Chapter 1: The Mage

There was a morning assembly at North High, why? Because the art teacher quit. For some reason there was a gigantic school wide shuffle. Mr. Takahata, who was English Teacher became the new Art Teacher and his replacement would come later that day. Kyon had the feeling they didn't want to show the new teach at the assembly. That wasn't the only thing, the new teacher would switch homerooms with Okabe, meaning that this new teacher would be the homeroom teacher to Haruhi and Kyon's class.

Before class started Haruhi talked to Kyon.

"Isn't it weird that they wouldn't show the new teacher?" asked Haruhi.

"Maybe he was running late." Said Kyon.

"No there has to be a reason why they would show him… maybe he's from Britain, or someone famous… or even a kid!" said Haruhi.

"I doubt they would hire a kid, I mean wouldn't be breaking several child labor laws." Said Kyon.

That was when the door opened… it looked like a small Caucasian red haired boy wearing small glasses and a nice green suit.

"Hello." Said the boy in Japanese, but he had a British accent, "I'm your new teacher Mr. Springfield, does anyone have questions?"

"Where are you from?" asked a girl.

"Oh, I'm from Wales." Explained Mr. Springfield.

"How old are you?" asked Haruhi.

"I'm 9 and ¾." answered Mr. Springfield.

Everyone class was shocked, that just wasn't possible. That was when Mr. Takahata came into the room, he was a man who looked to be in his late thirties.

"Is everything all right Negi?" asked Mr. Takahata obviously coming into the check up on the new teacher.

"Mr. Takahata! Is everything what he said true?" asked Taniguchi, "He's really 9?"

"Yes, he's not even 10 and he has his teaching degree." Explained Mr. Takahata, "He might be young but he is a genius."

"Great… a genius kid 9 year old from Britain." Thought Kyon who could feel Haruhi's existent behind him, "Looks like Haruhi found her faculty adviser."

After school, Kyon and Itsuki were playing chess, Yuki read while Mikuru served tea. They all knew what Haruhi was doing, trying to convince Mr. Springfield to become the new faculty adviser.

"So do you think Mr. Springfield will become the new Faculty Adviser?" asked Itsuki.

"I don't know. He's smart." Said Kyon, "He might not buy it."

That was when Haruhi slammed the door open, "Good News everyone!"

"What is it?" asked Mikuru.

"I finally found the faculty adviser." Said Haruhi dragging in Mr. Springfield.

"It's nice to be your faculty adviser." Said Negi with a bow.

Kyon didn't know how to react.

"With him, the Student Council will have to accept us!" cheered Haruhi.

"Mr. Springfield." Said Kyon.

"Oh, since we're not in class you can call me Negi." Said Mr. Springfield, er… Negi.

"He is younger than us after all." Said Itsuki.

"Thank you captain Obvious." Thought Kyon.

Kyon rebreed the question, "Why did you deicide to be faculty adviser?" he managed to ask.

"Actually." Said Negi, "I heard about this club from Takamichi and mentioned it needed one and when Haruhi asked me I accepted."

"You and Mr. Takahata seem close." Said Haruhi.

Negi nodded and looked at the brigade leader. "He was an old friend of my father's." he said.

"That's weird… why would Mr. Takahata want him to be out faculty adviser." Thought Kyon.

And so Haruhi began to explain the goals of the S.O.S. Brigade, find the super natural whether it would be "Alien, Time Traveler, ESPer, Slider, Mage, Shinigami or Ninja." Explained Haruhi.

"Great… she added those three." Thought Kyon.

"That sounds like such a fun club." Said Negi cheerfully.

"I guess even geniuses can be gullible." Thought Kyon as he looked at the new teacher.

And with Negi there Haruhi managed to get Negi sign off on all the papers involving the club.

Sometime after school Kyon was walking to the bike parking lot.

"Kyon!" he heard someone call him.

He turned to see it was Negi.

"What is it?" asked Kyon, that was when he noticed Negi was carrying a strange wrapped up wooden staff, "And why is he carrying that?" he thought.

"There's something I have to show you." Said Negi.

Negi led Kyon to a grove. Negi took the staff he was carrying which some how unwrapped itself. Negi began to recite something in a strange language, it caused lighting to come out of his staff, needless to say Kyon was surprised.

"How… how did you do that?" he asked.

"Well you see." Said Negi, "I'm a mage."

Kyon having had to deal with a Alien, Time Traveler and an ESPer could easily believe that the little kid was a mage.

"Let me guess you're here to obverse Haruhi after something happened three years ago, right?" asked Kyon.

"You're right." Said a voice behind them.

Kyon turned around and saw Mr. Takahata.

"You're a Mage too?" asked Kyon.

Mr. Takahata laughed, "Not really, but I did travel with some back in the day." He said, "But yes, I know all about Magic and the truth about the S.O.S. Brigade."

"So you brought in Negi to be the Facility Advisor." Said Kyon.

"You're half right. I did offer a while back to be the Facility advisor, however Haruhi declined hoping for someone more interesting. However Negi becoming one has nothing to do with me." Explained Mr. Takahata.

"It's a long story, but…" said Negi, "You see in order to become Magister Magi… well… a high ranking Mage, I have to obverse Haruhi."

"What?" asked Kyon confused.

"You see when I was graduating the Magic Academy…" said Negi.

Kyon had a certain look on his face… a look that both Negi and Takahata knew what he was thinking. Hogwarts.

"It's not like that…" Said Negi.

"I hope not." Said Kyon.

"You see, the job of Observing Haruhi is the only way I can become a Magister Magi." Explained Negi.

"I guess I could believe that." Said Kyon, "So what happened three years ago?"

"A surge of magic unlike any other. Since then many Mages from both the west and the eat have been watching Haruhi." Explained Mr. Takahata.

"Why do I have the strange feeling that I'm going to hear the surge explanation a couple more times." Thought Kyon, he then remember something, "Have you talked to the others yet?"

The two nodded, making Kyon sigh.

"So is that it?" he asked.

"That's it for now." Said Negi, "I'll see you in class tomorrow."

Kyon managed to get home to find his sister.

"Oh Kyon, you're home." Said his sister happily.

It was then that he got a humbling thought, his sister was older than his new home teacher.

"When Haruhi's involved I guess child teachers are normal." He thought with a sigh.

Next time: There's a new girl in class, and she's very strange, she keeps using words like "Golly" and "Gee Whiz", and what more she's too polite. However she's holding a secret, a deathly one. What is it? Find out next time!
