Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 538 The Determination Under the Night Light
"momentum……"

He repeated it to himself, and even Satomi Hikaru couldn't help but show a look of emotion:

"Yes, Xiao Bei is really different from before. She seems... much more mature."

"Well, how should I put it? Maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration."

Satomi nodded, his tone very serious:

"But to be honest, when I looked at Xiao Bei at that time, I felt... like I wasn't looking at her."

"Instead, it's like looking at a senior figure like Chairman Monarch or Chairman McQueen; they possess a convincing aura."

"elder sister……?"

Satomi Hikari's eyes widened in surprise: "This...isn't this a bit too much?"

"There are some, which is why I said earlier that it might sound a bit exaggerated..."

Satomi Kouma unconsciously clenched his fist:
"But in fact, I... really feel that way."

"...Is that so..." Sensing the hesitation and complexity emanating from his older sister, Satomi Hikari was momentarily at a loss for words.

"It's probably because you, Xiaozuan, haven't officially faced off against Xiaobei on the field yet, to be honest..."

After speaking, Satomi Takako paused, seemingly considering his words, but then shook his head:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I have made all the preparations. No matter how strong Kobe is, or how powerful the other opponents are, I will win the championship at the Emperor's Autumn Appreciation Festival and win this G1 for the Satomi family."

After speaking, she looked at the light drill inside, her eyes filled with encouragement:

"Of course, Xiaozuan, you'll be just as good. You'll definitely be fine at the chrysanthemum appreciation this time."

Satomi Hikari nodded seriously, but didn't say anything. Instead, he involuntarily looked in the direction where Kita Genko had left.

Haven't you had a formal match with Xiao Bei yet...?
……

When Beibu Xuanju returned home, it was already completely dark.

After saying goodbye to her family and returning to her bedroom, she couldn't wait to take out her phone and dial Yasui Makoto's number.

"Ah Zhen! I'm home!"

As soon as the call connected, her clear voice came through, filled with the joy of having just finished a trip:
"I had so much fun at the amusement park with Guangzuan-chan and the others today! We rode the Ferris wheel and went to the haunted house."

"Let me tell you, Xiao Xingmu screamed in fright at first, but then she actually dared to pull me forward!"

"Oh right, I'm telling you this secretly, so don't tell Xiaoxingmu, or she'll definitely be angry with me."

"...Actually, given Almond's personality, she would probably tell you not to tell me, right...?"

As soon as Kita Genko finished speaking, Yasui Makoto's helpless voice came from the other end of the phone, which then turned into a gentle laugh:
"But it sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun, that's good. After training for so long, you need to relax a bit."

"Mmm! I felt very relaxed today!"

Northern Black Horse nodded vigorously, walked to the bed, pounced on it with a "heave-ho," and continued, hugging a pillow:
"We also had a video call with Mingsheng-chan and Ronghou-chan; they're both working hard for their respective competitions."

"I should have expected it. Ronghou-chan was also going to attend the Arc de Triomphe Awards and might meet Mingsheng-chan, but I was still surprised to see the two of them appear together in the video."

"Oh right, Crown also said that he will definitely not lose to me in this Emperor's Autumn Viewing Ceremony. It seems that it will definitely be a super intense showdown!"

"That's good."

Yasui Makoto's voice was encouraging:

"Only with strong opponents can you unleash your full potential."

"But don't get too excited, get some rest, you have training tomorrow." "Okay! Got it!"

Northern Genko obediently agreed, chatted with Yasui Makoto for a few more minutes, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.

She stretched, hugged her pillow, rolled over, and prepared to scroll through her phone for a while before going to sleep.

She accidentally clicked on the digital version of "Flash" magazine, and several pop-up headlines immediately caught her eye:
"The Northern Black Horse Aims for the Autumn Triumph; Emperor Enjoys Autumn Scenery and is in Excellent Condition for Battle"

Experts predict that the Northern Black Horse has the potential to become another legend after fine opera.

The Triple Crown Journey Begins: Can the Northern Steed Achieve Another Glory?

One report after another was about her participation in the Emperor's autumn appreciation event and her preparations for the Autumn Triple Crown.

Unconsciously browsing, Beifang Xuanju's eyes widened, and a strange excitement surged in his heart, instantly dispelling his drowsiness.

She couldn't help but sit up and continue scrolling through the screen, carefully reading each report.

The Emperor's autumn viewing... is at the end of October this year, so there's still about a month left...

So many reports started appearing around this time? But there were also Narumi-chan's Arc de Triomphe Award and Kozumi-chan's Chrysanthemum Award in between...

At this point... everyone's paying attention to Tianqiu...

Could it be... because of the "Autumn Triple Crown"?
With his gaze fixed on the word on the screen, Beifang Xuanju's heart stirred.

In her memory, at this time of year, magazines usually featured reports about the Arc de Triomphe and the Chrysanthemum Festival.

There are stories about the Emperor appreciating autumn scenery, but they only come out in droves after the chrysanthemum viewing season ends.

But with so much time to go before the competition, so much attention is already focused on her, which shows that... winning the "Autumn Triple Crown" is truly an extraordinary achievement.

If they could win all of them, it would definitely be of great help in their pursuit of the "Hall of Fame" title.

"Alright, since that's the case... then let's not rush to sleep!"

Her thoughts raced, she clenched her fist, and a determined light shone in her eyes:
"Take some time and do more preparation!"

Having made this decision, she jumped out of bed and quickly walked to her desk to sit down.

She turned on the desk lamp, pulled out a thick stack of documents from the table, then turned on the computer and opened each file:

There are DVDs of previous Emperor's Autumn Viewing Competitions, training logs compiled by Makoto Yasui, and a recommendation report co-written by Alice and Akame Yamato.

The lamplight cast a soft glow, illuminating her focused profile.

She first spread out her training log and recalled Yasui Makoto's instructions during training.

Then he picked up the report of suggestions from Alice and the others, and carefully studied the analysis on the last leg lift and the precautions for low oxygen training.

The moonlight streamed silently through the window, and only the rustling sound of turning pages filled the room.

Northern Black Horse was completely immersed in the information, sometimes frowning as he pondered the tactical details, and sometimes showing a knowing expression as he wrote down his thoughts in his notebook.

She knew that determination alone was not enough to win the three autumn championships and get closer to the "hall of fame".

Every match, every opponent, and every detail requires repeated consideration and meticulous preparation.

Before we knew it, the hands of the clock had quietly slipped past eleven.

"Ha...that makes me even more confident."

Northern Black Horse rubbed his slightly sore eyes, looked at the documents on the table covered with annotations, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips:

"The Emperor is enjoying the autumn scenery, and the first battle of the Autumn Triumphs... I will definitely win!"
