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

Even the East Sea Emperor, who was equally skilled at running and had exceptional racing talent, was unable to get going due to his leg problems caused by his previous setbacks.

Well, the two sides do have some differences in their areas of expertise.

"Ah! Racer number 20, Oguri Hat, is now in first place and is gradually widening the gap with the other racer girls! No racer girl can keep up with her acceleration!"

The commentators were deeply moved by this normal scene, even though they had received training in interpreting the momentum and techniques.

The problem is that the information the Uma Musume Association has gathered on momentum and techniques means that new and unknown maneuvers are likely to occur in every high-stakes match, causing great distress to the commentators.

Fortunately, the audience was mostly confused, and could only see the most obvious things like who suddenly took the lead, who suddenly caught up, or who suddenly stopped moving. They rarely doubted what the commentators were saying.

He even heard that due to issues of fairness in the competition, the information they provide will be further restricted, meaning that the condition of other female racehorses will not be known.

He really wanted to complain that no racehorse girl would be so idle during the tense moments of a race that she would have the extra attention to listen to the information they were reporting while the contest of momentum, technique, and racing skills was underway.

The problem is, he's my boss. Saying something like that is tantamount to giving up my job. After some consideration, I still have no choice but to become a regular sports commentator...

In the blink of an eye, we've already passed more than half of the straight track. With the efforts of the teams ahead, we're about to pass the third turn on the straight after half a lap.

Oguri's acceleration on the straightaway clearly boosted the overall pace, but even so, everyone could see that this goose-haired horse girl was steadily widening the gap with the team.

As for the horse girls following these seven racehorses, perhaps they were already hopelessly outmatched by the leading pack, and their opponents...

Sense of presence and techniques?

It's fine to deal with the other sixteen female racehorses next to her, but don't even think about the opponents who have already pulled ahead by a hundred meters.

The best chance to compete with those popular racehorse girls is decided at the very start of the race.

They looked like they'd suffered a setback, but those guys were the first to recover and immediately started running forward.

Her eyes widened, her body trembled with anger, but she could only watch helplessly as the popular racehorse girls moved forward, while she was forced to lag behind them.

Even now, they still harbor some resentment towards the decisions made by other racehorse girls at the start of the race, and even believe that some people are exploiting loopholes in the rules to pave the way for popular racehorse girls ahead.

After all, there is a gap between the current momentum techniques and the rules of the Uma Musume Association. Revising the rules basically requires a lot of rigorous treatment and testing. Otherwise, frequent disruptions will damage the credibility of Uma Musume racing and may even affect the development of momentum techniques.

At first, they let it go unchecked, and didn't take any action as long as there were no obvious violations.

This was the immediate assessment made by Kim Seung-ri, the head of the Mood and Skills Management Department, and was further supported by the Board of Directors of the Horse Girls Association to advance the process.

Now......

just now!

Just keep trying!

With its legs already sprinting at the end of the straight, the female horses behind it seemed to have lost all interest in competing against each other or even holding each other back.

That was a sprint that required a lot of physical exertion, and what was surprising was that it was a coordinated collective sprint!

From their previous lagging position, they sprinted forward to catch up, and judging from the attitude of those racehorses, they didn't even intend to strive for a better ranking!

Even if we lose, we have to drag one or two of those high and mighty horse girls down with us!

The tangible resentment became the driving force behind the momentum, and at the same time, the momentum that spread forward was also felt at the back of the team.

This can't go on!

The female racehorse, positioned behind the first group, immediately made her judgment.

However, it was only then that Super Little Bay noticed the changes in the team.

Eh?

When will Megumi Ardan...?

From fifth to fourth, it secretly overtook the soccer team, as if it knew a tsunami was about to hit from behind, and quickened its pace to a position where it would not be affected by the teams behind it.

Seemingly sensing someone looking at her from behind, she didn't react, but judging from the movement of the other person's tail, it was as if she had greeted her.

The moment I realized it, a tremendous force from behind came crashing down on land like a tsunami, with a terrifying force!

The target is the racehorse girl in the team ahead!

Super Little Bay: "?!!"

Yae no Invincible: "?! ...

This is the stubbornness of an ordinary racehorse girl!

You've underestimated us!

You've taken advantage of us!

Today we will rise above our inferiors!

Chapter 233 Calculation Beyond the Limits

"Tsk tsk, I never expected to crash and burn here."

The audience member in the audience witnessed the entire plot twists and turns, finding it thrilling, inspiring, and even giving the illusion of showcasing the brilliance of an ordinary person.

Both being popular horse girls who were also attacked by powerful techniques, they tried their best to resist this fate-like outcome.

And then... that was it. Naturally, the seventeen horse girls dragged these two horse girls from the front of the line to their side.

Seeing this tragic situation, Representative Qianming couldn't help but ask his friend beside him:

"White Disaster, if you were in that position, would you be saved?"

"What? That's nothing. Even though we haven't been able to run around for several months, our gang of kids have no chance of taking me down in terms of momentum."

"One deflects to reduce contact, another uses momentum to create a clash of energies, and the rest is used to stimulate the body. It's an easy solution."

She spoke with great confidence, and indeed, Golden Victory had enough confidence to actually perform similar maneuvers in practice.

The problem is that she wasn't conducting the experiment on the competition field. The aura of her own friends outside the competition field was ultimately lacking. It felt like the future opponents had directly turned into adults bullying children.

They may not be able to handle it now, but Pure White Horse Girl is certain that there will be a solution even if they face this situation in the future.

All I can say is that my aura and skills are constantly improving.

"You should know that's not what I meant. What I meant was that the rules regarding momentum techniques need to be made clearer. Our Horse Girls Association even considered using energy meters to detect violations of momentum techniques during competitions."

It's difficult to determine whether a display of force or technique violates regulations, especially at this time of year.

During its early stages, efforts were made to promote momentum techniques throughout the entire Japanese horse racing community. From spectators to racers and partner manufacturers, everyone understood the importance of momentum techniques in modern horse racing, so the tolerance for any behavior was very high.

To put it bluntly, as long as you don't kill Ma Niang on the field, there will basically be no reaction in other situations. At most, you'll just give her a warning. Even if a murder does happen, you can just arrest a certain person in charge of the aura and skills management department, make them resign, and then give them a new position.

Thoughts are one thing, plans are another, but today's start and the counterattacks by the ordinary racehorses compared to the popular ones were still a bit too shocking in Chiaki's eyes.

All I can say is that the unknown still easily triggers people's fear.

"Well, even small people have their ways of surviving. Would you have had this kind of rare competition experience and confidence-building opportunity before?"

"Yes, but so few that you can count them on your fingers. They are those exceptionally talented but severely unbalanced racehorse girls."

Or it could be a desperate escape at the start, running all the way to the final victory.

Or, once in the lead, they control the pace and prevent any female racehorses from overtaking them, forcing them to take the outer lane to balance the gap in strength between the two sides.

There are also those who specialize in being exceptionally skilled on specific tracks, only participating in a few races and winning every year, becoming like the gatekeepers of that race.

In short, even if you are not a true strongman or genius, in the past...

"So, this is a warning that the aura technique brings to the female riders: the strong must be cautious when dealing with the weak, and the weak must also have confidence in themselves."

"Of course, it looks dangerous now, but those who already have the advantage will definitely find another way to get out of this predicament."

For example, there's that unscrupulous horse girl right now.

Mejiro Aldan?

"Heh, tell me, isn't the Mejiro family a weirdo...? I thought they'd be the ones most opposed to all our decisions, but look at what kind of things these racehorse girls have produced?"

He almost beat Tamamo Cross-Eyes White Dylan.

Now, the small bay that caused the Imperial Palace to suffer a setback directly sent the Mejiro Aldan.

Even Megumi McQueen, who hadn't even debuted yet, was quite surprising to Golden Victory.

"If we're talking about being truly eccentric, I don't think anyone can compare to your family. But after all, you're the first generation. According to your logic, the Mejiro family is indeed a bit too radical."

Even the Chiaki family, who represent the reform and hold the main power in the Uma Musume Association, wouldn't dare to take such a gamble. Rather, it's more accurate to say that they might have such a view, but if it were to be implemented, they certainly wouldn't do it for at least five or ten years, and they would also have to go through an unknown period of trial and adaptation.

As a result, thanks to the relentless push of the pure white horse girl, Golden Victory, in less than five years, they have already begun to apply momentum techniques to top-level competitions, and have even started to think about how to formulate subsequent rules.

At this point in the conversation, both sides had completely focused their attention on the match, and as if by unspoken agreement, neither of them mentioned how to improve their match defense.

The competition has now reached its final stage!

Hoo hoo...

Keep running, even though the racehorse girls behind used their momentum and skills to drag Super Little Bay and Yae Invincible, two of the most popular racehorse girls, back from the lead to their muddy slump,

As for concerns about the Super Small Bay's potential counterattack from the Eightfold Invincible?

That much is true to some extent.

So the acceleration just now wasn't because I was worried about being affected by the racehorses behind me, but because I wanted to run a little faster and a little ahead of the soccer player who hadn't even started sprinting.

To avoid being dragged down by some super-small bay or some kind of invincible eight-fold...

Moving up to fourth place, the soccer player behind her didn't seem to be changing her running style. However, judging from her eyes, she was clearly in the zone and ready to find the best opening at any time.

A skilled player will often find the best position before the end of the match and then launch a surprise attack at a time that no opponent can predict.

Because at this point, it seems to be the only option...

That's a terrible situation.

But this is also very good for me.

I could keenly sense that the atmosphere around me was extremely tense, as if I were in a dark forest, where any movement by anyone would trigger a chain reaction among everyone.

But in this state, unlike previous competitions where it was about who could rush faster and more fiercely, or who was more reckless and fearless, it was different.

The showmanship and techniques calmed the group of celebrity horse girls down considerably.

Most of the racehorse girls who have just entered their domain state rely on explosive behaviors such as sprinting or even straight-line sprinting to break through their limits. In other words, if you can block their sprinting actions, you must leave a safe distance in order to enter the domain state.

This was almost a non-issue in the past. Apart from a very few unlucky racehorse girls who had to face a pure white horse girl who pioneered this new era, they basically only needed to consider the physical burden after using the domain.
