Why choose the way of the Monkey King for him?Simple. His talents lie in that direction.
But why not something more based in speed?
Because he is not only naturally quick, but is amazingly adaptable. He learns quickly, and has an intuitive ability that would be well suited by this school.
Not to mention that the school is rather... open.
Ranma wasn't able to ponder what was being said at that moment as he was too busy with some sort of power arcing through his body. His head filled with images, and his body coursed with energy. The injuries that he had come with healed themselves, and damage from old ones began to fade away. All of his body was becoming whole again, and he was once more returning to the a perfect level of health.
He couldn't appreciate it at the moment, as he had gone from staring at what looked like ghosts, to feeling like his whole body was being filled with crackling energy.

But just moving to make himself comfortable resulted in discover that the pain that he had come in with was gone. He was still mightily tired, but other than that and some hunger, he felt better than he had for a while.
And a check of his wounds told him that not even a sign remained that they had existed.
Looking up, he tried to figure out what had happened.
Do not worry. You have been chosen for a school, and been healed. You are now the Heir of the Monkey King Style. It is time that you leave here, and go to begin your training.
