Chapter 4: Negi and the Baka Rangers

Negi stirred as the light from the sun passed through the glass of the window in Konoka's, Asuna's and now Negi's room. Negi's eyes began to open. His vision was blurry, but after a few blinks, it returned to normal. He stared up and was surprised not to see the ceiling. He thought he was seeing things, but when he tried to rub his eyes with his hand, he couldn't move it. He cocked an eyebrow and tried to move his hand again, but he couldn't. It felt like a weight was on it and couldn't move his hand because of it. Turning his head to the side to see the obstruction on his hand and his eyes widened in shock.

Negi began panicking. He stared down at the brown hair girl, who had her head resting on his chest and her body resting on his trapped arm. Negi blushed so red that it looked like his head was ready to explode in embarrassment. He heard her let out a long comfortable sigh, telling him that she was relaxed and liking the extra body in her bed. Negi's face got even redder when she snuggled closer and her arm wrapped around his chest. This was becoming too much for Negi as he felt his blood rush up to his face. He needed to get out of this situation before she woke up or worse, the fiery red might wake up first and, according to what he noticed about her personality, kill him.

He tried to think of ways to get out this situation, but his brain wasn't working properly and it didn't help much that Konoka snuggled even closer as her leg entwined with his. Before Negi knew it, it felt like steamed was coming out of his ears and then fell unconscious with blood running down his nose.

The sunlight soon shined upon Konoka's face and her eyes started to flutter open. However, she didn't feel her head resting on her soft pillow, but on something more warmer and slightly harder, but more comfortable than her pillow. She opened her eyes and one look at the person in her bed and the fact that she was so close to him, made her eyes widened, her face get as red as it possibly can and she let out a shriek.

"EEEEEKKKKK!" At that moment, Asuna woke up with a startle at Konoka's voice and the same happened to Negi.

"Konoka! What's wro-" She jumped down from her bed and at the sight of Negi, her face slightly blush and then her anger rose to a boiling point. "W-What the hell are you doing?" She seethed through her teeth, glaring at Negi. The poor red head panicked and sweat in fear.

"A-Asuna-san, this is...I mean..." He tried explaining, but he knew he had no excuse.

"YOU PERVERT!" She yelled and slammed her fist on his head, knocking him out in an instant.


Eventually, Asuna went to her morning job delivering newspapers, but not before threatening Negi that if he tried anything while she was away to Konoka, he would feel her rage. Negi definitely didn't want to feel her rage again or otherwise he might end up in a coma if he did. Negi let out a sigh once Asuna left, but now being alone with Konoka made him even nervous. He wondered what she thought of him now. He knew she probably thought of him as a pervert and he was nothing like that. He was an English Gentleman after all and he would never do anything perverted.

He looked over to Konoka, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen and the awkward silence was making Negi even more nervous. His face still held a small blush and he guessed that Konoka's face was the same. He let out another sigh to help calm himself down and when he heard the sound of the oven turning off, he looked up to see Konoka walking over to him, with the food she prepared and just like he expected, her face was red from embarrassment.

"H-Here you go, Negi-kun. I didn't know what kind of eggs you liked, but..." She told him, placing the plate in front of him.

"It's fine, Konoka-san." He replied with a small smile. He looked down at his food and frowned. The room fell in silence again, neither of them touching their food. "Um, Konoka-san..." Negi broke the awkward silence. She perked up at his voice and looked at him. "I'm sorry about what happened." He apologized and Konoka smiled at him, the blush still on her face.

"It's fine, Negi-kun." She accepted his apology, making Negi sigh in relief that she forgave him. "But, why were you in my bed?" Konoka asked, wondering why he was on her bed.

"I'm sorry about that Konoka. The truth is I'm not sure how, but I think I accidentally sleep walked." Negi frowned.

"Sleep walked?" Konoka repeated.

"Well, when I was younger my older sister let me sleep with her when I had nightmares. It was often also, but I hadn't done that since I was ten." He told truthfully, looking down and avoiding eye contact with Konoka. "You probably think I'm a pervert?"

"N-No, I don't think that." She answered looking down. "You couldn't help it. So, don't worry about it." She looked back up and gave Negi a warm smile.

"T-Thank you, Konoka-san." Negi smiled back, relieved that she forgave him. "I promise I won't let that happen again." Negi told her as she nodded her head.

"Well then, I think we should hurry up and eat before we're late to class." Konoka said as Negi nodded his head in agreement and the two began eating. "By the way, Negi-kun, how did someone like you get to become a teacher at your age?" Konoka asked, trying to start up a conversation.

"Oh, well I graduated with a Master's degree in teaching at Mag-Oxford and I then decided to come to Japan and teach here." He responded with a smile.

"Wow!" Konoka was in awe. She then took notice of the long staff like stick, laying behind Negi on the floor. "Why do you have a staff, Negi-kun?"

"It was a gift from my father..." Negi replied sadly with a frown. "Unfortunately, people think he is dead." Konoka frowned.

"Oh...I'm sorry. I didn't know." Konoka apologized.

"It's fine. I don't believe he is dead anyway." Negi replied bringing back his smile and ate his rice. Konoka looked at him with a gentle smile, touched by the fact that he has so much confidence in knowing that his father was still alive, despite everyone else saying he wasn't. The two resumed eating and talked before finally getting dressed and heading off to class to start the day.


Negi sighed as he sat on his desk in the teacher's lounge. The day was not starting out like he imagined. First, he woke up in Konoka's bed, got hit in the head by Asuna's fist, and when he got to his class, the girl's who were at the bathhouse during the little fiasco last night, all looked at him with some disappointed eyes and embarrassed faces. The tension in the class was so high you could cut it with a knife and he knew it probably wasn't as good for him as it was for Konoka. He saw that she had her face hidden behind her book most of the class feeling embarrassed by what happened and he couldn't blame her. He too wanted to hide behind his book, but being the teacher he couldn't. When the bell rang for lunch he wanted to run out of the class and go hide under a rock until the whole situation to blow over, but he knew it wouldn't happened.

He sighed again as he looked down at the class roster, hoping to memorize all the girl's name. "Negi-sensei." Negi turned his head at the sound of his name being said and looked up to see the beautiful Staff Guidance Counselor of Mahora, Shizuna.

"Ah, Shizuna-sensei! What can I do for you?" Negi asked with a wide smile as Shizuna giggled at his quick change in attitude.

"I have brought you the 2-A after-class list from Takahata-sensei here for you." She handed him over the list.

"After-class List?" Negi asked as he took the list.

"Yes. Takahata-sensei used to give out minor tests to the students and those who got low marks on them would join him after-class and help them." She replied and then pointed down at the list. "All those girls are the members of this after-class lesson."

Negi looked down and saw the pictures of five girls and when he saw Asuna's face, he couldn't help but snicker. "I see. Asuna-san is one of the girls who has trouble in English."

"Actually, it seems that she likes to go to the after-class lessons a lot." Shizuna told him.

'I probably know why too.' Negi chuckled mentally.

"But since its the third semester already and those who get low scores now won't be able to pass the final exams coming up soon." She whispered to him.

"Ah, your right." Negi agreed and then looked back down to the list and placed a hand under his chin. 'Hmm, this could be a problem. But then again, I could use this as a chance to earn some respect from Asuna and just maybe she won't hate me. After all, trust between student and teacher is very important.' Negi then pumped his fist. "Yosh, I'll do my best!"

"That's the spirit, Negi-sensei." Shizuna replied with a wide smile.


'I thought all of that, but this is something else.' Negi sweat dropped at the low test scores coming from the five students who were on the after-class list. He decided to give the class a pop quiz and let's just say, some of them were not into the idea. Most of the class did pretty well, except for these five who now stood in front of Negi.

"And so...the 2-A Baka Rangers have assembled!" Yue said as Makie, Ku Fei, Kaede and Asuna all stood in front of Negi who sweat dropped at the name they gave themselves.

"Who's a Baka Ranger!" Asuna shouted at Yue, irritated by the name. "So, I can't study! Besides, this is an elevator school anyway. It's not like I'm not going to go to High School anyway." She replied crossing her arms. Negi snickered to himself and turn around, before smirking.

"But Asuna-san, wouldn't Takamichi be sad knowing that your English grades are so bad." Negi used his trump card.

"W-What!" Asuna was shocked to know that Negi knew about her crush on Takamichi and blushed a deep red color. "F-Fine." She gave up knowing that what Negi said was probably true. "All I have to do is take the class, right?" She asked as Negi nodded his head.

"Okay then! First, we would take a small ten point quiz. If you can score a 6 or higher, then you will be able to go. If you don't then, I will help you with the problems you get wrong and then you'll just have to take the test again, understand?" He asked the five Baka Rangers who all nodded their hands as he handed out the test papers and pencils. "Alright then, begin!"

After 15 minutes, Yue was the first to stand and she handed her paper to Negi. "Here you go, Negi-sensei." Negi nodded and began grading her test and was amazed that she scored 9 out of 10.

"Wow, Yue-san, you scored 9 out of 10!" Negi congratulated her as two screams from Nodoka and Haruna behind her made Yue blush slightly. "See, you can do it!" He told her.

"I know, I just hate studying." She admitted truthfully as she and the other two students headed toward the door.

"You really should study, Yue." Haruna told her petite friend.

"I told you, I don't feel like it." She replied. "Anyway, let's head over to the book shop before it closes." Nodoka bowed her head as the three left, Negi waving them goodbye.

"Done-Aru!" Ku Fei said waving her test paper in the air.

"I'm finished, Negi-sensei!" Makie said as well as Kaede nodded her head. Negi looked over at the three with a wide smile and took their test papers and began grading them. Once he finished grading, he sweat dropped at the scores of 3,4 and another 3. The three girls all chuckled and rubbed the back of the heads in embarrassment.

"How about you, Asuna-san?" Negi asked looking over at the red haired, who looked like she was struggling with her test before she stood up and shoved the test to him. He graded it and sweat dropped at the score of 2 that he wrote in red ink on her paper. "Alright then, let us go over the point and what you girls did wrong, okay?" He told as they took their seats.

After finishing his lesson and giving them another paper, he waited until Ku Fei and Kaede finished their test and he graded them. He was amazed at their progress as they both got 8 out of 10. "Wow, you girls passed with a score of 8! Congratulations!" He said as both Ku Fei and Kaede grinned and slightly blushed.

"It was all thanks to you, Negi-bozu!" Ku Fei thanked Negi. "I transferred from China and have a hard time with Japanese along with English, so I gotta do my best-aru!" She told Negi as Kaede laughed and the two left.

"Sensei! I'm done!" Negi heard Makie's voice and turned around to grade her test.

"You got 6 out of 10 Makie-san! You just made it!" Makie blushed at his smile.

"Sorry for being so dumb, Negi-sensei!" She said before leaving, making Asuna the last person standing.

"Your the last one, Asuna-san." Negi said as she once again shoved her test to Negi and he graded it. She unfortunately got a 1. Negi sweat dropped at the grade and looked up to see a depressed Asuna. "Don't worry Asuna-san, once I have tutored you, you will get 8 out of 10 in no time!" He told her as he began tutoring her and giving her test after test, only for her to receive very low scores every time.

"Let's just face it, I'm a failure!" Asuna groaned.

"Don't say that, Asuna-san! I know you can do it!" Negi exclaimed, trying to encourage her.

"How is it going in here, Negi-kun?" The two of them turned their heads toward the window and Asuna blushed at the sight of Takamichi. "Oh, you are still here as usual, huh, Asuna-san? Well then, don't give Negi-sensei too much trouble." He winked at her.

"Ah! Ta-Takahata-sensei! No, I wasn't...I mean..." Asuna tried to explain, but Takamichi just laughed and began walking away, waving goodbye at them. Negi waved back and then turned to look at Asuna who began trembling. Negi probably knew why she was and tried to calm her down, by placing a hand on her shoulder, but she suddenly ran out of the classroom.

"Ah, Asuna-san!" He called out to her, but before he could do anything, he lost her. Negi let out a sigh and scratched his head in frustration.

"Ah, Negi-kun?" Negi turned his head to look at Konoka who had a raised eyebrow in confusion as Negi just let out a sigh. "Is something wrong, Negi-kun?" She asked.

"It's just Asuna-san. She ran off after failing a couple of tests." Negi sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

"I wouldn't worry about Asuna, Negi-kun." Konoka told him as he looked at her in confusion. "Even though, shes always like this, when it comes down to it, she really is smart." Konoka smiled.

Her smile became contagious as Negi felt himself give a smile. "Yeah! Your right!"
