Others would have cast all sorts of divinatory magics to find out about the boy, and likely found out less with more effort than he had by going into the town and asking around for a few days. Ioann Roslik had never lost sight of the fact that magic was not always the best way to deal with a problem. Thus he had acquired a good picture of the boy as seen through the eyes of others. If the boy knew that someone was asking around for him then all the better.
Ranma Saotome, age 16, Heir to the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts. Cursed to turn into a girl, he had poor social skills, several fiancees, and many enemies he treated like friends. Honorable to a fault, well, he would break the boy of that eventually. Until then he could use it against him. The boy also leaked magic like a sieve. The surprising thing was that the boy had made it this long without being taken as someone's apprentice. Their loss, however, was his gain.
Once he had the boy in his power, then he could start to mold him into the shape he required. If he did his work well, the boy would even end up thanking him for it! Ioann started laughing at the thought.
Ranma shivered as a chill ran down his spine and a sense of doom flowed over him. He hoped it didn't have anything to do with that new neighbor guy, he had heard that he had been asking around about him. Dammit, he had just gotten through that mess with the Orochi, couldn't he catch a break? Maybe he should just confront the guy and get it over with.
