The Dojo is a training ground for spectrals where, among others, Isabel Guerra and Edward Burger are trained by Francisco Guerra. Many of Francisco's students are members of the Activity Consortium sent there to train under him. Others are implied to have been Consortium agents who have been swayed to Francisco's side by revelations about Boss Leader's true nature[1].
The students live at the Dojo and seem to have their own rooms. It is known that at least six of them share Isabel's toothbrush[2].

Chapter 2[]
Isabel's room is briefly seen when she responds to Max's call for help. Isabel agrees to assist Max in dealing with the troublesome spirit, but states that there had better be proof of its aggression when she arrives.
Chapter 4[]
Isabel fires shots of spectral energy at a target inside the dojo, and gets scolded by her grandfather for missing the exact center. After a short argument, Isabel stomps up to Ed's room, where he is playing a fighting game. The two converse for a bit on Isabel's grandfather and his stubbornness before Ed asks Isabel if she wants to participate in the game, which she accepts.
Richard Spender, along with Max and Isaac, drive up to the dojo to pick up Ed and Isabel for the mission. Isabel engages in a battle with Scabs and loses; an argument with her grandfather afterwards reveals that he had set her up to lose on purpose by giving her older opponent knowledge of her cynophobia in order to get her to see her overconfidence as an embarrassment[3] as well as to hone her edge[4]. The argument is halted by Spender's arrival before it can escalate further, and Isabel retreats to the car. Francisco and his former student engage in a conversation concerning Agent Day's investigation, and Francisco warns Spender not to go into extremes in his mission or he will meet a just end. With Francisco agreeing to Spender's request to stop him should he exceed his boundaries, the Activity Club advisor heads back to the car and the group departs for their mission.
Ed and Isabel return to the dojo once the mission is complete, with the two holding hands as they walk in as they anticipate Francisco's angry response to Isabel losing Eightfold. Francisco quickly becomes furious and scolds Isabel for losing "his" book that he "had plans for"[5], and Ed quietly absconds to his room, leaving Isabel alone to take the dojo master's lecture by herself. Isabel then returns to her room to address her bite wound and sleep.
Chapter 5[]
Mina Zarei is sent to the Dojo on a call from Francisco in order to address a bite wound one of his students had received. Zarei talks to Francisco about the Ghost Train's tooling up and Isabel takes the opportunity to steal a vial she had seen Zarei use on the student. Francisco then grants Isabel a new tool, an umbrella containing the spirit Flipflop, and Zarei notices the theft. The doctor confronts her outside and takes Isabel's wound in order to heal it with her spirit's powers, and sends another of her spirits to follow the young spectral in order to figure out what she, and by extension Mr. Spender, are hiding after she declines to tell her about the events of the previous night. As Isabel walks away, Ed asks her to walk to school with him, but she declines, taking a detour to the Corner Store instead to buy a toothbrush.
Chapter 7[]
In one of Mr. Spender's flashbacks, a twenty year old Spender is practicing Spectral Fist with other Dojo members while a young Isabel mimics them in the background. When Isabel gets frustrated at her lack of skill, she starts to cry, attracting the attention of the Dojo trainees and Francisco. She tells Spender that she banged her foot, and Spender gives her a piggyback ride to her mother, Amy Chen. Isabel gets looked over while Francisco and Spender discuss family strains and Spender's love life. The Dojo master tells Spender that he can stay at the Dojo if he needs to, which Spender is grateful for. Amy then lambasts Francisco for neglecting his granddaughter, which causes Spender to ask Isabel to join him on his camping trip. Spender reassures Amy about keeping Isabel safe and entertained while Isabel packs up his car, and Francisco tells a lighthearted joke at Spender's expense before telling Isabel to be strong, telling her that he's hard on her because he believes in her ability.
