Forever Young's
CHAPTER XVII Archery Competition
Tanio was waiting in the living room when he saw Nonanya coming out of the bedroom lethargic. He rushed over and asked frantically, "Miss! Is Miss sick?"
Nuna still felt her stomach churn, but she could not tell the truth to her personal assistant, as Tanio would definitely ask for permission to go to school and take her to the hospital immediately.
Today is the second day of Sports Week at Liver School. The race schedule will be held this morning, one of which is an archery race so that Nuna is unlikely to resign even though she is sick. He signed up and promised Rigel to participate. The thing he had learned since childhood was that the Pangestu Family abstained from reneging on promises.
"I'm fine, it's just a nightmare" Nuna said with her expressionless face.
Tanio believes in the lies of Nonanya. "Thank God that Miss isn't sick." Tanio felt relieved and said, "Miss, breakfast is prepared, Miss can go to the dining room now."
Nuna actually has no appetite but she has to keep breakfast to increase her stamina. If he followed his heart to refuse to eat, then his condition would get worse.
At the dinner table, Nuna took two loaves of fresh bread and applied chocolate jam. He also gave one piece to Nino who was sitting in front of him.
"Thank you, big brother," said Nino, biting her bread and smiling with satisfaction.
"Same - same." Nuna bit her bread and occasionally cleaned the bread crumbs in the corner of Nino's mouth.
After finishing breakfast, Nuna left for school.
Rigel had seen Nuna enter the courtyard and hand over her bag. "The spirit of the sheep, Nuna. You gotta get the stars, okay?"
Nuna hugs Rigel's bag and walks to class without responding to Rigel's remarks.
Rigel looked at the small back and sighed. He was getting used to talking to himself when faced with Nuna.
By 8am, the students had gathered in two different fields. One is the shooting range and the other is the field used for archery competitions. Their enthusiasm is higher towards shooting competitions so few watch archery races.
There are 48 participants in the High School Archery competition consisting of one representative in each class.
Of the 48 participants, they will compete 1vs 1 according to the draw displayed on the screen. So that there will be 24 participants who qualify for the semifinals which will be divided into 8 teams of 3 people to compete. And these 8 participants who qualified for the final to win champions one, two and three.
In one match session, participants will be given one minute to draw arrows three times.
Nuna who heard the race setting could only do the sitali breathing technique. He is not sure if his stomach will be able to last until the final.
"The twentieth match, Nuna Callista of Class XI MIA I against Yongki Prasetya of Class X MIA 8."
Nuna prepared in her position and picked up the arrow tools prepared by the committee.
"Participants Yongki will start first," said the referee and then give a cue - aba. "start."
Yongki picked up the arrow and pulled it firmly. It took him 45 seconds to throw all three arrows.
"Done. Next Nuna participant. Start."
Nuna picked up the arrow and shot it so fast that it only took her five seconds to throw three arrows.
Yongki who was beside him only gaped in disbelief at what he saw.
The jury read out their score, "Yongki got 9, 9, 10. Score a total of 28 points."
Applause from student X MIA 8 cheering for Yongki.
"Nuna gets 10, 10, 10. Score a total of 30 points."
Rigel, Joshua and Bimo who were watching cheered happily. The three of them forgot to tell their classmates that Nuna participated so there were only them as supporters. The three decide to save it as a surprise when Nuna gets a star later.
Nuna advanced to the semifinals and entered team seven.
"Fight team seven. Riski Son of class X IIS 4, Jasmine Flower of class XII MIA 6 and Nuna Callista of class XI MIA I."
Nuna and the other two people were already standing at their respective places.
"Participant Riski Putra will start first. Start."
Riski who saw the performance of Nuna, was nervous and not confident. He pulled his arrows trembling so that it missed the target.
"Riski's spirit! Go Riski, go Riski go!" Friends shouted support.
Riski managed her breathing and emotions so she finally managed to hit the target with two arrows left.
"Done. Next Nuna participant. Start."
Nuna maintained her tempo and finished in five more seconds.
"Done. Next participants Flowers Jasmine. Start."
Without being intimidated by Nuna's speed, Bunga calmly and carefully pulled a bow and shot an arrow. He completed all three arrows right in the sixtieth second.
"No papa, Ris."
"Lo's great."
"Lo's cool, Ris!"
Riski was relieved that her friends did not blame her and encouraged her.
"Nuna gets 10, 10, 10. Score a total of 30 points."
Rigel, Joshua and Bimo cheered again.
"Flower gets 9, 10, 10. Score a total of 29 points."
"A little more, Nga."
"Santuy, thank you for representing our class."
Flowers laughed and waved at his classmates. Then he turned to Nuna and smiled broadly, "Congratulations."
Nuna was polite. "Thank you, senior."
"Hopefully we'll be champions one in the final."
"Yes." Yeah."
Nuna won by one point higher and advanced to the final.
In the final of the archery race, eight participants lined up sideways. From the draw, Nuna got the last position to shoot.
The first player has started.
Suddenly the pain came again haunting Nuna's stomach. Nuna looked now at the second participant who was archery. There is still about 7 to 8 minutes to turn. Nuna tried to stay upright even though her breathing was unstable and cold sweat soaked her temples and back. Really, Nuna wants to go to the toilet now!
Rigel observed Nuna's face from a distance that looked pale. "Eh Jo, that's Nuna Rich want to faint anyway?"
Joshua squinted and was surprised, "Heh yes! What a woi."
"Where are we samperin now?" bimo asked doubtfully.
Finally it was time for Nuna to shoot. His head was dizzy and he decided to take the three arrows. He adjusted his breathing and focused his gaze. Nuna then shot out the three arrows simultaneously.
The audience, participants, referees and judges were stunned by Nuna's action and they were more shocked when they saw the first arrow right in the middle of the circle which was a score of 10. And the second arrow split the first arrow. And the last arrow exactly split the second arrow.
Brucks.
They regained their senses when they heard a loud noise like a heavy object hitting the ground violently.
"Mirgin!"
Rigel ran over to the unconscious Nuna. He held her up and asked frantically to Joshua and Bimo, "You guys have a car?"
"Gue take it," replied Bimo.
"Okay, let's go to the hospital now."
"Lo is the same Joshua waiting in the parking lot, I take the keys in class," said Bimo who rushed to class.
"Buruan, Bim," Rigel shouted before following Joshua to the car park.
