Location: Gym
Summary: Yuka attempts to figure out how exactly one uses a sword.
Warnings: none at time of posting

After hearing from Kallen that you could actually train with your Weapon before a real battle, Yuka had gone to find Sora to ask for some practice. It wasn't so much that she really wanted to win her match the next day, but she didn't want to make a complete fool of herself, or accidentally hurt herself, Himoto-san, or her opponent because she didn't know what she was doing. Plus Himoto-san had been so nice in volunteering to help her, and she'd feel terrible if she lost the fight right away after that. She knew she probably couldn't become good at fighting in just one day, but she could at least...not be completely incompetent, surely.

So the two of them made their way to gym (hopefully there wouldn't be as many people in there?), and over to a good empty spot. (And Yuka tried not to think too much about gyms and basketball teams and if this place took memories away why couldn't it take that one?)

She turned to look at Sora and frowned slightly. "So do you just...pull the sword out?"

Sora turned back towards Yuka from where she'd been looking around the empty gym, and nodded cheerfully. She'd made sure the other girl had brought her glove in a rare moment of organisation, so there wouldn't be any problems with drawing her weapon.

"At our academy, we used to say a phrase to draw the weapon. It was kind of cool... 'Utopia is here!'" She gestured along with the words automatically, hand moving out towards Yuka in a dramatic sweep, then realised what she was doing and pulled her arm back to ruffle the back of her head sheepishly.

"Ah, but that's not necessary here, I don't think..."
