First of all I like to say that I really like this series (although I
like
your Teacher series better) There is one thing I'm wondering about:
Ryo laughed as Makoto smiled back at him with determined
eyes. "Well it
seems I've underestimated you this time Mizuhara. You >win for
now," he
jumped off over the crowd and vanished from view.
Now is Ryo really fighting? or is it more training? Because frankly
his
skill level is way underrated if he's actually sparring. After all
Ryo (who
was Ranma) has 120 years of experience behind him. And while his
personality and knowledge did change to a certain degree, he should
still
have his desire to be the best (for a while anyway). And if you're
going by
the manga then he's (by then) older than Cologne and Happosai and
should be
at _least_ their level, if not a lot better. In this fight he
appears to
being fighting at canon Ranma's level if not a bit lower. And it's
also
unlikely that he hasn't learned more techniques besides the ones he
knew in
Spirit within one, I mean at _least_ the saotome forbidden techs,
and
Shiatsu points.
No, Ryo [Ranma] is not really fighting Makoto, he's training him. He
does know a few other techniques that he isn't sharing with the boy at
this point.
Plus you have to remember that Ryo has to retrain his body so he can
actually take some of the techniques. Umisenken is pretty strong and he
might not be at that level yet. As for Shiatsu points and such, I haven't
finished this yet, the place I stopped last time was the fifth knight.
We're still on the first night.
No you can't have copies of them either, I haven't finished updating
them yet. I'm releasing them as I do so. The next part should be out
sometime this week.
BTW, Ryo is 136 if you count his Ranma years. He died at 120 last time.
I'm pretty satisfied with this fic, it's one of my better works and my
first attempt to break off from Ranma a bit way back when I was still a
poor little newbie. It does get better later on, and darker as well.
Hope you enjoy.
