"Well then, let's part ways here for now. Remember to report after watching the race, okay?"
"Mm! Thank you, senior!"
Because she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a race today featuring a child that her Trainer had always wanted to scout, Absolute Zero took Special Week to the Twinkle Series race venue along the way.
(I think her name was... something Suzuka?)
Anyway, her first thought was that the other party was a spirit of a carrot, and she repeatedly confirmed with the Three Goddesses that there were no plant or animal spirits in this world before she finally relaxed.
As a child who had just been introduced to Uma Musume knowledge, it was a good choice to take the opportunity to let her experience the atmosphere of a racecourse. If she hadn't gotten off at the wrong stop, it would have taken more effort to get here, so it was a happy accident.
Although as a senior, she should have stayed and watched with her. Unfortunately her time wasn't that flexible. After all, she still had to settle things with Symboli Rudolph (also known as little Luna)... No, she should say that she will settle things with the entire Student Council. By The three Goddesses, they even put a custom-made sack directly over her, which terrified her.
Of course, these were not that important. The most crucial thing was to prepare for the upcoming Osaka Cup race.
Although she hadn't known before, under the Three Goddesses' explanation, she understood that she was a filly (a young female horse), and due to the earring she instinctively wore on her left side, It meant that she was a Mare in her original world, so she had a better option at the time—the Filly Triple Crown.
The Filly Triple Crown consists of the Oka Sho (Turf 1600m) before April, the Yushun Himba (Turf 2400m) after May, and the Shuka Sho (Turf 2000m) after October. However, the times for these races overlap with the Satsuki Sho, Japanese Derby, and Kikka Sho of the Triple Crown, and in terms of actual significance, the Triple Crown is more famous, so she still ran the Triple Crown at the time.
And the reason for saying so much is to explain another Triple Crown, the Spring and Autumn Triple Crown. Spring and Autumn are separate, but compared to the former, the latter can be participated in when she is at the Classic level. However, the Tenno Sho Autumn, one of the Autumn Triple Crown races, also conflicts with the Kikka Sho, so her first Autumn Triple Crown only had two crowns (the other two crowns were the Japan Cup and Arima Kinen).
And the upcoming Osaka Cup, which she is about to challenge, is the first step of the Spring Triple Crown.
The Spring Triple Crown consists of the Osaka Cup (Turf 2000m) after March, the Tenno Sho (Spring) (Turf 3200m) after April, and the Takarazuka Kinen (Turf 2200m) after June. The 3200m of the Tenno Sho (Spring) is a challenge she has never faced, as the longest race she had run before was only the Kikka Sho at 3000m.
It's not a joke to say that even an extra fifty meters in a long-distance race can change the outcome. Especially now that she has grown to the Senior level, she will face one veteran Uma Musume after another in the upcoming races, and she also has to challenge a distance that is a full two hundred meters longer. It truly makes her... her blood boil in anticipation!
Well, perhaps it was due to the Uma Musume's inherent love for running.
Although she was usually very composed, she remained expressionless on the track, but her inner self was basically in a state of intense war. During the Arima Kinen at the end of last year, when she broke free from being boxed in, she almost accelerated all the way due to her blood rushing to her head.
Of course, even if she did that, her stamina would be enough for her to finish the rest of the race with some left over, but the most important thing was not just victory, but to hide some of her strength as much as possible.
She had laid so much groundwork before, making it seem like the 3200m Tenno Sho (Spring) could easily lead to an upset if she wasn't careful.
In reality, she wasn't panicking at all. After all, no matter how difficult the Tenno Sho's super long slope and a relatively steep uphill and downhill that changes depending on whether it's a left or right turn track are to run, they are much easier than the mountain paths she ran during her training under the system that was the Three Goddesses.
During training, relying on the fact that multiple injuries could heal, she had undergone a lot of inhuman training and suffered many injuries. Later, the Three Goddesses adjusted the system to limit the number of treatments, and she finally calmed down a bit, but she had already mastered some relatively special techniques.
[Highlander (Normal): Slightly improve running on an uphill.]
This is a skill that, according to the Three Goddesses, most Uma Musume can currently learn for uphill running. No one has yet developed its advanced skill, as uphills in races are very limited. Instead of becoming better at uphills, it's better to learn [1.500.000 CC] and [15.000.000 CC], which can accelerate on uphills.
But she didn't care about any of that.
[Peak Climber (Legendary): Very good at uphill, improves abilities on uphill.]
Where there are uphills, there are of course naturally downhills. However, it seems there's an Uma Musume who can achieve downhill acceleration that other Uma Musume cannot, and has even developed the legendary advanced skill [Determined Descent.]. It can be said that she can be encountered at the school soon.
[Courageous Stride (Legendary): Very good at downhill, improves abilities on downhill.]
To develop this move, she had fallen countless times from slopes that were almost sixty degrees, and the number of fractures she got alone was in the triple digits. Later, she continuously worked hard to grasp the key points of downhill running, creating her own unique downhill skill out of nothing, which even impressed the system, which had not yet revealed itself as the Goddesses the time.
Of course, she also conveniently learned the [15.000.000 CC] and [Determined Descent] skills that the Three Goddesses mentioned.
Reality is, of course, not a game. These are ultimately just skills. As long as you can reach the corresponding place, they can be effective, unlike in games where they are restricted to only being usable for certain racing styles or only being activated by certain leading positions.
According to the Three Goddesses, her current stats and number of skills are already at an unfair cheating level, especially since, with the exception of a few skills, most of them were developed by herself, relying on the system's cheating healing abilities and her own cheat-like willpower.
After all this talk, she just wanted to express her confidence in the upcoming race. Even if her ability values weren't high enough (though they were all maxed out), it's like joining a game and learning all the skills at the beginning—you wouldn't panic at all.
How could she possibly mess up if every step triggers a skill!
Oh, she crashed into the gate at the start of her debut race and went straight to the hospital. Never mind then.
Each skill was developed by her over countless days and nights. At most, she relied on the skill shop to preview skills, understand their principles, and then started practicing.
The result was that she barely spent any of the most expensive points (pt) on the features the Three Goddesses initially prepared for her. Instead, she spent more on healing. But ultimately, due to various reasons, she now has an enormous amount of pt left, enough to buy herself back even if she gets into an accident.
She herself didn't know why she worked so hard. Perhaps it was because she genuinely loved running, or perhaps she was fascinated by the feeling of "effort will definitely be rewarded," or it could be simply that her collecting habit kicked in and she wanted to learn all the skills?
But that didn't matter. In order to rule the racecourse, she spent the most arduous of days of her two lives in that mountain range, and it was because of this that she was able to forge who she is today.
No one would have doubted that if her gate hadn't malfunctioned, and it had opened during her debut race, the outcome of that race would have been just as certain.
Because in her first race back after recovering from her injury, she put on an epic Front Runner into a Great Escape performance, and the distance she opened up from the second-place finisher was called 'the despairing huge margin,' unmatched even to this day.
It's said that the Uma Musume in that race all underwent a long period of psychological counseling before returning to the track.
The Three Goddesses were of course all Uma Musume. They each had their own insights into racing and running styles. Coupled with the system itself, they were her best teachers. Because of this, she displayed an aptitude in subsequent races that other Uma Musume could only look up to.
Whether on turf or dirt; short distance, mile, middle distance, long distance; and even being able to switch between the four running styles at will according to the situation, she was bestowed the title of [Absolute King] The media even used phrases like [Symbol of a New Era] to express their recognition of her.
By the way, because of her relatively young physique, it seems she also has quite a few 'mama fans,' both male and female.
During this month of rest, she also reviewed her two years since her debut, and her thoughts were quite simple and clear.
No regrets, and even more anticipation for the future.
She does not regret her childhood with almost no entertainment after coming to this world, nor does she regret the superhuman efforts she made to improve herself, because the blood and sweat of that time have transformed into the glory that now adorns her.
She is very much looking forward to the moment she reaches the pinnacle, looking forward to the arrival of the moment when she defeats one strong opponent after another, and even more so, looking forward to the arrival of the [Hero] who will challenge her after she ascends to the throne.
After all, the title [The king of Absolute] was given to her when she won her eighth G1 championship. Before that, she was called... [Great Demon lord of the Track]
Anyway, while thinking about various things in her mind, she finally arrived at the door of the Student Council Room and pulled it open.
Familiar brown hair and a slender white crescent-shaped strand of white hair on her forehead... Hmm? Wait! Something seems off!?
Absolute Zero froze, looked at the curious little face and the smiling face of Rudolf for a moment, and blurted out:
"I say, President, is your daughter already this old? No, I mean, your daughter is this old, so you... emmmmm, do you need me to call the police?"
The Emperor's smiling face immediately froze.
"After all, you're only high school age right now. If your daughter is already this old... you must have suffered a lot when you were little, right? It's okay, I'll keep your secret, and also..."
Bang!
A water dispenser flew over.
Although she dodged the water dispenser, The Emperor appeared by the door at some point and slammed it shut.
Thud!
The door panel hit her directly on the nose.
"ONORE SYMBOLI RUDOLF!!!"
