Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 653 Xiao Bei, come and "translate" something.

As Xingmu listened to Beifang Xuanju's words, his eyes quickly brightened from initial confusion, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"I understand!"

She exclaimed in surprise, her voice carrying a sense of sudden realization, as if a fog had been lifted:
"Oguri-senpai's acceleration is like... like when you suddenly sprinted during training on the Sakamichi last time, Oguri-senpai."
"Super Little Bay senior, it's like that time after we finished running 3,000 meters, the trainer made us accelerate for the last 400 meters."
"Inari-senpai... that's when you, Koki-senpai, suddenly accelerate on the last straight in every training match and overtake me like that."

"So what I have to do... is to unleash all those feelings during the game! Right?!"

"Yes, yes! That's it!"

Northern Black Horse nodded repeatedly, a smug smile of excitement on his face saying, "You finally understand."

Then, as if seeking final confirmation, she looked expectantly at Yasui Makoto:
"Ah-Zhen, Almond-eyed... she understood correctly, right?"

Yasui Makoto watched this scene with clear surprise in his eyes.

He could clearly hear that Almond Eyes not only understood the Northern Black Horse's metaphor, but could even accurately apply it to specific situations in daily training, and... it was completely correct.

Because, based on the data, the scenarios that Xingmu mentioned... correspond exactly to the most ideal situation he considered.

However, this characteristic of almond-shaped eyes has never appeared in Northern Black Horse.

The Northern Black Steed possesses exceptional talent, but in the early stages, he often needs to repeatedly explain certain tactical concepts that require nuanced understanding without corresponding practical experience, using various case studies.

Or the most direct way is to organize a training match immediately so that she can experience it firsthand.

What Yasui Makoto was thinking just now was to take out his phone and pull up some clips of classic match videos.

Unexpectedly, Hokuto Genko's somewhat clumsy yet incredibly vivid "translation," which combined his own experience, allowed Apricot to grasp the key points instantly.

After a brief moment of surprise, Yasui Makoto quickly realized what this meant.

This might be the missing piece for him, or rather, for his team:
The most direct guidance from an active, top-level racehorse girl to her juniors, stemming from shared physical experiences.

When he was instructing the Northern Black Horse, she was the only one under his command.

Although he himself was once an athlete and could understand and express many training principles and physical sensations, he was ultimately not a racehorse girl, and his understanding of Northern Black Horse could not be 100% synchronized with that of Northern Black Horse.

Later, even with the addition of Eliseko and Yamato Akaki, their generation was somewhat different from that of the Northern Genko, and the opponents and environments they faced were also different, making it difficult for them to achieve complete physical and mental synchronization.

However, the northern Black Horse and the Almond Eye are different.

Apricot Eyes is set to debut in the second half of this year, while Northern Genko will still be retired at that time.

They are almost contemporaries, or at least closely intertwined generations.

This means that the arena, opponents, training systems, and even the atmosphere of the entire Shining Series that they face are all highly similar.

In addition, they spend every day together and train together, so they know each other's abilities, habits, and even the subtle feelings during training very well.

The resonance and transmission efficiency generated by this "common language" based on completely identical contexts and experiences are something he, as a trainer, could hardly achieve.

Having figured this out, Yasui felt a surge of excitement. Looking at the two people before him, one trying hard to explain and the other actively trying to understand, a strong sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

"Yeah, that's right."

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Yasui Makoto nodded firmly, his gaze sweeping over Kita Genko and Almond-no-Mikoto, his expression filled with clear approval:
"Almond's understanding is completely correct. Xiao Bei, your explanation is excellent."

Upon receiving the affirmation, a radiant smile instantly bloomed on Beibu Xuanju's face. His crimson eyes sparkled, as if he had received the highest reward, his gaze filled with a sense of accomplishment and excitement.

Seeing her reaction, Yasui Makoto smiled, pondered for a moment, took out his phone, and quickly and concisely displayed and explained the information of the other opponents on the list who needed to be noted.

This race not only features legendary racehorse girls like Oguri Hat, Super Bay, and Inari Ichi, but also some other opponents that deserve our attention.

For example, there are racehorse girls from Kasamatsu such as Fujimasa March, Noren Ace, and Rudylermo. I remember the information shows that they were basically from the same cohort as Oguri Hat-senpai, and they were probably invited by her to participate in the event.

Among them, Fujimasa March had defeated Oguri Hattori twice and later successfully transferred to the Central team to compete. Judging from this, this opponent's experience and strength in mud track events should not be underestimated.

Similarly, the list includes racehorse girls from other regions, such as Fei Lin Jue Ding, Lang Qing Bu Fang, and Dong Jing Ming Xia from Oi. Some of them may have come because of their relationship with Inari Ichisen, while others may have been invited by Super Xiao Hai Qiansen.

Among them, Fei Linjue also needs to be noted, as she once defeated Inari Ichi in a local tournament, and that tournament happened to be the 'All Japan Outstanding Girls Championship' held in Kasamatsu.

When these topics were brought up, Yasui Makoto didn't elaborate as usual. Instead, he turned his gaze to Genko in the north and changed the subject:
"The opponents from these places have relatively unique playing styles, so theoretically, Xingmu cannot completely apply the central approach."

"So... Xiao Bei, what do you think Xing Mu should do in a competition like Kasamatsu, and what kind of opponents should he be wary of?"

His intention was clear: instead of simply imparting knowledge as he had initially instructed Kita Genko, he would guide her to use her newly proven "translation" ability to transform information into a "language" that Akane could better understand.

Northern Genko hadn't anticipated Yasui Makoto's thoughts, but without much hesitation, she smoothly replied:

"At the Kasamatsu Stadium... we need to be careful of their sudden acceleration and blocking, right?"
"Because the area here is small and the curves are sharp, a sneak attack... would be faster and more sudden than from the center, right?"

After speaking, seeing Yasui Makoto nod with a smile, she perked up, looked at Almond-eyed, and offered more specific suggestions:
"However, we can also take advantage of the sharp bend!"

"It's just like how we usually train. When entering a corner, we can more decisively stick to the inside. We've trained for this, so it's definitely not a problem!"
"Then...then..."

After thinking for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she pointed behind her:

“We’ve practiced so many chases and cuts, and I’ve been responsible for chasing quite a few times, so you can try to use that feeling from those situations to keep a close eye on the side!”

This time, after Kita Genkoto finished speaking, Yasui Makoto didn't wait for her to come over and verify, and asked with a smile:

"anything else?"

"besides……?"

The Northern Black Steed paused, then its ears twitched:
"Ah! And the changes in wind pressure that I can feel with my body!"
"If the opponent speeds up... yes, for example, when Oguri-senpai and the others start to speed up, we've talked about it before. Just like me, the airflow she creates will become different, it will be 'tighter' and more oppressive, and the feeling of it hitting my side will be more obvious!"

"At that time, just listening might not be enough; the body has to react first, and the core must be tensed up immediately!"
