"Alright listen up!" In a lonesome valley located in a park, both Shizuka and Joichi could be seen, with Shizuka seemingly ordering Joichi around "This is the beginning of your training, cadet! Im gonna be teaching you the basics in Standology!" She explained as Joichi sweat dropped "Ok but... Do we have to do this now? Dad's going to a coffee shop that is possibly related to Theostaltos and im kinda worried about him..." Joichi said with worry driping from his voice

"Dont worry! its Josuke, he'll be fine" Shizuka casted his worries aside as she took a few steps back "Now first things first, summon your stand" She ordered

"uh [Lover Boy]?" Joichi ackwardly summoned as the now familiar presence manifested itself besides him, the stand merely tilting his head confused as to what was happening "Good good, it's fully visible, thats good" Shizuka nodded repeatedly as she noted erratically everything on a small notebook "You are... awfully energetic today..." Joichi sweat dropped as looked at shizuka weirdly "what can i say? I love studying stands" She shrugged

"Alright, Do you already know what it does?" She asked receiving a nod from the indigo haired boy "Lover Boy allows me to manipulate and use my own aura to do multiple things" Shizuka notted everything down "Can you explain it more profoundly?"

"Yeah sure, well i dont know if i can explain it properly but..." He took a deep breathe in an attempt to prepare himself for the explanation "Every single thing that is alive has a soul, i suppose you know that? Well, what my stand allows me to do is to shift my own soul to allow me acces to aura" He explained "Whats the difference between Soul and Aura?" Shizuka tilted her head in confusion "Ah... well, in simple terms, Imagine the soul like a big body of water and Aura like waves on the body of water."

"The waves are merely a byproduct of the body of water being disturbed by wind, Its the same with Aura, its merely a byproduct of my stand intervening with my own soul" He explained as he stared through Lover Boy's visor, the two stars inside it shining with what Joichi sweared was amusement

"Well... I think i got it" Shizuka didn't waste time as she notted everything down "But why does your.. 'Aura', change colors sometime?" She asked while looking at him expectantly "Well, the soul covers one's whole body Shizu" He turned to look back at her "I cant use it all without risking a bunch of things im not willing to risk- Like imagine i end up wasting all my aura and in turn i become a soulles being?" He shivered at the thought "Im not willing to take that risk" He scratched his head a bit embarrassed "But continuing on the colors, so i dont end up soulless, i divided my aura into seven different points throughout my body, each one being designated a color automatically" He finished his explanation as Shizuka notted every single word down on her notebook "So you divided your ability into multiple abilities to avoid death?" She questioned "Pretty much" he quickly answered gaining a nod from her

"Hmm... Alright, listen here Joi" Shizuka closed her notebook after inspecting her notes for a few seconds, keeping it on her pocket as she tossed her greatcoat aside and started stretching confusing Joichi with her actions

"You and me, here and now, No refusing" She ordered him just before he could say anything about it making Joichi sigh as he took both his jacket and his school uniform, leaving him only with a plain white shirt covering his torso "What even is the point of this?" Joichi asked as he did some slight streches "Im gonna test you and your stand, if you wanna help Josuke and i with Theostaltos, i gotta know if you can keep up" She finished while taking a few steps back
