"Seven million seven million seven million, hmm-hmm~" Hakki lay on her bed, her feet propped up, her fingertips sliding back and forth on her phone.
Pure joy, absolute joy! Ever since she learned that she could earn seven million yen just by winning her debut race, Hakki's enthusiasm for training had soared. In addition to her daily prescribed tasks, she would even overcome her lazy self to do extra, blood-pumping training! Although she would be stopped by Kitahara and Zennin Gloria every time and eventually be escorted back to her dorm by Oguri Cap, all the members had now seen Hakki's initiative!
Deep Impact, with a towel still wrapped around her head after just showering, suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, Hakki-san. We start classes tomorrow. The whole day of free training time is over."
It was now March, and Central had officially started its cultural classes. Hearing this news from Deep Impact, Hakki instantly felt like the sky was falling. She had forgotten about this! Even as a horse girl, she had to go to class, study, and do homework!
"Wait! Classes, doesn't that mean there's an 8 AM class?! Classes... training, doesn't that mean there's no time to slack off at all?!" The more she thought, the more terrifying it became. This kind of thing happening to a lovely young girl of high school age... at least her body was! Her entire day was filled with studying and sports, with only a little bit of time for herself at night. This was cutting off Hakki's lifeline!
Deep Impact blinked and nodded in confirmation. "That's right. We still have to learn some experience and knowledge in class. Although some geniuses might be able to understand it on the track themselves?"
Aren't you the genius that most horse girls are jealous of! Hakki grumbled in her heart, but of course she didn't say it out loud. After all, the current Deep Impact was just a little filly who hadn't even decided on her debut race yet. In front of her, she was also just a naive little girl!
"Um, Hakki-san, do you know your class? I'm in 1-B."
"They've already assigned classes?! How come I don't know anything!"
"The academy announced it... don't you pay any attention to the academy's news at all? Um... here it is." Deep Impact took out her phone. The screen displayed the huge Central Tracen horseshoe logo. This was the Central's website, where all major and minor matters of the academy would be announced. You needed relevant credentials to log in. After Deep Impact helped Hakki log in, she found her assigned class, 1-C. The number was quite far back. Although Central assigned classes equally, Hakki's fixed mindset still made her feel that this was a pretty bad class.
Since it had come to this and she couldn't resist the big hand of fate, Hakki chose to go to bed. It wasn't too late yet. She would get enough sleep and try not to fall asleep in class on the first day.
The next day, it was again Deep Impact who dragged Hakki out of bed. Dazed, she got dressed, washed up, grabbed her school bag, ate breakfast at the cafeteria, and then went to the school building she hadn't been to since arriving at Central. They parted ways at the top of the stairs.
"Well then, see you in the training room this afternoon?" Deep Impact waved, smiling goodbye. Before she could finish, another brown-haired horse girl came over and greeted Deep Impact familiarly.
"Deep Impact, good morning. I didn't expect us to be in the same class."
"Uh, that... I'm going to class too. See you this afternoon, Deep Impact." Hakki tactfully left. After all, she felt that this brown-haired horse girl's gaze towards her was a bit abnormal.
The brown-haired horse girl's gaze shifted from the departing Hakki's back to Deep Impact, her eyes raising slightly. "Do you know her?"
Deep Impact's ears twitched. "She's my roommate, Hakki Byakku. But Heart's Cry, I think you just scared her."
Heart's Cry laughed guiltily, her gaze shifting again. She had just stared a little too long because she saw an ash-haired girl... was this horse girl really that sensitive?
For Hakki, it was a panicked escape. Her eyes were glued to the class sign. Although it was only a few steps away, she felt as tired as if she had run a Kikuka Sho. She stumbled into the 1-C classroom. Without caring if seats were assigned, she found a seat in a back corner, and buried her head in her arms.
A decades-old auntie returning to a high school classroom again, this was really happening to her. It was fine to talk to others, but... she still couldn't get used to being a student! To others, she was an ash-haired girl with strange behavior, but in reality, the brainstorm in Hakki's head was quite spectacular. She had even prepared a draft for her self-introduction later.
Although her face was buried in her elbows, her ears were not idle at all, pricked up high to catch the gossip of the surrounding horse girls. It was all about fashion and makeup, a realm that Hakki completely couldn't understand. After all, in her previous life, she was just a laid-back girl who lived day by day, holding the philosophy that every extra day she lived was a win... why would she choose to dress up? Every time she went out, she relied on her good looks...
"Hmm? You're... that horse girl from before? Hakki Byakku?"
"Ah hmm?! That's me!" Suddenly hearing her name, the instinct engraved in Hakki's soul forced her to sit up straight in her seat. She thought it was the teacher, but when she looked closely, it was the horse girl from the day she was caught by Kitahara at the internet cafe. She seemed to be called... "What a coincidence... ahaha, Rhine Industries..."
"It's Rhine Force! So we were assigned to the same class!" Rhine Force's personality was quite cheerful. They had met once before, so Hakki wasn't too bothered by it. But next to Rhine Force stood a horse girl with short blue hair and a thick white blaze, with a golden ring around the base of her left ear. She wasn't sure if it was real gold...
"It is a coincidence... um, is there something you need?" Hakki Byakku, the conversation killer, swallowed nervously. She could feel that this blue-haired horse girl's gaze towards her was also like Super Creek's... even more intense than Super Creek's. But the key problem was that she didn't have that motherly aura that Super Creek had.
"Hello, my name is Cesario. I'm also... Rhine Force's roommate. Please take care of me," the horse girl named Cesario said in a neutral voice. If she changed into men's clothes... it would probably be difficult to tell her gender, of course, after removing the ears and tail.
Hakki nodded reservedly. "Please take care of me..."
At the critical moment, it was the 8 AM class bell that Hakki hated the most that saved her. It seemed that the seats in the classroom were also chosen by themselves. Rhine Force and Cesario also returned to their seats. Hakki let out a sigh of relief, then propped her chin on her hand and stared at the blackboard that could drown her.
The memories of high school suddenly came back to life and wanted to drag Hakki back into the abyss.
