Because the Classic Grade lacked a Triple Crown or Triple Tiara route, Kousei focused on the same goal as McQueen: the Spring Tenno Sho.
However, Kousei's performance in long-distance races was less than ideal. Moreover, her rival, Mejiro McQueen, had already won the Spring Tenno Sho and was aiming to become the first Umamusume in history to dominate the Classic Grade as the strongest long-distance runner of her generation.
From a rational perspective, challenging McQueen seemed l...

"As expected of the Acting Chairman, this training plan is flawless," Trainer T murmured, genuinely impressed as he studied the meticulously crafted training plan.
As mentioned previously, all Umamusume training plans were currently managed by Kashimoto Riko. This was undoubtedly a massive undertaking, yet she hadn't cut any corners. The detailed plan demonstrated her thorough understanding of Kousei's data, meticulously tailored to Kousei's physical constitution and racing style.

Dictus adjusted her glasses. "Actually, Brian-san played a crucial role in the entire operation."
"What role?" Urara asked with wide-eyed innocence.
"Because of Acting Chairman Kashimoto's policies, we couldn't freely enter or leave the Academy. But Brian-san was different. As the Student Council Vice President and a recluse, she perfectly fit Kashimoto's requirements from any perspective.
To hold the party, we needed supplies. Since Brian-san was the only one who could move...

"Just a nosebleed, but..."
"But?"
"But Twin Turbo's heart has some issues. I strongly advise against letting her run as hard as she used to. The strain is too much; if something happens, it'll be too late," Dr. Fujino explained calmly.
Kashimoto Riko frowned deeply, her gaze fixed on Twin Turbo, still unconscious in the hospital bed. A flicker of resolute bitterness flashed in her eyes.

"By 'past,' do you mean... where you used to live?" Qin Yu asked.
"Yes."
Then why not just say "my former home"?
And this invitation was so sudden.
Last time, she took me to meet her master. This time, she's taking me to see where she used to live... Come to think of it, I still don't know how Shenhe joined the Adeptus Sect.
After a moment of silence, Shenhe added, "I really hope you'll agree."

No, I need to calm down. This is ridiculous!
"Aaaah, ooh, uh, bleh..."
It sounded like she was speaking an alien language. Where was the calm she was aiming for?
Shenhe asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
How could you ask me what's wrong? Qin Yu's mood soured instantly upon hearing those words. She blurted out her thoughts without considering m...

Qin Yu hadn't expected to see Shenhe at this hour and froze for a moment in surprise.
It's late at night. What's she doing here?
Does she have some urgent matter to attend to? Qin Yu speculated wildly before blurting out, "Good evening, Shenhe. What brings you here?"
Shenhe replied expressionlessly, "Good evening. I came because I wanted to see you."

After that, Qin Yu and Ningguang reverted to their usual dynamic.
But calling it a "dynamic" was really just returning to their original state of physical contact.
Whether she was in a good mood or a bad one, Ningguang always wanted to touch Qin Yu's face and hair.
After her initial nervousness, Qin Yu noticed that Ningguang was keeping her promise and refraining from overstepping boundaries. This gradually put her at ease.

She had previously suspected the Golden Portal was powered by Seventh-Level or Eighth-Level magic, but now it seemed she had vastly underestimated it. Could this actually be a manifestation of divine power?
While titles like "Holy Maiden," "Angel," "Prophet," and "Teacher of All" sounded impressive, they paled in comparison to the single word "demigod."

Ideals and reality are two entirely different worlds.
While Tokai Teio, her contemporary, was conquering the Classic Triple Crown races, Twin Turbo couldn't even qualify to compete. The "Hero" became Tokai Teio's rival instead.
In Tokai Teio's story, there was no Umamusume named Twin Turbo.
Victory was so rare, and her reckless front-running style was derided as a theatrical performance.

Charging relentlessly forward, she covered the first 1,000 meters in just 56 seconds—a truly blistering pace.
Unrestrained and pushing her speed to the absolute limit, this was the visual spectacle only a true Front-Runner could deliver.
Her lead was far from secure; her speed continued to climb.
