Pegasus? Actually, I'm a doctor!

(The current Tokai Teio fractured her leg after the Spring Tenno Sho, marking her second fracture.)

(She's already a prominent figure in Japan, and the prize money she's won is undoubtedly countless!)

(Curing her would not only earn a lot of money but also spread his reputation and establish his brand, ensuring a steady stream of wealthy clients.)

Even if no other heavyweight clients come knocking, with Tokai Teio's running style...

Well, becoming a "repeat customer" and replicating a third fracture isn't impossible.

Therefore, Lin Anran sees no reason not to treat Tokai Teio, even if it means using a precious trial card!

Upon hearing Lin Anran's response, Tokai Teio was both surprised and delighted, almost unable to resist jumping up.

However, the pain in her leg immediately brought her back to reality. The petite and slightly immature girl raised her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"C-can you really cure me?"

"Please, you must heal me! I'll do anything!"

Perfect!

This was exactly what Lin Anran was waiting for.

He quickly discussed the specific medical expenses.

"The medical expenses... might be a bit high."

"Specifically—"

After a moment, he quoted a not-so-low number.

But to Lin Anran's surprise, Tokai Teio didn't hesitate at all and nodded eagerly.

Having won numerous races before, Tokai Teio values victory far more than mere prize money and medical fees.

And the intuitive Teio-miss seems to vaguely sense that the reliable young doctor in front of her seems to like money a little bit...?

That makes things easier!

Tokai Teio even patted her thigh gently, raising her head and saying earnestly.

"I've heard that some Uma Musume powerhouses have exclusive partnerships with renowned doctors, who not only provide substantial medical fees but also offer a percentage of the race winnings as an incentive."

"Dr. Lin, if you can really heal my leg, I'll give you an additional 10% of the race winnings from my next race."

Everyone understands the principle that heavy rewards inspire bravery.

Trainers usually receive a percentage of the prize money from the Uma Musume in their team, so it's reasonable for the best, top-tier doctors who can extend an Uma Musume's career to receive a portion of the prize money as well, right?

"Interesting—!"

Tokai Teio's words completely won Lin Anran over and piqued his interest.

The shares mentioned by small fries like Dahong, Thug, and Dahlia don't appeal to Lin Anran, as they certainly won't win any races.

But Tokai Teio is different; she's a talented girl who's good enough to win GI races!

The better he can heal her and improve her condition, then after Tokai Teio returns to the track and wins races... won't he receive another substantial follow-up medical fee?

The black-hearted doctor immediately activated the system discreetly, gazing at the expectant Tokai Teio and using the only [Intermediate Healing Ability] trial card.

The next second, a new line of text appeared before him.

[Intermediate Healing Ability Healing Target: Tokai Teio (Treatable)]
[Please select treatment method (multiple selections allowed): Acupuncture, Surgery, Medication...]
[Treatment Period: One Day, Three Days, One Week, Half a Month, One Month...]

The simple, easy-to-understand, and straightforward content enlightened Lin Anran and brought a look of joy to his face.

Great!

Even medication can cure Tokai Teio's fracture, which sounds incredible and defies common sense, but... Lin Anran doesn't care about that.

This is the world of Uma Musume, where the supreme [Three Goddesses] exist, and there are many inexplicable things.

Compared to those, he's probably just a slightly more bizarre and slightly better ordinary black-hearted doctor.

In short, as long as he can earn consultation fees, that's all that matters.

Lin Anran was initially a little worried about what to do if healing a severely injured patient at the speed of light was considered too sci-fi.

So it turns out you can also choose the treatment method and even the period? That's safe then.

By controlling the treatment period and method, and not choosing a single method like medication, there shouldn't be any problem fooling a little girl who's focused on training and racing.

Lin Anran immediately made a mixed selection of treatment methods and quickly set the treatment period.

[Treatment Plan (Mixed): Acupuncture, Medication]
[Treatment Period: Half a Month]

Immediately, a massive amount of information was injected into Lin Anran's mind.

Tokai Teio's fracture, which is so severe that no doctor in Japan can cure it in the short term, is now a breeze for him!

A mere fracture, easily handled!

Filled with confidence, Lin Anran smiled slightly at Tokai Teio in front of him, gesturing for her to lie down on the nearby hospital bed.

"I will definitely not let Miss Teio down with your generous medical fees."

"Now, please lie down."

From some unknown point, Lin Anran had picked up acupuncture tools.

Seeing the sharp, cold needles held by the black-hearted doctor, Tokai Teio's eyes widened, and she swallowed hard.

To recover her body, Tokai Teio endured her fear and surprise, and lay down on the bed.

"I... I have a fracture, right? Are these needles... are you sure you're doing the right thing?"

The medical room fell silent, with no response from Lin Anran.

Already moved by the generous medical fees and subsequent race prize money, the black-hearted doctor only wanted to receive the money as soon as possible and complete this treatment quickly.

And so, in the next moment—

The undefeated Two-Crown, Japan's top Uma Musume, Tokai Teio, let out a loud scream in the medical room.

"Ugh... Aah!!"

In the afternoon, inside the student council office.

A calm and collected tall, brown-haired girl with a white crescent-shaped fringe resembling an Emperor's sat behind the desk.

She was none other than Symboli Rudolf, the strongest Uma Musume in Japanese history, who, after retiring, took on the role of student council president and began to focus on cultivating outstanding successors.

Tokai Teio was an heir whom Symboli Rudolf had recognized and favored long ago. But unfortunately, on the road to challenging for the undefeated Triple Crown, she missed the final race due to a fracture.

Even more unfortunate, after Tokai Teio finally recovered, she fractured again after the Spring Tenno Sho, another GI race!

These successive major injuries had led many to believe that Tokai Teio might say goodbye to the racetrack forever and possibly retire.

And now, Tokai Teio, whom many doctors had deemed needing long-term rest, actually walked up to her with legs that seemed somewhat normal, telling her that she had been partially treated and would recover in a while?

"Huh?"

"That Dr. Lin who was just reported this morning said... he's confident he can cure you?"

"And in such a short time, he's already made your legs recover a bit?"

Even Symboli Rudolf was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe~ President, just wait and see, I'll give you a surprise in the next race!"

The petite Tokai Teio nodded quickly, her face full of joy. No one knew the condition of her legs better than she did, and they had truly improved a lot.

"That's great news. Perhaps you can make it to the Takarazuka Kinen and the Tenno Sho (Autumn)."

"That Dr. Lin really has skills. No wonder those monsters in America can't stop thinking about him..."

Symboli Rudolf paused, as if she had thought of something else important, and then stood up.

"Then Teio, you rest well and don't start training immediately. I'll go out and take care of something and be right back."

"Eh, President, what are you busy with?"

Tokai Teio tilted her head and asked.

"The Classic Triple Crown this year, the second race, the Derby, is coming up soon, right? These little ones have been hit too hard by Tachyon..."

"I want to visit Jungle Pocket and Cafe and stir up their fighting spirit."

This answer made Tokai Teio seem to recall something, and she wasn't too surprised by Symboli Rudolf's words.

"Tachyon... she's indeed quite terrifying, winning the first crown of the Triple Crown so effortlessly."

"For such a gifted monster, this year's Triple Crown might be within reach, right?"

"As long as nothing unexpected happens—"

Inside the dormitory.

The black-hearted doctor was looking down at the incoming text message on his phone.

It was the medical fee transferred by Tokai Teio, and the amount made him feel at ease.

Once he completely cured Tokai Teio, he could earn another sum after she raced, and he would also make a name for himself, not worrying about successors!

"I've made a lot of money on my first day in Japan."

"Compared to the small fries I knew in America, there's more of a future here."

After marveling, Lin Anran then walked to the mirror in the room.

Although Tokai Teio had given a considerable medical fee, he wouldn't be satisfied with just that.

No matter how high the medical fee was, it couldn't be higher than the full prize money of a major race, right?

With only money in his heart, the black-hearted doctor wanted to earn race prize money after receiving the medical fee.

Once he won the Triple Crown and upgraded to the permanent Intermediate Healing Ability, he could do whatever he wanted!

Immediately, Lin Anran looked at the mirror and made his decision.

"Alright, let's begin the transformation."

The next moment, he finally activated his transformation.

After a flash of golden light, what replaced him was a slightly petite, white-haired girl standing quietly!

Platinum - Hintleia!

It was an appearance completely identical to the image on the panel, and even the sniper operative's weapon, Bow and Arrow, was slung across her back?!

Running races after transforming... why is she carrying a bow??

After a moment of surprise, Platinum walked to the mirror, examining herself.

Then, she began to sense the power contained within her transformed feet.

And when her fair, soft hand touched the bow on her back, she felt a strange sense of reassurance.

Even though this young Kulantta girl knew that no weapons were needed in this world of running.

Or rather, her legs were her weapons!

As long as she used these powerful feet, she would be able to survive, and even… earn countless prize money, right?

"Ha—!"

"This world... this environment, it feels surprisingly nice~"

A slightly soft, and even somewhat languid tone, was used as she spoke faintly.

"Next, will an interesting battle occur?~"

The languid Kulantta girl planned to debut as soon as possible and finish things quickly.
