Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 97: As if wanting to tear something apart

When Yasui Zhen was surprised by the appearance of Xingmu, he walked from the appearance circle to the starting point. Xingmu unconsciously looked towards the audience, trying to find the figure of this trainer.

In order to find her own direction, she paid attention to Northern Xuanju, and naturally, she also tried to find some information about An Jingzhen.

The result surprised her greatly. This person turned out to be the genius mentioned by her family.

Deep down, she felt that this person deserved this evaluation.

After all, I have seen many trainers since I was a child, and I have heard a lot of things about this.

However, I have never heard of many people becoming trainers before the age of 20, and guiding horse girls to win the competition as soon as they debut, including a G2 big reward.

Although they haven't met yet, she feels that the other party is worthy of the name.

While following Kita no Xuanju's instructions, she specifically looked at the senior's notes.

It turned out that the contents of the notes were very similar to the teachings heard in the family, and there were also some that had never been heard of before, which obviously came from Yasui Zhen.

All the trainers hired by the family have been famous for a long time. Since they can reach this level in theory, their actual training ability should not be too bad.

This made Xingmu want to meet Yasui Shin even more to see what level this trainer was at.

However, there were thousands of people coming to watch the event today, and the audience seats in the primary school playground were not very big. It was indeed difficult to find one person from the dense crowd.

So her eyes wandered for a while, and then she looked to the front of the audience.

"Hey—Xiao Xingmu, here, here!"

The knuckles that were tightly gripping the fence turned pale, and his eyes were fixed on the apricot eyes. Beibu Xuanju immediately saw the look in the eyes of this young junior.

"Come on! I'll be here watching you compete!"

"...Okay. I'll try my best."

She had almost understood the warm and cheerful personality of this senior, so she answered without caring whether the other party heard her or not, and her almond eyes looked back to the starting point.

Just like the official competition, there is a special gate for the competition at the starting point.

The slight difference is that these gates are much shorter and narrower, just right for the size of elementary school students.

There were already people taking their places at the gate, they were all classmates from our school on weekdays.

Looking at those familiar faces, Xingmu unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth and her breathing became rapid.

She had participated in such events and similar competitions, but those races were all short English distances required by her family.

This was her first time running a distance of 2000 meters.

More importantly, she didn't tell her family about signing up for this event.

The unfamiliarity and unknown brought by the unprecedented event, the worry and fear brought by making the decision alone without telling her family, at this moment she felt an excitement and tension that she had never experienced before.

So, you might be surprised to see me at this kind of competition...

She glanced at the audience, took a few deep breaths, suppressed her smile, and slowly walked into the gate.

Just as she was getting into the starting position and was about to review Northern Xuanju's instructions that morning, she suddenly heard a low murmur of surprise from the side.

"... Xingmu, do you really want to participate in this competition...?"

Glancing sideways at the gate next to her, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth again with excitement and nervousness.

But her tone remained calm.

"Why, can't it?"

She asked back, looking forward, "Besides... we're already standing here, you're not trying to persuade me to withdraw from the competition, are you, Satomi Shirasagi?"

In the gate next to Xingmu, a little pony girl with long black hair was also in a starting position.

There was a white fringe in her long black hair, and her small face vaguely resembled the Satomi sisters. "...You misunderstood, I didn't say that."

The little horse girl named Satomi Shirasagi said in astonishment again, and also looked forward and pushed her nose with her fingers.

"From a rational point of view, you've never practiced running 2000 meters before, and your family doesn't seem to support it..."

Before Satomi Shiraha could finish, Xingmu interrupted in a low voice:

“It has nothing to do with anything else.

"I wanted to run the 2000m, so I came, that's all.

“Besides, it’s better for you to concentrate on the game.

"I don't want you to be late for the race and blame me for being distracted by talking to you."

Satomi Shiraeki unconsciously pushed his nose bridge again, feeling helpless.

She is Xingmu's classmate and has a general understanding of the latter's situation.

In addition, she often listened to the conversations of her elders at home, so she had some idea of ​​what kind of requirements this classmate's family had made, and she also knew that the other party had his own ideas.

So when she heard the teacher announce that Xingmu was one of the contestants in the event, she was surprised at why Xingmu suddenly wanted to run a race other than short distance English, and she was also curious whether she was afraid of being blamed by her family.

But now people are already standing in the gate, and the game is about to begin.

She could only suppress her astonishment and curiosity, recalling the teachings of Senior Satomi Crown in the morning, and focus her attention on the gate in front of her.

Hmm... my seniors said that the exit is very important. If you are a little slow, you will miss the opportunity...

From now on, I can consider taking the inside lane in my position, but the outside lane is also fine, I just need to pay attention to my position when cornering...

If everything goes well, there will be enough energy to sprint at the end...

Thinking of this, the obviously excited broadcast sounded, and Satomi Shiraegi quickly collected his thoughts.

"Great! Our future rising stars are all lined up at the gate, ready to go!
"So, this 2000-meter grass 'Little Gaoyue Sho', now...

"Start... Hey hey hey—?"

In order to avoid distraction, Satomi Shirasagi focused her attention when she heard the announcement of the match, so she heard the commentator's exclamation clearly.

However, she didn't listen to the rest of the conversation.

Because she was also extremely surprised to see through her peripheral vision that the moment the gate next to her opened, a figure with long chestnut hair rushed out at an extremely fast speed in the blink of an eye.

The commentator was still exclaiming.

“This…this is the little Xingmu kid!
"No! It's Xingmu-san...it's Xingmu-san!

"The moment he left the gate, Xingmu burst out with incredible speed and snatched the first place in one breath!
"Is this... a short-distance run? Xingmu does come from a family that's known for producing strong short-distance runners..."

Since the commentary was done by teachers from the school, the opening commentary was not as professional as that of the official competition.

However, no one cares about this.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xingmu, and they were amazed at the astonishing speed that her small figure burst out.

As if wanting to tear something apart, in just a few seconds, the figure threw the gate away dozens of meters.

He also left all his opponents behind at a distance visible to the naked eye.

The audience suddenly became excited.

Most people who come here think of this activity as a primary school game.

However, no one expected that this so-called game would give everyone the same excitement as watching a real competition right from the start.
