Compared to her previous training program, the new one he had formulated reduced the number of laps around the academy and replaced them with exercises using various equipment. After selling his house in Los Angeles and winning the Hokkaido Yushun, he was much better off financially. Through Brand New Shine's family, he had ordered a lot of sports equipment.
For the time being, all this equipment was placed in a few empty classrooms specially approved by the chairwoman. He had also proposed a plan to build a gym to the chairwoman, which was currently under discussion by the academy's senior management.
In any case, until they finished their bickering, only she could use this equipment—including a treadmill, a rowing machine, and a Smith machine, etc.
"Trainer, you've bought so much. She'll only be able to use it for a few years, right?" Brand New Shine said, looking at the bill, feeling a little pained. "And you even specified that all the equipment had to be imported..."
"If we can't use it, we'll just leave it for the academy's horse girls," he shrugged, not caring about the extra money he had spent. "After she retires, we'll be going to Central. What will be left for Kasamatsu then? Just memories of her active career? We should at least leave some training tools for everyone at the academy. Whether they use them or not is their business."
Brand New Shine had read the manuals. She touched this and that and muttered, "This equipment seems to be mostly for leg training."
"The main focus is on training the cardiopulmonary system and the legs, as well as balance and coordination," he turned his head and looked at Oguri Cap, who was looking around the room. "In the future, this will be the place where you train the most each week."
"Will the training time be as short as before?" The point she was concerned about was not what he had expected.
"No, of course not," he shrugged. "When you're running on the track, I have to consider the fatigue that accelerating will bring to your legs, so I have to control your training time. But after using this equipment, the training time will definitely be extended."
At this, he handed her a stack of paper from his pocket. "This is your daily equipment training schedule from today until the week before the Chukyo Cup. After the Chukyo Cup, I will adjust your training plan based on your performance."
"Okay," after taking the training plan, she carefully folded it and tucked it into the valley of her chest.
His gaze followed, then quickly averted.
For the next month, he would train with her during the day. Because there was only one of each type of equipment, he would always use it after she was done.
After training, he would go back to the office, occasionally chat with Kitahara, watch races, and talk about training matters. For the rest of the time, he would find a quiet place to teach Brand New Shine how to analyze races.
Her mother had also packed up her house and moved to Kasamatsu during this time, so sometimes he would get to eat food that Oguri Cap, who had spent the night with her mother, brought him.
This had caused him to gain a little weight recently. After Brand New Shine pointed it out, he increased his own daily training volume.
At night, he would enter his dream and continue his work as an apprentice jockey in the dream world.
During this time, because he had also delivered outstanding performances while riding weaker horses, he had received many riding commissions—at the cost of having less time to spend with her at the training center.
For him, the other horses in the dream world were just for passing the time. Only Oguri Cap was closely related to the real world. He really wanted to know how high her affinity could go. And what would happen when it did.
But for now, it seemed he was still far from achieving his goal. But he was not in a hurry. There was still a long way to go.
…
With one week left until the Chukyo Cup, he called a halt to her training.
"The Chukyo Cup is on the 14th. For the next few days, you just need to do the lowest intensity morning training. On the 10th, we'll do a single 6F (1200m) run on the academy's training track at a pace of 85 seconds. After that, you don't need to train, just save up your stamina."
"Okay!" Oguri Cap, who was just about to start training on the rowing machine, nodded vigorously and obediently got off.
She would no longer secretly add extra training like she did back in April. Although he had reduced the frequency and time she spent at the training track over the past month, she had noticed that her ability had improved significantly compared to the end of August, and she had also won the honor of a G3 Graded Race during the summer. The gray-coated horse girl no longer needed to secretly add training to satisfy her desire to become strong quickly.
Three days ago, Fujimasa March had won the Young Crown by an absolute advantage of five lengths. In the post-race interview, she had also, in front of reporters and the audience, issued a challenge to Oguri Cap.
"Kitahara-san is really going all out to beat us," Brand New Shine commented. "But you've been letting Oguri's training relax during this time. Is that really okay?"
"What's the rush," he said, staring at the obedient Oguri Cap standing by the classroom door, completely unconcerned. "Let her rest well. When the Chukyo Cup comes, we'll let Kitahara-san and Fujimasa March see what a summer champion is!"
Oguri Cap nodded vigorously. In her opinion, although Northan Ace and the others were all her friends, when it came to the racetrack, the only one at Kasamatsu Tracen Academy who could make her get serious was Fujimasa March.
Just as he was reducing her training intensity, in the student council president's office at Central Tracen Academy in Tokyo, Symboli Rudolf shook the poster in her hand at Maruzensky. "On the 14th, the Chukyo Cup, for horse girls from the Tokai region, will be held at Chukyo Racecourse. That gray-coated horse girl who won the Hokkaido Yushun Championship, the one trainer Tojo mentioned, will be participating. I plan to go watch in person. What about you?"
"Oh? Is that the local horse girl trained by that handsome young man?" Maruzensky squinted and accepted the invitation with a grin. "Then I'll definitely have to go see for myself."
Just as she finished speaking, a bay-coated uninvited guest pushed open the student council room door. "President! I want to go to Chukyo too!"
