It only took an hour to drive to the hot spring hotel that Akashi had booked for her.

Asuka bid farewell to Mutsu no Kami and, following the receptionist who had been notified in advance, went to her private Japanese-style room.

In fact, Akashi would book the entire hotel for every joint training session.

However, this time he also sought the opinions of others.

Aomine and Kise, unaware of their good fortune, found it too boring to have only eight people in the hotel.

The others said they didn't care and were fine with anything.

Therefore, he only booked three rooms.

Momoi Asuka and her two friends each had their own room, while the six of them slept together in a huge Japanese-style room.

Asuka quickly tidied her suitcase and backpack before heading to the archery dojo that the staff had just introduced.

She arrived too early and had to go play by herself.

It's been a long time since I've drawn a real bow. Drawing it alone is just right!

The archery dojo is located at the back entrance of the hot spring inn, and it is built according to the specifications and model of a regular archery dojo.

Before Asuka arrived, a boy dressed in a kyudo uniform was already practicing in the kyudo arena.

The boy looked young, with a still somewhat immature face, a slender build, and a tall, upright posture.

It looks much taller than a flying bird.

Innocent Asuka: ? ? ? Why are you suddenly bringing up Asuka-sama?

Since it was a last-minute decision, Asuka didn't bring any archery-related equipment and could only borrow a bow and arrows from the archery school's equipment room.

The shared bow was not comfortable to hold; its usability could even be described as poor.

But who told her to bring nothing? Someone who didn't bring any equipment has no right to complain about the only item they can borrow.

The bird walked to a point in the middle of the dojo.

In Kyudo, there is a set of etiquette for drawing the bow.

The black-haired girl nodded slightly in salute, holding an arrow in her right hand and a bow in her left, and dragged the longbow forward to the designated position.

After kneeling down, turn your body to the right.

With the longbow pointing vertically to the ground, extend your right hand next to your left hand holding the bow. Use your left hand to select the arrow closer to the bow from the two arrows. While your left hand grips the bow handle, place your index and middle fingers a few centimeters in front of the arrowhead.

Wearing a brown glove, the right hand pushes the arrow nock near the bowstring and secures the string with the nock.

Once everything was done, I stood up and found my place.

With eyes fixed on the distant wooden target, prepare the bow and raise it to the appropriate position.

Slowly draw the longbow to its full length, aim, and then release it in an instant.

The long arrow left the bowstring, stirring up a gentle breeze that ruffled the hair on the bird's forehead.

The arrow slashed through the air.

A sharp string melody rang in his ears, and before Nikaido's eyes appeared a verdant bamboo forest, with towering bamboo leaves swaying in the wind and making rustling sounds.

The arrow was firm and powerful, hitting the bullseye directly.

A string sound I've never heard before.

This person is extremely strong.

Nikaido pursed his lips, prepared his bow, and drew the string to its fullest extent.

The arrows that flew out also hit the bullseye.

The bird found it amusing, so it nocked the last long arrow onto the bowstring.

When you release the arrow, the second arrow also flies straight toward the bullseye.

After hitting the first arrow, it didn't stop; instead, it split the arrow in half and eventually stuck it into the target.

The scene was so shocking that Nikaido's hand trembled slightly.

He had never seen such a scene before.

Modern bows and arrows are no longer weapons of war; they emphasize accuracy and are used as the judging criterion in competitions.

But the archery style that Asuka learns is different; precision is important, but power is equally important.

Whether an arrow pierces the heart but is not fatal, or an arrow pierces the body but is not fatal, both are considered unqualified.

"What do you think of..." Nikaido unconsciously used a respectful tone when addressing someone who was clearly younger than him, "...the methods of the Bube faction?"

In current archery competitions, the ceremonial archery method of drawing the bow is widely used, and the bow drawing method that Asuka just adopted is also the ceremonial archery method.

He regretted asking the question as soon as he asked it.

It's meaningless; the Wubu faction is just a method that isn't recognized by everyone.
