Tokyo's most affectionate

"What does double mean?"

It was Akizuki Aoi's first time watching a match, so she didn't quite understand what her reaction meant.

"The day before yesterday, which was the first day, the individual competition had five arrows per person. Now each person has ten arrows, so the competition time has become longer."

"Isn't that great? It means Kurosawa can shoot more arrows and have more opportunities to show off his skills."

"That's what you said...but Kurosawa is participating in the men's individual long-range shooting competition. Before it's his turn, 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 finished before noon."

Yuki Ichinose found that she was more anxious than herself and couldn't help but feel amused, so she comforted her.

There are many cameras installed around the stadium, after all, this is not the qualifying round, but the final.

On such an important day, more equipment is also to make the development of Kyudo more prosperous.

At the same time, the game continues to progress as time goes by.

"Is the Kyudo competition so exciting?"

As the five contestants arrived at the shooting point one by one and took off their short sleeves according to Kyudo etiquette, Matsushita Hitomi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although she prefers guys with a sturdy build, because the huge difference in body shape and height can better highlight her petite and cute figure, she chose the tall and strong Yamamoto as her boyfriend.

But the Kyudo man looks very thin in the long-sleeved Kyudo hakama, but when he takes off his half sleeves, he basically has muscles. The contrast is very strong, pleasing to the eye and sexy.

The most important thing is that these college boys basically have good looks, come from various universities, and are very elegant.

If you can be patient, Kyudo competitions are very entertaining to watch.

"Not bad." Sato looked at his girlfriend's reaction, compared the muscles of those contestants, and thought about his own muscles, feeling relieved.

As a judo practitioner, he was not bad at physical training, maybe he couldn't compare to those bodybuilders in the gym, but among high school students, he had a very strong physique.

Even though they were hot girls and were talking and communicating, they didn’t make any loud noises to disturb others.

"Can this all miss the target?"

After looking at it like this for a while, the patience dissipated, and Qiu Yuekui couldn't help but glance at Lan.

At this moment, she finally understood why Lan was depressed after learning that everyone had ten arrows.

Firstly, they don’t know these contestants at all.

Secondly, the strength of these players varies.

Thirdly, the etiquette of Kyudo is too complicated. Every time a contestant comes on stage, he or she takes a long time before starting to shoot arrows. For those who are impatient, this competition is really frustrating.

"The first round of the men's individual close-range competition ends here."

An hour later, a broadcast was heard.

"It's finally over."

Hearing this voice, Qiu Yuekui put down the phone.

“If only it were over.”

Seeing her reaction, Shiina Lan couldn't help but smile.

Then, the broadcast continued:

"The first round of the women's individual close-range shooting competition will be held next. The rules are that there are five players in each group, and each player has seven arrows..."

"How long will the women's competition last?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yuekui's face froze and she asked.

"It's about the same as the men's group." Yuki Ichinose whispered.

"This is too long..."

Realizing this, Akizuki Aoi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

At this rate of competition, all of today’s time will have to be spent on this competition. Isn’t that too long?

Finally, when it was close to 10 o'clock in the morning, the radio 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 shooting competition will be held."

"Is it Kurosawa's turn this time?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yuekui put down her phone and looked up again.

"Kurosawa is in this group, but we 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.

Since he wasn't very interested in the other contestants, he spent most of his time focusing on Kurosawa Hikaru.

It would have been fine if I hadn't seen it, but once I did, I was really scared... This guy basically didn't move for two hours since he appeared on the stage. His patience is too terrifying.

In comparison, other contestants couldn't help but make some movements, such as lifting their buttocks or something like that. They were tired after sitting for such a long time.

In fact, everyone who came to watch the game just for Kurosawa Mitsuru had similar reactions.

"The rules for this round are that there are five players in each group, each with 5 arrows, and those who hit more than half of the targets advance to the next round."

"Contestants who heard your name, please come on stage one by one."

"Ritsumeikan University, 4th Dan Kyudo, Suigetsu Yōjin."

"Hokkaido University, 4th Dan Kyudo, Hideki Inohara."

"Is it Yuugi Mizuki who comes up first? Inohara Hideki?"

As the broadcast reported, long-time fans were somewhat surprised.

Looking at the Kyudo in universities across the country, there are only three people who are fourth-dan in Kyudo, namely Ohara Makoto from Kanto, Suigetsu Yuto from Kansai, and Inohara Hideki from Hokkaido.

These three have been fighting each other since two years ago and their strengths are very similar.

But the strongest one has to be Makoto Ohara from Kanto. In his freshman year, he ranked second in the country, and last year he won the national championship in the men's long-range shooting category.

Not only in individual competitions, Makoto Ohara also led Waseda University to win various championships in team competitions and was a Grand Slam player last year.

"Kyoto Tachibana University, 3rd Dan Kyudo, Hyuga Shitakushu."

"Ritsumeikan University, 3rd Dan Kyudo, Tsuyoshi Nakajima."

"The University of Tokyo, Kurosawa Hikaru."

Unlike other players, Kurosawa Hikaru has no rank or level, but when his name was called, the whole audience was boiling.

"coming."

"It's finally Kurosawa's turn."

"Beat these guys from Kansai."

"Kurosawa, Kurosawa, Kurosawa!"

All the audience who watched the first day of the competition were excited at this moment.

There was a loud bang, like a tidal wave, and countless cheers resounded throughout the venue, as if they were going to overturn the ceiling of the martial arts hall.

After hearing the name, Yuto Mizuki and Hideki Inohara, who were on their way to the shooting point, stopped and did not move forward.

They looked around and saw that at least one-third of the audience in the stadium stood up and cheered.

Such enthusiastic cheers are even more terrifying than a concert, shocking and jaw-dropping.

There has never been such a grand occasion in the Kyudo competition.

Faced with this thunderous cheer, Kurosawa Mitsuru, who had been sitting there for two hours, picked up the Heifeng beside him with one hand, stood up, and officially went on stage.

Chapter 269: Could it be that Kurosawa is very powerful?

Unlike the first day, today's Kurosawa Hikaru is no longer an unknown player.

Holding the bow in one hand, Kurosawa Mitsuru stood up, bathed in the cheers of the audience, with an indifferent expression, walking towards the shooting point as if he was walking under the stars.

Maybe he has only been famous for a short time, but for anyone who has seen his games, seeing him is like seeing the scorching sun.

He was like a sun hanging in the sky, and his scorching and bright light was enough to make all the other contestants look dim.

"Kurosawa! Kurosawa! Kurosawa!"

The distance from the preparation seat to the shooting point is only a few dozen meters, but this distance becomes very long for other players.

Because all the players have never seen such a scene before, the appearance of a player can actually cause the fans and audiences to be crazy and enthusiastic just like a basketball game or a football game.

This is a Kyudo competition. Audiences who like to watch Kyudo are all very cultured and patient. They have never seen such an enthusiastic reaction.

"Keep the camera on him."

At the same time, each photography team also became aware of this.

"It's already aligned."

However, the photographer had already found the right shot without any instructions.

Anyone who studies photography is more sensitive than ordinary people when it comes to capturing shots.

That's right, the moment Kurosawa Mitsuru stood up, they were already targeting him.

What's more, before the photographers came, they already knew that there was one and only one star player today, and that was Hikari Kurosawa.

"Could it be that Kurosawa is very powerful?"

Akizuki Aoi also wanted to cheer up the audience, but she was intimidated by the audience's enthusiasm.

"That's so exaggerated. Is Kurosawa a big star?"

Matsushita Hitomi was also stunned. She never expected that the scene would be like this when Kurosawa came on the court.

"hiss……"

Sato took a deep breath and felt his scalp tingling.

The shouts were so enthusiastic that it seemed like they were going to overturn the martial arts hall. It was really terrifying.

He could feel the audience's admiration and enthusiasm for Kurosawa, just like fans at a concert seeing their idol appear on stage.

Such calls mean that Kurosawa Hikaru's strength in archery is absolutely extraordinary.

"Hmph~"

In fact, Shiina Ai was also surprised by everyone's reaction, but she was not very surprised. Seeing their expressions, she was very satisfied.

The first person to be called was Suigetsu Yuto. He didn't know how he got to the shooting point. He just stood there and felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

This stage shouldn't be like this... Kyudo should be a more elegant and quieter form of ancient martial arts.

"The game is about to start, please keep quiet."

At the same time, a bright broadcast voice suppressed the excitement of the entire audience.

When the noise receded like the tide, Shuiyue Yong came to his senses. He looked back and saw the man standing in the fifth position with a bow in his hand. He was very quiet and said nothing.

"Was he a big star before he learned Kyudo?"

Suigetsu Yuto couldn't help but think so.

He had never imagined that a kyudo player could have such a warm and terrifying appeal in the past.

You know, even Ogasawara Judan, who is the most famous in the archery world, only makes one or two public appearances every year, and there is no such terrifying on-site response.

Rather, when Ogasawara Judan appeared, the whole place was very quiet, because he was a highly respected master, no one dared to make a loud noise, but just showed respect in their hearts.

"Suck……"

Kyudo is a sport that cultivates the mind. Although Suigetsu Yuto's mind was in a mess, he saw the instructions from the judges out of the corner of his eye, took a deep breath, and came back to his senses.

Then, as the first contestant, he began to perform Kyudo etiquette.

The etiquette before the start of the Kyudo competition is to first worship the gods, then prepare the posture, such as taking off the half-sleeves, handing the arrow to oneself, and officially getting into the posture of archery.
