On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

Reader mode
Hurray for Shinko Windy representation. I love the dumb, bitey horse.

Mad respect for putting effort into making the timeline work, I've been working on an uma story a bit and gave up and decided I would just shoot any reader that brought up the timeline.

Also does anyone else feel like Stay Gold and Spica Trainer have some similar vibes?

Yes they both have "dad who went to go get the milk years ago" energy.

Shirogane adjusted her gauntlet again, tightening the strap, before turning around to look at her teammate and exasperated trainer directly, smiling a challenge of her own.

"Were it so easy."

"Bleh!" Grass Wonder said as she collapsed, the blood having drained from her face made it look like she had seen death herself.

"Oh, right," Shirogane remembered, "No smiling."
 
WrandmWaffles said:
Her grandfather had shown her some pictures of the grand aunt she apparently so resembled, and Shirogane had to admit there was some family resemblance, even when judging from grainy black and white photographs. She was lucky to have been born during peacetime.

Still, if she was going to wear this uniform, she needed to perform well enough not to shame it.

Shirogane is feeling more motivated. Lets see if Grass Wonder endures the pressure
 
Wooo new chapter!
Thank you for the new chapter!

It's fun to see the change brought by Shirogane around her friends.

Finally, Shirogane wearing her race outfit. And next chapter is the race, right? Looking forward to that.
 
I hope Shirogane "lock the fuck in" in some race with a big prize for someone in her family or something like that, so everyone sees how aggressive she can be when something important to her is in danger.

I love that Wonder Grass has a rivalry with her, but Shirogane doesn't even realize they're trying to be intimidating.

Thank you for the chapter

Shirogane locking in to beat someone specifically would be a nightmarish scene for that individual. It'd also get her some fans that want to see Shirogane go absolutely insane. If you want to see her more calm friendly smiles it'd probably be with her chilling out with Suzuka and Haru.

"Did I make you proud, Ojii-san?" And would it be enough to live up to the Mejiro name?

Dober-san 😭😭😭
This hit me right in the heart.

It remeinds me of something Shiro said. It was that racer families pressure their young umas to race if they don't pick it up themselves. Even if its voluntary its still a pressure they get while they grow up. The expectation on it.

Aside from the two who had yet to debut, their class has been fairly successful so far. While she had a much lower win rate, suffice to say Shirogane was going to have to pay a significant amount in taxes this year.

Ouch. Seeing those numbers would be pretty terrible if one were to run money.

"You will also have to practice putting them on," Sensei added, shaking her head a bit. "And some of you really decided on something complicated." Her gaze flicked over to Shirogane, who just shrugged in reply.

"Woo! We get to dress up for school!"

"We do that every day, El-chan."

I think Sensei & co was more surprised that Shirogane had an authentic uniform than they were complicated as in complex.

Rofl. Both Umas are a riot with their tomfoolery.

I liked that Grass understood that there's more to the reason why Shiro began running before her. Realizing why and what she must train more in. Nice!

I'm more worried about the rest of the racers. Grass is atleast used to Shirogane's unlimited stamina.

Now, if Shirogane is running Front Runner and Grass Wonder is going Late Surger, they are setting up a devastating one-two punch for all those unprepared Umas. First the break their stamina trying to keep up with Shirogane's early race pace, then Grass Wonder breaks their spirits as she spirits past them having saved her stamina rather than playing Shirogane's game.

That's a good point. They might end up as some sort of an "Eclipse Duo". If they are both in a race, then no one else is. Their track now, gg.

I feel like the only times where she would lock in would be when thunderstorms come in. Cause she's always irrational when it comes to the Weather.

Hopefully Shiro will also get as much as credit she deserves while she's the one that's setting up Grass for success. That people won't only look at Grass who will win all those races.
 
I'm not sure I read that description of Shirogane's outfit correctly. Does she really have the armor plates in the outfit too? I mean, the intimidation factor is off the charts when she locks in and removes them at some point (preferably where the competition can see), like wearing weights in Dragonball, but it still feels like handicap she wouldn't offer to the others.

You have it backwards. She's going to remove her limiters by putting more weight on. Everyone knows she's serious when she puts on a 70kg backpack in the gate.

Can you imagine the hype race-highlights videos if they capture Shirogane's menacing doom aura of bloodlust and death (she's just focused and listening to racers behind her) while in that uniform?

Especially if the wind running through her cavalry hat makes an Iconic cavalry charge whistle/screech sound. Like an Eagle Cry? Uma-Poland would totally do it, right? Simultaneously hypes up the charging Umas and is downright terrifying for anyone who perceives themselves as on the receiving end.

Like imagine little Shiro-chan with deathly focus (she's mildly engaged) being SUCH an intimidating front runner that even Late Surgers flinch and balk at trying to overtake her. They catch her glare and aggressive blocking and gasp or lose their breathing rhythm, to say nothing of her Menacing Red Skill Eyes activating mega morale debuffs

[Shirogane's Ultimate: This Turf Is My Battlefield]

SCENE: A pre-WWI battlefield. At the head of a cavalry unit, in her full regalia, stands Shirogane Orzel.

SHIROGANE (VOICE-OVER): Come on, you cowards! Do you want to live forever?! CHARGE!

[She bolts forward, murder in her eyes.]

(Velocity increased, nearby opponents make a Wit check against being forcibly Rushed.)

Shiro's OPness, as it were, is in her ability to not get injured and run as many races as she wants, more or less. She's definitely not going to be winning every race, or even the vast majority of them, based on the entirety of the story so far
