Upon their first meeting, Polaris Glacier’s gaze was fixed on the other party.
For a moment, Symboli Rudolf was slightly stunned, feeling a distinct Chilling Aura sweep across her skin, threatening to envelop her entirely.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a flame-like aura emerged around her, immediately isolating Chilling Aura.
At the same time, she also noticed the source of Chilling Aura—that Polaris Glacier who made no attempt to conceal her fighting spirit.
Thoughts surged for a moment, but she didn’t rush to speak, choosing instead to look at Secretary Shunkawa.
Hayakawa Tazuna maintained a smile on her face, introducing the newcomers as if nothing was amiss.
“Rudolph President, these two are Trainer Kumi and Miss Polaris Glacier.”
“It seems they have something to discuss with you.”
Symboli Rudolf nodded slightly upon hearing this, making a mental note of the name Polaris Glacier.
A smile played on her lips, and she first gave Secretary Shunkawa a look.
Hayakawa Tazuna immediately understood, though a hint of regret appeared in her eyes.
She turned to look at Polaris Glacier again, then quietly exited the room.
“Trainer, you should also go out first.”
Following closely, as if a tacit understanding had been reached, Polaris Glacier gave instructions without shifting her gaze.
Kumi naturally sensed that the atmosphere between the two Uma Musume was off.
She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.
“Understood, Young Lady.”
After a nervous glance at her Young Lady, she finally nodded and also quietly exited the room.
Once outside the room, she saw that Secretary Shunkawa had not left.
When Secretary Shunkawa saw her come out, she made a shushing gesture with her finger.
Then she leaned lightly against the door, appearing to be trying to eavesdrop.
Kumi opened her mouth slightly again, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Ultimately, she chose to do the same as the other party, leaning lightly against the door, trying to catch any words that might leak out.
Inside the room, Symboli Rudolf smiled and stood up, saying with some emotion and considerable interest:
“This kind of cold aura, it’s my first time experiencing it.
It seems the Twinkle Series will become more and more interesting from now on.”
The Twinkle Series is the main type of competition in Central.
Most competitions participated in Central belong to the Twinkle Series.
“How about sitting down for some tea?”
Symboli Rudolf gestured to the sofa nearby and, without waiting for Polaris Glacier’s response, began preparing tea on her own.
“Mm, thank you.”
Polaris Glacier lowered her gaze in thought for a moment, then quietly withdrew her gaze and sat down.
During this time, she thought for a moment and then stated her original purpose:
“Symboli Rudolf, I want to race against you.”
“Oh?
Can I interpret that as you declaring war on me?”
After all, she couldn’t control her fighting spirit the moment they met, and even released her aura.
Anyone who saw that would think she came to declare war.
“You can think that way,” Polaris Glacier had no intention of denying it.
“You haven’t participated in your debut race yet, have you?”
A question phrased as a statement, Symboli Rudolf was certain she hadn’t seen any information about Polaris Glacier running in a race.
“Mm, not yet, but that shouldn’t affect me running with you, should it?”
After all, it wasn’t necessary to run on a formal track; a private run was perfectly acceptable.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Symboli Rudolf’s lips widened a bit.
She placed the tea on the table in front of them and then sat down.
Facing each other, Symboli Rudolf spread her hands and said dismissively:
“No, you’re wrong.
It will affect it.”
She paused, then added a sentence.
“After all, I have no interest in competing with an unknown nobody who hasn’t even won her debut race.”
Polaris Glacier did not respond immediately.
She first took a deep breath, then narrowed her eyes slightly and said:
“Are you scared?
Scared of losing to an unknown nobody who hasn’t even had her debut race?”
“Pfft, ha ha ha ha ha!”
This remark made Symboli Rudolf slightly stunned, then she suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter.
“My apologies, that was rude.”
After calming down, she regained her composure and said:
“For you to say such a thing, should I call it ignorance or fearlessness?”
The next moment, Symboli Rudolf suddenly stood up and slammed her hands on the table, leaning forward as her aura abruptly erupted, pressing down on Polaris Glacier.
“Listen well, I don’t care where you came from, ignorant Young Lady.
There are countless people who want to race me.
So far, no one has ever beaten me.
Do you think you can be that person?”
“Don’t underestimate Central!”
The pressing aura grew heavier, and the teacups on the table even trembled slightly.
“So?” Polaris Glacier said calmly, her slightly longer bangs obscuring her eyes.
She suddenly lifted her head, and an extreme Chilling Aura instantly emanated.
The frost in her eyes had already spread and overflowed, subtly shifting towards a profound black.
“Is your understanding only this shallow?
Then let me help you shatter it and rearrange it!”
“With my strength!
With my legs!
I’ll make you understand who truly is the ignorant and fearless one.”
The auras of both sides intertwined, neither giving an inch.
Symboli Rudolf, secretly shocked by the now bone-chilling Chilling Aura and realizing the situation had deviated from her expectations, began to ponder how to resolve it.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Following it was a somewhat charming voice:
“Rudolph~ What secret talks are you having in there?”
She paused, and apparently not receiving a response, the other party added another sentence.
“I’m going to push the door open~”
Upon hearing this, Symboli Rudolf secretly thanked Maruzensky.
She took a step back, dispersed her aura, and sat back down on the sofa.
Polaris Glacier also closed her eyes lightly, exhaling a breath while dispelling Chilling Aura.
Three seconds later, Maruzensky pushed the door open, a clear smile still on her lips.
She looked at the two people present, her gaze lingering on Polaris Glacier for a moment, then sat down casually to their side.
Picking up the teapot and pouring herself a cup of tea, she asked with a curious expression:
“Rudolph, and Miss Polaris, are you enjoying your chat?
I hope Big Sister didn’t interrupt you, did she?”
She had just returned to the student council room and found Secretary Shunkawa and an unfamiliar lady pressed against the door, clearly eavesdropping.
This piqued her curiosity, and she immediately pulled the two aside to understand the general situation.
Upon learning that both parties inside had requested to speak alone, she felt a slight unease for some reason.
After a moment of thought, she decisively chose to knock and intervene.
Now, it seemed her choice was indeed correct; the atmosphere between Rudolph and Miss Polaris was particularly off.
It looked like they had just had an argument.
Taking a sip of tea, Maruzensky suddenly frowned and said with dissatisfaction:
“Rudolph, this pot of tea is already completely cold.”
Upon hearing this, Symboli Rudolf offered an apologetic smile and said:
“I’m sorry, Maruzensky, could I ask you to show this young lady around the academy?”
Polaris Glacier also came back to her senses, knowing she could take the hint.
She likewise asked the Horse Girl named Maruzensky beside her:
“I’ll trouble you.”
Maruzensky placed her index finger on her lips, appearing to be thinking, then nodded:
“No problem, Polaris.
Let’s go, Polaris.”
The two then stood up and left.
Before leaving the meeting room, Maruzensky turned back and winked at Symboli Rudolf.
Symboli Rudolf shook her head and chuckled at this, feeling grateful that the other party was there to help at such a time.
She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the group below, her gaze purposefully fixed on that Polaris Glacier.
“Polaris Glacier, huh…
She already possesses such a terrifying aura before even making her debut.”
“I’m afraid she’s already touched that realm as well.”
“I’m looking forward to it, the day I compete against you on the track.”
Meanwhile, in the hallway below the teaching building.
“Well then, Miss Polaris, I’ll head back to the academy entrance first.”
Hayakawa Tazuna smiled and waved, leaving the group.
Now, Maruzensky was leading, Polaris Glacier was following beside her, and Trainer Kumi was standing a little further back.
The swimming pool, the gym, the dance studio, the outdoor stage, the library, the summer training camp facilities, the free buffet restaurant, and so on.
