[ It's been a while since he last posted about this, but! Souji offers the network at large a smile from the interior of his temple, cats milling around as per usual. ]

Early last month, I asked if there was anyone that was interested in doing group studies. Since then, a lot's happened, and there have been new arrivals as well as departures. Unfortunately, some of those departures were people that offered to lead certain subjects, so I felt it might be a good idea to ask again. [ He inclines his head respectfully, quiet for a second before continuing. ]

As many of you have likely seen, Hakkai-san is offering tutoring for certain subjects - math and Japanese, for example - at a previously abandoned temple. I know from talking with others that Japanese, especially, is in demand due to the fact that a lot of arrivals aren't familiar with the language. So if you feel you may need help with either of those, please, take a look at the schedule.

He's also been kind enough to open up the space to other lessons so...

I think it'd be a great idea to get on track with actually doing these studies, both to learn new things we might need and to enrich ourselves since it's a little difficult for us to go to school on the Near Shore. We should be able to help one another, right? [ He flashes a friendly smile, easy as anything. ]

Personally, I worked as a tutor back home, so I have some experience in the matter. I'm specifically good with history, literature, and science, but also with Japanese and English both. For non-school subjects it's mostly first-aid and cooking, but if you're interested in fishing or origami, then that, too.

But there are a lot of us here who might not have the proper training when it comes to certain types of weapons, the use of magic or other newfound abilities, or just fighting in general. I have combat experience, but I'm self-taught and it's with swords only. If there's anyone that would be interested in offering training for whatever styles of combat and weaponry that they specialize in, I think it'd be appreciated. I know I'd personally like to learn more forms of combat, as a god, so that I don't somehow hurt my shinki in the event their vessel is one I've never used before.

If there's something in particular you're interested in learning or teaching, please feel free to let me know. I'll compile a list for both, and do a follow up after the next batch of arrivals comes in so that they can join as well. If you previously volunteered to lead a study group for a certain subject, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you're still interested so we can match you up with groups.

[ He bows his head. ]

1. Can't read the kanji. Gonna need some help with that one.
2. If somebody can explain how Earth machinery runs without any magic at all, I'd appreciate it. The strengths and limitations of electricity, etc etc.
3. I can teach engineering.

Hakkai has already offered to instruct me in Japanese, but I would also be interested in studying history.

I would offer to teach my magic, but without any recollection of how I learned it, I fear I'm probably not qualified. It also seems as though the ability may be specific to the realm I came from.

[A school?

How interesting.]

I'm interested in learning science myself, and I can offer my services for tutelage in history.

If anyone's interested in learning about dancing, I think I could teach ballet or ballroom dance basics, at the very least? I'm still not sure how much I know of other styles, but I seem to be familiar with a number of them.

If lessons are being offered, I'd like to learn more about first aid and maybe basic self defense, I think.

[He's painfully aware of how useless his skill set is in dangerous situations, and maybe it's best if he does something about it.]

[ Normally he wouldn't be doing this, but he's become rather painfully aware of his own limitations and doesn't like it. At all. He'd have to get himself a new chokuto, but how hard can that be?]

Self-taught or not, would you be willing to work with someone who could use some combat practice?

[ Actually, self-taught would probably suit him best, since Sasuke doesn't have any formal training either outside of kunai and shuriken. ]

Been learning a lot about things like tracking and stuff. If anyone's up for outdoors and hunting things, hit me up. Totally a natural at it.

[Doesn't remember that this is the kind of stuff he sort of did for a living back home.]

Souji! You got so busy we never got a chance to say hello. I met your little sister, Nanako, and we've been talking a lot since then. It's nice to meet you.

I guess.... since I live here now.... it would probably be smart to learn Japanese, huh?
