Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

Good morning, trainer!

Rong Jin Shan Yao shyly buried his face in the blanket, and Sui Yuan hugged him tightly.

"Thank you for your hard work yesterday."

Rong Jin snuggled against Sui Yuan's chest and said, "It's not hard at all. I'm very happy, super happy."

Rong Jin raised his small face and looked at Sui Yuan.

She was truly happy, a happiness that brought her a satisfaction that surpassed even the joy of learning that her sister could stand up, and even the happiness she felt after becoming a Uma Musume (horse racer).

She reached out and took Suiyuan's hand. "Trainer, please follow my plan from now on and walk happily together."

Of course, the trainer can't abandon me, or I'll be very sad.

Suiyuan grasped Rongjin's shining hand in return. After entrusting everything to her, they would all feel a vague sense of fear, which is a very normal phenomenon.

What I need to do at this time is to give them enough security.

"Leave everything to me. Even if I have to give up myself, I will never give up on you. I can give up many things, but I don't want to let any of you go."

Suiyuan's voice was very firm.

Rong Jin smiled uncontrollably, "Then, trainer, it's a deal."

"Yes, it's a promise. No matter what happens, we'll walk together."

…………

"Phew, it's really cold today."

Feng Jiu rubbed her hands together. Her stupid disciple was really something. He wouldn't answer her calls, and when his master arrived, he didn't even come out to greet her.

Tojo Hana stood behind her, her face also full of helplessness.

"Master, you didn't even tell your junior brother before you came. It's normal that he couldn't answer your call."

After all, his junior brother is now a well-known trainer, and his team has many racehorse girls.

I'm very busy every day.

Hearing Tojo Hana's words, Feng Jiu's face puffed up. "Stupid disciple, I'm your master, he's not your husband. You have to side with me!"

Tojo Hana shook her head helplessly, "Alright, alright, Master, you're right."

Hirasawa Yu, standing behind, couldn't quite maintain her smile. Why was her master so different from the one she remembered?

Logically speaking, shouldn't they be incredibly domineering and super reliable adults?

Who is this person in front of me who looks like a child who will never grow up?

"Wow, aren't you that...so-and-so?!"

The first to discover Feng Jiu and the others were Shuang Zun, who was playing in the snow outside.

Hearing the sound of the twin turbines, several horse racing girls who were playing also looked over in this direction.

Upon realizing she had been discovered, Feng Jiu waved her arms vigorously, exclaiming, "Hello everyone, I've come to see you all!"

…………

Suiyuan poured a cup of tea for the three of them. Although she was a little reluctant, they had all come, and she certainly couldn't stay in bed any longer.

No wonder they say a gentle land is a hero's grave.

It's okay in the summer, but in the winter, it's really hard to get out of a soft, warm bed.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression? It's so rude of you! I'm your most, most, most, most adorable master!"

Feng Jiu pouted.

Suiyuan didn't say anything, he just took out his phone.

The current time is 6:34. Suiyuan still spent some time getting dressed.

Suiyuan sat down opposite the three of them, then rubbed his temples. "It's not that I don't want you to come, Master, but you've come way too early. It's not good to disturb someone's sleep."

Feng Jiu gave an embarrassed smile.

Hirasawa Yu and Tojo Hana, who were behind them, also silently turned their heads away.

What are they supposed to say? Tell Suiyuan that Fengjiu's current "I'm sorry" is just an act; she's the one disturbing your peaceful dreams.

"Hehe, I've come to see you on important business. I wouldn't have come so early if I didn't. Want to hear some inside information from the Horse Racing Girls Association?"

Feng Jiu revealed a mysterious expression.

Suiyuan straightened his body. According to the information he received, his master was indeed a very reliable person.

"Speak, your disciple is all ears!"

Seeing Suiyuan like this, Fengjiu finally showed a satisfied smile. This is more like it!

This is the attitude a disciple should have!

“A new race mode is coming out soon, adding a distance. The horse racing industry hasn’t been this vibrant in a long time, so launching a new mode is definitely the right choice.”

Feng Jiu took a document out of her backpack and handed it to Sui Yuan.

Tojo Hana has already given her this document; Hirasawa Yu has only just become a trainer and won't need it for a while.

Traditional competitions are enough for her to handle.

Suiyuan opened the file and began to read it carefully.

How should I put it...?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but...

"My time has finally come! Hey hey hey!"

412. Two new competitions

Feng Jiu's eyes widened. "Hey Xiao Yuan, isn't it possible you just hold a meeting to discuss something this big?"

Suiyuan looked puzzled. "Master, are you questioning my racehorse girl's intelligence?"

"How can it be."

Suiyuan nodded. "That's not right. Meetings only waste both of our time. Wouldn't it be better if we used that time to have some fun?"

And if they really can't understand it, they'll come to me.

Suiyuan gestured angrily towards the front, "Look, here it comes."

A small head was constantly peering into the room from outside the door.

…………

"Ugh, why are these words moving around? I recognize each individual word, but when they're put together, I can't understand them at all!"

Kita Genko lay painfully on the tatami mat, while Satomi Hikari beside her had already printed out the documents and was carefully examining them.

Northern Black Horse looked at Satomi Hikari with hopeful eyes, "Hikari, um..."

Hikari Satomi slammed the file shut. "Alright, I'm pretty much clear on the new competition modes that will be added next year."

Hikaru Satomi cleared his throat and began to explain carefully.

"Every three years there will be a team ranking tournament, specifically for team competition, lasting for one year, during which all teams must participate in the competition."

If you don't participate in any event, you will be ranked last in all events.

The other rules are similar to some competitions: preliminary rounds, official competition, top 32, top 16, top 8, and champion!

Of course, there will also be revival matches and other events. The schedule will be arranged according to the points accumulated, which will ensure that strong teams are not always matched with weak teams.

The points from the first year will be carried over to the second round three years later. With the points carried over, strong teams will not appear in the matches for newcomers.

This gives novice trainers the opportunity to strive for higher levels.

This is the first added event, Xiao Bei, did you understand?

Northern Black Horse nodded quickly, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that Kita Genko nodded, Satomi Hikari breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he understood, otherwise he would have had to explain it again.

"Then there's the second new distance race that's being introduced. In the future, races between 3200 and 4800 meters will be available for Saima Musume. Uphill sections and curves are currently being planned, and they should be finalized by the beginning of next year."

This is also a very good decision. This competition also gives more racehorse girls a stage to show their skills. Some racehorse girls are not particularly fast at the start, not particularly fast in the middle, and not particularly fast at the end. Their only particularly strong point is their endurance.

It must be really comfortable for these racehorse girls to participate in these kinds of competitions; overall, it's a very good change.

Northern Black Horse stared at the light-up document with shining eyes. She wasn't the kind of racehorse girl who got a headache and had her eyes darting around when she saw a book (Wise Flying Eagle: What do you mean? Tell me what you mean, you sent it!), but the large amount of technical jargon in this document was still giving her a headache.

With a top-notch translator by my side now, it's so comfortable! I finally understood!

…………

It didn't take long before Suiyuan explained it in the group, using very plain language.

Watching Suiyuan's explanation, many of the horse racers who hadn't understood before finally realized that Suiyuan just didn't want to waste everyone's time, and didn't want to become a riddle teller.

"Well, do you understand?"

Suiyuan gently kneaded the little cutie's face in his arms.

At this moment, Dong Shang Biange, who was in Suiyuan's arms, was blushing bright red. "I...I know, you idiot, let me go!"

Her small struggle was completely ignored by Suiyuan.

Suiyuan had a healing smile on his face. He was a cute, tsundere. Narita Daishin was also tsundere before, but after confessing his feelings, his tsundere disappeared, leaving only pride.

So, although the arrogant one has stepped down from the environment, the Dongshang Group has not undergone any changes!

Dong Shang's transformation was viewed very negatively by a group of girls, so she finally gave up and buried her head in Sui Yuan's arms, "Hmph, you stupid trainer, you just want to see me make a fool of myself!"

Sooner or later, I'll use magic to turn that stupid trainer into a stupid dog!

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for that day~"

Feng Jiu looked at the couple with teary eyes, wondering why she had never experienced either of them. Her own horse-riding mother had never been so clingy to her, and her own disciple had never shown her such a doting expression.

It's confirmed, I'm definitely the most miserable master in the world!

Suiyuan sighed helplessly. He really had no way to deal with his master.

“Come here, Master.”

"Coming!"

Feng Jiu lunged forward and landed in Sui Yuan's arms. Despite being a hundred-year-old woman... cough cough, an eighteen-year-old beauty, she made such a girlish move without any sense of incongruity.

Suiyuan gently stroked Fengjiu's hair. Fengjiu made a face at Dongshang Biange, who was also in Suiyuan's arms, which made Dongshang Biange's little face puff up in anger.

Hirasawa Yu looked at her senior sister with some confusion. Master... this is too intimate with senior brother!

But when Hirasawa Yu looked at her reliable senior sister (Ma Li's), what was shining in her senior sister's eyes... was it envy?

what?

Is this really normal?

Aren't they the ones who are abnormal? Or am I the one?

Neither Suiyuan nor Fengjiu knew that their small action had plunged this genius girl into deep self-doubt.

Suiyuan took out his phone and sent a message.

After the New Year, let's all go back to Japan for intensive training to prepare for next year's team competition and ultra-long-distance races.

………many…

"Sister, let's go to the US to participate in the aurora test!"

"Let's forget about it. We don't have enough assets left to support our reckless behavior. Let's enroll in Treson Academy first, and then go after we win a few games."

"As expected of you, sis! Fine, I'll do as you say!"

413. We've been discovered?

Suiyuan exhaled a breath, and the white mist quickly dissipated into the air. It had been snowing since yesterday and was still snowing now.

The snow had already piled up into a thick layer, so there was no need to worry about clearing it. With Aurora Racer Girl's stamina, the snow in front of the activity room could be cleared in less than ten minutes.

There's even less to worry about on the training field; snow training is also a type of training... Wait, it's already the New Year, so let's not keep thinking about training.

"Trainer, come and play!"
