On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

[Guardian Box]

Okay, what if Tanya convinces herself she has no racing talent, quits, and gets job as a camera uma. Every race she hauls a heavy camera on her shoulder and runs on the inside to the track, keeping her heavy equipment focused on the lead uma of that particular race while somewhat keeping up with her.

All day. Every day. Each and every race from morning till dusk.

Eventually someone notices and she becomes an instant media sensation and an internet darling.

Thank you for the chapter!

Over the course of her brief tenure at Tracen so fair,

Is this supposed to be "far" instead of "fair"?

You and a host of other well-wishers, it seems. Many of them probably cared because her success would make them look good,

It made it more difficult to stomach her inferior talent.

I can see Shirogane pushing herself too far because of multiple failures. Especially since she's in a situation where she was given this opportunity vs getting in through her own merit.

I wonder if some bitter umas are going to comment on this. Something along the lines of "why couldn't I have gotten in instead of her?"

I wonder if Shirogane will be able to just flat out sprint for longer which could be a real tangible benefit of her massive stamina.

Thank you for the chapter! I really am looking forward to seeing how Shiro finally figures out how to overcome her limits.

It's kind of sad that the teacher takes Shirogane winning as the time to end the race training. Sure, it's an accurate indicator that the other girls are so tired it is affecting their performance, but it also tells Shirogane the teacher knows she can't win without the competition being handicapped by exhaustion.
