The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

The strongest memories that came to mind... the dream of winning the Triple Crown, and under the guidance of her master, she began to overcome her endurance weaknesses and the defect of being born with a short waist (a short waist is considered a characteristic of short-distance racehorses), and accepted the brutal training tailored for her.

After finishing training again and again, she was tired and accepted the wholehearted care of her master. She still remembered that Kitano massaged her again and again when she was tired, and even helped her make recipes again and again.

When she asked for more training, Kitano would persuade her, but if she insisted, she would be scolded - the master was always overly worried that she would get hurt, even the slightest bit.

Although it was a rebuke, Bourbon's heart was extremely warm. Her expression was very calm, but that did not mean that her emotions were also calm. On the contrary, she was a girl with very rich emotions and delicate mind.

Therefore, she secretly made up her mind at that time that she must realize her dream of becoming a Triple Crown Horse Girl. If for no other reason than to repay her master's expectations and hard work, she must win.

Miura Bourbon still remembers the joy she felt when she won her first match, the first time she was held in her master's arms.

She still remembers the joy she felt when she won the Gaoyue Sho and the Japan Derby without a loss and was just one step away from her dream.

At that time, Miura Bourbon secretly made up her mind that if she could become the next undefeated triple champion, then... she would no longer hide her feelings, and she would tell her master about her feelings.

Of course, all of this became an obsessive pursuit. Now that he had this opportunity again, Miura Bourbon once again kept this thought in his heart and did not express it.

But if you ask Miura Bourbon now what was the reason she fell in love with her master, Miura Bourbon would answer without hesitation.

——From the very beginning, Kitano Ryuichi chose her and did not question her dream of becoming a Triple Crown horse girl. He did not despise her mediocre bloodline. The moment he believed that she could do it, she had already fallen in love with him.

Miura Bourbon would always remember Kitano Ryuichi's look that day. He didn't show any disdain for her, despite her ordinary background. Instead, he looked at her as if he had discovered the most beautiful jewel in the world. He smiled and replied, "Then, let's work towards this goal together, Miura Bourbon."

"Although there's not much I can do, I will support you until the day your dream comes true."

Yes, that gentle, trusting look was the most beautiful sight Bourbon Miura had ever seen.

——Just like now, Kitano Ryuichi in front of Miura Bourbon.

"Master..."

"Finally, I found you..."

When the name was softly called out again, this time, tears sparkled in Miura Bourbon's eyes, but the expression on her face was a happy and satisfied smile.

Originally, Miura Bourbon was still worried that although she was lucky enough to have the memories of the past this time, the person in her memory might still be him. After all, to her, this was another world, and it would be normal if some details of the people in it changed.

Originally, Bourbon Miura was still struggling with the question of whether Kitano Ryuichi would still be the one she loved if he changed. But now, Bourbon no longer has this dilemma.

She was already certain that this was the person she was looking for, the master she loved deeply!

He hasn't changed at all. He is still the same him, the one who doesn't discriminate against mediocre people, the one who doesn't laugh at those who work hard, the one who cares for her wholeheartedly, works hard for her, and gives everything for her. The one she loves deeply!

She found him, she finally found him again.

For a moment, Miura Bourbon's heart beat very fast, and her cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. One of her hands involuntarily touched her chest where her heart was beating.

Calm down, calm down... Miura Bourbon, the master is right in front of you now, he will not run away. She has her own greatest advantage. Even if the master seems to have become a little more popular in this world, she still has a way to make the master fall in love with her.

The first step is to win the first victory in this qualifying tournament. No matter who is blocking him, even if it is the Emperor of the East China Sea, Miura Bourbon believes that he can win.

"Master, you are mine... No matter where you go, Miura Bourbon will find you."

There was a frightening stubbornness flickering in Miura Bourbon's eyes, and she whispered a possessiveness that was terrifying enough to make people afraid, but she hid it all very well.

……

"If I put it this way, Mr. Emperor, you should understand, right?"

Kitano Ryuichi is not a person who likes to preach big principles, because everyone understands big principles, and everyone can be a moral role model when they want to. It just depends on the occasion and whether the opportunity can be seized.

Kitano is a mediocre person, at least that's what he thinks. He also has a clear understanding of his own position. He is a mediocre person, and is destined to stand on the same front as the ordinary majority. How can he have the right to discriminate against those ordinary people? He himself is also a member of this group.

If he worked hard, he would never be able to meet an ordinary horse racing girl in Tresen Academy in his entire life. How could he have the right to be picky?

Therefore, he took care of every horse girl he took over with all his heart. During the countless rounds, he experienced history again and again as if he were an eyewitness. He could understand more and more that compared to the truly talented horse girls, those horse girls who came from ordinary backgrounds but were qualified to run with those geniuses were all worthy of respect.

Miura Bourbon, Oguruma, Tamamo Cross, Qingyun Sky... Each of them has broken through the limitations of their own bloodline and reached heights that countless talented horse girls have never achieved.

They are truly the most admirable beings. That's why Kitano said that he wouldn't open a special green channel for the East China Sea Emperor just because she is a genius.

If the efforts of those so-called "mediocrities" are ignored just because she is a genius, it is not fair and is not Kitano Ryuichi's style. Deep down, he still stands on the side of the so-called "mediocrities".

This is also the reason why Kitano Ryuichi encouraged Mejiro Zenshin to persevere. Although Zenshin has excellent bloodline, he has not been able to find his own talent. Therefore, Kitano hopes that this horse girl who considers herself mediocre can continue to run.

"I...seem to understand."

The Emperor of the East China Sea murmured to himself when he heard this, but after a while, the light in his eyes became more and more obvious, and his eyes, which originally had some pride, began to seriously examine Kitano Ryuichi.

As expected, what the president said was right, this trainer is really different.

But because of this, the East Sea Emperor, who had originally only been eager to carry out Rudolph's orders, now began to sincerely hope that Kitano Ryuichi would be her trainer. She realized that Kitano was indeed the special trainer she had been looking for and longing for, just as Rudolph's symbol said.

Since she has to participate in the competition to become his horse girl, then she shouldn't use any backdoors and should just participate in the competition honestly, right?

But don’t think that the Emperor of the East China Sea only knows how to use backdoors. When it comes to competition, she is not afraid of anyone!

The Emperor of the East Sea raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a serious tone, "So, as long as Your Majesty wins the selection competition like everyone else, I can openly become Trainer Kitano's horse girl, right?"

"Alright! Trainer Kitano! I'll do as you said and participate in the trials like everyone else! When I win, I'll make you admit with your own mouth that the Emperor is your number one horse girl!"

"That's it! Pre-Trainer-kun! Thank you for telling me this. I'm going to go train now! Bye!"

Finally, the Emperor of the East China Sea also left the scene with laughter and joy. She was now going to find the Luduo symbol. She wanted to tell the president that she had found the trainer she was looking for!

"The president will definitely be very happy, right?" The East Sea Emperor thought so, and the joy in his heart could no longer be controlled, and his steps became a little lighter.

Looking at the back of the East China Sea Emperor as he left, Kitano felt relieved. However, when he cast his gaze on the Holy King's halo beside him, he found that the young lady was also in a daze for some reason.

"Mr. Sheng Wang?"

"Eh? I—have nothing!"

But for some reason, when Kitano's whispered reminder came to her mind, Saint King Halo reacted subconsciously, but her pretty face turned red strangely, and she stood up without saying a word.

"I, I'm full, it's time to go now!"

Saint King Halo fled without even touching a single bite of his food. Kitano reached out his hand, wanting to say something, but then, staring at Saint King Halo's back, he muttered to himself, as if understanding something, "So... that's settled, right? It seems like in the future, my team might have more than just one horse girl."

It’s just... Saint King Halo’s current attitude... Kitano can be sure that Saint King Halo has no memory of the past. The attitude of this tsundere young lady is too easy to recognize.

He was saying, he'd already restarted the game, how could Uma Musume still have past memories? It hadn't happened in all the previous rounds, so it definitely couldn't happen this time.

Thinking of this, Kitano was completely relieved. He felt that this week's life might have a better future than any previous one.

Chapter 039: The Holy King Halo Will Never Surrender

Saint King Halo ran away because she still had self-esteem, and it was quite high. If she didn't want Kitano Ryuichi and others to discover that she was so dazed that her heart was beating extremely fast, then running away would not be considered a shameful act.

Saint King Halo ran all the way to the dormitory building, ignoring the several horse girls around her who wanted to call out to her. She just wanted to get to a closed environment as soon as possible before her face turned red enough to bleed.

If Saint King Halo were to test her own performance now, she would find that she had never been able to run the distance from the cafeteria back to the dormitory in her previous competitions. But now, she didn't know whether it was because of excessive embarrassment that her potential was unleashed, or whether she really had a talent for long-distance running. In short, she ran all the way to the dormitory at a performance and speed that she would never have dared to imagine.

"Bang!" Accompanied by a loud noise from the dormitory door, Saint King Halo hid in his quilt without even taking off his shoes, covering himself completely, leaving only a happy tail wagging outside.

“Woo-woooooo!!”

"That, that third-rate guy! What big talk! If that's the case, then I, a first-rate guy, will have to participate in this tryout? Otherwise, won't I be at a disadvantage?!"

"Just a third-rate person—just a third-rate person! Damn it!!"

The aura of the Holy King that covered her in the quilt made it impossible for her to speak out her true feelings even if she was the only one to speak at this moment. The real reason that made her face turn red and she was now ashamed was not this at all.

Saint King Halo probably forgot that she was the one who instigated the selection competition. She was the one who issued the challenge, so there was no way she wouldn't participate.

Moreover, she had no intention of losing this game from the beginning, because as the challenger, if she couldn't win this game, it would damage her first-class reputation. But she also didn't plan to join Tou Kitano's team and become his first horse girl after winning.

Winning was just for proof, while refusing was to maintain her first-class figure - Saint King Halo thought for a whole night before coming up with such a good idea. She was so happy for a long time that she almost didn't get enough sleep the whole night.

But now, Saint King Halo felt that his purpose had undergone some subtle changes... After listening to Kitano Ryuichi's previous words, even Saint King Halo had to admit that Kitano's mind and awareness were "worthy of being first-class".

"But, but that's not enough... To become a trainer for my Holy King Halo, you have to be a top-notch person in every aspect!"

"I wouldn't choose that guy as my trainer so easily. It's not that easy..."

Saint King Halo muttered to herself in bed, but her voice became smaller as she spoke, as if she was feeling guilty. In a place where she couldn't notice, her tail, which seemed to have lost control, began to wag happily like a puppy, and she looked very happy.

But... what's going on? Why... even though I'm first-rate in everything from bloodline to abilities, when I hear that person praising a "mediocrities"... I feel a surge of emotion and pride...

Why am I so happy about this? I'm definitely not one of the "mediocrities"...

"Holy King's aura! An extremely powerful final kick! Victory over the Takamatsunomiya Memorial! Grab the first GI of my career!"

"What a hard-won victory! The last member of the Golden Generation finally won his first GI victory. The wait has been so long."

"Oh, the Holy King Halo seems to have reacted! We saw it! The Holy King Halo is waving in the direction of her trainer! She seems very happy."

……

"what."

However, after a moment of trance, Saint King Halo suddenly came back to her senses and immediately poked her head out from the stuffy quilt. She was sweating profusely and almost suffocated in the stuffy quilt. At that moment, she seemed to have some kind of hallucination before her eyes...

"Is it an illusion?" Saint King Halo was sweating profusely and covering her forehead while panting. She always felt that the moment was not an illusion, otherwise why would it feel so clear?

But, I hadn't participated in the Takamatsu Palace Memorial, so why did this scene suddenly appear? And in the scene, I had just won my first GI?

"Perhaps I'm overthinking this?" Saint King Halo thought so, but for some reason, he felt curious about the figure of the "trainer" that appeared in his hallucination, and at the same time, he seemed a little familiar...

But before Saint King Halo could think about this problem, a noise from the dormitory door attracted her attention. After a while, she saw a cute horse girl with pink hair, a petite figure, and eyes with pink cherry blossom-like reflections, entering the room full of energy.

"Seiko-kun! Ulala has some really good news! Do you want to hear it?"

"Classmate Ulala..." When Saint King Halo saw her roommate, even a proud girl like her couldn't help but be infected by this girl's beauty. She smiled gently and said, "What's the news? I hope it's not class gossip. I've heard enough of it."

Haru Ulala, a horse girl recognized by Tresen Academy as being very pure and beautiful, has a face and an innocent personality that makes no one want to hurt her. She is also the "Unbeatable Legend" of Tresen Academy - that is the literal meaning. With Ulala's level, it is really impossible for her to defeat any horse girl in Tresen Academy.

But even so, Ulala has always maintained a seemingly endless enthusiasm and has been running hard. This character has infected many horse racing girls in Tresen College. Therefore, Ulala has always been well taken care of by everyone in Tresen College - except during competitions.

Even the self-proclaimed first-rate Saint King Halo couldn't harbor any hostility towards a "mediocrity" like Ulala. Seeing Ulala's ever-present smile, Saint King Halo's mood brightened considerably.

Ulala-san’s refusal to give up... looks a bit like that third-rate guy - wait, why did I suddenly think of that guy again?

"No! It's news about the competition!" Ulala obviously didn't notice the subtle change in Saint King's expression, and continued to say with joy, "Did Saint King know? The academy is holding a special selection competition for new trainers! A lot of people are participating!"

"Idiot, that was yesterday's news. Classmate Ulala, you are too slow to react." Saint King Halo laughed a few times when she heard that. She thought it was some news. Ulala probably didn't know that this matter started because of her?

"Huh? Was it yesterday's news?" Ulala was a little surprised when she heard this, but she continued smiling as she said, "But there's more! I heard that the trainer just rejected Donghai Emperor's invitation, saying that he wanted to ensure a fair competition for everyone!"

"Some classmates even recorded a video and posted it on the forum. Did you know about this, Sheng Wang?"

"I also know about this. Really, those guys who love to watch the fun." Saint King Halo was silent for a while after hearing this. Although she knew that this matter would definitely become a hot topic on the forum, she did not expect it to spread so quickly.

Humph, that guy must be brimming with pride right now, right? He's now the savior of all the second-rate horse girls at Tresen Academy. I'm afraid there are even horse girls begging him to be their trainer, right?

But she is not one of those second-rate people. She has to win on her own, otherwise what kind of victory is it?

"Everyone's been talking about this. Trainer Kitano, everyone says he's a really nice guy."

Ulala said this with a look of longing on her face, which made Saint King Halo feel a little strange. The next moment, Ulala said innocently, "Ulala has decided! Ulala is also going to participate in the trials! This way, as long as she wins, she can become Kitano's trainer, the horse girl!"

"Absolutely not!"

However, as soon as Ulala said this, Saint King Halo stood up from the bed and shouted almost as if it was a conditioned reflex. Her shout scared Ulala. Saint King Halo looked at the stunned Ulala in front of her and quickly replied, "Well, Ulala... I think it's better to think carefully about it. I've met that guy before, and he's not a particularly outstanding one. If the trainer you choose is not first-rate, wouldn't it be a disgrace to me, a first-rate trainer?"

"Trust me, Ulala, let me, First-Class, explore that guy's team for a while. If I, First-Class, think this guy is really suitable, then I will definitely introduce Ulala to join."

"Yes! Ulala knows!" Ulala, who was a pure and innocent being, immediately believed the serious illness of the Holy King's halo painting and said with a smile: "Student Shengwang is such a good person!"

"Ahahaha... yes, yes..."

Saint King Halo also laughed awkwardly when she heard this, but she didn't know that when she heard Ulala say that she wanted to join Kitano's team, she almost had cardiopulmonary arrest.

Absolutely, we cannot let that guy get in touch with Ulala-san… This is what Saint King Halo thought in his heart.

These two guys are so similar. If Ulala joins, she will definitely be addicted to the bad guy!

He can't even think of touching a hair on Ulala unless he can get past me first!

Chapter 040: Mubai Ryan adds fuel to the fire

"That's... surprising. Shanxin's trainer is truly an interesting person."

The speed of information transmission in modern society is unimaginable even for modern people. The news that Kitano was invited by the Emperor of the East China Sea to be her trainer in the cafeteria today but was rejected spread throughout the entire Tresen Academy almost instantly.

As the protagonist of this incident, Kitano Ryuichi, had just become a celebrity at Tresen Academy after the academy held a special selection competition for his position as a horse girl.

And this time, compared to everyone's astonishment and speculation about the selection event, there is no doubt that Kitano Ryuichi's reputation has been directly reversed in Tresen College, especially the horse racing girls. Their views and perceptions of Kitano Ryuichi have been completely reversed in almost half a day.

This is thanks to an unknown person who anonymously released the video taken in the cafeteria of Kitano Ryuichi saying that "fair competition" and "everyone is equal regardless of talent" when he rejected the invitation of the East China Sea Emperor. For many mediocre horse racing girls in Tresen Academy, where talent and achievement are the default criteria for ranking, it was as if they had spoken their true feelings and touched their hearts.

Almost every horse racing girl who can enter the Central Tresen Academy has reached the top level among Japanese horse racing girls. It can be said that no matter how ordinary a horse racing girl is in Tresen Academy, she is still far beyond the reach of those horse racing girls in other places.

However, the higher the level, the more serious the stratification. A tiny difference in talent and ability will often lead to a huge gap over time. Many times, the gap between people is often greater than that between people and dogs. The same is true at Tresen College.
