Chapter 62 - Welcome to New Zealand: Part 2

Author's Note: I am not an editor or a professional writer. I will write this and edit it to the best of my ability. I also do not own Uma Musume, which is owned by Cygames. Watch the animes and read the mangas, for they are pretty good. Finally, please enjoy.

League Founder: ??? POV:

I awoke today in a cold sweat as I had a nightmare about the past. I remember it all the cold and distant upbringing meant to polish us into diamonds. We were a rich family who founded and ran the Noble Racing League. A league built up with the greatest bloodlines and noble families from around the world race. The motto might as well have been, ' Racing is a blood sport, peasants are just audience to greatness.'

Still, even with the money and posh I knew the truth. The league was heavily into gambling, and they didn't fix matches but they set the betting favorites to win with ease. Plus with the ability to decide who could race in which tournament and their current status, it was easy to script victories and defeats. The scene was becoming stale and I wanted to fix the league my father created. Still, our family decides the heir by choice not birthright, meaning the elders, my father, and the branch heads decide who the heir is.

They do that by choosing the best of the family, but it's usually the best sons in the main family thanks to bias. Regular daughters weren't even given a chance, and Uma Musume daughters were put as athletes to gain fame and glory for the family not run it behind the scenes. That's why it was only between me and two of my brothers for the leadership role. My older brother who was more progressive, but reckless, believed in his wild and unproven ideas which even I saw were reckless and dangerous. Then there's my younger brother more conservative, no ambition, and wants to turn the company to make cash not risk, but his thinking would drive the league into stagnation and failure.

I on the other hand wanted to keep what worked, change what didn't, and make the league greater outside of gambling. I wanted the league to become greater and more profitable without gambling becoming a crutch. The Election Day came and my younger brother was chosen unanimously. I finally realized how corrupt the league has become, and my older brother who was enthusiastically boasting his foolish ideas was calmer than I thought. We brothers were close so we didn't argue the results, but my curiosity ate at me as to why they would allow this much corruption and stagnation to continue.

I looked for my older brother to talk and in his room I only found a note saying," Second Drawer to the left." He didn't return alive after. I soon investigated and remembered the note and in that drawer was a false bottom and there I found a treasure trove of clues as to what happened to him. It was a Gold Family and we got in the way of their operations. I soon found out how deep the rabbit hole goes, they controlled the elders, the branch family, as well as the police.

They even had my father under their thumb and soon my younger brother. I told him about it, but that led to me being shot off a cliffside and barely surviving. That was the day I received my first of three bullets they shot me with. I didn't even see who shot me off, but I now knew no one in the family was pure. That day I decided three things: one, I will build a league that will surpass the Noble Racing League; two, I will build a business empire that cannot be easily challenged by the underworld, and three I will build a team to hunt down and destroy the Gold Family Mafia and their beneficiaries.

It's been a quarter of a century since then, and leadership has changed within the underworld with some help from me of course. Now my league FSRL is now equal and has rivaled the noble racing league for a decade. Both are doing moves to try to cripple or kill the other. It shows Japan is still blocked off, we're still warring in the USA, and Europe has been split in half. Still the Middle East, South Pacific, Africa, South America, and parts of North America are ours.

They still don't know it's me after all this time, as I'm either disguised or wearing a mask in my public appearances. Many things have happened to me I even have an Uma Musume daughter in Tresen I just hope that Seiun brat keeps her promise and protects her. She got there early even being called the girl genius. I'm so proud of her, and hate that I can't be with them. Still, I have to live until she grows up, as I've been training her to be my successor when I die even if she hasn't realized it yet.

I got out of bed soon enough and my most trusted attendants came and after my preparations were completed the lead attendant handed me my duties today. She soon spoke saying," Good morning Sir Arthur Crownly, today on our agenda we will head to Wellington to inspect our organizers in the area and check on the state of the minor scene. All in disguised of course one as an audience member and as your public persona Red Bloomberg as well. Then once that is complete we will have a protected call with your family and finally we fly to Argentina for the Buenos Aires Super Major as it is one of the top events we have this year." I responded," Good let's be off, now who am I today?"

She responded," Today you're the FSRL fanboy from Australia named Phillip Maxwell. You're very socially awkward but a huge fan of the scene." I nodded in response as the disguise was on me. I soon went out as first up was the inspection of the region. I went to a cafe in Wellington and soon my spy had arrived, I had her gather intel on the region and hand me the data as a waitress.

Soon I inserted the flash drive hidden on my plate into my laptop there I saw the problems and rotten apples in my league. I also saw the best my league has behind the scenes. Then with a few bottom presses lives have been turned upside down. Soon it was time to go to the stadium. There I saw everything working as intended, and soon I met up with my attendant earlier, but dressed like a nerdy civilian fan girl.

Also passing by was the limousine of my double who had just finished distracting tournament management. He was there to gather info and make my appearance hard to locate. We all soon entered and we got balcony MVP passes looking like a bunch of prize seat winners. They all began announcing team names as my attendant was filling me in on the info of what's happening in the local Opens and how one person has been dominating every race like a peppy fan girl. I even responded like an excited fanboy, but that's when they came in.

The first thing I heard that got my interest was their name as the announcer announced," Now give a Wellington welcome to our league's first ever team from Japan, to the Bloody Broncos!" That was interesting a team formed from a country that I knew the Noble Racing League had on lock was an unusual sight. Plus their name it made me ask my assistant out of character," Hey what's a bronco?" She responded," Looking it up sir... I mean bruv I found a message saying, A bronco is a breed of Uma that is known to be wild, untamed, free, and sure-footed. They even followed it up by saying Bronco means to buck meaning if you try to tame them they'll fight until one of you is broken.

That's interesting I never knew there were different breeds of Uma, and how anyone discovered that is a real mystery. They then came out and every one of them had masks on completely covering their faces as well as wore gloves to leave no fingerprints. They were all hiding their identities which was obvious to everyone as their names were just either Captain, Vice Captain, or Agent combined with a fancy color. I asked my assistant," Why are they hiding their identities?" She responded," Oh yeah nothing seems to come to mind but then I saw that they seem to have requested a victory stage if they win the tournament which the league allows."

I see I allowed it to exist in my league for two reasons one to allow others to express themselves artistically messing with the Pop Cult and two, cause my daughter loved them in Japan. With their look and disguises, I knew they weren't here to sing Pop songs. Plus they put up the money so there was no problem, so now they just had to earn the right. That's when my assistant told me," Also it seems they're broadcasting this online in Japan only, should they be stopped?" I then spoke saying," Nah bruh, the FSRL should be seen in places it's not like Japan."

She nodded understanding my order to allow it and I saw her sending out the order. I looked at each of their members first was their Captain was Captain Primrose she had the presence of a leader who worries over their team. Their Vice Captain, Vice Captain Cobalt, is caring and patient like a proper support to the captain. Next was Agent Ash, who seems to be the brains of the group with a cunning presence to her. Then there was Agent Ruby a person with charisma oozing from them that can convince anyone of anything, heck if she told me it was raining tomorrow and I saw it wasn't on the weather app I would still bring an umbrella.

After is Agent Amber a tall ladylike Uma Musume covered in discipline, but I sense a familiar danger from. I know this feeling like the dangerous presence I felt from being around the Gold Family Mafia. Their matriarch is Golden God, and the first child of the family is the tactical killer herself Nightmare End. The second child the Hangman Shark, Cruel Break, the third, and the golden heir the perfect ender Peerless Khan. Then there's the youngest the Strategic Blade herself, Dark Justice.

That's when I remembered the one that sent chills down my spine, the child that went missing months ago. The fourth child, the perfect killing machine The Walking Death, Great Wonder. I snapped out of my memories looking again at the Broncos. Those five were obviously the leaders of the team using my experience with the behaviors of people. I then see their tallest member Agent Rain, strong but I see an athlete built on hard work and not talent, I wanna see what she can do.

Moving on to the ace of the team Agent Crimson, and she looked like a dominant force looking to hunt down opponents. After is Agent Magenta, whom my attendant recognized saying," Bro, it's her the one dominating the Open tournament scene." She seemed bored from the look of it and I bet she might be wanting to step up from open tournaments. Next is Agent Ivory someone who has an attitude with a cute look, and could look like a cocky talent. After is Agent Azure the face of the team they were obviously selling to the audience, and she looked decent too.

After that is Agent Ebony who was a complete mystery only seeing her armband that she's the music expert in the group. You gotta have a musician in the group I guess, but she gotta be good to make the team right? I moved on and next was Agent Celeste who looked like she had been hit hard with no regrets while looking like a pretty princess. Damn, that's not fair, how can you look heavenly while also sending bitches to hell? Up next is Agent Mint, who, by just looking at her I knew she was a genius.

Like bro, I've seen enough geniuses in my life to know what they look like and she has that look saying I don't need to tell you I'm a genius I already know I am. After her is Agent Viridian who felt like an uncontrollable force that's also no one can hold. She felt like absolute freedom with a conscience yet also being absolutely beautiful. I just know she can do crimes and no one will put her in prison no wonder they're also putting her as a team star. After her is the last girl Agent Chestnut and pun intended she was nuts.

She was already being crazy hyperactive and things hadn't started yet. She feels like crazy waiting to unleash its full potential. With this roster, I can see a crazy year ahead if they're any good. The race began and everyone watched as all of them competed. Soon the crowd and both announcers screamed in shock.

One saying," Oh, WHAT THE FUCK!" While the other screamed," What did I just witness!" The crowd was in awe and my attendant and I were speechless. I then spoke to her saying," Velvet, this year is going to be amazing." She smiled and responded," I can't wait, sir." We knew this year was going to be amazing
