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

"I ran into that kind of guy in my debut match..."

Stardust Illusion turned around and saw the pink-haired horse girl in the left gate muttering with a resentful look on her face.

"What are you looking at? You are destined to become the stepping stone of the Emperor of the East China Sea, too!"

She seemed to notice the gaze and turned around with a fierce look on her face to glare at the Stardust Illusion.

The girl's eyes were filled with anger, and the furry ears on top of her head were folded back with force, clearly showing that she was in a state of full aggression.

"Anyway, no matter you or anyone else, how can you possibly be better than this genius from the Central!"

"maybe."

Stardust Illusion didn't care about her attitude, but said to the horse girl in a gentle manner:

"Who would know if we don't actually run? My name is Stardust Illusion, what's yours?"

“You—! Tsk, you can only pretend to be calm now.” The pink-haired horse girl did not accept her kindness. Instead, she continued with a look of resentment, “Anyway, it’s because you are a country girl like you who have never seen the world that you are so relaxed, right? When the competition starts, you will know what the absolute gap in strength is!”

Absolute gap in strength?

Stardust Illusion knew in her heart that she was talking about herself and the Emperor of the East China Sea. After the childish race in the morning, she did realize the gap between them.

But now it’s different. Although the system did not make him an invincible runner in one go, even these assists can give Stardust Illusion some expectations for the next race.

Maybe, I can outrun that genius this time?

"Maybe I can outrun that genius this time? Do you think so?" The horse girl on the other side of the gate seemed to have the ability to read minds and spoke out Stardust Illusion's inner thoughts.

“I wonder how many horse girls in different places have had such naive ideas.” She smiled disdainfully, “Once you have seen the aces at the Central Committee, you will know… how stupid this mentality of relying on luck is.”

"So you are... planning to give up?"

Stardust Illusion was a little confused. Why did this person in front of him insist that he would never win, but still stand on the field?

"What do you care? I didn't know this would happen until I signed up!"

The person in front of him seemed to be even more agitated by these words. Tears welled up in her eyes and she gritted her teeth and shouted:

"But, but... I want to try it out as well! If I give up without even trying for my debut, then all my training for so long will be in vain?!"

“So just go for it.”

Hearing the voice of the competition staff reminding him that the competition was about to begin, Stardust Illusion gave a final word of comfort, then turned around and made final preparations in the narrow gate.

"My name is, Lightning Snowflake." The pink-haired horse girl, Lightning Snowflake, calmed down a little. She finally told her name to the stardust illusion, as if apologizing for her loss of control just now.

The two of them simultaneously entered a state of full concentration, taking their positions inside the gate...

On the field, most of the audience seemed to feel the atmosphere of the upcoming game and couldn't help holding their breath. Only the commentator and the host's passionate voices echoed through the loudspeaker in the Zhongjing Racecourse:

[The blue sky is endless. Although it rained heavily not long ago, the grass in the racecourse is not in the best condition, but it still does not affect our expectation for the excellent performance of the fourteen horse girls! ]

[All contestants have entered the gates and are ready. Today's third most popular contestant is contestant No. 11, Lightning Snowflake, who seems to have shown enough fighting spirit.]

[The second most popular one is this one here——No. 3 has excellent qualities and looks well prepared and can go at any time. 】

[Today’s protagonist is undoubtedly this horse girl, the most popular contestant, the No. 2 contestant, the Emperor of the East Sea! ]

[I feel that the Emperor has a considerable advantage in strength. There is also a sense of pressure when she stands there. I hope she can have a wonderful performance in this 1800-meter distance! ]

beep--!!!

With a loud whistle sounded next to the stadium, the warning lights inside everyone's gates all turned green, and the gates opened at the same time. Fourteen figures jumped out of the frame at the same moment and rushed towards the front of the track!

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

In the VIP room, Rudolph and Gas Trough watched the game attentively.

"The Emperor's start should be good." Qi Chou saw the condition of the horse racing girl in the gate at a glance and made such an evaluation.

"Well, this child's flexible body is a gift. It can help her burst out powerful strength in a short period of time and increase her speed to the critical point in the shortest time. This allows her to quickly seize a favorable position at the start."

Rudolph Symbol also nodded in agreement, but her eyes involuntarily shifted to the short-haired horse racing girl in Gate No. 7.

There was still confusion in her eyes. After the horse racing girl entered the gate, Rudolph felt even more strange.

This horse racing girl named Stardust Illusion clearly did not have a look of determination for victory, but her standard movements and vaguely familiar aura firmly attracted Rudolph's attention.

"Number 7... Stardust Illusion, her movements don't seem like she's going to run quietly." Rudolph commented.

In her eyes, the horse girl's preparation for the start had already leaned forward to a dangerous point. This starting posture could easily cause her to lose control of her center of gravity at the moment of exiting the gate, resulting in a late exit...

However, if she can master this little trick, she will be able to unleash an initial acceleration capability that is stronger than others, and may even surpass the Emperor of the East China Sea!

Stardust Illusion...Can your next run surprise me?

Rudolf pursed his lips, and began to feel a little worried about the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Although she kept saying that she hoped the emperor could feel some pressure and that someone could threaten him with failure, in fact, when she thought about how sad the emperor would be if he didn't get first place in his debut battle, Rudolf felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Maybe this is the contradiction of the old father?

"The game has started." Qi Cao reminded.

The two looked down at the same time. In the arena, fourteen figures stepped out of the gate at the same time. The Emperor of the East China Sea broke through the main flow like a dazzling flame and stood out from the inner lane!

In horse racing, there is a considerable difference between the inner lane and the outer lane. Simply put, even for a 100-meter curve, the distance covered by the inner lane is generally more than 5 meters less than that of the outer lane.

Therefore, in order to gain the advantage here, most horse girls will occupy the inner lane in advance. Under this premise, in order to prevent themselves from being blocked, they need to seize the leading position.

Holding these two advantages firmly in hand was the decision that the Emperor of the East China Sea made at the beginning. As long as she achieved these two points, she could avoid being blocked or squeezed by others, which would affect her subsequent running.

However, as the Emperor of the East China Sea was running, feeling slightly proud of her successful decision, she caught a glimpse of a bluish-white figure out of the corner of her eye.

tread!

Along with the sound of stepping on water, the figure flashed across like lightning and suddenly rushed out from the outermost track.

This sudden scene shocked the emperor so much that he couldn't help but lose his balance. How could someone accelerate from the outer path right from the start?

Even if she gets the lead, won't she fall back when entering the bend? !

Who is she?

[The race has officially begun! All the horse girls have had a perfect start, let's see who can take the lead in the opening round! ]

The host's voice continued to echo in the arena:

[The Emperor of the East Sea, the Emperor of the East Sea is running around with Kitten No. 1, while Kitten No. 3 is fighting for the first-mover advantage in the inner lane. The Emperor is accelerating very fast... He is indeed the Emperor! The Emperor of the East Sea has seized the initiative! ]

[Wait a minute! The one catching up from the outer lane at such a high speed is... Stardust Illusion No. 7! Stardust Illusion, ranked th in popularity in this competition, burst out with an unimaginable speed in the early stages and forcibly joined the race for the lead from the outer lane! ]

[This is really, this is really! An unexpected assassin! Someone has entangled the Emperor of the East Sea from the beginning... No, not just entangled, she is ahead!

Stardust Illusion took the leading position from the much-anticipated Emperor! ! ! 】

Chapter 7 Is this... Erhuliu?

The air was filled with the fragrance of the grass, and every step she took on the grass would splash water. The Stardust Illusion was running in this atmosphere, and her digitized body played an extremely powerful role at this moment.

Every step she takes and every wave of her hand is in her most comfortable state, and she doesn't even need to worry about making any mistakes in her running.

To be honest, Stardust Illusion didn't know much about horse racing. Although he had watched related anime and played games in his previous life, actually running was a completely different matter.

As soon as she got out of the gate, she chose to go directly from the outer lane to avoid getting involved in a fight with other horse girls in the inner lane.

The leading A foot quality in the attribute panel ensured that even so, she could burst out with a starting speed that was absolutely ahead of other horse girls, breaking through the siege in the outer lane and snatching the leading position from the Emperor of the East China Sea.

The next thing to do is to survive the first half of the journey.

Stardust Illusion ran while recalling his inherent skills, making plans in his mind.

Since the activation condition of Shengye's Miracle Runner is the last 50% of the race, she needs to occupy a position that is not too outrageous by herself in the first 1000 meters to prevent the situation where even if Shengye ignites, she will not be able to catch up with other horse girls.

However, just as I thought of this, I suddenly felt a familiar burning sensation behind me.

——It’s the Emperor of the East China Sea!

"This is like a continuation of this morning, isn't it?"

The running emperor followed closely behind the Stardust Illusion. There was no reluctance or anger on her face for having lost the lead. Instead, she was filled with joy.

"..."

The Stardust Illusion did not reply.

The emperor's leisurely manner of chatting while running clearly proved that she did not use her full strength.

But even so, Stardust Illusion found that he could not get rid of this genius, and it was even very difficult to widen the gap. Even increasing the distance by one horse length was difficult to do.

“You’re not going to talk? Then I’m going to start speeding up…!”

The emperor grinned, the tuft of white hair on his forehead sparkled in the sun, and every step his strong feet took made people worry whether it was too intense.

However, the fighting spirit burning in her blue eyes almost ignited a fire.

She gradually began to accelerate like an approaching lion, and in the second bend of the track, she shortened the distance between herself and the leading Stardust Illusion step by step.

Stardust Illusion took advantage of the brief moment of turning to look back, but was stabbed in the heart by her terrifying posture of full concentration, as if a sharp knife was stabbing into his chest.

What kind of eyes are those that are full of fighting spirit?

Could it be... am I going to be overtaken by her again like this morning? !

3 Horse body...

don't want…

2 Horse body...

And I...

1 Horse body...

What a joke!!!!

Deep in Stardust Illusion's heart, something seemed to be loosened by the eyes of the East China Sea Emperor. She gritted her teeth and took a step with all her strength, kicking hard on the grass!

2. Horse. Body!

In the eyes of the Emperor of the East China Sea, as he stepped on the grass, the soil splashed and a deep footprint was left.

The horse girl in front of him seemed to disappear for a brief moment, but the next moment the Stardust Illusion had already widened the gap that he had finally caught up with.

Disappeared? !

The Emperor of the East Sea was unable to understand it for a moment. With her rich experience of watching people running in Tresen since she was a child, she had never seen such a big stride running style.

The girl in front of him didn't even bend her knees in that step, she just kicked straight out and stomped hard on the ground.

The body, which was slightly leaning back, suddenly swung forward, as if the ground had shrunk by a horse's length out of thin air!

At this moment, they have formed a team with other horse girls, and the excellent qualities behind these two people are enough to make them stare with their eyes wide open.

What did you see?

The genius horse girl from the center, the Emperor of the East Sea, decided to use her extraordinary strength to surpass the leading Stardust Illusion, but she failed...

And how could such strange skills as hers just now exist!

If you step forward without bending your knees while running at full speed, whether this can force you to speed up or not, you may break your legs if you are not careful!

When I talked to this guy before the match, I didn’t see that he was so crazy… Is he really not afraid of his debut match and will just retire with a broken bone?! ?

Indeed, who could have thought of it?

Stardust Illusion from the local horse racing girl academy, this country runner ranked thirteenth in popularity and who had only started to get involved in racing-related matters less than a month ago, actually gained the advantage in a direct confrontation with the East China Sea Emperor and kept it!

This was undoubtedly another counterattack by local runners, and was the favorite show of all the Japanese audiences present:

Come on!

At this moment, the entire audience was already buzzing with noise. The horse racing fans present looked at this horse racing girl who was running at full speed to prevent the Emperor of the East China Sea from overtaking her, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in their hearts:

Could it be that another genius from the local area is about to appear?

"Hey! Aren't you afraid of getting hurt if you act like that?"

The Emperor of the East Sea chased after the Stardust Illusion and shouted at her.
