Read the text below and then make a prediction about it. Write 2-3 sentences supporting your prediction.

That Thursday I arrived at the dojo early, wanting to practice some crescent kicks before the warmup. I felt like my uniform fit me a little better, now. I'd filled it out. I almost thought about knocking on Master Kinsella's door to tell him how I'd avoided the fight after school and made a few friends in the process. I decided that would be a bit lame, though, so I just prepared myself for class instead, ready to channel every bit of energy into our exercises. “How you doing, Jake?” Steve said, taking a seat beside me.
“Pretty good, man.”
And I was. But when Master Kinsella came out to start the class, he wasn't alone. He had another instructor with him—a muscular guy with a crew cut and glasses. Instead of kneeling to bow in, Master Kinsella sat down crosslegged and faced us. When he told us he had an announcement to make, somehow I knew what it would be before he broke the news.

Master Kinsella will be replaced by the muscular guy as the instructor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage uses a well crafted pattern for a lead up to the reveal.

It shows the protagonist to be in a good mood at first and also being able to learn and being completely fine with the life at the class.

They are also shown to be close to the current master as the narrator wants to tell them about the mundane fight and the altercation at school.

This leads up to the reveal that shakes him up for good which is that the teacher will be changed and the normalcy of his life will be challenged.
