Uma Musume no Nama no Nichijou (Horse Girl), First and foremost

I still have to suppress my instincts and move forward firmly...

Chapter 85 Topic

[Trexon Academy Practice Race, Chicago, 2000 meters]

"Although I really don't want to complain, I can only say that you are truly worthy of being the president. Even the name of the practice match is so plain and unpretentious."

Hearing the Emperor, who was also the referee, announce the name of the match, Golden Victory still couldn't help but want to complain:

"After all, it's a practice match held on the spot. Knowing the match information is enough; the name and such are secondary information."

"If there are no other issues, let's get started."

Seeing the two players already standing on the field, ready to go, Rudolf gave them a subtle reminder.

Both of them assumed the starting stance.

As the student council president, and considering that the playground is usually unused early in the morning.

Rudolf symbolizes the right to use the gate obtained through non-student council means.

Yes, unlike Kasamatsu Tressen Academy, which requires complicated application procedures for teaching positions.

At Central Treson Academy, as long as you apply to the school or student council in advance and actually have the right to use the venue for that time period, even if you are just a student, you can obtain the right to use it.

"No problem!" "No problem at all!"

Both of them have adjusted themselves to their current best condition.

Although it's not the same attitude as during a competition...

However, since being kicked out of the G1 series, Golden Victory has almost never reached a serious state.

Furthermore, the Emperor of the East Sea was merely a rookie who had only participated in the selection competition, so naturally he had no idea what the so-called competition experience was like.

Signal ready!

Exit signal issued!

Almost simultaneously, Pure White Horse Girl Golden Victory and Genius Race Horse Girl Tokai Emperor were launched from the gate at the same time!

As for the emperor, after completing the gate exit procedure, she slowly moved to the finish line to prepare.

The machine had already been adjusted, but rather than knowing the results through the machine, she still wanted to confirm all the details of the competition with her own eyes.

What troubled her slightly was the East Sea Emperor and the Golden Victory; Rudolph wanted to understand the details of their matches.

Hmm... this choice of who should take the lead and who should take the lead is really difficult to make...

Of course, Miss Rudolph's hesitation had no effect on the two who had already started the race.

The two used similar running styles, and their white and brown figures, dressed in sportswear, sped along the track.

Even though the playground is spacious, everyone should be able to concentrate on their own training.

However, the contest between Golden Victory and East Sea Emperor at this moment still attracted the attention of the racehorse girls who wanted to focus on their own training, as well as their trainers.

This group of people had already found the best viewing spots when the two entered the gate, and they became the "spectators" of this practice match.

Well, it's worth noting that these people initially chose to distance themselves from the East Sea Emperor and Golden Victory...

"The White Disaster and the Emperor of the East Sea have started their competition."

"Both of them started so fast."

"For medium-distance courses, shouldn't the stamina management not be too strict?"

"A senior figure taking advantage of a newcomer who hasn't even debuted yet? That's too much of a bullying move on the Empress!"

"What are you talking about? You really think that the longer someone has been in the industry, the more capable they are? Then why do they retire?"

Despite the infamy of Golden Victory, East Sea Emperor possesses the popularity accumulated by the new generation in the three selection matches.

However, those present were not ordinary spectators, but members of Central Teresen Academy, mostly trainers and racehorse girls from nearby competitions.

As they are involved in relevant professional projects, they naturally wouldn't view these issues with a superficial perspective.

"I heard that Bai Zai has been able to maintain his full strength this long because he has been keeping the intensity of the competition relatively low... By the way, do you guys know just how strong Bai Zai is?"

"The Foul-Fouled Racehorse Girl Who Almost Won the Classic Triple Crown?"

"It seems he even won the Spring Imperial Award twice in a row?"

“I vaguely remember that. I did some research when I was preparing for the Osaka Cup. The White Disaster team won the championship.”

"Oh right, I think she also won the Arima Kinen Race, the White Disaster, before..."

Everyone: "......"

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

They seem to have discovered a somewhat frightening fact today.

Although news of the gold medal victory has been largely shelved.

However, since it is a competition record, those who want to study the same competition content over the years will more or less know that the winner of a certain year was the one who won.

Of course, more often than not, we see news of Golden Victory being disqualified...

But when they put together these fragmented pieces of information that they usually only glanced at and didn't have a detailed impression of,

They suddenly realized that the true strength of this pure white horse girl was far more terrifying than they had imagined...

Suddenly, they discovered that this Golden Victory was on par with the East Sea Emperor, who was currently full of energy and striving to realize his talents, and even in their eyes, there was an element of seniority and deference from the senior.

My understanding of this "White Disaster" stemmed from this coincidence.

This small group of viewers, numbering less than twenty, learned some facts about the pure white horse girl.

It was as if by unspoken agreement that, in the early January winter, we gasped for a truly chilly breath.

After all, it's extremely rare these days for a golden Victory to hold a public race outside of a competition setting...

Of course, even if these people know some of the past of Golden Victory, or even change their views on this practice match because of it.

However, none of this had any impact on the current competition or the content of the challenge.

The East Sea Emperor steadily adapted to controlling its body on the racetrack, its movements graceful and fluid, almost reaching the best level a racehorse girl could perform.

It ensured a consistent speed without affecting the rhythm and allowed the user to maintain a leading position, while also conserving a good amount of energy due to overall coordination.

This extra energy is to prepare for other changes in the opponent's performance.

This also includes conserving energy to deal with the so-called influence of momentum.

For Central Racehorse Girls, preparing for the potential impact of momentum in the early and mid-game is an advanced lesson that racehorse girls who want to shine in Central Racehorse Girls must learn.

Aside from alertness and defense, the primary use of these remaining stamina points is...

Of course, it's still the sprint that takes place at crucial moments!

The problem is that she was still a little apprehensive about her race plan when facing this senior figure next to her.

It's important to know that Golden Victory isn't someone who easily becomes the East Blue Emperor Trainer just because of his seniority and status.

She's still an active racehorse girl.

At least the top-tier kind.

Oh well! Why worry about all that!

Just keep running!

Anyway, Senior White Disaster said that this is a challenge opportunity for her!

Knowing that there is a gap between himself and the Golden Victory, even though the opponent may no longer be at his peak based on the timeline.

and many more? !

The thought had just crossed my mind.

The Emperor of the East Sea finally realized that something was wrong with him.

Ping often enjoys running and the feeling of being swept up in the wind on the track.

There aren't that many thoughts to think about!

The moment the thought arose, it was as if someone had gently pushed her.

The East Sea Emperor's previously near-perfect racing rhythm faltered less than a minute into the race...

"How mean..."

"Why use psychological warfare against a junior? Can't you just compete with them in a race?"

Seeing the current situation, the well-informed Rudolf immediately guessed what Golden Victory had done to the Emperor of the East Sea.

Caution, vigilance, guidance...

Then it's about inducing them to collapse on their own...

While running, he noticed the changes in the East Sea Emperor and began to ponder the underlying issues.

Oh, you can't take it so quickly?

It's unclear whether the issue stems from a lack of focus or from overly fragmented thinking.

This practice match was more of a test for Golden Victory's own team's racehorses, focusing on aspects that cannot be directly observed or analyzed from the data on paper.

As they swayed forward and ran, the race was now almost halfway through.

However, Golden Victory never made any aggressive moves.

Of course, it's not like today's Golden Victory Miss decided to give up on Hai after receiving that very sincere bow before the Imperial Palace match.

The question is a test, and if you ask further, it's either the other party's parent or Rudolf, a symbol of their own strategic partner. This president is actually nearby as a referee for the practice match.

If you really want to know the reason, there's another one: the racehorse girls and trainers from Central Teresen Academy who got up early and came to the playground.

When there are outsiders watching, you definitely have to give your own popular little pony girl some face, right?

Even if Golden Victory were to actually make a move, they certainly couldn't do what they did with Oguri Hat and Fujimasa March before, where they started with such disgusting tactics that prevented them from even getting a good start.

As for the disruption of the rhythm, the Emperor of the East Sea quickly adjusted himself as soon as he realized his mistake.
