She had tested herself in such a way before. She had taken weekend trips to other Dojos as soon as she was able - it had gotten Kasumi interested in the Art again - and had 'run the line,' challenging the entire student role and instruction staff. Each time she did so, she knew the school by the time she had exausted the students. The entertaining point, in her mind, was facing the instructors, who were no less than thirty years of age, and using her own variations of their own moves against them. The dojo master, quite often, would by that time acknowledge that her school was quite strong. At 12, she had defeated fourty schools in that way.
By the time Akane entered, she had her firey temper bottled again.
"Okay, Ranma," the dark-haired girl enquired, as she brushed down her skirt gently, "what got you so steamed?"
The redhead let out a mushroom-shaped puff of steam. "Guess," she grumbled.
Akane just winced. "Gotcha," she sighed. Trying to hide her trepidation, she threw a sure-fire suggestion out. "Winner buys the ice cream?"
The shorter girl grinned. "Aiming to lose?" she taunted, dropping into a katana-weilders stance.
The heir to the Tendo school smirked, taking a mirroring position. "Nope," she countered, "I just wanted to give your pocketbook a break!" She snapped into motion, moving across the floor in a glide that seemed slow-moving, yet ate the distance in a blur.
Both girls had lupine grins on their faces.
