A prestigious dojo with various sensei's from different dimensions to help hone weak-kneed novices into graceful and deadly swordsmen or heavy-hitting head-on fighters. They say that one session with even one of the masters in this dojo is eqiuvalent to a year's training and could turn an inexperienced novice into a battle-hardened warrior in a single day. Makes you wonder what they really do inside, doesn't it?

[Enters from Unlimited Blade Works]
Looking over the sensei list, Benjamin recognized the names of a few styles, but none of the names. 'Well, I guess that figures... Transdimensional and all that.'
Benjamin smirked inwardly. 'Paranoid, much?'
In response, the sword flooded the empty dojo with satsuki.
It bore down on Benjamin's spirit with all the terrifying weight he remembered. The onmitsu did not try to throw it off with sheer force of will, however. Instead, he merely held steady until his ki was aligned properly. Upon entering the Getsumi no Michi (Moonlit Path), the sword's killing intent slid over his focused spirit, washing across him like a waterfall splashing off a boulder.
'Done with your temper tantrum?'
Feeling the change in the onmitsu's ki, and seeing how he was no longer weighed upon by the satsuki, the sword ceased its assault.
Benjamin chuckled. 'You keep calling me that... Am I really? And even if so, are you going to keep me that way?'
There was a long pause. Finally, a mental snort was heard. once.>
Drawing Tenrou, Benjamin grinned.

{Enters from UBW}
Sorce strode into the Rasetsu dojo like a man on a mission, like a debutante out for an escort, like a guy who really needs to pee looking for a restroom.
He spotted Harris standing in the middle of the floor (hard not to, really), and called over. "Hey, teach! We need to talk!"

Benjamin stood facing the dojo's north wall, his sword drawn but resting across his right shoulder in a deceptively casual stance. A moment later, he moved.
A left-step forward, and he struck at the first of four foes: from rest, the sword blurred over his head and around, and Migi Nagi cleaved through his imaginary throat.
Yet the motion continued, out to Benjamin's right side, where his hand blurred. Suddenly grasped in reverse, a twist of the wrist and arm whipped the blade around to strike behind, at the southern foe; this second Migi Nagi disemboweled him.
Then the onmitsu was moving again. His left foot shifted across his line to the east, and he turned on the balls of his feet. At the same time, Benjamin's right hand lifted the reverse-gripped sword over his head, where his left hand joined it as he turned to face south. Suddenly he bent low, ducking under a cut from the western foe. His right foot was now moving, sliding backwards toward the north, as he spun the sword into a standard grip. He twisted, like a spring released, again on the balls of his feet, to face west and his Migi Kiriage caught the western enemy by surprise, robbing him of sword and arm and imagined life.
Finally, but one phantom foe remained. Coldly, dispassionately, Benjamin taunted his foe with a rearward right step, still presenting his vulnerable back. Then, he turned one final time, one-hundred-and-eighty degrees. His sword flowed smoothly from the Migi Kiriage's completion stance into a beautiful, brutal Kara Take.
From there, it was all casual motion. Returning to face north, Benjamin spun the blade about his right hand, in chiburi, and swept it clean. Elegantly, continuing the same motion, he sheathed it.
Harris took a slow, deep breath, and finally relaxed.
Mumyo Jinpu Ryuu, fear is as much your weapon as form and blade.>
'I get'cha.' Rolling his shoulders, Harris turned. "Yes Marionne-kun?"
((SamDeep Kyo freaks, read the manga vol.1 to see that second hand-switch-cut in action. Ruroken freaks, if you don't recognize the names of those cuts, SHAME ON YOU!!!))

If Sorce was impressed in any way by the sword-theatrics, he didn't show it. "It's about this Twilight thing," Sorce said as he crossed deeper into the dojo. "Falconer and I have been thinking that maybe we need an organized defense for it when i comes. To that end, we're trying to bring to together everyone that was sent here so that we don't get picked off like the idiots in a slasher movie."

Benjamin shrugged. "Alright then. Where to?" he asked, grabbing his coat off a hook by the entrance as he followed Sorce back out onto the street.

Sorce thought briefly. "Well, as I seem to have lost them... we can try looking for Ren and Falconer again. Hang on..."
Lifting the Millennium Ring still hanging around his neck, Sorce briefly conversed with Mana on how to use it. "Ring, find Ren."
The points of the ring instantly pointed towards the hospital.
"Well, there she is," he said, and started walking. "Come on, let's go..."
