"Hah! I thought so! There he comes, the evil sorcerer Saotome, to have a look at his handiwork!"
Ranma groaned. "Here he comes again..."
Tatewaki Kuno, former Blue Thunder of Furinkan High, now looking like the humanoid version of the Pokémon Marowak, was standing high atop the wall, his bone weapon raised to the sky.
"Not enough that he had to defile this holy learning ground with his presence and stole the love from Akane Tendo and the pig-tailed girl from me... No, now he had to cast his shadow upon the whole world, changing everyone just so they would fit into his twisted idea of a dark kingdom of beasts... But nay, I say! Even if his dark spell has turned me into this mockery of a noble samurai, so that I had to shield my twisted face with a mask of bones... I shall strike him down to cleanse this planet from his black spell!"
"Suits him well..." Akane muttered. "He has always been a bonehead..."
"Yo, Kuno," Ranma shouted. "Can't you just leave me alone? I mean, seriously... even a stupid dolt like you should see that I have changed as well."
"Hah, so that just shows us how comfortable you are with this monstrous figure. Truly, it resembles the figure of an evil dragon I have to slay..." He raised his bone-bokken. "Have at theeee!"
And the twirling weapon turned into some kind of boomerang which flew towards the flame-tailed martial artist.
Ranma skipped backwards. "Hey, is that a bonerang or a bokkenerang?"
Kuno caught his weapon and jumped down from the wall. "Saotome, I shall be merciful today: Lift your curse from this world, and I shall spare your life."
"You gotta be kidding..." the pig-tailed Charmander muttered.
"You decline? Well then, it shall be your funeral!"
But just as Kuno was ready to throw his weapon again, the child-like form of Miss Hinako appeared on the scene. Even if she was holding her infamous coin in her hand, she looked adorable with the green leaves coming out of her head.
"Mr. Kuno, no bone-throwing in school! You've been a baaaad boy... Happo-Five-Yen-Satsu!"
The coin in her hand began to glow, and Kuno groaned as the diminutive teacher sucked his battle aura away from him. At the same time, the little Oddish-girl grew into a curvaceous and stunningly beautiful Bellossom-woman.
Miss Hinako put away the coin. "Mr. Kuno, it's detention for you today... oh, and if you don't manage to come to class in time, I think we add some bucket duty as well. Now, students, please get in your classrooms... class is about to start."
As Miss Hinako was walking back inside, various boys and girls looked at the shriveled form of Kuno while walking past him.
"Well, he did ask for it," a boy murmured.
"But... you don't suppose he was right about Ranma, do you?" a girl asked.
"Kuno? Being right? Get real!" someone else shouted. "Besides, how should Ranma be able to do something that is affecting the whole world?"
"Hey, this isn't the first time strange things happened since Ranma came to this school, remember? I say he's somehow connected to all of this..."
Ranma had heard everything his fellow students had whispered behind his back, but he decided to act as normal as he could... even if it was making him somewhat nervous.
"Watch your back, Ranchan," Ukyo whispered as they met her in class. "Kuno has spread all sorts of rumors about you... and there are several people who start to believe that you actually might be the cause for all of this..."
"Man..." Ranma grumbled. "What's the world coming to? People actually listening to Kuno? I mean, seriously..."
They didn't have any more chances to speak of it, because Miss Hinako was coming in, still in her adult Bellossom form. After putting a strange-looking rock on her desk (it kinda looked like a sun), she smiled at her students. "Well, I'm happy to see that no one from this class has decided to skip school today... Let's begin then, shall we?"
