	The fact that Rui had pointed finger-guns at him put him off a bit, for a lot of reasons. It was [i]archery[/i], not [i]marksmanship[/i]. Sato brushed it off immediately and instead focused on Rui’s face to keep his focus. Apparently Rui really was going to join archery. It surprised Sato in a weird way; this boy looked so vacant the entire time they talked that he had figured that Rui was just feigning interest to get Sato to go away faster. If only Rui had joined earlier, though. Sato had looked into it and apparently Mika had only recruited two people into the archery club, which meant that Rui’s membership would make two for Sato as well. A tie was usually settled in a shoot-off in the range but something told him that the tie-breaker would have been “Who Can Recruit Someone The Fastest.” Mika was a little more [i]charming[/i] than him (evident with the way she persuaded Rokoru to go eat lunch with her) so Sato decided that he’d be screwed no matter how it went. She was also a better shot, as were most of the other third years.

	Sato eventually noticed he had zoned out, thinking about the club in general, and scrambled over to Rokoru to go fetch the registration forms. As soon as he had started to approach Rokoru, the older boy whipped out the papers shockingly quickly and pushed Sato back towards Rui. Were they [i]that[/i] desperate for new members? Off the top of his head, he knew himself, Rokoru, Mika, and the other three third years. There was Ryouta and now Rui, along with the second years which Sato had never bothered to count. He remembered there to be one or two first years, but a majority of the half-dozen newcomers were first years, so that population would increase, assuming all of them joined.

	He handed Rui the papers on top of some clipboard with a pen was attached to the metal clamp with a frayed string which he took from someone on the way back. Sato vaguely gestured to all the blank spaces in the wall of words. “Put your name in all the blank spaces, sign your name there,” He pointed at a long line near the bottom of the page. “and then put down a few ways to contact you. Emails and phone numbers work best, but anything will do as long as we can reliably get in touch with you.”

	Once Rui had finished filling out the forms, Sato quickly scanned them over to make sure that they hadn’t missed something or did something wrong. Fortunately, they didn’t, and Sato scrawled his name somewhere distantly below Rui’s, leaving a good space for Rokoru to sign at the very bottom. He hid the pen into the gap between the board and metal of the clamp and held it to his side, meeting Rui in the eyes for a bit in confirmation.

	Rui vocalized that he had no clue where to start with, and Sato merely stuck his thumb into his pocket, looking around the range for no good reason. There was traditional archery that Rui should probably start with. But, Sato had pretty much no idea how much this boy knew of archery, so it would probably be best to get someone to teach him or let him watch some of the more experienced members shoot for a while. After a bit of searching he spotted Mika and Yuki belting arrows with a yumi. Rui could go get them to tutor him for a bit, but he likely didn’t know the two seniors.

	“You should start with kyudo, since we’re required to do that first, and if you’d like you could get either myself or some other senior to teach you how to do it. This is, of course, assuming you don’t really know how to do it already.” Sato paused for a minute and rubbed his chin. Rokoru was out of sight now, which meant that he really was just there to make sure that it was a new recruit that was talking to Sato. “If you know anyone here, you could get them to help you out if you don’t feel comfortable with any of the third years. You can come practice until 6 PM every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Don’t be afraid to miss a day or don’t come to practice, since there’s no strict goal to meet right now, but we’ll tell you when a meeting’s mandatory to attend. There [b]will[/b] be some punishments for not coming to the mandatory events so don’t think you can overbook your schedule.”

	Sato let out a long sigh after finishing his spiel. Hopefully this guy knew [i]something[/i] about archery already or was comfortable with some random third year teach him what to do. While wasn’t really a great teacher nor did he know how to teach kyudo well, and he had plenty of room for improvement (meaning plenty of reason to practice), it was his duty as the co-president and a third year member of the Warakuma High Archery Range to instruct this student on how to fire arrows out of a bow.
