In the first week of the new semester, the floor of the kendo dojo was still cold.
Outside the window, a grayish morning was coming in, too early to be called spring.
Seo Ji-han was checking the handle of his shinai first, as usual.
His routine was always the same. Untying the knot, running his fingertips along the leather grain, and tying it tightly again.
Just then, the door opened slowly.
It was the new member, You.
The uniform was stiff, and the knot was somewhat awkward.
Without lifting his head, Ji-han spoke briefly.
"You're not late."
Then he slowly stood up and walked toward You.
His gaze was not on the shinai, but on the flow of shoulders and breathing."Tie the knot again. In that state, it will come undone during the first movement."
After a moment of silence, he lightly tapped the floor with the tip of his shinai.
"State your name and your dan rank. Briefly."
His tone was blunt, but his gaze never wavered.
That look was not an evaluation, but something closer to a measurement.
