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

The Saint King Halo next to him walked over and said, "Xiaoba, congratulations!"

She suppressed the disappointment and pain she had felt after seeing the photo of her crossing the finish line. That was not the expression a king should have. After encountering failure, one should face it squarely.

Now that we have lost, we must practice harder when we go back!

As his classmate, Barbatos deserved the victory. Even if he won by chance, he would still feel that he did not deserve the honor.

The voice of the Holy King Halo instantly woke Barbatos and Nebula Sky up.

The two figures separated quickly, pretending that nothing had happened, but both Barbatos and Nebula Sky had a hint of Bubble Teapot on their faces.

"Almost..."

Barbatos pursed his lips, but he didn't think of blaming the Holy King's halo.

After she came to her senses, she immediately realized the problem. If she kissed him like that, the consequences would be completely uncontrollable.

And she hadn't confessed yet. This was really sudden. I couldn't control myself for a moment and became overly impulsive.

"Thank you. I almost lost just now."

"I won't lose again next time. I will definitely show you the running form of a king."

The Holy King's halo ruffled her hair, and she gracefully made a harsh remark. The next time she met Barbatos, she would act like a "prodigy of the world"!

But as soon as she finished speaking, she paused and looked at Barbatos' legs.

"How's your leg?"

"what?"

Barbatos tilted his head in confusion, but then he felt severe soreness, swelling and pain.

That was when I was running and waiting to cross the finish line for the photo shoot. I was so focused that I didn't feel anything.

It was as if my legs were no longer my own.

This should be just the result of trying my best before and forcing myself to increase the frequency of my legs... right?

So when Xingyun Tiankong came over and asked what was going on with him, he was also asking about this matter.

Is it because after being hit by the Nimble Bailey, her speed dropped drastically? Is it because she suffered a leg injury?

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a moment."

Barbatos waved his hand nonchalantly.

Even if his foot was injured by the collision with the Nimble Bailey, it could be healed through [Healing].

What's more, she didn't feel any pain after being hit.

The one we should really worry about is Dexter Bailey. We didn't see her after the game. She must have been taken to the infirmary by her trainer and staff.

Xingyun Tiankong next to her glanced at her with a vague look in his eyes.

If I can still think about that kind of thing, then I should be fine, but...

She grabbed Barbatos' hand and said, "That's absolutely necessary. Come with me to the infirmary!"

Sometimes one's own judgment is often not very accurate, and whether there is no problem depends on the doctor in the racecourse's infirmary.

"Okay, as ordered!"

Barbatos waved towards the Holy King Halo.

Enduring the pain in his legs, he walked towards the infirmary with Xingyun Tiankong.

With a big smile on his face, it felt good to be worried about by Xingyun Tiankong.

The soreness and swelling in my legs are real, so it's okay to go to the infirmary. As for whether or not to use [Treatment] on myself, that's not necessary.

Although there would be pain, she knew that she did not feel that way when she was hit.

So, it probably won't be a big problem.

……

In the infirmary.

Nanban and Ulala had been waiting here for a long time.

"Sigh~"

Barbatos, who was having his leg checked by a doctor, couldn't help but gasp.

Although I felt soreness, swelling and pain before, it was not so obvious.

But when the doctor reached out and touched it, applying a little force, the pain seemed to be amplified instantly.

Or.

Before, her attention was always on the game and on Xingyun Tiankong.

Just like holding the nebula sky’s hand when you are afraid of heights can effectively distract your attention.

next to.

There was inevitably tension in the nebula sky.

Originally, looking at Barbatos' condition, she thought he should be fine, but her heart suddenly hung in the air.

After a quick examination, the doctor looked up and looked at Barbatos as if he were looking at a monster. "Your left foot is sprained to some extent. You were able to win the game despite being hit and spraining both feet..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it was just a sprain.

Including Barbatos, if she suffers a fracture, she will miss the Hanshin Special Youth Tournament and the Winter Dream Cup.

Even if she could use [Healing] to heal herself within two days, that wouldn't be possible if others knew about the fracture, just like when she first crossed over.

"This should allow us to catch up with the Hanshin Special Youth Tournament, right?"

"It depends on your own recovery ability."

The doctor pushed the bridge of his nose, his eyes extremely serious. "Also, there is a more serious problem."

"Your body can't sustain the speed you displayed today. If you do it two or three more times, or run even faster... I'm afraid you'll have to say goodbye to the competition."

"Part of the pain you felt just now came from the sprain, and part of it came from the muscles in your leg."

"?!!"

Barbatos was stunned for a moment, "How could it be?"

"The Emperor and the others ran faster than me. They were clearly fine."

The doctor sighed, "For a horse girl, endurance can be trained, but speed is basically impossible. It's not that speed can't be improved through training, but there is a speed limit."

"This is a limit that most horse girls cannot reach."

Just like the horse girls who opened the field in the past, they often got injured after the race, and this is exactly the reason.

Inside the infirmary, Xingyun Tiankong, Nanban, and Ulala twitched their lips slightly, their hearts filled with sorrow. How could this happen?!

"Almost impossible? That means it's still possible to improve."

Barbatos endured the pain and stood up from his seat. There was no frustration or pain on his face, only confidence and calmness.

I wondered what the doctor was going to say.

"It's their fault if they can't do it, but I'm Barbatos!"

Chapter 150 Nanban's Persistence

On the way back to Tresen Academy.

Barbatos was sitting in the back seat of a commercial vehicle, with a pressure bandage applied to his sprained right ankle.

The doctor also prescribed a spray that needed to be applied the next day.

The soreness and swelling in my legs have been initially relieved thanks to the emergency treatment I received in the infirmary, although I won't be able to run for the next week or even longer.

Although forcing myself to walk is not a problem.

But it is best to rest quietly and have someone to support you when you walk.

This task naturally fell on his roommate, Xingyun Tiankong, and no one among Canopus's friends competed for it.

They were also worried, but the relationship between Barbatos and Nebula Sky was there.

Even though the two have never admitted their relationship in person, not to mention the issue of holding hands, even the hug after the game made people feel a different emotion.

"Barbatos."

Nanban, who was driving, spoke in a rare serious tone.

He is probably the most direct of Tresen's trainers in terms of his love for his horse girls.

Now Barbatos has such a situation...

"Hanshin Special Youth Tournament, why not just give up?"

"Even if you miss the Hanshin Youth Special Tournament, no one will doubt your ability."

Because of running too fast, it caused leg problems. If this continues, he may not be able to run for the rest of his life.

This is undoubtedly the biggest nightmare for Uma Musume.

Barbatos doesn't practice normally and has been live streaming League of Legends, but Nanban can see that Barbatos also loves running and enjoys the joy brought by winning the game.

If this continues.

Barbatos didn't give his all in the Hanshin Special Youth Tournament?

Will you give your all in the Winter Dream Cup?

These will directly lead to leg injuries for Barbatos, significantly shortening his career, and even after retirement he will not be able to run.

If only he hadn't agreed to let Barbatos sign up for so many competitions.

"Well, if I can recover, please let me participate."

"Otherwise, if those fans who booked Hanshin tickets or even plane tickets because of me find out, won't I feel very sorry for them?"

"If they are your fans, they all want you to have a good rest!"

Nansaka righteously clapped his hands subconsciously, slapping them on the steering wheel. "After this game, there will definitely be relevant news released. This is the last thing you need to worry about."

"Why not put aside the Hanshin Special Youth Tournament and the Winter Dream Cup, take a few months off, and then come back."

If that's the case, at least I can have a good rest.

At least there is a chance for Barbatos to complete the Mares' Triple Crown, so she won't have any regrets even if she retires now.

You know, there is not much time left until the Hanshin Special Youth Tournament. According to the doctor, Barbatos has just recovered for a short time at most, and may not even have time for rehabilitation training.

Next to Barbatos.

Xingyun Tiankong pursed her lips. She could hear Nanban's anxiety.

It can be heard that the reason Barbatos said fans just wanted to participate in the competition.

If it were any other time, she would probably tell Minamisaka directly that Barbatos just wanted to participate in the competition and it wasn't really because of the fans.

But now she didn't know what to say. She was so concerned that even her wisdom was a little confused.

At this moment, she felt her hand being gently tickled.

Then he awkwardly turned it over and gently held it, interlocking his fingers.

This time she didn't blush because she had something more worrying in her mind. She turned her head to look at Barbatos beside her.

I saw her looking at me with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

"Ulala knows. I broke my leg during the entrance exam, but I still managed to make it to the re-examination without being affected."

"If I don't feel up to it during the competition, I will ask to withdraw."

"So, let me run, Minamisaka..."

This sentence was said to both Nanban and Xingyun Tiankong, and it can also relieve friends from worrying too much.

In the past, when she interacted with Xingyun Tiankong, she was always in a passive position.

But she just wasn't that aggressive, it didn't mean she was stupid, it didn't mean she couldn't see Xingyun Tiankong's concern for her.

After the race, we went straight to the finish line.
