Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 654 Guidance of the Wings

In an instant, the format of the entire pre-battle meeting quietly changed.

Yasui Makoto's calm and clear voice intertwined with Kita Genko's passionate and metaphorical explanations, creating a unique harmony and efficiency.

His almond-shaped eyes brightened, and his comprehension speed visibly increased.

Watching from the side, Misuzuki's face showed an extremely satisfied and gratified smile.

Her gaze darted between her son and Northern Black Horse for a moment, then she turned slightly to the side and whispered to Alice and Yamato Akaki beside her:
"Is this how you usually hold meetings...?"

Alice watched the two interacting with great interest, especially Kita Genko's unprecedentedly active "instructional" state. Hearing this, she chuckled and shook her head:

“Kuku… no, that’s not it. Usually, Yasui does all the talking, and we just listen and add to what he says. But it seems like now…”

She drew out her words, a hint of surprise in her tone:
"It seems that Yasui has completely accepted Kobei's idea of ​​becoming his 'assistant,' and the effect is... surprisingly good."

"It seems that the format of future training meetings will need to be changed."

Yamato Akama nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, Xiao Bei's way of explaining things is very unique, and it seems particularly easy for Xing Mu to understand. Maybe... in the future, Xiao Bei can explain some technical points as well, which might be more effective for Xing Mu."

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes tilted their little faces up, blinking their big eyes as they watched the three people interacting efficiently and in perfect harmony.

Although she didn't quite understand some of the tactical details, she really liked the atmosphere of mutual trust and working together towards the same goal, and murmured softly:
"Everyone is so amazing... I feel so at ease..."

Misuzu's smile deepened, tinged with understanding and ambiguity, as she repeated in a low voice:
"Oh? You just... want to become an 'assistant'..."

"Hmm? Xiao Bei wants to become a trainer's assistant..." Yamato Akaki seemed a little confused and blinked. "Didn't you mention this to your aunt before?"

Misuzu simply smiled and waved her hand, saying vaguely:

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I think it's really... wonderful that Xiao Bei is working so hard for this goal."

These words did not attract Yamato Akaki's attention; her mind was focused on the "new abilities" that Kita Genko was currently displaying.

Not only her, but also Alice, Yasui Makoto, and even Kita Genko himself were paying attention to this.

This preparation, which focused primarily on events, unexpectedly revealed a completely new possibility.

Northern Genko's goal of becoming an "assistant trainer" seems to be integrating into the team's operations in a way that exceeds expectations.

Yasui Makoto clearly realized that, given the opportunity, he would like to spend more time establishing and refining this new training model, with him in charge of macro tactics and data analysis, and Kita Genko serving as the most direct "translation bridge" and point of resonance between him and Saima Musume.

Kita Genko herself gradually came to understand, and she used her own experience and language to genuinely help Yasui Makoto better guide Anzume, making her efforts feel real.

She felt as if she had finally grasped the ropes of being an "assistant," even if she was just a newbie. This feeling of being able to share specific tasks for the team and for Yasui Makoto made her full of energy, and the light in her eyes shone even brighter.

Alice and Yamato Akaki also keenly noticed this change.

Previously, they received training and guidance primarily as racehorse girls, and their involvement in tactical discussions and "guidance" as team members was relatively rare.

This novel and more engaging model has piqued their interest, and they plan to observe it further.

However, this competition is ultimately a carnival event and does not require the level of preparation typical of competitive events, nor does it allow for sufficient time.

So, taking into account the characteristics of the venue and information about the opponents, the group discussed for about half an hour, and the main tactical framework and points to note were clarified. Just then, Yasui Makoto's phone rang.

It was a call from Xinxin Guanghui, informing them that the "debut segment" of the event was about to begin and asking them to lead the athletes to the training ground.

Although the preparation requirements were not high, the event organizers arranged the appearance segment in a very professional and ceremonial manner.

When everyone returned to the training ground, the atmosphere was completely different from when they came to register. A wave of heat and noise hit them.

On the other side of the track used for official competitions, the stands were already packed with people.

Cheers, whistles, and the host's enthusiastic introduction through the loudspeaker rose and fell, weaving together a vibrant background symphony.

Carnival-themed inflatable dolls and colorful flags adorned the stands, while the enticing aroma of popcorn and grilled sausages filled the air, enveloping the tension of the competition in festive joy and relaxation.

Although not as grand as the Tokyo Racecourse, the near-full house attendance and unbridled enthusiasm made it just as lively as any major race.

Before even approaching the training ground, Northern Black Horse spotted the brand-new radiance and Tamamo Cross in the crowd, and quickly jogged forward, waving vigorously:
"Radiant Senior! Tamamo-senpai!"

Upon hearing the sound, the brand-new radiance turned around, smiled, and nodded in response.

Tamamo Cross then looked over, waved vigorously, and responded in a clear, loud voice:
"Oh! They came so quickly!"

She then deftly pointed to the almond-shaped eyes, then towards the track, and explained:
"You've come at the perfect time. Almond stays here and warms up with the team. You can go directly to the gate later; the announcement will follow."

"As for you..."

Her gaze swept over Genkobuki, Makoto Yasui, and the others:

"He's a special guest, so he can sit with us and Guanghui in the audience. There are some good seats for him."

"Huh? In that case..."

Northern Black Steed blinked, somewhat surprised: "This is completely different from the Big Prize Race..."

"That's for sure!"

Tamamo grinned, revealing her sharp canine teeth, and said cheerfully:
"To be honest, the whole process of the big prize competition is too complicated. This kind of activity is much better, it's relaxed and comfortable!"
"The best thing about racehorses is that they can run whenever they want!"

As she spoke, she gestured with her chin towards Almond Eyes:

"Alright, leave the kid to the staff here. You can come with me to the stands without worry. We still have to do the commentary with Guanghui later, so we need to head over now!"

"Yes! We'll be right there. Please lead the way, Tamamo-senpai!"

Northern Black Horse quickly responded, but before she could finish speaking, her gaze involuntarily drifted to the departing figure of Almond Eyes.

Just as she was about to walk towards the training field assembly area, Xingmu seemed to sense the heavy gaze from her.

She stopped, turned around, paused for a moment, then flashed a bright, energetic smile and nodded vigorously:

"No problem, Senior Xiao Bei! Whether it's the warm-up or the match later, I won't let you, the trainers, or anyone else down!"
