Chapter 277: Rich and willful
Because of Kurosawa Hikaru's emotional and heartfelt acceptance speech, Morimura, who came on to receive the award later, was also very moved, but his appeal was still far behind.
Immediately afterwards, the semi-finals of the individual short-range shooting group began and ended quickly.
The further the game goes, the faster the process, because someone will be eliminated in each round, and the number is constantly decreasing.
Finally at 12:25 noon, the semi-finals ended.
"The finals will continue at 2 p.m., when the champions of the men's and women's individual competitions will be selected."
The announcer's announcement sounded, and that was the end of the morning's game.
The schedule of the archery competition is very compact and is an all-day competition. The team competition may not be until 7-8 pm at the latest.
With the game temporarily over, the players also began to leave the field to have lunch and take a rest.
"A lot of players didn't play, but they ended up sitting all morning. It was really hard."
Hitomi Matsushita sighed when she discovered that one-third of the players did not participate in the individual competition.
“Observing games is also a very important part of club activities and learning. By observing the strengths and strengths of other players, we can alert ourselves.
Sato was not surprised by this and explained.
Although he practices judo, not kyudo, the direction of club activities is roughly the same.
Especially those strong schools usually observe the games of their strong rivals.
Perhaps the confrontational nature of Kyudo is not as strong as that of Judo, but watching others demonstrate their strength is always rewarding.
At the same time, when the players from various universities were leaving the field, some people also broke away from the team and acted separately.
Most of these people go to shooting sites.
Morimura, who won the championship in the women's category, is a tall girl with slender arms and legs, but a baby face and two ponytails.
"This is too far..."
She came to Kurosawa's shooting point, glanced at the target, and couldn't help but click her tongue.
Although she was watching the game from the preparation seat on the side, she could feel how exaggerated the distance of 160 meters was.
But the scariest thing is the feeling of actually coming to the shooting site to take a look and experience it personally.
"Is that guy a monster..."
Inohara Hideki also took a look at the shooting point and was dumbfounded.
The distance of 160 meters was really too exaggerated. A target with a diameter of one meter was about the same as a football. He couldn't even see the bullseye clearly, he could only see a general outline.
At such a distance, it was difficult for him to hit the target with one arrow...shooting four arrows in a row, each arrow hitting the target. This archery technique could no longer be described as exquisite, but astonishing.
At the same time, someone also walked to the 160-meter archery target.
"This is absolutely impossible."
Suigetsu Yugi came to the archery target and wanted to see if there was anything fishy about the target and the arrows.
Just shooting an arrow 160 meters is already an exaggeration, let alone hitting four arrows in a row.
Even if he beats him to death, he would not believe that someone could do this. He seriously doubted whether it was a secret operation.
"This is the result of Kurosawa's competition and must not be tampered with."
However, just when he stretched out his hand to touch the arrow, a staff member stopped him.
"Kurosawa's game is over. The arrow will be pulled out by his coach later. I just want to take a look at his arrow."
Suigetsu Yuto was stopped and immediately explained.
"Who told you that the arrow will be pulled out later?"
The staff looked at him and said dissatisfied.
"Aren't you going to pull it out?"
Suigetsu Yongren was a little surprised when he heard this.
"After discussion with the Kyudo Federation, it has been decided that Kurosawa's archery target will be moved to the alliance for safekeeping. In the future, the target will be set up here in every National University Kyudo Competition. This move is to commemorate the Kyudo record set by Kurosawa. In order to warn every archery player, there is always someone outside the world, so don’t be lazy and don’t be arrogant.”
Faced with his confusion, the staff nodded firmly and said proudly.
As a fan of Kurosawa players, and as a member of the Kyudo Alliance, he can feel that a new era of Kyudo is coming, and it will be a prosperous and powerful period.
Hearing these words, Suigetsu Yugito was stunned.
What does it mean? Are these four arrows from Kurosawa player going to be treasured?
"Shuiyue, there's no need to look. There's nothing wrong with the target and there's nothing wrong with the arrows."
At this moment, Ohara Makoto came over.
"..."
After hearing this statement, Suigetsu Yugi just glanced at him.
"I saw it the day before yesterday. The first time he challenged the Hundred Steps Penetration Yang, he was actually very reluctant, as if he was challenging the limit... What I didn't expect was that just one day later, his archery skills improved again. , I can hit all four arrows in a row. I am afraid that after the challenge was successful, I also practiced hard in private. "
Seeing that he didn't trust him, Ohara Makoto explained.
No matter what they were talking about, the staff did not interrupt, they just stood in front of the target.
It was meal time now, but in order to protect the archery target, he would not have lunch for the time being until someone came to take over.
As the announcer said, history is made, today.
Perhaps in the history of neon, there have been many marksmen who have gone down in history, but they are different types of bows.
In the era of modern kyudo, this is the first time that a player with the potential and strength to be called a marksman has appeared.
160-meter long-range shooting, 100 steps through the willow, four arrows hit the target in a row, if you add the arrow shot on the first day of the competition, it will be five arrows.
This is the most terrifying record in the nearly 100 years since the establishment of the Kyudo League, without a doubt.
At the same time, the audience was leaving, and some professional Kyudo players were able to go to the competition field and watch further because they were familiar with each other.
"Incredible..."
When the professional players gathered at the shooting point, they were shocked at a glance.
In fact, every professional player has come from a young age, and basically challenged the 120-meter ultra-long-range shooting of Sanjusangendo.
Some people are gifted and succeed in the challenge, while others fail.
For professional players, shooting arrows 160 meters away is actually possible, but the difficulty lies in accuracy. It is a problem to hit the target, let alone four arrows hitting the bull's eye in a row.
If the previous arrow is counted, it means that all five arrows hit the target... 160 meters, 5 arrows, and a target heart rate of 100%, this data is so exaggerated.
…
At the same time, after Kurosawa Hikaru left the venue, he handed the trophy to Mr. Uesugi and was invited to the lounge by the bodyguard.
This time, because there were no accidents during the process, he arrived at the first time.
"I really can't tell that you are a natural actor."
In the lounge, Shifengyuan Zhenlong waited for him to come in and sit down, and couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Zhenlong is praising me or belittling me?"
Hearing this evaluation, Kurosawa Hikaru knew that he was talking about his fake crying, and asked immediately.
"Being able to make something that is fictitious sound like the truth is also a skill."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong stroked his beard and smiled.
Perhaps actors are not popular in Japan, and cheating is not a virtue or behavior worthy of praise, but people with acting skills are definitely stronger than those without acting skills.
This Kurosawa Hikaru has both talent and talent. Although he is still young and has little scheming, he will become a great man in time.
"You kid, you just tricked me, give me back my tears."
As the conversation went on, Sato Shinichi glared at him speechlessly.
Just now, after Kurosawa Hikaru won the championship, he cried with joy and thanked him, which made him cry.
After all, he is old and is easily moved.
But when Kurosawa Hikaru said thank you to Shifengyuan Shinryu, he realized that...this kid was just talking nonsense, not a single word was true.
"Brother Shinryu, you are wrong to say that. Although it is a lie that Mr. Shinryu taught me, it is true that you taught me and gave me the bow, and my gratitude to you is also true."
Kurosawa Hikaru complained about this, and said it seriously.
This is the truth. He really admires and appreciates Brother Shinryu, especially after getting to know each other, he knows each other better.
As a ninth-dan archer, Brother Shinryu's status and identity are invincible, but he is still willing to admit defeat.
Moreover, when they first met, he accepted the challenge and rudeness of an unknown junior like him.
In addition, the love and respect that Brother Shinichi showed him was genuine.
"That's fine."
Old people are easily influenced, and seeing his attitude, Sato Shinichi nodded with satisfaction.
"After this battle, your reputation has been established. I will let the media publicize your deeds, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to."
Seeing their cordial interaction, Shifengyuan Shinryu slightly opened his eyes and interrupted.
"Please speak."
"Don't be arrogant because of fame... Although I don't think you will make such a low-level mistake, it is better to make some things clear. I will make you a celebrity who leads a new era of Kyudo, but it is easy for you to be recognized by young people, but it is still difficult to be recognized by the older generation. You must behave properly."
"I understand."
Kurosawa Hikaru naturally knew this. Fame has advantages and disadvantages, just like the spotlight effect.
If he did good things, they would be magnified and known to people, but if he did bad things, they would also be magnified infinitely.
"You should really understand that things should be prioritized."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong looked at him deeply, seeing through but not saying it.
Because of the bodyguard's report, he knew that this boy was a playboy, and in addition to his granddaughter, he was also ambiguous with other girls.
However, it is not good to put these words on the table and say them too clearly.
"Okay."
Kurosawa Mitsuru noticed his seriousness and thought about it, but still nodded.
"Your game is over, I still have things to deal with, and it's time to go back to my family. Although I want to have a meal with you, this place is too simple. I'd better wait until the next time you come to Shifengyuan's house as a guest, and then I will formally receive you."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong knew that he was a smart man, nodded slightly, and didn't say much, just stroked his beard and stood up tremblingly.
After that, the old butler, Akai Kazuki, walked up to Kurosawa Hikaru and presented him with a golden business card.
This business card is very special, with a string of numbers and a maple tree pattern on it.
Seeing this, Kurosawa Hikaru also took it.
It's quite heavy, a business card, it's actually pure gold, should we say that being rich means being willful?
"If there is anything later, someone will contact you. If you encounter any big trouble, call that number."
When he got it in his hand, Shifengyuan Zhenlong reminded him.
After that, he did not stay for long and turned around and walked away.
After his grandfather walked out of the lounge first, Shifengyuan Mirai also took the opportunity to turn around and waved goodbye to Kurosawa Hikaru, with a very bright and beautiful smile.
