Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 519 It really was those two.

"That's it..."

Nodding, his gaze quickly sweeping past her, Satomi Hikari smiled and nodded:

"Then my sister and I will go through the gate first."

"...Okay, we'll be there soon."

After a few simple greetings, the Satomi sisters naturally headed towards the gate.

As they approached the gate, Satomi Hikaru suddenly stopped and looked at Satomi Crown:
"elder sister……"

As if on cue, Satomi Takashi also stopped and looked over:
"Light Drill, I..."

The two sisters were taken aback when they spoke at the same time. After a moment, Satomi Takako gave a wry smile and shook her head helplessly:
"Sure enough, even though I told you I'd focus all my energy on the competition, seeing Xiao Bei, I..."

She didn't continue speaking and remained silent, but Mitsuzumi Satomi understood what her sister meant.

The uproar that erupted during the performance just now was due to the great opera and the Northern Genko, or rather, the "duel" between the two...

A previous article published in Flash magazine titled "Confidence That Breaks the Curse," and even earlier victories...

Before anyone knew it, the name Northern Black Steed had become increasingly well-known, shining like a star and attracting widespread attention.

Perhaps because they are a year apart, Mitsuaki Satomi cannot imagine how the older sister feels now facing her childhood friend whom she grew up with.

But if she tried to put herself in that shoes, she felt that she probably wouldn't be able to ignore the Northern Black Horse either.

However, after experiencing the simulated chrysanthemum appreciation at the beginning of the training camp, she gradually realized that simply caring about such things was useless.

Moreover, even if she has to face her current friend and future rival, the imminent challenge, and the final stop of the classic triple crown, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, she... must get through it first.

……

Since it was not a formal competition, the entire event process was streamlined.

However, the contestants this time are either famous star racehorses or currently popular active racers.

So when McQueen's elegant and infectious opening remarks echoed across the spacious training ground, cheers erupted from all directions, no less enthusiastic than those during any official match.

Meanwhile, in the control room, Alice was intently watching the screens of various instruments in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed, a hint of obvious regret on her face.

After most of the contestants had entered the gate, she gently shook her head and muttered to herself:
"Tsk, what a lack of vision! It's such a great training method as fluorescent enzyme labeling, yet it can't be applied to every athlete. It's such a pity."

As she spoke, she glanced somewhat resentfully at Megumi McQueen and The Great Shock on the commentary panel.

Then, before he could notice her gaze, he quickly turned around.

Seeing this, Yasui touched his nose and remained silent to himself.

To be fair, Alice is indeed a genius. After that farcical incident that made him glow, she actually managed to develop the marking technology and successfully applied it to Kita Genko and Alimee.

The idea is not complicated. Simply add a certain amount of fluorescent enzyme to the daily intake, and use special instruments to track its movement path and circulation within an individual. This allows for reverse analysis of situations that were previously difficult to detect during running, as well as real-time changes in various physiological indicators within the body.

This is equivalent to installing countless sophisticated sensors in the bodies of racehorses, presenting all their performances on the track to the public without reservation.

The so-called daily intake is actually just food and drinks, and there is absolutely no glowing effect. The whole technology can be said to be quite effective, practical and convenient.

At this moment, thanks to the instruments and equipment set up in advance throughout the competition venue, the screens in front of the two displayed not only real-time images from various angles and detailed physiological curves, but also categorized fluorescent labeling conditions. After the competition, they would be able to analyze and study the data with Yamato Akaki, providing the latter with entirely new firsthand information for his paper.

Unfortunately, even while still in school, the various potions developed by Alice were already quite famous, or rather, "infamous" because of their strange and unusual side effects.

So, during this period of communication and application with student council members such as Megumi McQueen, the proposal to "apply the marking technology to all contestants" was unsurprisingly rejected.

Ultimately, the only ones who were actually able to apply the fluorescent labeling method this time were Northern Genko, Anime, Yamato Akaki, and Vodka, who had already adapted to this technology and hesitated to agree after being "persuaded" by Yamato Akaki.

However, despite the outcome, upon reflection, Yasui Makoto actually believes that Alice Soko's innovative ideas and research results are still quite valuable.

Theoretically speaking, if these technologies can be widely adopted, they could have a significant positive impact on the entire industry.

After a brief silence, Yasui Makoto coughed lightly, deciding to comfort Alice:

"Well... the association and the student council don't agree yet, probably because we don't have more empirical data."

"And to be honest, as of now, we only have data on Xiaobei and Xingmu."

"So if we can gather more useful results through this competition, I think both President McQueen and others will probably change their minds."

"Oh? You're quite the talker, Yasui."

Looking away from the screen, Alice raised an eyebrow at Yasui Makoto with surprise, then quickly changed her expression to feign ignorance.

"But what did you say next? What about changing your mind or not? I don't understand at all."

This guy……

Frustrated once again, Yasui Makoto rolled his eyes.

Before he could even complain about Alice's feigned ignorance, Megumi McQueen's slightly impassioned voice simultaneously echoed from the stadium's loudspeaker not far from them:

"Okay, all the female racehorses have entered the gate."

"So, the friendly training camp match, the 2000-meter grass race, right now..."

"Start!"

The moment the opening remarks were delivered and the cheers from the audience erupted, Makoto Yasui immediately turned to the instruments.

At the same time, Alice also dropped her innocent expression from before, narrowed her eyes, and stared at each figure on the screen with seriousness and focus.

On the screen, the moment the white gate popped open, more than ten figures rushed out at the same time as if they had planned it. From the side view, all the contestants almost overlapped into one.

However, in the blink of an eye, the two figures swiftly drew their weapons and parted ways with the remaining opponents.

In every broadcast, the two leading racehorses were seen with burning fighting spirit in their eyes, galloping forward with every muscle working in perfect coordination.

"Xiao Bei... and Yamato."

"It really was those two..."

Eri Soko smiled and said in unison with Yasui Makoto, "Your reaction speed... is as fast as ever."
