Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 647 Those two children... also soon
Following the new brilliance, the group passed through a relatively quiet passage on the side of the main hall and arrived at a temporary area located at the back of the stadium.

“This is it,” the newly radiant light stopped, turned around, and introduced gently, “The conditions are a bit limited, but it’s enough to warm up and get a feel for things.”

"Thank you very much, Senior Glorious!" Northern Black Horse thanked him again, while curiously beginning to examine the area.

This area appears to be part of the racecourse's regular training grounds. For this carnival event, a section was specially designated, with simple fencing and signs set up, to serve as a warm-up area for the participating racehorses.

The facilities look rather simple, but the ground is flat and the view is wide, with a clear view of the outline of the official track in the distance.

"You are welcome."

The newly radiant woman smiled, her gaze sweeping over the Northern Black Steed surveying the arena, and behind her, the silent but focused Almond Eyes and the slightly curious Spring and Autumn Equinox:

"Well then, please feel free to look around and familiarize yourselves with the event. If you need anything, please feel free to ask the staff on site. I still need to go to Oguri... Oguri Hat and the others to confirm the final procedures for the competition."

“Okay, okay! You go about your business, don’t worry about us!” Beibu Xuanju quickly expressed his understanding.

Shining Radiance nodded, then gestured to Yasui Makoto and the others before turning and walking in the opposite direction from the main venue.

Watching the newly radiant light depart, the Northern Black Steed immediately turned to Almond Eyes and Spring and Autumn Equinox, its face revealing an eager expression:

"Almond-eyed, Kotobuki, since we still have some time, shall we move around a bit here and get used to the place and environment?"

"Yes!" Chunqiu nodded vigorously, her little face full of seriousness.

Almond-shaped eyes didn't answer immediately. Her gaze slowly swept over the unfamiliar training ground. She lightly stepped on the firm yet slightly springy mud, her eyes narrowing slightly before she took a deep breath and nodded solemnly:

"it is good."

With a consensus reached, the northern Xuanju was not delayed.

She first did what Yasui Makoto usually did, leading the two of them on a slow jog around the edge of the field to briefly observe the softness and flatness of the ground.

Afterwards, I guided them through some basic warm-up exercises to stretch their ligaments and activate their muscles.

Throughout the process, Genkomoku Kita didn't say much, but his instructions were clear and his movements were demonstrated with standard precision, showing a hint of Makoto Yasui's usual calm demeanor.

Yasui Makoto, Alice Soko, and others stood at the edge of the field, watching quietly.

After warming up, Beifang Xuanju looked at the two juniors before him, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"Warming up alone isn't enough. Let's run a short distance to get a feel for it. Consider it a simulation of the start and the rhythm of the opening stages."

She pointed to a sign outside the training field:

"Just run one lap and then go there. No need to exert yourself; just feel your stride and breathing. That's all."

……

While the Northern Black Horse was leading the training, on the other side, Shining Glory had just walked out of the training area when, near the road leading to the activity area, he saw two familiar figures.

The one with striking long, grayish-brown hair and a pale yellow diamond-shaped hair accessory was the one she was looking for, Little Chestnut Hat.

At this moment, Oguri Hat was holding a huge rice ball, almost the size of her face, in both hands and was intently munching on it. Her cheeks were bulging out, making her look like an extra-large hamster.

Standing beside her was a gentle and quiet racehorse girl, who had come to Kasamatsu’s super small bay at Oguri Hat’s invitation. The latter was looking at Oguri Hat, who was working hard beside her, with a somewhat helpless yet amused expression.

"Little Chestnut, Illustrious is here." Super Little Bay gently reminded him upon seeing the brand-new Illustrious.

"Awoo...?"

Little Chestnut Hat looked up at the sound and saw the brand-new radiance approaching. With food still in his mouth, he mumbled two unclear "ah-woo" sounds.

Seeing her like this, the newly radiant light couldn't help but laugh: "Little Chestnut, what are you doing eating rice balls here? And... such a big one at that." Hearing this, Little Chestnut Hat let out a few more "woof woof" sounds, and Super Little Bay smiled gently, offering an explanation:

"It was made from leftover ingredients from a previous competitive eating contest. Xiao Li said it was delicious and it would be a waste to waste it, so we used it as a snack."

"Snacks, huh? So that's what they are... As expected of Oguri."

He said something amusingly, then, with a sudden burst of brilliance, remembered his business:
"By the way, you should know about Kita Genko and her juniors signing up, right? I just took them to the temporary training area. Where are Tama and Inari?"

“Yes, Xiaoyu told us,” Super Bay replied.

"Then she and Inari went to communicate with the other contestants participating in the exhibition match, saying that they should also take it seriously and prepare for the competition."

"Xiao Li and I are fine here for the time being, so we thought we'd come here first to check on the situation."

“I see,” Shining Radiance nodded and suggested, “Shall we go say hello to the Northern classmates now? I promised them I’d take them sightseeing in Kasamatsu later.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Super Little Bay nodded.

Meanwhile, Little Chestnut Hat, who had just quickly finished most of the remaining rice ball using some unknown method, shook his head after swallowing the food.

Then, meeting the questioning gazes of her two friends, she spoke with a slightly hesitant tone, her voice still a little muffled from chewing, but with certainty:

"Right now... I'm afraid it's not possible yet."

"Huh?" Both the brand-new radiance and the super bay were taken aback.

Little Chestnut wiped his mouth, raised his hand, pointed to the makeshift training ground in the distance, and said succinctly:

"They have already started training."

Startled again, she looked towards the new radiance and the super-small bay.

On the short straight track of the training field, Kita Genko, Apricot Eye, and Shunjue had already assumed clear starting positions, leaning forward and lowering their center of gravity, like crossbows ready to be released.

The next moment, with a wave of his hand from the Northern Black Steed, the three of them exerted their strength simultaneously.

boom!
The dull thud of footsteps hitting the ground almost merged into one sound.

Three figures shot out like arrows released from a bow, creating a gust of wind and stirring up a lot of dirt and dust on the ground.

At that moment, the expressions of the three female racehorses outside the track changed slightly.

"...So fast."

Shining with newfound brilliance, he murmured unconsciously, his gaze fixed on the figure leading the way:

"As expected of the strongest active player in the Shining Series, this starting speed, Northern classmate... truly lives up to his reputation."

Almost simultaneously, as soon as she finished speaking, Little Chestnut Hat and Super Little Bay slowly shook their heads.

Their gazes were not only fixed on the Northern Black Steed, but also keenly observed the two slightly immature yet equally impressive figures beside them.

“No,” Super Cove said softly, his tone tinged with a mixture of seriousness and admiration, “it’s not just her.”

A sharp glint flashed in his blue eyes, and Little Chestnut Hat nodded, speaking in unison with Super Little Bay:

"The two children next to her... are also very fast."
