Spica Training Room.
Kitasan and Diamond chatted with Mejiro McQueen for a while longer, and McQueen played some poker with them. The adorable Rice Shower also popped in because her pet bird had flown into the room. Kitasan, the great helper, came to the rescue of a tearful Rice Shower, leaping up to catch the runaway bird.
"Aaaah... I lost again!" Kitasan Black wore a pained expression. Indeed, Mejiro McQueen's card-playing skills were formidable, likely due to her being much older. But card skills weren't always related to age. Take Special Week, for example—she was truly terrible. The moment she drew a good hand, her tail would start wagging, her emotions written all over her face. The General's poker face was not to be complimented.
Xu Zong watched from the side. For these three horse girls, playing cards could be considered a way to boost their Intelligence stat. From his time playing the game, Xu Zong knew that Intelligence was crucial for a horse girl's development. That's why when he first started the game, his "Aimasu" friends told him he absolutely had to pull for the "strongest Intelligence support card," Air Groove.
And wouldn't you know it, Xu Zong pulled three Air Groove cards right at the start and thought he'd finally had a stroke of gacha luck. He was overjoyed, only to find out later that Air Groove was considered a troll card and Fine Motion was the essential starter card. He was so angry he nearly flipped his friend over.
Fortunately, you could reroll in the game. So, Xu Zong started over, determined to get Fine Motion. That card provided a huge Intelligence bonus during training, making it invaluable for raising "Intelligence horses." But alas, Xu Zong's luck was abysmal. Despite rerolling over thirty times, he could never escape the Air Groove nightmare; he pulled her every single time. His friends were stunned, saying he was born with the "sacred constitution of a gacha prisoner." The game hadn't even truly begun, and he was already trapped in Cygames' swamp, a mask of pain firmly on his face.
Xu Zong sighed at the memory. But now, he was free from the torture of gacha pulls. He had been directly transported into the Uma Musume world as a trainer at Tracen.
After Kitasan and Diamond left, McQueen tidied up the Spica training room. Evening arrived before they knew it, and it was time to rest.
Xu Zong returned to his designated trainer's dormitory, took a quick shower, and began to write in his training diary.
[Today was definitely my happiest day since I transmigrated to Tracen Academy. They always say transmigrators get a cheat ability, and I was starting to think I was out of luck.]
[But today, the system awakened! I have a cheat ability too! Please allow me to perform Xiaohu's two-stage laugh.]
Xu Zong's excitement was palpable. Now that he had his golden finger, he felt much more confident. But he still had to write 600 words, and the damn system would check it, so he couldn't just fill it with fluff. He had to write seriously.
After a moment of reflection, Xu Zong picked up his pen and continued.
[Life at Tracen has been pretty good. I've become the trainer for Team Spica, and the horse girl I've been training the most is Mejiro McQueen. Honestly, in this world, McQueen is even cuter than I imagined and just as hardworking as ever. Who wouldn't love such a proud, yet elegant, young lady from a prestigious family?]
[All I can say is, Mejiro McQueen, forever my goddess!]
[However, McQueen has been troubled recently by her weight. Due to her injury, the pounds piled on quickly. She's tried all sorts of ways to lose weight: making diet meals, exercising diligently, and even resorting to some bizarre methods.]
[For example, she went to a temple with Gold Ship to pray for the gods' blessing to lower her weight. Obviously, the results weren't great. Her weight is still stuck at 500kg, making her a true "fatty horse," hahaha.]
[Seeing little effect, McQueen became very worried, wondering if there was a problem with her diet meals. However, what she hasn't realized is that her Mejiro family bloodline is simply too powerful. Others can slim down with a little exercise, but she can't, no matter how hard she tries. Isn't the problem with her?]
[But I don't think it's a bad thing. Gaining weight easily means you're healthy. What's wrong with being a little chubby? Japan's Number One General was also chubby at one point. My advice is not to stress too much.]
[And frankly, the Mejiro McQueen in the horse girl world doesn't look fat at all. But her real-life counterpart in my original world, he looked much chubbier. The relationship between the real horses and the horse girls is fascinating. If I get the chance in the future, I should tell the girls about their real-life counterparts.]
Xu Zong first wrote a section about Mejiro McQueen.
[Oh, right, I also met Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond today. Those two are incredibly cute, and their relationship is exceptionally good.]
[Today, Kitasan even helped Rice Shower catch her bird that flew away. What's that saying again?]
[It flees, she pursues, it has wings but cannot escape!]
[But wow, Kitasan is really sturdy. She climbed a ladder, leaped into the air to grab the bird, then fell flat on her back in a star shape, and stood up as if nothing had happened. Is everyone's constitution really that different? That's the quality of Kitasan Black for you!]
[Afterward, Kitasan and Diamond left, skipping and hopping away. If you're a fan of both, it's a true double delight.]
[Overall, today's open house at Tracen was very relaxed.]
[However, we can't relax for long. This year's major races are approaching, including the one McQueen values most: the Spring Tennosho.]
[A few days ago, I saw McQueen with a very serious expression. For the Mejiro family, the Tennosho is an obsession. Although McQueen has become more comfortable with the distance of the Spring Tennosho through long training, I know the pressure on her is immense. Coupled with her recent injury, even though she recovered quickly, she's still prone to anxiety and distraction, unable to calm her mind.]
[The Tennosho is three months away. As Spica's trainer, I need to not only help her improve her performance but also gently guide her and relieve her inner stress. After all, Spica's mission should be to help the horse girls achieve their dreams and be their sanctuary, not let them be crushed by pressure.]
[But how do I relieve McQueen's stress? Maybe I should get Tokai Teio to do a little dance with her? Ahem... of course, it's not that I want to watch cute horse girls dance. It's mainly to lift McQueen's spirits. My intentions are noble, those who know, know.]
[I bet Teio and McQueen would be adorable singing and dancing together. Our Spica is still under construction. In the future, we could recruit a few more straightforward horse girls. Then we could put up a banner saying 'Team Spica is Thriving,' which would be incredibly eye-catching.]
Xu Zong continued writing, now focusing on building up Team Spica.
[Speaking of which, Special Week hasn't joined any team yet. She's the lead star of the first season of the anime! Her abilities must be quite good. If I have the chance, I should invite her to join our team.]
[But here's the problem: how do I recruit her? What does Special Week even like? Unfortunately, I don't know much about her. I could rack my brain and still come up with nothing.]
[But I think my friend once told me that she has a famous catchphrase: "Agemasen!!!"]
[That makes her sound like a very fierce horse girl. Is she the type that looks innocent but is actually aggressive? ...Is there some misunderstanding?]
[In any case, I'll have to invite Special Week eventually. I'll ask the other horse girls for their opinions another day. As for Gold Ship, I better not mention it to her. I'm afraid she'd just tie the person up and drag them here.]
In high spirits, Xu Zong's thoughts flowed freely, and he quickly finished the diary entry. As he closed the notebook, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Host has completed the training diary creation!]
[Diary is being scanned.]
[Scan successful. No fluff content detected.]
[Uploading... Upload successful.]
[Congratulations, Host, for receiving the Newbie Gift Pack: Unique Skill Training Card (Beginner) x1 (Using this card allows you to perceive a horse girl's traits, slightly increasing the speed at which she comprehends her unique skill), Weather Change Card x1.]
Xu Zong began to study the items. The reward wasn't exactly god-tier, but it wasn't a terrible roll either. After being tortured by Cygames for so long, he was satisfied with this level of reward.
Just then, another system notification came.
[Hint: Rewards have been distributed. Please continue to work hard to cultivate Super-tier, Yearly-tier, Top-tier, World-tier, and Legendary-tier horse girls. The host will receive different rewards based on the horse girls cultivated.]
Xu Zong was taken aback. These must be the horse girl tiers given by the system. Legendary-tier was surely the highest. Winning a single G1 race would make a horse girl Super-tier. World-tier probably meant being ranked among the best in the world. As for Legendary-tier, that must be a being who could defeat countless world-class horse girls and ultimately win a race on the level of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
In short, he now had a rough upgrade path. With so many races throughout the year, he wouldn't be idle. He would take it one step at a time. He was quite satisfied with the Unique Skill Training Card from the gift pack and decided to use it immediately.
[Congratulations, Host, for using the Unique Skill Training Card (Beginner). Your trainer proficiency has increased.]
Xu Zong instantly felt a wealth of trainer knowledge flood his mind, which made him very happy.
However, at the same time, something was happening that Xu Zong was completely unaware of. Just as he used the system item, and after the damn system successfully uploaded his diary...
All across Tracen Academy—in front of Special Week, Deep Impact, TM Opera O, Narita Top Road, Nice Nature, Grass Wonder, Twin Turbo, Matikanefukukitaru, Narita Taishin, Biwa Hayahide, Oguri Cap, Symboli Rudolf, and every other horse girl—his diary appeared.
And it wasn't just Tracen Academy.
Far away in France, America, England, Dubai, Hong Kong...
Treve, Montjeu, Frankel, Elusive Pimpernel, Sea The Stars, and countless other world-class, and even legendary, horse girls also saw the diary.
