Chapter 133 Yuzhi, the anxious match between the first and the third [second update]
For the next week, Xiao Huahuo became evasive when he saw him.
Facing his approach, he only accepted it with a small reaction.
For inquiries, nod or no nod.
Like shy, like scared.
These days, all I eat are cup noodles and instant bento.
Fortunately, Hanamaru Hiroki did not notice, and he was as strict as ever in his kendo training.
But every time when the bamboo swords were fighting, Uesugi always felt that he was looking at him more and more unkindly.
------
June is called the Waterless Moon.
Japan has entered the rainy season, starting today, the rain began to increase.
It's not like the drizzle like the spring rain. The plum rain that comes and goes intermittently makes the air full of humidity and depression.
Kaoru Uesugi glanced at the dial.
10:24:13
Look up and look at the cloudy sky.
"It won't rain, will it?" Sakurai Fuko said worriedly.
"The weather forecast says it won't happen." Chitose Zhenyi looked at the top of the eaves of the empty corridor.
"Let's go to the auditorium first. Yuzhi's match is about to start. It seems that the rain won't come down for at least a while." Qing Youya also said.
I don't know if it's because of the high air humidity, everyone's strings have changed more or less.
The game of Yuzhi High School has begun.
Their opponent is Sagami High School, who was third in the qualifiers.
——It is only an arrow away from Shenyue High School's performance in the Kyudo Department.
The second round of the knockout round started with a battle between the first team and the third.
The atmosphere, under this not-so-bright light, gradually became anxious.
first round.
The head of Sagami High School is a seemingly weak young man. Unlike his thin body, his eyes are as sharp and eye-catching as eagles wearing glasses.
What can be called a "cruel" line of sight tightly locks the distant bull's-eye.
Between the preparation of the bow and the junior year, the bamboo bow is raised on an inclined plane.
Unlike Kai Uesugi and the others who slowly drew the bow, he took a wide stride and pulled the bamboo bow to its maximum.
The taut strings seemed to be unable to bear the force of his even pushing and pulling with both hands.
呲!
The "will" didn't last long, and the black arrow feathers came out of the string, and the sharp string sound was harsher than anyone else.
Then there was a "bang".
The loud impact sound hit the bull's-eye directly.
Everyone knows that this person's strength must not be weak.
Almost at the same time, Toshiro Shimokawa of Ozhi High School also hit the bull's-eye with a no-nonsense shot.
——Both of them are martial arts that are rare in archery.
This is followed by a series of chords that follow.
The first arrow of the first round, Sagami and Yuzhi, all hit.
"Who is he?" Uesugi asked almost subconsciously.
"Tamagawa Reio, the ace of Sagami High School." Sohei Sugita was sitting in his seat, not surprised by the special chord.
"The genre is one of the rarest ancient streams, Hidesato-ryu."
"Shooting techniques handed down from the Heian period?"
Uesugi knew the name Fujiwara Hidego because he had been to Ise Shrine and seen the sword enshrined above.
"Yes, Xiuxiangliu emphasizes strength, so their bow strength is half higher than ours."
Hirata Masanobu visited the shooting range, "I didn't expect the two strong teams to play against each other so soon. It's completely different from the high school we played against before."
"It feels... that person is so scary" Chitose Mayi sat with Fuko Sakurai, whispering.
Grand applause followed the end of the first round of competition between the two college teams.
Sagami lost two arrows to Yuzhi.
Everyone in the Shinkoshi Kyudo Club could see Reio Tamagawa sitting back in his seat in the audience without saying a word.
"Yuzhi's overall strength is still much higher than Sagami's." Eiyoshi Tsunei's tone was low, and Reisheng's appearance reminded him a lot of the past. "The entire team of Sagami Kyudo Club depends on that guy to raise his momentum."
His eyes swept over the five people in Yuzhi High School one by one.
"Toshiro Shimogawa, Eihito Yagi, Yusho Hanaoka, Atsushi Fuchigami, and Tei Kaze are all tricky players."
The second round of shooting has begun.
Take the lead.
Tamagawa Reio and Shimogawa Toshiro, who are both top picks from both colleges, shoot at the same time.
The common feature of the martial arts department is that the arrows sound fast, and the high momentum can lead the whole team's next rhythm.
Big forward, second, middle, behind, down.
Arrows shot out from the bamboo bows held high by the youngsters, and they were already familiar with the eight-section shooting method.
The cheers of the tide sounded one after another, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to continue to accumulate under the momentum of the teenagers.
Position—A person in a position must have the strength and measure to make teammates feel at ease.
They need to resist the progressive pressure of their teammates. Even in the face of the situation where all members miss the target, they must maintain their best attitude and shoot the best arrow.
Therefore, the positions of Shenyue and Yuzhi are Suhei Sugita and Fuye Tei.
Ti elegantly picked up the bamboo bow, and the opponent's string sound was as light as the wind in his ears.
Whether it is pleasant, low, or loud, all quietly dissipated in his mind.
His chords are so easy to float.
But to his opponent, it was as heavy as lead.
Zhongmian, who was also seated, couldn't help feeling depressed when he heard the soft sound of Ti's arrow in the air.
The second arrow just now, he was empty.
He must make up for this arrow now.
But things were contrary to expectations, as soon as he raised the bow, his left hand that pushed the bow trembled weakly.
Han Cencen's hands were inexplicably about to lose the grip of the bow. He didn't know why, and he wanted to shoot the arrow with all his strength, but the string sound of the opponent's front position had already sounded from the side, and the applause of the crowd came as expected .
They gathered into an invisible pressure, seeming to urge him to release the arrow quickly.
Yu Zhi's men quickly shot two more arrows, both of which were hit.
The heart became more and more flustered under the pressure, and the breathing began to become irregular.
He didn't listen to his hands, and under the chaotic strings, the arrow landed in front of the target.
"how come!"
Zhongmian looked at the arrow flying towards Antu behind the target, and kept questioning himself in his heart.
At the same time, quickly prepare for the next arrow.
Kyudo competitions should not show too much "disappointment" or "excitement" about the results - this is an important part of competition etiquette.
Yu Chuan Reisheng kept silent about his mistake, quickly nocked the arrow and drew the bow. After a short and rare "meeting", the string was full and the arrow left, and hit another target.
Although he is dissatisfied.
------
The voice of the broadcast: "The result of the game is now announced, the first shooting range, Yuzhi High School.
In the first round, three, four, three, three, four, a total of 17 hits.
In the second round, four, three, four, four, four, a total of 19 hits.

In the second round, four, three, four, two, one, a total of 14 hits.
A total of 29 hits.
"Pity."
Suhei Sugita couldn't help sighing when he saw Sagami High School leaving the scene angrily.
"It was the school that was at least No.3."
"Next, it's our turn, right?" Kai Uesugi stood up.
Sugita nodded slightly, "The high school attached to Haicheng is not weak."
"clear."
Eiyoshi Tsunei also stood up, and looked at Ochi High School who walked away from the dojo in the face of applause, "I hope it's not them in the next round of lottery."
