UmaMusume
They were born to run
They inherit the names of Horses from another world, whose histories were sometimes tragic and sometimes wonderful
And with that, they run
That is their Fate
"I'm sure you all know the tale."
"Of course we do, but that doesn't explain why you kidnap us."
"Oh? I haven't explained that part yet?"
"NO!" Came the cries from every student at Tracen Academy and trainer
"Bleh" was the only response the woman gave everyone, sticking out her tongue
1 Hour Early
Another day, Another Chance for growth!
Director Akikawa smiled ear to ear as she watched her beloved students all train to their hearts' content
Ah~ How they love to run
"Tazuna! Do you know why I work hard? It's all for the glory of helping my beloved Students reach their peak!" Declared Akikawa as she opens her fan with the words "Peak!" on it. Her close and dearest friend agrees, letting out a "nya" as they continue to sleep on her hat
"Of course, director, but let's not forget who actually does the paperwork," countered Tazuna with a smile
"hehe, how could I forget, without you, I don't think Tracen would be what it is today~" hands on hips as she praised Tazuna
Tazuna, who was already used to her praise, only cupped her face, playing along, "You flatter me, director, I only want to see them at their best."
"nya~"
"I couldn't agree more."
!
Both Akikawa and Tazuna turn their head to the mysterious voice
A figure slightly taller than Tazuna, clothed in a black cloak, stood looking outside the window. They couldn't see the person's face, but they could make out white hair slipping out and a...horn?
"E-Excuse me, but who are you?" asked Akikawa with a slight terror in her voice
"Names matter little...well, not right now"
"If you're not here to cooperate, I am going to have to ask you to leave," came Tazuna. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Tazuna had been an assistant to Akikawa for years and dealt with a lot of different Uma over the years. Yet she snuck up on them, slipped right under her nose
"Do not feel bad, Tazuna, after all, an Uma nose can only smell so much."
?!
How did she know?! Was the shared thought running through their heads
The woman lifted her hand and
snap
With a snap of her fingers, they were gone
"Now time for the rest of the party to enter," The woman said, looking at Uma with a smirk
"I wonder how they will react to their true family~, Aren't you? Reader~
