Ranma sighed in relief. He had enough girl troubles without any of these other gals showing up.
"So you were saying what you wished was?" asked Mihoshi.
"That..." Ranma stopped at a feeling of danger, then plunged ahead. "I wish that I had a martial art to handle this sort of thing."
"What sort of thing?" asked Mihoshi.
"Well, like THIS sorta thing," said Ranma making a vague gesture. "Wait you can do that?"
"Yeah, it says here I can give you an instant download on a martial arts style. There's a couple of addendums though," said Mihoshi. "In some cases you'd have to train yourself up some to fully use the style. Whatever that means."
"I'd have to train myself up?" asked an intrigued Ranma.
"There's some martial arts styles which would require 'powers and abilities beyond mortal men' or something like that," said Mihoshi, still reading holographic popup screens.
"Yeah?" asked Ranma, absolutely not drooling at the idea of having new vistas of the Art placed within his grasp. If he had to train to use the Art, then he still had to earn it - it wasn't just a cheap gimmee, right? "So, uhm, what kinda martial arts styles are we talking about?"
"Let's see," said Mihoshi, clicking something and then completely obscured from view as popup screens propagated. "Hokuto Shinken, Nanto Seiken - that's got twelve subschools and you have to choose one, Taizanji Kenpo, Gento Keken, Hokuto Ryuken, Dragonball style martial arts..."
Ranma pictured himself being chased. Pictured himself flying away. Pictured unleashing a kamehameha on Tatewaki Kuno just for the overkill factor.
"...Panzer Kunst," continued Mihoshi, "Shinmeiryuu, Kazama style Self-defense, Gun Fu, Confrontation Beast Fist Akugata, Fierce Beast Fist Beast Arts, Sinanju, Shindai, the Way of the Akashic Brotherhood, Elven Bladesong, Goutetsu-ryu Ansatsuken, Saikyo-Ryu, Kanzuki-ryu Kakutujutsu, Champuru Kendo, Tsuru-Sennin Ryu, Kame-Sennin Ryu, Jurai Royal Family Sword Forms, Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Tao Magician Style Senjutsu, Airbending, Earthbending, Firebending, Waterbending, Konoha Style Ninjitsu..."
Ranma blinked at the thought that he didn't already know any of these? Gee, was his Pop a slacker as a teacher or what?
"...Slayers style Sorcerie, Bastard style magica arts, Black Magery, White Magery, Red Magery, Blue Magery, the Hand Of Ultimate Creation And Destruction, Mad Scientist Style Martial Arts, Shun Leep," continued Mihoshi.
