"Merry Christmas, Trainer." "Merry Christmas." Logically speaking, Christmas is tomorrow, and it would be better to exchange gifts at that time... However, because some of them have to go back home to celebrate the holiday tomorrow... So everyone decided to exchange gifts on Christmas Eve and send Christmas greetings in advance. "Sorry, I think I'm late." "No, we came here early too." Maruzenski smiled slightly, patted the seat next to him, motioned the trainer to sit next to him, then took out a Christmas hat that he had prepared long ago and put it on Chihiro Higashino. "So, shall we exchange gifts now, or should we start later?" Because the heating was on in the restaurant, Chihiro Higashino hung her coat on a rack nearby and looked at the gift boxes placed nearby with interest. "Let's eat something before we start." Mejiro Aldan pointed to the sumptuous dishes that had been prepared on the table. Everyone sat around the table, drinking together and chatting, livening up the atmosphere of Christmas Eve to the extreme. After eating and drinking, it is natural for it to be the gift-exchanging session that everyone is very concerned about.

Super Little Bay proposed a small game of drawing lots to give gifts. To put it simply, everyone draws lots in the blind box one by one, and the name of the person who draws the lot... The person who draws the name must take out the gift he or she has prepared for the other person...If you draw your own name or the other person has already given a gift, put it back and draw again. The first person to draw was naturally Chihiro Higashino. He reached down and picked one up at random, "Maruzenski." "Eh? Is the first one mine?" Maruzenski, who was sitting next to Chihiro Higashino, was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up, walked to the pile of gifts aside, and found the gifts he had prepared for the trainers. "Open it quickly and take a look." Seeing everyone's curiosity, Chihiro Higashino quickly opened the gift box, revealing the gift inside - very exquisite figures of Asuna and Kazuto Kiritani. "The last time I went to the summer training camp, you were reading light novels, trainer. I thought that you must also like figurines and the like, so I bought two figurines for you." "Thank you, I like this gift very much." Although she didn't have much time to buy it before due to work reasons... But as a standard 2D fan, Higashino Chihiro said she couldn't refuse such a beautiful figure... I was even thinking about whether I should buy a cabinet to store the figures later. Then it was Maruzenski's turn to draw the lots, and he drew Mejiro Altan. The gift that Aldan prepared for her was a skin care product for tail care. Higashino Chihiro didn’t know what it was used for, after all, he didn’t have a ponytail himself. But looking at Maruzenski's expression, you can tell that this thing is very good. The one whose name was drawn later was Tamamo Cross. The gift that Higashino Chihiro prepared for her was a takoyaki pillow. From the way she held it tightly, it can be seen that she was very satisfied with the gift she gave. "Little Bay...are you serious about this gift...?" After sending out the gift of Tamamo Cross, Higashino Chihiro drew the name of Super Bay, but the gift given to her by the other party... “Ahahaha…” Super Bay scratched his cheek awkwardly, then clasped his hands together and closed his eyes and said, “I’m really sorry, Trainer. When I was choosing a gift for you, I unknowingly chose this.”

Higashino Chihiro looked at the baby bib in her hand and didn't know how to express it. Even if she was going to give him a bib, she should at least give him one that he could wear. After a small episode, the game continued. Fortunately... except for Super Little Bay, the gifts given to me by other horse girls were very normal. "You don't have to draw the last one." Mejiro Aldan did not expect that the last remaining gift was the one she gave to the trainer. She walked to the front and pulled down the curtain behind the gift to reveal an extra-large gift box. "what is this?" Such a big thing immediately aroused Chihiro Higashino's curiosity. Could it be that... what's inside is a man's romance? Mejiro Aldan looked at Chihiro Higashino's expectant expression and let him go forward and open the gift box himself. So Chihiro Higashino grabbed a ribbon beside her and pulled it gently, and the gift box fell off, revealing the things that were originally packed inside. “Is this… a massage chair?” Although she was a little disappointed, she was still shocked by the gift given by Aldan. Higashino Chihiro pointed at the massage chair and asked, "Is this a gift from you?" "Um……" Mejiro Aldan smiled and said, "Because the trainer has to deal with documents every morning, and has to take care of our training in the afternoon and evening, and usually reads books, so I thought of giving this to you. Although the massage effect is not as good as manual massage, it is good to lie on it and massage for a while when you are in the dormitory." "return Don't worry about the transportation. Someone from the Mejiro family will deliver it to the academy tomorrow afternoon. I will inform the trainer in advance." The rest of the time was naturally a happy Patty time... Because it was an independent villa, plus the sound insulation was very good... So you don’t have to worry about disturbing your neighbors when you sing karaoke or dance at home. However, Higashino Chihiro originally thought that she should just watch the performance of these singing and dancing horse girls, and forget about it... Although he can't be said to be tone-deaf, there is no harm without comparison. But Ma Niangren didn't think so. She forced you to sing a song... So Higashino Chihiro finally sang the school song of the academy. After he finished singing and saw the smile on Ma Niangren's face, he would never sing a second song. Seeing the trainer's shy look, they no longer forced Chihiro Higashino to sing another song and just sang their own songs. They partyed until 11 o'clock in the evening, then Chihiro Higashino got up and drove back to the academy. Tamamo Cross and the others stayed at Aldan's house... Although Aldan also invited Chihiro Higashino to stay, she declined. When he returned to the academy, he went upstairs carrying the Christmas presents given to him by the horse girls. "Um...this is?" When she walked to the door of her dormitory, she was stunned to see the gifts piled up at the door. She lowered her head and saw that they were gifts given to her by other trainers and horse girls. There were also symbolic gifts from the chairman, Ms. Junchuan, and Rudolph. "This is really..." After opening the door, Chihiro Higashino took the gifts in one by one. Looking at the gifts piled on the ground, her sense of belonging to the academy was rapidly increasing. "This is truly the best Christmas Eve ever..."

The new year has not brought any big changes to the horse racing girls. Oh, no, not for the second grade... For the jockey girls, who are now considered third-years in the middle school division, the atmosphere is a little more somber this year. Because this year is the year for them to participate in classic events, many important competitions can only be participated in this year, and after this year, there will be no way to participate... Therefore, the spirit and energy of the third-year horse racing girls in the middle school department have been improved to the best state on the training ground. For trainers and horse girls, after a short New Year holiday, they need to return to training and make full use of this energy. "Maruzen, speed up! Aldan, speed up!" On the training ground, Chihiro Higashino held a stopwatch in her hand, her eyes fixed on the five horse racing girls running on the field. The hand holding the stopwatch pressed the button quickly from time to time, recording the sprint speed of the horse racing girls in the last three waves. This kind of life is a daily routine for Chihiro Higashino. She was a little uncomfortable with the series of short holidays before. Is this the self-awareness of a corporate slave? However, in the new year, things became more complicated for Chihiro Higashino. The first and most important one is naturally the classic match between Maruzenski and Mejiro Altan, followed by the debut matches of Tamamo Cross, Oguri Cap, and Super Kobayashi in the second half of the year. Then there are other things including the completion of the office and teaching building, the need to move things, a lot of things to do in the new semester, the enrollment of new students, and so on. "Okay, take a break." He gave them the version of the Dongye functional beverage that he had devoted himself to researching for a long time. Compared with the previous version, the taste of this functional beverage is not as good as the beverages on the market, but it is not as bad as before. However, the effect is not as good as . Having just finished running, Super Bay was still a little out of breath, with a blush on her cheeks. She looked at Higashino Chihiro and said, "If I remember the time correctly, the entrance exam for freshmen will be in two weeks, right?" "Well, that afternoon your training will either be held outside or in the gym. The training ground will then be used entirely for testing new students." Higashino Chihiro opened the schedule on her phone and showed it to them. "And what a coincidence, I was also selected by the chairman... That day I will also be on site with Okino-senpai to test those horse girls." When Higashino Chihiro thinks of the time when Miss Toshikawa came to the training room to inform him and Mitsuji Okino that they were going to be on duty, Mitsuji Okino's frowning expression and his constant muttering about recruiting horse girls, he still wants to laugh. Originally, this kind of thing could be left to the teachers and instructors in the academy... But there are too many horse racing girls who come to register every year, and the teachers have to take care of the elementary school enrollment... That’s why the trainers need to lend a hand, otherwise the instructors may have to work for two days and still not finish their work. "But why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Higashino Chihiro looked towards the super small bay, "Could it be that you have any acquaintances or juniors who are going to take part in this entrance examination? Let me make it clear first, even if she takes the examination under my command, I will not let her off." "Torena, what do you think of me?" Super Bay rolled his eyes and said, "I just wondered if I could go take a look when the time comes. Maybe there's my future in there..." Where are my roommates? Come to think of it, it seems that Super Little Bay has not arranged any roommates for the entire year. Higashino Chihiro doesn't know the specific reason, because it was all arranged by their dormitory head. "If you want to watch, that's fine, but it's better to finish the basic training first." "Speaking of which, Chihiro, if you were allowed to choose, how many horse girls would you sign this year?" After hearing what Tamamo Cross said, everyone was quite curious... Although Torena-san always said that it was about fate, no matter what, the horse girls recruited every year also have a psychological threshold...

If we recruit too many people, we may not have enough energy and may neglect the training of some horse girls. The same is true for other trainers. It is not that they will bring an outstanding student into their team just because they see her. They also have to consider whether they have the time to train her fully. "As for me... I think three is the limit this year. I personally prefer one or two." For example, trainer Tojo Hana, because of her rich experience, can quickly designate training plans. Her team now has more than 20 horse girls all year round... but there are only more than ten of them who are still active in the first-line competitions. Chihiro Higashino believes that she still has a long way to go before she can reach the level of her senior Tojo, so it is better to take it step by step. "Okay, we've talked long enough, let's start training. If you're really curious, you can come and watch when the time comes." The focus now should still be on Maruzenski and Mejiro Aldan. In particular, the Racing Association has issued a notice to lift restrictions on returning horse girls participating in classic events... This allows Maruzenski to prepare for the upcoming Classic Triple Crown without any psychological pressure. Maruzenski's next event is the Spring Stakes, one of the outposts of the Satsuki Sho, and Mejiro Altan's is the Tulip Sho, both of which are G2 level competitions. After the training and the routine summary, Chihiro Higashino returned to the office that was temporarily converted from the training room to pack up her things. A notice has just been sent in the group that the newly built office and teaching building is ready for use, so he also has to move everything there. It is worth mentioning that next to his office is the office of Okino and others. The behind-the-scenes operation was indeed figured out by Okino Mitsuji... But there was no problem with this arrangement. Everyone had a good relationship and naturally wanted to be closer to each other. As for other trainers, Tojo-senpai also tried his best to arrange it this way. After moving the things into the office, Higashino Chihiro was stunned for a moment. Because the house was under renovation, this was his first time coming in. There was a spacious space, a separate desk, and even a sofa. On one side of the office, there was a cabinet for trainers to store the trophies won by the horse girls in the team. As for the trophies, of course the horse girls have the right to deal with them... However, generally, in order to thank the trainers for their guidance, the horse girls will leave their trophies in the training room for the younger generations who will join the team in the future to see, and also to stimulate their competitive spirit. "I will officially start working here tomorrow. I am really looking forward to what it will feel like..." Chapter 121 Entrance Examination The end of January is the happiest month for high school and junior high school students in Japan... because their entrance exams have finally come to an end and they can enjoy a good vacation for a while. For the third-year junior high school girls who want to become horse girls, the real test has just begun. In early February, Tresen College will begin recruiting students for this year. Everyone is eager to enter Tresen College, to compete in the Shining Series, and to show their charm on the winner's stage. "Are all the things ready? Have you forgotten anything?" In a flower shop in Tokyo, a mother was instructing her child. The child was about to take the entrance exam for Tresen College, so she seemed a little nervous at the moment. "School recommendation letters, transcripts, everything is ready, nothing is left behind." Monthly fee group 694936135 Ma Niang shook her head. Seeing that her mother seemed to want to say something more, she took her phone, put on her backpack and ran out of the store. "I'm leaving first. If I go in late, there will be too many people and I will have to wait in line for a long time!" "Eh!"

The mother wanted to call out to her, but she had already run onto the track reserved for horse girls and disappeared in a flash. "Really? I wanted her to take the amulet with her." "Boss, don't worry so much. Her grades in school are so good. There will be no problem for her to join Tresen College." "Alas, but there are so many powerful horse girls in Tresen Academy, I am really worried. And that child has a bad temper, I don't know if he can be contracted to a trainer, and what kind of relationship he will have with the trainer in the future." Holding the amulet tightly in her hand, the mother kept praying for her child in her heart. On the other side, the horse girl with a mobile phone in her hand was running towards the direction of Tresen College... Although it would be safer to take a car to maintain sufficient physical strength and energy... But she thought that there must be a lot of people going to Treson College today, and the buses were probably full, so she might not be able to wait for a bus.
