Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 437 Ah Zhen is such a blockhead!
The chase just now lasted only 20 seconds. Let alone horse racing, this level of exercise wouldn't even be considered a warm-up for Yasui Makoto.

As she walked over, Xingmu was panting heavily, her chest heaving violently, her face full of defiance.

Approaching him, she gritted her teeth, looked intently at Yasui Makoto, and clenched her fist with unwavering resolve, saying:

"This time I was careless; I'm completely unfamiliar with this kind of competition!"

"But now I understand, if I do it again... I'm sure I can beat the trainer!"
"Let's try again, this time... I'm sure I can win this time!"

Ever since she noticed that Genkoma from the north started calling Yasui Makoto by his nickname, Aloe found it amusing and started calling him that too.

Yasui Makoto didn't care about this, and Kita Genkoto, seeing that he didn't care, didn't care about politeness either.

At this moment, Almond didn't realize it herself, but the two of them realized it at the same time.

Now that the formal title of "trainer" is being used, the little guy gets serious.

"We can win... I have no doubt about that, I mean, after training."

Smiling and shaking his head, Yasui Makoto said earnestly and gently:
"This kind of training was originally prepared for you. I just know a lot of techniques in this area, and I will teach them to you."

"By then, it will be an easy thing for either you or Xiao Bei to catch me or escape."

"Well... I'd like to try it now."

She said anxiously, her almond-shaped eyes clenched into fists as she moved closer: "Just try one more time, okay, trainer?"

At the same time, noticing that almond-shaped eyes had a slightly coquettish quality, Yasui Makoto unconsciously exchanged a glance with Kita Genko.

Seeing a hint of amusement and indulgence in Kita Genko's eyes, Yasui Shin shook his head again:
"Almond Eyes, don't worry."

"I told you this training was specially prepared for you, but the focus now is on Kobe's Takarazuka memorial."

When the Takarazuka Memorial announced the start of the race, both female horse racers paused, their eyes instantly turning serious.

Seeing this, Yasui Makoto nodded slightly and continued:
"So the main purpose of introducing the WCT training system this time is to help Xiao Bei achieve better results in the competition."

"If you want to improve yourself through this training method, of course there is no problem, but we have to take it one step at a time."

"After all, the Takarazuka Memorial is of utmost importance to Koho, and it cannot be lost."

As he said this, his mind was filled with the conversation he had with Da Zhenhan.

Aside from training and competitions, he rarely talks to others about his true thoughts; he prefers to take action rather than just talk about them.

It's like helping Northern Black Horse become a top-tier racehorse; instead of spending time talking about it, it's better to use that time for training and race preparation.

As they spent more and more time together, he learned more and more about the Northern Black Horse.

He used to think that mentioning temples was too early and might bring unnecessary pressure.

But now it seems that the Northern Black Horse, which was originally cheerful and optimistic, has become more and more mature.

Perhaps communicating now will not only avoid creating pressure, but could also become a source of motivation.

After hearing what Yasui Makoto said, a hint of disappointment flashed quickly in Almond's eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what it is or who the opponent is, she will do her best to win first place, even when facing her trainers.

She still longed for another chase match, and to defeat Yasui Makoto in this special training.

But she also understood the importance of the Takarazuka memorial, so she could only reluctantly nod and whisper:
"Okay, then... I understand."

When he saw Xingmu nod, Yasui Makoto's mind began to wander, pondering some of the details before and after the chase training.

During the chase, Almond's explosive power at the start was clearly inferior to Northern Black Horse, and he also froze when facing obstacles and his response. However, the former was due to differences in development and talent, while the latter was due to unfamiliarity with the rules and the terrain.

Even if one is not used to it, one can still see that almond-shaped eyes have a fairly obvious flexibility.

This is thanks to her joint structure with a wider range of motion, more flexible ligaments, and a better internal balance system.

Theoretically speaking, with training in these areas, she will definitely be able to demonstrate strength beyond her peers after her debut, and it can also serve as the basis for various strategies and tactics.

Compared to their performance in that event, the Northern Black Horse was slightly inferior in this respect.

The Northern Black Horse's advantage lies in her extraordinary physical qualities, great strength, and solid basic skills.

In previous training and competitions, she relied on these qualities to accumulate advantages at each stage, including excellent endurance, stable rhythm control, and instantaneous bursts of speed, ultimately winning the competition.

It's easy to imagine that in the new training system or similar competition situations, Almond Eyes can use its flexibility to make decisions more quickly, while Northern Black Horse will have to spend more energy and effort to adjust.

Besides that, the two also have different running styles.

Based on current training data, the former has a clear advantage in the first-difference running method.

The latter's running strategy was already determined: prioritize escape, and consider the actual race situation first.

In terms of specific design, the focus of subsequent training for almond-shaped eyes can be placed on further exploring their flexibility potential.

Designing more complex obstacle courses that require multiple consecutive movements allows her to continuously improve her fine control over her body while moving at high speeds.

At the same time, it enhances her ability to anticipate the opponent's actions in dynamic situations, thereby optimizing her chasing and dodging strategies in the game.

For the Northern Black Horse, a training program specifically designed to improve its agility is needed.

Starting with professional basic balance training, using tools such as balance balls and yoga mats, she enhanced her sense of balance in different postures.

Then gradually increase the difficulty by setting up obstacles of varying heights and with different levels of difficulty.

Let her practice passing through obstacles in a more efficient and flexible way while maintaining speed, thereby optimizing her performance in scenarios such as curves.

Of course, the order remains the same as mentioned earlier, with the next Takarazuka memorial in Northern Genko taking the lead.

Thinking this, Yasui Makoto couldn't help but look at Kita Genko, his eyes full of anticipation, and asked:
"Then let's give it a try. We'll be doing this special training in two or three days at most, so let's treat it as a preview, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Beibu Genko did not answer immediately, but instead glanced at Almond-eyed beside him.

She had noticed long ago that this competitive junior was somewhat downcast, while her trainer probably hadn't noticed at all.

Or it's not that I didn't pay attention, but rather that I was mostly thinking about training arrangements.

After all, this not only involves the upcoming competition, but also the sport that Yasui Makoto likes.

Thinking this, the Northern Black Steed couldn't help but sigh and chuckle to himself:

"How come I never noticed before? Ah Zhen... sometimes he's like a block of wood, completely oblivious to what other people are thinking..."

After a moment's thought, the Northern Black Steed smiled and said:

"Now... there shouldn't be a rush, right? Since A-Zhen is already prepared, we can start training directly when the time comes, and I've already tried it out at the event."

"So how about we go have dinner first?"

"Training is important, but eating is important too!"
