i have special horse training skills

30. Zhou Taian's determination

Regardless of what happened in the student union room at Central Treson College.

After Zhou Tai'an returned to the academy with the brand new glory, he arranged for Ma Niang to deliver the bought shoes and shoes to Xiao Limao, and then he went back to the office to get ready for work before leaving get off work early.This kind of attitude is unique in Kasamatsu Treisen Academy - even if the other trainers have nothing to do, they will stay in their positions honestly until the stipulated off-duty time.

Only a young man with the permission of the chairman of the academy can be so leisurely.

"There is no competition recently, and we can enter the summer vacation mode next week." Zhou Tai'an thought to himself, humming a little song, and walked to his office with cheerful steps, "When the time comes, bring the little chestnut hat and the brand-new glory Go to Hokkaido, give Oguri a special training there, visit her mother, and finally try to win the Hokkaido Youjun Stakes...as long as you do the last thing, this summer vacation will be perfect."

At least the current Zhou Tai'an can't think of anything else to do during the summer vacation.

……

But when he came to the door, he found his friend walking back and forth at the door of the office, and he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Why is Kitahara-san standing here again."

Zhou Taian, who couldn't guess the reason, went up to greet him, and simply greeted his friend: "North Yuan-san, good afternoon, why are you so free, did you come to chat with me?"

"Good afternoon Tai'an Sang, I heard the rumors in the academy, so I came to see you." Bei Yuan denied Zhou Tai'an's guess, and then straight to the point explained why he came here.

"What rumor?" Zhou Taian tilted his head with a confused face, and asked back, "Isn't it a rumor that I went on a date with Xinxin Guanghui? I just went with her to pick out spare running shoes and shoes for Xiao Limao. "

He and Xinxin Guanghui have only known each other for two months, how could they fast-forward to a date in the public opinion of the college - Zhou Tai'an secretly slandered.

"That's not the case." Beiyuan waved his hands again and again, "It's rumors in the college that Xiao Limao will transfer to the Central Committee soon..."

"Huh? I haven't even heard of this kind of news. Where did the people in the academy hear it?" Hearing the unexpected "rumors", Zhou Tai'an's eyes widened, "Such a man with great powers would be willing to Are you staying in Kasamatsu?"

"Uh——" Beiyuan's mouth twitched, and he complained along with the words, "Then the little chestnut hat you are in charge of also..."

"I've never heard of such a thing." Zhou Tai'an shook his head and denied again.

"Then what if the Central Teresan College sends out an invitation? Tai'an Sang, what will you do? Are you going to stop her?" Bei Yuan pressed on.He hopes that his friends will make plans for various situations earlier.He put himself in the situation and thought that if the Fujisan March was dug out of the center, he would be so heartbroken that even the trainers didn't want to do it.

"Then I'll follow." However, Zhou Tai'an replied without thinking, and his tone was quite indifferent.

Beiyuan rolled his eyes helplessly, and while muttering "I knew it" in his heart, he reminded his friend: "Tai'an Sang, don't forget that the central trainer has an exam, and there is only one chance in June every year. The exam is over, and the next one will be a year later."

"..."

Zhou Taian fell into silence.Of course he knew that the central trainers in Japan needed to take an exam, but Zhou Taian never thought about passing the exam to enter the Central Teresan College - what he had always thought about before was to get the "emperor" to recommend him to enter after making the grades. central.

"Is the exam necessary? Is there no way to accommodate?" He frowned and asked his friend.

Beiyuan guessed what Zhou Taian was thinking, and gave a cruel answer with a wry smile: "Since the establishment of the URA Association in Japan, there has never been any special case. Anyone who wants to become a central trainer must go through the training process only once a year. Central Examination."

Zhou Taian is not confident enough to become the first "special case" in history.He has already passed the second stage of middle school where he thought he would be the protagonist.His friend's answer also made his heart twitch——

"Before June next year, if the central government extends an olive branch to Xiao Limao..."

If Xiao Limao is trained by other local trainers, going to the Central Committee will definitely benefit her future.

But Xiao Limao's current trainer is Zhou Tai'an.

In the past six months or so, he has a deep understanding of the level of trainers in Japan.

If Xiao Limao goes to the central government, he will get better living conditions, get to know a group of horse girls from the central government, and have better training facilities...

But if you keep her by Zhou Taian's side... He glanced at the attribute viewer, looked at the attributes of Xiaoli hat on it, especially the intimacy of the item whose specific function is not yet known, and then thought about the central and local The level of training of the trainers.

Zhou Taian made up his mind.

"I won't let go." He maintained this posture without moving, and responded without hesitation, "No one is more suitable for training Xiao Limao than me, not even the central trainer. And Xiaolimao is the one I am waiting for here The only hope I saw after half a year, no one can take her away from me. Not even the 'emperor' of the central government."

"But if the other party promises that Xiaolimao can get better development prospects as long as he goes to the 'central'..." Beiyuan knew his friend's temper, and carefully put forward a hypothesis that was quite possible—a similar thing happened in It happened many times in other regions, and even some time ago, the horse race girl who won the East China Sea Cherry Blossom Award issued a declaration to go to the "Central" after being persuaded by the "Central".

"The central trainers can't do what they promised—my training level is much better than theirs." Zhou Tai'an grinned, "Even the expedition of the 'Emperor' was taken over by those idiots." There are so many feathers, why do you let Xiao Limao, let me believe that those guys can train Xiaolimao better than me? Just rely on the word 'central'?"

Zhou Tai'an instinctively groped for his chest pocket—this was where he used to store his trainer ID when he was still at Treyson College on the West Coast.

Zhou Taian didn't realize that he had resigned from there until he found some space.

"The 'central' is indeed better than the local, and I also admit that I really want to go to the central." Ignoring the little oolong just now, he continued to say to Beiyuan with a serious face, "But the most suitable trainer for Xiao Limao is me, she The best place to stay is here."

"I will work with her to get rid of the arrogance of the 'Central' step by step." Zhou Tai'an clenched his fists, "Who said local racehorse girls can't conquer the world?!"

At this moment, Zhou Tai'an gave up the goal of "winning the central government's heavy reward" that he had set for Xiao Limao.

"I want Oguri Hat to conquer the whole of Japan!" He said to himself from the bottom of his heart.

Neither Zhou Tai'an nor Beiyuan noticed that at the corner of the corridor, a pair of reed-haired horse girls' ears flickered there.

31. Oguri Hat's Plan

Although he now has a higher goal, Zhou Taian is not going to change his training plan for Xiao Limao for the time being.

Because before that, there is one thing he needs to be clear about—what is "conquering the whole of Japan"?

Is it the honor "Japan Derby" that has won the apex of the generation?

Is it to win the Arima Memorial that all Japanese must see every year? ?

Is it like the "emperor" who won seven G1 championships?

To become the most popular racehorse girl of the same generation?

Or some other achievement?

Zhou Tai'an himself didn't have a definite answer, but deep down in his heart he had a thought that seemed insane now.

"If Oguri Mao can win G1 in Japan, maybe I can take her to the United States for an expedition... If she wins, it will be a great achievement that has not even been achieved by the symbol of the 'Emperor' Ruduo." Thinking of this, Zhou Taian almost laughed out loud.

Although the defeat of Lu Duo’s symbolic expedition is objectively said to be a “crime other than war”, it is still difficult for Zhou Tai’an to hold back when he thinks about the touting of Ru Duo’s symbol by the American media before the game and the result of not being in the top five in the end. .

"If the Rudot symbol is my training..." he said to himself in his heart, "then I will never let her challenge the American grass court...Take a step back, at least not go to Santa Anita Wouldn't it be better to go to the Park Racecourse and run the Rao Shizi San Luis Ray Stakes, and go to Saratoga and run the Sword Dancer Stakes, which is more suitable for a horse girl like her?"

With this in mind, Zhou Tai'an was even more reluctant to let other trainers take over Xiao Limao.

"Letting those incompetent guys to train will only make Xiao Limao's future bleak." He clenched his fists and muttered.

"Trainer?" Xiao Limao came to Zhou Tai'an after finishing the warm-up exercise, and gently woke up the young man who was distracted, "What am I going to do next?"

Zhou Taian raised his head, squinted his eyes and glanced at the boundless clear sky, remembered the weather forecast he heard in the morning, and made a decision.

"Let's go swim in the pool." He set his eyes on Xiao Limao's face, "The college's swimming pool is open today."

Swimming can exercise the cardiopulmonary capacity of the horse race girl, and it also puts a lighter load on the legs and feet than running the slope. If it is not necessary for the race horse girl to run, Zhou Taian believes that swimming is more effective than slope training.

But in the face of Zhou Taian's instructions, Xiao Li Mao, who had never shown any resistance, showed a reluctant expression for the first time.

"Don't you want to go to the swimming pool?" Zhou Taian asked after capturing the details of his expression.

"I'm not very good at swimming..." Xiaolimao explained in a low voice, "I was not good at swimming when I was a child, and I never went into the water when I was in my hometown. I always stayed on the beach."

Zhou Tai'an really didn't expect that Lumao Ma Niang, whose hometown is in Hokkaido, can't swim. This new discovery shocked him.

But Zhou Tai'an couldn't let Xiao Limao, who was in recovery training period, continue to run laps. After much deliberation, he had a good idea.

"The college has floating boards, Xiao Limao, it's good for you to hold the floating boards and circle around in the swimming pool a few times." Zhou Tai'an made a compromise opinion.

"Hmm...Okay." Xiao Limao was convinced that he would not be able to avoid going to the swimming pool today.

Although the swimming pool is open, it is full of horse girls, so it is a "restricted area" for male trainers.

Even under the guise of "guided training," male trainers are not allowed to enter the pool -- not even to watch from the sidelines.

Because even if Xiao Limao just said that she can't swim, Zhou Tai'an can only let Xin Guanghui take care of her, and he can't go in.

"It would be great if there was that kind of exclusive swimming pool." Zhou Tai'an stayed on the sidelines of the training field and said to himself, "I can carefully observe Xiao Limao's training status."

He swears to God that he has no other intentions.

On the swimming pool side, Xiao Limao was holding the floating board that Zhou Taian brought, and was floating on the swimming pool in a backstroke posture.

"Xiao Li can't float like this! It won't achieve the effect of training!" Shin Xin Guanghui was quite helpless.

Xiao Limao also heard his friend's call, so his legs started to slap the water randomly in the pool, drawing circles in the pool with a rather clumsy posture.

Brand-new Guanghui, who was also wearing a college uniform and swimsuit, covered his face, unable to bear to see his friend in such a "worried" figure again.

"I said brand-new glory..." Noren Ace, who was also planning to cool off at the swimming pool, couldn't help complaining when he saw this situation, "Xiao Limao is struggling so much, you might as well go and help her while watching. She improved her posture."

"Yes," the brand-new brilliance who realized this method jumped into the water after pointing it out, and easily came to Xiaolimao's side, and began to correct the wrong swimming style of Lu Mao Ma Niang—even if it was backstroke, because Holding the floating board, it is not difficult for Xiao Limao to correct his posture.

After spending a few minutes obediently following the instructions of Shin Shin Kokichi, Oguri Hat finally didn't look so embarrassed.

"Thank you Noren!" Brand-new Guanghui wiped off the water that was splashed on his face by Xiao Limao just now, and loudly thanked Noren Ace on the shore.

"Thank you." Noren Ace waved his hand and turned his head to the side, "I just want to go into the water later, and I don't want to be thrown too badly by Xiao Limao."

"Hmm..." Xiao Limao, who was holding the floating board, pouted when he heard Noren Ace's teasing, but he didn't have the confidence to refute.

After tossing around in the swimming pool for a few times, Xiao Limao came to the shore with the floating board in her arms, climbed to the edge of the swimming pool, and after sitting firmly, she said to Xin Guanghui who came out of the swimming pool together: "It seems that someone wants to let me Went to the center."

"Eh?!" Brand-new Guanghui was taken aback and almost turned back into the water, "Did someone invite Xiaoli?"

"No, she told me that I was listening to the March of Fuji." Xiao Limao shook her head, "But according to what she said, the trainer doesn't seem to want me to go to the center."

"Does Xiaoli want to go to the central government?" Xin Xinguang bit his lip and asked cautiously, "If you go to the central government, you can fight against stronger opponents."

"But you're leaving Brand-New Glory-chan and the trainer?" Oguri Hat pointed out.

"Yes, but if Xiaoli goes to the Central Committee, it doesn't matter if she leaves me." Brand-new Guanghui bit her lips—she had only imagined the retirement of Xiaoli Mao before, and never thought that her friend would be poached by the Central Teresan College possibility.

"Forget it." Xiao Li Mao lay down by the pool, looking at the clear summer sky above the pool, "The trainer has so many expectations of me, if I go to the center by myself, it feels like betraying him. "

32. Expedition costs

When the swimming training was over, the brand-new brilliance who had changed back to the college uniform found Zhou Taian who was in a daze beside the training ground.

"Trainer," she cut straight to the point, "is there someone from the 'central' who wants to poach Xiaoli away?"

"Not yet." Zhou Tai'an, who came back to his senses, shook his head, "But I guess it will be soon."

In his prediction, as long as he wins the Hokkaido Youjun Championship, there is a high probability that the olive branch of Central Treisen College will be extended.

Even if "Central" remains unmoved after the end of the local exchange awards at the end of August, when Xiao Limao's debut year is coming to an end, the Central Teresan College will definitely issue invitation tickets to her for her outstanding performance.

It might not even be the end of August.

In Zhou Tai'an's heart floated a haze named "Lu Duo Symbol".

"After all, I came to Kasamatsu on the recommendation of the 'emperor', and she should pay attention to me from time to time."

As long as Lu Duo's symbolic eyes turn to Kasamatsu, it is absolutely impossible to ignore the Oguri hat that is shining in the East China Sea at this time.

And when the "Emperor"'s attention fell on Xiaoli Mao, Zhou Tai'an could imagine what she would do by moving his toes.

In other words-

"What I have to face is not the 'Central' trainer, but the symbol of Lu Duo." After realizing this, the haze in Zhou Tai'an's heart became heavier.

Zhou Tai'an tried his best not to think about these things - in order to do this, he decided to use these few days to solve the problem of the team's accommodation during the summer vacation.

"Find something for yourself to do, so you don't have to keep thinking about it."

Of course, Zhou Taian did not forget to sign up for Xiao Limao.

With a debut match and an OP match, it is a certainty that Xiao Limao will be selected for the Hokkaido Youjun Championship.

Under normal circumstances, for local exchanges such as the Hokkaido Youjun Championship, Hokkaido will reserve 7 fixed places, and the remaining 9 places will be allocated to other regions.

But the reality is that there are basically only central horse racers who will choose to go to Hokkaido, and the Hokkaido Youjun Stakes, which does not allow central horse racers to register, has always been a competition within the Hokkaido region. The so-called "7 places" The restrictions on the race were also regarded as a dead letter under the dilemma of no registration for horse racing girls from other regions.

Is it because horse race girls from other regions don’t want to try it?

The winning prize of the Hokkaido Youjun Championship is 2500 million yen, which can be regarded as a high level in the G3 rewards in other regions.But if you want to win this game, you must come to Hokkaido early to prepare.

For local racehorses, the expense of such an expedition is beyond the reach of their teams.After all, an expedition costs millions of yen, and it will be a blood loss if you don’t make it to the top five in the end. Local trainers are unlikely to be able to bear such sunk costs—whoever told you that the Teresan Academy in various places will not be like the central one? Reimbursement of part of the expedition expenses?

Zhou Tai'an sat at his work station, flipping through the latest edition of the yellow pages produced this year in Hokkaido, with a detailed map, carefully looking for a suitable place to stay.

"It doesn't matter if you are a little far away from Menbie Racecourse. The main thing is to have your own training ground, preferably with hot springs and swimming pools." His requirements for accommodation are not low—in any case, Zhou Taian wants Living in Hokkaido for two months with a small chestnut hat and brand new glory, I can't save too much money on accommodation.If he chooses a poor living environment because of budget savings, which affects the condition of Xiao Limao and leads to losing the game, then he is really an idiot who lost watermelon for sesame seeds.

Zhou Tai'an naturally understood this account.

Even though he only received close to 100 million yen in prize money from Kokuri Hat and Brand New Glory, the young trainer did not hesitate to spend his savings to fully fill the expedition budget.

"The Hokkaido Youjun Championship is just a stop that Xiao Limao and I passed by in our dreams. There is no need to search here."
