Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

If someone is there to back you up, you can focus on scientific research with peace of mind.

So, Hibiki Amber stomped her left foot heavily on the ground with the spirit of crushing the earth, and without saying a word, she charged forward, launching a charge-style attack. Anyway, she didn't know many skills, so she just ran!

300 meters!

400 meters!

500 meters!

Almost instantly, Hitoko Amber had already covered one-fifth of the track, making her a very fast racehorse in the eyes of the racehorse girls. Even Takasho Junichi, who was the lead racehorse girl, almost couldn't keep up with Hitoko Amber's pace.

Without a doubt, if Hitokohaku continues running like this, even the most outstanding racehorse girls present might not be able to catch up with her...

The team's role came into play instantly. Several racehorse girls who had learned restraint techniques activated their restraint skills in an instant, and a crimson light began to float around Hitoko's feet...

The moment they touched the body of the Scarlet Amber, the light instantly became even brighter.

The passive skill 【Strong Spirit】was instantly activated... When I use restraining skills on other racehorse girls, the effect will be enhanced, but when other racehorse girls restrain me, the impact on me will also be enhanced.

A true double-edged sword skill...

"Gu..."

Fei Tu Hu Po let out a soft groan, feeling uncomfortable all over her body. Her vision went black, and she felt as if she couldn't even see where she was going...

"Amber, are you alright? Are you still alive?"

As Fei Tu Hu Po made a series of mistakes, Gao Shang Jun Yi's worried voice also came from the other side...

"It's okay, I still have enough energy."

It's just lucky that I'm a bit more skilled and my attributes are barely passable... otherwise I would have really lost my strength and speed.

After regaining her composure, Hitoko Amber nodded slightly and continued charging forward, instantly eliciting gasps from the other racehorse girls behind her.

At this moment, the racehorse girls from the other teams were quite united.

"Hey? How can it keep running forward like that?"

"Wow...that's amazing. Are all the racehorse girls from Central Station monsters...? What? I'm a racehorse girl from Central Station too?"

The sounds of other racehorse girls gradually faded into the distance until only the footsteps of the noblewoman and the elegant Junyi remained, indicating that the outcome was already secured!

First knockout match! We won!

They even achieved a team-wide sweep of the top three spots.

However, because she became the first to stand out on the field, she was targeted by everyone and suffered too many restraining skills. In the final straight line, she was caught up by the noblewoman who had been conserving her energy, and unfortunately lost by a head.

However, in team competitions, winning means everyone has contributed... Even with a 0-11-0 record, you can still gain points by winning!

Back in the gloomy basement, before Hitotsuko could even celebrate, she was caught red-handed by Kotobuki and instantly refined.

"What kind of escape strategy is this? How many times have I told you not to just run away right away! You've been using the same speed the whole time, getting hit by skills. Are you some kind of taunt monster? You're implying to the other teams' horse girls right from the start, 'You must attack the minion with taunt.'"

"Hey hey hey... It's my first time, so I didn't have any reference points. I got a little excited while running... Research always involves small mistakes. I'll try again next time! I'm going to keep running!"

Chapter 161 Overcoming Five Barriers and Slaying Six Generals (Bounty 15)

The following days were filled with elimination rounds, featuring all sorts of opponents and teams. There were even teams with sponsors, like Team Lgm, which seemed to be sponsored by some Chinese chili sauce manufacturer. Their team logo featured a kind, slightly plump woman, which was still a bit unsettling...

However, it's said that the sponsorship fee is extremely high.

Among all the different teams, the strongest team that everyone encountered was Team Canopus.

The leader of the old man's star was a handsome young man named Nanzaka with a quiet and gentle appearance. His temperament was somewhat similar to Kotobuki Toru's. Perhaps because of this, the two trainers showed some embarrassment and restraint when they met.

However, according to Kotobuki Toru, Minamisaka is a trainer who truly loves the horse racing industry. He didn't come to Central Traverse for the salary and bonuses at all, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Even if Kotobuki doesn't say it, everyone can see it when they're analyzing their opponents in the basement.

The horse girls in the Old Man Star team are different from the ordinary teams with all sorts of flowers and plants. The horse girls in the Old Man Star team are all super popular top-tier horse girls. When you search their names on a search engine, the top result is the encyclopedia entry for these horse girls.

The most eye-catching one is Machigane Shigeki, a cute and silly horse girl who has gained hundreds of millions of fans in China, where horse racing culture is not popular. She is famous for her catchphrase "Mambo Mambo". Although she doesn't seem to have many outstanding achievements, in terms of the number of fans worldwide, her popularity is still at the top level, and her fame is higher than most legendary horse girls... After all, the fan base in China is there.

Then there are her excellent qualities: she is passionate, beautiful, and has a youthful charm. It is said that with her youthful charm and tenacious character, she has gained a considerable number of fans despite her mediocre achievements.

Finally, there's Wan Lai Zheng Ming, the stunning beauty who enrolled at the same time as Hito Kohaku. She has a very dangerous side ponytail, and just looking at her gives off a feeling of unfathomable charm. She's completely different from the pure idiot Machigane Shigeki and the hot-blooded idiot with excellent qualities... It's hard to imagine how this intellectual racehorse girl could team up with two idiots.

Of course, the same goes for Xuanyuan XIV's team, which consists of two players with an average intelligence of D- who were paired with a player with an intelligence of E-.

When forming a team, there always needs to be a skilled eagle, a fierce tiger, and a bucket for carrying food.

During the race against the old star, Hitoko lived up to her promise to reflect on herself and keep up the good work, and once again chose the escape horse running method. This time, Hitoko's escape horse running method was slightly better than last time.

Whether it was because Fei Tu Hu Po had truly realized something, or because the bad woman genes flowing in her blood were causing trouble, she had a certain elusive quality when she was leading the way. She would slow down from time to time and then secretly speed up, giving the impression of a peerless courtesan who was alluring but untouchable... It made the audience's blood boil and their hearts race.

However, this can be considered as a basic human form, resembling what a runaway horse racer should look like.

Although Hitoko has improved again, the opponents she faces have indeed become much stronger...

This team, with overall strength above average, truly demonstrated to Hitotsu Amber and the others what teamwork should mean.

Especially the racehorse girl in the team named "Excellent Quality," whose name alone suggests high quality, and who greets everyone kindly and cutely when entering the gate, but whose heart is truly black to the extreme... her running style and skills are utterly devoid of any quality whatsoever!

According to Kotobuki Toru, an excellent and well-rounded racehorse girl needs to have movement (acceleration or lane change), health recovery (stamina recovery), and control (control skills). She needs to be good at a little bit of everything so that she can adapt to any situation on the racetrack.

But her excellent qualities are completely different... She learned prerequisite skills from top to bottom, and the tactics she chose were just like what Kotobuki Toru said before. She decided from the beginning to give up competing for the ranking and focus on playing support. In the early stage, she was one person spraying three enemies at once.

Seeing this, the other racehorse girls immediately unleashed their restraining skills on the two most threatening racehorse girls, Hitoko and Noblewoman.

The barrage of control skills never stopped, and beams of red light flashed one after another on the two new champions, Amber and the noblewoman, alternating between bright and dim, shining like the red light bulbs that are only hung up during the Chinese New Year...

Even Gao Shangjunyi, one of his teammates, was stunned. While running, he immediately started complaining about Fei Tu Hu Po and the noblewoman: "Then let me ask you, why are you all covered in red?"

The poem drama alone kept the two horse girls in a bind, and if the horse girls in the old man's team had been replaced with other high-level horse girls, they might have won this round.

But the horse girl in the old man's team is obviously not a normal person either... On the 2400-meter track, after running only 1200 meters, Mambo, who was about to perform a poetry drama, made herself bleed from the nose.

The racehorse girl in the medical room on the sidelines was almost scared to death. She grabbed her medical kit and ran to the sidelines, telling the horseman to stop and slowly walk over to the sidelines for treatment.

Wanlaizhengming was a rather excellent racehorse girl. She didn't have any nosebleeds, swerve, or make any other mistakes. When she ran, she was like a perfect musician. Every step she took was like playing a piece of music on a score, perfectly coordinated and incredibly steady.

But just when the racehorses on the field thought that Wan Lai Zheng Ming was going to win the race, Gao Shang Jun Yi, who had always had a very low profile, suddenly became the dream third member of the team.

After a long and focused race, Gao Shangjunyi, with his head held high, charged forward as he crossed the finish line, shouting, "Even though it's a three-person movie, I still have to leave my mark!" He ultimately overtook Wan Laizhengming by a very narrow margin just a few meters before the finish line, securing another victory.

During the post-match review, Fei Tu Hu Po couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Gao Shang Jun Yi's somewhat dashing figure.

"Wow, Little Cap is really strong..."

"Although I hate to admit it, the three sisters are all very impressive racehorse girls."

"This match was won by pushing forward... I felt the pressure suddenly increase, and the opponents are getting stronger and stronger."

"Of course, this knockout stage eliminates half the teams in each round, so it would be strange if it wasn't intense."

Kotobuki Toru placed a stack of documents on the table. "Don't be scared off here. The next match features Nishizaki Ryu's team Spica and Satomi's team Capella. The racehorses in these teams are no pushovers... We need to get serious and make the most of this opportunity. It will greatly improve your performance."

Chapter 162 Capricorn Finals, Opening Ceremony

Ryu Nishizaki is an excellent trainer with a very good reputation among the trainers in Treson, but conversely, he has a very bad reputation among Uma Musume Girls.

The number of racehorse girls who have been secretly betrayed and groped by Nishizaki Ryu could almost form a platoon... There are even rumors circulating on the racehorse girls' forum that Nishizaki Ryu has connections with the underworld and that his favorite thing to do is to secretly kidnap innocent foals, brainwash and train them, and then force them to join the team.

Of course, the horse racing girls all knew that this was unlikely to happen... It's just that these teenage girls' favorite thing to do is to make up and tell stories to make their school life more exciting. If they have a story, they write it; if they don't have a story, they create one!

You can find all sorts of popular posts by logging into the horse racing forums on social media platforms.

[The star of a singing family, racehorse girl, Kita Genko, has officially joined Team Spica, adding fresh blood to this veteran powerhouse. However, according to a random horse girl's account, Kita Genko was actually taken away in a sack...]

[Excellent quality running like poop – Team Canopus members' post-race commentary on the outstanding quality displayed on the track.]

[The "Basement Heiress Team," Team Regulus, has achieved a winning streak. According to completely unreliable sources, deep within the basement lie various skill manuals and secret techniques left behind by the upperclassmen.]

According to some trainers and team leaders, the intensity of the team competitions at the beginning of this year was still relatively low, with most participants being newly joined racehorse girls...

While Qin Chui went to the restroom, the three racehorse girls stayed in the team activity room scrolling through their phones. As always, the noblewoman and the elegant Junyi's iPhones were delicate; they would freeze and go into cryogenic protection mode if the temperature dropped even slightly, and they wouldn't turn on.

However, the Chinese-made phone of Fei Tu Amber remained stubbornly hot, so everyone could only huddle together and watch it longingly, like elementary school students fighting over the phone and each taking a turn.

"Come to think of it... I haven't seen any particularly formidable seniors."

The lady thought about the opponents she had encountered in the previous team competitions. There were quite a few famous teams. Before the competition, everyone thought that these were strong teams with seeded status. But when they entered the field, everyone found that they were all newcomers who had just joined the team.

While this prevents everyone from being easily defeated by more experienced and stronger players, it also diminishes the sense of challenge that comes with encountering top-tier players.

"I know this!"

Hitoko Amber usually participates in various activities of the Service Club, interacts with the horse girls from various clubs, and has some knowledge of the various rumors inside the school.

"It seems that in order to determine the seating order and publicity order of the three main student union organizations this year, the senior students who enrolled earlier have all gone to participate in the one-on-one ranking competition, including Senior Xiaoxi... It seems that the ranking competition is now a battle of gods."

As she spoke, Fei Tu Hu Po continued scrolling down the forum's post page.

[In today's ranked match, I ran into Oguri Hat. She's as strong as a monster; I couldn't beat her even with all my might. Oh dear, can you let me go back to team matches?!]

After a week of ranked matches, my score has dropped from 100 to 0, officially making me a score generator in ranked matches. Those who encounter me are lucky. Please be aware.

[Currently, the Great Shock's Disciplinary Committee is still in control... What if the Great Shock becomes the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee in the future? Will we face a great purge or something? Going to Hokkaido to grow potatoes or something... No way!]

It's clear that the senior students in the rankings aren't having an easy time either...

Hitotsu Amber scrolled through the posts, a slight smile playing on her lips as she listened to the horse racing girls' amusing comments.

“Ranked matches seem fun too, and team matches are also enjoyable to run. I want to run all of them, but I don’t want to run G2-level matches anymore... They’re too stressful and not fun enough.”

"You've played the standard recreational mode too much, and now you don't want to play the regular mode anymore..."

Just then, Kotobuki Toru pushed open the door and walked in, just in time to hear Hiruko's words. She casually corrected Hiruko's misconception, "Actually, horse racing is your profession~"

"I know, I know."

"But you don't need to worry about G2 level races. In January and February, while other female racehorses may be fattening up in the east, you guys have been busy. After so many team races, G2 level races will be a piece of cake."

Kotobuki Toru smiled confidently: "Although the race isn't as formal as a competition, the racehorses you're competing against are all Central-level horses. Many of them are G2 champions, or even G1-level. If you can beat them, why are you afraid of not being able to beat G2-level races? Especially the middle-distance finals you'll be facing next, with racehorses like Kita Genko and Satomi Hikari, you might not even see such a complete lineup even on a G1 track..."

That's why they say the environment is the best teacher.

In Central Tressen, as long as the racehorse girls don't just read romance novels or fall in love, as long as they train and race with other racehorse girls, even if they aren't naturally gifted, they can still improve significantly through gradual exposure.

This situation is similar to esports: even the worst player, if they play ARAM (All Random All Mid) with professional players for a year, will eventually reach a Diamond level.

"Hey, that makes sense. So, can I start preparing for the final server now? Can I start looking for sponsors?"

Fei Tu Hu Po's eyes sparkled, her thoughts already drifting to the day she would put on her final outfit several months from now.

"Let's finish the race in front of us first. Whether we can change activity rooms or break free from this cage depends on this!"

Kotobuki Toru raised his fist high, "Do you guys have any confidence?!"

"Have!"

At the end of January, at a time when it was no longer Capricorn's time, the last Capricorn competition officially began.

The commentator is still Dali Arab, one of the three goddess AIs... Among the three goddess AIs, who are all very "personalized", only Dali Arab, with his love of watching the fun and excitement, would have the time to commentate on a match that is similar to an entertainment game.

[Many female horse racing teams have gathered here today.]

Chapter 163 Northern Black Steed: Is it you who made Little Diamond so worried?

Team Spica, a veteran powerhouse with generations of excellent racehorse girls, is still going strong this year. Today's participants include Kita Genko, Ogonsen, and a powerful racer... It must be said, while trainer Nishizaki Ryu's tactics of recruiting riders are questionable, they still managed to assemble their fighting force very quickly!

Team Capella is a family-blooded team primarily composed of racehorse girls from the Satomi family. Their trainers are also professional trainers from the Satomi family, possessing extensive experience in training racehorse girls. Today's competitors are Satomi Hikari, Satomi Crown, and Nash Thunder!

Hitotsu Amber, waiting in the waiting room, tugged at the noblewoman's sleeve. "Wasn't Capella supposed to be the Satomi family's team? Why is Roaring Thunder also involved? Aren't nobles usually very exclusive?"

The noblewoman was well aware of the complex relationships between nobles and explained in a low voice, "Thunderous Roar is also a noble, isn't he? Just a low-key one... It seems that she was assigned to be roommates with Satomi Crown this time, so Satomi Crown casually pulled her into the team... They can train together and at the same time, it can also bring the two families closer. After all, in the world of nobles, being able to build relationships is more important than business cooperation."

"It's too long... I can't understand it very well."

"Sigh, if you don't understand, just drink some water!"
