Chapter 1342 No. 248: Someone has to carry the burden forward
Jiemen Racecourse, 1:14 p.m.

With only half an hour left before the start of the game, the noise in the audience seats could no longer be stopped. At that moment, on the high platform at the back of the open-air audience seats, there were some special spectators who had the same expectations as them.

For example, this black-haired horse girl is standing with one foot on the stone pier beside the fence, leaning sideways with her hands raised to her eyebrows.

The cool breeze under the autumn rain fluttered her white meteors and the red string tied to her ponytail behind her head, which fell into the eyes of the man behind her. He seemed to sense the fluctuations in her heart and spoke:
"What are you thinking about?"

“The competition venue is really big now.”

The former ace, who had been in closed secret training for some time, had missed many competitions. Now that he was back on the battlefield, he felt unfamiliar.

"The Sprint Championship at the end of September will be recorded in the history books of the junior high school," said the demon who had erased the black card with his fingers, walking out of the black and red mist that appeared in the open space nearby. "Since that day, all G-class events have been restructured and the venues have been reconstructed. Now you can only see the familiar venues in some OP-class events."

After he said that, he nodded to the Light Star man who insisted on wearing a three-piece suit more than him.

The latter also nodded and responded: "Are you done with everything?"

The preparations that we need to make have already been formed in the telepathic channel, while the preparations that need to be made face to face are obviously variables outside of us.

- In this vigilance operation involving the cooperation of several official departments, there is not only the opportunity for everyone to hinder each other, but also the opportunity to target "outsiders".

In less than three hours, Omer had answered fifty-four calls, living like a customer service operator.

Even Renlong couldn't do this. Only a power institution like ours, where humans and non-humans are mixed, can cause so many troubles.

"It's impossible to finish the work. Even if a fight really breaks out, I can receive communication prompts inside the monster."

As Omar spoke, he showed the row of rejection displays on his terminal.

“Once you feel that the people in charge are mostly stable, you can just throw the rest into the trash.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Katsuragi's ace, whose eyes and mind were probably not here.

"What else do you think of this place?"

"7400m, it still feels a bit short."

"Really?" Lipia said calmly from the other side.

He also looked down from a high position, and his vision was always focused on those obscure yet concentrated security points.

It seems that he has some thoughts in another area, but he just doesn't express them.

"For the third-year horse girls, this may be true, but most second-year students will only complain that this is too long."

"But if they want to challenge the third grade, this is only natural." Katsuragi Ace said calmly. After all, they had all gone through this in the past.

Being able to participate in the competition in the second and third years of their careers, the Arima Kinen, which values ​​the number of fans and bounties more than qualifications and resumes, is an ultimate traffic event where seniors and juniors often compete against each other.

The sixteen most searched ones are selected from the traffic in a year, and then the traffic star of the whole year is selected from them - that being said, the actual victory is determined by each person's strength.

Speed, strategy and luck, the three keys to horse racing, appear consistently in every race, and among them, the difference in qualifications between the second and third graders often leads to rebellion.

Although horse racing is usually very cruel, a horse racing girl who has been trained for three years and is almost fully mature has a higher basic value than a two-year-old horse racing girl, so she will be the winner no matter what.

But that's usually the case.

Normally, there shouldn't be a two-year career horse racing girl who can rush into the top 20 in traffic under high-intensity internal competition, but once it appears——

——That would definitely break common sense.

This was true for Rudolf in the past, for Narita Shirahito in the past, and even for Miss Dream Journey from the Expedition Support Committee not long ago.

Even though in the past, Katsuragi Ace was symbolically suppressed by Rudolph, they actually suppressed more of their seniors who were three years older, so they did not think that the gap in experience and basic training was an insurmountable chasm.

"Whether it's common sense or an obstacle, anything boring should be surpassed."

Whether it was then or now, the words are the same.

The girl had aspired to become such an ace, and indeed had burned that image into the audience’s memory.

It also became the reason for the demon to be in trance and silence for a moment.

"...Indeed." Amid the noisy background, Omar glanced at Lipia, who was more like Katsuragi's ace trainer than Sairo, and withdrew his gaze from the calm eye contact.

“But it’s worth mentioning that the long distance of the Dream Cup is probably going to be 20,000.”

"That's quite challenging, it really excites me!" The girl raised her hands and clasped her fists together, and the sound of a deep urn showed her full strength.

“But tomorrow’s first race should be a short distance, with the maximum distance being about 13000 meters.”

Omer continued.

“Although it is a short distance, it is a short distance under the Dream Cup specifications, which has exceeded the standard limit of long-distance competitions.”

“Is that so… that’s fine too!”

He did not doubt the truth of Omer's news. Katsuragi Ace shook his head in relief, then turned his head to look at Omer, whose height had returned to 1.84 meters, and said with a smile: "How are Qianming and Rudolph's preparations?"

"And Bai Ren and Sirius."

"'Also' is not a very polite way of asking. It seems like an additional question and shows a lack of respect for others." Although he and Sirius did not get along very well, as a trainer, Omer had to point this out.

"As a contestant of the Dream Cup, if you don't have a broad vision, you may be caught off guard by a sudden dark horse."

"Eh? Are you so confident in Bai Ren?"

"Dark horse doesn't mean hair color, but, ah, wait a minute."

Omar, who was able to handle even such irrelevant words with ease, glanced at the light screen that was lit up by new information, and then black and red mist rippled around him.

When the black and red mist drew an elliptical outline that was large enough for one person to pass through, he reached in and pulled out a man in leather clothes who was screaming "Ouch!"

"Oh!" He had been struggling since he was dragged, and after he got out of the fog, he did not forget to pat the remaining fog on his clothes. The big brother O50 with black hair, brown eyes, and an East Asian face saw everyone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've never thought about taking the dark arc."

"I know you want to take the Dark Circle." Omar said sinisterly.

He loosened his hands and clapped them again as if brushing off dust.

"It's a full 136 minutes. You barely make it to the opening."

"What's the opening? Hasn't the fighting started yet?"

Looking around, there were few people around. Looking down, Hong Kai was shocked, but suddenly he understood: "Isn't this the start of the competition? Is there the girl you brought down there?"

The fact that he asked this question only shows that although Mr. Kai has been wandering outside the galaxy for many years and has a lot of information, he only believes in Omer's extraordinary possibility.

It's no surprise that he suddenly has a horse girl under his command who can participate in the Arima Kinen.

Unfortunately, Omer was not moved by this trust.

"You're overthinking," he said without any curiosity, "I don't have anyone capable enough to participate in the Arima Kinen."

I was able to participate in the Dream Cup, but I almost lost my mind because I had so many more horses in one go.

"No?" He glanced at Kai in the arena, then at Lipia, and then at the Katsuragi ace. "Are you the ace?"

The double meaning of ACE made Katsuragi Ace subconsciously look at the rings on his middle fingers, and then nodded vigorously: "Yes, Ace is here too."

Then, a strong male voice suddenly rang out in the open space: "Hello."

"Are you guys going to make small talk here?" Omer said unhappily, "If you have so much free time, why not go and take over for Zero and Geed?"

"Zed and Cero?" Kai realized belatedly, "Oh, by the way, what are they doing? There is no response from telepathy."

"Busy. Busy being interviewed."

"what?"

"It's true that Luzas needs a grand stage, but their ultimate goal is revenge. It's revenge on you all. Please don't forget this."
