At Tracen, Good at Doing Time

Air Groove was curious what Zhou Yuang could possibly come up with now.

"No, I'm serious."

Grass Wonder's face was solemn as she listened to Zhou Yuang.

Her gaze was steady, her posture composed, and her ears stood straight up. None of the gentle charm she had shown when they met before remained. She was not joking with him.

Most people probably remembered Grass Wonder only as the "What about me?" competitor from the anime's first season, obsessed with facing Special Week.

But this Uma Musume was a true picture of Japanese grace.

Even if she was American.

She was probably the only American around who carried a Naginata instead of a gun.

Like the real horse she was based on, Grass Wonder was usually as quiet and docile as an ox. But in a race, the chestnut monster's competitive spirit came roaring out.

She was more than a gentle, considerate girl. She was an Uma Musume who relished a challenge.

If she thought something was worth taking on, she would give it everything she had, even if she hit a wall.

Grass Wonder could not accept becoming an Uma Musume who wandered Tracen at night. She hated turning into something strange, and she worried about hurting others. She wanted to be restrained.

She wanted to be called a monster on the racetrack, not for roaming the halls at night.

"Please help me, Trainer."

Grass Wonder bowed to Zhou Yuang as she spoke.

"I know I'm asking a lot of you, but afterward, I'll do anything."

She knew she was putting Zhou Yuang in a difficult position. But she could not simply sit back and let herself go berserk inside Tracen Academy.

She had heard the Uma Musume passing by the Basement talking about how it had been slashed up.
