Tokyo: Something's wrong with my label

Chapter 59 Shoko Watanabe is full of confidence
  Opening the door, in the quiet room, a girl stood in front of the archery target, her tall figure showing her unique charm.

The bangs on her forehead gently brushed her eyes, highlighting her bright and lively eyes.

The deep eyes reveal determination and concentration, shining with sharpness and persistence towards the goal.

It was completely different from the frivolous and free-spirited person I saw in the student union room yesterday.

The bow string moved slightly.

The next moment, the arrow shot through the air, entered the bull's eye, and sank into it.

Watanabe Shoko nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and looked at Aragaki and the others who entered the room.

Her skin as white as snow revealed a trace of healthy rosiness, and the slightly raised corners of her lips were slightly frivolous, but she carried unparalleled confidence.

But in terms of confidence, Shoko Watanabe is the most confident person Yasu Aragaki has ever seen.

He is still above the distinguished Fujiwara Mashiro.

Yes, how can a girl who is loved by fate lose her confidence?

However, if a girl who has never experienced setbacks is no longer favored by fate, where will she fall into?
  "You came?"

Watanabe Shoko's lips curled up slightly.

"Hurry up, you've been waiting for a long time."

"Come on, come on, let's compete with me."

Watanabe Shoko handed the bow and arrow to Aragaki Yasushi with a very enthusiastic attitude.

Aragaki took a look and saw that the long bow handed over by Watanabe Shoko was a Japanese bow.

Rather than the recurve bow that is more commonly used in archery.

The bow is more than two meters long, and the upper arc accounts for two-thirds of the total bow length. It can be regarded as the largest bow in the world in terms of size and length alone.

Due to the structure of the bow, which is long at the top and short at the bottom, it makes it difficult for the user to balance when holding the bow.

To use a bow accurately, you must have good skills. You must master the vibration amplitude of the bow when shooting an arrow, predict the reaction force generated by the length difference between the upper and lower arcs of the bow, and calculate the direction of the arrow and the amount of force that should be applied.

And this is one of the reasons why the new students of the Kyudo Club have to train for a long time.

Yasushi Aragaki rarely comes into contact with this type of longbow. The last time he saw a wagyu was when he was in junior high school. He was invited to the shrine of Morii-senpai's house, and the demon-breaking bow was used in special rituals in the shrine.

Watanabe Shoko's bright eyes looked thoughtfully at Aragaki Yasu's hands holding the bow.

She could see Aragaki's unfamiliarity.

Is it because he is not familiar with bows, or is it just a boast that he is good at archery?

Shoko Watanabe couldn't tell.

"Do you need to get familiar with it?"

"It seems that Aragaki-san is very unfamiliar with Wagon. Let's give it a try first, otherwise don't be dissatisfied if you lose."

Shoko Watanabe joked.

Aragaki Jing nodded: "Let me try it."

Then, Aragaki walked to the archery area, aimed at the target not far away, and held the bow string tightly with his long and strong fingers.

The next moment, the arrow flew through the air and hit the target.

Is it really just bragging?
  Shoko Watanabe stared at the target.

With her eyesight, she could naturally see that Aragaki Yasu was unfamiliar.

It's not just the unfamiliarity caused by not being used to the bow, but the unfamiliarity caused by not knowing much about archery.

This made Shoko Watanabe a little disappointed and even a little angry.

Because in her opinion, Aragaki Jing deceived her feelings.

And at the next moment, Aragaki Jing's second arrow also shot into the target.

Shoko Watanabe's pupils shrank, and there was a bit of surprise in her eyes.

"Straight in the heart."

"And this method..."

"It's actually somewhat similar to me?"

Watanabe Shoko was surprised to find that with just the second arrow, Aragaki Yasushi's archery level had already reached an impressive level.

Although she is far from a genius like her who has been immersed in archery for several years, she can already compare with some senior students in the archery club.

This made Shoko Watanabe begin to doubt whether her guess was right or wrong.    Perhaps I made a mistake?

After all, even Fujiwara-chan couldn't learn to master archery so quickly.

Shoko Watanabe recalled the time when Fujiwara Mashiro was learning kyudo and archery.

Fujiwara Mashiro mastered it very quickly, much faster than most people, even faster than she could learn.

However, compared with the Aragaki Jing in front of him, there is still a huge difference.

At the very least, Fujiwara Mashiro would have to study under her guidance for a long time before he could reach the level of Aragaki Yasushi's second arrow.

飒。

A sharp sound.

Aragaki Yasu's third arrow shot out.

Watanabe Shoko was surprised to find that Aragaki Yasu's archery skills had reached the level of an ordinary Kyudo club master.

Is it really just getting familiar with the bow?

Shoko Watanabe thought so.

Aragaki stopped, put down his bow, and looked at the virtual panel in front of him.

At this moment, a new label was slowly forming.

【Archery Mastery】

Isn’t it [proficient in archery]?

Aragaki had an idea.

But thinking about it, he didn't understand the etiquette of archery, so he could only shoot accurately.

Therefore, what is condensed is [Archery Mastery], not [Kyudo Mastery].

"How about it, my skills are pretty good."

Yasushi Aragaki looked at Shoko Watanabe who was standing aside.

"generally."

Watanabe Shoko pouted, quite unconvinced.

"There are still two brushes."

Shoko Watanabe made a more pertinent comment.

Then he urged: "Okay, come on, come and compete."

Aragaki Jing nodded: "Okay, okay, let's give it a try."

Yasushi Aragaki stepped aside, gave up his position to Shoko Watanabe, and handed the bow in his hand to Shoko Watanabe.

Shoko Watanabe didn't move. She turned to face the Kyudo boy who was whispering to Yuta Kurokawa not far away.

"Ogino, go clean the archery target."

The young man named Ogino nodded, cleaned the arrows on the target, and calibrated the position of the target.

"I came first."

Watanabe Shoko said something to Aragaki Yasu, took the Japanese bow from Aragaki Yasu's hand, walked to the position he gave up, and concentrated on nodding arrows and drawing the bow.

She was wearing a neat archery uniform, and her arrow-cocking posture was quite elegant. Her white top and black long skirt highlighted her tall figure, while the dark breast protector restrained her towering mountains.

Her long black hair was simply tied up, but a few strands of bangs were left hanging lightly in front of her forehead, adding a touch of playfulness and frivolity.

Watanabe Shoko's slender fingers held the bow string tightly, mastering the Japanese bow in her hand.

When the string is fully drawn, Shoko Watanabe's body and bow reach a golden ratio.

The next moment, only a soft whooshing sound was heard.

The arrow pierced the air and shot steadily into the center of the red heart.

Shoko Watanabe put away her bow and turned around, glanced at Yasu Aragaki provocatively, and then handed the bow in her hand to Yasu Aragaki.

"It's time."

Shoko Watanabe is so confident that she is already planning to open champagne at halftime.
