Outside, the rain continued.
The spectators in the stands were either holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats.
Although the weather wasn't great, everyone's enthusiasm wasn't too affected.
"Sister, for this Sakura Laurels, how big of a gap do you think Polaris can pull?"
At the very front, Mejiro Altan turned to look at the person beside her and suddenly asked.
The so-called Sister was naturally Mejiro Takamine; they had specifically come to watch the race today.
Hearing this, she pondered for a moment and replied:
"Hmm... judging from the previous race results, it will be at least a large gap."
She paused slightly.
"Polaris is someone who won't hold anything back; as long as she steps onto the racecourse, she will definitely give her all, and her strength makes it almost impossible for the race to have any twists."
"In the hearts of the spectators, a suspense-free, crushing victory is already her race characteristic."
Mejiro Altan listened and nodded in agreement.
Then, as if she thought of something, she carefully phrased her words:
"Speaking of which, Sister, will you feel unwilling? About someone else winning the Three Triple Crown honor first."
"Unwilling?"
Mejiro Takamine shook her head, her expression calm as she said:
"There's nothing to be unwilling about; my love for racing won't change because of this."
Speaking of which, she was the one who brought up the Three Triple Crown to Polaris.
At that time, she had already anticipated this coming snowstorm that would continue to sweep through, and she was mentally prepared.
Polaris is strong, extremely strong, strong enough to make Horse Girl of the same generation lose the desire to compete with her.
With her strength, she certainly wouldn't be limited to the Three Triple Crown, and her race announcements clearly indicated this.
Furthermore, honors like these are inherently prepared for Horse Girl whose strength meets the standard; dwelling on the order of achievement doesn't hold much meaning.
What's important is whether one can achieve it, and whether achieving it brings a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
"Is that so? I understand, Sister."
A smile appeared on Mejiro Altan's face, and she didn't continue the topic, instead changing it:
"Sister, when do you plan to debut?"
"Hmm, October this year."
Before that, she needed to train and adjust her body to the best possible state.

This race's commentary and live broadcast were handled by two ladies; at this moment, the Announcer (Female) was delivering the opening remarks:
"This year, it has finally come to this moment, the first race of the Classic Three Triple Crown series, the Sakura Laurels."
"Although Hanshin Racecourse is covered in rain, the grand spectacle is no less than in previous years."
"Among the participating contestants, the most attention is undoubtedly on Polaris Absolute Speed, known as the Polaris Glare."
"Being overwhelmingly popular as the top favorite, can she successfully claim the first crown and add a stroke to her queen's path?"
"Now! Under the gaze of all spectators, the Horse Girl participating in this race are officially entering the field!"
As her words fell, everyone's gaze turned towards the contestant's passage.
And the first to enter the field was none other than Polaris Absolute Speed, dressed in a magnificent black gown.
She had specifically entered early this time; as the one being challenged, she should stand at the very front, accepting the distant gazes from behind.
Upon recognizing her, the spectators couldn't help but cheer, shouting her name.
Polaris Absolute Speed also turned around, a smile on her lips, and waved to the spectators.
With her action, the cheers immediately grew even more fervent.
——
"That's truly amazing, these cheers! Just imagining myself there makes my heart involuntarily excited."
In a certain lounge at Central Tracen Academy.
Maruzensky looked at the live broadcast on the TV and said with a smile.
"Ah, yes, Polaris's popularity can truly be said to be the highest in Japan right now."
Rudolph Symboli also nodded, the smile on her lips particularly evident.
——
"So this is Polaris's race outfit, it's really nice."
In a room in a manor in London.
Yuu Mai held a cup of coffee, her gaze fixed on the live broadcast displayed on the phone on the table, muttering softly to herself.
——
"Wow, is this the During the same period that sirius mentioned? Her aura looks so strong."
In a certain pool hall, several Horse Girl with multiple earrings and somewhat fierce expressions gathered together, looking at the built-in TV and making a commotion.
"Right? This girl's aura is very strong, you know, the kind that can freeze you in place and make you tremble."
Sirius Symboli put down her cue, walked over with a smile on her lips, and also looked at the TV.
——
"Polaris..."
On the academy's training ground, Mihono Bourbon, dressed in sportswear, was also watching the live broadcast on her phone.
——
The perspective returns to the racecourse.
After a brief interaction with the spectators, Polaris Absolute Speed stepped towards the starting gate.
The other participating Horse Girl entered successively, and seeing this, they also didn't delay, choosing to follow.
There were a total of 23 Horse Girl participating in this race, which was quite normal for such a once-in-a-lifetime grand stage.
Standing in front of the gate and turning around, Polaris Absolute Speed's gaze swept over the Horse Girl following behind, ice and flames simultaneously displayed in her eyes, and she suddenly spread her arms and said loudly:
"Horse Girl! Be proud! To be frozen in the extreme ice by me, gazing at my advancing back!"
As her words fell, her aura burst forth, and a violent snowstorm suddenly assailed the Horse Girl.
"!"
A bone-chilling cold swept over, and most of the Horse Girl showed fear on their faces, their gazes involuntarily shifting, and their steps retreating.
However, there were also Horse Girl who dared to face the cold snow directly; a layer of aura appeared around them, clearly showing signs of struggle.
After the greeting, the starting signal just happened to sound at this moment.
Polaris Absolute Speed then turned around and walked into her assigned gate 9 lane.
The other Horse Girl looked at each other, and after some hesitation, they still made up their minds and entered their respective gate lanes.
"All Horse Girl have entered the gates."
Hanshin Racecourse, turf, 1600 meters, clockwise, track condition slightly heavy.
The course layout was already quite familiar: an initial straight, a large curve composed of the third and fourth turns, plus a final straight with a slope.
"G1, Sakura Laurels, now..."
As the Announcer (Female)'s voice continued, all the Horse Girl adopted their pre-race stances.
"Clang!"
The gates suddenly opened, and extreme cold instantly erupted and swept through; Polaris Absolute Speed, with an extraordinary acceleration, charged out first, while the other Horse Girl were stunned in place.
In their perception, their bodies were already frozen, unable to take a step, only able to watch as the blue-haired figure rapidly moved away.
"The race has begun! Polaris Absolute Speed dashed out in a blink of an eye and is heading towards the third turn."
"The other contestants... the other 22 contestants are slow to start! What exactly is going on?!"
The Announcer (Female)'s shocked voice echoed throughout the racecourse for a moment.
This situation was not the first time it had occurred; not only her, but even the spectators noticed that something was wrong.
But as ordinary people, they truly couldn't see the influence of the Horse Girl' auras, only speculate in secret.
However, what was certain was that this was mostly caused by the figure leading at high speed on the turf.
The Polaris Glare is indeed terrifying!
"Time is slowly passing, and the distance between the front and the back is constantly widening! Is this another solo performance by Polaris Absolute Speed?!"
Yes, it was a solo performance.
Seeing the blue-haired figure about to enter the turn, while the other contestants were still in the gate lanes and hadn't started, the spectators had already determined the outcome in their hearts.
Although the second Horse Girl finally managed to break through the solid ice that enveloped her and started, the gap created was already too large to meet the conditions for catching up.
——
In the academy's lounge, Rudolph Symboli and Maruzensky looked at the TV screen, both falling silent.
"Polaris is really scary..."
"......"
——
In the stands, Mejiro Altan's mouth was slightly agape, the disbelief in her eyes lingering:
"Sister... what exactly was that...?"
"As you saw, it was caused by Polaris's aura."
Mejiro Takamine crossed her arms, her beautiful brows unconsciously furrowing.
——
In the pool hall, several Horse Girl gathered around the TV uniformly let out sounds of confusion:
"Huh? Why aren't the other guys starting? The race has clearly begun, right?"
To this, Sirius Symboli kept her gaze fixed, and snorted lightly, saying:
"Idiots, races aren't as simple as you think."
——
On the training ground, Mihono Bourbon's eyes, fixed on the live broadcast, showed a sense of dejection:
"Polaris... is so far away... she's already at a point where she can't be caught up to..."
——
In the manor room, Yuu Mai put down her coffee cup, stretched her neck slightly, and muttered softly to herself:
"So this is your true strength, Polaris... just the aura's interference already has such terrifying suppressive power..."
"Indeed, if I want to catch up to you, I still need to start with aura resistance, and it would be great if my final burst could also be stronger."
She looked up at the ceiling, her eyes unconsciously flickering with fighting spirit.
——
Regardless of what others thought, Polaris Absolute Speed's mind was in a highly focused state after the start.
There were no extra thoughts, only a single-minded desire to move forward.
Her hooves pounded on the turf, the wind brushed past her ears, and her long blue hair continuously swayed backward.
After passing the turn and arriving at the final straight in front of the stands, the spectators' cheers resounded.
Two layers of leg power were immediately unleashed, and the scenery before her eyes suddenly changed.
She thus galloped through the extreme ice with Absolute Speed, rushing into glory.
"Crossing the finish line!!"
"Polaris Absolute Speed! With an undeniable absolute advantage, she has conquered the Sakura Laurels!"
"With twelve consecutive victories, she has already reached the pinnacle of her generation!"
"Polaris Glare! True to her name! Invincible!"
