"My name is Daidoji Kobushi," he answers. "I am taking the class to expand my knowledge, learn ways to apply my training to combat against other types of supernatural threats."
"And to possibly identify which spirits aren't hostile."
Introduction done, he takes his seat.

"It will be a good thing to know which spirits do not want to hurt you," he suggested, offering a nod to Kobushi. "Or at least intentionally."

Yokohime was quiet in the back as she waited for Kojima to start his explanations. She had taken out her notebook to make notes. Even though she just doodle on the edge of the pages.

Koko's phone vibrated and spooked the girl. "Huh..." She blinked a few times as she didnt recognize the number then it hit her that Kiki had no phone and may have asked someone for it. She typed a quick message to the unknown number. Write on the phone to the sensei.
Koko stood up to follow Kojima's instructions. "I am Isawa Kokoro and I would like to learn the perils that I would encounter if I stray from the path I mostly take to visit the spirit realms."

"Please turn off your phones, or put them away during class, Isawa-san," Isao said, nodding. Otherwise, he seemed pleased with her response. "Very well then, let's begin."
Don't think I haven't missed you, Yokohime.
Kojima turned to the board and drew a diagram - it was three circles; a center circle with two circles that created an overlap. The outer two circles did not overlap.
"When we begin to discuss the spirit realms, there are three we must discuss first. First, Ningen-do. This is the realm we are on now. The next is Tengoku. Last is Jigoku. Tell me class, what can you tell me about these three spirit realms and how they interact with one another? I should note we will be approaching topics of an uncomfortable nature in this class. However, we speak academically. If anyone is uncomfortable, feel free to tell me.
Now, anyone?"

Yoko raised her hand and spoke up. "People tend to confuse them. Jigoku is chaos and lack of order... Tengoku is one of order who establishes those who belong to it."

"This is correct, but they are also more," Kojima noted, looking at the Scorpion at the back of the room with stern eyes. "Would anyone else like to elaborate?"

"Gomen sensei... It seems that my sister has gotten lost on her first day without me." She silenced the phone.
"Well... Ningen Do is in the middle because it aspires to the perfection of Tengoku but it has the flaws of Jigoku..." The Isawa wasn't very sure of her words.

"To the contrary, Ningen-do is the staging ground for war between the heavens and hell; Tengoku - as we can see on the diagram - does not overlap with Jigoku. What this means is that Tengoku must use its influence over Ningen-do to influence Jigoku. If anyone is familiar with the legacy of the Day of Thunder, this is precisely why this event occurs: Tengoku requires agent on Ningen-do to combat Jigoku in the mortal realm as neither realm can face the other directly. Thus they use indirect means: Ningen-do."
He looked across the class. "Any questions so far...?"

Kobushi nods. The concept was familiar to him, having been taught the basics of fighting the Shadowlands.
