"Trainer… Please… Please…"
"I'm sorry, McQueen. But you can't satisfy anymore. I was grasping onto a fleeting hope that you had left to wither. Goodbye, my failed trainee."
*RIIIIP*
In front of the light purple-haired Uma, the red-haired young man ripped their contract paper. The symbol and foundation of their vow. And with it gone, so is their relationship.
"Throw her away. The jiro Family doesn't need failures."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"I… I… I… I… I didn't do anything wrong… Please… Please… One more chance… Just give one more chance."
"We have given you enough, and you failed every one of them."
"Go away, failure. We're ashad to even call you our sister."
"You're just lucky to et trainer Igo Heita first. It's not so fateful eting or anything like that."
"Don't worry. Trainer Igo has us now. He never needed you."
McQueen was lifted by the Uma guards away. She was laughed at the entire way by her sisters, grandmother, and ex-trainer.
*Thud*
The light purple-haired umamusu was thrown out of the door, and she landed her butt squarely on a wooden floor.
"Sniffle… Sniffle… Guuuh… Sniffle…"
The cry of a young umamusue echoed in the empty hall, which caught the ears of a particular tomboy umamusu. Jungle Pocket, who was cosplaying as an Amazoness.
"Oh! Crying!? Did we go too far?!?"
Pocket ran as fast as she could toward the source of the cries. She feels guilty since she is a cast mber of this haunted house. It should be funny scary, not horrifyingly scary.
"Hello!! Are you okay?! It's okay!! Nothing here is real! Tell who hurt you!!"
"Sniffle… Sniffle… Tachyon…"
"Gah!! Knew it!! That girl oversteps the line sotis. Co on. I'll guide you to the exit."
"Sniffle… Sniffle… Okay…"
So the light purple-haired umamusu was guided by the brown-haired tomboy. McQueen was so devastated that she didn't notice that the door she was thrown out of no longer exists.

"PANT!! PANT! PANT!! PANT!! PANT!! PANT!! PANT!!"
Equinox was drenched in sweat. Her body is soiled with dirt, dust, and defeat. She glanced at the ti board, and her na was dead last. Worst of all, the distance between her and the runner just in front of her was 'Distance'.
"DAMN IT!!!"
The crushing feeling of defeat was too much for Equinox's young heart. She, who had never tasted even her own sweat, was being defeated in such a manner. It wasn't easy to swallow. It was the biggest and bitterest pill she ever had. She had people taste the dirt of defeat behind her, and now, it is her turn. To feel the wrenching feeling of losing. The feeling of regret and disappointnt. The feeling of not being fast enough.
"PANT!! PANT!! PANT!! WHY?! HOW!?! PANT!! PANT!!"
She couldn't fathom the umamusus present. Their powerful kick. Their top speed. Their agility. Their strategies. Their movent. Their way of thinking. And their desire to win. Equinox had thought that she had it all, but all of it was dwarven. She was a small matchstick fire standing between stars.
Is this… Is this the level of Central?
"Pant! Pant! Pant!"
"So that's your limit, Equinox."
"!!! BIG BROTHER!!!"
Equinox quickly turned her head when she heard the familiar voice. Behind her, her beloved big brother is standing with a stopwatch and a tablet in his hands. It reminds her of when he was still her trainer.
"No… This won't do… You'll be a waste of space if I pick you up."
"No… Big… Brother… What are you saying…?"
"What am I saying? Gosh, you're dumber than I even rember. Do I need to spell it out?"
"No… No… Please…"
"You're slow."
"No! No! No!"
"Just go ho and never co back here again."
"NO! NO!! NO!!"
"You don't belong anywhere near ."
"NOOOOOO!!!!"
Equinox slamd her fists on the turf. As if to mock her even further, the umamusus she was racing against gather around him, filling every space around him to show Equinox there's nowhere for her near him.
"What about our dream, Big Brother? Our shared dream to be the best…"
"If you expect that to soften my heart, then you truly have failed, Equinox. Umamusu talks with their run, not their words. That dream died with your defeat."
"Ah… Ah… No… I… Ah…"
"Tell . Why should I choose you over anyone here, Miss Last Place?"
"Ku! Ku!! Kuh!! No reason!! No reason at all!!"
"Thank you for using your brain for once. Now, please leave. We're going to train."
"Ku! Ku!! I couldn't win!! I couldn't win against them!! I couldn't win against him."
Since the defeat condition has been t, the hallway from where Equinox ca from slowly opens. The sound of the stones scraping against each other as the gate is lifted added more insult to Equinox's already destroyed heart.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
Droplets of water consistently drop onto the turf from Equinox's face. The black-haired umamusu's face was looking down onto the turf below.
"YET!!"
*CRACK* *CRACK* *KRAKATHOOOM*
Multiple black thunders struck from where Equinox is kneeling. They zap everything around her with extre prejudice. The intensity of her fury is so overwhelming that she damaged her gums from biting down too hard, and blood trickled out from the edge of her mouth.
She slowly stood without bothering to clean herself, as she was too focused on staring down at her enemies. At the umamusus and at the traitor, that is her big brother.
"I swear!! I swear on my life that I will crush Igo Heita!!"
