Meanwhile, a few minutes ago, Daichi heads into the men's locker-room, and heads for the locker he stowed his gym bear in. Unlike several of the other students, who are just using the gym gear they had from last year, Daichi took advantage of the rules for this particular Gym class and purchased a martial arts outfit. Since the class focuses on Akido, the ancient martial art of the samurai, which is often traditionally paired with Kendo, the Gi for Akido is much the same as the outfit for Kendo, which again is relatively similar to the traditonal garb of a samurai archer. He unlocks his locker, and hauls out the American army surplus duffel he is keeping the gear in, and takes a seat on one of the benches.<em>"Well, here's hoping the first day of the school year goes well."</em>he thinks to himself.
