Narrative:

My instructor and I departed olv for mkl to do practice approachs under the hood. We (aircraft X) air-filed a flight plan and picked up our clearance 20 mi southwest of mkl. We received vectors for spacing and requested multiple approachs. We were told by ZME to expect ILS runway 2, circle-to-land. We were vectored through the localizer. We received our clearance 6 mi from mercy intersection, fly heading 360 degrees to intercept, maintain 2500 ft, cleared for the ILS runway 2. We were then given missed approach instructions of 'fly runway heading maintain 2500 ft.' we crossed mercy and prompted center to see if he wanted us to contact mkl tower or remain this frequency. We were advised to switch to tower. We contacted tower. Tower asked us to report mercy inbound. We stated we were 'inside mercy on about 1/2 mi final with traffic in sight.' the other aircraft acknowledged he had us in sight. Tower told other aircraft to break right. Mkl tower then told us we were cleared for the circle-to-land runway 2. We would not be allowed any further approachs if we could not fly them properly. We called tower with our explanation but tower told us we could not land at mkl again. We contacted ZME again and were told we were cleared for the ILS runway 2 and the runway was ours. Center conversed with mkl tower and then we asked to proceed to dyr for a full stop landing.
