The race reached its critical turning point, and the crowd's excitement was reignited.
The leading Seiun Sky had exhausted her energy. Her speed slowly decreased as Tokai Teio began to make her move, closing the distance between them.
"Damn it!"
With a frustrated sound, Seiun Sky watched Teio run up beside her. Her head was covered in sweat, clearly having used up a lot of stamina. But compared to her, Teio seemed to have much more energy left.
"Hehe, see you later~" With a crisp voice, Teio shot past her.
"Tokai Teio has accelerated! She has accelerated! The current leader is Tokai Teio—!"
The announcer's voice echoed through the stadium.
With formidable strength and flexible ankles, showing no signs of fatigue after running over a thousand meters, Teio moved forward with remarkably light steps.
Behind her, Special Week was also gearing up.
She knew Tokai Teio. When she had first transferred, Teio had been the one to show her around the school, and she often came to find her during lunch. They had a pretty good relationship.
When she had once asked why Teio was always running to the student council office, she had replied:
"I want to become someone like 'the President.' Like the President who is called 'The Emperor.' She is my dream and my goal."
At that time, Special Week had felt a powerful will from Teio, and she indeed possessed a terrifying strength to match it.
Her will was awe-inspiring, but Special Week was not planning to lose this race!
She turned to look at Shirayuki behind her, who happened to be looking at her at the same time. Their eyes met.
Ah, that's right!
In this race, the two of them had promised to give it their all.
"Shirayuki-san, I'm going for it!" Special Week thought to herself.
Taking a deep breath, her feet stomped heavily on the ground. With her strong body and powerful physique, her speed instantly kicked up a notch. She surpassed the Horse Girls in front of her and chased straight after Teio.
"She's accelerating! Following Tokai Teio, Special Week has also begun to accelerate—!"
At this point, among the three, only Shirayuki was still behind.
Five horse-lengths, six horse-lengths...
In the stands, Chiya panted as he watched the track. The fatigue had been transmitted from Shirayuki to him. Right now, she was six horse-lengths behind the leader.
She still had plenty of energy left, but she wanted to use it all.
And that moment was right after the turn.
The training track's turn was long, with a large radius. To accelerate here, she would have to go to the outside lane, which would add an extra five to six meters to her run.
Most trainers would tell their Horse Girls to accelerate at this point. Because of the centrifugal force during a turn, runners had to slow down to avoid being thrown to the outside, but there was no such concern here.
Because after the turn was an unobstructed straight path to the finish line.
But Shirayuki did the opposite. She chose to accelerate after the turn, for no other reason than to rely on her own advantage!
Her innate flexibility and the running posture she had worked hard to learn.
The moment she came out of the turn, she bent down sharply, her body leaning forward.
The closer to the ground, the lower the point of force, the longer the path of exertion, and the greater the acceleration.
In a posture that was almost parallel to the ground, Shirayuki shot forward.
Her snow-white figure turned into a stream of light, instantly passing the two Horse Girls in front of her.
"What is this..."
Her attention drawn by the new development on the track, Hishi Amazon looked at the figure coming from behind.
"It's Fujiwara Shirayuki! It's Fujiwara Shirayuki! The race has reached the final turn, and she has begun her charge! What a low posture!?"
In the stands, Narita Brian, chewing on a twig, made a sound of interest.
"Oh?"
At this moment, Shirayuki was like a white wolf. Her swinging arms, her powerful thighs—like the four limbs of a wolf leaping forward, her sharp eyes fixed on her prey.
Bang!
A powerful sound came from under her feet as she chased after them.
At this moment, there was no need to hold back anymore. All she had to do was unleash all her remaining energy!
Hearing the sound, Special Week and Tokai Teio looked back and saw the white beast at the same time.
"Shirayuki-san!"
"What?!"
They let out sounds of joy and surprise.
Tokai Teio's jaw dropped.
This girl, has she been saving her stamina until now?
Unbelievable! How could you have been so patient!
Teio could already feel her breathing becoming difficult. Although she had made the correct judgment, she had still used a lot of stamina to catch up to Seiun Sky. Now, her energy was bottoming out.
"I am Tokai Teio! How could I lose here?!" she shouted, and then poured out the last of her stamina.
Beside her, Special Week also began her final sprint.
Shirayuki-san kept her promise and gave it her all. So, I can't fall behind either!
At this point, the three of them had completely broken away from the front of the pack and began their final acceleration.
"Fifty meters to the finish line! Who will win this race?! Tokai Teio, Special Week, or Fujiwara Shirayuki—?!"
Everyone was letting out their final roars.
My speed is at its limit!
Looking at the nearby Teio, Shirayuki gritted her teeth. Her legs had reached their limit; she couldn't move them any faster. At most, she could only maintain her position half a horse-length behind.
But, there was another way...
Another way that didn't require foot frequency.
Enduring the sharp pain in her lungs, Shirayuki thought hard, recalling the incredible acceleration Narita Brian had once shown to overtake her opponent.
Put all my body's strength onto one foot and then leap! Only then can I break through my body's limits!
With that thought, she mustered all her strength. Her body was now bent almost parallel to the ground, her calves tensing up. Just as she was about to go for broke...
"Trainer Fujiwara!"
With a sharp cry, Chiya was suddenly grabbed and fell backward.
His vision flashed as he saw himself go over the spectator railing and then get pulled back. At the same time, feeling her body lose its balance, Shirayuki's foot kicked empty air. The power she had been building up for so long sent a large patch of grass flying, and she ultimately slid across the finish line on her chest.
