This unique event is tied to one of the best Support Cards in the game, i.e., Kitasan Black (Fire at My Heels). You will need to equip this card before you start a Career run to have a chance at encountering this particular event.

Once you equip the required card, you will have a chance to activate this occasion after random training periods. Here are the choices and outcomes for this event:

Choice 1

The first choice is the more consistent of the two choices available. However, the benefits are arguably worse than the second one. The rewards from picking the first choice are:

10 Energy recovered
+5 Friendship with Kitasan Black
Mood Up

Choice 2

Meanwhile, the second choice has two outcomes, which cannot be controlled. There is a random chance of either a success or a failure. If successful, you will get:

10 Speed
3 hints for Straightaway Adept
+5 Friendship with Kitasan Black

However, in case you fail, these rewards are substantially reduced. The failure rewards are:

5 Speed
1 hint for Straightaway Adept
+5 Friendship with Kitasan Black

Which Choice To Select For Paying It Forward in Umamusume Pretty Derby?

Straightaway Adept is a fairly easy skill to activate in races, which makes getting it a worthwhile investment. However, avoid it if you cannot accumulate enough Skill Points.

On the other hand, the increased Speed stat is also worth getting. Even for a failure, you get five extra Speed. Both choices increase your friendship. So, your main deciding factor should be Mood and Energy, weighed against Straightaway Adept and Speed. Depending on your current situation during the Career, you can make the decision.
