Mahora is a really lively place.
There’s
always something going on!
Everyone
seems to generally have a good time as well.
There were plenty of little incidents
here and there as the days rolled by. Firstly,
Asuna discovered that Negi is a mage.
This was a troubling fact to learn, but as long as it was just Asuna
things would be ok. Unfortunately it
seemed like Negi was unconsciously trying to reveal his secret. There was the love potion fiasco, dodge ball
game against the seniors of class 2-D and the trip to Library Island in the
hopes of class 2-A no longer being the worst class in the academy certainly made
things interesting. I was afraid Negi
and the others wouldn’t make it back from Library Island, or at least not in
time for the exam.
I was a
part of the communication team for the trip through Library Island.
I wasn’t told about all of that
until after the fact mind you, so I was shocked when I learned that Negi would
be dropped as a teacher if 2-A was the last class in the rankings again. Alice and Karen both scored above average,
and even the so called “Baka Rangers” managed to score above 60 collectively.
There was also a party for getting
the top ranking thrown by the class.
Chisame
got embarrassed by the brat.
Then there was the whole Evangeline
episode that-
Don’t
you speak badly of mistress Evangeline!
But…she
sucked my blood and turned it into power to attack Negi.
A minor
detail!
Evangeline finally showed her true
nature as a vampire and began attacking students, Karen being one of them. Negi confronted her, and while her magic
power was sealed to the point he could outclass her, Chachamaru proved to be
too much for him to handle. Asuna and I
came to Negi’s rescue, and the two fled.
After that a talking ermine named Kamo made his way to the school. After he tried tricking Negi into forming a
pactio I had an idea. If I could convince
Alice and Karen to form a pactio with me Kamo could provide the necessary
components and I’d have the ministras I needed as a magister magi.
It took
a lot of convincing for me to accept.
I didn’t
mind as long as I got to be more useful to you.
After some negotiating with him
Kamo agreed to perform the ritual for us.
When I
learned what we had to do I can’t say I wasn’t nervous…
Nervous? It was just a k-kiss. Not like I lost my first kiss during a stupid
pactio or anything.
I think it’s safe to say we were
all a bit embarrassed by the prospects of having to kiss. But that’s what it takes to form a pactio,
and I would not be deterred.
So what
did you plan on doing if we refused?
Karen’s too nice to say no. I’d probably just trick you into doing it if
you said no.
WHY DON”T
YOU JUST GO DIE FOR ME!
I might have gone too far with that
one. Anyway, with our pactios set I was
sure we could assist Negi in getting the drop on Evangeline. But when I confronted her she simply laughed
at my face, telling me it would take eons to even begin thinking about making
threats like that to her. It made be
upset, but then I realized that she probably lived so much longer than I have
even combining all of my jumps. I let
her in that my own abilities were sealed to a certain extent and she laughed at
me again. But this time she had a look
of pity on her face. I managed to have a
conversation with her and she told me a few things about herself. Not much of use besides who cursed her (Negi’s
father, the Thousand Master) and how long she had been at Mahora due to her
curse.
I decided attacking someone whose
powers were sealed more than mine would leave a bad taste in my mouth and let
her be for a while. Alice insisted that
she become Evangeline’s disciple, but was turned down.
I wasn’t
turned down! She simply didn’t realize
that I’m worthy of being her student yet.
So Alice was turned down by
her. A number of days passed before her
plan came into action. It seems that the
seal on her power is controlled through the school’s own electricity. So when the power got turned off for maintenance
she regained a substantial amount of power.
I would have helped Negi fight her, but I had my hands full keeping the
students that fell under Evangeline’s control away from Negi. The main problem was Karen.
I-I’m
really sorry I was made into one of Evangeline’s minions. I don’t remember anything about it, but you
had some injuries I’m sure I caused.
I also felt that Negi had to settle
things with Evangeline himself to continue growing. So I didn’t feel too bad missing the
confrontation with the first boss to test my skills against Karen. While she’s definitely stronger than me I
managed to beat her with my skills in hand to hand combat and the shundo
(instant movement) technique.
Just
going to forget that I was there dealing with the rest of the controlled
students?
I guess you were there too, weren’t
you Alice? I wouldn’t have been able to
take them all on by myself with Karen on their side. You make a great partner.
Whatever. Don’t know why I formed a pactio with someone
not even strong enough to take on a few middle school girls. You should just go die.
Negi managed to beat Evangeline and
Chachamaru with the help of Asuna, who he formed a pactio with. When all was said and done Evangeline seemed
to have greater respect for Negi and even the three of us as well. She even gave Negi a lead to finding his
father.
It was
nice of her to do that.
She
only did it because he tricked her into thinking his father is still alive.
It probably wasn’t a trick. Anyway, the thing everyone is looking forward
to is the trip to Kyoto, where the lead Eva told Negi is at.
