Chained World: Dawn's Early Rei [Episode 146727]

by Kestral

Ranma had never owned a slave before, but he understood his father's reasoning. If he was eventually to teach, he had to have a student. If he was to have a dojo, he would have to have a slave trained in the style to teach other slaves. It was one of those tradition thingies and some people could get real anal about that.

He wasn't saying he wanted to be no sensei or nothing like that. He just wasn't willing to say he DIDN'T want to go the sensei route eventually.
