Mike was ecstatic. Once school let out, he rushed to the Kendo Team's practice room to meet up with Keiichi. After he took off his shoes, he walked further into the dojo and took a Bokken from Keiichi "woah. This is pretty heavy for a piece of wood this big." While it did weigh more then he expected, it wasn't too much for him to handle. He spent a little time adjusting to the weight of the weapon before Keiichi instructed him to get into the same stance that he was in. After that, he told him to swing the Bokken 20 times. When he asked if Mkie had any questions, he answered with "nope, I'm good for now." That said, he began to put all of his concentration into the weight and feel of the wooden sword in his hand. Before he took his first swing, he directed all of his focus at the sword. Once he felt ready, he took his first swing. It felt...strange. He then proceeded to swing it 19 more times, making sure to maintain his focus.
