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

"I think she can run a race that will go down in history."

"Haha, maybe I'm just being selfish."

"So at that time, I also had some discussions with Suzuka and Ahua, and after gaining Suzuka's own consent, I recommended Spica."

"Ahua is the best among my students, but being in Rigil is more restrictive for Suzuka."

"Your training philosophy, even though it may seem like the worst to others, happens to be the most suitable for Suzuka."

Okino scratched his head after listening to this, and for a moment he didn't know whether Teacher Takefeng was praising him or insulting him.

It was also unexpected that Suzuka's joining Spica was also due to the contribution of Mr. Taketoshi.

"So, teacher, are you here for the Takarazuka Kinen?"

“This is also a little selfish of mine.”

"I want to see Suzuka go down in history, so let's see if my advice has any effect on you and Suzuka."

Any suggestions? Any suggestions from Mr. Taketoshi?

Okino's eyes lit up. Although there were other very powerful retired trainers in the Japanese horse racing world, when it came to horse escaping, Mr. Taketoshi was undoubtedly the best.

He took a deep breath, "So, Taketoyo-sensei also thinks that for Suzuka right now, Kigou is a difficult opponent to defeat?"

In the decisive battle of the first half of the year, both Okino and other horse racing enthusiasts believed that Chicao was the absolute favorite to win the championship. She is the legendary horse girl.

Wu Feng shook his head.

"The biggest enemy is not the gas tank."

Chapter 260 Barbatos's Efforts

"As expected, it still doesn't work?"

At the training ground, Barbatos, who had just started running, stopped again.

This was the 200th time she had tried this starting method since the Japan Oaks, but none of them had achieved the desired effect.

After the Japan Oaks, she would take out a considerable amount of time for starting training in addition to her daily physical training.

Starting training is a compulsory course for horse racing girls.

For ordinary horse girls, this compulsory course is more used to prevent delays.

Even for a powerful horse girl, this may be all she can do, because for a horse girl who is catching up, lagging behind, or ahead, as long as she doesn't start late, that's enough.

Afterwards, just choose the position that is most beneficial to you according to the situation of the game.

This is normal among Uma Musume.

However, starting training is crucial for a escaping horse.

Because of the quality of the start, the escaped horse can save more energy. If the start is the same as that of other horse girls, it will need to spend more energy to catch up and take the leading position.

Barbatos itself can be considered a runaway horse, but in the eyes of outsiders, it just runs too fast so it looks like a runaway horse.

No one knew that she was going all out from the start, and the final sprint depended on her skills.

Taking the system into account, she is the type of horse that chases after, but she is too cautious so she looks like a fleeing horse.

Therefore, in other competitions, the starting method and speed are not too important for Barbatos, not to mention when the opponent is a runner like Nebula Sky, and their running styles are mirrored.

Barbatos's start was naturally not bad either, and it could even be said that it was no worse than other true escape horses.

But now the Takarazuka Kinen has forced Barbatos to consider a more optimized starting method.

Because the next opponent will be the "escaper from another dimension", the silent Suzuka of "Pegasus"!

Anyone who has watched the silent Suzuka race, whether in person, through live broadcast or replay video, will find one thing. If you don't watch the race closely, you will find that Suzuka has already opened up a considerable gap if you just blink at the start.

It was as if Silent Suzuka had used Flash.

Ordinary escape horses, including Nebula Sky, have a gradual process from starting to leading, and the horse's body will slowly widen the gap and then come to the leading position.

The same was true for Silent Suzuka, but because her start was too exaggerated, the gap seemed to be widened from the beginning.

He took the lead at the very beginning of the game, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.

Such a gap may not be big, but it is fatal enough in the actual race. What Barbatos has to do now is to narrow the gap caused by the start as much as possible.

It is impossible to compete with Silent Suzuka for the lead.

It is impossible to replicate the match with Silent Suzuka into the Sakura Viewing match with Condor.

At the cherry blossom viewing event, she and Condor both seemed to be in the lead, leaving all the other horse girls behind.

At that time, Barbatos really tried her best. She knew in her heart that she was running like a escape horse, but to the Condor, that was not her full strength. She still retained her speed and physical strength to compete with herself in the final straight line.

If Condor uses all his strength from the beginning, Barbatos will not be able to keep up without relying on system skills.

If we apply this situation to the upcoming Takarazuka Kinen and the match against Suzuka, the same will happen.

Silent Suzuka is not a condor, she does not need to hold back, her way of running is to sprint all the way to the finish line as if it were a time-limited race. In this case, all Barbatos can do is to make up for some of the gap as much as possible at the beginning of the race.

Compared to Condor, Barbatos has an additional advantage when facing Suzuka.

Barbatos started to run again and again. Beside her were Nebula Sky, Twin Turbine, and Ulala, training together and improving their starts. Canopus's other friends watched from the side.

For Excellent Quality, Taikan Poetry Drama, Ikuno Didus and others, this is not something they need to train for.

They are not horse girls who are good at leading.

At this time, they were more responsible for cheering and encouraging each other, and perhaps they were more determined to work hard after watching Barbatos and the others train.

Minamisaka used a tablet and a stopwatch to record the starting data of Barbatos and others.

After another hundred or so times of starting training.

Twin Turbine had already stopped training out of breath. Her physical strength could not support such high-intensity training. Only Ulala, who had been training with Holy King Halo, and Barbatos, who now had monster physical strength, and Nebula Sky persisted.

It was already dark at this time, and the street lights in Tresen Academy were turned on.

Barbatos picked up a towel not far away and wiped the sweat from his face and hair. Then he picked up the water cup, took a sip, and handed it to Xingyun Tiankong beside him.

Then he looked at Nanban, "How does it compare to before?"

"Some progress."

Nansaka nodded with satisfaction, looking at the data about Barbatos on the tablet. "Although the improvement is not big, compared to the Japan Oaks and the Cherry Blossom Viewing, this start is already a big improvement."

While speaking, he switched the data on the tablet several times.

"Nebula Sky, Ulala and Twin Turbine have also made significant progress."

If a member of Canopus wants to debut, Minamisaka has to strictly control the process. Minamisaka will only let his horse girls debut if he is sure that they can win the debut match.

In this case, there is no problem for Canopus's horse girl to start the race.

Normally, there won't be a situation like Spica's special week where the start is late.

In this case, further improvement in the starting point is also very valuable, and it also lays a solid foundation for future competitions.

Hearing this, Barbatos sighed softly.

I feel that I am still a long way from having a start like Silent Suzuka. Compared to Silent Suzuka's escape, Barbatos did not initially position himself in this aspect. It was only when he was preparing for the Takarazuka Kinen, studying Silent Suzuka's videos, and considering Silent Suzuka as his next opponent that he noticed the gap in the start.

It is almost impossible to make up for the starting gap in a short period of time. Maybe it is possible for Zhou, but it is difficult for Barbatos.

However, Barbatos immediately cheered up.

"Nanban, you guys go back and rest first. I'll be training for a while."

"We will try to reduce the gap between us and Suzuka at the start before the Takarazuka Kinen."

Chapter 261 Characteristics of the Domain

Under the streetlight.

Minamisaka did not stay at the training ground to watch Barbatos train, but left directly.

Not only him, but also only Barbatos and Nebula Sky were left on the training ground.

As a trainer, Minamisaka's role on site is more to collect training data so that he can better judge the improvement. Being on site or not does not help with the improvement.

Although Minamisaka is a new trainer, he is still very rational in this regard.

Unlike some other trainers, he would not watch his horse girls train the whole time. Instead, he would use this time to look up more materials and information, discuss with other trainer friends, and come up with a better training plan.

This is actually something that is more helpful to the horse girls under you.

Of course, the more important thing is that Minamisaka doesn't want to stay in the training ground and be a light bulb for Barbatos and the others.

Nanban couldn't help but sigh.

"During the Chinese New Year, when I sent Barbatos and the others home, I was thinking about finding a girlfriend."

"But there's still no progress."

During the New Year holidays at home, he devoted himself to studying how to better train his horse girls and some computer matters. After arriving at Tresen Academy, he usually stayed with his horse girls and had no chance to interact with the opposite sex.

But even so, Minamisaka was just mentally complaining about the guy of the opposite age, Saki, and was a little envious of Barbatos' campus romance.

Minamisaka's current life is already very fulfilling, and he is living happily with his horse girl. In fact, he doesn't have the mentality of necessarily finding a partner.

Especially when I think of how hard Barbatos tried just now.

"It seems that the failure of the Winter Dream Cup is not a bad thing for Barbatos."

Minamisaka muttered to himself, still remembering Barbatos from last year. She had won every game since her debut, and almost no horse girls of the same generation could rival her. She had a fan base comparable to that of legendary horse girls, and she was able to participate in the Winter Dream Cup right after her debut, and was at the peak of her popularity.

At that time, Nansaka had no sense of participation in Barbatos' victory. The championship was won entirely by relying on Barbatos' own talent and strength.

Usually in the team dormitory, you see them playing League of Legends on their phones.

Even if she didn't see it, Minamisaka could see Barbatos's live broadcast in his room, and the live broadcast time was almost full. As an active Umamusume, she could even get the full attendance of the anchor.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Now, he can see Barbatos training every day. The live broadcast room he follows, the captain's live broadcast room, will only be broadcast for a short time on the day after each game.

It’s like taking advantage of one or two games of League of Legends to share daily life and game situations with the viewers in the live broadcast room.

As a trainer, Minamisaka was very pleased about this. At least Barbatos focused on the game and training, and temporarily put aside the League of Legends.

What makes Nanban even happier is that the original large number of live broadcasts has now been reduced to this extent.

The fans in Barbatos's live broadcast room and the comments in the fan groups were all cheering and encouraging Barbatos, and there was no complaint at all about the reduction in live broadcasts.

This is a great start.

"Mr. Trainer!"

The voice of excellent quality came from far away and the figure soon came to the side of Nanban, making Nanban a little stunned.

Under the street lights, the two reddish-brown ponytails set off her excellent qualities and made her look exceptionally beautiful.

Nanban didn't pay much attention to this. As a fan of horse racing girls, he had a filter for all horse racing girls. "Quality, what happened?"

"Uh, no."

Excellent Quality stretched out his hand to smooth his bangs awkwardly. "Turbo said he wanted to watch Senior Fulai's training to get a glimpse of the enemy's situation. Ulala is going to deliver dinner to Saint King Halo. Poetry Drama and Didos are also busy..."

"So, I came here because I thought I could have dinner with Mr. Trainer."

The usually graceful and elegant man hesitated this time and didn't dare to look at Nanban for too long.

"Okay, but the school cafeteria is about to close at this time. Let's go to the cafeteria and buy something to eat outside."

Nanban agreed immediately.

The food at Tresen Academy is very good, better than most restaurants outside. Unless there is a competition outside, or there is a particularly famous restaurant, or if they want to drink, generally speaking, the students, teachers and trainers in Tresen Academy will not go out to eat.

"okay."

Excellent Quality hummed lightly, and for a moment he couldn't find a topic to talk about.

After a long silence, she took the initiative to talk about Barbatos. As a teammate, she was still very concerned about the other teammates.

"Trainer, do you think that Xiaoba can win over Qi Tan in this Takarazuka Kinen?"

Although the Winter Dream Cup II cage 21 slipped Barbatos to focus on training and competition, but right after the game ended everyone could feel that Barbatos had obviously suffered a small blow.

This time at the Takarazuka Kinen, we are once again facing the legendary Uma Musume. Everyone appears to be full of confidence in Barbatos, but they are still worried behind the scenes.

I am worried that if Barbatos loses to the gas tank again at this Takarazuka Kinen, it will be hit again.

"We'll find out after the competition."
