A small, black journal written in blue pen.
December 21st, 2011
I settled on Japan. After some research last night, I decided to learn hand-to-hand combat and while I learned that, research on a weapon to use. Perhaps there is a wizard who can charm weapons. That would be very helpful. Oh, so it is my first day here, in Myōkō in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan. I have found a very good dojo, that is a karate school, up in the mountains here. A Muggle one. The sensei, teacher, is very nice. He is also a wizard, the only one there, so this makes it very good for me. I will not have to hide what I am from him.
My body is very tired, since I had walked from the ground to the school up in the mountains. The journey was also quite cold and wet, but it was a wonderful opportunity to practice my spells. I am in a small room that I share with the other females here. I am very happy I am not the only female. They seem to be content with leaving me alone so far, but I am not quite sure how long that will last. Sensei Nishiyama has expressed an interest in private lessons, in addition to my starting with the beginners, considering that I wanted to learn as much as I can as fast as I can. I do not know how he plans on accomplishing that. From my understanding, it takes years to really master an art, though I require just to be proficient enough to defend myself. I do suppose there are varying views upon that as well.
They do not teach weapons here, but he said that he will talk to other masters and perhaps I can Floo or, heaven forbid, Apparation. However, he will let me know.
I should sleep soon. Lights out are in a few minutes. We start training at dawn. Whenever that is in this country.
