Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 421 Can we catch the racehorse girl?

The stands were quiet for a moment, then cheers surged like a tidal wave throughout the stadium.

Many spectators were astonished and discussed among themselves, while in the challenger's rest area, Kita Genko stared intently at Yasui Makoto, his mouth agape.

She had seen the demonstrations Yasui Makoto made during training.

Various actions that seemed unbelievable to her, she, as a trainer, could complete as easily as eating and drinking.

Afterwards, he acted as if nothing had happened, explaining the key points of the movements, the techniques for exerting force, and the precautions to her.

But those demonstrations were far less dramatic than the confrontation we just witnessed.

With a deft side flip, she glides over the treadmill, precisely through the gaps between the barbells, and leaps over the treadmill and exercise ball in one go…

Every dangerous move by Yasui Makoto made her unconsciously hold her breath and her heart race.

In her current state of tension and shock, she felt her heart pounding in her throat and couldn't help but gasp:
"Wow, that's amazing! I never knew... the trainer was this good."

"Oh? So you didn't know about Yasui-kun's strength, Xiao Bei?"

Suddenly, an intrigued voice came from the side. Northern Genko quickly looked over and saw Maru Zenkichi, stroking his chin, nodding repeatedly at the arena, and chuckling softly:

"It seems your trainer is... much more interesting than we imagined."

Northern Genko was taken aback, not yet understanding who "we" were or what "interesting" meant, while Maru Zenki was already smiling and walking towards the field.

In the arena, Makoto Yasui and Ennis Fuujin are shaking hands.

When their eyes met, Ennis, the Wind God, looked them up and down with a mixture of surprise and suspicion for a moment, then suddenly grinned and said:

"Wow, those are impressive moves! I didn't expect Mr. Yasui to be so strong. It seems you have a good chance of winning this match!"

"Thank you for your kind words, I will do my best."

With a smile and withdrawing his hand, Yasui Makoto walked towards the rest area, his mind unconsciously wandering.

The previous assessment was correct; WCT's training methods can indeed be applied to the training of Northern Black Horse.

For G1 class racehorses, there may be differences in the data regarding qualities such as speed, strength, and endurance, but there is no fundamental difference in their race performance.

It could also be said that the difference is too small; in terms of time, it's a difference of a fraction of a second, or even less than half a second.

To improve one's skills on this basis, technique becomes especially crucial.

If your opponent has it, you must have it too.

If your opponent doesn't have it, you must have it yourself.

Judging from the performance of Ennis Fuujin, G1-class racehorse girls have an insurmountable talent compared to humans in straight-line sprints and sharp cornering.

However, smaller-scale maneuvers still offer room for growth that may have been previously overlooked.

More importantly, this training system may help to improve training programs in the field.

It is now quite clear that if we want the Northern Black Steed to experience the domain more thoroughly and eventually master it, we need sufficiently intense competition.

Such a competition requires strong opponents, as well as the skills to deal with them.

WCT's training and various techniques can precisely meet this need.

Just as he was thinking this, Maruzensky's voice came from the opposite direction, interrupting his thoughts.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yasui-kun."

Looking at Yasui Makoto, Maruzensky's eyes flashed with a thoughtful and playful glint: "Next, we'll send out pursuers to capture her. How about it, want to give it a try and see if we can catch the racehorse girl?"

Upon hearing this, before Yasui Makoto could even speak, Kita Genkoto, standing beside him, exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh—? Is the trainer going to battle again next round? Won't that be too much of a strain...?"

Maru Zenki glanced at Northern Genko, then stared intently at Yasui Makoto.

She hoped that Yasui Makoto could fight for the second consecutive time.

As a member of the university division, she, along with other Uma Musume characters such as Rudolf, Chiaki, and Mejiro, pays attention to and supports the Shining Series in their own ways.

She had only paid a little attention to the fact that she had heard from Rudol that the current chairman, the East Sea Emperor, valued a pair of racehorses and their trainers.

Soon, a series of victories, especially the big-reward match, drew more and more attention from her and her friends and colleagues to this pair of partners.

The current view is that the trainer in this pair, Makoto Yasui, has a rather bold training and playing style.

After all, even established trainers rarely dare to make any attempts in official matches.

Perhaps this is understandable. After all, they are young people of eighteen or nineteen years old. It is normal for them to be bold and want to accumulate experience.

The key point is that all those attempts were successful, and the entire training approach and various training methods were very unique, which is very noteworthy.

In this event, the original idea of ​​increasing popularity gradually took on this meaning as well.

Maru Zenki felt that he had made the right judgment; the jumps and turns that Yasui Makoto had just demonstrated must have involved quite impressive skills.

These techniques were mostly applied in the daily training and competitions of the Northern Black Horse, which led to those bold attempts and a series of victories.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to observe the trainer's performance up close.

Yasui Makoto was unaware of Maru Zenki's plans; he was simply invigorated upon hearing the suggestion.

I've heard of this rule before. Like WCT, in a round, if the evading side wins, they automatically become the chasing side in the next round.

He happens to have many ideas that need to be verified through pursuit.

He pondered for a moment, nodded with a composed expression, and then said reassuringly to the northern black horse:

"I only warmed up for 20 seconds just now. That's just a warm-up for me. Don't worry, I can run another race without any problem."

"This……"

Noticing that Yasui Makoto's expression was not only serious, but also held an unusual fervor in his eyes, Kita Genko hesitated for a moment, then finally took a deep breath and nodded vigorously:
"Alright then, I believe in the trainer, and I'll keep cheering for him!"

Maruzensky was secretly delighted to receive an affirmative reply.

However, on the surface, she simply patted Yasui Makoto on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Me too, I'll cheer for Yasui-kun too."

After the challenger confirmed that Yasui Makoto would continue to compete, the defending team also sent out their contestant.

Having received confirmation from both sides, the bright-eyed eagle, filled with curiosity and excitement, shouted loudly into the communication channel:

"Alright, then the second round is about to begin!"
"Now it's the defending champion's turn to chase, and the contestant is still Mr. Yasui Makoto!"

"After Ennis Wind God, the challenger sent out Special Week contestant!"

"So, facing a new opponent, can Mr. Yasui score again, can he reproduce the brilliant skills of the previous round, and seize the special week?"
"Let's wait and see!"

With this explanation, the audience did not raise questions as before, but instead applauded and cheered with curiosity.
