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

"Ah, judging from Professor Golden Victory's expression, I can tell that she hasn't been paying attention to our research department's progress at all. But that's understandable. If I were hearing about this for the first time, I would probably think of it as a pointless experiment."

"Um, well, so you're saying there are results now, right?"

Ignoring Alice's words, Golden Victory was more concerned about the progress of his racing shoe development project.

"Well... we haven't reached the point of producing results yet. Right now, we just happen to have the opportunity to solve the problem of the small bay."

"Simply put, it is a technique that uses stored kinetic energy to apply a small electrical current to the racehorse during the race, thereby slowing down and removing the effects of momentum and technique in advance."

"Of course, the mechanism can be changed at any time if there is a need, and the influence of one's own aura and skills is usually easier to deal with than that of others."

Upon hearing this, Golden Victory remained silent for a moment.

"Hmm... You call this not yielding results? To put it bluntly, most of the things that race girls can do right now are still affecting other people's running ability. If these shoes can significantly reduce the impact, they'll basically be useless."

"But... isn't this against the rules? The idea of ​​shoes stimulating a horse girl with electric shocks just doesn't seem right."

"Good question, but the problem is that recently a certain pure white horse girl has started a bad trend of stimulating the body to run at speeds beyond its original level. Wouldn't that also be considered a foul?"

"Leaving aside the aura and techniques, the domain state itself can be considered a kind of stimulation of extreme behavior. The conclusion is that I do not think it should be classified as a foul."

After hearing Golden Victory's questioning, Kuronuma arrogantly stroked his chin and answered the other party. Perhaps because he saw Pure White Horse Girl's humiliated appearance earlier, he was now very happy.

"The reason why it's not considered a success yet is mainly due to the conversion power issue. If we were to directly place a battery that already stores energy, the risk would be too high. If something goes wrong, it could very well end the user's competitive career."

"So the current situation is due to security concerns? Is the small bay still usable?"

"Yes, it should be possible. As I just said, it mainly involves the difference between the influence of other people's aura and skills and the influence of one's own aura and skills, which in turn affects the intensity of the stimulus needed and the energy required for conversion."

"I understand. The reason why the product cannot be made yet is that there are still technical barriers. But it is enough for those racehorse girls who need to use a small amount of current to remove the influence of momentum techniques, right?"

"That's the idea. Moreover, there's a significant difference between the stimulation required after being forced to stop and the stimulation current needed to continue increasing speed in an accelerated state. Currently, this type of development concept can only be used to reduce the influence of aura techniques."

Having said that, Golden Victory nodded in understanding.

"So the second option is basically useless for Old Black, right?"

"Pretty much. At most, I can speed up the progress in terms of the numerical effects of electric current, since self-control itself is an operation that runs through bioelectricity."

After a brief discussion, Golden Victory confirmed that Kurozuma definitely intended to use this second option, which was why he made that statement. Meanwhile, everyone quickly made a decision, and New Glory already had the running shoe templates of the Golden Victory team members.

Soon, a pair of new-era racing shoes appeared in front of Super Bay.

"The method of use is very simple. After putting on the shoes, you accumulate kinetic energy by running continuously and convert it into electrical energy for storage. When the running speed changes significantly, the mechanism will be triggered to discharge the energy, so that the user can minimize the impact on himself."

"Actually... I originally wanted to consider using a chip to remember the user's racing habits and decisions, so that a small current could be triggered as a reminder if illogical racing behavior occurred. However, the technology development cost is too high, so I don't plan to carry out this operation at the moment."

"Tsk tsk, that sounds really terrifying. Not only would it affect movement and be largely resisted, but if this were to be done, even those manipulative aura techniques might suffer a major setback."

However, having said that, Golden Victory can clearly understand the necessity of technological development.

When the momentum technique was first developed, it could perhaps be regarded as a brand-new technical means. However, as time went by and people became more familiar with it, the momentum technique itself stagnated and did not make any substantial progress.

He shook his head. Anyway, Alice was helping with this, so he didn't need to worry about it.

"Let me ask you something a little selfish: is there a research threshold for this?"

"It exists. The effect of bioelectricity on the horse girl experiment is one of Professor Kuronuma's research results. In addition, we need to find out how to counteract the stimulation by combining it with the principle of momentum techniques."

As for resisting the influence of aura techniques through various methods, similar behaviors had already appeared before, even before the duel between Megumi McQueen and Miyu.

After all, Golden Victory, the pure white horse girl, had been dominating the racetrack for quite some time. At that time, besides the psychological trauma of almost becoming a famous horse girl and having to directly suppress her opponent through the race system, they naturally had a number of possible ways to deal with it.

However, no matter how you do it, it always takes extra time, effort, and energy, making it a helpless and inefficient strategy.

However, with the improvement of racing shoes and related professional modifications, this process will be greatly simplified, allowing racehorse girls to get rid of such effects as soon as possible...

In response, Golden Victory really wanted to say something like, "Times have changed."

On the race track, Oguri Hat, who was temporarily pulled over as an opponent, immediately noticed that something seemed a little different about Super Bay.

However, Lu Mao Ma Niang quickly forgot about all of this; to her, today was just a test competition as instructed by her senior.

"Oh right, Oguri-hat, don't use any momentum techniques during your match with Kobayashi today. I mean, the kind of momentum techniques that affect your opponent and create obstacles. You can use the others if you want, it doesn't matter."

"Hmm? Okay, Golden Victory senior."

The reason is unclear, but the outcome of a practice match has never been something that Oguri Hat would particularly care about. Besides... she doesn't think she would lose to Super Little Bay without using any momentum techniques.

"Then, get ready—"

Without using a gate, the test match began the moment the flare gun was fired by Golden Victory...

Golden Victory created these conditions for himself.

The running shoes he wore, along with the devices connected to his ankles, made Super Little Bay realize the strength of the Golden Family's research team.

How should I put it...?

After all, she wasn't from a prestigious racehorse family, so there was no basis for comparison. The only comparison she could make was with her initial state before she had all these things.

I'm so... so glad that I'm in this team!

With the right distance and speed, and seizing the moment when the opponent is about to turn, Super Little Bay's eyes sharpened instantly!

Momentum and technique! Activate!

Without holding back, without hesitation, and without any reservations, he struck his opponent!

The attack was so intense that even using momentum and techniques as a defense was difficult to resist, and it also put too much strain on the Super Small Bay, causing her legs to slow down slightly.

And at that very moment of sudden drop in speed, the electricity that had been accumulated in the running shoes was released instantly!

The legs immediately leaped forward from the installed position, and Super Little Bay, having already anticipated this, quickly followed suit!

you can!

It worked! ! !

The speed was a little slower, and the rhythm was a little off, but these were nothing compared to the helplessness of falling behind others when I was almost unable to move after using my momentum techniques.

She, in the tiny bay, felt her desire reborn!

Chapter 243 Each Person's Gains

The powerful, fierce, and somewhat familiar aura technique—this was something from Super Cove.

This is terrifying content that will inevitably be eliminated for Tamamo Cross, and it is also a very troublesome and powerful interference for others.

And this time it seems even more... terrifying than the aura and techniques we've seen before?

At first glance, Oguri even thought he was witnessing a demon formed by aura and technique.

The reduced speed when cornering was violently pulled to almost zero, and the impact on her legs prevented her from breaking free for a while.

At that very moment, Super Bay had already easily surpassed itself and continued to widen the gap.

Has the small bay made any progress?

...But didn't we have a practice match yesterday?

I couldn't understand why the opponent was still able to keep running forward, instead of experiencing a brief period of exhaustion after using their momentum techniques as usual, and then having no chance to catch up with the front row.

This kind of overly aggressive and fierce use of momentum and techniques, surpassing even his own abilities, is something Oguri Hat has never seen before.

After barely managing to cope with this terrifying momentum technique that was almost impossible to resist outside of a sprint, Ash-haired Horse Girl finally regained her composure and prepared to catch up with her opponent.

However, the timing of the Super Small Bay's choice of time was carefully calculated, precisely at the crucial moment when it was about to turn.

Accelerating in the corners will only be a waste of Oguri's energy, and by the time he finishes on the straight, the gap between the two players will be so large that it will be almost impossible to recover.

Unless... the domain state is involved.

After all, the other party had already left first.

For some reason, this horse girl with the goose feathers suddenly had a similar thought, and then her momentum and skills combined with a dash immediately brought her into the domain state!

Charge! Chase!

Then surpass your opponent!!!

The distorted visuals instantly transformed the practice track into the same top-tier racing track as when we entered the domain state!

However, this time only Oguri Hat attempted to enter this state!

That speed...

The tiny bay, which was overtaken and caught up by the opponent's exaggerated sprint in a short time, immediately had related thoughts in its mind.

Oguri Hat has entered her domain state, right?

Is this really necessary...?

Watching the sturgeon girl in front of her gradually move towards the finish line, she felt somewhat disappointed, even though her own shortcomings had been improved.

However, Oguri had no idea what the other person was thinking, and she couldn't even see the other person's figure on her current field.

What she needs to do is simple: sprint towards the key positions ahead.

And then... you win!

"Huff... huff..."

After finishing the run, Super Little Bay slowed down a bit to catch his breath and looked ahead at Little Chestnut Hat, who had achieved victory. Apart from a slightly flushed face, he still had a bit of a helpless feeling.

"Tsk tsk, what was there in this match that I didn't expect? Well, I really didn't expect this."

The Golden Victory team originally thought that this match would end with Super Small Bay breaking through his limits and winning.

However, Oguri Hat's unreasonable move of directly opening up the domain shattered the advantage that was not yet certain of victory. In a sense, this not only confused Super Little Bay, but also baffled Golden Victory.

Please, this isn't an official competition. Activating your domain state without a specific purpose during a practice match is inherently a disadvantageous move.

Even though Oguri Hat's only top-tier competition in her later schedule is the Chrysanthemum Sho, her actions were still somewhat reckless.

Before the pure white horse girl could even ask what this feathered thing was doing after the race ended, Oguri Hat took the initiative to speak up and share his thoughts:

"I'm sorry, Golden Victory senior, I want to change my mindset, so I can't let myself be defeated in this match."

“I’m not like an emperor. I don’t really think about what to do. If possible, I hope that senior Golden Victory can guide me on how to think, and then I will make what I consider to be a mature decision.”

Golden Victory: "...That's no problem. After all, this is your match, even if it's just a practice match. It's good that you have this idea, Oguri-hat."

Proactive ideas, proactive thinking, and also seeking guidance from the golden victor as a trainer.
