Chapter 9 009 Archery Department

Archery club?

Uchiha Naruto looked at Tanaka Hikari with some surprise, but couldn't imagine his posture of bending a bow and shooting arrows, and said casually: "I'm a little curious about kyudo, but I don't plan to join the club."

He believes that participating in club activities is meaningless and a waste of time. It is better to use this time to learn or practice ninjutsu.

"Uchiha, have you forgotten? The school motto of Jinguji High School is 'Being both civil and military'. In addition to academic performance, performance in club activities is also valued. The school requires students to participate in at least one club activity."

"So troublesome?"

"Since you have to join a club, why not consider our Kyudo club. I was promoted straight from junior high school, and I am very familiar with Jinguji. After school, I will go to the Kyudo club first. If I don't like it, I can go to other clubs.

look."

Uchiha Ming thought for a moment and agreed: "Then... I'll trouble you."

He was not uninterested in club activities with Japanese characteristics, but he was just afraid of delaying his studies and practice. Having a well-informed local leader like Hikaru Tanaka lead the way would save him some unnecessary trouble.

Jinguji High School ends at three o'clock in the afternoon like other schools. Now is the beginning of the school year, which is the best time of the year for clubs to recruit new students. You can see seniors handing out flyers everywhere on both sides of the school road.

It looks very lively.

"Koshien! Koshien! Do you want to advance to Koshien together?"

"Sweat and burn youth, please come to the track and field department to see it!"

"The tennis club is recruiting new members, and there are handsome seniors who will provide personal guidance. The instructor, Mr. Kujo, is a beautiful woman."

The Kyudo Club is deep inside the school, along the winding path, at the end covered by greenery.

The Kyudo club is different from ordinary clubs in that it has very high requirements for the venue. Only in the corners of the campus can a large enough area be left as a dojo.

Under the leadership of Tanaka Hikaru, Uchiha Ming easily found the bow dojo. At the door of the bow dojo, he heard a crisp string sound of "clang", and then an inaudible sound of "pop" hitting the target.

I took off my shoes at the entrance and walked to the kyudo dojo wearing only my socks on the paulownia wood floor.

Naruto Uchiha looked at the Kyudo Dojo curiously. Kyudo, like Kendo, is a sport with Japanese characteristics. This was his first time coming to the Kyudo Dojo.

Entering from the entrance, a row of two-meter-long Japanese bows and arrows of various weights and sizes are vertically placed on the wall opposite. The shooting range is perpendicular to the entrance.

The shooting range is visually 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, accounting for two-thirds of the dojo.

There are several calligraphy and banners hanging on the wall opposite the shooting range. From top to bottom are 'Truth, Goodness and Beauty' and 'A straight shot must hit'. At the bottom are the eight rituals of archery that every kyudo dojo must have, that is, the eight principles of kyudo archery.

Action diagram and introduction.

A girl with a single ponytail wearing a white top and black kyudo hakama, gracefully guided the arrow and pulled the string. Behind her were several freshmen who were obviously visiting, kneeling on the floor in a sitting posture.

"Kyudo does not require much strength. Hold the arrow high. Kyudo archery relies on the muscles in the back to pull down the bowstring. It doesn't matter if the girl is not strong. The arms actually do not need to exert much effort." The girl with a single ponytail pulled the bowstring to the end.

Behind the ear, aim the arrow at the target after completing the lead.

"Just now a classmate asked me whether myopia will have an impact on archery. In fact, the requirements of kyudo are not strict on vision. Kyudo focuses on posture. If the posture is stable and the method of exerting force is found correctly, hitting the target will be a matter of course.

, this is a direct shot that is sure to hit!”

"like this!"

The girl with a single ponytail shot an arrow. Although it did not hit the target, it hit the inside of the target.

Her movements are as smooth as flowing water, her archery posture is elegant and beautiful, and the girl is fair and beautiful, with black hair that is as long as a crow's feather and tied into a ponytail hanging behind her. She has a pure temperament and is close to Yamato Nadeshiko's type.

, which makes it appear more temperamental.

The first-year students who visited all burst into applause.

"It's great. The girls in the Kyudo club seem to be of a very high level. The hakama uniform is the highest level bonus. It's the same as the miko uniform, which can increase your charm by at least 20%."

Tanaka Hikaru poked Uchiha Naruto with his elbow and whispered to him.

"Head of the Kyudo Club, second-year Yashiki Saki, you can't tell she's wearing a breast protector. In fact, tsk tsk, I've seen her in regular clothes, at least D. Uniform, black long straight sports girl, Yamato

Nadeshiko, who has many attributes, Yashiki Saki is undoubtedly an A-level beautiful girl on my list. How about it, are you interested in joining the Kyudo club now?"

Uchiha Ming was used to Tanaka Hikari's salty remarks and was too lazy to comment, but he had to admit that the girl's movements when shooting arrows were very elegant.

"After shooting the arrow, be careful that the bowstring bounces back and hits the chest. Girls must remember to wear a bra." Bashiki Saki's cheeks turned red, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"The Kyudo Club of Jinguji Temple does not have a far range, only a 28-meter near range. Did you see the wall behind the target? It's called Azuchi. It's to prevent missed shots from flying away. Although the power of the bow is not great,

But arrows are still very dangerous. If there are people in the shooting path, it is absolutely forbidden to lift the arrow. It is strictly forbidden to point the arrow at people after the arrow is loaded, and it is absolutely forbidden to shoot in front of others."

"Does anyone want to give it a try? We have lightweight bows for beginners, ranging from 6kg to 10kg."

"I'll do it! As for the public bow, there's no need for it. I have my own matching bow and arrows."

Tanaka Hikaru stood up directly, carrying the black quiver that was more than two meters high and stood up.

"It's Tanaka-san. Although Tanaka-san is also a first-year student, he has already submitted an application to join the club. It seems that he has experience in kyudo training, so come on."

Bashi Saki smiled reluctantly, his eyes twinkling.

She still remembered the obscene look that Tanaka Hikaru gave him when he peeked at her yesterday. He was like a scavenger. If it weren't for the fact that the boys' team of the Kyudo Club was really short of people, they wouldn't consider such a person.

Tanaka Hikaru walked to the shooting range and took out the bow and arrows from his quiver. The fiberglass reinforced plastic and bow he brought with him were obviously much more advanced than the public bamboo bows in the dojo.

After Tanaka Hikaru took hold of the bow, he changed his previous frivolous and slick expression and became serious. From the starting position of the hand and foot, to the preparation of the string, his movements were orderly.

Although her posture is far less graceful than that of Yashiki Saki, she is clearly not at the level of a beginner.

Uchiha Naru was secretly surprised, thinking that Tanaka Hikaru was here for the beautiful girls from the Kyudo Club, but he didn't expect that he himself had some foundation.

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance...

But can it hit the target?

Snap, there was a crisp sound as the arrow hit the target. Tanaka Hikaru's arrow not only hit the target, but also hit the bullseye!

"How about my archery skills... cheer for me!"

Tanaka Hikaru put down his bow and struck a coquettish pose, with a proud look on his face.

Uchiha Ming's face looked a little strange. Although the arrow hit the target, something was wrong.

"Tanaka-kun is really lucky. Unfortunately, you were in the third position, but you hit the target in the fourth position. This will not count."

There was a smile on Bashisaki's face. Missing the target was common for arrows, but this was the first time she had seen the arrow hit the target at another location.

It's so stupid.

Tanaka Hikaru was also very thick-skinned, and there was no trace of embarrassment. He shook his head and lamented: "I'm not in good condition today. I haven't been able to show my true strength that I have been immersed in kyudo for several years. Forget it, today is not the time for archery."

"Uchiha, I will lend you my bow and protective gear. Come and try it."
