Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 9 Xiaobei, you are such a genius
It seems that she really noticed this.

Thinking of this, Yasui nodded and said:
"Your strength level is exceptional even among horse girls, but this makes it more difficult for you to control your body than others, which is why other trainers believe you can only run short distances.

"To use a less appropriate analogy, it's like someone else's fist weighs one ton, and yours weighs ten tons. After training, your fist is definitely more powerful.

"But without enough training, it's hard to control your fists."

"My fist... ten tons is too much, trainer."

Raising his little fist in front of him and looking at it, Northern Xuanju smiled foolishly, then nodded and said:

"But I kind of understand what the trainer means. So how should I practice?"

"It's good if you understand."

Yasui nodded approvingly, then said patiently:
"Power control is a very complex matter, involving a wide range of factors, so it is just a superficial phenomenon.

"And I would say one of the issues is your gait and your running form."

He gripped the training ground fence and lifted his feet off the ground.

"When I watched the tapes these past few days, I noticed that your gait was very chaotic and your rhythm was a mess.

"The vast majority of the time, the gait you use in competition is the 'striking step'.

"Simply put, it's the front foot landing, the back foot landing, then the front foot, then the back foot, followed by a short period of flying, and so on."

As he spoke, he slowly performed the gait used by horse girls in competitions.

"With each jump as the dividing line, a set of 'strike steps' has four touches on the ground, so it can be regarded as 'four beats'.

"However, the gaits you use in training are not just the gait of the gallop, but also the gait of the canter.

"Front foot, back foot, front foot, and air—these are the three beats of running.

"The rhythms of the two gaits are completely different. Generally, when a horse girl is running, she either becomes disorganized or slows down. More likely, it's both disorganized and slow.

"And you, my classmate Xiaobei..."

After demonstrating the "running" gait, Yasui Shin let go of his hand, dropped it to the ground, and laughed.

"You can actually run a decent training speed even though you're randomly interspersed with three or four beats. Should I say you're a genius, or a prodigy?"

Northern Xuanju was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Hey, trainer, you don't have to praise me like that..."

...It seems like she can't tell that I'm being sarcastic?

Feeling a little suffocated, An Jingzhen rubbed his forehead and fell into deep thought.

There is a lot of fighting and martial arts involved in extreme stunts, and to master the essence of them, one needs to have a sufficient understanding of the human body and injuries.

The application of that knowledge in training horse girls may not reach the best level in the industry, but it certainly has many unique features.

Especially since we have made a rough comparison before, the timeline of this world is more than ten years earlier than the previous life, and many of his concepts can be said to be quite advanced.

The overall level of the Japanese horse racing girl industry is not very high, which gives him more room to perform.

For example, power control.

If the other trainers in the academy knew how to handle this and allowed Northern Xuanju to fully control her various talents, she would become famous in no time and it would not be his turn to guide this horse girl.

Since this did not happen, and the data described the Northern Black Horse as "only good at short-distance competitions", we can only say that those people really don't know the value of a horse.

His disadvantages are also obvious.

From his past life to this life, he has no experience with girls of Beibu Xuanju's age.

The experience of an extreme stuntman and a coach is not exactly the same. If he wants to guide Beibu Xuanju to fully realize her natural potential and become an outstanding horse girl, he also needs to slowly explore and learn. For example, now that he knows that this horse girl has a somewhat reckless and straightforward personality, it would be better to avoid any roundabout words in the future.

"I'm not praising you. Don't forget what I said at the beginning about your gait being a mess. Switching between two gaits is not a good thing."

With a new decision and enlightenment, after explaining it directly, he saw the smug look on Kitagawa Xuanju's face freeze instantly. After thinking about it, Yasui Zhen tried to use a comforting tone.

"But don't worry, since I've pointed out your problem, there must be a solution.

"follow me."

After signaling Kitaguchi Xuanju to hand over the tablet and stopwatch in his arms, An Jingzhen walked towards the teaching building.

Subconsciously following, Beibu Xuanju looked at the playground behind him with some confusion.

"Trainer, aren't we...going to continue training here?"

Sliding the tablet, Yasui Zhen answered casually:

“Not for now.

“You usually have basic training courses, and I will be there to watch afterwards.

"So the next step is to arrange some special training for you."

The course schedule of Tresen Academy is similar to that of other colleges and universities. There are various academic classes in the morning and before 3 or 4 pm, and there are also outdoor classes.

In addition to the regular teaching of Chinese, mathematics, etc., the academic courses will also teach a lot of general knowledge about Uma Musume competitions, such as the competition system, venues, and development history.

Outdoor classes include sports training such as running and swimming, but they are also basic teaching.

After signing an agreement with the trainer, after the morning and afternoon classes are over, the trainer will arrange targeted special training based on the specific situation of the horse girl.

It is now the training time after the course ends. There are many horse racing girls undergoing special training on the playground just now. On the way to the teaching area, you can also see their hard-working figures on other fields along the way.

Instead of entering the teaching building, we came to the dance hall in the comprehensive building.

The dance hall is very large, and it seems there is no problem for a hundred people to do exercises at the same time.

There are not many people training, about thirty or so.

Three teachers were each leading more than ten horse girls to practice dance steps, and there were quite a lot of empty spaces.

Just as he entered the dance hall, An Jing really wanted to say hello to the teachers, but Beibu Xuanju suddenly whispered:

"Ah! It's Crown-chan..."

Hearing this, Yasui Shin unconsciously glanced at Kita no Genju, who was covering her mouth with her hands and looking at her with longing, and then followed her gaze to look at a horse girl who was practicing dancing.

The horse racing girl had long black hair and dark green pupils. As she stretched her waist and moved around, she had a faint, confident smile on her face.

Judging from the swinging of her arms and the dance steps of her feet, she is obviously the best dancer among the horse girls who are practicing.

"Crown...Satomi Crown?"

Thinking about the name that Northern Xuanju had just mentioned, An Jingzhen quickly remembered a piece of information.

"The eldest daughter of the Satomi family?"

"Yeah! I'm in the same class with her and her sister. Oh, and I'm in the same dorm with Guang Zuan-chan!"

Unconsciously, Northern Xuanju's voice became a little louder, and he seemed faintly excited.

"Crown-chan is amazing! She debuted last year and has won two consecutive titles! She's truly outstanding!"
