"It's just like that time, he's…" The demon stated.
But was stopped and Takeo pulled his fist back and swirling both wind and lightning around his palm.
"Shinsei-Fu: Hayate Jinrai!"
Takeo punched forward while he twisted his fist, Takeo fired off a large combined spiraling blast of wind and lightning at pointblank range. The demon was sent flying through the forest, Takeo breathed outwards and he relaxed his body.
In that instance he felt a slight pain go through his head, he placed his hand on his head and started to calm himself down. He turned around and started feeling a sudden magical turbulence.
"That feels like Negi-Kun, wait that Dog-Boy and…" Takeo said, his eyes started to twitch. "…another demon!"
Takeo pressed his foot against the ground and jumped into the air, he started traveling through the air using Void Instant Movement.
"She failed to mention that there was another demon." Takeo stated, as he gritted his teeth. "…huh."
Takeo turned around and saw something speeding towards him, in seconds the demon appeared in front of him with its fist in front of him. The disappeared wind out of thin air, he traveling higher towards the sky.
"Odd, I thought an attack like that would take him out." Takeo said to himself. "Alright, I'll just try this."
He turned around and saw that the demon was still pursuing him, he sighed and charged at the demon with his fist clenched. Once they collided, the released a large pulse of force as Takeo was pushing his fist forward.
He gathered all the energy from his Hariken Rakurai, he began gathering more lightning around his fist.
"Fulmine Cadens De Trorum. A Flash of Lightning, a Crash of Thunder, I hereby call forth the Spirits of over One Thousand Lightning Beasts, come from Heaven, Flow through my fist and subjugate me Foes! Thunderbolt Impact."
Takeo pushed his fist forward and fired off a large blast of lightning, which first paralyzed him though the demon was still fighting back. Takeo's eyes glowed red and they both traveled through the air in the shape of a lightning bolt.
At the theater, Evangeline turned around and saw the lightning coming towards them.
"Hmm, it seems they were both able to master those spells." Evangeline stated, with a smile on her face.
Negi and the other turned in the direction and saw the lightning bolt coming towards them, once it vanished Takeo landed behind them with his back turn.
"My ancestor actually fought an army of those things." Takeo stated, as he turned around. "Alright, can someone…"
Once Takeo turned around and his face immediately turned red, after seeing that Yue, Azami, Fu and Nodoka were naked.
"Why're you four naked?!" Takeo asked, as he covered his eyes.
The four of them blushed and attempted to cover themselves.
"Wait, Ta-Kun. Where'd you come from?" Setsuna asked, as she looked at him. "And why're you injured?"
Takeo looked away and saw that Kotarou and Negi were covered in injuries.
"Wait, why are here?" Takeo asked.
"I came here to help Negi." Kotarou answered. "Uh, Takeo-Nii-San."
Takeo started scratching his head, and began thinking over what happened tonight. Just as he was lost in thought his phone started ringing.
"What?" Takeo asked.
[Now, don't be so testy.] A women's voice came over the phone. [I just wanted to know if you were alright.]
"I'm pretty sure I have the right to be test!" Takeo responded, with an irritated expression. "Why didn't you tell me that there was another demon?"
[Because, that trial wasn't for you…it was for Negi-Kun.] The women answered, in a playful tone.
Everyone around him was confused about who he was talking to, especially his partners.
"How do I know if I can trust you? When I've never actually met you." Takeo asked.
The women on the other end of the line, started humming a song to herself.
[Because, even if the whole world turns against you. I'll always be there for you.] The women stated, in a cheerful tone.
Once she hung up, Takeo placed the phone back in his pocket.
[Unknown Tropical Island]
At a tropical location, a young beautiful women in her 20s lied under an umbrella, with pure white hair, blue eyes and wearing a white bikini. She smiled and placed the cellphone on the ground, and stretched.
"Magia Alethea, huh." The women said, with an impressed smile. "As you beautiful Oba-San, it's my job to make sure you grow up strong."
A shadow stretched over her, she looked up and opened one of her eyes.
"Waah, Nee-Chan you're in my way." The white-haired women complained.
Standing over her was a women who looked like her, except for her black hair and blue eyes. She looked down and glared at her with an annoyed look.
"Stop acting like a child, Mizuki!" The black-haired women demanded.
"Stop being so serious, Nee-Chan." Mizuki responded.
The black-haired women sat down next to her twin sister, and looked towards the sun.
"Are your sure about this?" She asked, with a worried. "About interfering like this."
"Stop being such a worrywart, I'm not the only one showing interest in him." Mizuki stated. "Plus, I'm not interfering…Hikaru-Chan."
Mizuki smiled at her sister, which she returned. Both sisters looked at the bright sun together.
[Near Mahora Academy]
Takeo, Asuna, Konoka and Setsuna was walking alongside near the World Tree, Setsuna looked at him with a curious expression.
"Who was that?" Asuna asked, breaking the silence.
"My Handler, every Mage are given one if they're given a Freelancing Job." Takeo answered. "She's the one who gives me my assignments."
"Wait, does she know?" Konoka asked.
"She know I didn't do it, and I'm sure she didn't know what was going to happen either." Takeo answered.
Setsuna continued looking at him, with a slightly angered expression.
"I'm sorry, Se-Chan." Takeo said, as he turned towards her. "It was something I had to do, that doesn't mean I don't trust you guys."
"R-Right, Ta-Kun." Setsuna responded, with a slight smile.
"Aw, Se-Chan." Konoka said, with a smiled. "You two must really like each other."
Both Setsuna and Takeo blushed at her comment, Takeo looked away and saw Haruto, Haruki, Nariko and Yukiko running into both Negi and Kotarou. He smiled as the six kids began talking into each other, with smiles on their faces.
"It's good for those six to finally act like kids." Takeo thought, with a smile on his face. "I hope they never lose those smile."
Takeo's hand started moving on its own, and the black markings started making their way to his forearm. Yukiko turned around and her eyes gleamed slightly. She held her hand out and Yukihime appeared from its interdimensional storage.
Which terrified both Negi and Kotarou, she looked towards Takeo and threw her sword at Takeo while it was still sheathe. Yukiko started making hand gestures, with a trail of bluish white light following her finger.
"Yukimura Sword Technique: Exorcising Strike."
Yukihime glowed with the same light, and the swords bottom hilt attack smashed hard against Takeo's forehead knocking him unconscious. Setsuna, Asuna and Konoka were left dumbstruck and slick jawed as Takeo fell backwards.
As Takeo was lying on the ground unconscious, Yukiko appeared next to him and retrieved her sword with a near emotionless expression.
"Yuki-Chan, why did you attack Takeo-Kun?" Konoka asked, as she looked at Takeo's unconscious expression.
"Yuki-Chan?" Setsuna asked.
She looked and saw Yukiko pointing at Takeo's arm, Setsuna looked and saw the dark marks receding.
"What is that?"Setsuna asked, whispering towards Yukiko.
"Revenge." Yukiko answered, whispering back. "That curse is feeding off his desire to kill the ones responsible for the massacre of everyone in that village. And his hatred towards his uncle is added onto that."
Setsuna looked at Konoka as she was trying to wake Takeo up, but to no avail.
"Ta-Kun's hatred towards them, is it really that deep?" Setsuna asked.
[Many Hours later]
Negi, Setsuna, Asuna, Konoka, Nodoka, and Yue were walking towards the Classroom. Both Setsuna and Yue were in their own conversation.
"So, you're saying those marking were encroaching his entire forearm." Yue said, as she started thinking. "I'll try searching the Arcanum for something, but Takeo-San's curse is that strong."
