I had a sudden inspiration and decided to write this because of it.
Don't expect anything from this as it was rushed and without thinking of how to continue off of it.
Think of it as an interlude for the race coming up.
--------
A blond haired male Uma was at the front of the gates to enter Tracen, a smirk on his face as he walked through the gates with a bounce to their steps. The sight of the gate being something that caught his eye for a second.
"I expected this place to be nicer looking." He said as he continued looking around the place. The buildings entered his curious light yellow eyes.
He continued to walk around, not caring for the eyes of the students that were looking at him. He continued walking with his ears twitching from the sound of footsteps around him before suddenly stopping, he turned to look at the training ground of the school. A sound of someone training caught his attention.
His curiosity got the best of him as he turned his footsteps to the direction of the sounds. The thought of seeing the difference between the 2 places being his core interest
It didn't take long for him to reach the area of the sound. Looking at the training ground, he saw another male Uma with mostly black hair that faded into white at his ears and tail.
He looked at the Uma as they trained, watching with curiosity, the footsteps and style of the Uma entered his eyes, a smirk soon appeared on his face before walking down the hill and jumping over the fence.
"Hey, wanna race!" He shouted at the Uma, his voice filled with a energetic energy as his tail swung with excitement.
The Uma was running up to the blonde before passing him, ignoring him completely.
"Eh?" He looked at confusion as he looked at the Uma that just passed him. His face filled with dumb confusion, his tail stuck mid swinging with his ears pointed straight up. He quickly understood what had happaned and anger soon appeared from him.
"Hey, that was rude!" He shouted at the Uma but was ignored once more.
He looked at the training Uma with frustration poring from his eyes before a lightbulb seemed to appear over his head as he start to smirk again as a glint appeared in his eyes.

I was training when I saw a weird Uma child standing in the training field, he yelled something at me but I ignored it. It didn't take long for me hear something coming from the kid again but I once more ignored it.
I was 200 or so meters from when I saw him but I quickly heard the sound footsteps coming from behind me, I glanced behind me to see the same child from before.
'What the-?!'
The child was about a heads length from me when I looked at him before he quickly caught up to me and slowed down to be beside me.
"It's rather rude to just ignore people, were you never taught manners?" Was the words of the Uma that had caught up to me.
A faint anger bloomed in me before I pushed it down and ignored them by speeding up, hoping to lose him but the sound of the footsteps beside me made it clear that I wasn't losing them.
The presence of the Uma child was starting to annoy me so I kept speeding up, hoping to lose them but he still kept up. This would go on for a bit and it wasn't long before I was the one starting to lose steam but yet I could still hear the sound of the child beside me.
I looked over to them just to see that they weren't even out of breath and the only indicator that they were tired was from the small amount of sweat that was coming down their forehead.
'?!'
"What, are you surprised?" They said with a smirk on their face and a teasing tone in their voice.
I decided to keep speeding up for a while longer, hoping that they were just bluffing.
—
Gasping for breath, I looked at the Uma that was beside me. They were taking deep breaths but wasn't as tired as I was.
"Who are?" I asked him.
They looked at me, seeming to be surprised that I spoke in the first place and not from him out lasting me.
"Charles."
I looked at him, expecting for him to say more but didn't get anything.
I sighed seeing that I wasn't going to get anything else from him. "So what was the reason for you running beside me?"
"You didn't answer me."
"That's it?"
He nodded. The childishness of his making me get slightly annoyed again.
"You seem rather young to be here." I said, making sure to not let my annoyance leak out.
Looking at him, he didn't even seem to be 16 years old so it was a fair question to ask.
"Right, it is rather unusual for someone of my age to be here. Completely forgotten." He said as he hit the top of his head while sticking out his tongue.
Looking more closely at his face, it was easy to tell that he wasn't Japanese, he looked to be from a European country.
He seemed to notice my analysis of his, he let out a haughty laugh before letting out a smirk.
"I am from the French Tracen academy and came here as a culture exchange student to satiate my curiosity." He said as he took out a card form his pocket before putting it away.
"I am currently 15 years of age, about to become 16 in a month from now." He gave a sarcastic bow.
"I am Hayate North, currently 17 and I am in my second year of racing."
He nodded before looking more closely at me with a curiosity that shined in his eyes, the faint glint that his eyes gave off the feeling that he was looking through me and understanding all my weaknesses.
"HaHa, ain't this interesting~."
I looked at him with confusion from what he was laughing at but it seemed that my confusion just fueled his laughter.
I looked at him as the sound of his laughter was rather loud, I let out a sigh before I got ready to ignore him again.

"So this is the transfer student." A brown haired Uma said as they looked at a sheet of paper that was filled with information of the blond haired Uma that appeared today.
"He has already raced in a G1 despite his age, even if he didn't win." The voice of Rudolf said, the curiosity of the student slipping out as she read out his racing career.
"Raced in a G1, 3 G2, 2 G3. Winning 7 of his 10 races, his losses being the G1 and the first 2 G2 races he was in."
Rudolf placed down the paper onto the middle of her desk that was filled with papers, she looked up to see her friend Maruzensky looking at her with some amusement.
"This student seems rather interesting, right Rudolf~." She said, her voice filled with teasing.
Rudolf looked at her for a second before leaving it be, she turned her gaze back to the information paper of Charles. The red words that were added by her when she first read the paper.
"A Genius, a race that is 15 years old and yet has already reached the ZONE...." she mumbled, the thought of such a thing would be outlandish if she wasn't looking at a living example.
Such a Uma had decided to come to the Japanese Tracen Branch despite the Japanese racing scene, sadly, not being as developed as the French branch. She just couldn't wrap her head around the reason for such a decision, even if he had rather outlandish behavior, why would he decide to transfer to here.
Rudolf let out a sigh, this just meant that she had more work on her hands, something she would rather not have, especially since her junior was going to debut next year. Add the fact that there was another Uma that has entered her radar, she was going to be more tired than usual.
Maruzensky looked at her friend's face that was already starting to be filled with tiredness and let out a small laugh.

It is taking a while to get back into the grove, so sorry if it was rather redundant with the writing.
You can tell who this is inspired by if you read the manga of Blue Lock.
