(Network Post) Greetings

[rulebook]

Good afternoon, fellow students. I am Ryuta Tanemoto. I'm a 2nd year and an active member in the kendo club as well as the school band.

I wish to inform you that although this is the beginning of the school year, you should be made aware of all the rules before too long. I am sure all of you received your copies of the student handbook, so be sure to catch up on all the details. Negligence is unacceptable, as it is your duty to know and understand each and every rule.

If you have any questions on the matter, I will be available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and some other times throughout the week. Unless of course there is a test coming up, in which case you all should be studying.

Sincerely,
Ryuta Tanemoto

Ooh. I see.

But either way, you don't want to admit that you enjoy striking any partner that you train with. Therefore, you still enjoy hitting people with your sword, right? What if you put away your weapon and use non-violence? Would it be the same?

Sad to say, I'm not as sadistic as you believe me to be, Imaizumi. I simply use Kendo as a means of relaxation. I take no joy from beating a person.

While there have been times that I have used my skills outside of practice, I have ever only done so to defend myself. Surely you would not put me at fault for protecting myself?

[burningbow]

You think I would? How sad. Your desperate efforts are something that would have my full support.

... Unless you don't even want that, of course.

Hmm. I will take your offer into consideration. I will say that I found this debate... rather interesting.

Likewise. Thank you for your time.
