CardShark Of Mahora
As James entered the room, he was met with the stares of three of the four occupants.
"Uh...hello. Are you Konoemon Konoe, the Dean of this school?" He questioned.
"Yes I am, I presume you are James then?" he responded.
"That would be me alright. You said that you may have a job for me right? Is it still open?" He asked hopefully.
The Dean nodded. "Yes it is." He turned to face Negi. "Negi this will be your assistant, James Ricochet." he said as James looked at him in shock.
"Wait, Wait, Wait, this kid is a teacher?! He barely looks Ten!" He shouted disbelievingly.
"Y...yes I am, it's nice to meet you James-san." Negi said.
James just decided to put this conversation in the 'be confused about later' part of his mind before he answered Negi. "you too kid, I hope working with you will be at least slightly fun." Oh he had no idea.
"Now, back to what I was saying before: you must gain some practical experience Negi-kun." The Dean said. "Let's make it from today to March..." he then paused and looked to be thinking about something. "By the way, Negi-kun, James-kun, Do you two have Girl-friends yet?" he then pointed at the long brown haired girl standing next to Asuna.
"What do you think of her? She's my Grand-daughter, Konoka."
"Oh Grandpa!" Konoka Said with a smile, as she pulled a small hammer out of who knows where and bonked him on the head.
"Wha..." James and Negi started before they were interrupted by Asuna.
"Just wait a minute, please!" She shouted as she slamed her hands down onto the desk. "I...isn't it odd that a kid is doing the job of a teacher?!" She said as James nodded in agreement, though no one noticed. "And our home-room teacher, too!" Alas she was ignored.
"Negi-kun..." The Dean started as if Asuna didn't just shout at his face. "This job will probably be very difficult" he said as he opened one eye. "If it's too hard for you, you will have to return home. There are no second chances. Are you prepared to accept that?"
"Y...yes! I'll do it!" Negi said. "Please let me try!"
"And you James-kun, that goes for you too, Help Negi-kun with this job to the best of your ability, for if he fails, you... will be fired. Understood?" the Dean suddenly said as he turned to face James.
"Sure, Boss whatever you say." James said with a smile as he shuffled his deck of cards.
This made Konoka blink. "Where did you get those from James-Sensei?" She asked as she never saw him reach into a pocket to grab them, and she was standing right next to him!
James chuckled. "Heh they were in my hand the entire time Konoka-San." He lied. "Also there's no need for the 'Sensei' bit when I'm not teaching you Konoka. You can call me 'San' or 'Kun' when we're out of class" he said.
"Ah... ok James-San." She said, slightly embarrassed about not seeing the cards.
"Hmm... then it's settled." The dean finally said. "Well then, let's begin today. Let me introduce you two to our staff guidance officer, Shizuna-Sensei."
"Shizuna-Kun!" He called.
"Yes?" answered a feminine voice from outside the door.
Negi was a bit surprised by this so he turned around...right into a pair of large breasts.
"Mmf?!" Cried a muffled Negi.
'Lucky kid.' Thought a slightly jealous James.
Shizuna was a beautiful woman in her late 20's early 30's with long blonde hair. She was wearing glasses and lipstick, a pair of earrings and a necklace. She had on long sleeved shirt, a skirt that reached to just above her ankles and a pair of high heels. She also carried a black folder in her left hand.
"Wah...?" Negi mumbled as he look up from her impressive bust.
"Ah sorry about that." She said, smiling.
"If there's anything you don't understand, you should ask her." The Dean said.
"Nice to meat you." Shizuna said. She then turned towards James. "Nice to meet you as well"
"Hi." He said simply
The Dean then looked like he remembered something. "Oh, and one more thing..."He started. "Konoka, Asuna-Chan, can Negi-Kun stay in your room for a while? We haven't decided where he's going to stay yet."
Asuna and Negi let off sounds of surprise. But Konoka...
"Sounds good" She said cheerfully.
"What?! From when until when, Principal-Sensei?!" Asuna shouted, not hearing Konoka.
"Don't you feel sorry for him Asuna-Chan?" Konoka said, appearing right next to Negi.
Asuna's eyebrow twitched. "I told you, I hate kids!" She shouted again.
The dean was about to say something when James spoke up.
"Uh...boss? Negi may have a place to stay, but what about me? I highly doubt that a small dorm room can house 4 people at once"
Konoemon nodded at this "Yes I know and I've already made the arrangements for you to stay with someone else in their dorm room. Apparently she knows you fairly well too." He said as he handed James directions to the room he will be staying in.
"Wait a second!" Asuna suddenly shouted as she pointed at James. "A ten year old I can understand living with one of the girls here. But HIM? He doesn't look any older than us, despite his freaky height. He could be a mega pervert for all we know!"
James, offended by that, just replied with a glare, which was ignored.
The dean just looked amused.
Later
Negi and Asuna were walking down a hall. Refusing to look at each other. With Konoka, Shizuna and James following right behind them.
'There's definitely something odd about these guys' Asuna thought looking at James, who was once again shuffling a deck of cards, wearing a black suit. Where he got it, she didn't know.
Asuna then took a look at Negi, who noticed the glare he was being given and was about to speak up about it but Asuna interrupted him.
"I refuse to live together with someone like you!" She said. "Go camp outside with a sleeping bag or something!" she then turned to James. "And you! If I hear about any you being a pervert to the girl you're supposed to be living with, you won't live to see the next day!" she threatened. "I'm going ahead! See you later, Sensei's!" Spitting out Sensei's like it left a bad taste in her mouth. She then stomped off Konoka following, trying to calm her down.
"What's with her?" Asked Negi.
"No idea kid." Said James
"Uhhh... that girl is always...rowdy, but she's really a nice person." Shizuna tried to explain
James snorted 'Yeah I'll believe that when I see it' he thought
Shizuna suddenly stopped walking, prompting the two young teachers to do the same.
"Oh I almost forgot." She said "Here, take the class roll."
"Ah thank you." Negi said as he took the black folder.
"Will you two be ok as teachers, Negi-Kun? James-Kun?" She asked.
"Ah...uh...I...I'm a bit nervous..." Negi said
"I'm good, the kid won't fail with me around" James said with a smirk.
Negi's eyebrow twitched slightly "James-San my name is Negi, not kid, please use it" he said.
James' just smirked more. "Sure kid, sure" he replied.

"Here we are. This is your class." Shizuna said as they arrived at a door.
Negi and James both looked through the window to classroom to see who they would be teaching.
It was filled with teenage girls, all talking and chattering, one was even selling what looked to be meat buns.
'These...are the people I will be teaching from now on huh?' Negi thought.
'Wow that's a lot of girls...and is that a robot?' Thought James.
"Ah, the class roll!" Realized Negi, as he opened said object. "Geh, there are so many" he said.
James had leaned over to look at the names of his students so he could memorize them. And he did so. Most of them were Cute or beautiful in his opinion, even Ako, the girl he ran into was there Strange coincidence. But he stopped at one, particular name.
'What the hell?!' He thought as he stared at the picture in shock. 'What's she doing here?'

Author's notes
Yep, my first Cliff hanger, not a very good one I'll admit but a cliff hanger none the less.
Now, I Will be starting a Poll soon, this will decide some of the harem for James at least. So if you want a girl of your choosing paired with James, get on my profile and vote!
Also a reviewer would be nice... I have no idea whether I suck at writing or not, if I do, just say it already, don't get my hopes up of being a great fanfic writer. I prefer the truth to fake happiness... hell I'd even be happy with a flame... I need to start a barbeque anyway
Oh by the way I hope this new writing style is easier on all you guy's and girl's eyes out there.
Please review.
Cryo out.
