Chapter 49 - Lessons 1: Honing Might Part 2:

Author's Note: I am not an editor or a professional writer. I will write this and edit it to the best of my ability. I also do not own Uma Musume, which is owned by Cygames. Watch the animes and read the mangas, for they are pretty good. Finally, please enjoy.

Mina Sakamoto/Du Vault POV:

After leaving the team with their coach I inspected everything was ready. From security making sure there aren't any spies. From the medical team being ready and supplied just in case of emergencies. I looked at the kitchen as they were preparing breakfast for the players as well as prepping staff meals. Then I went to the coaching staff to see them setting up training gear and making sure everything is ready.

I checked our cybersecurity team, making sure no one hacked our cameras at all. Then I inspected the strategy team for the after-breakfast classes. Everything was ready as I knew the ones who are not involved in the camp are doing important business. Hachi and Ayana are traveling around looking for staff they want to hire. With the rest helping out with one of the teams, like Hana is helping security with their cybersecurity making sure no one hacks into our systems.

Still, he is just being on the sidelines of the team, so no one suspects anything, which is also pretty brilliant. Still, we're an unknown team, and the only people that are a threat now are my bitch of a sister's team and my current enemies. In the future though, I feel that things are going to get harder. I soon arrived back and it seems they just finished with warm-ups. Then the morning workout began, and it was brutal.

They did exercises and training that ended with many throwing up and collapsing on the ground afterward. They soon showered, had breakfast and the cooking team delivered. At the same time, Tsukasa ate his breakfast with them, and the rest of the staff had their scheduled meals. Soon breakfast ended and they went to the classroom. Where Tsukasa and Yuto worked together to show strategies used commonly in the league and their own strategies of their own, as well as counters to other team's strategies.

After the team had rested they were brought to combat classes and were taught techniques and combat training. Some were already experts in combat and just did their own practice. After was lunch and most of the staff had eaten breakfast and went back to work. Soon enough we had a performance review right after as they reviewed opponents and training matches. Then individual training began as each member was sent to a different training facility with coaches I had put there.

It was brutal, as I checked to see each and every one of them. Vic was put through training activities that could be considered torture just to improve her adaptability, creativity, speed, and flexibility. Mama Blues was put into a machine that raised her speed and stamina as well as enhancing her guts. Gray was put into situational training that forced her to push her to adapt and think at a fast rate while running. Rose's agility was trained again by making her run on a track full of obstacles while keeping a certain speed.

Then GW was put onto a treadmill that made her go constantly faster with a certain amount of weight on her at all times. Rain was put into the pool to swim back and forth while carrying a heavy weight. Lily was put into a track mixed together with obstacles and multiple different track types and was running it with weighted pads that restrained her. Steel was dragging a tank on a track while on a timer and pushing a boulder. Spice was in a wave pool continuously swimming only able to breathe through a tube with the waves getting stronger and faster.

ImP was behind a push sled as she ran from a bus behind her at a certain speed around a dirt track. Sweets is wearing weighted pads going through walls and fences while lifting barbells and running. BlaD is in a mud field running as she pulls a weighted sled carrying multiple heavy objects. Jo was under a pool strapped to the bottom with a rope that extended as she swam upwards. Which retracted as soon as she stopped swimming, with only an oxygen tank to breathe strapped to her.

The goal was for her to gather the frisbees thrown in the pool to shoot into a goal on the surface, needing a certain number of points by the end. Next is Norn who is doing an extreme rope dance mixed with gymnastics needing to mimic a certain form on the wall for a certain amount of time or the whole set restarts. KiWi is on a treadmill tied to a retracting rope from where the mill is going. This forced KiWi to continuously run unable to stop at all. The treadmill also went faster over time.

It was all brutal as all of them went at it with their best. The pools had lifeguards at least and tech to see if they're over their limits, or if they're in danger. Time passed as they all soon completed their training to shower, get dressed, eat dinner, and collapse in their rooms. Still, the staff had to clean up everything and coaches have to check the data of each of the trainees. They all still had a long night ahead, which will restart again tomorrow.

Next Day

The next day was even more intense, as everything went crazier. Tsukasa somehow made everything way more intense causing shit to hit the fan. Mana had to resuscitate many of the players who just straight up collapsed from exhaustion at the end of the day. Juna had to fix her meals to re-energize and help with the recovery of the players. Suzu had to readjust the cooking staff because of it.

Takeshi had to do repairs with his crew on each gear and all the fields as many breakages happened thanks to the intensity. Ana helped out Mana with her expertise. Yuto was now helping Tsukasa fix the intensity for each player and making sure the lessons stuck. Hana became bombarded with hackers and now Iguro and security had to help her and her staff deal with it, even calling connections for help. We might need to grow her staff.

Finally, Hachi and Ayana are struggling with convincing recruits to sign up for the job. I was now headed to Hachi with my own battle PC to help with her fight. I soon logged in and soon I had come with reinforcements. There were don many hackers, whose IP addresses match my sister's squad. Fucking bitch is still trying to sabotage and spy on me so I never get ahead of her.

That's why we grew apart, her need to be the most loved and supported is driving her crazy and her insecurity makes her do crazy shit like this. The fact that she also had no talent outside of running and she knows it fuels her into insanity. Soon enough she fails and I send Hachi and Ayana a message about getting more cybersecurity experts. It was night and soon I went to sleep. What a day.

Vic collapsed from exhaustion, and Mama began throwing up like crazy at some point. Gray twisted his ankles and now had to meet with our masseuse. Rose has several cuts and bruises from crashes and falls, and GW had to be rehydrated after almost collapsing. Rain had to get CPR after almost drowning, and Lily had to be carried back thanks to muscle collapse. Steel and Spice broke their devices and had to be rescued.

ImP passed out and got run over gently by the bus, and is now in the infirmary. Sweets broke through everything and passed out due to possibly a concussion, while BlaD fainted from exhaustion. Jo almost drowned and had to be resuscitated, while Norn stretched too many muscles and had muscle pain all over. Finally, KiWi passed out from dehydration and overheating so she had to be brought back. Almost everyone was in medical and thanks to having a genius we were able to get everyone well enough to lightly train them tomorrow.

I love Umamusume's great healing factor, and with our doctor's medicine and techniques, they'll be back to training by tomorrow. Still, the coaches decided to switch things to lessen accidents and lighten the load for the next two days. They just extended class sessions and put warm-ups 30 minutes later. They also changed the workouts and training to be more effective and less intense. Still, the repair team is busy enough now that they have to build some new gear for tomorrow.

I looked at the new schedule to make sure everything is okay. First warm-ups obviously, then light physical training. Then breakfast and then extended strategy classes. After is technique martial arts training and sparring. Followed by lunch and extended performance reviews.

Then it's changed from individual training to teamwork training. After its showers, dinner, and sleep. Now I'm approved after seeing what they had planned. It might be less intense, but it won't be as easy. I soon fell asleep and soon morning came.

Next Day

After getting ready I watched the day go by. First, the team was warmed up and focused on teamwork skills for relays. Then breakfast came and it was much healthier made for recovery and restoration. Then came the class and it was a teaching of different skills to use against opponents and races. Then team sparring came next and it is brutal, but safe.

Next Lunch came and it was made with energy restoration recipes according to Juna. Then came extended performance reviews, and they focused on their current status and weaknesses. With many accepting the observations some not. Mainly Mama Blues who can't accept that her only strategy is get to the front and get to the end ASAP. Which everyone laughed at.

They also reviewed races and practice runs pointing out where to improve. After that, we got back to individual training the lighter version along with teamwork training. There we figured out who the masters of relay and the novices were. With us doing different distances and tracks. Soon the sun began to set, and showers and dinner came.

When they slept I knew things were only going to get harder. The two days will pass, and soon the training might be different, but it will get worse. Why, because we need to win the championship this year, by any means necessary. No matter who we have to crush along the way. Now I soon went to bed, tomorrow is another day.
