was sitting beneath a tree with his back leaning on tree's trunk, his cane laying on the grass. He was wearing a pair of straight pantaloons and a white dress shirt that had seen better days. What was different between this and other days was that Sherlock seemed more distant than usually, yet you could see the passion burning within his eyes. The hours passed as Sherlock was just sitting there, waiting for somebody very important that would come and guide him on his way.

I listen to your description and follow carefully your steps as you show them to me. As my turn comes I take a place in which I am standing straight towards me and move my arms and legs so that my shoulders are parallel to my feet. Then, as you instructed I place my right foot forwards while shuffling it (without lifting it of course) and shuffle my left foot backwards at the same time.

Good work, this is the basic posture of samurai now clench your fists and to your sides and the outer hand facing downwards. Then take your left hand placing it onto the scabbard at your left side and taking your right to unsheave your katana, whilst taking a vicegrip at a 45 degree angel at the base of the hilt and unsheave the katana. As you bring it fully out the scabbard bring your left hand taking the same grip to the bottom of the hilt and then level the hilt to your belly at about a fist distance away then raise the blade to point at my throat and keep that stance with the same posture maintaining the square posture of having your shoulders parallel like this diagram below:

I grab my cane and hold it with both of my hands so that my right hand is holding the handle of it and my left hand holds it from the other end. After that I twist my left hand that causes a loud clicking sound be heard as I detach the two parts and reveal the sword cane. I then follow instructions you gave to me and grab the handle of the sword with both of my hands while placing it on my stomach level and point your head with it. Once having alligned my sword, I watch once left and right to adjust my position so that my shoulders parallel in square posture.

Good work, now that the basic position has been attained we shall move onto basic attack and defence. For attack i want you to raise your sword above your head keeping it in the center of your body and your right left hand just above your head and then as you bring it down step forward with your right foot first into the attack aiming for this dummies head and then step backwards with your left foot first then bringing your sword back to the same starting position aiming for the neck. this in kendo is known as Men-do​

'Very well... Men-do it is then.''

I keep the stance in which I am in and slowly raise my sword above my head whistl keeping it in the center of my body. As my left hand reaches the height just above my head I swing the sword down while stepping forward. I then swiftly step backwards with my left foot first and bring my sword back to the strating position. I continue repeating this for few more times until I stop and place the sword so that it rests on my shoulder.

''That wasn't so hard, was it?''

''Bring it on, whippersnapper''

As you take the basic stance I do the same and watch you approach me with one step. I tighten my graps around the sword's hilt and bring it up swiftly while slightly tilting it left with my right hand. The counter causes our swords to clash, deflecting yours and sending it back whistl quickly turning my sword from left side to center. At the same time I take a step forward and bring my sword down upon you and stop it before it hits your body.

''Seems like you live to see another day, youngster.''

I face the dummy and take the Sha no Kame stance while wielding my blade outwards. I grab the handle tightly as I continue with the basic charkra circulation to guide some of my chakra into the sword. I stand there with eyes closed for about ten seconds, maintaining the chakra flow whilst my sword begins to radiate blue-ish glow. After the ten seconds have passed, I open my eyes and swing the sword upwards to see a thin blue crescent be released from the edge of my sword that hits the dummy, shattering it in two.

''Well, this was most... unexpected. Seems like this training isn't just a waste of time.''

I approach the dummy and stop in front of it. Then I take the Sha no Kamae position again and place my blade outwards as . I guide my chakra into it to cause it to glow with blue-ish tint. I think for a second what would be the best way to hit the dummy and decide to go for a horizontal swing with the sword. I tighten my grip on the handle and make a swing at the dummy while altering my position so that I return to Sha no Kamae stance this time facing the other direction.
