The scroll that had transported them had proven that magic worked. Here in this world had been MORE evidence that magic worked. Though mages kept their existence secret for the most part from the Mundanes (he'd heard they called them muddles or bungles or something like that in England) there were exceptions.
So, as soon as Genma had found a way, Ranma had been trained in magic AND martial arts. Ranma would never be a Grand Master of the magical arts, but thanks to the side-effects of their trip had enough magic that he could do some pretty impressive things once he learned how to tap into that.
Once here he'd also found a version of his old pal Ucchan, except that this one was a GIRL! Who'd have thought?
However, Ucchan was not only a girl but training to be some kinda ninja-warrior type and it turned out that with Ranma getting ready to go off to that magic school - she could be some kinda partner to him.
Of course, Ranma had gone off without his father for a few years while he learned spells and self-control and certain other things. He'd even learned more martial arts with one of his fellow students, a gal named Shampoo from some village or other who was there primarily to learn Potions since she just didn't have the knack for Wizardry.
She was nice. Weird but nice. Fell into a kinda big-sister role for him. Odd as all get out because he could still vaguely remember bits and pieces of another life where she was some kinda fiancee.
Still, he was a powerful (if not very experienced and not POWERFUL) magister magi. He wondered what he'd have to do for this pactio stuff. Hopefully it wasn't too icky, some of those rituals required stuff that smelled really bad and tried to crawl out of your cauldron. Well, not HIS cauldron that often - not like that one gal. Man, she couldn't make a level 1 healing potion without large explosions or rising zombies or something resulting.
He wasn't that great at Potions himself, not his primary strength, but at least he never had anything crawling out of his cauldron trying to eat his brain. Steal his lunch, yes, and on one occasion engaged the teacher in a discussion of the nature of life - and one other time going into a song-and-dance routine. Eat anyone or their body parts - never.
Nope. He was a wizard, what they called a Magister Magi in this world where magic was:
