Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 584 Accident
Japanese archery.

It originated from the "Shooting" of the six arts of gentlemen during the Zhou Dynasty in ancient China, and it was a skill that every nobleman in the Zhou Dynasty needed to master.

After it was introduced to Japan later, it gradually evolved into the later traditional archery, and a complete set of standards and theories were developed based on this—commonly known as "Eight Sections of Archery".

Widely circulated in the country.

Set foot, hold body, draw bow, raise bow, draw bow, aim, shoot arrow, pay attention.

There are a total of eight movements, and each movement has detailed requirements and explanations, which is very easy for beginners to understand and get started.

As long as these details can be done well, then you can definitely hit the target, that is, you must hit the target!

To sum up, this is actually a sport that is more ornamental than practical.

Compared with hitting the target or not, people tend to pay more attention to a person's shooting style and state, and hitting the target is just a result.

of course.

Since it is a competition, there must be a competition.

So the hit rate has become the criterion for judging.

in team competitions.

The two teams have a total of ten players.

A group of players each have 4 arrows, a total of 20 arrows.

The side with the highest number of hits advances.

If the number of targets hit by the two teams is the same, each will shoot another arrow as a decisive victory.

on specific standards.

The contestants have to shoot a target with a diameter of 28 centimeters at a distance of 36 meters.

With three consecutive days of competition, there is still the final battle for the king in this selection meeting, which will be held in 10 minutes.

in the audience.

While recalling the specific rules of the game, Sayu put her hands to her mouth and took a deep breath, rubbing them lightly.

From Hokkaido to Tokyo.

She didn't tell anyone, she came here by plane alone.

The cause of the matter has to be told from a week ago.

From Aizawa Youichi, she learned something about that person.

……

"Anyway, my knowledge of Kato-kun is relatively limited. As you know, I met him at the end of summer, at the National Higher Athletics Conference."

"Having said that, I only interviewed his teachers and some of his schoolmates, and he doesn't seem to like being in the media."

"If you want to talk about your specific impression...he had black hair at the time, was tall, and looked very clean and fresh, and he seemed to be quite low-key."

"You may not believe it, but Kato-kun was not noticed before the game, and it was another player who was sought after by everyone.

As a result, Kato-kun ran an astonishing quasi-professional level behind him, which must have been the beginning of his fame. "

"What happened afterwards was similar to what was circulated on the Internet. He didn't develop on the path of track and field, and I haven't heard about him for a long time..."

"What people didn't expect was that he would later become a cartoonist and even be interviewed by a TV station! Such an achievement at such a young age is really amazing."

"Of course, you are not bad, Ogiwara-san. I also heard about the heroic deeds of you who sacrificed your life to save others. You are so brave!"

"Speaking back to Kato-kun, the changes in him later on are really great from what I saw at the beginning.

Not only has the color of his hair changed, but he has also become a popular figure, which pleases girls very much.That's why you came to me, right? "

"Huh? You asked me what's the matter with his hair color? Sorry, I don't know much about it, but it shouldn't be sick or something, maybe he dyed it himself?"

"Basically, that's about all I know. As a bonus, I can tell you one more piece of news."

"I heard that Kato-kun seems to be participating in this year's archery tournament, which will be on December 12th.

Not many people know about this matter at present, if you are interested, you can pay attention to that information. "

……

that's it.

To learn more about that person.

With an indescribable timidity and apprehension, Sayu came to the scene of the Kyudo Conference.

Running away from home for the first time in my life.

First time in Tokyo.

The strange environment brought her not only nervousness, but also an indescribable subtle feeling.

She felt that she must be crazy, otherwise, how could she make such a crazy move, trying to prove that her delusion was real.

but.

When she actually saw him, those worries and worries all turned into firmness.

"Iwanami-san..."

The girl chanted softly, wisps of white air escaped from her lips.

Just like the promise I made to myself that day.

No matter what, she must find him...

While thinking about this, the discussions of the students in the front row suddenly reached her ears.

"Ah, the last match of the team competition is against Kato Yusuke from the private Toyosaki, are there any problems with the seniors?"

"After all, he's been hitting all shots since the start of the qualifiers..."

"Isn't that guy number one in the individual competition?"

"No way..."

"It's amazing, he's only in the first grade."

"I can't stand it. What about the first grade? He just became a monk halfway to play bow?"

"The hit rate is 100%...Damn it, do you want to fight against that kind of monster?"

"And he didn't even move the bow back! Could it be that the shaking of the bow didn't affect him? I even broke the calluses on my hands back then."

"Seriously, isn't this person exaggerating too much? A track and field champion, a cartoonist...to be so good at archery, it's simply cheating!"

As he spoke, his voice became louder.

Sayu looked up.

Several boys and girls wearing the same sportswear were talking there, with mournful expressions on their faces.

After watching for three days in a row, she recognized that those people were students from another strong school in this Kyudo Conference, and it was also the school that was going to compete with the private Toyosaki Academy for the first place.

'It seems to be called Tongxian High School, right? '

She thought with some uncertainty, a soft smile bloomed on her cute little face.

Although she felt a little sorry, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

The more in-depth investigation, the more you can know how good that person is.

Sayu doesn't know kyudo, and she has never been exposed to this sport before, but this does not prevent her from understanding the situation.

after all--

It is not easy for everyone to be the champion among more than 43 players selected from all over the country in 200 counties across the country.

Frankly, that guy was good enough to make anyone feel ashamed.

'No wonder so many people look forward to him...'

While she was thinking about it, the loudspeakers installed in the venue also made a sound.

"Next is the men's team competition, the second round of the final."

"The first shooting range, Toyosaki Private School."

"Number one, Kato player."

"..." x4
"The second shooting range, Tongxian High School."

"..." x5
The players came out from behind one by one.

Sayu's attention was immediately attracted by one of the figures.

Like a protagonist who came out of a comic.

The boy with short white hair appeared in people's field of vision and instantly became the focus of the audience.

His complexion was fair, his facial features were perfect, his dark eyes contained a bit of unconscious carelessness, and his body exuded a calm and ethereal temperament.

The boy knelt quietly on the floor, adjusting the bow in an orderly manner.

The crumbled sunset hangs down from the sky, falls through the cracks in the beams, dots on his hands, and lays docilely at his feet.

The air seemed quiet.

No matter who it is, there is an indescribable feeling when looking at that figure.

It was an incomparably unique temperament, extraordinary and detached, almost distorted.

Reminiscent of a misty fresh mountain mist, elegant and timeless.

"Gudu..."

The sound of swallowing saliva sounded from all around.

"Good, so handsome..."

The girls couldn't help murmuring, and looked at the boy on the shooting range with burning eyes, even those girls from Tongxian High School were not immune.

"..."

Sayu calmed down, turned a deaf ear to the commotion around her, focused on observation, and let out a soft breath after a while.

At least on the surface, the recent network turmoil did not seem to have much impact on the other party.

Seeing the boy's calm appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but couldn't help getting annoyed in the next second.

After all, she came here, but how should she contact that person afterwards?

What's more, if the other party doesn't want to see her...

slap~

As if to break her thousands of melancholy, the melodious string sound came from the field.With an aura without confusion, it easily shot into her heart.

Pa-dong-!
The bow and arrow hit the target.

Sayu's body couldn't help but trembled slightly, only feeling that the cloud covering her heart seemed to be swept away in an instant.

"""""Good~~~!"""""

The girls yelled loudly, their voices echoing in their ears.

Some people are still holding a self-made support round fan. The word "Xiaoyou" is embroidered with pink thread on the black fan, and there is a pattern of love arrows next to it.

【Private Toyosaki Academy:】

【Tongxian High School:】

The number one players on both sides successfully hit the target.

Sayu immediately adjusted her mood and began to watch the game seriously.

One, two, three, four, five...ten.

From position one to position five, the five players from both sides quickly shot the first arrow.

The scoreboard shows the results of both sides.

【Private Toyosaki Academy:】

【Tongxian High School:】

Some viewers couldn't help saying: "Ten people hit all shots! It's amazing!"

The crowd next to him also nodded in agreement with "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm".

At the same moment, Kato Yusuke also began to prepare to shoot the second arrow.

Without being influenced by anyone, the young man slowly opened his bow and set his arrows.

He stood sideways in front of the track, his eyes calmly looked straight ahead, his face was full of ease and calmness, exuding a strong sense of presence that could not be ignored.

I saw him bow his body forward with his left arm, and pull the string back with his right hand.Even when the arm is full, the arm does not shake at all, and the stability is extremely strong!
The tall and bow set off his tall and straight figure, which complements him perfectly.

It's neither too early nor too late, the timing is just right.

——The young man shoots out an arrow.

slap~

The bowstring vibrates the air, bringing a refreshing wind, and flicking the ends of his hair, like silver threads dancing lightly.

swoosh~
The bow and arrow flew forward under the impetus of huge kinetic energy.

It's like drawing a straight line with a pen, without any extra movement, shooting straight at the distant target, making a crisp sound of "Pa Dong!"

"—It's the bull's-eye again!"

Some people couldn't help but exclaimed, their faces were full of shock.

Slowly, Tongxian's "big front" player also hit the target.It's just a shot, not a bull's-eye.

Kato Yusuke didn't respond to this, and just knelt down on the floor, even if Tongxian's people turned a blind eye to the fearful eyes they cast on him.

They failed to maintain a full shot. Both sides had a player miss the target this time, and they were both in the second position. I don't know if they were influenced by someone.

As the second round comes to an end, then comes the third arrow.

Under the gaze of everyone, the young man stood up unhurriedly.

There is no first time to open the bow.

Kato Yusuke first looked back at Miyazaki who was behind, with a faint thought in his eyes, and then turned back to the right direction.

For some reason, Miyazaki in the second position has a faint feeling that the other party seems to be encouraging him, but it is somewhat specious.

Before he could think about it, the other party had already acted.

creak~

The bowstring groaned faintly.

Like a reenactment after achieving a perfect movement, the young man opened his bow and arrow naturally.The whole movement is smooth and pleasing to the eye, extremely elegant.

slap~

The melodious string sounds overlapped with the sound of flying bows and arrows, piercing the air and shooting into people's hearts sharply.

bang!

Three times in a row, the bow and arrow hit the bullseye.

A look of astonishment appeared on Miyazaki's face, he was so startled by this hand that his eyes almost fell down.

Not just him.

Including other teammates and opponents were also shocked.

However, compared to the people in Tongxian High School who were shaking their hearts, the private Toyosaki side felt more excited.

Different from individual competitions where individual soldiers fight, team competitions often affect the whole body.

A person's momentum and state will not only affect his own performance, but also affect other people.

Under the ebb and flow, Tongxian High School missed two consecutive targets in this round, while private Toyosaki only missed one.

It's just that someone's behavior was too weird, which immediately increased the pressure on Tongxian's contestants, and a cloud hung over their heads.

in the audience.

Shocked by the superb archery skills, people couldn't help but get excited, and the atmosphere was so hot that it seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

"Wow! Isn't this too accurate?!"

"It's so handsome, it makes my blood boil!"

"Kato-kun's shooting style is great!"

"What is that? The posture of drawing the bow is too good, isn't it? And it's full of aura!"

"President Xiaoyou is amazing at everything~!"

"..."

Listening to the admiration sounded from all around, Sayu's face was also filled with excitement and joy.

Even a person who doesn't know how to bow can still see the result from the target where all three arrows hit the bull's-eye. It can be said that the visual effect is full.

The young man at this moment is like a general on the battlefield.

He pointed out a direction with the bow and arrow in his hand, and the 4 people behind followed him with momentum like a rainbow!

It was in such a situation that the players ushered in the fourth round.

The current score is 13 for 12.

If Tongxian's players can't overtake in this round, or if the private Toyosaki players don't make mistakes, then the ending will no longer be changed.

Like feeling the tension of the situation.

The surrounding wind suddenly became stronger, and the snowflakes in the air were blown one after another, making a faint rustling sound.

The place was quiet.

Everyone was watching the shooting range, staring straight at the slender figure, looking forward to his last arrow.

Kato Yusuke stood up calmly, ready to play the final sound for the game.

His expression was very calm.

The handsome face was like a lake without ripples, as if nothing could arouse his emotions, he stepped on his bow so calmly.

The audience unconsciously held their breath and tensed their nerves.

"President Kato...!"

"Kato-kun...!"

"Xiaoyou..."

The girls murmured and clasped their hands in front of their chests, closing their eyes tightly as if praying.

Sayu looked at the boy on the shooting range, and was also infected by the atmosphere, only felt that there seemed to be a certain voice in his heart that wanted to say something quickly.

In order to restrain this impulse.

She first lowered her head and took a deep breath, letting the cold air flow into the depths of her nasal cavity, and then slowly raised her head.

After two or three seconds.

"Come on, Iwanami-san...!"

After all, she couldn't hold back, and shouted in a moderate voice.

As soon as he finished shouting, he immediately lowered his head in a guilty conscience, not daring to look at the reactions around him.

after all.

According to the rules heard from other people these days.

The solidarity outside the shooting range seems to be limited to "good" and applause. It is strictly forbidden to give any archery instructions, and you can only communicate with your companions in a low voice.

'Did I just count it as a violation...? '

While thinking this way, Sayu timidly took a peek at the shooting range.

- Boom.

The stiff breaking sound suddenly resounded, reaching everyone's ears clearly and stiffly.

People couldn't help being startled.

Look around.

On the distant archery target, next to the archery target belonging to the No. [-] position of the first shooting range, a bow and arrow was inserted into the ground alone.

——very glaring.

In contrast, there are four bows and arrows stuck firmly on the archery target belonging to the No. [-] position of the second shooting range.

"Liar, Xiaoyou actually missed the target..."

A girl covered her mouth and said, her voice was full of disbelief.

Awakened by this sentence, people "swish" and looked back.

The young man was staring down at the Japanese bow in his hand, and the two broken bowstrings were hanging weakly from both ends, like weeping willows fluttering in the residual wind.

The bangs on his forehead covered his eyes, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

The scene was suddenly silent.
