"Called it", you giggled softly as You and Mizu headed East towards the Shindo Dojo like the prostitutes from the Shindo House told you to.
"I figured too they gave us the wrong directions", she said. "Sure you did", you scoffed rolling your eyes.
Silence overtook the both of you during the walk towards the Shindo Dojo, approaching its stairs. Even with the harsh cold winds that nipped at your skin, the sun gave enough light to make the land tranquil and beautiful. The blue shadows in the ice matched her eyes.
"What is it", Mizu asked noticing you staring at her.
"What's going through your head", you asked. "What do you mean", she questioned. "What's your plan", you asked. "Simple ask what I want to know", she answered. "And if they don't tell you", you asked. "This isn't the first day with me...you know what I'll do", she answered before grasping the bronze door knocker and pounding it against the metal of the huge Shindo Dojo gate.
The gate was huge. Its scarlet and ebony black metal contrast the bronze emblem in the center of the dual gates. A small slot opened up revealing a pair of eyes.
"No new students. Find another school", the man says sternly then closes the slot.
Mizu grabbed the knocker again and tapped it against the gate's metal three times. The slot opens up once more.
"I'm not a student", Mizu states. "I bring a message for the master of the Shindo Dojo".
The man closed the slot. The slot a few bars down opens up, he held his hand out ushering for the physical message.
"...I must deliver it personally", Mizu says. The bottom slot closes up.
The hinges strain as the huge gates open splitting the emblem down the middle revealing the huge building of the Shindo Dojo. Mizu and you stepped onto the grounds, entering the gated area.
"Your friend must wait outside", the guide says. "She comes with me", Mizu replies. The man released an annoyed sigh before turning his back on the both of you. He leads you toward where the master of the Shindo Dojo is.
As you walk you can see the different teachings. From proper etiquette of students spouting each other tea to a group of students sitting bare outside in the cold to students challenging each other to a duel.
You soon enter a big open room, in front of a huge golden emblem is a man writing a message in ink onto a scroll. Mizu and you both sat down on your knees. You glanced back noticing four men dressed in yellow uniform behind the two of you.
"You may leave any message with me", he says not even glancing up from his scroll.
"What must be said must be said to the master directly", Mizu replies. "I assure you, what is for the master is for me, as I assure you the master does not meet with messengers", the man says still writing Kanji onto his scroll.
