Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 348 Ordered to Go Shopping
After finishing his evaluation of Yasui Makoto, seeing that Yasui Makoto was about to speak, Qi Cao smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Don't rush, let me finish speaking."

"You're so outstanding, that's really great."

"But at the same time, I'm also worried that if you make a mistake, you might refuse to admit it because things have been going too smoothly for you all along."

"So when I say you did the right thing, I mean you did something wrong at just the right time, realized it in time, and even admitted it."

"This is what a rookie trainer should be like, and this is what they should be doing."

Nodding vigorously, Qi Cao patted Yasui Makoto's shoulder:

"With this experience and mindset, you will be able to better guide Xiaobei and Xingmu in the future."

"Although there is no specific data analysis yet, experience and intuition tell me that Xiao Bei must have entered a very brief state of mind when crossing the finish line in this race."

"This is important to her, to you, to all of you."

"It's truly the first glimpse into the field, and it will be a huge breakthrough for Xiao Bei. You'll also have access to growth opportunities that even many experienced trainers might not be able to access."

"And your current mindset will ensure that you don't miss opportunities and are ready to welcome any surprises and challenges that may come."

Upon hearing this, Yasui Makoto's spirits lifted.

Qi Cao's words essentially confirmed the situation of the Northern Black Steed, and he also realized his mistake after being reminded of it.

So, as the other party suggested, we should adjust our training and competition plans according to our new discoveries and insights.

Even before he could proceed, a new plan was already taking shape in his mind.

However, as if she could read his mind, Qi Cao suddenly pressed her hands on his shoulders, and under his surprised gaze, she spoke with a serious expression, half-joking and half-seriously:

"If you're planning to start working on the training plan right now, then let me tell you, don't even think about it."

"I just told you that you're always rushing around like a workaholic, and now you're in a rush again."

"Mastering a field takes time and effort. Have you already forgotten what I just said?"

Yasui Makoto felt awkward. He really wanted to start organizing right now, but he was also a little confused, not understanding what the air tank meant.
"Um... then I'll do it tonight or tomorrow..."

He wanted to say he would start working later.

"Don't think about work for the next few days."

He continued pressing down on Yasui's shoulders, still in a half-joking, half-serious tone, and then said:
"After such an intense competition, Xiao Bei really needs a rest, and so do you."

"Moreover, you don't have a Dubai schedule, and two matches during this period are enough for you to digest."

"I'll take a good rest for the next few days and explore Dubai."

"If you're really itching to get back to work, then come and help us get back into the swing of things."

After saying that, seeing that Yasui was about to speak, the gas tank spoke first:
"But resting and shopping should still be the priority. It's a rare trip abroad. If you're not interested in these things, Xiao Bei and Xing Mu might not be."

"So...that's right."

QiCao suddenly smiled, pointing a finger at himself:

"Although I am no longer in the student council, I still serve as an advisor to Treson Academy."

"So taking a break and going shopping are requirements."

"Of course, as an advisor, I can't really make any demands on you."

"However, as an advisor, I also have the right to make suggestions. I can give advice to the Emperor and McQueen."

"If that doesn't work, I'll call Chairman Lu Duo. "Emperors might not listen to others, but the chairman's words are a different story."

"So, Yasui, you don't want to be forced to take Kobe and Akime shopping, do you?"

...one day later.

On the road leading from the Burj Al Arab to the business center, in a car, Makoto Yasui sat in the driver's seat, with Genkoto Kita and Apricot looking excited in the back.

Lying on the driver's seat alongside Almond-eyed, Kita Genko poked his head into the driver's compartment and asked impatiently:

"Trainer, how much longer until we reach that... what-what-tower?"

"...Is this the seventh or eighth time you've asked? Are you in such a hurry?"

With a slightly amused retort, Yasui Makoto glanced at the two racehorse girls' poses in the rearview mirror and said helplessly:

"You two go sit down properly, this is too dangerous. Where are your seatbelts? Fasten them both."

"Oh, okay..."

He readily agreed, and Beifang Xuanju shrank back, quickly sitting back down with Xingmu and obediently fastening his seatbelt.

At the same time, Yasui Makoto glanced at the phone hanging on the dashboard, checked the navigation displayed on the screen, and said:
"We should have about ten more minutes. Would you like to go up to the Burj Khalifa first, or head to the Dubai Mall first?"

The Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are both considered classic landmarks in Dubai and are among the most recommended destinations in various travel guides.

The former is the world's tallest building and is estimated to be one of the most expensive buildings.

Standing at 828 meters tall and costing US$15 billion, it contains residences, hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and other functions and facilities, and is surrounded by pedestrian streets, lakes, and tower clusters.

The latter also holds the title of "world's number one," being the world's largest shopping mall.

Spanning 55.7 hectares, it is home to numerous world-renowned brand stores, and due to its status as a duty-free zone and Dubai's luxurious character, many of the goods there are cheaper than in their country of origin.

In addition, there are the world's largest aquarium, the largest gold market, an Olympic-sized ice rink, a six-story-high giant screen cinema, an adventure park, a desert fountain, and other entertainment facilities.

The reason they drove to those two places was naturally because of the "task" or "order" given regarding the placement of the air tanks.

When Yasui Makoto heard the mission order, he was initially speechless, and knew that he probably had no choice.

As an advisor to Treson Academy, Kaku does have the right to make suggestions to the student council, trainers, and active racehorse girls, and due to her abilities and experience, those suggestions are often adopted.

Even if it's not adopted, it doesn't matter. After all, they said that if her words don't carry weight, they'll have to call Lu Duo.

Although the former horse racing girl now works in the university, she still wields considerable influence within the academy.

For example, the way people like the Air Tank and the Emperor of the East Sea still habitually refer to Lu Duo as "Chairman".

Moreover, Rudol has many admirers at the academy, and many students decided to become racehorse girls because of her.

The East Sea Emperor, especially her die-hard fans, not only debuted because of her admiration for Rudol, but also became the student council president at the latter's request.

During their casual conversation, Yasui Makoto learned that the school council and student council initially intended for Daiken to become the student council president, while Tokai Emperor, with his free-spirited personality, initially had no intention of taking on this role.

However, due to his obsession with overseas events, or more precisely, with the Arc de Triomphe, Da Zhenhan only wanted to be responsible for this part of the work.

Only after Lu Duo's symbolic suggestion and request did the Emperor of the East Sea decide to take on the position of student council president.

Therefore, if the air trough really opens, and if Lu Duo truly suggests it, without a doubt, the Emperor of the East Sea will force him to take the Northern Black Steed and Almond Eyes shopping.

There might even be a plane coming to supervise him as he "carries out orders".
