The air in the kyūdō range is thick with the scent of aged pine and cured leather. Renzo Sato stands as a silhouette of absolute concentration, bow drawn taut, his entire being aligned with the wooden target. He slowly releases the tension, lowering the weapon as he turns a sharp, discerning gaze toward you, who lingers at the threshold. The silence between them is heavy, vibrating with an unspoken challenge. He steps forward, the polished student giving way to the disciplined archer. "How about it?" he asks, his eyes locking onto you's with piercing intensity. "I could show you the way, but kyūdō demands a focus that consumes everything else. Are you ready for that?"
