Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Taiki Shuttle! The King of the Mile!

Xu Zong was now leading the members of Spica to the Kyoto Racecourse. And he had to say, the atmosphere here was extremely electric. Even though this race was only the GIII Shinzan Kinen, the venue was packed with countless fans. Xu Zong sighed. The city of Kyoto, surrounded by mountains, was indeed not as prosperous as Tokyo, but the passion for horse girls was absolutely unparalleled. If a major stakes race like this was so crazy, then the GI Spring Tenno Sho would be even more exciting.

After arriving, Xu Zong, along with Spe-chan, McQueen, and the others, went to their seats. They all sat together, with Xu Zong in the middle and the members of Spica on either side. After sitting down, Xu Zong saw Taiki Shuttle. She was currently in the paddock. Taiki was still incredibly enthusiastic. Just seeing her made you feel that this girl was too cheerful. She kept smiling and waving, thoroughly enjoying the feeling. Many spectators also cheered excitedly when they saw Taiki Shuttle.

"There are a total of 16 horse girls competing today. Taiki is in gate 13, that's not very good luck," Xu Zong said, taking a look. The paddock presentation was in order of gate position, and the race commentator would introduce the horse girls in the paddock, including their previous results and their popularity in today's Shinzan Kinen.

And Taiki Shuttle, without a doubt, despite drawing the wide outside gate 13 for this Shinzan Kinen, still took the top spot in popularity with a large lead in the betting. It was clear that countless people now had great confidence in Taiki Shuttle's ability in the mile.

And in the paddock, Taiki Shuttle herself didn't care about this. In her own words, no matter what gate she was in, she would use her "Powerful" strength to knock everything out of her way. Man, she was confident.

At this time, she was also waving to the stands. Her eyes lit up when she saw Xu Zong and the others, and she waved even more enthusiastically. This cowboy, laughing and jumping, was still incredibly cute.

"Wow, Trainer-san, look, look, Taiki is waving at us! Waaaah, that's so touching," Spe-chan said cutely, waving happily, her eyes shining. Ever since she came to Tracen, this was the first time she had gone to watch a race with the members of Spica, which gave her a very reassuring sense of belonging. Thinking about it, everyone in Spica was very good to her. The trainer would buy her bread, McQueen would comfort her, Suzuka would occasionally check if she was lost, and Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka often encouraged her and helped her with her homework. She couldn't help but think to herself, Waaaah, Mom, it's so great to be able to latch onto the members of Spica.

And Spe-chan was also encouraging herself internally. She had to work hard too. That child named Equinox said she would come to Spica in the future, right? Then she must act as a senior and give her some help. For example, with her studies... ahem, let's forget about studies. It would be better to prepare a lot of carrots that Equinox can't finish.

Man, Spe-chan still couldn't forget her carrots. Whether it was planting carrots, pulling carrots, or eating carrots, she was very good at it, as if she were born to do it. What was this called? A congenital carrot saint.

And at the same time, Spe-chan also had her own goal, which was to defeat the "Great General of Japan" in Trainer Xu Zong's diary. If she defeated the Great General of Japan, then she could also say that she was the number one horse girl in Japan, right? Spe-chan's expression became determined for a moment.

"So... so cool, Taiki Shuttle-senpai. I want to have that kind of confidence in the face of a big crowd too," Vodka said with admiration.

"Yeah, she never gets stage fright. That's one of Taiki Shuttle's strengths. If it were Mejiro Dober, she would probably be huddled in a corner, feeling like she shouldn't have been born in this world," Xu Zong said mercilessly. And what he was saying was not wrong. Mejiro Dober was a major introvert. If she were standing here now, she would probably be standing as straight as a toy, not daring to move.

And at this moment, in the Tracen library.

Mejiro Dober was still drawing. She suddenly shivered, feeling like someone was talking bad about her. Waaaah, I'm so frustrated right now. How can I not be nervous in a crowd? She didn't know why she was so afraid of crowds. In reality, she didn't know that the culprit was that damn Bright-nii.¹³

Back to the race.

Xu Zong also started writing in his diary.

[Haha, finally made it to the Kyoto Racecourse. I can't help but want to send the "so many people" sticker!]

[Even though it's a GIII race, the Kyoto Racecourse is indeed magnificent. The pre-race show was good, they even invited a symphony orchestra to perform on the stage before the race.]

[This stage will also be the winner's stage later, right? It's really big. I wonder how much a square meter costs.]

[If I sold Spe-chan, could I get a few square meters?]

[Hahaha.]

Xu Zong updated his log, and soon his log content appeared in front of many horse girls. Of course, Xu Zong's log was very smart. It wouldn't appear for horse girls who were about to race. They would see it later. But even though Spe-chan and the others were right next to Xu Zong, the log would still appear, but Xu Zong wouldn't find out. So, Special Week was now opening the log to read.

And Spe-chan was still very happy at the beginning, but after seeing the last part, she was stunned.

"S... sell me?" Spe-chan took it seriously again for a moment. She felt that Trainer Xu Zong was too mean, actually using her to get money. Waaaah.

Man, Spe-chan was indeed a dummy to believe that. Daiwa Scarlet was also speechless. She comforted Spe-chan and also felt that Trainer Xu Zong was a big pig, just spouting nonsense in his log. So shameless. She turned her head and looked at Xu Zong. This guy was also calm and composed on the surface. She was so angry, but she still had to keep a smile on her face. But in her heart, she wanted nothing more than to climb on Xu Zong's head and give him a model student headbutt. Man, Daiwa Scarlet was also possessed by the spirit of the hammer. Hmph, he'd better not give me a chance.

At this time, at Tracen Academy, a group of people were also at a loss. Trainer Xu Zong was too good at spouting nonsense.

The next moment, Xu Zong's log updated again.

[But it was strange just now. I think I saw someone I know. Was it Mejiro Ryan?]

[It doesn't seem to be her. If it were her, she would have come to say hello, right?]

[She is McQueen's opponent in the Spring Tenno Sho.]

[Her hair is really unique. I wonder if it would look better if she let it down?]

[Wow, no more talking, the race is about to start. Time to watch Taiki's race.]

At this time, Mejiro Ryan saw the diary and was so shy. She had indeed come over, but she was too embarrassed to say hello for a moment. She knew she didn't need to hide, but she also had her own way of fighting. She would not lose the Spring Tenno Sho.

"By the way, Trainer Xu Zong, when you say my hair is unique, that's a polite way of saying it, right? Does the literal meaning mean that my hairstyle is ugly? Honestly." Mejiro Ryan was indeed a young girl. Seeing these words, she also muttered to herself. But in the end, she stopped thinking about it. She would just assume that Xu Zong said she was pretty. She actually had a cute side.

And amid the cheers of the crowd, the passionate shouts of the commentator, accompanied by the 16 horse girls entering the starting gate, reached a climax.

[Everyone, welcome to watch this race.]

[The horse girls have already begun to enter the starting gate, and the race is about to begin. Who will be the shining star of this race?]

[Let's look forward to it.]

After the commentator finished speaking, everyone cheered.

[You can see that under the dazzling sunlight, the condition of the Kyoto racecourse is "good."]

[Without a doubt, this kind of weather will allow the horse girls to perform at 100% of their ability.]

[However, under these conditions, the ground also appears relatively dry. To cope with such a 1600-meter ground, it is a great test of whether the contestants can produce enough power.]

[It can be said to be a contest of strength and speed.]

[In this race, the 3rd most popular is No. 12, Lunar Leap.]

[The 2nd most popular is Firelight Star.]

[And the horse girl waiting majestically for the race to start is today's most popular—Taiki Shuttle!]

[Taiki Shuttle's compatibility with the mile is also extremely high. I hope she can have a wonderful performance in this Shinzan Kinen.]

[Let's look forward to this sparkling race!]

[All horse girls have now entered the starting gate, and the race is about to begin!]

And as they spoke, everyone became nervous. But Taiki Shuttle was very excited. In the starting gate, she made a running motion, her expression incredibly confident. She wasn't flustered at all. In short, just do it.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the heart-pounding starting gun sounded. All the gates opened at the same time, and the sixteen prepared horse girls almost all burst out with power in an instant, like arrows leaving a bowstring, and rushed out. The initial positioning was also extremely important, as it determined whether you could get a good position.

However, Taiki Shuttle was on the outside, and her initial fight for position had no advantage. But this cowboy from the west was not in a hurry. Instead, she used her powerful legs to grind her way in, controlling her speed and moving into the leading group. After a brief period of positioning, they formed different groups. The front-runners were in the first group, the leading group was in the second group, the third group was the chasers, and the very back was the closers. However, this was a mile race, and the number of closers was extremely small. A 1600-meter race didn't have much room to chase.

And Taiki Shuttle had obviously taken a favorable position. Not only did she move into the leading group, but she also gradually controlled the inside line. For a horse girl like her who was full of power, this position was very suitable for her. What she had to do was run past the outside corner and then burst out to win!

And the commentator's voice was constantly ringing.

[The initial battle has been completed!]

[Except for No. 3, Phantom Guard, who surprisingly chose to lead by a large margin, the rest have all adopted their original running styles.]

[No. 12, Lunar Leap, is chasing closely behind, aiming for Phantom Guard.]

[We are about to enter the middle stage. The ups and downs of the Kyoto racecourse and the wide outside track, this is nearly 600 meters long. After that is the 400-meter final straight. How will they deal with it and what kind of running style will they adopt?]

At this time, everyone was also staring intently, looking forward to the follow-up.

Xu Zong was also taking notes. He also knew that the Kyoto racecourse had the most exaggerated outside track length. For a horse girl, this distance was often the most crucial point in determining the winner. Whether a horse girl had sufficient skills for ups and downs, and when to accelerate and exert force, were all crucial. He was now also using his thoughts to write in his diary and summarize his experience.

And Xu Zong's own judgment was that in that up and down section, a big brawl was about to begin. But perhaps, Taiki Shuttle was not among them. Her leg strength was probably enough to end the race right there.

And at this moment, on the racecourse.

The sixteen horse girls also successively ran to the wide outside track of the Kyoto racecourse.

Phantom Guard, as a front-runner, was already starting to feel dizzy. She seemed to realize that she was about to run out of steam, but she didn't care. A satisfying run was a victory. In any case, whether she won in the end or not, you had to admit that she ran fast.

However, No. 12, Lunar Leap, really wanted to win. The surrounding scenery retreated step by step, and her speed became faster and faster. She felt that she could win, that she could defeat Taiki Shuttle. What first place? Watch her counter-attack!

"Haaah!!!!!" No. 12, Lunar Leap, roared, her steps quickening. At the same time, she kept a close eye on Taiki Shuttle. Right here, she would stick with her, and then rely on her own strength to overtake her in the final straight. This was her strategy!

However, she did not yet know that there was a chasm-like gap between her and Taiki Shuttle. As Xu Zong said, Taiki Shuttle didn't need any strategy on the ups and downs. Her terrifying leg strength, that overflowing terrifying power, was her winning weapon.

Taiki Shuttle took a step forward, and her terrifying power caused the turf to fly. She was almost unaffected, but instantly rushed out, beginning to pull away from the others and move to the very front.

"She... how can she still accelerate? This... this is impossible!" Lunar Leap's heart trembled. she had never encountered such a situation. But she still gritted her teeth and wanted to try to follow. After all, if Taiki Shuttle could do it, she felt that she could too.

And in fact, her strategy had been completely disrupted. This was a sign of not being calm enough. But her mentality was understandable. It was like a person with strong self-esteem being crushed in front of everyone, extremely unwilling, and having to see the other person's true strength.

But she would soon understand. The gap between Taiki Shuttle and her was not in the same dimension. Her legend, her peak, was just beginning!

Taiki Shuttle was the king of the mile.

And at this moment, the commentary booth also discovered that something was wrong. Damn, Taiki has gone into overdrive, hasn't she? They also immediately exclaimed in surprise.

[What happened?! Taiki Shuttle's speed is being maintained very well. The expected big brawl has already appeared, but Taiki Shuttle has broken through the siege. Is she accelerating early? Or is it that her leg strength is far from being exhausted!]

[Has she drawn her gun? Has she drawn her gun? The cowboy of the west, Taiki Shuttle, has taken the lead!]
