Ranma looked down to realize that another was about to happen.  The
force of the water's blast was carrying her out of the ring - and to
defeat.  She tried to swim against the force of the water, but it was a
useless gesture - Ranma vaguely remembered lessons from her physics
class.  You couldn't lift yourself off the ground, and you couldn't swim
up a waterfall.  She could do a lot of things, but defying the laws of
physics was not among them.

Ranma should have paid better attention in science class. What he did in
this scene isn't against the laws of physics. He's using the water to
lift himself off the ground, gaining an upward momentum by imparting
downward momentum to the water. This is exactly how an airplane lifts
itself off the ground. A superhuman feat for a swimmer, but not
physically impossible as is claimed here.

Ranma was interested in telling them that they were closer to her than
they knew.  He finished his ramen and ignored their questions.

I think you meant to put a "not" there.

Well, whaddya think?  More to come.

Looks good so far. I don't know what's going to keep Ranma from just
running away, but I guess we'll find out.
