The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

The face of Saint King Halo is definitely one of the most exquisite horse girls Kitano has ever seen. He has trained so many horse girls in so many rounds that perhaps a small half of the horse girls in the entire Tresen Academy have been trained by him or have a close relationship with him.

But even so, Saint King Halo is definitely one of the top three horse girls Kitano has ever seen, just based on the excellence and exquisiteness of her appearance. Her face is as exquisite as a piece of jade, but the expression she shows at this moment is a little not so good.

She seemed... a little annoyed? She seemed to be glaring at him?

However, when Kitano noticed the expression of Saint King Halo, he reacted subconsciously.

I...could it be that I spoke a little too loudly just now and was heard by the Holy King's Halo?

Chapter 008: The Overlord at the End of the Century, Good Opera

The Holy King's halo was clearly an angry expression no matter how you looked at it. When Kitano caught it, he was still blaming Sang Huai a second ago, but he didn't expect that Sang Huai would suddenly get angry, even though he originally meant to blame himself...

"Miss Qi Cao, let's go visit the senior department. I think I have a pretty good understanding of the middle school department."

"Okay." Qicao also noticed, of course. Their conversation was probably heard by the Holy King Halo, which made the arrogant young lady angry. Seeing Kitano's embarrassed look, Qicao thought about it carefully and did not intend to make excuses for Kitano.

It would be better to let that young lady come to them on her own initiative... Although Qicao felt that the Holy King's aura and Kitano did not seem to be compatible, she always felt that this arrogant young lady might unexpectedly be able to give their new and discouraged trainer some motivation?

Even becoming Kitano's first horse girl wouldn't be a problem. Qi Cao thought this way and felt that his plan was feasible. After all, she was still very optimistic about the Holy King's Aura. He had both talent and hard work, but he really needed to adjust the direction of his efforts. Perhaps he and Trainer Kitano could complement each other well.

Thinking of this, Qi Cao didn't plan to interfere in the affairs of Kitano and the Holy King Halo. Instead, she was very curious whether these two people who were completely opposite could finally achieve true complementarity.

At least now it seems that Trainer Kitano's first candidate for the role of Uma Musume has been decided.

"We're going upstairs in the Advanced Department. Trainer Kitano, this way please."

Qi Cao also led Kitano to the advanced level floor. After the two of them left for a while, the blue-haired horse girl who had been sleeping on the table next to Sheng Wang Guanghuan suddenly turned her head and said to Sheng Wang Guanghuan, "Sheng Wang classmate, don't be too angry. Besides, Xing-chan, I think what the trainer said is right. I also think that if Sheng Wang classmate can practice the areas you are good at, you will definitely be better than everyone else."

"How can you be considered a first-rate horse girl if you're only good at what you do?"

Upon hearing this, Saint King Halo looked very disdainful. After shaking his hair, he continued, "A truly first-rate athlete should have a comprehensive grasp of short distances, miles, middle distances, and long distances. That's what it means to be truly first-rate."

"That frustrated guy doesn't know anything at all. Just wait and see, I will make him understand what true first-class means."

"Ah... Sheng Wang-san is so handsome."

"Qingyun Tiankong, please stand up and answer this question." At this moment, the teacher on the podium seemed to be unable to bear the two girls' laziness and issued her first warning.

As for why she was called Qingyun Tiankong... who made her sleep in class every day? The teacher saw Saint King Halo's hard work and eagerness to learn, so if they both had problems at the same time, the teacher would naturally assume that Qingyun Tiankong had taken Saint King Halo away.

However, Saint King Halo watched his friend get up wailing, then hesitantly and constantly gestured for Saint King Halo to tell her the correct answer - but now Saint King Halo had no intention of helping his friend.

That guy... why does he look familiar? Saint King Halo didn't know why she had this feeling, but when she heard the words of the man named Kitano and looked over, she almost subconsciously frowned.

For some reason, when Saint King Halo saw Kitano for the first time, she felt inexplicably angry, and after being angry, she felt a wave of sadness, which almost made her unable to hold back her tears - fortunately, she held it back, if she cried on the spot, it would be too embarrassing.

But now, Saint King Aura, who was angered by Kitano's words, didn't feel like crying at all. Instead, Kitano's words aroused a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat. He said viciously in his heart: "Just wait and see, when the time comes, I will let you see what it means to be a first-class horse girl recognized by everyone."

"I'm not just a horse girl who's good at one thing. I'll prove it to them, I definitely will."

I definitely will. Saint King Halo muttered this to herself, but she didn't realize where the sudden surge of her unwillingness to admit defeat and the anger of being looked down upon came from. Because Saint King Halo hadn't debuted yet, but her talent and bloodline had made her highly sought after and anticipated by the horse racing girls of Tresen Academy before she even debuted.

Contempt and ridicule have never appeared in Saint King Halo's life today, but why does Saint King Halo get so angry when he thinks of these?

I'm afraid that even if Saint King Halo realized it, he would not be able to figure it out, but at this time, Saint King Halo had already set his goal on a game.

—The Japan Derby. This classic annual race is a favorite among horse girls throughout Japan. Holy King Halo is determined to use the Japan Derby as his goal to prove his superiority and versatility, impressing everyone.

And... I also want to prove to my mother that her ideas are wrong, and that she is already a horse racing girl who can stand on her own.

……

"So, Trainer Kitano, if Holy King Halo was your horse girl, what kind of events would you choose for her to compete in?"

"Well... I think the possibility is very low, but if I had to guess, it would be best to let Sheng Wang develop more in the direction of short distances and miles."

In response to Qi Cao's question, Kitano recalled his interactions with Holy King Halo in the previous round. However, to be honest, he no longer wanted to take over Holy King Halo. It was not that Kitano disliked Holy King Halo, but he felt that he could not persuade Holy King Halo.

In the previous round, when Kitano Ryuichi became the trainer of Saint King Halo, he tried his best to tell Saint King Halo that her areas of expertise were short distances and mile races. However, Saint King Halo at that time did not pay any attention to Kitano's warnings. Instead, she turned a deaf ear to Kitano's advice and was determined to run the Classic Triple Crown.

Although the Classic Triple Crown is indeed the event that every horse girl in a classic year wants to pursue, Saint King Aura's talent in the middle distance is really not as good as the mile and short distance. But perhaps it was because the experience at the beginning was too smooth. The record of three wins in four games made Saint King Aura have a high opinion of herself. She felt that Kitano's worries were excessive, or even cowardly. The more Kitano opposed, the more she resisted Kitano's suggestions.

Then, Kitano had no choice but to do his best to help Shengwang run the Classic Triple Crown. What happened afterwards... was simply history repeating itself.

Gao Yueshang watched Qing Yun Tian Kong win the championship, and the Japanese Derby was defeated and returned with the 14th place. Even Kikukashang, who tried hard to stop Kitano, was unable to dodge and still watched Qing Yun Tian Kong win the championship.

This experience made Kitano Ryuichi give up the idea of ​​continuing to teach Saint King Halo, because he knew that he could not persuade Saint King Halo. Since he could not persuade her, he should not harm her. It would be better to find a trainer for the current Saint King Halo who would listen to her words, or help wake her up himself.

Kitano no longer wanted to watch the pride of this proud young lady being shattered bit by bit... He experienced that feeling of helplessness and really didn't want to see it again.

"Miss Qi Cao, if you have the chance, please tell Saint King Halo about my opinion."

Kitano, also holding the idea of ​​giving it his all, said to the air tank, "I'm not saying that Saint King Halo has no chance of winning at other distances. I also know she definitely won't be willing to give up the opportunity of the Classic Triple Crown. But, if possible, she should run fewer long and middle distance events if she wants to win."

"Also, if possible, Ms. Chi Cao, could you please choose a trainer for the Holy King that she likes and can listen to her advice? I think this would be helpful to her."

"I'll pass it on." Qicao was silent for a while after hearing this. Finally, he looked at Kitano with a subtle look and slowly agreed.

This man...isn't he really a genius? He can see Saint King Halo's areas of expertise at a glance, and even knows her temper like the back of his hand? They only just saw Saint King Halo from a distance.

However, Qicao is not sure about this now. What Kitano doesn't know now is that he originally wanted Qicao to help a little and try to see if he could change the experience of Holy King Halo, but he didn't expect that it was his words that made Qicao more determined to give Holy King Halo to him for teaching.

When I return to the Student Union, I will ask the president for a copy of Saint King Halo's training records. To see if Saint King Halo is just as Trainer Kitano said, that he is better at mile races and short distances, we can just compare the training records of Saint King Halo.

If this is really the case... Thinking of this, Qicao couldn't help but glance at Kitano beside him and silently made his own decision.

"As for the advanced division, there are very few horse girls who don't have trainers right now, and most of them have already participated in many competitions and are even about to graduate. If we want to find a suitable horse girl from the advanced division, I think it will be difficult."

Just when Qicao had composed himself and was about to introduce the senior department to Kitano, the ringing of the bell for the end of class interrupted their conversation. Soon, the originally silent corridor suddenly became noisy because of the racing girls slowly walking out.

"Looks like now isn't a good time to visit the senior department."

Seeing the noisy hallway after class, Qi Cao helplessly said to Kitano beside him, "Trainer Kitano, let's go visit the entertainment area first. It's lunchtime now, and it's too inefficient to find a suitable horse girl at this time."

"Then let's go to the entertainment area first." Kitano also had no objections. As the two of them were about to go downstairs to the entertainment area, they suddenly heard a familiar laugh from behind them: "Hahaha! This Overlord seems to have witnessed an unexpected scene! The majestic empress is standing with a handsome young man, strolling on the campus while everyone is distracted by the class in front of them? What a romantic scene! It's enough for me to write a new script!"

"I think it's better for you to speak after you understand the situation. Good opera."

When Qicao heard the laughter, he felt a headache and slowly turned around to look at the horse racing girl with shining golden hair, who stood with an extremely elegant and confident posture.

Only Kitano Ryuichi froze all over when he heard this familiar laughter, and even seemed to forget to turn around.

Chapter 009: Who is the most sorry person for the fleeing Kitano?

"Good opera, you don't have to be so conspicuous. This is a teaching building, not a theater for you to perform. If you want to perform, there is a public theater available for you to use at any time."

"Hahaha! As expected of an empress, you possess a majesty that's not inferior to this overlord!" The orange-haired Uma Girl, known as "Good Opera," did not soften her voice at all because of Qi Cao's words. Her voice was as high-pitched as an opera performer, and her movements were as exaggerated as those of a famous drama actor, as if she was the only protagonist on the scene, and everyone else pales in comparison to her.

In fact, as a horse girl, Good Opera's appearance is not outstanding among the group of horse girls who are generally very pretty. However, her outstanding temperament, her passionate voice, her personality that seems to be able to sing and laugh at any time, and even the accessories she carefully selects for herself, all make her exude confidence at all times.

It was as if she was always the protagonist, and in fact, good opera was indeed highly praised in Tresen Academy. Many horse racing girls in the same school were fascinated by her confidence and pride, just like the title she had always mentioned from the beginning, "Overlord".

Of course, this nickname will become "The Overlord of the End of the Century" in the future, but now it is obvious that Good Opera has not yet reached the level where it can casually boast of such an achievement. However, it is undeniable that the strength of Good Opera is indeed quite strong.

In particular, as far as Qi Cao knows, Good Opera has not yet found a trainer who gets along well with it.

Maybe it’s because the character of good opera is too socially phobic - ah, social terrorist, or social phobic for short.

She would suddenly sing and laugh loudly in public for no reason. Sometimes there was a record of her laughing at the sky for half an hour on the roof of the teaching building. She would not mind standing in the most conspicuous position to give a speech, and would even preach to anyone who did not know her or had not heard of her.

In her words, "No one is allowed to fail to appreciate the heroic spirit of Overlord, otherwise that person's life will be too sad."

That's right, she's so confident, even to the point of being a bit narcissistic. This is why Kiku and some of the other Uma Musume can't stand Good Opera's personality. Most trainers, even if they have outgoing personalities, generally can't reach Good Opera's level of outgoingness; they still have a certain sense of shame.

Therefore, Good Opera has not found a trainer yet, and Qi Cao does not intend to recommend Good Opera to Kitano.

Just kidding, a trainer like Kitano Ryuichi who has a bit of an inferiority complex and is a bit discouraged, although he lacks confidence, his lack of confidence is not a reason to hand over Good Opera, a heavyweight player with a serious overconfidence, to him.

If it were put together with a good opera...who knows...one day Trainer Kitano might be tortured to the point of going crazy because of embarrassment.

"Good Opera... I'm helping the new trainer get familiar with the Tresen Academy. Can you please move aside first?" Qi Cao was too tired to complain, so he had to try his best to let Good Opera leave before she attracted other outsiders.

"Hahaha, it turns out to be a new trainer! Ah, every excellent trainer is like the rising sun, and with the arrival of a new rising sun, more sunflowers will surely bloom in the direction of the rising sun. How beautiful—"

Good Opera, with an intoxicated look on his face, stepped closer to the gas tank and Kitano. At this moment, Kitano still showed no sign of turning to look at Good Opera. Good Opera was a little curious, but still said calmly, "Ah, new sun, why do you hide from my light as the Overlord? Although the Overlord's light is incomparably dazzling, as the sun, you should shine with me to every corner of this world."

"Sa, don't be shy, just show your passion!"

As he said this, Good Opera was now quite close to Kitano. For some reason, the closer he got to Kitano, the more Good Opera felt the urge to turn his head and see his face.

But the good opera hid this idea very well. She did a lot of verbal preparation in the beginning, and even her movements were cautious, just wanting the young man to turn around according to her force.

Finally, Good Opera's palm touched Kitano's shoulder, but the next moment, the touch of that broad shoulder slipped away from Good Opera's hand.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not very convenient right now."

"Ms. Chicao, thank you for staying with me until now, but I still want to visit the academy by myself. I'm very sorry."

"Wait, Trainer Kitano?"

Qi Cao also wanted to stop Kitano, but found that Kitano ran down the stairs without even looking back. Although it would be easy for Qi Cao and Good Opera Uma Musume to catch up with Kitano with their speed, neither of them did so.

Qi Cao helplessly turned his head to look at Good Opera, whose arm was still suspended in mid-air. With a subtle expression, he said to Good Opera unhappily, "Now you're being disliked, aren't you? Good Opera."

"Hahaha! I don't think that's the case, Empress!"

Although Good Opera was a little embarrassed at the beginning, the next moment she was seen with her hands on her hips, laughing as if she was still extremely confident. However, it was unknown how much true confidence she had.

However, Good Opera's words also made Qi Cao think. Although Kitano seemed a little shy and didn't want to contact others, he had never shown any emotion of dislike for anyone so far. He even respected Ludo who scolded him.

A person with this kind of personality shouldn't just run away just because he can't stand it, even if the performance of the good opera is a little too arrogant... Trainer Kitano is not such a rude person.

"It seems our new trainer has quite a few secrets."

An expression of interest appeared on Qicao's face. She had begun to be curious about Kitano Ryuichi's identity. The arrival of a new trainer caused so many familiar people in Qicao to show different reactions, even herself.

Qicao wanted to know how many horse girls felt the same familiarity with Kitano Ryuichi as they did, or whether all the horse girls in Tresen Academy had the same feeling about Kitano Ryuichi.

What Qicao didn't notice at this moment was that when she looked at Kitano's departing back with a smile on her face, the eyes of Good Opera next to her suddenly blurred.

It was only for a moment, but the expression on Good Opera's face at that moment was one she, who was always known for her friendly personality, had never shown before.

It was a negative expression, a combination of surprise, vigilance, jealousy, and other emotions. Of course, it only lasted for a moment. Even the good opera itself didn't notice it.

……

Kitano ran away, and he really ran away in a panic because he didn't want to be caught up by Good Opera. Although he knew very well that if Good Opera really wanted to catch up with him, it would only take a few seconds, and human physical fitness was no match for Uma Musume.

What made Kitano Ryuichi feel fortunate was that Good Opera and Qi Cao did not chase him. Finally, when they ran all the way to the school gate, Kitano finally stopped and took a breath.

"Ha ha……"

"I'm sorry, good opera, I'm sorry..."

"But I really can't see you like this, I really can't..."

Kitano walked breathlessly to a fountain. Above the fountain stood the statues of three goddesses, the real gods of the Uma Musume world. According to legend, they were the three goddesses who created all the horse girls. Rumor had it that these statues possessed real divine powers, which brought many horse girls great benefits.

However, at this moment, the only help that the spring water of the three goddesses brought to Kitano was to allow him to wash his sweaty cheeks so that he would not look as embarrassed as a deserter.

After washing his face vigorously in the spring, Kitano seemed to calm down a little. Looking at the reflection of his face in the water, Kitano smiled bitterly.

"I'm such a jerk... I don't dare see Rudolf, let alone a good opera... I'm such a failure as a minister."

Yes, a subject. Although Kitano Ryuichi has a sense of inferiority ingrained in his bones, he rarely says that he is the "subject" of his Uma Musume, because this means that he is completely dominated by the other party, and he is of almost no help to the other party. Instead, it is the other party who helps him a lot.

So far, Kitano Ryuichi has only treated two horse girls in this capacity.

The first one is his first encounter, symbolized by the "Emperor" Rudolf. This emperor taught all her skills to Kitano, and this influence has continued to this day. Kitano's few teaching abilities still have the shadow of Rudolf.

The second one is Good Opera. This "King", like Rudolph, helps Kitano with all his heart. In fact, she is the only truly all-round horse girl who Kitano can't help at all from beginning to end.

But the difference is that Kitano may have the courage to meet Rudolph, but when it comes to a good opera, he can't even raise his head.

This is not because Good Opera treats Kitano badly. On the contrary, the help Good Opera provides to Kitano can be described as the care of a real mother. If there is a horse girl in this world that Kitano feels most comfortable getting along with, it is undoubtedly Good Opera.

But...it was precisely because of this that Kitano couldn't raise his head at all when it came to good opera, because he felt that he had let her down far more than he felt about Rudolph.

Chapter 010: Newly enrolled horse girl, Miura Bourbon

"That's why I don't like going to the teaching building... I've probably taught half of the horse girls at Tresen Academy, and they're either useless or just as good as never. How can we go meet them then?"

"It's a good thing this is already a new episode. They can't possibly recognize me, right? Otherwise, I'd probably get beaten up by all those horse racing girls."

Kitano Ryuichi, who washed his face at the fountain of the three goddesses, smiled bitterly and found a wooden chair to sit down. He looked extremely decadent. He now felt that he was probably the most embarrassing person in history to his predecessors in time travel.

But there's nothing we can do. He really doesn't have any great talent. His academic performance has always ranked among the bottom ten in the class since he was a child. He is extremely bad at studying. But his learning attitude is not a problem. He does his homework and attends evening self-study. He never skips classes and never talks back to the teacher. If it weren't for his poor academic performance, with his character, what's wrong with choosing him as a three-good student?

He simply has poor comprehension and low learning talent.

The same is true when he travels to the world of Uma Musume. He dares to say that if anyone is chosen to replace him, with the same abilities, they will undoubtedly be able to do better than him. They will also start from scratch. Maybe they will be a little embarrassed in the first few weeks, but after countless trials and errors, they will definitely do better than Kitano.
