The Tenno Sho!
This was the Tenno Sho we're talking about!
Oguri Cap winning a GⅢ had already surprised Su Luo, sure—but Tamamo Cross winning a GⅠ Tenno Sho was what truly shattered his worldview!
Weren't GⅠ races supposed to be on a whole different tier?
So how the hell did Tamamo win it?!
With her skinny little frame, she didn't even look like she had much strength…
How could she possibly pull it off?!
"Grey-haired horsegirls can't run fast—"
"Bullshit!"
"Hot takes like that really ruin lives!"
Once Tamamo proved that even a grey-haired horsegirl could win a GⅠ after taking the Tenno Sho… who was to say Oguri Cap wouldn't go and win a GⅠ too?
Just imagining that possibility made Su Luo's blood pressure skyrocket.
Today my heart aches… Today my hands are shaking…
"Ugh. Looks like I have to go to Central and see what's going on!"
This Central Tracen is seriously cursed!
How are their horsegirls so weak they can't even stop Oguri and Tamamo?!
Does a Tracen this useless even deserve to exist?!
—
Nishikino Academy.
Those four words had become downright famous in Hokkaido.
With Su Luo's relentless investment, Nishikino Academy had developed at an astonishing pace.
Now, purely in terms of facilities and material conditions, Nishikino stood among the very best academies in all of Hokkaido.
Even Central Tracen's environment couldn't quite match Nishikino at this point.
After all—Su Luo was dumping cash in here without mercy.
And over these past few months, Nishikino's principal hadn't been idle either.
He'd directly made contact with North Lake Academy and Dahong Academy, striking a deal with them:
As long as North Lake and Dahong sent part of their incoming students over to Nishikino, Nishikino would return the favor with a corresponding share of investment.
North Lake and Dahong were local academies. They weren't as destitute as Nishikino had once been, but if there was ready-made investment on the table, of course they were happy to accept.
As for the remaining one of the "three major academies"—Versailles Academy…
They seemed to have ties to that Student Council President from Central, and apparently enjoyed preferential support and resources from Central Tracen. They weren't particularly impressed by Nishikino's proposal.
But Versailles refusing wasn't a big deal.
The main purpose of rallying these academies in the first place was to let Nishikino secure as many promising local horsegirl "seedlings" from Hokkaido as possible.
Even without Versailles's supply, the students provided by Dahong and North Lake were already excellent.
At the very least, with Nishikino's current conditions, the principal was confident they could train horsegirls who wouldn't lose to Central!
"Truly… we have Mr. Su Luo to thank."
In the principal's office, Nishikino's headmaster couldn't help sighing in heartfelt admiration.
In his eyes, Su Luo's help wasn't just financial support.
He had proven a possibility.
He had proven that as long as local academies had enough resources, the horsegirls they produced could be every bit as strong as the ones from Central!
"Right now, Tamamo Cross from Nishikino and Oguri Cap from Kasamatsu are causing chaos in Central—local horsegirls finally have something to put on display as a banner."
"But…"
One Tenno Sho victory alone—just Tamamo Cross taking it—still wasn't enough to prove that local horsegirls had truly risen.
The local side still needed another win to validate their level!
"The Japan Derby…!"
On the principal's desk, materials about the Japan Derby were spread out neatly.
The Japan Derby.
One crown of the Classic Triple Crown—and the crown with the highest prize money.
The winner could take 200 million yen in prize money.
It was also one of the most prestigious races in all of Japan.
Winning it meant being recognized as the top horsegirl of the generation—an unquestionable aura of a true king.
That was the Derby's value.
If a local horsegirl could win the Japan Derby, then no matter what, the "golden value" of local horsegirls would skyrocket!
And when that happened, Nishikino Academy—currently the dominant force in Hokkaido—would absolutely profit from it.
But… could a local horsegirl really win the Japan Derby?
"Mr. Su Luo really is something else… Did he foresee today's situation all the way back then?"
Who would win this year's Japan Derby?
Su Luo had already given his answer.
Oguri Cap.
From local to Central—still undefeated.
Right now, this girl—dubbed by the media as the Grey Monster—had an undeniable presence in Central's races as well.
If you asked which local horsegirl could win the Japan Derby, Nishikino's principal would vote for Oguri Cap without hesitation.
Tamamo Cross had registered early for the Classic season last year, but because of her long losing streak, she ultimately couldn't enter last year's Japan Derby.
Oguri Cap was different.
This year, she had registered for the Classics—and unlike Tamamo, she had every chance to compete for the Derby title!
The more he thought about it, the more the principal felt Su Luo's frightening brilliance.
How did he manage to pick out such a heaven-sent genius from among local horsegirls?!
After all, the Japan Derby was one of the highest-prestige races in the country—there was even a saying that only the luckiest horsegirl could ever win it.
In other words, even if you had the strength, it didn't mean you could definitely take the Derby.
Yet the Oguri Cap Su Luo had chosen gave him a feeling that this year's Derby champion could be no one else.
That was extremely rare!
And on top of that, Su Luo had placed Oguri Cap in Central in advance…
He'd sent the local side's top general straight into the enemy's territory!
The higher Oguri Cap's results climbed, the more glaring and infuriating she would look to those lofty Central elites.
Letting a monster like that run wild in Central would surely shake the confidence of Central's horsegirls.
Meanwhile, the horsegirls they trained locally would become even more driven and determined because of Oguri Cap's success.
A strategy with multiple benefits at once!
"Mr. Su Luo truly has extraordinary vision."
The principal praised Su Luo's ability from the bottom of his heart—and felt even more grateful that partnering with Su Luo back then had been such a correct decision.
"We can't just wait passively anymore."
The principal stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the young figures running on the training grounds.
He knew Su Luo had opened the way—and Nishikino Academy had to keep pace.
He wanted to cultivate more "Tamamo Crosses" and "Oguri Caps" in Hokkaido's soil, turning local power into a force that could no longer be ignored.
"Next… we need to integrate resources, strengthen training, and even… strike proactively."
A clear strategy gradually formed in his mind.
Not only would they continue absorbing Hokkaido's best seedlings, they would also use Su Luo's funding and eye for talent to build a training system that wouldn't lose to Central.
At the same time, they would build momentum in public opinion—turning every local victory into a revolution.
"Mr. Su Luo is laying out the board in Central. We'll put down roots locally."
A sharp glint flashed through the principal's eyes.
"One day, we'll make the entire racing world see it—locals are no longer just the ones who run as extras!"
"Mr. Su Luo must be hoping for that day too!"
—
And right at that moment… someone buying a plane ticket to Tokyo suddenly sneezed.
"I've got a really bad feeling about this…"
