"Well, look at that—murdering a witness in broad daylight to silence him!"
"Lord Marcel, is it? Good, very good indeed!"
As the group reeled from the sudden turn of events, Lofan seized the perfect moment to make his dramatic entrance.
"Caught red-handed! The evidence is irrefutable!"
"Confess your crimes, Lord Marcel!"
"I didn't do it! I swear I'm innocent!"
After all, Marcel was the only one left by Dean's side.
Could he have committed suicide...

What's going on? Why does the atmosphere feel so strange?
Lofan froze the moment he arrived, then accessed his body's memories and nearly threw up.
"Dean, explain yourself."
"I specifically asked if you'd cleaned up the tracks, and you told me you hadn't cleaned them at all, but instead made them even more obvious. What's the meaning of this?"
If Lofan could get his hands on the System, he'd slap it silly.
This is ridiculous! Not only is it an Artifi...

Alone in her dormitory, Kousei buried herself beneath the covers.
The Classic Triple Crown season had ended, and Kousei had achieved nothing. After a series of crushing defeats, she withdrew in dismal fashion. This meant that she and the two other Umamusume who had debuted in the same year would now follow completely different paths.
McQueen would continue her ascent, aiming for the Tenno Sho Trophy. With dwindling support, Kousei would be relegated to lower-tier races if she want...

A cold dread settled in her heart as invisible, ashen-gray hands seemed to grip her and Mejiro McQueen by the throat.
A blinding red light flashed into existence.
I ran shoulder to shoulder with you once. How could I bear to sink into oblivion now? Even if it's just a flickering flame in the wind, I'll seize this one last chance.

How much had she sacrificed to claw he...

The voice was so sudden that Kousei instinctively looked around, unsure of its source.
"A voice?"
It was the rhythmic clatter of horseshoes on the track, a steady gait that could only belong to an Umamusume with formidable leg strength.
"The oppressive presence behind us has vanished. Are you already exhausted?"
The voice was utterly unfamiliar, one Kousei had never heard before, yet it stirred a faint sense of recognition within her.
A flash of lightning illumin...

"The situation is critical. Mejiro McQueen's leg strength is astonishing. The already difficult Heavy Track has become even more treacherous under her relentless pounding. The Umamusume behind her are in danger. How can we break through the Elite's blockade?"
"There's no other choice. We have to do this."
McQueen's overwhelming power was undoubtedly forcing everyone behind her to the outer lanes. Kousei had no choice but to sacrifice speed for stability.

A crimson mist hung heavy in the air, and danger lurked in every raindrop.
"You're full of energy, Kousei!"
Kousei closed the distance, naturally opening with her signature feint. However, the rain-soaked track hampered her movements, making the feint clumsy and transparent—no match for McQueen's sharp instincts.
"You can't even pull off a proper feint!"
Seeing her feint fail, Kousei switched to her dance-like agility. But her once fluid movements now felt stiff and ...

When Cipher thought of clones, the first thing that came to mind was Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. It was so famous that the clones she created ended up being remarkably similar to shadow clones.
For example, all the clones possessed the same abilities as Cipher herself. Currently, this was limited to Divine Speed, but if she later added other abilities using her Lie, the clones would likely inherit those abilities as well.
However, the clones lacked the Trickster Auth...

Ignoring Lumina's words, Jingliu murmured Blade's name under her breath, seemingly lost in remembrance.
After a moment, her gaze settled on Yanqing. "Take me to him, child," she said. "You're no match for me, and therefore no match for Blade either. With me accompanying you, you won't throw your life away in vain."
Jingliu's tone was utterly flat, devoid of emotion, as if stating a simple fact.

"Eventually, she cried and threw a tantrum, begging me to rescue her. I couldn't resist her pleas, so I had to sneak in here to retrieve her."

After a satisfying meal, Qin Yu resumed her role, trailing beside Yanfei.
Perhaps because Hu Tao had stirred her emotions so much, Qin Yu felt drained and listless. Let's wrap this up soon, she thought.
Yanfei smiled. "Alright, let's go for a stroll somewhere else."

"Anything's fine with me. You can choose."

Just one? That makes sense. Yanfei just finished eating, so she must still be full.

She ate every last bite so neatly. Not bad at all, Qin Yu thought with a satisfied nod. "I'll go wash the lunchbox then."

Qin Yu had intended to politely insist otherwise, but Yanfei didn't give her the chance.

Inside the Artisanship Commission, before the Creation Furnace, Lumina faced her opponents. Stelle relentlessly swung her baseball bat, but Lumina effortlessly blocked every strike with her staff. March 7th fired arrow after arrow, but Lumina's agile movements allowed her to evade each shot. Meanwhile, Welt held a Black Hole in his hand, patiently observing Lumina for an opening.

The scene unfolded with Stelle relentlessly swinging her baseball bat at Lumina, but every strike was effortlessly blocked by Lumina's vibrant emerald shield.
March 7th's arrows fared no better. Except for one near miss that almost struck Stelle's rear, all her shots clattered harmlessly against Lumina's shield, just like Stelle's bat.
Even Welt's conjured black hole, when slammed into Lumina's shield, merely rippled the barrier, utterly failing to inflict any damage.
