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

This thought suddenly popped into my mind.

If it weren't for this reason, if things continued like this, let alone a match between a wealthy family and a genius, it would be difficult to control the gap within 10 lengths.

As for Barbatos' own physical exhaustion problem.

Her steps were still brisk. Although the field greatly accelerated the loss of physical strength, compared with the situation when the field was open throughout the cherry blossom viewing, although she was participating in the 3200-meter Tianchun at this moment, her physical strength consumption was not as good as during the cherry blossom viewing.

He glanced at the finish line, and the white lightning around him began to turn red. At this moment, his steps turned into a terrifying monster, and [Sprint] and [Highland Bloodline] were quietly activated.

The finish line is already within my range!

Rear position.

Mubai Guangming, who had been keeping his eyes on the finish line and not paying attention to Barbatos, finally couldn't stand the pressure at this moment and started to go all out in advance, rushing towards the finish line.

The real decisive point should be the final straight line after the slope. This is the experience that Mitsuaki Mejiro has gained from repeated long-distance competitions, and it is also the most effective way of running.

If you pay attention to Barbatos, perhaps she had already exerted her strength earlier to avoid being left behind.

But after listening to her grandmother's story of the Tortoise and the Hare, she chose to focus on the finish line and her own unique running style, but was also pulled away from Barbatos in an irreversible way.

"Congratulations to Barbatos for crossing the finish line and winning the Spring Emperor Award with a perfect victory!"

"Second place, Mejiro Kuangming!"

Chapter 240: Comparing myself to a tortoise, how can I defeat the rabbit?

Watching Barbatos cross the finish line with a lead of more than 10 lengths.

Thunderous cheers erupted from the audience, and those cheers alone seemed to be able to shake the entire Kyoto Racecourse.

The vast majority of the audience wanted to see Barbatos win, wanted to see Barbatos create another miracle, and wanted to see the strength of the world's genius sweeping away everything.

However, some rational people on the Internet had already analyzed the issue of the Spring Emperor's Award.

Let everyone know the difficulties Barbatos will face in participating in the Spring Emperor Award, and know that it will be almost difficult for Barbatos to win the Spring Emperor Award.

This also caused some concerns in the hearts of fans who firmly believed that Barbatos would win.

But at this moment.

All those worries turned into joy and excitement.

It should have been a fierce battle, but in reality it was so understated.

The so-called battle between the two strongest teams, the so-called wealthy family vs. the genius, is just like a one-man show by Barbatos, without any suspense and without any opponent!

A long-distance powerhouse? A racehorse from the Mejiro family? Even the world's greatest prodigy seemed insignificant in front of Barbatos!

Even though Mejiro Mitsuaki's performance in this match seemed to have serious problems, who could care less about that now?!

……

"Too strong! Xiaoba is really invincible!"

The twin turbos leaped with joy.

Ikuno Didus had a strange expression behind his glasses. He fixed his gaze on Mejiro Mitsuaki, who had also crossed the finish line and won second place. "Did you find Mejiro Mitsuaki's performance a little strange in this race?"

"Yeah, I think so too."

Excellent qualities echoed that, in her opinion, those horse racing girls who chose to take the lead seemed more normal.

Faced with Barbatos's pursuit and sprinting abilities, choosing to create distance from the very beginning might be the best option. Even if the distance cannot really be created, at least they have tried their best.

That is a gap that cannot be bridged between them and Barbatos now.

But why is Mejiro bright?

If she was running in the pursuit mode at the beginning in order to keep an eye on Barbatos, then why didn't she speed up immediately when Barbatos accelerated at Turn 3?

In this situation, I find it hard to understand the excellent qualities of Uma Musume.

Is he waiting for Barbatos to stall on the straight?

It might be possible to expect the opponent to make a mistake, but Mejiro Ming-yu should have a better way and should still have a chance to fight.

But why?

"This shouldn't be a matter of looking at the white light."

Minamisaka said seriously, "Just like the commentator said before, the acceleration through Turn 3 of the Spring Emperor's Award is something no horse girl has ever managed on the Spring. Normally, after accelerating through Turn 3, a typical horse girl would inevitably stall on the straight."

"Perhaps it was for this reason that Mejiro Kouyou chose to trust his own experience and chose to use his last kick to accelerate at the end."

What this means is that it's not that Mejiro Mingguang is too strong, but that Barbatos is too unconventional.

It's like, at a regular Spring Emperor's Award, who would have thought the pace would be so intense? Normally, the first half of the event is spent conserving energy, waiting for the final straight line to determine the winner.

Even Minamisaka couldn't name a few horsegirls who could truly outrun Tenharu with a runaway horse's style.

Thinking of this, Nanban looked towards the place not far away from him.

Looking at the figure in the nebula sky.

If it were Nebula Sky, perhaps Tianchun would be able to lead the entire race?

……

Barbatos stood at the finish line, feeling the cheers and applause that belonged only to her, the winner.

After the Winter Dream Cup, she set a small goal to challenge the Spring Emperor Award, hoping that she could overcome the problem of lack of physical strength and not fall to the bottom all of a sudden even without the existence of the system.

And now, even if she only relies on the movement speed bonus of some passive skills, she can barely keep up with the full speed of ordinary G1 horse girls when running at full speed. Her physical strength is several levels higher than that of G1 horse girls. Even legendary horse girls probably don’t have such monster physical strength as her.

With a bright smile on her face.

But while she was happy, she also knew that this was not enough. Compared to the legend, she was still a little immature even if she relied on the system.

We cannot be complacent just because we won the Spring Emperor's Prize. If Mejiro Mitsuaki had changed his strategy in this race, even if he could win, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to pull away by more than 10 lengths.

Even though she could be a little arrogant in pre-match interviews and trash talk, she never slacked off in her research and preparation for her opponents.

Since I have already won the Spring Emperor Award.

The next goal is to securely win the Mares Triple Crown title, strive for the Autumn Emperor's Prize, and strive to achieve the Spring and Autumn consecutive championships.

and the year-end international tournament, the Japan Cup.

And he fought against those G1-level monsters in Takarazuka Kinen and Arima Kinen to hone himself.

Even if Condor chose to move abroad, if it was Takarazuka or Arima, she would most likely encounter Silent Suzuka or a legendary horse girl, which would be a real polish for her.

This will allow her to accumulate enough experience to compete in the Winter Dream Cup at the end of this year and challenge the legend again!

Then look at the gap between myself and the symbol of Rudolph, and then see if there is still a gap between myself and other legends after a year of competition.

After considering this, the applause and cheers gradually subsided.

Barbatos turned around and looked at the other horse racing ladies who had already walked over. He communicated with them, shared some of his thoughts on this game, some ideas on long-distance events, and talked about deciding the outcome in the next race.

But her eyes were looking at Mubai Guangming who did not come over. The failure of this game must have dealt her a heavy blow.

Especially after experiencing a series of victories in the G series, they suddenly suffered a crushing defeat.

Even though Mejiro Mitsuaki still got a good result of second place, this second place was more than 10 lengths ahead of the first place.

"Mejiro-san?"

Barbatos walked over and greeted them with a smile. As a horse racing girl, she knew very well that the pain brought by failure did not actually require any comfort. Comfort might be helpful, but more importantly, one needed to get out of failure on their own.

She actually looked for Mejiro Mitsuaki for another reason.

"Ok?"

Mubai Guangming looked at Barbatos with some confusion, not knowing what Barbatos was going to say.

Seeing Mejiro Komiya up close for the first time, Barbatos felt that if she were in China, she would probably be a good candidate for a daughter-in-law, as she looked very virtuous.

But she didn't look at it or think about it too much, because she already had a girlfriend, so she chose to get straight to the point.

"Can I ask what the so-called tortoise and the hare race actually means?"

For a moment, Mejiro Guangming didn't understand why Barbatos asked this, but it was not something that could not be said, so he explained the meaning of the tortoise and the hare race to Barbatos.

“The hare is concerned about the tortoise, but the tortoise is only concerned about the finish line?”

Barbatos muttered to himself. At first glance, this sentence seemed to make sense and made him feel enlightened.

But...wasn't it because of this sentence that Mejiro Mitsuaki didn't catch up with me immediately when I accelerated?

The Tortoise and the Hare...

If you compare yourself to a tortoise, how can you possibly beat the rabbit?

Chapter 241 Happy Birthday

The Spring Emperor's Award has come to an end.

But the Spring Emperor's Award has not ended yet, and the winner's stage unique to Barbatos has not yet begun.

The audience in the auditorium were still sharing their joy with their relatives, friends, and fellow Hermes fans who liked Barbatos, waiting for the arrival of the winner's stage.

Similarly, some people were on their way out of the racecourse.

Mujiro Guangming walked slowly in the passage where the contestants were leaving, with her head lowered. Her bangs covered half of her face, making it difficult to see much of her expression.

Unlike the spectators, the participating horse girls rarely have the mood to stay at the racecourse to watch the winner's stage.

More often than not, they would return to Tresen Academy to sort out their emotions, find a tree hole to cry in, or immediately start training more vigorously.

It was just the sound of someone walking in front that made her look up, and she saw three familiar figures, none other than the ancestor of the Mejiro family, as well as Mejiro Duobo and Mejiro Rein.

Mejiro Mitsuaki came to the ancestor of the Mejiro family with an apologetic look on his face.

As a member of the Mejiro family, she was met with homage at the Spring Emperor's Award. She felt apologetic for her lack of strength, and also felt guilty for not being able to perform well after receiving guidance from her ancestors.

He bowed deeply, "Grandma, I'm sorry."

"I lost."

And he lost miserably, being left behind by more than 10 horse lengths!

Looking at Mejiro Mitsuaki's appearance, the ancestor of the Mejiro family sighed softly, as if he saw himself who had lost to the symbol of Rudolph.

Even if you don't want to admit it, some people may never be surpassed even if you spend your whole life trying.

Hard work can surpass genius, but how can hard work surpass genius?

Thinking of these heavy things, the old ancestor did not show it, but gently reached out and stroked Mubai Guangming's hair, his tone was unusually gentle.

"Grandma, I'm not blind."

"If you hadn't been remembering the story of the tortoise and the hare, you might have achieved even better results."

"grandmother……"

Mejiro Guangming murmured softly. She never thought it was her grandmother's problem, but that she was just not strong enough.

She hadn't even thought that her usually stern grandmother would actually speak like this. To say she was touched would be a lie. Her already firm will became even stronger at this moment. She was ready to practice even harder after returning to catch up with Barbatos.

She didn't want to disappoint her grandmother again.

"We'll win it back next time."

The ancestor of the Mejiro family did not say the discouraging words in the end. She was the pillar of the Mejiro family, so how could she say such words?

It's just that the tortoise and the hare race was originally a symbolic way for Rudolph to defeat him, but he has never succeeded once.

Using this story to teach the younger generation has indeed achieved very good results.

But there has never been a horse girl like Barbatos before, not to mention that this generation is full of stars.

How can the tortoise beat the hare?

She was not belittling herself. They were descendants of the Mubai family, and those with outstanding talents had nothing to fear even if they faced the Empress Qi Trough, the Female Heroine Amazon, and others at their peak condition.

But the group led by Barbatos is really despairing.

Barbatos, Condor, and Silent Suzuka, if they grow up, they may all be horse girls at the level of Maruzenski and the others.

"Um……"

Mubai Guangming nodded gently, feeling the warmth of his grandmother's palm, and felt that his grandmother seemed a little different today.

But she was not prepared to ask too many questions, and the man's determination to bring glory to the Mejiro family became even stronger.
