I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 After all, the fewer times you shoot arrows, the more room for luck to play a role.

　　In the Kyudo tournaments held in Japan in the past, there are occasionally such lucky players. They usually perform normally in training, but when they get to the official competition, they are lucky and get a shot.

　　 However, such people are still a minority.

　　 Also, when you are lucky, even hitting two or three arrows is actually quite normal. Many newcomers who are new to Kyodo can do this. But if you can really rely on "luck" to kill all the way from the qualifiers to the finals, then there is nothing to say.

　　 Maybe the opponent is the son of the legendary plane, or saved the galaxy in the previous life, so that one in ten thousand chance can be turned into reality.

　　If you use the draw card game to compare...

　　 is probably the kind of "Yang Shou draw card" player...

　　Wait until Jiufeng Shiyuan finished the rules, the group finally came to the lounge.

　　 said it was a "lounge", but it was actually an apartment building.

　　 A total of a dozen people came from Narita High School this time, and they were scattered in three of the rooms. From the windows on the south side of the room, you could just see the open-air archery range of Wakaba High School.

　　According to the schedule of the Kyudo Association, the time for Narita High School to participate in the competition will mainly focus on this afternoon and tomorrow morning. After tomorrow afternoon, the players in this competition will basically be eliminated. On the third day of the competition, the final batch of winners will be decided.

　　 "The first two days are the time for various universities to participate in the selection process. If you have nothing to do, you can go over and observe, maybe you can learn something.

　　 But remember your own games, don’t delay the selection. "

　　 Washmine Shion said to Ogata and others like this.

The annual prefectural competition is considered to be one of the most important events in the colleges and universities of each county. The officials of Chiba Prefecture attach great importance to this, and the security measures are very strict. There are dedicated staff patrolling the entire stadium inside and outside. .

　　Besides, the members of the Kyudo Club are also a group of young men with an average age of seventeen or eighteen. With the two ministers, Kurimi Sanae and Ogata, watching, it is naturally impossible to get lost in such a place.

　　 Therefore, Jiufeng Shion is also happy to be the shopkeeper.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu was free, and together with Kurimi Sanae and others, ran to the archery range to watch a few matches, as he was familiar with the game process in advance.

　　 And the result of "observation" also confirmed what Jiufeng Shion had said before.

　　 When most people shoot the first two arrows, they are generally able to concentrate and maintain a high hit rate.

　　 After the next two arrows, the gap in skill level gradually began to show.

　　 Some of the lower level players have begun to have arm instability and miss the target. There are also a few shots that have been clearly out of shape, and they will be eliminated by the censorship.

　　According to Kurimi Sanae’s explanation, the judges of the "review committee" are all selected from the Kyudo Association. Most of them are archery athletes and have a fairly deep understanding of archery. In addition, almost all the actions of the "eight quarters of shooting" have very clear standards, so when giving points, they are usually very objective.

"Theoretically, there is indeed the possibility that the examiner will be bought over by others, but the score is not determined by a single person. If one of the examiners' scores is obviously deviated and cannot give a sufficient reason, then it is very May become the subject of doubt...

　　 Once this kind of thing breaks out, not only will the players who paid bribes be removed from the rankings, but the examiners who accepted the bribes will also be revoked from the archery position, and even the entire review meeting will be investigated. "

　　 Speaking of this, Kurimi Sanae smiled:

"These examiners are generally from very good backgrounds. After all, archery athletes are considered high-income groups, and the scoring standards for archery competitions are almost all listed in plain text. There is very little room for black box operation, so for this, you don't need too much. Worried."

"Yes……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu scratched his head.

　　 She actually wanted to ask, what would happen if someone directly tampered with the memory of these examiners, but this method is just a casual remark by the old monster, and it’s not true.

and……

　　 is not necessary.

Because from the results of Bai Shuiqiu's "observation", the strength of these contestants is generally uneven, most of them are just above the average level of Narita High School's Kyudo Club, and students who can hit more than three arrows in a row are almost the same. Only occupies one-third of the total number of people.

　　 In other words, after such a round, the more than 1,000 people participating in the competition will probably be eliminated to the point that there are only 300 people left.

　　 At the end of the third round, there were basically only 30 people left, and the efficiency was not low.

　　 Among the players participating in the competition, Bai Shuiqiu also saw that Takeda Yoko from Wakaba High School.

　　 The level of this girl is indeed very good. The first round of the four arrows all hits, and the posture is quite standard. Compared with several other students in the same group, it is very obvious. After the first round of the competition, it seems to be a popular candidate for the women's championship.

　　 There were even some reporter-like people who started the interview in the stands, preparing to wait for Takeda Yoko to win the championship, and be the first to grab an exclusive interview and make a lot of hype.

　　 until the afternoon.

　　 After eating in the cafeteria of Wakaba High School, Bai Shuiqiu returned to the apartment building to take a nap. After half past one, he got up and washed his face, cheered up, and came to the archery range again.

　　 This time, she is not here to watch the game, but to participate in person

Chapter 423

　　 Next to the archery range, Bai Shuiqiu finally sorted out his archery suit and the bow in his hand, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with all the equipment, he raised his eyes again.

　　 At this time, Kurimi Sanae handed over the quiver at the right time, and then whispered a few precautions when entering the arena.

　　 "Senior sister said all these things, I have written down."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded, swept around the archery range with the corner of his eye, and took a deep breath: "Then, I will go with them first."

　　 From the beginning of the morning, the auditorium around the archery range was full of people. Every direction was black and heavy. There was no sign of decreasing until the afternoon. It is estimated that there were at least several thousand people. Bai Shuiqiu rarely experiences such scenes, and his heartbeat can't help but speed up slightly.

　　 "Well, teacher Shion and I are together, waiting for your good news."

　　 Kuri Jian Sanae pursed his lips and said softly.

Watched by Kurimi Sanae, Shiramine Shion and others, Bai Shuiqiu slowly stepped into the archery range, learning the appearance of several contestants in the same group, coming to the wooden platform in front of the judging stand, and then kneeling down and sitting down one by one. , Put up the bow in your hand and make an arrow movement.

　　 Although I was a little nervous when I entered the stadium.

　　 But after entering the state of archery, Bai Shuiqiu immediately put aside all the distracting thoughts, his mind became clear, and his mind became clear.

　　 "Huh..."

　　 In the sound of long and steady breathing.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu slowly got up.

　　 Step on the feet, posture, prepare the bow, lift...

　　 Following the eighth points of shooting, an inexplicable temperament haunts Bai Shuiqiu's body, a feeling of solemnity and elegance emerges spontaneously. Especially when she pulled the bowstring away, this temperament became more obvious, just like a person in a picture.

　　咻——

　　 As soon as the bowstring quivered, the arrow appeared in the center of the bull's-eye.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu kept his broken heart, and after a few seconds, he knelt down again, and began to prepare for the second archery.

　　 In the state of the unity of essence, qi, and spirit, she can no longer hear the sounds around her, as if everything in the world has disappeared, leaving only a target tens of meters away. From the first action, Bai Shuiqiu's gestures are like flowing water, and there is a pleasing charm everywhere in his body.

　　 This kind of charm once appeared in Jiufeng Shion once.

　　 is what this old monster showed during the demonstration when he taught Bai Shuiqiu "Mind Eyes".

　　The feeling of Yuanzhu Yue's standing still makes Bai Shuiqiu's memory still fresh until now.

With her current level of archery, she still can’t feel like Jiufeng Shion’s self-contained world, but compared to two months ago, her bow-drawing and archery movements have become extremely smooth and natural, as if not. In archery, but in the same way as painting, there is no smoke or fire in the action.

　　 This unique temperament is even more eye-catching than her own appearance, and it quickly became prominent in a group of players.

　　 Several examiners on the judging stand cast their sights on one after another.

In the audience around 　　, more and more people gradually noticed Bai Shuiqiu.

　　The sound of fine discussion gradually sounded:

　　 "Which middle school is that girl contestant? I haven't seen it in the previous two years. Is this a new face..."

　　 "I heard it was a student from Narita High School..."

"Narita High School... isn't that the same college that won the women's championship last year? No wonder it has such an archery level, but Narita High School has too many archery geniuses, isn't it the younger sister of the champion last year? "

　　 "It might just happen to hit two arrows. After all, a genius of the level of Kurimi Sanae last year, there may not be one out of thousands of people. How could it be like Chinese cabbage, every year..."

　　 Along with these talking voices, Kurimi Sanae opened her eyes slightly, and looked a little surprised, turning her head to look around:

　　 "Teacher Ziyuan, Xiaoqiu...couldn't she have realized the realm you said?"

　　As the heir of the Kyudo family, Kurimi Sanae naturally knows the term "mind eye".

But at this level, even her father, Kurijian Linshen, who has the eighth stage of the archery certificate, just touched a little bit. On the contrary, the lower Jiufeng Shion has been immersed in this level for a long time. Sanae demonstrated once, so the girl quickly saw the shadow of the consultant from Bai Shuiqiu's shooting skills.

　　 Jiufeng Shion, who was sitting next to him, smiled, did not answer immediately, but first glanced in a certain direction.

　　Across his eyes, it was the team from Wakaba High School.

Close to the back row, the leader of the team who had said "It's a pity" was using binoculars to watch the game in the arena intently. After a while, he seemed to feel something and turned his head to Narita. From the high school side, it happened to meet Jiufeng Shiyuan's sight.

　　 "Sorry, my students have mediocre qualifications, I made you laugh at Mr. Araya."

　　 Jiufeng Shion smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

　　 Originally from the distance between the two, it was difficult to pass the sound of Jiufeng Shion's decibels, but under the action of a certain special force, Mr. Aragani could hear it clearly.

　　 "Teacher Shion is really humble..."

Araya grinned reluctantly, but he refused to lose: "But this is only the first round of qualifiers. Our team’s Yoko Takeda also advanced with a score of four shots. The next few rounds are the real ones. When testing the level of archery, I hope that Teacher Ziyuan and classmate Bai Shui will not be prematurely proud, they need to know the truth that the arrogant soldier will lose."

"Ah."

　　 Shiramine Shion smiled, did not continue to talk to the barren valley, but turned around, and responded softly with Kurimi Sanae:

　　 "Well, Xiao Qiu had actually realized the realm of the'eyes of the heart' more than a month ago, but at that time it was only a first glimpse of the doorway, and now it has been stabilized, and he can control that realm freely with his own mind.

　　 What I said before, ‘break into the top ten’ or something, was actually just joking. Only the kid himself might take it seriously. I really think that there are strong players in this trial...

　　According to Xiaoqiu's current archery level, as long as she is willing to compare, the only ones who can serve as her opponents in this arena are probably the only ones sitting on the judges' bench.

　　 As for Takeda Yoko, guided by Araya, and seeded players from several other colleges and universities, the strength is not even as good as you a year ago. Wanting to compete for the first place is equivalent to being a car. So next, just wait for the good news.

Chapter 424

　　 "The judge seat..."

　　 Kurimi Sanae glanced subconsciously in the direction of the group of examiners on stage, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

As the head of the Kyudo Department, before Bai Shuiqiu entered the department, she had the most contact with Jiufeng Shion. She knew the level and vision of this consultant teacher very well. Although the wording sounds a bit exaggerated, since it can be used like this To give an evaluation in a tone is basically equivalent to stating a fact.

When 　　 Jiufeng Shion made an evaluation, he obviously picked himself out by default.

After all, her "Seventh Duan of Archery" has a lot of moisture, which is not enough to measure the true level of this old monster. With the archery skills accumulated over hundreds of years, compared with the fledgling human beings, it is somewhat bullying. ...

but……

　　 Even compared with those examiners, it is already amazing.

　　 It is not a simple role to be a judge in the county competition. The lowest rank is also above five.

Moreover, most of these judges have won relatively high rankings in grand competitions such as the "All Japan Kyudo Contest". Anyone who picks one out can hang up all the high school students present. Even the Kurimi Sanae who was the last champion...

　　 Her archery skills are already among the top among students, but compared with these adults, she is actually quite a bit behind.

　　 And even those judges, few can touch the realm of "mind eye".

　　 So, if Bai Shuiqiu's attainments have reached this level...

　　 Then, there is no suspense to win this trial.

　　 Regarding the fact that she was surpassed by a younger generation, Kurimi Sanae did not feel jealous, but felt a little happy:

　　 "Sure enough, I was right. If it was Xiaoqiu, he should be able to go further than me in the national competition...

　　 In the finals last year, the two classmates who lost to Kansai, although the main reason was that my practice was not at home and the skills were not as good as others, but after thinking about it, sometimes I still feel quite a pity. "

"maybe."

Jiufeng Shion smiled and said noncommittal: "Actually, with your qualifications, if you are willing to work hard, you can achieve higher achievements in the archery. But since the ambition is not here, it is just a hobby, it is unnecessary. It’s better to have such high demands for yourself."

　　"As for the two who entered the finals last year...

　　 One of them is just that luck is better than you, and the level of Kyudo may not exceed yours.

On the contrary, it is the student Liu Yuan from Kyoto, who is indeed a talented junior. He has already felt a little bit of the realm of "mind and eye". If Xiao Qiu and her play against her in this year's national competition... Maybe there will be a match. It's a wonderful game. I started to look forward to it. "

　　 "Yiu Yuan..."

　　 Kurimi Sanae seemed to think for a while, and then fell silent.

　　 just as the two were talking.

　　 The game on the field is still going on.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu's results in this round were also four shots, and he was promoted to the second round smoothly.
