I traveled to the world of Uma Musume and became a trainer at Tracen Academy.
My father was a veteran trainer, and although he retired, I can still be considered a trainer from a family of trainer.
If you combine two good things than you should normally produce something even better. But why did it turn like this?
The previous soul that was controlling this body, committed suicide.
As an ambitious trainer, he wanted to trained a unrivalled Umamusume who could rival his father's last masterpiece, Symboli Rudolf. But he didn't expect that he couldn't even pass the debut.
His Umamusume was stopped before her debut match and was completely unable to advance further.
Kitahara fouth and failed repeatedly, and finally after a year, the Umamusume who fail to make it to her debut race was unfortunately expelled and could never embark on a professional career again.
Tracen Academy, for the sake of Kitahara's father, was willing to give him another chance.
But the Umamusume didn't get one. She left Tracen Academy full of regret.
So he has to found another one that will try to trust him to take her to a G1 race.
But like a curse, Kitahara Hajime has failed once again. The girl, feeling betrayed, humiliated Kitahara before being expelled.
Kitahara's reputation change completely from that moment, from being somewhat positive to biased, even a bit extreme.
Since he suffers two consecutive defeats, Tracen Academy want to fired him. After all there is a limited number of trainer position at the academy. So if you can't achieve results, you should give up your place to someone that could use the position better.
A reasonable response. But when Kitahara received the notice and thought he was fired, he went to Symboli Rudolf hopping that since she was trained by his father, she would protect him.
She agreed and she personally gone to the academy council to secure one lost chance.
And now, this is Kitahara's last chance. If he fails this time, no matter who try to argue. He will be fired.
So, he who is already on the edge of the cliff, frantically searched for any umamusume willing to be trained by him. But his reputation was known to everybody at school and with his appearance of a extreme and obsessed person, no one was willing to trained under him.
What kind of trainer he is if he has no-one willing to trained under him.
Broken by the reality of his situation, Kitahara Hajime returned to his room, look at himself in the mirror, his exhaustion was visible on his face, then look at the picture of him with is father, in which he was full of vigor and good looking.
This deviation from reality made him feeling a little dizzy, and with his last Uma Musume scolding him angrily, he started to question his qualifications has a trainer.
Then you added the suspicious gaze of the horse girls, the scornful expression of his peers, the inability of Rudolf to give the help she want and the impatience of the board...
Why didn't he return home?
Simple, he couldn't face his father, a legendary trainer, in such a state.
His father has trained the legendary triple crown winner, Symboli Rudolf, who won seven G1 races and became a generation-defining existence.
Such a legend was also appointed as the student council president, and such she hold grate power.
Has for Kitahara, he has abandoned two umamusume and he was even spurned by them.
The moonlight was just right, shining brightly inside his house. The dust in the air evoke in is head the thought of death. His dark thoughts break through, making him fall into the abyss of despair.
The previous soul committed suicide by taking a large amount of sleeping pills. Then me, kitahara Ichi, who only played the Chinese version of Uma Musume for about a month, have replaced the original soul.
After reading the original host memories, Kitahara got a headache.
How did a perfect background turn out like this?
It's true that Kitahara Hajime is an incompetent trainer, but he also had no eyes for horses, and his contracted Uma Musume also did lack some obvious talent.
If Kitahara Ichi could contract a famous Umamusume, even if he was has bad has Hajime, he could be carried by her.
At least he won't fail the debut race.
Kitahara originally wanted to borrow his experience from the month of playing the game in his previous life to pick a powerful horse like Oguri Cap or Silence Suzuka, but when he thought about it more, his current reputation becomes a wall.
After all who would want to sigh a contract with someone with his reputation.
Moreover, there is a large number of rival trainers with a shaper vision than him.
How can he compete?
Now Kitahara is regretting not delving deeper into the community, since he doesn't know enough girls. If he could get to know some lesser-known but powerful horse girls, then maybe he could turn things around.
Thinking this way, Kitahara felt he could pack up and leave. He can't compete at all. Since contracting an Uma Musume is difficult, what else can he expect? It would be better to find a job moving bricks at a construction site and make a living.
He then glance at the calendar, where today's date was circled. It was atheday for one of the Uma Musume debut race, and there is probably some that have not yet signed.
Although most are signed before the debut, many are selected during those races. Especially the one who finishes first, it makes them the target of fierce competition among the trainers.
After tidying himself up and making himself look gentle and harmless, Kitahara rode his electrical bike towards the station.
When he arrives at the stadium, the commentator's voice introducing the runners that are entering the stadium.
"Now entering is the most popular racers, Tokai Teio. She is already walking through the stadium gate with a peculiar walk."
"Is this a form of warm-up? This is really worth looking forward to."
It seems that I am not late.
Kitahara put his electrical bike aside and directly rushed into the venue, just in time to see Tokai Teio entering the gate.
Is that Tokai Teio.
Seeing the 3D model becoming a reality and appears before his eyes, Kitahara could not hide his excitement. He grabbed the railing and leaned over, wanting to take a closer look at Tokai Teio.
In is original life, Tokai Teio was handsome with a kind of quirky beauty. At this moment, she entered the gates, filled with vigor and vitality. Followed by the other.
The monitor starts counting down.

The gates open wide.
The girls all rushed out together.
" Okay,now the leader is Little Fruit, who is second in popularity, followed by Tokai Teio."
"Little Fruit is also a player that cannot be underestimated, but isn't she a little too impatient?"
Although this was a 1400 meter of distance, Little Fruit started at full speed. It was hard to believe that she had the endurance to run the entire track at full speed.
Now she is trying to distance herself from Tokai Teio, and she has already created a gap of three horse lengths.
Tokai Teio was not in a hurry, and she kept her own pace.
Soon, they reach the second corner, Little Fruit,who has been leading the race, began to lose energy and slow down significantly.
When the opportunity arrives, Tokai Teio pass Little Fruit and take the lead.
"Oh, Tokai Teio has taken the lead, and Little Fruit is now second. Behind her is Peach Mouse and not far away, watching from the outside is Hercules."
"Ah, Haru Urara is pushing forward in fifth place. This is her third time competing in a debut race. I wonder if she can create a miracle this time."
Once the commentators mentioned Haru Urara, Kitahara reacted and looked towards the famous uncrowned horse.
Kitahara was deeply impressed by Haru Urara. This free-for-all mud horse from the national server was incredible difficult to train. For a Uma Musume player like him, the highest rating he could get was a B-rank. The Haru Urara before him was not much different from the one in game, with pink hair and cherry blossoms in her eyes.
At this moment, Haru Urara was panting, but there was a cheerful smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Ah speaking of Haru Urara it seems her trainer is abandoning her." A trainer near Kitahara said during a conversation.
"There's nothing we can do. That Kojima guy was able to get a contract with Mihono Bourbon. Any normal person would do the same."
"It's said that this is Haru Urara's last chance. If she doesn't make a successful debut today, Kojima will give up on signing her as a backup and simply abandoned her."
"It's not Kojima fault. He has already given her plenty of opportunities. In the world of Uma Musume, results is what matters the most."
"Do you think Haru Urara can make a successful debut today?"
"No way, how could she possibly defeat Tokai Teio?"
While they were talking, Tokai Teio as reach the final corner and she was far ahead of the other.
"Tokai Teio is about to sprint all the while she is about seven or eight length ahead, standing out spectacularly all while taking the lead."
It's a completely different level of strength. It's way too strong."
The commentators were also sighing.
In the end, Tokai Teio won the debut race by a large margin. On her side Haru Urara only manage to get fourth.
A veteran trainer nearby gave a precise assessment of Haru Urara.
"Her speed and endurance are both very low. She is able to complete race at this speed thanks to her perseverance. However as a qualified Uma Musume, shouldn't this commendable perseverance be a basic requirement?"
It's bad, even her greatest strength is rejected.
After the competition, a group of trainers rushed to Tokai Teio and surrounded her in hoping to become her trainer. Kitahara was no exception and squeezed in.
At this moment Kitahara still held a bit of hope and shouted to Tokai Teio: "Excuse me, would you like me to be your trainer?"
But the surrounding cacophony of voice masked his shouted. Then Tokai Teio crossed her arms lift her head, raised her voice and said in her childish voice: "I want to be an Uma Musume just like the president, so ordinary trainers shouldn't bother me anymore!"
Kitahara, who was hit by the AOE, didn't think much of it, but suddenly, his heart skip a beat, and the sentence brought back a memories.
It hit him hard, with is mind in a trance he was squeezed out of the crowd of trainers, and fell to the ground.
"He is Kitahara, Hiroshi's son."
"I thought it was a saying, like father, like son, but I never expected that the son will be nothing like the father."
Several trainers look at him and spoke in frivolous tone. However they soon redirect their focus from him, the loser, to Tokai Teio.
Is it because of the memories of the original Kitahara that I'm feeling a bit lost?
Getting back up, Kitahara dust himself off.
Who called him like his father? Is it to simbolize that he was nurtured by his father? The original Kitahara has been growing up under such a pressure, no surprise for him to be mentally weak.
Tokai Teio turn her head and happened to see Kitahara standing up and leaving. She wants to say something, but she closed her mouth and said nothin. Instead she left the trainers who was pestering her and she walked away.
Kitahara who has given up on signing Tokai Teio, look around for other girls. In the blink of an eye, it was already the afternoon, and the setting sun burned half of the sky.
Kitahara lowered his head somewhat dejected while smiling bitterly.
"No one is willing to sign... uh."
This was understandable, considering the previous Kitahara terrible reputation. And I might not even be has good as the original. After all I only have his memories, I didn't receive any education in this field and my practical experience is almost non-existent. Can I really train an Uma Musume to make a successful debut?
Feeling at lost, I walked to a big tree and I suddenly hear singing coming from somewhere.
Following the sound, Kitahara found a pink hair girl sitting on a rock.
The sunlight shone on her cheerful smile, and her feet swayed, looking extremely beautiful from a distance.
Is this Haru Urara?
Suddenly, her ears dropped, and tears sparkled in her eyes. Soon her face was entirely wet with tears.
She was crying.
"Haru Urara really want to run happily, but... After spring is passed, there will be no way to run happily again."
Haru Urara sobbed and cried out something to the setting sun.
Haru Urara loves the feeling of running, but her talent is really terrible. Compare to other Uma Musume, there is nothing note worthy .
Just like that, her greatest joy was about to be taken away, and from now on, she might never qualified to run on the track again.
Haru Urara who understands all of this, still she kept a smile on her face, as a last act of stubbornness, laughing and crying at the same time.
Looking at this scene, Kitahara was touched. Soon he was moved or perhaps driven by empathy of being in a similar situation, walked to Haru Urara, stopping before her.
Kitahara knelt on one knee and, in front of Haru Urara's surprised gaze, he took her hand.
"Excuse me, miss Haru Urara, are you willing to become my contracted Uma Musume?"
"You know about Haru Urara, right? Even so, are you willing to let Urara running?"
"I will, I will make you run happily forever."
Train you to be the strongest Uma Musume!
Kitahara swore in his heart, and the white clouds in the sky dispersed, the setting sun was no longer blocked, and the last remaining rays of light shone on the two of them, appearing extremely dazzling.
Haru Urara nodded, whipping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled brightly again.
"Urara, I want to keep running happily."
End thus the contract was signed.
