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

"Method?" Nishizaki Ryu turned around and asked, "Do you think Vodka can break through?"

This Derby queen is of the same type as the French players in the arena. Relying on the strength and endurance advantages provided by her body size, she can gallop on the field and win many G1 trophies.

She is also one of the few heavyweight players whose size and weight can truly rival those of European and American horse girls. Even her old rival Yamato has to admit that the runner Vodka's strength is absolutely unmatched.

She is also best at using these advantages to gain extra space while running and defeat her opponents one by one before the finish line.

Whether it is breaking through or preventing others from breaking through, she has done it countless times in her career. It can be said that Vodka is an expert in breaking through.

At this moment, she stretched out her right hand and clenched her fist in front of her. The bones of her fingers suddenly made a burst of sound, indicating how powerful this girl was:

“Although it is true that strength is important to break through an opponent who is forcing a position, this is not the key.”

"Isn't strength the key?"

"Ah, besides strength, there is something more important than anything else." Vodka nodded:

"That's the momentum! Even if it means a collision with the opponent, the momentum of never giving in!"

"In this kind of competition, even if you are weaker than your opponent and have difficulty breaking through, if you maintain this speed, no one can predict what will happen if a collision occurs. If Laurel Crown is not determined to perish together with Stardust Illusion, then she still has a chance."

"I must use my will and momentum to tell the other party that I will never give in even if an accident occurs."

"By then, as long as the opponent hesitates for even 0.1s, she will have a chance to break through!"

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

How does Stardust Vision deal with the Maginot Line?

She didn't think about it at all.

If the Big Tree Express could observe this runner who was running with his head down, he would find that the Stardust Illusion had already entered the state that it had activated at the end of the last race.

Clear Mind, a mind as clear as a mirror and still water.

Originally, Stardust Illusion was a little hesitant about this game.

But after being enlightened by Enis the Wind God and immersed in the skills in the notebook, she has completely focused her mind and attention on the competition.

At this moment, her whole body was filled with fighting spirit, and even the raindrops falling from the sky were blown away by the momentum bursting out from her body.

The moment Stardust Illusion's first attempt to break out was blocked, he changed his running style.

She lowered her head slightly, followed closely behind the French Jockey Lady Laurel from the outermost lane, and chased after her step by step.

The Laurel Crown that was pressed against him turned around, his eyes gleaming with high spirits:

"Want to come over? But I will never let you pass!"

Stardust Illusion ignored the opponent's provocation and just sprinted on the track.

100m...

200m...

300m...

The first straight is fleeting, and all runners are about to reach the first turn of the race.

It's now--!

These words flashed through Stardust Illusion's mind instantly.

[Skill: Shrinking the Earth, activated.]

That strange way of running with kicking steps instantly closed the distance between Stardust Illusion and half a horse's length.

In her beastly eyes, a shining road was shining brightly at the bend in front of her, guiding her to the direction she really wanted to go.

"Don't even think about it!"

She wants to overtake on the curve!

Laurel Crown, the tall horse racing girl, noticed the intention of the Stardust Illusion and immediately shouted.

She didn't even hesitate, she staggered her steps at the bend and directly blocked the attack with her body, intending to use her size advantage to force her back.

--no.

The stardust illusion slowly raised its head at this moment.

Laurel Crown, the talented French runner only felt his breathing suddenly paused for a moment.

A chill from the bottom of her heart suddenly overwhelmed her.

what is this?

Is the hypothermia caused by winter rain?

Impossible, I would get hypothermia just by running a few hundred meters? Don't be ridiculous, I am not a sick person!

Laurel Crown felt as if time had slowed down, and her mind was racing with thoughts, trying to find the source of the anomaly.

The next moment, she found it.

"Don't... stand in front of me."

What came to my ears was the emotionless voice of Stardust Illusion.

Violence, savagery, and... murderous intent.

The moment Laurel Crown saw the other person's eyes, she felt as if there were only these two red eyes left in the world.

The strong sense of presence emanating from these eyes made it impossible for her to look away.

How to run next?

What techniques should be used for cornering?

How can she continue to stop the Stardust Illusion?

It was impossible to think about it.

Laurel Crown only felt that his brain began to freeze.

This feeling even reminded Yue Guiguan of the games between the noble families he had seen before.

The same oppressive force was even greater than that of the prominent family she had seen at that time.

Stardust Illusion, is she really just a newcomer?!

Under this overwhelming force, she, who was originally proud of her body shape, couldn't help but curl up her body slightly, trying not to attract the other party's attention.

Do you want to stop her? No...!

She will never go back!!!

Why would I want to use my body to stop a completely irrational monster? !

Monster, monster! Is she Godzilla!?

It's unstoppable! She will definitely not dodge, she will be smashed!

(Get out of the way!!!)

At this moment, Laurel Crown could only watch the runner gradually rush sideways to the inner lane while turning.

She even kept slowing down and making room for the monster, fearing that she would block its path.

And the Stardust Illusion has taken advantage of this opportunity to completely rush into the leading area!

At this moment, she didn't think about the distribution of endurance or the final stall.

As Ennis the Wind God said:

Leading with worries, escaping with hesitation, if you are not careful with your own steps, how can you possibly leave other runners behind?

So, it’s very simple to understand this point.

There was only one thing she had to do now -

Rush over!

Chapter 76: Inherent Skills, I command you to activate!

[Stardust Illusion tries to break through again! Her burst speed is so fast! Stardust Illusion catches up with Laurel Crown in an instant! ]

[What is she doing?! The Stardust Illusion actually moved diagonally in front of Laurel Crown. Is it trying to force a breakthrough? No, this is too much of a stretch. Moving diagonally like this will block Laurel Crown's front and cause a collision accident!!!]

“It’s about to hit!!!”

Good Opera, leaning on the railing, watched the Stardust Illusion and the Laurel Crown figure getting closer and closer in the arena, almost touching each other, and she couldn't help but yelling.

"This--" The man who had just been explaining the rules of the Dance City was also extremely shocked when he saw this scene.

The track is slanted, which is a very dangerous way of running during a race. JRA has therefore formulated many prohibitions on slanting to prevent collision accidents.

There was once an example where a runner went diagonally from the outside lane after the start, causing four runners to collide in a chain reaction, and one runner even had to give up his racing career on the spot.

Although the early starting stage has been passed and running diagonally is no longer considered a foul, the danger has not decreased at all.

They were already in a curve, and in order to maintain speed, all runners began to shift their body center of gravity.

In this situation, if Stardust Illusion forcibly relies on other horse girls, if an accident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"She's too dangerous like this, Stardust Illusion - the competition didn't seem to be this crazy before?" The man was puzzled by the current situation.

Dancing City and Good Opera had no time to continue being angry with each other at this moment. They both put their hands together, stared closely at the situation in the competition, and began to pray for her silently in their hearts.

On the field, the host's commentary voice couldn't help but tremble a little. Even she was afraid that an irreversible accident would occur in such a game:

[It’s about to collide, it’s about to collide!!! —What!? The Gekkeikan contestant has slowed down…! ]

[As if to avoid a collision, the Laurel Crown player took the initiative to slow down, and Stardust Illusion seized this opportunity, rushed out from the large outer lane of the first bend, and ran ahead of everyone in one breath! ]

[She got through!!! With a desperate momentum, Stardust Illusion forced Laurel Crown to give way. She finally broke through the Maginot Line! ]

[——Wait, it seems that this is more than just a stardust illusion! ]

Before the Laurel Crown, which had just slowed down, had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a brown-red figure followed the Stardust Illusion and rushed out from the gap she had left again.

That is, Miura Bourbon!

This lead runner followed directly behind Stardust Illusion from the very beginning without attracting anyone's attention. The moment she broke through the Maginot Line, Miura Bourbon also seized the opportunity and followed her directly.

This reddish-brown-haired horse girl doesn't usually have a strong presence.

Before Stardust Illusion came to the academy, she just silently obeyed every order of Trainer Toyama Scarlet and worked hard to strengthen her body.

Even when people talked about Toyama Scarlet, they would not pay much attention to this contestant who had not yet debuted. At most, they would feel sorry for last year's derby champion Enis Fengshen.

And after the arrival of the Stardust Illusion, she attracted even less attention.

In the two races she ran with Stardust Illusion, she only came in second place in the first simulation.

In the second round, it even ranked second to last, far less dazzling than Stardust Illusion, which won first place twice.

But is this really the extent of her strength?

Miura Bourbon, the horse racing girl who was judged by almost everyone to be only able to run short-distance races when she was young, what kind of results can she achieve now after several months of training by Toyama Hibari?

--------

"Eh!? There are actually other contestants following Stardust Illusion? Are they going to escape together again?!"

"That's not right? This competition is not a team competition. How could such a combination of skills appear again?"

"What's her name? This horse girl hasn't made her debut yet, right?"

"I remember it was... Miura Bourbon? She was on the same team as Stardust Illusion, but she didn't debut."

"Miho? Did she transfer from Miho Academy?"

"Not really. As far as I remember, she was a runner who transferred from Miura Academy's old rival, Ritto Academy, to Central."

"Strange, I don't seem to have any impression of her...but she is following the Stardust Illusion so closely, is she trying to eat the wake?"

"It's hard to say. In this heavy race, if both of us run to the lead, our competitive spirit will cause both of us to lose extra energy. It might not be worth it to do this just to catch up—"

The audience was talking as they watched the second person following the Stardust Illusion to break through the Maginot Line.

But after exchanging information, everyone was shocked to find that almost no one knew very little about this Miura Bourbon and had no idea what she was trying to do.

However, when everyone was wondering about Miura Bourbon's purpose, changes occurred on the field again!
