August 12th, 7 o'clock in the morning, the last day of the archery competition.

The weather is very sunny today, which is a perfect time for the finals.

Early in the morning, the entrance to the Neon Martial Arts Hall was extremely busy.

Buses came one after another. Unlike the first day, which was purely from the Kanto region, this time they were filled with players from universities all over the country.

Each county has three university team competition winners, and as for the individual competition players, they are selected from the top six in each region.

Just like this, every group of people looks quite impressive.

"Is this a martial arts gym? It's so impressive."

"Take a picture for me. Take a picture for me."

National-level competitions are always very lively because not everyone has the opportunity to come to Tokyo, and some people even come to Tokyo for the first time.

Although they are watching freshmen, some people are also paying attention to players from other universities.

Kyudo is a sport with thresholds, especially university kyudo.

Some archery clubs even have entrance examinations that completely exclude beginners.

In addition, some powerful archery schools even require their members to practice 4-6 times a week, and there are assessments for promotion and relegation. Even if they participate in competitions, they must first pass internal assessments.

"Hosei University, Waseda University, Meiji University...they are still the same this year. Are they really the strongest schools in team competition?"

Some university archery players who had participated in the competition came to the door of the martial arts hall. They just took a look and studied today's competition list with their mobile phones, muttering to themselves.

In fact, the National University Kyudo Competition, although it is jokingly called student archery by professional kyudo, is also a very competitive competition.

Because of this, over the years, various powerful archery families have been formed.

For example, Ritsumeikan University in Kansai, Tachibana University in Kyoto, and Tenri University.

Looking at the whole country, the two regions that are truly competitive are Kanto and Kansai. After all, these two regions are also the most prosperous cities.

This kind of wealthy university is usually a private university, which focuses more on cultivating students' hobbies and personal abilities...National universities such as the University of Tokyo, for example, mostly have accompanying students.

As for the individual competition, attention is generally low. After all, it is difficult for archery players to prove their strength, and there are so many people that it is even more difficult to stand out.

As the players arrived at the venue, many spectators came early in the morning.

"Kyudo boys are so handsome."

"That boy is so handsome. I wonder if I can get his contact information."

Some girls were envious when they saw the group of college boys wearing kyudo hakama uniforms, wondering if there was any chance of striking up a conversation.

Male college students are inherently a relatively outstanding group. In addition, learning archery can cultivate a martial arts yet elegant temperament, which is extremely attractive to girls who like uniforms.

Although the game did not start that early, at least at 8 o'clock, everyone began to enter the venue one after another and started to prepare.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, a car parked in the parking area outside the Budokan.

"Look, player Kurosawa is here."

"Player Kurosawa!"

As the car door was opened, an old man and a young child walked out, which immediately caused a stir.

"Player Kurosawa?"

As they were heading to the martial arts hall one after another, the players from various universities turned around to look for him when they heard the news.

In the end, many people found the focus.

He was a handsome and handsome man with short, thick black hair, eyebrows as sharp as swords, and a pair of calm and deep eyes on his well-contoured face.

Although they are far apart, most of the archery players have very good eyesight. When they see him, they can feel his gentle and elegant temperament.

"Compared to the day before yesterday, it's really different."

As soon as he got out of the car, he became the center of attention. Uesugi Masaki sighed with a smile.

On the first day of the competition, Kurosawa Hikaru won the championship with three arrows. Not only did the audience at the Budokan that day appreciate his strength and handsomeness, he even continued to be popular in the Kanto region.

"Why is it so lively..."

Kurosawa Hikaru got out of the car and went to the trunk to get the bow, a little surprised.

"Because you are so popular. The video of the game you played that day has been viewed up to 270,000 times as of this morning."

Masaki Uesugi was not surprised by this, after all, he was paying attention to the subsequent impact of that game.

"Two hundred and seventy thousand views, is it very high?"

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't pay attention to it at all. After all, he and Xiao Yuki played outside all day yesterday and it was already 8pm when they got home.

After that, he also sent daily messages to Ms. Ninomiya, trying to get a reply.

After finishing these things, I took a shower, washed clothes, and went to bed at 9 o'clock.

"Isn't two hundred and seventy thousand high?"

Seeing his calm reaction, Masaki Uesugi was a little depressed.

A Kyudo video has more than 200,000 views in two days, which is already an exaggerated figure.

What's more, the reason why Kurosawa Hikaru's entry sequence has such a high number of views is thanks to the promotion of live TV and online broadcasts.

"It's quite high, but I think it will be even higher in the future."

Finding that he was depressed, Kurosawa Hikaru realized that he had misplaced his thinking and explained.

Because the piano video of his Croatian Rhapsody has been calculated in tens of millions so far, so he feels that two hundred and seventy thousand is very small.

But in fact, although Kyudo is considered a relatively mainstream martial art in Neon, compared to music, it is still a very unpopular and unpopular sport.

After all, Kyudo focuses on actual combat and participation. A simple video recording can have hundreds of thousands of views in two days, which is indeed quite high.

"It will definitely be higher. Today is the final. Coupled with your previous performance, today's game will attract a lot of attention."

Realizing that his goals and ambitions were very long-term, Uesugi Masaki thought about it and smiled.

After that, the two of them walked to the martial arts hall together.

But this journey has not been smooth.

"Kurosawa, I like you. Do you have a girlfriend?"

There was a girl who blocked their way and even confessed boldly.

This girl has pretty good looks, and with makeup, she looks pretty, and she also wears black stockings.

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

Having said that, Kurosawa Hikaru was not interested in her at all and refused directly.

"Kurosawa, please do your best today!"

"Kurosawa, I love you!"

"Kurosawa! Kurosawa!"

What's more, in addition to girls, there are boys who admire and are passionate about him.

Because on the first day of the competition, everyone present was impressed by Kurosawa Hikaru's three arrows.

Now he can be said to have officially become famous.

"Thankfully, when I was an artist, I chose to mask up... Otherwise, with my zero-hour fame, the scene might have been even more exaggerated."

Facing these onlookers and enthusiasm, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and responded to the gestures one by one, walking slowly towards the Budokan, thinking secretly in his heart.

This time, he finally experienced what it's like to be famous.

However, he did not enjoy this situation very much, but felt happy.

Because there is a difference in the definition of identity between archery players and artists.

Kyudo players are similar to athletes. They gain status through strength and have limited attention. Usually, their popularity will fade away after a period of time.

Artists are different. Although they will go silent if they don't show up for a period of time, because of the nature of their work, they tend to entertain the public, so they will have more fans.

As the forest gets bigger and there are all kinds of birds, it will inevitably affect your private life.

At the entrance of the martial arts hall, strong teams from all over the country were speechless when they saw his much-anticipated appearance.

"Is he the same Kurosawa who can leap at a hundred steps? He looks so weak."

"A hundred steps can penetrate a poplar, and you can shoot from a distance of 160 meters. It's a divine arrow. Don't laugh to death."

As members of the kyudo community, many kyudo players heard about Kurosawa Hikaru's deeds and rumors over the past two days, and saw the video.

However, everyone has doubts in their hearts, or even does not believe it at all.

You know, not to mention the 160-meter ultra-long-range shot, even if it is 120 meters, which is equivalent to the distance of Sanjusangendo's ultra-long-range shot, being able to hit the target is the focus of the record-setting competition.

There is such a powerful person who has already become famous. How could he become famous at this age?

This is exactly the case. Anyone who has truly studied Kyudo thinks that his fame is a result of the media hype, and he is probably a new project of the Kyudo Alliance.

In order to promote Kyudo, the Kyudo Federation often cooperates with major media and finds some famous and popular celebrities to pose for publicity.
