Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 516 The Best Role Model Beside You

Instead of giving a direct answer, he gazed at the seaside for a long time, and the opera seemed to be giving an irrelevant response:

"That's about all I can do."

She paused, then suddenly her helplessness and dejection vanished, and her eyes brightened again:
"But compared to the younger generation I've met before, Miqi seems to be quite lucky."

"Lucky?"

Yamato Akama was taken aback, then his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Senior, are you referring to...Xiao Bei?"

“If we were born in the same generation, and Miki followed me and learned from me step by step, I would have enough confidence to make her stronger.”

Smiling again, seemingly unrelated to the question, a sense of anticipation gradually emerged in the eyes of a good opera singer:
"but……

"Before debuting, I didn't receive much attention, but after debuting, I became stronger and stronger, so strong that almost everyone regarded me as an enemy..."

"Coincidentally, the trainer was also a newcomer with no experience, yet he immediately mentored a genius..."

"So, is it because you've been following that stubborn guy for too long that your brain has become dull, Miqi?"

"You really want to surpass me, even though the best role model is right beside you..."

……

After the rest day, training ended, in Yasui Makoto's room.

"A great opera...you want to participate in our competition?"

Staring blankly at the Northern Black Horse in front of him, Yasui Makoto's eyes suddenly lit up when the horse nodded:
"This is really... really..."

He didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment.

He had long wanted to invite a good opera to assist with the training camp, not only because of their legendary competition experience and strength, but also because of the upcoming race schedule of the Northern Black Horse, the "Autumn Triple Crown".

Even before the training camp, he had already begun planning this challenging route in his mind.

During the training camp, he sat around a table piled high with documents with Alice and Yamato Akame, discussing every detail over and over again.

They carefully analyzed the characteristics of each match, the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents, and the condition of the Northern Black Horse itself, trying to formulate the most perfect strategy.

However, it was only after Beibu Xuanju took the initiative to mention it that he truly made up his mind to sign up for the competition.

"Autumn Triple Crown" is a collective term for three top-level G1 tournaments. The difficulty of these tournaments is self-evident. The slightest mistake could not only lead to losing a match, but could also trigger a chain reaction, causing all subsequent matches and efforts to go to waste.

For this reason, very few female racehorses have dared to choose this route throughout the long history of the race.

And those who can win the "Autumn Triple Crown" in one go are extremely rare, with only two people achieving this feat.

One of them is good opera.

Another key factor is the adaptability to different venues and overseas events.

These two types of venues have certain similarities, both of which place unique demands on the running skills and energy distribution of racehorse girls.

Coincidentally, among the many competitions that Good Opera has won, there are those held in special venues, including the first round of the "Autumn Triple Crown" and the Emperor's Autumn Appreciation Competition.

Makoto Yasui knew that this invaluable experience could not be measured in any form.

If Genko Kita can learn coping techniques from good opera, it will undoubtedly increase its chances of winning in the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Competition and on the entire front.

For all these reasons, he had long ago conceived the idea of ​​inviting a good opera to assist with the training camp.

It just so happens that Alice Soko debuted only one year after the Good Opera, and there is a certain connection between them.

Yasui Makoto himself had also had a brief encounter with fine opera.

So, before preparing for the competition, he tried to communicate with Good Opera. Unfortunately, Good Opera only said at the time that they were not used to training with other people and would have to think about it.

Hearing this reply, Yasui Makoto could understand, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Good Opera has suddenly changed its mind and decided to participate in the training competition.

This unexpected surprise made Yasui Makoto secretly rejoice, marveling at his incredible luck, as if a pillow had been delivered to him just when he was sleepy.

With the addition of a great opera, this training camp and practice matches will surely go more smoothly, and the path for the Northern Black Horse to achieve the "Autumn Triple Crown" will definitely become brighter.

But why would a good opera suddenly change its mind...?
After a moment of excitement, thinking about this matter, Yasui Makoto couldn't help but ask:

"In short, if a senior like Good Opera is indeed going to participate in the competition, Dr. Suko, Senior Yamato, and I need to hurry up and make adjustments and preparations."

"But... Xiao Bei, how did you know about her decision?"

As soon as Yasui Makoto finished speaking, Alice, who was holding a teacup beside him, nodded in agreement.

"It must have been what happened when you went to pick up the vodka that day? Yamato mentioned it to me, but he didn't explain it in detail."

"If I remember correctly, when I tried to contact the opera veteran before, she wasn't interested."

As with the usual post-training debriefing, Yasui Makoto, Kita Genko, and Eliseko were in the room, along with Yamato Akari and Alimee. The only difference was the presence of Vodka, who had recently moved in next door.

"Senior Suko guessed correctly. It was indeed what Senior Opera said that day."

After glancing at the vodka, Yamato Akama nodded and said:

"As for why you changed your mind... it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I wanted to wait until it was completely confirmed before adjusting the competition preparations, so I didn't rush to say anything."

As she spoke, she briefly recounted what had happened that day. After listening, both Yasui Makoto and Alice Soko showed thoughtful expressions.

"I see, it must be because Miqi and Xiaobei changed their minds..."

Nodding, Yasui looked at the table and picked up a stack of documents:
"But whatever the reason, having such a legend participate is an excellent opportunity for Xiao Bei to prepare for the Autumn Triple Crown."

Alice nodded in agreement, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes:
"Then it's decided! Let's quickly review the training and then make adjustments for the competition."

"Yamato, remember to double-check the track layout. Oh, and also adjust the muscle load model and oxygen uptake parameters."

"Kukuku, this is quite interesting. That person's data... I've been looking forward to it for so long!"

Seeing the horse racing girl so engrossed in her research that she had become quite ecstatic, Yasui Makoto and the others couldn't help but chuckle. However, they quickly followed her instructions and continued with the debriefing.

As night deepened, after reviewing the details of the race preparations, the race girls said goodnight to Yasui Masamichi and left the room one after another.

After seeing them off, Yasui Makoto returned to his desk. Just as he opened the event preparation folder on his computer screen, a knock sounded at the door.

Looking up, I saw that Beifang Xuanju was unusually carrying a large notebook. He poked his head in from the doorway, his ears twitching excitedly.

"Xiao Bei...?"

Surprised, Yasui made a gesture for him to come in:

"What's wrong? Is there... any more questions about the training review?"

"Ah, no, that's not it..."

Shaking his head repeatedly, Beibu Xuanju walked in and closed the door behind him.

"It's the matches that follow, which are..."

She paused, then looked down at the large notebook in her arms:
"Ah Zhen, I... have a rather bold idea that I'd like to try in this competition..."
