I’m a Witch In Dongying

After the group got off the tram, they came to the gymnasium abruptly.

Because it was the final, tens of thousands of auditoriums were filled with people early on.

Even the rest areas allocated to major colleges and universities have a lot more people than usual.

For these Kyodo practitioners, this game is a rare opportunity to observe and see the gap between themselves and the national champion at close range, so even those players who were eliminated a few days ago are rushing. Come here, waiting for the final day of the game to start.

In addition, the support team of Narita High School has almost all the members once again.

When Bai Shuiqiu first stepped into the hall, he caught Keiko Kandai, Asuka Hyuga and others from the stands not far away, cheering on her.

"Come on, Qiujiang."

"I will."

After tens of meters apart, Bai Shuiqiu spoke to Keiko Kandaji with a lip-synching smile, then went to the dressing room to change into the archery suit and prepare for the warm-up before going on the court.

"In other words, Teacher Shion, can you find out who are spiritual practitioners from the audience present?"

Bai Shuiqiu suddenly thought of this question.

The meetings with Asakura and Hojo in the past few days reminded her of the subtle spiritual power fluctuations she felt in the "mind-eye" state on the opening ceremony. Until now, she hadn't figured out who the owner of that breath was. Although she wouldn't be worried about it, she was still a little curious about it.

Jiufeng Shiyuan shook his head: "My perception ability is not stronger than that of the wind raccoon next to you, let alone in this kind of popular gymnasium. It was originally the most suitable place for monsters and human practitioners to hide themselves, even if it is. It is impossible to accurately locate a person's position with a compass instrument dedicated to detecting spiritual power."

"Yes…"

Bai Shuiqiu just asked casually.

After getting a negative answer from Jiufeng Ziyuan, she shook her head and pressed down the distracting thought.

After waiting for half an hour, the game finally started.

Before entering the venue, Bai Shuiqiu gave himself a painkiller in advance.

Although the chance of dysmenorrhea in the game is not great, this game is more important than the previous few days, and it can be regarded as one of the primary goals of this trip to Kyoto. After working hard for so long, Bai Shuiqiu could only get an anticlimactic result in the last game. In order to avoid the influence of the menstrual period, it is always right to make more preparations.

"So…"

"I'll go up first."

After taking a deep breath, Bai Shuiqiu held and lunged into the arena.

Eight contestants from different schools and regions stood in front of the judging platform. After saluting the judges and the audience, starting from the one on the far left, they stood up and shot arrows one by one.

The number of arrows in the first round was ten.

Among the eight players present, four consecutively made mistakes and were immediately eliminated. The remaining four people kept their hit rate of ten arrows and ten hits and entered the playoffs. Specifically, everyone shoots another arrow in turn, and the person who makes the mistake step down until the final winner is determined.

In the past playoffs, the winner was usually determined around three arrows.

Even if the players are generally strong, the fourth arrow is almost the same. After all, the average age of the contestants in the IH competition is about sixteen years old. They are just a group of high school students. They also don't have the strong psychological qualities of professional trainers, and it is difficult to keep them from making mistakes.

Can…

This time, there seemed to be a little accident.

To be more precise, the accident was centered on Bai Shuiqiu and Ryu Yuan Mika.

By the time the playoff reached the fourth arrow, all six players except the two of them had been eliminated. But this game is still going on. This scene of the encounter between the two powers can easily arouse the emotions of the audience. Some experts who have a little understanding of Kyudo have already begun to whisper:

"Wh, what's the situation?"

"This is already the fourteenth arrow. Let's forget Mika Ryumoto, but even the first-year student at Narita High School never made a mistake... Are these two girls really just amateur-level high school students?"

"Even last year's game, the winner has already been decided by this time..."

In the sound of Xixi Suosuo's discussion, Bai Shuiqiu and Liu Yuan Meixia shot the sixteenth arrows in turn.

Then the eighteenth arrow, the twentieth arrow...

Until now, the movements of the two girls are still rock solid, and there is no sign of abating in their demeanor and aura.

From this point of view, instead of coming to an end, this final final has a taste of just beginning.

I don’t know when it started. The entire stadium has gradually quieted down. All the cheers have disappeared. Tens of thousands of spectators watched the game images in the stadium or projected on the big screen from different angles, and their heartbeats became more and more. quick:

"Impossible... Even a professional archery player can't hit so many arrows in a row in such a tense competition! Are all female high school students in this class a monster?!"

"Is this really just an IH competition, not a long shot from Sanjusangendo?"

-The so-called "Sanjusangendo" is actually a Tendai sect temple located in Kyoto City, which is famous for enshrining one thousand Guanyin statues.

Around the middle of the 12th century, Sanjusangendo formed a custom called "Long-shooting Festival", that is, in the temple with a depth of 120m, contemporary famous archers stood at the northern end and pulled toward the southern end. The bow shoots arrows from six o'clock in the morning to six o'clock the next morning, and finally compares the high and low with the hit rate within 24 hours.

In modern times, the "long-range shooting festival" has become a festival that symbolizes coming-of-age rites. Every mid-January, a large number of archery enthusiasts and young people who are about to turn 20 will come to the 33rd. Tang, wearing a kimono with bow and arrows, to celebrate his adulthood.

It is said that the highest record of the "Long Shooting Festival" was held by Hachiro Wasadai in the 17th century. The latter shot 8,132 arrows in one day, and the hit rate was as high as 62%, which is amazing.

In terms of quantity, the two dozen arrows of Shirasuiqiu and Mika Yanagi are completely incomparable with the eight thousand arrows of Hachiro Sadai.

But the problem is that the outcome of the IH competition is judged by the shooting percentage.

Even a professional archery practitioner can't make dozens of arrows in a row, or even hundreds of arrows without making mistakes. And this kind of scene appears in the game of high school students, it is unique.

The game is still going on.

Twenty-six arrows, thirty arrows...

At this time, even Bai Shuiqiu was secretly surprised.

This girl named Mika Ryu... is so strong?

No wonder I was able to beat Kurimi Sanae in last year's game. If she was replaced by her who was a few months ago, she would have been eliminated just like the other players.

But...

When he passed by, Bai Shuiqiu could see clearly that a layer of fine sweat was secreted from the tip of Liu Yuan Meixia’s nose. Although the hand that draws the bow is still very stable, he has already had a significant physical exhaustion. The position where the arrow hits on the target also began to move to the periphery of the target from the center of the bull's-eye at the beginning.

Although the exercise of **** seems to be slow, it actually consumes a lot of energy.

Bai Shuiqiu’s bow technique was constantly honed in the process of fighting against demons and evil spirits. In addition, she has two lifetimes of human experience, and her spiritual power is more than double that of her peers, and this power is in Cannot be trained in the training ground.

Moreover, her physique is much higher than that of ordinary people. Both of these advantages are not possessed by Liu Yuan Meixia.

Therefore, the result of this game is actually doomed.

The only suspense is how long Ryu Yuan Mika can hold on.

finally…

When the playoff reached the 36th arrow, Ryu Yuanmei Xara's fingers trembled, and she missed the target for the first time in this match.

The outcome has been divided.

"call…"

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Shuiqiu let out a long sigh of relief and saluted the audience, before closing his bow and turning around.

Up to now, this round of competition has lasted for more than two hours. Even if it was her, she felt a little tired. If she hadn't eaten the painkiller before she was about to play, she might not be in a better state than Liu. Yuan Meixia is much better. But anyway, all this is finally settled.

"Accepted."

Bai Shuiqiu yawned to the opposite Liu Yuan Mika.

This sentence is sincere and sincere, able to achieve thirty-five arrows, this girl’s archery level has far exceeded her peers, if she joins the archery club after graduation, she may be a Queen’s Cup or even the Olympic Games. Seed players, as last year's champion can be described as well-deserved.

"..."

Yuanmei Natsuya pursed her lips, the expression on her face was a little gloomy, but she returned a salute to her, and said simply, "No, I am not as skilled as others. Narita High School has been able to cultivate Kurimi Sanae and you one after another. The genius of, indeed cannot be explained by a word of luck, I am willing to bow down."

While the two exchanged briefly, the entire Shimadzu Stadium finally sounded like a landslide and tsunami.

The whole venue seemed to be boiling, applause and cheers were endless, countless flashes came to the judging stand, and the violent glare made Bai Shuiqiu a little bit unable to open his eyes.

Next, several judges on the judging stand announced the results of the competition on the spot.

The figures of Bai Shuiqiu and Liu Yuan Meixia were cut onto the big screen of the gymnasium. The two beautiful faces and the faint smile on their faces evoked a shout.

Then there is the award ceremony.

As a sports competition for all Dongying high school students, the rules of the IH competition are still very formal. The top three men's and women's groups have special trophies, medals, and awards—in fact, they are awards, but they are more solemn than ordinary awards. a little.

It’s worth mentioning that the champion’s medal seems to be gilded...

When he got the medal, Bai Shuiqiu tried to take a bite and couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while. But even if the thing is really gilded, the gold content is not very high, and there is no high collection value. It is estimated to be If you can't sell it, you can only keep it for yourself as a souvenir.

Or, as a gift to a friend, it is also a good choice...

Mime private 505

As for trophies and awards, Bai Shuiqiu didn't take it seriously.

The main purpose of these two things is to give them to the old monsters or Ogata and hang them in the honor room of the Kyudo Club to motivate younger generations.

After the awards ceremony, there is a routine photo session.

At this time, Ogata and others came to the stage one after another, surrounded by Bai Shuiqiu, raised aloft the trophy representing the national championship, and took a few group photos.

Then the support team from Narita High School took pictures on stage.

There were even some people who didn't know, who also came to the podium and asked for a group photo. In line with the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiley person, Bai Shuiqiu also responded politely and stood there as a background board for a while. After dozens of photos were taken, the polite smile on her face was a little bit overwhelming.

On such occasions, it is natural for reporters to come over for interviews.

However, Ogata seemed to have been instructed by the old monster, and soon stood up as the "acting minister" and talked to the microphone and the camera, presumably he had written the manuscript in advance.

A director from Narita High School also came forward.

This director originally came here with Keiko Kandaro and others, as the person in charge, presided over the matters related to this school trip, but he did not expect that he just caught up with the final of the IH competition and witnessed the birth of a national champion. So temporarily changed the itinerary, jumped out as a representative of the school, and began to accept interviews with reporters.

In any case, college competition is an important part of the school's honor. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it can also make a long face in front of the national media and bring a little popularity to Narita High School.

With these two coming forward, the absence of the consultant Jiufeng Shion made it less striking.

For Bai Shuiqiu, this can be regarded as saving her a lot of trouble, after all, she has not been very good at dealing with such scenes.

After symbolically speaking a few high-sounding words in front of the media, Bai Shuiqiu pretended to be exhausted and drive away in advance.

This reason is very good.

Because the game just now has lasted more than two hours, for an ordinary female high school student, it consumes no less than a 10,000-meter long-distance race. Even if reporters from various media want to dig out first-hand information, they are not embarrassed to let Bai Shuiqiu drag his "tired body" to do interviews.

So soon, Bai Shuiqiu left the Shimadzu Stadium with Keiko Kandaji and others.

Then, surrounded by a large group of reporters and flashing lights, he hurriedly got in the car and left.

"call…"

Until sitting in the carriage, Bai Shuiqiu let out a long sigh of relief: "These guys are so crazy, I'm afraid I thought they were interviewing a star if I didn't know."

When she was on the arena just now, because of the indoor air-conditioning, she didn't feel too hot yet. On the contrary, the small road squeezed out of the reporters made her sweat. There is a feeling of lingering fears.

"After all, it is the national champion of the IH competition, and it is almost the same as the sports star. If it were the champion of Koshien, the scene would be ten times more frenetic than this."

Keiko Kashiro said with a smile.

"Anyway, it's finally over..."

Bai Shuiqiu touched the sweat on the tip of his nose and leaned against the soft seat.

So far, the goal of this trip to Kyoto has been half accomplished.

Next, you can plan to charge Mingleiyu.

And... about the eater.

Although the old monster said that these things will be investigated by her, it is impossible for Bai Shuiqiu to stand by and wait like this. If the ghost clan who appeared in Tanglang Town were really those on the Dajiangshan, then this storm It will never calm down easily. In addition, the Hojo family is also staring at her now, keeping in touch with the Asakura family, it is still necessary.

"that…"

While Bai Shuiqiu was thinking about things in his heart, Keiko Kamdai who was next to him suddenly said, "Qiujiang, do you have any travel plans for the next few days?"

"Ok?"

Bai Shuiqiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but let's take a break first. After all, I have been tired all morning today, and I haven't..."

-The menstrual period is not over yet.

Bai Shuiqiu was embarrassed to say this, but Keiko Kanda clearly understood.

"That said, after having been busy for so long, it's time to take a good rest..."

Keiko Kashiro nodded first, then thought about it, and said softly, "But tomorrow night, it will be the aftermath of the Gion Festival. There will be a very lively Xiaoshan event. Even if you don't participate in other events, this will always be I'm going to have a look, maybe you can still see the fireworks set off."

The fireworks in summer can be regarded as a reserved activity of Dongying.
