"The road section is indeed not very good." Higashino Chihiro stepped on the ground. If it rained on such a thin grass, it would probably be difficult for vehicles to drive. The two continued to walk forward, and Higashino Chihiro suddenly regretted why she didn't have lunch in Yudao County before coming here with Kitahara Jo... But there was nothing we could do now, we could only wait until we got to Tresen College and see if there was anything to eat in the cafeteria. "No more food?" Kasamatsu Teresin Academy, Chihiro Higashino... After reporting to the dean, he did not go to the dormitory first, but went directly to the college cafeteria to find food. "I'm sorry, Mr. Trainer." A trace of cold sweat appeared on the chef's forehead, as if he remembered something terrible. "Today, a new student came to the academy. He has an unusually good appetite and ate up all the food we prepared. We haven't had time to make new food. Can you wait for a moment? It will be ready soon." Although he was a little surprised at who could eat up all the food prepared in the cafeteria of an academy, he just wanted to fill his own stomach at this moment. "Don't be so nervous. I'm not a man-eating monster. Just give me some. If you are busy, I can do it myself." "No, no, what do you want to eat? As long as I can cook it and have the ingredients, I will make it for you right away." Seeing the chef like this, Higashino Chihiro felt a little helpless, "Just give me a bowl of ramen, any flavor is fine."

"Okay, it'll be ready for you right away!" After eating ramen, Chihiro Higashino went to the dormitory assigned to her by the academy. The facilities inside were much simpler than those in the central dormitory... but as a temporary residence, it was also not bad. "I have successfully arrived at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy." I opened the window and took a picture of the training ground of Kasamatsu Tresen Academy, then took a few pictures of the dormitory and sent them to the group. But no one replied to him, which was normal, as it was training time... It would be strange if Tamamo Cross and the others replied to Higashino Chihiro. After packing up simply, Higashino Chihiro borrowed a bicycle from Kitahara Jang, taking advantage of the time before he had to go to work, and headed towards the town. He also needed to buy some daily necessities. Chapter 55 Kitahara Joi Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Higashino Chihiro suffered from insomnia, which was a rare occurrence. In order to have sufficient energy yesterday, he went to bed early...but he didn't expect that it was only four o'clock and he had already woken up, and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Normally, he goes to bed at twelve o'clock at night, gets up at six o'clock in the morning to do some simple exercise, then goes to the cafeteria for breakfast before going to the office. "Forget it. I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well get up and go for a walk." After getting dressed and washing up, Higashino Chihiro walked to the stairs and looked out the window. The lights on the roadside were very sparse, but fortunately there was no problem seeing the road clearly. "S...it's a bit cold at four o'clock." After tightening her collar, Chihiro Higashino jumped up and down, did some stretching exercises, and then slowly ran away along the road. "Huhuhu..." After running about three kilometers, Chihiro Higashino was really exhausted and had to slow down and take a rest. There was nothing he could do about his poor physical condition. In the past, in order to prepare for exams, he often stayed up late and had little time to exercise... He was lucky that he didn't become a fat man. After arriving at Tresen College, I was quite busy at first, but later things got a little better and got on track. In fact, Higashino Chihiro originally wanted to seek advice from Kuronuma, the fitness expert... but after hearing about his daily training, she immediately backed off.

I get up at four in the morning every day, do a ten-kilometer morning run in a circle, rest for a while, do push-ups and pull-ups, and finally run three kilometers back to the college. And Chihiro Higashino also heard that the horse girls in the Kuronuma team basically also do morning jogging... Because running slowly will not put a burden on your legs and can also strengthen your physical strength, but it's too early. This is the legendary, have you ever seen Tokyo at 4 am? I have. Panting and wiping the sweat from her forehead, Higashino Chihiro saw a figure in front of her. Out of curiosity, Chihiro Higashino leaned over to take a look and found that a horse girl was training. "High-knee sprint training? The frequency is surprisingly good, but there are still many flaws in the running posture. The arm swing and stride are a bit uncoordinated. Also, is the force too strong?" Chihiro Higashino could see very clearly that when the opponent sprinted, the grass was blown away and left a mark. "She's really working hard. I didn't see her all the way here. She must have left earlier than me. Did she also leave at four o'clock?" Since she was too tired now, Chihiro Higashino simply stopped and watched the other party's training, making an evaluation in her mind from time to time. After the high-leg sprint training, the opponent started to do jumping training on the spot. His jumping ability is also good, so he should be able to gain a certain advantage when leaving the gate. Higashino Chihiro kept nodding in her heart. Although she couldn't see much at the moment, just based on these two trainings and the speed of the previous sprint... her opponent's strength should be among the best among the local horse girls. "Hahaha!" There was a panting sound in her ears. Higashino Chihiro turned her head and saw Kitahara Ryo running towards her with his eyes closed, trembling, muttering something, "Now there are 100 meters left! Who will dominate the East China Sea Derby!" East China Sea Derby? Higashino Chihiro searched her memory and it seemed... It's the local G1 race here, right? In the eyes of the local horse racing girls... This item should be of similar importance to the Japanese Derby in the eyes of Umamusume Chuo. Kitahara Joi continued to run forward, and Higashino Chihiro slowly followed him, somewhat curious about what he was thinking about with his eyes closed, and also trying to prevent him from falling with his eyes closed. "But at this moment! Kitahara Jones rushed up from the outside! In one breath!" So you were fantasizing about running on the track? Could it be that Mr. Kitahara Joi does not like the sport of horse racing, but rather wants to be on that stage himself? Chihiro Higashino felt that she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. Should she tell Senior Liuping in time? This kind of thing really should be said...should? "Kitahara Jones is very fast! Kitahara Jones... crossed the finish line first!" After finishing the race, Kitahara Joi opened his eyes with a look of satisfaction, and immediately spotted the horse girl standing nearby, as if she was looking at some rare species. He turned his head stiffly and found Chihiro Higashino standing next to him. Chihiro Higashino covered her face with one hand and looked at Kitahara Joi, who was squatting on the ground helplessly and had already died socially. "Stand up, you just finished running, walk around, or you'll get hurt."

He took two steps forward and pulled Kitahara Ryo up, pushed his back, and asked him to walk a few more steps forward. Looking at Kitahara Joi who was walking forward in a daze, Higashino Chihiro felt a little helpless. She turned her head and looked at the horse girl who was still training and was doing stretching exercises. Before Higashino Chihiro could react, the other party got into position and sprinted towards the academy. "Sure enough, I'm using too much energy. But the speed of this sprint is really good." I glanced at the time and it's already half past five. I'll go back to have breakfast and take a rest before I can start work. "Mr. Kitahara, are you going back now?" "You go back first, I still need to catch my breath." Since the other party said so, Higashino Chihiro walked towards the academy alone. It has been more than an hour since I came out, and I am a little hungry. Kitahara Joi looked at Chihiro Higashino's back with a hint of loneliness on his face. His biggest wish is to win the East China Sea Derby with the horse girls in his team...but the young man in front of him probably doesn't even take the East China Sea Derby seriously. Yes, the other party is a talented trainer in the center. If it weren't for the previous system and some stubborn directors, he would not come here, but would train those talents in the center to prepare for the most glorious Japan Derby. When he returned to the office, Kitahara Joi did not see Chihiro Higashino. He heard from Shibasaki that he was called over by the dean as soon as he arrived. It was said that he wanted to invite the dean to watch the mock match this afternoon. "He has a team in the central government. If he is not invited... he may stay there in the afternoon and use his mobile phone to guide the horse girls in his team to train." Chapter 56: Local Events "Trainer Dongye, this afternoon our academy will hold a simple simulation match for the freshmen entering this year. I hope you can come and watch." According to what Chihiro Higashino learned from Chairman Akikawa, when she came here...she only needed to give two lessons to the horse racing girls here every week. It can be said that it was extremely easy, even easier than when she was in Tokyo. This is also why Okino Mitsuji said at the time that he should just treat it as a vacation. "A mock match?" "Yes, today we are going to let these horse racing girls experience the feeling of being out of the gate, and by the way, we will have a simple 800-meter mud race. This will also allow the trainers in our academy to select team members from now on." Unlike the central government's regulation of five people in a team, local racecourses do not have this rule. As long as there is a horse girl in your team... then you can participate in the debut battle without having to get five people together. Such a rule is also because there are too many local trainers compared to central trainers... Moreover, this also has an advantage, it allows trainers to focus all their attention on a small number of horse girls without being distracted. Also, because local horse girls can debut in July of their first year in the middle school, a year earlier than the central horse girls... so you have to choose the horse girls or trainers you want to sign as early as possible. "Okay, I understand. I will go and watch it on time." In fact, even if the dean didn't say it, Chihiro Higashino would have gone to see it today. This was the task that Chairman Akikawa had assigned to him, and he also wanted to see if there were any suitable talents that could be discovered in the central government, so that his team would have five horse girls together and could officially participate in their debut battle. Of course, he would only look at it once. After making sure that there was no suitable horse girl who could take center stage, Higashino Chihiro would no longer pay attention to these things. He would just complete his task and then return to Tresen Academy to continue worrying about his fifth team member.

After leaving the dean's office, Chihiro Higashino walked straight to where she worked. When she saw the trainers, she greeted them. Although their responses were bland, he was not there either… Huh. Sitting in his seat, he took out the medical book and continued reading. At noon, Chihiro Higashino went to the cafeteria alone, but as soon as he arrived at the cafeteria, he was attracted by Ikkaku's attention. "I'll be a good boy..." Looking over, he saw that the table of the horse girl he met this morning was piled with food. According to Higashino Chihiro's guess, it was enough for at least five people. "Will you really not feel uncomfortable in your stomach if you eat so much?" Thinking back to what the chef told me yesterday, a horse girl with a big appetite came, so that must be this classmate, right? What an amazing appetite! Tamamo would definitely be extremely envious when she sees this. However, this was not what surprised Higashino Chihiro the most. What surprised him the most was that... the other party not only finished the mountain of food at a whirlwind speed, but even went to the front desk to ask for another mountain-sized portion of food. "This...it will cost a lot of money to feed this guy." Higashino Chihiro expressed deep admiration for her family. Seeing that the shoes on her feet were already very old, her family conditions should not be very good... Even so, she was able to grow up healthily. It was really... Oh, by the way, there is another difference between the Local Tresen College and the Central Tresen College, and that is the cafeteria. You have to pay for food in the cafeteria of the local Tresen College, but the price is cheaper than outside. The food at Central Tresen College is completely free and unlimited. You can eat as much as you want. There is no need to worry about all the food being eaten up like what happened to Chihiro Higashino yesterday. Lamenting that the other person still wanted to eat even though his stomach was as big as a ball, Higashino Chihiro felt that her appetite had also increased. It was really exciting to see others showing off their food like this. "What's the point of this central trainer coming to watch the mock competition of us local horse girls? Is he here to laugh at how low our standards are?" Several local trainers were standing by, glancing at Chihiro Higashino who was observing the situation on the training ground with a telescope in the distance. "Don't say that. He also came here to work. I heard that he passed the Central Qualification Examination without attending the Trainer University... So you have to come here to intern for two months, and by the way, find out if there are any outstanding horse racing girls here who can go to the central government." One of the female trainers stared closely at a green-haired horse girl on the field, "As expected, the only one who has this possibility is the specially recruited Fujimasa March." "Are you ready to give up?" "How is that possible?" The woman curled her lips. "That trainer may not necessarily invite Fujimasa March... If he didn't invite them and you guys got in first, then I would be at a big loss." "Haha, anyway, as soon as she finishes running, I'll run over and sign her. We'll definitely be able to shine in the East Sea Derby!" "Well, some of them are in good spirits." Higashino Chihiro put down the telescope and looked at Kitahara Joi beside him, "Mr. Kitahara, do you have any horse girls you want to sign?" “Not yet…” Kitahara Joi shook his head. “I want to sign a star horse girl, the kind that can win the East Sea Derby.” "I see." Higashino Chihiro nodded, continued to focus on the training ground, and said: "Mr. Kitahara, although these words should not be said by me, I still can't help it." Kitahara Jang looked over, not knowing what Higashino Chihiro wanted to say.

"Your dream is the East China Sea Derby, isn't that right?" "That's it." "In that case, why didn't you sign any horse girls in the past year? Or even try to sign them? Do you think they are not strong enough to compete in the East Sea Derby?" Kitahara Joi shook his head. "It's not like that. It's just... I don't think they resonate with me. Kasamatsu is a cage without dreams. The place here..." "Excuse me, Mr. Kitahara, if what you said before is true, you want to find a horse girl who can participate in the East Sea Derby and win... But why would a horse girl who can compete in a local G1 race choose a trainer like you who has never led a team and is even mentally depressed? " Higashino Chihiro said directly: "She can definitely choose those trainers with more experience. In other words, even if he chooses you, do you think you can fully tap her potential?"
