It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

Chapter 60

60. No, this is the first time?

Write the letters with ink.

In a way, it is a very simple process of holding a brush with your hand and painting on paper.

Of course, it was easy to think, but it was a difficult sport to do well in practice, but this body had an exceptional talent for realizing the imagination in its head.

Make the brush dance at once.

It is a kind of sword dance.

The target he held in his hand was a brush, not a sword, and what he scattered was food, not blood.

I drew black traces on paper. It was the movement of the dance, and it was a clear sword mark.

As I nodded my head in satisfaction and put the brush down on the inkstone, the head of the calligraphy department exclaimed with a surprised expression.

“Oh, that’s a one-stroke stroke!”

She studied the large letters on her scroll with her big eyes.

“…… The handwriting is stylish, the basics are solid, and the coexistence of letters and blanks is wonderful…… Aren’t you a calligrapher from the beginning?”

The head of the calligraphy department asked with her twinkling eyes.

I slowly shook my head as I stared at her eager face.

“No. Is this your first time?”

From noble mtl dot com

“…… To?! That then! If you are interested, would you like to join the department?”

“Mmm, no.”

This time, he smiled and shook his head.

I liked the book itself, but she had to spend a lot of time in the book.

She even joined a club, in case she would act like a ghost member in the future, but she has no intention of doing so.

After confirming my intention to refuse, I looked at the letters drawn on the scroll.

─驅大進 (Janggu Daejin).

It is time to drive away and move forward without hesitation at once.

“Hmm, what a waste! Ichimaru-kun, I secretly thought you matched well with the calligraphy club!”

Hotaru felt more sorry than I did for rejecting the calligraphy manager’s proposal.

“Even to me, a beginner, Ichimaru-kun’s handwriting was incredibly well-written.”

“hahahaha! Thank you for the compliment.”

In the end, no one joined the Calligraphy Club.

Starting with my rejection at the beginning, Hotaru also postponed the decision, perhaps because it was different from what he had thought.

Kenichi, who drew earthworms rather than letters on scrolls, was out of the question from the start.

Sento was already a member of the student council and also a member of the library club, so he missed out on exploring the club.

“…… I’m an earthworm, as insignificant as an earthworm…… “

Therefore, the only ones hanging out together now were Kenichi, who was wriggling like an earthworm, and Hotaru, who was very excited.

“Hey, where shall we go next?!”

I’ve been close with the two since I entered Karakura High School, but as new memories come in, the color of my emotions deepens.

I wanted to cheer up Hotaru, who was grinning a lot, and I wanted to play various pranks on Kenichi, who was dragging his feet.

All of these are memories of a world that came to me like a dream from the night before, but clearly existed.

Thanks to the memories passed down from the remnants of the soul.

Regardless of how smart I am, the volume of memories that came in suddenly was so high that I needed time to organize my thoughts.

As soon as I sorted out Kenju’s work, I locked myself in my room over the weekend and made the knowledge I saw through ‘memory’ my own.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of spells were added to my head.

I thought I had mastered all the common spells that could be learned from Rin, but even though it took decades, the number was surprisingly large.

Of course, not all of them were single spells, but more like detailed parts that could be dealt with immediately whenever the space changed instantaneously.

The result of over one hundred years of obstinacy and madness.

As if it was worth listening to useless small talk for a long time, my understanding and command of witchcraft have improved a lot.

In addition, the sophistication of the sword developed.

The superfluity in handling the sword disappeared, and along with the speed of cognition, the means to react to the opponent’s attack also increased.

The aura that shimmered like a torch and sword energy were easily refined like a blade, and the blade of a star that had a sense of being out of place somewhere could now be completely smoked.

The reason is simple and clear.

As the remnants of the previous owner completely disappeared, their souls became unified.

There is no more stuttering in contemplating the soul.

There was no awkwardness or unnaturalness about stealing someone else’s body.

Only me.

Now I can only feel the certainty that I am Ichimaru Shiki.

Perhaps it was a blessing and a curse.

The reason to save this world, which is about to collapse, is because I am desperate.

It must be difficult to look at it as a third person like before when you didn’t know anything.

But it wasn’t bad.

Because I was confident.

We had the will and ability to move forward.

Therefore, there was no need to falter in fear of the future that has yet to come.

Above all, I wasn’t the only one to use.

I smiled at Hotaru, who stared at me and asked where I was going.

“Hmm, how about the archery club?”

I know the answer.

***

Pabababak—!

An arrow stuck in the target.

Shooting to demonstrate to freshmen.

There is a difference between each, but most of them were close to the middle as they were senior members.

“…… Oh oh.”

Unlike in the calligraphy club, Hotaru’s reaction was good, as if something had a hard feel to it.

“I don’t like bows… ….”

Did you say you hate archers who are like archers?

Kenichi, a big fan of Japanese boys’ manga, where swords and magic are the main weapons, didn’t seem to like the fact that he joined the archery club.

Even if it’s not a knife, at least he likes a savage weapon like a chainsaw.

As expected, this is a remark like Kenichi with low intelligence.

Of course, I also preferred swords rather than bows, but each person has different aptitudes.

At least the sword didn’t suit Hotaru.

I made it into a swordsman because I was wondering what to do with a meta where everyone holds a sword together, but even in the middle and late episodes, I couldn’t beat a single ghost.

I don’t know at first, but later on, the era will come when ‘Vengeful Ghost’ will become the basic mob, and not being able to win even that meant that it wasn’t good to use it as a main build.

Even if you push through with crazy control and a stack of cans, there is a limit to growth in the end.

As expected, the original weapon is the best for a shrine maiden.

As those in the know know, since the ancient Heisei period, shrine maidens have killed yokai with bows.

“Now, would you like to shoot? There’s nothing to be afraid of. You just have to turn the bowstring sideways.”

“Oh, yes.”

Hotaru, who was handed a bow and arrow by a member, had his posture and stride adjusted.

I’m sure he won’t be able to shoot as he’s a beginner, but it’s probably the efforts of the archery members to somehow get him near the target.

Even though that kind of kindness was overshadowed, Hotaru Ichinose seemed to have a sense of it and straightened up on his own.

“…… Uh?”

The archery member had a puzzled expression, but soon regained consciousness and smiled.

“Oh, quite a lot. Aren’t you aptitude?”

“hehehe, thank you.”

The friendly Hotaru bowed his head and raised his bow properly again.

Check the target with your eyes outside the distance of 30M and adjust the angle.

Weighted up, seized the protest.

“But the tension of the bow is quite strong-“

To put those worries to shame, Ichinose Hotaru drew the string of his bow very easily.

“…… Uh?”

The astonished archery member opened his mouth wide.

But Hotaru, who started pulling the bowstring, didn’t care about him anymore.

I only looked at the target far away.

The slender right arm firmly grasped the arrow and string, forcing it into a state of standby.

“…… Nonsense.”

It is said that the shape of a cross is important in the posture of shooting a bow.

It is said that if the line between the feet, the waist line, and the shoulder line are each set as three horizontal lines, and the straight lines of the head, neck, and spine as vertical lines, a beautiful Bong (丰) shape will emerge.

That is the posture of the triple cross that beginners and middle schoolers learn and hone hard.

But from the moment Hotaru Ichinose grabbed his bowstring, he jumped over it.

—The fivefold cross.

The bow and the hand holding the bow, the line connecting the middle muscle of the chest and both shoulders, the thumb and string of the glove, the nape of the neck and the arrow, and the bow and arrow all form one angle.

Deed deed……

Hotaru pulled the string even more to see if the target had been fully targeted.

When he pulled against his tension, the protest gradually ran backwards and eventually reached Kai-Manzak (滿作).

The archery member who was helping her by her side could not even say anything about her and just watched her with his mouth open.

That would be perfect.

The fire shrine maiden, Hotaru Ichinose, pulled the bowstring with her natural talent.

─Balshi (發矢).

Taang let go.

Even if a beginner shoots an arrow, the trajectory is messy and often fails to get close to the target.

Also, there is not much difference in the sound of hitting the target even for experts.

In most cases, the penetrating power of a target was different in terms of tension and material.

─Kwajik!

In that sense, there was no such thing as an arrow getting stuck and breaking the target.

There was no roar.

However, it hit the target deeper and more accurately than any arrow in the dojo.

The audience.

The shrine maiden’s first arrow pierced the center of the target.

When the eyes of the archery member right next to him widened and the eyes of the people gathered in one place, Hotaru clenched his fists and shouted.

“Yes!”

After exclaiming in such a moment of joy, she looked back at Kenichi and me and smiled bashfully.

“What should I do, am I talented in archery?”

Do you think her first step was a coincidence?

Hotaru was only delighted with the hit of her arrows, but did not fully realize her own talent.

When she gathers her divine power to the fullest and starts shooting her bow wildly, that’s her Shingu (神弓).

I had no choice but to step closer and grab Hotaru’s hand.

“…… Uh?”

Instead, I shouted with conviction.

“Hotaru, you look better with a bow than a sword!”

“…… Uh uh.”

Looking at Hotaru with a bewildered expression, I smiled to give him a lot of confidence.
