Chapter 235 God descends! (4 more monthly tickets requested)
Although kyudo competitions require a lot of attention to ceremony and etiquette, they are actually quite enjoyable to watch and can be understood by laymen.
This is similar to football. Even if you don't know any technical moves, hitting the target is just like hitting the ball, and the result is very intuitive.
"Everyone from the University of Tokyo has finished shouting, why isn't it Kurosawa's turn yet?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was sitting in the audience watching the game. After waiting for a long time, she saw Kurosawa Hikaru sitting in the audience and was a little puzzled.
"If you ask me, I don't know either. I don't understand kyudo." Igarashi Runa spread his hands.
To be honest, she was anxious while waiting, because for more than half an hour, Kurosawa had been sitting there motionless, even closing his eyes to rest.
"The men's individual competition close-range shooting preliminaries have ended here. The women's group individual competition short-range shooting preliminaries will be held next. The rules are the same as those of the men's group."
As the individual competition lasted for more than an hour, an announcement sounded in the stadium.
"We're already in the women's group, why hasn't it been Brother Guang's turn yet?"
Hearing this, Yuki Ichinose was a little anxious.
"Keep a calm mind. The archery competition is divided into close-range shooting and long-range shooting. Since the close-range shooting did not appear, Kurosawa should participate in the long-range shooting competition. And the more I watch now, the more I understand. Kurosawa will know later. Ze is so awesome."
Shiina Ai was also anxious, but because she was more anxious than him, she could only comfort her.
Except for a few relevant personnel, most of the audience's reaction was very normal and they watched the game patiently.
After all, the people who will come to watch the competition are either those who are interested in kyudo, or they are friends and family members of the players who want to see people they know show off their skills.
There are many details during the competition. For example, after each round of five people shooting volley, the staff will remove the archery target and replace it with a new one.
Tokyo is one of the regions with the largest number of registered archery players in Neon, so even if it is the Kanto qualifier, which is not a true national competition, there are still a lot of people.
What's more, there are also cameras for online live broadcasts and TV stations to broadcast the game live.
"sorry."
Hearing her comfort, Ichinose Yuki realized her anxiety and felt a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter. I was more anxious than you were on the night of the piano competition. You even waited with me for two hours."
Shiina Aoi didn't care at all and smiled.
It was the same situation that day at the piano competition when she was waiting for the Zero Hour Master.
She was a relatively impatient person to begin with, and the person she cared about never showed up, so it was strange that she wasn't in a hurry.
"The sisters who learn archery are so elegant."
Forcing herself to calm down, Yuki Ichinose soon saw the appearance of the women's team and couldn't help but praise.
This is true. It may be because she is a college girl, or it may be because she is learning archery. Every young lady is beautiful.
"No matter how elegant I am, I can't compare to you. You are the future supermodel."
Shiina Ai didn't feel much about this, because she saw too many beautiful women this morning.
Perhaps each of these ladies participating in the women's team is very good-looking... but compared with Xiao Yuki, Miss Igarashi, Miss Ninomiya, and the rich lady, they are completely different. .
"I can't be a supermodel, I'm too short."
Ichinose Yuki felt a little embarrassed when she heard this compliment.
"If you can't do it, then don't do it. With your looks and figure, you are still very popular in Asia."
Seeing her reaction, Shiina Ao thought about it and said a little enviously.
Maybe supermodels are the top ones in the modeling world, but in fact, you don’t have to be a supermodel to make money. Being a top model can also make a lot of money.
While talking, they also watched the game patiently.
Compared with the men's group, the performance of the women's group was relatively weaker, and misses frequently occurred.
Perhaps the target hit rate is not high enough, but in terms of viewing, the performance of the women's team is more pleasing to the eye.
"The short-range shot preliminaries of the women's individual competition are over here, and the long-range shot preliminaries of the individual competition will be held in five minutes."
"It's finally Brother Guang's turn."
After finally hearing this broadcast, Ichinose Yuki clenched her fists immediately.
"Let me just say, Kurosawa should be participating in the long shot individual competition."
Shiina Ai was also in high spirits and full of expectations.
At the same time, staff came on stage and began to set up the shooting range, such as moving a larger target and placing it at a position of 60 meters.
After staying there for five minutes, the radio rang again.
"Because there are a total of 5 players who have signed up for the long shot in the men's and women's groups. Please take the seats in order for the players whose names are called."
"Five? So few?"
Hearing this, Ichinose Yuki was a little surprised.
In the short-range individual competition, the total number of participants is at least nearly a thousand.
As she made a sound of surprise, the middle-aged man sitting behind said:
"Long shot is a competition that only archers with certified rank can sign up to participate. Moreover, long shot is more than twice as difficult as short shot. People who sign up for the competition usually intend to participate in archery-related careers in the future. In order to pursue Higher breakthrough.”
Hearing these words, Ichinose Yuki and Shiina Ao both looked back at him.
"Thank you for your explanation."
Ichinose Yuki realized the difficulty of long-range shooting and said something with some understanding.
"Uncle, you are so kind."
Shiina Aoi is relatively familiar with her and feels that he is quite nice.
"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do."
The middle-aged uncle smiled softly when he saw these two young and beautiful girls.
Because he had been sitting two rows behind and listened to the chatter of these two little sisters for more than two hours, he had already felt that these two little sisters should know Mr. Kurosawa.
Especially this super pretty blond girl, who must have a very good relationship with Mr. Kurosawa, who keeps calling Hikaru.
To be honest, he was also looking forward to Mr. Kurosawa's appearance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip to watch college students' games on a working day like Wednesday.
At the same time, the broadcast began to introduce the names of the players:
"Waseda University, 4th Dan Kyudo, Ohara Makoto."
Unlike the short-range shooting, the long-range shooting competition is somewhat famous because it requires a rank.
Following the words, some players who had been waiting for a long time stood up and headed to the shooting range.
"Tokyo Denki University, 3rd Dan Kyudo, contestant Takashi Utada."
"Meiji Gakuin University, 2nd Dan Kyudo, Sakurai Yasuo."
"Tokyo Women's University, 2nd Dan Kyudo, Satomi Noto."
"University of Tokyo, Hikaru Kurosawa."
After hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru, who had been closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes, stood up, and picked up the Japanese bow next to him.
With the bow in hand, he who had been silent for a long time suddenly showed his sharpness.
"come on."
Seeing this scene, the seniors and juniors who were waiting in the preparation seats, as well as the seniors and juniors, all cheered him up.
The moment Kurosawa Hikaru picked up the bow, his presence was extremely terrifying and his aura was overwhelming. He walked towards the shooting point step by step and became the focus of people's eyes step by step.
Ohara Makoto, the only fourth-level archer, felt an inexplicable sense of panic. He shouldn't have looked around, but he couldn't help but look around.
Not only him, but the players who were heading to the shooting point were all looking at Kurosawa.
In fact, several players participating in the long-distance shooting have known each other for a long time because they are all kyudo players active in Kanto.
But only Kurosawa Hikaru was not from their circle... He was like a comet, suddenly appearing here.
"What a perfect appearance."
"As expected of Uesugi's sixth-dan rank and personality, he recommended me. The contestants who signed up for the competition just don't know how good their archery skills are."
Seeing him holding a bow and walking with a handsome appearance, the examiners were all whispering to each other.
"Finally it's him."
The people in the audience were also looking forward to it.
Under the spotlight, Kurosawa Hikaru's mood remained calm. He just followed the requirements, arrived at the shooting point, and stood behind the four contestants.
With his arrival, the four players' backs felt like pins and needles, and their whole bodies were tense.
Even though their backs were turned to him, the overwhelming presence was terrifying... It was as if the person standing behind them was not a player, but their teacher.
Although he is nervous, Kyudo is a martial art that cultivates one's moral integrity after all, let alone a player who has been certified by a rank.
"Don't worry about him." Ohara Makoto took a deep breath, calmed down, then knelt on the ground, took off his half sleeves, performed a set of etiquette, stood up, and began to formally shoot an arrow according to the eight steps of the shooting method.
The Eight Sections of Archery refers to the eight standard steps for an archery shot.
That is to step on, form the body, raise the arrow, lift, pull away, concentrate, separate, and abandon the mind.
An arrow was shot, and with the separation, the arrow flew far away, and hit the corner of the target.
"Bah bang bang!"
"Nice!"
Although it was at the corner of the target, Ohara Makoto was still pleasantly surprised when he saw the arrow.
As the fourth dan, the highest ranked player among the five players, he was able to hit the target, but the rest were not so lucky.
Originally, a long-distance shot with a range of 60 meters was very difficult. Coupled with the appearance of the mysterious figure Kurosawa Hikaru, everyone's mood was affected and the pressure was huge.
Missed.
Missed.
Missed.
Three consecutive misses made the atmosphere in the arena gradually tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Kurosawa Hikaru at the end.
Many people are curious about him and want to see what this handsome guy will do.
"Turn the camera on him."
The TV station staff saw this scene and directed the photographer.
Under the gaze of everyone, Kurosawa Hikaru, who was kneeling on the ground, said nothing. He just untied his kyudo uniform with one hand and took off his half sleeves.
Then, holding the bow in his left hand, he stood up and held two arrows in his right hand.
This rising made all four players hold their breath.
Holding a bow in his hand, Kurosawa's eyes were as calm as a pond. He stood up, stepped on his feet, took his body, loaded the arrow, and raised the bow.
"Kaka!"
When he began to draw the bow string, and with the arrow fully opened, the arm-length arrow was parallel to the arm. The muscles of his exposed left shoulder actually flexed in a circle, and the muscle lines gave people a terrifying sense of power. , and the bow was stretched to the limit, and the bowstring made a slight sound.
And when he concentrated on aiming at the target, the players nearby saw an extremely horrifying scene that he would never forget.
I saw his dark and deep eyes, the moment they landed on the distant target, the pupils were actually dilating and contracting, as if they were adjusting the distance of sight.
As the size of his pupils became fixed, his eyes were terrifying, sharp and frightening!
"boom!"
Seeing this scene, Ohara Makoto felt something explode in his mind, as if he had seen the coming of the God of Archery.
This figure raising the bow and drawing the arrow exudes a suffocating sense of oppression, as if the sky is collapsing and the earth is cracking, which makes people feel awe and despair.
His shooting style, his archery posture, are natural... It is a height that he cannot imitate or reach in his entire life.
"Snap!"
The next moment, the bowstring burst and the arrow was shot out.
This arrow is like an arrow that cuts through the long night and brings dawn, which is extremely terrifying.
"Woo-Duk!"
The full bow bursts and the arrow breaks through the air with a sharp sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. The arrow hits the center of the target, and even penetrates the center of the target completely, making a huge echo.
