Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Therefore, the unique skill of Scarlet Amber is like a response to her wish.

There are no numerical bonuses, and you don't need to think too much to use it... just abandon your brain and charge forward, performing an unparalleled dance.

But if someone ignorant of her abilities were to attempt to force their way into Hitotsu Amber's unparalleled dance, then things would get interesting. Trying to interfere with Hitotsu Amber?

First, you'll have to experience what it's like to get slapped twice across the face by her.

On the track, Takasho Junichi and Satomi Hikari were thrown into disarray by Hitoko Amber's sudden counterattack. Although they were subjected to twice the sharp gaze, it was not an unbearable impact for these two G1-level racehorse girls.

However, a racehorse's performance on the track requires momentum and fighting spirit. Once that momentum is lost and she falls into a slump, she can easily fall into a state of despondency, just like a soldier in battle.

That's how it is for the two of them now; despite their best efforts, they can only let Hitotsu Amber slip by...

In the instant they brushed past each other, did Gao Shangjunyi catch a whiff of Fei Tu Hu Po's pleasant scent? Although it was as if she had crawled out of a mountain of corpses covered in blood, Fei Tu Hu Po was still the same Fei Tu Hu Po who exuded a unique fragrance.

But it doesn't seem to be entirely the same strange-looking Scarlet Amber from before...

Gao Shangjunyi didn't know what changes had taken place deep within Fei Tu Hu Po's heart, but it must have been a tremendous upheaval.

What could possibly cause such a dramatic change in the Scarlet Amber?

I'd like to learn more about it myself...

Meanwhile, ahead, the girl named Golden Ship gritted her teeth and maintained her sprinting speed. "Ah... I didn't expect that in the end I would still have to have a dark duel with Hito-kun. I don't want this to happen."

After all, back in Central Teresa, the two were rivals in name only. Although they didn't communicate much, their daily interactions were like a "police chase" or a "hot pursuit."

As of now, Amber's overall record shows more wins than losses.

Golden Ship is a true endurance-specialized racehorse girl, with a focus on tracks longer than 3000 meters from the very beginning of its training program.

Therefore, while her endurance is outstanding, her other attributes are inevitably relatively low. As a result, in the Satsuki Sho race, where only the fastest horse girl can win, the Golden Ship had an extremely difficult time.

That's why the golden ship chose to start its sprint when it was less than a thousand meters away... but the speed was still not enough.

Just as they were about to pass the fourth turn, on the middle track where almost no racehorse girls would attempt to take on the challenge, a crimson figure suddenly appeared.

You should know that choosing the middle or outer circle for cornering will result in a much longer distance to run.

And Hitoko Amber, isn't she said to have the "Jade Syndrome," or rather, the negative skill of being unable to turn right? Back when we were chasing each other in the streets, my favorite thing to do was run in the right direction and tease Hitoko Amber mercilessly. Although later Hitoko Amber's stun baton was also mainly characterized by powerful swings and warm electric shocks…

However, the Golden Ship also used this opportunity to discover the weakness of the Scarlet Amber.

Why is Hitotsu Amber acting so arrogantly now?! She suddenly veers off onto the middle track after turning right at the corner?!

No... Could it be that my information was wrong? I previously obtained information about Hibiki Amber's skill of turning right incorrectly.

Was it all an act by this woman?

Without the slightest hesitation, Golden Ship used its remaining energy to accelerate its pace, taking advantage of the rain and the last duration of its exclusive skill to speed into the bend.

Hitotsu Amber followed closely into the corner, speeding along the slightly outside of the track.

At the moment of entering the turn, the cornering skill [Dancing Diva of the Whirlwind Dance] was activated. The yellowish-brown lights were cast on the rain curtain, like the sandstorm of the Western Regions flying all over the sky. In a daze, the sound of drums could be faintly heard, which complemented the running rhythm of Fei Tu Hu Po. It was just like a dance.

[It's here! The final, heated stage of the Satsuki Sho has begun! Two horse girls with unique skills have started their final duel!]

Golden Ship and Scarlet Amber exchanged a glance.

That's right, a duel. The two remaining leaders will eventually have a fierce battle.

Even though Gao Shangjunyi and Li Jianguangzuan had previously helped to test the waters, revealing the full effect of Fei Tu Hu Po's exclusive skill, and even knowing Fei Tu Hu Po's skill, the necessary restraint skill still had to be used.

The saying goes that it's better to have a big move go to waste than to have no big move at all. In this match, both sides have to play all the cards they have.

The biggest advantage of the Golden Ship over the Scarlet Amber is its high endurance and ability to withstand pressure.

then--

[Control Skill - Keep an eye on the rear]

[Counterattack - Interference]

[Correction and Restraint]

[Counterattack - Hesitation]

The two racehorse girls ran at extremely high speeds while exchanging deadly moves as if in a duel. One was a carefree old captain, and the other was a blood-soaked dancer.

As the commentator rattled off the skill names like popping beans, the nearly 100,000 spectators erupted in excited shouts.

"It really feels like every punch lands... These skills go back and forth, I love watching beautiful girls fight."

"Hehe, to witness such a battle between powerful individuals up close, even death would be worth it..."

"These control skills, with all the back-and-forth swords, spears, and clubs, I can practically see the horse girl's mouth forming the shape of a groan... Why aren't the sounds from the arena being broadcast? I want to hear Amber's soft moans..."

Golden Ship was drenched in sweat, never expecting that... this Scarlet Amber had actually overcome the skill of cornering poorly. With the help of the cornering skill, its speed was no worse than that of a regular high-reward racehorse girl.

Moreover... a few ordinary restraining skills, when combined with the counterattack effect, are really painful to hit.

Fortunately, Scarlet Amber hasn't yet delved into the use of restraint skills or honed her "dance skills," otherwise, if she were to use a gold-level skill like Anger Killing Technique or Dominance... it would probably be world-destroying.

Of course, the Golden Ship's skills were not just for show; they were equally effective on Hitsu Amber, who could even hear Hitsu Amber's panting at that moment.

Golden Ship itself was also panting... Relying on her high stamina, she took a lot of counterattacks. If it weren't for the insufficient computing power of the AR equipment on site, which prevented the red special effect arrows fired by Scarlet Amber from being preserved for a long time, Golden Ship would have been riddled with holes by now.

What a thoroughly enjoyable exchange of arrows...

As we rounded the bend, we saw the split hem of Hitotsu Amber's skirt and the beautiful curve of her hips beneath her tight-fitting clothes.

It's now confirmed that Hibiki Amber has definitely overcome her negative skill of poor right turn!

[Hibiko Kohaku, who was originally bad at right turns... somehow managed to accelerate through the corners and take first place in the Satsuki Sho!]

[The bloodied Pegasus has taken the lead on the final straight line! And it has begun its sprint!]

Behind Hibiki Amber, Golden Ship stepped onto the track, activating its mid-race stamina recovery skill... Wait, even a long-distance horse girl is forced to use a stamina recovery skill? But, Golden Ship's speed seems to have reached its limit!

From the golden ship's perspective, the scarlet amber was steadily widening the gap between itself and the crimson amber.

Compared to herself, Hitoko's training is not only focused on long distances... Hitoko also undergoes considerable intensive training for middle distances and for miles, where strength and speed are emphasized.

Moreover, when facing off against Hitsuko, the Golden Ship could directly feel Hitsuko's determination and perseverance. Even though Hitsuko was already panting heavily, she continued to accelerate.

However, when it comes to perseverance and persistence, the Golden Ship is not very good at it.

It's just a competition, why risk your life like that!

Health first, friendship second, competition third. The Golden Boat's dream is to win three championships, but ultimately, the pursuit is to graduate healthy and alive...

Amid cheers from the audience, the LED screen focused a close-up shot on Hitotsu Amber. In the image, Hitotsu Amber appeared quite petite, but the special effects behind her, resembling the skirt of a nine-tailed fox, and the crimson light trailing from her fingers, were particularly striking and extremely slender.

The second-ranked golden ship could barely reach the edge of that light and shadow.

[Here she comes! Here she comes! The horse girl whose skill is named "Musou Ranbu" (Unrivaled Dance), a horse girl clad in crimson, gallops! At the Satsuki Sho tournament, which has garnered worldwide attention! She unleashes her Musou dance!]

[The Golden Ship runners are already exhausted. Behind them, Satomi Hikari and Takashiro Junichi are sprinting towards the finish line, shouting as they go... But will they make it in time?]

One horse's body! Two horse's bodies!

[Three horse bodies!]

The camera switches to a parallel viewpoint, parallel to the finish line. Amidst the attention of everyone, Hitoko Amber, with her head held high, reaches the finish line first with an unparalleled posture!

[A three-horse length victory! A clear advantage! Scarlet Amber crosses the finish line!]

The crimson figure crashed across the finish line.

In the arena, a large number of special effects fireworks symbolizing victory and blessings bloomed around Hibiki Amber.

At the same time, the badge of honor belonging to Uma Musume, commonly known as the "show dog tag," slowly appeared above Hitoko Amber's head, clearly marking Uma Musume's most illustrious achievements:

[4-4, undefeated]

Meanwhile, in the stands, the audience's discussions and cheers had just begun. Hitokohaku had already won the title of the fastest racehorse girl in the Satsuki Sho competition, and at this moment, she had become a G1-level racehorse girl with considerable influence.

Previously, people's detailed information about the red amber was often just a cursory glance.

Rather than track adaptability or running prowess, people are actually more concerned about Hitotsu Amber's height, weight, and other physical attributes...

But now, Hitoko has already won the Satsuki Prize. This means that she will undoubtedly become a top contender in the upcoming Japanese Derby and even the Chrysanthemum Prize.

For such a high-profile contestant, no matter how attractive her appearance is, people will inevitably start to pay attention to her numerical attributes.

It's unclear which audience member wanted to see Hibiki Amber's attributes and battle record, intending to take a screenshot as a souvenir. But after seeing it, they immediately exclaimed:

"What does it mean that the adaptability to mile, medium distance, and long distance tracks is all A? It means that as long as it's a track, you can throw it on and run it!"

"real or fake?"

"Huh? What kind of all-around prodigy is this?"

These words caused a huge stir. Those viewers who had become "Hitoko Amber's favorites" because of today's race all took out their phones, logged into their Horse Girls official website accounts, and checked Hitoko Amber's details.

Upon seeing this, someone immediately shouted, "Don't just praise whichever side has more A's... The most important thing isn't adaptability to grass and mud, which is A and B respectively?"

"what?!"

"It seems so."

This immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

It's important to know that excellent track distance adaptability means that Scarlet Amber has more leeway in its race selection.

There are countless races of all distances in the world. Even if you are only good at long or middle distances, you can almost always run a race every month by signing up for G1 races. You will not have to worry about not having races to participate in throughout your career.

However, if the track is highly adaptable to both grass and dirt tracks, it means that Hisu Kohaku might be able to participate in races that are difficult for Japanese racehorse girls to enter!

"Are you also in a good position for the Arc de Triomphe in Europe, or any other competitions...?"

"Hmm...now that you mention it..."

As one of the new champions of Treson, she has maintained an undefeated record so far. Now she has won the Satsuki Award. In terms of status alone, Hitoko's current record is already illustrious. In addition, she seems to be naturally suited for expeditions.

"This kid might actually be good at running the Arc de Triomphe race!"

"What? I heard the Arc de Triomphe..."

"Huh? Has Hibiscus decided to participate in the Arc de Triomphe Race?"

The competition venue was already incredibly noisy, and people's mouths and ears are the most unreliable things... So, through word of mouth, from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, the original discussions turned into unified cheers and jeers.

"Amber! Amber! Amber!"

"Arc de Triomphe! Arc de Triomphe! Arc de Triomphe!"

In the arena, Scarlet Amber slowly stopped, and the crimson light on her body faded... The girl blinked and returned to her original foolish enchantress form.

"what?"

Two updates combined!

Please please please please

Chapter 301 I'm Going to Stand Up for Myself!

Japan has a long-standing tradition of exaggerating battle results and being blindly optimistic.

Take the current situation for example. Hitoko has only just won the Satsuki Sho tournament, but everyone in the arena is already eager to imagine the future, opening champagne at halftime and so on.

He naively assumed that Amber was about to begin preparing for major European and American competitions like the Arc de Triomphe.

So much so that even in post-match interviews, reporters treated the rumors spread by enthusiastic fans as factual information.

"First of all, congratulations to Ms. Hitoko Amber for winning the Satsuki Prize with your own strength. According to the normal competition procedure, I believe you are also preparing to participate in the Japanese Derby in a few weeks, right?"

"Yes."

Actually, the reporter's question was a bit redundant. Participating in the Satsuki Sho means that she has officially embarked on the journey to the Triple Crown. And if she is the winner of the Satsuki Sho, the door to the Japanese Derby will be unconditionally open for this horse girl. If she doesn't participate, then she is simply an incurable fool.

Of course, the reporters who were able to come to the Satsuki-sho event to cover the event were not fresh graduates; asking Hitokohaku whether she would participate in the upcoming Japanese derby was just a prelude.

The key is to find out what the next steps are for Scarlet Amber.

"Miss Fei Tu, judging from the current opinion polls, it seems that everyone really wants you to make a name for yourself on the racetracks in Europe and America..."

"Hey, you guys do investigations this fast?"

"You can tell just by listening to the cheers from the audience."

The reporter smiled calmly, "Miss Feitu, you must have heard it on the field just now, right? Everyone was calling for a Triumphal Arch champion... Considering your excellent adaptability, Miss Feitu, have you and your trainer considered letting you take your talent to the Triumphal Arch?"

"what?"
