melody, and each movement was very standard.

"Your movements are too crude! That's not the arm swinging of a horse racing girl. It's just like an old hen flapping her wings! It's the body that's moving the arms. It's meaningless!"

Toyama Scarlet, who reached the finish line first, opened her arms wide towards the Stardust Illusion that was running towards her, and exaggeratedly described how ugly her movements were.

"After you swing it up, your elbow is almost parallel to your shoulder. Do you want to elbow your opponent? This will seriously affect your speed!"

"Control the amplitude, and don't let your palm go above your chin, understand?!"

Stardust Illusion finally completed the fourth slope training of the day. He stood there with weak legs, recalling everything that Toyama Scarlet had just said.

This kind of knowledge is information obtained by major horse racing girl organizations through scientific research. It is impossible for ordinary horse racing girls to summarize the rules. This is also an important factor why central-level trainers can be favored by horse racing girls.

Although she has not yet fully mastered the correction of her running posture, with just a slight adjustment, Stardust Illusion can feel that her level has clearly improved. The feeling of improving herself every day is very refreshing and can even make her forget the hardships of training.

"……I see."

Looking at Toyama Scarlet who was also running and sweating profusely in order to demonstrate the standard moves to him, Stardust Illusion nodded in agreement.

"That's good. Take a break first. I can talk to you about other things at this time."

Toyama Scarlet threw the sports drink to the other party and said:

"In a week, you and Miura Bourbon will compete against the five active horse girls from Team Spica and Team Rigil."

"The players from the Rigil team are the Ryo Amazon who is good at chasing, Narita Shirahito who mainly runs with a head start, and the mile distance champion Daiki Express. The East Sea Emperor from the Spica team will not play because he is recovering from an injury. The rest are the Golden Ship who is also good at chasing, and the upstart long-distance player Mejiro McQueen."

"It can be noticed that none of the girls here are specialized in leading the race, so you and Bourbon have an innate advantage."

Toyama Feihong opened the simulation game plug-in on her tablet and checked it together with Stardust Illusion.

"This race is a 1400m short-distance race. I chose it on purpose because both the mile and the middle and long distance are areas where others excel. So you and Bourbon will need to work together to take advantage of your lead and destroy them!"

Following Toyama Feihong's boast, the little men representing Stardust Illusion and Miura Bourbon in the simulated competition software on the screen suddenly turned around, took out two Chicago typewriters, and simply shot down a large group of players behind them.

"Urge, destroy?"

Stardust Illusion was a little dumbfounded. Was he going to hit someone in the arena? Was he really going to elbow him?

Seeing this, Toyama Scarlet said to Stardust Illusion with an evil villain smile:

"The battle plan for this competition is named Heart Destruction. Just listen to my tactical arrangements carefully! When we win, I will severely ridicule Ah Hua, the top student!"

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

"Why did you fall for the provocation so easily, Ah Hua, and even drag me into it?" Xi Qilong sat in the coffee shop and complained helplessly to his friend in front of him:

"This has happened for the umpteenth time. Don't let Scarlet's trick always work."

"Hmph, that's fine."

Tojo Hana, who looked like an elite office lady, drank her coffee elegantly, no longer looking as angry as before:

"The emperor probably thought that it was difficult to choose between our two teams, so he also arranged for Toyama Crimson to join in and let her turn this exchange opportunity into a competition mode. This way, none of us can find fault."

"What do you mean? Is it that Scarlet is just here to join in the fun?" Nishizaki Ryu asked suspiciously.

Tojo Hana pretended to see through everything:

“Whether she was commissioned by the Emperor to encourage our two teams to compete to decide the exchange quota or she had other plans, it makes no difference. It is our responsibility as experienced trainers to make the newly debuted horse girls understand the difference in ability.”

Upon hearing this, Nishizaki Ryu also took a sip of coffee and then advised:

"That Stardust Illusion, now known as the [Second Generation of Ogururi Hat], probably won't be that easy to defeat, right? You also let Scarlet choose the short-distance track, so it's better to take it seriously..."

Hearing this, Tojo Hua curled his lips, threw the small spoon in his hand into the coffee cup, looked at Nishizaki Ryu in front of him and said seriously:

“You want me to stop focusing on these two people on your team?

It's no use. Scarlet thought that choosing a short-distance track would limit my players, but the Daishu Express is not just about dominating the mile class. Add in Narita Shirahito and Amazon..."

"Whether it's your team or the newcomers from Toyama Crimson's team, we at Rigil treat them all the same and will definitely defeat you!"

"Humph, I will severely ridicule that bastard who overestimates his own abilities when the time comes!"

-----------

Chapter 41: 90% chance of winning? That's someone else's

A week later, before the simulation competition.

"Today is game time."

Stardust Illusion and Miura Bourbon walked into the simulated competition arena side by side. Today, they both wore brand new sportswear and running shoes, and they were in very good spirits.

In order not to affect today's competition, Toyama Feihong reduced their training volume yesterday by half.

“There are a lot of spectators, too.”

Toyama Feihong walked behind the two of them, looking towards the spectator seats of the simulated competition arena with a smile on her face.

Although this is inside the academy and the general public is not allowed to enter, the Central Tresen Academy, which is like a small city, also houses a terrifying number of staff and horse racing girls, and today's spectators also come from among them.

“Because this game is fun.”

Xi Qilong just walked out from behind the few people and continued with a smile on his face:

"The successor personally designated by that monster runner Oguri at his retirement ceremony: [Oguri Second Generation] Stardust Illusion."

"The Daiki Express, who is honored as the [King of the Mile]; the [Shadow Runner] Narita Hakuhito, who has the ability to challenge for the Triple Crown; the [Female Hero] Ling Amazon, the direct disciple of the [Empress], the Vice President of the Student Union... These are all hot topics, and everyone wants to see how they perform."

After Nishizaki Ryu finished speaking, he saw Toyama Feihong's contemptuous look and could only smile and continue:

"Well, there are also McQueen and Achuan in our team. Unfortunately, the Emperor is only doing rehabilitation exercises and hot spring treatments now, so she was not allowed to participate in the competition to prevent any accidents."

“But I’m here today too!”

As the Emperor of the East Sea spoke, he suddenly poked his head out from behind Xi Qilong and waved vigorously at the Stardust Illusion. The two small ears on his head flickered and swayed non-stop:

"I, Emperor, am here to cheer for McQueen and the Golden Ship today. Stardust, take care of yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor looked at the face of Stardust Illusion, and his face suddenly turned red as if he remembered something.

She quickly shrank back behind Trainer Nishizaki and hid herself tightly.

However, as trainer Nishizaki said, every opponent participating in this competition is not easy to deal with. They are all strong players who have won many G1-level competitions in their previous lives.

For example, the Big Tree Express is still considered the best at dominating the mile-class track, Shirahito Narita has won the classic triple crown, and the Amazon Ryo was once a female hero who competed with Shirahito Narita. In addition, there is the Golden Ship that floats unsteadily in the horizontal fluctuations, and Mejiro McQueen who can wrestle with the emperor...

"Ah, Stardust, why are you shaking?!"

The Emperor of the East China Sea poked his head out again and looked at his friend in surprise.

At this moment, the Stardust Illusion was trembling slightly, as if it was afraid of the next game...

"This is not a trembling of fear, little emperor."

Toyama Crimson smiled and patted the head of the East Sea Emperor, then looked at the horse girl beside him, her eyes full of satisfaction:

"Since the Stardust Illusion is called [Ogururi Hat Second Generation], then this is reasonable, right?"

"This reaction when encountering a strong person - Warrior shock!"

"Let's go, Stardust Illusion, Miura Bourbon, let's work together... to snatch the championship from those guys!"

The Stardust Illusion did not answer, but with fanatical eyes, he began to walk towards the arena.

----------

"We need to let them see clearly the absolute gap in strength this time."

Ling Amazon, a dark-skinned athletic girl, was checking the horseshoes on her running shoes in the rest area.

In a previous simulation race, she had lost to Stardust Illusion once because she was not good at short-distance tracks, so she had always looked at him differently.

Now that he had this opportunity for revenge, Amazon was eager to defeat him completely, so he said to the two teammates beside him:

"We'll have to fight that guy in the last 200 meters. This time we have to leave a gap of more than 3 lengths!"

"The last 200m?"

The tall Dashu Express looked puzzled. She put on the license plate on her chest and carefully adjusted the position of the numbers that had been pushed out of shape. Then she said with a bright smile:

"200 meters is too short. I need to start speeding up in the last 600 meters and overtake the leader!"

"What about Bai Ren? What do you think?" Seeing his teammate so confident, Amazon nodded and turned to look at the third partner.

However, at this moment, Narita Shirahito was sitting in the corner with her eyes closed. Her lips moved slightly, but no one could hear what she was saying.

"What? Are you meditating?"

Amazon gave up disturbing the opponent and began to prepare seriously for the next game.

But Narita Bairen was not meditating at all. She couldn't get rid of the movie clips she watched yesterday from her mind.

Damn believer, he actually colluded with the Sun God to trick me into watching a horror movie!

It's okay, it's just acting...

It's impossible for a chainsaw girl to suddenly appear from the arena. I need to stay calm, I need to stay calm...

Not far from these three people, two players from the Spica team, Golden Ship and Mejiro McQueen, were receiving the final instructions from their trainer:

"Listen carefully. This short distance fight is not your area of ​​expertise, but that doesn't mean your chances of winning will be much worse."

In front of the two horse girls he was in charge of, Nishizaki Ryu also put away his lazy attitude and explained the tactics seriously:

"The most important part of a short-distance race is the second half. You can save some of your strength in the early stages and sprint in advance to increase your speed in the second half."

"It means we are going to chase after you again." Huang Jinchuan answered casually with his eyes fixed on the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
