It should really come as no surprise to Koshiro that the dojo would be one of the messiest places after club day was done. Broken bokken, a few loosened floor boards, a hole in the wall, torn and beaten practice dummies, stains here and there. There was a lot of cleaning and repairs to be made here. To be fair, there had been quite a few clubs here, though none of which he had visited. He was getting enough exercise from swimming and having to do maintenance work, thank you very much. And it seemed like right now he would really have to use those muscles.
Must've been a few really overeager club members around here trying to show off. The ronin sighed and shook his head before getting on with the work. There was a lot of work to be done.

After standing around all day without much activity, Akane makes her way to the dojo, still in her swimsuit but with a tanktop and denim shorts on over it; She needs a workout. And not weights either, because Kunshu needed one to.
Walking in with the six food no-dachi in hand she sees said mess... and the student who ate lots of melon earlier, "Oh, hello there... Kojiro-san, was it? Fancy seeing you here."

The ronin boy looks up from his sweeping and sees the sensei from swimming club earlier. He gives her a polite bow, still holding the broom he was using at the moment. "Ah, hello sensei. It's Koshiro, actually. Sorry, I'm still cleaning up the mess around here from today's various club day activities. I'll try to work faster so you might practice your, ah, katas." He begins sweeping faster.

She smiled at him, "Koshiro-san then. My apologies. And no hurry, look at all this room we got."
She held out her sword, both arms outstretched as she did a graceful dancer's twirl on the wooden floor, grinning.
"Yes, this is already more than fine for us."

"If you say so, sensei." Koshiro nods and continues his work cleaning the dojo floors first. "If I may ask, sensei, what classes do you teach?"

"Oh... gym, performing arts. So sports and dancing and singing and such. Nothing that requires smarts fortunately, just determination and practice."
The way she draws the no-dachi is almost art itself, a long practiced motion where the slightly curved blade sings out in a smooth arc around the woman. It's at this point Koshiro would be able to notice the sword is glowing with darkness, shadowy red-black tendrils of non-light swirling over and around the blade.

"Ah, think I have gym at least, so I guess that makes you one of my class senseis." Koshiro looks up from his sweeping every now and then to watch her practice with her weapon. Which looked... dark. Dark with hints of red. He blinks and rubs his eyes. Maybe he was just tired and is seeing things. "That's a nice sword you have, sensei. I'm more of a heavy weapon user personally."

"It is the best sword in the Empire, Koshiro-san. And my best friend. Would you like to meet her?"
Her warm up comes to a stop as she looks at the young man intently.

Koshiro froze. Did she mean for him to meet her dark sword intimately? Like as it cuts through his skin, or pierces his flesh, or passes through his stomach?!
"N-No, no. I-It's fine, sensei. I-I don't mean to disturb your practice. P-Please spare me." He's noticeably shaking, pondering his options.

Perhaps she could have done better than pointing a sword at the boy and saying that.
'Dumb Akane, dumb!'
Akane sighs and smiles reassuringly, "I didn't mean like THAT. Apologies. She's a living sword; Kunshu-sama, the sword of Hantei. She won't hurt you, I swear on my ancestors."
