That's right, the quiet and independent figure in front of her, as quiet as a snow lotus, is none other than Lu Qingxue.
It was the Sagawa Valkyrie who drew him into the Kendo Club through twenty molten berries!
But what makes Mu Fan the most unbelievable at this moment is why Lu Qingxue, who is famous for his swordsmanship, appears on the top of the green mountain in this early morning when there is almost no one around.
And with such an image of a bow wielder.
If it hadn't been for this climb, he probably wouldn't have known that Senior Sister Lu could actually bow and arrow, and judging from the posture she held the bow in just now, she probably wouldn't have known it for a day or two.
Under Lu Qingxue's calm gaze, Mu Fan ran to her with steaming heat and stood still.
After the previous high-intensity exercise, my breathing was still rapid.
The big bow in Lu Qingxue's hand was still pointing down. Her cold eyes first glanced at Mu Fan. After noticing the criss-crossing scars, her pupils changed slightly, and then she looked at the body placed by Mu Fan a hundred meters away.
boulder.
He gently raised his finger and pointed behind him, and lightly opened his red lips: "How did you climb to the top of the mountain carrying...it?"
Mu Fan looked back and grinned: "Yes, I just jumped up, squatting and jumping."
Lu Qingxue didn't care at all that the boy in front of her was naked, while Mu Fan was full of doubts and had a sophistication in the world. There was no disharmony between the two of them when they faced each other.
But if other people saw this scene, it would probably make the headlines on campus the next day.
Because until now, no boy has appeared in front of Valkyrie like this.
Looking at Lu Qingxue, who turned her bright eyes to him again after questioning, Mu Fan couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked, "Senior, why are you here?"
Lu Qingxue looked at him and tilted her head slightly to one side. This movement was indescribably cute.
Well, maybe cute is not the right word, but Mu Fan couldn't think of a better word.
"I am practicing and I am here every day."
Ah, this is embarrassing...
Mu Fan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Why are you here too?"
Lu Qingxue also had a hint of curiosity in her tone.
"I'm training, I want to become stronger!"
Speaking of this, Mu Fan's tone was filled with high morale.
Seeing the slightly childish expression of the scarred and muscular boy in front of her, Lu Qingxue had a faint smile on her face for the first time.
Facing a person of the opposite sex, even if it was just a slight curl of the corners of the mouth, this had never happened to Lu Qingxue.
"You are already strong enough, why do you still pursue it?" Lu Qingxue asked a question that Mu Fan was still thinking about half a day ago.
But this problem no longer exists now.
Mu Fan looked beyond the picturesque woman in front of him to the sky farther away, his face shining with a luster called will and belief: "Because, the road to the strong has no end!"
After listening, Lu Qingxue stared at Mu Fan quietly and nodded gently: "Be taught."
Seeing the other party like this, Mu Fan smiled sheepishly, and then pointed at the large bow with simple wood grain in Lu Qingxue's hand: "Sister Lu, haven't you always..."
"Show others the way of the sword?"
Mu Fan nodded.
"Practice the way of swordsmanship because the sword's intention is far-reaching and can reveal your heart and nature." Lu Qingxue held the long bow in her hand, looked at it quietly with watery eyes, and her voice sounded like jade beads:
"And archery is a state of mind practice, forgetting things and myself, and feeling the true pursuit of one's heart."
Mu Fan listened in confusion. These words mixed with a kind of Zen philosophy were too profound for Mu Fan. The only thing he could do was... look at Lu Qingxue and giggle.
What he can understand is very simple, that is, swords and arrows are just a kind of practice for the Valkyrie.
Seeing Mu Fan like this, Lu Qingxue didn't feel any strangeness on her face. It seemed that she was just stating something. She gently pulled the black hair beside her ear and asked, "Are you going to have to carry that huge boulder again?"
"kindness!"
"Why are you working so hard? Becoming stronger also requires a goal."
Lu Qingxue seemed to remember something, and a trace of confusion flashed in her cold eyes.
"For what? Of course to survive!"
Mu Fan answered almost without thinking. Do you need to ask why for such a simple question?
To... survive!?
The last three words made Lu Qingxue fall into deep thought for a long time. It was not until Mu Fan, who was opposite him, felt something was wrong in the atmosphere that he calmly coughed and recovered.
"Senior, why do you keep doing these exercises?"
"I have no idea."
Slowly shaking her head, Lu Qingxue actually gave Mu Fan such an answer.
This made him absolutely unable to believe that the Kendo Club President, Valkyrie Sadagawa, actually told him at this moment that she didn't know why she was doing these exercises.
However, it was only for a moment that Lu Qingxue once again regained her aloof expression, but there was no trace of coldness when she spoke.
"It was a pleasure talking to you today. It's time for me to go back. Today's practice is over."
"You only draw a bow but don't shoot arrows?"
Mu Fan whispered to himself, but it did not escape Lu Qingxue's ears.
This cold girl didn't say anything. She raised the long bow in her hand and stood on her back. She controlled the string with her right hand and stretched the bow like a full moon.
The ordinary arrow was placed on the thumb of his left hand, and the mountain wind slightly blew his green hair. His whole body unexpectedly completed the instant transformation from stillness to movement. This moment was in Mu Fan's eyes.
The shadow of Lu Qingxue holding the bow actually brings a much stronger impact to the picture than the way she holds the sword.
It seems like this is what she was supposed to be like!
The three fingers of his right hand suddenly unclenched.
As the bowstring vibrated, the arrow shot out of the string. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect the sound of breaking through the air hidden in the mountain wind.
Ding, a subtle sound sounded, and Mu Fan saw the arrow sinking into a huge rock in front of him like a lying cow.
However, he didn't notice that the previous position was a little rouge.
A wooden arrow penetrates a stone.
Lu Qingxue drew back her bow and walked slowly to the side. There was a rectangular silver-white metal box lying quietly on the ground.
Slowly kneel on the ground, clasp the sides with your fingers and apply gentle pressure, and the box will automatically pop up.
The simple black long bow was flipped over in Lu Qingxue's palm, and then she pressed the bow with her fingertips and turned it accurately into the groove.
Then there was the quiver, with only one arrow in it, which was put into the groove in her solemn eyes.
Then the chest is taken out and placed in it.
Every movement in these steps is indescribably focused and graceful.
Mu Fan's eyes couldn't help but stay on Lu Qingxue's look that seemed to have some kind of faith.
Even when holding a sword, the senior has never been in such a state.
Senior Sister Lu, is Kyudo really just a means for you to cultivate your mind...
With bare hands, he picked up a black jacket folded on the other side of the box and slowly put it on his body.
The fluttering bow suit was covered by a black coat similar to a windbreaker, leaving only Sai Xueqishuang's calves and ankles exposed.
When Lu Qingxue closed the metal box, Mu Fan suddenly said: "Senior sister, there is always an illusion. I feel that you pay more attention to the bow... than the sword."
Her hands paused for a brief moment, and Lu Qingxue lowered her head and said lightly: "Is there any?"
Maybe it's my own misunderstanding.
Mu Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No!"
At this time, Lu Qingxue had already stood up and looked at him calmly.
"I hope you can become the pillar of Dingchuan in the future."
Then he carried the alloy box and walked towards the other side of the summit platform.
The cold figure gradually disappeared from Mu Fan's sight.
At this moment, Mu Fan seemed to see another side of the Valkyrie.
Senior sister seems not to be as unapproachable as the legend says...
