The gust of wind stirred the raindrops, making the area pierced by the arrows seem as if it had been punctured for a moment.
A series of bullseyes.
Everyone finally relaxed from their tense state.
Sakurai Fumiko held up the scoreboard, smiling as she raised her hand, "Hey~ 44 hits, good work everyone."
Uesugi Sakura sat directly on the resting seat at the back, leaning the bamboo bow against the stand beside him.
On the shooting line, Sugita Shuhei placed down the bamboo bow with his right hand, turned, and said, "Everyone's breath synchronization still has some issues."
"Breath synchronization (Iki-ai)" — refers to the coordination of breathing between archers, used to maintain the rhythm of shooting.
"It's probably because we're too tired; after all, we just shot 100 arrows," Hirata Masanobu spoke in a rather exhausted tone.
Hearing the number 100, Uesugi Sakura instinctively rotated his shoulders to ease the soreness.
He couldn't bear this level of exhaustion every day.
