NO. 570: The Unique Focus of the Older Generation

Despite previous questioning and inquiry, everyone's focus was almost entirely on whether the trainer had made a mistake while drunk.

As a result, no one paid attention to the trainer's initial conversation with Ludaofu Xiangzheng and Qianming's representatives.

Indeed, this is merely superficial.

Actually, anyone who could appear in the activity room, if they had even a bit of ability to read expressions, could notice the strange atmosphere that had recently surrounded the adult group—occasional gloom, occasional deliberate quiet; even if one wanted to inquire, Aomo would only change the subject.

Under these circumstances, perceptive people could already link this to yesterday's after-work drinks, and thus the hesitation 'Would asking for details be superfluous?' would come over them.

At first glance it seems just the curse of Eastern culture, but in fact it also involves a degree of the common human tendency to avoid thinking.

—Everyone knows everyone has a good personality and temper; even if one inadvertently angers the other in a rash moment, an apology can simply let it pass. But if there is a choice, surely one still wants to avoid such conflict, right?

Hope for flawless feelings, hope for no rifts in relationships, and fear more that the hole left after a nail is pried out remains unseen, instead turning, through neglect of observation, into a continually expanding crack.

Thus one simply refuses to leave any chance of driving a long nail into another's heart, carefully handling interpersonal relations, and even demanding this of oneself in conduct… Such a wish is both human nature and a luxury, after all unrealistic.

People inevitably make mistakes.

Mutual harm is not limited to love; it also appears in familial and friendly bonds as part of the human condition, so one should also actively explore, seek knowledge, and apologize, thereby drawing lessons to grow into someone less prone to error.

Only by achieving this can you better shoulder the responsibility of guiding others.

After all, whether you want it or not, education is a process of exerting influence; even if you do not wish to mix your own worldview in, the educated will still be affected through precept and example.

Thus one needs keen insight to correct others' missteps while also setting the best example—this is Aomo's understanding of an ideal educator, and the direction he has striven to follow since becoming a trainer.

So he plans to find a time later to explain this matter, while using it to package his boring grand principles.

And before that……

First, let's verify yesterday's results.

At 3 p. m., Beta Training Field, M's extreme course.

Aomo Lindun stood before the semi‑illusory fence, with the training field's system timer visible to all hanging nearby.

He gazed at the three Benz cars on the long track, then looked to the side where a separate monster‑fighting arena had been set up, in which Gubasa was battling Cthulhu and the Golden Ancient Bridge.

This is not some Pokémon battle, but a suit battle.

While Manchester City Tea House, Muir Bourbon, and Qianming's representative were stationed there, they conducted a 2v1 simulation drill, training intellect and will, because both Cthulhu and the Golden Ancient Bridge possess strength superior to Gubasa.

Its sole advantage lies only in speed and the ability to entangle storms; how to make use of this to endure long enough is the special topic Aomo arranged under the premise of 'not letting her easily run limits together with the Emperor, the Solitary Wolf, and the Sirius.'

Moreover, let's not mention the minor detail of two certain JKs sneaking into the adult group's exclusive trainer time this way.

Qianming's representative's curriculum has always been the most diverse, its design even surpassing Aron's three Gab imaginations. Because this is a plan devised jointly by the adult group and Aomo, aiming to train speed, stamina, etc., without overburdening the legs, taking a roundabout approach.

However, no matter how rich and varied Qianming's representative's training curriculum is, it is ultimately impossible to truly avoid the 'torment' inflicted on the legs.

Physical training is unavoidable, and the 'hammering' of bones and muscles is also indispensable.

Qianming's representative had long diagnosed that the problem lay in speed and intensity exceeding what the feet could bear, so it was only right to increase the feet's load‑bearing capacity during this training.

Some blood must still be shed.

Especially, it should be shed while medical resources are abundant.

Just as everyone else's course intensity has risen sharply, the extra lessons assigned to Qianming's representative will not be absent.

But no one will call it bitter.

Even Sirius, who ought to complain the most, and Bai Ren, who is most likely to skip out, are gritting their teeth and persisting.

When the trainer consoles them during break time and pulls them around, that's another matter altogether.

No matter how you say it, this sudden surge in training intensity is both where their enthusiasm leads and a proof to others.

The difference lies only in that some merely prove their fighting spirit to teammates.

Others prove it to both teammates and the trainer, demonstrating their change, making their own response, and together pursuing the unprecedented length's end.

M, truly an outrageous length.

So outrageous that the Beta Training Field, as a newly opened official venue sponsored by the Symbolic Family, with all facilities brand‑new, could just barely afford to immediately undertake the simulation of this length of track.

But this is the intensity of the Long Distance Dream Cup.

Compared to the midway M, the extra seven kilometers already constitute a long‑distance race in itself for the classic‑year horse girls.

Yet the long‑distance course of the ancient horse year has already exceeded ten thousand meters in race distance.

The comprehensive reform of the race system has never been limited to the classic year; it first manifested in the classic Triple Crown races, and then in the Dream Cup, which ordinary sense does not regard as a normal benchmark.

The Dream Cup is indeed even more exaggerated in distance compared to ordinary ancient horse year races.

The twenty‑seven‑kilometer distance rather resembles a scaled‑down version of an ancient grassland rally for horses, truly not a pure speed contest.

However…… for those who can be called 'the strongest of all generations' of horse girls, this is still not an unreachable distance.

Although the shortcomings of classic‑year horse girls in long‑distance races also appear in many Dream Cup participants, and that shortcoming is further doubled by this excessively long distance.

But as horse girls who once stood at the pinnacle, surrender and retreat are impossible.

All they can boast about is that this distance makes it too easy to decide their differences.

When the competitive ceiling is raised to this point, even the slightest difference in athletes' quality will be wildly magnified, becoming a gap of at least dozens of horse lengths, or even nearly a hundred.

All of these are possible.

After a career ends, obtaining a once‑in‑a‑thousand‑years comeback opportunity should be great joy, but ending up with such an unprecedentedly large gap should be great sorrow; back and forth between grief and joy, even horse girls who originally had no mindset problems could end up with a serious issue……

Yet not a single player has mentioned this latent risk, so it circulates only among some industry insiders' worries.

The reason for this situation is actually quite simple.

Everyone is very confident!

No one thinks they will become the horse girl who, in the last thirty‑year records, loses by the biggest margin, gets dumped at grandma's house, and even ends up in textbooks!

Even the earlier Ludaofu Xiangzheng and Qianming's representative can be considered quite arrogant—despite not having done proper pre‑race training or wholehearted mental preparation, they still didn't think they would become the most embarrassing star.

These two are already like that; moreover, the Sirius symbol, who has regained confidence in recent victories, and Narita Bai Ren, who proved himself in the midway Dream Cup and early secured the 'exemption from spraying' right, are merely focused on victory, only feeling a subtle concern when they catch a glimpse of Ludaofu.

And that concern has also disappeared today.

Now that things have come to this, they can pursue that miraculous final moment, the stage of brilliance and glory, with a fighting spirit purer than that of the high school division's horse girls!

?? tips：

? Although I still need to take two days off, I think it's not good to take them consecutively.

? Furthermore, given that the plot is stuck there, it's probably better to make another round of recommendations before the final match starts!

? So I'll go back and post another leave request.

? Let number 6 strive for the final Dream Cup. A long journey.
