Japan, Tokyo, Fuchu City.
Central Tracen Academy, at the main gate, new student orientation.
Horse Girls in academy uniforms laughed and chatted as they entered. It was almost September, and the Academy was about to welcome a new semester.
A somewhat slender, grey-coated figure stood there, exclaiming:
“Oh my, this truly is Central Tracen Academy. The atmosphere is completely different.”
Suddenly, she seemed to notice something, raising her hand to wave:
“Over here! Komiya-san! I’m here~!”
Upon hearing her voice, Komiya-san, with her long green hair, also noticed the arrival, quickly walked over, and said with a smile:
“Tama, congratulations on your admission to Central Tracen Academy. You really worked hard.”
“Hehe, it’s nothing, really.”
The somewhat slender, grey-coated figure was, of course, Yuzao Cross. She also said with a smile:
“From now on, Komiya-san and I are officially in a Trainer-Horse Girl relationship. Please take good care of me.”
“Yes, please take good care of me, Tama-chan.”
Komiya-san clapped her hands lightly:
“Well then, without further ado, I’ll take you on a tour of the Academy, Tama.”
“Okay.”
Just as the two were about to enter the Academy, a commotion suddenly erupted:
“Look! Is that…?”
“Yes, there’s no mistake, it’s Gold City! The famous model, hailed as a once-in-a-century beautiful Horse Girl.”
Yuzao Cross and Komiya-san were also drawn to the attention. They looked over and saw a blonde figure walking towards the main gate.
As if sensing something, Gold City also looked over, clearly meeting Yuzao Cross’s gaze.
The former smiled and nodded slightly, while the latter smiled and waved. They had greeted each other.
After she passed, Yuzao Cross looked at her retreating figure and mused:
“Gold City, huh? She’s my During the same period. She seems like a very capable Horse Girl.”
She then shook her head, refocusing her attention on touring the Academy with Komiya-san.
Pool, gym, dance studio, outdoor stage, library, free buffet cafeteria, and so on.
The two quickly walked through everything, finally arriving at the training ground.
Feeling the gentle breeze at the end of summer and looking at the recently renovated grass, Yuzao Cross felt her mood instantly brighten considerably:
“This is truly a nice place. It’s no worse than the private training centers I often visit.”
Speaking of which, she also remembered that blue-haired figure. She turned to Komiya-san and asked:
“By the way, Komiya-san, is Polaris at the Academy?”
“Polaris? Are you talking about Polaris Glare? She’s currently on an overseas expedition.”
“Overseas expedition? Polaris has already gone to challenge the world?”
“No, rather than challenging the world, it’s more accurate to say she’s showcasing her strength to the world…”
As a Trainer, Komiya-san had been following Polaris Glare’s overseas performances to some extent:
“How should I put it? Her strength has become so great that even overseas competitors find it difficult to contend with her.”
“Eh? Is that so?”
“That’s right. According to her latest race announcement, she will be participating in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in early October.”
Hearing this, Yuzao Cross blinked, confused:
“Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe? Is it a very impressive race?”
Komiya-san smiled and replied:
“It’s not a question of whether it’s impressive or not; that race itself is like the pinnacle of existence, and a Horse Girl who achieves victory will be recognized as the strongest in the world.”
“The strongest… in the world…”
Thoughts flickered in Yuzao Cross’s eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips:
“Is that so? Polaris is already that strong.”
“I need to work hard too. I’ve received so much kindness from her mother; if I don’t achieve something respectable, I’ll feel really bad.”
She suddenly clapped her fist into her palm, lightning faintly stirring in her eyes.
Seeing her full of motivation, Komiya-san still smiled:
“Hey, Tama, I specifically brought a set of sportswear. Do you want to go run on the grass now?”
“Oh? Can I?”
“Yes, no problem. Besides reporting and tidying up your things in the dorm, there are no other arrangements for today.”
“Alright, I’ll go to the restroom quickly and be right back. Wait for me.”
Taking the plastic bag from Komiya-san’s hand, Yuzao Cross headed towards the restroom.
Inside the student council room, Rudolph Symboli stood by the window, watching the newly admitted Horse Girls in the hallway, and suddenly murmured to herself:
“A new generation, huh… It’s truly something to look forward to.”
