Pegasus? Actually, I'm a doctor!

[Random selection in progress...]

The next moment!

Several images of people appeared on the panel, all deeply familiar and shocking to Lin Anran.

These were characters that appeared on Lin Anran's phone along with the Uma Musume, characters from a game he had played for a while, even though he had skipped a lot of the plot. The game was called... Arknights!

As if drawing cards, the panel continuously flickered with character portraits he knew extremely well, portraits he thought he would never see again.

"Huh? Amiya? That's a donkey, not an Uma Musume, right?"

"Linguang? Pantheon?!"

"Exusiai?"

"Old woman? Kal'tsit??"

"Wait a minute, why is Uncle Manner here? This isn't some 'Uma Musume Man'!"

The usually calm and collected "black-hearted" school doctor was utterly dumbfounded.

But in the end, the panel finally settled on a slightly petite, slender, fair-skinned girl.

The girl's eyes were filled with a languid air, and her snow-white, waist-length hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her youthful, girlish figure subtly outlined the curves of her development, her slender waist not completely hidden.

While possessing the innocent, youthful innocence of a girl, she exuded an aura of "stay away from me," as if she had been through a lot and was extremely lazy. The strong sense of contrast was enough to leave a deep impression on others.

This stark contrast, this doll-like exquisiteness that made one want to hug her, might lead outsiders to worry if this body was good enough, if she could successfully win the race.

The white-haired girl's designation was—Platinum·Centaurea.

In her game portrait, she was a sniper operator who used a bow and arrow as her weapon, appearing as a harmless, delicate, and lazy girl.

The identity he was about to transform into, the identity that would compete on the track against other Uma Musume, was...

Lin Anran's pupils suddenly constricted!

It was Platinum?!

Lin Anran had skipped a lot of Arknights' cryptic plot and didn't understand it that well, but he still knew a bit.

In his memory, Platinum's real name was Hintleia. She was a special race from the continent of Terra, the Kuranta tribe, who were naturally gifted runners. They were the so-called "Heavenly Horses," with characteristics like horse ears and tails, their appearances completely identical to Uma Musume.

Hintleia initially worked as an idol knight and later became a high-ranking member of the assassin organization, the Uncaged Alliance, known as "Platinum Major," thus earning her the codename "Platinum."

But in reality, Platinum was an assassin girl who desperately wanted to slack off and slack off.

"Can... can I really win with this?"

[True Name: Hintleia] [Codename: Platinum] [Race: Kuranta] [Height: 160CM] [Current Formalization Progress: 5%] [Track Adaptability: Grass (A), Dirt (B)] [Distance Adaptability: Short Distance (B), Mile (A), Middle Distance (A), Long Distance (B)] [Racing Style Adaptability: Leader (B), Chaser (A), Closer (A), Sweeper (A)] [Unique Skill: ???] [Note: The more Uma Musume you treat as a doctor, and the better the treatment, the more your formalization progress and unique skills will gradually increase.] [Treated: Big Red (Minor Injury Treatment Level 100%)] [Treatment Reward: Formalization Progress +5%, Uma Musume Strength Slightly Increased, Horse Mint +10% (Before Transformation)]

Lin Anran was dumbfounded as he looked at Platinum's personal panel, which he could transform into.

This distance and racing style adaptability... she was almost a jack-of-all-trades?!

Moreover, formalization was the rapid growth period for Uma Musume, much like a girl's adolescence. Platinum could also achieve this?

And according to the description, the more Uma Musume he treated and the better the treatment, the more generous the rewards would be, and the transformed Platinum would continuously become stronger?

But what did this "Horse Mint +10%" mean? He had only ever heard of catnip. It probably wasn't important, and since he couldn't make money from it, he'd just ignore it for now.

"This is interesting—!"

In that case, even if his transformed "glass cannon ADC Platinum" might not be strong enough to win GI races for now, as long as he treated more Uma Musume, his chances of winning would definitely increase!

So, if he saved more little horses, he could win more little horses, earn more prize money, improve his medical skills, and thus achieve a perfect cycle?!

This situation made the "black-hearted" doctor's eyes light up, and his already limited medical ethics surged dramatically!

After all, how much could he earn by just treating minor illnesses?

Whether it was the prize money from Uma Musume races or improving his medical skills to treat seriously injured Uma Musume, he would earn much more than he did now. And from this perspective, as long as he treated more Uma Musume! And participated in more races! Then he could become stronger as an Uma Musume and also have the hope of improving in treating Uma Musume!

While contemplating the races, prize money, and his transformation, he sat back in his office chair and continued to think.

"Then I should debut as soon as possible in the next couple of days..."

Lin Anran, who was deep in thought, then heard approaching footsteps and a knock on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The knocks were crisp and rapid, seeming somewhat flustered and urgent, completely disrupting Lin Anran's train of thought.

This is...

Already have a patient on the first day?

After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Anran's heart leaped with joy, and he immediately called out.

"Please come in."

The next moment, the door was pushed open.

A petite and delicate young Uma Musume hobbled in, leaning on a cane.

"Doctor, do you have a way... to heal my leg?"

The small, hopeful, and nervous girl looked up at Lin Anran in the infirmary, her eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Anran immediately recognized the identity of this petite Uma Musume.

This is Tokai Teio, the top-tier Uma Musume who is full of value and can win a lot of prize money in my eyes?! I'm meeting her on the very first day?

The "black-hearted doctor" suppressed the upward curve of his lips and his joyous mood, nodding seriously.

"Yes!"

"A doctor's duty is to the people. Please entrust your body and prize... money to me."

2. The Black-Hearted Doctor's Treatment, Heavenly Horse Descends

Tokai Teio!

A major inspirational protagonist from the Uma Musume anime, she moved and shocked everyone with her miraculous recovery after overcoming three fractures!

However!

Inspiration, dreams, and miracles are precious treasures for young boys and girls, but they don't belong in the cold, adult world.

As the "black-hearted doctor," Lin Anran's focus was on the [three fractures]!

This meant that this super genius, who could win GI races and earn massive prize money, might get injured again.

Although it was a rather malicious thought, with Tokai Teio's leg condition, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn't become a repeat customer!

Lin Anran had been playing the long game in America, hoping to catch Uma Musume who could win major races, but he hadn't even seen any G2 or G3 level Uma Musume.

Yet now, on his first day in Japan, he had met Tokai Teio, who could win the highest-level GI race championships!

This wasn't just an Uma Musume; she was the benefactor he had long awaited and cherished!

Adhering to the philosophy that the customer is God, Lin Anran's attitude was incredibly enthusiastic as he gazed at Tokai Teio.

The "black-hearted doctor" spoke in a serious tone filled with righteous energy, signaling Tokai Teio to walk closer.

The petite girl, Tokai Teio, nodded gently and hobbled closer, harboring a sliver of anticipation in her heart.

(Is this the overseas doctor that President-sama mentioned...)

(I wonder if her medical skills are better than other doctors, and if she can heal my leg?)

In reality, Tokai Teio didn't hold out much hope, as she had already seen several doctors before, including renowned international physicians whom foreign Uma Musume also visited.

But even those famous doctors had given her the same diagnosis... a recovery period of nearly half a year!

Coupled with the time needed to regain her form after the initial healing, it would mean at least half a year without racing.

Half a year, what did that mean?

Most Uma Musume had a career span of only two to three years! This half-year would directly cut off one-sixth... or even one-quarter of her career!

Even the most resilient Uma Musume couldn't calmly accept such a result.

Therefore, Tokai Teio recalled that her admired student council president, Symboli Rudolf, had mentioned an interesting overseas doctor would be stationed at Tracen, which prompted her hasty arrival.

Even if it just shortened her recovery period by one month, Tokai Teio would accept it!

"In the recent Spring Tenno Sho, I lost to Mejiro McQueen, and after the race, I felt..."

"My leg..."

Tokai Teio, sitting in front of Lin Anran, took out her diagnostic report and regretfully recounted her injury.

A moment later.

After assessing the injury, Lin Anran's expression became slightly more solemn as he began to ponder.

As a "black-hearted doctor," while he was greedy, he still needed to be able to treat his patients.

If he couldn't even treat them, then wanting to make a lot of money... would make him a swindler, not a "black-hearted doctor."

Therefore, facing his first heavyweight benefactor, Lin Anran became serious.

(As expected, for Japan's top Uma Musume to seek treatment from a newly arrived doctor... the injury must be quite serious.)

(This is already a fracture that affects her racing career, something even experienced doctors couldn't help with, and it's beyond the scope of my [Primary Healing Ability].)

But... he still had a "trial card"!

When the system was first activated, Lin Anran had never used the limited-use [Intermediate Healing Ability].

The Uma Musume who were on very good terms with Lin Anran, such as Big Red, Bully, and Dahlia, although they seemed lacking in talent and speed, were quite good in terms of leg health.

Coupled with Lin Anran's meticulous care, they never suffered major injuries, not to the extent that Lin Anran's [Primary Healing Ability] couldn't heal them.

Tokai Teio's fracture, however, was undoubtedly a major injury, and only the [Intermediate Healing Ability] could heal it.

Without a doubt, Tokai Teio, who could win GI races, was the best candidate to use the trial card, that one use of the intermediate healing ability!

"To be honest, Teio, your injury is very serious."

"The difficulty of healing is extremely high, very high."

Lin Anran first put on a difficult demeanor.

This immediately froze the expectant look on the pure girl's face, even though she already knew that this was the most likely outcome.

"Waaah... I understand, since there's no way..."

"Who said there's no way?"

After suppressing Tokai Teio's expectations, Lin Anran changed his tone, hinting.

"It's just that the difficulty of treatment is very high, and it consumes a lot of my mental energy."

"In the short term, I can only use it once."

Then, an expression of hesitation and trouble appeared on Lin Anran's handsome face, allowing the stunned Tokai Teio to watch him.

But in reality, he had already decided that he absolutely had to heal Tokai Teio!
