Hey, I'm Shirou. I've been wondering this for a while now but is there some kind of dojo or archery range around here? I train with martial arts and I know it's important to have the proper equipment.

[He misses having a dojo in his home. ]

Training helps me keep my focus and well it looks like a lot of people here could use it too.

I don't want to stop moving just because I'm not at home anymore. I think it's nice to go out for a jog early in the morning.  Maybe you have some kind of interesting work out routine. I'd like to hear about it.

[Venti doesn't care about training or anything like that but...]

It's good to see you want to keep yourself busy! Do you have a lot of interest in archery?

[projections]

Oh yeah, of course. I joined the archery team back in highschool and I ended up quitting because some stuff at work came out.

I'd like to think I'm halfway decent with a bow. Might be nice to pick that up again.

How about you?

[concierto]

That's wonderful to hear! There's nothing more graceful and beautiful than an arrow let loose through the sky.

I'm an archer, myself!

[projections]

You are? I didn't know that.

I want to see how you handle a bow myself one of these days.

While it might not specifically be a dojo, I have found some ruins on the edge of town that I've been cleaning up for training purposes.

[A small map has been sketched out.]

I'm sure I could make something work.

[projections]

You've been working on that? Wow, I'd really like to see it.

The map would make it easier for me to get there. It doesn't seem too far.

I have to wonder how big that place is.

[iracorn]

It's really not that far, so please feel free to drop by. I'm there most days.

It's a decent size, I think. It must have been used for similar activities in the past.

[projections]

That would make a lot of sense. Hey, I have a knack for cleaning and house chores so let me help out.

It's the least I could do while I'm there.

If you wish to use a melee weapon, I could spar with you.

However, please prioritize your health before training.

[projections]

That would be fine, thanks. I had a bad dream and then thought I have to get a little stronger.

I feel okay now, sorry to worry you.

[removal]

[ This is how it always starts, isn't it? A nightmare planting the seed of darkness which would then bloom into obsession. He can't help but be worried. ]

What weapon are you accustomed to using?

[projections]

Swords and traditional bows. I've tried using real swords for a little while but I don't have too much experience with that.

How would you fight against someone with a lance?

[ He still remembers that time he struggled fighting against an expert lancer. It's hard to predict a weapon when it moves in a point happens so quickly. ]

[kikuichi]

Oh? What kind of martial arts do you know?

Sender: Norimune

[projections]

I'm familiar with kendo. My homeroom teacher was a five dan.

I heard that she was one of the best kendo fighters around. It's not like I could ever hope to beat someone like that with a half-hearted resolve so I want to train more.

The things I know the most are Japanese style martial arts too. How about you?

[kikuichi]

How wonderful. It's always good to have a goal to strive for, and even surpass.

I'm pretty good with a sword. A Japanese tachi, to be precise. So while I might be old, I would love to train with you.

[projections]

It sounds like you've been fighting for a while. That's all the more reason I should do my best if we're training together.

Are you okay with training swords? They're nothing like the real thing.

[hairpinings]

It does feel like something's off if you let yourself not do something, doesn't it? Even a little bit of training is better than none.

[projections]

You get exactly what I'm talking about.


I came to this world not too long ago but it's hard to believe it's already been a few months. Do you have plenty to do here?

[hairpinings]

I like to do a lot of little odd jobs here and there. Oh, but I'm lucky! My sparring partner from home came with me, so I won't get rusty in that regard.

[projections]

That's good. Would you consider yourself to be stronger than your sparring partner?

If not then it'd seem like you'd have catching up to do.

I summon ghosts and or zombies and ask them to train me.

[projections]

Aren't those like familiars?

It sounds like they'd be harder to control.

[refantasma]

zombies yes ghosts no.

why would I want to control them if Im learning to fight?

[projections]

Sometimes people like controlling other beings in battle.

I've seen it before.

You could always show me what you can do in person and we'll figure something out.

[Okay, he can't resist the urge to tease just a little bit.]

My dreamotion training isn't enough to keep you focused? I'll have to be even more strict with you.
