Still just a Junior Hero [OPEN]
Characters: Sora (destined_skies) and OPEN to the Amestris!
Content: Basically, an excuse for Sora to show off his Awesome But Impractical weapon. Pointing and laughing might ensue. Also, a general CR thread!
Setting: Training/exercise room/what-have-you on the Amestris.
Time: Throughout the afternoon and evening, before the Amestris takes off on it's next journey.
Warnings: Shounen antics?
[ooc: My tags may still be a bit lethargic, so bear with me. But my slowatus is almost broken! |D]
"Yah! ...Huah!"
Slashing his giant key weapon at the punching bag hanging from the training room's ceiling, Sora watched with a satisfied smile as the wighted equipment wobbled and swung after being struck. Another solid hit! He was definitely getting better at this.
Initially, switching between a light, wooden sword and the unweildy blade currently in his hands had been somewhat of a challenge. Swinging something that was suddenly three times heavier than what one was used to tired you out a lot faster (he came to realize after his first few training sessions), and made your arms hurt after only a few consecutive swings. And for someone who'd never been the most dedicated to his sword practice in the first place, the learning curve was steep, indeed.
But Sora hadn't given up. After all that had happened on the Winding Way, and the challenge it had presented to him afterward, he'd decided it was time to buckle down and get serious about honing his skills.
Which was why for the past week, he'd been careful to set aside a couple hours out of each day to come to the Amestris' training room, usually in the later hours when there weren't as many people around. Today, though, was his day off, and he supposed he might as well use it to get in a little extra practice.
"Take tha--huh!" The angle of that swing hadn't been quite right, causing his weapon to bounce back more than normal. Well, he was definitely getting a little better.
