The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

——It was Flying on the Grass, and the Holy King Halo! Both horse girls saw the opportunity at this moment and unleashed their last kicks!

Chapter 107: Why does running seem like you have a deep hatred?

The Emperor of the East China Sea had never thought that the Saint King Halo and Cao Shangfei would become her biggest enemies as soon as they appeared in the first round, because in the subconscious of the Emperor of the East China Sea, she still looked down on the Saint King Halo and Cao Shangfei.

Don't get me wrong, this "disdain" does not mean that the Emperor of the East China Sea despises the two girls, but because the Emperor of the East China Sea feels that if it is a one-on-one race, the speed of the two girls will never be so close to his. Her invincible "Emperor's Dance" and her average speed when she is in full physical strength are naturally a level higher than most horse girls. It can be said to be a unique talent.

Moreover, the middle distance of 2000 meters is one of the distances that the East China Sea Emperor is best at. In other words, as long as you are not competing in events that start at 3000 meters, such as the Chrysanthemum Appreciation and the Spring Emperor Appreciation, they are all child's play for the current level of the East China Sea Emperor.

The emperor's endurance is not particularly outstanding, but the natural propulsion brought by the "Emperor's Dance" allows the emperor to expend less physical energy in exchange for faster advancement.

Although it may seem that each stride only advanced a little further than most horse girls, from the very beginning of the race, the Emperor's advantage would snowball, and by the time the other horse girls realized they no longer had the stamina to keep up with the East Sea Emperor's momentum, it was already too late.

Of course, the "Emperor's Dance" of the Emperor of the East China Sea is not invincible. First of all, the emperor himself is weak in physical fitness, weak in confrontation and consumption. She is a truly technical horse racing girl.

As the saying goes, a powerful force can break ten clever moves. The Emperor is actually very afraid of horse girls who are good at physical things, especially at distances that are not conducive to their performance. Those horse girls who can close the gap with just the last kick are simply the Emperor's nemesis.

However, this is also the reason why the Emperor of the East China Sea feels that he can rest assured about this competition, because even though she is a technical horse racing girl, among such a large number of new horse racing girls, she has the advantage of having started school a long time ago. In terms of physical fitness, she is considered to be very good among these new horse racing girls, and in terms of skills, she is far ahead of them.

And what physical strength did the new horse girls have? Even the few who had risen through the ranks and gone through early training in the local areas weren't even comparable to her. And without the threat of the physically demanding horse girls, wouldn't she, the Emperor, be able to easily win?

——However, this scene now completely shattered the naive idea of ​​the Emperor of the East China Sea. When Cao Shangfei and Saint King Halo chased him one after another, the Emperor of the East China Sea finally understood what the real "last leg" meant.

……

“Roar!!”

The Holy King Halo roared on the final straight, 600 meters away from the finish line, and unleashed its last trump card - just as Kitano had told her before, her last trump card was her most reliable weapon, and now, the Holy King Halo once again felt its own power.

Holy King Halo's endurance is not excellent, but with proper planning, her physical fitness can burst out with power that is not inferior to any physical horse girl. This middle distance race is not her forte, but fortunately, the distance of 2000 meters does not make her feel so far away.

Therefore, the Holy King, who saw from the beginning that Mejiro Zenshin's goal was to disrupt the rhythm of the entire field, did not choose to speed up like the others. She knew that her endurance was not an advantage, so she stayed at the back of the team, waiting for the opportunity.

And now, the opportunity has finally come! Saint King Halo put all her energy into the final 600-meter sprint, but what she didn't expect was that the person she was fighting against was actually Cao Shangfei.

Even though he didn't say it, he already considered Kusagami Hibi his friend. That gentle and elegant Kusagami Hibi, like a Yamato Nadeshiko! He actually went all out on the field for that guy's "number one" position!

At this moment, Saint King Halo finally understood that what Cao Shangfei said in the tunnel before the game started was not a joke. She was really aiming for that guy's number one position!

At this moment, the Holy King felt a strange sadness in his heart, as if he had been betrayed. The person he had always thought would support him was now standing against him.

But even so, the grief and anger in her heart turned into motivation to move forward for the Holy King Halo. She gritted her teeth and fixed her eyes on the position of Qingyun Tiankong in front of her - now, Qingyun Tiankong was still leading the whole field.

"Cao Shangfei, Qingyun-san...why are you both standing against me now?"

"I thought... you guys would support me, but I didn't expect that when we got to the competition, you'd actually compete with me for that position. Are you going to compete with me?"

The sadness in the Saint King's heart lasted only a moment. The next moment, as she clenched her teeth, a blood-red light flashed in her pupils, and she roared in her heart with murderous intent: "Then, let's give it a try!"

"That's a position in the eyes of a first-class king! Not just anyone can get their hands on it! Even you guys are no match for that!"

No one is allowed to stand in the way of the top-notch king! Not even Cao Shangfei! Not even Qingyun!

The angry emotion and resentful look conveyed by the Holy King's halo at this moment were naturally sensed by Cao Shangfei. However, Cao Shangfei felt a little bitter in his heart at this moment, but he couldn't express his pain.

To be honest, she really didn't want to grab the position, but the malice conveyed by Sheng Wang now made Cao Shangfei even more certain that Sheng Wang must have developed a good impression of Trainer Kitano, so he tried his best to win, and even became hostile to her and Qingyun for this.

After all, they were good friends, and no one wanted to see them competing for a position. But what could Cao Shangfei do? She couldn't convince either Saint King or Qingyun Tiankong to give up...

After all, Cao Shangfei also knew that Qingyun definitely wanted the position of "number one". She had finally met a trainer she liked, a trainer who didn't care about bloodline or birth, and who treated even a racehorse girl with inferior blood like her fairly. For such a trainer's "number one" position, what qualifications did Cao Shangfei have to persuade her not to compete?

But is it easy for Sheng Wang? A horse girl with a troublesome personality like her finally found a trainer who could tolerate her and guide her correctly. How could she possibly give up?

Cao Shangfei knew that he could not persuade his two friends, let alone stop them. No matter who won the position, the other one would leave sadly, and their friendship might even be divided into two parts with an insurmountable gap.

Cao Shangfei didn't want to see her two friends' friendship break up because of this incident, so she stepped onto the field, hoping to stop it.

If either Sheng Wang or Qing Yun got this position, they would feel uncomfortable—then why not let her take it! Then she would try to convince Trainer Kitano to let Sheng Wang and Qing Yun join the team!

This was the best solution Cao Shangfei could think of. It was a win-win situation. Although she didn't value this position that much, and she didn't have such a strong obsession with Bei Ye, if it was for the sake of their friendship... she was willing to be a "traitor" who would be regarded as hostile for a while.

With this thought in mind, Cao Shangfei also suppressed the sadness of being hated in her heart, and replaced it with a strong desire to win - she tried her best to treat everyone as just a strong opponent, so that she could run without any personal emotions.

——But, Sheng Wang's last kick is really fast! Was she such an explosive horse girl in the past?

Cao Shangfei gritted her teeth slightly as she watched the Holy King's Halo, which was originally a little behind her, approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye. This surprised Cao Shangfei, whose sprint speed had always been fast. She had never seen the Holy King's Halo with such a strong desire to win!

However, at this moment, compared to Cao Shangfei's surprise, the other horse girl was more shocked.

"How come you are so fast!" The Emperor of the East China Sea only felt that Cao Shangfei and the Saint King's Halo were getting closer and closer to her. She had obviously sprinted with all her strength, but she still could not change the current situation of Cao Shangfei and the Saint King's Halo approaching her aggressively.

Both games were won easily, so the Emperor of the East China Sea, who had looked down on the horse girls in the same game, felt for the first time that the power that these horse girls could unleash might be much stronger than she had imagined.

They possessed a strange obsession, a determination as desperate as death, that baffled the Emperor of the East Sea. What on earth were they running for? Was there some deep-seated grudge?

Chapter 108: Rudolph: My trainer has grown up and is now in tears

"The situation is getting tense! Saint King Halo and Cao Shangfei are advancing in tandem! The East Sea Emperor's advantage is being surpassed! The lead of Qingyun Tiankong and Miura Bourbon ahead is also shrinking!"

"This is truly amazing! Even though they're just fresh-faced new horse girls, I see rising stars in them! All the horse girls competing in this final will surely shine brightly in the future!"

On the commentary stand, Qian Ming was so excited that she even forgot her job of commentating on the game and just couldn't help but retell everything that happened on the field.

However, nowadays, everyone basically doesn't pay attention to what's happening on the commentary side. The competition for the final 600 meters has begun, and the situation is becoming increasingly intense. Regardless of whether they are leading or chasing at the beginning, the distance between all the horse girls is constantly narrowing. In this race, there is bound to be no big difference. In the end, the gap between the horse girls will only be a neck or a neck.

As Lu Duo watched the Saint King's Aura and Cao Shangfei approaching the East Sea Emperor, she showed a rare bit of anxiety. She frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "Oh no... The Emperor's rhythm was completely disrupted by Mejiro Zenshin. She should have been able to burst out in the last 600 meters, but she used up a lot of energy trying to keep up with Mejiro Zenshin, and now she doesn't have enough energy left for a sprint."

"I'm afraid she will miss out on victory in this match, unless the Emperor can unleash a power that surpasses her current limits."

But expecting a miracle was unrealistic. Lu Duo knew this very well, which was why she began to feel pessimistic about the outcome of this competition.

What Rudolf didn't expect was that the person who would influence the direction of this game would be Mejiro Yoshinobu, the marginal figure of the Mejiro family. Even Rudolf didn't expect that Mejiro Yoshinobu would directly lead to the overall direction of this game and lead the emperor directly to the abyss of failure.

"Well, Rudolph, it looks like our genius classmate Emperor is about to lose."

Meanwhile, Representative Qian Ming seemed to sense something was amiss with Lu Duo's symbol. She consciously turned off the microphone's transmission mode and chuckled at the Lu Duo symbol beside her, saying, "You're not feeling resigned, are you? After all, you should be a part of the selection process for Classmate Di Wang this time, right?"

"I guessed it, you are worthy of being Senior Qian Ming."

What was beyond Qianming's expectations was that after a moment of silence, Lu Duo didn't show any forced calmness. Instead, he nodded slightly and said softly, "But you're wrong about one thing, Senior Qianming. I'm not disappointed or unwilling. The Emperor's defeat in this match was doomed from the beginning, but we only saw it now."

"But, Senior Qianming, have you ever considered that with Mejiro Zenshin's abilities, this plan certainly wasn't made by her alone. She's not exactly a horse girl who's adept at planning tactics. In other words, her actions today were undoubtedly orchestrated by someone behind the scenes."

"And the direction of this game was only thought of by that person from the very beginning. We were all deceived by him."

"Ryuichi Kitano?" Representative Qian Ming was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said this with some uncertainty. It was this name she had heard from Sirius, and it was this name that attracted Representative Qian Ming to come and watch this selection competition.

Qian Ming's words were recognized by Lu Duo's smiling nod. Qian Ming blinked and asked curiously, "This doesn't seem like you... Rudolph, if you met someone like this in the past, you would definitely be full of fighting spirit, right?"

"Yeah. But I've changed now."

Yes, Ludo symbolized change. And this change was precisely what Kitano had brought her. He had guided her, step by step, from the once tyrannical and even violent one, to become a qualified president. He had taught her to respect every Uma Musume, to not be overbearing due to her high position, and to become a president who was approachable and approachable.

While Ludo has become the student council president, her true nature as a horse girl remains unchanged. She retains her competitive streak, and will fight back with all her might against anyone who dares to surpass her.

——Except him, her dear trainer, the one who couldn't help her in training and on the field, and said he wanted to be the trainer worthy of her.

And now, she finally saw it... He had grown into an excellent trainer that even she couldn't see through.

At this moment, Rudolph did not have any competitive spirit in his heart, but only felt relieved and touched.

He really did it, and now he... has truly become an excellent trainer who can stand beside the "Emperor".

This time, he must have suffered a lot, right? Lu Duo was very clear about the talent of her dear trainer, so she also knew how much more effort Kitano had to put in to achieve this point today. Moreover, he was still so young this time, which was what surprised Lu Duo the most.

However, as long as he is by her side, she will not let her trainer suffer anymore. Now he has become a trainer qualified to stand by her side, and she is also a student union president with a high enough reputation, enough to make those outsiders shut up.

As for the Symbolic Family...that old immortal can't control her now. Although Sirius has bad intentions, he will undoubtedly not listen to the orders of that old woman, so she can rest assured.

This wave is already secured! At this moment, Luduo Symbol is quite satisfied with his future plans. If the East Sea Emperor, who is currently on the field, knew that he rushed to the field to meet Luduo Symbol's expectations, but was treated like a tool by Luduo Symbol, and now he doesn't care whether he wins or loses, how would he feel?

At this moment, a sudden cry of surprise came from nowhere, which made Representative Qian Ming and Symbol Lu Duo come back to their senses and subconsciously look towards the arena.

When they saw the other figure charging onto the field, their pupils subconsciously shrank. Even the Ludor symbol muttered to himself, "How is it possible? She still has the energy to sprint?"

Rudolph's words echoed the thoughts of several horse racing girls on the field. They all noticed a figure rapidly approaching, slowly approaching from behind with strength and speed that was hardly the end of the race.

At this moment, all the audience were surprised by Mejiro Zenshin who was gradually catching up - no, it would be better to say, trying to regain his rhythm of escape. When Mejiro Zenshin caught up step by step, even the horse racing girls of the Mejiro family who thought there was no hope at first were frightened.

"Sister Shanxin? How come she still has the energy? Didn't she already lose speed?"

"This is..." Seeing this, the head of the Mejiro family also showed a look of astonishment for the first time. Watching Mejiro Zenshin catching up step by step on the field, a word emerged in her mind at this moment, and she muttered to herself: "Two-stage escape? Disrupt the rhythm of the other horse racing girls in the early stage, then conserve their energy in the middle stage, and then burst out all the energy accumulated for a long time in the final stage?"

"This tactic...is not something that an average person could come up with, nor is it something that an average horse girl could pull off."

The head of the Mejiro family didn't believe that this tactic was thought up by his own Shanxin. Although Shanxin was relatively marginalized among the new generation of horse girls in the Mejiro family, she definitely had the ability as a horse girl, but it was basically difficult for her to win.

In terms of intelligence... the head of the Mejiro family didn't want to be too rude, but Shanxin's brain was indeed not as good as her two younger sisters. She was the second slowest in the family in terms of comprehension, and the slowest was Mejiro Mitsuaki.

This tactic clearly wasn't the brainchild of Mejiro Zenshin, so who gave Zenshin such a bold strategy? This tactic's defining characteristic is its ability to disrupt the overall rhythm of the match, but it places high demands on Uma Musume's execution, and its win rate isn't high—of course, even if Zenshin played consistently, it would be difficult for him to win.

But the brilliance of this tactic lies in that even if it fails to win, Mejiro Yoshinobu's performance is still outstanding. No one would have thought that a horse girl who has lost momentum in the middle of the race would suddenly explode at the final turn. With such a tactic, even if it fails to win, Yoshinobu's performance is definitely eye-catching enough, and he might even be called "the one most likely to win the championship."

The person who formulated this plan...could it be...the trainer named Ryuichi Kitano?

The Mubai family head frowned slightly, but then relaxed his brows. He chuckled and said, "Knowing you can't win, you're showing your best and most unexpected side? You're doing this for me to see, right? Just to show me Shanxin's true strength and talent."

But the Mejiro family head had to admit that Kitano Ryuichi had done it. When Mejiro Zenshin rushed out, even the Mejiro family head was a little excited. Looking at the aggressive Mejiro Zenshin who seemed to have the potential to win the championship, the Mejiro family head nodded inwardly.

"Aldan?"

"Hey? What's wrong, Grandmother?"

"I'm not in good health. I'm too old to shout anymore. Can you young people cheer for the believers on my behalf?"

The Mejiro family head's gentle smile made Mejiro Aldan slightly stunned. The next moment, Aldan seemed to understand something. His eyes were shining with joy and he nodded heavily and said, "I understand! Everyone, hurry up and join me in cheering for the believers!"

"Beat them away! Sister Shanxin!"

The first one to stand up was Mejiro McQueen, who had been extremely excited for a long time. At this moment, she shouted out all the words she had said at the baseball field. Fortunately, the surroundings were very noisy and no one could tell which voice was Mejiro McQueen's, otherwise she would probably have died on the spot.

But none of this mattered. Now, the sisters of the Mejiro family stood up and offered their support to Mejiro Yoshinobu. Because they knew very well what the words of the head of the Mejiro family just now meant.

This means that Sister Shanxin has finally been recognized by the Mejiro family. Now, just like Ryan and McQueen, whom she used to envy and compare herself to, she has become a recognized horse racing girl who can shoulder the mission of the Mejiro family's "Emperor's Award"!

From being mediocre in the past to becoming a racehorse girl recognized by the family after a week of training, so many years have passed. As believers and sisters, how can they not be happy about this?

The outcome of this game is no longer important to Shanxin at this moment, but even so, the sisters of the Mejiro family are still trying their best to cheer for Shanxin who is running all the way on the field.

"You must win! Sister Shanxin!"

This time, the words they shouted were more confident than ever before, because they really felt that this time, Sister Shanxin had a very good chance of winning.

All of this was brought about by the mysterious trainer behind her. He gave her the boldest and most suitable tactics for her, so that when she faced these talented horse girls who were once out of her reach, she would not have to retreat in disgrace, but instead move forward bravely.

Chapter 109: Uma Musume No. 16 strikes down the entire field

"Second stage explosive escape? Is this also your idea?"

On the other side, the Holy King's mother was also extremely surprised to see this scene. As a former horse racing girl, she knew to some extent how difficult it was to implement this tactic. Not only was it very demanding of the horse racing girl herself, but also after implementing it, the possibility of winning was very low.

It can be said that if there is a more appropriate way to win, it is impossible to use this tactic to win. But there is no doubt that when Mejiro Zenshin rushed forward again, everyone in the audience was surprised by Zenshin's performance.

Even Sirius turned his head slightly to look at Kitano when he heard this. At this moment, Kitano only nodded solemnly and said with some emotion: "If not, Ye Shanxin's strength will be even more impossible to win." Kitano's current position can just see the scene of a group of horse racing girls approaching.

He could clearly see the believers making astonishing progress, overtaking those horse racing girls who were in the first half of the race and desperately trying to catch up with her rhythm, causing their rhythm to be disrupted and their physical strength to be exhausted. They were even beginning to approach the horse racing girls who were competing for the championship. A big stone in his heart finally fell.

"This tactic wasn't something I came up with. I saw it used by a horse girl, um... a horse girl I've always considered a role model. She once used this tactic in a match and pulled off a spectacular escape."

"However, the method used by that horse girl is more difficult, more precise, and requires a higher level of skill. She can maintain the lead throughout the race while keeping the horse girl behind her in her rhythm, but the believer can't do that."

"The believer's physical fitness and endurance are not strong enough to lead the entire race. Therefore, I made some modifications to this tactic, and now it seems... the believer has done it."

"How did you do it?" Even Sirius found it a bit incredible. She turned her head slightly to look at Kitano, suppressing the trembling in her heart, and asked in confusion: "This tactic is too dependent on luck. What if these horse girls don't follow her rhythm? What if she doesn't grasp the opportunity to maintain her physical strength? Wouldn't she lose even more miserably then?"

"If we don't use this method, won't we lose?" Kitano shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, which stumped Sirius and he slowly closed his mouth.

That's right. Even without such tactics, how else could Shan Xin win? In terms of physical prowess, she's only just okay among all the horse girls. And when it comes to escaping horses, even Qingyun Tiankong and Miura Bourbon are even better. Who wouldn't be better than her?

Since you know you will lose, you might as well give it a try and try a method that is more likely to win, even if you fail you will lose even more miserably. But if you succeed, then even if you don't win, you will definitely lose beautifully.

Yes, a beautiful defeat. This description might sound odd, but it was the outcome of Mejiro Yoshinobu's match. She had successfully executed this strategy, and even if she lost, she wouldn't be a humiliated loser. People might even feel sorry for her loss, but they certainly wouldn't be disappointed.

It will only turn into "What a pity, we almost caught up!" Such emotions and evaluations will undoubtedly make people feel more hope than failure.

This is a way to maximize the strength and expressiveness of Uma Musume. The Sirius symbol looked at Kitano beside him and asked, "How dare you bet..."

"Because I believe the believers can do it, it's that simple, Sirius Senior."

After all, this is the child's most likely chance to turn the tables. Kitano thought so in his heart. He knew Shanxin's character very well. As someone who has always been on the edge of the family, no one would allow himself to make even the slightest mistake in such an opportunity that could make everyone look at him with admiration.

What Kitano wants to grasp is the mentality of the believer, because he understands this feeling. He has put himself in the believer's shoes and thought about it. He will definitely gamble, and will definitely try every means to win!
