Action ☯ Open

[perfectingjin]

[ All week long he has the same schedule. For his weapons class, he would offer advice and show higher stances, working with the students in how to move with instead of fight against the momentum of their weapons. The obstacle was set up with the idea of not losing their weapons while running, dodging and crawling through the different terrains available, and then set the students to clean their weapons while on a cool down march. He next sets them up against each other and the ones that were too good or too over confident he would take on, correcting their moves and egos by precise application of bruises and gentle chiding.

For Philosophy, he speaks a lot about the different theories, waxing at length about the mind and how impulses drive the body and vice verses. When his accent grows too thick, or he cannot find the proper word, he switches to Japanese, which sometimes leads to an explanation of how different words are even in languages and applies it to the governing thought of the moment. It's a chaotic class, jumping from thought to thought, but he seems to enjoy the discussions, especially when someone brings up a new word or a new idea.

After classes and the paperwork generated by them - forms for medical treatments, forms over homework, and forms he thinks they just got tossed into the mix to make sure he's paying attention - Yoshi heads for the library to browse the books and take out a bunch written in a language he can understand better. If the book is interesting enough, he will start reading it as he walks along the campus on the way to the cafeteria or the Quad.

Weekends often had him spending time in the Training Center. If asked, he will take a student or two outside to fight random monsters. Of course, that is if the students were good with all their classes at the time. Extra training sessions can be gained, and he is always up for a spar with other instructors. ]

As to what I like to eat?

[ The miso did smell good; he takes a moment to try some, humming in appreciation of the flavors. ]

I am just a simple villager. [ Never mind that he carries his swords like a nobleman. Yoshi spent most of his years inside a dojo and then with the monks. He did not consider himself part of any great family as his father claimed. ]

I like good food. And sake.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Hyahyahya! Good food I can provide, in any form. I certainly cannot complain that you will be hard to please!

[perfectingjin]

I would? How is that?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

You wouldn't! That is why I would not complain! Your answer is thick with the syrup of wisdom. To favor 'good food' over a specific dish is to appreciate cooking for what it is, rather than what it produces.

[perfectingjin]

Food should be savored and one should not be afraid to try something new. That is what makes it interesting when one is traveling.

Most people seem to always have a favorite dish. I know I like spicy food, but I do not favor one over the other. That would only grow dull.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Then I will take delight in proving you with food to sample! Though perhaps you will find Netherworld recipes slightly too spicy even for you, boom!

[perfectingjin]

I cannot know that until I try them. [ A slight nod in thanks at the offer. While he did like spicy foods, somethings can probably be too spicy but Yoshi always refrained from saying so until he least tastes it. ]

Are you the school's cook?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Hyahya, ahyhyahyahya! In a metaphorical sense, perhaps!

[Champloo leaps backwards, flipping in midair to land in a perfect post.]

Kitchen Fist Fire Chaos Style! I, Champloo, am the Home Ec. Instructor!

[perfectingjin]

Home Ec? That is a good class or so I have heard. People do need practical skills on top of fighting skills if they wish to live in the world.

[ He has no patience for that kind of life. Yoshi wasn't one who could be content with cooking, repairing or cleaning anything being both restless in nature and a lordling's son. His upbringing made him less likely to know his way around a kitchen than he knew his away around a dojo. ]

Well met. I am Yoshi.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

[And the term 'Kitchen Fist' hadn't given Yoshi an idea of just how the style of cooking trained?]

Instructor Pinkie Pie is the other Home Ec. teacher. Naturally, I recommend my own class, but you cannot go wrong with hers either!

[perfectingjin]

[ He figures it's a metaphor. Silly samurai. ]

Ah, I see. Do you two collaborate on your classes?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Pinkie Pie favors an approach which factors in all aspects of the class syllabus. I, however, focus on the fine discipline of cooking! In that sense alone we could be considered rivals!
