No scumbag skills, and no need for scumbag skills.
Black Knight had already successfully dominated the entire track.
All the Umamusume were left far behind, unable to even eat the dust from her feet.
How powerful, and how terrifying!
Okino couldn’t imagine what kind of existence was beneath that ice-cold “armor.”
This wasn’t a Black Knight at all—this was clearly a demon knight like a devil!
“Black Knight successfully crosses the line with a massive lead!” Amid the commentator’s voice, still surrounded by shock, Black Knight easily crossed the finish line in front of everyone with an incomparable lead.
There was no so-called thrilling victory, no so-called equal-level opponent, and even less the ideal “friendship first, competition second”—what this race had was just one Umamusume’s crazy moves and her bizarre strength.
Although there were indeed some cheers after victory, they weren’t obvious.
Most people were still stunned by this sudden victory, so much so that they couldn’t even shout.
But Black Knight felt it didn’t matter, because this race had already earned her a large amount of emotion points.
You could say it was completely satisfying.
After raising an arm toward the spectators present, Black Knight left on her own.
She didn’t even take a breath, and there wasn’t the slightest joy of victory on her face, as if she weren’t the champion at all.
But in fact, only after she was almost inside the contestant exit did Great Warrior, the second-place finisher, finally reach the finish line, panting heavily.
Great Warrior, drained of strength and drenched in sweat, lay on the ground and turned to look at the black figure leaving the track.
That was so powerful—so powerful it didn’t seem like a normal Umamusume.
So powerful that all her past hard training seemed like a joke.
She herself was actually just a small fry to be casually crushed?
“Don’t joke around!” Using her last strength to punch the ground of the track, Great Warrior, full of unwillingness, kept staring at the gradually receding back.
“Next time, I absolutely have to win next time!” She definitely had to make this terrifying darkness surrender on the track!
The gaze behind her was naturally ignored by Black Knight.
She just easily and comfortably walked away, disappearing into the darkness of the contestant exit tunnel, leaving the spectators with nothing but an invincible back.
“…Too strong.” Okino slowly sighed, then put down the tablet in his hand.
He really couldn’t understand!
Where did such an amazing Umamusume pop out from?
The info showed she was a student of Sukegahara Academy, but hadn’t Sukegahara Academy basically become half a retirement home?
How could it possibly produce such a powerful Umamusume?
“And this was still a debut race.” Thinking of this, Okino couldn’t help but sigh again.
Generally speaking, the debut race was where all Umamusume were tested.
Using the debut race experience as a reference, they could understand what areas needed improvement in the future, then undergo deficiency-correcting training.
But Black Knight?
You could say she was basically at her peak right from debut!
She had almost no flaws.
Aside from liking to jump back and forth in the pack, she really had no flaws at all.
Very fast, strong legs, quite good stamina, able to nimbly weave through crowds, and her explosive power was terrifying to the extreme.
Too terrifying.
This kind of opponent was too terrifying.
At least for now, Okino didn’t think ordinary Umamusume could stand against Black Knight head-on—unless it was an elite Umamusume like Silence Suzuka.
“Ugh…” Little Kangbai-chan and Black Knight, these strange Umamusume appearing one after another, made Okino start to wonder—what exactly was wrong with this world?
On the other side, after entering the contestant exit, Black Knight didn’t linger much. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
She kept walking out of the racecourse.
No staff stopped her along the way, so she easily left the competition area.
After sending Miss Feiyuan-sensei a message to collect the award on her behalf, Black Knight directly left the racecourse, completely giving no one the chance to drag her off to dance.
Right now, she needed to find a scenic place to drop off her Screaming Shriek…
…………
The news that Black Knight had crushed the other contestants and won began spreading online.
Although her win was crazy and completely unlike what the audience imagined.
But she had indeed won with an incomparably powerful advantage, and had become one of the current popular Umamusume.
[Monster-like Strength]
[A Blade That Splits Any Weakness]
[The Secret of the Repeated Back-and-Forth Jumping]
News like this began spreading online.
Even people who didn’t know Black Knight, after reading these, gained a deep enough impression of this Umamusume.
—An Umamusume who, although she liked jumping back and forth in the pack and always had an expressionless face, had absolutely undeniable strength.
But soon, more news about Black Knight appeared online.
As for the reason—it was because Black Knight didn’t stay to participate in the Winner’s Stage after the race.
Instead, she left on her own, leaving only her trainer Miss Feiyuan-sensei to collect the award on her behalf.
Not only did she not go to the Winner’s Stage, but afterward, reporters who wanted to interview her couldn’t find her at all.
Miss Feiyuan-sensei’s side only received the message that she didn’t want to be interviewed.
Helplessly, the Winner’s Stage only had second-place Great Warrior and third place show up.
The protagonist Black Knight was nowhere to be found, which even made the Association feel a bit troubled.
But Black Knight herself didn’t care, because she really did receive a large amount of emotion points after the race.
These emotion points were completely enough for her to do another proper gacha pull.
So running really does give points fast!
Hurry up and let my other templates go run too!
“Oh! Is that Little Black-chan?” Inside Tracen Academy, Special Week, sitting in the cafeteria eating, looked at the race broadcast with a face full of surprise.
On TV, Black Knight reached the finish line with a crushing advantage, then raised an arm toward the audience and directly left the track, as if she disdained showing herself in front of the audience at all.
But it seemed some people really liked Black Knight’s cold aura, and a fan group quickly formed among the audience.
Some even defected from other Umamusume’s fan groups.
“So strong, Black Knight! With that kind of speed, she’ll definitely get the Triple Crown!” A fan interviewed said this.
He was very excited and his tone was full of certainty.
“Little Black-chan, so amazing…” Watching the interview on TV, Special Week couldn’t help but sigh.
If only she could become this amazing too.
“The trainer was talking about this Umamusume, right?” On the other side, the Spica team members, except for Little Kangbai-chan who was busy eating, were also staring blankly at Black Knight on TV.
“Black hair, golden eyes, kuudere face, very strong. It should be her.” Gold Ship summarized the traits the trainer had mentioned yesterday and felt this was definitely the Umamusume he was talking about.
“So this level is still just a debut?” Vodka looked in disbelief.
She really couldn’t believe such an amazing Umamusume had only just debuted.
Is this the momentum of running a debut race? Get faster updates on g.com.
Your ability is clearly for running G1!
How could a just-debuted Umamusume have such terrifying ability?
“Hey, Little Kangbai-chan, what do you think?” Gold Ship turned to look at Little Kangbai-chan beside her.
“Huh?” Putting down her already empty bowl, Little Kangbai-chan was a bit confused—what do you mean what do I think?
I’m just a support.
Do you expect me to outrun my other self?
“Mm… watching while sitting?”
“Come on, how could Little Kangbai-chan have any opinion about her?” Daiwa Scarlet turned and criticized Gold Ship’s choice.
She’d watched Little Kangbai-chan’s debut race too.
She could only say that running so fast with such short legs was indeed impressive, but that speed couldn’t even reach G2, right?
“But… I really want to try racing her.” On TV, Black Knight walked into the contestant exit under Great Warrior’s unwilling gaze.
Seeing this, Daiwa Scarlet suddenly wanted to race her too.
“Hmph, I’ll definitely beat her first!” Vodka snorted coldly.
After hearing Daiwa Scarlet’s words, she naturally started comparing herself to her.
“Hah? You dare say that! By then you’ll definitely be left unable to even see her back!”
“You’re the one! With your figure, it’s impossible for you to win!”
“…Ah~ here we go again.” Watching the two start arguing again, Gold Ship couldn’t help but yawn, then casually took the lemon soda from Little Kangbai-chan’s tray.
“Yeah, yeah.” Little Kangbai-chan nodded in agreement, then also casually took the bowl of rice from Gold Ship’s tray…
…………
At a rather rural racing association, the counter girl who had also finished watching Black Knight’s race couldn’t help but sigh, inwardly marveling at how strong she was.
But still, this kid was here to smurf, right?
Why was someone this strong only just debuting?!
Shouldn’t she be running G1 races already?
Tap tap tap~ Just as the counter girl was sighing like everyone else about Black Knight’s terrifying strength, a somewhat petite figure suddenly stepped into this racing association.
“Hey~ Onee-san, could you help me register my info? I’m here to compete~”
“Hm?” The counter girl turned her head and saw an Umamusume whose eyes were slightly hidden by short black hair, looking at her with a strange smile.
“Onee-san, are you stunned? Then I’ll say it again—I’m here to compete~” Her voice was very pleasant, even pleasant enough to be like a professional singer’s—soft and cute, like a little soft candy.
A voice like that was simply captivating.
Add in the two slender, fair arms she revealed, and it made her feel like a pretty porcelain doll—very charming.
“Um, little sister, I was just, just…” What a cute little thing, the counter girl thought, really wanting to pick her up and pet her.
And with such a charming voice, if she went singing, wouldn’t it sound especially good?
With that thought, the counter girl suddenly had the urge to have this child go perform on the Winner’s Stage.
“There’s no ‘just’~ Can you work, Onee-san? If not, I’ll come back later~” Still that somewhat strange smile.
Although the counter girl couldn’t say why it felt strange, aside from that bit of strangeness, the smile was also very charming.
“N-no, no, I can still work.” The counter girl shook her head to come back to her senses, then took a deep breath so she wouldn’t be captivated again by that charming voice.
“Alright then, little sister, you want to compete, right? So before choosing a race, could you tell me your name first?”
“My name?” The little girl showed that charming and strange smile again, then slowly told the counter girl her name—
“My name is pretty strange, you know~ It’s Screaming Shriek~”
