The Military Academy [Dojo/POI]

[Ancestor Febrie]

The military academy was built a long time ago during the times of reform and change of the way people in this village lived. It is one of the oldest and most preserved building aside from the palace. The academy has several floors where each floor holds classes that teach tactics, leadership and research new formations for the village army. Only the strongest warriors can attend the academy and when one graduates, they either become generals or join Duke/Duchess personal guard (Blue Company). The academy is not opened to any foreigners at any time, there are some exceptions though.

Slowly a male would arrive to the military academy, a boy of young age it appeared he sighed and rubbed the back of his head, scratching the back of his head as he gave a slight sigh, "I guess I could look about and see if I could find a place to practice my own skills." He shrugged, dusting off his outfit. It had been a rather long and tiring trip from rock to here, and the time he had spent here so far as a member of it's village was nice. He took in a long deep breath before making his way to the front door. Slowly opening it, he looked to see the large opening and stairs that lead to the higher levels. He then made his way to the attendant up front and asked somewhat politely,"so, do you have any levels for Kenjutsu training?" She gave a slight nod and spoke for him to head up to level 25. But then asked for his name. He then stated,"oh...yea...I'm Miyamoto Bennosuke." She gave a nod and said for him to head off. He then sighed and headed up, walking up the flight of stairs with a casual stride. Before reaching level 25, giving a slight sigh and opened the door. Preparing to begin the training ahead.

As Miyamoto arrived onto the 25th floor and slide the door open, he saw a single person sitting there in a room. Upon the room's walls were several kendo sticks, armor. Pictures and Paintings of students and masters alike. It's obvious that this kenjutsu dojo had been teaching people for several years. Behind the sensei was a shrine, it was a simple bhuddist shrine which stated that the sensei of the dojo was a bhuddist. No big deal to him, as he took a step inside slowly the person arose. It was a female in a very simple blue and green Hakama, equiped with a black sash and with red stripe. Meaning the female infront of him was a Battoujutsu master, as he bowed she stated, "so young one. You've come for training? I see, your a apparent Kenjutsu user by the weapon you wield. Welcome, and I hope you've prepared for a long training."

Miyamoto gave a nod as he drew his Kendo stick, the trainer glanced and watched how he stood, "your going towards the way of Battoujutsu. Good, as it's my specialty. Now, we must begin." As she drew her own kendo stick in hand and took a single stance, bringing up her stick infront of her face. Much like any standard samurai stance. After taking this stance she then stated, first I want you to sheath, draw and attack from a angle. Then sheath. Once you've completed this action and can do it quickly. I will teach you the next skill."

Miyamoto agreed to this as he began practicing it, starting with the stanse. His placed himself into a stance which required him to draw in a crouched position. Which immediately got him a , "no, wrong." As she whacked him on the back of the head with a open handed smack. He growled a bit but took another stance, slightly more stood up. She looked for a few seconds before whacking him once more, "wrong. Allow me to show you." As she herself took another stance, this one seemed more to be more...angled and she appeared to be spreading herself further away then he was. With a nod he tried to take this stance, feeling odd at first he eventually got used to it.

Next he began drawing It, and of course. He was doing it wrong, she smacked his hand and said, "your master before you must of just let you get by on the basics. I'll have to fix that." As she then showed him how to draw properly. It seemed pretty redundant as he was only off by a few small centimeters but she was the sensei. He then began drawing it as she stated and striking before sheathing. It caused him exhaustion but allowed him to practice it properly. Eventually his muscles got used to moving in this form, which would allow him to use all of the previous things he had learned in the correct way.

After many hours of practicing this single strike Miyamoto's sensei walked forward, time for me to see what you can do. Strike at me with what you've learned." As she took her own stance (The same one she taught him earlier) She awaited for his strike, he did so. Drawing the kendo stick and quickly aiming to land a blow across her abdomen, only to be countered and knocked back. His side hurt from the crack of the kendo stick. He looked at her as she stated, "Good, we will continue this tomorrow." With this she left, leaving young Miyamoto alone in the room. Figuring that he didn't have anywhere else to stay, he went to a corner of the area and slept. Figuring the dojo was a better place then the cold wilderness.
