Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard Chapter 28 The Correct Way to Use the System

"...."

Uesugi Sakura looked at her upturned smiling face, unsure of what to say.

But as the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face. A bright smile brings an involuntary warmth, allowing defenses to drop.

Naturally, his tone softened a bit:

"Going to the Kyudo Club."

At the Kyudo Club, a small group of people had already gathered.

Under Seisuke Yooya's greeting, Uesugi Sakura also sat inside the dojo. He glanced around to find that more than half of the students from yesterday were gone.

The entire dojo suddenly seed much emptier.

However, Seisuke Yooya, the club president, seed quite pleased, indicating that having a third of the students remain was already quite good.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile to everyone present:

"Hey hey, thank you all for coming to the Kyudo Club to participate in this club activity again. To be honest, the number of people staying has far exceeded my expectations.

"The Kyudo Club at Kamigoe High School has never been that popular; most people join because of Sugita. But to have everyone's support, as the president, I sincerely thank you all once more."

After speaking, Seisuke Yooya bowed deeply to everyone, and this gesture naturally received a round of applause.

A mont later, he raised his head and said:

"So, without further ado, let's imdiately start today's club activity."

When it was called a club activity, Uesugi Sakura thought he would get to touch those long, large bows, but the president first had them train in "taihai" practice.

"As beginners, the foundational conditions required for shooting techniques cannot be t."

Seisuke Yooya walked among the group, continually explaining.

They stood straight, feet slightly apart, left hand in front, right hand behind, assuming a posture for drawing the bow, keeping steady.

"In Kyudo, the most important thing is 'stability.' An arrow shot with a calm mindset may surprise you with its accuracy - this is what is known as 'Seisha Hicchu.'"

Uesugi Sakura maintained the posture, looking ahead.

His gaze focused on the archery positions in front of him, where several senior club mbers were training. Their aura was evident in their every movent, appearing graceful and natural.

Grasping the arrow, preparing the bow, drawing the bow—all actions smoothly and comfortably executed. With the sound of the string, their arrows swiftly flew forward, hitting the wooden targets 28 ters away.

[Accuracy Lv3 (5/7)]

Huh?

Seeing the mysterious blue text montarily flash before him and then disappear, Uesugi Sakura was a bit puzzled.

Why... did the proficiency suddenly increase?

All he did was maintain the bow-drawing position, watching the seniors shoot.

His eyes?

With a suspicion in his mind, Uesugi Sakura kept his gaze fixed on the senior archers in front, ensuring he didn't move a muscle.

Seisuke Yooya constantly moved among the new mbers, helping them adjust their postures.

Having 12 new mbers join the Kyudo Club this term was truly gratifying for him, as the current president.

His peripheral vision swept over everyone, and he naturally noticed Uesugi Sakura's steady stance: unmoving and in a perfectly standard posture.

As a result, his approval of Uesugi Sakura grew significantly.

Thump thump...

Thump thump...

In front, sharp arrows continuously flew out. Uesugi Sakura's gaze was locked on the series of actions by the seniors.

"Shooting Technique Eight Steps": foot placent, body positioning, bow preparation, raising the bow, drawing the bow, eting, release, residual heart—every minute detail of the Kyudo Club mbers' postures was observed by him.

Each bow-drawing, each arrow-shot, was perfectly captured.

[Accuracy Lv3 (6/7)]

Witnessing the fleeting blue text again, Uesugi Sakura was certain.

He could gain proficiency through observation.

And this speed was much faster than the proficiency gained from tossing bottles.

With that realization, regardless of the stiffness from staying still for so long, Uesugi Sakura continued to gaze ahead.

"Everyone, hang in there just a little longer; you can rest in about 10 minutes."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison. Despite staying in the position for 20 minutes, with stiff bodies and arms growing weak and trembling, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

Ti quietly passed, and Uesugi Sakura maintained his posture, his gaze firmly fixed ahead.

Seisuke Yooya checked his phone for the ti and said to the group:

"Alright, everyone can sit down and rest, well done."

Upon hearing this, the mbers lowered their arms amidst sounds of relief and relaxation. The numbness made them shake their arms to improve blood circulation and reduce soreness.

[Accuracy Lv4 (0/8)]

Uesugi Sakura imdiately relaxed, moving his wrists around.

With his physique of 5, adapting to such high-intensity training required so ti.

Seisuke Yooya once again stepped forward and said with a smile to everyone:

"You classmates can rest a while longer. This was basic posture training. Next, you'll learn about the key points of 'taihai' and various postures."

...

...

The sun in Tokyo set a bit earlier, becoming slightly dusky near 6 o'clock.

After more than two hours of training, Uesugi Sakura endured his sore body, put on his shoes, slung his shoulder bag, and walked out of the Kyudo Club towards the club building.

This ti he gained quite a lot, discovering the correct way to use the system.

Since it didn't like issuing tasks, he would first increase his proficiency. For now, he wouldn't quit the Kyudo Club; it was a good place to gain experience.

He wondered what he would beco with 100% accuracy.

Wouldn't winning a shooting competition's prize be effortless?

The idle is ready to start working with this 'easy' effort.

Walking down the road lined with Sakura Trees, Uesugi Sakura suddenly heard Chitose Mai's voice from behind.

"Uesugi-senpai, Uesugi-senpai."

He stopped, turning to look at the girl calling from behind.

Chitose Mai jogged over to Uesugi Sakura with a light step, smiling:

"Uesugi-senpai, aren't you going ho? Why are you heading toward the club building?"

"I have a study group. I'm going to find soone."

"Ah,"

Looking at the half-set sun in the sky, Chitose Mai said, "Senpai had quite a fulfilling day, still staying at school to study so late."

"What about you? What are you doing after school?" Uesugi Sakura asked.

"Working," the girl responded with a smile, the sun's rays tracing her pretty face.

"You know the school doesn't allow work?"

"Yes, I know."

"Then why are you telling ?"

The girl nonchalantly said, "It's not like senpai would report to the school, so telling you doesn't matter."

Uesugi Sakura wondered what basis Chitose Mai had for trusting him like this.

Looking at that smile, under Chitose Mai's gaze, he turned and continued toward the club building, waving in the dusk:

"See you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow, senpai."
