The girls' individual competition begins first. Rika manages to get a *kaichuu*, but Noa misses all of her targets due to trying to compete with a fever. As she finishes the competition in tears, the twins taunt Kaito and Nanao, who are participating in the boys' individual competition, about her.

Kazemai is a typical Japanese high school that teaches three grade levels. It is located in a major city and is well funded. It has many extracurricular clubs and facilities, including a kyudo dojo.

The boys' uniform is the traditional *gakuran* with a black button-up top and standing collar, white collared shirt, black pants, and shoes of the student's own choice. The girls wear the sailor fuku style uniform, consisting of a gray top with a dark green sailor collar, a blue scarf and a knee-length dark green pleated skirt. All the students use an over-the-shoulder blue book bag.

For kyudo, both boys and girls wear white *kyudogi* and black *hakama* for practice, and wear white *kyudogi* with the school's name embroidered on the left sleeve in competitions.

## Kyudo Club

The school's kyudo club had been on the verge of disbandment until the principal ordered Tomio Morioka to restore it. Morioka restored the school's *kyudojo* with the help of volunteers during the spring break before the new school started, and managed to recruit Seiya Takehaya and Ryohei Yamanouchi on the first day of school. Nanao Kisaragi, Kaito Onogi, Rika Seo, Noa Shiragiku, and Yuna Hanazawa joined later at a kyudo information session. Due to Morioka's back problems from old age, he could not demonstrate shooting techniques easily, so Masaki Takigawa, a fifth dan in kyudo, was brought in to coach the club. The school does not belong any particular school of kyudo, but it uses the *reishakei* (modern form of shooting) system.

He seems to be a very compassionate about his brother, no matter the situation(like when they had a little fall-out with the boys of Kazemai). He and his twin brother are very close. They both like to cause trouble for other people, and are regularly scolded for it. Whether or not they succeed or fail in causing trouble, they could be seen smiling, or even laughing. One could consider then 'sadistic', because they enjoy to see people's reactions to embarrassment.

## History

The two are arrogant in their abilities. However, Minato warns them that shooting so fast may result in them developing target panic, which is exactly what happens to his brother in the prefectural tournament.

## Relationships

### Manji Sugawara

Manji is Senichi's younger twin brother and they are very close to each other. Senichi acts more mature of the two.

### Shuu Fujiwara

However, after spending more time around him their aggression blossomed into admiration. They eat lunch with him everyday, and want to get closer with him. Though Senichi is more obsessed with Shu than Manji, who thinks they should focus on building their own skills.

G.o.d Wind Academy

## History/geografi Edit

ang Shuo’s tone suddenly became gloomy, “If my father really fought in this ‘War of the 3 Continents’, then it is highly likely that it was declared that he was actually injured by a cultivator who came from the Yi Xing Ocean. But the fact is, he was played by one of the people from the 3 Continents and as a result received such an internal injury, although my father had vowed revenge on him, but because of his injured Core Lake, even if he was more angry, he could only clench his teeth to swallow air.”

Ning Cheng did not ask, he knew that by the tone of Cang Shuo, he would surely speak about who had injured his father.

“The person who had injured my father was the Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui Clan, Shui Yi Han in collaboration with the Profound Core Cultivator Lu Ye of the Luo Huo Academy, these two people are simply too sinister and ruthless. To secretly try and kill people on their own side, while also claiming that the act was in the name of righteousness and justice, these people are just too shameless to the extreme. It is really unfortunate, that my father is the only person to know about their evil conduct.”

“Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, since you also have an enmity with the Shui Clan, that is the reason why I am telling you this. That Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui Clan who sneak attacked my father, although my father was also seriously injured, but at the moment he also should be in the process of healing his wounds, but his injury when compared to my father’s serious injury is simply too light.“ Cang Shuo said, as in his eyes flashed sparks of anger.

After listening to Cang Shuo’s words, Ning Cheng suddenly stood up, as his face immediately turned ugly. He had never thought that the Profound Core Dean of the G.o.d Wind Academy was unexpectedly severely wounded by that Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui Clan.

For him to leave Ji Luo Fei in the G.o.d Wind Academy, was it really the correct decision? In case that Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui Clan had healed from his injuries, and then came looking for the G.o.d Wind Academy, just how could he not imagine what would happen?

“But I think that Shui Yi Han of the Shui Clan, even if he heals from his injuries, will not dare to casually look for trouble with my G.o.d Wind Academy. The G.o.d Wind Academy anyways, is a 5 Star Academy. Therefore even if we do not find the Rainbow Light Gra.s.s, I will definitely return to the Hua Continent.” Cang Shuo did not care of what Ning Cheng was thinking about, and spoke in a resolute way.

Tsurune Volume 3

**Tsurune: Kazemai High School Kyudo Club 3** (ツルネ ―風舞高校弓道部― 3, *Tsurune ―Kazemai Koukou Kyuudou-bu― 3*?) is the third volume of the Tsurune light novel series, released on August 19, 2022.

## Summary

*Meigen*--that is the sound of the dawn.

Minato and the others are now second years at Kazemai High School. Because the kyudo club achieved good results at last year's Nationals, they have many new members this year. Though they had crossed the start line aiming for victory in the prefecturals, it seems that not everything is going smoothly, with the first years opposing the club's management...

Meanwhile, applicants are also flooding Kirisaki High School's powerhouse kyudo club, where Shuu Fujiwara is. There are many underclassmen who look up to Shuu, the Young Prince, but even among them, Kudou Takumi shows an uncommon attachment to him.

"Haine High School," led by "kyudo streamer" Asahina Hiroshi, also makes an appearance. This is the story of archers heralding the dawn of a new era!

## Appearance

Mutou is a middle aged man with black hair. He is often seen in a suit and tie.

## Personality

Mutou is a proud and authoritative man who values tradition but strength above all else. During the line-up selection process he gave the spots to the best shooters regardless of their experience and academic year. He also agreed to do a practice match with Kazemai despite it being a new club because they bested Kirisaki at the Prefectural tournament.

## History

His main inspiration to take Kyudo seriously was watching Yasaka Akihiro, Masaki's grandfather, for the first time. Saying "I was aimlessly continuing to do kyudo until that point, but saw Yasaka eight-dan’s kyudo and thought, *this is the work of a man’s lifetime"*
Reiji Aragaki

## Personality

Renji is stern, serious and vane. Described as a narcissist, which bleeds into his eye-catching way of shooting a bow.

## Shooting Technique and Ability

Like all members of Tsujime, he uses the shamen uchikoshi shooting style, a more casual and practical way of shooting. Aragaki has a habit of leaning far back before taking a shot. Despite being the captain, his skill is amateurish due to his team only competing seriously for a year.

## Relationships

### Eisuke Nikaidou

Renji acknowledges that Nikaido's experience vastly exceeds his own, and defers all coaching responsibility to him, making Renji the team's captain in name only. However, there are moments where Renji has to remind Nikaido who's really in charge, like when Renji accepts Minato's offer to do a joint practice, when Nikaido declines interest.

### Touma Higuchi

Renji and Higuchi were friends and the original two teammates before Nikaidou joined and rebuilt the team.
