Oguri Hat and the East Sea Emperor's every move during their run was revived from their memories and rapidly absorbed into the Stardust Illusion's actions.

Even though her current posture was still a bit awkward, Stardust Illusion could clearly feel that running like this not only saved energy but also allowed her to enjoy the wake created by the runner ahead breaking through the wind—

And more importantly, we're almost there!

Did they think that because I couldn't take the lead, I had no chance of fighting back?

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling the bangs on Stardust Illusion's forehead and revealing her eyes, which seemed to burn with fiery passion.

850m…800m…780m——

——777m!

Miracle runners of Holy Night, get started!

"Explosive attack!!!!!"

Sakura Jin-oh, gritting her teeth and shouting, was still running wildly. Today was her first time racing against other racehorse girls, and Jin-oh, who had no idea how to allocate her energy, was sprinting at full speed from the very beginning.

Although the Sakura family's strong physical abilities supported her in leading the race all the way here, it was still her limit!

Damn it, I'm almost out of energy—huh?!

A sudden chill ran down his spine from behind, causing Sakura Susumu to exhale the last breath he had been holding back.

Her movements suddenly went limp, and she cried out, "Oyster—!" before falling into the main group and drifting further and further away.

However, before Daitaku Sun Goddess could even rejoice at succeeding Jin-oh as the leading racehorse girl, she too felt that oppressive aura!

What is that?! How could such an aura appear in a training match?!

She wailed inwardly, as the gentle breeze that had been caressing her face suddenly turned into a fierce gale, preventing the racehorse girl from taking a step or swinging her arms.

However, at the eye of the storm, the footsteps were drawing ever closer…

boom!

boom!

boom!

With each thud on the lawn, Stardust Illusion, aided by the Holy Night Runner, channeled all its immense power into its legs.

At this moment, in her eyes, the once perfectly sealed human wall revealed a path due to Sakura Jin-oh's loss of speed.

Then, what she needs to do is very simple.

The wind pressure kept hitting Stardust Illusion's face as she ran, but Stardust Illusion thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the strong wind blowing on her face, which was the direct reason why she chose to take the lead.

And at that moment, she seemed to hear the commentator's impassioned voice again:

[The East Sea Emperor is starting to close the gap! The two racehorse girls are almost neck and neck!]

[Stardust Illusion! Stardust Illusion! Emperor of the East Sea! Stardust Illusion! Emperor of the East Sea! Emperor of the East Sea! Emperor of the East Sea—!!!]

Isn't it just about pursuing and releasing them first? That's something the Emperor of the East Sea can do—

"There's no reason why I can't do it!!!"

With her roar, Stardust Illusion was drenched in sweat, which evaporated into water vapor and refracted light in the air, vaguely forming a giant dragon that flashed by.

She could feel her heart pounding at its maximum speed, pumping blood and energy into her limbs with each beat.

Just then, an energy, seemingly from nowhere, emerged from a corner of his body and converged towards his heart—

Speed ​​up, speed up, and speed up again!!

Unnoticed by Stardust Illusion, in the system panel's inherent skills section, below the original line of text "Miracle Runner of Holy Night," a brand-new, colorful skill description was faintly visible...

[Unique Skill: Victory Spurs, Activate!]

The moment the words appeared completely, Stardust Illusion felt its body filled with power. Although it only flashed briefly before disappearing again, that was enough!

In that instant, all the racehorse girls in the race felt a sudden heaviness, as if something had pressed down on them. Then, countless invisible chains bound their hands and feet, preventing them from moving forward again...

That eerie feeling of unease was indeed just an illusion, and it vanished in the blink of an eye.

However, in the eyes of the spectators in the stands, Stardust Illusion's running style was exactly the same as that of Oguri Hat from a few days ago, at least seven or eight parts similar.

She suddenly leaned down, using the explosive power of her final stride to push her speed to the fastest in the entire arena.

At this moment, she had completely transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping across the entire race, utterly crushing everyone else, and forcefully rushing into the finish line!

"First move, Stardust Illusion!"

The trainer standing at the finish line raised his stopwatch and shouted.

Upon hearing this announcement, Stardust Illusion raised its head to steady itself.

The powerful inertia from full speed propelled her forward for several dozen meters even after she crossed the finish line before she finally came to a swaying stop.

A successful move!

She was panting heavily as she watched the trainers announce the scores of the other athletes, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

This was just an ordinary training match, with hardly any spectators, but she still had opponents competing against her on the track.

Although she was reluctant to participate before the competition, once she stepped onto the field, Stardust Illusion completely changed her appearance, and she did not slack off at all, even in training matches.

After losing her first debut battle to the East Sea Emperor, who won through sheer willpower and unleashed the ultimate Emperor Dance, she understood this principle: if you don't run, you won't lose, but if you run, you must win!

The training ground was now buzzing with excitement again, with each trainer running towards their assigned racehorse girl, and Rokuhei Ginjiro clapping as he walked over.

Behind him, Toyama Hiren, who looked surprised, also showed interest. Oguri Hat, on the other hand, returned to her indifferent attitude and continued to eat her fried noodles. As for Rudolf, Kaga, and Surugawa Tezuna, they had already gone to Sakura Susumu's side, who had made a complete mistake, and seemed to be planning to say something to her.

The two trainers approached Stardust Illusion, and Scarlet Toyama helped her up, as she was somewhat exhausted, and led her toward the rest area.

"Was that running technique you just now really what Grandpa Liuping said, something you figured out on the spot?" Toyama Hikari asked as they walked.

"Not really. I've been studying Oguri Hat's running style for a while now. This time, I just happened to land in the lead position, so I tried to use it."

Stardust Illusion offered a brief explanation, then took the energy drink that Grandpa Liuping handed him and gulped it down.

"I lost, Master."

Just as the three were walking back, Miura Buron, who came in second place in the training match, also came up and reported the results of the match to Toyama Hiren.

Her expression and tone remained unchanged, and Stardust Illusion couldn't even discern her true feelings from her ears and tail.

"I told you from the beginning that you would be running at the back, so it's okay."

Hikari Toyama reached out and stroked Miura Bourbon's head: "I organized this training match to familiarize you with some of the leading rhythms. Otherwise, if you can't take the lead, you'll be at a great disadvantage—have you learned anything?"

Miura Buron remained silent for a moment, seemingly recalling the strange sense of pressure she felt at the end of the match. After a long while, she slowly nodded.

"That's good. If you can learn something, it means the training matches were effective." Toyama Hikari chuckled.

Then the four of them returned to the rest area together, where the two racehorse girls sat down to relax their overly tired legs.

Toyama Scarlet glanced at the data on the tablet again, then looked up at Stardust Illusion and said, "According to the information the old man gave me, you should be the type who can handle high-intensity training, right?"

“You could say that.” Stardust Illusion still felt lingering fear when recalling the experience of being trained to the point of vomiting.

However, she does not intend to avoid training; in fact, only high-intensity basic training can allow her to continuously improve herself with the help of the system.

"Hey, little girl Toyama, do you remember what I told you?" Standing to the side, Rokuhei Ginjiro frowned and interrupted their conversation.

"Of course I remember. I won't ruin such a promising talent—but she still needs to be trained properly. Stardust Illusion's training data shows that she hasn't reached her limit yet, and I will arrange appropriate methods for her to continue improving."

At this point, Hikari Toyama suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at Stardust Illusion again, asking, "By the way, what are your goals as a racehorse girl? We trainers will work with you to develop appropriate training and racing plans to meet your goals as a racehorse girl."

Upon hearing this, Stardust Illusion revealed everything about his upcoming G3-level race, the Kyoto Mares Special, and his desire to win the Classic Triple Crown.

Looking at the Miura Bourbon beside her, who seemed not to have reached her limit, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but feel a little expectant. She knew that Bourbon was not originally the type of racehorse girl known for her endurance, but at this moment, the other party was obviously better at endurance than her, which meant that the trainer had provided a lot of help.

Perhaps she really does have some skills?

Stardust Illusion secretly began to look forward to it.

“There’s one more thing,” Higanbana spoke again, snapping Stardust Illusion out of its daze. “Why did you suddenly fall so far behind on the bend?”

“This—” Stardust Illusion didn’t know how to explain the predicament she had encountered, so she could only turn to Rokuhei Ginjiro, whom she was more familiar with, for help.

"Haha, this girl usually turns on the leading track, so she is not affected by others. Her cornering style is also very rough. This time, she encountered several leading racehorses at the same time. I'm afraid she couldn't even remember how to turn normally at that time."

Grandpa Liuping did not disappoint Stardust Illusion's expectations and began to explain.

“Is that so…” Hikari Toyama made another note on the tablet, then suddenly looked up:

"Then we need to consider practicing the curves more!"

Stardust Illusion, who was still massaging his ankle, shuddered inexplicably as he looked at the female trainer's aggressive gaze.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Alliance of Releasing Persons? Baka Alliance!

"Are you the 'second generation of Oguri Hat' that they've been talking about? That's amazing!"

A bright and cheerful voice rang in Stardust Illusion's ears. She turned her head and saw one of the leading four in the race: Da Tuo Sun God.

The sun goddess had a very bright smile. Although she was also soaked in her workout clothes, the trendy accessories she wore made it seem like she wasn't there to run at all.

The collection includes everything from bracelets and eyeshadow to fake nails, making one wonder if carrying so many Claymore mines would hurt oneself or hinder movement while running.

In short, mind your own business and just pray to the goddess once and for all.

"I am the Great Sun God, nice to meet you~"

The girl playfully stretched out her right hand and made a V-sign in front of her forehead, her gesture charming and cute, exuding the unique youthful spirit of a high school girl.

"Um, nice to meet you." Stardust Illusion could only politely reply to the overly friendly racehorse girl.

According to the information she knew about this world, the Great Sun God should be a senior who had been in the industry for two years. However, the girl in front of her did not act like a senior. Instead, she immediately hugged the Stardust Illusion's arm in a friendly manner and said with a slightly ingratiating smile:

"Want to join our frontrunners? We're all skilled racehorse girls who excel at leading, so you definitely won't be left out!"

"The Leader Front?"

Stardust Illusion was taken aback. Before she could even ask what this battlefront was, Toyama Scarlet had already stepped forward and pinched the head of the Great Sun God with her five fingers:
