MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 584 Accident

  Japanese Kyudo.

   It originated from the "shooting" of the six arts of gentlemen in the ancient Chinese Zhou Dynasty, and it was a skill that everyone in the Zhou Dynasty nobles needed to master.

  After it was introduced to Japan later, it gradually evolved into the later traditional bowdo, and a complete set of standards and theories were developed based on this—commonly known as "The Eight Sections of Archery".

   Widely circulated in China.

   Stepping, standing still, setting the bow, raising the bow, stretching the bow, aiming, shooting the arrow, paying attention.

   There are a total of eight movements, and each movement has detailed requirements and explanations, which is very easy for beginners to understand and get started.

  As long as these details can be done well, then the target will definitely be hit, that is, the direct shot must hit!

  In summary, this is actually a sport that is more ornamental than practical.

  Compared with hitting the target or not, people tend to pay more attention to a person's shooting style and state, and hitting the target is just a result.

certainly.

  Since it is a competition, there must be a competition.

  So the hit rate has become the criterion for judging.

   In team competitions.

   There are a total of ten players in the two teams.

  A group of players each has 4 arrows, a total of 20 arrows.

   The side with the highest total number of hits can advance.

  If the number of targets hit by the two teams is the same, each will shoot another arrow as a decisive victory.

  About specific standards.

  The contestants have to shoot a target with a diameter of 36 cm from a shooting distance of 28 meters.

  With three consecutive days of competition, there is still the final battle for the king in this selection meeting, which will be held in 10 minutes.

  In the auditorium.

   While recalling the specific rules of the game, Sayu put her hands to her mouth and took a deep breath, rubbing them lightly.

  From Hokkaido to Tokyo.

  Knowing it from everyone, she came here by plane alone.

  The cause of the incident has to be told from a week ago.

  From Aizawa Youichi, she learned something about that person.

  …

   "Anyway, my understanding of Kato-kun is relatively limited. As you know, I met him at the end of summer, that is, at the National Higher Athletics Conference."

  “Having said that, I only interviewed some of his teachers and schoolmates. He himself doesn’t seem to like to appear in the media.”

   "I want to talk about the specific impression... He had black hair at the time, was tall, and looked very clean and fresh, and seemed to be quite low-key."

  「You may not believe it when you say it, but Kato-kun was actually not noticed before the game. It was another player who was sought after by everyone.

   As a result, Kato-kun ran an astonishing quasi-professional result, which must have been the beginning of his fame. "

  “What happened afterwards was similar to what was circulated on the Internet. He didn’t develop on the path of track and field, and I haven’t heard about him for a long time…”

   "What people didn't expect was that he later became a manga artist and was interviewed by a TV station! It's amazing to be able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age."

   "Of course, Ogiwara-san, you are not bad. I also heard about your heroic deeds at the time. You are so brave!"

  「Back to Kato-kun, the changes in him later are really great from what I saw at the beginning.

   Not only did the hair color change, but he also became a popular big shot, which was very popular with girls. That's why you came to me, right? "

   "Huh? You asked me what is the color of his hair? Sorry, I don't know much about it, but it shouldn't be sick or something, maybe he dyed it himself?"

   "Basically, that's about all I know. As a bonus, I can tell you one more piece of news."

  「I heard that Kato-kun seems to be participating in this year's archery tournament, which will be on December 24th.

   Not many people know about this matter at present, if you are interested, you can pay attention to that information. "

  …

that's it.

   To learn more about that person.

  With an indescribable fear and apprehension, Sayu came to the scene of the Kyudo Conference.

  Run away from home for the first time in my life.

   This is my first time in Tokyo.

  The unfamiliar environment brought her not only nervousness, but also an indescribable subtle feeling.

  She felt that she must be crazy, otherwise, how could she make such a crazy move, trying to prove that her delusion was real.

but.

  When she actually saw him, those concerns and worries all turned into firmness.

   "Iwanami-san..."

  The girl chanted softly, wisps of white air overflowing from her lips.

   Just like the promise I made to myself that day.

  No matter what, she must find him...

   While thinking about this, the voices of the students in the front row suddenly entered her ears.

   "Ah, the last match of the team competition is against Kato Yusuke from Toyonosaki, seniors, are they all right?"

   "After all, he's been hitting all shots since the start of the qualifiers..."

   "Isn't that guy also number one in the individual competition?"

   "No way..."

   "That's amazing, he's only in the first grade."

   "I can't bear it. What about the first grade? He just became a monk halfway to play bow?"

   "The hit rate is 100%...Damn it, do you want to fight against that kind of monster?"

   "And he didn't even move the bow back! Could it be that the vibration of the bow didn't affect him? I even broke the calluses on my hands back then."

   "Seriously, isn't this person exaggerating too much? A track and field champion, a cartoonist...to be so good at archery, it's simply cheating!"

   As he spoke, his voice became louder.

   Sayu raised her eyes and looked over.

   Several boys and girls wearing the same sportswear were talking there, with mournful expressions on their faces.

   After watching it for three days, she recognized that those people were students from another strong school in this Kyudo Conference, and it was also the school that was going to compete with the private Toyosaki Academy for the first place.

  ‘It seems to be called Tongxian High School, right? '

   She thought with some uncertainty, a soft smile bloomed on her cute little face.

  Although she felt a little sorry, she couldn't help but feel excited inside.

  The more in-depth investigation, the more you can know how good that person is.

  Sayu doesn’t know much about bowdo, and she has never been exposed to this sport before, but this does not prevent her from understanding the situation at all.

after all-

   It is not easy for everyone to be the champion among more than 200 players selected from all over the country in 43 counties across the country.

  Frankly, that guy was good enough to put anyone to shame.

  'No wonder so many people look forward to him...'

  While she was thinking about it, the speakers installed in the venue also made a sound.

   "Next is the men's team competition, the second round of the final."

   "The first shooting range, private Toyosaki Academy."

   "Number one, Kato player."

   "..." x4

   "Second Shooting Range, Tongxian High School."

   "..." x5

  Follow the players and walk out from behind one by one.

   Sayu's attention was immediately attracted by one of the figures.

  Like the protagonist who came out of a comic.

  A boy with short white hair appeared in people's field of vision, and instantly became the focus of the audience.

  His complexion is fair, his facial features are perfect, his dark eyes contain a bit of unconscious carelessness, and his body exudes a calm and ethereal temperament.

  The boy knelt quietly on the floor, adjusting the bow in an orderly manner.

  The shattered sunset hangs down from the sky, falls through the gaps in the beams, dots on his hands, and lies docilely at his feet.

  The air seemed to be quiet.

   No matter who it is, there is an indescribable feeling when looking at that figure.

  That is an extremely unique temperament, extraordinary and detached, almost a sense of distortion.

  It looks like a misty fresh mountain, elegant and timeless.

   "Google..."

   The sound of swallowing saliva sounded from all around.

   "Good, so handsome..."

  The girls couldn't help murmuring, and stared at the boy on the shooting range, even the girls from Tongxian High School couldn't help it.

   "..."

   Sayu settled down, turned a deaf ear to the commotion around her, focused on observation, and let out a soft breath after a while.

  At least on the surface, the network turmoil a while ago didn't seem to have had much impact on the other party.

  Seeing the boy's calm look, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but couldn't help getting annoyed in the next second.

   After all, she came here, but how should she contact that person afterwards?

   What's more, if the other party doesn't want to see her...

   slap~

  As if to break her thousands of melancholy, the melodious string sound came from the field. With an aura without confusion, it easily shot into her heart.

   Pa-dong-!

  The bow and arrow hit the target.

  Sayu's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, only feeling that the dark clouds hanging over her heart seemed to be swept away in an instant.

  """""Good~~~!"""""

  The girls shouted loudly, their voices echoing in their ears.

  Someone was holding a self-made support fan. The word "Xiaoyou" was embroidered with pink thread on the black fan, and there was a pattern of love arrows next to it.

  【Private Toyosaki Academy:】

  【Tongxian High School:】

  The No. 1 players on both sides successfully hit the target.

   Sayu immediately adjusted her mood and began to watch the game seriously.

  One, two, three, four, five...ten.

  From position 1 to position 5, five players from both sides quickly shot the first arrow.

   The scores of both sides are displayed on the scoreboard.

  【Private Toyosaki Academy:】

  【Tongxian High School:】

  Some viewers couldn't help but say: "Ten people actually hit all shots! It's great!"

  The crowd next to him also nodded in agreement with "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm".

  At the same moment, Kato Yusuke also started preparing to shoot the second arrow.

  Uninfluenced by anyone, the young man slowly raised his bow and arrow.

  He stood sideways in front of the track, his eyes calmly looked straight ahead, his face was full of ease and ease, exuding a strong sense of presence that could not be ignored.

  I saw him bow his body forward with his left arm, and pull the string back with his right hand. Even when the arm is full, the arm does not shake at all, and the stability is extremely strong!

  The tall bow and the bow set off his tall and straight figure and complement him.

  Neither early nor late, the timing is just right.

  —The boy shoots out the arrow.

   slap ~

  The bowstring vibrates the air, bringing a crisp wind, and flicking the ends of his hair like silver threads dancing lightly.

   Whoosh~

  The bow and arrow flew forward under the impetus of huge kinetic energy.

  It’s like drawing a horizontal line with a pen, without any extra movements, it shoots straight to the distant target, making a crisp sound of "Pa Dong!"

   "—A bullseye again!"

   Someone couldn't help but exclaimed, his face was full of shock.

   Slowly, Tongxian's "big front" player also hit the target. It's just a shot, not a bull's-eye.

  Yusuke Kato didn't respond to this, and just knelt down on the floor, even if everyone in Tongxian turned a blind eye to the jealous looks at him.

   Failed to maintain a full shot. Both sides had a player miss this time, and they were both in the second position. I don't know if they were influenced by someone.

   As the second round ends, then comes the third arrow.

  Under the eyes of everyone, the boy stood up calmly.

   There is no first time to open the bow.

  Yusuke Kato first looked back at Miyazaki who was behind, with a hint of thought in his eyes, and then turned back to the right direction.

  For some reason, Miyazaki in the second position has a faint feeling that the other party seems to be encouraging him, but it is somewhat specious.

   Before he could think about it, the other party had already acted.

   creak ~

   The bowstring made a faint moan.

  Like a replica of a perfect movement, the young man opened his bow and arrow naturally. The whole movement is smooth and pleasing to the eye, extremely elegant.

   slap ~

  The melodious strings overlap with the sound of flying bows and arrows, piercing the air and shooting into people's hearts sharply.

   Bang!

  Three times in a row, the bow and arrow hit the bullseye.

   Miyazaki's face showed a look of astonishment, and he was so startled by this hand that his eyes almost fell down.

   It's not just him.

  Including other teammates and opponents were also shocked.

  However, compared to the people in Tongxian High School who were shaken, the private Toyosaki side felt more excited.

  Different from individual competitions where individual soldiers fight, team competitions often affect the whole body.

  A person's momentum and status will not only affect his own performance, but also affect other people.

  Under the ebb and flow, Tongxian High School missed the target twice in a row in this round, while private Toyosaki only had one.

   It's only because of someone who behaved too weirdly, which suddenly increased the pressure on Tongxian's players, and a dark cloud hung over their heads.

  In the auditorium.

   Shocked by the amazing archery skills, people couldn't help getting excited, and the atmosphere was so hot that it seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

   "Wow! Isn't this too accurate?!"

   "It's so handsome, it makes my blood boil!"

   "Kato-kun's shooting style is amazing!"

   "What is that? The posture of drawing the bow is too good, right? And the aura is so strong!"

   "President Xiao You is amazing at everything~!"

   "..."

  Hearing the constant praise from all around, Sayu’s face was also filled with excitement and joy.

  Even a person who doesn't know how to bow can still see the result from the target where all three arrows hit the bull's-eye, which can be said to be full of visual effects.

  The young man at this moment is like a general on the battlefield.

  He pointed out a direction with the bow and arrow in his hand, and the four people behind followed him, with momentum like a rainbow!

   It was under such circumstances that the players ushered in the fourth round.

  The current score is 13 to 12.

  If Tongxian’s players can’t overtake in this round, or if the private Toyosaki players don’t make mistakes, then the ending will no longer be changed.

  It seems to feel the tension of the situation.

  The surrounding wind suddenly became stronger, and the snowflakes in the air were blown one after another, making a faint rustling sound.

  The scene was quiet.

  Everyone was watching the shooting range, staring straight at the slender figure, looking forward to his last arrow.

  Yusuke Kato stood up calmly, ready to play the final sound for the game.

  His expression is very indifferent.

  His handsome face is like a lake without ripples, as if nothing can arouse his emotions, he just stepped on his bow so calmly.

  The audience unconsciously held their breath and tensed their nerves.

   "President Kato...!"

   "Kato-kun...!"

   "Xiaoyou..."

  The girls murmured and clasped their hands in front of their chests, closing their eyes tightly as if praying.

  Sayu looked at the boy on the shooting range, and was similarly affected by the atmosphere, only felt that there seemed to be a voice in his heart that wanted to say something quickly.

  In order to restrain this impulse.

  She first lowered her head and took a deep breath, letting the cold air flow into the deep nasal cavity, and then slowly raised her head.

   After two or three seconds.

   "Come on, Iwanami-san...!"

   She couldn't hold back after all, and shouted in a moderate voice.

  As soon as he finished shouting, he immediately lowered his head in a guilty conscience, not daring to look at the reactions around him.

after all.

  According to the rules heard from other people these days.

  The solidarity outside the shooting range seems to be limited to "good" and applause. It is strictly forbidden to give any archery instructions, and you can only communicate with your companions in a low voice.

  ‘Did I just break the rules…? '

  Thinking about this, Sayu timidly took a peek at the shooting range.

  —Boom.

  The stiff cracking sound suddenly resounded, clear and rigid to everyone's ears.

  People can't help being startled.

   Look around.

  On the archery target in the distance, next to the archery target belonging to the No. 1 position of the first shooting range, a bow and arrow was inserted into the ground alone.

  —very dazzling.

  In contrast, there are four bows and arrows stuck firmly on the target of the No. 1 archery target in the second shooting range.

   "Liar, Xiaoyou actually missed the target..."

  A girl covered her mouth and said, her voice was full of disbelief.

  Woke up by this sentence, people "shua" suddenly looked back.

  The young man was staring down at the Japanese bow in his hand. Two broken bowstrings were hanging weakly from both ends, like weeping willows blowing in the residual wind.

  The bangs on his forehead covered his eyes, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

  The scene was suddenly silent.

  …
