In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 121 Opening Ceremony
Handing the arrow refers to the ritual of praying to the gods for the safety of the archers before the start of the competition.

The arrow handing ceremony is completed by three people. The person who shoots the arrow must be responsible for the authority, and the other two are responsible for handing and taking the arrow.

Handing arrows pays attention to etiquette, and every action must be carried out in strict accordance with the process.

At the venue, the hand pulling the string focused the eyes of everyone present.

His eyes are sharp and his mind is calm
Everyone's hearts trembled following him.

The posture of concentrating on pulling the string affects everyone's curiosity and aesthetic appreciation in their hearts.

This is the charm of archery competition.

Junior, meeting, leaving.

Under the bright stringed sound, as a white feather arrow flew out, with a bang, it hit the bull's-eye in everyone's hearts.

then,

The middle-aged man in a black feather kimono with his left chest exposed took the arrow from Jietian (the person who took the arrow), turned around and bowed to the audience, performed a set of smooth exit rituals, and disappeared into the dojo.

"Akazawa Yuanki, [-]th-dan renshi, member of Shinjuku Kyudo Federation." Ogata Asaka stared at the middle-aged man who was walking towards the outside.

"Is it very powerful?" Chitose Zhenyi found many people with cameras nearby.

"He is 56 years old," Ogata Asaka's tone was as cold as ever, ""Broken", I will catch up with him in a short time. "

"Broken? What do you mean?" Chitose Zhenyi didn't understand that inexplicable word.

Hirata Masanobu turned around and explained: ""Shou, Po, Li" is a concept in Kyudo, but I have only heard of it. "

"I don't know either." Fuko Sakurai shook her head at Chitose Mayi.

Hearing everyone's doubts, Sugita Soo calmly said: ""Shou"—refers to the imitation of archers shooting.Try to follow the dogma and textbooks for all movements, and practice the basic skills indicated in the archery books until you are proficient. "

"Many teachers have told me that people at this stage should focus on theory and then add practical training."

"Imitation to perfection, with your own understanding, the next step is the so-called "broken". "

Ogata Asaka took the words, "Akazawa Yuanki is still in the "broken" stage in his 50s. Although people have been saying that he is amazing, I don't think it's a big deal. "

"You can't say that," Suhei Sugita smiled, "no fear, no doubt, no intention, no intention, no skill, no restraint, no movement, no bias, the so-called "divorce" is very difficult. "

"Senior Sugita, why are you talking more and more mysterious?" Chitose Zhenyi became more and more confused.

Sohei Sugita looked up at the blue sky: "Kyudo has developed so far, and there are many concepts and systems. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Surrounded by the sound of taking pictures and people's voices, the opening ceremony came to an end.

The staff summoned the students participating in the individual competition to wait in the waiting room.

Kai Uesugi picked up his mobile phone and went to the entrance of the venue to pick up Hanamaru Hanabi who had just arrived.

The fresh green leaves were gently swayed by the breeze, and under the brilliance of the morning sun, the girl's purple eyes were especially shining.

Behind Kaoru Uesugi, there is a billboard of "Tokyo Shinjuku Kyudo Federation Zhengshou Tournament".

"Kai-kun, why didn't you tell Hanabi to wake up?"

Around her waist is a small light blue bag with a cartoon shark on it.

Today I was wearing a snow-white dress.

"Hanabi likes to sleep late, so it's not easy to wake her up." Kai Uesugi smiled at her little face.

Hanamaru Hanabi stared at him blankly, and whispered: "Today is Kai-kun's competition, as long as Kai-kun calls for Hanabi, Hanabi will definitely get up."

"It's just the preliminaries. It's nothing important. Besides, didn't you participate in the painting competition two days ago? It's good to take a break."

Hanamaru paused for a second, then whispered:
"Kai-kun's game is more important than Hanabi's."

"Hanabi's rest is more important than my competition." Kaoru Uesugi knew she would say such words, "Don't embarrass yourself too much."

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her little head, "Hanabi didn't make things difficult for herself, Hanabi just wanted to abide by the agreement with Kai-kun."

Kai Uesugi glanced at her little hands folded in front of the skirt, and said with a smile: "Go to the game first, our team competition hasn't started yet."

"Yeah." When he just took a step, Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly showed him a nice smile, "Kai-kun is very handsome today."

Her smile can always impress others.

"As long as Xiao Huahuo likes it."

A total of 72 colleges and universities participated in this district-level competition.

It seems like a lot, but less than half of the clubs can really shoot twenty out of forty arrows.

It is not easy to master a Japanese bow that is tens of centimeters taller than your own height.

Most of the students are well aware of their own strength, and taking part in this competition is only an accumulation of experience.

The real highlights are just a few famous schools.

When Yuzhi High School entered the field under the signal of the referee, all eyes were on them.

Five people, with the same posture and movement, holding longbows and arrows of different colors, entered the arena calmly and slowly, and walked to the shooting position.

"Has anyone from Yuzhi entered the venue?"

"Just by looking at it, it's completely different from those guys before."

"Action, posture, demeanor, especially the one who walks at the end, so elegant"

"Is that person Feng Yeti? I heard that he has the record of hitting [-] consecutive arrows."

Uesugi Kai heard the whispers of the audience behind him with his excellent hearing ability. Among other things, the strength of his arm that shot twenty consecutive arrows is worthy of praise.

Compared with ordinary bows, the posture of holding the bow high and pulling the string will consume more energy and test the arm muscles.

When ordinary people come into contact with bowing for the first time, most of them just lift the bow high above their shoulders, and then they can no longer pull the string above it.

Chitose Zhenyi took Hanamaru Hanabi to talk about some messy topics between girls, Uesugi Kai was not interested in listening, although most of them were about him.

"The five members of Yuzhi all participated in the individual competition?"

Hearing his voice, Sohei Sugita said: "Seven, and two substitutes. It's a tradition. Basically, everyone in Yuzhi will participate in the individual competition and the team competition at the same time."

After Yuzhi entered the venue and saluted, they sat on the stools prepared in the dojo.

The referee then called the next batch of high school players to enter the individual competition.

Compared with Yu Zhi, the attention paid to them is much less.

The voice of the broadcast: "The first shooting field, Ichiban, Yuzhi High School Kazeya contestant.

Second fan, Tsukishima High School · Takayanagi player.

Sanban, a player from Ochi High School and Asanuma.

"There is no suspense in the qualifiers, Yuzhi's people will advance." Guanjing Yingyi focused his attention on Feng Yeti, who was ranked first.
