I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

"Yeah, Xiao Te is also very impressive. He was able to follow so closely without even opening the domain."

Cao Shangfei, who is also a Rigil player, commented on the situation of the derby.

For some reason, Cao Shangfei paid more attention to Special Week, the runner-up of the Japanese Derby. She had an inexplicable emotion towards this somewhat silly classmate.

If possible, she would prefer to compete with Te Bie Zhou on the court.

Now that the Japanese derby is over, not only has Shenying's injury basically recovered, but Cao Shangfei's previous injury is also in the recovery state.

If her trainer Tojo Hana had not stopped her, she might have chosen to participate in the Japanese Derby.

As the first horse girl of her generation to open a territory, now seeing that one horse girl after another has also opened a territory, Kusanagi also feels a sense of urgency.

"Xiao Te, if her training volume could be as much as the Saint King's aura..."

Shenying said bluntly that although she was injured before, she was still paying attention to the training status of the horse girls of the same period.

Spica's team training can also be seen on the training ground in Tresen.

It’s just that those trainings, I don’t know if it’s better to say they’re just casual or unique, they’re somewhat different from the training methods of Rigil, Canopus, or the Holy King Halo.

Even some of the training was relatively normal, with Silent Suzuka and Special Week both having outstanding performances.

But due to the difference in training volume, it is a foregone conclusion that Te Zi Zhou will not be able to catch up with Nebula Sky and Saint King Halo.

Even though Zhou Te's talent is probably better than Xingyun Tiankong and the others.

That’s right, it’s talent.

Special Zhou's talent is unquestionable. Saint King Halo and Nebula Sky can be called "genius horse girls". They were able to open their fields and compete with each other in the Japanese Derby, but the fields were not complete at that time.

But as time goes by, their fields will surely be complete, dragging this generation into the competition between fields.

Not opening a special field in the week doesn’t mean that your talent is poor.

What she lacks is not just the huge amount of training required for "involution", but more importantly, the ability to catch up with the special week that has not yet reached a certain limit of her own.

A genius horse girl can reach her limit, and those who want to break through the limit can open up their territory by meeting certain unknown conditions.

At the beginning of the special week, in the final stage of the Japanese Derby, after breaking through the limit and being able to catch up with the field, there was still no sign of opening the field.

This also shows that Zhou Tebian’s limits are not limited to this, and her talent is higher than Xingyun Tiankong and the others.

This is the view of Shenying, and also the view of other seniors in Rigil.

Of course, this does not mean that Special Zhou will be invincible in the future. The competition still depends on many things. At least Shenying is confident that he can win Special Zhou, who will also be able to open up the field in the future!

"But come to think of it, I really want to finish visiting the Takarazuka Memorial before leaving."

The Condor stretched. He had not been able to train during his injury period, and he always felt as if something was missing in his life. His body seemed a little rusty, just like a gear that had not turned for a long time.

Next she will prepare to leave for France.

Cao Shangfei smiled slightly. This Takarazuka Kinen was indeed a gathering of stars. Even though she had fully recovered and had already signed up for the Takarazuka Kinen, and although she wanted to compete for the Takarazuka champion, to be fair, perhaps this Takarazuka Kinen was more about seeing what the gap was between herself who had just recovered and the current Barbatos, Saint King Halo and the others.

Trainer Tojo Hana was actually against participating in the Takarazuka Kinen.

It has never happened in the entire history of Japanese horse racing that a horse girl who had just recovered from an injury directly participated in the G series competition, and even in the decisive battle of the first half of the year.

Well, if you exclude Barbatos.

Now two more people have appeared in Rigil, Cao Shangfei and Shenying.

Cao Shangfei signed up for the Takarazuka Kinen, while Shenying chose to sign up for the French G1 event - Isfahan Race!

He said that he was preparing for the Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe to put some pressure on himself and to adapt to the differences between French and Japanese grass fields. If he had participated in the G3 in France first to get familiar with the grass, he might not have felt any tension and it would have been meaningless.

When Barbatos arrived at Central Tresen Academy, with only a dirt track in Kochi, it took him only one day to fully master the running method on the central grass track.

As an opponent, the Condor will naturally not leave too much room for himself!

If Barbatos can adapt to the grass in one day, then Condor is also confident that he can adapt to the grass in France in a short time!

"That……"

"Who do you think will be the champion at Takarazuka?"

Cao Shangfei looked at Shenying and asked.

If she asked a well-rounded and experienced person in society, the answer she would get would probably be "Of course it's you", but Cao Shangfei knew that Shenying would never answer like that.

Even Kusanagi Hiba himself knew that it would be difficult for him at the Takarazuka Kinen.

Whether it is the legendary horse girl Qi Tan from the same team, or Barbatos who is now capable of competing for the strongest horse girl in active service, neither of them can be challenged by her now.

"As for this question."

Without much hesitation, Condor said confidently, "I think the champion will be Barbatos."

"Then Senior Qi Cao..."

Even Kusagami Tobi, who knew each other best, felt oppressed by this answer. "Takarazuka, even Kizo-senpai will be participating. Kotori, do you think Kizo-senpai will lose?"

Kusanagi is not absolutely invincible just because she is a legendary horse girl. According to her talent, she had thought about competing with the legendary horse girls when she debuted.

But that was two years later, three years later.

It is undeniable that Barbatos is very strong now, but it has only been half a year since the defeat in the Dream Cup last winter. Does he really have a chance of winning against his senior Qi Cao again?

"I believe in Barbatos."

"I think she won't lose to anyone until I win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and come back to beat her."

Condor had more confidence in Barbatos than ever before.

Chapter 257: The Condor's Expedition

The main entrance of Tresen Academy.

Barbatos, Nebula Sky, Holy King Halo, Special Week, Ulala, and Cao Shangfei gathered together to see off the Condor as it prepared to depart for France.

This time, the Condor is going to France to participate in the competition and we won’t see him again for at least half a year.

Although we have only known each other for less than a year, as best classmates we still came to see each other off.

Wulala was the first to offer her blessing, "Xiaoying-chan, you will definitely win the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix!"

"It's time to show France the strange birds of Japan."

Saint King Halo put one hand on his waist, and didn't think that the French horse racing event, which made Japanese horse racing so terrified that it was very difficult to even get into the top five with a big reward, would be a problem for Condor.

"Keep going, Xiaoying-chan."

Especially Zhou Yan spoke concisely and clearly, which was quite different from her usual appearance.

Barbatos could clearly see that her eyes were still red, and she had obviously not fully recovered from the defeat in the Japan Derby.

Even when his mother came to the scene for the second time and he tried his best, he still couldn't win the Japanese derby. And if it is said that Satsuki Sho had no chance because of "off-field factors".

There is a chance for the Japanese Derby. If she can break through her limits earlier, she may be able to become the Derby’s horse girl and get one step closer to the title of “Japan’s No. 1”.

Barbatos offered no comfort in this.

Although she and Tokujou were good friends, failure was something every horse girl had to go through except Rudolph.

The school motto "One horse leads the way, and all other horses are humiliated" comes from this.

What's more, if the winner of the Japanese derby is Teji Zhou, Barbatos may feel that he will be very upset.

After all, that means that the girlfriend who is drinking with him will lose.

"Hey, don't worry. I'll come back after I win the Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Then I'll show you what it means to be the world's best horse racing girl!"

Faced with the encouragement from his friends, Shenying remains as confident as ever.

The Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in France is a race that Japan has always coveted. For example, they have never been in the first place, or even the top three.

In this regard, if you want to become stronger and meet more powerful horse girls, going to France is the best choice.

"The world's number one horse girl..."

Barbatos chewed on these eight words, a hint of cunning appeared on his face, and then he looked at Condor sincerely.

"I'll wait for you to come back after winning the Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe!"

Condor's gaze from behind his eye mask met Barbatos's, and it felt like the friendship between rivals.

"As long as I wait for you to come back and then defeat you, I will be the new world's number one horse girl, and I won't even have to leave the country."

Hearing this, the corner of Condor's mouth twitched.

As a friend, she knew that it was Barbatos who was talking trash, and she started talking trash before she even left for France.

Objectively speaking, in Japan, the horse girl who wins the Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is the best in the world, and the horse girl who does not win the world's best is the best in the world.

But this is not what the Condor cares about.

What Barbatos said just now actually meant that he believed she could win the Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, become the world's number one horse racing girl, and then return to Japan to compete.

The corners of her mouth curved upward, revealing confidence. "Then I will definitely let you see the strength of the world's number one!"

"Okay, I'm going to leave too."

Condor picked up the backpack and suitcase he was taking to France, waved to his friends, and turned to walk out of the school. Outside the Tresen Academy, an online taxi had been arranged and was waiting.

Barbatos and others also watched her get on the online taxi.

Just as he was closing the car door, Condor stopped, looked back towards the school gate and shouted.

"Takarazuka Kinen, I will definitely watch it!"

"Hey, Xiaoba, don't lose so badly!"

"climb!"

"You should not lose too badly!"

Barbatos couldn't help but retort directly.

The Eagle in the online car-hailing service said nothing more, closed the door, and the car-hailing service started heading towards Tokyo's Narita Airport. The Eagle also started a new journey.

"It will take a long time before I can see Xiaoying again." Ulala said a little uncomfortably.

Saint King Halo consoled him, "Don't worry, if it's the Condor, it will definitely be able to win the Arc de Triomphe and return."

"We also need to concentrate on preparing for our next game. We can't let that guy throw us off."

As she spoke, she looked towards the training ground. She knew she had to train harder from now on, although what Condor said before leaving was to Barbatos.

But Holy King Halo will also be the horse girl who will participate in the decisive battle in the first half of the year.

Even though she has won the Japanese Derby and become the Derby's horse girl, she is not very proud. She even feels that without sufficient preparation, Takarazuka Kinen may lose badly.

Everyone expressed their agreement with Saint King Halo's words.

Te Bie Zhou's eyes were still watching the online ride-hailing car going away, and he was still waving to the Eagle that was going on an expedition, until the online ride-hailing car disappeared from his sight.

At this moment, her stomach made a rumbling sound. Because of the derby defeat, she had not eaten anything in the past two days. Now, with the matter of Condor going to France, the emotion of losing the Japanese derby seemed to have dissipated a lot.

The rumbling sound of her stomach made her look at her friends a little embarrassedly.

I couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we all go get something to eat together?"

Because of the preparations for the derby some time ago, the five of them hadn't eaten together for a long time, and everyone ate in their respective teams.

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Saint King Halo laughed. It wasn't that she and Te Bie Zhou had a bad relationship and were unwilling to have a meal together, but the time to see Divine Eagle off had to be taken out of the training time.

I will skip lunch and use the time for lunch to train, which will just make up for the time difference.

With the start of the Takarazuka Festival, there is not much time left for her!

"Hey……"

Particularly Zhou stared blankly at Saint King's halo as it left, thinking that he had made Saint King unhappy in some way. After all, who could refuse an invitation to dinner?

Xingyun Tiankong glanced at the Holy King Halo that was leaving, and her eyes moved. As an opponent, she suddenly understood the whole story of the Holy King Halo.

I couldn't help but complain, "Do you have to train at this time?"

It was just that the difficulty of the Japanese derby emerged in his mind, and the instinct of involution was definitely unwilling to fall behind. "Sorry, Xiaote, we have some things to do here too. We will definitely do it next time."

Special Week: “…”

Chapter 258 Taketoyo and Suzuka

Tebi Zhou packed a lot of bread and other desserts from the cafeteria and returned to the door of the Spica team dormitory.
