Chapter 1552

NO. 167: I'm here for training, what are you going to do? (1k monthly ticket bonus)

Although I don't expect these girls to cooperate in surrounding others, Aomo is worried about a certain possibility.

A possibility where they rush to determine superiority internally, letting the snipe and clam fight so others benefit.

To be honest, as the first stop of a lifetime's classic Triple Crown, the Gaoyue Prize isn't particularly high in intensity.

This place is always filled with novice horse girls; whether it's race records or individual stats, they often can't compare to the ancient horse races of the Spring and Autumn Triple Crown.

But precisely because everyone is at this level, the competition becomes fiercely intense, and its value for viewing and analysis often surpasses those ancient horse racecourses.

After all, the entry standards for ancient horse racecourses are too free, which inevitably leads to large disparities in strength among competitors.

Indeed, a dominant stance also has its own kind of entertainment value; most spectators still enjoy watching their favored horse girl overwhelm everything, but what trainers of the competitors obviously consider is how to win—on an ancient horse racecourse, an invincible posture can allow some slack, as long as one is strong enough there's considerable tolerance for error, which is actually leniency toward the strong.

By contrast, on the classic racecourse there are certainly some individuals who stand out from most of their peers, quickly earning the 'monster' distinction and proving astonishing.

——but such existences are usually single-digit in number within a generation.

Most of the time, you can't even gather five of them.

Furthermore, often just one or two races are enough for them to prove to everyone that this generation will be their stage of competition.

Of course, exceptions do exist, and they are not few.

Late-blooming horse girls, when unexpected, rise up like a wave that overturns the board, frequently appearing in horse racing history; however, such horse girls cannot qualify for the classic Triple Crown, and due to their late bloom their active period is short, so discussing them often turns onto another track, making it hard to compare them with those who follow the orthodox path and display steady strength.

Moreover, it has nothing to do with the Gaoyue Prize.

As the first stop for most horse girls' dreams of competition, what we need to worry about here is not an assassin destroying the Triple Crown dream, but whether a 'monster' will appear and send everyone to the assassin's seats.

At that point, it will be: she is the orthodox contender for the Triple Crown, and you are the assassins.

This uncertainty is both the historical witness that spectators look forward to, the prospecting of raw stones, and a key that trainers and horse girls should be especially vigilant about.

"What's the point of thinking so much? Horse girls just need to think about winning."

At the edge of the beta training field's boundary fence, Miss Narita Shiromi issued an important directive, causing the trainer who was gazing into the distance at the track's flow to glance at her, feeling especially helpless.

"Indeed, reducing the mental burden on horse girls counts as part of a trainer's job, but not all horse girls suit that pure running style."

Without waiting for a rebuttal, he added: "Moreover, I'm worried that they're so fixated on internal team competition that they neglect external threats."

Rather than hoping horse girls indulge in idle speculation and look ahead and behind.

Indeed, there's not much to think about; as an information player, he has already analyzed the entries for this Gaoyue Prize.

Horse girls each have two to nine opportunities to prove themselves before entering the Gaoyue Prize.

Without a doubt, nine is the limit recorded.

A kind of 'limit: in just over three months, searching across the whole Terra for horse girls who can participate in one year's worth of official races in their careers, and trying as many as possible.'

Such perseverance to bear the various pressures of high-intensity competition despite an inauspicious start makes this kind of novice veteran king naturally rare.

Success is even rarer.

Because it's not just about resisting pressure, but also overcoming the mental and physical deterioration caused by shuttling between multiple racecourses.

After going through this round, it's clearly another level of ironman, comparable to the intensity of super-overtime JunChuan JiangSheng and overload training Mihou Bourbon, together constituting the standard of an ironman triathlon.

And such a person, in this batch, happens to be exactly one.

Senlinbaoxue.

That horse girl, who shares the same cohort as Suzi and Chazuo and whose ordeal of having her contract trainer delayed for nearly a year is exactly the same, is precisely the resilient athlete who embarked on such an extreme beginning.

Starting off poorly, unnoticed, failing to secure a stunning stage, she chose the path of accumulating little by little through experience.

Although in various eye-catching news, reports about her have always struggled to gain popularity, yet the attention those reports received is indeed steadily increasing bit by bit—in the database filtered by Witch Beast, Aomo's arrangement makes it especially obvious.

This is definitely a threat, he is certain.

Because her unusually unusual nine-match streak can be said to have yielded more reference data than others, Aomo's analysis data on her is far more detailed than that of other competitors.

That meticulousness meant precision, which for him was both good and bad.

The good, of course, was the significance of information gathering, while the bad was that, as a trainer for competitors, it meant…

He had at least been the one who repeatedly told Ailisuzhi he would use information experiments to help her win, and he hadn't forgotten that promise—no matter how busy he was, he never let up on his attention to the horse girl circle.

The concrete expression of this attention was that, whether junior high or high school, central or local, he knew any horse girl who had even a hint of notoriety.

Moreover, classmates in the same cohort and grade as Chazuo and Suzi were the primary targets he would periodically look up online.

Senlinbaoxue was obviously on that list, but her performance was always lukewarm; she had little to do with Chazuo, and her only interaction with Suzi was being subjected to the reckless early experiments of the unrestrained Suzi.

But unlike Chazuo, she didn't end up entangled with Suzi in an inescapable bond.

She was one of the many early victims who opted to keep their distance.

Given Suzi's awful early personality and attitude, it's not really surprising; Aomo, who had seen her physical test scores and mock race performance, didn't pay it much heed.

Even if the other party had signed on as a trainer last October and performed decently in the New Horse Battle, but compared to the four contemporaries under his command…

Being both a trainer and a horse girl DD, one must grow accustomed to that contradictory mindset of regret and reassurance intertwined; even now—this mindset has reversed.

Senlinbaoxue proved her brand-new transformation in over three months, and he needed to let these girls, whom he still saw as each other's, know about this.

…Bai Ren senior?

Guinea Pig-kun? What's the matter with her?

……The earlier remark is taken back; it's not only between them either.

After all, even Aomo himself didn't pay attention to this at first.

"Yeah, how did you end up here?" he asked, turning his head.

In this β training field, which isn't considered part of the school, the other's appearance amounted to proof of skipping class.

"Why can't I be here?" she retorted confidently.

"Isn't this for intensified training? Qianming and Rudolf will be coming later too; isn't that enough?"

…Of course, welcome.

Although it was rather sudden, he couldn't possibly refuse such a delivered double‑effect training session; but at that moment he unconsciously glanced at the source of the sudden hostility.

They all have......?

Including Aizhi, who always has an indifferent attitude, and Bopang, who always seems fine, this resistance doesn't look like an illusion no matter how you look at it, making his head start to hurt.
