Chapter 9 – Baka Rangers United

"What!" "My final test to be a full teacher is by removing our class from the last position in the next exam?" Negi exclaimed without thinking.

"That is...hard. Actually impossible." Vicis muttered to himself "Our class has the legendary baka rangers you know?"

"I know it's almost impossible but i trust that you can do it Negi-sensei." the dean said.

"Alright!" Negi said.

"Even if I said alright with such a confident tone, our baka rangers are scoring the lowest throughout the whole level." Negi said while lying face down on the table.

"Tough luck to you." Vicis agreed "Maybe you should ask the baka rangers to study?"

"I doubt them studying has any effect to their results." Negi said.

"How about asking the Library Expedition club for help?" Vicis asked "Maybe there's a legendary book that will allow them to gain intelligence just like an rpg!"

"That's a great idea!" Negi smiled and ran quickly to class.

"I was kidding..." Vicis said blankly but Negi had already ran away "Looks like I have to follow them as the ideal was mine."

Vicis followed Negi after saying that. "What a pain" Vicis sighed.

"So that is the reason why all of us are gathered here in the middle of the night?" the Library Expedition trio said looking at the baka rangers, Ku-Fei, Kaede, Asuna, Yue and Makie.

"Yup!" the baka rangers and Negi shouted and nodded.

"Hey Negi, why can't i seem to feel any magical energy from you?" Vicis asked quietly.

"Erm... I accidentally sealed my magic for three days due to a potion I was making." Negi said with tears coming out of his eyes.

"Sorry..." Negi said with more tears flowing down his face.

"Ahhh... it's alright, no problem at all!" Vicis quickly said while waving his hands around.

"Come on, let's go!" the baka rangers cheered and move towards a huge metal door.

"I doubt it will work." a green haired girl with glasses said.

"Maybe it will, I heard stories about a magic book which can make other people smarter and give them knowledge beyond their widest imagination!" Yue said with a grin. "It's also said that noone ever lived long enough to tell what was gained through the book though."

'So how the heck did you know about it?" Vicis thought to himself.

'I'm begining to think that Yue is actally a spy or something like that.'

"So let's go!" the baka rangers, library expediton trio, Negi shouted

"You guys do remember it's in the middle of the night right?" Vicis added.

"Oh, we forgot." the students all said.

'I have a feeling that this people are hopeless at studying' Vicis thought while feeling a chill down his spine. 'I should be at Eva-tan's house sleeping right about now."

"Wow!" the students said when they saw the amount of books in the library.

They were standing on book shelves full of books, both old and new, there were many staircases, leading up, down, left and of the staircases where also upside down while others spin around for a long period of time.

"Welcome to the second floor of the Library Island." the library expedition club said.

Cheers could be heard from the baka rangers and Negi was too busy looking at all the books around him while Vicis tried to take a book hanging on a ledge causing the group below him to open up and letting him drop into it. "Wait a Sec-Ahhhhhhh"

"Vicis-san!" Negi shouted.

'Focus ki around my body and prepare for impact' Vicis rolled into a ball and forced ki to his arms and fell down straight in a lake.

'What the heck was that all about' Vicis shivered and sneezed loudly. 'Good thing i focused on ki training for the last two years... although i actually planned it for a backup when I can't use magic, this situation seems proper to be used.'

"But seriously where is this place?"

"A house?" "Red roof with vines covering most of the walls"

Vicis then stood up and looked from where he fell. 'I could jump up onto the wall but I wouldn't want to explain to them on how i could climb a perfectly flat wall.'

"Looks like going to that house is the most appropriate decision right now."

"Hello... anyone there?" Vicis shouted after opening the wooden door.

'Judging from the conditions of the furniture, someone is living here.'

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" a girl's voice could be heard.

"Huh?" "Oh, my name is Terminus Vicis, I fell through a trap hole and ended up being here." Vicis quickly responded when he felt a sharp jab behind his back. 'A sword?' 'Oh sh*t.'

"Is that so?" "Then I welcome you, to my house." "My name is Furan Mafuyu, pleased to meet you." the girl answered back, withdrawing her sword.

Chapter 9 – End

Chapter 10 – The Book

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" "One of my students just fell through the ground!" Negi shouted, tears come out of his eyes, waving his hands like a mad man.

"I don't think he would die though." Ku-Fei and Kaede both said together.

"Why do you say that?" Negi stopped to ask.

"That person is just like us." "He can use ki to it's potential and such a fall won't kill someone of his level." "Trust us."

"Really?"

"Yeah, let us move on!"

After passing through tens of traps, mazes, secret doors and staircases, the students and Negi finally reached a metal door fit for a giant.

"Here goes nothing." Negi said before opening the door.

What Negi and the students saw caused them to fall down on the floor.

"Hmm?" "Why are you guys on the floor?" Vicis said, holding a teacup in his hand and sitting on a chair with his right leg over his left leg, opposite a lady in a kimono with long blonde hair and gray eyes holding the same teacup but with her legs down.

"What the heck do you think you are doing?" the girl called Asuna said before taking a paper fan and dis-leveling the ground near Vicis.

"Opps." Vicis quickly grabbed the drinking utensils and stood up.

"More intruders?" the blonde lady said before taking a sword and un-sheathing it.

"They are my friends, don't worry." Vicis said after sipping from the teacup.

"I see." "What brings all of you here?" the lady said while putting her sword in place. "Disturbing our break together."

"Vicis!" Asuna started to shout. "We spent so long trying to get here while you were drinking tea!"

"But she invited me for tea, how could i refuse a beautiful lady like here?" Vicis said with a smile and this caused a blush to form on the blonde lady's face.

"So, all of you are here for the sake of the intelligence gaining book?" the lady questioned.

"Not me, Mafuyu" Vicis answered, pointing towards the baka rangers. "It's them."

"Alright, I will bring you to the book." Mafuyu said and the baka rangers started cheering. "On one condition."

"What is it?" "Come on, tell us." the baka rangers eagerly asked.

"The little kid over there, ask your school dean to allow me to join into the same class as Vicis." Mafuyu then said the conditions with a blush on her cheeks.

'She's totally in love with him right?' the same thought process went through all the students.

"Mafuyu, where would you like to stay?" Vicis asked.

"Erm... can I... stay with you?" Mafuyu said quietly. "Erm...it's because i have no place to stay alright?" Mafuyu quickly added on to try and defend herself.

"Hmm... alright... after all... the owner of my house is a pretty nice person." Vicis smiled and nodded.

"On that topic, where exactly do you stay Vicis-san." Negi asked.

"Oh, me?" "I live in Eva-tan's house" Vicis said without hesitation.

"Eva-tan?" everyone said puzzled at who the person is.

"Oh, Evangeline." Vicis said again, completely straight without any emotions.

"Huh?" everyone except Mafuyu shouted.

"Who is that?" Mafuyu asked with a slight irritation in her voice.

Vicis quickly noticed her irritation and changed the topic smartly.

"Come on, let's hurry up and leave this place, I will try to convience the dean to accept you as another transfer student." Vicis said firmly. "Please?"

The last word caused Mafuyu to forget about her irritation and asked them to follow her to where the book is.

"Here's the book" Mafuyu said while pointing at a book held by a statue.

Everyone except for Vicis and Mafuyu quickly ran and took the book and they thanked Mafuyu for her help.

"Come on, let's take the lift back up" Mafuyu said while walking towards a door.

Vicis walked towards the statue, kneeled and cleared a patch of dust on the statue revealing this words.

"He who came here, Strucdos, helped to build and find books for the Library Island. A good friend, partner and helper. Always remembered by everyone."

Vicis smiled upon seeing the words and quickly moved towards the lift when he heard his name being called by everybody else.

'Father, I wonder if you would be angry at me for not becoming a full time spirit helper and causing the lifes of many people for the sake of her.' Vicis thought 'I guess you would, the day where you adopted me as your son was the second best day of my life.'

Chapter 10 – End

Chapter 11 – For Whose Sake.

"Hahaha, that was priceless." Vicis said while remembering what they found out about the book in the Library Island. "They found out that the book was actually a elementary school text-book with a fake cover?" "Well, it was supposed to help gain intelligence to the reader so I guess it isn't really a lie."

"Tomorrow is the day Mafuyu takes the test to see if she can actually enter my class."

"It was weird though, the baka rangers actually managed to pass all their exams, resulting in my class getting third."

"Time for me to see what Eva-tan is up to." Vicis said while walking to his house.

"But the moon today is so beautiful and round." Vicis said while looking at the sky,

"Ouch!" Vicis said when he accidentally cut himself against a branch on his neck. "I guess i will need bandage it when i reach home."

"Hello Eva-tan?" Vicis said to break the silence of the house.

"That's strange, I was half expecting something to happen right about now."

Vicis walked to the second floor to check up on Evangeline.

"She didn't come to school today, I'm kinda of worried."

Vicis walked towards the door and opened it slowly causing it the creak. 'That was creepy.' Vicis thought and continued to open the door. "Hey, Eva-tan." Vicis said to the room and all of a sudden someone pounced onto him.

"Argh, who is it?" Vicis said while rubbing his head.

"Your blood, it smells so very delicous!" a voice said lustfully.

"What?" Vicis managed to say that before feeling a sharp pain in his neck and soon, he felt as his instinct to kill and suck blood increase tremendously. He felt thirsty, blood thirsty. He soon stood up and fell against the wall grabbing the part of his neck that he felt pain from.

"Rip them into pieces of meat."

"They are just food, give into your desire, your pleasure."

"Don't be afraid, what's holding you back?"

"Shut up!"

"Why are you resisting?"

"I said shut up!"

"Come on, make me"

"Hahahahahahaha"

"What's wrong?"

"Did you lose your will already?"

Vicis screamed and before he could do anything, he felt a sharp pain on his neck and blacked out before anything could happen.

Chapter 11 – End

Chapter 12 – A Dream?

Vicis woke up finding with sweat all over his body, he checked his neck and found nothing on his neck. "A dream?" Vicis said while checking his surroundings. He was in his bedroom and nothing seemed to be wrong

"Hahaha" Vicis made a dry laugh. "Of course it was a dream."

Vicis then lay on his bed and closed his eyes but couldn't sleep and proceeded to move into the woods and practice his magic.

"The Great Spirits, Heed My Call, I Summon Thee, As Successor Of Strucdos, To Use My Armor of Shiva."

Vicis chanted and soon little balls of light appeared out of nowhere, if someone who did not know any magical knowledge saw this, they would go weak at their knees due to the immensive magical energy. After all, this magic was one of the few spells that could be casted by a person with a contract relationship with the God of spirits.

"Let My Armour And My Body Be Merged, Physically and Mentally."

Soon, Vicis had two gloves, black on the left, white on the right, two boots with the same colour of the gloves and Trident which had Sparda engraved on it.

"Looks like my equipment still works." Vicis commented.

"Open The Portal To Nevermoore."

Vicis then walked into a rip of space and he appeared in a black room with completely nothing.

"I Shape Nevermoore To Act Desert Region."

The room then quickly changed into a desert with nothing but sand in sight, the scenery of the place was real and true, everything became a recreation of a scene that was present in Vicis's memories.

"Start Up, Summon Sand Worm, Magical Monster,Max Magical Energy Potential, 6000."

A growl could be heard and soon a sand worm twenty times the size of a normal human comes from underneath the sandy ground. It's teeth bare, it had tentacles moving left and right, controlling earth about. A horrific scene, the monster moved straight towards Vicis.

"Eye Of Apocalypse, Storm Of Carnage, Fuel Your Need For Destruction, Gather Your Strength"

After casting his spell, the sky turned black and a thunderstorm was evidently in bound and a giant blue circle appeared on the sky and charged directly onto the sand worm and it was obvious that the person who had casted this was someone on a level noone could understand. The sand monster felt the intense magical energy concentrating in the sky and knew that it's only chance was to quickly kill the mage casting the spell but Vicis appeared ontop of the worm and stabbed his trident on the worm and charged a dark laser beam on it's left hand, impaling the worm to the sand, but the worm wasn't going to give up easily. The worm quickly moved the sand ontop of it's body and turned it into stone and send in flying towards the direction of Vicis. Vicis, upon seeing the stone shards, used instant movement to get away from being struck.

"Burst Of Fire, Burn Everything In Sight, Wild Flames."

A fire wall around Vicis formed and soon was sent to to all directions, this caused the worm to use sand to protect itself and Vicis took this chance to charge the his first spell into max power.

"Spirits Of The Old, Spirits Of The New, Focus Your Energy, Gather At The Eye Of The Storm And Release Your Rage On My Medium."

When the spell finished, a shock wave was sent around, destroying the field and causing Vicis to be sent back to the original black room.

"Even if it's stronger than one of the strongest electrical spells, thousand bolts, it needs a ridiculous amount of mana and I had needed the help of thousands of spirits to actually distort the area and bring it into existance and it also needs a medium to focus on and fightning against a human would prove useless due to it's long cast time and slow projectile speed. There are good things about it too though, the scale is ridiculously large and able to destroy almost virtually anything."

"Check, Time"

"The time is 6:45 a.m in your region."

"Exit, Target, Place 01."

Vicis then walked into a hole which appeared infront of him.

'I'm back into my room huh?' Vicis thought while scanning the area.

"I'm tired, time for me to sleep." Vicis said while yawning.

"Good thing it's a sunday today."
