Fuji Kiseki's POV For more chapters visıt 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
After the Derby, Team Polaris is heading back to the academy. Naturally, Hachiman Trainer-san is with us… but the stares from passersby are getting to me. It's probably because of what I said about him in the interview. Why else would people be whispering ?
Maurice: "It's… kinda uncomfortable."
CB: "Can't be helped. That was a Derby interview—pretty much all of Japan was watching. But I don't think you were wrong at all."
Arrow: "Same here. I can't stand Trainer getting badmouthed."
Hachiman: "If you were gonna say that, a heads-up would've been nice. You gave me a heart attack."
Fuji: "I couldn't hold back… I joined partway, but Air Groove saw it all from the start, right? She told me about the letters. I couldn't just ignore it."
Air Groove: "Fuji's right. When this has been going on for years, ignoring it is the weird choice."
Rice: "Y-Yeah… I hate it when Onii-sama's insulted. He's an amazing trainer."
Maurice: "Rice-san's right! And Trainer-san's my…!?"
CB: "? Something wrong?"
Maurice: "…I think someone just took a picture. I heard a click."
Hachiman: "Where'd it come from?"
Maurice: "Um… from the right."
Hachiman: "…Don't move. No looking around either—they'll catch on."
Air Groove: "…Seriously?"
Whoa, Hachiman Trainer-san's fast!!
Hachiman: "Hey, you. What were you planning with photos of my team? Spill it."
Hachiman: "You think I'd just say 'sure' and let you off? Answer me—what's the deal with the photos?"
Hachiman: "…Wait, you're that guy from my year, aren't you? Got your trainer license revoked and fired from Tresen years ago?"
"Don't bring that up!!"
Wait, this guy's a former trainer?
Hachiman: "…Air Groove, check his phone. I saw him typing something."
Air Groove: "…Got it."
"Hey!! Who do you think you are, messing with my phone!? Give it back!!"
Hachiman: "Sorry, you're staying put."
Air Groove checked the phone as instructed. She found our photos, but the real shock came next.
From his phone, Air Groove uncovered a site where he was editing defamatory articles about Hachiman Trainer-san. This guy… he's the one behind the hate campaign.
Air Groove: "A personal site, huh? You've got some nerve. Looks like getting fired wasn't enough for you."
"Quit messing around!! It's all your fault my life's a wreck!! I'm suffering, and what're you doing!? Undefeated Triple Tiara? Autumn senior Triple Crown? Why're you the only one shining!!"
Hachiman: "That stings. I'm not the only one shining—plenty of others are too. What about them?"
"It's YOUR fault!! Because of YOU!!" click!
Panic erupted around us. We were shaken too, but Hachiman Trainer-san stood protectively in front of us, helping us stay somewhat calm.
"You… I'll never forgive YOU!!"
Hachiman: "…Put that away. Swing it, and you're done."
"Shut up!! Don't tell me what to do!!"
Hachiman: "…You guys, get back. It's too dangerous. Someone, anyone, call the academy. Get the police too."
Air Groove: "Understood! Fuji, Bakushin-O, look after Maurice and Rice."
Bakushin-O: "Leave it to me!"
"What're you—'I'm not letting you go!'—Hikigaya!!"
Hachiman: "I'm your target, right? Keep your eyes on me."
While Hachiman Trainer-san kept him at bay, we escaped. But I'm so worried… Hachiman Trainer-san…
Hachiman: (Damn, he's got a knife. Even with jujitsu, it's tough to handle if he charges like that. Gotta stall till the police show.)
Hachiman: "Till I'm safe."
"Don't screw with me!!"
Hachiman Trainer-san's dodging… Where are the police!? If this keeps up, he'll get stabbed!!
The Derby's aftermath turns dark in this Yahari x Uma Musume chapter! Fuji's interview sparks whispers, but a vengeful ex-trainer with a knife escalates things. Team Polaris flees as Hachiman faces danger.
Note: He's the rookie from the prologue who tried to hit Rudolf, got his license revoked, and was fired. He's the mastermind behind Hachiman's smear campaign, fueled by deep resentment.
