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

Among the fifteen participating horse girls, if any one of them shows a flaw in endurance, she will be completely swallowed up by this heavy arena!

So the question is, among the 8 French horse girls and the 7 Japanese horse girls, who has the worst endurance at the moment?

"The one with the worst stamina is Stardust Illusion, right?"

At this time, outside the lounge of the stadium, a tall horse girl with brown hair and green eyes was asking the trainer who had his back to her.

This horse racing girl looked like she had just recovered from an injury. Her right foot below the knee was wrapped in plaster and she was using crutches in both hands.

"You're right. Although I've been strengthening Stardust Illusion's endurance training, the time is too short. It's been less than three months since she officially stepped onto the Uma Musume stage, and she's only been receiving central-level training for a total of one month."

"Even Miura Bourbon has been accepting Sakamichi's contact for almost half a year... In this match, I'm afraid the one with the most pressure is Stardust Illusion."

"Heavy horse racing, 2400m, rainy day, and the opponent is the tyrant and her subordinates, all unfavorable conditions." Ennis the Wind God, the horse girl, walked up to Toyama Scarlet on crutches, touched her shoulder and comforted her:

"So, what can I, as a senior, do?"

"Go teach her, Enis." Toyama smiled redly, not at all affected by these unfavorable conditions. "Indeed, no matter what the analyst says, Stardust Illusion does not have the ability to win."

"But that's because her current running style is still lacking something, so I asked you to come over, Ennis. In the derby, what kind of mood did you run in? What was your motivation for choosing the escape? Tell her all this, please... partner."

"Trainer Toyama, you are only willing to call me your partner at times like this." Enis Fengshen joked.

She has known Toyama Scarlet for more than a year. After this trainer was promoted from the local to the central level, the first horse girl he chose was her: Enis Wind God.

At that time, Toyama Feihong was still a little immature, but she still told her firmly that as long as she could persist in the training, she would definitely reach the top of the Japanese horse racing girl world with her.

At that time, there were indeed many people who thought that Toyama Scarlet's training was simply torturing Uma Musume.

Even in Europe and the United States, people only do slope training two to three times a week, but trainer Toyama required everyone to do it three times a day, and later it was even increased to four times a day.

Except for Enis Fengshen herself, all the horse girls who joined Toyama Scarlet at the beginning were forced to leave, but Toyama Scarlet did keep her promise and brought her to the G1 level event.

After the defeat in the Satsuki Sho, trainer Toyama received questions from all sides and was even asked to be suspended by JRA staff, which made her almost miss the derby because of the change of trainer.

Although he had received the bet that [the outcome of the derby would determine the outcome], Ennis the Wind God accidentally discovered the cause of the incident:

That Toyama Hikari, in order to go to the Neon Derby with her, symbolically bowed down to Rudolph in the student council office.

She knelt on the ground, pressed her limbs and forehead deeply into the ground, and asked the other party to believe that they could succeed.

After that, Rudolph was willing to take action and help block the criticism from JRA, giving the two of them a last chance.

Ennis the Wind God does not blame Rudolf for the symbolism.

Because she also knew that the emperor was just worried that Toyama Hibari was indeed the kind of trainer who would disregard the health of the horse girl for her own honor.

Not until he saw the weight of the earthen seat did the emperor truly believe that this was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Whether it is training or competition, it is a joint choice between the horse girls and trainers.

"Don't worry, Trainer Toyama, I will pass on my experience to Stardust Illusion. It seems that you have high expectations for her."

"Of course." Toyama Scarlet curled her lips and didn't take Ennis Wind God's question seriously. "I have full confidence in every one of my horse girls, and Stardust Illusion is the type who is good at creating miracles in the competition."

"In that case, as a trainer, I only have to do one thing - support her, help her with everything outside of competitions, and give her a stage to create miracles!"

Looking at the high-spirited Toyama Feihong in front of him, Wind God Enis smiled.

This trainer has always been like this. Even if the horse girl has any willful requests, as long as they are related to the competition, she will do her best to satisfy them.

That time I wanted to participate in the derby, and I chose to escape before the game.

If it were any other trainer, there would be no way they would support her escaping in such a competition, right?

2400m track, great escape.

The media people at that time described themselves as being just like Icarus flying towards the sun, seeking self-destruction.

But in response to the request, Toyama Scarlet simply said:

[If you want to do it, then do it. If you can't even let the horse girl you are responsible for win the race, then there is no point in training safely. ]

"You still like to talk to yourself, Trainer Toyama." Enis Fengshen, who was leaning on a crutch, smiled helplessly. As she said this, she walked step by step towards the player's lounge.

"Tsk, I'm going to look for Miura Bourbon - but when you recover, come back quickly, the two juniors are waiting for your instruction."

Chapter 69: I’ll sell you this Tathagata Palm for ten dollars

"2400m heavy track, this is going to kill me!" Stardust Illusion sat anxiously in the lounge.

She flipped through her property page, repeatedly confirming the numbers.

Stardust Illusion basic data:

Speed ​​459

Stamina 280

force 194

Root 191

Intelligence 170

(In order not to overstate the word count, the full attributes are included in the author's words at the end)

Compared to half a month ago, her attributes have improved again, with a total increase of about 60 data.

It can be seen that the Sakamichi training plan arranged by Toyama Scarlet is indeed quite effective. If we only look at the numerical results of this training, it can be said that it is comparable to the general support card enhancement.

However, it didn’t help that 2400m was already close to a long distance, and today’s weather meant the grass was quite muddy, all of which raised the endurance standard even further.

Therefore, if she doesn't think of a solution, she will probably not be able to sprint in the end because of the energy consumed in leading.

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion shifted his gaze to a new golden skill that appeared in the skill bar: Big Eater.

That's right, although no PT points were spent, Stardust Illusion had been eating and drinking lavishly for the past month, and he had finally developed a new golden recovery skill without knowing when.

But here's the problem.

Although the Big Eater's golden recovery skill is very reliable and can provide a large amount of endurance recovery, it also has its own limitations, that is, it must be triggered by running first!

What should I do? Should I go first in this game?

Stardust Illusion looked at the column of B in his feet and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, if she took the lead, she would not be completely unable to run. Her imitation of the Emperor of the East China Sea and Oguruma, plus the abilities she had learned, made her confident that she could perform at a fairly good level in the lead-up soaking.

but……

Do you want to go first?

Stardust Illusion gently placed her right hand on her chest, feeling her heartbeat through the fabric of her clothes. She didn't know what to choose now, and murmured to herself;

"I should have just chosen to go first, but why? My heart was telling me to take the lead."

"…I want to see the endless scenery ahead again. Is this feeling right?"

Suddenly, Stardust Illusion heard a voice answering itself: "Of course it is right."

She looked towards the door of the lounge, only to find that a horse racing girl with a crutch had pushed the door open and walked in, continuing her conversation.

"Hello, I'm Enis the Wind God, your senior." The horse girl with a crutch smiled brightly and waved to the stardust illusion.

"Ennis the Wind God?" Stardust Illusion asked. She knew that the person in front of her was the first horse girl that Toyama Scarlet was responsible for. She had been hospitalized due to injuries, and only recently received news that she would be able to recover soon.

But what is she doing here?

"You are confused, right?" Ennis sat next to the Stardust Illusion with a smile and asked gently.

"From a normal theoretical point of view, if you choose to lead this race, it is equivalent to sending yourself into endurance hell. It can be said that you have no chance of winning at all."

"But your heart tells you...you want to take the lead, right?"

"Yeah." Stardust Illusion nodded. She wanted to defeat everyone in this game, whether it was the Noble Family, Zhuo Fu, or the Big Tree Express or Mebai McQueen.

Each of these opponents is stronger than the other, but that is precisely why the competition is worthwhile.

"Before last year's derby, countless people helped me analyze the race with various theories. They told me over and over again - don't run away. Running away from the derby is like suicide. There is absolutely no chance of winning."

“And yet, I succeeded.”

Speaking of her own deeds, Enis Fengshen was a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still continued to counsel: "Before the game, did Trainer Toyama say anything to you?"

"She said... that for this race, she would just let me decide how to run. She trusted my choice."

"That time, she told me the same thing. Even though the data did not support the escape method, I still chose to escape."

"After that race, many people said that it was because I didn't listen to the advice that I got injured and might even lose the qualification to continue running."

"If it was you at that time, would you regret choosing to escape?"

Stardust Illusion imagined that scene, in the neon derby, trying everything to escape, leaving all opponents far behind, and winning the final victory...

All the spectators in the stadium were waving their hands wildly for their performance in this game, and each of them was shouting their own name.

What an honor it would be...

That was her—the shine of the victor that the Stardust Illusion longed for!

"I will never regret it!" she answered firmly.

"You are right, Stardust Illusion." Hearing the other party's answer and looking at the girl's renewed determination, the Wind God Enis smiled with great relief.

"If you don't put your whole body and soul into the so-called escape, then you are doomed to get only a half-hearted result. It's the job of other horse girls to consider the consequences."

Stardust Illusion could see that when the Wind Goddess Enis said this, there was extraordinary confidence in her eyes, and there was no trace of regret at all.

She was really willing to bet everything she had on this escape.

Even though he had no confidence, even though his open career would be completely ruined after the race, the runner Enis Fengshen never felt confused.

Is this... the real Great Escaper?

Wind God Enis looked at the expression of the Stardust Illusion in front of him and realized that she had understood what he wanted to convey.

"Let's stop here talking about running methods." She took out a tattered notebook from her arms.

The cover of this book is worn and there are signs of use in the corners.

Stardust Illusion took the notebook and casually opened a page. It was filled with various techniques and feelings about leading.

Although the content of this book is filled with many ambiguous onomatopeia and cute illustrations.

But she could clearly feel that this was definitely the Wind God Ennis in front of her who had written all his experiences on it word by word.

Even if she just glanced at the content, she seemed to be able to see the shadow of the Wind God Enis running in front of her, and all the skills were fully displayed in front of her.

"This one……"

Stardust Illusion held this book, which could be called a guide to escape horses, and hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

"What's wrong? I wrote this book while I was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't move after I heard that two juniors had joined the team. It's a welcome gift."

Enis, the God of Wind, patted her head, then stood up again and walked out the door on crutches.

"Why don't you just take this time to read the contents? I wanted to give it to you and Bourbon earlier, but Trainer Toyama wouldn't let me do that—"

"I don't know what she's thinking. Anyway, I'll have to work hard in the next game!"

"Yes!" Stardust Illusion carefully opened the notebook, and listened to the "ding dong" sound of the system prompt beside her ear. She nodded in response:

"I will definitely not let you down in this game!"

Chapter 70 Touching the Edge of the Zone

"The 2400m track is a test for most runners."

In a box in the grandstand, a horse racing girl in a red racing suit and long brown hair smiled and turned her head to talk to her friend beside her.

Her expression was not deliberate, but her every move revealed a charm. Even when she was just touching her long hair, she could reveal the confidence and charm that only belongs to a big sister.

Maruzenski, the veteran of the Rigil team.

She was once a legend of the era. She won 8 out of 8 races in her career and never lost any race. She won the second place by as many as 2 lengths and was honored as the "Supercar" by people at that time.

Everyone who saw the race at the time said that Maruzenski's running was like an art performance. Her perfect and enjoyable running posture could be seen at every turn, and in the end, she held all the victory and glory in her own hands.
