The meeting dispersed soon after.
While Gold Ship and Kitasan Black remained behind, who's already being herded into group training under Trainer Okino's watchful eye—Diamente found herself peeling away from Team Spica alongside Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet.
The corridor leading toward the school gym was quieter than usual, the winter chill still lingering faintly in the air.
Vodka broke the silence first.
"So," she said, glancing sideways at Diamente, hands tucked behind her head, "what kinda exercises do you usually do anyway?"
Diamente blinked, then answered honestly. "Mostly the same as everyone else. Just with shorter repetitions and of milder intensity."
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small notebook—well-worn, its corners slightly bent from frequent use. Opening it, she held it out for them to see.
"These are my daily routines," she explained. "I also track projected increases in leg speed and power based on both my training period per two weeks and also my caloric and nutritional intake as well."
The pages were filled with neat handwriting, diagrams, numbers, and annotations—incremental adjustments planned days, even weeks ahead.
Daiwa Scarlet leaned in, her eyes sharp and focused as she scrutinized every page.
Vodka, meanwhile, glanced at it once… then promptly lost interest.
"Huh," Vodka muttered. "That looks quite complicated."
Diamente's fingers tightened slightly around the notebook.
Daiwa Scarlet hadn't said anything yet.
After a few tense seconds, Daiwa Scarlet closed the notebook and handed it back.
"What do you think, Scarlet-senpai?" she asked.
But Daiwa Scarlet's expression was serious.
"We're going to the Medical Department to see a friend of mine," she said decisively as she pulled out her phone. "First, we get your physical condition checked properly."
Diamente stiffened. "E-eh?"
"And," Daiwa Scarlet continued, already turning on her heel, "I'll call in another friend of mine—an assistant trainer. I understand some of this," she admitted, tapping the notebook lightly, "but only parts of it."
Vodka blinked. "…Wait. Do you actually have friends outside Team Spica?"
Daiwa Scarlet stopped walking and a vein bulged on her forehead.
"Of course I do," she snapped, spinning around with visible irritation. "Don't say it like I'm so lonely that I'm stuck with you!"
Vodka flinched. "I-I'm just asking, y'know!"
Daiwa Scarlet then cleared her throat.
"The umamusume we're visiting first," Daiwa Scarlet went on, folding her arms, "is extremely well-versed in this field. You'll want her opinion when it comes to her medical expertise."
Diamente swallowed and nodded.
As the three of them made their way toward Tracen Academy's University Wing, Diamente hesitated—then spoke up.
"Um… Scarlet-senpai. Is the person we're meeting… Dr. Agnes Tachyon?"
Daiwa Scarlet smiled before nodding.
"I'm surprised you know her," she said. "She's your idol too?"
"I've read her medical journals, Scarlet-senpai," Diamente replied. "Especially her works on umamusume tendon research and high-compression structural bio-mechanics."
Vodka looked back at her, eyes widening.
"Huh? Are those jargon scientific stuff even real?"
Diamente nodded. "I used it as reference for my pre-maturation training. Especially for managing my flexible joints."
Vodka whistled. "Dang. Sounds like we've got an intelligence-type on our team now."
She ticked names off on her fingers. "Rudolf-kaichou for Rigil, Ikuno-san and Royce-san for Canopus back then, Hayahide-san for Aldebaran…"
She grinned. "Guess Spica's got one too now."
Daiwa Scarlet's smile softened slightly as they approached the Medical Department.
Then—
BOOM.
The entire hallway rattled.
Diamente reacted instantly—ducking her head and bracing herself as if by instinct, heart hammering.
An earthquake?
No.
Daiwa Scarlet's right hand curled into a tight fist.
"…That Tachyon-senpai," she muttered darkly. "She's done it again."
She stepped forward and knocked sharply on the wooden door.
A moment passed. Then another. Smoke began seeping out from the cracks.
Coughing echoed from inside.
As the smoke cleared, the door creaked open to reveal a brown-haired umamusume wearing an oversized lab coat over a yellow sweater, skirt, and her signature black stockings.
It was Agnes Tachyon.
"Ah~ Scarlet-chan!" Tachyon greeted them brightly, as if nothing had happened. "And Vodka too! What brings my dear disciple and her girlfriend here—"
"We are not—!"
Both Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka shouted in unison.
Tachyon shrugged, utterly unfazed.
Her eyes then slid toward Diamente, a smirk curling onto her lips.
"So this must be the little gym girl who got sacked into Team Spica."
Diamente's lips twitched.
Daiwa Scarlet cleared her throat sharply. "Senpai, I texted you earlier. Your phone was off."
"Ah, that." Tachyon waved it away. "I was working on a tendon regeneration compound."
"I dropped one too much," she smiled cheerfully. " It's just your typical minor workplace accident."
She flipped on the exhaust fan. The smoke vanished almost instantly.
After ushering them inside, Tachyon had them sit on a sofa and served black tea.
None of them drank it.
"…Come on now, everyone. It's not drugged," Tachyon said flatly.
They still waited.
"…I swear on my tendons."
Only then did they take cautious sips.
Tachyon checked her phone, then grinned wickedly. "For Team Spica to poach someone this young… you must be quite talented, huh little one?"
"Thank you for your compliment, Dr. Tachyon," Diamente replied politely.
Daiwa Scarlet wasted no time. "Senpai, I want you to look over the pre-maturation training notes that she developed herself. And also check her physical condition as well after that. I also called someone else to look over the notes but I'll have you check it first."
Tachyon's grin faded into something sharper.
"Now that," she said, taking the notebook, "sounds interesting."
As she began reading, a knock echoed from the door.
"Tch. Vodka, get that." Tachyon said, without looking over them.
Vodka opened it—and froze.
A brown-haired umamusume in a formal office outfit stood there, B-shaped hairpins glinting at her side bangs.
"Scarlet-san, I don't know why you texted me to be here urgently, but since you wanted to consult me on this, then I'd be glad to help a former colleague." Belno Light greeted with a light smile on her face.
"Belno-chan," Daiwa Scarlet greeted. "Perfect timing~!"
She turned to Diamente. "Diamente-chan, she's Team Polaris' assistant trainer under Kitahara Jō, who's my former trainer."
Diamente's eyebrows lifted in surprise and asked, "Trainer Kitahara's your former trainer? But aren't you—"
"—in Team Spica now?" Daiwa Scarlet added, to which Diamente nodded.
Daiwa Scarlet then smiled as she answered, "That's because I used to train under her when I was in that team before transferring to Team Spica after retiring."
"I followed this goofball," she said, pointing at Vodka, and added, "saying that her team has a very chill atmosphere after retirement."
"And I was right though…" Vodka added, which made Daiwa Scarlet twitch her eyebrows and retorted back, "It was the case if not for the fact that the two of you tried to kidnap me with a burlap sack back then!"
As Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet started budging heads again, Belno Light and Diamente looked at each other for a moment before chuckling from the argument that the two of them are doing yet again.
Tachyon, seeing the person that arrived, immediately shoved the notebook toward her. "Ara~ Belno-chan, so you're here! Come take a look at this. Isn't it wonderful?"
Belno Light decided to take a look at the notebook and started reading quietly.
Then her eyes widened.
"…The notes from this notebook… It's incredibly well-structured," she said honestly. She then looked at Diamente and added, "To formulate this at your age…"
"Thank you for the compliment, Trainer Belno," Diamente said, bowing slightly.
Daiwa Scarlet nodded, satisfied. "Tachyon-senpai, please examine Diamente first. I'll talk with Belno-chan about the next steps for her training since I was tasked by Trainer Okino about this."
"And for the consultation fee?" Tachyon asked.
"Trainer Okino will handle it."
Tachyon nodded once—and gestured toward the examination room.
"If that's the case then come along, little one."
Diamente looked at Daiwa Scarlet and Belno Light, already talking to one another while Vodka gestured a thumbs up towards her. Diamente then took a breath—and followed Tachyon to the examination room inside her office.
==== 🐎Legend Changer🐎 ====
The medical examination concluded without incident.
Agnes Tachyon leaned back against her desk, arms folded beneath her oversized lab coat as she addressed everyone present.
"Physically," she began, "Diamente's body is healthy, without any harmful abnormalities."
Diamente relaxed slightly.
"However," Tachyon continued, lifting a finger, "there are minuscule but noticeable changes in both muscle and bone density compared to her checkup a month ago."
Daiwa Scarlet's posture straightened.
Vodka tilted her head. "Does that mean you can tell when she's gonna mature?"
"Nope," Tachyon shook her head slowly. "This case is just your body bulking up due to constant exercises, which is normal. After all, maturation is actually beyond science."
She smiled faintly. "And only the Three Goddesses would know the exact timing."
Diamente nodded, having expected that answer.
"If that's the case, then," Daiwa Scarlet stood and bowed slightly. "Thank you for taking out your time for us, Tachyon-senpai."
"My~ don't mention it," Tachyon waved her off. "Anything for my dear disciple."
She paused, eyes flicking toward Diamente.
"As long as the consultation fee is wired to my account by the end of the day."
Daiwa Scarlet sighed. "Of course, Senpai."
Tachyon then leaned forward, eyes gleaming with unmistakable interest. "That said… I'd like to record your progress, dear Diamente-chan. All of it."
Diamente blinked. "M-my progress?"
"Yes," Tachyon said eagerly. "Your case is quite fascinating and any progress to your nutrition and training will be vital data for my next research topic."
Daiwa Scarlet interjected. "But Tachyon-senpai, what about your tendon regeneration potion?"
"Meh~ I'm currently out of ingredients," Tachyon replied casually. "They're quite rare and I usually order them through overseas delivery too so it'll take a while before they have arrived."
Diamente thought for a moment before bowing politely. "Thank you, Tachyon-senpai. I'll think about your proposal… and let you know through Scarlet-senpai."
"Of course~," Tachyon grinned. "I'll be waiting."
Not long after, Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka, Diamente, and Belno Light left the Medical Department and returned to Tracen Academy proper.
By the time they reached the turf track, the air had begun to cool further, shadows stretching across the field.
Belno Light stopped and turned to Diamente. "Diamente-chan, do you remember your last recorded sprint?"
"Yes," Diamente replied promptly. "It was during the physical fitness test that my class went through last month."
"How far?"
"Four hundred meters."
"And what's your time?"
"Around thirty-five seconds but we were told to not overdo it."
That earned reactions.
"…That's not slow," Vodka muttered.
Diamente added, almost apologetically, "Although my classmates Almond Eye and Lucky Lilac ran it in 34 seconds."
"Woah…" Vodka whistled. "These young ones are quite competitive nowadays."
"I see…" Belno Light nodded once. "I want you to run it again with full speed on this turf."
Diamente's eyes lit up.
"Today?" she asked.
"Yes," Belno Light said firmly. "I want a fresh record."
She turned to Vodka. "Vodka-chan, take her to change to her track clothes. You also supervise her warm-up properly."
"Got it."
Diamente and Vodka headed toward the changing room.
Once they were gone, Daiwa Scarlet crossed her arms and looked at Belno Light.
"Belno-chan, why are you pushing her today?"
"You see, Scarlet-chan," Belno Light's expression sharpened. "She's really excellent in theory, almost like what I was in the past, but I want to see if she has the talent for it that I didn't have in the past.
"So I want to see how well she applies it." Belno Light added.
"Actually," she paused. "I have already heard about her even before you wanted me to check on her. Isobu-senpai mentioned witnessing her in the gym with all sorts of outlandish training regiment that he had heard from afar to us trainers."
Daiwa Scarlet nodded. "Trainer Okino said the same. That's why he recruited her immediately."
After a brief silence, Daiwa Scarlet added with a serious tone, "And also, there's something else you should know, Trainer Belno."
Belno Light turned to her.
"She's also from the Symboli family," Daiwa Scarlet said.
Belno Light's eyebrows lifted. "Symboli? Like from the same family as Rudolf-kaichou?"
"From what we found," Daiwa Scarlet continued, "her mother was an umamusume who is a distant offshoot of the family. She descended from a family line that dates back to Speed Symboli's mother."
She exhaled softly.
"From what we had realized after she accepted our invitation during the Arima Kinen, after Kris-senpai, there aren't any umamusume from the Symboli family that could competitively race in Central." Daiwa Scarlet explained.
Hearing this made Belno Light surprised in disbelief and asked, "This means that…"
"Yes, it's possible," she said, "that Diamente-chan might be the last Symboli umamusume to have a chance of racing on Central's tracks." Belno Light then stared out at the turf, thoughtful for a few moments.
"…Then we should watch her closely." she said.
Diamente then returned to the track wearing Tracen's physical education uniform, her hair neatly tied back.
"Belno-senpai, she's all warmed up and ready," Vodka reported, stretching her arms once more.
"Thank you, Vodka-chan," Belno Light nodded and handed Daiwa Scarlet a stopwatch. "Scarlet-chan, you'll go to the 400-meter line and that'll serve as Diamente-chan's finish line. Record the time once you started seeing her running, okay?"
"Of course," Daiwa Scarlet accepted it and moved to the mark.
"Vodka-chan," Belno Light continued, "you're on the starting line and make sure that Diamente-chan can start her run properly."
"Roger that."
Belno Light then turned to Diamente, her expression turning serious. "Diamente-chan, give it everything you've got, but please don't overdo it or you'll risk injury before you could even run a G1."
Diamente nodded firmly. "Of course, Trainer Belno. I'll be careful."
She walked to the starting point where Vodka stood, planting her feet against the turf. Her body lowered instinctively, her eyes forward, and her breath steadying.
Silence spread across the straight track for a few moments, enough for Diamente to get into focus.
"Ready," Belno Light said.
A heartbeat passed.
"Go!"
Vodka immediately lifted her arm as Diamente exploded forward.
Her first step bit into the turf, then the next—and the next—her body surging ahead as if released from restraint. Vodka's eyes widened as Diamente cleared the starting line in an instant.
The onlookers nearby had already started looking in their direction, both fellow umamusume and trainers alike.
Some even had started recording the time on those who had luckily started their stopwatches as the run had started.
Once the 100-meter line had been crossed, every trainer clicked their stopwatch to record the lap time.
13.2 seconds.
That was all it took for Diamente to cross the first hundred meters.
Both Belno Light and Daiwa Scarlet glanced at their stopwatches, then at each other even from afar.
Meanwhile, she didn't slow down at all.
Diamente sustained her pace of over fifty kilometers per hour as she tore through the remaining three hundred meters.
Her body stayed low, with her stride compact and efficient, and her flexible legs transmitting power cleanly into the track without much waste.
Around them, all nearby umamusume and trainers, even those from the famous teams like Team Rigil and and Team Canopus paused mid-conversation.
After all, a young brown-haired umamusume was flying past who was fast, controlled and frighteningly refined are quite a sight to behold and may have mistaken such young umamusume as something of a second coming of a very well-known character in Tracen due to recognizable running posture.
Meanwhile, Diamente herself felt it.
The wind against her face. The ground rushed beneath her feet.
Her eyes widened as exhilaration flooded her chest.
'So this is… running freely.'
It reminded her of riding a rollercoaster for the first time where her heart raced highly, her breath stolen, and her joy overwhelming. The sensation was intoxicating.
She could go faster.
She knew it.
But she also knew better.
Resisting the urge, she maintained her pace.
As Diamente crossed the finish line, Daiwa Scarlet snapped her stopwatch and immediately shouted, "Slow down! Start your three-minute jog now!"
Diamente immediately nodded, panting, as she slowed down and transitioned smoothly into a lighter run.
Vodka and Belno Light arrived moments later.
"Scarlet, what's her time?" Vodka asked.
"Thirty-three seconds flat," Daiwa Scarlet answered while furrowing her eyebrows in disbelief.
Both froze.
"That's… really fast," Vodka muttered.
Belno Light frowned slightly, recalculating.
"Her final hundred meters should be six point six seconds, am I right, Scarlet-chan?"
Daiwa Scarlet looked over her lap time, and nodded at Belno Light.
She then exhaled. "That means she likely crossed 54 kilometers per hour at the end."
They turned their eyes toward Diamente, who finished her jog and began her cooldown stretches with practiced precision.
Belno Light broke the silence. "Scarlet."
"Yes, Belno-senpai?"
"I want a meeting with Trainer Okino after this."
Daiwa Scarlet looked at her with disbelief.
"And I want to ask him," Belno Light continued, "if Team Spica needs a temporary assistant trainer."
Her gaze remained on Diamente.
"Once Shion-chan retires after the Spring Tenno Sho… I want to dedicate my time towards helping Diamente-chan win all the races she wants to win."
Daiwa Scarlet followed her line of sight and nodded slowly before pulling out her phone.
"…Alright. I'll talk to him."
On the track, Diamente stretched quietly—unaware that, with a single run, she had already begun changing the people watching her.
==== 🐎Legend Changer🐎 ====
Kitasan Black stopped at the far end of the turf track and rolled her shoulders once.
"…Okay. Let's do this…"
No one had told her to go there. She'd just walked off on her own, putting distance between herself and everyone else. The starting line felt quieter that way.
From the opposite side, Trainer Okino watched her closely.
"She's already lining herself up," he muttered.
Kitasan bent downward, settling into her stance. Her breathing slowed. Her eyes narrowed—not with tension, but with focus.
And then—she pushed off.
The instant her foot hit the turf, Okino snapped his stopwatch on.
"That's the start."
Kitasan accelerated smoothly, her stride stretching naturally as she built up her speed. There's no explosive burst. No hesitation. Just her clean, efficient acceleration.
"…Kita-chan has a good pace but still a little slow on the start," Okino murmured. "But at least, she's not rushing it."
The 1800-meter distance wasn't short, and it wasn't forgiving. It demanded power and a burst of acceleration and speed rather than stamina, which is what Kitasan is actually good at.
At the finish line, Gold Ship sat cross-legged on the grass, hunched over a gomoku board.
"If I put one here… then I counter myself here…" she muttered, slapping a piece down. "Whoa, that's brutal. Past me is vicious."
She frowned at the board.
"…Wait. Is this illegal?"
A sudden rush of wind blasted past her.
"—Eh?!"
Gold Ship looked up just in time to see Kitasan Black streak past her, eyes locked straight ahead.
"…Oh. That was just Kita-chan."
She blinked once.
"…She's quite fast today."
Across the field, Okino clicked his stopwatch again.
He stared at the time for a second.
Then he raised his voice.
"Kita-chan! That's good for today! Go for your three-minute jog, then cooldown after that!"
"Got it, Trainer-san!" Kitasan called back, already easing her pace.
She lifted one hand in acknowledgment and transitioned into a relaxed jog, circling outward.
Okino exhaled sharply. "Alright…"
"Not bad at all," a voice said behind him.
Okino turned to see Daiwa Scarlet approaching, towels slung over her arm, water tumblers clinking softly. Vodka followed beside her, hands in her pockets. Diamente trailed behind them, carrying extras.
Scarlet stopped and glanced toward the track.
"Diamente-chan."
"Yes, Scarlet-senpai?" Diamente snapped to attention.
"Get these to Kita-chan and Golshi. We need to talk to Trainer Okino for a minute."
"Of course, understood!" Diamente nodded and hurried off.
As she left, Vodka tilted her head. "She's serious, huh."
Scarlet smirked. "That's putting it lightly."
Okino scratched the back of his head. "So… Is her medical check done?"
"Yeah," Scarlet replied. "She's all clear, Trainer."
Then she added flatly, "You'll need to pay Dr. Tachyon later."
"…I figured," Okino sighed.
"She also said that she wanted to have Diamente's progress records as well in the future," Scarlet said. "She's interested in Diamente-chan as well."
"…Of course she is."
Okino shifted his stance and glanced at Belno Light, who had remained quiet until now.
"…That said," he continued, "why'd you bring Belno-chan along?"
Scarlet folded her arms. "I wanted a second opinion on Diamente-chan's self-made training menu since I only understood a part of it myself, to be honest."
Belno then stepped forward before Scarlet could continue.
"Trainer Okino, Diamente-chan's an exceptional child," Belno said calmly.
Okino turned fully toward her.
"Diamente-chan has remarkable analytical talent," Belno continued. "She analyzes her own performance with the same clarity I had when I supported Oguri-chan, but..."
Scarlet glanced at her. "But?"
"But," Belno said, "unlike me back then, she also possesses raw potential comparable to someone from the Symboli family."
Vodka let out a low whistle. "That's not a small comparison at all. She got to 33 seconds flat within 400 meters."
"Yes," Belno Light interjected before adding, "Which is why I want to train her."
The words landed cleanly.
Okino stared. "…Train her?"
"Yes, Okino-senpai. As her trainer."
Okino frowned. "That's not something you just decide."
"I know," Belno replied. "That's why I'm saying this now."
She took a breath.
"After Win Variation's retirement race at the Spring Tenno Shō," she said, "I want to apply to become Team Spica's temporary assistant trainer."
Silence permeated between the four adults.
"…You're serious," Okino said at last.
"I am serious, Okino-senpai."
"Now hold on for a moment," Scarlet looked between them. "What about Trainer Kitahara, Belno-chan?"
Belno's expression hardened slightly.
"Actually," she said. "He told me that he plans to retire as a Central Trainer after this year's Spring Tenno Sho."
"What?" Scarlet blurted.
Okino's eyes widened. "He's retiring?"
"Yes. He's planning on returning to Kasamatsu," Belno continued. "The former principal offered him the position of managing Kasamatsu Tracen as its new principal."
Vodka straightened. "…That's a big move."
"He accepted the offer," Belno said. "He said that he wants to rebuild local racing using the experience that he got from his gig here at Central."
Scarlet stared at the ground for a moment. "Does Buena-chan know about this?" pertaining to Buena Vista.
Belno shook her head. "No."
"What about Believe-chan?" Scarlet pressed.
"No as well," Belno repeated.
Scarlet clenched her fist. "…Then you're the only one who knew about this and told us first before them?"
Belno Light hesitated.
"…That's the strange part."
She exhaled after this.
"Before Scarlet-chan called me here today, Buena-chan actually confided in me this morning," Belno said. "She said that she wants to graduate early and leave Tracen."
Scarlet's head snapped up. "She's leaving? This early? Why?"
"She said that after graduation, she's going overseas," Belno continued. "With her 'onii-chan' who is her childhood friend and also the one she's in love with. I highly bet that after their travels, they'll get married eventually."
Scarlet muttered, "…Unbelievable."
"And yesterday," Belno added, "Believe told me that she's leaving Tracen before spring. She's inheriting her family crafts business from her grandparents."
Vodka rubbed her neck. "Man… That's a lot to take in."
Belno sighed loudly. "It's like everyone's paths are splitting at once and they're all leaving the two of us here."
Scarlet forced a laugh. "…Yeah. It's really a funny coincidence."
Okino closed his eyes and let out a slow breath.
"…Alright," he said. "There's still time, Belno-chan."
Belno looked at him.
"Sort things out first in your end," Okino continued. "Handle what you need to handle."
He opened his eyes and met her gaze.
"When you're ready," he said, "Team Spica and Diamente will be waiting for you."
Belno smiled faintly. "…Thank you, Okino-senpai."
Meanwhile…
"Kitasan-senpai!"
Kitasan turned as Diamente jogged up, holding out a water tumbler.
"Oh! Thanks, Diamente!" Kitasan accepted it gratefully.
"You were amazing," Diamente said. "Your stride pacing didn't break even once."
Kitasan laughed. "You noticed?"
"Yes!"
They walked together as Kitasan cooled down.
"So," Kitasan asked, "how was your afternoon?"
Diamente's eyes sparkled. "Busy! I got checked by Dr. Tachyon first."
"…That sounds intense already."
"She actually wanted to examine me more but I had to stop her," Diamente admitted. "Then I did a run for record-keeping with Scarlet-senpai and others."
Kitasan tilted her head. "How does your running feel?"
Diamente smiled, almost shyly. "Relieving. I didn't know I could run that fast yet so it made me really happy."
Kitasan nodded. "Yes… That feeling doesn't really go away."
She hesitated.
"To be honest though… I'm a little nervous, though. My debut's coming up in just a month."
Diamente stopped walking.
"Kitasan-senpai," she said seriously, "don't let that fear control you."
Kitasan blinked.
"I want to see it," Diamente continued. "The festival you'll bring to everyone."
For a moment, Kitasan felt her nerves melt away.
She laughed softly. "Un… You're right."
She looked ahead, eyes bright.
"Thank you for that, Diamente-chan."
The two resumed walking as the sun dipped lower.
It had ended as a good day.
And quietly—the future had begun to shift.
