Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

If I go to Hanscat's place, the round trip will be before school starts.

What's the point of strengthening our capabilities?

It's much easier on my side. After the competition, I can rest when I need to and continue training when I need to.

The last day of rest is over, and training will continue tomorrow.

The lights were still on in Suiyuan's office at night.

Super Little Bay, dressed in her pajamas, sat down next to Sui Yuan, holding his arm and looking at him with eyes full of longing.

"Trainer, aren't you going to rest? It's almost midnight."

Suiyuan kissed Super Bay, "Immediately, now Stinger has confirmed the distance and venue for the match."

1200m mud sprint race, 1800m mud mile race, 2000m grass middle-distance race, no long-distance races.

To be honest, it's a bit of a problem. Our number of racehorse girls is a major weakness, and I'm going for an elite strategy, so team battles are going to be tough at this point.

Can you win?

It's possible to win, but it's very difficult.

In team matches, it's definitely more suitable to have more players, but Stinger chose a match without a player limit.

If my side sends three units, and the Poison Stinger sends nine, how am I supposed to fight?

A maximum of twelve racehorse girls can be on the field in a team race, but normally six are on each side.

If one side chooses to play fewer games, the other side can choose to play more games.

If one side fields fewer racehorse girls, the other side can choose to field more or fewer racehorse girls.

Because team matches are not official competitions, some unreasonable rules are left as they are.

The first place gets 10 points, the second place gets 6 points, the third place gets 5 points, and the fourth and fifth place each get 1 point.

The same applies to team competitions. If you win first place, you've basically secured the win. Even if your teammates finish fourth or fifth, you can still win.

Drip!

Suiyuan's computer suddenly rang. Suiyuan opened his computer and glanced at it. It was an email from Treson College.

"Nothing's going to change again, is it? There's already a lot going on. If you're too scared, then..."

Suiyuan stopped halfway through his sentence, and Super Little Bay curiously approached him.

"What's wrong, trainer?"

Even Super Small Bay was stunned upon seeing this news. "What's going on? Why are they getting involved?"

Suiyuan rubbed his temples. "It's nothing, it's a good thing for us. However, we need to change our plans a little. It's really outrageous that Poison Sting agreed."

Super Little Bay nodded. "It is indeed a bit outrageous... no, it's extremely outrageous."

…………

Kaguya Shinomiya was choosing her racehorse girl, and Coco stood behind her, watching her make her selection.

"Dean, why do we have to participate in this team competition between Stinger and Aurora?"

Coco looked at the computer screen and said, "Stinger does have a few excellent racehorse girls who seem quite suitable for joining Totsuki."

Kaguya Shinomiya's lips twitched slightly. She had thought the headmaster was going to make some big move again, but it turned out he had his eye on someone's racehorse girl.

That's right, the team competition between Aurora and Stinger is about to add another team, namely the team from Far Moon.

Participating in the competition was a pretense; Coco's true intention was to fall for the racehorse girl, Sting.

If Stinger's trainers knew about this, they'd probably just end the team competition immediately and wouldn't even want to come anymore!

They want money, you're basically confiscating their property!

Chapter 166 Totsuki Academy Will Also Participate

"In short, that's the situation. Now, it's not just Aurora and Stinger that will be participating in the team competition; Totsuki Academy will also be participating."

Suiyuan looked at the horse racers and recounted the unexpected events of the previous day.

"Oh, Totsuki Academy is also participating in the competition?"

Golden Ship was a bit confused. Why would such a large academy as Totsuki Academy be interested in such a small competition?

It's really incomprehensible. Both teams are quite famous, but for Totsuki Academy, they're just "quite famous."

Suiyuan scratched his head. "Well, no matter what, this is a good thing. We don't have enough racehorse girls in Aurora to begin with. With one more team participating in the competition, it means we can control more racehorse girls in each competition."

Ji Zhao gritted her teeth, stood up, and looked at Sui Yuan with a serious expression.

Suiyuan was startled by Jizhao's expression. "Um, Jizhao, is there something you need?"

Ji Zhao took a deep breath and then looked at Sui Yuan with a serious expression.

"Please allow us to join your team, Trainer Suiyuan!"

"what?"

Suiyuan was completely dumbfounded. What... what's going on?

…………

Golden Ship pressed his ear against the door, hoping that she could hear what was happening inside.

"Why do Ji Zhao and the others suddenly want to join Aurora? Do you know about the prestigious clan?"

Qianming looked at the noble family with some curiosity.

The noble family looked at the tightly closed door. Suiyuan was currently inside talking with Jizhao, the Golden Master, and the Snow Beauty.

The nobleman crossed his arms and said, "I know some things, but we don't know if the information is accurate. I can confirm that the news about the auspicious omen is accurate, but as for the Golden Master and the Snow Beauty... I'm not so sure."

"Then tell me! I'm dying of impatience!"

Golden Ship couldn't help but say, "Don't leave things unsaid! It's really hard to keep quiet!"

Wangzu04 glanced at the golden ship and said, "Ah Chuan, be a little more composed."

The reason why Ji Zhao joined is the same as the reason why Qi Gao and Oguri Hat joined: her physical condition has now entered a stage of decline.

Whether in training or anything else, she couldn't reach her previous level. The trainer had a way to extend the peak performance time of the racehorse girl, so President Kitcho chose to join Aurora.

Oguri Hat timidly raised her hand, "To correct you, I didn't join because I knew that trainers could extend the peak time of Uma Musume."

The noble family looked at Little Chestnut Hat with some surprise, "So what made you join Aurora? If I remember correctly, you're the second racehorse girl to join Aurora, right?"

Oguri Hat nodded. "That's right. I'm the second horse girl to join Aurora. Before me, Aurora only had Urara."

Hearing this, Ulala happily raised her hand, "I'm number one!"

As the nobleman looked at Oguri Hat, his opinion of her began to change rapidly. Oguri Hat might be far more complex than he and others had imagined.

Her strength is only one aspect; her love of food and her airheadedness might also be a disguise. Her insight is frighteningly sharp!

They were able to discover a trainer's potential even when the trainer was still unknown.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but it's definitely not what you think. I'm a trainer."

"what?"

"Just like you said, at that time I had already left my peak period and could no longer win G-level events, but I didn't want to leave the arena."

So my previous trainer, Tojo Hana, chose to transfer me to Toshibuchi, so I could continue running, and the trainer would begin to build his reputation with my addition, but…”

A happy smile appeared on Little Chestnut's face. "The trainer refused. I will always remember what the trainer said that day. He said he would never sacrifice my reputation for those things."

I really don't care about those things. All I care about is the race. I just want to keep running, that's all.

Oguri Hat's gaze grew gentler. "But I really love my trainer who doesn't want to give up on me. I knew that ever since that cunning trainer said those words."

I'm tethered to the aurora borealis. Even if I stop competing one day, I will do everything in my power to stay in the aurora borealis.

This is my home!

Ennis, the Wind God, grasped Oguri Hat's hand. "That's what I thought too, Oguri Hat-senpai!"

Looking at the scene before him, Wangzu realized that he had underestimated the trainer. The trainer was truly a treasure trove, always surprising him with unexpected delights just when he thought he had fully explored its potential.

…………

"Ahem, let's get back to the main topic. I've already explained the reason for the auspicious omen, and now it's time to talk about the Gold Master."

You should all know her reason; it's this very issue.

The nobleman pointed to his own face.

Everyone understands what this means; the Golden Master is indeed a problem.

Wearing a mask and not wearing a mask are completely different states. Once the mask falls off, the aura and various values ​​skyrocket, and they just can't stop.

However, if the mask is worn properly on her face, her performance is only average and not as good as when she is not wearing a mask.

"As for Xiaoxue, she has a great personality, is currently on the rise, and is quite capable."

Why would she want to join in the aurora viewing?

Super Little Bay asked with some curiosity.

The other female racehorses nodded in agreement; they were also quite curious about the question.

"I really don't know. She's just like you all said, a very cute and perfect racehorse girl. She's very talented and has a perfect personality. I'm not sure why she joined Aurora either."

The prominent family member shrugged and said.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk like we at Aurora are bad. Maybe Xiaoxue joined because she likes the atmosphere at Aurora and the trainers' skills!"

Golden Ship said somewhat discontentedly, although the noble family did not mean it that way, it sounded like "If there's nothing wrong with it, who would join Aurora?"

While it's true that there are quite a few problematic girls in Aurora.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. What you said, Ah Chuan, isn't impossible."

The noble family recalled what they had just said and realized that it did indeed have some meaning to it.

"Never mind, I'll just ask Xiaoxue when she comes out."

Super Little Bay chuckled and smoothed things over, saying that what the Golden Ship said really didn't have much of a chance—leaving a familiar place, leaving a prestigious university with abundant resources, and joining a team with an uncertain future.

That is indeed quite unlikely.

…………

The scene shifts to inside the house.

Suiyuan looked at the three racehorse girls and said, "Jichao, I already know your reason. I will help you. The fact that your previous trainer disliked you can only prove one thing."

That means that guy isn't a qualified trainer.

Suiyuan flipped through the documents in his hand.

"You've brought him quite a bit of honor, yet he still dares to mock you. I won't let this go easily. Welcome to Aurora, auspicious omen."

Suiyuan smiled as she looked at Jizhao. She was excellent, had maximum work ability, and was conscientious and responsible. She really didn't know why her trainer would promote such an outstanding racehorse girl.

"From now on, please feel free to rely on me for anything related to work, trainer."

"Then I'll leave it to you, auspicious omen."

Suiyuan smiled and nodded at Jizhao, "So, Golden Master, why did you choose to join Aurora? Were your trainers not good to you?"

Suiyuan looked at the Golden Master, and before the Golden Master could speak, Suiyuan added, "Well, the three of you have already successfully joined Aurora, so my question was purely out of curiosity, and you don't have to answer it."

If something bad happens, it feels like I'm reopening someone's wound if I don't add that last sentence.

Because he was wearing a mask, the Gold Master's voice sounded somewhat muffled.

“It’s not what you’re saying. I… don’t have a trainer yet.”

When the Golden Master uttered those words, not only Suiyuan, but also Jizhao and Xue Zhi Meiren looked at him in surprise.

The Golden Master lowered his head and continued, "I'm not easy to get along with, whether I'm wearing a mask or not. Because of my aloof personality and intimidating eyes, no trainer has ever invited me to join any team."

No team would like a racehorse girl with a bad temper.

Suiyuan looked incredulous. "What did you say?"

Is the goldsmith in a bad temper?

Anyone who spends a little more time with this child knows that he's incredibly timid; how could he possibly be difficult to get along with?
