Letter from Seppun Tendai, O-Sensei of the Sapphire Blade Dojo to Otomo Shiribashi, O-Sensei of the Imperial College

Honoured Otomo-sama, I trust this letter finds you in good health. Please permit me to pass on my congratulations on the birth of your third grand-child, my the Fortunes bless him in all things.

It is with my humblest apologies that I must draw our correspondence away from happier subjects and focus on matters of duty.

Your students have performed admirably for members of the Samurai caste at their stage of learning. I would, with the deepest apologies for my forwardness, suggest further training for all entrants to the dueling tournament. This further training would ensure that there was no embarrassment for the Imperial College.

I remain your faithful servant.

Seppun Tendai
