Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

She gazed at the accelerating stardust illusion ahead, her expression turning serious behind her round-framed glasses.

She had personally witnessed the Stardust Phantom, and the race where this runner decisively defeated the likes of Tree Express, Zhuo Fu, and Wangzu.

So when he saw her accelerating, Ikuno Didos knew that she was definitely preparing for a desperate escape.

But what should she do?

Should we maintain our own pace, or force ourselves to keep up with the mass exodus?

The image of the players who chose to wait during the two training matches flashed through the mind of this iron lady...

Without exception, none of the contestants who failed to keep up with the Stardust Illusion achieved satisfactory results in the end.

If you chase after them, you'll face immense physical pressure, but if you don't chase after them, you can't possibly hope for victory...

(This is Stardust Illusion's open scheme; the truly terrifying aspect of her escape.)

Now that he understood he had no other choice, Ikuno Didos lowered his head slightly and began to change the pace of his steps.

The next moment, the racehorse took a powerful stride, instantly overtaking several runners in front of her and chasing after them!

That's not the speed a middle runner should have in the opening stages at all—

(What is she trying to do?!)

The First Ruby was horrified as he watched the figure suddenly rush out in front of him.

Even the data provided by the researchers failed to analyze the possibility of such a scenario.

Why did Ikuno Didos, a rational middle runner, suddenly burst into acceleration at the start of the straight, trying to catch up with the leading group?

Has she given up on herself?

impossible.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Ruby could clearly see the firm and resolute look on Ikuno Didos's face as he passed by; it was not an expression of giving up.

What on earth is she thinking?!

Has she gone mad? This kind of reckless running, completely disregarding physical strength, doesn't even consider the issue of stamina at the end...

Even an ordinary runner who isn't as flashy as the elite shouldn't be this reckless!

Does Ikuno Didos believe that if he didn't force a change in his running style in such a place and accelerate to catch up with the leading group, even if he had plenty of energy left at the end, he would completely lose the chance of winning?

What should I do? The information doesn't analyze this situation at all.

Ikuno Didos abandoned himself and charged straight at the leading group... In this situation, what strategy should one choose!?

Subconsciously, First Ruby turned her head, wanting to seek the butler's opinion.

However, all she could see was the inner track fence being rapidly swept away and left behind.

By the way, we're running right now!

Ruby, who had suddenly slowed down due to losing her rhythm, realized that... it was impossible for anyone to give her new strategic guidance now.

"Since that's the case..."

First Ruby, this glamorous young lady took a deep breath:

"Let's have a competition—let's see who can last until the end!!!"

boom.

With his muscles surging with power, First Ruby had no time to consider whether his decision was right or wrong.

Her instincts told her that perhaps this wasn't the right thing to do... but she would never regret this choice!

Speed ​​up and catch up!

On the field, the nascent runner group completely collapsed at this moment.

The runner's stardust illusion gradually surpassed all the other runners and began to advance towards the empty track at the front...

Her escape once again shattered everyone's rhythm on this field!

Chapter 116 A Perfect Tactic with a 1000% Win Rate!

The event entered Climax mode right from the start, and the scenes that countless viewers had been waiting for were once again presented before their eyes.

That slender racehorse girl, already dubbed the second Oguri Hat Rookie... Stardust Illusion actually unleashed an incredible acceleration ability right after entering the track at the start of the race.

Almost before anyone could react, she surged ahead into the lead, instantly widening the gap between herself and the other runners.

Before anyone could even catch their breath, the entire arena was completely overwhelmed by the momentum of this great escape.

All the runners were forced to accelerate one after another, and the newly formed runner groups instantly collapsed.

Meanwhile, Ikuno Dedus and the First Ruby emerged from the chaotic racetrack one after the other, transforming into two phantoms as they chased after the fleeing Stardust Phantom!

[The Great Escape!!! Stardust Illusion did not disappoint anyone; from the very beginning, she was determined to use the Great Escape strategy in this G3-level high-reward race!!!]

The unexpected turn of events threw the players into chaos... wait, someone has already noticed—it's Ikuno Didos! And the number one Ruby!

These two players have readjusted their rhythm and started chasing! How will Stardust Illusion deal with this situation!?

"She actually chose to flee even in a high-stakes competition?"

The female housekeeper, a woman in a kimono, watched the race from the VIP room as the three runners began their competition on the track, and smiled.

"This is good...no, this is better!"

As she spoke, she looked at the head of the research institute standing beside her:

"The Great Escape is a strategy that involves risking everything to compete with others, but..."

"Based on the data that Miss Ruby possesses, there has never been a gambling option; the winning rate has been 1000% from the very beginning!"

The research leader tactfully followed up:

"The Great Escape is Stardust Illusion's most confident weapon. If this weapon is completely defeated by the young lady, then her fighting spirit will suffer a devastating blow."

“That’s right.” The woman in the kimono nodded, turning her gaze back to the racetrack. “How could such a low-level tactic of relying on probability to compete possibly defeat the scientifically-assisted Ruby Lady?”

"Just follow the original plan and completely crush the Stardust Illusion on the bend!"

The woman slammed her fist heavily on the wooden coffee table in front of her, as if she were punching another contestant in a competition.

------

(My family has helped me thoroughly study every move she makes; I have all the information I have about her.)

(Even if I unexpectedly use the escape technique here, it won't have any impact—as long as I can keep up with her, that opening will definitely come in handy...)

(Take care of the Stardust Illusion on the bend ahead first, then deal with the more vulnerable Ikuno Dedus!)

The First Ruby was panting heavily, her eyes fixed on the stardust illusion ahead.

At this moment, her condition was not too bad. Although she had been forced to accelerate due to the escape, the physical fitness she had gained in the past six months of training had given her greater strength and endurance.

Although the competition is now nearly halfway through, she is even more certain of her chances of winning.

I absolutely must win... The rise of the Magnificent Clan rests on my shoulders. I must win this match and then announce my return!

Snapped.

The girl's feet slammed into the ground, unleashing even greater power.

Sweat began to trickle down her face, but she was getting closer and closer to the stardust illusion—it was indeed starting to slow down.

It's impossible for the runner to maintain top speed the whole time, so choosing to abandon the center position and force his way behind her was definitely the right choice.

Now I'll crush you, Stardust Illusion... You blindly fled, and you fell into my trap!

[Disruption skill setup triggered.]

"A magnificent... performance!"

Yes, let's go!

The weakness of stardust illusions, which exists in all images...

Unable to master advanced techniques on curves, the only option is to cut across the outer edge of the road and then perform a second straight run.

But that also means that she not only needs to run an extra distance, but also gives the runners behind her the opportunity to take the innermost corner.

The First Ruby had rehearsed this scenario countless times. The moment the opponent gave up their position, he unleashed all his power and charged towards the First from the innermost path.

As the heir of a magnificent family, I must prove myself here.

Let us crush all our opponents and let the world witness it!

You're next, Ikuno Dedus!

--------

"Well……"

A sudden chill came from behind, and even the Stardust Illusion, immersed in running, couldn't help but shudder.

This feeling, both strange and familiar, was as the pitch-black mist slowly wrapped around his legs...

It's demonic.

She certainly wouldn't mistake that feeling.

But what does this level of performance even mean?

In the past few days, she has experienced countless times the overwhelming demonic power of the powerful clans that can crush people.

Even a hawk that's only doing it as a hobby can still bite off a chunk of flesh from her body when it unleashes its demonic power.

However, at this moment, she only felt a slight stinging pain in her muscles, like being bitten by a mosquito, which did not affect her rhythm at all.

The hurried footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and he could tell how much energy his opponent had expended to catch up with him.

At this moment, if she is willing to give up the lead slightly and force her opponent to the front, she can easily enjoy the tailwind brought by the opponent.

but--

(If you want to challenge me, then give it a try!)

At this moment, the Stardust Illusion's eyes were already ablaze with flames.
