Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 436 Speed ​​alone is absolutely not enough to catch up with Yasui Makoto.
While the northern black horse was secretly amazed, Yasui Makoto had already walked to one end of the center line of the field.

He stretched his wrists and ankles, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation, while his mind raced, considering the specific strategies and tactics he would employ in this impromptu simulation.

He was very confident in himself, but he never underestimated any competition because of that.

Moreover, just like the previous event, he was now facing not only a racehorse girl, but also a racehorse girl with exceptional talent.

Even before her debut and before she has fully embraced the mainstream, Almond has already shown amazing potential.

In terms of speed, endurance, strength, and other basic abilities, as his trainer, he could confidently say that even compared to active athletes, Alime had many commendable qualities.

Especially in terms of joint range of motion and ligament flexibility, which are related to agility, it can be said that he is no less capable than some of his predecessors.

From this perspective, Almond... might be even more difficult to deal with than Ennis Wind God and Special Week, whom they competed against before.

In extreme sports, especially in competitions like parkour and WCT, agility is more important than anything else.

On the other side, standing at the other end of the field, moving her joints just like herself, Almond-moon's time was shorter than his, many racehorse girls, and even Northern Black Horse.

As he analyzed the situation, Yasui Makoto also gained some insights and understanding.

The previous judgment was correct. As a trainer, training alongside the racehorses firsthand provides a more comprehensive view than simply standing on the sidelines.

For example, the analytical perspective we're taking now wouldn't have come up so naturally in the past, nor would we have reached the corresponding conclusions.

"Interesting. It seems that the training will only get more and more interesting in the future..." He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Okay! I'm ready! Zhen, how are you?"

As Yasui was deep in thought, Almond across from him raised her hand and shouted.

Then, with an eager look on her face, she bent down, spread her legs, and assumed a starting position.

Even from about 20 meters away, Yasui could clearly see that the man opposite him had a confident look in his eyes, as if he could already see himself easily overcoming the obstacle and catching him.

Noticing this, Yasui Makoto's lips curled up even higher.

Then he raised his hand and nodded towards the northern black horse outside the arena:

"Ready."

"Hmm! Since everything is prepared..."

With his eyes fixed on the field, Beifang Xuanju nodded vigorously and raised his arm as well.
"Okay, I'll start the countdown now. Ready... three, two... one!"

The moment Beibu Xuanju finished speaking, Xingmu, who had been staring intently at the opposite side, shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Her goal was clear: to rush straight to the other side and use her absolute speed advantage to catch Yasui Makoto.

However, upon seeing this action, Beibu Xuanju subconsciously nodded, then shook his head slightly.

Since signing the agreement with Yasui Makoto and officially receiving his training, Alimee has spent the last few months living and working closely with this junior colleague.

Therefore, she was quite clear that even though her strength was still some distance from her debut, Almond's strength should not be underestimated.

In many practice sessions, she was surprised and delighted to find that Xingmu's performance and data were subtly approaching her own.

Even in terms of flexibility and agility, under certain circumstances... he might even surpass her.

And the very beginning of this simulation perfectly demonstrated this amazing talent.

Unfortunately, having witnessed that event firsthand, she knew very well that Yasui Makoto's skills in extreme sports were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Speed ​​alone... there's absolutely no way he can catch up with his trainer.

Perhaps before Almond even started, Yasui Makoto... had already made all the preparations.

Just as she had expected, Yasui Makoto remained completely calm as Aloe Vera charged towards him with incredible speed. Almost the instant Aloe Vera started running, he sprinted toward the treadmill on his right.

As he approached the treadmill, he gripped the handrails with both hands.

Using the strength of his arms, he leaped lightly upwards, tracing an arc in the air, and landed steadily on the other side of the treadmill.

"Wow!"

Almond couldn't help but gasp in surprise. She had never expected Yasui Makoto to make such a move and stood there stunned.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, after flipping over the treadmill, Yasui Makoto not only stopped running away, but turned around and smiled at Almond-no-Mikoto.

"Damn it..."

For some reason, Almond felt that Yasui Makoto's smile seemed mocking. She called out softly, feeling anxious, and chased after Yasui Makoto again.

However, Yasui Makoto still didn't run away. Instead, he smiled again, staring intently at almond-shaped eyes, and started circling the treadmill.

When Xingmu ran to the left, he would circle around to the right.

When Xingmu ran to the right, he would circle around to the left.

"Damn it! It's so awful!"

After circling around a couple of times, Almond-eyed finally realized Yasui's intention. Unable to contain her frustration, she blurted out, "I can't help but complain!"

"Is this even allowed? This...this isn't cheating, is it?"

Deep down, he knew that his technique was just a simple competition skill, but Yasui Makoto had neither the mind nor the energy to respond.

However, after a quick thought, he glanced at the treadmill, stopped circling around it, and turned to run forward.

There was a dumbbell rack in front of him. Without hesitation, he slid to the side and darted past it.

This movement may seem simple, but it actually requires a high degree of body coordination and precise judgment of distance. If you are not careful, you may bump into the dumbbell.

Seeing that Yasui Makoto had stopped circling around, her almond-shaped eyes lit up, and she suddenly chased after his retreating figure.

However, when she reached the dumbbell rack, she subconsciously slowed down and carefully went around it.

This delay widened the distance between her and Yasui Makoto.

Just as if he had eyes in the back of his head, "seeing" that Almond Eyes was about to catch up, Yasui Makoto suddenly changed direction and ran towards the support pillar on the left.

He ran to the support pillar, hugged it with both hands, spun around half a circle, and then ran in another direction.

This action caused Almond to miss again. She ran to the support pillar, stopped, and looked at Yasui Makoto, slightly out of breath.

"We can't give up like this!" Almond gritted her teeth and chased after Yasui Makoto again.

Yasui Makoto used various equipment in the venue to constantly change directions and make various simple but effective movements to evade Apricot's pursuit.

The core idea behind this simple action is very simple.

It's just going in circles.

Even with this simple approach, Almond Eyes was unable to get close to him until the time was up.

……

"Time's up!" shouted the Northern Black Horse.

Yasui Makoto walked over with a smile and patted Almond-motsu's shoulder: "So, do you believe me now?"
