Tokyo's most affectionate

This statement seemed like a guarantee, making Shifengyuan Mirai a little happy.

A promise made after actually doing something is more convincing.

"Correct."

"Let go quickly, or the teacher will report you."

Noticing that he was nodding in agreement, Shifengyuan Mirai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, shook his arm, and pulled it back.

"Kurosawa, come and meet Sato Jiudan, he is a national treasure-level master of Japan."

At this moment, Masaki Uesugi called out from the side.

Of course, they saw the interaction between the two people.

At this moment, he finally understood why Kurosawa Hikaru was so anxious. It turned out that he wanted to meet this girl. She was so beautiful and had a great temperament.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kurosawa Hikaru. Thank you for your guidance."

Kurosawa Hikaru turned around and walked over, extending his hand to say hello.

"I heard you want to visit and study?"

Sato Kudan lowered his eyes to look at his outstretched hand, and instead of shaking hands with him, he said.

In terms of seniority, this junior is not qualified to shake hands with him, and even has to bow and lower his head when seeing him.

For a moment, the situation was a little stiff.

Because one party reaches out, but the other party remains unmoved.

"Correct."

Sensing his arrogance, Kurosawa Mitsuru was not embarrassed. He withdrew his hand and spoke.

On the way in, he had already heard from Uesugi-sensei.

The old man in front of him was a top three archery master in the Japanese archery world. Both his strength and fame were extraordinary.

The style he is proficient in is Liye-ryu, which is the mainstream style of Japanese Kyudo today.

"You are a student brought by Brother Uesugi. Today I will make an exception and let you visit from the side. However, if you want to come again in the future, I hope you come in by yourself instead of relying on others to lead the way."

Sato Kyudan didn't chase him away, but his unwelcome attitude was obvious and his tone was cold.

Feeling his attitude, Kurosawa Hikaru's heart sank.

Was it because of his interaction with Sifengyuan Mirai just now that this old man noticed him? He didn't do anything, just shook hands and said hello.

According to this attitude, if he doesn't do something, he probably won't be able to touch the bow and arrow today, let alone complete the task.

"Will I have the chance to see how strong the top of the Kyudo world is today?" After thinking about it, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked.

"Do you want to see me take action?" Sato Kyudan stood with his arms folded, looking very aloof.

"I'm not just here to watch you take action. In fact, I came to the dojo this time because I want to experience how powerful Sato Kyudan is." Kurosawa Mitsuru shook his head slightly, his eyes becoming sharp.

"How dare you! Can I take this as a challenge?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sato Kyudan's eyes suddenly became sharp, like an eagle's eyes, and there was a certain momentum in his eyes.

All of a sudden, the people who were shooting arrows with bows nearby looked over.

Looking across the country, there are only a handful of people who dare to compete with Sato Kyudan.

Anyone who can compete with him is a well-known figure in the whole country.

This young man really doesn't know his place.

“This is the challenge.”

Perhaps it was because he was on an away field and was being stared at by everyone, but Kurosawa Hikaru did not show any weakness.

"Since it's a competition, there will be winners and losers, and the loser should pay something, right?"

Seeing him responding sharply, Sato Kyudan took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.

"If I win, you stay away from the future. She's not someone a nobody like you can match."

After getting his affirmation, Sato Kyudan lowered his voice and spoke in a very light voice.

"Taking people as bets is not a good decision." Kurosawa Mitsuru was not very satisfied with this suggestion.

Making a bet and leaving the girl if you win is a stupid bet.

He used to think it was stupid whether he watched TV or anime.

"In that case, you should kowtow to me and apologize in front of your future self, saying that you are ignorant and arrogant, and never set foot in this dojo again."

Sato Kyudan thought about it and agreed that it was not a good idea to use his little apprentice as a bet, so he simply changed the punishment.

Letting this young man lose face in the future is also an option.

"If I win, if I want to come to Zhuifeng Dojo in the future, I will come to Zhuifeng Dojo, and you will treat me as your honored guest." Hikaru Kurosawa nodded, he had no objection to the punishment, and he also expressed his request.

Only the two knew the content of their punishment; no one else heard it.

"Go and change into the hakama uniform, and then decide how to compete when you're ready." Sato Kudan said after finalizing the matter.

"Where is the dressing room?"

"there."

Their actions and words are decisive, leaving no room for others to interrupt.

After asking for the direction, Kurosawa Mitsuru took a step and walked over with his bag on his back.

As the two people separated, Uesugi Masaki came to his senses and immediately followed.

The two of them entered the locker room together, one after the other.

After closing the door, Kurosawa Hikaru put down his bag and prepared to change clothes.

"Kurosawa, what's going on? Even if you have a great archery talent and hit all 20 arrows, Kyudo is not just about the hit rate, it's also about the archery posture, character, attitude, and details. You can't compare with him at all."

When Uesugi Masaki saw him changing clothes, he couldn't help it immediately, reminding him.

He was very clear about Kurosawa Hikaru's level, after all, he had tested it before.

This young man's talent can be described as terrifying... Although he doesn't know much about Kyudo, his posture, mentality, eyesight, and accuracy are all unique.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Kurosawa Mitsuru concentrates on practicing for a few years and polishes his basics, he can enter the professional field at any time and even become very famous in the future.

"Teacher Uesugi, there are three things a man must defend to the death."

After taking out the clothes and putting them aside, Kurosawa Mitsuru glanced at him and said as he unbuttoned his shirt.

"Which three things?" Seeing his serious face, Uesugi Masaki was a little curious.

"Life, dignity, and face in front of the girl I like." Kurosawa Mitsuru took off his shirt. The muscles in his upper body were tense because of the movement, giving him a sense of power.

"Indeed." Uesugi Masaki thought about it, felt that it made some sense and nodded in agreement.

These things are indeed worth fighting for at all costs.

"But even if that's the case, defending to the death is not the same as committing suicide. You have no chance of winning against Sato Jiudan."

But in the next moment, Uesugi Masaki reacted, shook his head frantically, and said hurriedly.

An outsider may not understand how strong Sato Kyudan is, but he knows it very well.

Even if it was him, he would probably not be able to reach the level of Sato Kyudan in his entire life.

You should know that Kyudo in Japan is divided into two systems: grades and ranks, and there are titles above the ranks.

Beginners gradually advance through the levels, experienced ones are called dan masters, and teachers must have the titles of "trainer, priest, and model master."

If you want to advance in rank, the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.

The eighth dan already makes him a legendary figure.

The ninth dan is the person who stands at the top of Kyudo.

As for the ten sections above that, they are even rarer and there are very few of them in history.

Although Sato Kyudan is old, now in his seventies, and his competitive state is no longer as good as before, he is still experienced, and his level is so exaggerated that it is beyond imagination.

Chapter 104: A Request

"We haven't even started the competition yet, so don't try to dampen my morale."

Since they were both men, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't mind changing clothes in front of him.

He had worn a hakama once before when he was in the Kyudo Club. Although it was a rather special style, it was not difficult to put on.

The difficulty of wearing a hakama lies in the obi, the way to tie it is very particular and complicated, just like a kimono.

"I don't mean to discourage you... This was your first time at the Kyudo Club, and you didn't even know the eight sections of archery. Although you have a strong learning ability, it's only been a few days, and you want to challenge the master."

Seeing him changing clothes non-stop, Uesugi Masaki really had a headache.

To be honest, he was very happy when he first received the call from Kurosawa Hikaru.

He was even more delighted to learn that he wanted to visit the Zhuifeng Dojo, because this young man was definitely a promising talent. If he could be trained by Sato Kyudan, he would surely become a great man.

But I never thought that this guy was not here to learn skills, but to pick up girls, and he didn't know the limits and directly challenged the master.

"Mr. Uesugi, could you please call in Miss Shifengyuan, the girl I just shook hands with."

Soon, Kurosawa Hikaru put on his clothes, but left the belt untied.

"alright."

Seeing that he couldn't hear what others said at all, Uesugi Masaki thought of the arrogance of genius, and stopped forcing him and nodded.

Well, let's use this competition to let Sato Kyudan dampen his enthusiasm.

Perhaps this competition will inspire his competitive spirit, and he will take the initiative to come to the club for training starting next week, instead of just coming to the club once and then disappearing like before.

As he walked out, after a while, Shifengyuan Mirai opened the door of the locker room and took a peek.

"Kurosawa, why did you think of competing with the teacher?"

After seeing that Kurosawa Hikaru had put on his clothes and there was no embarrassing situation, Shifengyuan Mirai asked anxiously.

When she heard Kurosawa Mitsuru's challenge just now, she was stunned on the spot. When she came to her senses, Kurosawa had already agreed to compete with the teacher and entered the locker room.

Because the maid was beside her, she had no chance to say anything. Now that she was alone in the locker room, she finally had a chance.

"Because I want to shoot arrows with you, and there's no way he'll let me touch the bow unless I challenge him."

Kurosawa Hikaru responded while still adjusting his collar.

"Why did you call me in?"

When Shifengyuan Mirai heard that he wanted to shoot arrows with her, his anger and confusion were immediately dispelled. He hesitated for several times and finally asked.

"I don't know how to tie a belt, can you help me?"

Kurosawa Hikaru pulled his hakama to prevent it from falling, pointed at the belt on the bench, and blinked.

"You can't even tie the cross-dress belt for Kyudo, and you dare to challenge the teacher."

Shifengyuan Mirai was stunned for a moment, then immediately blamed.

Although she was complaining, she still walked forward and picked up the belt on the chair.

In any case, it took a lot of effort for Kurosawa Hikaru to get into the dojo to see her. It was just helping her tie the belt, a small matter.

Shifengyuan Mirai is about 1.7 meters tall, very tall, and wearing a hakama, which makes her look even taller and slimmer.

"You look more energetic in your hakama than usual."

As she walked up to him and helped him tie the belt, Kurosawa Hikaru opened his arms, looked down at her and smiled.

"You are almost the same, not very serious."

Shifengyuan Mirai, who was circling around him with her head down and helping him tie his belt, felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and responded without even raising her head.

This guy has been acting a bit unserious ever since that day when he suddenly let her take a break.

"Hahaha." Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't seem to be offended by this comment.
