Ginryu: School of the Fist » Places

         Shin catches the question, and a slow grin spreads wickedly over his face. "Oh, you'll see," he replies with an offhand tone. Then, just because he can't resist: "I'll be taking you guys after lunch today, but before that Grumpy gets ya, and Pai-an's somewhere in there too. I don't suppose ya've met Grumpy? Most people call him Ken, but it's Hasegawa-sensei to you cretins," he continues, ending in another perfect impersonation, this one of the crankiest instructor on the island.

Chuckling a bit to himself at his own joke, he turns to the four of them. "Okay, kiddos, time to look alive! The real fun starts here." He winks most mischievously, and gives the group a mock bow before leaving them at the entrance to the main practice building, usually obscured by the dining one, and containing several large indoor training rooms.

Mizuki at least knew what this was; the building was structured exactly like a dojo. Not exactly reassured by Shin's attitude towards this encounter, she wondered if perhaps Hasegawa-sensei was the instructor they had met the previous evening? She hadn't caught a name, and so it was impossible to tell for sure, but...

She removed her shoes upon entering the building and made her way to the first of the rooms, where a few students were already lined up, facing the instructor. She gulped as she joined them. It was, to her dismay, one and the same man as before.
