Chapter Four

Darkness Looms

"How dare you show your face in my presence after what you did to me you vile piece of trash!" Evangeline-san said jumping back a few feet with Chachamaru close to her side.

"Now is that any way to greet a old friend." Carson said with a chuckle

"You and I were never friends in fact your nothing more that a vile rat. Your worse than that vermin on Boya's shoulder." Eva-san said as her anger grew.

"Hey you can't blame me for what I did but it was the Thousand Master that cursed you not me."

"Yeah but if you wouldn't have told him my weakness he I wouldn't be trapped in this hellhole."

"Did you think that I was just going to standby and let you terrorize the English countryside." Carson looked over at Negi who looked worried that a fight might break out. "Hey Negi why don't you head back after all you have a class to teach tomorrow and besides Eva-san has no power right now." He said pointing to the sky. "After all it's a new moon right now." he said with a smirk. "Besides I wanted to talk to her anyway."

"Ok" Negi said in a worried tone as he walked back to the room.

"What would I have to talk to you about?" Eva-san said still quite angry.

Carson's face completely changed. "Its O'Connor. He has the Potestas Amplia Staff." he said with coldness in his voice.

"What! Blake Donovan O'Connor The Runic Mage!"

"Yes I'm afraid so and to make matter worse is that he's seeking revenge against all Western Mages that have crossed him in the past. Not to mention his ultimate goal of obtaining the supreme items." said Carson.

"That means I and Boya are in danger."

"Hey that child has great power don't worry about him."

"Is that the cousin speaking or the Veneficus Lens?" Eva-san asked.

"Its both you and I both know that the boy is destined for something great. And he can get out of any jam." Carson said in a confident tone. "Never the less we have a hard battle ahead I trust you still have that little resort in a bottle. If memory serves me correct we had some fun in there." Carson whispered in Evangeline ear.

Pow! Carson gets knocked in the jaw and sent flying down the stairs. "You haven't changed at all you vile piece of slime." Eva-san said blushing.

Meanwhile in a unknown location

"Do we know the location of the Veneficus Lens yet?" A mysterious figure asked.

"Uhh not yet master but we are working on as fast a possible." a small little man said to the mysterious figure in the chair.

"Corbin I didn't return you back to your human state just to get excuses. I can just as easily turn you back in to an ermine." He said bringing his staff into view.

"Yes master O'Connor I will only return with if I have its location." He said as he ran out of the room.

"You can try and hide Gabriel but I will find you and destroy you and every one you ever loved."

Back in Mahora Academy

"Uhhh…" Carson awoke to Asuna, Negi, and Konoka rushing to get ready for school. "God do you relies I haven't woken up before noon in over a hundred years and it took you three one night to break that."

"Good you shouldn't be such a bum anyway. I thought with age comes wisdom." Asuna said as she was fixing her hair.

"Yeah what happened to children that minded there manners." Carson said in his defense.

"I made you some breakfast so you might want to eat it now so it doesn't get cold." Konoka said as the three left for school.

"Well its good to see that this generation isn't total lost." Carson said to him self as he pulled himself off the couch.

After Carson ate breakfast he decided to pay Negi a visit. Walking thru the school this time was much different. As instead of weird look the majority of the girls were whispering and blushing.

"I guess the word go out that I'm Negi's cousin. Who would have guessed that a ten year old could be so popular." Carson said as he arrived at Negi's class. Just before he knocked he listened in on his cousin. He saw a bit shocked as he looked thru the window that he was doing so well.

"Ok class open your textbooks to page 78 and read silently." Negi instructed his class.

"I guess now is a good time." He then knocked

"Uh class just continue reading." Negi said as he went to answer the door. "Yes can I help… Carson uhh… what are you doing here?" Negi asked all flustered.

"I just came to see how you go about teaching." Carson said letting himself in as he did I was mobbed by just about all the students in 3-A.

"Wow a real English gentleman" "So when Negi gets older is he going to look like you?" "Do you have any embarrassing stories about Negi?" One after another he was mauled until a tall blonde girl stepped in.

"Let me personally welcome you to Mahora Junior High. I am the class representative Ayaka Yukihiro." she said as she grasped his hand. "It is truly an honor that to meet one of Negi-sensei's relatives."

"Uhh.. Yeah." Carson said a little confused but he thought to himself 'Man this girl is a total suck-up.' but he was sure not to say anything. "Look don't let me disturb your class I was just bored and I would have went to hang out with Headmaster but he's a bit boring I thought that you kids could tell me what kind of fun things there is to do." Carson asked the class only to get mauled again. He was able to break free of the girls. "Ladies you have class afterward you can show me but first things first." He then whispered to Negi. "After we get a little R&R were going to start training. We need to be on our toes our enemy is strong so we must be ready." The two then shared a nod and Negi went back to teaching his class.
