Where There Is Harmony, There Is Victory

It is a beautiful sunny day and we are now coming from the view of the beautiful blue sky down to the campus ground around the courtyard where a lot of the girls are in recess playing outdoor activities like jump rope, picnicking, playing Frisbee, laughing and chatting and having a wonderful time. We see Yuna up front as she serves in Volleyball.

Yuna: There you go! Eight serving three!

Yuna bounces the volleyball from her wrists to Ako.

Ako: Oh, it's coming right at me! I got it! I got it! … *Bounces the ball* Got it! Haha!

The ball heads for Makie and she bumps it with her head and laughs.

Ako: Nice one!

Akira: I got it! Ha! *Bounces it with both her hands up*

Yuna: My turn! Mph!

Bounces it with one wrist up and heads toward Makie again. While the ball is heading towards her, she speaks.

Makie: Haha! Hey you know what, girls? It's been about 5 weeks since Negi got here. *Ball hits her head as it bounces up* And he's been so cool to us. What do you all think of him?

Ako: Mph! *Bounces the ball to Akira*

Akira: He's not so bad at all. I really like him. *Bounces it with one wrist to Yuna*

Yuna: Yeah! He's really giving it his all with the teaching thing too! *Bounces it with her head to Makie* How about you?

Makie: I think he's really cute! Haha! *Bounces it with her hands to Ako*

Ako: I know, he is! Hehe…

She catches the ball and holds on to it a bit.

Ako: But you know that final exams are coming and it is almost March. How do you think he'd be able to help us?

Yuna: The same way he always does. The way this school is looking, I feel it's like an escalator of learning until we reach University level. I never stopped learning even when Professor Takahata was with us.

Makie: Hehehe, but in the end, Negi is still young. There are things you just can't talk to him about like you can with Professor Takahata… you know, being older than Negi, it hardly seems subtle. Hehehe!

Yuna and Ako laugh at the matter while Akira remains silent.

Akira: Precisely what location seems the most subtlety to you?

Yuna: Anywhere but the girl's locker room! Hahahaha! Instead, I think we should be hearing Negi's problems from now on! Hehehe!

Yuna giggles hard in blushing matter with her fist close to her lips. Ako then releases the ball in the air and Makie speaks as she hits the oncoming ball.

Makie: Haha! *Bounces it* You mean as his experienced role models? Why not we try bringing up a little bit about our goals so he can get an idea how to help us get better at it? Hahaha, maybe it should be concerns about my body, huh? After all, the gymnastics club members always keep fit. Ah! *Bounces the ball with both hands back to Ako*

Ako: Yeah, that sounds subtle all right! As long as it relates to school, that's all Negi is really motivated to because he's a great teacher! Mph! *Bounces it with both her wrists pretty high* Got it!

Makie: Ahh!

The ball went a little too high as Makie leaps up to reach but misses and it bounces and rolls away.

Ako: My bad!

Makie goes to get the ball.

Makie: Hahaha! I guess you don't got it, Ako! *Looks forward* Ah!

Makie approaches the ball picked up by another girl in front of her as Makie gasps in surprise.

Makie: Y… you guys are…!

Yuna and Ako all gasp in fear surprise while Akira gasp in slight fear. We view the front of the older girls in a group as the leader has hold of the ball and looks at them with a smirk on her face.

Girl: Heh!

This brings us to competitive suspense but right after our opening credits clear out!

This takes us inside the classroom as we come through the hallway and observe the sign in front of the door saying 'Middle School Teacher's Lounge.' We view inside a lot of chattering with the older teachers, walking around, holding documents, drinking coffee, and going through their files while the television news is on mounted on the walls. We now see Negi going through his files as Shizuna approaches him while going through files too.

Shizuna: Professor Springfield.

Negi turns his rotating chair around to face Shizuna.

Negi: Yes?

Shizuna: How are you today? *Slipping files in the cabinets*

Negi: Oh, I'm doing just great. How about you?

Shizuna: Oh, just busy but all is well for me too. I'm just wondering how you like teaching here. How goes your training?

Negi: Oh, it's getting better.

Shizuna: Do you think you've got the feel for teaching pretty well now?

Negi: Uhh, n-not… really…

Shizuna: I see you still have yet to get that feeling, I assume. Still hanging onto a tight rope without letting your innocence slip up?

Negi: Hahahahaha, I'm still younger than everyone else in my class. And yes, it does feel the same since I arrived here. So… I tend to still get treated like kid sometimes. Hahaha, and nobody ever comes to see me for advice, or even to talk to me.

Shizuna: Hehe, well... I see how that is.

Negi: However, Asuna is the only one I've managed to associate with more than anyone else because I room with her and Konoka. The very first day I started, I managed to give good advice to her. And other times, we carried on pretty decent conversations. We practically have had a good relationship so far and I bet she feels the same way.

Shizuna: That's wonderfull to hear, Negi. I always see Asuna the brightest of them all and I'm glad you were able to blend in wonderfully with her.

Negi: Yeah. *Looks at his class list book* But I still want to get to know everyone else. *Turns to Shizuna* So far, I have been spending a lot of time teaching the Dummy Force more and more every week. Even with Asuna there, I doubt it's more than what I can ask for.

Shizuna: Hehehe, it takes time, Negi. You'll find a lot of time as long as you're here.

Negi: *Looks at roster* Yeah… *Looks at Shizuna smiling* Yeah, you're right.

Suddenly, Ako and Makie emerge from the door wailing in pain.

Makie: Wahahahaaa!

Ako: Professor, Negi!

Negi: Ah? Makie? Ako? What's wrong?

Ako: There's a fight going on outside!

Makie: Look what happened to me!

She shows him her bruised hand as she whimpers and sniffs.

Ako: Please, Negi! You have to help us!

Negi: Oh my! Who would do such a terrible thing?

The scene goes back to the volleyball thrown up in the air and then.

Older girl: High school girls? Attack!

The senior girl slams the volleyball really hard as it flies fast and hits Akira's hand and she cries in pain and falls back.

Yuna: Akira! *Goes over to kneel by her* You okay?

Akira: Urgh!

Leader: Hehe, I rest my case.

Yuna and Akira look up at the bullies.

Yuna: Argh!

The leader stands before them while the other girls behind her laugh at them.

Leader: You get the picture? Compared to us high school girls, you middle school brats are nothing but a bunch of pathetic and whiney little babies.

She takes an approach to Yuna while Akira rubs her bruised hand.

Leader: And now that we have an understanding, *Grabs Yuna by the shirt collar and drags her away* why don't you two get lost!

Yuna: *Flails her arms* We were here first! You can't make us move just cuz' you're older!

Leader: Sorry, we made up our mind, now scram!

As she drags Yuna and both grunt, Akira's bruised hand grabs the leader's hand and swipes it away from Yuna. The leader suddenly turns on Akira while Akira fists her bruised hand and stands up to the leader with a mad look.

Akira: Grrr!

Leader: What's that? You really want to take me on?

The leader and Akira both stare at each other with fierce about to have a round at each other while Yuna lays there watching when Negi's voice is heard in shouting.

Negi: Waaaaaaaaait!

Everyone turns as they notice Negi approaching with his hands up.

Negi: Don't do it! Don't do anything stupid, please!

Akira: Negi.

Yuna: He's here.

Negi arrives and starts flailing his arms up and down.

Negi: All right, whoever's been picking on my students had better stop, or else… I'll be unhappy!

Leader: Y-you're… the boy professor?

Senior Girl 2: Hey everyone! Come quick!

Senior Girl 3: Well will you look at that. He's so small.

Negi: Uh… who exactly are you people anyway? A-and why are you all looking at me like that?

Negi stands there while everyone surrounds him and silent for a moment.

Senior Girl 4: He's so cute!

Everyone piles on him fondling him and pulling on his arm as they try to glomp him.

Senior Girl 4: A 10-year old teacher!

Senior Girl 3: You're kidding! This is the 10-year old rumor we've been hearing about?

Leader: You're so adorable! You're like a real teacher, only miniaturized!

Senior Girl 2: He's almost too cute to function!

Senior Girl 3: I get dibs on him!

Leader: I was here first!

Senior girl 4: I want to touch him!

All the girls fondle over him as Negi is an agony.

Negi: Aghh! Not again! Girls, stop! Please! STOP! Aaaaaaaaggghh!

Suddenly, a volleyball approaches at fast speed as it closes up on the camera and hits the Leder's head and she turns around with a struck nerve.

Leader: All right, brats! Who wants to DIE!

Stood there Asuna in a stance assumed she threw the ball and Ayaka by her side as she catches the volleyball in her one hand as Asuna folds her arms and stares at them.

Ayaka: Sorry to interrupt but I believe this has gone on long enough. The young women of class 2-A come here every day, so I strongly suggest you old hags vacate the premises and go back to the high school grounds and think about why you so desperately want to recapture your youth. Too much physical exertion is too much for you to handle.

Senior 2: Oh yeah? Why don't you make us?

Negi: Eehhh… Ayaka…

Ayaka: *Leans forward on them* And another thing! How dare you lay your hands on my beloved little Professor Springfield! You had better-Yah!

Asuna: Okay, Ayaka! We get it! You like him, so shut up!

She says as she places her hand on her shoulders and shoves her aside to say something. The group faces head to head with the Mahora students.

Asuna: Ignore my less-than-sweet smart friend here. But the fact remains what she said; That just cuz' you're older does not give you the right to push us around. So you should get lost before I'm forced to kick you pale-blue skirted butts!

Senior Girl 3: My, those are big words… for somebody who still wears a training bra.

Leader: We've heard of you two, Asuna Kagurazaka and Ayaka Yukihiro. You may just be a middle schooler but you both already are notorious for being quite pigheaded.

Negi: Huh? I had no idea your reputations are so well known.

Leader: You both are quite renowned… The whole academy knows about that detective you two beat to a merciless pulp.

Negi: …

Ayaka: Agh! Excuse me, but the two of us did no such thing! That was all her!

Asuna: Hey! Don't play innocent, blondie! You were the one who was saying he was a peeping tom!

Ayaka: Grr…

Leader: And if I'm not mistaken, weren't you the one who broke… the statue of Mahora's first dean?

Asuna: That was the result of our class representative trying to prove how brave she was.

Ayaka: Argh! I just seemed brave because I was standing next to a coward who thought it was a ghost!

Asuna: You didn't let that keep you from throwing the final blow.

Ayaka: After which I generously donated a solid gold replica!

Asuna: Attacking gesture from an attacking girl!

Ayaka: How dare you!

Negi: …

Asuna * Ayaka: Grrrrr!

Leader: My point is… maybe if you listened to your elders, you wouldn't get into so much trouble. And at any rate, *Kneels on Negi and fondles him* you petty little greedy girls have been keeping this adorable little creature all to yourselves for way too long. It's our turn to play with him.

Another girl fondles with him as the leader kisses the boy on the cheek.

Ayaka then twitches and throws a fit. Then she runs to the leader to throw her arms off from Negi.

Ayaka: Aaaaaaaaaarrrgh! Get your cradle robbing paws off him, you creeps! Who would share with a bunch of grannies like you!

Leader: You want a piece of this, damned brat?

Negi falls to the floor after Ayaka threw the Leader's arm away from him as he falls and worries how bad this will turn out as there appear to be so much angry chatter as Ayaka and the Leader have a fist shove around and Asuna throws her fists at another senior girl. Makie, Yuna, Akira, and Ako watch in slight despair to see the fight getting out of hand.

Akira: We need to jump in and help them!

We zoom out to see the entire courtyard where the fighting is happening as Akira rushes in to assist, as well as Yuna wanting in on the fight while Makie and Ako stay behind and watch.

Negi: This is bad! What do I do? I've never dealt fights with senior girls! Aghhh! Huh?

Professor Takahata strolls by.

Asuna: Grr, you're going DOWN!

Takahata: All right, that is enough!

He says as he grabs both Asuna's and Ayaka's arm.

Asuna: Ah?

Ayaka: Huh?

Takahata pulls both Asuna and Ayaka away from the fight by the arms.

Takahata: You girls certainly are a liking for energy, I'll give you that.

Asuna: P-Professor Takahata.

Negi: Uh?

Takahata: Getting into schoolyard brawls is hardly the ladylike behavior I've come to expect from the two of you.

Asuna: Uh… Sorry, sir.

Ayaka: Yes sir…

Takahata: *Faces the other girls* And you there, I apologize for my former students' conduit. But then again, you older students should know better than to pick on middle schoolers, don't you think?

Leader: Ugh… Yes sir…

Everyone turns and leaves the area. Asuna remains speechless to see Takahata's power of leading the girls off campus. The leader and 2nd girl turn their heads for a second before they continue walking away.

Leader: Hmph!

Asuna: …

Takahata: Asuna.

Asuna: Ah, huh?

Takahata: You know I don't approve of fights among other girls.

Asuna: B-But Professor Takahata, they were the ones who started it!

Ayaka: Yeah! And they wouldn't leave when we told them to!

Takahata: Regardless who started it, throwing the first punch will only lead you to your defeat if you're not careful.

Negi turns to see Takahata scolding Asuna and Ayaka while the other girls are with them.

Negi: Incredible… Takamichi got them stopped in no time at all. I never could've managed that. Uh? *Sees Takahata approach Negi*

Takahata: You all right, Negi?

Negi: Um… thanks for your help, Takamichi.

Takahata: *Pats Negi's head* Haha, It's no problem. These kinds of things are pretty common. It has happened before. Try to be careful, okay?

He lets go and starts walking away as Negi watches and ponders his fingers together.

Negi: He's such a good and strong teacher. I'll have to use that influence next time this happens so I can do even better. I won't lose again.

After such a dangerous sight, we take us to the locker rooms where we first see a school blouse being unbuttoned as Ako is disrobing while turning her head to talk. She speaks as she removes her shirt through her arms.

Ako: Professor Takahata sure was pretty cool back there.

Akira: Oh, yeah. He sure was a big help.

Yuna: *Undoing her tie* This may sound a little mean but now THERE is someone you can rely on for help.

Ako: Huh?

Yuna: *Unbuttoning her blouse* Well... Negi sure was a little helpless while the fight was happening but… Takahata had it all in the ropes of his hands.

She says as she pulls her skirt down and puts on shorts while Ako undoes her skirt and takes it off.

Ako: Yeah but I feel we shouldn't always go to him. He's not our teacher anymore.

Yuna: *Looks down* That's true.

Ako: We should be fair and include Negi too.

Yuna: Yup. We should.

We close up on Konoka's stomach as she puts on her gym shirt. Then zoom out to see Asuna gazing with a blush.

Asuna: Professor Takahata is so good at what he does, isn't he? He has such a commanding presence.

Konoka: Wow. You still really got it bad for him, huh? Even after all this time. I thought you might have switched to Negi. He's cute too.

Asuna: Cute like an obnoxious baby brother maybe. But as a teacher, I'd say he's about as good as a pimple on prom night.

Konoka: Come on. Don't you think you're being too tough on him?

Yuna: She's got a point, Konoka. Even you have to admit Professor Negi's teaching style leaves plenty to be desired.

Makie: What'd you expect? He's only ten. It's not his fault.

Akira: Yeah I guess Professor Takahata was a little more experienced as a teacher.

Ayaka: You should all be ashamed of yourselves and here I thought you were such big fans of Professor Springfield.

Asuna: Cut him some slack. I mean jeez, he's obviously doing the best he can, guys!

The three of them sighed while Konoka laughed lightly.

Konoka: Asuna, weren't you the one who started this whole thing?

Asuna: So? That doesn't mean I can't end it too.

Konoka: Whatever you say.

Ako: With all seriousness you guys, it's almost the end of the term. *Pulling her shirt down in anxiety* So you wouldn't have to be shy or embarrassed to talk about things with... well, anyone in particular, Yuna?

Yuna: *Folds her arms* Someone very helpful... and cute too.

Makie: *Glare* Mmph!

Ayaka: Excuse me but don't we already have someone in that category? Why are you dismissing Professor Negi again?

Yuna: It was just a complexion.

Ayaka: Yagh!

Asuna: Hey enough gossiping, girls. We got volleyball on the roof today! Let's go!

At the stairs while everyone is climbing about to reach the top floor near the door.

Yuna: And of course of all the places we get just because the school doesn't have enough courts for all the students.

Makie: Pretty big to wonder why. I mean, the grounds are enormous, right? So, yeah. I don't know either.

Asuna: Let's just make the best of it. It's still a sunny day.

Opens the door and light shines through them as Asuna, Yuna, Makie, and Ako look out.

Asuna: Huh?

The rest gasp in surprise as the leader turns her head with a smirk holding a volleyball in her hands.

Leader: Well well... so we meet again! What a coincidence.

Asuna: Mmph! Senior Class 2-D!

We are back down at the teacher's lounge as we see Negi sitting on his desk doing some more paper work as he looks up and sees Takahata walking by talking to one of his students while he sits down and grabs one of his documents and discuss things with her. Negi puts his hands on his cheeks and observes.

Negi: Takamichi exudes such athority. I hope one day, I can come by with that sort of respect.

Shizuna: Professor Springfield. *Negi gaps as he looks up at her* I hear you had a run-in with the high school girls.

Negi: *Closed eyes* Ehh... Y-yes but Takamichi came to my rescue before things got out of hand. *Opens eyes* I'm trying my best to live up to his examples but it's so difficult.

Shizuna: Hehe, you don't have to try so hard, Negi. *Eyes closed* Abilities like Professor Takahata's come with age and experience. You can't rush those things. *Opens eyes* Worry about being the best Negi you can be and let him be the best Takamichi.

Negi: I... I-I'll try that. Thanks. You're very wise yourself.

Suddenly, Makie storms in through the door with Ako.

Makie: Professor Negi!

Shizuna looks over and Negi too and sees Makie and Ako rush in front of Negi panting.

Negi: Ah, what is it?

Makie: Come quick! It's those mean high school girls.

Negi: *Gets up* Again?

Ako:"It's free period and we got the roof to play volleyball.

Makie: We were about to play but they took our spot and they won't let us.

Ako: Please Negi, we need your help.

Negi: ... *Turns head to see Takahata* Takamichi...

He sees him still talking with his student.

Negi: ...Isn't the answer. I should take care of this. *Turns back to Ako and Makie* Come on, let's go settle this.

Makie & Ako: Right!

The three of them storm out of the teacher's lounge while Shizuna watches them leave. Then we are on the rooftop with a face off.

Leader: We were here first this time due to having self-recreational time! So why don't you all back off and go find a jungle gym to swing on, you tiny apes!

Ayaka: Gr! You're just doing this to get back at us, you jerks!

Asuna: The high school campus has a court reserved especially for you. Why do you keep coming all the way up here to use ours?

Leader: What difference does it make? It's all part of Mahora Acadamy.

Fuka & Fumika: You big meanies!

Yuna: You call yourself high school students! You're just spoiled brats!

Girl 2: Yeah well you're NOTHING but brats!

Ayaka: Come over here and say that you stuck-up wannabes!

Leader: *Steps forward* Why don't we settle this with a little rumble of good ol' butt whooping?

Asuna: Fine with me! You girls are asking it for good.

Negi: Time out! Time out I say!

He yells as he runs in waving his arms about.

Asuna: Negi?

Negi: What is going on out here?

Yuna: They took our court!

Girl 2: We were here first!

Yuna: It was reserved for us and they still keep invading our territory!

Leader: Actually… this is perfect timing, Professor Springfield because we do have a little problem.

Negi: Eh?

Asuna: Tch! I bet! *Folds arms together* You just want to make sure you win over our court.

Leader: Not quite. You see, our P.E. teacher never showed up. And so we thought we'd come over here and personally ask you to fill in for us as our substitute.

Negi: Eh!

Leader: We couldn't be even more excited so coming to this court was half our plan *Girl 3 grabs Negi to fondle* but we just wanted to get a chance to have you be our teacher for the day!

Ako: How can you be like that!

Ayaka began twitching and struck another nerve.

Ayaka: How dare you! You horrid witches couldn't stoop even lower than this morning! I swear if you don't release Negi at once-!

Asuna: You know what? I've had it with another Negi desiring moment with you outsiders. So let's do this already. *Asuna cracks her knuckles*

Leader: My... You sure don't hide your tough guy act.

Negi: Ah! What do I do? Takamichi isn't here. If I don't stop this...

The girls hair swings about in front of Negi's nose as he is about to sneeze.

Negi: Ah? Ehhh... ah... ACHOOOOOOO!

The wind blows hard on Negi's sneeze like a small tasmanian devil's twister being blown around the girls causing their high school girl's skirts to flap hard and some of them lifting while the middle school girls are being pushed back a bit. The next thing that happens is that Negi shouts in anguish with his eyes shut tight.

Negi: Eeeee-I forbid you all to fight! Ah…!

He regains his composure but blushes lightly with embarrassment. Then he turns to Asuna.

Negi: Asuna, everyone! No matter what your disputes are, Violence is never the answer!

Asuna: Ah...?

Everyone remains silent for a second while Negi ponders and thinks fast.

Negi: Argh let me think for a minute... *Light bulb pops up and puts finger up* Oh, I got it. How about we do this? Why don't we all share the court? We can all use it at the same time and have a round of volleyball against one another to settle this dispute. This way, we can all get some exercise and there's no need for quarrels.

Leader: Aah... Great idea. That sounds like a challenge. All right then, we'll have ourselves a tournament. If we lose this match, then we'll leave your precious court for good with a solemn promise never to return again. Agreed?

Negi: Eh? What?

Makie: That's very easy for you to say! You guys are a lot taller and stronger than we are!

Leader: Hmm... well you have a point there. You guys are definitely no match for us at volleyball. *Tosses the volleyball aside* We'll play a game where it pays to be a smaller target; *Catches a red thrown at her* Dodgeball!

Everyone gasps.

Leader: Heh. That's right. So how about this; There's eleven of us and we'll take on all of you! Twenty-two against eleven. How does that sound? We'll even throw in a handicap just to be fair.

Ayaka: We accept your terms. Hurling things at you sounds way more fun. *To Asuna* Right?

Asuna: Uhh... yeah! All right, you're on, Class 2-D!

Yuna: *Fists forward* Yeah! No regrets!

Everyone: Yeeaaaaah!

Leader: Hmph... Oh... and by the way...

Senior Girl 3 yanks Negi to pet him.

Negi: Wah!

Leader: If we win, we're taking Professor Springfield here to be our homeroom teacher from now on.

Asuna & Ayaka: WHAT!

Nodoka: Ahhhhhh!

Makie: They're going to take Negi? Noooo!

Time to get ready for the big game right after this break!

It's game time! First we see the radio being placed on the ground and the play button pressed so it is playing band music. Three clouds of smoke pop in the sky like fireworks and we see ponpons being shaken up by the three known cheerleaders Sakurako, Misa, and Madoka.

Cheerleader Trio: Go! Go! Let's go! Go! Go! Let's go, 2-A!

Madoka: Ready?

Chachamaru positions a large bazooka like tube over her shoulder and points up.

Madoka: Let's fire it up, girls!

Cheerleader Trio: Okay! Yay, Class 2-A! Wooooooooo!

While Evangeline sits against the wall with both her fingers covering her ears, Chachamaru fires the firecracker bazooka up into the air. Upon the huge firing impact, the missile flies high and hits a bird and the explosion was that big of a rocket launcher. Everyone remains silent as the cheerleaders froze in shock with tiny eyes and huge sweats while chacha and eva remain the same expression. The roasted bird falls straight to the ground with feathers falling off. The Cheerleader Trio was in shock.

Cheerleader Trio: Ahhh!

Eva: Nice, Chachamaru.

Chacha: Forgive my aim, everyone.

Nodoka: Waaaaaaahh!

Even Nodoka was in shock with a terrified expression.

Along the wall are Madoka leaning while Setsuna with her sword sit agains the wall and Zazie sitting on the wall with a crow on her arm as she watches. Kaede sits there as well while she watches.

Mana: Aren't you going to play too, Setsuna?

Setsuna: Mmm... Not worth it.

Scorekeeper Girl: Mahora Dodgeball Tournament!

Points to the right side as big texts appear onscreen identifying the team.

Scorekeeper Girl: Mahora Academy, Saint Ursulla Campus Senior High School, Class 2-D! *Points the other side* Versus Mahora Academy, Main Campus Middle School, Class 2-A!

The standoff appears as we see Class 2-D with the leader's smirk on their faces holding the ball and looking over at their opponents while the other team stands with confidence and determination.

Ayaka: This is a battle we absolutely must win. How about it? Ready to claim victory, Asuna?

Asuna: Oh you better believe it I am.

Negi: This is not good! If we lose, they'll take me... Mm... On the other hand, if we win, they might get along...

Image appears as he imagines the leader and Asuna hand slap each other with complements.

Leader: Hmph, you're quite good!

Asuna: You're not so bad yourself!

Negi: Chuckles Well you never. I could happen.

Scorekeeper Girl: Ready? *Raises her hand up* Let the tournament BEGIN!

Girl 2: Here it comes! Agh!

Girl 2 throws the ball as it aims for Negi's head. It hits him and bounces off.

Negi: Ack!

Ayaka: No! Negi!

Negi: Owie..

Asuna: Look alive, stupid! Agh!

Asuna caught the ball in the air before it hits the ground.

Asuna: Safe! Ha!

Negi: *Teary* That hurt.

Asuna: If you aren't liable to help us, then get out of the way, kid! *Holds ball up with angry look* Here I come, you hags!

Leader: Grr..

Girl 2: Damn!

The girls lean back while Asuna runs for a very hard throw.

Asuna: Eat this!

She throws hard as her bells ring and the ball smacks one hard.

Girl 7: SMACK Oof Owa!

Scorekeeper Girl: *Blows whistle* That's one out for Class 2-D! *Flips the card of 11 to 10* 10 members left, 30 minutes on the clock!

Asuna: All right!

Makie: Nice one, Asuna! Way to go!

Yuna: High five! *High fives Asuna* Haha!

Makie: Down low! *Asuna low fives Makie* There's definitely no one better than you in our team!

Ayaka: *Looks ahead at Team 2-D* We definitely got this. You shouldn't underestimate us just cuz' you feel so superior to us.

Asuna: Huh! *Points at Team 2-D* And the next move will be your fatal loss!

Leader: Hmph. Not bad, Asuna. But don't let it go to your head. We're still going to win and your little boy teacher will belong to us.

Girl 3: Hehehe!

Negi: Ehh...

The leader prepares to throw at the team.

Leader: Get ready, you sitting ducks! Prepare to be plunged one by one!

Haruna: She looks really serious!

Fumika: The strangest part is she really scares me!

Konoka: Me too! Pleases let me go hide way in the back!

Haruna: I'm heading there now!

Fuka: Wah, don't push! Fumika!

Negi: Wait, everyone! You have to calm down!

Leader: Heads up!

Throws averagely as the ball hits Haruna from behind the head, bounces on Fuka's head and onto Chizuru's back.

Haruna: Ow!
Fuka: Ah!
Chizuru: Oof!

Scorekeeper: *Blows whistle* That's three out from 2-A!

Three are out as Chizuru apologizes with her hands together, Haruna rubbing her head and Fuka getting teary.

Chizuru: Sorry, Asuna.

Haruna: Ugh..

Fuka: Owie..

Asuna: Aw man, you guys are hopeless.

Leader: How about an encore!

Throws it over her head as it hits on Kazumi on the head, bounces Satsuki's head and Konoka.

Kazumi: Ow!
Satsuki: Uh?
Konoka: Oof!

Scorekeeper: *Blows whistle* That's three out!

Konoka: Ohh, Sorry about that.

Asuna: Aw not you, Konoka!

Ayaka: Come on, girls! It's called Dodgeball! You have to at least try and dodge the ball!

Kazumi: We're practically crowded in here, Ayaka! We can't budge!

Ayaka: Huh?

We zoom out to see how team 2-A has an overly crowded amount of players huddles in their side of the court while 2-D has few. Even though in dodgeball you would have a big ring, they are using a volleyball court which is a little smaller.

Ayaka: Wait a minute, in Dodgeball, having more players gives our team a disadvantage?

Asuna: With so many targets out here, it makes it easier for us to get hit!

Ayaka: So our eleven player advantage is really a bad thing?

Asuna: So much for handicap.

Ayaka: You could've figured this out sooner you know!

Asuna: Me? You're the one who accepted their terms!

Leader: Hehehe.. You've realised it now, have you? If you cluster up like a bunch of chimpanzees, there's no point in trying to dodge!

Asuna: Everyone, don't bundle up! Spread out! Hurry!

Everyone spreads out of the court readying themselves to dodge.

Ayaka: That's what we should've done a long time ago!

As she runs to spread out, behind her appears Fumika teary and scared.

Fumika: Wahh! I-I'm scared! *Tries to run to the other side* Someone, save me!

Leader: Ah yes, I was counting on that! And now for my favorite part where I pick off the weak from the rest of the herd! Bwahahahaha!

Throws the ball very hard at Fumika as it smacks her head really hard.

Fumika: KYAH!

She falls flat on her face skidding against the floor.

Ako: Ah! Fumika!

Negi: That's terrible! Eh! Don't turn away from your opponent! Everyone keep moving!

Leader: Hehe! *Points forward* You're next, helmet hair!

Nodoka: Eeh!

Fei Ku: She's aiming for Nodoka!

Yuna: There's no way she'll dodge it in time!

Negi: Nodoka! Look out!

Leader: Take this, half pint! Agh! *Throws the hard ball aiming at Nodoka*

Yue: Bookworm!

Nodoka: Yaaaaaaahhhhh!

Nodoka shields herself with her arms. But Asuna leaps in very quickly and catches the hard ball with both her hands as she's being pushed back with Nodoka.

Asuna: Ooof! Ugh!

Haruna: Unbelievable catch!

Nodoka: Thanks, Asuna.

Asuna: Don't worry. I got your back, Bookworm. *Looks forward at 2-D* And don't turn your back on them or you will be targeted for sure.

Nodoka: Uh-Okay.

Yuna: Way to go, Dummy Red!

Ako, Makie and Negi: Yeah!

Cheerleader Trio: Way to go, Dummy Red! Way to go, Dummy Red! Yay!

Asuna: All right, I'll show you creeps true power of the Dummy Force! Bombs away! YYYYYAAAGH!

She throws her fastest ball at them as the ball curls around the wind aimed at the leader. But as she stood there confidentially, she caught it with her right hand in front as the ball spins roughly in her palm until it stops and smoke is shown.

Leader: Hmph.

Ako & Makie: Gasp

Negi: She caught Asuna's mannishly powerful fast ball with one hand!

Asuna: Don't call me mannish, Springfield!

The leader took the ball and shook her burned hand.

Leader: Heh, if that's what your sad team would call true power, I hate to say how uninspiring it sounds. I mean I can definitely see your manish qualities, but your power is sorely lacking.

Girl 2: There's no way you middle schoolers ever stood a chance against us from the start of this game.

Leader: In case you haven't figured it out yet, allow us to reveal our true identities.

Offscrean, the high school girls strip their high school uniforms in a flash throwing them in the air aside and show their athletic dress wear to them.

Leader: We're the regional champions of the Kantou's Dodgeball Tournament! The Mahora Academy's Black Lilies!

Everyone's in awe in surprise as Ako gasps lightly.

Negi: There's such a thing as a Dodgeball Tournament and they won it?

Everyone huddles around kneeling down talking to themselves.

Yuna: When did Dodgeball become a high school sport?

Makie: Yeah, I thought we stopped playing that since elementary school.

Asuna: How much are we willing to bet that they've entered this so-called tournament?

Leader: How dare you! It's a legit contest with plenty of teams! Haven't you ever read sports news articles!

Negi: *Claps* Oh wow! That's very impressive.

Asuna, Yuna and Makie: Negi!

Negi: What!

Leader: Gr, these kids are getting on my nerves! *Turns to Girl 3* Shii!

Shii: *Nods* Hm!

Leader: *Turns to girl 2* Vivi!

Vivi: *Thumbs up and grins* Heh!

Leader: Let's show them our TRUE power! Time for our famous Triangle Attack! Let's do it!

Shii: You got it, Eiko!

Ako: Giggles

Makie: Giggles Hehe, did she say 'Triangle Attack?'

Yuna: Haha, how can she take this so seriously?

Ayaka: Professor Springfield, I shall lead the defense!

Negi: Uh?

Ayaka expresses her duty to Negi with roses in her background.

Ayaka: Come on now, attack if you dare! As class representative, I am honored to shield Negi from your most heinous attack!

Eiko: Fine then! I'm aiming for your motor mouth!

She lifts the ball into the air and Eiko leaps upward grappling the ball, spins, and throws it hard.

Eiko: Triangle Attack!

Ayaka: Ah! *Dodges from the left*

Vivi: Take two!

She catches the ball and swings the same as she spins and aims at Ayaka again.

Ayaka: Yah! *Dodges from the right*

Shii: And three! Uugh!

She hurls it fast at Ayaka as it hits her cheeks hard.

Ayaka: Yagh! Ugh! *Falls to the floor and tries to get up*

Asuna: Ah man! Even class representative got hit.

Yuna: Ayaka, you're like the worst bodyguard ever!

Ayaka gets up and rubs her head.

Ayaka: "Damn it. I couldn't see where the next ball was coming from. It's that damn triangle attack. So that's why they call it that.

Ako: Cuz' they come at you from all three angles at once!

She says putting her fingers like a triangle formation.

Eiko: Allow us to demonstrate it one more time if you're that curious to know. Triangle Attack!

She leaps up and throws it hard forward as it passes between the spread players.

Eiko: One! *Hits Natsumi in the forehead*

Shii: Two! *Throws it at Chisame from behind as she falls to the floor*

Vivi: Three! *Throws at Misora from the shoulder as she trips and falls*

Eiko, Shii and Vivi: And Home!

Scorekeeper: You! You're out! 11 to 10 now! 20 minutes remaining!

The scoreboard shows 11 to 10.

Makie: Ah no! How are they so good?

Ako: They've caught up to our handicap already. This doesn't look good guys.

Yuna: Mmm! This bites!

Makie: At this rate, we're probably never going to beat them now.

Eiko: Heh.

Asuna: Never give up! It ain't over yet! We are not quitters! You hear me?

Makie: Eh...

Eiko: Asuna Kagurazaka... *Sneers* Give it a rest...

Asuna: Hm?

Vivi tosses the ball to Shii as she bounces it high up and Eiko runs forward.

Eiko: And just get eliminated already!

She leaps into the air with the sunlight in front of her.

Asuna: Ah!

Eiko: Special Attack!

Asuna: I can't see her!

She says with her arm over her eyes trying to see.

Eko: Hm!

She bashes the ball hard with her fist downward.

Eiko: SOLAR FIST!

The ball fasts in and hits Asuna from the arm.

Asuna: UGH! *Falls over pushed back hard*

Ako: Asuna!

Negi: Are you okay?

Nodoka: A... Asuna...?

Eiko lands on the ground and sees the ball bounce off high into the air and comes down. She then heads for the ball for a second throw.

Eiko: I know she's technically already out but I just can't resist! Yagh!

She grabs the ball, spins, and hurls it at Asuna with a second hit on the arms.

Asuna: Agh! *Covering herself while kneeling*

Nodoka: Ah!

Negi: T-Twice?

Ako: You can't hit a girl when she's down! It's uncalled for!

Eiko: Quit your whining! Good sportsmanship is an excuse for losers to get pretty little ribbons! The Mahora Black Lilies are only in it to win it no matter how it is achieved!

Negi kneels before Asuna checking to see if she's okay and she shows her bruises.

Negi: Asuna, how are you feeling?

Asuna: Heh.. It's nothing really. A little bump, that's all.

Makie: You sure you're not hurt? You're bruises look pretty bad.

Asuna: Please... I can take it.

Negi turns to see the opposing team while he's mad.

Negi: They did that on purpose... If they want to start playing dirty…, then so be it.

He extends his arm below and chants silently.

Negi: Ras tel ma scir magister.

The strong wind blows behind the team and starts forming a tiny twister around them.

Eiko: Wahh!

Vivi: Hey! What's with the wind?

Negi: Incibium confestim vis magica-Oof!

Asuna bumps his head with her fist lightly.

Asuna: Lay off the magic, buddy. Don't get any stupid ideas. You hear me? Otherwise, we are no better than them.

Negi: B-but… But they…

Asuna: *Determined* I don't care what the reasons are. There's no glory in winning a match unfairly. *Turns to Negi with determination* If you're a real man, you'll win it fair and square!

Negi: Ah...

Both look at the opposing team as they look clueless about the wind.

Asuna: Just brush yourself off and face them again. *Turns to him again* You can handle that, can't ya?

Asuna grunts as she gets up and brushes her knees off.

Ako: Asuna...?

Asuna: Sigh Sorry everyone... *Walks out of the court waving* Go get em' girls!

They watch her leave and begin to worry as Ako begins holding both Makie's hands.

Ako: Ohhhh, without Asuna on our side we won't have a chance at winning.

Makie: There's no way we can compete with them. They have so much experience.

Negi: ... *Looks down as he thinks* Experience...

He remembers Shizuna's thoughts as she speaks in his head.

Shizuna: Abilities like Professor Takahata's come with age and experience. You can't rush those things. *Opens eyes* Worry about being the best Negi you can be and let him be the best Takamichi.

Negi: ... *Turns head to opposing team with determined look* Hmm.

Eiko: So then, are you babies ready to wave the white flag?

Makie: Whimper

Ako: Well... guess it's all over for us.

Makie: Uh huh.

Negi: *Stands up* Never give up, girls! Never!

Eiko: Huh?

Everyone gasps, even Nodoka and Yue in the back. Negi turns to his team and speaks up.

Negi: Didn't you hear Asuna? If you turn away and run, you'll only be targets!

Everyone remains silent for a second. Negi continues speaking with determination.

Negi: We can win, but only if we play to our own strengths, not theirs. Yes we are younger than them, yes we are inexperienced, but we have abilities they don't; talents that make us unique. But if we don't use them, then what's the point? I say we face the enemy head on and give it our best shot!

Everyone blushes lightly awed by his speech.

Ako: Professor Negi...

Yuna: Negi... I..

Makie: Mmmmm! He's right! We can't surrender to the enemy! If we did, then they'd take our homeroom teacher hostage! And we can't have that, can we! Huh?

Yuna: No way!

Ako: No! Not without a fight!

Fei Ku & Lingshen: Yeah!

Negi smiles at his team being inspired.

Sakurako: Right on! That's the spirit Class 2-A!

Cheerleader Trio: Victory! Go! Go! Class-2A! Wooooooooooooo!

Mana kneels down next to Setsuna smiling while Setsuna smiles with her eyes closed inspired by Negi's speech. Asuna looks back smiling at Negi while Ayaka is dazzled over his big motivational speech.

Asuna: You're all right after all, teach. You really gave them the swift kick in the shorts they really needed.

Yuna: *Grapples her fists* All right, I'll definitely hit em' this time!

Makie: *Determined* I've got to give it my best too for Negi!

Ako was facing forward before turning her head back at Negi with slight guilt.

Ako: ...I'm sorry ...about saying you're unreliable, Negi. I hope you can forgive me for that.

Makie then shouts after raising her fist up.

Makie: Come on, girls! Let's play!

Everyone: Yeeeeaaaaaah!

They face the enemy as we see Lingshen and Fei Ku in their martial arts battle stance and everyone else standing there with their determined looks and cheerful expressions while the two librarians remain in the background and the only scientist, Satomi, aside as well with her own determined look.

Eiko: Oh brother. They're so dillusional, they think they can still win this. Haha! Like they ever have a shot against The Black Lilies.

Shii: Don't worry boy professor! We have your high school text books waiting for you!

Nodoka begins thinking to herself with her hands together while her bangs hide her face.

Nodoka: ... *Looks down* I wish there was... something... I could do to help...

Eiko: You little brats have guts. But you also have some nerve to drag this massacre any longer than you have to. It was pointless to ever go up against us in the first place and now we will-

Nodoka: FIVE SECOND RULE!

Eiko: Uh?

Nodoka: It's against the rules for a player to hold onto the ball without throwing it for more than five seconds.

Yue: You can just pass that ball back over to our side now.

Vivi: You can't just make up rules as you go along, nerd!

Nodoka: I... didn't make it up. *Holds up her sports book* I keep this book of sports rules with me during free period just in case.

Fei Ku: Right on! You tell them, Bookworm!

Yue: *Blows whistle* Come on.

Eiko: Grrr...

She then tosses the ball down the middle of the court as it bounces to 2-A's side. As it rolls closer towards Nodoka, it is stopped by Akira's fast foot as she looks forward with fierce determination.

Akira: I'll go first. Leave this to me.

Nodoka: Ah! All right!

Eiko: Ha! This outta' be good for a few laughs.

Akira stares off for a few seconds before she kicks the ball up with her feet and suddenly catches and immediately throws a fast ball deliberately pass Eiko.

Eiko: Ah?

The ball intentionally misses to throw the team off as it nearly passes Shii and hits another player.

Girl 4: SMACK Ah!

The ball smacks on her shoulder and falls to the floor.

Scorekeeper: You're out! That's 10 to 9!

Cheerleader Trio: Yay, Akira! Wahoo!

Team 2-A cheers for Akira.

Negi: You got her!

Nodoka: That was great, Akira!

Fei Ku: We finally got one! Way to go!

Akira: *Thumbs up* Hm!

Yue: *Blows whistle* Defense, everyone!

Vivi: Don't get so cocky over a weak elementary throw like THAT!

She runs forward aiming to throw the ball at Ako.

Eiko: TAKE THIS!

She throws the ball as it is headed for Ako at fast speed.

Ako: Mmmmmmmmm!

Zooms close on Ako's nervous face being targeted.

Ako: YAHHH!

She critically reacts and kicks the ball back at the player.

Vivi: Uhh? Wah!

She barely steps out of the way of the incoming ball but instead hits another player behind her.

Girl 8: Aahh? SMACK Aaaaaaaah!

The ball smacks her in the face and causes her to fall on her back sliding slightly back.

Ako: Hmph! Into the goal!

Yuna: That's our soccer MVP! What a break through!

Ako: *Eyes closed* Haha, I'm just the manager.

Yuna: Oop!

The ball bounced off Team 2-D back to 2-A and Yuna atches the ball.

Yuna: Ha!

Girl 8: Damn! I can't believe I was taken out by a child!

Eiko: They're a bunch of amateurs! *Looks at Yuna who has the ball* That was nothing but luck!

Yuna was silent with a mad yet determined look before she starts dribbling the ball in place heading towards Team 2-D.

Team 2-D: Gasp

Eiko: What the!

Shii: She's dribbling the ball!

Yuna: Hmph!

Giving them a light smirk, she approaches the team as they appear in for a surprise when Yuna suddenly slams the ball straight onto the ground and bounces high up into the air. Yuna then leaps with her hand high up.

Yuna: And it's a SLAAAAAAM DUNK! *Smacks the ball downward at Girl 5*

Girl 5: SMACK AGH! *Falls to the side*

Eiko: Damn it!

Yuna: Yeaaaaaaaah!

Fei Ku: Atta girl, basketball champ!

Eiko: Why you... Uh?

She sees the ball coming down the middle of the court as Eiko aims to reach for it.

Eiko: Waaaaaarrrgh!

As Eiko jumps to reach for the ball, it is suddenly grabbed by Makie's ribbon and curled all around it.

Eiko: Uh?

Makie swings the ball like a whip chain hitting 3 players simultanously.

Makie: Hahahahaha!

Eiko: Come on! Now that has GOT to be against the rules!

Makie stops and brings the ball back to her and looks ahead determined.

Makie: All is fair in brawn over BRAINS!

She then hurls the ball forward as still tied around the ribbon as it comes undone and spins roughly like a top and curls around Eiko and hits Girl 11 on the far corner.

Girl 11: Ow!

Vivi: Unbelievable!

Scorekeeper: You're out! 10 to 6 with 10 minutes remaining!

Fei Ku: Way to go, Dummy Pink!

Makie: Hahaha! I might have gotten carried away a bit.

Fei Ku then looks up at the ball coming back again.

Fei Ku: Looks like we get another shot!

Lingshen: Want to team up for a double-attack?

Fei Ku: You got it!

Lingshen: Then let's do it!

Both take each other's arm and martial arts stance as they ready for a double kick.

Linghsen & Fei Ku: Chinese Bucket Double Attack!

Both leap forward at fast speed and kicks the ball as it curls in corkscrew fashion and hits Girl 9.

Girl 9: Ack! *Hits her in the leg as she trips and falls forward*

Eiko: Noooo!

Fei Ku high fives Lingshen.

Fei Ku: We rocked!

Lingshen: Totally!

Eiko appears angry as she holds the ball now.

Eiko: All right, it's time one of you is out again! *Points at Satomi* And you'll do!

She runs forward readying for another hard throw.

Eiko: You're history! Ugh!

She throws an extremely fast ball directly at Satomi while she stands there aimlessly.

Linghsen: Look out!

The ball was suddenly grabbed by robotic arms behind Satomi.

Satomi: I may not be a sports person but this'll be perfect to test out my latest invention!

Eiko: *Sweat drop* Wha?

Her robotic arms raises over Satomi as her her ball machine backpack emerges behind her. The ball is placed inside by the robotic arms and a sensory scope equips itself in front of Satomi's left eye as she analyzes the firing range.

Satomi: Lock on target! Three, two, one, FIRE!"

The ball machine blasts the ball twice the speed as the thrower like a speeding bullet and hits Girl 10 in the stomach.

Girl 10: Ooooowaaaaaaaaah!

The ball pushes her entire body so fast and…

CRASH!

right against the wall. The remaining 4 watch with huge sweat drops on their heads as the hit girl collapses onto the ground with circly eyes. It leaves Eiko in shock.

Eiko: ...No ...way.

Satomi: Hehe. Sorry about that. It still needs some bugs to be wired.

Lingshen: *Strolls in by her* You had the switch on rocket speed. Just set it to average.

Satomi: Oh, hahaha! My bad!

Scorekeeper: The game is still on! 6 minutes remaining!

Negi: All of you are doing great! Let's keep it up!

Everyone: Yeeeeaaah!

The game continues to drag as we see Nodoka continue reading her sports rule book while Yue continues coaching blowing her whistle. The remaining 4 members of the Black Lilies continue getting fiercer as they throw the ball. Akira throws the ball, Vivi catches it hard, Vivi throws it at Makie as she dodges it while having fun, Yue passes the ball to Yuna and she throws another slam dunk but misses. Vivi throws another hard ball but Ako kicks it back at them. She misses but Eiko then throws it at Nodoka as she was barely looking and she manages to catch it and is pushed back hard by her hard throw. Negi steps behind her and holds her back to cease her being pushed back. Nodoka looks back and blushes to see Negi behind her and Yue watches with smiles. Negi encourages Nodoka to try and throw the ball and with determination. She does and she misses but she laughs for her effort as well as Negi while they look at each other with eyes closed and smiles. Asuna smiles and the rest sit back and watch the game as the Lilies still in the game and 2-A laughing and dodging and throwing back and forth for the remaining of the game. Lastly, Nodoka goes for another try and Shii catches it. Shii throws it hard, Satomi slaps it back with her robotic arms and hits Girl 6 on the shoulder and falls to the side. Finally, we look at the scoreboard 10-3.

Scorekeeper: *Blows whistle* Time's up! Game over! 2-A wins!

Makie: We did it!

Yuna: We won!

Makie: Wahoo!

They scream as they both raise ther hands up high. The whole team cheers while Nodoka feels relieved.

Nodoka: Th-Thank goodness. We won.

Yue turns and nods with a smile. Meanwhile, The Lillies kneel in defeat and exhaustion.

Eiko: Ugh! No way! How could we lose?

Asuna gets up and runs to Yuna for a double high five.

Asuna: Darn well played, Yuna!

Yuna: Haha!

Eiko glares at Asuna and speaks softly and furiously.

Eiko: It's not over yet... not by a long shot... *Picks up the ball* Asuna... Kagurazaka.

While the crowd continues cheering, Negi looks to his side and notices Eiko about to try something drastic.

Negi: Ah!

Eiko: *Throws the ball up high* Hey, girls! We've still got... *Leaps up high* OVERTIME!

Akira: Asuna!

Ako: "Look out!"

As Asuna turns around slowly, she notices herself as the target a third time. Just when Eiko smacks the ball toward Asuna, we zoom in on her eye. As it transits to white, the ball smacks on Negi's hand as he makes his fast step protecting Asuna from the fast hard ball as it keeps spinning roughly in his hand.

Asuna: Ah?

Negi: Ehhh!

Eiko: Eh?

Asuna: Negi, you...

The ball keeps spinning roughly with force.

Negi: Mph! Th-this sort of behavior... against my students...

Wind bellows around his aura and suddenly releases a strong gust as he pushes the ball back at Eiko with strong magic source.

Negi: IS UNACCEPTABLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Eiko: Eeeh! Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!

As Eiko tries to block the ball with her hands, the strong wind blows against the three remaining teamates as Eiko is pushed all the way back against the wall taking Shii and Vivi with her.

Eiko: Yaaaaaaahhhh!

CRASH!

The three crashes against the wall and collapse with circly eyes. Everyone remains silent as they are astounded by Negi's move as Negi appears with tiny eyes and shocked by his own strength and at the same time embarassed.

Negi: Ah... Oh dear... I'm... so sorry...

Makie: Whoa... *Everyone cheers* That was awesome, Negi!

Yuna: Where'd you learn that kind of move? What's that one called?

Ako: That was incredible, Negi.

Yuna: Hahaha, it would've been cool if you'd have done that sooner. That was totally amazing.

Negi turned gloomy with the background being gloomy as he looks down.

Negi: Uhh... And after all I said about violence not being the solution.

Just then, Asuna nudges Negi on the head.

Asuna: Hey, tough guy!

Negi: Ack! *Looks up* A-Asuna?

Asuna: Hehe, well aren't you the hero today saving my butt like that.

Negi: Uh?

Asuna: That was very cool of you. I really owe you big time for that one. Thanks for the help.

Konoka: He's our new champion of Mahora's Dodgeball Team of Class 2-A! Here's to our beloved Professor Negi!

Negi: Huh? Wha? Gaaaaahh! *Negi was lifted and tossed into the air as a cheer*

Everyone: Hurray for Professor Negi! Hip hip hurray! Hip hip hurray! WE DID IT!

Cheerleader Trio: Class 2-A! Class 2-A! Class 2-A! WAY TO GO! FORMAL VICTORY! YAY Class 2-A! Hip hip HURRAAAAAAAAAAY!

As they were cheering, the three defeated Lillies lie on the ground with Eiko's eyes circly and Shii dazzled and unconscious.

Eiko: This is crazy... we just... couldn't lose to them... we're not... losers...

Shii: Uhhhhhh...

Team 2-A stands before the defeated Lillies while Eiko looks up.

Eiko: Uh?

Ayaka: Yahahahahahaha! Whoever said age before beauty obviously never played dodgeball!

Eiko regains her conscience and stands up glaring at Ayaka.

Ayaka: Ah?

Eiko: Mmmmm!

Asuna: Hey, back off! We won!

Both Eiko and Asuna glare at each other and don't say a word. Negi begins to worry as he stands in the middle of a predicted fight.

Negi: Oh no, not again...

Suddenly Eiko snatches Negi and snuggles his face.

Negi: Wah!

Eiko: One week... No, just three days! That's all we ask! Please let us burrow him for a little while?

Asuna & Ayaka: WHAT!

Eiko: *Snuggles Negi* I mean he's so adorable, I could eat him up with a spoon! And his lil' cheeks are so soft and cuddly and-Oh! I just want to put him in my purse and carry him around!

They all watch her inexplicable behavior as Ako speaks to Makie.

Ako: Close your eyes because she sounds just like Ayaka.

Makie: It's uncanny, really.

Ayaka: Urgh, I can hear you two!

Asuna then answers to Eiko.

Asuna: Out of the question, Eiko! You can't have him. Negi is our homeroom teacher.

Konoka & Nodoka: ...

Negi & Eiko: ... *Eiko turns her head down with small tears*

Ayaka: I second that! So go find some other teacher to kidnap!

Eiko: *Grapples her fist* Do any of you have any idea what it is like to come to school every day first thing in the morning to a professor like… this guy?

She asks as she reaches for a photo of her hideous professor with a bad hairdo. This causes everyone to be grossed out, including Nodoka and Konoka with sweat drops from their heads.

Asuna: Uughh.."

Ayaka: Egh... Well that is really... uhh... unfortunate for... you.

Eiko embracing Negi as she mesmerizes.

Eiko: Oh those dreary days would be much more bearable if only we had this piece of cuteness as our teacher! *Spins around with Negi* At least I'd have someone to gaze solefully at who wouldn't make me want to gag!

She kneels before her imaginary pictorate idol of how Negi would be as admirable as an english professor writing with a feather pin surrounded by roses in the background. The imaginary image still shows to the team while they remain speechless with sweat drops on their heads. Ayaka then shows her similar expression with teary eyes and hands together.

Ayaka: I know just how you feel my sister!

Asuna: Ah!

Eiko: *Takes Ayaka's hands* Ayaka, you're an angel.

Ayaka: And you as well.

Suddenly, both stare at a photo album book Ayaka has.

Ayaka: These are some of the photos of Negi I collected, here.

Eiko: Oh look at that one! It's so precious, I can't even take it!

Ayaka: This one's my favorite! Isn't he cute when he's sleeping?

Eiko: Super cute!

Ayaka: Yeah, when the light hits his dimples like that!

Eiko: Oh Yeah! So much more!

Asuna: *Eyes closed* Giggles

Negi: Asuna, I wanted to thank you too.

Asuna: Oh? What for?

Negi: It felt good to hear you call me... *Looks down a little shy* your homeroom teacher.

Asuna: Uh... *Looks down with eyes closed* Well... I had no choice, really. I mean... figured you were having a hard enough time surviving as a middle school teacher. So there's no way you could cut it into high school.

Negi: Mm... no, I guess not. Not yet, anyway.

Asuna: Then why are you smiling like that? Of course I'd rather have Professor Takahata instead. But I'm making a deed because we're stuck with you and that's the only reason.

Negi: *Eyes closed* Hm.. Right, of course.

Yuna: Hey you guys! There's still time to play volleyball before next class!

Makie: Come on, Professor!

Negi: Hahaha! Be right there! *Turns to Asuna* Let's go play, Asuna.

Asuna: Sounds great. Come on, Konoka!

Konoka: Right behind you!

Negi: *Looks back* Aren't you two coming along?

Ayaka & Eiko: Ah!

Ayaka: Yeah! Wait for us!

Eiko: We're coming!

Negi: Hahaha!

Negi runs along to play with his classmates. Shizuna and Takahata peep through the door to see how things are.

Shizuna: Well well... Negi seems to be getting popular around here now.

Takahata: Haha! Maybe so. But from the looks of it, I'd say he's more a friend to them than a teacher. But maybe that's best as well... but he's still got a long way before getting as good as he is.

Shizuna: Hehehe... That's right.

The remaining of the scene shows Negi playing Volleyball with the entire class of 2-A and 2-D finally getting along.

Gosh, quite a long battle can finally be put to rest with ending credits!
