The first swimming training session was taken down by both cramps and rheumatism. Hakki Byakku, paralyzed on her bed again and being cared for by Deep Impact, did not feel the freedom of life, but rather felt uncomfortable all over.
She had been enjoying Deep Impact's care with a clear conscience, but that single-page-family-tree system suddenly popped up and, for some reason, completed a phased mission.
[Enjoying being cared for like a useless person is pretty good, isn't it! Perhaps you can continue in this direction?]
[Useless Horse Girl Development Plan, Phase 1: Being cared for without doing anything for three days. Complete.]
[Reward: Power increased to G+, Ash-Hair trait specialized.]
"?"
On her deathbed, she sat up with a start. Hakki grabbed her tail and, ignoring the pain, plucked a hair and held it in her palm. Her already ash-colored hair was now even whiter. Perhaps it shouldn't even be called ash-hair anymore. Little White Horse would be more appropriate. Deep Impact had left for class, but when she returned to the dorm, she would suddenly find that her roommate of one day had suddenly become even more ash-colored. How could she explain this inexplicable event!
"Wait, my power increased to G+. What was my original power?" Hakki realized belatedly. It must have been ridiculously low, right?!
[Host's Current Stats are as follows]
[Speed: D]
[Stamina: G]
[Power: G+]
[Guts: G]
[Intellect: S]
[Held Skills: Frontrunner, Concentration, Positioning Sense]
[Current Status: Rheumatism (Stamina training effect down, not good in rainy or snowy weather), Frailty (All training effects -15%)]
[Training Bonus: Speed +30%]
Well, damn. This was like some ancient 3G horse girl. Hakki almost fainted. The stats looked hopeless at a glance, and there was even a "rainy day out" debuff. What surprised her even more was that her degenerated college student's knowledge reserve could actually be reflected as an S in the horse girl's stats. As expected, you couldn't expect athletes to be that smart.
But the skill set was decent, at least it matched her current belief in sprinting. But when did she learn these things? Was it a natural advantage of the human soul? A focus superior to that of horse girls from birth... that seemed like a reasonable explanation. Hakki didn't remember ever having learned skills... so how did these things manifest? Did she not notice because she had never truly competed against other horse girls before?
She thought her life was about to take off, but now after seeing her stats, it was Mamba out. With these stats, even if she trained to death, she wouldn't be able to reach a normal debut level, right...? Even if her speed and intellect were high, they couldn't make up for her weak power when fighting for position after the gate opened, or her inability to sustain long races due to her stamina! In the world of horse girls, the phrase "strength makes right" was truly universal.
"So annoying! Hnghhh!" Hakki vented by hitting the innocent blanket, almost smashing her head against the wall.
Her life of eating carrots, humming songs, streaming in her dorm, and playing games with her online friends for donations had been so abruptly interrupted. The little train of her happy life had instantly derailed. It was suffocating.
Hakki jumped out of bed and put on her bright red tracksuit. Since this dog system couldn't stand to see her enjoy herself, she had to rise up! Anyone could slack off, but recovering from a state of slacking off to being fired up was the hard part!
"Alright, let's work hard towards financial freedom! After debuting, I'll only participate in races with high prize money... As for the pressure, let Kitahara handle it herself!" Hakki schemed in her heart, tied her shoelaces, and dashed out of the dorm.
Since she had learned her weaknesses from the system, she should start to make up for them. But the only recognized stamina training at Tracen now was swimming, so Hakki was wondering if she could use human methods to train herself as a horse girl. For example, aerobic exercises like cycling... that should be possible, right?
Lost in thought, Hakki didn't pay attention to the obstacles in front of her while jogging. She had originally thought that since it was class time, there wouldn't be any horse girls wandering around campus, but at this moment, a special case horse girl who didn't have to attend classes appeared.
Thwack!
Hakki's small body slammed into the lab coat in the middle of the road, and she was sent flying back, her butt hurting from hitting the concrete. She reached back to rub her tailbone, hissing in pain. "Hiss, it hurts, it hurts..."
"Hmm? What a pure hair color~" The person who was hit didn't first think about the fact that she had been hit, but instead became concerned with Hakki's extremely pure ash-grey hair. Even though she had seen countless horse girls, it was the first time that Agnes Tachyon, in her white lab coat, had encountered such a pure ash-grey. Perhaps she would be an excellent guinea pig.
"Eh? Hair color... wait... eek!!" It's Agnes Tachyon! Quack!! That crazy mad scientist! Hakki forgot about the pain. Her body was propped up by her stiffened tail, standing frozen on the spot.
"A... Ag... Ag..." Nervous. From the fanfics Hakki had read, Agnes Tachyon was always the provider of some terrible ideas. Now that she had run into her in person, that stereotype directly took control of her already small brain.
Agnes Tachyon rubbed her chin with interest. "Agnes Tachyon. Are you... a new student this year?" It had to be the new student option, because Agnes Tachyon knew almost all the horse girls at Tracen who had already debuted.
"Ye... yes! I still have training, so I'll be leaving first... I'm very sorry for bumping into you just now, Senior Agnes Tachyon. I apologize!" After bowing 90 degrees three times in a row, Hakki had just lifted her foot to run when she was grabbed by Agnes Tachyon. She wanted to struggle a little but found that her hand was held as firmly as a steel clamp.
As expected of the phantom horse girl who easily won the Satsuki Sho undefeated... but why was she targeting me! I just bumped into her...! Hakki was screaming in her heart, but could only accept the reality.
"Senior Agnes Tachyon...?"
"Hmm? It's nothing. I just suddenly succumbed to the horse girl's genetic instinct. There's a lot of data showing that horse girls are naturally closer to ash-haired horse girls, as if ash-haired horse girls are more affable, or rather... the horse girl's genes carry an affinity for ash-hair," Agnes Tachyon explained, letting go of her hand. But to Hakki, this sounded like nonsense... But thinking about the white hair that was specially supplied to Chinese people in her previous life, what Agnes Tachyon said didn't seem to be a problem?
"Then can you let me go... if I'm late for training... my trainer will scold me..." Hakki put on a pitiful act. She could only wrong Kitahara a little. After all, Hakki really wanted to escape from Agnes Tachyon's clutches as soon as possible!
Agnes Tachyon scanned Hakki with a scrutinizing gaze, the corners of her mouth rising in a strange arc. She chuckled lightly. "Ara, do you want to become taller and more powerful?"
Thump-thump!
Although she knew this was Agnes Tachyon trying to trick her into becoming a guinea pig... although Agnes Tachyon's potions were full of unknowns... but... but no one could predict Agnes Tachyon's possibilities!
Hakki admitted, she was attracted to the condition of growing taller! Who the hell likes being a little loli! She wanted to be tall, with a good figure!
