"Basically, the parabolic movement is just you extending the movement of your body." Elsa raised a finger, giving Noel the shortest explanation possible.
"Extending the movement of my body?" Noel tilted his head in confusion.
"Yes." Elsa took out a small coin from her pocket and threw it into the air. "Look at the coin. After we throw the coin, it will create a curve to go up to the highest point before going down, right?"
"Indeed."
"This is what you call parabolic movement. You create a curve to the limit before it goes another way. If you take a look closely, this kind of movement is like you extending your body and attaching that coin to a thread, right?"
"Well, that's true." Noel nodded in agreement while raising one of his fingers, imagining the thread that tied a coin. If he swung the coin, it would create the same movement. "But doesn't that mean we can create a movement from the side or probably from the bottom?"
