NO. 230: Just like a certain school/style

3 minutes 26.5 seconds

This is the Gaoyue Prize champion record from 614

It is both the first Gaoyue Prize champion record under the new 5100-meter course, and, according to the original distance conversion, it also surpasses the previous generation's record as a new record

And then, now, nearly a month later—the Jidong Derby

It is likewise a classic 5100-meter Triple Crown event, with the lineup hardly changed from last time

Only the start time has been moved up, yet it solemnly bears even greater expectations than before

Although the environment of the Government Center Racecourse is vastly different from that of the Middle Mountain Racecourse, especially in the design of slopes and turns, which can be said to be a completely different track experience. And the participating athletes, from their last race to now, have had less than a month, which should be too short a preparation time to yield any training results—

But obviously, the horse racing circle has always been about playing an outdated tune: spectators only need to expect new records and new champions, while trainers and horse girls have much more to consider

The former still needs investigation, but the latter is undoubtedly a headache, because nowadays the speed starting point has been set too high

Although historical records are constantly being broken by extreme speed, this itself is merely the result of skill gradually being uncovered as the industry progresses

The fact is, horse girls have physical limits

Although this limit largely stems from the strictness of the race system itself, and from the regulation that forbids horse girls from contacting any source energy other than the Three Goddesses, it is precisely this regulation that gives horse racing its most solid foundation, unchanging for a thousand years

But no matter how necessary it is, it doesn't stop spectators, horse girls, and even trainers from complaining about its restrictions

Being able to understand is one thing; being able to accept is another

Everyone knows this kind of thing cannot be opened

Once opened, the entrants will be athletes with extremely low horse girl content and extremely high other biological content

Just like in federal history, there was once a niche group's liberation—wild proliferation, exclusion, and countless opportunists mixing in, bringing a murky mess

Once opened, there will also be various drugs, genetic modifications, and source energy sublimation all at once; the race will no longer rely solely on blood-and-sweat training, but will depend on who uses drugs more harshly, who remodels more thoroughly, and who sublimates to a higher level

It mainly features a bunch of demons dancing wildly—pure goods, pointy heads, no longer human

Perhaps it could let many bloodthirsty spectators have a blast, shouting 'This is the stage I want!' Then it would decline like those unlimited competitions, due to operational difficulties, and after the novelty wears off, it would suffer from low spectator appeal as a hard injury

In the end, rules are necessary, screening is necessary, and spectator appeal that even laypeople will stop to watch is even more necessary

The larger the circle, the more it needs thoughtful stability; otherwise it's no different from the path of smaller circles with more troubles

A larger circle merely offers the possibility of screening out more capable people, especially those who can influence the environment and lead the trends

But even such capable people cannot overturn the objective law that constructs facts—namely, not opening this head makes it easy for everyone to hit their limits

Even if there are some health supplements and nutritious foods that regulations cannot reach, which can improve, strengthen, optimize, and protect the body just like ordinary non-horse-girl citizens, their improvement in high-intensity sports events is still quite limited

And when everyone inches closer to their own limits, what it takes to break records is often not one's own strength, but other factors

Running style, strategy, even opponents' coordination, and a little bit of… luck

Like the record set by Aimu Zhiji in the previous race, which will surely go down in the horse girls' textbook as a new record, relying not only on her running experience and swift final kick, but also on the offense and defense of opponents whom she didn't anticipate but who themselves were calculating

Without a doubt

For Aimu Zhiji, who did not directly target anyone with tactics and red skills, the collapse of the rear group and the great pulling of the basic rhythm speed were both sudden windfalls from heaven

——I haven't done anything yet… what's going on?

Want to know?

Please see VCR. jpg

Aomo really gave the girls a viewing of that race video after the race, which each of them still constantly recalls

The video file obtained by virtue of being the current athlete's trainer can also be formatted for holographic projection and deep immersion devices

In other words, freedom!

Under the relatively free viewpoint constructed by over a hundred high-speed cameras that avoids dangerous shots, he can bring the four parties concerned to review their steps each minute and second

As well as the condition and choices of the other athletes

Then he starts pointing and commenting

【What others are doing at this moment, and what you are doing? Learn the lesson.】

【Although this athlete's judgment wasn't successfully carried out, there's no problem with the thinking; you should learn from it.】

【Here you hesitated—I can see it, maybe everyone can see it… tell me, what were you thinking at that time?】

……

That's the extent of the grilling, which lasted three hours

Although there have also been praises and acknowledgments, and it could become a positive case for educating other teammates, most of the time it's still pointing and commenting

People simply cannot be perfect

Even though being the previous champion, moreover an escape horse, running all the way at the front with relatively little interaction with others, Beautiful Bay Bourbon would still be spotted by its own trainer's harsh gaze for problems to correct—

——Immediately thereafter, discussing other athletes' possible counterstrategies. For the four horse girls who at least still have to race twice on the same field, this is like a harsh exchange

Her own running style, tactics, and even leg strength are taken out by the trainer to let the three opponents understand; at the same time, as long as she doesn't wander off or space out, she can equally understand those three points of the other three opponents

Even the subsequent mock breakthroughs had no trace of avoidance

Everyone was equally analyzed by the trainer in one round, and on top of the original understanding, the trainer added his sharp, piercing deconstruction analysis and route discussion

By now, the girls also can't say whether their treatment and gains are equal

There's a feeling of unfairness that can't be pinpointed, because even if these things were made public to each other, what then?

They all have the confidence of an open and aboveboard showdown

Even the most tactically gifted Ailisuzhi is just as confident in herself after absorbing the lesson, as ever, a confidence worthy of pride

At the same time, she is the one among the four horse girls who cares the least about that team's debrief, and if you ask why, it's quite simple

Her data has just begun, and her running style has only recently been established

There is room for change

As for tactics…… it's not that she looks down on her teammates; she simply thinks that even if the trainer lays out that idea, these three teammates of hers would still be unable to defend against herself

How could the calculations on the battlefield be made clear just by relying on half an hour of analysis?

Compared to before, the 5100-meter distance has lengthened not just in distance but also in the duration of the confrontation.

This lengthened time can hold more calculations and operations; in future races, the share allotted to strategy will only grow, and she believes she can instantly grasp this core.

In this era, the later it gets, the more it will become a stage for displaying intellect.

And it will also increasingly become her own stage.

To set a new record, that rare opponent cooperation, that crucial talk of luck— in her view they can still be integrated into the realm of strategy.

For this, she has even not overly cared about those vile, cunning women around Tunshujun these days.

She has devoted all the mental energy she freed up to that old classmate who goes along with so‑called fate and is very familiar.

Senlinbaoxue.

Having once let Tunshujun earnestly entrust, appearing in speech as a sign of becoming a formidable foe, after truly fighting a battle, Ailisuzhi instead acknowledged her threat.

Even though she only got fifth place in that match, she was almost ignored by the spectators.

But on the ever‑changing racecourse, a momentary ranking doesn't mean much— let alone that on that battlefield the ranking that placed one through five, the actual distance between them wasn't actually far.

In horse‑girl research she also has some views unique to herself; she, who has a bit of a trainer's keen eye, has indeed also caught a glimpse from that annoying guy of where the light of a strong horse‑girl lies.

But that guy, his mind seems very smooth, as if his head were stuffed with muscle, making her often feel a communication barrier.

But...

She is still very suitable! Ailisuzhi thought.

She is a good test subject; perhaps she can make the difficult premise of 'opponent cooperating with you' become an easy possibility.
