The competition rules for the long-range shooting group are relatively strict, the registration requirements are very demanding, and the number of participants is the smallest among all the events.

Even though today is the national competition, players came to Tokyo from all over the country to participate in the long-range competition, but the number is not very large, there are only 18 people in the men's and women's groups combined.

Having said that, precisely because the number of players is small, each player is very capable.

The players in the second group all performed well and had a high hit rate.

"Have a drink of water."

As Hikaru Kurosawa returned to the preparation table, Masaki Uesugi came over and handed him a portable water bottle.

"Thank you teacher."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw his action and took over with a smile.

Since he came on the field, he has been waiting at the preparation table, and he has not drank water for more than two hours.

"Have a good rest, I'll go collect the arrows."

Seeing him drinking water without even a drop of sweat, Uesugi Masaki looked at him with great pride and complacency and said.

Kyudo players' arrows are classified according to arm length, and the lengths are not exactly the same.

Although the competition party can also provide arrows, usually it is more convenient and familiar to bring them yourself.

After saying a few simple polite words to him, Kurosawa drank some water to moisten his throat, closed the cap of the bottle, put it by his feet, and started watching the game.

Idle time is idle, and I can't play with my mobile phone or do other things in the preparation table, so that's all I can do.

The competition was proceeding in an orderly manner, and it didn't take long for the long-range group competition to end. Including Kurosawa Hikaru, a total of seven people advanced to the second round.

"This Kurosawa is really good."

The True Dragon of Sifengyuan who was sitting in the audience was very satisfied when he saw this scene.

He is always smiling. The more he sees the achievements and levels of others, the more satisfied and fond he becomes of Kurosawa's potential and abilities.

This young man is still young, but he has such superb archery skills and such strong physical talent. It will definitely be a matter of time before he reaches the top of the archery.

Sifengyuan Mirai is sitting next to Grandpa. Their seats are better. They are located on the side. They can see the faces of all the players and the conditions of the targets.

"Two..."

Because of this, Shifengyuan Mirai also noticed the results achieved by Kurosawa Hikaru in the first round of archery.

"Did she do something?"

Realizing this, she turned her head slightly and looked at a few people in the distance.

In that place, there was a girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She was very beautiful and dressed sweetly and elegantly.

To be able to influence Kurosawa's decision, it seems that Yuki Ichinose is more important to Kurosawa than she expected.

"Yuki, why is your boyfriend's kyudo so good?"

On the other side, Qiu Yuekui was dumbfounded.

Ten arrows, all bullseyes, this is crazy.

The others also nodded after hearing this, looking at Kurosawa Hikari and then at Ichinose Yuki with surprised expressions.

"whee."

Being stared at with envy by everyone, and hearing everyone praising Mitsu-nii, Ichinose Yuki was very proud.

"Hahaha, I brought you to watch the game, right? Kurosawa is really fierce."

Seeing everyone's stunned and convinced expressions, Aoi Shiina was very excited.

Compared with the first round, the game starts from the second round. As the number of people becomes smaller, the time will be relatively faster.

Of course, a competition is a competition. Kyudo competitions are usually full-day events, and no link will be skipped or any player will be missed.

Kurosawa Hikaru is quite patient about this matter.

After all, the individual competition is held in the morning and the team competition is held in the afternoon, so those players have to wait a long time.

In fact, many people also sign up for the individual competition while participating in the team competition.

The reason why Kurosawa Hikaru did not participate in the team competition was firstly because the Kyudo club at Tokyo University was not strong enough, and secondly because he was not interested in close range shooting.

After waiting for a long time, as the game continued to progress, the broadcast sounded, making the entire stadium heated up again.

"Next, the second round of the men's individual long-range shooting group will be held. Because there are only five men's players who advance to the second round, according to the rules, if there are less than six people, it will be the finals."

"The rules of the final are different from the first round. Each person has 12 arrows. After shooting 12 arrows, the one with the highest number of hits will be the champion. If two people have the same number of hits, there will be no restrictions on shooting until whoever misses the target first.

, whoever wins is the runner-up.”

"Players whose names you hear please come on stage in order."

"Ritsumeikan..."

"University of Tokyo, Hikaru Kurosawa."

"Kurosawa! Kurosawa! Kurosawa!"

As the announcer called Kurosawa Hikaru's name again, the atmosphere in the audience was ignited again, and all the audience eagerly shouted a name, as if to welcome the hero to the stage.

Kurosawa Hikaru could not wave in response to this overwhelming call, because the archery ceremony of archery did not allow such frivolous movements.

He just stood up, walked step by step to the shooting point, and then waited for the order.

For his players, such support is as if they are on the road, which is unsettling and even frustrating.

No matter what state his opponent was in, Kurosawa Hikaru ignored him, just waiting and shooting when it was his turn.

There are no surprises or any suspense. There is absolutely no flaw in Kurosawa's archery skills.

In the national finals, all 12 arrows were scored, and Kurosawa killed the game directly.

"All hits! All hits again!"

As he hit the target with another arrow, the announcer couldn't contain his excitement, and his voice echoed through the microphone throughout the audience.

"The 34th Neon National Collegiate Archery Competition, the national finals men's individual competition long shot category, the national champion was born! That is Kurosawa."

"Since the beginning of this competition, Kurosawa players have shot a total of 24 arrows in the long-range shooting competition."

"With 24 arrows, the hit rate is 100%, and they are all bull's-eyes! Such a record, even if we look at history, is unprecedented and unprecedented!"

"What's more, Kurosawa has a magical skill, which is to shoot through the enemy's body with a hundred steps and shoot from a distance of 160 meters!"

"The competition in the long shot group is not over yet. There are still two players from the women's group competing alone. I wonder if we will have the opportunity to see Kurosawa's 160-meter super long shot once again after the women's group finals.

The art of archery.”

The announcer's explanation and introduction made people feel the horror of the data more intuitively and truly.

With these words, the audience's eyes were all focused on Kurosawa Hikaru, wanting to know if they could still see his performance.

Facing countless looks, Kurosawa Hikaru stood with a bow in hand and nodded.

"Wow!"

Seeing his affirmation, the audience was excited.

In fact, when Hikaru Kurosawa participated in this competition, the championship was already destined.

With his perfect archery skills, it would be too easy to win this competition among college students.

However, the results are not important, the key lies in the process and performance.

On the first day of the Kanto region competition, he tried his best and showed his potential, breaking through the limit as if he were ahead of others.

And today, he will use Yang Youji's bow to fully unleash the power of perfect archery, become famous in one battle, and achieve an unprecedented record.

"This is too noisy..."

One of the judges in the review box frowned when he heard the entire audience cheering Kurosawa's name.

Kyudo is a very elegant martial art, quiet and peaceful, which is the tradition.

"What do you know? When was the archery such a grand event?"

As soon as Sato Shin heard his muttering, he immediately became unhappy and glared at him.

Maybe this is a small stage that only belongs to students, but the hidden dragon is destined to soar into the sky.

Brother Kurosawa impressed everyone with his absolute strength and highly ornamental archery skills.

More importantly, such a terrifying influence means that Kurosawa is very likely to break the inherent pattern of traditional kyudo and lead kyudo into a new era.

"That's what you said."

The judges, whose ears hurt from the noise from the audience, were scolded by him but did not dare to speak back.

"Kurosawa nodded. Does this mean he is going to perform another miracle? Please leave Kurosawa for a while and wait until the women's final is over before inviting him to perform."

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the announcer's voice was like a TV show that suddenly broke into an advertisement at the exciting moment, breaking the situation.

"Can't we just start?"
