Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 470 A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experimental Opportunity
While the title of "Palace" certainly represents immense power, it is not something that can be obtained simply by being strong enough.

It also depends on the era in which it takes place, or rather, its significance to the entire era and even the entire Shining Series.

Every legendary female racehorse can be said to have changed an entire era and transformed the Shining Series.

It is no exaggeration to say that some of them could even influence the whole of Japan.

For example, Oguri Hat, whose Hall of Fame title is "Superstar," served during a period of sustained economic downturn.

She rose from a local racehorse to the central circuit, winning numerous high-stakes races and delivering a variety of inspiring and exciting performances.

It not only boosted the revenue of the entire event system and stimulated various industries, but also inspired countless people from humble backgrounds to strive for progress.

Therefore, becoming a top-tier racehorse girl is not something that can be achieved simply by working hard or winning races.

In other words, Eliseko believes that almost no racehorse girl would consider the seemingly unattainable realm of horse racing as their goal.

However, she is not a trainer, and this goal is something for Genko Kita and Makoto Yasui.

All she could do was, as with any overseas expedition, try to understand and offer her blessings, even amidst the unexpected.

However, besides that, this idea... can also help me.

Thinking about her plans, Alice put the paper crane in her hand aside and picked up the black tea that had been sitting on the table for a long time.

She took a sip, looked at Yasui Makoto, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and said with a light laugh:

"The final decision, of course, will depend on your next attempts."

"Perhaps this is a bit presumptuous, but... would it be convenient to know where you plan to go for your training camp?"

Upon hearing this, Northern Genko, Almond, and Yamato Akaki all looked at Alice in surprise, while Yasui Makoto seemed to be deep in thought.

He had just noticed that the two horse racers opposite him seemed very interested in overseas expeditions, so he nodded and said:
"We are currently considering going to the seaside, where the environment is more suitable for simulating some overseas competitions."

Then, after thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Is Dr. Suzi very interested in overseas competitions?"

"Overseas... I'm not that interested, but I am quite interested in competitions, medical research, and the like."

As she explained, Alice shook her head, patted Yamato Akaki's shoulder, and gave him a gentle smile:

"But Yamato is different; her research topic... happens to be in this field."

Yasui and the others couldn't help but look at Yamato Akaki, who was surprised again, then said with a hint of helplessness in his voice:

"It should be said that we've chosen a topic direction, but we haven't officially started yet, Hayako-senpai..."

Then she nodded, a thoughtful and confused look gradually appearing in her eyes:
"However, the direction... is definitely overseas competitions."

"This idea... was probably influenced by vodka. After she graduated, she went to Europe, and when we kept in touch, she often talked to me about the races and horse races there."

"After hearing so much, I wanted to use competitions and athletes from Japan and other regions as sources for my topics."

"only……"

She sighed and spread her hands, saying:
"We don't have many overseas exchange and competition events, and there are very few cases, and vice versa."

"So don't talk about the progress of the paper, actually... I'm still stuck in the topic selection stage."

Hearing this, Yasui Makoto was slightly surprised.

When I first met Yamato Akame last year, she seemed to already be considering her doctoral dissertation topic. I didn't expect that so much time had passed and there was still no result.

However, he quickly thought about it and realized that since doctoral degrees have extremely strict requirements, it was not incomprehensible that he would encounter such a predicament.

And judging from what Yamato Akamachi, or rather, what Alice Soko is saying now... it seems they should consider using the Northern Genko's overseas experiences as research material?
If that's the case, there's definitely no problem on my side, and Northern Black Horse will surely agree.

Since her debut, Kita Genko has received a lot of help from Yamato Akaki. As an experienced racehorse girl, she has learned a lot of valuable experience and skills from Yamato Akaki during training and competitions.

If there's anything on my side that can help the other party, that can be considered a form of repayment.

"So Dr. Suzuko's thoughts..."

Thinking it over, Yasui Makoto looked at Elisako:

"Do you want to watch our training with Yamato-senpai?"

"Yes."

Before Yamato and Akama could react, Alice nodded and said:
"It's not just about being a bystander..."

As her voice trailed off with a slight upward inflection, she reached into her pocket, pulled out a leather notebook, and waved it around.
"I have already written an application for assistance with the training camp."

"The information we originally had only included Thunder Sound, which planned to participate in the Arc de Triomphe, Satomi Crown, and Manlok, which were going to Hong Kong, and... In short, we didn't expect that you also had plans for overseas events."

"But if you think it's okay, I'll go back and revise the application!"

When Alice waved the notebook around, everyone's eyes followed her movements.

Hearing her increasingly expectant tone, Yasui Makoto vaguely sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. Kita Genkoto, with a hint of curiosity, asked:

"Senior Hayako...can I also participate in the training camp? Won't that be too much trouble for you?"

"Trouble? This is a once-in-a-lifetime experimental opportunity... cough, I mean, an opportunity for Yamato to obtain research materials."

Suddenly her eyes lit up, and after a dry cough, Alice changed her address, picked up her teacup, and said:

"Moreover, as a senior, assisting juniors in training to improve their performance in the Shining Series is the duty of all racehorse girls. I was just fulfilling my duty."

"By the way, not only me and Yamato, I will also try to communicate with some familiar friends to see if they are free to participate in this training together."

"Oh, by the way, I'll also help Xiao Bei with her final exams."

As she presented various conditions, her voice became increasingly seductive, as did her smile.
"It was just high school level math. Back then... I don't think I ever got any other scores besides a perfect score."

"Wow, that's amazing! As expected of Senior Suko..." Hokubu Genko's face was filled with surprise and anticipation.

After a moment of surprise, Yamato Akama's eyes filled with gratitude:

"Senior Suko, I didn't know... you had considered so many things for me. How... how can I possibly thank you enough..."

“Your diligent completion of the thesis is your way of thanking me.”

After responding with a casual smile, Alice looked gently at Yamato Akari:

"I told you from the beginning that your research direction requires a lot of practical data support."

"In particular, we must follow up on the impact of different regional tracks on the physical fitness and technique of female racehorses, and record the entire process of the samples from training to competition."

"This will indeed affect the sample to some extent, but with enough experience, it won't be a problem."

"That's why I told you not to hold back and just follow my instructions... Never mind, let's not talk about that now."

She talked on and on like an old father to Yamato Akaki for a while, then suddenly changed the subject, looking intently at Yasui Makoto:

"In conclusion, Yasui-kun, what do you think of my current proposal?"
