Introduction
"Yes! Finally! We are in Jusenkyo!"
After numerous weeks of travel, Master of the Saotome-Style of Anything Goes Martial Arts Genma Saotome and his daughter, Ranma, finally reached their destination. The old man had heard about these marvelous training grounds and after convincing some locals (who barely understood Japanese) to read the guide for him just to make sure he was in correct place, he discovered the Cursed Springs!
Each spring contains a magical curse, if he just could find the correct one, then…
Yes! If he finds the Spring of Drowned Man, he can finally fulfill the promises he made!
The Guide toured them through the springs, trying to warn them all the way: "Honorable client should not come here, each spring is…"
"Yes, yes, I know!" interrupted Genma, which made the guide frown in confusion. "C'mon, boy!" he screamed to his daughter while jumping to a nearby bamboo pole sticking out of one of the springs.
"I'm a girl, you jackass! When you're gonna learn!?" she followed him, jumping into another bamboo pole.
"Humph! I refuse to acknowledge you as a girl! Girls are weak and crybabies, but you're as strong as me and almost never cries! Therefore you are a boy!" He prepared a one legged instance and his daughter did the same.
"Goddammit, Pops, you're rambling about that again!?" She jumped and tried to kick him, but he jumped to another post just in time. "Why you're so obsessed with my gender!? It's insulting! I was born a girl and I feel like a girl, so I. AM. A. FUCKING. GIRL!" She punctuated each word with an attack, but her father dodged each attack at the last moment. "STOP SO I CAN HIT YOUR NONSENSE GUTS UNTIL THEY START TO MAKE SENSE!"
"Nag, nag, nag! Is that all you do?! God, you're like a girl or something!" he dodged another close kick to his face.
"I AM A GIRL!" she was so frustrated that she did not even notice when he grabbed her ankle until it was too late. With a sing-song voice, her father replied:
"Not anymore~!"
"Wait, wha-!" she is then launched suddenly into one of the springs, the one Genma was sure to be the Spring of The Drowned Man.
"Humph! I always wished for a boy and a boy is what I'm getting!" her father said crossing his arms in triumph.
Quickly approaching the fallen girl, the Jusenkyo Guide verified which Cursed Spring she fell into.
"Oh, no! Honorable client, you suffered terrible fate! This be Spring of Drowned Cat, this spring has tragic story of cat that drowned in it 1800 years ago!" hearing this, Genma immediately got desperate.
"Wait, did you say cat!?"
The spring immediately exploded and a loud and terrifying yowl scared both men.
