A bit annoyed at the inconvenience and hoping not to be late, Akane charged the new boy.
The gathered students, at least those still conscious, watched the unfolding scene to see what would happen to the new boy. Depending on whether the spectator was a boy or girl decided whether they were hoping he'd be knocked out or manage to get out okay.
Ranma for his part watched the girl come in with a clearly telegraphed power straight and stood still out of curiosity. Surely the girl wasn't that dense?
Akane planted her right fist in Ranma's chest.
Ranma failed to budge, instead merely continuing to stand there as if the attack hadn't occurred.
Then Akane collapsed to her knees cradling her right hand while stifling a whimper.
Standing there not knowing what to do about the strange girl as he was trying to actually avoid causing trouble, Ranma idly blocked an overhead bokken strike with a raised forearm. Then almost idly he brought that raised fist down into the side of the enraged kendo-ka's head.
Now staring at the strange bokken wielding boy laying unconscious on his side, along with the still kneeling girl and the other boys that were now starting to recover, it was perhaps a sign that he wouldn't be able to attend this school without trouble anyways.
So, still not knowing what to make of the strange situation, the red-headed young man turned to leave. "Uh, yeah, I got stuff to do. I'll find out what the hell this is about later."
...and so the newcomer to school walked inside, leaving the profound silence of the schoolyard behind to enter the even more eerily silent school.
Up in her second floor classroom, Nabiki stared down at the now desolate battlefield that was the entrance to the school. At a school where Akane and Kuno were by and far the strongest fighters there and proved it almost daily, their seemingly negligent downfall had the entire onlooking student body stunned into silence.
Well, those near Nabiki didn't stay silent for long as they burst into clamoring for info on the new arrival.
Half-way expecting Ranma's arrival somewhere in this time frame, Nabiki already had the info on the new transfer. As such she not only had some info, but interest was high enough to garner a higher than average rate. "He's Ranma Yagami, a new transfer student. He's been out of school for a while, so depending on his placement test, he might end up in any class here."
She had a few other tidbits of information, but she wanted to find out who Iori Yagami was before revealing that. For some reason his name was tickling something at the back of her mind.
Finally getting a handle on the pain, Akane finally made it to her feet. Watching numbly as the strange boy went inside, the tomboy cradled her hand as she finally decided to head for the nurse's office.
