Chapter 229 Kyudo Competition
August 10, 7 o'clock in the morning.
Kurosawa Hikaru put on his shoes, carried his satchel, and wrapped it with a long strip of cloth. He Gong, who was more than two meters long and taller than a human, walked out of the house.
There was already a car waiting at the door of the apartment. It was Masaki Uesugi's car.
After putting everything away, Kurosawa Hikaru sat in the passenger seat.
"The day has finally arrived."
Uesugi Masaki held the steering wheel, his body was numb with tension, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Because the competition was approaching, he had been in frequent contact with Kurosawa Hikaru in the past few days, and even met at the Zhui Feng Dojo.
Normally, as the coach and consultant of Dongda Kyudo Club, he would lead the members of Dongdai Kyudo Club to the Budokan.
But this year is different from previous years. He has a supernova player, Kurosawa Hikaru, so he asked others to go directly to the Budokan and make a special trip to pick up Kurosawa Hikaru to avoid any accidents.
"yes."
Compared to him, Kurosawa Hikaru was calm and collected.
"Should I tell you the rules again?"
Masaki Uesugi was very happy to see him so calm and couldn't help but asked excitedly.
Being able to recruit Kurosawa Hikaru into the archery club and let him participate in the archery competition is definitely the best decision in his life.
Because the day before yesterday, when he went to Zhui Feng Dojo again, Kurosawa Hikaru's level of archery was terrifying and he had already reached the ultimate level.
It is no exaggeration to say that this national university archery competition is destined to be his personal show and the stage where he will become famous.
"If you don't mind the trouble."
Kurosawa looked out the window. The weather today was overcast, the sky was a little dark, and it was likely to rain.
Having said that, there is no need to worry about the weather when competing in a martial arts gym.
With his consent, Masaki Uesugi also took the trouble to explain to him:
"The National University Kyudo Competition is usually held in early August and lasts for three days in total. Today is the Kanto qualifying competition for the National University Kyudo Competition. The competition is divided into men's and women's groups, team competitions and individual competitions."
"Because this is a national university competition, it focuses more on the team competition. The priority of the individual competition is relatively low. The individual competition will be held first. The specific start time is 8:50. There will be more people in the afternoon. Let’s have another team competition.”
"The individual competition is divided into two types, the short-range target with a range of 28 meters and a diameter of 36 centimeters, and the long-range target with a range of 60 meters and a diameter of 1 meter."
"There are more players participating in short-range shooting. Players participating in long-range shooting need to be at least a rank. But I recommend you as a sixth-level player, so you can still participate. But because of this, your opponents are all at least He is a player who is above the first level and is relatively strong.”
"It doesn't matter."
Kurosawa didn't care at all about this statement, but looked at the weather outside.
These days, because he and brother Shinichi continue to practice and hone, his understanding of archery is different from what it used to be.
The most important thing is that he has no opponent on the court today. His opponents are only himself, or Yuki Ichinose and Chizuru Ninomiya off the court.
Neon Budokan, located in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, is a large-scale indoor competition facility dedicated to spreading traditional martial arts.
Every year in January of the New Year, the opening ceremony of the martial arts performance is held to celebrate the New Year and practice in the new year.
The opening ceremony includes the nine modern martial arts established by the Neon Martial Arts Association, namely judo, kendo, kyudo, sumo, karate, aikido, Shaolin temple boxing, naginata, and gun kendo.
For Neon, the Budokan may not be the biggest venue, but countless classics are passed down here, which is of extraordinary significance.
Because here, in addition to martial arts competitions and practices, dances, orchestras, dance parties, concerts, professional competitions, large-scale entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc. will also be held.
The journey along the way has a destination after all.
"Martial Arts Hall..."
After getting off the car, Kurosawa Hikaru raised his head. Not far away, it was the venue for the National Archery Competition and the Kanto Qualifiers.
This is a very large building with an octagonal design, two floors underground and three floors above ground, and can accommodate up to 14,000 spectators and performers.
In fact, this place is not unfamiliar to Kurosawa Hikari.
He was admitted to Tokyo University, and last year, Tokyo University held its freshman meeting here.
At this moment, because there is a competition today, there are also many archers passing through the gate and entering with their bows on their backs.
Unlike him, many people even wore hakama clothes, which looked stylish and had a strong martial arts atmosphere.
"Peak moment."
Looking at the Budokan, Kurosawa Hikaru opened the task list and took a look. After looking at it again, his eyes were burning and his fingertips were numb.
Every man has a passion and the urge to reach the top, and he is no exception.
Exclusive challenge mission for perfect level skills: [Peak Moment - Kyudo]
Task description: A person's life is long, with peaks and troughs, but my life has only peaks and no troughs.
Challenge goal:
[Formally invite Ichinose Yuki, Ninomiya Chizuru, and Shifengin Mirai, and let them watch your peak moment at the Neon National University Archery Competition on August 10th. 】
[Let the audience cheer and let them know that you are the focus of the audience and the only one who surpasses everything]
[Show the power of perfect archery skills and let the world hear your voice, your name, and your deeds.]
On August 10th, today, he will show off the power of perfect archery skills at the Budokan, letting the world hear his voice, his name, and his deeds.
"Kurosawa, let's go."
At this moment, Masaki Uesugi got out of the car, picked up all Kurosawa's things, and said hello.
"I'll get it."
"No, it's not heavy to hold something like this."
How could Uesugi Masaki be willing to let him do such a trivial matter? He shook his head.
"You are a teacher and I am a student. I let you take all my things. It would not be good if others see me."
Seeing him insisting on doing this, Kurosawa Hikaru felt helpless.
"makes sense."
Uesugi Masaki thought for a while, but couldn't refute, so he had to return all his things to him.
Taking the satchel and bow, Kurosawa Hikaru walked with him to the martial arts hall.
Maybe it's still early and there aren't that many people coming to the martial arts hall yet, but for those who pay attention, they will arrive early.
As he walked towards the martial arts hall, other people were arriving one after another.
A group of people got off the bus.
"Hey, Kurosawa, Yuki, let's go faster and find him."
As soon as Aoi Shiina got out of the car, she looked around, and then she saw the back of Hikaru Kurosawa with sharp eyes.
Maybe they didn't meet him often, but Hikaru Kurosawa's presence was very strong, and even among the crowd, he was still very conspicuous.
Ichinose Yuki walked off the bus with her. Hearing the sound, he subconsciously looked up, and sure enough he saw Hikari's back.
This made her very excited, and she even subconsciously wanted to take steps and run over.
"Not today. He still has to play. If we go to him now, we will disturb him. It's better to go to him after the game is over."
However, before his body started to move, Ichinose Yuki still suppressed the urge.
"You are his girlfriend, how can it be an intrusion to say hello to him? And didn't you say that before? He invited you to watch the game, which means he expects you to cheer him up."
Seeing that she didn't want to go, Aoi Shiina was speechless and preached.
The hot foursome, because the competition was too early, only the two of them came.
As for other people, they are on summer vacation, so how can they be willing to get up early? They basically stay up late and sleep until noon.
"Don't worry, I have a day."
Ichinose Yuki actually wanted to say hello, but she felt it was not the time yet.
"Okay, let's go say hello later."
Seeing her meek look, Shiina Ai was helpless.
After that, they also took steps towards the martial arts hall.
However, before they could take a few steps, people started arriving one after another.
"Yuki-chan, look, Miss Igarashi is here too."
Suddenly, Shiina Ai saw a familiar face and was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Yuki Ichinose, who was worried, looked up and saw a beautiful woman not far away.
It was indeed Miss Igarashi, but unlike when we first met, she looked casual, fashionable, hot and mature today.
She has beautiful short silver-gray hair. She wears a high-waisted knitted sweater that exposes her navel, revealing a sexy waistline with a vest line. She wears a pair of denim shorts on her lower body, and her hot figure is bulging forward and backward.
She is so beautiful, with exquisite and beautiful facial features. Coupled with such an outfit, she is destined to turn heads. She is beautiful and handsome.
"So is that cold lady a friend of Miss Igarashi?"
At the same time, Shiina Aoi said in surprise.
"Aloof Sister?"
Hearing this, Ichinose Yuki became aware, and then moved his eyes away from Igarashi Runa and looked behind her.
Sure enough, the cold lady I met at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan that day also came.
Different from the uniform OL outfit she wore that day, today she wore a V-neck burgundy midi skirt with waist.
He has long, slightly curly blue hair, bright red lips, and wears a pair of rimless glasses. His face looks very cold, very ascetic, yet fascinating.
Carrying a small leather bag in one hand, she doesn't need to dress deliberately. With her three-dimensional and stunning facial features, she is already so beautiful that it makes people's hearts beat.
The V-neck of her dress is very high, but her slender neck and collarbone are very sexy.
And even though she was wearing a mid-length skirt, her body proportions were so good. Her pair of long, slender and straight legs were looming as she moved around.
Sexy and cool, noble and delicate, intellectual and beautiful... this big sister is so beautiful.
"It's her again..."
When Ichinose Yuki saw her, she couldn't help but feel alert.
Looking at this blue-haired elder sister, she felt a very strong feeling of rejection in her heart.
Maybe it’s because Brother Guang likes glasses? This blue-haired big sister is especially suitable for wearing glasses, and she is incredibly beautiful.
At the same time, Igarashi Runa, who was walking to the Budokan, also noticed their gazes.
"Miss Ichinose? Why is she here too?"
Looking at each other from a distance of more than ten meters, Igarashi Runa saw their front faces and recognized them.
