Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 316 I will not lose the grass court game!

The post-match examination was not what Xingmu had expected.

She stood at the edge of the court cheering him on, and when she saw her senior lose in the end, all she could do was rub her sore throat, frown, sigh, and worry.

However, seeing the enthusiasm of those foreign racehorse girls for the Northern Black Horse, she quickly felt happy, took it for granted, and was somewhat relieved.

Having witnessed the Northern Black Horse's competitions and trained together for quite some time, she was well aware of her senior's strength.

Those racehorse girls were so enthusiastic, it must be because they had witnessed the skill of their predecessors.

That's to be expected, since the senior was already very strong.

Muddy surfaces are not a terrain that the predecessors are good at, so being able to achieve such a result is a great testament to their skill.

Especially considering that the opponent was not only a skilled racehorse on muddy tracks, but also a top-level competitor, losing didn't seem so incomprehensible or unacceptable.

It was Yasui Makoto who thought about the post-match check-up.

Like Almond, he was also worried about the condition of Northern Genko after losing the practice match.

However, seeing how popular the Northern Black Horse was, and its familiar warm and cheerful demeanor, he felt relieved for a moment.

Then worry returned in an instant.

As a professional trainer, he was well aware that the first half, or more than half, of the match just now was a practice match.

However, from the second time the team passed the first corner, the intensity was almost like that of an official race.

Or to be more precise, the intensity begins to increase sharply from the second turn of California Spark into the middle of the first and second turns.

Although it's unclear what happened, since the intensity was close to that of a formal match, the post-match procedures should follow the official guidelines.

This means conducting professional post-competition examinations to avoid hidden injuries caused by high-intensity exercise.

So, after waiting a while for Kita Genko to respond to the fans he had just gained, Yasui Makoto reminded Anme to help bring Kita Genko out.

It wasn't that I didn't want to go and shout myself, it's just that the female horse racers here were too enthusiastic, completely surrounding Northern Black Horse and California Shining Horse.

The racehorse girls all look like delicate and frail girls, but a full-force punch can have a force of 2000 kilograms.

If you rush in and get injured, although you can report it to the association and school as a work injury, it will definitely affect your subsequent training.

His left arm has just healed, so he definitely wouldn't dare take that risk.

Besides, none of the other trainers tried to squeeze in; they were clearly aware of the risks.

A short while later, at the Burj Al Arab hotel's medical room.

Although it's called a medical clinic, it's actually the size of a regular hospital, with all kinds of facilities, even surpassing the level of the Tokyo Arena.

As he left the examination room, Yasui Makoto casually listened to Kita Genko and Apricot's chatter while flipping through the examination results.

"Yeah, yeah, the California student looks taller than me, but he seems quite agile and very skilled!"

"Yeah! You can tell she's really fast... But I think Senior Xiao Bei is amazing too, and she looks so cool on the field!"

"Handsome, handsome?"

"Yes, especially the final sprint, I felt like the entire stadium was ignited by the senior's passion!"

"W-Is it really that exaggerated? Haha..."

With a silly grin, he scratched his head, then pouted, clenched his fist, and raised his voice:
"No matter what, we still lost... but I will definitely not lose the next grass court match!"

"By the way, trainer, how did my test results go? I should be able to run another grass race with my California classmates, right?" Before Yasui could even respond, the door to the examination room opened, and California Shining walked out.

"California student!"

With a delighted cry, leaving Yasui Makoto who had just been looking over, Kita Genko quickly approached and asked with concern:
"How are you? You should be alright, right? Shall we go run another grass race?"

After being bombarded with questions, she clenched her fist and said confidently:

"I can't beat you in mud races, but grass is my domain, so you'd better watch out!"

Holding the examination report in his hand, he looked at the confident Northern Black Horse with some surprise. Just as his surprise turned into a smile, before California Shining could speak, a voice that sounded like a sullen voice suddenly came from the side.

"Exactly! Be careful not to get left far behind by Senior Xiao Bei!"

As if chiming in, Xingmu stared wide-eyed, clenched her two little fists, and waved them back and forth: "Senior Xiaobei is very powerful. When you run on the grass together, you have no chance of beating her!"

Almond-eyed said this in Japanese. California Shining looked bewildered, while Northern Genko looked a little embarrassed.

"Haha, actually... it's probably not that exaggerated. Besides, the California students are very strong, and they might be strong on the grass court too. Whether they can win... is really hard to say."

Her bulging eyes froze, and her almond-shaped eyes turned to look at her, her face filled with resentment:
"Hey, Senior Xiao Bei, we're on the same side, okay? Why are you siding with her...?"

"Huh? Oh, this..."

With an even deeper look of embarrassment on his face, Beibu Xuanju grinned foolishly and scratched his head:
"I... that's just what I said, and that's how competitions are, you can't say for sure until the very end..."

Upon hearing this, Xingmu's expression became even more resentful.

Before she could say anything, California Shining suddenly laughed:

"It seems like I should consider learning Japanese."

"Also, if you're asking about my health, I'm fine, and I'm very grateful for Miss Blake's concern."

As she spoke, she waved the medical report in her hand, smiled at Kita Genko, and glanced past Yasui Makoto's pouting and resentful eyes before looking at him:

"How is Miss Black?"

When California Shining came out of the examination room, Yasui Makoto had almost finished reading Kita Genko's report.

Upon hearing this, he nodded:
"No problem, thank you for your concern, California classmate."

"However, if you two want to run a grass race, I think we should wait a few days."

California Shining was taken aback and blurted out, "How did you know what I was thinking?"

It's written all over your face.

Thinking to himself, Yasui smiled and said, "I guessed. I know Koho's personality, and you're very strong too. She kept saying she really wanted to run another race with you..."

Before he could finish speaking, California Shining interjected impatiently:
"Since Miss Blake has agreed, why don't you agree?"

Sensing that California Shining's personality was very direct, Yasui Makoto thought for a moment and also spoke bluntly:

"Because when I said there was no problem, I meant her health condition."

"But in terms of her mental state, she needs rest now."

He pointed to the bewildered Northern Black Steed and patiently explained:
"We just arrived in Dubai by plane today. To put it dramatically, Xiao Bei practically ran a race with you as soon as she got off the plane."

"She looks very energetic right now, but actually she's quite mentally tired from the long flight and being new to Dubai."
