Hatamoto: Jigen-Ryu Dojo

A new dojo, south of town had just opened. Nobody knew anything about this dojo, and the kanji on the door said 'Irasshaimase' or welcome. The area had been closed off for a long time, and the owner of the dojo was equally mysterious. A man known only as Hatamoto, nobody knew what exactly he would be teaching his students, if any at all would show up. A Japanese woman stood outside, signing off the names of the people who signed up for the course. She was petite, but very courteous and kind-hearted. Once your name was signed for the free coarse, she would give a reply with her gentle voice.

"Enter please, Hatamoto is waiting."

Inside, one could notice that the size of the dojo was below average, but still enough to learn the course. Photographs of some of Hatamoto's students and their massive achievements were hung all over the opposite side of the room, near a door accompanied by a massive lock, as well as a hallway leading to other rooms. The building was obviously not originally a dojo, but the man obviously had experience teaching, as the people in the photos seemed really intimidating. The dojo was now open. All that remained was the waiting for students, which shouldn't have been too troublesome, as posters were hung all over the city.
