Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 417 The Chase and the Unique Training Method

Northern Genko didn't notice Yasui Makoto's change of address; what she was concerned about was the eagerness that Yasui Makoto's words revealed.

Since learning about extreme sports, she has taken the time to try to learn a lot about it.

She incorporates these techniques into many of her training sessions now. Even if you can't necessarily understand them through self-study, it's always good to take a look.

On the other hand, she wanted to learn more about Makoto Yasui through this method.

As they've gotten to know each other better, she's increasingly feeling that her role as a trainer has two sides.

When guiding her training and competitions, she was like the Arno pocket watch she gave her—precise to the point of exuding a mechanical feel.

Whether it's the number and duration of training sessions, the strategic and tactical arrangements for matches, or the rest strategies after training and matches, everything is done in an orderly manner with clear and specific requirements.

These well-organized arrangements were extremely effective; she didn't have to worry about what to do after completing a training session or what to do before or after a competition.

In this comfortable state, she often feels like she can clear her mind and has thoughts like, "I can just leave everything to the trainer."

Beyond this impression, she could also see Yasui Makoto's passionate side, which stemmed from his love of extreme sports.

For example, when she was taking care of him in the rented house, she happened to see him clenching his fist while watching a wingsuit flying documentary. His face was completely devoid of the seriousness he usually showed during training and instruction, and instead resembled the enthusiasm of a diamond-shaped character seeing their own game.

When discussing extreme sports techniques during training, he would casually mention the origins of some sports, his face showing a subtle enthusiasm, clearly restrained and calm due to the training setting.

Because of the dual impression of calm rationality and fanatical obsession, she sometimes couldn't help but wonder if Yasui really had two personalities, but more than that, she was curious and interested in this contrast.

It was precisely because of this feeling that she wanted to try to find some ways to experience each other's hobbies with Yasui Makoto.

Extreme sports are not a popular activity, and finding suitable methods is not easy. She searched online many times and asked her friends many times, but she still couldn't find anything suitable.

Fortunately, she did not give up. Some time ago, she learned by chance that there was a "Uma Musume Chase" event in Shibuya. After learning about it briefly, she immediately felt that this was definitely the ideal event for her.

Putting everything else aside, the limited space and numerous obstacles make it look just like parkour.

Parkour is one of the most common extreme sports.

So, when he realized that Yasui was indeed interested in the "chase battle" as he had expected, Kita Genko couldn't help but become impatient.

"So the trainer knew about this event!"

Excitedly, she grabbed Yasui Makoto's hand and hurried towards the venue, then changed her tune and said expectantly:

"No, I should say I didn't expect this activity to be one that trainers are familiar with. So... we should really have a chance to beat our seniors, right?"

Caught off guard, Yasui Makoto took a few steps forward from the north, and he chuckled before falling into deep thought.

He was unaware of Northern Black Horse's ulterior motives, but he found the event quite interesting.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, it might even be of considerable help to future training.

Unlike most extreme sports, the "World Obstacle Chase Championship" was one of the few professional competitions in its previous life. This is because this sport is similar to parkour, but parkour has a relatively lower skill ceiling and a much larger audience than other sports, which naturally leads to more outstanding athletes, making the competition more competitive and entertaining.

Therefore, the WCT has a more systematic training program from training to competition, and it also has more skills.

He had noticed this project before, and he had also considered using it as a training method.

However, in the current timeline of this world, WCT is just starting out, and there is very little relevant information. If you want to apply for it to become a training program, the relevant institutions may worry about security due to "insufficient reference value," which will make the review process very troublesome.

On the other hand, even without this type of project, he still has a lot of extreme sports training content, which is gradually being integrated into regular training, and he is not in a hurry to expand it.

In retrospect, it may seem like a coincidence, but the current activities are enough to prove the safety of WCT.

Next, all I need to do is try it out myself, then submit the completed proposal, and getting approval should be a breeze.

More importantly, if this plan is approved, Northern Black Horse will not only have another training method, but it will also be a method that he can participate in and perhaps even has exclusively.

It's important to know that compared to other trainers, his level in extreme sports is absolutely top-notch, and those who are better than him in this sport are not necessarily trainers.

So this event may be more meaningful than it initially seemed.

As he analyzed this, Yasui Makoto had already been pulled to a corner of the field by Kita Genko.

There was a long table in this corner, and two racehorse girls were sitting behind the table.

Both of them knew each other. One was Special Week, who was wearing sportswear, and the other was Silent Suzuka, who was dressed similarly to Ennis Fuujin, but with a gym banner tied to her casual clothes.

Across the long table, Ennis Fuujin, who had brought the two to the venue, was talking to Special Week and Silent Suzuka.

Sensing someone approaching, Ennis the Wind God glanced to the side and quickly smiled:
"Ah, they're here... Let's double-check, are you two sure you want to participate in this event? The next round is about to begin."

Knowing that the second half of the sentence was addressed to the two of them, Yasui was about to speak when Kita Genko spoke first, impatiently saying:

"Yes, everyone! The trainer has agreed, so please help me register!"

"Don't worry, I've already written your names down."

Pointing to a form on the long table, Ennis nodded with a smile, took off the gym banner from his body, and patted his chest, saying:

"And I have to play in the next game and a special week too, Xiao Bei, you better watch out!"

Upon hearing this, Northern Genkoto paused for a moment, while Silent Suzuka, who appeared to be a guest staff member, smiled and nodded. After scribbling on the list, she handed it to Special Weekly beside her.
"I didn't expect Xiao Bei to come here to play too. Good luck later... Well then, Xiao Te, please give this list to Maru Zen-senpai."

Taking the form, Zhou stood up, patted his chest like the god of wind, and nodded vigorously, saying:
"Leave it to me! I didn't expect Xiao Bei to come over today, and she even brought Yasui-san with her, but it's quite nice."

"This round of the competition is about to end, let's go find Maruzen-senpai together!"

When Yasui Makoto and Kita Genko arrived at the registration area, a round of matches that was taking place on the field was already coming to an end.
