The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

"Also, Mi Yu, your training time today will be cut in half. After the third lap, come down and rest."

"Okay, Brother..."

Mi Yu never lets Bei Ye worry too much. Yesterday's night run made Mi Yu's leg condition a little worse. Fortunately, Bei Ye was able to stop the loss in time. However, training has always been a process of either progress or regression. Therefore, Bei Ye reduced her training volume according to Mi Yu's condition.

As for Kitano's arrangement, the four horse girls didn't say anything, but the Holy King Halo seemed to open his mouth slightly, as if wanting to ask why only Mi Yu's training could be halved, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Maybe she felt that reducing her training was an act of weakness for a top-notch person like her?

Humph, you're feeling sorry for your newly adopted sister now. If she loses to a top-tier me in the trials, I won't show any mercy. Saint King Halo thought so in her heart, but she also knew very well that even if Mi Yu couldn't win the trials, this "kinship" alone would definitely allow her to become a member of Kitano's side.

Although Mi Yu will obviously not be the first to take the lead, this means that Mi Yu has achieved a huge leap forward.

But...what about her?

Saint King Halo felt a little unbalanced. She couldn't understand why a top-notch person like her would have to serve as a sparring partner for this man, and specifically for the horse racing girl he had been entrusted with teaching for a week! And that horse racing girl was a marginal figure in the Mejiro family, whom she looked down upon!

She's got the aura of a Holy King! Everything about her bloodline, family, and horsegirl status is top-notch! Why would she be a sparring partner for this marginal figure from the Mejiro family?

Also, that girl called Mi Yu, who has no bloodline, no family, and not even such first-class looks as her, why can she become that guy's sister? It's a disguised form of internal selection, while she has to compete with a group of horse racing girls who are not worthy of her first-class strength at all!

Even this horse girl named Miura Bourbon, who was born and raised in a similarly ordinary family, was treated better by this guy than by her!

This guy—could it be that he really loves these second-rate horse girls from mediocre backgrounds that much?! And yet he ignores her, the first-rate one?

Saint King Aura felt a little angry thinking this, but when she thought about the email her mother sent her last night and the trials that would start in a few days, her mother might come to the scene to watch her first game.

In this case, she must obey this man's temporary training arrangements. Although Saint King Halo didn't know why she had this feeling, she always felt that under Kitano Ryuichi's training, she might really be able to become stronger at an astonishing speed.

Only in this way can I shine in the selection competition, and only in this way can I convince my mother of the path she has chosen...

——Only in this way can she stand in front of Kitano Ryuichi with dignity and settle the bill with the attitude of a winner. She wants this guy to kneel on one knee in front of her and call her "Your Majesty the Queen"!

"Humph, Kitano Ryuichi, first-rate, I'll remember your name!"

"Just wait, after I triumph completely in this selection, I'm going to use every possible means to give you a good 'torture'. This is punishment for the unfair treatment of a king like me!"

Saint King Halo, who had silently followed the large group, was thinking this in her heart at this moment. She had already thought of the best way to "humiliate" Kitano Ryuichi.

She decided that when the time comes, she would make the man kneel down and call her Her Majesty the Queen while she sprinkled red wine on her stockings and then let the guy lick it clean!

Well, only this method of humiliation is in keeping with her noble family's temperament! It's decided!

Thinking of this, Saint King Halo's mood suddenly improved, and her legs ran forward with a bit more strength and a bit more lightness as her mood recovered. However, she did not forget that she was running with a bad tactic.

Although the man's various behaviors made her unhappy, he was right about one thing. The bad running is indeed the most difficult to master among the four mainstream running methods. It is slower than the kingly way of running first, but much faster than the chasing horse that fully conserves energy and gambles on the final sprint. This is a very difficult running method to master, and it is easy to cause blood loss if you are not careful.

But she is an all-round first-class horse racing girl, and she is adept at the four mainstream running methods. This kind of running method is the first-class and most difficult one that best matches her Saint King aura, and it is a running method belonging to a famous family!

Thinking in this way, Saint King Halo also planned to use this running method to participate in the selection competition. Little did he know that this choice in his heart was exactly what Kitano wanted to see now.

"It seems that the way I spoke yesterday really worked for the Saint King. She's not even trying other running methods now, but is sticking to her most stable running method."

Kitano, who had been observing the team running side by side during training, also nodded. Now, the tactics and strategies of the four horse girls have basically taken shape. This is a good thing. First, determine the direction of your efforts and make sure there are no major problems in the areas you are good at. Only when you have a way to win in the competition can you make up for your shortcomings.

If you can't even find a way to win the game, then no matter how versatile you are, you can only be described as "mediocre". Many horse girls make this mistake, focusing too much on their own balance and thus ignoring the fact that they don't even have the highlights that are enough to win the game.

Speed, endurance, strength, aptitude, intelligence... The Uma Musume mobile game lists out the five most critical points for horse girls to win. For Kitano, although the development of Uma Musume in reality and in the mobile game is completely different, there is one thing that is similar.

That is, it is better to accumulate one attribute to SS than to run a competition with all your attributes being C.

If you don’t have enough speed, you can rely on endurance to run long distances; if you don’t have enough endurance, you can run miles or short distances at a speed; if you don’t have enough strength, you can choose a racecourse that doesn’t require as much strength... To win a competition, you need reasonable planning.

In real life, these things often require a huge team to operate, but here, only the trainer can do these things. This is why Kitano has been rushing for so many rounds, but he can only barely catch up with the talented trainers of Tresen Academy - they are really amazing! One person can do the work of a team, and even have several people take on the role of horse girls! How do they do it?

"It seems like everything here is going in perfect order, Trainer Kitano."

At this moment, the Luduo symbol, who had also arrived at the scene from behind Kitano, approached unnoticed. Maintaining his dignity as an emperor, he said to Kitano without getting too close or crossing the line, "As the student council president, I'm very pleased to see that our new trainer has integrated into the academy so quickly."

"Mr. President, have you been coming to the training ground a little too often lately? Has the Student Union been busy for several days in a row?"

Kitano saw Rudolph coming and thought she was in a good mood. However, when he turned his head to look at Rudolph's face, he was slightly stunned. After a long while, he said, "It doesn't look like you are not busy, President. Although it is important to pay attention to the enthusiasm of the new horse girls in training, making sure you get enough rest is the most important thing."

"You have dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep last night?"

"..." However, Rudolf's face twitched unconsciously when she heard this. Looking at Kitano Ryuichi in front of her, she actually wanted to say that the reason she didn't sleep all night was because of this man.

Why didn't this man come to the izakaya last night? She had hidden her identity and waited in the izakaya all night, but why didn't he come yesterday? She almost drank too much and fell asleep in the izakaya.

After a night of hangover, it was lucky that Rudolph had the energy to get up. However, there was one thing that concerned her the most.

——In the forum of Tresen Academy, there was a news that Mi Yu and her trainer Jun suddenly became "brother and sister". She was very concerned about it. How did this junior who had no intersection with her trainer Jun in her memory suddenly become Kitano's sister?

Rudolph's strong desire to control and possess her trainer made her have an almost twisted desire to control all of Kitano's interpersonal relationships. However, she couldn't expose her thoughts so openly now. She could only ask with a bit of concern and curiosity as the student council president: "I saw on the academy forum today that the relationship between you, Trainer Kitano, and Miyu seems to have changed?"

"Are you and Mi Yu now siblings? With all due respect, Trainer Kitano, there are many such relationships within Tresen Academy. However, most of them are excuses with less than pure motives. For the sake of the academy's reputation, I feel it's necessary to ask. This isn't to question your friendship with Mi Yu, but simply a routine check."

"Could you describe what happened yesterday? Also, what do you think of Mi Yu?"

Chapter 060: Absolutely Impure Brother-Sister Relationship

It must be said that Rudolph's approach was excellent, and he understood Kitano's character perfectly. As a time traveler, Kitano Ryuichi was deeply susceptible to this "official rhetoric," this rhetoric designed to protect Kitano's reputation and influence. This rhetoric, which had been used since Kitano's junior high and high school days to combat premature dating, continued until his time travel. Every time such an excuse was used, it was enough to scare the crap out of him, a student who, aside from poor grades, was considered a good student.

However, such an excuse will certainly not scare Kitano from the nth round now. But it just so happens that Rudolph is Kitano's partner in the first round. She is the first horse girl he is familiar with whom he met in the first round he just traveled through. Kitano even stayed with Rudolph for a long time and witnessed Rudolph's transformation and growth.

Of course, the changes along with the busyness and trivialities of the student union were also very clear. Therefore, even in the following weeks, Kitano was no longer Rudolph's trainer, and he rarely bothered Rudolph.

On the one hand, he himself did not dare to see Rudolph. On the other hand, he had experienced the busyness of the student union, which seemed to have endless affairs to deal with, and he did not want to add more burdens to Rudolph.

Moreover, Tresen Academy does indeed prohibit romance on the surface. This is to prevent excessive emotions from causing uncontrollable effects on the horse girls during competitions and training. Once the horse girls' feelings are hurt, the consequences will be very serious. Although such regulations have almost become exclusive to the horse girls within Tresen Academy, and only the internal trainers still care about it, the external sign still has to be hung.

And strictly speaking, the "brother-sister" relationship doesn't sound problematic at first glance, but it's true that many horse girls and trainers use this relationship as a cover-up...

Simply put, it is an optional brother-sister relationship of "cousins ​​during the day, dead babies at night". Kitano helped Rudolph investigate many similar relationships in the first round.

Of course, this set of ideas is outdated now. Nowadays, horse girls don’t need to find any extra excuses to jump on their trainers. Even trainers dare not provoke their own horse girls, for fear that they will be tied up somewhere and jumped on by their horses.

The man was tied up in the morning, the horse jumped at noon, the man was taken away in the afternoon, and left in the evening - this set of procedures is now very familiar to the trainers of Tresen Academy, as if everyone has been to the hospital several times...

Kitano always wondered if the current Tresen Academy was so different from his first playthrough memory, that with each new playthrough, Tresen Academy was becoming a little more like Trep...

This has gone off topic, but now, Rudolph asked about the changes in the relationship between Kitano and Miyu, which was just routine business, and Kitano had nothing to hide from Rudolph. After all, he was well aware of Rudolph's clear distinction between public and private affairs.

"Actually, it was last night. I was planning to go to an izakaya for a drink, but I accidentally discovered this kid running in the middle of the night. He was exercising a little too much. I happen to know a little bit about massage, and it was too late, so I let this kid do a massage in my dorm for the time being."

"Last night? In your dorm? Massage?"

Rudolph also quickly caught a few key words in Kitano's words. However, the more she repeated them, the more she felt the fire in her heart rise even higher. By the last word, it was more like she was about to "shout" out rather than "say".

Even now, she had never been to the trainer's dormitory! How dare that little girl—but Rudolph still controlled himself very well. Kitano also noticed the shock in Rudolph's words and quickly said, "I guarantee on my reputation that it was really just a massage, nothing out of the ordinary!"

"Although it's a bit rude, I'm still a virgin. If Mi Yu and I had done anything yesterday, I'm afraid we wouldn't have left the dormitory before noon!"

Kitano, a virgin, obviously has no clear understanding of "horse jump". Although he has rich theoretical experience, a virgin with zero practical experience is very scary - especially for someone like Kitano who has been a virgin for n rounds. If he didn't have a moral conscience to support himself, I'm afraid the first thing he would do after getting his salary would be to visit the unique cos horse girl customs office in this world, but he has never done so.

After hearing Kitano's explanation, Luduo's expression calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even after she heard the word "virgin", her tail swung a few times happily.

She really didn't know this. Even in her previous memories, Rudolph had never asked Kitano this question. After all, in her impression, a middle-aged man of Kitano's age at that time could not be called a virgin. Although Kitano didn't have any bad habits, based on her understanding of her trainer, a man like him, even if his abilities were a little mediocre, would not be disliked by others just because of his personality and face.

There were even many people who were attracted by the old man's style of her trainer at that time... For example, Qi Cao and Bai Ren... When Rudolf thought of this, his eyes narrowed slightly again, and he felt a little more resentful towards his two vice presidents.

But... that horse girl named Mi Yu actually entered her trainer's dormitory and asked the trainer to give her a massage...

It's really enviable - so dirty.

"And then?" Rudolph continued.

"And then... maybe it was because the child had accumulated too much pressure, or maybe it was because children with low self-esteem always feel dependent on those who treat them well, so naturally, I became Mi Yu's big brother."

When Kitano thought about what happened last night, he felt a little emotional. This title was originally a rather intimate name that Miyu called him, replacing the title of "trainer". Every time he was called "Brother", Kitano felt very comfortable in his heart. As an only child like him, what he liked most was a cute and non-troublesome sister.

"I know that people might be discussing Mi Yu and I's current relationship... I just didn't expect that you, the president, would be called out for questioning. It seems like the problem is quite serious."

"But don't worry, I will explain the relationship between Mi Yu and me on the forum and try my best not to bring trouble to the reputation of Tresen Academy."

"That's good." Rudolph nodded after hearing this. She had a rough idea in her mind and she also agreed with Kitano's way of handling the matter. After all, even if she didn't consider the reputation of the academy, she was already upset when she saw the news about Mi Yu and Kitano on the forum.

But... this child named Mi Yu really should not be underestimated. Rudolph thought so in her heart. In her heart, she probably regarded Mi Yu as her key observation object.

Now it seemed that his trainer might really have considered Miyu a sister, but just thinking about how fragile this close yet non-blood-related "brother-sister" relationship was, one could easily see how volatile it was. A pair who had never grown up together easily sparked a romance between them, and that couldn't be explained by anything other than a sibling relationship.

This child named Mi Yu's thoughts...are definitely more than just "brother and sister," right? Rudolph thought to himself, and the smile on his face turned a little colder.

At this moment, a small figure quietly appeared behind the two of them. The petite horse girl in sportswear tiptoed towards Kitano's back and slowly extended a finger.

"Trainer Kitano!"

"Huh?" The sudden voice behind him startled Kitano, but when he turned around subconsciously, a finger was pressing against his face, creating a deep dimple on his profile.

A unique Japanese way of joking appeared. Kitano also found it a little funny when he saw it, but fortunately he also saw who was behind it.

"Mr. Donghai Emperor, you seem to be in high spirits, don't you?"

"Of course! The trials will begin soon, and Your Majesty, I'm in top form!"

Behind Kitano and Rudolph was the Emperor of the East Sea. After the little prank, the Emperor of the East Sea proudly stood in front of Kitano and said angrily, "I am ready to defeat all the horse girls and win the competition fairly! Trainer Kitano!"

"I heard that a lot of people will be coming to watch this tryout. Of course I can't lose to the invincible emperor!"

Now, the more people come to watch the trials, the more excited the emperor becomes. She has already planned to win the competition with an overwhelming momentum in front of everyone, and then become Kitano's official horse girl in good faith!

I even heard that people from the president's family and McQueen's family would be there! The Emperor of the East Sea could no longer hold back and showed off her skills and strength in front of everyone.

Chapter 061: The East China Sea Emperor’s “Straight Confession”?

"There will be spectators in this selection competition?" This was the first time Kitano heard this news. He thought that this kind of competition was at most a small-scale competition within the school. Now it has expanded to the outside world?

"That's natural. After all, it was just a simple school competition at the beginning. But, um... because of what you said before, Trainer Kitano, now almost all the horse racing girls in the middle school are involved in this selection. The nature of this competition has long since changed."

Upon hearing this, Luduo nodded and said to Kitano in a joking tone, "Although most of the horse girls at Tresen Academy are still born in relatively ordinary families, there are still many from prominent families. However, being born into a prominent family means that they have an advantage at the starting point, but it does not mean that they are closer to the finish line."

"There are many horse racing girls like Mejiro Zenshin, born into wealthy families but with mediocre talent. They originally just planned to spend their days and study at Tresen College, and running an OP or GIII race would be considered a success. Now, because of your words, they are participating in this selection."

"This selection is no longer just a simple competition. It's a counterattack by the 'mediocre' horse racing girls against the talented ones. They want to give it their all. Even if it means taking a bite out of those high-ranking talented horse racing girls, it counts as a counterattack."

"And the emperor who joined the competition this time... it can be said that he was the target of public criticism from the very beginning."

"Hehe, but Your Majesty, I'm not afraid!" The Emperor of the East China Sea didn't show any fear upon hearing this. Instead, he said with great energy, "I'm very strong! And I will definitely win this qualifying tournament! Trainer Kitano, just get ready to watch. Your Majesty, I will definitely win the championship in front of everyone's eyes!"

"Come to think of it, Your Majesty, I still don't know why you are so determined to become my Uma Musume."

But the emperor's words reminded Kitano of a doubt he had before. Kitano suspected that the emperor was inspired by someone to come to him so enthusiastically and wanted him to be her trainer.

Kitano didn't think that his personal charm was that great. He and the Emperor of the East China Sea had really no intersection before, and the timing of the Emperor of the East China Sea coming to him was also very abrupt. He also knew very well that many talented predecessors had tried to invite the Emperor of the East China Sea before, but they all failed without exception.

Kitano didn't think that there was anything about him that would attract the Emperor of the East China Sea. He also suspected that it might be Rudolf's instigation. After all, the Emperor of the East China Sea listened to Rudolf very much. But Kitano couldn't figure out what motive Rudolf had for doing this, so he ruled out Rudolf's suspicion.

And now it just so happens that Rudolf and the emperor are both present, and Kitano is planning to resolve his doubts.

When Kitano said this, the expressions of the Emperor of the East China Sea and Rudolf froze for a moment. The Emperor subconsciously glanced at Rudolf beside him, and Rudolf shook his head slightly, signaling the Emperor not to tell the truth.

The Emperor nodded immediately, then said to Kitano with a mysterious smile: "Hehe, this is a secret, Trainer Kitano--"

"Then I will insist on being a decryptor today, Mr. Emperor. This excuse won't work with me."

But Kitano was determined to make the Emperor explain the reason. He vaguely felt that there was more to the story than meets the eye. The Emperor's sudden application to join the team, and the increasingly intense trials, all seemed to indicate that someone was fanning the flames.

Although Kitano is still unclear about the other party's motives, he does not intend to be a fool who knows nothing.

"If you don't tell me the truth, Teiou-san, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your application to join the team. Even if you win the trials, I still have the right to refuse your application. I won't allow a horse girl who has reservations about her trainer to join the team, especially since we need to trust each other for the next three years."

"Dishonesty between us will only create estrangement. Therefore, please forgive me for not accepting this statement. Please tell me the truth."

"Huh? Huh?"

Faced with Kitano Ryuichi's sudden seriousness, the Emperor of the East Sea realized that his previous excuse was no longer valid. The Emperor, still a child after all, subconsciously turned his gaze towards Rudolph. This time, Kitano noticed the Emperor's obvious tilt of his head, also looking towards Rudolph.

But Rudolph concealed it very well. This time, she did not make any move. She just smiled faintly and said to the emperor: "It's okay, Emperor. Just tell me the truth."

——Although the president said so, it still felt like she couldn't tell the truth! And the East Sea Emperor was such a smart child, just by observing his words and expressions, she knew she shouldn't tell the truth, especially since Rudolph had already warned her not to tell the truth.

But if she didn't tell the truth, wouldn't that mean she was lying? The Emperor of the East China Sea didn't want to lie, but he couldn't think of a good excuse for the time being. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and stammered, unable to speak.

"me……"

Sure enough, someone was instigating this! The Emperor's reaction only made Kitano more resolute in his thoughts. Although Kitano didn't know the purpose of the person who instigated the Emperor to join the team, Kitano would not allow a "spy" to appear in his team, especially when the other party's purpose was unclear.

Although the Emperor of the East China Sea would never do anything bad, and would not accept it if that person had any extremely bad intentions, Kitano would not allow the horse racing girls in his team to face any potential danger.

"Tell the truth quickly, my Lord. I am waiting to hear it."

"that--"

What should I do? The Emperor of the East China Sea was sweating profusely and looked at Rudolph. However, Rudolph was indifferent at this moment and could not give the Emperor any advice.
