Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Ten Meters

This is a fan translation of 赛马娘：从被撞飞十米开始 The original author is 百升飞上天 Please support them! === Many years later, holding the Lifetime Achievement Award in his hands, Yasui Makoto would still vividly recall that afternoon—when he was knocked ten meters through the air by an Uma Musume. At the time, Makoto had only possessed his official trainer license from the Central Academy for a few months. Perhaps due to his obvious lack of experience, he was repeatedly turned down by prospective trainees. After yet another rejection from an Uma Musume, he was feeling somewhat dazed. As he stood at a crosswalk waiting for the traffic light, Makoto saw a small child about to be struck by a vehicle. Without hesitation, he dashed forward. He successfully saved the child— —but he himself was sent flying. Not by the car. But by an Uma Musume with short black hair, red eyes, and a dark tail. Thanks to rigorous self-training from a young age, drawing on experience from his previous life, Makoto instinctively corrected his posture mid-air, thus avoiding serious injury despite being caught completely off guard. The Uma Musume, however, was clearly terrified. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you okay?!” “My-my name is Kitasan Black! I'm a freshman this year at Tracen Academy! Please take care of me!” “I-I… Anyway, I—I promise to take full responsibility!” That was what the flustered “culprit Uma Musume” named Kitasan Black said at the time. [Note: Certain occupations and roles of Uma Musume have been slightly adapted, and the world-building has been expanded. Apart from this, historical accuracy remains intact, ensuring no disruption to original fans' enjoyment.] [Readers unfamiliar with the original series can enjoy this simply as a sports-themed slice-of-life campus story.] [Kitasan Black features prominently in the early stages, with Haru Urara joining later. Other notable Uma Musume, such as Almond Eye and Daiwa Scarlet, will also be considered as the story progresses.]
