This is a long bow made of bamboo. The bow body is covered with a layer of black lacquer, and the handle is also printed with a gold-plated cherry blossom pattern. A glance is precious.
The biggest feature of Hebow is that the upper head is larger and the lower head is smaller, and the handle is not in the middle of the bow, but in the golden ratio of the upper and lower strings of the Hebow.
In the case of the Nakano Ryoko inch extension (227cm arc), the handle is about 86.7cm above the arc bend.
"Let's try." Nakano Ryoko smiled and said, "Do you remember what Sami said about the "Eight Shooting Techniques"? "
Kato Yusuke nodded.
So the two walked to the front of the firing range together, where five wooden planks were installed, with the words "Ichiban" to "Wufan" written on it, representing the positions of the five shooters as they shot.
Taking the Waya handed over by Nakano Ryoko, Kato Yusuke placed a bow on the arrow, pulled the bowstring to the full moon, aimed at the target 28 meters away, and then released an arrow.
"Ah, I failed..." Sami, who was quietly observing from behind, could not help his voice.
But he was right, the arrow hit the grass.
Hmm, something's wrong with her posture. "Nakano Ryoko pondered and said:" Kato-kun, lend me a bow. "
He took the bow from Kato Yusuke, with a warm smile on his face, "I'll show you again, please watch my movements."
"it's good."
Nakano Ryoko first walked a bit further back, then took a deep breath and straightened her back. With a bow in his left hand and an arrow in the right, he walked step by step into the shooting range and sat down on his knees.
Standing bow, swivel bow, and shooting arrow.
After which, he stood up, stretched his legs forward and backward, held a bow and rope with both hands while raising the bow above his head, and finally kept the bow slightly below his line of sight.
The whole process is smooth and natural, and each movement is a perfect demonstration of oriental aesthetic philosophy.
Kato Yusuke glanced at him in surprise.
According to recent testing, the bow's drag force should have been 22 kilograms, and Ryoko Nakano not only can pull it off completely, but also has a very stable hand. This great technique cannot be mastered overnight.
After 5 seconds
it was accompanied by a crisp sound, and a bullseye in the distance from Yasaka.
The remains of the string sound were still left in my ear, like an echoing radiance, for three days.
“Do you see clearly?” Nakano Ryoko turned around and asked with a smile.
He stood towards the backlight, with a kind of dusty smell on his body, a feeling of cleansing his soul.
"It's amazing." Kato Yusuke cried sincerely.
There was also applause from behind.
"Senpai is so handsome!"
The members of the archery club all looked at Ryoko Nakano with longing.
In such a situation, the girl in charge spoke slowly.
"The "positive shot should hit" in archery is not because the shot is accurate, but as long as the posture is correct, it will definitely hit the target. "
"Remember this and try again." Nakano Ryoko returns Kato Yusuke with Yusuke.
"it's good."
…
Stepping foot, repairing body, preparing bow, lifting bow, and opening bow, carefully recall Ryoko Nakano's movements just now, and maintain full concentration.
As the momentum and power reached its peak, Kato Yusuke unleashed this arrow.
squashed
Kazuya was on target.
Sound of winding strings.
"Congratulations, Kato-kun." Nakano Ryoko showed a smile, picked up the binoculars and looked off into the distance.
"...Huh uh?" He whispered, "Gongya.. can't see?"
“Hei~! I'll look for him!” Sami volunteered, and ran out without waiting for Ryoko Nakano to answer.
After a while
I saw him standing beside a pile of targets waving his hands to this side, and said loudly: "I found him—!"
Then he bowed
“Any, did you hear the target voice?” muttered Sammy while trying to lift Kazuya off the ground.
"Wear, skip—!?!?"
A sharp female voice echoed in the dojo.
Nakano Ryoko's pupils shrank, and then she heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's surprising." He looked at Kato Yusuke and said, "Kato-kun seems to be very talented in kyudo, do you want to consider joining the club?"
The wise general understood what was going on and invited him over.
Kato Yusuke looked at his palm, realizing his feelings just now, and his expression was a little hesitant.
After a while, he sighed and shook his head slowly but firmly, "Sorry, senpai, I can't join the ministry."
"I don't want to, but I can't."
Nakano Ryoko nodded while thinking, and then showed a gentle smile, "Understood, but you are still welcome to come and play here anytime."
Kato Yusuke nodded, then turned around and left the archery department.
Just like destiny happens once in the same life. The shots were like "meetings" and a once-in-a-lifetime "parting.
As a pragmatist, for Yusuke Kato, what he wanted to do was not the way to prioritize matters.

Thursday, Lunch Break, Faculty Office
"So, what are you doing...?" Katsuya Nakamura asked with a wry smile.
Kato Yusuke frowned, "I don't quite understand what you mean, teacher."
"Football, basketball, badminton, athletics, judo... Consultant teachers from almost all sports clubs have come to me, and more than once."
Nakamura Katsu said with his fingers crossed.
"Thank you, I haven't been able to live all morning, at least tell me what happened."
"Select the club." Kato Yusuke said lightly.
"that's her?"
"that's it."
"Then why do they insist you join?"
"I don't know." Kato Yusuke was speechless, "Is there a kyudo club here?"
"Archery department?" Katsuya Nakamura raised her eyebrows, "It seems not."
"Oh, that's why they're too weak."
"Gdh..." Hasumi Kanoko closed her mouth and chuckled: "It's very popular, Kato-kun."
"Teachers are also a little curious about which club you will choose."
A silk white shirt with a tie on the neck and long brown hair dangling on the chest, has the tenderness of a girl and the charm of an adult woman.
—A unique charm of women over 20 years old.
"I haven't thought about the club." Kato Yusuke answered Hasumi-sensei's question, "But I will make a decision as soon as possible."
Hearing what he said, Hasumi Kanako waved her hand.
"Ah, teacher doesn't mean to urge you, it's just pure curiosity, don't force yourself too hard?"
Compared to the advice, there seemed to be more warmth than caring in his words.
“So.” Kato Yusuke nodded and turned his gaze back to the face of his class leader, “Master Nakamura, I will answer on time tomorrow. If nothing else, I'll come back first.”
Looking at the time, it was almost time to enter the classroom, so Katsuya Nakamura nodded.
"Then come back."
Kato Yusuke nodded and walked out the door, at the last second before leaving the office.
"Hey, Kato."
"Any more, teacher?"
Katsu Nakamura opened the bottle cap, took a sip of coffee, looked at him and said.
"I'll reject the previous club for you first. If you change your mind, remember to come to me."
"it's good."
