Chapter 59: Checking And Thinking
Year 23: Day 87: Leaving It To Luck Once More! Part 2
A few hours later*
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
I blankly stare out the window, where I watch a display of a weird event. For one thing, asking someone to kill someone for a shampoo. This is a concept I did not believe would exist.
'What kind of fuck up world did I come into?' I thought to myself as I watch Ranma ran off to kill his female version, which is also his cursed form. Well, almost kill aka beat up if that's what I heard correctly.
Looking away from the window before I end up finding something weird again. As I focus on what I should do, other than waiting for Alice to come home or a potential student to join the Dojo.
'Should I go back to painting?' I thought to myself, before shaking my head at such a silly thought. After all, my [Volition Sword Dao] have long affected many things unrelated to the sword. By turning it something on the line of a sword.
Therefore, I need to think about something that won't be too much affected by my [Volition Sword Dao] or I have to use [Rejection] every time I need to do something else, just to prevent [Volition Sword Dao] from causing a problem for me.
'Not that I haven't done so in the past.' I remember how I tried to do some simple things like just writing out some idea on a piece of paper. But, end up creating some kind of weird [Sword Talisman] that could be just shown to some supernatural being or non-supernatural being, where they end up feeling they about to be cut and if come any closer to the paper written by me would actually get cut as if there was a real sword doing it.
I rub my chin and have this sudden thought of mine pop into my head. Wanting to test this out to see if it what I thought is true or not, so with a thought, I use [Gate of Babylon] to give me a blank paper and a pencil, then grabbing the pencil with my right hand.
It didn't even take a single second as I draw a picture of a hill filled with swords.
Placing the pencil on the table and wait.
I continue to stare at the picture of a hill filled with swords for another minute, but nothing changed. Not even a hint of [Sword Qi] coming from the picture. Which is something often happening whenever I draw anything.
So, either I have used [Rejection] so long, that I accidentally manage to somewhat improve my control over the [Volition Sword Dao] or I have unconsciously using [Rejection] right now to prevent the [Volition Sword Dao] from affecting things.
But, I think I'm leaning to the former as I did a quick check on how much [Mana] did I lose, which is none and that doesn't really help since I no longer be able to tell if I use how much [Mana] with [Rejection] if just for something so simple. But, just to be sure, I bring out another blank paper and draw another different picture. This one happens to be a rainforest.
Once again, not even a single second to draw this whole picture. Which isn't that unbelievable with my current stats.
I place the rainforest drawing next to my first drawing, then wait for anything to happen.
Waiting.
A few minutes later*
I stare at the two drawings for the past 10 minutes or so. But, nothing changed at all and I even checked if I was really using [Rejection] unconsciously and sure enough. I didn't use [Rejection] at all. Therefore, I must have gained enough control to do normal daily kinds of stuff again without having the [Volition Sword Dao] affecting it.
I smile at this before frowning, where I should be happy about this, but I realized just now, that the two drawings in front of me didn't seem... interesting.
'Wow, after all these years. Wanting to find a normal hobby to do and I got the chance of that now, but I just can't seem to find it that interesting to do now that I think about it.' I let out a sad sigh, that maybe having 'normal' hobby isn't something for me.
This is a little depressing in my opinion. As everyone in my family has some sort of hobby they like to do in their free/relaxing time. While I, on the other hand, don't have one at all.
If anything close to a hobby, that would be creating weapons of massive destruction. But, I only do that when I feel like doing it and more on the line of thinking about what type of weapons needed to be created later on, for the incoming big war too. So yeah, not much of a hobby, but as something needed to be done.
I let out a sad sigh once more before detecting someone entering the Dojo, then realize it's just Alice.
"Ragna! I'm home! Where are you?!" Alice called out to me, as I heard her footsteps around the Dojo, searching for me.
"I'm in our bedroom!" I shout to Alice, letting her know where I'm currently at. Then resume looking at the two drawings, hoping for some kind of hint to give me something to do as a hobby, an interesting one, that won't bore me to death. If that's possible.
Not a few seconds later; I hear Alice's footsteps coming closer and with the door open, revealing Alice, who has a smirk on her face as she enters the room after closing the door behind her.
"What you got there, Ragna?" Alice asks me, as she moves over to take the seat across from me. Where there are two seats and a single table, right next to a big window on the second floor of this building.
"Thinking about what kind of hobby I should take on. Also, found out I managed to finally gain enough control over my [Volition Sword Dao], to not have it affect things around me without the aid of the [Skill: Rejection]. As proof, these two drawings I made hasn't warp reality or contain a single hint of [Sword Qi] at all." I explain to my wife, who tenses up a little before relaxing near the end and give me a big smile.
"Nice, you have can do normal stuff without having to worry about if you're using up [Mana] too fast or not." Alice knew her husband's little problem due to the [Volition Sword Dao] being very powerful, but also come with a downside to it.
"Yup." I nod my head while continuing to stare at the two drawings with a blank stare, something Alice noticed.
"Something wrong?" Alice asks me, "Did you make a mistake in your drawings or something? I must say, the drawings are amazing in details. I would expect it was printed from the internet. So I can't tell if you made a mistake or not."
"No, it's not that. It just..." I let out another sad sigh, causing Alice to frown a little before getting up from her seat and walk to me, to wrap her arms around me from behind.
"Come on, tell me what's wrong my sweet honey." Alice said to her husband, as she rests her chin on top of her husband's head while using her special nickname for him as well, to show she here for him.
I smile at this, finding it a bit amusing how each of my wives has their own personal nickname for me. But, it seems like I can't give them one because from what they told me. I have a bad sense of naming, so it was better if I didn't come up with one unless I wanted to be mean to them or just make them cringe badly.
"You know how I have been trying to find any type of hobby to take on, but 99% of the time. My [Volition Sword Dao] got in the way?" I remind Alice about this.
"Yeah, everyone in the family about this, including the kids." Alice replied, not getting what her husband going on about, but try her best to listen.
"It's just, that after finally be able to do something normal. It just..." I let out another sigh again.
"Boring?" Alice can guess what her husband is feeling at the moment.
"Yeah." I turn my head slightly to Alice, letting her see my sad smile. "But, not all too bad. I just have to find something that will keep my interests for a long time, and with the [Volition Sword Dao] being less uncontrollable now. This means I have an easier time finding one from this point on."
"Enough of that. I have an itch you need to help me scratch." Alice whispers into my right ear softly. Before dragging me out of my seat and into the bed, where we spend the entire night without thinking about anything other than each other and have a sleepless night.
The next day*
Year 23: Day 88: Hiring
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
"Hello, my name's Kasumi Tendo. I'm here for the ads on hiring for a cleaner?" Kasumi asks me, who happen to be 19 years old and among the people, I saw 2 days ago upon entering this world, and the eldest Daughter of the Tendo Family. Along with having two younger sisters from the quick scan I got from her.
"That was quick, but alright. You do understand I've placed down the requirement and the salary of the job right?" I said to Kasumi as I pull a copy of the ads near me and raise it before Kasumi to see.
"Yes, I understand and willing to come here after 10 AM every day to clean the place." Kasumi replied with a cheerful look on her face as if she was excited to get this cleaning job.
I shrug my shoulders and put the ads back where it was before, "Alright then. Oh yeah, if you want extra money and have the time. I'm willing to pay more if you can clean my wife's Music Store as well. The one across the street." I point behind Kasumi, where Alice's store is, where it seems like there are more people today compared to yesterday.
"Oh! I didn't realize you were also married." Kasumi said with a bit of surprise, along with a hint of disappointment, but hid it easily from most people; however, I caught it and also because I can tell why she disappointed from the quick scan, that let me know she more interested in older male than younger men. As she finds them boring.
"Yup. My wife wanted to open a Music Store and there it is. So, if you wish for extra money. Then, you can go over there to clean after you're finished here. Just make sure to let my wife know I sent you." I said to Kasumi, "So, do you wish to start now or tomorrow?"
"Yes, I would like to begin right now if you don't mind. Also, do you have a cleaning supply somewhere?" Kasumi asks me, eager to start her job right away.
"Yeah, it is the closest over there." I point to my right, while mentally sighing in relief that I created all things related to cleaning beforehand. Since I have no idea the person that wanted to work for me would come in with their own cleaning supply or not. But, just to be on the safe side in case they don't, which it look like Kasumi didn't. I'm glad I created those cleaning products.
"Alright, I will get to it. Don't worry Mr. Mercer. I'll make this place spotless." Kasumi said to me, as she got up from her seat and head to the closet, to start cleaning.
I didn't bother to pay attention to Kasumi as I stare at Alice's Music Store, just in case trouble come her way. Not that I don't trust Alice on dealing with her own problem, which she can do with ease, but that doesn't mean I can't be worried for her. Therefore, I'm going to watch over her store until Kasumi has done cleaning, then I will distract myself by practicing all the katas of my [Martial Art Skills].
A few hours later*
"Done!" Kasumi said happily, as she finished cleaning the entire place, including upstairs and came back downstairs, to the ground floor, where she place back the cleaning supply she used. Talk about good quality! She never has seen such products and able to clean so many difficult stains like nothing compared to the cleaning products she used daily.
"Good job, Kasumi. Here your first payment." I casual grab my wallet, which I made last night and hand over the bills I owe her, the very same one I created as well, after getting a real bill beforehand and made a few modifications, to make the ones I have very hard to tell if it fake or not.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Mercer. By the way, if I may ask, where do you get your cleaning products? They're so amazing. I never have seen them before or their brands. Did you get them from overseas?" Kasumi accepted the money while asking for the origin of the cleaning products.
"Handmade." I simply replied, not daring to tell her that these are something made from the Tower of God, shockingly enough, as it was among the blueprints and many other random things I hijack before leaving that universe.
"Your wife made these?!" Kasumi looks at me with surprise and shock on her face, "She must be a great person to invent such high-quality cleaning product!" Now, in Kasumi's eyes, her client's wife has gained her respect and awe.
I speechlessly glance at Kasumi and wonder why she thinks Alice made them, then remember this world's technology and time period isn't that close to the modern-day or close to my home universe's time period before I left.
Also, I know for a fact that if the others heard about this. They will laugh their butt off like no tomorrow as Alice is someone who doesn't do cleaning and instead would end up making a mess if she tries. Something Raven explained to everyone at one point, just out of random topic to talk about.
So yeah, I think I may need to break what fantasy Kasumi has on Alice before it becomes a big misunderstanding later on.
"I made them." I said dryly, causing Kasumi to blink a few times before looking at me dumbfounded and wonder if I was joking around with her, but the look on my face made Kasumi understand what I said is the truth.
"Oh." Kasumi blushes in embarrassment, then look to her right, where there are a few windows, allowing to use this as an excuse to look outside to check the weather.
"If you wish, you can borrow some or buy them if you feel like it. Don't worry too much about the price. They not that expensive to make. So, I won't try to overprice them and rip you off." I said to Kasumi as I resumed my stretches before starting my training in my [Martial Art Skills].
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Mercer. But, I don't think it's polite to borrow something from you since we just met; however, I will make sure to save up to pay for them. I hope I won't cause any problem for you at that time. It's time for me to leave, my family is waiting for me to make lunch as it close to the time. I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Mercer and I will think about if I want to do the same to your wife's Music Store." Kasumi said to me, then bow at me before leaving the Dojo in a happy manner.
Leaving me alone in the Dojo, where I watch Kasumi's figure disappear from the hill, then I move my line of sight to Alice's store for a couple of seconds before deciding it's time for me to train.
I start slowly by going through the katas of each [Martial Art Skills] I possess, which there is more than before.
[Full Contact Karate] being the first one. [Moon Light Sword Style] second, where I just took out a [Empire Common Sword] to use for practice. Afterward, I switch to [Pumba], this one took the longest out of all my [Martial Art Skills] as it includes ALL usage in the concept of weapon, which would take longer than a few hours to do. Therefore, I just focus on using the sword like [Moon Light Sword Style] but used it in a different way.
Afterward, I put away the [Empire Common Sword], where it's almost night time. And all of this katas are basic ones or at least the one I can do for now. As some of the other [Martial Art Skills]' basic katas will require a long period of time and won't be enough time to do the others. Unless I use the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book].
"I'm home! Oh, did you just finish?" Alice asks me the very moment she walks through the front doors.
"Yeah, just doing the basic katas mostly." I replied. "Well, mostly the basic katas for the ones I can do with the amount of time I had."
"Well, it's time for dinner and I would say go take a shower because you stink with all the sweats from training, but honestly, when the last time you ever sweat?" Alice grin at her husband, then wrap her arms around his left arm and pull him along to upstairs.
"I honestly don't remember." I said truthfully and wonder if this just one of the benefits as a cultivator or maybe it's because of my broken Gamer's ability: [Gamer's Body], that make sweating a non-existing thing.
The next day*
Year 23: Day 89: Challenger? Not Even Close
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
"You want to say that again? Because I must have misheard you." I dig in my right ear before taking it out and blowing it, then turn my head, with my right ear pointing to the person, to hear better. As the person before me is Ranma, who came today after learning a bit from Kasumi about how I'm also a fellow martial artist and decided to test his [Martial Art Skills] against mine.
"As I said before, I want to see which one is best. My martial art against yours." Ranma said with pride, "Plus, you must be something if just you open this Dojo. So I want to see if you're that good or not."
"Uh huh, that's what I thought you said." I knew my sense of hearing wasn't wrong, but I just wanted to be sure, because I honestly don't know if this a common thing in this world, for a martial artist to come to a newly opened Dojo and challenge the master of it, where both will see who's martial arts is better than the other, then afterward... I have no idea. But, I guess I will find out soon.
"Alright, what's your name and the martial art you're using?" I ask Ranma, but I already know his name and what's his fighting style; however, he doesn't know that. Therefore, I got to ask him or some people would end up asking unwanted questions about how I know things that should be very private and only a selected group of people should know only.
"I'm Ranma Saotome and a practitioner in the ways of the [Saotome style of Anything Goes Martial Arts]." Ranma introduces himself and what his martial art is.
"I'm Ragna D. Mercer. As for the martial arts I use. I'm a master of many, but I'll just use one against you. So, you'll fight the master of the [Full Contact Karate]." I said to Ranma, as I got didn't take any stance at all.
Ranma narrows his eyes at me, then launch himself at me in high speed, throwing over hundreds of punches in a few seconds, making hundreds of afterimages of punches.
Using the right amount of strength to perform the [1st Stance: Fist of the Black Turtle], which is the first stance of the [Dance of Four Gods] set of [Technique]. A [Technique] that uses a powerful punch to interrupt the opponent's attack, where it can also create a shockwave that knockback surrounding enemies.
While I just use enough to stop Ranma from building up momentum and not allowing a single punch of his to land on me, while Ranma, himself is blown away with how much power behind my single straight punch.
With a single punch from me, I have caused Ranma to be heavily injured. As his shirt destroyed and his pants have multiple tears on them, where his body is covered in blood.
"Hmm. Maybe I should have held back even more." I thought out loud, causing Ranma, who is coughing blood to freeze up for a second before spitting out another mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.
I watch a small puddle of blood starting to form and let out a sigh, where I may need to adjust even more if using the [Full Contact Karate] is enough to literally put someone's life closer to death in a matter of seconds. As it hasn't even been an entire minute in this little match.
Walking up the injured Ranma, where I use [Rejection] and [Miracle of Life] to make it so Ranma is back in the same condition he was before he was injured by the [1st Stance: Fist of the Black Turtle]. As for his destroyed clothes. I left it as it is.
Of course, I made sure to wrap him up with newly created bandages via [Wisdom of The Sage]. Just on the safe side, then make him wear one of those hospital patient gowns. Afterward, I carry him over to the side and lay him near the window, where I have a spare bed to nap on whenever I feel like it during the day while waiting for potential students to arrive or when Kasumi cleaning the place.
After that is done. I left Ranma be and wait for him to wake up. At this point, I wonder if I should have to buy those old phones just in case, more of an appearance than anything. Since Alice and I can contact each other easily without those.
Shaking my head to stop thinking about useless things and decided to buy one for the Dojo/Household and for Alice's Music Store just for the sake of not dealing with people asking why neither Alice and I have one.
Once those thoughts left my mind. I resumed my basic training of the [Martial Art Skills] I haven't done yet while keeping an eye on Ranma until he wakes up.
A few hours later*
"So, want to tell me why there is a kid knocked out over there?" Alice asks me, as she enters the Dojo/Household after her business hours are done. "Is he one of your potential students, that you are looking for?" Alice made sure to not say certain words in case someone listening nearby.
"Well, he has the highest potential out of everyone I have seen so far." I said to Alice while telling her via [Archive], that Ranma here is a [Fated Soul], which is a big thing. Furthermore, I explained about how Ranma has been training since he was 2 years old. Something neither Alice or myself, even the other part of our family would start training our kids at such a young age.
"I see." Alice nods her head before walking over to Ranma on the side, then without any hesitation launch a punch towards Ranma's head, where Ranma's eyes snap open and quickly move out of the way by performing a back roll before switching to a backflip to create more distance away from Alice.
"What was that for?!" Ranma shouts at Alice, while not realizing he is moving without much trouble and would have caused others to question if he was really injured if it wasn't for all those bandages wrapped on his body.
"Oh, so I was expected to allow you to continue listening to our conversation?" Alice asks Ranma with eyes of disdain and loath, as this time is when dinner takes place, but is being delayed. Something Alice can barely tolerate.
"That doesn't give you the right to hit me out of nowhere!" Ranma continues to shout and wonder if pretending to be asleep was his best idea to do. But, can anyone blame him when he just wakes up in an unfamiliar place and his only experiences for this was the time him being kidnap in the past due to his Father's past deeds.
"Right?" Alice asks softly before giggle a little, causing a bad feeling to raise within Ranma. "I'm sure you have no idea how wrong you are."
Before Ranma realizes what happened. He found himself on the ground while looking at the ceiling of the building and having his left shoulder dislocated and having a bad headache. Ranma ignores the pain as he had to squint due to the bright light shining over his eyes. But, then someone leans over, blocking the light and allow Ranma to see who is blocking the light and found it the person that attacked him.
Alice smirks down at Ranma, where she easily throws him to the ground, but made sure to control her raw strength and not damage the wooden floor. Oh yeah, and not to end up killing the kid as well.
"Alright, Alice. Enough messing around with the kid. How about you set up dinner while I talk with the kid for a couple of minutes before I join you?" I stop Alice from following up with another attack and rather not have to deal with having to search for where he lives and drop him off, with a small chance of the people inside come out and see the injured Ranma.
Alice rolls her eyes at me, "Fine. But, don't take too long. You know how I hate having to wait to eat." With that said, Alice completely ignores Ranma on the ground and head upstairs to set up dinner. As tonight is will include pork chops, one her top thousand favorites to eat.
"So, still want to fight me? Because if so, mind doing it tomorrow or a month later, since I just finished treating you a few hours ago and rather not have to wait for you to wake up a few hours from now again." I look at Ranma with a blank gaze, that just causes Ranma to feel uncomfortable. As he slowly gets back on his feet while holding his left shoulder.
"Of course, I want to fight!" Ranma looks at me as if I asked such a stupid question just now. "Whatever you did before, I won't fall for it again!" Ranma took on a fighting stance, that's more on the line of rushing at me, but I can tell he was doing the opposite of that. But, due to his left shoulder dislocated, I can tell Ranma's fighting strength became a bit weakened.
However, I can tell by a glance that Ranma must have experienced having something on the line of having his body dislocated or badly injure and can still fight.
"Uh huh, yeah. Go home. It's already late and I need to have dinner with my wife. You're lucky my wife went very easy on you and martial art isn't even her strong point either. So, come back at another time." I said to Ranma as I appear next to him so fast, that by the time he could react. I have already replaced his left shoulder back into its right place.
Ranma swings his left arm unconsciously, not even feeling the pain of having his left shoulder pop back in.
I just took a step back before poking Ranma's forehead as I channel just a channel a bit of [Mana] to use [Ninjutsu] and place Ranma under an illusion, where the light in his eyes disappear.
Not even bother to say anything as Ranma starts walking out of the building and heading home, with his instinct guiding him while being semi-unconscious.
Afterward, I close the front gate, then the front doors and head up to join Alice for dinner. While thinking if Ranma worth being taken under as my first student of this world.
A few minutes later*
"So, planning to accept that kid as your student?" Alice asks me as she finished chewing a pork chop. "And if so, which [Martial Art Skills] you planning to teach him?"
"Honestly, there is a 90% chance of me accepting him, but the 9% rely on the kid while the 1% is due to an external source of influence." I said to Alice as I help myself with pork chops and mash potato. "As for which [Martial Art Skills]; well, I'm thinking about teaching him [Whoahyorakgeyok]. Since I checked on the kid's current martial art and the [Whoahyorakgeyok] would suit him without causing too much problem changing his fighting style."
[Whoahyorakgeyok] - Passive/Active - Lvl.100/100 - EXP: 100%
Description: Also known as [Hua]. A type of martial arts that [Mount Hwagwa Monkey] can use. It's unpredictable, aggressive, acrobatic, fast, and strong. There are unusual feral looking attacks. The footwork has the same traits. Using flips, spins, and jumps in its fighting style.
1st Effect: Gain access to [Whoahyorakgeyok's Skills and Techniques].
2nd Effect: Gain full mastery over the [Whoahyorakgeyok's Skills and Techniques].
3rd Effect: Able to use all [Skills and Techniques] in any environment.
4th Effect: Create your own move.
Alice raised an eyebrow before point her fork at me, "If I remember correctly, the [Whoahyorakgeyok] is something meant for [Mount Hwagwa Monkey] to use only, due to their unique physical body. And the only reason you have any knowledge and able to use the [Whoahyorakgeyok] is your 2nd profession. So how are you going to train the kid, who is a human and not a [Mount Hwagwa Monkey]?"
"Mostly just make the kid go through the training methods of the [Whoahyorakgeyok] and adjust a few things, so a human could use it. But, I may have to really customize it so the kid and maybe other humans can use it. Something almost impossible to do if it was someone else but me." I answered Alice's question, then start eating the mashed potato first.
"Heh, this kid is sure lucky if you're willing to make some modification to a [Martial Art Skill] not meant for human." Alice knew that this Ranma must be very someone special among the [Fated Soul]. "Think he the main character, as in this universe is named after him?"
"Should be, unless there another Ranma somewhere in this world, that either has a last name 1/2 or something on the line related to 1/2." I replied, not completely too sure if this Ranma is similar to Harry Potter. A powerful [Fated Soul] that is the main focus and someone with thick plot armor or something related to a plot armor for the main character to be a bit more different compared to the others.
"Hmm. I guess we'll have to see." Alice said to me, as she starts attacking the other foods on the table.
For the rest of the night, both Alice and I talk about other things. Mostly related to our 'jobs', with Alice checking what the latest music in this world while I just wait for potential students to come to me.

The next day*
Year 23: Day 90: Frustration
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
"Hmm. Maybe I should make a list of what day I should train in while picking out which days to be my relax day or just hang out with Alice in her Music Store." I thought out loud, completely ignoring Kasumi cleaning the place and ignoring Ranma, who is badly hiding from me by sticking to the ceiling via at the corner, to allow him to get a good grip. Watching me, to see if he could learn anything from me. As in any [Martial Art Skills], he could steal from me and add into his own fighting style.
Yup, from that one scan alone. I learn Ranma's history along with the fact that Ranma is someone who is willing to steal if needed to win due to it being a core part of his fighting style, and I find myself wondering if he was trained right, along with beating the arrogance out of him, then Ranma may be a monster in this world just from his [Martial Art Skills] alone.
But, I honestly don't feel like helping the kid work on his [Social Skills] just because I don't like his attitude. Not to mention, just potential alone won't be enough for me to take him as my students once I remember how back in my home universe. All those geniuses would have high chances of being killed off just by their talent alone or because of their big ego, where others are green with envy and willing to prevent a big future powerful enemy to appear. And those that just wanted to kill those that act like they're above others.
Furthermore, I know for a fact, that those that managed to survive would cause mayhem everywhere most of the time.
As the saying goes, the strong and powerful beings will attract many things, including danger itself.
I pause for a moment, as I realize that maybe this is why I keep ending up having the three factions hunting me down almost everywhere, just because my own LUCK stat must have drawn them to me.
Either to give me something, aka the memories to steal, or on the line of allowing me to reduce the enemies' numbers for a while until I gather my own forces.
Thinking about this for a few minutes before resuming back to making a list of what [Martial Art Skills] to work on which days.
"Ranma! Do you mind dusting while you're up there?!" Kasumi shout to Ranma, who panic a little that she revealing his hiding spot before sighed in relief when the person Ranma is spying on didn't look in his direction, then quickly help Kasumi clean the corner of the ceiling he is using before going to the other corners to do the same before returning back to his original corner and resume his watch.
A few minutes later*
I gave up on the idea of which [Martial Art Skills] to choose to work on certain days. Since by the time I return back to the [Full Contact Karate], I won't be surprised it would be a year or so on by then. As there is just too many [Martial Art Skills] that requires a long period of time just for practicing some of the moves while some don't require much time. An hour or two would be enough, something I'm planning to work on those early on first.
Luckily, I didn't include any [Martial Art Skills] that require using weapons in them. Since I have the [Martial Art Skill: Pumba] for all weapons usage. So have any other [Martial Art Skills] using weapons kind of useless. Besides the [Moon Light Sword Style], which I can't resist getting when I had the chance. Also, if it's just the [Weapon Techniques], then I can just recreate them with [Pumba] with ease.
"Come on already, do something." I heard Ranma's mumbling in frustration, something he started doing just a minute ago. Which I ignore since he did technically help Kasumi's cleaning, but I'm still not paying him since I never asked him to do so.
"Ranma! Come on, it's time for us to leave!" Kasumi shouts to Ranma, who scowls at me like I couldn't see it.
I did a quick glance to the calendar on the wall next to me, where I see it is Tuesday. Very curious on my part as to why Ranma not in school at the moment since I know it isn't time for school to release all their students. Then put this thought behind my head and focus onto what I should do for a hobby again. Seeing how my planning to make a list of what day to practice didn't go too well at all.
As I watch both Kasumi and Ranma left, after paying Kasumi for her cleaning service. I can tell that Ranma will try to spy on me again, but I don't think he smart enough to learn how to hide correctly unless it's part of a [Martial Art Skills]; however, right now, Ranma's [Stealth Skills] is just plain awful.
But, then again, he must have used this method to hide against normal people of this world, that barely have any [Detecting/Awareness Skills] to know if someone watching them from the shadow or not.
I glare to my right, where I notice a panda trying to sneak its way into my home. Not thinking about it for a moment, as I use [Fundamental Force Manipulation: Gravity Manipulation] and sends the panda, which is just a cursed form of Ranma's Father, crashing into the ground, making a panda-shaped print onto the ground.
Afterward, I manipulate the gravity to send the cursed panda man away from here. Like close to the nearby school.
Once that's out of the way, I resumed on thinking about what kind of hobby to take on or just train in one of my many [Martial Art Skills].
I blankly stare outside my front gate, then look at the bed near me.
"Nap time it is." I mumble to myself, seeing how both are just causing me to be more frustrated by the seconds from thinking about it too much. Therefore, nap time it is. May as well relax while I still can before crazy things happen.
The next day*
Year 23: Day 91: Ranma's Small Problem
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
"Seriously. Kid, you need to leave. Don't you have school or something?" I ask Ranma, who once again, skipped school. Something I find weird that no one is stopping the kid from ditching school like nothing.
"Not until you give me another rematch." Ranma demanded as he glares at me, where I'm currently lying on my bed as I was about to take a nap.
But, with Ranma glaring at me and I got this feeling he is willing to attack me when I'm asleep, making it a bit difficult for me to take my morning nap.
"Oh, that's right! Ranma, you need to go to school, you don't want your Father, to be mad at you, do you?" Kasumi just realizes that Ranma does have school and was too eager to have a helping hand, to remember. "It's very important to get your education."
"Yeah, don't be like those muscle-head people, who only know how to fight with their fist and not with their mouth or something." I said to Ranma, where I'm technically like those muscle-head people in some situations, but at the same time not in most cases.
"What you mean by that?" Ranma asks with confusion on his face, "Can people train their head like the rest of their body?"
Both Kasumi and I stare at Ranma for a couple of seconds, causing Ranma to be uncomfortable for a bit.
"What?! I'm being serious!" Ranma shouts at us.
"Oh, dear. I did not expect this." Kasumi seems a bit shocked, "Nope, I can't let you become like my Father." Unknowingly reveal what she secretly thinks about her Father, to both Ranma and me.
I raise an eyebrow at this, as I watch Kasumi drag a confused and frustrated Ranma out of the building.
I think about it for a second, then start locking the front door and gate, then head over to Alice's Music Store hang out with her for the rest of the day. Seeing how no one in this Town wanted to join my Dojo. Well, I would count Ranma, but I rather not let him steal my [Martial Art Skills] when I can teach him if he becomes my student that is; however, I don't think he will become my student with how things going so far. After meeting him.
On another note, it literally impossible for Ranma to copy/steal my [Martial Art Skills] by just using the [Skill: Rejection]. So, I have no problem, Ranma watching me train.
The next day*
Year 23: Day 92: Magical Hands
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
"Do I need to kick you out of here and call someone from the school to get you?" I ask Ranma, as I look at him with a bored gaze while giving Alice a back massage, as Alice decided to close the Music Store today.
"Hmm, right there..." Alice mumble as she moans in pleasure a little quietly, "I think I like this new hobby of yours, Ragna."
"We'll see if this will stick or not." I said to my wife, as I continue to softly send [Mana] into Alice's back with the help of [Miracle of Life], to make her feel with absolutely no pain at all. While at the same time, relieving Alice of build up stress as well.
Currently, I'm trying out using my [Skills] into a normal hobby to see if it catches my interests.
"Come now, don't bother Mr. Mercer while he giving his wife a back massage." Kasumi looks at Ranma with disapproval while continuing to force Ranma to learn how to clean along with her while giving a few bits of advice about what needed to know about. For example, it's very rude to demand things from others.
"Come on, Kasumi, you know how this is important for me. Martial arts is all I know and grow upon. And honor, don't forget honor. I was raised to be an honorable man." Ranma nods his head, not noticed the look on Alice and my face when he said that.
"Hey! Don't ignore me, fight me already!" Ranma shouts at me, causing Kasumi to let out a disappointed sigh and resume doing her cleaning job, she is being paid for. While thinking of a way to control Ranma, who is a trained martial artist while she just someone who do house chores instead, not even her own Father taught her above the basics of the family's martial arts.
"Kid, if you really want to fight me. Then get stronger, with a single punch from me and you were already on the doorstep of death itself if it wasn't for me to treat your wounds." I said to Ranma, who grits his teeth, knowing what I said is the truth.
"Wait, what?!" Kasumi looks at Ranma, with absolute horror, "Is that why you were covered in bandages when you came home a few days ago?!"
"Uh." Ranma took a step back, forgetting that it wasn't that long when he was badly injured, that on the very top of how bad he was injured during his entire life. Also, a reminder of the urge to find out how in the world he appeared at the Tendo's Dojo/Household that day as well.
"By the way, how come the kid isn't in school? Is the school on a weeklong break or something?" Alice asks Kasumi and Ranma, mostly towards Kasumi than Ranma, while trying not to moan too loudly as she enjoys the back massage her husband giving her. This is a hobby she truly wishes her husband keep and is willing to inform the other wives about how magical it is.
"There's no point of me going to school, if what they taught there is useless to me." Ranma declared, without a single hint of wanting to go back to school at all.
"Kasumi, you may want to smack some senses into the kid's head before he ends up having only one path in life instead of multiple and if he fails it. His entire life will be ruined." I said to Kasumi as a small advise for her and Ranma to take. I can easily predict the bad ending for Ranma.
Seeing how Ranma's personality and history are similar to many other people I know in my home universe, along with most being in the cultivator universes. Bad ending equal someone worthless and at the mercy of everyone, with a high chance of experience all horror things before being killed off. Even that may only be a short moment, as some cultivator gained some insight into the [Dao of Soul] or have a [Soul Manipulation Skill] and would trap the very souls they killed, to be tortured forever.
"I don't need any other paths! Martial art is the only path I shall take on!" Ranma shouts at me, glaring at me for daring to stray him off his life main goal of becoming the best.
"And it looks like you need to get your hearing checked, because I said you need other options to have just in case, not quit martial arts." I said dryly, as I start channeling a bit more [Mana] into my hands, causing Alice to let out a loud moan.
Making Kasumi blush at how loud Alice's moan is while Ranma didn't seem to be bothered, which seem normal to me. Seeing how Ranma's Father is the cause of putting Ranma's head of nothing but martial arts. Even the concept of lust is literally unknown to Ranma and he never even got the 'talk' about sex and all that.
"Um. I'm finished cleaning Mr. Mercer. Come now, Ranma. We need to leave." Kasumi said to Ranma, not even give the latter a chance to reply and was a little surprised to find himself dragged by Kasumi like nothing and exit the building quickly.
"Kasumi! Kasumi! Wait! Stop! My shoulder about to pop out! Kasumi!" I heard Ranma's cries of pleads being ignored until his voice disappear quickly after a couple of seconds.
"She forgot to grab her payment. Well, I guess I will pay double tomorrow for her cleaning service." I said mostly to myself. "Be honest with me, Alice. Did you moan out loud just to get Kasumi to take Ranma away or is my massage is that good?" I ask Alice, who starting to pant a little.
"A little bit of b-both!" Alice replied, "But, mostly you are tha-at good!"
I snort at this, "I'm guessing you're planning to get the other wives to be curious about this, then making it a permanent thing?"
"Of course!" Alice moan one last time as she felt her husband's hands left her back, much to her disappointment. "Unless this is something you don't like, then it's fine. But, I do hope you give the others a try before you stop doing it."
"I will do it sometime, but not too often." I said to Alice, as she tries to calm down her heart. "Besides, I'm sure you and the others will want sex more than a massage."
"Can't argue with that, but that doesn't mean the others and I won't try to find a way to get you to give us a massage, or a full body massage often. Pretty sure all of us would love that, including you." Alice grin at me, "Now, it's time for lunch."
"Don't you want to take a shower first, since you're covered in sweat." I said to Alice, who scoff at me.
"I don't mean that lunch, I meant you as my lunch." Alice smirk before pulling me into a kiss deeply, including tongue that lasts for an entire minute before Alice got up from the bed and walk upstairs while swaying her hips. "Make sure to lock the front before joining me in the bathroom, Ragna."
I blankly stare at Alice's figure going upstairs before quickly locking things up the front gate, door, along with the ground floor's windows and head upstairs to join my wife in the bathroom.
The next day*
Year 23: Day 93: Temporary Solution
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
"So, are you guys are going to repair the wall, which both of you two broke?" I ask the two kids stacked on top of one another underneath my right foot. There Ranma, but also Ryoga, who tags along for a fight with the former and end up breaking a wall in my home.
As a result, I just use [Rejection: Rejected Death] to prevent them from dying while I give them a beating they'll never forget in their entire life.
Now, these two have broken limbs and missing a few teeth. Nothing too hard for me to fix.
"Yeah, we promise, right Ryoga?" Ranma replied instantly with a hint of fear in his voice.
"Yup, we'll fix the wall in no time after we get treated." Ryoga said weakly, to the person he gained a large amount of fear, that literally just crippling him and may no longer be able to do martial arts ever again, much to his sadness.
"Good. As for treatment. Well, I'll have to knock the two of you out for me to treat you." I said to both Ranma and Ryoga, and before they could reject this, I knock them out cold and quickly treat all their wounds, including fixing their broken limbs with ease.
Afterward, wrap them in medical bandages, all done in a few seconds before I force them to wake up.
"Alright, get to work on fixing the wall. You're no longer that injured." I said to both Ranma and Ryoga, where both are completely shocked that they been treated already and not feeling hurt anywhere on their bodies.
However, this didn't make them any less afraid of the person that injure them. No, this made it even worse, because if the person on their minds is able to heal them back to health in no time, then that mean the person they fear can hurt them even more without any problem of outright killing them.
Therefore, both Ranma and Ryoga quickly get to work and fix the wall as soon as possible, so they can escape from this place and try their best to never come back if it the last thing they do.
I walk over to my bed and relax while keeping an eye on these two. As I'm happy for my LUCK stat comes into play as today, Kasumi decided to take this chance to go over to Alice's Music Store to clean the place.
Therefore, not giving Kasumi a chance to see how brutal I can be, but honestly, this is literally just me playing around and not taking them seriously at all. Even if this just me being overconfident, doesn't mean I lower the attention of my surroundings.
Nonetheless, this world or at least this Town, no one is able to force me to become serious in a fight at all.
Rubbing my chin as I thought about how I gave Alice a back massage yesterday and my reward of doing so afterward.
'Maybe I should open a side business of being a massage therapist? Seeing how no one, other Ranma and now maybe Ryoga as well, wants to become my students at all. Therefore, this whole Dojo is almost falling apart. I say almost, but it hasn't even been a month yet and I rather not give up too soon. Also, my LUCK stat will surely bring me a student, I will like to teach.' I thought to myself, ignoring both Ranma and Ryoga bickering about something I didn't want to know about.
I glare at them, causing them to cry out in fear and quickly pick up the pace on fixing the wall.
'I'll just talk about this with Alice later. Then again, she may decide at first it's a great idea, but later on, it becomes a bad idea due to me not giving her personal time often enough and will try to make me close this whole side business down.' I thought dryly, knowing how my wife reacted from the massage yesterday.
3 hours later*
After Ranma and Ryoga fixed the wall. Those two run out of the building like mad as if they just escape death itself barely. Not too far from the truth.
Afterward, Kasumi came back to inform me she done cleaning at Alice's Music Store just a few minutes after Ranma and Ryoga left.
Kasumi even mentions how Alice has already paid her. So no need for me to pay her and left to go home.
'Ugh, I'm so bored.' I thought to myself, wondering why my LUCK stat haven't sent any good students for me to teach. Of course, I can guess my LUCK stat influenced both Ranma and Ryoga to come here, as an option for me to take them as my students. But, that's just asking for headaches. Even both of them have the highest potential I have seen so far.
Looking up at the ceiling, thinking about what else I should do. Other than just lazy enough, something I'm not used to.
Alice won't be home for hours, making the whole idea of just giving her a back massage, then sex and maybe breakfast or lunch tomorrow, depending on how long we go at it. Not an option for me to take.
This made me sweatdrop, that other than sex, training, and fighting. I don't have anything to do.
"Of course!" I shout as I was struck with a great idea, "I shall read all the manga I purchased from Ingui Yoon's home universe." As I remember my original hobby before gaining the Gamer's ability, and just like that, I gained a temporary hobby to keep myself busy while waiting for my wife to come home from work.
5 days later*
Year 23: Day 98: Doing A Small Favor
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
With today being Wednesday, and being a school day, I expected Ranma and/or Ryoga to show up any moment with Kasumi. But, after a few days ago when I put the fear into them. They haven't shown up once afterward. Even yesterday, Ranma didn't show up, making me raise an eyebrow and learned from Kasumi, that Ranma finally got caught by his Father and forcing him to attend school by making sure he reaches school and don't leave it until school hours are over.
"Hmm, I really need to read these more. Some of these I think I'll recreate." I mumble my thoughts out loud, as I'm currently reading one of the manga I purchased years ago. Before something disturb my reading time as someone knocked on the front gate.
"Excuse me! Is anyone home?!" I heard someone outside, letting out an annoyed sigh. I got up and head out to see who it was and found it a male student, who has dark circles under his eyes and is skinny, like he hasn't eaten in days or slept for that manner.
"What you here for? Unless you here to join my Dojo." I look at him from top to bottom, "Then, I give you my respect for wanting to change."
"Uh, no Sir. I'm just here to ask if you know Ranma Saotome? Oh, I'm Gosunkugi Hikaru. Nice to meet you, Sir." Gosunkugi gives me a small bow before looking at me nervously.
"Yeah, I know the kid. I guess your his classmate or something?" I give Gosunkugi a bored gaze.
"Ah, yes, I'm his classmate, but I wish to ask if you know Ranma's weakness?" Gosunkugi asks me, causing me to raise an eyebrow.
"And why should I tell you this?" I ask back, which just caused this kid to become a bit more excited for some reasons.
"You know his weakness?!" Gosunkugi asks with excitement and joy, "Can you tell me, please?!"
"I'll repeat myself. Why should I tell you this?" I look at Gosunkugi, who seems to be a bit out of it. As in he like mean, who may zone out and be in my own little world. "Never mind, don't bother asking me. Now leave." I use [Ninjutsu] on the kid to leave and after that, I head back inside to resume my reading time.
2 weeks later*
Year 23: Day 112: The Meeting
(Furinkan Town: Mercer Dojo/Household)
"HAHAHA! Are you for real?!" I look at Kasumi if she was being serious after explaining to me how Ranma act like a cat whenever his fear of cats reach its peak. I knew this already, but need to act like I didn't know about it at all.
"Yes, Mr. Mercer. I'm serious. Poor Ranma, to have such a tragedy trauma." Kasumi replied, "Anyway, I have to leave now. I'll come back tomorrow again." Kasumi gives me a small bow before exiting the building.
"Alright, have a safe trip Kasumi." I said to Kasumi as she politely waves me a farewell from outside the front gate and walks away.
"Welp, back to reading. I wonder what happens next?" I thought out loud, thinking about the current manga series I'm reading.
3 hours later*
"GET BACK HERE!" I heard the familiar voice of Ranma, shouting at someone.
"Now, what." I mumble to myself, leaving the manga book on the bed as I exit the front door and see Ranma chasing after a small granny, who I found out is quite old to the people of this world. As she 300+ years old.
I honestly don't know if I should interfere or not. On one hand, I would like to see the reaction on this small granny's face of meeting me and Alice. While on the other hand, I don't really feel like bringing any trouble into my life. But, I realize not a second later, that with Ranma here. Trouble will just be drawn to him like no tomorrow. Not to mention, my life is full of problems, why not just add another. Not that it makes much of a difference.
