Becoming a Miraculous Horse Girl

Upon hearing Tokai Teio's request, Kitasan Black stared at Anjing Zhen in sudden astonishment.

"Eh—? Have Mr. Anjing train me? This..."

Anjing Zhen did not answer, instead gazing at Tokai Teio with a thoughtful expression.

After locking eyes with him for a moment, Tokai Teio turned to face Kitasan Black.

"What, do you think it won't work?"

"Don't let the fact that Trainer Anjing isn't much older than you fool you; he is absolutely an outstanding trainer."

"Passing the Central exam at eighteen—such a thing has never happened before..."

"No, I should say no one could have even imagined such a thing; it's as impossible as three runners crossing the finish line simultaneously in a G1 Race."

"With his ability, he will surely be able to fully unleash your talent and potential."

"My talent... do I even have any potential?"

Biting her lip, Kitasan Black lowered her head, her clenched fists resting on her knees.

"But many trainers have said that I... other than having decent strength, everything else about me is very normal..."

"With aptitude like mine, it's hard to achieve any results in races outside of short distances..."

"If Mr. Anjing is that amazing, won't I just..."

"Then, would you be willing to become my Assigned Horse Girl?"

"I am willing, it's just... eh, ehhh?!"

Answering subconsciously, she realized a split second later that it was Anjing Zhen who had asked the question. Her ears twitched uncontrollably as she looked at Anjing Zhen in shock.

Tokai Teio also looked at him in surprise.

"Then it seems there are no problems."

Anjing Zhen nodded toward Tokai Teio.

"I am confident that I can guide Kitasan Black well. She just agreed to it, so I will leave the follow-up procedures to you, President."

"However, there is one thing I would like to ask."

"Just as you said, President, I have been searching for a suitable Horse Girl for these past few months."

"But those I deemed suitable did not believe I currently had the ability to guide them."

"Many seniors also told me it would be best to start as an assistant, learn honestly for a few years, and then consider guiding a Horse Girl on my own."

"So, President Teio, why do you believe I can guide Kitasan Black well?"

Kitasan Black, still struggling to process the situation, also looked at Tokai Teio.

"Well, heh..."

With a low chuckle, Tokai Teio suddenly lifted her head and raised her chin.

"Because I feel that Little Kita, like me, is not a Horse Girl who can be restricted by boring things like conventions and common sense."

"Likewise, you are not that kind of trainer, either."

"If you want to create a miracle, shouldn't you abandon all conventions and common sense?"

"What do you think?"

"Teio-senpai..."

With eyes shimmering in admiration and longing, Kitasan Black clasped her hands together, her ears trembling incessantly.

Anjing Zhen nodded inwardly.

Tokai Teio's words were very much in line with the impression this Horse Girl held in his heart.

Winning both the Satsuki Sho and the Japanese Derby—two top-tier races—without a single defeat.

Suffering multiple fractures throughout her career only to stand up again each time; not competing for a full year before her retirement race, yet miraculously defeating a host of opponents in their prime to win the championship and bow out perfectly.

Such a career path could truly be called a "miracle."

It was no surprise that a Horse Girl like her would not play by the rules.

Or rather, she and Horse Girls like her were born to break so-called conventions and common sense.

In his recent recollections, he discovered that Kitasan Black seemed to be that kind of Horse Girl as well.

Extreme Skills were a type of extreme sports, and trick equestrianism was one of them; he had learned a bit about horse racing in his previous life.

For some reason, many Horse Girls in this world shared names with those from his past life, and Tokai Teio was one of them.

Kitasan Black was another.

He had a rough understanding from his previous life that the racing career of the Horse Girl named Kitasan Black in that world was quite outstanding.

If there was some sort of correspondence between the two worlds, then from a metaphysical perspective, the Kitasan Black of this world should also be very strong in the future.

The only similarity was that both Kitasan Blacks were not highly regarded before their debuts and during the early stages of their careers.

In the other world, it was because of her pedigree, while in this world, it appeared to be due to reasons like aptitude.

Anjing Zhen was neither a jockey nor a horse trainer; he did not know how Kitasan Black had gone from being overlooked to becoming a legendary horse queen in the other world.

However, he roughly understood why no one in this world favored Kitasan Black yet. After all, the others did not have the cheat-like advantage of knowing the answers in advance as he did.

Of course, knowing the answers without knowing the process was useless.

For instance, if he had been asked to train racehorses in his past life, any good horse would have been wasted in his hands.

This world, however, was different; he believed in everything he had silently accumulated over the past decade or so.

For example, he was well-versed in the data of past, current, and soon-to-debut Horse Girls, and he also had a certain understanding of Kitasan Black's situation.

First was her outstanding strength.

Horse Girls underwent various physical examinations upon enrollment, and whether it was grip strength, pushing power, or simple leg strength, Kitasan Black's data ranked at the forefront.

Second was her physical health.

Just like human athletes, the competitions for Horse Girls were intense and their training loads were not light, making injuries a common occurrence.

Aside from minor illnesses like colds, Kitasan Black had never suffered from any major sickness or injury, and her medical records were sparse—something that could be called rare among the rare for a Horse Girl.

Finally, there was her Instantaneous Burst Power.

This point was best proven by both the time she saved that child and the reckless moment she tore the door handle off along with the door panel.

With these foundations, coupled with his own guidance, Anjing Zhen was confident that he could enable Kitasan Black to achieve results in the future that rivaled those of the parallel world, or even far surpass them.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said:

"As expected of the 'Miracle Emperor.' Then I, too, shall try to create a new miracle together with Kitasan Black..."

"No, it should be: together with Little Kita, create a new miracle."

He looked at Kitasan Black, whose expression was a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

"Is it alright if I call you that?"

"Mm-hmm! No problem at all!"

Excitedly standing up, Kitasan Black bowed deeply.

"I leave everything to you, Anjing..."

Thud!

"Ouch!"

Glancing at the wobbling dining table and then at Kitasan Black, who was clutching her forehead with tears welling in the corners of her eyes, Anjing Zhen let out a silent sigh.

It seemed that besides her lack of control over her strength, this reckless personality... was also something he would have to find a way to adjust.

Seeing that the two people before her had both agreed to her request, Tokai Teio couldn't help but smile.

Just then, the waiter brought over the drinks they had ordered. After thanking them and taking the coffee and a honey special drink, she placed them in front of Anjing Zhen and Kitasan Black respectively, then smiled and held her own extra-large drink high.

"Very well, then! To celebrate Trainer Yasui finding an assigned Horse Girl, and Little Kita finding an assigned trainer, let's toast!"

"Oh! Cheers!"

A bit flustered, but filled with even more joy, Kitasan Black also raised her honey special drink high.

Anjing Zhen simply smiled and slightly lifted the coffee on the table.

Evening, a single-occupancy apartment building, Anjing Zhen's room.

"Trainer, these are the documents the President asked me to bring over. Do you see anything else you need?"
