AN: Just a quick summary on the Domains we've seen throughout this story so far. It's nothing too serious, so skip if you wish.

Tony Bianca (1988 Japan Cup European Representative; Threat: Low)
{Rainbow Road}
"Full mechanism unknown, but her Domain only activated when she was faced with sufficient opposition. Effect on other umamusume surprisingly minimal after activation was confirmed. Perhaps it has something to do with bolstering one's abilities, with efficacy increasing in response to the level of threat faced?
Unsure. Further data required."
Obey Your Master (1988 Japan Cup American Representative; Current Trainee of Japanese Central Director; Threat: Medium)
{Wild Joker}
"Full mechanism unknown; Domain seems to activate at Obey's full command, regardless of space or time. Effect on other umamusume is significant, causing slowness and loss of focus. Considering Obey's epithet, high possibility that it is related to her standing as America's Joker? An ability that 'assassinates' other umamusume, perhaps handicapping them?
Unsure. Further data required."
Tamamo Cross (White Lightning of Japan; Threat: High)
{Descent of Susanoo}
"Domain seems to activate at Tamamo's full command, regardless of space or time. When activated, forms a giant armored shell around Tamamo, whose body continuously sparks with dangerous lightning. The shell itself serves as protection against the effects of other Domains, or outright nullifies them as shown in the 1988 [Japan Cup]. Anyone struck by the errant bolts of lightning experiences a loss of speed and a powerful feeling of weakness, as suggested by information from ████'s sources.
'Susanoo' is the name of one of Japan's most prominent gods. Considering the given epithet by the public, her threat level cannot be dismissed."
Belno Light (Divine General of Kasamatsu; Threat: High)
{Spear/Trumpet/Anchor/Chariot of the Divine General}
"Domain seems to activate at Belno's full command, regardless of space or time. The shape has changed dramatically ever since it was first seen. Whether this is due to the Domain's nature or Belno's ability is unknown. Effect on umamusume is similarly vast.
The Spear slows down any umamusume it hits, and saps them of stamina. Full effect unknown, but ████'s information suggests this drain is monumental. Anyone unprepared struck by the spear is effectively down for the rest of the race. Most effectively used if Belno is positioned at the end of the pack.
The Trumpet slows down any umamusume it hits, and seems to disorient them, reducing maneuverability. The decrease in speed is lower compared to the Spear, but its distance of effect is significantly larger. Most effectively used if Belno is positioned in the lead.
The Anchor significantly slows down the umamusume the anchor strikes. This form seems tailored to target the Domain of Tamamo Cross, but it is possible that the shape could morph to target the Domains of others. The decrease in speed is the most significant compared to other forms.
The Chariot significantly increases Belno's own speed, while disorienting any umamusume she passes. The increase in speed is significant and cannot be underestimated. Most effectively used if Belno is positioned in the back half of the pack.
The public named her as the Divine General. Considering this and the sheer variety of her Domain, her threat level cannot be dismissed."
Inari One (New rising rookie from downtown Tokyo, Japan; Threat: Medium)
{Foxfire Blaze}
"Full mechanism unknown; Domain seems to activate at Inari's own command, regardless of space or time. Effect on umamusume significant, significantly draining stamina and disorienting any umamusume caught in the blaze of foxfire. Possibly also capable of slowing down umamusume, but the lack of sufficient competition failed to show the limits of this Domain.
Further data required."
Dicta Striker (Member of the Generation of Miracles; Threat: Medium)
{Y̶e̶l̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶B̶u̶l̶l̶e̶t̶}
{Railgun}
"Full mechanism unknown; Domain seems to only activate either during the final homestretch of a race or when Dicta feels the most desperate. The latter possibility seems more likely. When activated, dramatically increases Dicta's speed—the highest acceleration ever recorded, according to ████. Effect on umamusume significant, either disrupting or outright cancelling any Domain Dicta 'shoots' through. Lack of sufficient competition failed to show the limits of this Domain.
Further data required."
*Recent name change from the Japanese public has been publicized. Further considerations about Dicta's threat level are being made.

She glared at the notes she'd just reread; heterochromic eyes seeming to eerily glow under the darkness of the padded room. The pen she'd been holding laid on the floor, having been snapped in half by sheer force alone.
She left the room soon after.
