[The sound of clicking is heard, it's more than likely that Naoto has no idea her mic is on right now. The clicking stops for a moment before a snap as if something metal just shut.

Right now, Naoto is loading bullets into her gun but unless you know what loading a revolver sounds like, you're not going to know what it is. She starts to speak, obviously not to any one who may be listening through the journal] Senpai, Rise-san? I'm leaving to go train, I will be back shortly.

[She closes her journal, cutting the audio off]

[Action]

[Unless you're Rise or Souji, who obviously saw her leave the room, you may see Naoto walking towards the battle dome in the early afternoon. You may have even heard that she was heading there if you caught her voice clip before she shut it off.

Naoto will be there for most of the day, kicking shadow hologram ass and naturally some of the harder to beat ones from her world. She's pretty determined to get even stronger so, she needs the challenge.

If you come across her room in the battle dome, be sure to make your presence known so she doesn't shoot you by accident, thinking you're a shadow]

[~~Don't say his name -- you may end up summoning him from beyond the veil of space and time~~ :( Shruggin' a bit at that.]

No kidding. You'd think they'd back off a little, or focus on getting back at the Malnosso, but I guess they'd rather take things out on everyone else, instead.

[~~You mean he's like Voldemort?! Oh shi--~~ ]

Since they're unable to come in contact with the Malnosso personally, we're the only targets available for them.

Well ... [... there are the drafts -- he personally saw many Malnosso scientists and their families, in fact -- but ... not exactly easy to get to them, otherwise. ... Nor does he really want to talk about the drafts -- he's still extremely unsure how to feel after going through one.] ... Yeah, I guess. It's either us or whatever lives in the forests out here, anyway.

[She looks at him curiously then nods]

Unfortunately that seems to be the case. [She hesitates before opening her mouth to speak again] Yuri-san, may I ask you something?

[He glances over at her.]

Yeah, go ahead.

If it's all right, will you fight against me?

[It is a bit risky to ask someone who's probably 10 times stronger than her and she easily collapses after one attack, but she's determined to get stronger, by any means necessary]

Huh? ... You don't mean now, do you?

I would like to fight against someone as soon as possible. Now would be fine, if you have the time that is.

I do, but are you sure that's really a good idea right now? I don't exactly go easy on anyone.

[She hesitates for a moment] I need to become stronger than I am now. It's fine if you don't go easy on me, I need the challenge.

[He pauses for a moment, then shrugs.]

All right, fine by me.

[With that, he'll start moving further into the room and away from her, in order to create a starting distance.]

[She watches him move further away from her and takes the shells out of the cylinder, reloading it with bullets before snapping it back in place]

When you're ready.

[Yuri's not entirely sure how he feels about having a spar with someone who uses a weapon like she has, but ... well, it wouldn't be the first time he's dealt with a long-range type. Should be the same thing, right? Or at least similar to the mechanized blastia on the Heracles ... besides, he could use some dodging practice. S'all good.

... Regardless. As soon as he's got a fair distance going, he'll stop and face her, swinging his sword once to slide the sheath off of it ~~which then falls somewhere in hammerspace~~.]

Ready.

[Since Yuri is probably used to fighting against someone with a sword, it's only fair if he has an opponent with the same weapon. Though if she uses her persona for too long she'll get end up collapsing quickly again.

She holds up her gun as the same blue card appears in front of it and shoots it to have her persona appear before her. It holds its own sword up, waiting for Naoto] Let's go!

[It takes that signal and charges at Yuri]

[So that's how she's doing it, huh ... Maybe this'll be more interesting than he thought it'd be after all.

Yuri will be meeting that charge with one of his own, readying a heavy, diagonal swing for when he gets close enough to Naoto's persona.]

[She wasn't planning on making this a dull fight for you Yuri.

The cut does hit her persona which makes Naoto wince slightly in pain but it comes back with a swing of its own blade once then once more]

[The first swing, Yuri manages to block in time. However, since Yuri was making an attempt to retaliate by time the second swing was coming down on him, that manages to hit. And getting hit is not a fun experience.

So! Yuri jumps back to try and make a little space between himself and the persona, sending an Azure Edge arte in its direction almost immediately after he lands.]

[Her persona blocks the Azure Edge but disappears only to reappear behind Naoto with its arms out and head down, as if its trying to focus. A circle appears below Naoto which causes a slight breeze to flow upwards and around her but the circle and her persona disappear after a moment

She holds up her gun and fires a few rounds at Yuri, though careful to not hit anything vital and aims a bit off so if she does hit skin, the bullet will only cut the top of his skin.]
