Zhuo Fu recognized the object; it was the piggy bank that Grandma Hyde had always used to store her spare change.

"Zhuofu, you want to go to Japan, right?"

Grandma Hyde laughed heartily as she placed the piggy bank on the table, pulled a hammer from behind her back, and slammed it down!

Countless coins and small-denomination banknotes spilled out as the ceramic pig shattered, spreading out on the table in enormous amounts.

"Take this money with you."

Grandma Hyde handed the money to her beloved granddaughter without hesitation.

"..." Zhuo Fu looked at the old lady in silence for a moment, then revealed a bright smile: "Forget it, I can't use this money. Grandma Hyde, you should take it and get yourself some dentures. Dental care is quite expensive these days."

"Hey, is this really okay?" Cai Zhigao tugged at Zhuo Fu's sleeve. "This way, we won't be able to go to Neon Central Academy."

"Indeed, I really wanted to see the Japanese racers, the Golden Eagle and the Special Week. One of them narrowly lost to Lady Nobunaga, and the other even defeated her on her home turf. When I saw those two races, I thought... Japanese racers are really strong."

"I want to race against both of them, and if possible, I'd also like to compete against other female racehorses. That's definitely true."

Zhuo Fu shrugged, her expression relaxed:

"But let's talk about it next time. I'm still very young. I haven't even participated in my debut battle yet."

"Cai Zhi Gao, remember to bring me back some good food when you go. I've heard that Japan has a lot of unique delicacies."

----------

Inside the training ground at the French Central School.

Bathed in the afternoon winter sun, the snow on this training ground had long since been cleared away.

At this moment, Zhuo Fu was accompanying several exchange students as they did warm-up exercises. They were all smiles, chatting easily with each other, and the air was filled with vitality and enthusiasm.

"Zhuofu, you need to warm up your knees properly," a red-haired racehorse girl corrected Zhuofu's movements. "Your body is so flexible, you're prone to leg or knee problems."

This petite personal assistant, Zhuo Fu, is not a formal member of their team, but the six racehorse girls all like this little girl very much, so they usually try to have her train with them so that she can use many of the training facilities for free.

And everyone actively helps to study Zoe's running and physique. Several racehorse girls privately said that it was like caring for their own younger sister.

"Okay~ Thank you, Gekkeikan-senpai." Zhuo Fu smiled and thanked the person who reminded her, then moved her legs and feet more diligently.

"By the way, have you seen the video sent from Japan? It seems that Lord Wangzu has already uploaded the video to everyone's computers."

Another blue-haired, muscular racehorse girl stretched her waist and casually asked the others.

"It's already been sent?"

The blonde, intelligent girl loved joining in the fun. She quickly stopped what she was doing, ran to the sidelines, and took out her laptop from her bag: "Shall we start training later?"

"Everyone, come and see! Let's see what's so exciting about this training match between the seven exchange students from Japan!"

Chapter 59 The Great Competitive Eater is Just Around the Corner (

Run! ...

The deafening shouts in the video immersed all the female horse racers in the atmosphere of the race.

Zhuo Fu was completely absorbed, her eyes fixed on the figure running at the front.

The horse girl, her body lowered, trampled all her pursuers with her footsteps.

That unwavering gaze, that beast-like posture—

“It’s not just about speed,” Zhuo Fu murmured.

In her eyes, the racehorse was like a whirlwind that swept everything away, and her last hooves were like thunder that could shatter the earth.

She was unlike any of the contestants Zhuo Fu had ever met.

"This explosive running style... I didn't know there were racehorse girls like this?!"

Zhuo Fu watched the runners on the screen, and at the last moment, she suddenly burst out, almost leaving an afterimage in the video, completely leaving her opponents behind, and sprinting straight into the finish line.

Her eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

At this moment, Zhuo Fu had only one thought in her mind:

"I really want to...I really want to race against this racehorse girl!!!"

------------

"Grandma Hyde!"

Zhuo Fu returned home and immediately found her only relative.

Looking at her grandmother, whose hair was already gray, Zhuo Fu's eyes filled with longing. She resolutely bent down, bowed deeply, and said to her:

"I'm sorry, Grandma Hyde! I know I just said those things, and it's really wrong of me to go back on my word now."

"But I still want to ask you... um, um—!"

Zhuo Fu hesitated, wanting to express her wish, but fearing her grandmother's scolding, she couldn't bring herself to say the next words.

But at that moment, she felt a warm hand gently placed on her head, and Grandma Hyde smiled and said:

"Little Zhuofu, just say what you want to say. I don't remember ever teaching you to hesitate like this when you do things."

“Yes—!” Zhuo Fu nodded vigorously, then raised her head, looked into the old man’s eyes, and continued:

“I told you before that it would be better to give that money to Grandma to buy her a set of dentures, but now… please give that money back to me!”

"I saw someone I absolutely wanted to see, someone I absolutely wanted to run around with, so I want to go to Japan!"

"..."

An awkward silence ensued. Zhuo Fu looked at Grandma Hyde, who remained silent, and shrank back somewhat fearfully.

"Um...Grandma Hyde?"

"Little Zhuofu, how do you think I'll respond to that?" Grandma Hyde sighed and helped her granddaughter up.

"Um, will Grandma scold me?" Zhuo Fu guessed in her reply.

Then, with a bang, she was punched on the head.

"Idiot!!!" Grandma Hyde angrily withdrew her fist. "What kind of grandmother would blame her granddaughter for something like this!"

"Little Zhuofu was looking at me like that, how could I not understand what you mean—take it!"

Grandma Hyde took the wad of banknotes out of her pocket again and stuffed it into Zhuo Fu's hand: "If you want to run away, I will fully support you. Isn't that what we agreed on a long time ago, Zhuo Fu!"

"..."

Zhuo Fu gripped the coins in her hand tightly. Some of them had worn edges, some were torn, and some even had oil stains on them. It was obvious that they were the coins that Grandma Hyde had saved up little by little over the years.

"kindness!"

In the end, she said nothing, but looked at her supportive family members and nodded firmly, forcing back her tears.

“Look, do you see that?” Hikari Toyama pointed to the petite figure on the screen. “That’s the cameraman you wanted to see.”

In the video, the figure appears to be invited by a competitor to run on the track to train her. She hurriedly puts down her handheld camera and runs towards the track, forgetting to even turn it off.

Stardust Illusion, sitting next to Toyama Scarlet, watched the scene, its chopsticks having stopped moving at some point.

The orange-haired girl in the picture is already running on the training track. Her figure is light, and she only touches the grass with the balls of her feet.

Even though the car was already approaching its maximum speed, the three people sitting around the tablet could barely hear any footsteps.

It was as if her feet didn't touch the ground at all, and she was flying right across the middle of the runway.

“It’s not just about speed,” Stardust Illusion murmured, looking at the screen.

In her eyes, this racehorse seemed to defy the control of Earth's gravity, as if it were racing through space.

She was unlike any other contestant she had ever seen.

"This graceful running style... I didn't know there were racehorse girls like this?!"

At this moment, the stardust illusion's blood-red eyes shone brightly:

"I really want to... really want to race against this racehorse girl!"

"Isn't that amazing?"

As the girl in the video sprinted forward, the video ended. Hikari Toyama reached for the tablet and looked at the racehorse she was portraying, asking:

"Although we haven't seen any footage of the prominent family yet, Zhuo Fu is very likely to participate in this exchange program. Are you prepared?"

"No! So let's go back to training now!"

"Stardust Illusion shouted excitedly!"

The video had completely ignited her passion, and she wished she could spend every second of it training.

I want to become stronger!

Stardust Illusion never imagined that one day it would be so eager to improve itself.

There's only one week left until we meet the European exchange student team, but—even just one more attribute point can make us stronger!

"What are you saying all of a sudden? You're so nonsensical." Toyama Scarlet gave Stardust Illusion a helpless chop, then pushed the huge pile of food sets on the table in front of her. "Hurry up and finish eating."

"Can I go to training after I finish eating? I'll eat now!"

Divine Eagle stared blankly at the interaction between the two. As soon as Stardust Illusion spoke, she picked up the plate on the table and began to shovel food into her mouth. Each set meal was enough for her to eat for a whole meal. In this way, plate after plate was gradually swept into Stardust Illusion's mouth right in front of Divine Eagle.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and exclaimed, "No wonder she's... the second generation of Oguri Hat, even her eating habits are so similar to hers."

"Because I'm eating with Oguri Hat, if I don't eat quickly like this, she'll eat it all!"

Stardust Illusion quickly ate all the food he had brought, then wiped his mouth and explained.

"But you ate a lot too. I'm full after just one serving."

“Watching Oguri Hat eat like that, it’s hard for anyone not to have a big appetite, right?” Stardust Illusion said.

Shenying immediately recalled the scene from a few years ago when the cafeteria was still a buffet, and saw Oguri Hat completely letting loose in the cafeteria. He couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Alright, now that everyone's finished eating, let's begin the afternoon training!" Toyama Hiren slapped the Stardust Illusion on the back, then stood up and continued:

"Anyway, as for the training matches that might follow... I'll figure out the tactics for dealing with the Noble Clan and Zhuo Fu. You two go for parallel running training this afternoon!"
