Veteran style.
This playstyle only existed in Sakura Bakushin O's previous life's Uma Musume mobile game.
As the name suggests, it means having the Uma Musume frequently participate in races, relying on these races to gain a large number of attribute points and rewards.
However, this playstyle requires a lot from the Uma Musume; they must have very good distance adaptability and also be resilient and not prone to illness.
Many of the items Sakura Bakushin O could purchase through the system points had similar functional effects to the items in her previous life's mobile game.
Thus, she came up with this idea.
Could races replace training, allowing Horse Girl to gain far more race experience and growth than other Horse Girl?
Among Horse Girl, there is a training method called "parallel running."
This means having two Horse Girl run side by side, inspiring each other's fighting spirit and achieving better training results.
Sakura Bakushin O occasionally had Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen do parallel running.
She eventually found that the results were extremely good.
Much better than training in a conventional manner.
But to talk about the fastest way for Horse Girl to grow, it still had to be through participating in more official races.
Competing against powerful Horse Girl.
To gain more growth and experience.
Typically,
Different race courses and tracks often require Horse Girl to spend a lot of time practicing and adapting.
In reality, it's impossible to participate in races with the frequency of once every half month, as in games.
But after understanding the leg quality of Satono Diamond and Kitasan Black, Sakura Bakushin O discovered that
These two Horse Girl's overall distance adaptability was slightly higher than Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen.
In other words, a distance that other Horse Girl usually need a long time to get used to, Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond might only need a very short time to adapt to.
This was a talent unique to the two of them.
Good distance adaptability means being able to participate in a wider variety of races.
No need to be confined to races of a single length.
Furthermore, the items she obtained through the system could quickly restore the Horse Girl's stamina and mood, and also enable them to achieve greater growth than other Horse Girl after participating in races.
In the anime of her previous life, Tokai Teio suffered three fractures.
In this life, Sakura Bakushin O had tried her best to avoid such incidents, but in the Arima Kinen at the end of last year, Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen competed with all their might, and both ended up with fractures.
Therefore, Sakura Bakushin O couldn't apply the veteran running style to these two injury-prone Horse Girl.
Although her system could also cure illnesses, it couldn't instantly heal them like in a game.
But Kitasan Black was different!
This one was hailed as the 'Tokai Teio without injuries,' and her physical health was comparable to a certain gray 'monster.'
"Anyway, if there are any bad signs, I'll just call it off in time. Kita and Diamond have basically the same distance adaptability, so they're perfect for a control experiment..."
As soon as this idea came to her, Sakura Bakushin O couldn't help but feel a restless eagerness.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became; her blood even started to boil.
"In Japan, where even the strongest Horse Girl, Symboli Rudolf, has only won seven G1 championships, if an Horse Girl suddenly appeared who won ten championships in a single year, wouldn't that shock the entire world?"
Sakura Bakushin O murmured to herself, feeling that it was worth trying.
Of course, this was reality, not a game.
The possibility of an Horse Girl winning every race without any training, just by consuming countless items, was basically zero.
However, with the system's items and strategy, Sakura Bakushin O could completely train these two newly recruited Horse Girl in two different directions.
Kitasan Black would participate in races at several times the frequency of other Horse Girl.
Satono Diamond would undergo training at several times the frequency of other Horse Girl.
If the theory was feasible, then Satono Diamond and Kitasan Black could achieve incredibly terrifying accomplishments.
Sakura Bakushin O gazed intently at Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond, these two Horse Girl who had joined the team less than half a day ago.
She was already eager to pull out a pile of aojiru and have these two Horse Girl start training.
Her fervent expression made Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond, the two involved parties, feel a chill emanating from the depths of their hearts.
Satono Diamond and Kitasan Black looked at Sakura Bakushin O's impatient expression, like a hawk starved for three days seeing a chick, and both shivered.
They exchanged glances, suddenly beginning to doubt whether joining Sakura Bakushin O's team was truly the right decision.
Sakura Bakushin O also realized her lapse in composure at this moment, snapping out of her fantasy of training two more legendary Horse Girl.
She clenched her hand into a fist and lightly coughed by her mouth.
"Ahem… Tonight, I will formulate your training and race plans. Kita and Diamond, although you two have an inseparable bond, you will ultimately become rivals. Just like Teio and McQueen."
Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond exchanged glances again, then nodded gently.
"Therefore, my training plans for the two of you cannot be the same. After all, the races you participate in are also different. Can you accept this?"
"Okay."
"No problem."
The two Horse Girl agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Alright, today you can familiarize yourselves with campus life normally; formal training will begin tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond nodded in unison.
Then, Sakura Bakushin O turned her gaze to Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen, who were watching the show with expressions of either sympathy or a hint of schadenfreude.
"You two!"
"Here!" Mejiro McQueen instantly straightened her body.
Tokai Teio, on the other hand, let out a startled "Eek—!"
"You just heard what Symboli Rudolf said; you've both reached a bottleneck. Whoever breaks through faster will quickly surpass the other. So, in the coming days, your training and races must not slacken; you must set an example for your juniors."
"Okay!"
"Understood~"
Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen both nodded in agreement.
They were also not satisfied with their current achievements, as both believed that it wasn't a victory until they had far outdistanced the other.
"That's all for today; you're dismissed."
Sakura Bakushin O said, then pushed the door open and walked out first.
And after she left and the door closed again, the four members of TCB finally relaxed their long-tense bodies.
"Speaking of which, I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow's training," Satono Diamond said with a smile.
"Yes, Diamond, me too."
Beside them, Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen, listening to the incredibly naive remarks of these two junior Horse Girl, exchanged knowing glances.
