Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 83 Try to win over your predecessors

Northern Xuanju was very nervous.

It's not that she hasn't experienced competitions before, she has also witnessed many big scenes with her grandfather and father.

However, in those scenes, she was never the focus. Only when she won the game and was on the winner's stage did she receive all kinds of attention.

At this moment, she still felt that she was not the focus.

She could see that the banners and cheers in the audience were all for the seniors, who were the focus of this training match.

However, she could still feel that standing among such famous seniors, many eyes were looking at her with envy.

But after a moment of tension, she quickly tried to divert her attention.

This is a technique that his grandfather and trainer had taught him.

Her grandfather told her a long time ago that even though she had performed on stage countless times, she would still feel inexplicably nervous sometimes.

At this time, Grandpa would drink his favorite soda.

According to my grandfather, after drinking a bottle of soda, I can quickly focus on the subsequent singing.

The trainer said something similar.

If you want to become a miraculous horse girl, it is important to keep your original intention in any situation.

For horse girls, nothing is more important than running and competing.

So when the game is approaching, if you are nervous or have other uncomfortable emotions, think more about how to play next.

Thinking of this, Beibu Xuanju pursed his lips, quietly clenched his fingers, and his eyes wandered over Te Bie Zhou and others.

Noticing her expression, Yasui Makoto nodded secretly.

Mentality is crucial to the game.

Under the arrangement of Qi Trough, Ming Sheng Lei Dong has been training frequently with Northern Black Colt these days in order to adjust his easily irritable personality.

Beibu Xuanju doesn't have much problem in this regard, and her cheerful personality makes it easier for her to maintain a stable mentality.

I often remind them of these things and have also taught them the corresponding mediation methods.

From now on, it seems that I, the horse racing girl, was nervous for a while, but now I have adjusted myself in time.

After confirming this, Yasui Shin had some new ideas. He retracted his gaze and looked at the Emperor of the East China Sea and Mejiro McQueen.

"But it would be nice to have more audiences," he continued, following up on the previous topic, "It would be an experience for Xiaobei and for me.

"I want to talk to Xiaobei about something. Can I ask you two to take care of the drone inspection?"

After a recent review and with the help of the university department, drones, a new type of training tool, have been approved.

The performance has also been optimized, the size is smaller than the original, and the software and hardware effects are better.

The exterior is painted in a special light green color and a layer of paint is added. This color and paint will hardly attract the attention of the horse girl at high speed.

In addition, Yasui Makoto also ordered three additional new drones at the suggestion of the university department.

With four drones, we can simultaneously shoot from above, left and right, and behind to obtain more detailed and high-definition video of the game.

The university department had previously tested this shooting method and the results were very good. Now it is a good opportunity to try it out in actual combat.

The Emperor of the East Sea and Mejiro McQueen were very concerned about this matter from the beginning.

They came to watch the game in person this time to cheer for Northern Black Horse and see the current situation of their old friends. Another purpose was to confirm the effectiveness of the drone.

"No problem. McQueen and I have reviewed the evaluation and operating manual sent by the university department. We will be given these."

The Emperor of the East China Sea nodded and pointed to a location near the stands outside the playground.

There is a temporary platform with tables, chairs, microphones and other equipment.

Pointing to the platform, she said, “Let’s go directly over there and get ready.

"By the way, with so many people watching the game today, we two guild leaders might as well give a try as guest commentators."

Nodding gratefully, he watched the two horse girls walk towards the stands. Yasui Shin turned around, thought for a moment, and said to Tokugawa Shuu and the other horse girls:

"If President Emperor and the others are in charge of the commentary, you'll have to follow their instructions for the start of the game." You can go to the gate and prepare first.

"I want to talk to Xiaobei briefly."

Except for Northern Black Horse, several horse racing girls here have experienced many competitions, quite a few of which are top prizes, so things like entering the gate are naturally no problem.

So they nodded, and Zhou and the others waved to Northern Xuanju, and walked towards the gate while joking with each other with a hint of nostalgia.

"A competition... Oh, if I had known there would be a competition today, I should have started preparing right after I got back... No, I should have started preparing half a year in advance."

“…Yamato, you’re going too far. This is just a training match…”

"So what if it's just a training match? As long as it's a competition, I'll definitely strive for first place! But even if I'm not well prepared, I won't lose. Just wait and see!"

"Yamato's competitive spirit is still so strong, haha..."

"Xiao Te, have you been training in these years?"

"Training... I usually run a bit, like when I deliver goods to town or go to the mountains. I always run."

"Oh? Looks like everyone's not slacking off. Great! That's what makes it fun! You all need to give it your all, and be careful not to get overtaken by me, the Golden Ship!"

As the group of seniors walked towards the gate, Beibu Xuanju's eyes were always glued to them, his eyes full of longing and fighting spirit.

Then she turned her head and looked at An Jingzhen curiously.

"Trainer, what are you going to say...?"

While asking, her mind was also thinking rapidly, wondering if there was something she was not prepared for.

Yasui Zhen pondered for a moment.

"According to the running routine I arranged for you, it's indeed very difficult to do this, but... have you ever thought about defeating your predecessors in this training match?"

Suddenly, the Northern Black Colt's ears stood up.

After a while...

“Eh—?! Defeat, defeat the seniors…?!”

After exclaiming, she looked at the gate in astonishment and began to stammer.

"This this……"

"What's wrong? Do you think it's impossible, or do you have other ideas?" Yasui Zhen smiled.

“Maybe it’s impossible…”

Beibu Xuanju hesitated again and scratched his head.

"I don't know how to put it, it's just... it's too sudden. The trainer didn't mention this before..."

"It was very sudden."

Yasui didn't deny it, "As I just said, the goal for this training match has already been set for you.

“I have also confirmed with Yamato Akagi and the others’ running style and tactics individually.

"From these aspects, the possibility of you defeating them now is... probably zero.

"But, Xiaobei, do you remember what you said before?"

Northern Xuanju was stunned.

"What was that you said before?"

"'At least I can outperform my predecessors for once,' that's what the original words were."

Looking at the black-haired girl's surprised eyes, Yasui Zhen's tone was filled with praise and encouragement.

“I thought you’d be nervous playing a game like this against seniors, but you did really well.

"So maybe I'm being a little over the top, but I hope you can not only stay calm, but also go one step further and beat your predecessors.

"At least we can win once. Isn't this a chance?"
