This is a promising start for what looks like a good series. The club
names were hilarious, and it looks like you've got Kuno-ranting down
perfectly.

A couple of continuity notes, which you may or may not care about: If
the fic takes place early enough that the Furinkan students don't know
about Ranma's curse, then Ranma won't have learned the Kachuu Tenshin
Amiguriken yet. He learned this after his first battle with Mousse,
during which his secret was, um, exposed... and only Kuno still didn't
get it. Also Ukyo didn't show up until long after that, and the name
"Ranko" wasn't invented until quite late in the series (the arrival of
Nodoka).

Now some minor nitpicks....

This is confusingly worded. Try something like

I think you mean "impatient".
