3. [Text, locked to the Network]

[greatseal]

Hello, everyone! ＼(=^‥^)/’

I have a request for the Network today. I don't know if there's enough time for this before the tournament, but I fight with a naginata and it's really conspicuous to just carry around. Since we have some great engineers here, I was wondering if someone would be able to design a naginata that could fold up or retract to fit into a handbag. I'll pay you for the trouble, of course.

And also in exchange - Well, not really in exchange, because this part is open to everyone! But the tournament uses Evokers, which is a pretty different style of Persona-summoning from usual. I use an Evoker normally, so if anyone would like to practice with one, or practice with a Persona in general, I'd be glad to help out! I'll be down in the Capricorn ward if you'd like to meet me there.

And, that's all I have for today. Thanks for reading!

I don't want anyone drawing blood.

[so snowballs are probably okay.]

[fools_journey]

Okay. ... any other rules?

[ Like no instant KO spells or whatever. Not that he plans on using any anyway, because trying to end something quickly defeats the point of training. ]

[greatseal]

It's just training, Minato... Are you planning to fight dirty?

[fools_journey]

No, but we could hone our balance by having to spar while balancing on one leg.

[ He is completely not serious here. Don't let the deadpan fool you. ]

[greatseal]

[Oh Minato...]

That could be fun...! But maybe not. I'm not as hardcore as Akihiko-senpai, after all... He might want to spar while doing squats.

[fools_journey]

We didn't have enough protein at lunch for that.

[greatseal]

No, we didn't.

So... Aim only at Personas, and nothing that's going to set fire to or explode the park?

[fools_journey]

[ Instead of saying anything, he draws his Evoker and gives her a salute. Then, when she's also ready, he fires it and out pops Anubis, ready for battle. ]

[greatseal]

[She's ready as well, bringing out Quetzalcoatl. Fire may be difficult to use under the rules, but wind isn't - and she opens with a Garudyne.

You have to be quick in a duel, Minato.]

[fools_journey]

[ He grits his teeth against the Garudyne, quickly responding with a Terra Punch from Anubis. It's too cold for water and ice, fire is a bit difficult, and if she's attacking with wind, there is a good chance that her persona is not vulnerable to wind, so earth seems the next best bet. Well, besides almighty, but he's not going to open up with such a strong spell for just sparring. ]

[greatseal]

Not bad!

[Earth is effective, although not super effective. Minako counters with a medium physical attack, Heat Wave, of course aiming for Anubis.]

[fools_journey]

[ Anubis takes the hit, and Minato grimaces, but it's not enough to knock them out, and he follows it up with an Aqua Punch. Might as well test all of her elemental resistances, right? ]

[greatseal]

[It's no more effective than the last attack, but also no less. She counters defensively with Marakukaja, upping her defense.]

[fools_journey]

[ And they keep on sparring for a while until they're both tired - an afternoon well spent. ]
