Ranma scratched his cheek before he shrugged and walked of toward the bathroom to get himself a warm shower.
*****
Ten minutes later Ranma was sitting in a comfy couch reading a book with the title 'Creatures of Magic' it was filled with information about many magical beings. The young man was wondering who this unknown woman was and why she wanted his service. Well that would have to wait until tomorrow right now he needed rest.
After placing a bookmark in the page was on Ranma closed the book, laid it ok it's place on the bookshelf and went to bed, still wondering who the woman was.
*****
The next morning Ranma woke up 06:00. He dressed himself in a black gi with a red western dragon on the back and a blue eastern dragon on the front. He then went to his collection of weapons that hang on the wall right next to his bed and took down a whip plus a long sword, a flail and a bo-staff, all magical or blessed.
Ranma then went out to his backyard to do some katas, both unarmed and armed styles. Ranma may have become a rich archaeologist but he didn't want his art to disappear, he had given ten years of his previous life and he would be damned if he gave up the skills he had learned under that torture trip.
The katas became faster and deadlier as the young man switched through his art like a chameleon switching colour. This was the most precious thing he owned the style that he felt fitted his soul in a almost frighting way he wasn't using the art, he WAS the art.
The pure feeling his body felt as he moved it in perfect harmony and grace made Ranma's soul glow in harmony and his body became surrounded by a white aura. The young archaeologist almost felt like singing but he gathered his thoughts and focused on his art and soon lost himself into what he called the Dance of the Art.
*****
At 11:00 Ranma stopped his workout he didn't really want to stop it but he knew he had to since the woman would come in an hour. He went inside and took a quick shower and dressed himself in his normal adventure clothes that Nigel had cleaned and then went down to the kitchen to help Nigel with lunch.
*****
"It's really no need to help me sir." Nigel said as Ranma helped him to make the day's lunch, spaghetti bolognese.
Ranma just smiled at his butler and said. "Nigel I'm not doing this because I think I should. I am helping you because I WANT to help you, plus the fact that I need to learn how to cock myself some time."
The old butler smiled at Ranma and nodded, it was really nice to work for such a nice man like Ranma since he didn't treat anyone like they where lower in class then himself. "Very well then sir." Nigel said and began to put salt into the spaghetti water.
*****
When dinner was ready Ranma waited at the door for the woman who wanted his service. He then heard the doorbell and opened the door. He greeted the female in front of him. "Good day miss I am Professor Ranma Saotome and I suppose you are here for lunch?"
The woman nodded, "Yes professor Saotome. But let me introduce myself first I am..."
