In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 65

"Then, Sugita-senpai, can I play as the main force in the Kyudo Competition at the Sports Festival in June?"

"Just call me senior,"

Sohei Sugita said casually, his tone was more approachable than his temperament, "I said just now that you passed, which means I recognized your strength."

Qing Youya also came over at this time, with a smile on her face: "This strength can indeed be used as the main force, but do you want to participate in individual competitions or team competitions? His strength cannot be underestimated.”

Kaoru Uesugi pondered for a moment.

Although Kyudo is also divided into individual competitions and team competitions, the archery skill of Kyudo still tends to be more individual.

The team competition of archery is more about the rhythm coordination among the players. If the rhythm of the teammates is abnormal, it will lead to a slight disorder of the mind, and the arrows shot will also be affected to a certain extent.

Kai Uesugi knew that Sohei Sugita, the absolute main force of the archery department, had participated in the singles competition.

His past is nothing more than icing on the cake.

"Let's go for the team competition," Uesugi said to the two, "I'm not very good at controlling the rhythm of the body. I hope to learn more through the team competition."

"no problem."

Qing Youya didn't say much, and agreed to Uesugi Kai's request, "Then, let Uesugi-san take a break first, and then there will be other students' presentations."

"Ah."

Uesugi Kai nodded to the two people in front of him, walked to the bow stand behind the archery department, and hung the longbow and deerskin gloves on it.

These are all the property of the Archery Department. He doesn't have his own "bow" and "bow" yet, so he just borrowed them temporarily.

After putting back the "bow" and "gun", Kai Uesugi walked to the corner of the auditorium next to him and sat on the ground.

Qing Youya and the other two walked to the side of the dojo near the wall, waiting for the next student to show the training results of the past few days.

Kai Uesugi stared at the classmate who walked out beside him, and followed his movement of putting on the longbow and putting on the gloves.

Although the process of showing archery skills today is not very strict, the process is basically arranged in accordance with the rules of the game.

So today's students seem a little nervous.

Before Uesugi Kai, several members had already lost two arrows.

Kai Uesugi watched as the classmate drew two arrows from the quiver and walked towards the entrance.

He saw his Adam's apple moving up and down, and understood that the classmate was very nervous.

"Relax! Yuasa-san,"

Qing Youya also showed a warm smile on her face, "Just show it in a normal way, don't feel pressured by Uesugi's actions just now, before him, everyone's shooting skills are actually similar, and you have seen it."

"Understood!"

The classmate named Yuasa responded anxiously, paused for a moment, took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous mood, and slowly took the first step forward.

"Senior, senior."

Kai Uesugi, who was watching Yuasa-san's upcoming "fitness match", was interrupted by two soft calls from behind.

Kai Uesugi ignored her and continued to look at Yuasa-san, who was even clumsier than him.

"Hee hee, senior,"

Chitose Shinyi, who was sitting cross-legged, moved himself a little closer, leaned against Kai Uesugi's side, and whispered, "Senior, you were so handsome just now, and your bow uniform matches you perfectly. The atmosphere is deeply infected."

When talking, Chitose Zhenyi was smiling, her pretty face was very romantic.

"Ah."

Uesugi Kai responded casually, and he also responded to others with this very indifferent attitude in the past.

After all, it is very easy, most people will stop the next conversation because of his perfunctory and indifferent attitude.

Chitose Zhenyi didn't care, and continued to smile and whisper: "Senior, senior, why don't you like talking?"

"There's no reason, and there's no need."

"Senior, have you always been so indifferent?"

"I don't think so."

"Senior, why is your archery so good? I learned it with you. Why are my movements so loose?"

"Because you love to move too much, just be quiet."

"Then I'll be quiet, senior, can you teach me archery?"

"No."

Hearing Uesugi Kai's still indifferent voice, Chitose Mayi pouted, stopped pestering him, and went quiet.

The buzzing in his ears disappeared, and Kai Uesugi was able to continue observing Yuasa-san's shooting skills.

He has already reached the step of "willing".

However, his "meeting" is not enough to be called "meeting".

The bowstring was not fully charged, and the posture of holding the bow was not standard. The arrow he shot in this state naturally missed the target.

"come on!"

Fuko Sakurai, a senior in the Kyudo Club, encouraged him with a smile.

Fuko Sakurai also belongs to that kind of very cute girl, and she also has a sweet smile.

Her encouragement naturally made Yuasa, who had never had much contact with girls, blush and encouraged her to regain her confidence.

The remaining B arrow was placed on the bowstring again in his hand.

Concentrating on it, Yuasa Taketa focused his gaze on the circular target on Azuchi 28 meters away.

Uesugi Kai's two arrows remained precisely above the circular bull's-eye.

The two arrows that were almost close together put great pressure on Yuasa Taketa.

He swallowed his saliva, and the calm and handsome look of Uesugi Kai when he was shooting arrows appeared in his head.

He slowly raised his bow, and the arrow slowly moved towards the target.

but,
Ka!

An impatient string sounded suddenly, and the arrow shot out of his hand.

Without stretching his fingertips, the arrow flew out of his hand early, flew to the right side of the target, and landed on the pile of soil.

"Still. Didn't hit"

Yuasa Taketa put down the longbow in his hand, feeling a little discouraged.

But this is the normal situation of two days of bowing. Some members who showed their archery skills before fell into the same situation as him, and missed both arrows.

Therefore, they did not make any mocking noises, which is also part of the bow etiquette.

Kyudo only has two results: hitting the target and not hitting the target, which is different from the western score based on the number of hits.

In the first round, Yuasa Taketa missed the target because of nervousness, and in the second round, he missed the target because he released the arrow too early.

The posture and breathing method are also slightly lacking.

Compared with the archery skills shown by Uesugi Kai, there is a huge gap.

Qing Youya also stepped forward, stood in front of Yuasa Taketa, and encouraged:

"Come on, you have also seen that many of your classmates were in the same situation as you before. This is a very common situation caused by lack of experience and practice. Please don't be discouraged. We will work hard with you in the future."

"Yes!"

Yuasa Taketa stood up straight and responded loudly.
