Umamusume: My Horse Girl Is Not Wronged

Chapter 23: Special Training

(Yesterday, I wrote something incorrectly; Tokai Teio has not appeared yet.)

......

“Trainer, we’ve changed our clothes, come in quickly!” Uralala’s head peeked out from beside the door.

“Ready? Then I’m coming in.”

Sweat should naturally be smelly, especially when three people are drenched in it.

But after Lu Jue entered the training room, he smelled an even richer fragrance, like the fresh scent of a certain flower after being dampened by rain.

“Trainer, what’s this easy activity you mentioned next?” Uralala, who was exhausted a second ago, was full of energy again.

“It’s a special training session for Xiao Te.”

Special Week pointed at herself, “Me?”

“Your debut race is approaching, if not you, then who?” Lu Jue said.

“Then how are we going to train Xiao Te!?” Really, no intense training needed, Uralala was even more excited.

Lu Jue’s mouth twitched. Uralala certainly knew how to use words.

“It’s that.” Lu Jue pointed at the small sandbags prepared on the table.

Silent Suzuka asked in confusion, “Sandbags?”

“Yes.” Lu Jue nodded, starting to explain the reason, “Among Xiao Te’s opponents, there’s a competitor named Nimble Beret. Her strength is very high… she might pose a certain threat to Xiao Te, so throwing sandbags is to train Xiao Te’s reaction speed.”

“Yay~ Sandbags! I love playing!”

“Uralala, don’t use too much force later, okay?” Special Week said with a forced smile.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Te, I won’t hurt you!”

“Uralala, don’t speak too soon. Xiao Te’s reaction speed is very strong.” Silent Suzuka said.

Special Week often received such training in the countryside. Although it wasn’t very systematic, it was effective.

“Really, Silence Suzuka? Is my reaction speed really that strong?” Special Week asked weakly, lacking confidence.

“Xiao Te!” Silent Suzuka pouted slightly.

The atmosphere in the training room was very joyful.

......

Everyone picked up the sandbags and returned to the training ground.

Lu Jue briefly explained the rules, “The first round is continuous throwing, try to be as fast as possible. The second round is intermittent throwing, don’t give Xiao Te too much time to react. We’ll cycle like this.”

“Understood!”

“Okay.”

Lu Jue and the other two stood in front of Special Week.

Although Special Week had no worries about what was behind her, such close proximity also made her feel a lot of pressure.

“Here they come!” Special Week’s eyes changed, and she stood ready.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh——”

Three sandbags were thrown consecutively, moving very fast.

But in the focused eyes of Special Week, it was as if a slow-motion button had been pressed, and the flight paths of the three sandbags were traceable.

Without any surprise, Special Week easily dodged them.

“Amazing, Xiao Te!”

“Xiao Te, I told you that you should be more confident.”

......

This special training lasted for a long time.

Uralala went from being full of energy at the beginning to being dispirited now. “I can’t hit her at all! It’s not fun at all!”

However, Lu Jue and Silent Suzuka managed to hit her quite a few times later on.

“Uralala, how about I stand still and let you hit me?” Special Week felt a bit embarrassed.

“Hmph, no!”

“Uralala, don’t be naughty.” Lu Jue picked up the sandbags from the ground. “Today’s training ends here. Everyone, go rest in the training room.”

......

Back in the training room, yesterday’s training clothes were already dry. Lu Jue collected the clothes and returned them to the three.

“Get yourselves ready, you should go back and eat.”

“Okay! I’m starving!”

The foodie Special Week also followed, “I’m so hungry too. I’m going to eat two bowls of rice tonight!”

Only Silent Suzuka looked at Lu Jue, who had sat back down at his computer desk, and said, “Lu Jue-jun, are you still staying here?”

“Yes, I’ll go back a bit later.” Besides recording today’s training data, Lu Jue also had some other things to handle.

“For a long time? I can… bring you food.”

Silent Suzuka actually wanted to stay and accompany Lu Jue, but because of Uralala and Special Week, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

“It’s fine, I’ll be done very quickly. You should go now, they’re waiting for you.” Lu Jue felt Silent Suzuka’s concern and was inwardly pleased.

Silent Suzuka glanced at Special Week and Uralala waiting at the door, nodded, and said, “Okay, then you should also go back and rest early.”

“Yes, I know.”

......

After Silent Suzuka, Special Week, and Uralala finished eating, Silent Suzuka was still worried, so she found a random excuse to send the other two away.

“Silence Suzuka, did you leave something behind again? Haven’t you been resting well lately?”

Special Week thought Silent Suzuka was a meticulous person and shouldn’t be misplacing things.

“A little bit, maybe.”

“Could it be that I snore at night!?”

“Does Xiao Te snore at night? I can record it and use it as an alarm.” Uralala laughed.

“No, I just haven’t been resting well. You two go back first.”

......

Silent Suzuka returned to the training room, and indeed, there was still light inside.

She pushed the door open, and Lu Jue was still sitting in front of the computer.

“Silence Suzuka?”

“Lu Jue-jun, why haven’t you left yet?”

“I didn’t expect there to be so much, but it will be much better next semester.”

The Trainer’s job was okay, but the crucial part was the teaching job, which required submitting a lot of documents to the school.

“Can’t you do it tomorrow?”

“It’s due tomorrow, hehe.” Lu Jue hadn’t realized that when he got lazy, so many things would pile up.

“You don’t look like a teacher at all.” Silent Suzuka sat beside Lu Jue and complained, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Lu Jue saw that she had no intention of leaving. “If you’re not in a hurry, just stay with me.”

“Okay.”

The time spent with Lu Jue.

Silent Suzuka felt very at ease.

Even if they didn’t say anything or do anything.

Especially when Lu Jue was working seriously.

It was as if by magic, attracting her gaze to his profile.
