A note had gone out to the students that there would be a class being run by retired ANBU Sennin Akira Saito.
It was weird for Akira. He had retired a long time ago, though he was still officially a member of ANBU it was as the blacksmith and so he'd hoped to be forgotten and left alone. Yet he received parcels regularly from the worshipers of Shinbatsu, his master and the man who in the darkest of times saved Akira's will to live, and thus his life. It was weird for him though because a number of the veteran teachers walked with him, asking him questions, as though he were some form of celebrity in their eyes. He answered the questions, he hoped they were to draw upon his experiences to then pass on to the students rather than because of some belief in Shinbatsu as a divine being. Not that Akira didn't believe that he was, but because it didn't matter to Akira what state of spirituality someone had achieved, in his eyes Shinbatsu was and will always be his most respected master before anything else.
The class today would cover a brief theory on the ANBU, just Akira letting the newest generation know the ins and outs of becoming an ANBU, the positive and the negatives that come with it and answering any questions they might have.
The second part of the class would be to do with melee combat, specifically weapon combat. Swords and unarmed were more Akira's forte but he could try and teach other weapons should someone wish to learn them.
Akira's own monstrous blade sat in the corner of the room, the blade was two meters long and at the hilt sat a metal oval with a slit running perpendicular to the blade, looking almost like a closed eye. The handle was long enough for probably four large hands, but was designed so that Akira could shift where his hands were holding it to allow for the best leverage according to what he was doing with his attack or defense.
He would now wait for the time for the class to begin. Thirty minutes and then he would start.
