Julia sat across from her pigtailed neo-were-cheetah student. “Ranma; you can’t expect me to believe this is all normal. I mean, you’ve gone from pure as a monk to ... well, Tigra, in a day.”
Ranma cringed. “I ain’t that bad ... am I?”
Julia leaned back in her chair, munching on some more food. “Maybe; you’ve been with two women in less than twelve hours.” She leaned forward, glaring at him. “It has only been Brianna and Archon; right?”
Ranma nodded frantically, instincts bred into him by Akane and the other fiancées rearing its head.
Julia sighed. This was all too confusing. She knew Theo referred to Jusenkyo as “chaos magic” since the change didn’t cause any pain for Ranma. “Ranma, I am a little worried you may have an altered version of the thrall effect from when Brianna infected you.”
“What do you mean sensei?” asked Ranma, half the food Archon made already gone from his side of the table.
“Ranma, you know that the thrall effect makes a person very obedient and loyal to their maker.” Seeing him nod, she continued. After all, she had been with him when he inquired if a were-bite might help cure him of his Nekoken fear.
Apparently he might be right.
“Ranma, you remember what you were like before you became a were-cheetah?” Seeing him nod, she continued. “Now that you have been infected, you notice you seem to be seeking sex now?”
Ranma blinked. “Um ... maybe this new body fixed something my old man did? I mean, Brianna would never purposely harm me.”
Julia nodded. “Maybe; but can you honestly say you are acting like your core usually dictated?”
Ranma wanted to defend himself, but his Sensei was breaking those offers of innocence before he began. “I really don’t know, Sensei. I mean, in Nerima, female attention equals pain; either from one of the fiancées or from a rival. Here ... here I can be a normal guy ... well, sort of. Here, I ain’t having to worry about someone trying to kill me for something stupid. Here, I can be somewhat normal.”
Julia nodded. “I know that, Ranma. But I’m afraid your lycanthropy came with a personality shift. I mean, would you normally sleep with Archon after Brianna?”
Ranma scratched his head. “Sensei, normally I wouldn’t sleep with anyone.”
Julia sighed. She was sorely tempted to throttle those girls in Nerima and move Ranma here ... if not for the fact she’d have him being chased by her girls here.
Sadly, that was true even now. “Ranma; I want you meditating for the rest of the day, until I can get Theo to do a deep scan of you. I’m pretty sure personality traits can’t be given through the infection, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.”
Ranma nodded. While his stomach was satisfied, he could still feel his libido and brain fighting. “Okay, Sensei.”
Julia nodded as she finished her meal, noticing her side of the table seemed to have less food now.
