Notes:

This chapter will show the armor card of Yue Ayase, and her modified ability, although I planned this chapter to have a long battle with kotarou but I decided to put it on the next chapter so you guys will know her artifact because it will have a powerful impact in the plot, but I promise that the next chapter will be the long awaited battle with kotarou.

Chapter 5-A: Kotarou (III): Yue's armor card; Explanation Chapter

Negi explained what transpired earlier; he was strolling in the campus grounds when he left the presence of the darkness, he quickly went and dispelled them, after the presence of the darkness disappeared, four black dogs attacked him, he quickly defeated three with his magic but the last one manage to scratch him in the cheeks and stomach before he defeated it, the dogs quickly disappeared into thin air after they were defeated.

"Well, judging from what you explained is that those dogs were non-related to the star crystal," Luna said after hearing what Negi said. "the one thing that I'm confused is that you have 29 partners why the heck you won't ask for help?"

This question made some of the girls worry for their professor, some angry at him for not asking for help and some confused at Luna.

"I mean," Luna looked at some of the girls, "you guys being Negi's partner, you guys have to at least know what is happening to him,"

"Luna-san, I prefer that we talk about this later," Negi said as he watch some of the girls look at him. "because class is starting,"

Luna nodded and apologized for disturbing the class, Asuna looked angry at Negi. 'what do you think your doing Negi,' she thought 'not after what happened to al of us, why wont you still need our help?' she decided to let Negi have a piece of her mind but for now she have to let class start.

(Time lapse: After class)

"Okay class, now remember tomorrow will meet at the station at 9:00am okay," Negi announced to the class at the same time erasing the writings in the blackboard. "Class dismissed,"

As soon as Negi said that Asuna, Konoka, Ayaka and Nodoka quickly stood up, saying 'Negi-sensei' at the same time.

"Sorry, Iinchou-san, Asuna-san…" Negi said as he went straight to the door, but he was blocked by Setsuna. "But I have other business to attend to."

"No, Negi," Asuna said as he went near the teacher. "We have more questions to ask you,"

"I'm very sorry Negi sensei,' Setsuna said as she grabs his hand."After what happened earlier, I would like also some answers."

"Setsuna-san," Negi said as he tried to let go of the girl's grip but to no avail. "let go of my hand,"

"Why, Negi-bouzu?" Kaede said as she went near the teacher. "Why won't you let us help you?"

Some of the girls went near the teacher, and soon after Negi was crowded by his students and some voicing their concerns. Evangeline and Chachamaru left the room, thus the latter looking at the scene before leaving. Luna just sighed saying 'trouble in paradise' and returned to drawing her sketch.

Before the girls can have their answer, the door once again opened, the girls looked at the person standing at the doorway. Jason looked at the room bewildered, then he looked at the crowded place in the room, there he saw Negi on the ground while Asuna was on top of him, getting the wrong idea he quickly looked at some other place.

"Maybe, I entered at a wrong time" Jason said as he quickly excused himself then he saw his fiancée's face, he quickly got the signal his fiancée gave him.

"Jason-sensei," Konoka asked curious. "Why are you here?"

"You see, I'd like to talk to your sensei, but it seems that his hands are still full so maybe later," Jason explained looking at the crowd.

"No, Jason-sensei," Negi said as Asuna got off him and he quickly stood up. "What is it?"

"Well I would like to ask you if I can borrow the library exploration club later," Jason said as he gave him a letter signed by the dean. "you see, I'm still fixing the damaged part of the library island, and I would like someone who knows the library well enough for me to carry books without falling in some other traps because someone manage to destroy the shelves there," Fuuka and Fumika blushed remembering the tour they gave Jason and Luna which got very sidetracked.

"Is the four of enough Jason-sensei?" Haruna asked as she figure out her plans for tonight.

"Yes, you guys are more than enough," Jason smiled as he look at his fiancée, "come on Luna, I'm hungry, let's eat,"

"Okay, darling," Luna smiled as she went down and hold her fiancée's hand, then she whispered 'help him' in his ear, Jason nodded and looked at the boy-teacher.

"You looked tired, Negi-sensei," Jason said as he put his palm on Negi's forehead, then grabbing his hand. "Come on, I have something that will fix you up."

Some of the girls complained when the librarian grabbed their teacher but they were no match for Jason when he explained that they will have their teacher back after he was done with him.

"Thank you," Negi said as they left the room and went straight outside.

"No problem," Jason said as he looks at his fiancée's face. "I won't ask why, but let me just tell you one thing,"

"What is it?" Negi asked as he looks at the librarian curiously.

"there will be a time when you will need the help of your partners, it won't be today or tomorrow but trust me, you will need them," Jason seriously said as his fiancée smiled at him, "don't try to do everything by yourself, besides it's much more fun when doing something with others then just yourself,"

Negi took what the librarian said as they went of separate place; he didn't know that a pair of eyes was looking at him.

(Time lapse [a small one])

It was physical education class for 3-A, all of the girls excluding a certain Yue was in the gym. Asuna was looking at the gym, nobody was there except for them so they can freely talk about magic and other stuffs.

"That Negi," Asuna said looking for their professor who was not in the gym. "he's late, what is he doing,"

"Don't worry Asuna," Konoka said as she walks next to her, "maybe, he some meeting with grandfather of something."

"ojou-sama is right," Setsuna commented as she was doing some sit-ups. 'Negi-sensei can protect himself; there is nothing for you to worry about."

"I'm not worrying for that kid," Asuna denied, her cheeks flushed. "It's just that we are his partners, he should have more trust in us."

The girls heard what Asuna said, Ayaka looked down on the ground depressed; some of them sighed, Luna saw this and she said some words of encouragement.

"there will be a time where your teacher will need you ," Luna said as she was reading her magic book, fixing her glasses she continued. 'it may not be today, but if it does happen, you guys must do your best just to help him, but for now you guys must trust in his judgment and make yourselves stronger."

Some of the girls moods changes on what the little girl said, Evangeline huffed while Asuna, Nodoka and Ayaka nodded, Konoka smiled. Nodoka turned to Haruna worried.

"Haruna, do you know where Yue-Yue is?" Nodoka asked worried about her friend. "She's never late for class."

"no, Nodoka," Haruna answered as she looks at the gym. "I haven't seen her since after class."

Their question was answered when the door to the outside opened, revealing Negi chatting with Yue; the girl was wearing a black robe with red linings on the sleeves, a black short skirt, violet stockings, a yellow loose belt a pair of black shoes and a very large black hat with a large 'x' in the upper part near the tip, from far she looks like a real wizard.

"I'm very Yue-san," Negi said as they walk inside the gym, he didn't notice that the girls were looking at them because he was looking at Yue's face.

"It's fine Negi-sensei," Yue answered, her cheeks blushing slightly, she watched as some of her classmates were looking at them. "Besides I didn't know my artifact yet because you're the one who defeated those dogs."

"yeah, but I'm really sorry that you got involved in my battle earlier," Negi commented bowing then he smiled looking at her, "but now you really look like a wizard Yue-san,"

"Yue-san, Negi, what happened" Asuna said as she went near the two. "why are the two of you late?"

"You see, Asuna-san," Negi said as both he and Yue were quickly surrounded by his students.

"Yue, what happened to your clothes?" Haruna asked confused but intrigued at the same time. "Where did the two of you go actually?"

"Actually, Yue-san found me," Negi answered calmly, "and what she is wearing right now is her armor form,"

"What; really?" Konoka said amazed at when her teacher nodded. "Her armor form, wow,"

"What happened Negi-sensei?" Setsuna asked. "Why is Yue-san in her armor form?"

"well, when I was on the way here, I was attacked by black dogs," Negi explained, "good thing that Yue-san found me when I was surrounded."

"but Negi-sensei manage to defeat all of the dogs without my help," Yue said depressed, " I didn't have time to use my artifact,"

Asuna and Ayaka both sighed in relief to find out their teacher is safe. Makie was intrigued with the large hat and she quickly touched it.

"hey, Yue-san, why is this part of the hat has been cut of?" Makie said as she touches the middle part of the hat where the gap could be seen.

"don't touch me there girl," a voice said as the class looked at the souce to find the gap of the hat opened and some white marks appeared to look like teeth, "you know when someone tried to touch your mouth without permission what would you think?"

"The hat spoke!" Makie pointed as she backed away from Yue.

"I'm not a hat girl!" the hate spoke as it huffed. "I'm a magical artifact for your information,"

"What, no, who are you?" Yue asked even though she can't see the hat because it's on her head and she cannot remove it.

"The name's Seigehat, Yue-sama," the hat answered. "I'm the magical artifact that you summoned, new master,"

"How did you now her name?" Asuna asked amazed "Seigehat-san"

"Simple," the hat answered, "my memory and personality are all synchronized to Yue-sama,"

"What!" Yue exclaimed, "but, what- how," the confused girl can't think of anything as her mind went blank.

'That means-' Yue thought as she look at the ground.

Yes, everything including your little crush on your teacher, everything even your true feelings. (A/N: when Seigehat is speaking telepathically to Yue I will just put it in italic so it will not intrude late on as the story progresses)

'I don't have a crush on sensei!' Yue thought back as she felt warm inside.

Don't try to lie to me Yue-sama, I know everything about you, I know that you know that your friend like your teacher but deep down I know you want to keep him to yourself!

'No! That's a lie!' Yue thought as her mind was filled with images about her and Negi Negi together. ' I would never!'

So why did you kiss him eh?

'that's because sensei was going to be revealed and I don't want him or Nodoka to be sad!' Yue answered, her blush deepening.

That's what you say to yourself, remember I know everything about you so don't lie to me, Yue-sama!

'nooooo!' Yue denied, she felt really warm now.

"So your personality and memory are all synchronized with Yue eh?" Haruna said as she though of something as she watches Yue radiate heat, her cheeks are bright red while looking at the ground. "Why is that you act like that? I don't actually remember Yue being a loudmouth,"

"simple, perverted mangaka," Seigehat said, Haruna's eyes twitched at being called perverted. "our personalities might be synchronized but It doesn't mean that I have to act like her, besides it's much more fun to play with people, hehe, I act like her opposite"

Some of the girls nodded while others were sweat dropping as they saw the large grin the hat was giving, Luna was intrigued by the hat so she decided to come forward, the hat tensed when Luna walked closer to them.

"so, Seigehat-kun," Luna smiled as she inspects the hat closer. "what can you do, seeing you are a magical artifact,"

'What's wrong Seigehat' Yue asked, whatever the hat felt, the girl also felt and she felt fear. 'What's wrong with me?'

Like I said Yue-sama, we are synchronized, what ever this girl is, I don't like it, I sense blood in her, not only that but her magical reserves are also higher than my previous master, I don't like her.

'that's impossible Seigehat' Yue thought as she watch Luna inspects the hat while her classmates was waiting for the hat to answer. 'Luna-san is really nice, she helped us many times before,'

I still don't trust her, Yue-sama, but If you say so,

After a few seconds later, the hat spoke but with less enthusiasm than last time, "well that's depends on Yue-sama's capabilities," Seigehat spoke as it rocks up and down as Yue nod. "First let me scan my master's power.

"Wait, wha?" Negi asked confused on what the hat said. "Scan Yue-san?,"

"Yep, as a equip type magical artifact like myself, I can do that simple thing," the hat proudly said as it grew silent, then it glowed slightly before it returned to speaking, "scan complete, shall I proceed with my report?"

"um, proceed, Seigehat," Yue said as she was both curious and anxious about what will the hat say.

"Yue Ayase-sama; Ministra magi to Negi Springfield, magical reserves based on power chart is on 50 , battle style; none, currently memorized spell: 1." Seigehat spoke in a voice that sounded like a computer.

"um, basically Yue-san is just starting as a mage so it don't surprise me that her magical skills should be at basics," Luna commented. "but her reserves are on level 50, impressive,"

(A/N: okay the level reserves Seigehat mentioned is the same level jack rakan's chart of power, so that means she has a reserves the same level as a 2nd-class mage trainee.)

"Yue-san," Negi called to Yue which the braided girl turned to look at him. "what is the one magic spell you memorized?"

"Deflexio," Yue answered as she remembers the spell she learned from the brown-haired warlock. "Luna-san taught it to when we were having one of out explorations,"

Luna smiled as the girl mentioned her name, some of the girls turned to look at her , as Negi also turned to her and thanked her for teaching her about magic, but Luna only replied 'you should teach her, you're her magister after all,' Negi just frowned at what the girl said, Asuna noticed it and it made her more agitated and angry at him for not letting them help him.

'What is bothering him,' Asuna thought. 'That Negi, I will make sure that he answer me later,'

"Next," Seigehat said gaining everyone's attention, as Yue was once again anxious. "Yue-sama's primary magical affinity is void, secondary is lightning,"

"Huh?" Yue asked confused, "what are you talking about Seigehat?"

"Sensei," Nodoka asked moving closer to the teacher, "what is magical affinity?, what is void?"

"I'll explain, magical affinity is the mage/wizards elemental mastery, for example I'm a wind affinity wizard so that means I excel in wind magic more than any other element.
" Nodoka and the other girls nodded , absorbing the information their teacher was telling them. "next is void, in magic element training, there are five primary element that a mage/wizard is able to train with but a mage/wizard can only excel in one, there are also secondary elements, the five primary elements are fire, wind , ice, earth and void,"

"basically," Luna continued as she remember what she learned in the academy, "void is the element primarily used for supportive purposes, like emptiness it can control the magic hidden inside the body and it can control mostly magic inside the body, void magic takes a lot of time to cast, why? Because this magic comes from one's own emotion and it can be either destructive or supportive," (A/N: this is my own perception on void magic, if you guys are thinking that I got this idea from Zero no Tsukaima you are wrong I did not based that element on that anime and because in some RPG/MMORG games I played I play a main role of support characters, either that or a very fast scout type)

"the most simple void magic available in magical books and very easy to lean in Void magic: Illusion," Seigehat spoke as he returned to his regular voice.

"So that means, Yue can do that spell?" Haruna said as she drawing something on her pad, a perverted grin on her face. 'I can't wait to include this in my new doujin, Hehe'

"No," the hat spoke. "In order for Yue-sama to learn void magic is that either Yue-sama learn the incantation or someone teach her void magic,"

"Negi-sensei," Makie said as she was excited on what the hat is saying. "can you teach Yue-san that spell?"

"I'm sorry Makie-san," Negi apologized sighing. "I don't know any void spells," the class turned to Luna which the girl said, 'sorry, my affinity is fire so no,' then they looked at the vampire; who was with Chachamaru: both of them were sitting on the bench placed on the gym. "Don't look at me; ice magic is my forte,"

"well I guess that's that," Yue said disappointed as she took a pack of juice on her pocket (which was labeled 'death juice') and took a sip.

"Don't lose hope yet, Yue-sama," Seigehat said as once again he was rocking up and down. "I haven't said what the things I can do yet." The hat coughed as he got everyone's attention. "now let me properly introduce my self; the names Seigehat, and I'm one of the two part set of the enigmatic wizard set, as Negi-sama activates her contract and somehow it landed on armor card, she can make me do three things, of course this changes as she becomes more powerful," Yue and the girls nodded on what the hat was saying, Luna listened carefully while Evangeline lied down on Chachamaru's lap still listening. "First, I can use 'duplex mittamus'

"What," Yue said confused. "What is 'duplex mittamus'?"

"It's an ancient magic where one wizard can cast double the amount of spell with just a cost of a single incantation." Negi said as she explained it the girls. "but the incantation of that spell was lost thousand years ago, its history was written on one of my history of magic textbook back on Wales."

"Negi-sama is right," Seigehat spoke "basically if Yue-sama uses deflexio she is actually using double layered deflexio while the armor card is active." He coughed again recalling on what he is supposed to say. "secondly I can be Yue-sama's defensive assistant as well as her eyes in places invisible to human and some mages vision." Yue nodded as she took in the information. "Lastly is…"

"Is…?" Konoka asked curious.

"I forgot," Seigehat laughed, everyone who was listening intently dropped to the floor while Luna and Evangeline sweatdropped, Setsuna, Kaede and mana just sighed, not finding it amusing.

"Wait you said you are just one of the two," Luna asked, "so the other one is?"

"I was getting there," Seigehat spoke as he coughed and waited for everyone to regain composture. "second one is down there," everyone looked below to see an orange book hanging on Yue's waist by a golden chain, Yue took the book with ease and opened it; the pages on it were blanks, how many pages Yue turned, all of it were blanks.

"It's empty," Yue said as she lifts it up so that everyone can see, "nothings written on it,"

"that's because, that book is called the 'De alica aenigmatica', all of the pages written on it are all void magic incantation, the reason you can't see anything is because you are not strong enough to unlock those particular spell," the hat spoke as the girls listened well.

"So that means, Yue-san won't need someone to teach her void magic because all of the known spells are written there," Negi concluded. "Am I right Seigehat-san?"

"That's right, Negi-sama," the hat answered. "all of Yue-sama need to learn are most basic spells and have her magic reserves larger In order for powerful spells come out."

"That's convenient," Satome commented as she fix her glasses. "right Ku-Fei, Chao,"

"Yep," Chao answered.

"That's right-aru," Ku-Fei said as she looks closely.

"Now for added bonus," the hat said as the girls once again looked back at him. "I'll unlock the first spell, turn to the first page Yue-sama," the girl did what is told and turned to the first page of the book, she watched as letters in Latin appeared on the page; a spell circle was drawn on it as the symbols and runes were very different but she was able to read each and everyone of them.

'How can I read this?' Yue though, as she read the letters like a second language to her, 'as if I knew this words very well,'

Because I encoded to your brain the meanings of those letters

"So what is that spell Yue?" Haruna asked curious at the girl who was reading the texts written on it.

"Well it reads verum aspectu" Yue said as she read the first letters on the page. "Am I right Seigehat?"

"Yes, you are right," the hat answered. "I'll demonstrate the spell to you but after this I will be just your guide, oh and by the way you have an hour left before the contract deactivates."

Yue nodded as she listened to her magical artifact spoke the incantation.

O animum vacuum venit habitant intro circum oculos, ita acute ut aquila, longe vel prope, at vera quae sunt circa formam, verum aspectu!

As soon as the hat was finished chanting, it ordered Yue to close her eyes, the girl did was she was told and as soon as she was ordered to open her eyes again, she was amazed to see differently; everything was blue while her classmates around her was still the same but the only difference is they have a light blue line heading straight towards her teacher, Negi was still the same except there is a green aura radiating from him; she looked at Luna; the girl Is the same as her teacher, the only difference is that she has a very bright red aura and she has a red line reaching towards outside; she assumed that is was directed to Jason. And lastly she looked at Evangeline; she was shocked to see her differently, her blonde hair has added some red color, she was radiating a very dark grey aura and she was wearing a cap even though she is still lying down on Chachamaru's lap, her face was till the same except for her eyes color was now red, she watch as the vampire smiled at her and her eyes widen as she saw fangs appear, she nervously backed away.

"What's wrong Yue-san?" Negi asked as he watches her student backed away nervously, he turned to Evangeline, "what happened, Evangeline-san?"

"Oh, maybe she saw my true form," Evangeline smirked seeing the girl backed away nervously away from her. "Magical (imbuement) in the eyes, impressive,"

Are you okay Yue-sama? Shall I activate defensive procedures?

'No it's fine Seigehat,' Yue thought as she composes herself. 'I'm just getting used to this magic stuff, don't worry about me,'

"Wow, Yue-san!" Fumika said as she looks at the magic circles in the girl's eyes. "You look like a real wizard in one of those mangas!"

"Desu!" Fuuka cheere. "You should look at a mirror because you look amazing!" the twin gave her a mirror so the girl could she herself in the mirror.

Yue looked at her face and focused on her eyes; she looked at a familiar magic circle the size of a small coin embedded on her eyes.

'Wow' Yue thought. 'I never imagined I can do these things,'

See I told you, right Yue-sama

'Yeah' Yue replied.

More importantly I detect a foreign existence in this place

'What do you mean?' Yue asked confused.

Look over there!

Yue looked at the jumping blocks (if that is what they call it) arranged in the gym, she watched closely as she saw a figure inside there while it was radiating a black aura that looks like a dog. She became alerted at realizing that the person there was the source of her teacher's sudden attacks.

"Negi-sensei!" Yue called pointing to the jumping blocks, "there is someone there, not just anyone but a person with magical powers,"

"What!" the girls and Negi said as they looked at the jumping blocks, Luna looked at the place and readied a spell; Evangeline just looked at the ceiling uninterested.

'That girl,' Evangeline thought, 'she detected that person before I do,'

"I guess my cover is blown," a voice said coming from the jumping blocks, "I must applaud for finding me quite easily nee-san but-"

Then the top of the blocks was taken off, a figure jumped out of the blocks as the figure landed on the floor with one hand on the ground. The boy turned to the group as several dark circles appeared on the ground near him, then those circles were replaced by black dogs.

"you are still outmatched for me, even though I am outnumbered, the person grinned as he took a stance as the dogs readied themselves. "Can you handle the heat? Son of the thousand master!"

To be continued:
