Cypress Tears, the horse girl who had Bud Green hair and Carrot orange eyes. She was walking at the Haven Fever's Garden.

She was pondering in her own thought, {Hmm... Races around Europe currently is skyrocketing. Even newer generation horse girls are coming soon.}

Then Cypress looked at the tree beside her and continued her thought, {Does that mean I will retire soon?}

Then another horse girl came from the entrance of the garden. Which her name was Whyred Sky. She was a lot younger than Cypress Tears.

Whyred Sky had a Copper Rose hair, with a single line in her bang was white. Her eyes were colored Duke Blue.

She looked at Cypress who was looking at the tree beside her. She walked to her and said, "Cypress, I have been looking for you."

Cypress turned her head, and gaze towards Whyred. She then said, "Is there anything the problem, Whyred?"

Whyred coughed and then replied, "Well... The manager called you."

Cypress expressed confusion, and thought, {Why is the manager called me?}

---

The Manager was in the third floor of the building Haven Fever. He was an experienced old man with a white beard and silver hair. He was in his 50's

The manager heard a knock came from the door. He then said, "You can come in."

The door was opened in the doorway. It revealed Cypress entered his Office.

Cypress gently closed the door of the Manager's office. Then she sat on the chair, which the cushions was very soft.

She looked at the Manager and said, "Mr. Bowry. Is there something wrong you called me?"

The manager, Mr. Bowry, he looked at Cypress and replied, "Yes, sorry if I did disturbed your time."

Cypress shook her head and said this softly, "No worries, I had nothing in my schedule."

Then Mr. Bowry placed a paper on his desk, and push it toward Cypress. She rotated the paper, and read it.

Cypress read it twice, to made sure she didn't read it wrong. She then said, "Our old trainer as fired? Why?"

Mr. Bowry with his hand fold each other on the desk. He replied, "He requested it. I was also shocked about a sudden resignation letter from him."

Cypress then looked at Mr. Bowry in the eyes, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Mr Bowry smiled, and said, "I want you to scout a Trainer for yourself."

Cypress was in disbelief when Mr. Bowry said that. She then replied, "But, that decision does not..."

Mr Bowry cut her sentence off and said, "Not for you to decide. Yes, I know that. But I'm going give a bit of freedom for you to choose it yourself."

Cypress walked out from his office with a sound of the door clicked shut as she held the paper in her hand.

She did not knew anything about selecting a trainer for herself. Sure, she can just test them all to find which one compatible with her.

But she had a problem. Will Whyred accept the new trainer that she chose? She can just only sighed and not predict what comes after next.

Cypress went the team meeting room at the second floor. She looked at the desk where her previous trainer sat. She searched through the cabinets of the desk, to only find a picture of her, Whyred Sky, and her old trainer.

The picture was her first win in France. Which she still clearly remembered it as a special memory.

After Cypress checked the room thoroughly, she can only find the single picture of that. Now, she would keep it in her album. She can only wished good luck to her old trainer.

Meanwhile somewhere in driver training area, in the second floor. There was the two drivers in Haven Fever.

Jouhem ves Vero and Daniel Grapress. They were in the simulation room training for the next race DTM in Nurburgring.

Jouhem saw he was in the 1st place in the simulation time attack. Which was already a very good result. While Daniel, he was at 2nd place. The gap between Jouhem and Daniel was about 3 seconds.

Once the simulation was over. There was their instructor waiting outside the simulation room. He was at his 60’s, the oldest member in Haven Fever.

That instructor name was Martin Chute Du Ciel. Martin was looking at the computer monitor, which was their full result of Jouhem and Daniel practice sessions.

Martin smiled at both drivers and said, “You did a good job. Results are great.”

Then his gaze focused on Daniel, which he said, “You still had a lot more work to do on your timing. I saw the mistake at corner 43, Daniel.”

Daniel bowed and replied, “Sorry, about that instructor. I will try to reduce my mistake in the future.”

Jouhem who was beside Daniel, he nudge his shoulder and said, “But you still did good. I will give more tips and tricks later.”

Daniel then gaze at Jouhem’s blue eyes, and said, “Thank you.”

Martin then coughed and said, “You boys should eat first, you need more energy later for live practice session.”

Jouhem and Daniel looked at Martin left walked away with his right hand shook side to side, which meant saying goodbye.

Then both of them followed suit to the food hall of Haven Fever. In the food hall, Jouhem and Daniel get their own perspective meals. Then they both sat on a chair in a table.

Despite few months of Daniel being here in Haven Fever. His performance was already outstanding.

He already raced few rookie races through out Europe, even into United Kingdom. Daniel had few target in mind. He wanted to at least win a race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Haven Fever’s custom prototype car.

Jouhem saw Daniel was in slight daydream. He then said, “Is there something in your mind?”

Daniel who finished chewing his food, and swallowed it. He then replied, “Nothing, just remembering the target and the dream.”

Jouhem nodded at Daniel’s answer. They both continued eating until their plate were empty. They placed the plate into a dirty tray, and then left the food hall.

In the Haven Fever garden. They both walked around it, and saw the scenery of the tree, bushes, and flowers blooming.

Then Daniel touching one of the bush’s leaf, he said, “Just how much money they spent just to take care of this large garden?”

Jouhem looked at the tree, which had flowers blooming near the leaf. He replied, “Maybe about hundreds of Euros? I can’t tell.”

They both continued their stroll at the garden. Until Jouhem then said, “Hey, Daniel, I want to talk something with you.”

Daniel turned around and looked at him. He then said, “What is it?”

Jouhen went near to Daniel's ears. Then words came from Jouhem’s mouth made Daniel’s eye widened in shock.

Far from Berlin that was in Germany. There was the biggest university in the entirety of Europe. It was one of the places that gave birth to many Horse Girls and athletes. This University was called Grand Verse University.

It had more complete training facility for athletes and horse girls, it was even bigger than Haven Fever. It had over 50,000 university students which they attend at different time of hour. It also had a nickname of ‘University that never sleeps’.

On the field in the running track, there was a one horse girl that had Burnt Amber hair, horse tail, horse ears, and Cadmium Orange eyes. She was focusing on the track. She was a super light type Horse Girl, and her name was Royal Legacy.

She kept running on the track with her Orange hair followed the air stream in front of her. Royal then looked at her Trainer who waved his hand, and shouted, “That should be enough Royal!”

Royal stopped running and then walked over the guardrail. Royal looked at the time note taken from her trainer. Her times were improving in average. But when she read it carefully, she just internally sighed and thought, {Improved by average, but not consistency.}

Her trainer just smiled at her and said, “You did great. You just need a bit more consistency on your running later.”

Royal grabbed her water bottle. She opened the cap and drank the water to sooth her thirsty mouth and throat.

Then her trainer gave Royal a towel. Royal then replied, “Thanks, Trainer Jim.”

Jim then gave his final look and said, “Just be careful on your way back home after this.”

Sometime later, Royal already changed her clothes from her gym clothes. She hung her blue bag at her shoulder with the shoulder strap. She was walking calmly in the hallway.

There were still many students in the faculty. Some join in the computer science, some join in physics. It had all the major degrees that anyone can think off.

Royal even saw some students still doing projects in this time of the day. That time of that day was afternoon.

She went into one of the room, where she left another bag, but this time was a backpack. Royal opened her backpack and grab some freshener can to reduce her body smell.

When that is done, she than grabbed her backpack and wore it. Royal then left the room, and heading out of the Campus.

When she walked in the road, she saw many people were going home from work. There were some government vehicle passed by the road.

Royal looked at the nearby street vendors. She wanted some sweet to give herself some energy. She did found one Ice cream vendor nearby. It was selling french style Ice ream.

She looked at it was selling on the menu, which were three basic flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry.

Royal chose the Vanilla flavor. She paid the Ice cream for 5 euros. She then walked away from the vendor and licked the ice cream. She then murmured, “Hmm, this isn’t bad at all.”

She felt the ice cream in her tongue was creamy, thick, and sweet. Currently for Royal, she was heading home.

Her home was at an apartment building, which it had around ten stories high.

When Royal arrived at the hotel, she entered the lobby. She went to the front desk first to get her apartment key.

Then she went to lift and went for ride to the fifth floor. She then exited the cabin of the lift and walked down the hallway.

Royal looked at the doorway, which it door had different numbers. Her room number was 523. She opened the electronic door handle with card key in her hand.

She then entered the hotel room, and closed the door. Royal and went sat on the comfy single sofa, and muttered, “I’m so tired.”

She then looked at her phone, which she had in contact with her family back at home in England. She then put her forearm to cover both her eyes, and muttered, “Just how long before I get to an actual racing team.”
