I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 230 229: Fuji Kiseki Arc - Inheritance?

Fuji's POV

After winning the Kobe Shimbun Hai and securing a priority entry for the Chrysanthemum Sho, I'm back at Tracen Academy. Sundays are usually off, but I had the race, so here we are. Classes are done, and now it's after school, but the team's gathering—without Hachiman-san, just us mbers.

Fuji: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Air Groove: "You're here. Everyone's present. Let's start."

CB: "No way I'd miss this~ But, Air Groove, why're we talking about Hachiman now? What's the topic?"

Air Groove: "You all know we visited Hachiman's ancestor, Kurifuji-dono's grave. Agreed?"

Rice: "Yeah. I was shocked Onii-sama's the grandson of soone so amazing…"

Maurice: "I looked her up too. She was incredible."

Air Groove: "Exactly. I felt her greatness anew. Hachiman's a regular human guy, but he's got legendary Uma Musu blood. Doesn't that make you wonder about his physical abilities?"

Ardan: "But it's not rare for n to have Uma Musu lineage. Would it make much difference?"

Air Groove: "That's the catch. Plus, he's a generation removed. Still, there's atavism—traits skipping generations. With such a remarkable Uma Musu's blood, doesn't he have so enhanced ability?"

Fuji: "Hmm… Now I'm curious. Oh, rember when Hachiman-san caught that ex-trainer after the Derby? That burst of speed—I still rember it."

Bakushin-O: "I saw it too! It was as fast as our gate starts!"

CB: "Really? That happened?"

Maurice: "But that alone doesn't prove Uma Musu-level ability."

Air Groove: "True. Anything else?"

Hard to say… That's all I know, and I've never seen Hachiman-san exercise.

Ardan: "Oh! I just rembered…"

Fuji: "What's up?"

Ardan: "It was when Anii-sama was running at the jiro family gym."

Flashback: jiro Family Gym

Ardan: "Anii-sama, exercising?"

Hachiman: "Yeah. Gotta move or I'll get rusty. Plus, running helps brainstorm your training nus. It's kinda a hobby."

Ardan: "That's wonderful. Thank you."

Anii-sama was taking a break, sipping water, but when he resud running, his footsteps were fast for a human. I ran beside him and checked the speed—32 km/h, just casually. That's close to our warm-up pace, and he kept it up for about 20 minutes with a normal expression.

Flashback End

Ardan: "I thought it was fast, but knowing he has Uma Musu blood, that speed and stamina make sense."

Maurice: "…That's pretty convincing."

Air Groove: "Valuable info. Anything else?"

Bakushin-O: "Why are we discussing this behind Trainer-san's back? Couldn't we just ask him?"

Maurice: "But what if it's a sensitive topic?"

Bakushin-O: "He doesn't seem like he'd mind. Would he shy away from sothing inherited from his grandmother?"

CB: "…Fair point."

Rice: "Yeah, Onii-sama wouldn't think that way."

Air Groove: "Then, Bakushin-O, a mission: ask Hachiman if he has any Uma Musu traits."

Bakushin-O: "Leave it to , Sakura Bakushin-O! I'll get it done!!"

…Will she be okay?

Door opens

Hachiman: "Bakushin-O, I could hear you outside. What're you all talking about?"

CB/Air/Fuji/Ardan/Rice/Maurice: "Hachiman(-san)(Onii-sama)(Anii-sama)(Trainer-san)!!"

Arrow: "Eavesdropping?"

Hachiman: "Just got here. I don't snoop."

Bakushin-O: "Perfect timing! Trainer-san, a question—okay?"

Hachiman: "Sure."

Bakushin-O: "Have you inherited any Uma Musu powers?"

She really went straight for it…

Hachiman: "…I'm aware of sothing. Felt different from other guys sotis. If it's about inheritance, probably, yeah."

Bakushin-O: "Then let's race—"Not happening. I can't keep up with you at full speed." Aww, too bad…"

Rice: "But Onii-sama can keep up with our warm-up pace, right?"

Hachiman: "…That speed, maybe."

CB: "So we can run together—"Nope. Then I'd be too wrecked to coach. I'd go from Hikki to Grokky." Aww, c'mon~."

So when I nearly collapsed at the Derby, he rushed to that fast? That's… kinda nice///

Afterword
