Chapter 229 Archery Competition

August 10, 7 a.m.

Kurosawa Hikaru put on his shoes, put on his shoulder bag, and wrapped it with a long strip of cloth. He Gong and Kurofeng, which was more than two meters long and taller than a human, walked out of the house.

There was already a car waiting at the door of the apartment. It was Uesugi Masaki's car.

After putting everything away, Kurosawa Hikaru sat in the passenger seat.

"The day has finally arrived."

Uesugi Masaki held the steering wheel, his body was numb with tension, and his heart was filled with emotion.

Because the competition was approaching, he had been in frequent contact with Kurosawa Hikaru in the past few days, and even met at the Zhui Feng Dojo.

Normally, as the coach and consultant of Dongda Kyudo Club, he would lead the members of Dongdai Kyudo Club to the Budokan.

But this year is different from previous years. He has a supernova player like Kurosawa Hikaru, so he asked others to go directly to the Budokan and make a special trip to pick up Kurosawa Hikaru to avoid any accidents.

"yes."

Compared to him, Kurosawa Hikaru was calm and collected.

"Should I tell you the rules again?"

Uesugi Masaki was very happy to see him so calm and couldn't help but asked excitedly.

Being able to recruit Kurosawa Hikaru into the archery club and let him participate in the archery competition is definitely the best decision in his life.

Because the day before yesterday, when he went to Zhui Feng Dojo again, Kurosawa Hikaru's level of archery was terrifying and he had already reached the ultimate level.

It is no exaggeration to say that this national university archery competition is destined to be his personal show and the stage where he will become famous.

"If you don't mind the trouble."

Kurosawa looked out the window. The weather today was overcast, the sky was a little dark, and it was probably going to rain.

Having said that, when competing in a martial arts gym, you don't have to worry about the weather.

With his consent, Masaki Uesugi also took the trouble to explain to him:

"The National University Kyudo Competition is usually held in early August and lasts for three days in total. Today is the Kanto qualifying competition for the National University Kyudo Competition. The competition is divided into men's and women's groups, team competitions and individual competitions."

"Because this is a national university competition, it focuses more on the team competition. The priority of the individual competition is relatively low. The individual competition will be held first. The specific start time is 8:50. Then there will be more people in the afternoon.

Let’s have a team competition again.”

"The individual competition is divided into two types, the short-range target with a range of 28 meters and a diameter of 36 centimeters, and the long-range target with a range of 60 meters and a diameter of 1 meter."

"There are more players participating in short-range shooting. Players participating in long-range shooting need to be at least a rank. But I recommend you as a sixth-level player, so you can still participate. But because of this, your opponents are at least

He is a player above the first level and is relatively strong.”

"It doesn't matter."

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't care at all about this statement, but looked at the weather outside.

These days, because he and brother Shinichi continue to practice and hone, his understanding of archery is already different from what it used to be.

The most important thing is that he has no opponent on the court today. His opponents are only himself, or Yuki Ichinose and Chizuru Ninomiya off the court.

Neon Budokan, located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, is a large-scale indoor competition facility dedicated to spreading traditional martial arts.

Every year in January of the New Year, the opening ceremony of the martial arts performance is held to celebrate the New Year and practice in the new year.

The opening ceremony includes the nine modern martial arts established by the Neon Martial Arts Association, namely judo, kendo, kyudo, sumo, karate, aikido, Shaolin temple boxing, naginata, and gun kendo.

For Neon, the Budokan may not be the biggest venue, but countless classics are passed down here, which is of extraordinary significance.

Because here, in addition to martial arts competitions and practices, dances, orchestras, dance parties, concerts, professional competitions, large-scale entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc. will also be held.

The journey along the way has a destination after all.

"Martial Arts Hall..."

After getting off the car, Kurosawa Hikaru raised his head. Not far away, he saw the venue for the National Archery Competition and the Kanto Qualifiers.

This is a very large building with an octagonal design, two floors underground and three floors above ground, and can accommodate up to 14,000 spectators and performers.

In fact, this place is no stranger to Kurosawa Hikaru.

He was admitted to Tokyo University, and last year, the University of Tokyo held its freshman assembly here.

At this moment, because there is a competition today, there are also many archers passing through the gate and entering with their bows on their backs.

Unlike him, many people even wore hakama clothes, which looked stylish and had a strong martial arts atmosphere.

"Peak moment."

Looking at the Budokan, Kurosawa Hikaru opened the task list and took a look. After looking at it again, his eyes were burning and his fingertips were numb.

Every man has a passion and the urge to reach the top, and he is no exception.

Exclusive challenge mission for perfect level skills: [Peak Moment - Kyudo]

Task description: A person's life is long, with peaks and troughs, but my life has only peaks and no troughs.

Challenge goal:

[Officially invite Ichinose Yuki, Ninomiya Chizuru, and Shifengin Mirai, and let them watch your peak moment at the Neon National University Archery Competition on August 10th. 】

[Let the whole audience cheer and let them know that you are the focus of the audience and the only one who surpasses them all]

[Show the power of perfect archery skills and let the world hear your voice, your name, and your deeds.]

Today, August 10th, he will demonstrate the power of perfect archery skills at the Budokan, letting the world hear his voice, his name, and his deeds.

"Kurosawa, let's go."

At this moment, Uesugi Masaki got out of the car, picked up all Kurosawa's things, and said hello.

"I'll get it."

"No, it's not heavy to carry."

How could Uesugi Masaki be willing to let him do such a trivial matter? He shook his head.

"You are the teacher and I am the student. You can take all my things. It would not be good if others see me."

Seeing that he persisted like this, Kurosawa Hikaru felt helpless.

"makes sense."

Uesugi Masaki thought for a while, but couldn't refute, so he had to return all his things to him.

After taking the satchel and bow, Kurosawa Hikaru walked with him to the martial arts hall.

Maybe it's still early and there aren't that many people coming to the Budokan yet, but for those who pay attention, they will arrive early.

As he walked towards the martial arts hall, other people were arriving one after another.

A group of people got off the bus.

"Hey, Kurosawa, Yuki, let's go faster and find him."

As soon as Aoi Shiina got out of the car, she looked around, and then she saw the back of Hikaru Kurosawa with sharp eyes.

Maybe it’s because they don’t meet her often, but Hikaru Kurosawa’s presence is very strong, and even if he is mixed in with the crowd, he is still a very conspicuous presence.

Ichinose Yuki walked off the bus with her. Hearing the sound, he subconsciously looked up, and sure enough he saw Hikaru's back.

This made her very excited, and she even subconsciously wanted to take steps and run over.

"Not today. He still has to compete. If we go to him now, we will disturb him. It's better to wait until the game is over to go to him."

However, before his body started to move, Ichinose Yuki still suppressed the urge.

"You are his girlfriend, how can it be an intrusion to say hello to him? And didn't you say that before? He invited you to watch the game, which means he expects you to cheer him up."

When Ai Shiina saw that she didn't want to go, she was immediately speechless and preached.

The four hot girls, because the competition was too early, only two of them came.

As for other people, they are on summer vacation, so how can they be willing to get up early? They basically stay up late and sleep until noon.

"Don't worry, I have a day."

Ichinose Yuki actually wanted to say hello, but she felt it was not the time yet.

"Okay, let's go say hello later."

Seeing her meek look, Shiina Ai didn't know what to do.

After that, they also took steps towards the martial arts hall.

However, before they could take a few steps, people started to arrive one after another.

"Yuki-chan, look, Miss Igarashi is here too."

Suddenly, Shiina Ai saw a familiar face and was a little surprised.

Hearing this, Ichinose Yuki, who was very worried, looked up and saw a beautiful woman not far away.

It was indeed Miss Igarashi, but unlike when we first met, she looked casual, fashionable, hot and mature today.
