"By the way, Trainer-san, why are you here? I thought you wouldn't come. Didn't you say something before that you didn't want to see one of us fail?"
Tokai Teio asked Sakura Baimu, holding her head from behind with her hands.
"I went to see if McQueen is crying." Sakura Baimu smiled.
"How is that possible!! I was just a little behind!" Mejiro McQueen's cheeks turned red again and said hurriedly.
While Sakura Baimu was chatting with several Umamusume in her own team, Rudolf Symboli and Maruzensky who were standing nearby also noticed Sakura Baimu's figure.
"Let's come over and say hello."
Rudolf Symboli said something and took Maruzensky and Air Groove who had just arrived towards the location of TCB.
The three of them can be said to be the Umamusume with the highest reputation and status in Tracen Academy.
Even the freshmen who have just entered the school know these three people.
The first seven-time winner of the Umamusume "Emperor" Rudolf Symboli, the "Empress" Air Groove, and the undefeated "Hotrod" Maruzensky.
Every move of the three of them attracted the attention of the crowd around the track. They naturally attracted the attention of several people from TCB who were complaining about each other.
"President!!"
Tokai Teio was not as afraid of Rudolf Symboli's strong pressure as others.
After she saw Rudolf Symboli approaching, she immediately waved excitedly towards Rudolf Symboli like a child who had achieved good results and was waiting for praise.
"How did I run?" Tokai Teio said with a bared smile.
"You recovered well. Keep up the good work."
Rudolf Symboli looked at Tokai Teio fondly and said with a smile.
"I will...President!"
Although Kitasan Black has already seen Rudolf Symboli at the opening ceremony, she still couldn't help but feel very nervous after seeing Rudolf Symboli at the top of Tracen Academy so close.
Satono Diamond gave a speech on behalf of the freshmen and had close contact with Rudolf Symboli. But now that she saw Rudolf Symboli approaching, she felt a little nervous, for fear that she would do something wrong or say something wrong.
"Rudolf Symboli."
Sakura Baimu was not nervous when facing Rudolf Symboli, because she knew clearly that this "emperor" was completely cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
In fact, she was often troubled by the fact that many students were afraid of her.
She usually puts on a majestic look because of her status as student council president.
"Trainer Sakura."
Rudolf Symboli nodded towards Sakura Baimu, but the smile on her face when she faced Tokai Teio was gone.
"Well done, your results impress me."
"Thank you for the compliment." Sakura Baimu nodded slightly.
"Teiō and McQueen can now be regarded as the medium-distance and long-distance hegemons of the middle school division. Their strength will not be surpassed by any ordinary Umamusume in the same grade."
"What do you mean by ordinary?" Sakura Baimu asked with a smile.
Rudolf Symboli shook her head slightly and gave no explanation.
Only those who obtain and know the existence of the Zone can feel the changes of other Umamusumes.
Even if she explained it to Sakura Baimu now, it would be pointless.
What's more, she is just a trainer. Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond, who just entered school today, are her third and fourth training targets.
She also has no experience at all in cultivating Zone-centric Umamusumes.
"I'm actually quite curious about your training methods, Trainer Sakura. Mejiro McQueen's strength amazes me."
Maruzensky crossed her chest with one hand and put the fingers of the other hand on her chin, her blue eyes looking interested.
"It's nothing special, it's just more training than other trainers." Sakura Baimu told the truth.
"Ms. Sakura, I'm really surprised that you are so young and can understand each track to this extent and formulate appropriate strategies." Maruzensky smiled.
Sakura Baimu spread her hands, not showing any pride at Maruzensky's praise.
"Trainer Sakura, you are excellent and an excellent trainer. However, you must have noticed that it is becoming more and more difficult for McQueen and Teiō to improve their strength at this time. This is a sign of reaching a bottleneck. I hope you can pay attention to this and don't be complacent just because the two of them have achieved great results."
"Thank you for the reminder, President Rudolf." Sakura Baimu bowed slightly to thank Symboli Rudolf for her kind reminder.
This person was older and more senior than her, so Sakura Baimu didn't feel dissatisfied at all because of the reminder.
On the side, Kitasan Black was listening to the conversation between Symboli Rudolf and Sakura Baimu when seaned close to Satono Diamond's ear and whispered in her ear with a voice as thin as a mosquito.
"President Rudolf is a bit scary. Except for Miss Teiō, I have never seen her smile at anyone else."
"Yes, everyone says she is very serious and scary. No one dares to joke with her..."
"Dia-chan, do you think our Trainer-san will harass the president?"
"No matter how weird Trainer-san is, she wouldn't dare to do weird things to the president, right? And judging from the way they look, their conversations are very official and polite, so they must be unfamiliar with each other."
Just as Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond were whispering there, Sakura Baimu suddenly caught a glimpse of Team Spica on the side.
She pointed over there with a serious face and spoke to Symboli Rudolf.
"Symboli Rudolf, look over there."
Rudolf Symboli, as well as everyone including Maruzensky, Air Groove, and TCB all looked in the direction of Sakura Baimu's finger.
"It's Spica, what's wrong?" Rudolf Symboli wondered.
"Look there." Sakura Baimu pointed at Special Week and Gold Ship.
"It's Miss Gold Ship and Miss Special Week. Is there anything wrong with them?"
Not only Rudolf Symboli was a little confused, but everyone around her, as well as everyone in Spica who noticed the movement on their side also had puzzled looks on their faces.
Only Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen looked at each other and they both saw a hint of something bad in each other's expressions.
Their trainer is going to get sick in front of the president!
They saw Sakura Baimu keeping the movement of her fingers pointing at Gold Ship and Special Week. She then spoke in a voice that everyone could hear clearly.
"Golden Week."
The originally extremely enthusiastic atmosphere around her suddenly reached freezing point with Sakura Baimu's words.
The voices of the surrounding Umamusume suddenly froze.
All conversation was lost for a moment. It was so quiet that one could even hear the "rustling" sound of the spring breeze blowing through Sakura's petals.
Frozen together with the voice, were the expressions on the faces of everyone except the two parties involved.
This joke is too cold.
The nearest Air Groove seems to be struck by lightning, causing her mouth to open wide with shock on her face.
"Wow, Dia-chan, the president is going to be angry...our Trainer-san seems to be really missing a string in her head..."
Kitasan Black was stunned and whispered to Satono Diamond.
Satono Diamond was about to nod when she suddenly saw Rudolf Symboli in front of her shaking her shoulders, making a "puff" sound, and burst into laughter without holding back.
"You actually got it?!"
Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond both looked like they had seen a ghost and screamed in their hearts.
