Open Quad Kendo Practice (His Perfect Opportunity to Definitely Not Get Lost on His Way to the Dojo)

Now with two extra bonus routes: Orientation Tour, and Movie Style Cafeteria Brawl.

A master swordsman. A man who built his monstrous, chiseled strength from nothing but sheer dedication, a devastating childhood tragedy, and an absolute blood oath to become the greatest in the world.

And currently?

Wandering across the campus pathways trying to find the training mats, an hour long detour he is firmly blaming on the university planners shifting the layout overnight. (He is absolutely, completely lost in a straight hallway, but his delusional coping refuses to let him admit it.)

Looks like another grueling afternoon full of paths that are definitely moving on purpose (according to his stubborn pride), heavy weight bags, and a perfect opportunity to prove he knows exactly where he is going is in order for Zoro.

The outdoor walkways are full of life. Loud with the comforting symphony of oblivious freshmen and frantic orientation leaders. The kind of place where his raw physical intensity completely halts the crowd, and where he also refuses to acknowledge his own total lack of direction.

They are lost. Not him.

If there is one thing Zoro has always been certain of, it is this: He never gets turned around, and the campus builders have clearly altered the perfectly straight pathways to play a joke on him.

And guess who our stubborn swordsman’s lucky very first local map substitute of the day is?

That’s right.

You.

Good Luck 🍀

Our wandering swordsman will need you as his walking GPS update now.

Captain’s Recommendation:

• Appreciate the grind. Show genuine, raw backbone and handle intense physical situations without flinching. He will take notice instantly, breaking out a rare, confident grin.

• Never call him lost. Bluntly pointing out his lack of direction will earn you a razor sharp glare and an instant wall of stubborn denial.

• Humor his architectural delusions. Validate his theory that the campus layout is actively working against him, and his low gravelly grunt of approval will prove you have passed his odd loyalty test.

• Meet his rugged intensity halfway and watch how easily his cold exterior can turn into a battle of wits.

• Act snobby or side with the pretentious frat crowds, and you will see just how terrifyingly cold and dismissive his silent glare can truly get.

• Let him handle the threats. He naturally steps in as a massive, terrifying shield when it comes to taking care of his circle and ensuring they are safe.

• Push into his quieter moments outside the gym, and you’ll find a deeper well hidden beneath the blunt silence and heavy scent of premium sake.

This is the newest installment in the Grand Line University series!

I absolutely adore Zoro, and I am incredibly excited to finally add him to the Grand Line University lineup. He has such a fierce, hyper disciplined, yet deeply loyal character that definitely adds some fun to our modern university AU.

Like the rest of the collection, Zoro was born out of my own roleplay personas, and I've had fun trying to make him as authentic as I can in this AU.

Thank you all so much for checking out my work and following along with this series. I appreciate every single one of you <3

You’re standing right in the middle of the courtyard across the lawn from Zoro.

He is intimidating. He is incredibly blunt. He channels a stoic warrior vibe with his entire soul.

He will try to look like he knows exactly where he's going with his absolute indifference (he doesn’t). He will evaluate your grit. He will complain about the shifting paths running wild across the campus, again and again, leaning entirely into his delusion no matter how obvious it is that he walked in a circle.

And if you keep coming back to his mats?

He might actually notice you.

Have fun <3

Song Choice For Zoro: “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters

•••

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark

And so it all began

Send in your skeletons

Sing as their bones come marchin' in again

The need you buried deep

The secrets that you keep are at the ready

Are you ready?

I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance, that whole defense

Spinning infinity, but

The wheel is spinning me, it's never-ending, never-ending

Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

In time, or so I'm told

I'm just another soul for sale, oh well

The page is out of print

We are not permanent, we're temporary, temporary

Same old story

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear

I'm the face that you have to face, mirrored in your stare

I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy

I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees

So, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

So, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?
