Chapter 54.4 - Archery Competition

Once, a wise man said to fear those who keep their composure even in front of nothingness as they are the ones who can adapt the most.

That was one of my favorite quotes. For some reason, as I walked to the stage where I would perform my archery, that quote came to my mind regardless of whether it fit the situation or not.

'Sigh…..'

Inwardly, I sighed, seeing all those eyes on me. Some of them were discerning, some of them happy. I even saw some young students looking at me intently.

'Why, though?'

I wondered but couldn't find the reason in my head, though neither did I have to. After all, it was just a random thought from my side.

'I see….'

After a second, the reason came instantly. They had been quiet for a while, but I guess the words that stuck upon me were still there.

As I reached the stage, I took a moment to look around, scanning the faces of those gathered on the Archer Club grounds.
