[He pauses. In his day and age, it's unheard of for a woman to practice the sword. However-- he notes that in this place, exceptions should be made. It's the culture, after all. And sometimes, exceptions yielded the best fruit.]
The course is rigorous, though, and I don't accept slackers~ there's no special treatment for newcomers, either.
I've been taking Kendo since I could walk and I have three brothers to teach me. And I don't slack on anything especially when it comes to bettering myself.
My name is Hikaru Shidou. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Heh; well that's the spirit, then. It's a good start.
Hikaru--? [Japanese? That's an even better start; he hasn't met many from his native home here, yet.]
Likewise, Shidou. I'm Souji Okita. You can call me Souji, I don't like to be called Sensei~ makes me sound too old and worn.
[Here, to amuse her, he hunches his back a little to illustrate his point, smirking.]
[ooc: Hey! I just realized that your character is a student from Japan! If you'd like, she can feel free to 'break the fourth wall', so to speak! Souji was the most famous swordsman in Japanese history, and is a subject in many schools/a character in many dramas. So if you'd like to go ahead and have her already know him, that's A-OK! If not, that's fine, too! :D]
Now Alice, it would have been no fun if I announced it with all that other stuff, right? I need to wait to give it a proper announcement, all by itself.
[He's going to take one look at the video feed, and be more than satisfied by the offer. A man who looks exactly like Kondou-san? He couldn't imagine becoming disappointed.]

I just arrived here, so I'm not apart of the academy, but I would like to take your class.

Now if I break that promise, something very bad will happen; so I'd better not, hmm?

[A slightly peculiar name.
Smiling with only half his mouth, he answers,]
As soon as possible. We can take the lead, and others can join when they will, if you're ready to go.
And, oh? A man of your age still needs lessons...?
[Testing the waters here. A man who looks like Kondou-san, and is interested in sword practice? Hm~
Getting more interesting to him by the second.]
