[ Naoto, ever the video game aficionado, sped right towards the fighting games...
Until he realized that he can't play due to lack of a hand.
So spot him in the corner, sulking because he can't join the fun. ]
I hate this stupid place! [ A valid claim... if he wasn't curled up on the floor with a pout on his face. ]

[ He was getting tired of fighting.
It was the only way to keep an eye on his doppelganger, however. He knew the moment it'll leave it'll start claiming that he was the real Naoto. It sent shivers down his spine. He didn't know what he'd do if that thing even dared to talk to his friends, to those he actually managed to befriend.
That thought actually got him angrier, more determined to beat this doppelganger into the ground. ]
Stay down, damn it!
[ ... Fighting with one hand was a lot harder than it looked. ]

[ Defeat 30 slimes. That was it. Easy peasy. Nothing much to worry about. Naoto was well on his way to getting two down! ]
Whoa!!
[ If he could stop losing control of his elemental magic. He knew he couldn't depend on his blood magic right now, due to not eating proper, so elemental magic was his best option!
Right now, his current choice of earth magic was working... but it also threw him off balance with all the moving rock. That was nice. ]
Ehehe, sorry....

Ehehe, sorry....
You would think they'd just hire bug exterminators for this, not us...
[ He's still unsure on how to get them to move, but damn it, he was going to get them to move! ]
Hm... I wonder if we could use flowers. Bees like flowers, right?

[ Blood magic was easy. It was totally easy, as it was like using his own Drive back home, but with some bonuses. It was fun to know where people were just by listening. It was loud at first, but now was a lot easier to know where they were.
But elemental magic... the magic he came here with, was another story. He often lost control, no matter what he tried. It was to a point to where he thought he'd never get better! ]
Okay, once more!
[ Determined as ever, Naoto was currently using the training grounds in order to practice his ice magic. He intended to try and throw some ice as a projectile, but ended up creating an ice cube instead. ]
Oh come on!
[ He was trying. ]

[ She almost got slapped in the face with Earth magic, and her water magic had been all that stopped the rock from smacking her in the forehead. ]
What in the - WATCH OUT. What a mess your form is horrible.
[ Mona states, allowing for her water to strike deeply at a slime behind him. Something she arguably was use to doing in Teyvat. ]

I said I was sorry!
[ He adjusts himself on the new ground after the girl fired off her water magic. ]
I'm still new to the whole magic thing!

You're new? [ She begin with the most obnoxious tone, her arms flail outwards. Fingers snapping out as water sliced through some of the slimes attempting to come after them. ] And you thought it was a GOOD idea, to come flitting about in a fight with your method of magic using!?
[ She sounds snotty and annoyed, but she's more worried about him than anything. ]
[ She sounds snotty and annoyed, but she's more worried about him than anything. ]
[ Ah, that. That pissed him off, even if it did come from worry. ]
In my defense, I did-- I don't want to be messing with my blood magic, but since you asked!!
[ He decided not to cast anything elemental, but instead summoned forth a giant axe to slice open 6 slimes instead. He needed to clear slimes more effectively anyways. ]
Let's just watch each others back, yeah? You can yell at me later!

Fine. [ The woman retorts with a snap of her voice, seemingly glad that he decided to do something more familiar to him. While the slimes were about, especially with how he almost hit her with his magic. She could only presume the way of his casting, would only cause potential issue between them as the fight went on.
She continues to follow his movements - or attempts to. She is not so foreign wit hfighting along side others. Especially those who are melee in nature. If anything it was resourceful while he took the front, slimes being sliced about. She was able to keep up from behind. Making sure that anything he left over, she could in finish off with the pressure of her water magics. ] Theres more that way!

Sure, why not?
I know someone who works arranging flowers. We can try asking her help.
I'm just here for the honey. [SOLID LOGIC!]

[While elemental magic wasn't giving Kratos much trouble, he still liked to practice it whenever he could in order to keep his skills sharp. When he arrives at the training grounds today, there's already someone else here. This isn't a problem, of course, but he does take a moment to just observe the young man's progress before starting his own training.
It's... apparently not going as planned? Nice ice cube, though. Well, Kratos didn't have much going on today, so if the kid's open to it, perhaps he can give him some pointers.]
I take it that wasn't the result you were expecting.

[ Today was the day! And Boy was Naoto nervous!
He knew he got cleaned up as much as he could, as well as buying nicer clothes, but he couldn't help the butterflies in his stomach. It was weird. So weird. This was a friend date, so why was he working himself up so much?
Maybe it was because it was Makoto. Yeah, that checked out. He quickly knocked on her door, getting it over with. ]
You can do this, Naoto! [ A little pep talk never hurt anyone! ]

[ It was easy keeping up now, at least with his blood magic being a lot more familiar to him than it was playing with elemental magic. And from what it looked like, the girl was keeping up with him as best he could, He could get used to this, that's for sure. ]
I got it!
[ He takes a running start, soon slicing through a bunch of slimes with a swing of his arm that now carried a sword instead of an axe. But even with the path cleared, the teen realized they're not out of the woods yet-- some slipped past his attack, ]
On your right!

Lead the way, then!
[ Any way to get rid of the bees. ]
.... I mean, I am too, but that's not something you blurt out in front of everyone, y'know.

No, it wasn't. I wanted to try projectiles.
[ He huffs, glaring at the ice cube. He wishes he could do all the cool stuff he's seen others use! But he knows that requires practice, but... where does he even start? Who knows. ]
But then again, I'm clueless with this kind of magic. I don't know what I'm doing.

Mm, well. We all have to start somewhere. For a beginner, this is actually quite impressive.
[He plucks the ice cube up and looks it over, inspecting it probably closer than he really needs to. It's an ice cube, dude.]
When it comes to projectile spells, you're going to need to learn how to incorporate wind magic. I would suggest focusing on getting the shape of your ice right before trying that. Unless you're planning on pelting your enemies with ice cubes, that is.
[he kind of doubts that's the case, though. Here kid, he's gonna toss your ice cube to you.]

Okay, Makoto, you can do this.
[One more breath, one more run of her hands down her airy, lime green dress to smooth out nonexistent wrinkles... and she reached out to open the door, praying her dress looked okay, that her hair in a low ponytail over her shoulder didn't have any curls out of place, that her smile wasn't too nervous.]
N-naoto-kun, hi!
[ Stella's not usually one for the training grounds (given that she uses her magic for Literally Everything Except Fighting), but it's good to get the practice in now and then, if only to keep Violet from glaring holes into the back of her head. So here she is, looking to be in good cheer as usual and – oh look at that, Naoto's practicing.
She hangs back for a second, so as not to disturb his focus, but when she sees the results of his training... she's not laughing at him, exactly, but that sure is a peal of delighted laughter coming from her. ]
Oh my God, you are gonna be in business when summer comes around!

You think so?
[ He doubts he's telling the truth, as there was much to be desired, but he'll stifle that dissent for another day. He lets out a 'whoa' when the ice cube was tossed to him, trying his best to catch the ice cube with his limited mobility.
He does manage to do so, despite everything. ]
I am not! I just don't know where to start with combining the two. I'm still new to the whole magic thing...

Because you might give people the wrong impression! Makes you look selfish!
[ Honey was always good, but not when you're doing a thing for others! ]

Oh my god, Stella.
[ He recognized that laughter anywhere. It was so infectious that even he joined in, rolling his eyes with a grin on his face. ]
I didn't ask for ice cubes, you know! Magic isn't my thing!!

[THAT WAS THE FIRST TEST i guess i dunno.
And yeah, considering the kid's new to magic, popping out some ice cubes is pretty good.]
All the more reason to focus on one thing at a time. Try it again, but this time, focus on recreating this shape.
[He pauses, creating a sharp icicle in his own hand.]
When I was first learning magic, I found that having as visual aid for things like this was helpful.
