Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 253 I'll take care of the trainer personally!
A short while later, at the medical room of the Zhongshan stadium.

Inside, behind a desk, a middle-aged doctor examines an X-ray film in his hand.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and looked across at the other side.

Across from him, Yasui Makoto sat in a chair, his left arm splinted and slinged around his neck.

Beside him was the Northern Black Horse, whose face was filled with worry, anxiety, and heartache.

Behind them are the Emperor of the East Sea, the Great Shock, the Gold Master, the Gold Ship, and the Noblewoman, each with a different expression.

The middle-aged doctor pondered for a moment and said:
"A hairline fracture, also known as a minor bone fracture."

"Generally speaking, this situation is easily caused by violent impacts or blows."

"Or, if you slip and fall, landing on your hand, the force can be transmitted through your palm to your wrist and arm, which can also cause a fracture."

"Cumulative strain is also one of the causes."

"From your description..."

After a pause, the middle-aged doctor looked hesitantly at the goldsmith opposite him.

Meanwhile, apart from Yasui Makoto, all the racehorse girls were looking at the Golden Master.

In an instant, its ears snapped back, the downy hair on its ears and tail bristled, and the Golden Master cried out in exasperation:
"Please, I didn't do this this time!"
"He's not my trainer, why should I beat him up?"
"Besides, didn't we just say it was this guy who did it?"

Furious and anxious, she pointed sharply at the noblewoman.

Now, the racehorse girls all turned their gazes toward the noblewoman. Among them, the Northern Black Horse's eyes held a complex mix of resentment, hesitation, and confusion.

The middle-aged doctor also looked over, and after a moment, he nodded slightly:

"I'm sorry, it seems I misunderstood. After all, I happened to be receiving treatment here during the Golden Master's debut battle, so..."

"I already said it wasn't me!"

After being angrily interrupted by the goldsmith, the middle-aged doctor remained calm and composed, saying:
"So I was prejudiced from the start."

"However, I must say that since the violence was not caused intentionally, it must have been caused by the lady's carelessness?"
"I conducted examinations on both of them while they were in service."

"If I remember correctly, the lady's strength... is quite considerable?"

Somewhat embarrassed, she glanced apologetically at Kita Genko, then bowed slightly to both Kita Genko and Yasui Makoto, saying shyly:

"It was definitely an accident."

"This match... Doctor should be watching the live stream here, right? It was so exciting that he didn't control his strength and accidentally injured Trainer Yasui."

"Yes, I watched it, it was indeed very exciting."

A flash of fervor crossed the middle-aged doctor's eyes, which quickly disappeared before he calmly said:

"Given this situation, treatment should be relatively much easier."

"My suggestion is to use a plaster cast to immobilize the fracture site, restrict movement of the fracture area, and avoid secondary injury."

"The combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain and swelling, along with calcium supplements, vitamin D, and bone metabolism regulators, accelerates the repair process."

"It should take about 4 to 6 weeks to fully recover."

As he said this, he turned to the computer next to him and began typing rapidly on the keyboard:
"Surgical treatment is not currently necessary, but regular check-ups are still required."

"Please have Mr. Yasui do this at another hospital, since this place mainly provides medical care for racehorse girls."

"Mr. Yasui is the trainer, so he should know a bit about the later rehabilitation training."

"Keep uninjured areas active to prevent muscle atrophy."

"After a professional assessment, we transitioned from partial load to full load for daily use."

"After the fixation is removed, joint mobility can be restored through hot compresses, massage, and mobilization techniques."

"During this period, consume more protein-rich foods such as fish and eggs, as well as foods rich in calcium and vitamins such as milk, tofu, and fresh fruit."

"That's about it. Any other questions?"

The middle-aged doctor stopped typing and looked at Yasui Makoto, while the horse racing girls also looked over with concern.

Without hesitation, Yasui Makoto nodded, while inwardly smiling bitterly.

As the middle-aged doctor said, the trainer needs to have sufficient medical knowledge; what the other person just mentioned was all something he had studied.

Many of the topics were practiced and tested during exam preparation, such as emergency treatment and simple bandaging.

The risk of injury is unavoidable in any sport, and these studies and assessments are all done to train racehorse girls, with the aim of preventing any unforeseen circumstances.

What he never expected was that he had been guiding the Northern Black Horse for almost a year, and his own outstanding racehorse girl had never had any accidents, so he hadn't needed to use his medical knowledge.

As a result, after crossing the finish line in the previous race, he was accidentally injured by the lady, resulting in a minor bone fracture.

The process was exactly as the noblewoman had described.

Upon seeing the finish line and the results displayed on the board, several female racehorses, much like Saburo Kitajima during the Chrysanthemum Sho competition, rushed over in surprise and delight to hug him, the trainer of the Northern Genko.

Then, whether it was because he didn't control his strength well or because he accidentally used the wrong force during the shoving, he doesn't know.

In short, after the noblewoman embraced his left arm, he first felt a soft sensation, followed by a sharp pain.

Normally, he would definitely be able to react quickly enough.

After all, it was his first time meeting the Northern Black Horse, and he was "knocked away" but was unharmed.

But at that moment, he was completely focused on the result of the competition, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Fortunately, his screams came in time, and the racehorses, especially the ladies, let go quickly enough, preventing him from sustaining more serious injuries.

"One to one and a half months of treatment for a full recovery, right? I understand."

While nodding, he asked a question, and seeing that the middle-aged doctor also nodded, Yasui Makoto stood up:

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor. We won't bother you any longer."

Upon hearing this, the horse racing girls quickly expressed their gratitude and bowed before leaving the infirmary with Yasui Makoto.

Outside the medical room, there were also many female racehorses, all of whom had just finished their races.

When Yasui Makoto came out, all the racehorse girls looked over curiously.

Upon seeing his arm in a sling, their expressions instantly turned strange.

Meanwhile, the horse girls who came out with Yasui Makoto started to vie with each other, offering their concern or making a fuss.

"Mr. Yasui, I am truly sorry. On behalf of the lady, I sincerely apologize to you."

“Great shock senior… no, it’s all my fault. I will pay for Yasui’s medical and nutritional expenses.”

"Of course you should pay! Seriously, what's wrong with you, you super strong woman? Has your brain turned into muscles?"

"Yeah, that's really stupid."

"...You two..."

"Alright, stop arguing. The most important thing right now is..."

"I'll take care of the trainer!"

Suddenly raising his voice and ignoring the astonished gazes around him, Beifang Xuanju's ears folded back slightly for a moment before drooping.

Looking at Yasui Makoto's sling arm with worry and heartache, she carefully reached out her hand, but quickly withdrew it just before touching it.

"I will take care of the trainer until he recovers."

Looking into Yasui Makoto's surprised eyes, she said in a way that left no room for argument:
"No matter where the trainer goes or what he does, I will follow him."

"We will never let trainers get injured again!"
