Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

The two chatted about their daily lives on stage while the competition began. The Lady and the Peak had run together many times and knew each other's strengths very well. If either of them held back even slightly, the other would easily notice.

Therefore, the two used their full strength from the very beginning. The noblewoman's proud power was still formidable, even surpassing that of Hitotsu Amber. With each step, she created a huge crater in the lawn...

Scarlet Amber optimistically estimates that the day when noblewomen can mold charcoal into diamonds with their bare hands is not far off.

"Senior Jifeng is so strong... although it seems he hasn't achieved any ranking yet."

Almond-eyed's gaze lingered more on Kyokumine, offering her opinion from a completely uninformed perspective: "I think if Kyokumine-senpai hadn't been so fixated on battling with Lady-senpai, and had instead run other races, she might have become a top-tier horse girl long ago."

“That’s right, Qiangji and I often advise our sister like that too.” Gao Shangjunyi nodded: “Donna may be arrogant and annoying, but she’s really strong. There’s no need to fight her head-on…”

As for the outcome of the persuasion, everyone has seen it now—in formal competitions, Extreme Peak has already suffered two defeats at the hands of the Lady.

It seems like Jifeng is almost addicted to losing.

Looking at the two top racehorse girls in the distance, Almond Eyes said, "However, I think Senior Gyokumine has a big advantage in today's qualifying race. She's at least six horse lengths ahead of Senior Lady!"

Gao Shangjunyi, always pessimistic, said: "It's hard to say."

"Hey, in this situation, if you're leading by a horse's length, you can't lose. How can you lose if you're leading by six horse's lengths? You can win by riding on the opponent's face! Six horse's lengths ahead, riding on their face, tell me how you can lose?"

Almond-eyed praised the elegant lady on the field without reservation, and indeed, the peak consistently maintained a considerable advantage...

Until the lady's aura suddenly changed, an aura of pride and disdain for everything rose from her.

Almond-eyed's words of praise for Kyokumine instantly stuck in her throat. "Kyokumine-senpai... I shouldn't have said you could win. By the way, what is this?!"

"The state of flow... and the use of aura, right?"

Fei Tu Hu Po's tone was hesitant; she was certain the noblewoman had entered a state of flow...

But what puzzled Fei Tu Hu Po the most was—what exactly was this aura and presence that was similar to hers, yet not quite the same?

Chapter 447 The Origin of the Domain

Extreme Peak is indeed very strong, with strength between the first-tier and super first-tier. She has excellent overall attributes and knows many skills, making her a very solid racehorse girl. When she encounters other first-tier racehorse girls, her chances of winning are quite high.

Unfortunately, she encountered a noblewoman today, who not only had excellent attributes and powerful skills, but also a surprisingly delightful mechanic...

With its powerful momentum and aura, the one-sided advantage on the track was instantly reversed, and the extremely fast pace and movements were suddenly stuck in the mud.

Even as a top-tier racehorse girl and one of the best among first-class racehorse girls, Gyokumine was completely overwhelmed by the noblewoman, with no room for resistance whatsoever...

"We lost."

Hitoko Amber sighed softly, but having learned from her earlier experience of misleading Jifeng with almond-shaped eyes and planting a death flag for him, which had turned Jifeng from a 6-horse length lead into a 6-horse length deficit, Hitoko Amber did not explicitly name who won or lost...

After all, she was also worried that Jifeng would shout something like "My sister is still watching me" or "Little Hat is right behind me," and then unleash his inner power to defeat the already incredibly strong noblewoman.

Three minutes later, the lady walked towards everyone, raising her small fist high, her smile proud and arrogant: "Complete victory!"

Jifeng wasn't discouraged at all; in fact, he seemed used to losing, his face calm as he said, "I'll definitely win next time..."

"Sis, please don't do it again next time." Gao Shangjunyi was speechless: "You lost the cherry blossom viewing and then the Tokyo beauty pageant. If you keep losing... when you graduate, people will talk about you as a 'ladies's captive' for the rest of your life."

Jifeng clenched his fist: "As long as I can win just once, all the negative publicity will turn around! Next time, I'll definitely win next time! What kind of child cries every day? What kind of old man loses every day?"

Everyone was speechless at the fact that Jifeng was already in such a predicament, and they started discussing it as they walked out of the venue.

Fei Tu Hu Po, who was most interested in new things like aura and presence, asked impatiently, "By the way, Donna, you can do this too, can't you? If it only happened to me, I could suspect that it was the power of the three goddesses manifesting, or that it was my hallucination... But if you can do this too, Donna, then I think it must be some kind of new ability?"

The lady laughed out loud: "What new ability? Fat rabbit, haven't you heard of a domain?"

"Huh? Domain? Of course I've heard of it." Hibiki Amber ran a few steps forward and stood in front of everyone. She turned around and looked at the noblewoman excitedly: "The Great Shock Senior Meeting, Oguri Hat Senior used it... but after so long, I've only ever heard of it."

Almond-shaped eyes shook her head bluntly: "Never heard of it!"

Facing the crowd, Hitotsu Kohaku put her hands behind her back and hopped back and forth. "I've heard Toto say that the so-called domain is the strong control that a racehorse girl has over her surroundings for a short period of time! If the flow state is the complete control over one's own physical performance, then the domain is to extend this state further outward, and also have a control effect on the outside world and the racehorses around you... It can even weaken the skills used by other racehorses through the domain. In short, it's very unreasonable."

Almond-shaped eyes and ears perked up, afraid of missing any information from the exchange between the two seniors: "Is the effect of a domain really that strong? In our small town, Treson has never encountered anything like this in class. Let alone a domain, the teacher doesn't even talk about flow state."

Gao Shangjun asked curiously, "So what do your teachers usually talk about in class?"

With a regretful expression, she twirled her index fingers back and forth. "When I was in class, the teacher said that in the G3 competition, we should try to avoid mistakes; in the G2 competition, we should try to minimize mistakes; and in the G1 competition, we should focus on the most difficult problems and take whatever prize money we can get, and not worry about it..."

"Hmm? This sounds just like what my high school teacher in China said in class..."

Fei Tu Hu Po made a slight complaint, then her skipping steps became even more cheerful: "According to what Donna said, doesn't that mean I've already completely mastered the domain?"

"That's still a long way off. When the true domain is activated, it's said that it can cause all the racehorse girls around to experience hallucinations to a certain extent, hallucinating scenes completely different from the racetrack, like some kind of gladiatorial arena. I can't do that, and neither can you, Fat Rabbit. With your meager killing intent, you can only make people hallucinate ice cream machines at most..."

Fei Tu Hu Po immediately lost interest: "Eh... and I was so happy about it."

The noblewoman looked at the silly-looking Amber in front of her, and her expression became unbalanced: "You can already be happy just by being able to use your aura, okay? According to my intelligence network, being able to use aura and presence means that this horse girl has taken the first step into the realm of embracing."

“And those racehorses who can actually take this step are one in a thousand.” The noblewoman deliberately emphasized how rare it was to be able to use her aura, but looking at Hitotsu Amber’s back, she then laughed helplessly: “Oh dear, thinking about it, it’s really enviable. You fat rabbit… how come you get all the good things? I went through so much trouble to understand how to use my aura, but you just used it like nothing happened.”

"is it hard?"

The noblewoman sighed deeply and said in a weary tone, "It's tough. You have no idea how much I trained recently... To be honest, I was even prepared to use Miyamoto Musashi's cells to figure out how to use his aura."

"Why revive him?"

"It's said that he was a master of using aura, and even said something like 'Why is the sword so inconvenient?'... If I had learned his techniques, I might have been able to say something like 'Why is running so inconvenient?' But luckily, I'm quick-witted and lucky enough to have successfully figured out how to use aura on my own..."

The noblewoman spoke of her yearning for an aura in a half-joking, half-serious manner. However, given this woman's pursuit of power and her logic of prioritizing strength above all else, if she were truly pushed to the limit, she might actually try to resurrect Miyamoto Musashi or something... As for whether she could successfully resurrect him, that remains to be seen.

"So I'm really curious, Fat Rabbit, how exactly did you grasp the state of flow? How did you understand it so quickly?"

"Eh? Me... it's because of TouTou?" Hitoko Amber twirled her fingertips around the ends of her hair, her ear tips slightly burning. "Probably love or something?"

The first update is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 448 What Love Can Do

"Huh? Love it?" The noblewoman raised her voice dramatically, the pearls on her earrings swaying slightly with her movements, refracting tiny spots of light in the sunlight.

"Ah... don't say it in such a monotone tone." A blush crept across the tip of Hitotsu Amber's nose. "Can we be a little more low-key?"

"Since you've said that, am I not allowed to express my amazement?" The noblewoman's eyes showed a thoughtful look: "But Fat Rabbit, what you said does make some sense."

"How can this make sense?" Amber widened her fox-like eyes, and then continued, "I was prepared to be called love-struck, but Donna, Donna, you're still a virgin, but you've also figured out how to use your aura, right? Doesn't that mean this has nothing to do with feelings?"

The noblewoman clasped her hands together, her knuckles cracking as she approached Scarlet Amber with an unfriendly expression.

Upon seeing the noblewoman's expression and the bulging veins on the violent girl's elbows, Hitotsu Amber immediately hopped back with small steps, her skirt swaying in the sunlight, transforming her into a light and graceful butterfly. "Donna, don't engage in school violence! Although the disciplinary committee's horse lady isn't on duty during summer vacation, everyone still has to voluntarily follow the rules!"

"Huh? I didn't bully anyone at school~" The wealthy woman smiled insincerely, still trying to get closer to Fei Tu Hu Po, "I just wanted to get intimate with you. There are no better sisters like us in this world."

Amber nimbly circled the roadside bench, petals clinging to the ends of her hair. "I don't believe it."

The wealthy woman stomped her feet in anger: "You fat rabbit, let me tell you, what do you mean I'm still an old maid... Whether it's age or education, I'm still a virgin! It's mainly because you fat rabbit are too wanton. It hasn't been that long and you're already a married woman and a young woman..."

Her almond-shaped face instantly turned red. The rich lady's explicit descriptions and words were still too stimulating for this innocent little pony who had just risen from the countryside of Hokkaido. "Senior Amber... not only is she so much ahead of me in terms of attributes, but she's also so much ahead in terms of life milestones?"

Anyway, Fei Tu Hu Po had already made the deed done, so she was much calmer about many things: "We've been together for almost a year now, okay? According to Tou Tou's mom, this is what you call a natural progression, a mutual attraction!"

"So that's how you grasped the use of aura." The lady took out her phone, opened a document on it, and slowly began to read aloud: "Aura, flow state, these are all manifestations of the emotions of the racehorse girls... After all, racehorse girls are idealistic beings."

In the evaluation of racehorse girls' racing attributes, in addition to basic attributes such as track adaptability, trainers' mandatory course also includes assessing the girls' mood and competitive state, which are generally categorized broadly as good or bad:

Excellent tuning, good tuning, ordinary, no tuning, absolutely no tuning.

Even adults are inevitably affected by their mood when they are at work. When they are in a bad mood, they are more likely to make mistakes, have low work efficiency, or even hide in the bathroom to play on their phones for an hour, like when they are constipated.

And the young female horse riders are even more like this; when they're in a bad mood, they have absolutely no fighting spirit. The most typical example is the Golden Ship—when it's in a good mood, it wins easily, but when it's in a bad mood, it's too lazy to even leave the gate...

Of course, most female racehorses aren't that extreme; they'll still give it their all in races, but their mood can still affect their performance, leading to some dips in form...

According to statistics from professional journals, the overall attributes of a well-tuned racehorse girl are about 30% higher than those of a racehorse girl that is not tuned.

Under such immense pressure, learning to help racehorse girls regulate their emotions is a must for every trainer. For racehorse girls with less experience, an encouraging and comforting hug, or a giant ice cream tower outside of their diet plan, can be a powerful tool to turn their mood from gloomy to sunny.

However, as the races progress and the horse girls gain more experience, a hug from the trainer or an ice cream might not necessarily improve their mood...

At this point, more radical measures are often needed to satisfy the racehorse girl. If a trainer's hug isn't enough, then a hug from her family is necessary.

If a hug from family members isn't enough to boost the morale of a racehorse girl, then a kiss from her lover might be a good alternative.

Trainers who have a close relationship with racehorses inevitably reach the stage of 'feeding the horses with their own bodies' over a long period of time.

By regulating hormone secretion and clearing breast nodules, racehorse girls can often be brought to their peak condition.

This method is very effective in regulating both the mental and physical state of racehorse girls, achieving two goals at once. The only drawback is that it might be a bit too demanding on trainers...

This is why the trainers of top female racehorses often appear extremely weak and on the verge of sudden death when they are seen in public.

On the one hand, designing training and competition plans for the top racehorse girls under their command is incredibly stressful and mentally exhausting. On the other hand, they also have to help the racehorse girls improve their hormone levels, which is exhausting and mentally and physically demanding... It's a miracle they're even alive.

"And the love you're talking about, Fat Rabbit, is actually a manifestation of a state of mind..."

The noblewoman stroked her chin, analyzing the information on her phone and then combining it with the situation of Fei Tu Hu Po: "According to the analysis in the information, the flow state is something that may be awakened when you have the mental awareness to give it your all, allowing you to be more focused and the strong to become stronger."

"As for momentum and aura, they are more likely to be a more open-minded state of mind that you gain after you have calmly faced your greatest weakness and greatest fear."

The biggest weakness and inner demon of the Scarlet Amber is undoubtedly the word "love".

The second update is here!

Theoretically, there should be a third super bonus chapter.

But they might also be tasked with protecting Super Shanghai, so they're even less likely to come out...

Chapter 449: Fighting Spirit and Patience, and Even More Amazing Skills

"Weaknesses and inner demons? Even Senior Hitoshi has them?"

Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, her face filled with disbelief.

"Of course it does. It's not some ultimate life form. As long as it's a sentient being, it will have its own most vulnerable point."

Gao Shangjunyi sighed softly, looking like he knew the ways of the world. "Take me for example. For me, the biggest nightmare is other people... And for Amber, it's probably loneliness and not having family, right?"

Almond-eyed was quick-witted. After slightly pursing her lips and pondering the meaning behind Gao Shangjunyi's words, she immediately understood the sad story hidden in his few words...

"Senior Gao Shang, is it appropriate to say such a thing?"

"it's okay no problem."

To Xingmu's surprise, Fei Tu Hu Po waved her hand with a smile, as if nothing had happened. "I don't know if what Donna said is right or wrong... but she is right about facing her inner demons."

Fei Tu Hu Po smiled calmly and happily: "I used to envy other people my age who had family and parents... When I dreamed at night, I would think how wonderful it would be to have some family."

Almond-eyed didn't know what kind of expression she should wear, so she lowered her head and gently kicked at the weeds at her feet.

"I never imagined that what seemed like a non-issue to me would be so terrifying to Senior Hito."

“But now, there’s no problem!” Fei Tu Hu Po opened her arms as if embracing the whole world, with a satisfied smile on her face: “Lover, lover is also family. Just a few nights ago, I completely understood this… It was at that moment that I felt there was nothing to be afraid of in this world, and this world is not as cruel as I imagined.”

Seeing the blissful expression on Hitotsu Amber's face, Jifeng smiled with a mixture of relief and helplessness: "So, even though her aura and presence are so strong... no teacher has been able to teach her yet. The main reason is that the gap between people is just too big."

The noblewoman didn't care about Hitoko's inner demons and weaknesses. In fact, even if the noblewoman taught Hitoko all the methods for overcoming her own weaknesses, Hitoko wouldn't be able to use them...

Just like this time, according to Hitotsu Amber, she suddenly had an epiphany in the moment when she was deeply in love with Kotobuki and completely gave herself to Kotobuki... She regained her belief in love at the deepest part of her instincts and realized that she had family at this moment, which made her state of mind take another step forward.

Now, everyone knows about Hitotsu Amber's method, but that's all they know...

Even if everyone were to directly grab the trainer now and take him to a hotel to do the same thing as Hitotomi Kohaku, at most everyone would just be happy and comfortable for a while. Although it could bring temporary pleasure, they certainly wouldn't understand how to use aura and presence.

For Hitoko Amber, the same event was a profound change that altered her worldview and values. This is probably why, to date, the experience of a racehorse girl who has mastered her domain and aura is irreplaceable and cannot be learned from.

The noblewoman briefly recalled the hardships that Fei Tu Hu Po had gone through, and then felt relieved: "Sigh, although I am a little envious and jealous of how quickly you, Fat Rabbit, have grasped the aura and imposing presence, if someone were to say that they could transfer what you have experienced onto me, I certainly wouldn't accept it... I can only say that you deserve this reward after all the hardship."

Gao Shangjunyi raised his head slightly, his gaze shifting to behind Fei Tu Hu Po, before quickly lowering his head again and asking, "Hey, Hu Po, I have another little question, the one we didn't finish discussing this morning—since your feelings are so profound, your exchange with Kotobuki trainer back then... must have been very close and in-depth, right?"

"Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking about this again?" After running around for so long, Fei Tu Hu Po had already reorganized her thoughts and words.

If you were to apply what Qin Chuitou did to others without any changes, you would definitely find numerous flaws, and a little thought would reveal the inconsistencies...

But if you actually use your brain to think about it, or even put yourself in their shoes, you might just get completely overwhelmed. At best, you'll feel numb all over and be unable to stand, while at worst, you'll be like an overripe tomato, oozing water, and then everyone will laugh at you to death.
