Chapter 1

It was a normal morning in Mahora Academy, students preparing for school, teachers preparing for classes, and a certain red head girl taking her usual route of running to first period. She was quite the athletic type, so running to school was nothing for her. Especially since her dorm roommate / friend Konoka Konoe would accompany her in the mornings while rolling on her skates. Also, her homeroom teacher and second dorm roommate, Negi Springfield, would be running along her side, just barely keeping up with her inhuman athletic speed.

"Good morning, Asuna-san!" Negi said. He would always have a look on his face saying 'yeah, I'm a 10 year old teacher and I'm proud of it!' whenever he'd greet one of his students .Asuna nodded with a grin on her face and responded

"mornin' Negi-sensei." Konoka, on the other hand, was just lost in her own little happy trance as she skated along. 'Of course, it's only obvious for her to be this way. I mean, Setsuna did confess to her only a mere few weeks ago. And Konoka gladly accepted, now she's beaming with love.' Asuna thought. Everything in Mahora Academy seemed so peaceful, tranquil, care-free, but maybe a bit too peaceful. Asuna's class, class 3A, wasn't the normal everyday class of middle school girls. They need excitement in their life every now and again. Even Asuna's thoughts admitted this 'hopefully something fun will happen soon; things are getting a little boring now…. Sigh'


The bell ranged and Asuna was in homeroom. Her energetic classmates were behaving their same wacky selves as usual. She leaned back in her seat with a blank, emotionless look as she stared at the ceiling. Negi noticed Asuna's strange behavior and decided to see what was wrong with his student.

"Asuna, are you okay? You've been acting strange lately; do you need to see the nurse?" Negi asked with a concerned look on his face.

"I'm fine, Negi, just… a little bored…. I guess" Asuna sighed as she hesitated with her word choice." I guess you could say that I'm tired of the calm atmosphere; I wish something new or interesting would just happen." Negi was caught quite off guard by Asuna's statement; for this was highly unusual for Asuna's hyperactive, fiery personality. 'Maybe she does need to see a nurse after all' Negi thought with disbelief.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, speaking of new things!" Negi said with an excited look on his face. Asuna leaned forward in her chair to give her full attention. "I have an announcement for the class; calm down everyone and sit in your seats, this is important!" Negi ordered. The class scrambled back to their seats, curious of what news could be so important.' He said it was something about it being new; what could it be?' Asuna thought as she paid attention; feeling extra anxious.

"Tomorrow, we'll have a new transfer student from the United States. I ask that you make her feel comfortable once she arrives and help her adapt to the ways of our school." Negi said.

The entire class become rowdy and excited as they chatted about the 'what if's' of the transfer student. Some squeals were heard, some pouts of disinterest were heard, and some students sat there silent. Konoka and Setsuna didn't really pay much attention at all, because they were too busy with each other. They've quickly become used to the open affection that they shared for each other. As Konoka sat there quite comfortably in Setsuna's arms, the swordsman would whisper sweet talk into the healer's ears; causing Konoka to blush at every comment. In other words, reactions about this news had quite a variety; but most of them were excited, including Asuna. She had an ear-to-ear grin when she learned there'd be a new transfer student from the United States! That smile didn't disappear from her lips for quite a while.


Once classes for today were over, Asuna returned to her dorm room. Once she entered; she noticed that Konoka was here cooking dinner but Negi wasn't back yet.

"Where's Negi, Konoka?" Asuna asked while plopping down on the couch.

"I think he had a meeting after school, at least that's what grandpa said" Konoka answered as she hummed while stirring the stew.

"Well whatever, anyways, what do you think about the transfer student coming tomorrow? Asuna asked. She knew she couldn't forget about the subject too long. It was all she could think about today. She had to talk to someone about it to relieve the built up energy she held in during classes.

"Huh? What transfer student?" Konoka asked with a confused look on her face.

"Negi just told us today! During home room…. the transfer student from America…..rings any bells?" Asuna said with a sarcastic but playful tone.

"Ohhhh….it was during home room. No wonder I don't remember, I was too busy flirting with MY Secchan." Konoka said with a mischievous look in her eyes.

'Oh dear Kami, don't let this simple child be blinded by love. Return her from Lala Land and back down to earth with us.' Asuna thought with a pitying expression on her face. She stared at the healer whose mind was swayed and filled with thoughts about her swordsman. She knew she should just give up talking to her about this and decided to be patient 'til tomorrow.

Later on that day it was time for dinner. Konoka invited Setsuna over to eat with them as well. Negi returned from his meeting and warmed up his leftover share of dinner. The day was reaching its end point; Konoka and Negi were already asleep. Asuna was still feeling a little busy bodied, her mind couldn't rest easy about it, and she wanted it to be tomorrow right now. Before she started to feel her eyes getting heavy and sleepy, she had one final thought.' I can't wait to meet her!'
