Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 328 This is unfair to her, who is skilled at playing on grass.
As California Shining spoke, looking at both Northern Genko and Yasui Makoto, Shimokage said:

"Very strong. At least in terms of strength, they are exceptionally strong."

As soon as she finished speaking, she and California Shining were both taken aback, then exchanged a smile.

Then, California Shining paused for a moment and looked into the distance.

In the distance, Kita Genko crouched down and reached out towards the beach mat where Yasui Makoto was lying, seemingly wanting to drag him deeper into the sunshade.

California Shining raised his arm and looked at the spot where he had just hugged Northern Black Horse.

Seeing that the area was slightly red, she nodded and said:
"Indeed, she is very strong, I think you felt it just now."

"She's not a mud racer. I asked her about it when we were chatting these past few days. She's only run on mud for her debut race and for acclimatization. She's never run on mud before, let alone participated in mud races."

"However, in that practice race between me and her, I only won by a few horse lengths."

"The horses are indeed quite large, but that's referring to official races."

"And to be honest, if this kind of practice race were played by other racehorses that aren't good at mud..."

She lowered her arm, looked at Shuangjiang, and emphasized her words, then continued:

"I can outpace my opponent by more than ten horse lengths."

"This is not a joke, nor is it arrogance."

"I have the ability."

When California Shining looked over, Frostfall was also looking at her own arm.

She was looking at the spot where she had just hugged Beibu Xuanju, where the skin was also slightly red.

Although it was only for a moment, the force with which the black-haired girl rushed out was so great that it left a very deep impression on her.

In her perception, what she had just hugged and rushed out of seemed not to be a racehorse girl, but a car speeding away.

Perhaps the car analogy isn't accurate either.

She joked with California Shining and Northern Black Horse in the locker room and casually inquired about each other's body measurements, including their weight.

Considering that the black-haired girl looked slender and well-proportioned, yet was so heavy that she seemed more like an American racehorse than a Japanese racehorse girl.

She felt that a heavily armored tank crashing out with a loud bang was more in line with her impression of the Northern Black Steed's power and explosive force.

That's why she understood even more why California Shining had said those things on the phone when they spoke to her earlier.

“She definitely can’t run on mud, I can tell. As for why she can chase so fast and so closely even though she can’t run on mud… if I told you it was all brute force, all incredible strength, would you believe me?”

Shuangjiang didn't believe it when she first heard it, but now she does.

"So," Shuangjiang asked after thinking for a moment, "that's why you agreed to have another practice match on the grass?"
"Is this the reason they insisted on dragging me along, to make me run a practice race on the grass?"

Before Frostfall even arrived in Dubai a few days ago, he already knew that his friend California Shining had suddenly decided to abandon his trainer and sneak off to Dubai.

This greatly surprised the trainer who had been searching for her for a long time. When he found out where she was, he was both amused and annoyed, and he lost his temper in front of everyone.

I already knew my friend had this kind of personality—the kind who occasionally does surprising things—so Frost's Descent wasn't unexpected.

However, since my friend arrived in Dubai earlier, I might call and ask if he had any experiences or interesting discoveries.

The northern black horse was naturally one of her gains, and she also found the Japanese racehorse girl quite interesting.

Besides learning about the Northern Black Horse, she naturally also learned that there was a turf practice race between this Japanese racehorse girl and her friend. When she first heard about the race, she wasn't particularly interested.

After all, she, like California Shining, runs dirt races. There's a big difference between dirt and grass, and she doesn't have much experience with them, nor does she have the kind of sudden inspiration that her friend does.

If I had to say something, I'd only be interested in the outcome of my friend, the Northern Black Horse's, contest on the grasslands.

So what she said at the beginning was, "If you want to run, then go for it, and I'll cheer you on."

Then California Shining said, "No, it's not just me who wants to run, I hope you will try it too and experience the charm and loveliness of this Miss Blake."

She didn't agree at the time, but said she would go to Dubai and see how things went.

Now that she's arrived in Dubai and met the Northern Black Steed again, feeling its extraordinary power, she feels... a stirring within her heart.
At this moment, California Shining raised a finger, clicked his tongue twice, shook his head with a smile, and said:

"Didn't I already say? One practice match on mud and one practice match on grass, that's what we agreed on when we first met."

“I ran it once on my home turf, and I won; she lost.”

"No matter what, whether you want to play together or not, I'm definitely going to her home turf for a game."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to her, who is good at playing on grass."

"Of course, 'playing around' is just a joke. When it comes to actually competing, whether it's a formal match or a practice match, whether it's on mud or grass..."

Just like before, California Shining stretched out her arms and stretched her waist.

The difference is that Shuangjiang just stretched, while when she moved her body, her arms and waist made crisp cracking sounds.

After the event, she gazed into the distance and a smile played on her lips:
"I will give it my all and hold nothing back."

"Even on her home turf, where she excels, it won't be easy for her to beat me."

In the distance, seemingly awakened by the dragging of the Northern Black Horse, Yasui sat up groggily.

Upon seeing the Northern Black Steed, the young trainer paused for a moment, then quickly smiled gently.

Northern Genko, looking apologetic, sat down next to Yasui Makoto with his legs in a duck-like position, scratching his head, grinning foolishly, and saying something.

Watching this scene unfold, Shuangjiang whistled a not-so-loud whistle and then said:

"Wow, they look quite well-matched. I hope God will bless them."

Then she hesitated for a moment, looked at California Shine, and nodded:

"Well then, I'll give it a try too. I'll participate in this practice match on the grass."

California's eyes lit up. "Really? Then we'll go talk to Blake and the others later... By the way, why did you suddenly agree? I thought I'd have to persuade you for a while longer."

Shuangjiang paused for a moment, then curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"Because a certain guy, like this Miss Black, is also incredibly strong."

"Perhaps, by competing against similar opponents, whether on grass or mud, I should be able to gain something."

“What do you think?” She looked at California Shine.

“...The Pharaoh, that...is indeed an extremely powerful, even terrifying, opponent.”

Nodding, California Shining walked straight ahead: "Then what are we waiting for?"
