"This is my talent, my ability, my explosive power! I won't feel ashamed of it, nor will I feel unwilling to accept it anymore!"

"Really."

While Nishino Hana was looking at the completely transformed Sakura Shinou in front of her, she couldn't help but think of her other good friend - Qingyun Tiankong.

Nishino Hana hadn't met Qingyun Tiankong for a while. The last time they met was not long after Xingjiang joined the Kitano team. At that time, Nishino Hana was chatting with Qingyun Tiankong and found that Qingyun Tiankong always talked about a few things over and over again - things about Kitano.

Although there were only a few things going on, and Qingyun Tiankong had not been in the team for long at that time, Nishino Hana had already felt that her good friend seemed to have some unusual feelings towards the trainer named "Kitano Ryuichi"?

And now, Nishino Hana knows that Sakura Shinou is also one of the horse girls under Kitano's trainer. From her current transformation and her trust in Kitano, combined with Qingyun Tiankong's performance... Nishino Hana's expression unconsciously relaxed.

It seems that Qingyun and Jinwang have both found a good trainer.

"Then we'll see you on the field. Goodbye, Jin Wang."

Nishino Hana, feeling relieved, also noticed a figure walking towards them. She smiled very appropriately and left.

After Nishino Hana walked away, Kitano, who was not far away, slowly walked over. At this moment, Sakura Shinou didn't even turn his head. His cherry blossom-shaped pupils flickered slightly, and after returning to his normal appearance, he said, "Trainer-san...we are here again."

"Yes, we are here again, Jin Wang, your first GI challenge." Kitano also nodded. For Sakura Jin Wang, who has memories of the past, Kitano certainly knows what she means.

This time, just like the week they belonged to before, they once again stood on the stage of the Sprint Horse Championship, and their opponents remained the same.

"I lost last time. This is the only time I've lost in a short-distance event!"

"This time, I definitely won't lose! I'll be the undefeated horse girl in all short-distance races!" Sakura Shin-oh nodded with determination and said to Kitano beside him, "Then, I'm going! Trainer-san!"

"Wait a moment." Just as Jin Wang was about to leave, Kitano reached out and held her back. Seeing that his impatient person was still so uncalm even after learning the lesson from the previous round, he needed him, the trainer, to take action at this time.

The next moment, Kitano slowly stretched out his hand, and under Sakura Shinou's somewhat puzzled gaze, he slowly took off Shinou's golden headband, then took out a pink ribbon from his pocket and slowly tied it on the headband.

"In this match, Jin Wang, if you want to defeat Nishinoka, then I need you to not only rush as fast as usual, but also maintain your own pace before sprinting all out, and not be disturbed by anyone else's pace."

"In the previous match, Nishinoka won not because her last kick was much sharper than yours, nor because her strength was far superior to yours."

"Your condition wasn't good in that match to begin with, that's one thing. The other, most important point is that Nishinoka knew her own strength couldn't match that of a popular stallion, so she chose the right tactics that suited her best."

"And this time, King Jin, you used to be able to win by just charging in. But if you want to win this time, I need you to stay calm. Just like Nishinohua, choose the right tactics and charge out at the right time. Don't let Nishinohua take advantage of you, and don't let the Sun God's explosive escape affect your rhythm."

"If the pace of this match is as expected, thanks to the Sun God's explosive escape tactics, it will be quite fast. But Jin Wang, I have confidence in you. As long as you maintain your pace, you will definitely surpass the nearly exhausted Sun God and Nishino Hana, who is not good at head-on confrontation, in the final sprint."

After Kitano finished speaking, he had already tied the pink ribbon on Jin Wang's headband, and then, with Jin Wang looking at him in a daze, he put it on her head again with a smile.

The next moment, before Kitano could withdraw his hand, Sakura Jinwang suddenly grabbed one of Kitano's hands, closed her eyes and put her cheek close to Kitano's palm, feeling the warmth that made her feel familiar and reassuring.

"Trainer-san... do you want the 'Rampage King' to become the 'Calm King' this time?"

"Is that asking too much?" Kitano smiled gently, letting Sakura Shinou feel his warmth before the match began. He said softly, "That's why I gave you this ribbon. Shinou, if you can't control yourself on the court, just think about this ribbon. Maybe it will calm you down a little."

"And when you feel you can charge in, don't worry about my opinion. Just charge in. No matter what the timing is, good or bad, I believe you can win."

"As long as I do what Trainer-san says first, then I can win by charging forward later, right?"

Sakura Shin-oh nodded in understanding, his other hand subconsciously touching the ribbon Kitano had just tied on his headband. His face seemed to be stained with a bit of cherry blossom red. He lowered his head and murmured softly, "It sounds like you're giving me the right to choose, but in fact, isn't it still up to me to listen to you?"

"You guys are really...super cunning."

If that's the case, I won't have enough strength to "rush forward", you liar trainer.

My sudden advance means to move forward bravely without any worries or thinking. If you do this now, aren't you restricting my most powerful ability?

But...if this is a restriction imposed by Trainer-san...

But... I don't hate it.

However, you don't want to restrict me only in the competition. If you want to limit my "violent advance"... maybe you have to add a "chain" in other places.

For some reason, when she thought of this, Jin Wang swallowed slightly, and her slightly pink neck began to ooze out a few drops of sweat...

Chapter 363: The arrival of Sakura Jinwang’s family?

In the end, Sakura Jinwang never thought of the possibility of going against Kitano's ideas. Or rather, in Jinwang's mind, except for the previous Japanese derby, she had never sung a different tune from Kitano. She had always completely followed Kitano's plan in terms of the arrangement of the game.

Because in his memory, even back then, when he and his trainer hadn't opened up to each other, his trainer had seen her strengths and advantages earlier than he had. For this reason alone, Jin Wang trusted Kitano's judgment unconditionally.

Even if... he allowed himself to calm down a little and let this idiot judge for himself when was the right time to "rush".

Can I really do it myself?

For the first time, Sakura Shinou lost confidence in himself. It wasn't his speed and strength, or his dominance in short-distance events, but his intelligence.

This was the first time that Kitano let her judge the changes in the game on her own, and the first time that she was allowed to fully grasp the opportunity. These things were indeed a little different for Sakura Shinou, who used to only need to run forward with all her strength.

Even Jin Wang was a little nervous. She was afraid that her stupid brain would make a wrong judgment, or she would forget all of Kitano's warnings once she entered the competition field, and lose this opportunity because of her own mindless recklessness.

"No, no, King of Storm, calm down—Trainer-san has considered everything and can't make a mistake with you!"

Jin Wang quickly patted her cheeks, trying to get rid of the uneasy feeling. However, one of her hands unconsciously rubbed her headband, the pink ribbon that Kitano had tied for her.

Maybe it was a psychological effect, but when Jin Wang touched the ribbon that Kitano had tied for her, she actually felt a little calmer, even though she was a little uneasy at first...

No, perhaps this is what Trainer Sang wanted. He wanted to use this ribbon to remind me that he is always by my side, so that I will not forget what he told me.

"What a... cunning trainer! He definitely anticipated this, didn't he? I'll definitely listen to him, so he specifically used this method to remind me."

Prince Jin's cheeks flushed slightly as he rubbed the pink ribbon. Kitano's technique of tying the ribbon was surprisingly good. There were two small rabbit ears at the knot, which made Prince Jin calm down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although he is not sensitive in other matters, Sakura Shinou is unexpectedly sensitive about Kitano's door. Besides being shy, he looks completely different.

"Then, go ahead! With a calm and aggressive charge!"

……

Arriving at the stadium from the tunnel, Sakura Shinou, who had just entered the field, heard warm applause and cheers. The game had not yet started, but the enthusiasm of the stadium, which had already been ignited by the gathering of several victorious horse girls, had already been ignited.

"No. 2 Sakura Shinou has also entered! Oh, this time Sakura Shinou is a little different! She's wearing a pink ribbon! What does this mean? Is it her all-out effort, or is it a lucky charm?"

"But no matter what, No. 2 Sakura Shinou is in excellent form. As the fourth most popular horse in this race, Sakura Shinou may have suffered a loss in the previous Japanese Derby, but her record in short-distance races remains undefeated!"

"This time, she, No. 5 Nishinohana, and No. 12 Dataku Sunshine are the three most popular horse racing girls in this short-distance horse racing championship!"

"Look, Sister Jin Wang is coming out, aunt."

In the audience, there was only a horse girl wearing the uniform of Tresen Academy, whose hair and eye color were exactly the same as Sakura Shinou, who asked another horse girl who was a slightly older woman next to her.

Judging from the two girls' matching hair color and pink eyes, they were undoubtedly of the same bloodline as Prince Sakura. The horse girl in the Tresen Academy uniform, named "Sakura Laurel," was one of the few "noble horse girls" of pure European descent in the Sakura family.

As for the other woman, Ma Musume, if Sakura Shinou knew in advance, she would definitely call out the affectionate "Mom" at the first moment, her proud mother, the mainstay of the Sakura family, the king of middle distance - "Sakura Fengou".

As for this short-distance horse racing championship, neither Sakura Fengwang nor Sakura Laurel told Jinwang that they would be attending the race. This was because they had decided to observe the race secretly.

However, the person being secretly observed was not Shinou, but Shinou's trainer - Ryuichi Kitano.

"Is it that trainer who told Jin Wang the truth, allowing her to face reality and focus on the short-distance events she excels in, instead of deceiving herself as before, thinking that she can dominate all distances?"

"Yes." Sakura Laurel was watching Prince Jin on the field, and noticed the extra pink ribbon in Prince Jin's hair. She unconsciously smiled delicately and said, "That trainer asked Prince Jin to participate in the Japanese Derby. Auntie, don't you know about this?"

"After that match, Jin Wang wasn't upset at all, as if she already knew the outcome. She even defended her trainer, saying in front of so many reporters that she could only run short distances."

"It seems that King Shin has truly transformed, and all these changes are due to that trainer."

Sakura Laurel said this, looking at her sister on the field, and couldn't help but have a little envy on her face. All of this was also captured by the eyes of Sakura Fengwang who was standing beside her.

"That's why I came to see who this trainer is who could transform my silly daughter into a completely different person."

"Now it seems..." Sakura Fengwang's gaze was also cast on Jinwang's pink ribbon, watching his daughter, who, contrary to her usual behavior, did not become extremely excited after entering the competition, but instead seemed extremely calm and composed.

But... Sakura Fengwang is indeed the kind of horse girl who knows her daughter best. She could see that although Jinwang seemed calm, his legs were actually anxious and slightly accelerating. But every time he accelerated to the point of running, she would suppress it forcefully.

Prince Jin...had actually learned to control himself? Such a huge change was simply "shocking" to Prince Sakurafeng.

Jinou has not been in good health since childhood, but she has excellent acceleration and a flexible body. Therefore, she was considered one of the most suitable people in the Sakura family to be a horse girl at that time. More importantly, she has had an almost obsessive love for running since she was a child.

She likes to sprint at full speed, or in her words, "rush forward". She likes to rush to the finish line in one breath and ignores tactics when running. If she didn't know how to control the consumption of physical strength, I'm afraid the Sakura family would have a new "escape" horse girl.

But even so, because she didn't know how to breathe and was so excited that she lost her mind once she started running, although it was a good thing that Sakura Jinwang was extremely focused during the race, Sakura Fengwang knew very well that his daughter could not run middle distances like him.

Her future path will only be short distance running, otherwise it will only be a waste of her talents and abilities. But as a mother, how can Sakura Fengwang tell her daughter, who has always wanted to prove that she can run more than just short distances, to give up her fantasy?

In the end, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.

But now, someone actually did something that no one in the Sakura family dared to do. He "cruelly" used a game to pull off Sakura Shinou's last "fig leaf", exposing her abilities and talents, even her shortcomings and limitations, to everyone.

Moreover, after doing all this, her poor daughter did not collapse. On the contrary, she defended this man so much. Even until now, she is still controlling her nature because of the little encouragement this man gave her.

This is really... incredible. Sakura Fengwang thought so in his heart, and then he focused his eyes on the field.

At this moment, Jin Wang had already entered the gate, and after she took a deep breath, the familiar cherry blossom-shaped pupils did not appear in her pupils, which was proof that she had controlled her emotions.

"Don't rush in all at once. Control your own pace first and don't let others affect you." Kitano's words at this moment echoed in Jin Wang's mind. Jin Wang also tried his best to suppress his impulses, so that he would not rush out without considering the situation as he did in the past.

This time, his rival is Nishinohana-san... In the first match he could remember, Nishinohana-san also won. Her tactics... seemed to be about conserving her energy?

Then, you just need to maintain a little advantage over her. When she sprints, you should sprint as well. Don't follow the rhythm of Datuo Sun God.

After thinking calmly for a while, King Jin also roughly formulated his own tactics at this moment. The moment she reopened her eyes, the gate in front of her immediately opened!

"It's time to go! All the horse racing ladies have done a great job of going out!"

"First, we can see—Da Tuo Sun Goddess, number 14! She hasn't let her unfavorable ranking affect her performance. She's using her best tactic, the explosive escape! It was with this tactic that she won the GI One Mile Championship!"

"It seems that Datuo Sun God is also full of confidence this time and can lead the whole field just like in the one-mile championship race!"

"Of course!" At this moment, Datuo Sun Goddess was quite confident in her heart. She was not only confident in her explosive escape tactics, but more confident in the development of the next game.

"My goal isn't just to escape explosively, but to use it to set the pace for the entire match! That's what the believers told me—the essence of escaping explosively!"

"At 1200 meters, some people will definitely get anxious if the gap widens. Short-distance runners have similar endurance, so if their rhythm gets disrupted, they'll definitely lose speed. Then, just wait and see how I and the believers do. After I've carried you all, I'll leisurely take the championship!"

"Nishino-san might not follow me, but Sakura Shinou-san will definitely come up and compete with me like a fool! When she's around, the rhythm of the rest of the group will probably be disrupted!"

"Hehe, this tactic of getting along with believers is really smart! Turns out running away isn't such a stupid tactic after all!"

The Sun God Datuo was thinking proudly at this moment, but she didn't realize that behind her, King Sakura Jin didn't follow her as she expected.

At this moment, she was in the advance team, keeping herself ahead of Nishinohua, but not too far behind Datuo Sun God, chasing slowly.

Chapter 364: The duel between King Jin and Nishino Hana, a blow that changes fate!

Datuo Sun God's tactical arrangements this time were very well-planned. It can be said that he was well prepared. He followed the advantages and tactics of the "explosive escape" tactics taught by the believers, and immediately relied on this tactic to win his first GI. This time, Sun God was also very satisfied with his tactics.

Dataku Sun God's physical fitness is not very good. To be honest, the tactic of "escape" which requires a high level of physical fitness of the horse girl herself is not suitable for her, especially since she has a problem - when she is about to reach the finish line, she tends to brake a distance before the finish line.

In fact, it means that when you are about to reach the finish line, you realize that you are running out of energy, but in order to prevent yourself from losing speed, you have to slow down a little to preserve your energy. But the Sun God also knows that this move is very bad, especially when it happens in the last distance before crossing the finish line.

But she didn't know how to improve this. However, at this moment, after watching Shanxin's performance in the final of the selection competition, the Sun God suddenly realized the essence of Shanxin's tactics!

If she was prone to running out of energy before the finish line, losing speed and being overtaken, what if she, like the devotee at that time, took the time to relax in the middle of the race?

Well, as a runner, she can also have some time to take a breath, and while maintaining the lead, when the following horse girls are close to her or have surpassed her by a short time, will it be more effective to put all her strength into the sprint?

Thinking he had figured out the believer's explosive escape tactics, Sun God verified this at the previous GI Mile Championship. Sure enough, his tactical adjustments were incredibly effective! The results were immediate!

Not only can the explosive escape speed up the overall rhythm of all the horse girls in the field, making many horse girls who originally have the ability to win but are unstable lose their chances, but the tactic of conserving energy as much as possible while maintaining the lead in the middle game will also mislead some horse girls into thinking that she has lost speed early.

Then, at the last moment when she still had the energy to rush out, she could perfectly cover up her weakness of being easily exhausted! That's how she won that match!

So this time, let her repeat her old tricks and drag as many people into the water as possible! Watch how I disrupt the rhythm of all of you!

With this idea in mind, Datuo Sun God's legs became stronger and stronger, trying to create as much distance as possible from everyone before reaching the middle game!

When she reaches the middle of the race, she can slow down a bit and take a break. Then she will see whether some unlucky people will slow down with her or "press the advantage" and lose all their strength before the finish line like her.

"She's learned it quite well." Bei Ye, having naturally received information from the believer, knew all about Datuo Sun God's little plan. He chuckled softly and said, "Although she's just imitating, she's clearly grasped the essence."

"The Sun God is also very smart. I think she's even more talented than me." When Shanxin heard Kitano praising the Sun God, he leaned half over the railing, watching the arena with a faint smile on his face, and said softly, "The only thing the Sun God lacks... is family and blood. If I wasn't born in the Mejiro family... if my identity and the Sun God's were swapped, she might be able to go further - Ugh, Trainer! What are you doing!"

However, before Shanxin could finish his words, he felt Kitano rubbing the flesh on one side of his cheek with his fingers. The originally serious Shanxin did not expect Kitano to make such a "surprise attack". His face immediately turned red and he was rarely frightened.

However, although Shanxin was somewhat unprepared for Kitano's attack, he did not resist after being frightened. He just blushed and whispered, "We are outside... Trainer-kun."

"If I don't tell you to stop, Shanxin, you're going to underestimate yourself again, aren't you?" Kitano chuckled as he saw Shanxin's mood recover a little. "Although the Sun Goddess's imitation is good and she has grasped the essence of the explosive escape, Shanxin, you haven't debuted yet, but if you try to escape with the Sun Goddess in your current state, she will definitely not be your opponent."

"If nothing else, your endurance is far superior to that of the Sun God. In a 1200-meter sprint race, the Sun God has to calculate his own stamina to plan his strategy. And with a distance like this... believer, this isn't even a warm-up for you."

"But at 1200 meters, I probably won't be able to pull away much, right? My acceleration isn't very fast." Although Shanxin was delighted by Kitano's words of comfort, he still spoke up for his friend: "Sun God accelerates much faster than I do."

"So, although you and Sun God both have 'explosion' skills, your performances are suited to different stages," Kitano replied with a chuckle. "Sun God's expertise lies in sprints and miles, while Shanxin, your 'explosion' is more suited to middle and long distances."

"You're such a great runner, Shanxin. Even Silent Suzuka might not be able to pull off such a feat. She can only dominate the mile and middle distances under 2200 meters. Shanxin, you'll have a longer road ahead of them."

"not to mention……"

The next moment, Kitano narrowed his eyes. His gaze remained fixed on Sakura Shinou, who was at the front of the team, maintaining a certain distance from the Sun God but not challenging him. He smiled with great satisfaction and said, "After all, it's just imitation. The real fear of a true escape is that the opponent can actually escape all the way. If they can't do that and are seen through, there's nothing to be afraid of."
