"This is not a good thing for this year's elementary school students...so the academy seems to be making some changes in this regard." Higashino Chihiro nodded and said, "It is indeed a good thing. Last Christmas, McQueen and Dobb were completely clueless when they saw those ingredients. It is a good thing to let them learn more." Anyway, after graduating from Treson, you don’t really need any solid high school knowledge. You will basically learn it again in college, otherwise you won’t be able to use it. "Don't let McQueen hear this, or she might give you an unforgettable massage." "By the way, Torenasan, I also want to ask you, are we only planning to recruit one horse girl for our team this year?" Higashino Chihiro nodded and said, "My plan is this. Although you, Maruzen, and Chiyoou are no longer at a level that requires my constant attention... after I make a plan for you, I can let you train on your own." "But I think we should still let it settle down a bit, so this year's plan is to only recruit one horse girl... Of course, this is not fixed, it may be two, or maybe we won't recruit any this year." "But, when you ask me this question, do you have any candidate you want to recommend to me?" Mejiro Aldan shook her head. She was just asking out of curiosity. As for candidates, McQueen and Dober had already joined the team. The remaining little ones in the Mejiro family were either still in elementary school... or had just been born, or had no interest in joining Surpass. "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing." Higashino Chihiro said, "When I was chatting with Senior Tojo Hana before, we talked about the Rudolph symbol."
"Her injury hasn't fully healed yet, but she should be well by the second half of this year. You'll have another tough rival in the second half of this year." Mejiro Altan's expression became a little more serious. The symbol of Rudolf, like Maruzenski, was the two huge rocks weighing down the heads of these horse racing girls in the contemporary era. To surpass them was what Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyo had always dreamed of. "Well, I will train hard!" Speaking of Rudolph, he is now a third-year student in the senior department. He will only be able to fight for one year this year and next year at most, and then he will retire. However, there is now a university department at Tresen College. If Rudolph chooses to continue her studies at Tresen, she should announce to the public that she has stepped back and officially announce her retirement after she graduates from college. In other words, Mi Yu will not be able to symbolically compete with Rudolph this time. Narita Daishin and others still have hope, but it is very slim. The possibility of Tamamo and the others symbolically fighting against Rudolph is relatively high. I don't know if Tamamo can win if they meet on the field... If she wins, she will be one step closer to the title of Japan's number one horse girl. Chapter 93: Invigilation Experience February is the usual enrollment period for Teresen College... As usual, Chihiro Higashino conducted an assessment on the students who came to apply for the secondary department on the same day. After the assessment is over that day, their trainers can also have a good rest at night. "Among the candidates who came to the academy to register today, there are many horse girls who have returned from abroad." Nansaka nodded and said, "That's true. This afternoon I went to help the student union sort out some information. This year, the number of horse girls returning from abroad is more than twice as much as in previous years." "It should be because of the relaxation of the Neon Racing Association's policy on returning horse girls, and the fact that the Rudolph symbol was used last year... Maybe he came back because of the overseas expeditions." Now that more horse girls are returning from overseas, it also means that the horse racing environment in Japan is getting better and better. Okino Mitsuji didn't care much about these things. He just had to do his own thing well. Things like returning to the horse girl role had nothing to do with him. And it doesn’t mean that all the horse girls returning from overseas are extremely fierce. Their local horse girls are no worse than them. "By the way, Okino-senpai, when I saw your team training a few days ago, was there a horse girl in your team playing with a Rubik's Cube all the time?"
Chihiro Higashino looked at Mitsuji Okino with some curiosity. He suddenly felt thirsty that day and realized that he had forgotten to bring water, so he went to buy a bottle of water while the horse racing girls were resting. As a result, when I passed by Okino Mitsuji, I found that the other horse girls in his team were all in training...but the tall, grey-haired horse girl was sitting on the grass playing with a Rubik's Cube, and it was a high-level Rubik's Cube, and she seemed to be very skilled at it. "Ah, you mean the golden ship." Okino Koji scratched his head in annoyance. "According to her own words, she hasn't reached the stage of becoming a master yet. When I saw how tall she was, I thought she was a sophomore, but she turned out to be a first-year. Oh, now she's a second-year student." "But I guess, even if she reaches the stage of becoming a master, she herself won't want to train too much." In the past, Okino Mitsuji would definitely have severely criticized this kind of horse girl who has potential but likes to play badly, and would have kicked her out of the team if she didn't change. But now, Okino Koji follows her. If she wants to train, she will train. If she doesn't want to train, she will follow you... Anyway, he won't feel ashamed if he loses badly in his debut match. I'm also playing badly anyway, so if you want to play badly, go ahead. There was nothing to say about Chihiro Higashino. Everyone has their own aspirations. Uma Musume doesn't want to train and is unclear about participating in the Shining Series. There is nothing you can do about it. And the key point is that it was Okino-senpai who took the initiative to find someone else to sign the contract, so forget it. "This is my first time to serve as an invigilator here at the Horse Racing Association." Chihiro Higashino pulled the tag hanging around her neck and felt it was quite fresh. After the Arima Kinen, Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoou’s Arima Kinen, the Racing Association counted him as two G1 wins… Therefore, his current level is already at the backbone level, and he is only one step away from becoming an ace trainer. However, these levels are of no use to Chihiro Higashino. The only benefit is that she can get more salary. However, Chihiro Higashino is now a little disdainful of the fixed salary paid by the academy. If the horse racing girls in the team win a G1 race, the prize money he gets will be much more than his annual salary. The downside is that the core trainers need to work at the Horse Racing Association, and they don’t have much to do normally… Apart from some major rule changes, the only time you might need to appear is during the annual assessment. "Being an examiner here is the most boring thing." Okino Mitsuji scratched his head. Yes, it was him again this year. He himself couldn't understand why he always got the prize when everyone drew lots to decide things like this. Was his luck really that bad? "For more than two hours, I couldn't do anything. I just sat there like that, and I couldn't sleep." There are still more than ten minutes before the exam starts. Higashino Chihiro took a quick look at the candidate list and found someone he was very familiar with. "Why is Wenwu taking the exam this year? Shouldn't she graduate in the second half of this year?" "Your acquaintance?" Okino Koji came over, took a look and said, "Is this the classmate you told us about in high school?" "Yes." Higashino Chihiro put the candidate's form away and said, "I originally thought that she would apply for the exam next year at the earliest, but I didn't expect her to apply this year." "There was no news before, this is really..."
Higashino Chihiro shook her head. Now she could only believe that she could pass the exam... At the very least, she hoped that she could get more than 80 points, so that she could join Tresen College as a trainee and become a full-time student after two and a half years. "You should be worried about the practical test later, not the one we are invigilating." Okino Koji stretched and said, "She has finished all the courses for her junior year. If her grades are top-notch, then it won't be a problem for her to pass the exam." "But it's a practical exam. You should know this yourself. The content of the exam is different every year. If you hadn't happened to take an exam related to nursing, you wouldn't have gotten such a high score." "Okay, it's almost time, we should go in and get ready." Chihiro Higashino and Mitsuji Okino stood in front of the stage and completed all the preparations in front of the examinees and under surveillance. After all the test papers were distributed, Chihiro Higashino took a small stool and sat at the back of the classroom, while Mitsuji Okino sat at the front. During this process, Bunya Sara, who came to take the exam, of course noticed Higashino Chihiro, and Higashino Chihiro also saw her, but both of them tacitly did not say hello. After two and a half hours of exam, Higashino Chihiro and... After putting away the test papers, Okino Mitsuji left in a hurry. This was also to avoid the suspicion of leaking the exam questions to Bunya Sara...although he himself did not know what the exam questions were this year. "Oh, it's finally over!" After handing the test paper to the people from the Horse Racing Association and taking the phone back from them, Okino Mitsuji stretched lazily. Although he had never been there, he thought that these two and a half hours would be no different from squatting there. Maybe even more uncomfortable. Others at least had a bed to sleep on, but he only had a stool and a table and couldn't even sleep. Chapter 94: The Illness That Cannot Be Hidden After the exam was over, Chihiro Higashino followed Mitsuru Okino back to the academy. It's not that he didn't want to wait at the Horse Racing Association for Wenwu Sara to finish the exam and then ask about the situation, but today was not a day off, and he still had to go train the racing girls this afternoon. Moreover, the time for Narita Daishin's Yayoi Sho and the Osaka Cup where Sakura Chiyo and Mejiro Altan face off for the third time is very close. No matter what, it cannot affect their training. It was not until the end of the first round of training in the afternoon that Chihiro Higashino sent a message to Fumuya Sara, asking about the results of the test. The reply she got was that she felt good, but she didn't know how many points she could get. Seeing her say this, Higashino Chihiro felt that even if she couldn't get 90 points, she could just pass and become a central trainer... But she should still have some hope of getting 80 points. Plus with her age advantage, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to pass the Horse Racing Association’s internship certification. Tamamo Cross looked at Higashino Chihiro's relieved expression and asked, "What did Sister Fumiya say? Are you confident that you will pass?" "According to her own answer, there should be no problem... But if she wants to come to Tresen College, she will probably have to wait until June... If she is approved directly, I can recommend her to the chairman and let her come directly." Higashino Chihiro put away her phone, looked at Tamamo Cross and Super Little Bay, and said, "You don't need to worry about this. What you should be thinking about now is... are you ready to compete with Little Bay again in the Spring Emperor Award?" "We are always prepared!" Tamamo Cross patted his not-so-rich chest, "We will definitely defeat Little Bay this time." In response to this, Super Little Bay also stated that it will go all out in the Spring Emperor Award. "Okay, then continue training." A few days later, at the Yayoi Sho, Narita defeated 15 opponents in a quick and tidy manner to win the match and obtain the right to leave for the Gaoyue Sho.
Later in the Osaka Cup, Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoou faced off again, which attracted many fans to buy tickets to watch the match. Mejiro Altan, whose record was one loss and one draw, did not follow Sakura Chiyo's lead in the previous match by observing and attacking from behind. Instead, he chose a position slightly ahead of Sakura Chiyo. In the final sprint, Mejiro Aldan had a slight advantage and defeated Sakura Chiyo by half a length, tying the score between the two. Originally, everything was developing in the best direction that Chihiro Higashino had expected...but a small accident occurred in the process. "Chihiro! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing as uncle having cancer?" On this day off, Higashino Chihiro just returned to the academy from outside and was about to go back to the dormitory to rest and start working... but was suddenly pounced on the back by Tamamo Juji who had been waiting nearby for a long time. Tamamo Cross grabbed Higashino Chihiro's ears with both hands and twisted them outwards. "It hurts, it hurts, get down first, you're almost tearing my ears off!" Super Xiaowan, who was watching from the side, quickly stepped forward and took Tamamo Cross off Higashino Chihiro. Tamamo Cross, still in Xiaowan's arms, couldn't help but wave his fists and feet at Higashino Chihiro, "Tell me, you bastard! Why did you hide such an important thing from me!" "Do you think I want to hide it from you?" Higashino Chihiro touched his ear and it hurt, but he didn't blame Tamamo Cross. "It was Uncle Dangshan who told me not to tell you. He said that if I told you and it affected your competition, he would die with regret." "He said that. What can I do? I can only keep it secret from you." Seeing that Tamamo Cross was still trying to make a fuss, Super Bay reached out a hand to cover her mouth, and took her aside to calm her down. While Tamamo Cross was being taken away by Super Bay and calmed down, Higashino Chihiro asked Oguruma standing next to her: "How did she find out?" Xiao Limao thought for a moment and told everything that happened today. It turned out that when the three of them were shopping today, they met Uncle Dangshan’s son Dangshanhui. At first, nothing happened, they just saw Uncle Dangshan holding an insulated box in his hand. After they had a brief conversation and got to know each other, they left. But Tamamo Cross felt something was wrong, because Higashino Chihiro came to the nearby hospital every week... When she had suggested coming along before, he had always made the excuse that they were relatives he didn't know. But now I met Uncle Dangshan’s son here... and he seemed very familiar with the street vendor when he was buying things with him just now, proving that he has been here many times. therefore Tamamo Cross immediately decided to follow Uncle Toyama's son... If they were going to the hospital, then they would go in, if not, then they would continue shopping. Then it was very simple. They followed all the way to the entrance of Dang Shanran's ward in the hospital. At the door, they heard the doctor tell Dang Shanhui that the patient needed to rest. Then after seeing Dang Shanhui leave, they went to the small window of the ward. After seeing nothing, they immediately went downstairs and found Dang Shanhui who had not left yet. Finally, under Tamamo's continued questioning, Toyama Teru told the truth. Originally, Tamamo wanted to go up immediately, but thinking of what the doctor had said before, she turned back and squatted by him at the entrance of the academy. Higashino Chihiro also knew what happened next. He was attacked and his ears were hurting terribly. It was fortunate that Tamamo knew when to strike, otherwise she would have really torn his ears off. Walking up to Tamamo Cross, Higashino Chihiro said, "Since you already know everything, I won't hide it from you." Higashino Chihiro sighed and told the story of when she found out and what Uncle Dangshan's current situation was.
"Tomorrow is vocal music class. Come with me to visit Uncle Dangshan in the afternoon." Tamamo Cross said nothing, but just lowered his head. Now that she has calmed down, she knows that this cannot be blamed on Chihiro Higashino... But she still cares about what Chihiro Higashino has been hiding from her... So she didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being, so she walked towards the dormitory on her own. Super Little Bay, Oguruma and Higashino Chihiro looked at each other and felt helpless. Now they could only wait for Tamamo Cross to calm down. Chihiro Higashino touched her ear and felt that it was necessary to go to the infirmary to get some medicine, otherwise she might not be able to sleep comfortably tonight.
