Weeks of training have all come down to this: the individual competition. When the dust settles, who will wear the crown of victory?
The competition is fierce, and if Hikari hopes to compete with her more experienced opponents, she'll have to pull out all the stops in the next round of Nationals!
Marksmanship relies heavily on the competitor's mental state. Lose focus even a little, and your accuracy will be all over the place... a dilemma Erika knows about all too well.
When Yuko decided the team competition order, she had no idea that the final slot was so important! Now the pressure is on Yukio to get the team off to a great start.
The road to Nationals is almost at its end. The destinies of Hikari and her friends lie ahead at the Tsutsuga Rifle Range in Hiroshima prefecture!
They might be headed to Nationals, but that doesn't mean the members of the Chidori RSC can slack off on their finals! Too bad they only have two days before the big test...
Hikari is in second place, so she's guaranteed to advance to Nationals, right? Unfortunately, there are still plenty of competitors who could beat her score!
Prefectural qualifiers are tomorrow, and nerves are running high for everyone in the competition. Can Hikari keep her cool on the range, or will consistency be her downfall?
After an enjoyable Sunday, the team returns to school and learns they need a new club advisor to be eligible for the qualifiers!
The Chidori RSC's first practice match is here, and their opponents attend none other than Asaka Academy High School — home of last year's Nationals' runner-up!
