Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

How did I end up running into a team of hundreds of thousands of people? This is just too outrageous!

The opponent of this Aurora event is incredibly strong.

Currently ranked 24th in the world, Caesar Eagle and ranked 3rd in the world, Meltdown.

471. The roster for the second match, and Ulala's thoughts.

"Trainer, are you selecting the racehorse girl for the second race?"

Representative Qianming sat next to Suiyuan and asked with some curiosity.

Suiyuan nodded. "Yes, this time we're facing our old rivals again, so it's better to be cautious. I already have some preliminary candidates in mind."

Suiyuan produced a list.

Qianming took the list and was immediately stunned.

First on the list is Oguri Hat. Having joined Aurora early on, she is undoubtedly the horse girl standing at the top of the Aurora pyramid, trusted by Suiyuan.

The second is the Noble Clan. Although the Noble Clan was very powerful before, they could only stay in the early T1 tier in Aurora. However, after they ate something at the Neon Training Ground, their strength expanded rapidly, and they have now successfully entered the T0 tier.

The third is "497" Gold Ship. Gold Ship is the only racehorse girl whose loss rate remains very stable after joining Aurora. She is also the only racehorse girl that makes casual players afraid to bet on Aurora.

You don't know how she's feeling. If she's serious, she can go for seventeen in a row. If she's in a bad mood... well, it's better not to say anything if she's in a bad mood.

Fourth place, Maru Zenki, hmm... hmm?

Chiaki carefully examined the fourth racehorse girl. It was indeed Maruzensky, but... Maruzensky?

Suiyuan rested his chin on his hand and said, "Don't be so surprised. There's a reason she's playing. She told me before that she wanted to play, and this match is perfect for her."

Chiaki, the representative, looked utterly helpless. "Honestly, we're just a bunch of racehorse girls past our prime. We're all old and frail. What are we doing joining in? We'd just be making a fool of ourselves in front of the other teams."

Suiyuan glanced at Qianming, who still had one year of peak competition experience left, and five years of competition experience.

Old age and declining health, hmm... that's right.

Saying the most cowardly things while beating the strongest racehorse girl, is that it?

Representative Chiaki felt extremely uncomfortable under Suiyuan's strange expression. "Hey trainer, why are you looking at me like that...?"

Suiyuan turned his head away. "It's nothing. If you want to participate in the competition, just come and tell me."

Representative Qianming did not refuse; she chuckled.

"Okay, trainer, I understand."

It's impossible not to think about participating in the competition. Now, by participating in team competitions, not only can I compete, but I also don't have to go to class. It's just too awesome!

Qianming then looked at the next candidates, Harvest Moment... Well, the previous ones were already so strong, it's normal for Harvest Moment to take the stage now.

There's one last spot left, and that spot has also been given to... Ulala?

what?

what?

Qianming, the representative, doubted his own eyes again and took another look at the schedule.

2600 meters, grassland... huh?

Neither the grass nor the distance is very suitable for Ulala, so how is Ulala going to run?

"Trainer, isn't this last option a bit inappropriate?"

Qianming said very seriously that she was very puzzled by Suiyuan's choice.

Ulala hasn't participated in any competitions for a while now; every time I see her, she's doing acclimatization training.

If it were the old Suiyuan, he would definitely say that this is meaningless training, wasting a lot of time on training with little benefit.

This was completely unnecessary, and Suiyuan didn't seem surprised by Chiaki's reaction.

"This is Ulala's dream. Before, Ulala just wanted to run the race happily, and she would be very happy if she won."

When this dream… no, it should be called a goal, when that goal was achieved, Urara also had a real dream of her own: she wanted to become a Triple Crown racehorse girl.

Chiaki looked at the list in her hand again. The Triple Crown... This is not an easy thing for Aurora's racehorse girls, but it is not a particularly difficult thing either.

However, this was far too difficult for Ulala.

The word "suitability" is like a mountain, pressing down on the mud-track racehorse girl.

Grass courts are the mainstream of the competition, which also determines one thing.

There are virtually no mud track races in the Triple Crown tournament.

Moreover, the shortest distance is miles. As for the Ulala, miles is manageable, medium distances are a bit difficult, and long distances are as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Three classic titles, three grass-court races, two middle-distance races, one long-distance race...

Triple Crown for mares, three turf races, one mile race, and two middle-distance races.

Three spring championships, three grass court tournaments, two Chinese and one Chinese.

Three autumn championships, three grass court tournaments, two middle-field and one long-distance race.

As if by fate, Ulala chose to challenge the Autumn Triple Crown. Putting aside the biggest challenge, Arima Kinen, the two previous G1 mid-range races alone were enough to give Ulala a hard time.

The distance and footwork are mismatched; Qianming really doesn't know how Ulala can win.

"Have you come up with any ideas?"

Suiyuan nodded. "We already have it. What we need now is a long period of training. Haven't you noticed that Ulala hasn't had a match in a long time?"

Qianming nodded. "Of course, as a teaching assistant, how could I not discover something like this?"

Suiyuan supported his face with his hand, "Ulala's distance and grass suitability have improved a lot, but it's not enough. It's far from enough to win the championship."

Suiyuan also glanced at Qiu Sanguan, "Ulala's current base stats make it easy for her to challenge for the three crowns, but her aptitude is lacking. She has basically never actually run a grass race. This race will give her a chance to see and try it out, which will benefit her."

Chiaki was about to say that it wouldn't matter if they lost the match, but then she realized that this lineup was basically unbeatable, and given Toshiyuki's personality, if they could really help Uma Musume grow, then losing a match wouldn't be a big deal.

"As expected, trainer, you have your own considerations. 3.2 But I have another question."

Suiyuan looked at his list and saw no problems. "Tell me," he said, "even the wisest can make a mistake, and I'm not a wise man."

Suiyuan sat up straight.

Qianming said very seriously, "There are only five racehorse girls in Aurora who are rated as T0. You've suddenly made it into five places. You really don't want your opponents to have a good race experience."

Suiyuan shook his head helplessly, "I thought you had actually discovered something wrong."

Chiaki pouted, clearly dissatisfied. "That's not a problem at all!"

While Suiyuan deepened his relationship with Representative Qianming, he also uploaded this list.

As for how much of a stir this list might cause, that's none of his business.

472. Ulala doesn't want to rest.

"Is it Ulala? Are you sure it's Ulala?"

Caster looked at his phone; he was on the phone with an official, trying to determine if it was an official error or if Suibuchi had accidentally filled in the wrong name for Uma Musume.

The staff on the other end were already drenched in sweat, because since the list was released, many trainers or fans had called. It was safe to say that as soon as this call ended, more calls would come in.

This list alone gave many staff members of the Horse Racing Girls Association a taste of what true intensity is.

"We have confirmed with trainer Suiyuan that there was no mistake on the list of racehorses. Urara will compete in the second race in five days."

The staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Castor hung up the phone.

At that moment, a Ulala match was playing on his computer. After learning the news, he went to watch the Ulala match again.

He thought he had misremembered. In his memory, Ulala was supposed to be a close-range mud racer, and neither of these attributes seemed to fit this race.

Sending his own racehorse girl into a race in which 04 had absolutely no chance of winning is really not like Toshibuchi's style.

"Has the trainer been selected?"

True God's Glory and several other racehorse girls appeared behind Caster.

"It's confirmed, Ulala will indeed be playing in the match."

Zhou Sheng frowned slightly. "Then, trainer, should we let our teammates from the second team play?"

Caster shook his head decisively, "Rongguang, don't joke around. What do you mean by letting the second team's racehorse girl compete?"

Caster watched Ulala, who had crossed the finish line with a big smile on her face.

"In team competitions, there is a one-month cooldown period after each appearance. This is an opportunity that many teams see. It's impossible for all members of your team to be that strong. If we field our second team in this match, do you know what that means?"

The Glory of the True God shook his head.

"This proves that we have given in, that we are ashamed of ourselves, that we are afraid, and that is terrible."

Caster's tone was serious. "We can lose the game, but we absolutely cannot lose our dignity. You've met Trainer Suiyuan, haven't you?"

The Glory of the True God nodded.

"He is a very pure trainer. Winning or losing, which I care about, means nothing to him. He only cares about the racehorses of his own team."

I know him. He carries the dream of his team's racehorse girls in his heart. What he did must be related to this Ulala racehorse girl's dream. He's already issued a challenge. Do you think I'd back down?

Caster stroked his gray beard. "Rongguang, get ready. You're going to play in the next match."

A smile appeared on the face of the true God's glory, "My choice was not wrong. May the glory of the Lord protect you."

After the glory of the true god departed, Castor sat back down in his seat. "The Lord cannot protect me; only I can protect myself."

Let's prepare new plans.

He wasn't the only one working so hard; Suiyuan did too.

Trainers who have made it this far are all alike; they have their own bottom line and dignity, and they always believe in themselves.

…………

"Hulala, keep it up, keep your running posture, you can slow down a little here."

Suiyuan quickly issued instructions, while Wulala gasped for breath. Even with this level of training, it was still very difficult for her.

It wouldn't be difficult on muddy ground, but this is grassland.

What used to be a simple training session has become incredibly difficult for Ulala, who has been training on the grass for almost half a year.

Grassland suitability and distance suitability have both improved significantly, but... it's still not enough.

Not only is the aptitude insufficient, but the experience is also lacking.

In this state, Ulala's desire to challenge for a triple crown is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Ulala's time limit for this challenge is running out. They must challenge for the triple crown before the year after next, otherwise Ulala will reach the age where they cannot challenge for the triple crown.

"Okay, let's take a break."

Suiyuan stood up and then took a towel to wipe away Wulala's sweat.

Ulala looked at Suiyuan expectantly, "Hey, trainer, have I improved at all!"

Suiyuan nodded. "That's right, Ulala is improving every day. You're really working hard."

Hearing Suiyuan's praise, Ulala grinned foolishly, "Hehe, I don't think that's enough! Tomorrow, Ulala will definitely train even harder!"

As she spoke, Ulala raised her little fist with great enthusiasm.

Time flies, I play!

"it hurts!"

Ulala looked at Suiyuan pitifully, "Trainer, why did you flick Ulala's head?"

Suiyuan remained expressionless. "Still working hard? Tomorrow is a rest day. Rest is necessary to make training more efficient."

Ulala then showed a look of sudden realization, "Oh, I see! I had forgotten!"

Suiyuan took out his notebook and said, "According to the records, you did extra training last time, the time before last, and the time before that, so you need to rest for three days before you can continue training."

Hearing Suiyuan say that, Wulala's little face immediately fell. "No, trainer! You can learn so much in three days. How can I sleep if I don't train at my age!"

Play it again!

"it hurts!"
