He made his way to the shoe cabinet as he finished his cigarette. the classes were about to start as the bell announced the start of the day. Sadly, there were no size 15s in the cabinet so he managed to squeeze in to the largest soft shoe available. 
Once inside he was met with curious stares from the students already gathered and by the looks of it there were a few foreigners other than him around. As there were many foreigners in his class the attention of the natives was diverted. He found the last seat by the window side to be his liking and seated himself.

The student council was easy to convince and the club hardly required space yet Inoue Matsuhida who had proposed the club recruitment flier managed to get the spare equiment room for the club activities. The club mainly practised philosophies of Tae Kwon Do through Inoue, Muay Thai through Sagat Shrichapan and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu through Alexai.

The juniors seemed to be frightened of me a bit." she said straightforwardly.

She was not overly muscular but she was upright and a bit intimidating, her jawline clearly visible and the high ponytail helped accentuate her chiseled face.
