After a comfortable sleep, Uralala was the one who woke Lu Jue-jun up.

Upon reaching the beach, Nishizaki Ryu lined up the team to begin the afternoon training.

The beach was gloomy, and today's wind was strong, blowing the Uma Musumes' hair to one side like weeds.

"The wind is really strong this afternoon," Lu Jue-jun said with some concern.

"This is perfect for simulating conditions when we encounter strong winds on the track," Nishizaki Ryu understood Lu Jue-jun's unspoken meaning. "But today we'll just practice on the beach, no swimming. If it rains, we can quickly escape back; large umbrellas are ready over there."

Lu Jue-jun nodded, relieved that they were prepared.

Nishizaki Ryu blew a whistle, gathering all the Uma Musumes. "Today we'll have group tests, one group at a time, right here on the beach, so the intensity might be a bit high."

The resistance of the wind, combined with the soft sand, indeed made running much more difficult, and with certain requirements, the training intensity increased.

"Trainer Nishizaki, will the group training be scored?" Narita Brian asked, raising a hand.

Nishizaki Ryu's special training always involved individual efforts, with no team scores.

But ultimately, more than the strict training and the terrible weather, Narita Brian feared drinking "ketsujiru" again.

"No scores. This afternoon, due to the weather, we'll finish the tests early and call it a day early."

"Doesn't that mean there won't be any penalty activities today?" Narita Brian's calm words couldn't hide her joy.

Their team had drunk the most these past few days; at night, when she slept, she felt as if Lu Jue-jun would appear in her dreams with that drink, urging them to consume it.

It was truly an unforgettable taste.

"Good—" Taiki Shuttle cheered.

She already had a psychological shadow; before she even started drinking, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

Agnes Digital's lips slowly curved into a slight smile.

Seiun Sky secretly made up her mind that if she had to drink it again, she would retaliate.

For example, she would hold a mouthful and make Lu Jue-jun taste it too!

During training, Lu Jue-jun was the Trainer and she was a team member, but privately, their relationship might not be the same.

"Not necessarily," Nishizaki Ryu shook his head. "If it doesn't rain tonight, the three of us Trainers discussed organizing an outdoor party."

"Winning Live is also part of the training. At that time, each team will send members to perform, and a winner will be determined based on scores."

Nishizaki Ryu explained the plan clearly.

Since it was a Winning Live competition, none of the three teams were afraid.

"President, President~ Can I perform with you on stage then?" Tokai Teio looked at Symboli Rudolf expectantly.

"Of course, no problem. It's a rare chance to share the stage with you, Emperor."

"Yay!" Tokai Teio jumped excitedly on the spot.

After calming down, her gaze secretly shifted towards Lu Jue-jun.

Besides Symboli Rudolf, she also wanted to sing a duet with Lu Jue-jun... She wondered if Lu Jue-jun had forgotten about what she mentioned in the car last time.

Maybe he just brushed it off as a joke? Should she invite him herself then?

Given Tokai Teio's personality, merely inviting someone for a duet shouldn't make her so hesitant.

But her heart clearly conveyed feelings of hesitation.

"Mimi, shall we perform together then?"

Uralala invited Rice Shower.

If she were to go on stage alone, she would still be a little nervous.

"I want to, but Uralala... we seem to be opponents."

"We can still perform together, it's not like only teammates can perform."

"Oh, then I'll go on stage with Uralala."

On the other side.

If this were a manga, then at this moment, blue flames would be burning behind Seiun Sky, and red flames behind Silent Suzuka.

"Hey, Silence Suzuka, want to go on stage and compete?"

"With pleasure."

"Silence Suzuka shouldn't cry like Xiao Te if she loses the competition, right?"

"Seiun, you haven't won against me in the simulated races, have you?"

As they spoke, the two grew closer and closer, finally letting out a soft hum in unison and turning their heads away.

"Seiun, did you just call my name?" Special Week walked over, asking blankly.

"No, you misheard, Xiao Te."

"Is that so? I thought you called me just now."

After Nishizaki Ryu organized the warm-up activities, the afternoon training officially began.

The wind-swept Uma Musumes kicked up sand, leaving behind one footprint after another.

Lu Jue-jun quietly retreated to a safe distance, timing the Uma Musumes as they crossed the finish line.

Affected by the environment, their times were three or four seconds slower than usual, but being able to overcome such harsh conditions was already quite remarkable.

"Silence Suzuka is still amazing," Lu Jue-jun praised.

"Isn't Lu Jue-jun the one who knows this best?"

Silent Suzuka bit her hair tie, her graceful figure standing tall, gathering her loose orange long hair behind her.

She didn't care much about her hairstyle, but Lu Jue-jun had tied her hair into a ponytail last time.

Including when they did 'that' thing, he would also ask her to wear that hairstyle.

"Are you saying I'm very familiar with your speed, right?"

Lu Jue-jun blinked rapidly, because Rice Shower nearby was looking at them curiously.

Say yes, say yes...

"Speed? Is that so? But it shouldn't be me who knows..." Silent Suzuka ignored Lu Jue-jun's gaze, pretending to be ignorant when she clearly understood.

So, teasing Lu Jue-jun in front of someone who understood nothing wasn't Seiun Sky's exclusive privilege.

But Silent Suzuka rarely did this; what was wrong today?

"Ahem!" Lu Jue-jun quickly interrupted Silent Suzuka, turning to Rice Shower. "Rice Shower, next time try to increase your stride frequency. You must overcome this, and then you can improve."

"Okay." Rice Shower nodded, thinking, "Increase stride frequency? I'll try it later to see if I can be faster."

She walked back while thinking; in the previous run, she had been paired with Silent Suzuka and was left behind quite a bit.

Lu Jue-jun felt relieved when Rice Shower was easily fooled, then glared at Silent Suzuka, "Don't say strange things!"

"Did I say anything? Why does Lu Jue-jun find it strange?" Silent Suzuka's voice was calm, but her eyes concealed a burning heat like a sea of fire.

"Go get ready for the next run," Lu Jue-jun said helplessly.

He could feel that Silent Suzuka had a different kind of charm and allure today.

This morning, while Lu Jue-jun was still washing up, Silent Suzuka had already woken up.

And, she ambushed him from behind, then cupped his face and looked at him for a long while before slowly nibbling on him.

Speaking of which, during these few days of training camp, he and Silent Suzuka hadn't done anything... because they couldn't stay up late, otherwise it would affect the next day's training.

So, had she been holding it in for too long?

Lu Jue-jun looked at Silent Suzuka again, and his thoughts were immediately confirmed.

Because her gaze seemed to want to devour him completely.
