Chapter 103 What a man swears to defend

"I will definitely be there if there is an appointment."

Kurosawa Hikaru held her hand, feeling very happy. Although he had to spend three days of his summer vacation, he was still there as promised.

"I will be late, but I will definitely be there?"

This statement was like a guarantee, which made Shifengyuan Mirai a little happy.

The promise made after actually doing something is more convincing.

"Yes."

"Let go quickly, it will be bad if the teacher reports you."

Finding that he still nodded in agreement, Shifengyuan Mirai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, shook his arm, and pulled it back.

"Kurosawa, come and meet Sato Kyudan, this is a national treasure-level master of Neon."

At this moment, Uesugi Masaki on the side greeted him.

As for the interaction between the two people, they naturally saw it.

At this moment, he understood why Kurosawa Hikaru was so anxious. It turned out that he was going to meet this girl, who was really beautiful and very elegant.

"Nice to meet you, I am Kurosawa Hikaru, please give me your advice."

Kurosawa Hikaru turned around and walked over, extending his hand to say hello.

"I heard that you want to visit and learn?"

Sato Kyudan lowered his eyes and glanced at his outstretched hand, but did not shake hands with him, but said.

In terms of seniority, this junior is not qualified to shake hands with him, and even has to bow and lower his head when he sees him.

For a moment, the scene was a bit stiff.

Because one party extended his hand, but the other party was unmoved.

"Yes."

Sensing his arrogance, Kurosawa Hikaru was not embarrassed, and took back his hand and said.

On the way after entering the door, he had already heard from Mr. Uesugi.

The old man in front of him is a top three archery master in the Japanese archery world. Both his strength and fame are extraordinary.

The style he is proficient in is the ritual shooting style, which is the mainstream of Japanese archery today.

"You are a student brought by my brother Uesugi. Today, I will make an exception and let you visit from the side. But if you want to come again in the future, I hope you come in by yourself, instead of relying on others to lead the way."

Sato Kyudan did not drive him away, but his unwelcome attitude was very obvious and his tone was indifferent.

Feeling his attitude, Kurosawa Hikaru's mind sank.

Was it because of his interaction with Shifengyuan Mirai just now that this old man had noticed him? He didn't do anything, just shook hands and said hello.

According to this attitude, if he doesn't do something, he may not be able to touch the bow and arrow today, let alone complete the task.

"Do you have a chance to see how strong the top of the archery world is today?" Kurosawa Hikaru asked after thinking about it.

"Do you want to see me take action?" Sato Kyudan stood with his arms folded, very arrogant.

"Not just to see you take action, in fact, I came to the dojo this time to experience Sato Kyudan's power." Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head slightly, his eyes became sharp.

"How dare you say that, can I understand this as a challenge?"

As soon as these words came out, Sato Kyudan's eyes suddenly became sharp, like the eyes of an eagle, with a certain momentum in his eyes.

For a moment, the people who were shooting arrows next to them looked over.

Looking across the country, there are only a handful of people who dare to compete with Sato Kyudan.

Those who can compete with him are all big names who are famous all over the country.

This young man really doesn't know his place.

"This is the challenge letter."

Perhaps it was because he was on the road and was stared at by everyone, but Kurosawa Hikaru did not show any weakness.

"Since it is a competition, there will be winners and losers, and the loser should pay something, right?"

Seeing him confronting him, Sato Kyudan took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.

"If I win, you should stay away from the future. She is not worthy of an unknown person like you."

After getting his affirmation, Sato Kyudan lowered his voice and said in a very light voice.

"It is not a good decision to use people as a bet." Kurosawa Hikaru was not very satisfied with this proposal.

Betting, leaving the girl if you win, this kind of bet is too stupid.

He used to think it was stupid whether he watched TV or anime.

"If that's the case, then you should kowtow to me in front of the future and apologize, saying that you are ignorant of the height of heaven and earth, arrogant and conceited, and never step into this dojo again."

Sato Jiudan thought about it and it was indeed not good to use the little apprentice as a bet, so he simply changed the punishment.

Let this young man lose face in front of the future is also an option.

"If I win, I will come to the Zhuifeng Dojo if I want to in the future, and you must treat me as a guest of honor." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded, had no objection to this punishment, and also stated his own requirements.

Only they knew the content of the punishment for the two, and no one else heard it.

"Go change into the hakama, and when you are ready, we will decide how to compete." After the matter was decided, Sato Jiudan said.

"Where is the locker room?"

"Over there."

Their actions and words were very decisive, and they did not give others a chance to interrupt.

After asking for the direction, Kurosawa Mitsuru took a step and walked over with a shoulder bag on his back.

As the two separated, Uesugi Masaki came to his senses and immediately followed.

The two entered the dressing room together.

After closing the door, Kurosawa Hikaru put down his bag and prepared to change clothes.

"Kurosawa, what's going on? Even if you have a good archery talent and can hit all 20 arrows, archery is not just about the hit rate, but also about the archery posture, character, attitude, and details. You can't compare with him at all."

When Masaki Uesugi saw him changing clothes, he couldn't help but remind him.

He was very clear about Kurosawa Hikaru's level, after all, he had tested it before.

This young man's talent can be described as terrifying... Although he doesn't know much about archery, he is a master in standing posture, mentality, eyesight, and accuracy.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Kurosawa Hikaru concentrates on practicing for a few years and polishes the basics, he can enter the professional field at any time, and even make a big name in the future.

"Teacher Uesugi, there are three things a man must defend to the death."

Take out the clothes and put them aside. Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at him and said while unbuttoning his shirt.

"What three things?" Seeing his serious face, Masaki Uesugi was a little curious.

"Life, dignity, and face in front of the girl I like." Kurosawa Hikaru took off his shirt, and the muscles of his upper body were tense because of the action, which made him look very powerful.

"Indeed." Uesugi Masaki thought about it and nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense.

These things are indeed worth fighting for with all your strength.

"But even so, defending to the death and sending yourself to die are not the same thing. You have no chance of winning in a competition with Sato Jiudan."

But in the next moment, Uesugi Masaki reacted, shook his head frantically, and said hurriedly.

Outsiders may not understand how strong Sato Jiudan is, but he knows it very well.

Even if he spends his whole life, he may not be able to reach the height of Sato Jiudan.

You know, Kyudo in Japan is divided into two systems: grades and ranks, and there are titles above the ranks.

Beginners gradually advance in grades, seniors are called rankers, and teachers must have the titles of "trainer, priest, and fanshi".

If you want to advance in the rank, the higher you go, the harder it is.

Eighth dan is already a legendary figure.

Ninth dan is the person who stands at the top of Kyudo.

As for the tenth dan above that, they are even rarer, and there are very few in history.

Although Sato Ninth Dan is old, now 70 years old, and his competitive state is no longer young, he is still old and his level is exaggerated, beyond imagination.
