Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [94]

No one anticipated this sudden twist.

Nokiribi never expected Sora to resort to such a move.

Nokiribi knew its flames could burn anything on contact, which was precisely why it had chosen swordsmanship as their battleground.

The opponent’s sword skills were formidable—so formidable that Nokiribi found it hard to believe a mere human, lacking any special power, could wield such techniques.

The suffocating pressure from Sora’s swordplay even briefly transported Nok...

Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [93]

From the very start, Sora had been aiming for one thing only.

His target was the masked faceplate of the opponent before him. Every maneuver he'd made so far had been precisely for this purpose.

Every dodge, every feint had been calculated to bring him within striking range.

And now, after carefully choreographing his every move, he'd finally achieved his goal.

Brandishing [Ixa Calibur] in his hands, his enemy’s faceplate was mere inches away.

Zieltworth.

Known as the pure white medical planet, it was also called the Cradle of Rebirth.

This place was like a cradle granting second chances at life. Anyone could gain a second birth here.

But now, the cradle was engulfed in flames of war.

Gigantic weapons fired civilization-destroying beams and missiles toward the silvery-white figures weaving through the sky.

Yet, even these cataclysmic strikes couldn’t touch the shimmering white warriors.

They do...

Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [91]

The ground began to tremble violently. Robin’s gaze immediately darted outside.

Countless silvery-white figures soared through the sky, flames bursting from their forms as they glittered like fireflies illuminating the heavens.

Their target was this planet’s true master—Zieltworth’s ruler, Serus.

The very enemy who had performed countless horrific experiments on them for centuries.

Yet Serus, as an inorganic lifeform whose consciousness had long been uploaded, ...

So, what comes next?

Answer: The Dancing King of Gotham.

This strangely abstract phrase was the first thing that sprang to Gotham Song’s mind.

Of course, Dancing Brave couldn’t possibly have known her internal musings. The legendary Uma Musume, upon hearing that Gotham Song had accepted Daiichi Ruby's invitation, wasted no time. The very next day she dragged Gotham Song out to purchase a perfectly tailored, form-fitting tailcoat suit.

Seeing that stylish w...

In the end, Mejiro McQueen did not invite Gotham Song back to Mejiro Manor again.

Instead, as dusk began to fall, the young lady of the Mejiro family invited Gotham Song to a stylish café in the shopping district, seating themselves face-to-face.

Clearly, Mejiro McQueen had something formal to discuss, and Gotham Song instinctively matched her seriousness.

What could it be?

Just what does McQueen want to talk about...?

“You'll be entering the...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [68]

Gotham Song visibly froze for a brief instant.

However, having weathered countless dramatic moments, this abrupt and peculiar way of addressing her wasn't enough to make Gotham Song expose a fatal slip-up.

She quickly regained composure, smoothly adopting a puzzled expression.

“Ruka-san...? Um, are you referring to me, Brave-san? Surely, that was just a slip of the tongue.”

Dancing Brave remained silent, simply observing the small figure before her with an amused s...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [67]

Advantage? Did it ever even exist?

Have you forgotten your lesson from the Yasuda Kinen already? Did you really think that leading at the beginning of the race meant you had enough strength to challenge me?

Fine. If that’s truly what you believe, then face me head-on.

Let Gotham Song show you what true strength is.

Twin Turbo continued to run single-mindedly, while Daitaku Helios struggled desperately behind her. Clearly, she'd alr...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [66]

This time, Gotham Song wasn’t as brazen as she had been during the Yasuda Kinen.

At least, she didn't start off by making a throat-slitting gesture.

Yet, even without that provocation, she exuded an intimidating aura strong enough to silence the entire audience.

Although some foreign spectators cheered loudly, briefly disrupting the uneasy stillness, the atmosphere at the racetrack remained subdued.

Strange, wasn't it?

If something like this was happening, it m...

Takarazuka Kinen, Hanshin Racecourse—2200 meters, right-turning.

Within Japan, it was undeniably a prestigious race. Perhaps slightly overshadowed by the year-end Arima Kinen, but even that depended on who you asked.

Moreover, domestically was one thing—internationally, the Takarazuka Kinen currently held a significantly higher reputation.

After all, Takarazuka had officially stepped onto the international stage, leaving Arima Kinen far behind in the global racing scene....

Gotham Song fled in defeat.

As soon as training ended, she vanished from Dancing Brave’s sight like a gust of wind. She even had the sense that if she’d moved a single step slower, her former rival would’ve grabbed her shoulder from behind—

Yo~! Long time no see! Let me have a good look at what you've become, shall we? Come now, be a good girl and let Brave-nee check you over!

...Well, perhaps things wouldn't actually become that absurdly abstract, but in an...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [63]

The Takarazuka Kinen was fast approaching, but for Dancing Brave, it wasn't particularly significant. Her main reason for coming to Japan had already been fulfilled. While everything else was undoubtedly important, they were more like side objectives now.

But of course, even then, the legendary Dancing Brave would still give her absolute best. After all, taking things seriously was her style.

On a quiet training ground near Tokyo Racecourse…

Though Dancing Brave would’ve...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [62]

Gotham Song had the distinct feeling Mejiro Ramonu was implying something deeper, almost like she was plotting something.

Or rather, this person before her had clearly confirmed certain truths in her heart, methodically testing and encircling unknown aspects, slowly closing in like vines, wrapping around, and—

Searching for the truth.

But…did Gotham Song really have any other choice? Could she even afford to run away?

Returning to Japan had been about verifying the...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [61]

Gotham Song had never once felt joy during Open Campus Day.

How to describe her current mood? It was probably something like not daring to speak, yet also unable to remain silent.

But why on earth was this happening? She was already a classic-year Uma Musume!

Yet, compared to the girl standing in front of her, she was utterly defeated in height. She had completely lost in stature, and alongside it, strength as well—

At the moment Satono Diamond circled around and fir...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [60]

One week had passed since Yasuda Kinen.

Yet Gotham Song’s popularity continued soaring relentlessly. Even the URA’s attitude had shifted noticeably—

Initially, they'd treated her like a dilapidated house, thinking one good kick might knock her down. But now it had evolved into confident ridicule:

Don't worry, everyone. By the next race, this arrogant foreigner will reveal her true colors. Her sprint-specialization luck has run dry; just wait until the mid-distance ...
