Ohara Makoto held the bow tightly in his left hand and the bow tightly in his right hand, feeling very unwilling.
Throughout his life, he has been learning Kyudo since he was a child, and he still persisted even after being admitted to a university like Waseda University.
Because he loves Kyudo, he enjoys the feeling of hitting the target every time he draws the bow and shoots the arrow, and he also enjoys the feeling of missing the target.
This is a kind of talent. Because of his love for archery, he has been practicing archery tirelessly every day for so many years, without any end.
He never gets discouraged and always keeps calm. He believes that as long as there is a day when he can still pull the bowstring, he will never put down the bow.
But at that moment just now, when he saw Kurosawa Mitsuru's arrow, he was actually shaken. He even felt that he couldn't shoot an arrow at all and didn't understand what Kyudo was.
What's more, he felt for the first time ever that he had no talent for Kyudo at all.
But he has reached the fourth degree in Kyudo at such a young age, so how could he not have talent
"?"
Facing his awed and unyielding eyes, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but look at him when he heard such a roar.
Is this the second-year soul of Japanese people? Suddenly it ignited.
He had always studied hard and had never joined any sports clubs, so he didn't have a very intuitive understanding.
But at this moment, he finally witnessed the passion of the athletes.
"The game continues."
Seeing that he was still willing to persevere, Sato Shinichi was very happy and declared.
At the same time, the three people who had chosen to abstain just now looked at each other and chose to leave with gloomy expressions.
In the face of absolute strength, they have chosen to give up and no longer have the courage to persist.
There is no point in continuing the competition, they will never be able to beat Kurosawa Hikaru.
As long as it's a competition, everyone wants to fight for the championship... But Kurosawa Hikaru's arrow just now directly shattered their championship dreams.
Their kyudo and archery skills are too immature, and their skills need to be honed.
"Huh..."
At the same time, Ohara Makoto adjusted his state of mind through breathing techniques and regained his composure.
Kyudo is different from other martial arts in that it is an ancient martial art that challenges oneself and is not very competitive.
That's why it is particularly important to regulate your state of mind.
Then he lowered his head, placed the remaining arrow in his hand against the bowstring, raised the bow, and shot another arrow, aiming at the target.
Unlike the close shot of 28 meters, the long shot of 60 meters is extremely difficult, because if you want to shoot a farther distance, you must use more strength and energy.
“Bang!”
Another arrow was shot out, it flew through the air and hit the target again.
"Nice! You're in great shape today!"
Ohara Makoto was very excited when he saw the two arrows hit the target.
Maybe it's not hitting the bull's eye, but being able to hit the target continuously from a long distance of 60 meters is already very impressive, and it's a good sign.
After he finished ejaculating, Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't care about the result, but just lowered his head.
It was his turn to shoot arrows again, and people's eyes were focused on him.
Kurosawa Mitsuru placed the arrow on the bowstring, raised the bow, and pulled the bowstring again.
Unlike the first time when people were unaware of his strength, this time everyone realized his strength and saw his performance again with more feelings.
"So handsome..."
One girl couldn't help but exclaim.
Kyudo, as a martial art, focuses more on the process, or the whole process, rather than the result.
From the moment he appears on the field, the shooter's appearance and demeanor must be in place.
In the process of archery, there is a centralized step in the eight standard steps of archery, which is that after pulling the bowstring, you cannot shoot the arrow directly, but you must maintain your posture and further aim.
That's right, this is destined to be a highly entertaining sport... Add to that the archer, Kurosawa Hikaru's handsome face, his cool and aloof aura, and his extremely serious expression throughout the entire concentration, and it gives people a feeling that is as beautiful as a painting.
“Bang!”
Kyudo is a sport that challenges oneself, and Kurosawa Mitsuru is well aware of this. His eyes are focused on the target, and his right hand loosens, and the arrow misses the string.
"Woo-doo!"
The arrow shot out of the bow, again making a terrifying sound of breaking through the air, and pierced through the center of the target sixty meters away.
That terrifying force made the target vibrate and echo even though it was far away.
His archery is so terrifying. It is still archery, but it is different and unique. It is a perfect combination of strength and beauty. It is an arrow that embodies power.
"good!"
Seeing this arrow, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause again, and countless people cheered for him. Everyone was looking at Kurosawa Mitsuru's figure with admiration in their hearts.
This arrow seemed to be telling the world that the previous arrow was not a coincidence, but a necessity.
He never missed his target with every shot, as if it were a piece of cake. His archery skills were so superb that they had reached the pinnacle of perfection.
“Yeah!”
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuji jumped up from his chair excitedly.
Brother Guang’s performance in the Kyudo competition was so cool. It was even cooler than when he was surfing at the beach.
"I feel like I'm starting to like Kyudo."
Ninomiya Chizuru let out a long sigh and couldn't help but say.
To her, Kurosawa Hikaru is not only very handsome, but also excellent and all-round, but that is mostly in the literary aspect.
This is true whether it is singing, playing the piano, or painting.
But at this moment, he also demonstrated his talent in Kyudo, being proficient in both civil and military affairs.
Although she doesn't know Kyudo, she loves Kurosawa Hikaru because he is so handsome. How could she not love him
"Me too."
Igarashi Runa nodded.
In fact, when she was in high school, she had seen classmates from the Kyudo Club wearing hakama. The uniform was very nice-looking. It looked very handsome on boys and very beautiful on girls. It was extremely ornamental.
But before this, she had never watched Kyudo, whether it was daily practice or competition.
But at this moment, she truly experienced the charm of Kyudo.
Although such charm and feeling were all thanks to Kurosawa Mitsuru... After all, before this moment, she had watched Kyudo performances for so long but didn't feel anything.
"… "
On the other side, Sanmu Baiyu saw this scene. Although he showed no surprise on the surface, a huge wave of anger had already risen in his heart.
This huge wave is made up of countless likes.
In the digital camera store, she held the camera and couldn't help but secretly take pictures of her senior classmate Kurosawa.
Sitting on the stage of the big concert hall, wearing the mask of "Zero Time", senior Kurosawa, who has superb piano skills.
After the performance, because he didn't want to be surrounded by reporters, he deliberately took a side road and suddenly jumped down from the roof, but was accidentally caught by her, and senior Kurosawa was embarrassed on the spot.
Worried about her safety, he watched her walk into the crowd, but afterwards he felt uneasy and pretended to be lost, and deliberately came to the literature department just to see her. Senior Kurosawa.
In response to her question, Senior Kurosawa teased her intentionally because he was embarrassed.
Just by spending some time together, you can see her personality and observe Kurosawa-senpai very carefully.
And now, there is Senior Kurosawa, who is wearing a hakama and shooting arrows at the Budokan.
No matter what kind of senior Kurosawa he is, she likes him all.
"He doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I absolutely want to be with Kurosawa-senpai!"
Countless likes gathered together, Miki Baiyu's eyes reflected the high-spirited, handsome and imposing figure on the field, her eyes gradually became hot, and she clenched her pink fists.
At this moment, she had completely seen through her own thoughts and ideas... She liked Senior Kurosawa.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the field.
"I abstain."
That was Ohara Makoto's voice. Even though he had the pride of being a shooter, when he saw the second arrow that was exactly the same and turned chance into inevitability, he had already deeply realized that there was no need to continue this game.
After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for the nod from the judges.
"Why did he leave?"
"Everyone gave up?"
"What happens next?"
"Contestant, please don't leave. Let's compete for a while longer."
Seeing this scene, the audience came back to their senses from the shock and started to speak out. Some were worried that the game was over and they would not be able to see Kurosawa Hikaru shooting anymore, so they started to try to keep Ohara Makoto.
"Mr. Sato, what do we do now?"
The examiner in the examination seat was stunned when he saw this scene.
Although the long-range shooting competition has very high registration requirements and the number of participants is usually small, as long as you pass the preliminaries, you will basically enter the finals.
But as it is now, the preliminaries haven't even been finished yet and the other contestants have collectively given up. Even though he has been a judge for many years, this is the first time he has seen this.
"Let him keep shooting and see how far he can go."
Sato Shinichi was not very surprised by this and spoke up.
To be honest, even he felt a sense of powerlessness and inferiority when he saw Kurosawa Hikaru.
But he has been cultivating his character all his life, and he is already old, so he feels more fortunate than frustrated.
I am glad that such a genius has appeared in Kyudo.
It is normal for such young people to feel frustrated when seeing the archery of a peerless genius like Kurosawa Hikaru.
Following his order, the examiner gave the order.
Soon, the broadcast sounded:
"Contestant Kurosawa Hikaru, even though the other contestants have given up and you have no opponent, please continue your performance and challenge your limits to see how far you can go."
"There's more to see."
"Then there's no need to come back."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
As the audience became noisy, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the judging panel and gestured with his hands a few times, indicating that he had something to say.
"Excuse me, what do you want to say?"
Soon, a female staff member came up to him with a microphone.
"Since this is a limit challenge, please help me move the target to 160 meters."
Kurosawa Mitsuru lowered his head slightly and stated his request into the microphone.
"Adjust to 160 meters?!"
After these words were spoken, the staff holding the microphone wondered if they had heard it wrong.
160 meters, isn't this too far? Even the highest hall for archery challenges, Sanjusangendo, is only 120 meters.
"Yes, 60 meters is too close."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly, and his voice, magnetic and deep, echoed throughout the audience through the microphone.
