Chapter 16 Step Onto the Field
After dominating my Rodolph timeline practically uncontested, I was pulled here.
I stepped onto the track, feeling the dirt under my feet, solid and real. I tilted my head and let out a small, slightly amused sigh. "Oh… it's this anime Uma Musume story style race again. This should be Rudolph in America?"
The other American runners had no clue who I was. None of the stands, none of the cameras, none of the commentators knew anything beyond the official data. They only knew one name: Rudolph Symboli.
The announcer's voice cut through the tension, booming across the stadium. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, everyone's number one favorite, undefeated, American triple crown holder, JURA champion, 3 time Japanese triple crowns holder, 12 CROWN HOLDER, Tracen Academy Symobli Rudolph!"
The crowd went silent for a heartbeat, then erupted into shocked whispers and cheers. The cameras swung frantically, showing both of us. Emperor Rudolph in her green victory suit, and me, Tracen Academy Rudolph, calm, poised, aura steady.
Anime Rudolph froze, eyes wide. "Is that… me? But not me?" Her voice trembled, disbelief slicing through the usual pride and competitive fire in her expression.
Everyone on the field and in the stands was stunned. Other American Uma glanced at each other nervously. "Why are there two Rodolphs?" someone shouted. "Which one do we race?!"
The commentary read my stats. Unbeaten. Multiple G1 wins. URA Final champion. Consecutive races without defeat. But it never mentioned anything personal, never hinted that I was standing right there in Tracen Academy uniform.
Emperor Rudolph flared with energy, sharp and competitive, her aura cutting through the field like a sword. I stood calm, collected, confident. My presence was different: controlled, mature, intimidating in a quiet way. She was the Emperor of chaos; I was the undefeated strategist who had mastered every skill, every Domain, every timing to near perfection.
The tension was electric. Every runner, every NPC, every spectator felt it. The announcer's words echoed again in the stadium, and the shock hit harder because it was official, undeniable. Tracen Academy Rudolph existed. Emperor Rudolph existed. And the two were now facing the same field.
I straightened, small smile touching my lips. "Well… let's see how this goes."
The track waited. The bell had not rung yet. The American Uma had no idea what they were about to witness. Emperor Rudolph had no idea.
Time to show America why i could dominate with a Domain, Aura project, zone, or burning eyes. XD
