Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 95 Guidance from Northern Xuanju

Bringing the newly-acquainted Xingmu to the playground, Beibu Xuanju covered his chest and took a deep breath, then turned and said with a smile: "Little Xingmu, do you know how to warm up?"

Little Xingme...?
She had been paying silent attention to the senior beside her, but when she heard this address, her eyes blinked unconsciously.

"...Yes. My elders taught me."

As expected, Xiao Xingmu also comes from a big family... Beibu Xuanju nodded in understanding.

In the classroom corridor, she only asked Xingmu some questions about running and did not ask about her family situation.

However, she vaguely felt that this junior had some similarities in temperament to the Satomi sisters, and should have a good background.

Now that it was confirmed, she recalled Yasui Shin's daily teachings, as well as the training of Satomi Crown and Mingsheng Leidong, and pointed to the runway.

"Then let's start with warming up. I'll sort some things out here."

"it is good."

Without any hesitation, he nodded, keeping an eye on Northern Black Horse, and began to stretch on the spot with his apricot eyes.

After feeling about ready, she adjusted her breathing and quickly ran towards the runway.

After stepping onto the runway, her eyes still lingered on Northern Black Horse.

She was told from a young age that she had to demonstrate the family's glory in the short distance races in England, and the training and teaching she received focused on the 1000m to 1800m.

At first, she didn't understand what the Shining Series was all about, so she just followed her family's arrangements.

As I grew up, I witnessed longer distance races and exciting competitions on the track, and an irresistible yearning for this began to grow in my heart.

She hopes to break through the family's glory and limitations and show herself on more and longer stages.

She tried to express her aspirations to her parents and family, but was harshly rejected.

After a few times, she stopped mentioning it.

Just as there is no point in playing a game that cannot be won, there is no point in having a conversation that cannot change the outcome.

She decided to find a way to surpass the 1800-meter limit on her own.

Because of this, she happened to see the Northern Black Horse race, and out of curiosity, she quietly asked her family a lot about it.

The result surprised her.

Before her debut, many people had a fairly consistent opinion of this senior, believing that she could only run short distances in the future.

However, after his debut, his three consecutive victories in the mid-range made that kind of evaluation disappear without a trace.

After learning all this, Xingmu has been thinking about how to get in touch with this senior and ask him how to break through the limitations of outside eyes and distance.

I didn't expect to meet you by chance during this event.

It was called "Little Gaoyueshang" and the race was naturally 2000 meters, which was exactly the distance she had been looking forward to.

So, how will this senior guide me?
With doubts and thoughts, after completing the warm-up, Xingmu ran back to Beifang Xuanju impatiently.

"Senior, I'm done warming up."

When she spoke, her tone was calm, without any hint of expectation or anxiety, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Beifang Xuanju's feet and hands.

She saw it during the warm-up. The senior took out a lot of notebooks from his backpack. Some were the size of a palm, and some were as big as textbooks and exercise books.

Most of the notebooks have obvious wear and tear, probably because they are often read, but the rest are in mint condition.

In addition to notebooks, there are also tools such as tablets and stopwatches.

Xingmu felt that this should be the preparation made by the seniors for the competition.

"Hmm! A very good warm-up. It seems that Xingmu-chan trains very hard."

Holding a tablet in one hand and a small notebook in the other, Kita no Xuanju praised him and then looked at the notebook. "So, next... just run 1000 meters the way you're used to, okay?"

Hearing the number 1000 meters, Xingmu frowned unconsciously.

Sprint events are from 1000 to 1400 meters, while the mile is from 1401 to 1800 meters.

She has been hearing numbers in this range every day since she was a child, and her ears are almost callused.

But she quickly relaxed her brow, nodded calmly, and turned towards the runway.

"Shall we start now, Senior?"

"Yes! Right now, let me adjust the stopwatch."

Picking up the stopwatch hanging around his neck, Beibu Xuanju adjusted it for a moment, then raised his hand and said with great energy, "Then listen to me count down to three. Three, two... one!"

A strong wind blew in her face, and in Northern Xuanju's sight, the little horse girl in front of her rushed out like an arrow, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

What an amazing start, and this speed and burst... so fast!
After being surprised for a moment, she quickly came back to her senses and stared at Xingmu's figure, quickly pressing the stopwatch every time she rushed past the distance sign.

From the jogging steps to now, Kitaguchi Genju has been imitating Yasui Shin's daily training, and some of the conversations between the two before and after training are also included.

She carefully recorded every key point of these contents in her notebook, and would rewrite them after returning to the dormitory, and take them out to review when she had time.

For this event, she even bought a few new notebooks and used her previous notes to write a guide on how to teach children to run.

The key summary was in the small notebook in her hand.

What she is currently working on is the first item in the summary. She needs to confirm Xingmu's basic condition first.

Just like what Yasui Zhen did for her in the beginning.

After Xingmu finished running 1000 meters and made a simple calculation comparing it with the records in the small notebook, Northern Black Horse was surprised again.

Her almond-shaped eyes had obviously not yet fully developed, her arms and legs were still small, and her height only reached her chest.

However, in the last 1000 meters, Xingmu ran at a speed of nearly 15 meters per second.

This is almost at the level of entering the mainstream.

In Beibu Xuanju's impression, even after she became an authentic character, her initial training results were only over 15 meters per second.

It can be said that the talent of this young junior in front of her may be even better than hers, at least in terms of speed.

In addition to these, probably because of his own abundant physical strength, Northern Xuanju also noticed Xingmu's physical condition.

With these thoughts in mind, the girl continued to arrange the test and kept thinking.

In this case, Xiao Xingmu's sprinting ability should be quite good. Perhaps he could run a little further back and then charge forward with his last breath...

No, the trainer said that mastering the best time to sprint requires experience. Xiao Xingmu has never run a race before...so he can't fall too far behind.

So it's the lead position? But the physical exertion of this position... can Xiao Xingmu withstand it?
You can't fall too far behind, you can't choose to go behind or chase after, and going ahead will test your physical strength...

Should I let Xiao Xingmu try to run away like me...?
Wow... It's so hard to decide. Is being a trainer really that difficult?
No, you can't think like that!

Xiaobei, Xiaobei, it's rare that Xiao Xingmu trusts you so much. You also told the trainer that you would perform well, so you can't be discouraged now!

Hmm... maybe I need to see what happens to Xiao Xingmu...

correct!

After a while of feeling embarrassed and excited, Beibu Xuanju's eyes suddenly lit up and he waved towards Xingmu who had just finished a test on the runway.

"Hey - Xiao Xingmu, I have an idea! Come and run with me now!"
