"I'm finally here, huh…"
A young man stood in front of the gate of the famous Tracen Academy of Japan. Few, if not none, are oblivious to this renowned academy. Tracen Academy is the center of the Uma Musume racing scene in Japan. An academy that has produced many well-known names that create legends, even define an era. An academy where many would sacrifice everything just to enter, regardless of whether they're trainers or uma musume.
"It's… Underwhelming, honestly."
"If any aspiring center trainers hear you right now, they would kick your ass."
An old man, half the height of the young man, walks beside him. It's clear that the man has spent most of his days training Uma Musume as a badge hanging around his neck, but instead of showing that he is a center trainer, it shows that he is just one of the many local trainers.
"Talking about yourself, old dirt?"
"Shut up."
The old man smacked the young man's back with his cane. Truth to the young man's words, the old man had once dreamed of becoming a trainer in the Tracen Academy. But alas, the world never runs out of favor for him, and he can only be content with being a local trainer.
"You shouldn't waste your chance, Igo."
"Damn straight! I'm planning on angering as many people as I can."
The old man was getting sentimental with his tone deepening, only for the young man to crush the atmosphere with his joke.
"Good grief… I know you're trouble when I pick you up."
"Pfft! Pick me? Guess you're developing dementia now, old man."
The young man had been the old man's assistant trainer for a good 6 years or so. The duo starts when the young man found the old man reading a porn magazine in secret and used that to blackmail him into picking the young man as his assistant trainer.
Their first few weeks have gone somewhat chaotic as everyone would predict, but soon enough, the duo hit their stride and managed to bring their team into becoming the top in their area.
"I'd better go back before the girls come here."
"Awww~~ It must be nice to be loved so much."
"That's you, you twat! If the girls come here, they would just drag your ass back."
The duo shares a small chuckle before the old man turns around and walks away. Silences fall between the 2 men. They know they can just meet whenever they want, but still, this feeling of separation after years of being inseparable makes their chests tighten.
"Enjoy reading porn mags in peace, old man."
"Don't you dare come back before being the champion, brat."
And with that, the duo breaks up as the young man enters the academy grounds and the old man leaves the periphery of the academy.
XxX-XxX
"As the chairwoman of Tracen Academy, I welcome all of you, new trainers, to our Academy!! We expect many great things from you!!"
The first schedule for a new trainer is to listen to the petite, lolita chairwoman.
I always thought of her as one of the cutest characters in Uma Musume.
The truth is, Igo Sanae was not of this world, at least not the soul. He has come from the real world, where Uma Musume where just an IP of Cygames. But through some bullshits he doesn't understand, now his real world is that game.
The young man reminisced about how he got here in the first place.
It was a beautiful Monday morning, and he was commuting to work using a local train network. His office was quite a distance from his home, so he could take a relaxing nap in the train cart. When he opened his eyes back up, expecting to see the usual empty cart, he met face-to-face with a horse's ass. Before he could react, the horse kicked him right on his face, and the next thing he knew, he was standing in an empty white void.
At least let me die like the usual isekai story, you jerks!!
He remembers how he screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!" into the void. He feels like that was the appropriate reaction to the absurdity of the situation. The balls of light come to him from heaven, claiming to be the three goddesses. When he asked why they did that to him, their responses were.
"Because we can."
"Because it's funny."
"Why not?"
It felt like a flashbang had just exploded right in front of his face. The man immediately rolled up his sleeves to fight with the 3 balls of light, but with their stupid goddess's power, they sent the man into the world of Uma Musume with their last word being,
"Become a trainer of Tracen or else."
The young man remembers the first word he ever uttered after coming to this world, "HELL NOO!!" his parents were crying like crazy. But after that, he determined not to be a trainer at Tracen. Yet he forgets just who rules this world.
When the man tried to fish, he found out that the Kraken exists in this world and ate his ship, with him being the sole survivor. When he tries to be a park ranger, he meets face-to-face with the Wendigo and has to use everything in his arsenal to escape that monstrosity. When he tries to learn astronomy, aliens attack the Earth, and now only a few can learn astronomy as it has become a taboo subject. If he ever does anything that doesn't help him become a trainer at Tracen Academy, the world would go out of its way to send disaster until he returns to the right path.
You stupid goddesses!! I swear I will exact my revenge upon your assess!!
After seemingly no path left, the man has to give up and accept his cruel fate. Unlike other professions, being a trainer comes naturally to him. Heck, he even dared to say too natural. It's like the world would commit reverse final destination on him every time he acts like a trainer. Uma Musume would perform at their top condition all the time, with fewer injuries, and even if they did get injuries, they always knew how to heal them.
"So let us be grateful to three goddesses for giving us their blessings!!"
I will impregnate those goddesses and have their daughters usurp them!
Among the many audience members, only the young man has an evil smile on his face. The many new trainers undoubtedly have only one goal in mind: to be the best trainer that can guide their assigned Uma to be the best in Japan. Clearly, the opposite of the young man.
I am in Tracen now, but how the hell do I meet with those goddesses? Those three foundational horses have long hit the hay before I was even born into this world. Do I need to kill myself to meet them?
The young man ponders to himself as the lolita chairwoman makes way for the representative of the veteran trainers to greet her juniors.
People in this world do say that the era-defining horse is blessed by the three goddesses… Do I need to have an era-defining horse under me to be able to meet those bastards? Hmm… That's my only lead right now. It's no easy task, but it's the only path for my revenge. I'll do anything for revenge.
"Sigh…"
"Now, I shall make way for the president of the student council, Symboli Rudolph."
The young man thinks to himself about which girl he would pick to be his fated one. If he ever wants to exact his revenge, he can't just pick your average everyday girl. He needs a talented girl. A girl blessed by the heavens themselves.
The young man runs through his limited knowledge of Uma Musume and limits his pick. He simulates hundreds of races in his mind while the pun machine gun of a president continues with her speech.
Hmm… As expected. If I ever want to get my revenge, there is only one horse that will be my choice. Kincsem!! I will surely get my revenge if I can get Kincsem as my assigned Uma!!
The young man opens his eyes back up, and his crimson cornaes shine with dangerous light.
"For all new trainers, please follow Miss Tazuna as she guides you around the Academy."
All the new trainers stood up from their seats and promptly followed the lady in green around the academy.
"This is our main building, where the chairwoman's office, the student council's office, and the classes are located. Trainers, please be advised not to enter this building alone. We're afraid that you might get lost and never find your way out."
"This is our extracurricular building. Our academy may be focused on Uma Musume racing, but we still accept if our students want to chase after something else outside of racing. If you're being offered a deal by a brown haired Uma Musume wearing a lab coat, please report her to the chairwoman's office."
"This is the students' dorms. Please never enter here at any cost."
The hell is up with this stupid academy…
The young man couldn't help but retort in his own mind. During the tour, the young man could feel stares glued to their group. Less of students looking at their teachers, more like lionesses looking at a pack of zebras.
"And this is the centerpiece of our academy, the statues of the three goddesses."
"..."
Most of the trainers look up at the statues with reverence. Only the young man looks at them with contempt. These are the girls who had suck him out of his old world and into this new one. His old life was neither grandiose nor was it sad. It was just perfect for him. He had a comfy office job and was delving into several hobbies on the side. A true heaven for the average man that he was.
Prepare your belly, you shitty goddesses! You will give birth to your usurpers!!
"Heh…"
The young man chuckles to himself as the group continues its tour.
"And for our last destination, the trainers' dorms. Please be assured, we have hired professional guards to keep these buildings safe from invading girls."
The fact that this woman can say all that craps with a big smile on her face is scary. This woman is scary.
"Now, trainers, I excuse myself. You are now free to do what you want."
The new trainers quickly chat among themselves, creating groups and deciding what to do. The young man has been the only one from his region to enter Tracen Academy, so he doesn't have anyone that he can call friends around here. The young man waits for someone to start a conversation with him, but no one does, so the young man can only retreat into his new dorm room in defeat.
The trainer room was more normal than the young man had expected. Being the renowned Tracen academy, the young man had expected a king-size bed, personal butlers, etc. What he got was a normal-size bed, an empty bookshelf, a bedside table, a wooden table complete with its seat, a wardrobe, a comfy rug, and a complete PC set. Not too bad, but it can be better.
The young man locked the door behind him and threw his stuff onto the bed. He looks at himself in the mirror, and it almost feels unreal every time he does this. He always has his old self in his mental image, but that mental image doesn't fit his current body.
"Sigh… Those stupid goddesses."
The young man closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
[Truth Seeing Eyes]
The boy opens his eyes, and now, beside his reflection, is a status screen of his stats. The status screen is similar to how it was in the Uma Musume game. The stats on the game are based on the stats of the Uma, and the young man has found out that an Uma is stronger than your average human. He found this out by noticing that barely any human has one stat above F, even if they're an adult male. Most of them have H stat, and he doesn't know that was possible.
The young man's stats are F in speed, G in stamina, F in power, G in Guts, and C+ in wits. Wits and guts are the only stats in which most humans have a chance of matching the Umas, mainly because it's brain and willpower-based instead of physical.
His skills are:
- [Truth Seeing Eyes] Lv 3, allows the user to see people's stats.
- [Uma Methyl] Lv 1, causes the user to secrete sweat that is addictive to Uma Musume.
- [Lucky Pervert] Lv 2, the name speaks for itself.
- [Fast Learner] Lv 2, allows the user to learn knowledge faster than average.
- [Ungrateful bastard] Lv 3, this skill doesn't do anything, we just put it here to remind you of what you are.
I swear to my last breath!! I will kick their assess!!!!!
