Back in the Spica office, Xu Zong, his mind overflowing with ideas, immediately started on the day's diary entry.
[So many ridiculous things happened today, I don't even know where to start. Let's just go in chronological order.]
[Woke up this morning, no training, so it was a relaxing day. Headed over to Tracen for a nice, comfortable breakfast.]
[Ran into a bunch of horse girls at breakfast, including Special Week, Seiun Sky, Grass Wonder, El Condor Pasa, Twin Turbo, Daitaku Helios, and Nice Nature, among others.]
[First off, let's give a special shout-out to Nice Nature. She absolutely deserves to be called out.]
[This girl, Nice Nature, has a nice name, but her behavior is anything but. She's full of "gate-blocking" remarks. This morning, she had Twin Turbo on the verge of tears and tantrums. It really makes you wonder, does this girl have a conscience?]
[El Condor Pasa was standing right there, completely stunned. But she's a character herself, always wearing that mask and shouting that she's the "Raging Tempest, the Supersonic Monstrous Bird of Tracen Academy." A bit of a chunibyo, that one.]
[I also noticed that whenever she does that, Grass Wonder tends to look the other way, probably pretending she doesn't know her. Man, that cracked me up.]
[She probably thinks El Condor Pasa looks incredibly goofy when she's shouting like that. Haha, I completely agree with her.]
[As for Seiun Sky, that girl is full of schemes. She hadn't finished her homework, so she claimed King Halo probably hadn't either. This got King Halo so worked up that she slammed her own meticulously completed homework down to prove her innocence.]
[Seiun Sky just grinned and instantly copied all the answers. She's got some real talent, that one. Such a good memory, but she refuses to use it for studying, saving it all for her little tricks.]
[King Halo, on the other hand, is a model student. To be honest, I ran into her when I first came to Tracen. At the time, she was practicing some kind of vulgar laugh. It was only when I got closer that I realized she was practicing a first-class laugh. It really threw me for a loop.]²
[I was thinking, for such a nice girl, why practice a vulgar laugh? Turns out I just misheard.]
[And Special Week, all she does is eat. Seeing her eat so much puts my mind at ease. A good appetite is a blessing, a true blessing.]
Tracen Academy.
El Condor Pasa and her friends had just started their break when Xu Zong's diary appeared. She immediately grabbed it and started reading with great interest. But she wasn't expecting to see her own name right away.
"Eh... Goofy? That's so mean, Trainer!" El Condor Pasa couldn't accept it. She was a goofball herself, and the expression on her face was priceless.
"Waaah, El Condor Pasa is the! World's! Strongest! Compared to Grassy and Seiun, I'm definitely the smart one, Desuuuuuuu!"
"And besides, Grassy is just mistaken. She's my rival, after all."
El Condor Pasa clenched her fist, standing tall. She was still an optimistic and cheerful girl.
However, reading on, King Halo's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe it. Was this all part of Seiun Sky's plan?
"So she was trying to copy my homework on purpose?"
"Oh-hohohoho!"
But what was truly unexpected was that King Halo wasn't angry at all. Instead, she let out a confident laugh. She understood. The fact that Seiun Sky would go so far as to lie just to copy her homework only proved her own first-class academic ability. How could that not be a reason to be happy?
What a character. King Halo's thought process was always so unique.
But as King Halo read further, her characteristic laugh came to an abrupt halt, turning into a violent cough.
"Wh-what do you mean, a vulgar laugh?!" King Halo couldn't take it anymore. This was blatant slander! She gritted her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do. Being naturally innocent, a blush spread across her cheeks. Honestly, I'm not vulgar, it's a first-class laugh, FIRST-CLASS!!
Good grief. The others who saw this died laughing. Even the elegant Grass Wonder couldn't hold it in. Although Xu Zong clarified later, most of the horse girls were laughing so hard their sides hurt. The first part was just too ridiculous.
But they were also thinking, the only person who can stop King Halo's laughter is probably Trainer Xu Zong, right?
"Aaaaargh! I'm so mad, Trainer Xu Zong!!" King Halo was thin-skinned. Hearing everyone's laughter, she blushed beet red with embarrassment and stomped her foot. She wanted to go and complain to Xu Zong, but then she remembered she couldn't talk about the diary. It seemed like a hopeless situation. In a fit of anger, she could only punch the air, as if Trainer Xu Zong were standing right in front of her.
"Hmph." Finally, she let out a huff and continued reading the diary. He'd better not persecute her anymore. King Halo decided she was going to find Trainer Xu Zong. He couldn't write like this anymore, or else there would be consequences.³ Hmph!
As for Seiun Sky, she was holding her head in her hands.
"It's over. Seiun-chan's plan has been exposed. Now everyone's going to think I'm a bad kid."
"Waaaah, Trainer Xu Zong, can't you just not write about me?"
Seiun Sky was furious. Now she couldn't defend herself. She would definitely become the poster child for bad kids in the eyes of horse girl parents everywhere.
Indeed, she was self-aware. All over the world, from France to Dubai to Hong Kong, everyone had already made Seiun Sky a cautionary tale, telling their children not to be like that good-for-nothing Seiun Sky. They had already pictured her as the type to be lazy, sleep in class, slack off during runs, and only care about fishing.
Probably only Seiun Sky's grandfather still saw her as the genius that came from their ranch, the genius horse girl who could win the Classic Triple Crown. Surpass your potential, Seiun Sky. Her grandfather had always believed in her.
Meanwhile, Nice Nature couldn't handle being called out.
"Seriously, why write about me right at the beginning? I mean, I want to be noticed, but this is negative publicity."
"But... but... 'ill-mannered,' what the heck? Hahaha, I don't know why, but that's hilarious."
For some reason, even though she felt persecuted and thought she should be angry, the phrase "ill-mannered" (a pun on her name, Nice Nature) just tickled her funny bone. She couldn't help but laugh, her voice as cute as ever. Indeed, Nice Nature had a strange sense of humor. She was one of the few who would laugh at Symboli Rudolf's dad jokes.
But she eventually stopped. All in all, she was just teasing Twin Turbo a bit. How was that ill-mannered? Anyone would do that, right? Probably.
In reality, no one else would do that. Only you, NICE Nature.
At the same time, Matikane Tannhauser was also watching this.
"Wow, everyone's together. It looks so lively."
"Mmm-hmm, El Condor Pasa, Nature-san, everyone has such strong personalities."
"Nature is too much, haha. No wonder Twin Turbo was so upset this morning. Turns out she has to clean."
"Looking at it this way, it feels like I'm the only normal one. I guess I really have to keep working hard."
Matikane Tannhauser, with a cute expression, read the diary carefully, getting to know and remember each of the powerful individuals within it. She considered herself an ordinary person, so after remembering everyone's names, she would go and watch their races to learn from them.
Matikane Tannhauser's dream was to shine brightly even among these powerful geniuses, to let the people from her hometown and her supporters see her and remember her. Because, even if she was ordinary, she wanted to bring everyone the joy and laughter of racing. Ehehe, it would be great if I could do that. Matikane Tannhauser rubbed her head. She often had such silly dreams.
"And El Condor Pasa is so amazing. She has the courage to say she's the best in the world. So much personality. I want to be like her."
"Because if you have personality, you're easier to remember, right?"
"Okay, maybe I should create some unique running styles!"
"Hmm? How about running with my eyes closed? Everyone will definitely remember that!"
Matikane Tannhauser thought of this method. But she soon realized it was obviously too difficult. Because if she closed her eyes, she wouldn't be able to see the road.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll just keep trying my best!"
"And I saw on Trainer Xu Zong's diary that there's a specific training goal for me. As long as I complete it, both my real-life counterpart and I will get a reward..."
"I wonder if I can do it? It would be great if I could get you that reward."
"Mmm-hmm, hopefully it will make you luckier, so you don't get scared by spiders so often, or fall down while walking, and don't have bad luck like me, always getting nosebleeds from being hit..."
Matikane Tannhauser smiled as she listed them out one by one. She wanted to bring good luck to this friend she had never met.
