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

and many more!

The Stardust Illusion suddenly reacted at this moment. A subtle splashing sound was faintly heard among the footsteps of Miura Bopang!

That is...what is that?

It’s Zhuo Fu who’s caught up!!!

The horse racing field was filled with mud and water, and it was a bad place where you had to be careful not to slip even when you stepped on it.

However, the footsteps were so light that even the Stardust Illusion ignored the sound for a moment.

It was not until she got closer that she felt the source of the sweet scent - Zhuo Fu.

Then, the Stardust Illusion turned its head slightly and looked behind.

A petite girl with a bright smile had appeared behind her and Bourbon without them noticing, and the two of them looked at each other instantly.

(Here I come! Let’s have a good fight!)

Stardust Illusion read this meaning from her dazzling blue eyes.

The reason why she could chase so lightly was Zhuo Fu's footsteps that were forgotten by gravity!

----------

(The runner from the Great Escape?)

The prominent family looked with interest past the crowd blocking the way in front of them and directly at the back of the runner in the first place, with a smile on his lips.

(Indeed, the Great Escape method can defeat many inexperienced runners. It can be said that as long as you can stick to it, the benefits of this method are far greater than those of other positions.)

(But do you think it's that easy?)

Thinking of this, the prominent family turned their attention to the pink figure that had broken through the echelon of the advance runners and was flying towards the front.

"Humph……"

The smile on her face turned into mockery, her eyes were filled with a dark depth, and her aura gradually began to gather -

Running behind the prominent family, the two runners: Ling Amazon and Golden Ship, noticed at the same time that a dark aura began to spread around the prominent family's body, gradually spreading to the surroundings.

(You are just a novice runner, but you dare to use such tactics in front of our French athletes? Let Zhuo Fu play with you first.)

(Enjoy the competitive feeling now, newcomer—)

(——Before I actually start taking action!)

[Zhuo Fu caught up! Zhuo Fu chased the two runners of the escape team! ]

[She's so fast! Although I still don't understand what happened just now, Zhuo Fu is closing the gap at a speed that's almost like a final sprint!]

The host seemed to be trying to make up for his speechless situation, and at this moment he shouted into the microphone even louder and more passionately:

[Are we going to start a big chase in a place like this?! Is there really nothing wrong with this decision? ]

[Oh! The two runners in front seem to have noticed the runner chasing them. What should we do? Block her? Disrupt her rhythm?! ]

Feeling the approaching aura behind him, even Bourbon noticed who was coming.

Miura Bourbon, who was running second in the team, was the first to move. She first looked back at the person who was coming, and then increased the frequency of her steps again.

After maintaining the speed at this level, Bourbon slightly staggered his body, left from behind the Stardust Illusion, and used his body to block Zhuo Fu's path.

However, Bourbon did not intend to completely stop Zhuo Fu on his own like the previous Maginot Line.

But he only needed to stop Zhuo Fu for a few moments and force her to slow down, so that he could forcibly disrupt the opponent's rhythm and maintain his temporary advantage on the track.

For her, it was enough to calculate Zhuo Fu's current path and then block a small part of the most [correct] runway.

However, is it really that simple?

Chapter 84: A Sport Inherently Unequal

(As expected of a horse girl who can be on the same team with Stardust Illusion.)

Zhuo Fu looked at the reddish-brown-haired runner in front of her, who turned slightly and stood in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Location awareness.

She knew that this was a very important subject in running, but Zhuo Fu, who had not formally enrolled in the school, did not know much about it.

At most, I often hear some odd and endless things from my good friend Cai Zhigao and the sisters in other teams.

But even though she didn't know much, she could see that Miura Hōbon, who was running in front of her, used this positional awareness to block most of the runway in front of her.

At this moment, the distance between the two was less than 2 horse lengths.

More importantly, there is a speed difference between Zhuo Fu and Bourbon. If Zhuo Fu does not choose to slow down, it will take at most 1 second for her to crash into Bourbon from behind.

What should I do?

Zhuo Fu didn't think about this question.

In terms of positional awareness, she really can't compete with brainy players like Caizhigao and Bourbon.

However, she was not without a solution.

Even at the French Academy, when she was training with the regular players, there were people who would use this tactic to block Zhuo Fu's sprint route.

Not to mention, when she couldn't use the training ground, Zhuo Fu could only run directly on the streets of Paris.

In that kind of environment, let alone being blocked by one person, she had experienced it countless times in a complex environment with people coming and going.

So, how did she cope?

The answer is very simple.

Looking at Bourbon in front of her, Zhuo Fu narrowed her eyes slightly.

(Almost... time to start.)

She took a deep breath, and then suddenly held her breath!

The light pink runner had no intention of slowing down, and just maintained his top speed as he rushed straight towards Bourbon's back!

----------

"Is it coming again?!"

Standing on the stands, the man next to Dancing City immediately focused his attention and stared closely at the Zhuofu runner who was rushing towards Miura Bourbon.

Just now, when Zhuo Fu suddenly broke through the obstruction of three people, the man was caught off guard and did not see it clearly.

But he also understood that it was absolutely impossible for him to really pass through someone's body, so there must be some unique way of running.

At this moment, seeing Zhuo Fu rushing towards Bourbon who was blocking her without any hesitation, the man immediately understood that she was definitely going to use that technique again -

"What the hell is going on——Let me take a good look at her!!!"

For some reason, this man with a lot of professional knowledge became motivated and vowed to figure out the running method that seemed like a magical skill in front of him.

Next to him, Dancing City and Good Opera had reconciled because they had just prayed together for the Stardust Vision.

At this moment, the two of them were holding hands and watching the game nervously.

[Here she comes!!! Zhuo Fu is like an arrow shot from a bow, and in an instant she has already arrived behind Miura Bourbon. Now she is fighting alone! ]

Two children and one adult, at this moment the three people's attention was attracted by those two people——

The first second has passed...

Behind Bourbon, Zhuo Fu, who was already very close, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The first second has passed...

The pink figure has now passed Miura Bourbon and arrived behind the Stardust Illusion!

[Breakthrough!? The result of this duel is that Zhuo Fu broke through Miura Bourbon's obstruction, and now there is only the last Stardust Illusion left in front of her! ]

"How is it possible..." The man muttered to himself, unable to believe what he saw.

"At that speed, how could she... still be able to go around Bourbon's blind spot and move forward..."

"Isn't this action too exaggerated?!"

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!"

The Dancing City's palms, tightly grasping the good opera, are already sweating.

She kept repeating these three words nervously, almost closing her eyes, for fear of seeing the stardust illusion she admired being surpassed in one breath.

"Impossible, Stardust Illusion must have a way! Because she will become the strongest runner in all of Neon!"

Good Opera was also very nervous, but she didn't see what was so outrageous about that way of running, and still didn't show any doubt in her mouth.

In her opinion, no matter what situation Stardust Illusion is in, he will be able to overcome it with the will to win. This is the kind of runner she admires!

Although he knew that it was only a little girl who said this, the man standing next to him still had his mind full of the scene he had just seen, and he subconsciously retorted:

"you are too naive……"

"Neon's strongest runner, was there no such runner before Stardust Illusion?"

"Rudolph Symbol, Sirius Symbol, Condor, Golden Master... Each of them represents the highest level of the Japanese horse racing girl world, but none of them has ever won the Arc de Triomphe."

"Even a runner like Big Tree Express, who is revered as the king of the mile, can only dominate foreign mile races, but still has no achievements in the truly popular middle and long distance races..."

This man has been following the major Uma Musume events for a long time, so he was able to learn so much relevant knowledge and even became a practitioner in the field.

However, it is precisely because of this understanding that he can see clearly... see clearly the gap between the players in this game.

"None of those strong people who won the championship at the Arc de Triomphe to prove their strength came from the Japanese horse racing girl world. Even the one from Kaitoshi who was born in Japan was brought to Hong Kong to be trained since childhood."

"Even if that's the case, Kaitoshi only won the only G1 championship of the Arc de Triomphe, which doesn't prove the strength of her bloodline at all."

Having said this, he turned to look at the two little girls in front of him. At this moment, they were staring at him blankly, as if they didn't quite understand the meaning of what he said.

The man looked dejected. He didn't want to admit this inference, let alone talk about it in front of the two little girls who were still looking forward to the race.

But time and again, reality is the biggest shock.

If they don't dispel their unrealistic fantasies here, then when the race is over and they see that Stardust Illusion is no match for French runners like Zhuo Fu and Wang Zu, they might completely lose their ideals, right?

It is also necessary to let them understand how to set their own goals...

Thinking of this, the man continued: "Horse racing women are born unequal."

"Even if Miura Bourbon has worked so hard, he still can't defeat the Stardust Illusion, right?"

"And these French runners are a wall that is absolutely impossible to climb. This is the real Maginot Line!"

"That weightless running method seems to have surpassed common sense in physics, but it can be used with ease."

"There is no way for Japanese horse racing girls to fight against such a French genius..."

Chapter 85 The game ends here

"Oooo!!!"

"Zhuo Fu!!!"

"She's so pretty! And she runs so fast! So strong!!"

"That dribbling! Is it really not magic?!"

"Go! Catch up with Stardust Illusion in one go and become the first!!!"

On the field, not every spectator was like the man just now. Seeing this scene reminded them of the gap between Japan’s Uma Musume and France.

Most of these spectators are just enjoying the game.

At this moment, we saw a runner named Zhuo Fu, who was making rapid progress all the way. She passed 3 people in a row from the third-to-last position and came to the second place in one breath.

And her visually impactful passing method was so stunning that everyone began to doubt their own eyes.

Although she did not start from the back, but now with the combination of several factors, it can be said that Zhuo Fu's running has completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

At this moment, the stadium was filled with the audience's spontaneous cheers for her.
