The opportunity for further progress was in Yugdomilenia, where he learned archery skills from Chiron. Compared to Li, Shirou Emiya was better at killing.

He was more focused on actual combat, and there was no need for him to learn Kyudo and its etiquette afterwards. After all, Shirou Emiya didn’t even have the time to participate in Kyudo competitions.

As for the eight sections of archery in Kyudo, Emiya Shirou only knew about them but had never learned them.

If this were a formal kyudo competition, the outcome between Emiya Shirou and Matou Shinji would still be unknown.

After all, in the eighth section of shooting, Shirou Emiya will basically not score too many points. Even if he hits the bull’s eye, it will be difficult for him to surpass Shinji Matou in points.

So in reality, Emiya Shirou has surpassed Matou Shinji by a lot in archery, and it can even be said that he has reached a level that ordinary people cannot reach, but he is far inferior to Matou Shinji in Kyudo.

Is this a trap set by Matou Shinji for Emiya Shirou?

In fact, Shinji Matou didn’t think so much at that time. He just simply wanted to embarrass Shirou Emiya, and he didn’t have so many thoughts on designing this or that.

If I were to use one word to describe Shinji Matou, it would be “expressive”. His thoughts and emotions are all written on his face.

“bring it on–!”

As he spoke, Shinji walked to the bow rack, picked up the carbon fiber bow, and looked in the direction of Emiya Shirou with a provocative look.

Shirou Emiya just sighed slightly, then also went to the bow rack and picked up a bamboo bow.

“Each person will shoot five arrows in turn. Everyone present is a referee. No objection, right?”

Shirou Emiya looked around briefly. Although some students were attracted, most of the people around him were members of the Kyudo Club.

“No.” Shirou Emiya shook his head. Even if he said he had objections, he was afraid that the final result would be no objections.

Soon, the two of them stood together in front of the open lawn, their eyes at this moment both on the target in front of the wall at the end of the open lawn.

Shirou Emiya didn’t even change his clothes and stood directly on the shooting range in his school uniform, which caused heated discussions among many people present.

And the most words——

Are you really a layman?

Did the Minister really ever praise him?

Do I have to go through the back door to enter the Kyudo Club?

Such questions and so on.

“It seems that the result is already determined at this moment.”

Shinji Matou also heard the discussions around him, and with arrogance written all over his face he mocked Shirou Emiya.

“Let’s finish it quickly.”

Shirou Emiya did not react to this at all, but just responded calmly.

“Tsk! You bastard!”

Shinji Matou looked at Shirou Emiya’s calm face and the anger that had subsided rose again, but when he looked at the target in front of him, he immediately calmed down.

“Are you trying to make me angry and make me make a mistake?”

“Unfortunately, your idea will never succeed!”

Having said this, Shinji Matou began to adjust his mindset, staring at the target in front of him with sharp eyes.

“Let me defeat you here. I will shoot the first arrow!”

Shinji Matou’s expression began to calm down, and his posture became standard according to the eight steps of archery. He then gripped the bowstring tightly, put the arrow on it, and his body began to tense up.

The next second, Matou Shinji’s momentum and strength reached the peak. His fingers loosened suddenly, and an arrow that was integrated with the shape of the bow in a ceremonial posture was shot out at a speed so fast that it was impossible to catch the trajectory of the arrow.

“call out–!”

The sharp arrow pierced the air easily.

“Snapped–!”

Then it hit the bull’s eye without a doubt.

The standard of his posture and the precision of his accuracy have even surpassed the ordinary. Even the commander-in-chief, Ayako Mizumi, finds it difficult to shoot this arrow.

If judged using the 100-point system of the Kyudo competition, it would be close to full marks.

Everyone present stared with wide pupils in great surprise at Shinji Matou’s astonishing opening arrow. In the Kyudo competition, if there were no mistakes in the subsequent arrows, this arrow would be enough to secure Shinji Matou’s victory.

“Shinji! Shinji! Shinji! Shinji! Shinji!”

Matou Shinji’s fans couldn’t help but cheer. This arrow could only be described as excellent and perfect.

“Ha! Do you know the gap between you and me?”

Looking at the arrow that hit the bull’s eye accurately, Shinji Matou slowly put down the bow, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. At this moment, he no longer cared what Shirou Emiya might do next.

Because no matter what you do, there is no way to surpass your own arrow.

“So, let’s finish it quickly.”

Shirou Emiya spoke calmly, and then, in front of everyone’s incredulous eyes, he placed the five arrows in the quiver on the bowstring at once, put the tail ends together, pinched them tightly with his fingers, and slowly pulled them along the bowstring.

“what–!”

Everyone present suddenly realized what Emiya Shirou was planning to do and exclaimed in disbelief.

“Grandstanding!”

Shinji Matou laughed disdainfully. Shooting five arrows in one breath, what a joke, who does he think he is?

However, Shirou Emiya blocked out all the sounds from the outside world. He drew his bow, aimed forward, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Just when everyone thought that Shirou Emiya had given up the competition, he actually used this almost impossible method to save face.

The next moment, Emiya Shirou, who had his eyes closed, suddenly loosened his hands that were tightly gripping the tail end of the arrow and the bowstring.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish——!”

With the longbow’s rebounding bowstring as thrust, five arrows each cut through the air and shot forward with a faint sharp sound.

“Dong-dong-dong-dong!”

In an instant, the sound of an arrow hitting the target resounded, echoing in the Kyudo Club filled with noisy discussions.

At this moment, the entire Kyudo club suddenly became quiet.

Five arrows hit five targets and pierced five bull’s eyes.

Shirou Emiya, killed the game.

Chapter 1170: A situation caused by a toilet

Quiet.

Deathly silence.

At this moment, the entire Kyudo Club fell silent, as if all the whispers and discussions before were fake, and it became completely silent.

Everyone turned their eyes to everything on the grass, and an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Shinji Matou’s expression was equally stiff, as if he had seen something impossible, staring straight ahead.

Under such circumstances, an indescribable silence permeated the entire Kyudo Club.

Everyone seemed to doubt their own eyes. They kept opening their eyes wide and opening their mouths involuntarily.

At this moment, they were so surprised that they even forgot to speak out loud, and could only remember the scene before them firmly in their minds.

How should they express their feelings of hitting the bull’s-eye of five targets at the same time?

If the shooting was divided into five times and all five times hit the bull’s eye, at most one would just feel a little emotional, or even say that Shinji Matou was mentally stable enough to maintain the momentum of the first arrow and was able to do it.

There are such people in Kyudo competitions.

There are even some ten-arrow competitions where all ten arrows hit the bull’s eye accurately, and of course that person becomes the champion in the end.

But five arrows were shot at the same time by one person using one bow, and all hit the bull’s eye.

Even a layman knows that such things only exist in novels.

The scene before my eyes can only be described in one sentence: beyond human reach.

I had no idea how long this scene lasted.

Until one moment, someone swallowed involuntarily.

“Gulu——!”

The slight swallowing sound seemed extremely harsh at this moment.

And with such noise, the two people on the archery field finally moved.

“Pa-ta-!”

There was a sound of something falling beside Matou Shinji.

That was the sound of the carbon fiber bow in his hand being released and falling to the ground.

Shinji Matou looked at Shirou Emiya viciously, his expression twisted into a distorted mess, and it was unclear whether it was jealousy, anger, or despair.

The gap was so huge that Shinji Matou couldn’t even see the back of Shirou Emiya on the road he was on.

The opponent is no longer on the same level as them in terms of archery, or even on the same level as all the archery practitioners in Japan.

As for Shirou Emiya’s eight-section shooting technique not being standard?

Come on, for someone who can hit the center of five targets at once, this is an etiquette that everyone can practice before archery and it doesn’t take long to learn and master.

Many members of the Kyudo Club are able to do it meticulously, but the difficulty lies in being able to do it meticulously and hit the target accurately at the same time.

The former requires constant hard work, while the latter requires not only hard work but also talent.

Shinji Matou’s talent in archery is far beyond the reach of other members of the archery club.

But as for Emiya Shirou, it could only be said that he couldn’t even see the dust he raised.

“Do you see it? Do you see it? Do you see it? Do you see it?”

“That Emiya, he actually! That Emiya, he actually!”

Standing at the door of the Kyudo Club, Makidera Kaede grabbed Himuro Zhong’s shoulders tightly, shaking her desperately with an expression of disbelief on her face.

“Stop shaking! I’m not blind yet!”

Feeling this powerful force, Himuro Zhong’s extremely calm expression was finally shaken. Himuro Zhong, whose expression did not waver even when he saw Emiya Shirou’s inhuman archery skills, was shaken when he was attacked by Makidera Kaede.

If she continued shaking, she might die.

“Xiao Shi, let go of Zhong Jiang, she can’t hold on any longer!”

Yukika Saegusa hurriedly walked forward and pulled Makidera Makidera and Himuro Zhong apart, the shock in her eyes lingering for a long time.

The same was true for everyone else present. With such a gap in popularity, it would not be an exaggeration to call Shirou Emiya a monster.

However, at this moment——

“What are you guys doing gathering outside my department?!”

A cold voice came from the corridor. Ayako Mizumi and Sakura Matou came over from the track and field club at some point. They looked at the entrance of the Kyudo department which was surrounded by people and shouted in a dignified manner.

Sakura Matou on the side also cleared her throat, then clenched her fists tightly, seeming a little restrained, or perhaps doubting whether she could be as majestic as Ayako Mizutsugi.

After all, she will be the leader of the Archery Club once this semester is over. If she is still as weak as before, she will not be able to lead the club well.

So Sakura Matou is studying. Since Ayako Mizuzue decided that Sakura Matou would succeed her as the minister and commander-in-chief, she would take Sakura Matou with her to deal with many things.

For example, when they went with Toosaka Rin to pressure Yanagido Kazunari to increase funding, it was no longer just two people, Ayako Mizutsugi and Rin Toosaka, but three people, Ayako Mizutsugi, Rin Toosaka, and Sakura Matou.

Ryudo Issei was extremely distressed. While he hated women, he also hoped that Emiya Shirou could come to him.

“Ah, it’s Meizhui!”

Yukika Saegusa, who had finally pulled Makidera Kaede away from Himuro Bell, heard the familiar voice and immediately waved to Ayako Mizutsugi.

The reason why the track and field club asked them to go to the archery club to say hello was because the three of them were all in Class A of the second year.

Of course, Toosaka Rin and Sajo Ayaka are also in Class 2A.

“What’s going on here?”

Looking at the three people standing at the door and not going in, Mizutsu Ayako walked forward with a puzzled look on her face.

“I, I don’t know how to put it, but you should be able to understand it by looking at me.”
