Lurching upwards, she gripped the bed for support as she got up. Dusting her body off as she stared around. "Well.. the room looks nice, but I miss my old room." mumbling to herself as she left to go downstairs, stomach rumbling as she hadn't eaten any food since leaving the plane.
Peering backwards from watching the television, Opera O heard the staircase creek lightly, instantly leaping upwards greeting the awake Kincsem. "Good afternoon, cousin!" As the groggy girl peered into the refrigerator, taking whatever seemed edible and piling it high onto a plate.
"Ha! Ha- ha! You remind me of that one glutton in our school, cousin! Though she is quite the commendable foe, I wish I could have competed against that monster during her career.. But she's retired now. A disappointing epiphany for the extraordinary me when I realised it!" Chuckling aloud, as Kincsem ate in the background.
"Do you perhaps want to have a run with me to the academy? I already made a call to Meisho to meet us there!" As Kincsem nodded, an empty plate was sitting before her. "Sure, I can do that. Just let me clean this plate and put on a new pair of shoes."
Placing the plate in the dishwasher, she went to the front door to place her shoes on. Doing light stretches in order to ease up the joints in her legs before catching up to Opera O who was slightly ahead. "Make sure to catch up, Cousin! I don't want you to be lost in the streets of Tokyo!~ It would lead to Mother scolding me!"
Taking light breathes, Kincsem began to jog after her cousin. Slowly catching up to the one ahead of her. Although having not reached Maturation, the light training she had done throughout the earlier years, and the experience of running track in the previous life had led to a decent form in running. Though it would need adaptation to suit this body.
"My body feels rejuvenated after hours of rest! As though I could fly! Don't you feel it too, cousin? Haa- ha ha!" Her scowls of laughter echoed as she jogged, head up high. "But you too are worthy of being a relative of mine, for your speed is commendable despite being two years younger!"
Taking a look back, she noticed Kincsem trailing behind her, in her slipstream, a slight smirk developed on Opera O's face as she took in the information. "To bask in the shadow of your glorious cousin! How deplorable! Though if that is what it takes to be on my level, I understand."
She began to jog at a faster pace, with Kincsem continuing to persist in the back. Her breathing was shallow, as she mumbled under her breath. "Ah.. so this is why we as Uma Musume run. It feels.. So thrilling!" As in a trance like state, she accelerated, catching TM Opera O off guard.
"So this is the ability of my younger cousin, huh? Ah Haha ha! To see her already so full of potential, it practically makes me jealous of her.. I, the one who is to become the King! I am almost glad that she can not participate in the Classics here! But I do wonder how far she shall develop back home.."
She thought of internally, as they neared the Academy, so did the mini race they had between each other, as Kincsem lurked behind Opera O. With her facial expression reading that of 'If you falter, I will overtake you.' Yet Opera O did not, as they reached the entrance.
Beginning to decelerate before they would accidentally smash into another person. A sense of vigor roared in Kincsem, as she looked up at the grand view before her. It was a grand centre that would be comparable to that of Oxford University. As she glanced at the various other Uma Musume that were chatting behind the gate.
"Good afternoon Tazuna-san!" Opera O said, with Tazuna herself nodding, before looking at Kincsem. A stare of suspicion arising. "Good Afternoon, TM Opera O, And who's this?" She asked, as she then replied, wrapping her arm around Kincsem. "Ah! This person? She's my lovely cousin! Her name's Kincsem. I wanted to show her around before it was her birthday, as she just came from Hungary."
Kincsem nodded, as Tazuna took in the information. "...I can let her in, but don't do anything that will disrupt Tracen's atmosphere." A lingering gaze lay on Kincsem. Not of suspicion, but of something else, as though Tazuna had been staring at someone who shouldn't be here.
Going on their way, the pair of them met up with Meisho Doto, with TM Opera O lunging at her, squeezing her cheeks ecstatically "Oh Meisho~ My little sheep.. How much I miss you!" As her cheeks turned a shade of red from being pulled.
Blushing from the embarrassment, she pushes away from Opera O as she tries to regain composure, waving her hands around. "W-well.. I-i was told by Opera O-san to show you around the school.." Before which TM Opera O lightly fiddled with the white streak of her hair. "Don't worry oh benevolent Doto, I shall help out!"
A surrender of defeat formed on Meisho Doto, unable to get free of the grasp of this evil Uma Musume, as they began to walk around the large campus. Standing directly in front of the main entrance to the school, as other Uma's shuttled around the place, with the finals up and coming, they carry books in their hands as others act carefree.
As they stroll across the campus, they bring some attention from the others due to the foreigner Kincsem, whilst Meisho Doto showcases the school. With them arriving at the cafeteria. "And.. Here's the Cafeteria! It's practically a buffet though, as you can- well, pick whatever you want to eat, and how much.."
Her gaze is set towards a light grey haired Uma Musume, obscured by a mountain of food. "And that is Oguri Cap! Three-time champion of the eating competitions we hold here yearly. Yet over there is Spe-chan, who always is slightly behind Oguri in terms of amount eaten, thus being the eternal second place winner." She points to a girl that has a similar hairstyle to Doto, before leading them elsewhere.
"And, here finally are the racetracks..! We have a lot of different race courses of different lengths to suit the needs of every Uma Musume! With both turf and dirt tracks too." As TM Opera O began to drag over Kincsem to one of the tracks. "Lets race, Cousin!"
Although unsurprised by TM Opera O's actions, Kincsem herself began to think about it. 'This will be my first practice race in this lifetime, interesting… Guess I should try out, especially since this is better than the one we have at home. As expected of one of the best academies in this world..' Speaking at last. "Alright then. But let me get warmed up, are you fine with that..?" As TM Opera O nods in reluctance.
