Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 323 Joint Training
Seeing Beibu Xuanju laughing so hard she was doubled over, Xingmu chuckled for a moment, then said defiantly, "Senior, don't use me as an example! I've grown taller now! And I'm almost as tall as you!"

"Good, good, little almond-shaped eyes have grown taller."

He spoke as if coaxing a child, and the Northern Black Horse's smile gradually faded, replaced by a hint of emotion as he said:
"I was quite surprised to see the change in Xiaoxing's eyes that time."

"Thinking about it carefully, both Hikari-chan and I were probably very surprised when we saw me in my true form."

"And then, besides this, Diamond-chan is also starting the Classic Frontline..."

Upon hearing this, the resentment on Almond-shaped eyes subsided for a moment, replaced by even stronger envy.

She clenched her fists and said, as if in a fit of pique, "..."
"I will eventually step onto the classic front, and then... I will definitely achieve something amazing!"

"Yeah! I think so too!"

After nodding vigorously, Kita Genko's eyes flickered as he looked at Yasui Makoto: "By the way, trainer, you just... seemed to be asking about them?"

While smiling as he watched Kita Genko and Apricot, Yasui Makoto also remarked on how quickly time seemed to have passed.

Although the encounter with the Northern Black Horse and the signing of the agreement all happened more than a year ago.

But sometimes when I think about it, it feels like it happened just yesterday.

Now that the Northern Black Horse has finished its classic year, the first race of the old horse year will be held in a month, and it will be a G1 level race.

Meanwhile, her friend, Hikari Satomi, is also starting the Classic Front, and her junior, Alime, is beginning preparations for this front.

"Yes, I asked them."

With a sigh, Yasui nodded and said, "I've been keeping an eye on the schedule of the Shining Series."

"Hikaru-kun... I remember that in the debut battle, the conditional competition, and the Kisaragi Award in February, she was always the most popular, which basically guaranteed her a spot on the Satsuki Award elimination list."

"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the Satsuki Sho should be held on April 17th this year."

"The Satsuki Sho competition will start soon when we get back to Japan. We can take some time to go and cheer for Hikari-kun."

Seeing that Beifang Xuanju nodded repeatedly with anticipation, Yasui Zhen smiled and continued:
"But my main question is, have you contacted Bu Nao Zhengang and Ming Sheng Lei Dong?"

"Shinko-chan? Naruto-chan?"

Northern Black Horse paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Of course I contacted them. They're all coming to Dubai, and I asked them when they were arriving as soon as I got off the plane yesterday..."

She paused suddenly, her tone revealing a sudden realization:
"Does the trainer want me to ask them when they're coming so we can train together?"

"Yes, I do have that idea."

There was nothing to hide, Yasui Makoto nodded and said:

"To be more precise, this was originally a task given to me by the Emperor's Guild Leader, and it was something I discussed with their trainers and senior members of the Qi Tank before I came here."

"After all, they are all Japanese racehorse girls. When they come to compete overseas, they must cooperate and help each other to achieve outstanding results as much as possible."

"So I wanted to ask you, if you haven't asked or don't know when they're coming, I'll contact Senior Qisuo and the others later."

These were things I had discussed with the East Sea Emperor and the others before the Lunar New Year.

After the various racehorse girls and teams finalized the arrangements for the overseas expedition, they discussed many details.

Besides what the East Sea Emperor and the others said—that they hoped Yasui Makoto, Kita Genko, and Apricot would assist Funao Shinko and the others so that Japan could achieve better results—Yasui Makoto also had some other speculations.

This arrangement may also be intended to give the three of them a chance to learn.

His training ability and match planning have been proven, but he still has a clear weakness in terms of experience. This weakness is not only due to a lack of actual match experience, but also to many other details.

For example, training and guiding racehorse girls in a team, and all aspects of overseas expeditions.

Teams like Unyielding Steel, Thunderous Roar, and Satomi Crown, who went to Hong Kong to participate in the competition, not only have trainers, but also logistical support such as nutritionists, medical staff, and consultants.

The air duct is like a loud and clear advisor.

With this kind of support, training and competition will be much more convenient, and many of the ideas and practices will be different from those of trainers like Makoto Yasui.

There are many ideas and practices that Yasui Makoto doesn't understand. It's not that not understanding these things means he can't train racehorses and win races, nor is it that those ideas and practices are better.

Rather, having those ideas, methods, and corresponding details will give us more options and make it easier to solve problems when we encounter them in the future.

Therefore, while Yasui Makoto certainly has the ability to help Funao Shinko and the others, he, Kita Genko, and Azume can also learn a lot through this process.

If it were just on Yasui Makoto's own, he wouldn't actually have the opportunity to get in touch with this kind of team.

Even though Northern Black Horse, Unyielding Steel, and Thunderous Roar are very familiar with each other, they can only hold some training matches at most.

After all, he was relatively inexperienced, having only been a trainer for a little over a year. In the context of Japanese society, it was quite normal for him not to be highly regarded.

However, with the Emperor of the East Sea's arrangements, and most likely with the help of the Qi Channel, his learning opportunity appears on the surface to be just mutual assistance.

Yasui Makoto was well aware of this consideration, but he hadn't told Kita Genko about it before, not because he thought it was too complicated, but because overseas expeditions in team form are generally not easy to arrange.

Teams like Shin's team have more than one trainer, which means there is more than one racehorse girl in charge.

While we're here competing overseas, Japan still has its own competitions. How to allocate manpower and coordinate resources between domestic and international teams—these are all issues that will take time to resolve.

Under this personnel structure, the time for going abroad is often very close to the time of the competition, and it is not very certain.

So Yasui Masayuki wanted to ask if Kita Genko knew when Funao Shinko and the others had arrived in Dubai.

"Oh, that's it."

After hearing Yasui's explanation, Kita Genko suddenly realized and quickly nodded: "They all told me, let me think... no, let me see when they specifically said it was..."

She took out her phone, scrolled through it for a while, glanced at it briefly, then turned the screen upside down and faced Yasui Makoto:

"What a coincidence, it's exactly three days later."

"Shinko-chan's flight is at 3 a.m., and Naruto-chan's is in the afternoon."

"Trainer, do you think we should pick them up?"

When he asked this question, Beibu Xuanju's face was full of eagerness.

Instinctively, Yasui really wanted to refuse.

They all have their own teams, and their schedules are definitely arranged. There will be people to receive them.

The two racehorse girls arrive at vastly different times. If I were to pick them both up, I would have to get up in the early hours of the morning and then go to the airport in the afternoon. Just thinking about it makes me feel exhausted.

But looking into the eyes of the Northern Black Steed, he ultimately spoke, as if possessed:

"Okay."
