"It's really... surprising. Palmer-nee's trainer is a very interesting person."
The speed of information transfer in modern society is something even modern people can hardly imagine. The incident in the cafeteria today, where Tokai Teio's invitation to Kitano was rejected, had almost instantly spread throughout Tracen Academy.
And the protagonist of this incident, Kitano Ryuichi, after the dust had just settled from the announcement of a selection race for his charge, had once again become a celebrity at Tracen.
And this time, compared to the shock and speculation from the selection race incident, there was no doubt that his reputation at Tracen had completely reversed, especially among the Uma Musume. Their perception and understanding of him had turned around in just half a day.
This was thanks to a certain anonymous person who had posted the video from the cafeteria, of him rejecting Teio's invitation and his speech about "fair competition" and "everyone is equal regardless of talent." For many of the mediocre Uma Musume at Tracen, a place where people were tacitly ranked by talent and achievement, it was as if he had spoken their hearts, touching their souls.
The girls who could enter Central Tracen Academy were almost all at the top level of Japanese Uma Musume. Even the most ordinary one was an unreachable existence for those in the local circuits.
But, the higher the level, the more severe the hierarchy often becomes. A tiny difference in talent or ability can often accumulate into a huge gap over time. Many times, the gap between people is greater than that between a person and a dog. It was the same at Tracen.
Not every Uma Musume was Oguri Cap. Most who could dominate the local circuits were only considered ordinary at Tracen. Not everyone could accept this huge drop, and many had been disheartened by it.
They originally thought they were geniuses, only to find out they were still mediocre when they entered a wider world. And at Tracen, there was no shortage of "geniuses among the mediocre."
And the competition here was extremely fierce. No matter how good their relationships were in private, on the track, there was only one option: to go all out. They held nothing back, competing with all their might, because they all had expectations to meet.
And here, there was a trainer who, in such a cruel environment, was still willing to pay attention to them, these "hacks." Willing to believe in them, even giving them a fair chance to compete with geniuses, telling them that they too could win, that they could all be the most shining star.
—So, everything was extremely natural. Because of this incident, Kitano Ryuichi had instantly become the "ideal trainer" in the hearts of many of the less outstanding Uma Musume at Tracen.
There was even a slogan on the forum, "If you're looking for a trainer, you have to find Kitano Ryuichi!", a statement that, in a way, attracted a lot of hatred towards him.
And now, he was already overwhelmed with dealing with the forum matters. He was afraid that other senior trainers would think he was too arrogant because of this. To prevent the fragile friendship he had just established from being ruined, he had to respond properly.
On the other side, it was clear that other Uma Musume had taken notice of him. In the cafeteria, several girls were sitting together, smiling and discussing this incident.
If any other student had noticed, they would have been surprised to find that these girls were all from the same family—the Mejiro family.
And Mejiro Palmer was from the Mejiro family, just that she was relatively marginalized due to her talent. The ones here now were all her sisters.
Among them were even some he was familiar with. And as the instigator who had recommended Palmer to him, Mejiro Ryan was also following his every move. And now, regarding the news about him on the forum, she was smiling happily.
"See? The trainer I recommended for Palmer was the right choice! He's a very interesting person!"
"Rather than interesting, I'd say he's very different," said another girl, Mejiro Dober, a cool and beautiful Uma Musume, with a rare smile on her face.
"In this day and age, trainers like him are becoming rarer and rarer. To not judge by talent... there are such fools in this world."
"If the world were full of such fools, perhaps there would be world peace," said another, Mejiro McQueen. She had long white hair. As a Uma Musume, her looks were already outstanding, and with her excellent family bloodline, her face was as beautiful as a finely carved jade.
It was just... compared to her two sisters, this Miss McQueen seemed to have lost the advantage in the "mountain range" department. Who knows if it was because of this reason that she had a natural good feeling towards Kitano Ryu-ichi.
"Hm? What's wrong, McQueen? You seem to be spacing out."
"No... it's just... this trainer seems a little familiar."
It took McQueen a long time to tear her eyes away from his photo on her phone. For some reason, she felt that this man looked incredibly familiar.
Especially when watching the video of his speech, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, making her unconsciously stare at his figure on the screen.
"I feel like I've seen her before... I'm not sure, it's probably just my imagination."
"Hehe, McQueen, if you want to sign up for the selection race now, don't hesitate," Ryan said with a relieved giggle.
"It's okay, it's not too late to join now. Did you know, McQueen? I heard because of this incident, the number of participants has increased a lot! If the student council hadn't stipulated that high school students are not allowed to participate, the number would have probably exceeded a hundred by now."
"In this case, how about you participate too, McQueen? So many from the middle school division have joined. It would be great if you and Palmer could both join his team!"
"Ryan-nee... there are already enough people participating in this race. And, if I participate, I would be getting in Palmer-nee's way, right?"
McQueen hesitated. She was actually very moved by Ryan's proposal, but in the end, her rationality overcame her still hazy curiosity. She shook her head.
"Palmer-nee... she must really want to win, right?"
"By the way, speaking of which, Palmer-nee isn't even here. Does she know about this?" Mejiro Dober just remembered that her sister, who rarely showed up at home, was not here today.
Don't misunderstand, the Mejiro sisters had a very good relationship. But Palmer was indeed rarely with her sisters. The reason, everyone knew, was that she felt that at family gatherings with elders, she would always be compared to her other sisters, which made her a little unhappy. Over time, she came to dislike gatherings.
But for her not to appear at this private gathering was very surprising to Dober.
"Palmer, huh? She's probably too shy to show her face right now."
Mejiro Ryan clearly knew the reason. Her mysterious smile made McQueen and Dober very curious, but she didn't seem to intend to reveal it.
Ryan had already sent an encouraging private message to Palmer, telling her that the trainer she had chosen for her was definitely the right one, an excellent existence in every aspect.
Ryan even added some fuel to the fire, saying things like, "Maybe Trainer Kitano didn't recruit Tokai Teio for you, Palmer. You're so lucky."
Ryan knew her sister well. She seemed very cool, handsome, sunny, and a bit dense, but in reality, she was a very innocent girl at heart, just that it was hidden by her handsome appearance. Plus, many girls were infatuated with her face, and she was very comfortable dealing with these fangirls.
But that was because she was straight. She treated those fangirls as ordinary fans, and she was well aware of the lethality of her face to the same sex.
But... it was precisely because of this, because she was always popular with the same sex, that she was particularly bad at interacting with the opposite sex.
"So... Palmer-nee, I've done all I can to help. What happens next depends on whether you can seize the opportunity," Ryan thought.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime good trainer. You have to hold on tight. Otherwise, he'll be snatched away by others."
