Archery Workshop #2, 5/30, Danger Shop, Afternoon

[deadly_little]

The Danger Shop is set up like an outdoor archery field this week, with fifteen targets, fifteen bows, and fifteen quivers of arrows. The arrows, the students will find, are tipped with suction cups. Off to one side is Miho, lounging in a lawn chair with an umbrella. On the table next to it is the sign-in sheet. An incongruous freestanding blackboard is set up next to her, with the words Beginning Archery. Shoot the targets. Leave when you are done. written on it.

Miho gets up, takes up her own bow and a suction cup arrow, and demonstrates for the class by shooting at the first target in the line. Bullseye. Then she returns to her seat, picks up her glass of lemonade, and watches for any errors in form she'll need to correct.

While the bow is awkward and strange, there's a vibrant flush to Sakurazaki's face, absolutely delighted to have a weapon in her hand again. But she's never used a bow, so she takes a moment to watch and listen to the others, soaking in any helpful tidbits while she takes a moment and gathers her chi.

It takes a few tries before she gets the hang of it, but she eventually figures it out and her shots are pretty good for a beginner. She wonders if anyone can tell that she's using Shinmei Ryuu wind magic to help them get as far as they do, though. She hopes not.

She considers the idea of trying a full on Shinmei Ryuu technique at the very end of class, but figures that attempting to channel the energy that helps a nodachi blow apart a rock with wind alone into an arrow on the second day is probably not a good idea. However, the thought will amuse Sakurazaki through the entire day.
