About the same, though I wasn't that badly beat up like you were. My ribs should be about healed up by now, and breathing doesn't feel like my lungs are on fire. I'd say I'm fit as a fiddle.
Hah! Beardo's done basically nothing to me. My body also has a faster healing time compared to most people. Only need a few days of bedrest, and I'm good as new.
[That, and he figured if he went to Kaveh or someone else for healing purposes, they'd make a big scene over him showing up unannounced with severe injuries that'd kill most ten times over.]
Ganon was using some pretty wicked magic back there though. I've never felt anything like it before. [Sensing it during the fight felt like he was being inundated in a smog of pure malice at its source.] I'd keep track of anything weird or bad for you if I were you, just in case he did something to you.
I know you know a little bit about my power but I never told you where it came from.
On my world I'm a reincarnated demon god. I'm supposed to destroy my world. I think that's why I survived what Ganondorf threw at me.
The thing is, I've never used my power. If I use too much of my strength then I risk destroying my body. But Ganondorf hit like nothing I'd ever encountered before. It was like fighting my brother.
I was no match.
Ranma, I want you to train me so I can withstand the force of my own power.
[One helluva demon-god-harbringer-of-the-end-days bombshell to drop all at once there Darin. However is Ranma supposed to process this, he's going to need a long, LONG time to take all of this in-]
Huh. Cool.
[Or never mind. He's rather more taken aback by what Darin said after the fact.]
Why me though? Not that I'm not flattered or nothing.
Ranma you went toe-to-toe with me and Ganondorf. I may have been holding back but that doesn't change the fact that you can do things that no one else in my world can.
You helped protect Zelda.
I trust you.
And If I'm going to get stronger. Strong enough to be able to stand against Ganondorf I need to stop running from what I can do and actually learn what I can do.
I'm just used to holding my own against foes hundred times stronger than I am. [Though he'll take the ego boost, so thanks for that Darin. That, and hearing someone say they actually trust him wholeheartedly, no doubts or second-guessing... feels really nice to hear actually.] But I'm hearing what ya saying here. Besides, I was hoping to get a chance to spar and train with you again, so we're both getting something out of this.
[Beat.]
How else do you want me to react to that? 'OH WOW THAT'S SO AWESOME' or 'EEK, STAY FAR AWAY FROM ME!'?
I can tell you what I know about my abilities but I admit it isn't much. But after seeing what you can do and hearing about your training, I admit I got a bit of a fire burning in me.
And I'd expect more of a reaction considering I just told you my biggest secret!
Fair enough. Alright then, I can help you figure out what you can and can't do with your powers, to the best of my abilities anyway.
[So far, all of his 'disciples' have been people younger than him who knew what they could do. This'll be a bit of a shake up from the norm.]
Might be your biggest secret, but to be frank, you ain't exactly the first technical god-demon thing I've met before. You're just the first that hadn't tried to kill me.
[If that's what he's calling his time back home, then he's got a grand list that'd make the Library of Alexandria's catalogue look like a rinky-dink bookmobile.]
So do you have any questions or anything? I'm not used to dropping the whole "I'm a world ending god of destruction" bit without some sort of follow-up.
[Gotta stop assuming people know what you're talking about Ranma.]
Life energy.
Maybe? It can take people their entire life to even be able to consciously use their ki to do basic things like pocket items, accelerate your body's healing, all that. I've only learnt how to convert it into an attack like two years ago.
My body already heals at an accelerated rate though.
I wonder if I actually can convert that energy into something.
Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. First thing's first, I need to train my body to be able to throw a punch without it destroying my bones from the recoil.
Gonna be straight with you, working with ki's not entirely my strongest purview. The old crone's more familiar with that, hell, she's the one who taught the guy who inspired me to make my own version of his technique. But I'm willing to give it the old college try.
... Speaking of the old crone, she actually put the same guy, Ryoga, through training that made him durable as hell, more than me. I wasn't there when she did it, but we could try that.
Sounds like a plan to me. Truth is? I don't have any idea what my limits are. My brother wiped out a city with some kinda power I've never seen so apparently I'm capable.
But if I put my whole strength into a punch, I'm pretty sure it'll blow my arm off.
That blow I landed on Ganondorf that knocked him through to the upper decks was the best punch I've ever thrown. Somehow, that didn't destroy my arm but that still is only a portion of my power.
It's scary. Not gonna lie. I'm not a fan of my strength.

[Maybe it's time Darin comes clean about his powers to Ranma. After all, Darin wasn't exactly subtle when he started to lose his temper.]
I'm glad you're alright, though.
