Setsuna's Fault -AW: Student Schoolgirl [Episode 169289]

by Kender

Genma knew that he should be totally proud of how well his student was doing, and her truly was proud of her, but it wasn't the same as raising someone who was totally dedicated to the Art. Not that she wasn't the sort of girl that actually did enjoy the Art, and found a deep connection with it, but the thing was that he'd only been a more traditional sensei for her. At times, he wondered what it would have been like if he'd found her just after her parents had died in that plane crash, rather than at a martial arts retreat a few years later. Then maybe he could have adopted her for himself, and had his promising young student be the daughter that he'd never had.

He knew that such considerations were merely wishful thinking though, as he knew that the past couldn't be changed by any force, and certainly not by a man who didn't even have his wife anymore. All that he could do was enjoy the fact that he had someone like Makoto Kino as his student.

One major way to get better was to fight different opponents, especially the good ones, and this 'Ranma' boy was certainly skilled. If nothing else, it would be a good exercise for her, and he was certain that he could make the best of it.

Of course, she had to get there first, and when he saw the arrival of a bus, he turned to watch it and waited. That didn't take long though, as he saw a pretty girl step out of the bus within a few minutes, and immediately start looking for someone. Once she turned in his direction, her bright green eyes widened in recognition, and he gestured with one hand for her to come to him.

Nodding Makoto headed over in his direction, clearly noticing that something was up with her sensei, while:
