Matsumori Days

Here at the Matsumori Daily, we are always interested in interviewing our fellow students. Today, we have the captain of the Kendo team, Nosaka Kojiro. The transcript of our interview as follows:


Matsumori Daily: You were really close to the championship last year! What's your plan of attack this year?

Nosaka Kojiro: I've found that you can glean a lot about your opponent by what he or she says or does before they make their move. For example, if there's even a hint of tiredness, my best guess would be that they'd stand guard, and not expose themselves for an all-out attack. It's not the most sure-fire way to tell, since there's always the possibility that they're taunting me, but it works a good amount of time.

MD: How about the home front? How supportive is your family?

NK: Supportive? Hell, my mom practically taught me everything I knew! From my understanding, she was a fiend of a swordswoman in her day.

MD: Any brothers or sisters?

NK: I have a brother that graduated from Matsumori last year. He's pretty low-key, so it's not exactly common knowledge.

MD: How about your hobbies outside of Kendo?

NK: I don't practice it all that much, but I do a bit of slight-of-hand. Penny for your thoughts?

MD: That was a neat trick, making it look like that coin come out of nowhere! Any other personal tidbit you want to share?

NK: You know so much about me already, but I know next to nothing about you! Well, I can tell you're a woman who's dedicated to your work, at the very least. Therefore, might I suggest that we continue this conversation with more comfortable surroundings?

MD: Er, no thanks. We have enough to go on anyway.


Unnerving ending aside, we have another successful interview! Please join us next time, where we interview yet another new face to Matsumori High, Koruba Toshie!
