~FFXMSN~

The other world (Negima)

Earth, in the country called Japan. At the town called Mahora, the time was around 4 PM evening, the citizens swarming the streets, where they were surrounded by colourful shops and lights, the kids, teenagers, students, adults were happily enjoying in this town. Somewhere deep inside the forest, a bright gold lights appeared around the open area, a powerful seal appeared on the ground, and powerful warding surrounding the seal, which prevent the others detect the sudden appeared of magic, even can prevent from the machine detection, a humanoid figure appeared, six feet tall. Black long hair, he wearing a tattered red cape, held in place over his shoulders and lower faces by several buckles. Underneath his cape, he's attire is black with several straps and buckles. Vincent wears a holster for his Cerberus against his right leg, and pointed metallic boots. He also wears a golden gauntlet on his left arm. He carries a backpack and a sheathed sword beside his waist. After the lights dies down, the figure fell down on the knee, slowly he's standing up, open his eyes and look around the nearby area.

[Start music: Awakened Forest – Final Fantasy 9]

"…Seems I'm arrived." Vincent muttered and started to look around the area. "I'd probably landed somewhere deep inside the forest…" Vincent muttered while looking around. He's now walking toward the south by his instinct, slowly passing through many trees, avoiding been tripped by trunks, slowly he's examining the trees, 'The trees around here looks so healthier than our world… wait… how come I can feel the tree's condition?' Vincent thought when he's done examining a tree, then he recalled back that he have received the god's power, 'Probably I received the god's powers, and that's how I can feel the trees…' Vincent thought while still walking toward the direction he chose with his instinct. After few minutes of walk, he can see a town right in front of him, he observing the area of the town from the shadow. Before he begun to steps out, he need to study the area first, the surrounding areas, the buildings, the peoples, the clothes that the peoples were wearing, some are colorful, some are dark like Lolita, 'Civilians… No guards or soldiers… yet don't seems like having any troubles or something like hostiles happens… the weapons must be not allow to be show in public… and those clothes must be their casual clothes, and it's so different than our place…' Vincent thought, first, he put down the bags behind him on the ground, then he use his dark powers to change his appearance, he is now wearing a black long sleeve shirt with the Dirge of Cerberus logo at front middle, his left wrist wearing a black Dirge of Cerberus chain, black jeans with Cerberus chains and black leather shoes.

'It's really convenient… to have this ability that I've learned decades ago…' Vincent thought.

[End of the Music]

On the street of Mahora

"This should do it…" Vincent muttered as he looks at himself. "Alright… next is to hide these weapons." Vincent hides his Cerberus, along his holster and then he wraps his sheathed sword with a cloth and hid inside his backpack, then he's stepped out from the forest shadow, and now he's walking on the streets, he checks around the nearby, the stalls, shops and many more, everything almost same as his world, the vehicle, except the shops which they don't sell weapons, the shops don't have sell any Materias and potion neither because it doesn't exist in this world.

'How modern… a bit old but still similar to our world, and peaceful… I don't think they have any kinds of advanced technologies like Mako reactor… I don't sense there's any trace of Lifestream in this world… and also, I don't sense any kind of monsters' presences, it must means that the monsters doesn't exist in this world… well… that just my assumption. I haven't knows anything yet.' Vincent thought, he then hears people are talking, girls giggling, people talking using cellphone, chitchatting. '…Unfamiliar languages… but I can understand those…' Vincent thought as he looked at those signs filled with different languages.

Vincent look at the people around him are enjoying in this town, well, to be more precise, in this campus, because the place he standing is a large campus, he doesn't know yet. Vincent keeps walking while sight-seeing the place, until he felt something will happen at far away in front of him, then he walk toward to that location hastily without disturbing other people in his path.

~FFXMSN~

Seat number 13: Konoe Konoka, the innocent girl with brunette hair and a very cheerful person, and gave off an aura of friendship and kindness. She walking down the streets alone, along with the grocery she bought for tonight dinner, and there was a person hiding in shadow secretly watching over Konoka.

Seat number 15: Sakurazaki Setsuna, black long hair that was tied up in one direction leaving the right part of her hair falling down, she was secretly watching over her, Konoka was smiling while walking back to her apartment until she accidently bumped into a big size and scary man, the height about 2 meter, along with some of that man's henchmen, Konoka's ankle was injured, which cause her unable to stand for moment.

"Hey, little girl… it hurt so much…" The man said with threatened tone.

"I… I'm sorry for accidently bumped into you…" Konoka apologizes while shaking in scare.

"Hm… you kinda cute…" The man said before he grab Konoka's arm tightly, this cause she felt a heavy grip and hurting her, the girl hiding in shadow angered, she was about to go out and help her but suddenly a person with backpack, red headband, long black hair and every clothes are in black, appeared in front of them, that's Vincent.

"Let her go… if you may." Vincent demanded.

"Huh…? Who do you think who you are? Huh?" One of the henchmen yelled back.

"Hey, perhaps he's pretending to be hero, huh?" One of the henchmen said, and they all laugh at him, but the man remain same.

"Hey… this guy's a foreigner…" One of the henchmen said.

Another henchman heard that, and he looked at Vincent with mockery face, ["Oooh… me no understand English… Can say Japanese?"] The henchman said in broken English.

Vincent ignores his mockery, "I ask one more time… let her go… or all of you will suffer pain…" Vincent asked again with serious threatening tone, which cause most of their backbones got shivered by Vincent's threatening aura.

"Tch… get him!" The boss got pissed and commanded his henchmen. All of his henchmen took out their weapons and attempts to attack him, or kill him.

"*Sigh* can't we settle this in peace?" Vincent said seeing those thugs are about to attack him.

The girl in shadow wanted to help that man but that man still standing there didn't move any inches, Vincent giving them a cold stare, one of the henchmen charged at him, then the others follows. They all attack him at the same time, but Vincent just simply dodged all the attacks, then he begin his counterattack, he grab one of the henchmen's arm that with weapon, and he twisted it clockwise in 180 degree, with a loud horror nasty crack sound and completely twisted the elbow's bone in misplace shape.

"AAAAHHHH!" The henchman screamed in pain loudly enough to wake the entire place up. The others got scared and feared by that.

For Vincent, he found something surprised him, 'Unbelievably weak… Much weaker than SOLDIER armies…' Vincent thought the moment he twisted the henchman's arm, '…I know that my strength has improved a lot… but…' However, despite one of the henchmen unable to fight anymore, they still charge at him, Vincent continues to twist their arms with weapon with same degree, all the henchmen lying on the ground while grabbing their twisted arm, they're crying for suffering major painful.

"MY ARM!"

"AAAHHH!"

"UGGHHH! MY ARM!"

"MOMMY! MY ARM!"

Vincent look at those henchmen on the ground there screaming in pain, he then stare at the boss with major killing intent, this caused the boss took out a knife from his waist and attempt to use Konoka as hostage, unfortunately for that boss, Vincent already in front of them and stopped the boss' arm with weapon, then the man say a word, "STOP", with one whispering echoing word that can force the boss's whole body got freeze and unable to move a single inches, nor talk. The citizen, even with the girl hiding in shadow, surprised by the sudden appear of that man appeared in front of that giant man, and the giant man didn't move a bit. Vincent felt something, then he glanced around his surrounding, and he immediately understands. 'I see… These peoples… and their reactions, they are normal peoples… they don't possess any special abilities at all, just, ordinary humans… That means I cannot use any magic recklessly, have to do something quickly.' Vincent thought as he analyzed quickly at the surrounding situation. Vincent then proceed to take away the knife from the boss and threw it away, and then he went to the girl and freed Konoka from him, "Are you alright?" Vincent asked with gentle tone, Konoka got blushed by seeing Vincent's face more clearly and she mentally nodded, she grab his hand and he pull her up and bringing her to safety area, leaving the boss alone there unmovable.

"I'm alright…" Konoka replied as she tries not to worrying him but the man already noticed her ankle was injured.

"Stay here." Vincent orders her to stay there while he walks toward to the boss standing there unmoving. "If you ever listen to me, none of this will happen… and since you injured that girl… you're going to lie down in few days…" The man said in serious threatening tone before he punch him and send that guy flying far away and crash on a car's front, and the car's front was completely smashed, all the tires got loose from the car, all the windows completely shattered, and the alarm goes alerting, leaving the boss unconscious.

"Wo-wow!" One of the spectators surprised seeing a giant man being sent away easily.

Vincent surprised by his own strength, even though he's holding back. 'This… wasn't what I expected. I was about to send him to the dustbin over there… didn't mean to send him over to that car… in fact, I was holding back my strength about half, and it still able to done this much?' Vincent thought before he understands why. 'I see… It must be the God's Abilities greatly enhanced my strength… it seems I need to learn how to hold back the strength even more… Wait… I remember Lady Cosmos said the belts have sealed 80% of my capabilities… and yet able to deal this much damage? I'm seriously needs to control my abilities.' Vincent sighed while examining his own hand, then, he looks around the situation, some of them got surprised by his strength, this makes the man realized something. 'I see… the people here are also not aware of this… both magic and inhuman strength… They aren't much known about this… I must restrain myself, to avoid any attention.' Vincent thought.

To Setsuna

Setsuna, the girl hiding in shadow is having a thought after she sees that man's fighting capabilities, she was surprised. 'Amazing… he was able to send that big guy flying 30 meters away from there… and I don't sense that he use any 'Magic' or 'Ki' to enhance his power… and just now how did he stop that man without using any 'Ki' or 'Magic' also?! Who in the world is he?' Setsuna thought. Vincent already noticed there was someone hiding in shadow, but he ignored it as he went to help Konoka.

"Can you walk?" Vincent asked.

"I… I think I can…" Konoka replied while trying to but failed, she losing her balance and about to fall but Vincent caught her by preventing her fall.

'…It's best for me not to use any magic in this world… even potion…' Vincent thought carefully before he precedes his actions. "It's best for you not to walk in this condition. Let me bandage your ankle… please sit down first." The man said as he brought down his backpack, he took out a disinfected bandage, and applies it on her ankle. When he done bandaging Konoka's injured ankle, he's putting those items into his backpack and says, "Alright, it's done, let me piggyback you home… Hm… I think I better carry you like this…" Vincent said before he carry her in bridal style, he want to give her a piggyback, but he's unable to, due to his backpack stuffed with a sword and a gun inside, any slightest mistake can lead to fatal. Konoka blushed from this and the girl in shadows surprised and blushed to see that. "Can you lead the way to your house? I'll carry you to your place." Vincent asked.

"Uhm…"

~FFXMSN~

Later

They both arrived at the apartment, Konoka was guiding him to her room, when they arrived and stopped in front of her apartment, Vincent put Konoka down gently, he knock the door to alert her roommates, her roommates opened the door and they both gasped at injured Konoka, one was a red haired kid, he was about 10 years old, and the other one was a twin-tailed orange haired girl, with bells as her hair accessories, her appearance was about 14 – 15 years old.

"Konoka-san! What happened to your leg?" The boy asked with serious worry tone.

"You! Did you do something to her!?" The orange haired girl demanded, but Konoka defend Vincent.

"Asuna-san! It wasn't his fault, actually he saved me just now…" Konoka yelled at Asuna.

"Can you two bring her inside and let her rest first?" Vincent requests both of them.

"O… Oh!" The boy hesitated respond. "Konoka-san, come and let us treat you!" The orange haired girl support Konoka to walk slowly. "Um… excuse me… Mr…" The boy asked.

"Vincent Valentine." Vincent replied.

"Mr. Valentine. Please come inside." The boy invites Vincent inside.

Inside Apartment

Konoka explained everything to her roommates and then the orange haired girl went to apologizes for her rudeness just now. "Thank you for helping our roommate Konoka-san. Mr. Valentine." The boy thanks Vincent.

"Not a problem." Vincent replied. "But you two shouldn't let an unarmed girl walk outside alone." Vincent warns them.

"Yeah… we kinda ashamed ourselves…" The orange haired girl said while scratching her head. "Sorry Konoka-chan, next time we will accompany you."

"It's alright Asuna-san." Konoka replied as she forgives.

The boy smiles before he realizes something, "Oh. Sorry for our rudeness, Mr. Valentine. Let us introduces ourselves, my name is Negi Springfield." The red haired boy introduces himself first, "They both are my roommates."

"I'm Kagurazaka Asuna." Seat number 8: The orange haired girl introduces herself.

"I'm Konoe Konoka~" Seat number 13: Konoka introduces herself.

Vincent bowed to them politely, and then he realized something. 'Strange… It's been a while that I can understand their language… even though this is my first time hearing this language since just now the hoodlums, and I am able to speak their language like them… it must be Lady Cosmos poke my forehead to insert some knowledge…' Vincent thought at the moment he realized this, then, he feels something inside Negi. 'And… this boy… I think I sense this boy… has energy flowing inside him… perhaps, the magic do exist in this world?' Vincent thought before he introduce himself, "Let me introduce myself again, I'm Vincent, Vincent Valentine." Vincent introduced himself. "And don't call me mister. I'm 21 years old and I'm still single, you all can address me Vincent." This caused they all surprised by him having a young age and deep hot voice.

"So young!?" Asuna exclaimed.

Later, someone knocking the door, Asuna went and opens it and it was an old man, she's been knocked down by an old man that suddenly rushed in and run toward Konoka, he hug her tightly as he cared her most, he had an oddly shaped head, with a long goatee and ponytail; he also had very thick eyebrows and wore Japanese priest robes.

"Konoka! Are you alright!?" The old man asked with major serious and concern tone, worried face, and crying.

"Grandpa, I'm alright~" Konoka replied with cheerful tone while the old man still hugging her.

"Konoka… you really made me worry a lot…" The old man said while still crying hysterically.

'He must be her grandfather… and the girl that hiding in shadow probably told him… and what eyebrows he had, somehow he reminds me of Bugenhagen.' Vincent thought. Later, the old man noticed there was another man in her room, and Konoka noticed and says.

"Ah, grandpa, this here is Vincent, Vincent Valentine, he's the one who saved me just now~" Konoka said in cheerful tone.

"Oh... Thank you for helping my granddaughter here…" The old man went to thanking Vincent while bowing.

"You don't have to bow to me… uhm…" Vincent replied without knowing his name.

"Call me Konoe, Konoe Konoemon." The old man replied.

"Oh, Mr Konoe, you don't have to bow to a stranger like me…" Vincent said in polite tone, then the old man have a thought when he secretly done examining Vincent in sight.

'Sakurazaki-kun was right… he isn't an ordinary person, must be a fighter type.' The old man thought, then he have an evil grin, and Vincent noticed that but he's remain as usual. First, the old man starts with a joke. "Say, Vincent-kun right? Do you have a girlfriend yet? What do you think of her?" The old man said his usual joke while pointing at Konoka, Vincent didn't show any expression for already knowing that the old man was just giving out a joke.

"Oh, grandpa~" Konoka said before she hit his grandfather's head with mini mallet.

"Alright, jokes aside… say, Vincent-kun, I would like to repay you somehow…" The old man shows his gratitude to Vincent, and then he got an idea for him. "Ah~ I got an available job at school, and it must be suitable for you." The old man said while stroking his long beard.

"Hm… You are the headmaster of some schools?" Vincent said without hesitate and this caused them surprised by his guessing. 'Strange… somehow... I understand what these [School] are, and [headmaster] is… it must be the knowledge the Lady Cosmos inserted into my mind.'

"Vincent-san, how did you know he's a headmaster? We didn't mention this to you." Negi asked.

"Guessing, that's all." Vincent replied. 'Well… he said he got available job at school, of course he's a headmaster…'

"My… Vincent-kun… you have a very nice guessing there… Yes, I am the headmaster, and the headmaster of Mahora Academy." The headmaster introduces himself. "Tonight you come to my office around 8 PM, Konoka, do you have the map? Let Vincent-kun here see the map of Mahora Academy and the map of Mahora Town."

"Alright grandpa~" Konoka replied and went to her drawer to bring out the school map and the town map and giving to Vincent to see it, and he instantly memorized the entire map, every single details, even the small details.

'Nice, a map for this area… Now where can I get a world map?' Vincent thought while seeing the map of this area, and then he looked back to old man. "Alright, and what kind of job this is that you're offering?" Vincent replied after he done seeing the map.

"I won't say at here, I will tell you in my office." The headmaster said before he gets up. "Konoka, take care and be careful, I leave first for I have to go to prepare something for Vincent-kun here." Konoka, Asuna and Negi nodded before he walks out of the apartment.

"Then I should take my leave too." Vincent said as he stood up, but Konoka stopped him and he look back at her.

"Ah, wait Vincent-san. Do you want to stay here to have dinner with us before you go?" Konoka asked with smile.

Vincent thinks for a moment, 'Hm… perhaps I can learn something in this world if I stay here with them…' and then Vincent nodded for OK. Konoka smiled and then she went to prepare the ingredients at the kitchen.

"Vincent-nii-san, take a sit, you can look around if you wanted to." Negi said as he started to address Vincent as nii-san (Big Brother). Vincent nodded as he put down his backpack leaning against the wall, while he look around the room, the room quite had enough space for three peoples to stay. While they are waiting for Konoka cooking, Negi started. "Say, Vincent-nii-san, where do you come from?" Negi asked.

'Nii…-san…?' Vincent thought as he has never heard that kind of honorific before. "…A town called Nibelheim in the mountain from Far East, a very isolated place…" Vincent replied. 'To be honest, I have long forgotten my hometown due to my 30 years of slumber in the coffin…'

(Note: I picked Nibelheim as his hometown, that's where the AVALANCHE found him in the basement, in Final Fantasy Wikipedia, his birthplace is still unknown)

Vincent noticed there are some textbooks and some paper marking on his desk, "Negi, you're their teacher?" Vincent asked.

"Yes, I'm their homeroom teacher, and also their English teacher as well." Negi replied.

"Amazing, to be this young already become their teacher… I must say, you're a child prodigy…" Vincent said, Negi scratch his head for hearing a compliment.

"Even though he's a prodigy, he's still a brat for me!" Asuna said with anger.

"Asuna-san…" Negi frowned.

"Why? Why are you so angry at your teacher here?" Vincent asked, and then Asuna has started to explain everything on previous days when Negi arrived at the Mahora Academy at the first day and become a teacher, Asuna and Konoka surprised by a kid become their teacher, and the entire class also got surprised and excited too, and some students are not even surprise, Asuna still angry about Negi accidently blow away her school uniform, not just one time, by many times. Vincent chuckled at what she said, and try to cheer her down by saying, "It's not what he wanted actually, beside, he's still ten..." then, she continues at the volleyball part, when her class 2/3-A have a match against the high school girls with the volleyball, but become a dodge ball match.

"Why suddenly become a dodge ball?" Vincent asked, yet again he realized something. 'Yeah… yet again, I understand what these [Volleyball] and [Dodge Ball] are…' Vincent thought wondering why the volleyball suddenly becomes dodge ball.

Asuna sighed before replies. The senior changed the game play, from the volleyball to the dodge ball, but still using volley ball and a net. The team who wins the match will have Negi to be their teacher, if the 2/3-A wins, they can keep their Negi-sensei, and if they lose, they will lose their Negi-sensei, the entire 2/3-A class joined, some are not participating because they are not interested, twenty-two girls fight against eleven high school girls. Unfortunately, it gives the 2/3-A class girls are in major disadvantage, because it gives the high school girls can easily hit any girls, and luckily at the end, they won by Negi-sensei send an enhanced volley ball toward to the high school girls, ripping their clothes becoming Sakura leaves, and revealing their garments.

Vincent caught some keywords, 'So magic does exist in this world… and Negi's probably using the Wind elements magic. But, I don't quite understand their kind of magic of this world…' Vincent thought that he don't know the magic can causes the girls' clothes being ripped apart and become Sakura leaves. "Any more that I can hear?" Vincent asked for more stories.

The next story is about a group with two teams, one is Library Adventure Club, with the other called Baka (Idiot) Rangers, along with Konoka and Negi with them. Vincent got confused at the name 'Baka Rangers', their objectives is to find a 'legendary book'; whoever touch the book will become smart, this caused Vincent caught an interesting by the word 'legendary'.

'Legendary huh…?' Vincent thought.

When they found the book inside the library forest, along with two giant statues, Negi mentioned the book is a 'Legendary Book of Merkisedek', it's a magical text of the highest level, whoever read or touch will become smart, when they approach to the book, they triggered a trap which lead them to a Twister, and the two giant statues moved sudden, however, they didn't attack, instead, they gives questions and they have to answers all the questions by using the Twister on below them, when they reach the final question, however, Asuna and her friend Makie, accidently chose the wrong one, and one of the statues break the Twister below them, and they all fall, including one of the statues. They found themselves in some kind of underground forest called 'Deep Library', then they spent their time to study for their exam are around the corner, and if Negi's 2/3-A class are not place at the last place, Negi will officially become the Mahora teacher. Then one of the statues appeared and attack them by grabbing Makie, however, the Baka Rangers are able to save Makie from the moving statue, and Makie use her aerobic skill to grab the 'Legendary Book' on its shoulder. When they found a door that lead to the surface, they keep on going up, however, many walls with questions are blocking them, and need to answer correct to open the wall, and when they arrived at the elevator, they thought they all save from the statue chasing them, however, the elevator shows the sign of overloaded and cannot lift them all, the girls had to undress themselves except their garments. Negi had no choice to step out from the elevator to letting the girls escape, however, Asuna grabbed Negi and bring him back inside the elevator, then she sacrificed the book by throwing it to the statue, causing the statue fall down to the ground floor, then they all able to escape and arrived back to the class to take exam, and in the end, the 2/3-A able to achieve number 1 top class.

"Congratulation for achieve number 1 top class for you all." Vincent congratulates them.

"Ah, thanks…" Asuna replied with embarrassed for being complimented.

"Why, thank you Vincent-nii-san." Negi replied.

"And…" Vincent adds on.

"?" Negi and Asuna confused.

"I believe you both are hiding something that shouldn't tell others… right?" Vincent said, and they both of them surprised as well.

"How did Vincent-san know us hiding something?" Asuna whispers to Negi.

"I… I don't know… it's like he can see through us!" Negi whispers back. "I think we spoke too much."

"So, can you use your memory erasing magic onto him?" Asuna whispered for suggestion.

"…I can't, Konoka-san here as well, I cannot risk!" Negi whispered back.

Then Asuna and Negi had no choice but to explain in low volume tone, and start to explain in short, they start at a vampire girl in ten years old body started to create troubles in midnight, the troublemaker name is Evangeline, also a student from 3-A class, by hurting and mind controlling some of the her classmate, and, in order to stop the vampire girl from hurting the girls, Asuna become Negi's partner to stop the vampire girl, and won the match. However, the vampire girl didn't go all out to Negi.

Vincent caught some keywords, 'Judging by their explanation and their tones, this little 'vampire' incident happened not long ago, probably few days ago…' Vincent thought. "I see, good job for stopping that vampire girl, and… there's one person assisting you two, and that person already went out somewhere, am I right?" Vincent guessing and hit on the mark, and also, shocking both of them again.

'How did he know that? We didn't even mention Chamo!' Asuna thought nervously.

'Is he reading mind? Who is he?' Negi thought nervously as well.

And then they all were called by Konoka. "Foods ready~!" Konoka yelled.

"Alright!" Negi and Asuna quickly replied to avoid Vincent's question, Vincent knew this and sigh to ignore his question.

'Perhaps I overact a bit…' Vincent thought. 'Have to spare them sometimes…' Asuna went to help Konoka to bring over the foods, while Negi prepare the utensil for eat. They all joined and eat together, "Hm. This is very good." Vincent commented as he ate one of the dishes, and he felt nostalgic. 'Kinda reminds me of Tifa's cooking…'

"Oh thank you, Vincent-kun~" Konoka replied.

"And I must say… you'll make a good wife one day." Vincent adds on.

"Oh~ Vincent-kun~" Konoka replied while trying to hit on Vincent's head with mini mallet, and Vincent caught her mini mallet attack with chopsticks, and somehow Asuna got a bit of jealous.

After they have finished eating, Vincent brings all the plates and utensil to kitchen and Konoka wash it, and Asuna are helping Konoka too, leaving the boys doing their things. When they done, they all went back to living room, then Vincent's eyes caught a sight, there's a book called 'Kyoto Book' on top of desk.

"Kyoto…?" Vincent muttered, which Negi heard.

"Oh yeah, Vincent-nii-san, on next few days, we all have a trip to a city called Kyoto." Negi said.

"What is that place?" Vincent asked.

"Oh yeah, Vincent-kun is not from here, and he's from isolated place, which he don't know about this." Konoka said.

"Kyoto is a Japan's ancient capital, its located at the west of Tokyo. It's a famous Japanese city." Negi replied.

"Oh… I see." Was only Vincent could say, he's still don't know what this [Tokyo] and [Japan] are. But, when Vincent look at the time was almost 8 PM, he gets up from his seat and getting his backpack to his back. 'I have to research about those places.' Vincent thought before he looked back. "Negi, Asuna, and Konoka, it's time for me to leave and see headmaster for this 'job'." Vincent told them.

"Be careful out there, Vincent-nii-san, at night it's not safe." Negi warns him.

"Don't get lost like Negi here." Asuna teases.

"Be careful Vincent-kun." Konoka said in slightly concern tone, she was hoping for Vincent stay a little longer.

"Don't worry you all, I have memorized the entire school map." Vincent said with smile while pointing his head. "Thank you for your hospitality, and I will see you guys one day." Vincent politely thanking them before he went out and the others wave at him.

'Negi Springfield: A young teacher and a mage in training, he has a lot of potential that can be unlocks through training.'

'Kagurazaka Asuna: Cheerful girl and a beginner fighter, and there's something off with her… Like there's something special about her, I can't tell why…'

'Konoe Konoka: Cheerful and harmless innocent girl, I can sense a hidden power inside her…'

"It's night…" Vincent said as he looked up at the dark night sky. Vincent was walking toward the Mahora Academy by seeing the town map, and he already noticed someone was spying him, and he decided not to bother with, as long the person does not gives him any threat.

~FFXMSN~

Mahora Academy

Shortly afterward, he arrived in front of Mahora Academy, "This must be the [Mahora Academy] that the headmaster wants me to be arriving here. I must say… quite a nice structure they built…" Vincent commented as he look at the structures of the academy, then he switched it to Mahora Academy map, he walk toward to the entrance and open the door that already unlocked to walk inside, he sees the inside has a huge space and has amazing architecture, "Quite old, but nicely built and designed architecture… I wonder how long this Academy has been built." Vincent muttered while walking toward the headmaster's office following the map as he has been told to. When he stopped in front of the door of the headmaster's office, he sensed there are two presences inside the office, he walk closely to the door to hear closer, 'Headmaster, and a voice of a girl. Better don't enter first.' it was a young female voice, with an English accent and an angry tone, he lean against the wall, crossing his arms and secretly hear what conversation they discussing.

Inside the office

The headmaster was talking to a long yellow haired little girl; she was short by a lot of standards. If one were to guess how old she was just by her height they would guess she was around ten years old. On her body was a school uniform. White button up shirt/blouse, red vest and red and black (Goth Lolita), she had long blond hair and green eyes. Her face was set in a nasty scowl at the moment as she sent a very cold glare at the Headmaster of the school. The old man started to talk. "You know Evangeline… That was a little harsh what you did to Negi-kun before…"

"Shut it old man, this is none of your business." Seat number 26: Evangeline A.K. McDowell, The long yellow haired girl replied back with slightly angry tone.

'Evangeline… Negi and Asuna mentioned this name before… so she must be the vampire little girl that caused the problem before, and always hated Negi's father…' Vincent thought.

"But Evangeline, you took control of four of your classmates and nearly killed one of them, not only by that, you almost killed your teacher, and you almost died by yourself you know… if Negi didn't come and save you from falling…" Konoemon said aloud but his voice started to portray one of amusement.

"I said shut it old man! I still can't believe this! As I!The Great Evangeline A.K. McDowell! The Dark Evangel! The Doll Master! The Maga Nosferatu and The Queen of the Night, has been beaten! By that little brat and his orange gorilla sidekick! He even had the gall to make me go back to class! I swear one day I'll get him back for this once my power's back, I'll suck his blood till dry!" Evangeline finished and huffed. This caused the headmaster to chuckle and make her glare at him. "Damn him and his father as well!"

'Orange gorilla…? Is she meant Asuna?' Vincent thought.

"*Sigh*… But it's good to hear that you're getting along well with Negi-kun. After all you still have a whole year with him." The headmaster said, and this gives Evangeline a tick mark on her forehead for have to bear another year. "Evangeline, you are unable to go with 3-A class trip due to the sealing, if you are able with them, then I don't have to worry about. Problem is… You can't go with them to look after them… I need someone reliable person to help Negi-kun to protect the 3-A class, especially my granddaughter, Konoha… Ah… my dear sweet Konoka~" The headmaster keep muttering while having manly tears.

"Hmph. Just shut it old man, I'm pretty sure that brat will able to handle this, if he's not, he'll die for sure." Evangeline tell the headmaster to keep quiet, but the headmaster smirked, and this caused Evangeline know that the old man had something else. "Alright, it seems you're hiding something from me. Spit it out!" Evangeline demanded angrily.

"Well, to be honest, today I have just found a reliable person that can help protect Negi-kun and the girls from any harm." The headmaster said. "I see that person had a great potential and strong enough to protect them from thugs, my granddaughter already had an interest in him. All I have to do is to tell him something that normal people cannot learn about this, he's seems like trustworthy person." The headmaster continues.

"Oh? Who's this person going to protect them all?" Evangeline asked as she got interested.

"Nope~ I won't tell you until the person arrive here." The headmaster replied with slightly mockery tone, this makes Evangeline growled at this statement. As she was about to retort, Vincent begin to knock the door to stop Evangeline's rage, and Evangeline got startled by the knock sudden. "Oh, that must be him, right at the time." The headmaster said as he looked at the clock.

"What? Who's 'him'? The [reliable person] you mentioned about just now?" Evangeline asked angrily. 'I didn't sense a presence coming at this close!'

"Come in, the door's unlock." The headmaster yelled at the door, the door opened, Evangeline look at the door, seeing a person entered and her rage has been replaced to a blush on her cheek when she sees Vincent's handsome face, standing there frozen while keep staring at him, as Vincent look at Evangeline, her blush went deeper and started to drool. Vincent politely slightly bow at her, this caused her even more drooling, and the headmaster raised his eyebrow as he got a rare sight of seeing Evangeline like this.

'My god… he has a better looking than that idiot Nagi… and… tall…' Eva thought dreamily.

"Ah Vincent Valentine-kun, you arrived at the exactly right time, seems like you are a punctual person." The headmaster said as he looked at the clock.

'Vincent Valentine… Such a charming name…' Eva thought dreamily again.

"Yes, I was told to be here at exactly 8 PM." Vincent replied. "So, what's this 'job' you're letting me hear?" Vincent asked.

'His voice is so deep and hot too…' Eva thought dreamily yet again. 'How manly…'

"Before I tell you, first, let me introduce her to you, this little girl here is Evangeline A.K. McDowell." The headmaster introduced the drooling girl to Vincent and the girl instantly snapped from drooling for being called the 'little girl'.

"Who'd you calling 'little girl' ah!?" Evangeline got a tick mark and quickly grabbed headmaster's neck and shaking it. Vincent totally not understands what situation was going on right now, she let go of the grip, and then turn to Vincent, with blush. "Vincent Valentine, right? I will keep my eye on you~ soon… You will become my perfect slave…" As Evangeline finished her speech, she left the office. Vincent wasn't surprised by the little girl's words, because he actually knew that Evangeline was not a 'little girl'.

'Her… slave…? What does she mean by that?' Vincent thought confusingly.

When the headmaster felt that Evangeline has left the academy, the headmaster started a serious conversation, "It seems I found a right man, and that's you, Vincent-kun." The headmaster's tone also changed.

"Then let's get back to the subject. What kind of job you're offering?" Vincent asked when he noticed the headmaster's tone changed.

"Before that, let me tell you something secret," The headmaster said, "I ask you, do you believe the…"

'They both didn't notice that I eavesdrops their conversation just now…' Vincent thought. "You want to tell me that the magic are existed in this world, right?" Was Vincent what able to figure out what headmaster wanted to say, this caused the headmaster totally surprised.

"Wha!? How did you…?" The headmaster shocked.

"I eavesdrops the conversation between you and that girl called Evangeline just now, something about vampire stuffs incident that happened few days ago before I arrived in this town, pretty sure something supernatural happened, and it related to magic, obviously. Plus some more, I sensed there's some strong energy flowing inside you and Negi's body, especially Evangeline just now, and it's gave me a good conclusion, the magic does existed in this world, am I correct?" Vincent explains, and this totally stunned the headmaster with surprise.

"…Vincent-kun, you're really an unpredictable person… and well intelligent too. But I can't even detect any magic from you… Who are you really? Are you a mage like us?" Headmaster asked curiously.

'…I got no problem telling headmaster my task here.' Vincent thought as he completely trusted the headmaster. "No, I'm not a mage, and to be more accurate, I'm not from this world." Vincent said, and headmaster surprised once again.

"Wha? What do you mean, not from this world? Oh, you mean you're from the inner world that is Mundus Magicus?" Headmaster asked as he confused.

"Hm? No, I'm not come from that world of what you called 'Mundus Magicus', and I don't even know that world… what I meant is, I'm come from another dimension, and I bet you don't know that, right?" Vincent re-corrects the statement, and this surprised Headmaster.

"Another dimension? Well, this is the first time I heard about this. I'm afraid I don't know..." Headmaster was totally surprised by a person from another world that he didn't have any info. "So, Vincent-kun, why did you come to this world?"

"Hm… I'm here to retrieve one of the three missing crystals that has been scattered into three worlds, and one of them is in this world, and I believe that the crystal lies somewhere in this world." Vincent replied.

"Crystals?" The headmaster confused.

"Yes, each crystal imprisoned a great monster, I have been given a task to retrieve those back before someone try to break free those monsters inside the crystals. And if the monster manages to escape, the world which the monster is will be turn into hell." Vincent explained with cold and serious tone.

"What?" This gives the headmaster shocked. "A powerful monster…? Existed? How strong is this monster?"

"That…" Vincent uncertain, "I do not know yet, this is my first time having this kind of great task, and also this world is where the first crystal landed." Vincent replied, "I don't know why and how those crystals were scattered to other worlds at the first place, and that is why I've been sent here to retrieve those, or destroy them if I must. But don't worry, the monsters aren't awaken yet, and they are unable to free themselves from the crystals without any helps from outside, plus the crystal itself hid their own presences well, and its crystals possess very high resistance to withstands any physical and magical attacks, that is what I have known. So finding the crystals with their own presences shrouded very well is nearly impossible, even for me as well, so it will takes some long time to find them." Vincent said to ease the headmaster's worries.

"I see… hopefully you can able to find it before the enemies does." The headmaster relieved.

"Do not worry, following by my instinct, I will track down the crystal and retrieve it. Once I've find those crystals, I will retrieve and send those back to where those should belongs, and if the worse thing happens, I'll have to destroy them." Vincent continues, "Headmaster, let's keep this as a secret between you, and me, alright?" Vincent asked.

"I will keep this as a secret." Headmaster replied.

"Alright then, so, what kind of this 'job' you're going to tell me, is it related to any 'magic' things, or threats?" Vincent changed the subject.

The headmaster snapped out from his thought. "Ah! Ah! Yes, and let's just say, this job is very suitable for you, you will become Negi's assistant teacher, and I need you to protect the 3-A class. However, this 3-A class is not ordinary like other classes, many teachers who are assigned to that class, they're unable to maintain that class and quickly resigned. Right now their current homeroom teacher is Negi-kun, and this is not for a normal person to hear, some of them are magically aware and tend to get into trouble, and some of them already know the existence of magic. So, I want you to guard them with all cost. On few days later, they will have a trip to Kyoto, and I have gave this special task to Negi-kun here is to send the letter to the Kansai Magic Association headquarter there, all you need to do is to protect them, and you don't have to tell them you are protecting them, you can do it from the shadows, or whatever that might help you out. I'll need your word on this Vincent. My granddaughter is in that class and I want her to be safe and sound, and also Negi-kun, I want you to protect Negi-kun also, and he's the son of my comrade, which is Thousand Master. Do I have your word Vincent?" The headmaster has done stating the task given by headmaster.

Vincent noticed at the headmaster's tone for suddenly become the serious mode. 'The headmaster's speech seems serious and he speaks the truth, Kyoto huh…? I should check that place first… See if the crystal might lie in that place.' Vincent thought. 'But… To send Negi to their enemy's base, alone?' Vincent continues thought with curiosity. "Before I give you my answer, let me ask few questions first, why are you sending a 10 year old boy there? Isn't this task is a bit too dangerous and too young for him to perform? And what is the relationship between you and this [Kansai] Magic Association is?" Vincent asked.

"Do not worry about Negi-kun, Negi-kun here is a young mage in training, and also the prodigy here too, hid a lot of potential, but still lacking experience, and that is why I gave him this task is to help him improve and learn the experience of real battle. Plus Negi-kun here is a good candidate to take this task. And for the relationship, I am the director of the Kantou Magic Association, the Kantou and Kansai Magic Association has had a shaky relationship for a long time, now… if I were to send in a teacher, who was also a mage, they would undoubtedly voice their disapproval. The reason I send Negi-kun here as a special envoy, is to stop the feud with the mages in the west by pass the letter that I have gave to Negi-kun to their leader. Vincent-kun, I hope you understand my motive of this." The headmaster replied.

"You're hiding something." Vincent stated, surprise the headmaster. "But, I understand your motives, and your explanation. Alright, I'll accept this job. I will protect them from any harm, no matter what, because this mission somehow will link me to the crystal. Leave the crystal worry aside. Tell me all the details of this mission, and this 'Thousand Master' person, and when can I start?" Vincent agreed and asked.

"I'm expected this from you, how about 2 days from now? Because tomorrow is Sunday, so there will be no school activities. And I don't need to tell you info about this mission, and Thousand Master, you will learn if you travel with them." The headmaster said.

"I see, fine for me, and that means that I have to find a place to stay temporary." Vincent agreed and said.

"Oh, I can help with that." Headmaster said, he took out a map from his drawer and handed it to Vincent. "Here, this is the place you can stay." he said while pointing a small 'X' in the forest near the Academy on the map. "It also has the training place, if you like it. Give this note to the owner to explain what will happen. For money, take this much." He takes a couple of thousand yens from his pocket and a note from the top of his desk. "You can pay me back when you start your job on Monday." The headmaster said.

"…" Vincent remains silent, he moves his hand to headmaster's hand with cash, and closes his hand. "I am in debt of you, headmaster. But, I do not need money." Vincent said as he rejects the money offered with polite tone while bow down and took the letter, after that, he open and see the map of the place and memorized it.

"Oh yeah, don't you need a guide?" Headmaster reminds Vincent and Vincent shook his head.

"Thanks for the offer; I would like to watch the town for more by myself." Vincent said before leave, then, he stopped sudden and turn around, "Oh yeah, do you have any library?"

"Oh, the library? Well, you just turn around from here, straight go, and you will reach there by your left side." Headmaster replied as he shows the school map to him and points the destination.

"Thank you." Vincent thanked before he walks out.

Vincent then walked out of the office. The headmaster had and all knowing smile, as he swiveled his chair around to look at the sky of the night, filled with stars. 'Vincent Valentine, he's really interesting and very unpredictable… Just now I surprised that he instantly knew my relationship with the Kansai Magic Association. And now, I wonder how Evangeline will react when she see her new roommate, hohoho.' The headmaster thought. 'And somehow… I have a feeling that this man… can help Negi-kun… it's like an angel descend from the heaven to guide Negi-kun…'

Inside the Academy - Library

Vincent walking toward to the library through the quiet and empty hallway, once he arrived and entered the library.

'In order to find the crystal, I need helps from people of this world, and I have to adapt to this world as well. And in order for me to begin to adapt to this world, I have to help the ones who needs my helps, such as Negi, and Headmaster, and the girls as Headmaster mentioned before.' Vincent thought as he began to search some necessary books in order to learn everything in this current world he is now.

'So… they are many different kinds of currency in this world… not only that, they are many countries as well, as well the languages also. Right now this language here represents of Japan, so I'm in a country called Japan… one of the very famous countries in this world. Currency in this country is called Yen, and I think 100 yen is equal to 1 Gil (Final Fantasy Currency). I had no planning to go oversea, unless the crystal is over there, if I find no crystal in this country, I will try search for the other countries. Negi and other girls mentioned that he and his students are going to a place called Kyoto or something. He said it's a famous Japanese city. Let me have some times to read other necessary info.'

Few minutes later

Vincent has learned a lot of necessary information of this country which he is standing now, and now he's learning about the laws.

'I see… Killing people is a serious crime and against the law in this world, so this means I have to hold back my capabilities… Guess I won't be able to kill any enemies.' Vincent has learned all the necessary information in this world that he required if he's going to stay in this world longer than need to complete his mission. 'Alright, time for me to head this mark in the map that headmaster gave me. But first, let me return the books to where it belongs to.' And so, Vincent left the library and head to the mark.
