Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 277 Isn't this the Huang family's residence?
For international events like the Arc de Triomphe, it's difficult to make practical decisions without firsthand experience and understanding.

Moreover, the Northern Black Horse's career has just entered a crucial stage, and the selection of any major races must be done with utmost care.

So, as Genkoku Kita continued to help organize the documents, Makoto Yasui slowly explained his previous thoughts:
"...Therefore, the Arc de Triomphe Award involves too many complex factors."

"From the schedule to the strength of the opponents, from adapting to overseas conditions to the allocation of physical strength, every aspect must be carefully considered."

"As I analyzed before, if you want to achieve something in a competition like the Arc de Triomphe, six months of preparation time may not be enough."

"But you are currently on the rise, and we cannot let you stay away from Japanese competitions for too long."

"So, I think the same way you do. We'll wait until we've been to Dubai and experienced the atmosphere and intensity of overseas competitions firsthand before making any further plans."

Northern Black Horse listened attentively, nodding slightly.

After Yasui Makoto finished speaking, she also said, as if summarizing:
"In that case, our focus will remain on Xiaoxingmu from now on."

"And according to the trainer, if you want to win a high-profile match overseas, it's best to prepare in advance."

“Xiao Xingmu is just getting started. If she starts getting in touch with international competition-related training and concepts now, she will definitely have a better chance of challenging international-level G1 competitions than I do.”

"Of course, I won't give up easily. I will work hard to improve myself and I'm sure I'll shine on the international stage in the future."

As she said this, a determined light shone in her eyes.

Then, Kita Genko suddenly remembered something and asked Yasui Makoto:
"And Xiaoxing's entrance exam is in a few days, but you still have an injured arm, trainer."

"How about we go and see how her opponents train tomorrow, just like I did with my Arima Kinen training? I happen to know where some of them train."

Yasui Makoto was slightly taken aback, and asked with some surprise, "How do you know all this?"

Northern Black Horse explained with a smile:

"I was shopping with Satomi and the others before, and we happened to talk about Almond and the goddess, which led to us talking about Almond's other rivals."

Little goddess? Oh, Satomi goddess...

After a moment's thought, Yasui Makoto finally realized what was going on.

Having already gained experience observing his opponents' training during the Arima Kinen race, he felt that cooperating with the increasingly mature Kita Genko was indeed more efficient than training alone.

Moreover, her ongoing injuries are indeed having a significant impact. If Northern Xuanju can further improve through this preparation, both Xingmu's preparation and her own training will proceed much more smoothly.

After a moment's thought, he quickly agreed:
"Okay, let's do it your way. We'll go take a look tomorrow."

……

Not worried about the reliability of the information obtained by Kita Genko, Kita Genko also thoughtfully reassured Yasui Makoto not to think too much, and patted his chest to guarantee that the arrangements for tomorrow would be left to her.

So the night passed, and the next day, after completing his training, Yasui Makoto followed Kita Genkoma to a very familiar place.

"Isn't this... the home of the Gold Master and the Gold Ship?" Yasui Makoto said in astonishment, looking at the mansion in front of him, which was not luxurious but occupied a large area.

"Yes, Wang Ziding is the cousin of Master and Senior A-Chuan."

Northern Genko also looked at Yasui Makoto in surprise, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "The trainer doesn't know?" "No."

Yasui Makoto honestly admitted, with a hint of shame in his expression: "I only paid attention to her running style, her past performance, her family history... I really didn't look into it."

"It seems I've done my homework better than the trainer in this area."

Northern Black Horse playfully raised its chin and said confidently, "Then for today's preparations, the trainer will obediently follow me."

Seeing that Kita Genko was joking around, Yasui Shinya also responded playfully, "Alright, then please give me your guidance, Kita-sensei."

"Huh? Oh, right? Teacher, trainer... you don't have to say that."

Northern Black Horse's cheeks flushed slightly, a little embarrassed. He quickly changed the subject, pointing to the gate of the Golden Family's mansion and saying:

"Ah, it's Grandpa Jinlang and Senior Journey, Trainer. Let's go say hello."

The two walked quickly toward the door, where they saw an elderly man with white hair wearing a baseball cap talking to a female horse racer with long black hair and a ponytail.

Upon seeing Kita Genko and Yasui Makoto approach, the old man's face lit up with a kind smile, and the racehorse girl nodded politely in acknowledgment.

"Grandpa Jinlang, Senior Journey, it's been a long time." Northern Black Horse greeted them sweetly, his voice clear and melodious.

The old man was none other than Takatoshi Imamichi. As the most experienced trainer in the Golden Family, he had trained many strong racehorse girls, and he was renowned in the industry.

The racehorse girl with long black hair and a ponytail next to her is Golden Journey. She has a very neat and efficient demeanor and is the older sister of Golden Master and Golden Ship. She has also had a remarkable performance on the racetrack.

Kita Genko had already contacted Imanami Takatoshi and Golden Journey yesterday, so when he saw Kita Genko and Yasui Makoto, the old man Imanami responded with a smile: "Oh, Kita, it's been a long time! Come in, come in."

Golden Journey smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Bei, and trainer Yasui, welcome to our home."

After exchanging pleasantries, the group headed together toward the small training ground inside the mansion.

Along the way, Mr. Jinlang and Golden Journey enthusiastically introduced some of the changes inside the mansion.

As Yasui Makoto and Kita Genkoto listened, they looked around at their surroundings. Before long, they arrived at the small training ground.

Before they even got close, bursts of arguments could be heard from the training ground, interspersed with complaints that were unclear whether they were trying to smooth things over or stirring things up.

"Your training method only suits you, okay? Besides, Wang Ziding needs to solidify her basic endurance before she can figure out sprinting techniques!"

"If you don't develop your strength and explosiveness in the early stages, what's the use of having good endurance if you can't get going at the crucial moment? Little Dingxiang, listen to me, my rice cake pounding training method is absolutely effective!"

"I'm telling you two, you always argue whenever you get together. Can't you talk things out properly?"

"How about... you two run a race? 2000, 2400, 2500 or 3000, it's all fine, you've both run it before anyway."

Hearing this argument, Takatoshi Imanami gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly, as if to say that his children would never grow up.

During his golden journey, he raised his hand to his forehead, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible.

Yasui Makoto and Kita Genkoto stood to the side, their lips twitching awkwardly.
