I originally planned to have him live in Rukongai, but when I got to this point, I had a sudden idea and added this section.

The middle-aged teacher led Yoriichi past two classroom buildings to a spacious swordsmanship training ground.
Wooden swords were neatly arranged around the training ground. Dozens of students stood in several rows, practicing the most basic sword swings.
"One!"

"Don't bend so low at the waist."
