A massive virtual screen was hovering above the railing beside Okinoki.
Written on it were the words:
[Name: Geng Si]
[Unique Skill: Body of a Dragon Lv.1]
[Description: Completely breaks through the body’s limits!
During a race, in the final 400 meters, speed will increase.
Each time she overtakes an Uma Musume, her speed will increase slightly.]
[(Hidden) At certain moments, she will release an extremely powerful pressure, like that of a fierce beast or savage monster.]
“What is this?” Geng Si asked in confusion.
“What?
Oh, that’s the trainer.
Of course, I know you’re asking about the thing beside him.
That’s a special finish-line sign custom-made by Senior Hishi Amazon.
Pretty cool, right?” Gold Ship said excitedly.
But Gold Ship did not mention the virtual screen beside Okinoki at all.
“Can she not see it…?
What exactly is this?”
Although Geng Si was confused inside, she did not say it out loud.
The screen only displayed her own information, as well as that so-called unique skill.
She had no idea what it was used for.
So far, she had not seen anything particularly sci-fi.
In fact, it did not seem like there was anything sci-fi here at all.
But none of that mattered for now.
When Okinoki saw them walking over, he greeted her.
“Yo!
Geng Si.”
“Hello, Trainer.
I’m here to train with Team Spica for a while,” Geng Si said, walking up to Okinoki and giving a slight bow.
Since people in Japan valued bowing etiquette, Geng Si followed the local custom and bowed politely in greeting.
“Got it, got it,” Okinoki said, not caring at all about what Geng Si had just said.
After coming to Team Spica, did she really think they would let her run away?
“So, how are we going to train next?” Geng Si asked seriously.
After all, she still had no idea what she was truly capable of when running.
If she ended up performing terribly, she would really die of embarrassment.
She noticed that Uma Musume training seemed quite similar to that of student athletes: cultural classes in the morning and physical training in the afternoon.
It was more or less like that.
“Here’s the plan, Geng Si.
Right now, the only information I have on you is from the debut race you participated in back in China.
So, for this session, I’ll arrange a mock race for you.
You’ll run a 1600-meter mock race against Tokai Teio, Special Week, and Gold Ship.
Once I identify your strengths and weaknesses, I’ll arrange the appropriate supplementary training for you,” Okinoki said.
“Understood,” Geng Si said with a nod.
After some preparation, Daiwa Scarlet held a flag in her hand.
“Okay!” they all answered in unison.
However, at that moment, Geng Si was still thinking about the information she had just seen.
“A fierce beast or savage monster?”
Just as she was thinking about it, an indescribable atmosphere slowly began to rise around her.
The three Uma Musume beside her could feel it clearly.
“Ready!”
“Go!”
The three Uma Musume shot forward at high speed.
However, Geng Si was 0.5 seconds late and followed behind them.
“They’re fast.
Are all Uma Musume like this?
But I’m not tired either…
This feeling of racing like the wind is amazing!
I feel like I could outrun a car!”
In the distance, Okinoki stood at the finish line, looking at the stopwatch in his hand with some confusion.
“This speed…
It’s only a mock race…”
At that moment, Tokai Teio, who was running at the very front, felt a sense of fear.
“Why am I feeling this?”
The other two Uma Musume felt something similar as well.
Meanwhile, Geng Si was still behind all three of them.
“Is she choosing the end-closing running style?
But in her debut race, she ran as a front-runner.
And she looked very suited to running up front too…”
Okinoki stood at the finish line, constantly watching the condition of the three Uma Musume who were running.
At that moment, the three Uma Musume were still running with all their strength.
Geng Si, who was chasing from behind, was not too far from Gold Ship, who was in second-to-last place.
“One thousand meters…
This time?”
“Hey, hey, at this pace, it doesn’t really feel like a mock race anymore.”
At that moment, the members of Team Rigil, standing on higher ground, were also watching the four Uma Musume racing.
Rudolf stood by the railing, looking at the four Uma Musume running on the track.
“Geng Si…”
Just then, Geng Si saw the 400-meter sign.
At the same time, she felt as though her legs were craving acceleration.
“So that’s how it is?
Then let’s charge with everything I have!”
As she said that, Geng Si lowered her head and sprinted forward with all her might.
The pressure around her grew heavier and heavier, and the three Uma Musume ahead of her all chose to accelerate at the same time.
But Geng Si was even faster!
She surged forward at terrifying speed.
Her long, jet-black hair whipped through the wind like a wild beast brandishing its claws and fangs.
At that moment, she seemed as though she was craving blood.
It was as if another layer of shackles had been released from her legs, and her speed increased once again.
In the blink of an eye, she overtook the other two Uma Musume as well.
Her speed continued to rise, and then Geng Si suddenly shot past the finish-line sign beside Okinoki.
Only after that did her speed gradually decrease.
At that moment, however, the lollipop Okinoki had been holding in his mouth fell out because he was staring in complete shock.
“1600 meters…
with this big of a gap?!”
Not far away, Geng Si stood in place.
After taking a breath, her breathing quickly stabilized, as if the genes inside her body would not allow her to get tired after running only 1600 meters.
“The feeling of running…
is amazing…
So why didn’t I feel this way when my school made me run 1000 meters for the physical fitness test before?”
Geng Si fell into silence.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a consciousness telling her that she ought to hide herself properly.
“There are still dark sides to this world…
That’s right.
It looks like I need to protect myself.
I should only reveal my true strength during official races.”
Geng Si rubbed her chin.
As she thought, Admire Vega, not far away, was also looking at Geng Si in shock.
“Is she really a new student?” Vodka cried out.
Beside her, Daiwa Scarlet also wore a shocked expression.
“No wonder…
No wonder Teio called her Senior Geng Si.”
Rudolf, standing by the railing, also slightly parted her lips.
“So this is…
the culmination of China’s efforts?
A monster?”
Only a small number of Uma Musume witnessed this scene.
Before an official race took place, the name Geng Si seemed to remain nothing more than a name on the list of newly enrolled students.
At that moment, after sorting out everything in her mind, Geng Si showed a somewhat regretful expression.
“I’d really like to experience that feeling again.
But it looks like in my debut race, I’ll need to finish ahead of every other Uma Musume.”
“Show everyone what true stamina means…
Traveling a thousand li by day and eight hundred by night…
Hahaha.”
As Geng Si thought this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Beside Okinoki, Special Week showed a frightened expression.
“It felt like there was a wild beast chasing me from behind.
My body was screaming at me to run faster…”
Okinoki turned his head and looked at Geng Si, who was walking toward them.
“Looks like she really is an incredible monster…”
