Makoto was training as well, using a log that had been bound in ropes for practicing her kicks. Neither Rei nor Minako had been spared either.
Which led to Ranma scratching his head and wondering how exactly this was happening.
Not the bit where Usagi occasionally ran by, leading a procession of ducks and geese and swan. He wasn't sure if they were angry at Usagi or just agitated.
He'd tried balance exercises for Minako. Simply stringing a rope between two poles and having her walk across - even using a staff to help balance her. Nothing hard - he walked across himself just to show her how it was done.
There had been no slack in the rope. So how exactly had Minako somehow managed to end up hanging from the rope by one ankle, wildly waving the staff around?
BONK!
How had Minako managed to knock Rei out by flailing around with the staff?
"This... might be harder than I thought," admitted Ranma to no one in particular. He glanced over to Makoto, who had abandoned her kicking practice to try and come to Minako's assistance.
BONK! WHACK! WHACK! BONK!
A somewhat more bruised Makoto retreated out of Minako's range.
Ranma watched as Usagi led the fowl parade towards Minako's practice area, looking around in case anyone from PETA were around. He had the feeling this was not going to go well.
Tatewaki Kuno could be incredibly clueless. No matter how one tried to pound an idea in there, he could resist it with all the determination of his vaunted samurai ancestors. Although most of said samurai ancestors were determined at something besides evading reality.
That said, he was capable of doing well enough on exams to squeak through the Japanese High School system.
"I fight... on," mumbled Tatewaki Kuno, age seventeen, rising star of the kendo world. Currently wearing a pair of large leaves in an improvised loincloth. Currently also wearing a number of scratches, having a couple of bite marks, and otherwise looking a bit worse for the wear.
A lioness snarled as she circled the tree that Kuno had managed to climb up.
"If I only had my sword," said Kuno as he looked below him. Surely if he had a true weapon this inconvenience would be overcome swiftly. As he lacked so much as an improvised tree branch to use at the moment, he was clearly not at his peak performance.
Still, all he had to do was wait. "Surely nothing else could go wrong this day and in time my patience shall be reward-" plish "-ed?"
Tatewaki Kuno held onto the tree as the rain began to fall. "Zounds. Surely the Shooting Star hath truly nowhere to go but up."
crackle - BOOM!
"That foul sorcerer that hath banished me here," said Kuno, coughing up a little smoke, "shall pay dearly for this affront."
