Chapter 269 The whole audience cheers
The schedule of the finals is quite tight, because there is only one day, and the players of the national competition are gathered together.
As 8 o'clock in the morning came, the beautiful female voice responsible for the on-site broadcast sounded:
"The 34th Neon National University Kyudo Competition, the national finals, is about to begin."
"Before the competition officially begins, let us warmly welcome with applause, Kyudo Fanshi, Sato Jiudan, Master Sato to hold the arrow handing ceremony for this competition."
"Pa pa pa pa!"
Instantly, the whole audience burst into warm applause.
Amid the applause, Sato Shinichi also walked with his apprentice, holding a bow, and walked onto the field.
When he walked halfway, the applause gradually subsided, and the stage was handed over to him.
"By the way, the requirements for watching the Kyudo competition are quite complicated... The players can only applaud when they hit the target, and they can cheer and say "good" when an arrow hits the bull's eye."
This link again, Shiina Lan has seen it before, and knows that this is a boring and long step, so he simply explains it to everyone.
"There is such a rule..."
Akizuki Aoi was a little surprised. She was a generous person. She originally wanted to wait until Kurosawa came on the field to cheer for him.
"Because the archery competition is not a passionate competitive sport, you must concentrate and calm down when shooting."
Shiina Lan had no choice but to spread her hands.
When her boyfriend participated in the judo competition, although he did not achieve any good results, she shouted "Come on" that day.
"It doesn't matter. Although there is such a rule, there are actually many opportunities to shout "Come on."
Ichinose Yuki noticed that everyone's enthusiasm was hit, and comforted them.
"Yuki, are you so confident in Kurosawa?"
Akizuki Aoi couldn't help but tease after hearing this.
Although she didn't understand the rules of archery very well, she knew that it was difficult to hit the bull's eye in archery.
"Because Brother Guang is very good." Ichinose Yuki nodded.
While whispering, Sato Shinichi's arrow delivery ceremony officially began.
One arrow, and then another. Even at an old age, 28-meter close shooting is no pressure for him.
"This old man is amazing. He used such a big bow and both arrows hit the bull's eye."
Seeing this scene, Matsushita Hitomi couldn't help but sigh.
This Japanese bow is too big. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to shoot it.
In fact, Japanese bows have certain requirements for height. For example, Matsushita Hitomi's body shape is more like a loli, it would be difficult to use.
"He is Kurosawa Ze's master. It is said that he is one of the strongest people in the archery world."
Seeing her sigh, Shiina Lan, who always likes to warm up the field, also hummed.
That show-off and complacent look, people who don't know, think that Sato Jiudan is her master.
"Isn't Kurosawa very powerful?" Akizuki Aoi was a little surprised.
Being able to stand at the top and be called the strongest, no matter what field, is not an ordinary person.
"Super powerful."
Shiina Lan nodded. In order to give everyone a surprise, she didn't show everyone the video of the first day's competition.
Although it is widely spread, it is mostly in college archery. Even if it spreads to high schools, it is mostly in the circle of high school archery.
For these young people, although they surf the Internet, they don’t have time to keep up with current affairs every day.
Along with the conversation, the broadcast sounded throughout the venue, which also indicated the progress of the competition.
"Next, the first round of the national men's individual competition will be held, that is, the 28-meter-range, 36-centimeter-diameter target. Please enter the shooting range in turn after hearing your name."
"Because it is the finals, the rules of the individual competition are 5 players per group, 10 arrows per person, and those who hit more than half of the targets will advance to the second round."
"The number is doubled, so many, it will take a long time to shoot..."
Hearing this, Shiina Lan was a little surprised and a little depressed.
"What does double mean?"
Akizuki Aoi came to watch the competition for the first time, and didn't quite understand what her reaction meant.
"The day before yesterday, which was the first day, the individual competition was five arrows per person, but now each person has ten arrows, so the competition time has become longer."
"Isn't that great? This means that Kurosawa can shoot more arrows and have more opportunities to perform."
"That's true...but Kurosawa is participating in the men's individual long-range shooting competition. It's his turn to play, and he has to wait until the first round of close-range shooting is over."
"Don't worry, it's still early. According to the schedule, the competition will be over before noon."
Ichinose Yuki found that she was more anxious than herself, and couldn't help but feel funny, so she comforted her.
There are many cameras around the stadium, after all, it's different from the preliminaries, but the finals.
On such an important day, more equipment is also to make the development of Kyudo more prosperous.
At the same time, the competition continues to progress as time goes by.
"Is the Kyudo competition so interesting?"
As the five players came to the shooting point one by one, they took off their short sleeves according to the Kyudo etiquette, and Matsushita Hitomi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she prefers burly guys, she chose the tall and strong Yamamoto as her boyfriend because the huge difference in size and height can highlight her petite and cuteness.
But the archery man looks very thin in the long-sleeved archery hakama, but when he takes off his half-sleeves, he basically has muscles. This contrast is very strong, pleasing to the eye and sexy.
The most important thing is that these college boys basically look good, and they come from various universities and have great temperament.
If you can be patient, the archery competition is very enjoyable to watch.
"It's okay." Sato looked at his girlfriend's reaction, compared the muscles of those players, and thought about his own muscles, and felt relieved.
As a judo practitioner, he has never been bad in physical exercise. Maybe he can't compare with those bodybuilders in the gym, but among high school students, his body is very strong.
Although they are hot girls, they are talking and communicating, but they don't make loud noises to disturb others.
"Can this miss the target?"
After watching for a while, Akizuki Aoi's patience dissipated and she couldn't help but glance at Lan.
At this moment, she understood why Lan was depressed after learning that everyone had ten arrows.
First, they didn't know these players at all.
Second, the strength of these players was uneven.
Third, the etiquette of archery was too complicated. Every time a player came on the field, he would dawdle for a long time before starting to shoot. For impatient people, this competition was really anxious.
"The first round of the men's individual close-range shooting competition is over."
An hour later, a broadcast sounded.
"It's finally over."
Hearing this voice, Akizuki Aoi put down her phone.
"It would be great if it was over."
Seeing her reaction, Shiina Lan couldn't help but laugh.
Then, the broadcast continued:
"The first round of the women's individual close-range shooting competition will be held next. The rules are 5 players per group, 7 arrows per person..."
"How long will the women's competition last?"
Hearing this, Akizuki Aoi's face froze and asked.
"It's about the same as the men's competition." Ichinose Yuki whispered.
"This is too long..."
Realizing this situation, Akizuki Aoi's mouth twitched.
At this speed, today's time will have to be spent on this competition. Isn't this too long?
Finally, when the time was close to 10 o'clock in the morning, the broadcast sounded.
"The first round of the women's individual close-range competition ends here."
"Next, the first round of the men's individual long-range competition will be held."
"Is it Kurosawa's turn this time?"
Hearing this, Akizuki Aoi put down her phone and looked up again.
"Kurosawa is participating in this group, but I don't know when he will appear."
Shiina Lan also breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Kurosawa Hikaru in the field.
"Is he an iron man? He sat there motionless for two hours."
Seeing this scene, Sato couldn't help but sigh.
Because he was not very interested in other players, he spent most of his time paying attention to Kurosawa Hikaru.
It would be fine if he didn't watch it, but he was really scared when he saw it...Since he appeared on the stage, this guy basically didn't move for two hours. His patience is too terrifying.
In comparison, other players inevitably have some movements, such as lifting their buttocks or something. After sitting for so long, they are tired.
In fact, anyone who comes to watch the game for Kurosawa Hikaru has a similar reaction.
"The rules of this round are that there are 5 players in each group, 10 arrows per player, and those who hit more than half of the targets will advance to the next round."
"Players whose names you hear will come on stage in turn."
"Ritsumeikan University, 4th Dan Kyudo, Yuto Mizuki."
"Hokkaido University, 4th Dan Kyudo, Hideki Inohara."
"Is Yuto Mizuki and Hideki Inohara the first to come up?"
As the broadcast reported, the long-time viewers were a little surprised.
Looking at the national university Kyudo, there are only three 4th Dan Kyudo players, namely Ohara Makoto of Kanto, Yuto Mizuki of Kansai, and Hideki Inohara of Hokkaido.
These three have been fighting since two years ago, and their strengths are very similar.
However, the strongest one is Ohara Makoto of Kanto. He ranked second in the country in his freshman year, and last year he won the national championship in the men's long-range shooting group.
Not only in the individual competition, Ohara Makoto also led Waseda University to win the championships of various major team competitions, and was the Grand Slam player last year.
"Kyoto Rikka University, Kyudo 3rd Dan, Hyuga Shitaku."
"Ritsumeikan University, Kyudo 3rd Dan, Nakajima Tsuyoshi."
"Tokyo University, Kurosawa Hikaru."
Unlike other players, Kurosawa Hikaru has no rank or level, but when his name was called, the whole audience was boiling.
"Here he comes."
"It's finally Kurosawa's turn."
"Blow up those Kansai guys."
"Kurosawa, Kurosawa, Kurosawa!"
All the audience who watched the first day of the competition were excited at this moment.
With a bang, countless cheers resounded throughout the venue, as if to overturn the ceiling of the martial arts hall.
After hearing the names, Mizuki Yuto and Inohara Hideki, who were heading to the shooting point, stopped and stood still.
They looked around and saw that at least one-third of the audience in the entire stadium stood up and cheered.
Such fanatical cheers were even more terrifying than a concert, shocking and jaw-dropping.
There has never been such a grand occasion in the Kyudo competition.
Facing the thunderous cheers, Kurosawa Mitsuru, who had been sitting for two hours, took the Kurofu with one hand, stood up, and officially entered the arena.
