"You're swinging too stiffly. Be more fluid in your movements."
It was another day. And another day of training. Juniper and Towa were sparring with each other. Bamba was watching them from the sidelines. Juniper was quite surprised when he started giving them some pointers on what to do differently. They did their best to listen to what he was saying and try it out. It was quite hard at times though.
To no surprise, Towa claimed the victory for their match. Juniper knew it would still be a bit before they were anywhere close to being able to win a fight against someone else. They had a lot to learn still and were very much still struggling with not grasping their sword the wrong way.
"You did a lot better, Juniper." Towa smiled at them.
"You think so?" Juniper replied.
"You lasted a lot longer this fight."
"You did, but you still are not holding your sword properly. That's what's causing the most of your stiffness. You don't have enough space to move with it when you grip the sword the way you do." Bamba stated.
"I... I'm trying..." Juniper sighed.
"Old habits are hard to break."
"But, it's okay! Juniper is doing better!" Towa stated.
"They are." Bamba agreed.
"I wish I could've trained like you guys did..." Juniper mumbled.
"It's a shame you didn't get it easy." Towa nodded. "I would've loved to have you there to train with!"
They were cut off from their conversation by Koh calling them on their changers to ask about doing a ryusoul trade. Juniper had no idea what he was talking about but Bamba and Towa seemed to. Juniper just tagged along as they went to meet up with the others. They hoped it would make sense what this was when they got there.
...
"It's been a while since we traded." Towa said as the three of them entered the house.
Koh, Asuna, Melto, and Ui were all there waiting. They seemed happy to see the three of them. Juniper still had no indication about what was happening. They were embarrassed to ask Towa so they just kept quiet and out of the way.
"I have most of everything so there's not much point." Bamba stated.
"Alright, let's start!" Koh stated.
It was then Juniper kind of realized what was going on. Everyone had their ryusouls out. They traded them?
"I'm confused..." Juniper whispered to Towa. "I don't know what this is."
"We find the ryusouls out in the wild and all and sometimes we will trade them to get ones we want." Towa replied to them. "I'll have to take you on an adventure to look for some so you can have your own to use. I can give you some of mine that I don't use much if you want too."
"I... if that's okay..."
"Of course."
Juniper stood back and watched as everyone presented the ryusouls they were willing to trade. They even offered up explanations as to what they did. Juniper was learning a lot about the ryusouls. Hopefully soon they would have their own to use. It would be nice to get an advantage in a fight like everyone else did. It would be really helpful for them since they still were not the best fighter there was.
"Do you have a Tsuyo Soul?" Koh asked Bamba.
"Yeah." Bamba pulled it out of his bag.
"Then let's trade!" Koh held up a Fue Soul.
