Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 285 What kind of horse girl is Wang Ziding?
Time slipped by unnoticed, and the sky gradually darkened.

After a full day of intense training and meticulous debriefing, the sun had quietly set, casting an orange-red glow over the entire training field.

With a broad smile and eyes full of enthusiasm, Takatoshi Imanami sincerely invited Makoto Yasui and Genkoto Kita to stay for dinner and to spend the night there.

Unable to refuse their kind offer, Yasui Makoto and Kita Genko agreed without much hesitation.

A short while later, in the mansion's dining room, a long table was decorated in a warm and elegant manner, and the table was filled with a dazzling array of delicious food.

The rich aroma filled the air, making one's mouth water.

The group sat together, their laughter and chatter instantly dispelling the day's fatigue.

Takatoshi Imanami, full of energy, vividly recounted the various amusing stories of the Golden Horse Girl racehorse, eliciting bursts of laughter from the crowd.

Between stories, the old man asked Wang Ziding, who was sitting next to Beibu Xuanju, about various things related to Treson Academy.

She bombarded Treson Academy with questions, covering everything from its architecture and daily training programs to its diverse campus activities.

Northern Black Horse, with a smile on his face, patiently answered each question.

As he listened, Wang Ziding's expression grew increasingly expectant, and also increasingly strange.

"Senior Xiao Bei, why are you talking about Tereson Academy...?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Ziding finally couldn't help but ask, "It's not quite the same as what the other seniors said, is it?"

“Especially the Golden Ship-senpai, the academy she described is like a completely different world from what you’re talking about.”

As she spoke, she frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion. The image of the Golden Ship, so animated and confident in describing the academy, involuntarily surfaced in her mind, its exaggerated words and expressions still vivid in her mind.

Upon hearing this, the Northern Black Steed was slightly taken aback, then, recalling the Golden Ship's quirky and unconventional style of doing things, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

She gave an awkward but polite smile, cleared her throat, and tried to organize her thoughts to explain:

"Uh... Little Lilac, Senior Golden Ship, she has a rather unique personality and very novel ideas."

"When she describes things, she might embellish the details a little...."

As she spoke, she searched her mind for the right words:

"Treson Academy is indeed a vibrant and opportunity-filled place, with rigorous and well-organized training courses as well as a wide variety of activities."

"Golden Ship-senpai is probably telling the story from her own unique perspective, so it might deviate a bit from the actual situation, haha..."

Wang Ziding tilted his head, deep in thought, digesting the explanation of the Northern Black Steed.

She recalled what the Golden Ship had said about the mysterious "midnight carnival" and the "weird costume races" that would be held unexpectedly, which were completely different from the regular and fulfilling school life described by the Northern Genko.

"Then... senior, are there really no special activities like what Senior Golden Ship mentioned at the academy?" Wang Ziding asked, her eyes filled with anticipation for those novel scenes.

Northern Black Steed chuckled and ruffled Wang Ziding's hair, saying:

"Most of the activities at the academy are actually centered around improving our abilities."

"There might be some creative and unconventional activities occasionally, but they certainly won't be as exaggerated as the Golden Ship senior described."

"However, the academy is very large, and there may be some unexpected surprises hidden in some corners that have not yet been discovered by everyone."

Wang Ziding nodded, seemingly understanding, though the curiosity in her eyes hadn't completely faded. She stopped dwelling on the question. A slight, shy smile appeared on her lips as she looked at the Northern Black Steed and softly hummed in agreement.
"Thank you, Senior Xiao Bei. I think I understand now."

"Good, good, that..."

Nodding repeatedly, Beifang Xuanju looked at the delicious food on the table and changed the subject, sincerely praising it:
"Speaking of which, Grandpa Jinlang prepared a truly delicious dinner!"

Upon hearing this, everyone echoed in agreement. Imamitani Takatoshi simply smiled and then called out to the crowd.

As time went by, the food on the table was gradually devoured, and everyone was satisfied with their meal.

Once the last dessert was enjoyed, dinner officially came to an end.

All the racehorse girls got up to help clear the tableware, while Takatoshi Imamichi, as the master, accompanied Makoto Yasui on a stroll around the mansion.

Night had completely enveloped the earth, and twinkling stars twinkled in the night sky. After wandering around for a while, Yasui Makoto went to the room that had been arranged for him, intending to sort out his day's gains and then get some rest.

Yasui Makoto sat at the desk in the guest room, the warm yellow light of the desk lamp illuminating the notebook spread out on the table.

He held a pen in his hand, intently writing down his training notes for the day. Line after line of text recorded the performance of the Northern Black Horse in the simulation race, the problems it exposed, and the direction for improvement in subsequent training.

Just then, a cell phone rang.

Yasui Makoto put down his pen, picked up his phone, and saw "Almond Eyes" calling. He raised an eyebrow slightly and answered the call casually.

"Hey, Almond Eyes, it's so late..."

Good evening, trainer!

Before Yasui Makoto could finish speaking, Almond-eyed's energetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Did I disturb your rest? What did you and Kobe-senpai find at the Golden House today?"

Without realizing it, Yasui Makoto leaned back in his chair, gazing at the night view outside the window, and began to recount his experiences of the day in detail.

From the impressive performance of the Northern Black Horse in the simulation race, to the debriefing and discussion with Jin Langlongli, and then to the interaction with Wang Ziding.

Almond-eyed listened intently on the other end of the phone, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise and laughter.

"By the way, Mr. Yasui,"

After listening for a while, Xingmu changed the subject, her tone slightly puzzled: "I just called Senior Xiaobei, but no one answered. What is she busy with?"

Yasui couldn't help but smile:
"Xiao Bei is probably having a great time with the horse racing girls from the Huang family right now."

"They're all sleeping in one big room tonight, probably having a pillow fight or something right now, making a ruckus, so it's normal that Xiao Bei didn't hear the phone."

As he said this, he couldn't help but recall the loud voice of the Golden Ship echoing in the hallway before he entered this bedroom: "So many people, let's have a pillow fight tonight!"

"Wow, that sounds really interesting!"

Almond-eyed said excitedly, her voice full of envy, "I kind of want to go play... Oh right."

She suddenly changed the subject, "I heard from the trainers and seniors that I met Wang Ziding today, and she..."

"What kind of racehorse girl is she?"
