[Calligraphy Lv7 (0/40)]

Why are there no tasks?

Uesugi Sakura propped up his face with his left hand, leaning against the window, listening to the lecture while idly scrolling through the transparent system interface.

He flipped through the [Character Panel], [Tasks], [Available Tasks], [Accepted Tasks], [Backpack], [Skills], [Current Status] and so on...

He suddenly noticed a shop interface at the bottom, in the very corner.

It wasn’t there before, is this new?

[Description: Greatly restores certain health values and detoxifies]

Good stuff, just a bit pricey, ten attribute points.

[Energy Recovery Medicine: 1 item/2 attribute points]

[Description: Energy reverts to the state of 3 hours ago]

Energy, what do I need this for?

[Beep... Beep Beep...]

[You have redeemed "Energy Recovery Medicine" *3, please check and receive it.]

Hmm~ This shop is pretty good. Anyway, besides intelligence, I don’t really have much use for other attribute points.

Continuing to look.

[Plush Toy Popular Among Girls: 1 item/1 attribute point]

Hmm...?

Uesugi Sakura raised his eyebrows.

Perhaps.....

"Uesugi, Uesugi!" Haneda Kimu’s voice interrupted his train of thought.

He stood up immediately and replied, "Yes, Mr. Haneda."

Even when called out, remain calm.

Mr. Haneda gave him a professional woman’s smile, "You seemed to be daydreaming just now?"

"I’ve always been very serious." He signaled to Tsubokawa Takahiro behind with his left hand resting against the wall.

Tsubokawa pushed his glasses, shifted his gaze from the phone playing animation on the book wall, and gently tapped the desk.

Knock knock...

Two knocks.

Meaning I don’t know either, don’t count on me.

Alright, no chance.

"Then can you tell me where I left off just now?" Mr. Haneda politely asked, "If you’re lying, you can just stand for the rest of the class."

"..."

Uesugi Sakura quietly surveyed the classroom with the corner of his eye, finding most people just staring at him.

No point, even when we’re in the same class, shouldn’t we help each other out a bit?

Can’t count on Goto either, it’s only little Hanabi I can rely on in times like this.

He glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi’s seat, quickly noting down the small white paper she discreetly raised.

"Line forty-seven, second sentence."

Uesugi calmly said, "Mr. Haneda, do you need me to read it aloud?"

"No, just sit down," Haneda Kimu smiled, putting down the comprehensive Japanese book, "Just remember not to daydream in class."

"Yes."

"And, Hanamaru."

Hanamaru Hanabi heard her name being called, her small hand instinctively tightened around the pen she was just using.

Haneda Kimu kept smiling, "We know you’re a couple, the school won’t interfere in your matters, but please don’t show too much affection during class."

The classroom was filled with faint murmurs of suppressed laughter.

Hanamaru Hanabi blushed and bowed her head:

"Yes."

Haneda Kimu tapped the table twice with the back of the book, "There’s nothing to laugh about, let’s continue the class."

——————

In the afternoon, the rain hadn’t stopped.

Carrying his bow bag, Uesugi Sakura watched Hanamaru Hanabi and Ayaka Rie head to the club building with others, then went alone to the Kyudo Club with an umbrella.

The wet ground splashed a few muddy drops backward with every step.

Creating a rhythmical splashing sound.

Raising his left hand, the ring on his unnamed finger gleamed in the mild overhead light.

It’s just a stone, can’t it be sold cheaper?

Uesugi Sakura swung his left hand back and forth to admire it, thinking that it’s fine to get expensive things for little Hanabi.

—Although he didn’t pay for it.

The more he thought about it, the scarier he found diamonds to be.

Passing through the field, the enthusiastic sound of the baseball club ceased in the rain.

Arriving at the Kyudo Club.

Everyone came particularly early today.

"What are we training for today? Is there any team training?" Uesugi Sakura placed the shaken-off umbrella in the stand by the door.

"No, today is mainly about practicing accuracy," Kanai Hideyoshi, stringing up his bow by the wall, said.

"Uesugi, have you felt better? You seemed distracted in the last match," Hirata Masanobu, who had changed into his Kyudo uniform, came out and said.

"Not an issue." Uesugi Sakura put down the bow bag and took out an unstrung bamboo bow.

Rain-soaked Kamigoe High School Kyudo Field was particularly quiet too.

Occasionally, you could hear the sound of the drizzle tapping on the roof, but unfortunately, the fragrance of the grass in the field was entirely dampened.

"We’re competing against Tokyo Tenth High School on Saturday, right?"

Sugita Shuhei set aside his bamboo bow on the shooting position, "Tokyo Tenth doesn’t have any particular standouts, but they are balanced in strength and steady in performance."

Kanai Hideyoshi measured the distance between the string and the bow grip with his eyes, "The main thing is still Mizuki."

Ogata Asaka was still coldly shooting arrows at the shooting position, on sunny days it was fine, but just being near her on rainy days, you might catch a cold.

Her individual competition, she didn’t make it into the top three.

First was Fuya Nanori from Mizuki, second was Yukawa Reisei from Sagami.

The two had no misses in two rounds of confrontation, evenly matched.

In cases like this, a shoot-off was required—each shoots an arrow, the one missing is eliminated, if both hit, they shoot one more arrow, if both miss, they shoot another round.

Fuya Nanori, known for maintaining thirty consecutive hits, has his unique techniques.

As a Martial Archery division member, Yukawa Reisei lost momentum after continually drawing the bow with great force, causing him to miss at the 24th shot, leaving in displeasure.

Sugita Shuhei slowly drew his bow, maintaining the rhythm and breathing advised by Ogasawara Shikyo Fan Shi, "Nanori’s role in the team goes beyond his almost perfect hit rate, more importantly, he constantly maintains elegance, helping teammates stabilize their mindset."

"Does Senior Sugita know him?" Uesugi had noticed some hints during their previous encounters.

"Yes, he was my middle school classmate."

A sound of the string pierced through the lightly falling rain, striking the target.

"He also practiced under Master Ogasawara for a while, and their school’s advisor is a renowned Sixth Rank Refiner."

"Even though we’ve trained together for a week, winning against Mizuki still poses some difficulty."

Sugita Shuhei lifted his longbow again, transitioning smoothly into each stage, exerting power gently.

Another sharp sound of the string, maintaining residual heart while lightly gripping the bamboo bow rebounding from the recoil.

"If Uesugi can secure his capability then, from here, it’s largely up to you guys."

"Do your best."
