Because someone had tragically, heavily fallen directly onto the dusty ground, the massive, thundering group came to a sudden, temporary halt. The loud commotion and violently coughing sounds even actively caused the disciplined Uma Musume leading the way to immediately stop their synchronized running and look back with deep concern at the medical situation.
"Do you absolutely need help? This poor lady looks... entirely a bit physically exhausted."
Symboli Rudolf ran over gracefully, her athletic form barely sweating, to carefully check on the collapsed, violently wheezing Patchouli Knowledge. She was incredibly, professionally familiar with this specific, terrifying kind of complete physical exhaustion; some novice Uma Musume whose strict endurance training was mathematically lacking would violently end up exactly like this pale, hyperventilating mess directly during the brutal final sprint of a G1 race. It was quite biologically dangerous and could easily, permanently cause massive physical damage to the lungs and heart.
"Thanks for the polite concern, but she's completely fine. We legally have an absolute, professional doctor on standby. Let me put it this way: even if you're violently reduced to absolutely nothing but smoking ashes, she can flawlessly revive you exactly as long as she logically has a clear photo of your face. Eirin, aggressively check her vitals."
Yuuka Kazami nodded politely to Symboli Rudolf, her terrifying, murderous aura temporarily, seamlessly fading into a neighborly smile. These massive horse yokai were incredibly decent, polite people, but she absolutely had a vastly, infinitely more powerful and terrifying medical doctor completely on her side.
Even the legendary 'Heaven Canceller' from Academy City would look exactly like a clueless, fumbling little girl directly in front of the ancient Eirin Yagokoro! If this terrifying Lunar woman absolutely didn't strictly want you to die, it would biologically be incredibly hard to actually die even if you desperately tried; literally even if you were violently cremated, she could probably, scientifically fish your soul directly out of the Underworld and stuff it back into a test tube!
"She's literally just collapsed from complete, pathetic overexertion, it's an absolute minor issue. Just simply let her lie here in the dirt for a while to catch her breath. You... Koakuma, you stay behind and strictly watch her. Take this highly concentrated Mint Camphor Ball and aggressively hold it directly near her nose; let her violently sniff it exactly every once in a while, and she'll be physically fine soon. The absolute rest of you, stop slacking and keep running!"
Eirin Yagokoro waved the others on with a cold, dismissive hand, her sharp, clinical gaze terrifyingly scanning the massive group before lingering menacingly on a certain, specific figure who was also magically, highly suspiciously attempting to gracefully faint.
"Miss Patchouli is an absolute, biological exception that I've completely, personally examined and diagnosed. At the exact same time, I strongly, aggressively advise certain lazy people absolutely not to challenge my professional medical expertise! Maliciously faking illness is a complete dead end; your absolute only two options are receiving the explosive Magic Cannon to the back or forcefully drinking my experimental, radioactive potions!"
Exactly two specific, trembling figures in the massive group—one with long, beautiful blonde curls and the other with long, straight black hair—violently faltered exactly mid-swoon for a tense moment before instantly, flawlessly straightening up exactly as if absolutely nothing had happened!
"Hah! Serves you completely right for absolutely never, ever exercising, you massive shut-in! Exactly why are you panting heavily exactly like a dying dog now?! Where exactly is your so-called, arrogant 'lady-like grace'?!"
Mokou Fujiwara laughed incredibly spitefully, pointing a mocking finger. She had been completely, peacefully sleeping earlier this dark morning when this arrogant girl forcibly, violently dragged her out here by her collar, maliciously claiming Eirin heavily said she desperately needed a 'companion' for her morning run.
Seeing the arrogant Kaguya Houraisan huffing and puffing now, completely drenched in sticky sweat, made her incredibly, deeply happy. If she could actively see Kaguya physically looking exactly like an exhausted, dying dog every single day, she would gladly, expensively pay raw gold to happily participate in these brutal morning runs!
The massive group aggressively set off again, completely following closely behind the disciplined Uma Musume exactly as they began warming up around the dusty perimeter of Stardew Valley.
It was strictly, mathematically supposed to simply be exactly five kilometers, but exactly as they aggressively ran, it violently, competitively turned into a massive, unspoken competition to see exactly which arrogant side would biologically drop the ball first. The proud Uma Musume absolutely had their athletic pride as racers, and Yuuka Kazami absolutely had her terrifying, glowing Magic Cannon!
"Get physically moving! You're supposedly an ancient Great Youkai, are you actually, genuinely worried about simply running yourself to actual death?! If you completely, really die right now, I'll personally, violently go down to the Underworld to aggressively drag you right back up by your hair! If you absolutely dare fall behind the horses today, I'll violently kill you!"
A massive, green parasol terrifyingly condensing dangerous, blinding magical power was aggressively, violently pressed directly against Yukari Yakumo's sweaty lower back! Yuuka Kazami glared at her with an incredibly unfriendly, murderous expression; this lazy person was literally the absolute only pathetic dead weight in the entire group.
Just logically look at Kaguya Houraisan—when her delicate legs get biologically tired from the running impact, she literally, casually snaps them completely off and violently swaps them out by instantly regenerating new ones, and exactly when her arms get sore from swinging, she completely replaces those too! ...Exactly why on earth can't you simply learn from her Hourai immortality?!
It was incredibly, absolutely a good thing the Youkai were completely running behind the Uma Musume. If they were running in the absolute front, the horrifying, bloody sight of Kaguya's discarded, severed limbs casually flying absolutely everywhere into the bushes would have completely, violently scared quite a few innocent horse girls to literal, psychological death!
Fortunately, the Uma Musume's raw, physical stamina absolutely wasn't completely infinite either. The young, inexperienced Uma Musume who had absolutely just newly enrolled this academic year didn't logically have nearly as much cardiovascular endurance as their elite seniors and gradually, exhaustingly began to violently fall out of the tight military formation, gasping for air.
Seeing this dangerous physical drop-off, the strict Air Groove and the experienced Maruzensky, who were diligently herding at the rear, decisively, aggressively blew their loud silver whistles to completely stop the massive group. They were strictly here to physically train, and recklessly overtraining could incredibly easily lead to massive, career-ending muscle injuries, which would be entirely counterproductive to the Goddesses' plan.
"Finally... it finally, completely stopped!"
Yukari Yakumo instantly collapsed and lay entirely flat on the dusty ground, panting violently exactly like a dying Golden Retriever on a hot day. She had absolutely never physically walked or ran this massive amount of distance in her entire, thousands-of-years-long life!
Youmu Konpaku and Hong Meiling, who had been effortlessly, smoothly positioned running on either side of Yukari Yakumo the entire time, exchanged a bewildered look and shrugged their shoulders. They absolutely didn't feel a single, tiny thing in their muscles after those few pathetic laps; it logically didn't even biologically count as a basic martial arts warm-up for them. This panting, sweaty mess is the legendary, terrifying Sage of Youkai? What an absolute, complete joke!
"Safely rest exactly where you are for a bit. I'm going to aggressively see exactly what they're scientifically doing next."
Yuuka Kazami frowned deeply in absolute disgust exactly as she glanced down at the sweaty, groaning Yukari Yakumo on the ground. What an incredibly disgraceful, pathetic fellow.
Walking elegantly over to the panting Uma Musume group, Yuuka Kazami carefully, clinically observed their synchronized, dynamic stretching movements. Exactly since she had completely, aggressively taken on the massive role of absolutely everyone's 'Trainer-san', she naturally had to completely take absolute responsibility and physically learn exactly how to train absolutely everyone scientifically and efficiently. She was fundamentally the terrifying type who entirely relied on massive, raw, overwhelming magical power to completely overcome all obstacles and honestly didn't really logically know much about actual, modern athletic training methods.
"We are currently completely doing lactic-acid muscle relaxation. Today's massive training officially consists of raw strength and academic intelligence training. This sunny morning we'll absolutely be brutally dragging heavy truck tires on the deep sand at the beach, and in the hot afternoon exactly when it gets dangerously hot, we'll actively have strict written exams in the cool dormitory. If you're physically interested, we can happily train together."
Symboli Rudolf enthusiastically, politely explained the strict training content directly to Yuuka Kazami. During the massive run earlier, she had sharply, professionally noticed quite a few terrifyingly fast, elite experts casually running in the Gensokyo group. If it absolutely weren't entirely for the strict fact that it was officially mandatory training time, she would have completely, violently wanted to aggressively go right up to them and challenge them directly to a high-speed turf race!
"I'll be heavily troubling you then. I'll aggressively bring my massive group along. Please professionally point out absolutely any physical areas where we're athletically lacking."
In her completely normal, non-combat state, Yuuka Kazami was incredibly, genuinely very easy to politely talk to and quite surprisingly gentle. Exactly as long as absolutely no one stupidly made her angry or stepped on her flowers, she was the absolute, perfect, elegant 'big sister' type.
After actively gathering the new athletic information, she aggressively arranged for absolutely everyone in her group to exhaustingly perform several massive sets of dynamic stretches exactly following the Uma Musume's professional movements. Then, the two massive groups completely merged and aggressively headed directly toward the distant southern beach, exactly where Leo had absolutely already prepared the massive, heavy equipment for raw strength training completely according to the academy's strict, heavy requirements.
"Hic~ You're finally here."
An incredibly massive, literal giant Suika Ibuki heavily sat exactly on the sandy beach, drunkenly clutching a massive, boulder-sized sake gourd! She was officially the incredibly expensive 'prop team' Leo had actively hired with a massive bribe of exactly one hundred bottles of premium, aged fruit wine! She could freely, magically control her own massive physical weight and density to completely act as an adjustable, living counterweight and could absolutely also use chaotic magic clones to seamlessly create countless, identical mini-Suikas! Was there absolutely any logically better, magical candidate for the heavy lifting job?!
"Whoa~~"
Looking in absolute, wide-eyed awe at the massive, skyscraper-sized giant Suika heavily sitting on the beach, the massive herd of Uma Musume let out incredibly adorable, synchronized cries of absolute surprise. Literally just exactly one of her massive wooden sandals was completely physically taller than they were; it was a terrifying, magical sight they had absolutely never visually seen before in their sci-fi world!
"Sorry to trouble you, Suika. Let's aggressively begin the heavy training."
Leo smoothly asked Symboli Rudolf for the heavy clipboard training schedule, which meticulously listed the specific, massive, customized physical weights completely designed for each specific Uma Musume's leg strength.
"Absolutely no problem, hic, just leave it completely to me!"
The massive, giant Suika aggressively pressed her huge hands completely together, and a massive, blinding cloud of thick white mist magically appeared heavily around her. Exactly one by one, dozens of adorable, tiny mini-Suikas happily jumped out of her massive body, magically adjusted their own physical body weights exactly according to Leo's clipboard requirements, and heavily sat down exactly on the prepared, heavy wooden dragging boards. The sweating Uma Musume would then simply, physically pull the heavy wooden boards on the thick sand exactly as they ran.
"So incredibly amazing! So incredibly cute!"
Looking exactly at the dozens of tiny, little Suikas sitting completely obediently on the heavy wooden boards, happily clutching their tiny, matching sake gourds, the adorable, tiny figures instantly caused massive, glowing pink hearts to magically appear directly in the wide eyes of incredibly many Uma Musume! There was absolutely no helping it; absolutely no one in the universe could physically refuse a cute, tiny Suika!
"Ahem! Absolutely show some respect! This is the terrifying, legendary Shuten-douji, an absolute Oni Heavenly King! It is your absolute, massive honor that she is graciously accompanying you in your grueling training! Absolutely no aggressive pinching, absolutely no unauthorized hugging, and completely, definitely no kissing the clones! I'm strictly talking directly to you, Agnes Digital! Put that tiny lady down right now!!!"
Symboli Rudolf warned them incredibly loudly and aggressively through the crackling megaphone, her ears pinned back, but some completely obsessed, otaku Uma Musume still quietly, secretly gave the tiny Suikas a massive, squeezing hug, their faces entirely blooming with incredibly happy, melting smiles.
Suika absolutely didn't mind the attention at all, simply sitting completely relaxed on the heavy wooden dragging boards and happily gulping down massive amounts of sake from her endless gourd as she was rapidly pulled across the sand!
