About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Chapter 102 Arrangement of the Archery Department
department of literature.

5 minutes after Sakakihara left.

Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at the message she had just received on her phone, and she picked up the phone and looked at it for a moment.

"Brother, the archery club competition will start soon next month, right? My sister will definitely participate."

She was about to take back her phone, when she suddenly gave up and sighed.

Slender fingers began to type out words in the input field.

"never mind."

"yoshi!"

Sakakihara Raku changed into her hakama clothes, and as soon as she walked out of the dressing room, she saw Tianhai Jiuliuli's tall figure standing against the wind.

With the flaxen ponytail hanging behind her head, she nocked, pushed, and bowed her bow. Her eyes turned sideways to the distant target from the front.

A bamboo bow more than 2 meters long was held high by her over her shoulders, her eyes were focused on the front, and her right thumb wearing a deerskin glove hooked the bowstring.

Smooth and even.

The taut bowstring did not tremble in her hand.

The moment the arrow whizzed out, the bow string trembled and drove the bow body, making a high-pitched bamboo sound.

With a sound of "heck--", as if following the sharp trajectory of the tail of an arrow, it hit the bull's-eye 28 meters away.

"Yoshi!" Immediately afterwards, there were voices of support from boys and girls behind him.The youthful voice is as melodious as a chorus.

Sakakibara looked at the target directly opposite Tianhai Jiuliuli again, and he stared intently.

It was found that dozens of arrows had been planted around the center of the target, and none of them fell to the target.

"sharp."

It's not just him, in this bow department, whether it's a newcomer or a bow experiencer, they all sighed subconsciously, turned their heads, and exchanged something.

Even the seniors in the second and third grades have to admit in their hearts how powerful this new minister is.

"Good afternoon, senpai." Sakakihara Raku noticed that Masahiro Hata, the senior, came over.

"Yeah, Sakakihara-san, good afternoon, why are you here so late today?"

"Ah, I also joined the literature club, and I usually go there for an hour."

"Oh, well, that's fine."

Vice Minister Hata Masahiro responded casually. He stood next to Sakakihara Raku holding a record book usually used by the Kyudo Department. He looked at Amami Jiururi on the shooting position and said quietly to Sakakihara Raku:
"Do you know how many arrows Minister Tianhai has practiced since he came to the dojo an hour ago?"

"For Japanese bows, there should be no more than 30 bows per hour."

"49! On average, one arrow is shot in a little more than one minute!"

Take compound bows as an example, 100 arrows a day is above normal level.

As long as you are not afraid of losing your hands, you can practice more.

However, traditional bows are completely different.

Kyudo not only requires postures that are quite different from those of compound bows, but also cultivates tolerance and character.

And the bow is the slowest of all bows. After shooting a group of compound bows, the people who practice the bow will shoot two arrows slowly.

With a bow, the shooting speed of a compound bow has to maintain various standard postures.
Difficult, very, very difficult.

"Did she hit all of them?" Sakakihara asked again.

Hata Masahiro showed the record book full of circles in his hand to Sakakihara Raku, and said in surprise: "All hits! And the postures are all correct. I just want to know if Minister Amami's arms won't hurt?"

"Ah-"

The string sound came again.

Sakakihara Raku looked at Tianhai Jiuliuli who shot another arrow, turned her head and said with a smile: "The deputy minister can ask her if her hand hurts. Minister Tianhai will answer any questions."

"No, no, no," Hata Masahiro shook his head quickly, and conveniently drew another circle in Tianhai Jiuliuli's record column, he said with emotion, "Oh, I'm afraid that if I ask her, I will be hit. You know, I I have been practicing archery since the first day of junior high school, so far, I have been unremitting every day, and I am not as accurate as Minister Tian Hai's shooting."

"Did Sakakibara win a district-level championship when she was in junior high school?"

"Ah."

"What is your hit rate?"

"80 up."

"This is quite amazing." Masahiro Hata gave a look of "Why are you all freaks?"

Sakakihara laughed and evaded: "It feels much more difficult with a bow than with a compound bow."

"He bow is a traditional type of bow. There is no sight, and archery is all based on experience. But if you have played other types of bows, and then practice and bow, you will have some experience. It is not very useful. The posture of bow is very demanding. You can It’s completely different. Recently, you shoot a hundred arrows every day, and I’m afraid that your newly bought fiberglass bow will be scrapped soon. Fortunately, you didn’t buy a bamboo bow, which is not only expensive, but also troublesome to maintain.”

"Ah."

"Also, are you sure you want to participate in the county competition?"

"Yes."

"Single or team competition?" Masahiro Hata's face was filled with the signal of "team competition, choose the team competition quickly!"

Sakakibara laughed happily and said, "All the seniors from the third grade in the last class have left, and the main force of boys in the second grade is only senior Kobayashi and the deputy director, you. As for the other seniors"

Sakakibara didn't finish talking, but the general meaning was that most of the other seniors came with the purpose of "self-cultivation", and few of them were willing to participate in the competitive bow competition.

To compete with dozens of aces in the school, every time the arrow hits the target, there is a lot of pressure.

Not to mention the audience will discuss in the audience.

Hata Masahiro thought for a while, "It's not good for me to call those people. If there are no attendance standards, I guess they won't come. Or we can find two more newcomers and experienced people to practice with all our strength for a month. , it’s not like you can’t participate.”

Sakakihara shook his head: "It's too late, I believe the deputy minister understands better than me. If we follow these steps, our school will be screened out in the qualifiers."

"Oh, but the school has set a goal for us. This semester, we boys must get at least one of the top three places."

"Single race."

"Single-player competition!" Hata Masahiro almost shouted, "I guess you don't know, Sakakibara. Those who participate in the single-player competition are all perverts, and the team competition can also rely on the number of people to share the disadvantages. The single-player competition is all about yourself. Guys who are proud, but have strength. It’s not that I don’t have confidence in my strength, but what if, if no boy enters the top three, our club’s funding will be cut!”

"So what if it's reduced? After passing the novice period, most of them will use their own money to buy a set of bows."

"Hey, Sakakibara, you're new here, you don't understand. Last semester, did you know that during school, Minister Minagawa applied to the school to start a dormitory activity. Our whole club, more than 20 people, went directly to Kyoto to play cough, to study We exchanged for fourteen days. I just went to eat some barbecue and soak in the hot spring. Even so, there is still a lot of room for club funds."

Sakakihara understood.

If the association funds are gone.

The co-squatting will become very stretched. If it is gone, it is estimated that the next co-squatting will only be in school for two weeks.

Tokyo at that time, not to mention other things.

The weather alone can be hot as hell.

How can it be comfortable to go out for a hot spring trip?

can understand.

"Oh~ that's it."

"Hey, got it," Hata Masahiro touched him with his arm and smiled, "So, as long as you join, we will recruit two second-year seniors or newcomers, they are easier to talk to, and we will go to the team competition together It's completely feasible. The school's requirements for the team competition are not high, and the top eight will do. If you work harder, it's more reliable than the single competition!"

"This"

"How about it, do you want to consider my suggestion?" Hata Masahiro asked Sakakihara Raku while recording the number of (di) in Tenkai Nine Glasses.

It is not impossible to agree to the team competition.
But he has never participated in a team event, and he has always played alone in his previous life.

"Students, I'm sorry to bother you."

Sakakihara Raku interrupted her thoughts, and followed everyone in the Kyudo Department with her gaze.

The instructor of the archery department, old Mr. Sakahara, hunched over and stood at the entrance of the archery department with his hands behind his back.

Behind him was a teacher from the Academic Affairs Office who had just taken off his shoes and stood up.

Sakakihara also knew this person, the last time he met Kobayashi Xiyue at the school gate, it was this teacher who came to find out about the situation.

He is a middle-aged man with square glasses.

He seems to remember, the surname is Shiozaki, the director of Shiozaki.

Mr. Sakahara touched his mouth lightly with his right hand, cleared his throat, then turned his hands behind his back again, looked around everyone, and said:

"Presumably everyone has already known about the Kyudo County (Tokyo Metropolitan) competition to be held next month, that is, in mid-July. At that time, all schools in Tokyo that have Kyudo clubs will participate, and we are of course no exception."

"Ms. Sakahara!"

Mr. Sakahara looked at the man who raised his hand, "Ah, my wife and classmate, if you have any questions, please tell me."

"If you want to participate in the county competition, do you still have to pass the preliminary round?"

"Well," Mr. Sakahara looked at everyone again, "If you want to participate in the county competition, there must be a preliminaries. Usually, schools in the entire Tokyo need to compete for the top [-] campuses in the preliminaries. Then the top [-] campuses will be drawn into groups, promoted layer by layer, and finally the champion team will be selected."

"How should the school's expedition team be selected?"

"Well, although our archery club has a small number of people, including girls, there are still more than 20 people. And, this time, the school said that no one is allowed to run away, and there will be no idea of ​​'I don't want to participate, so I won't participate'. "

Mr. Sakahara said this, with an apology on his face.

As soon as the words came out, sure enough, many old fried dough stick members in the second and third grades began to whisper to each other.

They seem to be dissatisfied with the school's decision.

At this time, Director Shiozaki of the Academic Affairs Office stepped forward.

"Cough cough!"

He cleared his throat louder.Wearing a straight suit, with a rather high chest and slightly raised chin, he looked around at the students sitting or standing in the archery department and said:
"I know that many students are dissatisfied with the school's mandatory requirements, but students who have this idea in their hearts can think about what purpose you entered this school in the first place, and what purpose did you enter this school with?" ? Let’s not talk about the girls in our Mingde Private School, boys!!”

Director Shiozaki's stern voice sent chills down the backs of the lazy second and third graders, and they quickly regained their senses.

Director Shiozaki withdrew his gaze and continued:
"In the past two years, the boys in the archery department have not achieved a good result. Last year, they didn't even enter the top [-] of the qualifiers!!"

"Both Kobayashi and I were sick last year, so we didn't participate." Hata Masahiro whispered in Sakakihara Raku's ear.

This deputy minister is really full of personality. Sakakihara made a complaint in his heart.

"The school provides financial support to every sports club every semester. Bows, arrows, hands, strings, and the maintenance and competition funds of the entire dojo. Even when you go out for training, you wear the best equipment and use the best Enjoy the best environment, not to mention the things that seem to be practice, but are actually travel and the like.”

"Most of the bow department are specially recruited sports students, so the school will be so angry."

"Vice Minister, are you too?" Sakakihara asked in a low voice.

"Well, me too." Hata Masahiro responded in a low voice, keeping his eyes on the entrance of the Kyudo Department.

"The school can turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, but what is the premise?! The premise is that you have to show your grades! The money the school gives you is not for you to simply enjoy yourself." Yan Director Qi kept clapping his palms with the back of his hand and asked loudly, making a series of heart-stopping noises.

"Okay, okay, Director Shiozaki doesn't need to embarrass the children too much." Mr. Sakahara hurriedly called the director of the Academic Affairs Office, which made him breathe a little easier.

Even if these words were not addressed to the freshmen of this year's high school, it still makes people feel uneasy to hear them in this scene.

Sakakihara Raku glanced at Tianhai Jiuliuli during this period.

Fortunately, she seemed to be fine, just listening patiently.

Director Shiozaki took a breath, "Since Mr. Sakahara has spoken, I won't say more."

Mr. Sakahara stood up again, with a kind face:

"Everyone don't need to be so nervous, just relax a little bit, and you can move a little even if your feet are numb."

"."

"Then, let's get on with the business. This county competition is divided into men's team fives, women's team fives, men's singles and women's singles. Similar to the team competition. Participants, according to the past practice, the entire archery club, whether old or new, must participate in the selection. The selected personnel are all determined according to their performance, and then I will arrange the order of entry for the team. "

When Mr. Sakahara said this, he suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously looked at the face of the teacher in the Academic Affairs Office.

Director Shiozaki made a calm look.

Mr. Sakahara sighed in his heart. He thought that he had been an instructor here for so long, and he never thought that such a thing would happen.

Although the reason given by the school is completely reasonable.

"The men's and women's team competitions and the men's and women's singles competitions are all selected within the entire Kyudo club. As for the mixed men's and women's doubles competitions, the places have been determined by default, and Tianhai and Sakakihara will be in charge."

"Saka—!"

"Be quiet first," Mr. Sakahara suppressed the voices of the students with truth, "I understand that you may have doubts, but in fact, student Tianhai won the first place in the entire Kanto region when he was in junior high school. It's preparing to enter the national competition. I won't go into details about the matter, because it involves Tianhai's privacy.

"As for Sakakihara, when he was in junior high school, he also won the championship of our Tokyo district competition. Even though both of them are freshmen, they both have the strength to participate in the competition."

Etc., etc!

Sakakihara hadn't figured out the situation yet, why did it suddenly come to him?

Why did the school suddenly appoint himself and Jiu Liuli to compete in the men's and women's doubles competition? !

He secretly glanced at Tianhai Jiuliuli.

I found that she also seemed to be in a state of confusion.

This is too abrupt!
"Hey, Sakakibara, what's the matter with you? Did you mess with the school?"

"what happened?"

"Although it is enviable to be able to compete with Minister Tianhai, this is a double competition! It is also a difficult place to go."

"How do you say this?"

"Ahem, you have been to the competition, you should also know the atmosphere of the competition."

"Well, there is a lot of pressure, the audience's eyes are focused, and many people can't even draw their bows steadily."

"That's it. You have to understand that although the sport of archery is a solo sport, in a team competition, the state of any archer will be affected by his teammates. If the previous archer fails to hit the target, the pressure will naturally decrease." It fell on your side. Pulling the strings and trembling your hands will weaken your self-confidence a lot. This is the contrast, and this is the pressure brought by the team honor when it is your turn."

Hata Masahiro continued.

"There's nothing wrong with the double match, but it also depends on who you're with. If Minister Tianhai hits the target smoothly, you can say that she brings enough pressure to the people around her."

Raku Sakakibara tried to construct that image—Jiururi bowed confidently and charmingly beside her, the audience cheered in unison, but she accidentally missed the target, and there was silence inside and outside the arena.

"It seems to be able to feel a little bit."

"What is only a little bit! I didn't tell you just now, just seeing Minister Tianhai practicing arrows makes me blush enough, thinking that I have learned bows for so long, and I am not half as good as others. This is far away Frustrating."

Hmm. It's almost the same as ordinary boys who don't dare to look up in front of glamorous girls?
Hata Masahiro patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the boys are very self-aware and won't compete with you for this position. The girls will probably compete with Minister Tianhai, but [-]% of them won't work. You want Come on, the future champion of the prefectural competition, Sakakibara-san."

Sakakibara smiled and said, "Stop complimenting me like that, senior."

Hata Masahiro looked worried: "Where is it? We are really worried about you. If you accidentally develop morning qi by Minister Tianhai's side, with this thing, a few years of archery career is not enough to heal."

By the way, Zaoqi—refers to shooting arrows too early.

It is a kind of Kyudo disease that is often mentioned in Kyudo books. Many people have suffered from it, and the speed of treatment varies from a few months to a few years.

It can be roughly understood as a mental illness caused by psychological factors.

It's like yips in golf.

After the old gentleman and the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office left, everyone returned to their own progress under Tianhai Jiuliuli's reminder.

The original seniors also started to pick up bows.

Visible to the naked eye, there are some more people on the shooting position.

Hata Masahiro looked around the eye arch, put his hands on his chest, and said to Sakakihara Raku beside him:

"Come on, I like you."

"Deputy Minister, what you said."

　These two chapters pave the way, and what to say tomorrow will also be added.
