Lost Narrative Poetry

"Discovered something special?"

Ji Tangju's eyes narrowed, and then he asked with a smile -

"Can I ask, what kind of thing is it? Is it about archery?"

Xia Ran frowned slightly at first, and then said in a relaxed and casual tone: "Since I came to the Archery Club, I naturally studied archery. Otherwise, what else could I be, just a classmate."

"Ah, is that so? I'm sorry, I asked a rude question."

Ji Tangju was also stunned for a moment, and then he smiled happily.

"Also, just call me Ju... Senior Xia Ran, please come with me. We need to make some preparations in advance."

Do some preparation beforehand?

Xia Ran roughly understood what he was preparing for. He took a look at the kyudo club uniform that the other party was wearing. Although he hesitated a little, he did not refuse in the end... Anyway, it looked like a traditional design, short-sleeved, simple, and not too bad. trouble.

Besides, as an uninvited guest, it's best not to make too many personal requests.

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, he felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be alert all of a sudden, as if she had some kind of hostility towards him.

But in just a blink of an eye, he disappeared again... Maybe it was just an illusion. Did he really think too much? Or maybe the girl opposite reacted too quickly and concealed it too well?

But there is no reason at all. It was just the first time that Xia Ran and the other party met. They didn't even know their names before. There was no resentment between them. There was no grudge in the past and no enmity in recent days.

Wait, wait... this must be the first time we meet, right? Because he had always failed in this aspect, Xia Ran was not too sure.

…

…

Five minutes later.

"Very good, senior Xia Ran, your temperament is even more eye-catching than that of senior Daomori!"

Ji Tang Ju also looked at Xia Ran who had put on her training clothes, nodded slightly and praised him with a smile as bright as a flower.

Being praised by such a well-educated and beautiful lady like her really makes people feel like spring breeze.

"But having said that, do you really not plan to join the Kyudo Club? There are many beautiful girls in the Kyudo Club, but the number of boys is very small. Do you really not want to think about it anymore?"

"no thank you."

Xia Ran smiled and declined the girl's tempting proposal without any hesitation or hesitation.

He tried to move a bit and felt that the clothes on his body did not cause him any discomfort. At this time, the silent maid next to her also presented something like a handbag.

The official name of this thing seems to be "彽"? It is a kind of finger and wrist protection equipment put on the right hand to prevent the right hand from being injured when pulling strings. It is mostly made of deer leather.

After putting on the "彽", the position where the right thumb fits is called the "hat", which is usually made of solid materials. The purpose is to prevent the thumb joint from buckling during the process of holding the arrow and pulling the string, which will affect the arrow's performance. Castration even injured the fingers.

"Senior, I would like to ask, do you have any foundation in this area before?"

Seeing the obviously unfamiliar movements of the boy in front of him, Judou Juya pursed his lips slightly and asked in a rather gentle tone.

"No."

Xia Ran shook her head very honestly.

If I have to say it, there are actually some, but they really don’t have much experience, and they are also wild-simply put, they have several experiences of using bows and arrows, and without systematic training, they only know how to use bows and arrows. Draw the bow string and shoot the arrow.

It's that simple, and the memories related to it are nothing more than the misery of trying hard to hunt small animals in an unknown wilderness forest, but ultimately finding nothing... As for more specific knowledge and skills, there is quite a lack.

"In that case, if you don't mind, let me teach you...is that okay? Senior Xia Ran?"

Ji Tang Ju also raised a hand, gently stroked the golden hair behind the ear, and said with a smile.

Xia Ran was slightly startled. It was not that he was surprised by the other party's suggestion. This was a natural development. He was not expecting this and was not mentally prepared.

It's because the moment Jido Yuya's words fell, the prompt sound of the white space suddenly sounded in his consciousness——

"It is detected that you are entering the process of learning skills. The skill to be learned is confirmed as "Basic Archery". The relevant attributes meet the learning conditions. Do you need to consume a piece of causal crystal fragment to strengthen it? "

Ah, that's it.

If there are no relevant skill scrolls, you can also use other methods to quickly master skills. As long as the process of learning relevant skills is triggered, you can also use causal crystals to directly lock the future.

Thereby skipping the long process, saving a lot of time and energy costs, and directly mastering and becoming proficient in a certain skill.

Well, basic archery skills, a causal crystal fragment... It seems like this is a bit of a disadvantage. But forget it, it's not too different, just think of it as saving some time and cost, and it can also be used to explain my extraordinary talent later.

Xia Ran's mind turned quickly and he made a decision quickly, and a piece of his causal crystal fragment was directly deducted.

At the same time, he nodded and agreed: "I'll trouble you, Ju Ye-san..."

"Then the first thing to do is to find the appropriate bow size based on your height, Senior Xia Ran..."

The beautiful girl with blond hair and twin tails smiled softly, walked to the side and picked up the long bow for practice.

"If you are a girl, the general recommendation for entry is 6KG to 9KG, and for boys, the general recommendation is 9KG to 12KG..."

Xia Ran listened carefully and took a look at his basic attributes. Fortunately, his strength attribute reached 5 points.

Although it is a standard value, it also means that he has the strength of a normal adult male, so there should be no problem. If it were 4 o'clock, it might be a little embarrassing.

It is said that the more the basic attributes increase, the greater the increase in enhancement will be and it is difficult to calculate. There is no stable frame of reference that can be used as a comparison... It is very likely that when there are hundreds of attribute values, one attribute value represents the power of--

Compared with single-digit attribute values, all attributes combined are several times stronger.

However, at least when the attribute value is close to 5 points, it can still be calculated, because this value is the default "standard" for white space... In other words, every 1 point less than the standard is weak. About 20 percent?

——It is estimated to be about the same. Anyway, if it is lower by 1 point, it means that the strength is at least 20% weaker. If that is the case, he will probably have to shamelessly ask the girl to use girls' standards.

"...Kyudo is standing Zen. Hitting the target is not the ultimate pursuit, but to achieve a high degree of harmony and unity among body, mind, and bow and arrow..."

"...This is wrong. Senior Xia Ran, please stand here and face the target. Move your feet like this. After completing the basic steps, then stabilize your upper body..."

"The preparation is very good. I raise the bow and arrow in the right position above my head. No, do it again...very good. Then I hold the bow with one hand and pull the string with the other, open my hands to the left and right, and pull the bow and arrow to the level of my eyes..."

Jido Juya seems to know a lot about kyudo, probably because he has practiced it for a long time.

Therefore, her explanations are very simple and easy to understand, and she is very efficient in terms of guidance. Xia Ran feels that what she says is easy to understand and clear, and she often grasps the key points quite easily.

He concentrates, concentrates, and is highly focused on learning skills.

He didn't pay attention to the two girls beside him for a moment, he was completely absorbed in it, as if the only remaining objects in his world were the shooting range in front of him and the exquisite and beautiful voices next to him.

The target in the near range is about 28 meters away from the shooter, and the diameter of the target is 36 centimeters. Behind the target, there is a sloping hill wall called " Antu”.

Its main function seems to be to prevent the arrows from damaging the facilities behind it... After all, no one can guarantee that every arrow fired will hit the target exactly.

Xia Ran also missed frequently at the beginning, and the arrows he shot had no idea where they were deflected.

——If this is a battle, then the enemy had better stand directly opposite where he is aiming and do not move. Otherwise, he may be shot in any direction...

But it didn't take long, or it should be said that within a very short period of time, the accuracy of the arrows he shot began to rise linearly, and at an unscientific growth rate, it quickly approached the realm described by the word "always hitting the target". .

And it doesn’t hit the target just by grazing the edge. Basically, every arrow hits the red heart hard and accurately!

"..."

"..."

The maid with a cold face next to her was also slightly moved, and the sweet smile of Yuya Katō who was giving instructions from the side became even stiffer unknowingly.

She even wondered if she was dreaming, or was the boy in front of her pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

No, that's not right. When I first started learning, the baseless clumsiness and stupid mistakes the other party showed were all natural. No matter how good your acting skills are, they shouldn't be this good.

Moreover, the subsequent growth can also be seen as a step-by-step process of change. Although it is not gradual, it is extremely fast, so fast that it is unbelievable...

Well, it’s not unacceptable if you think about it carefully. As long as your learning ability is strong enough, it is understandable that you can quickly master and use the most basic archery skills.

Ordinary people may need to rely on a lot of practice and practice thousands of times until they are accurate and satisfactory... But there are some people who are extraordinary. What can be done about this?

Some people listen to the teacher explain the formula once in class, and no matter how this type of questions changes in the future, they will be easily solved...

Someone has read countless question books and used several kilograms of ink. It is still the same type of question, but the numbers have just changed, and he does not know how to solve it...

——What's the point in this?
