"This time, I absolutely have to perform well!"
On the training ground, Mejiro Palmer, who had made up her mind this time, naturally did not intend for her first run in front of Kitano Ryuichi to end in defeat. Therefore, she was determined to win this time. She was, after all, a horse girl of the Mejiro family. Although she was rather unremarkable, she had still enjoyed the family's resources.
In terms of bloodline, she had the ancestral stamina advantage of the Mejiro family. In terms of fundamentals, she was a horse girl who had trained with the current pride of the Mejiro family, Ryan and McQueen. There was no way she could be bad.
Thinking this, Palmer became even more obsessed with victory this time. For a moment, her leg strength increased by a few points, and she ran forward with even more effort.
This action made King Halo, who was dutifully following behind with a forward-runner tactic, a little surprised, and she couldn't help but think:
"Didn't she say she was running as a forward? The leg strength of Palmer-san now... is almost catching up to a front-runner, right?"
"Did she get too excited and forget her own pace? Hmph, sure enough, even if she was born in the Mejiro family, she's still just a second-rate horse girl."
King Halo thought with considerable pride in her heart. However, at this moment, she became worried again about Palmer, who was gradually pulling away from her. If the distance between them became too large, then her strategy of conserving stamina as a forward-runner would be ineffective. The wind resistance would reduce her stamina, giving her no advantage.
No choice, it seems I can only keep up...
"Hmm?"
And just at this moment, King Halo and Mejiro Palmer seemed to have noticed something. They saw that at some point, Mihono Bourbon and Rice Shower had quietly caught up. Their pace was very fast, and in an instant, they had caught up with King Halo and Mejiro Palmer.
"Rice Shower-san? Mihono-san?" Palmer was also a little surprised. Why would the two of them suddenly join in? But before she and King Halo could react, they heard a voice from not far away, from Kitano.
"Temporary adjustment!" He saw Kitano, who had gotten a megaphone from somewhere, shouting at the four horse girls on the track:
"Bourbon! You lead with a front-runner tactic! Rice Shower, use a forward style! King-san! You use a chaser's running style!"
"Palmer! Try to keep up with Mihono Bourbon's pace first! Practice with a front-runner's method!"
Although Kitano was also a little surprised why Mihono Bourbon and Rice Shower would suddenly join in, with the two girls' participation, Kitano suddenly felt that this might be more suitable for Palmer to understand her own strengths.
The tactics a horse girl adopts in a race are generally divided into four types: front-runner, forward, chaser, and closer. And now, these four horse girls here, the tactics they were good at already occupied three of the four major mainstream tactics. This was very beneficial for Palmer to understand her own strengths.
Therefore, after seeing Mihono Bourbon and Rice Shower join in, Kitano quickly adjusted the plan, letting Palmer follow Bourbon's pace and feel her advantage in a front-runner tactic, which could help Palmer better understand her own strengths.
And after giving these instructions, Kitano also put down the megaphone in his hand. And by his side, Symboli Rudolf had been quietly waiting by Kitano's side, her gaze fixed on the direction the four girls were running. She seemed very focused, but in reality, she was also intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Kitano, seeming to be thinking about how to close the distance.
Now that she had her past memories, Rudolf was constantly reminiscing about her past time with Kitano—although the current Kitano was only twenty-one years old, for Rudolf, appearance was not important; the inner self was the most valuable.
Besides, Kitano, whether in his middle-aged or youthful period, his appearance had always been his advantage. Rudolf still remembered that in the past, it was because of Kitano's old age that the old geezer Speed Symboli was so against them being together, in order not to tarnish the so-called reputation of the Symboli family, and her prestige as the head of the family...
...Alright, Rudolf had to admit, although she hated this old woman to the point of grinding her teeth, especially after she had the memories of the previous cycle and personally witnessed the experience of Kitano being "forced to death" by the family, she wanted to eat this old hag alive even more.
But, Speed Symboli's words were not completely unreasonable. From the family's point of view, her choice was not wrong. If Rudolf had been willful at that time, what might have followed was the loss of her position as the head of the family, and even a decline in the status of the Symboli family.
To implicate the entire family for one's own selfish interests was of course not a good choice. But, of course, this was not a reason for the family to force her trainer to death.
And now, her beloved trainer had not only returned, but had also unexpectedly joined Tracen Academy at such a young age. Although it seemed that he had become a bit more formidable now, as long as he was still the person she knew, this was a scene that Rudolf was happy to see.
A young Trainer-kun... not to mention that he now seemed to have become more seasoned than in the past. Even if he really had no ability, just Rudolf's current age, which was older than Kitano's, would probably leave that old geezer Speed Symboli speechless this time.
Chapter 48: The Arrival of Sirius Symboli (2/2)
What should I do? How can I get closer to Trainer-kun? Rudolf constantly pondered this question, and finally decided that it would be more natural to start with Kitano's work.
"—Kitano Trainer, with your current eye, who do you think among these four horse girls will be the first to cross the finish line?"
"...It's hard to say. The winning rate of every horse girl is not one hundred percent." And Rudolf's entry point was indeed well-chosen. Even the current Kitano did not notice Rudolf's strangeness, but he seemed to have lost interest in the result of this small race.
"But if I had to guess, I think Bourbon's winning rate is greater, then Rice Shower, King Halo, and finally Palmer."
"Palmer hasn't found her own advantage yet, and even if she does, it won't be something that can be improved in a short while. She is far from being a real horse girl yet. A week's time... it will be difficult for Palmer to catch up with everyone's progress."
Kitano was still very clear about this aspect. The cultivation of a horse girl is definitely not something that happens overnight. Not to mention that Palmer was not the type of a real genius. Even if she was a genius at the level of Tokai Teio, it would be impossible to catch up in a week.
A genius achieving today's achievements is only successful through the accumulation of training in the right direction. Tokai Teio is the best example. She not only has talent, but also knew her own strengths very early on, and had the guidance of a Hall of Fame-level horse girl like Rudolf. With all these combined, it would be strange if she were bad.
And Palmer... from the moment she thought she was good at the forward style, Kitano knew that Palmer's efforts were in the wrong direction. And in a week's time, even if he could help Palmer find her strengths, it would be impossible to catch up with everyone.
"So, Kitano Trainer, you think Palmer has little hope of winning the selection trials?" Rudolf nodded upon hearing this. What Kitano said was not wrong at all, and her heart was also joyful. My trainer seems to have really become more seasoned.
"Since Mejiro Palmer doesn't have much hope, then, Kitano Trainer, after the selection trials are over, will you pull Palmer into the team, or will you follow the results of the selection trials?" Rudolf couldn't help but ask curiously upon hearing this. She also felt that Mejiro Palmer didn't have much of a chance of winning.
In fact, in her opinion, Mihono Bourbon, Rice Shower, and King Halo, whom Kitano was optimistic about, were probably no match for Tokai Teio. Therefore, she was curious whether, after the selection trials were over, Kitano would invite the victorious Tokai Teio as agreed, or choose another horse girl he was more optimistic about out of personal preference.
After all, she could also feel that her trainer, compared to a genius like Teio, obviously preferred the children of commoner origins.
And on this question, Kitano also couldn't help but ponder for a moment. However, when his gaze turned to Mejiro Palmer, who seemed to be losing leg strength because she couldn't keep up with Mihono Bourbon's pace, and the all-out chasing Rice Shower, and King Halo, who was already a bit out of stamina but still didn't give up, after a long while, he said faintly:
"Fairness of course still needs to be maintained, but after maintaining fairness, sometimes it is still necessary to give hardworking children some response."
"—Well said. The child with the best talent can get a reward, and the hardworking child naturally also needs praise. I very much agree with your idea."
And at this moment, the entry of a voice interrupted Kitano and Rudolf's private time. And upon hearing this voice, both Rudolf and Kitano subconsciously turned around, only to see a beautiful woman who looked somewhat similar to Rudolf at first glance, leading Tokai Teio, and had unknowingly approached.
And after seeing the person who came, not only Rudolf, but even Kitano was very surprised. And Rudolf, seeing this, her pupils narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously took a step forward and asked faintly:
"—Sirius, what are you doing here?"
"Just occasionally coming to see our President, and by the way, I heard about an interesting race at Tracen Academy, so I came to see," And the horse girl called Sirius, facing the slightly hostile Rudolf, was still calm and unperturbed. She looked at Kitano Ryuichi by her side with a smile and said to Rudolf:
"It seems that Tracen Academy has found a good trainer again. Just now, what this trainer said really made me agree with him, Emperor."
As Sirius said this, she also approached Rudolf and Kitano step by step. Although her words were directed at Rudolf, her gaze was always fixed on Kitano Ryuichi with great interest. In her pupils, from time to time, a curious light flashed.
Why does this man always make her feel a little uncomfortable? Sirius also found it a little strange. Kitano gave her an extremely strange feeling, a feeling of being both uncomfortable and a little intimate.
And Rudolf, at this moment, was naturally very clear about the reason for this, because she had the memories of that cycle of hers, so she was very wary of Sirius.
She knew very well that in her cycle, this sister of hers, when she was dominating the racetrack, would always take advantage of her absence to make a move on her trainer.
Sirius was the only one in that cycle who had openly pursued her trainer and had even boasted that she would snatch Kitano from her hands, a despicable sister.
