The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

Condor was confused for a moment, but when he saw Kushangfei laughing, he immediately joined in. Soon, Kushangfei, lying on the ground, looked up at the sky again and said softly, "Okay, enough rest. Elu, Spy-chan? Could you please help me up? I have no strength left."

"No problem!" x2

Te Bie Zhou and Shen Ying stepped forward without saying a word, and each of them used one hand to pull up Cao Shangfei, who was in pain all over, from the grass. Soon, Cao Shangfei stood up again on the ground.

"Thank you...ah."

"Little Grass?!"

However, suddenly, Cao Shangfei just wanted to take a step, but she stumbled, perhaps because she did not stand firmly or for other reasons, and she quickly knelt down again after just standing up.

Fortunately, the eagle beside him was quick-witted and supported Cao Shangfei immediately. He couldn't help but asked nervously: "Xiao Cao?! Are you okay? Your leg——"

"It's okay... I just feel a little sore in my right leg."

Cao Shangfei's expression did not seem to be very painful, but he seemed to be trying to hold on. He wanted to break free from the support of the divine eagle and try to take a few steps, but he was quickly stopped by another voice.

"Little grass!"

"Trainer-kun? Ugh!"

However, before Cao Shangfei could react, Kitano came in front of her at a speed that even surprised Cao Shangfei. Before Cao Shangfei could prepare herself mentally, she saw Kitano's face was already very close to her, and her shoulders were immediately pressed down by Kitano.

"Xiaocao, are you okay? Is your right leg okay? I saw you looked uncomfortable in the audience just now!"

"No, I'm fine..." Cao Shangfei answered blankly. However, before she could finish her answer, Shenying behind her shouted anxiously, "Something bad has happened, Trainer Kitano! Xiaocao seems to be injured! She couldn't even walk just now!"

When he said this, Shenying grabbed Kitano with both hands, a sly look flashing in his anxious eyes. Then he said nervously, "It looks like the thread is seriously broken! Trainer Kitano, please quickly pick up Xiaocao and take her to the hospital for a checkup!!"

"Wait?! Elu!"

It was only then that Cao Shangfei reacted and realized what Shenying was trying to do. The next moment, before Cao Shangfei turned around and told Kitano that he was fine, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness.

The next moment, Cao Shangfei's mind went blank as Kitano lifted him up like a princess. And at that moment, Kitano's mind was also blank. When he saw that Cao Shangfei seemed to have leg problems, he was almost stunned, but he ran to the field almost on instinct.

Faced with Shenying's words, Kitano, who was already frightened at the moment, had no thoughts in his mind at all. He just did whatever others said at this time, so he picked up Cao Shangfei without thinking.

Cao Shangfei, who was being picked up, did not even show any sign of resistance the moment she realized what was happening - it would be better to say that she seemed to have given up resisting from that moment on.

She was tired and didn't want to think about anything else at the moment... She felt very tired and just wanted to have a good rest... in the arms of her trainer Sang.

At least, here, she can rest in peace.

So, Cao Shangfei leaned her head gently on Beiye's arm, her palm gently grasping his sleeve, and her ears were completely lowered at this moment, which was proof that she was completely relaxed.

At this moment, Cao Shangfei seemed to be asleep, and seemed to have taken off all her strong outer clothes... If it weren't for her slightly raised smile, at that moment, she seemed to have really fallen asleep.

Chapter 335: Safely Survived the Crisis, Temporary Rest

"Well, there's a little problem here, and there's also a muscle strain from over-exercise. It's really a problem."

When Kitano, who was confused, took Kusagami Hi and everyone in the team to the Ma Musume Hospital for a check-up, the doctors immediately scanned Kusagami Hi's legs. At the end of the examination, the doctor looked at the film and nodded seriously to the nervous Kitano and the quiet Kusagami Hi in front of him.

"Okay, I've checked it carefully, and I can see some problems with this film."

The horse girl doctor also took down the film, turned to the nervous Kitano and the calm Kusagami Fei, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, kid, you may not be able to run for the next period of time."

"How could this be..." Before Cao Shangfei could respond, Kitano's pupils trembled, and he asked with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "Doctor, is there really no other way?"

"I'm sorry, but there's really nothing we can do." Dr. Ma Musume shook her head. She glanced at Kusagami Fei, whose expression had finally changed a bit, and Kitano, whose face had already turned pale. She sighed and replied, "It's ligament inflammation, after all. One of the most troublesome things about this disease is that it's difficult to treat. Fortunately, it's not very serious and will heal in two or three months. It's a shame the child might not make it to the Japanese derby."

"I understand your feelings. After all, you want to be undefeated and win three championships. But recuperation is more important than competition—Wooah!"

However, before the horse girl doctor could finish, Kitano suddenly stepped forward and pressed the horse girl doctor's shoulder, startling the doctor. At this moment, Kitano stared at the horse girl doctor with his eyes, and asked in an extremely incredulous tone: "What did you say just now? What's the disease? How long will it take to recover?"

"Sir, I understand your feelings and your desire for your horse girl to win the undefeated triple crown. However, as a doctor, I must implore you to give up your pursuit of the Japanese Derby for the time being and let this child rest."

Doctor Ma Niang, who seemed to have encountered this situation many times, was slightly stunned at the moment, but she remained calm and said, "Please consider the child's future. Giving up is better than letting her die on the field, so don't let her try to be stubborn."

"No, I, I'm glad. I'm sorry, doctor."

However, at this moment, after receiving the doctor's affirmative answer again, Kitano seemed to be relieved. He sat back in his seat limply, with an expression as if he had survived a disaster, as if he had a terminal illness, but was relieved to hear that it was a misdiagnosis.

"I thought... Xiaocao wouldn't be able to run in the future. Turns out there's no fracture, no fracture... just ligament inflammation, ligament inflammation..."

"Ah, well, I hope you understand."

Kitano's frightened look also left Dr. Umamu a little puzzled. She had treated many horse girls and their trainers who were admitted to the hospital with various injuries. Some of them were injured during training or when they happened to be at the peak of their careers.

There were also some horse girls who had a chance to win the GI, but suddenly had to rest due to injuries or even retire. And their trainers were either devastated or furious... She had seen many such people.

But someone like Kitano... upon hearing that his proud horse girl was ill, he was so nervous as if he had a terminal illness. However, when he heard that it was "ligamentitis", a minor illness that was hard for some more anxious trainers to accept, he felt relieved as if he had been granted a reprieve.

Especially... this horse girl named Flying on the Grass, who clearly had a chance to win the undefeated triple crown? Shouldn't her illness at this time be the most regrettable and unacceptable thing?

However, although Dr. Ma Musume was confused by the scene before her, and even listed Kitano as a "weirdo" in her heart, she was still glad that Kitano could calmly accept this reality.

After all… there were some bad-tempered trainers who would lose their temper and even attack the doctor because of something like this. For this reason, Dr. Umamu was even prepared. If Kitano did anything extreme, she would just give him a shot of a special tranquilizer with no side effects…

But now it seems that there is no need for this.

"Now that you know, the next step will be easy." Doctor Ma Niang adjusted her glasses and then said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Take it on time according to their instructions, and then rest for a while to recover from your injuries. Avoid any strenuous exercise, and definitely not training."

"Then, to be on the safe side, I'll give you an injection and wrap you in gauze with herbs. You have a muscle strain in your leg, so it's best to use a crutch for the time being."

"Thank you for your help." Cao Shangfei accepted the result very calmly, and nodded with a chuckle.

What a strange pairing. Dr. Mamu had been in the profession for many years, but this was the first time he had seen a horse girl and trainer who fell ill at such a critical moment and was so receptive.

Are they so indifferent that they don't care about the undefeated triple crown, an honor that only Rudo can achieve?

Dr. Ma Musume was a little confused, but she didn't understand so much that she even forgot her job. Soon, after Cao Shangfei took off the black stockings of her victory suit with Kitano's help, she stretched out her feet towards the doctor.

"Madam Doctor, please excuse me."

……

After a while, Kitano and Kusagami Fei walked out of the doctor's diagnosis room. Facing Kusagami Fei who was supported by Kitano, the team members outside the door, as well as Te Bie Zhou and Shen Ying who followed him, immediately surrounded them.

"How is it?! Is Cao Shangfei okay?!" Te Bie Zhou was the most nervous person after Cao Shangfei's accident. She was also very scared. She was afraid that Cao Shangfei would not be able to compete in the future and would become the shadow that she would never be able to "win" in her life.

Facing the nervous crowd, Kitano and Kusagami Fei exchanged a glance, as if they had quietly made some kind of decision. Then, Kusagami Fei took the initiative and said to Te Bie Zhou with a smile, "Spei-chan...it looks like we can't run the Japanese Derby together."

However, as soon as Cao Shangfei said this, the whole place fell silent. Only Te Bie Zhou's mind went blank after hearing the news, and then tears began to fall uncontrollably...

"How could...how could..."

"Little Grass...will you never be able to run again? Is our race...only as far as it goes?"

But Te Te Zhou seemed to find it extremely difficult to accept such a result. Even Shen Ying and the others were in a trance for a moment. The next moment, Shen Ying suddenly burst into tears and cried out in disarray: "Ahhh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiao Cao! It's my fault, Elu. I chased you too closely, Xiao Cao, and that's why you became like this, ah wuwuwu..."

"No, it's not!" Sakura Jinwang suddenly spoke up when he heard it, and a rare panic expression appeared in his pupils. As if he was also infected by the atmosphere, he burst into tears and shouted: "It's my fault, my fault! Trainer Sang clearly gave me the task of taking care of Kusagami Hibi, but I failed to see the problem with Kusagami Hibi. I, my dereliction of duty, my negligence..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qingyun Tiankong's mind was blank. At this moment, she obviously put part of the responsibility on herself.

Seeing that everyone looked very sad, Cao Shangfei knew that she had played a joke a bit too much, and she didn't expect that everyone cared about her so much.

But soon, a faint smile appeared on Cao Shangfei's face, followed by a chuckle, breaking the originally sad atmosphere.

"Xiaocao?" The crying Shenying suddenly laughed when he heard Xiaocao, and Kitano on the side also couldn't help laughing, as if he noticed something.

"What? I'm such an idiot." A beautiful smile appeared on Cao Shangfei's face. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his slender fingers, and then said softly to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine. I just can't participate in the Japan Derby. I need to rest for the next few months, so I can't accompany Spei-chan and Elu to the Japan Derby."

"I'm fine. It's just ligament inflammation and a slight muscle strain. I'll definitely be back when the chrysanthemums are viewed and continue my journey."

As soon as Cao Shangfei finished speaking, the whole place fell silent again. The scene where everyone was about to cry due to the sadness just now was frozen in time.

"Uhhhhhh!!"

However, the next moment, Te Bie Zhou suddenly started crying even louder. Before Cao Shangfei could react, Te Bie Zhou came over and hugged Cao Shangfei emotionally, crying with tears and snot: "Don't scare me, classmate Cao Shangfei! You're almost frightening me to death! Wuuuuu..."

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see that everyone cared about me."

Cao Shangfei gently embraced Te Bie Zhou in his arms, letting her wipe her tears on his shoulders. Soon, Shen Ying, Qing Yun Tian Kong, Sheng Wang Guang Huan, Ying Hua Jin Wang, and others also came up to hug her crying. They hugged Cao Shangfei so tightly that only her head was exposed, as if they wanted to cling to her body.

Kusanagi Fei, who felt for the first time the care and concern from everyone except Kitano, couldn't help shedding tears... She had never felt this kind of feeling of being cared for by everyone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone, I didn't mean to scare you, just this once."

"I will definitely be back. When the chrysanthemums are in bloom, I will definitely be racing again. Don't worry, everyone."

Cao Shangfei also said this in a comforting way, but her eyes couldn't help but turn to Kitano who was standing aside. After receiving the helpless look of Kitano who was watching from the sidelines, she nodded in understanding.

After all... telling everyone this way was also their agreement. After all, if they had told everyone from the beginning that Xiaocao couldn't participate in the Japan Derby due to ligament inflammation, everyone would definitely cry their eyes out.

But with this joke, the news of being unable to run forever and recuperating from ligament inflammation became like surviving a disaster, a piece of good news. And this was exactly the effect that Kusagami Fei and Kitano wanted to achieve.

They are all gentle people and cannot accept everyone's tears of sorrow. They can only accept tears of joy.

Chapter 336: Going to participate in the Japanese Derby?

After Kitano, Aldan and others worked together to calm the turmoil caused by Sakura Shin's decision to withdraw from the Classic Triple Crown, the decision of Cao Shangfei to avoid the Japanese Derby due to injury once again dealt a second blow to Kitano's reputation in the outside world.

The reason is simple. Now that she is undefeated and has just won the Gaoyue Sho, it can be said that for the outside audience, Kusanagi Hi has already booked a ticket to become the "second undefeated triple crown horse girl". However, in this highly anticipated situation, Kusanagi Hi has to avoid the challenge of the Japanese Derby, which undoubtedly makes the public who are full of expectations feel extremely disappointed.

After all, the Japan Derby can be said to be the most anticipated and watched event among the classic three crowns. It is a race that can only be won by the "luckiest horse racing girl". It is considered to be the most valuable race among the classic three crowns. The Japan Derby has an extraordinary status in the hearts of the Japanese people.

It's fair to say that the derby in each country holds a special place in the hearts of its citizens. For this reason, there's even an honorific title for horsegirls, like "Derby Horse."

The saying "Winning the Japanese Derby is equivalent to winning the Classic Triple Crown" is not only circulated among the people. Even the teachers at Tresen College and the coaches who provide basic training for the horse racing girls who have no trainers all emphasize the importance of the Japanese Derby and instill this idea in the horse racing girls.

Now, Cao Shangfei is avoiding the Japanese derby due to injury. This decision has disappointed everyone, and all the firepower and contradictions have naturally shifted to the trainer Kitano.

Things like this... are easy to understand. After all, in a sense, taking the blame on behalf of one's horse girl is also one of the trainer's responsibilities.

No matter what happens to the horse girls during competitions, training, or daily life that causes plans to be shelved, strictly speaking it can be said to be the trainer's dereliction of duty - this is how the trainer's profession is, the ones who achieve success are often the horse girls they are responsible for, and when they suffer setbacks and abuse, it is often directed at them.

However, these are commonplace for the trainers. In other words, which trainer with a little experience in the entire Tresen Academy has not been bombarded by reporters for similar things in the past?

This was just a common experience in his career. Kitano, who had experienced so many rounds, was used to it and did not take it seriously.

For Kitano now, the most important thing is to take good care of Cao Shangfei's condition. The upcoming game arrangements of Qingyun Tiankong and Shengwang Halo are also things that Kitano needs to worry about.

However, after the incident with Cao Shangfei, Kitano seemed to have new troubles from the team...

"Trainer-san! I want to participate in the Japan Derby! Please let me go!"

Sakura Jinwang has been looking for Kitano for who knows how many times, and the incident with Cao Shangfei has only been going on for a few days. Sakura Jinwang seems to have been stimulated by something, and keeps looking for Kitano, saying that he wants to participate in the Japanese Derby.

As for Jin Wang's decision, Kitano naturally couldn't meet her request. After all, what's the difference between asking Sakura Jin Wang to run a middle distance like 2400 meters and asking her to deliver food?

Therefore, Kitano could not possibly agree to Jin Wang's request. When faced with Jin Wang coming to him again, Kitano still said patiently, "Jin Wang, I understand your feelings. I understand your desire to replace Xiaocao in the Japanese Derby, but I will not agree to it."

"This is Xiaokusa's own decision. No one can just go on stage to represent her will. After all, even if she wins, the title of winner of the Japanese Derby will not be transferred to Xiaokusa. Xiaokusa can no longer be the undefeated Triple Crown horse girl and enter the king."

"But to be honest... I didn't have such expectations for Xiaocao in the first place. Now this result already makes me feel very fortunate, King Jin."

Kitano also put down what he was doing. He certainly understood Jin Wang's situation. After all, after Cao Shangfei avoided the Japan Derby due to injury, his reputation in the outside world has not been very good. Some reporters have even begun to criticize him as an "incompetent" trainer.

It's like a necessary part of every episode. But being lambasted by reporters and the media for being incompetent is definitely better than being called "the emperor's butler" or "the overlord's pendant"...

However, although Kitano thought so, the horse racing girls in the team were all very angry when they heard these improper external comments about Kitano.

Represented by the Emperor of the East China Sea, Mi Yu, Bourbon and Shanxin all said that they wanted to debut early and use their victory to teach the reporters outside how to be polite, but they were all persuaded back by Kitano.

However, Sheng Wang and Qing Yun Tian Kong, who had already debuted, were also a little emotional because of this matter. They said that they would participate in the competition immediately, but they had only rested for a month since the end of their debut competition.

For this reason, Kitano coaxed them and added one or two games to their schedule so that they would not be angry about this matter for a while.

However, the Holy King was clearly not so good-tempered when it came to dealing with Kitano. Especially when it came to the people most important to him, being slandered by outsiders was something the Holy King absolutely forbade. For this reason, Kitano had been seeing the Holy King on a daily basis, typing away with a serious or angry expression on his phone, clearly engaged in a daily online altercation.

It's not just Sheng Wang. Good Opera, Aldan, Rudolf, Qi Cao, Bai Ren and others from the student union, and even Special Zhou and Shen Ying who have not yet joined Kitano's team, are all indignant about the outside world's slander against Kitano, and are fighting against the outside public opinion in their own way.

Kitano even heard that those horse racing girls he had helped were also frantically fighting against his detractors online, and even formed a fan club for this purpose... It made Kitano think that he was participating in some kind of fan culture...

However, Kitano did not stop this kind of thing. After all, although he knew that such a thing would happen, he was also a human being. At this time, someone was willing to stand up and speak for him, how could Kitano refuse?

However, facing Sakura Shinou's performance, Kitano had to refuse. Sakura Shinou was extremely confused and said, "Why, Trainer-san! Didn't you tell me that I can run middle distances too? As the grade chairman and a member of the team, I should stand up at a time like this!"

This time, Sakura Shinou was surprisingly adamant about his opinion, and said to Kitano very seriously, "Now I'm the only one in the team who's the Classic Year Horse Girl! I can't just sit there and wait for death!"

"Trainer-san! Please allow me to compete in the Japan Derby! I can dominate at any distance, and I'll definitely win you victory with my explosive power!"

"No, no, Jin Wang, didn't I tell you? If you can run two 2-meter races, it's equivalent to running a 1200-meter Japanese derby. You don't need to participate in the Japanese derby."

Kitano, also feeling a headache, continued to bring out his own theory. However, after a moment of hesitation, Sakura Shinou quickly reacted and immediately retorted, "If that's the case! Doesn't that just mean I can run all the distances?! So without further ado, Trainer-san, please let me participate in the Japan Derby!"

How did this kid get smart? He actually knew about reverse training techniques? Kitano was immediately unable to come up with a better excuse after being refuted by Sakura Shinou. However, he quickly deployed his last trump card – the authority of a trainer.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, King Jin, and go back to training."

"I should go find Xiaocao now. Jin Wang, don't worry. You don't need to use the Japanese Derby to prove anything to me or to the people outside. As long as I know that you can do it, it's fine. So don't worry."

Kitano also rubbed Sakura Shinou's head, and his palm deliberately stayed on Sakura Shinou's forehead, which was slightly wider than that of other horse girls, for a while before he got up to find Kusanagi Fei - Kusanagi Fei has been undergoing rehabilitation training recently, and her condition has improved slightly. Although she can't catch up with the Japanese Derby, for this kind of injury, the sooner she recovers, the better.
