" Viginti telum offendo iam,"yelled Negi.

Eva pivoted out of the way as she used her dark shield to deflect the bolts.

"Not very convincing attack there boya. Hope you can do better because...your life depends on it," exclaimed Eva.

"Professor what are you going to do?" asked Nodoka.

Negi did not hear Nodoka as he was thinking of a spell that could do some damage.

"Olympus quod Terra certamen per ventus construo a ventus telum ut pierce," recited Negi.

A giant wind spear shot toward Eva. Eva eyes were wide open and she managed to avoid the total damage. A little slice through her palm was seen as it instantly healed.

"Not bad kid. Getting there slowly, but still not good enough. Inconcessus abyssus tribuo mihi a atrum res convello quicumque est ultra mihi," spoke Eva.

All the dark matter flew at Negi and Nodoka. Nodoka being the most vulnerable as Negi dove toward her and covered her up as Negi would take most of the damage.

"Foolish boya. If it was a full power spell you would have been killed and she would have had to face whoever it was that killed you. In her frame of mind, she would not have lasted a minute," lectured Eva.

Nodoka looked up at Negi, but Negi had his eyes closed and not moving. Nodoka blushed.

"Eva-chan, he is not moving or opening his eyes," said a concerned bookworm.

"WHAT?" yelled Eva.

"Master you have overdone it again," chimed Chachamaru.

"THE HELL I DID. IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE SPELL. I...he deserved it if he could not handle a simple spell," said Eva a little concerned.


"WHAT THE...HELL DID SHE DO TO HIM?" yelled Asuna.

"It looks serious," said Konoka.

"He will be alright," said Yue even though she was a little worried.

"The hell he will be. We need to get out of here and help him," said Asuna fidgeting with the cell bar.

"That kid better be alive," whispered Chisame.

"What did you say?" asked Haruna.

"Nothing...absolutely nothing," steamed Chisame.

"Each cell has been fitted for each of us. Not one is alike. It looks like Eva-chan knew what our weaknesses are," said Setsuna.

"Why what kind of cell do you have?" asked Konoka.

Setsuna shivered, "Looks kind of ecchi in here. But the bars are made firm enough to not be able to cut through."

Asuna tried to bend the bar.

"Apparently her cell you cannot bend the bar," smiled Haruna.

"Mine and Paru-san's are magic proof. What about chisame's cell?" asked Yue.

"I...really...hate this. I do not know. My glasses are not here so I cannot see well in the near dark," replied Chisame.

"Well idiot feel your bars," snickered Asuna.

Chisame reached one of her cell bars and touched it. A little electrical voltage came out when she touched. She immediately pulled her hand back.

"Okay it is an electrical system," sighed Yue.


"Weakling are you boya? Was that all it takes to knock you out? My, my!" cackled Eva.

Nodoka looked straight up at Eva with intent to kill eyes. Eva stopped laughing.

"You truly do not think you could even come close to hit me Miyazaki-san?" asked Eva.

Nodoka ignored her and plopped down next to the falling Negi. She took his hand into hers and felt a pulse.

"How touching!" smirked Eva.

Nodoka looked up at Eva, "You really are...a bitch."

Eva's face got red after hearing that word. Of course she was hard on her disciple. He was weak. His partners needed to know something similiar with the rose could happen at any time if they chose to stay with Negi.

"How dare you call me that?" said a mad Eva.

"I thought one of the most evil people in history should not be mad by just being called something," spoke Nodoka.

"You are a very rude girl," responded Eva.

"Rude? No Eva-chan I am far from it. I speak from the heart. Remember you use to have one of those. All of us know that being with the professor can and will be dangerous. Life is a risk in general. The more you pile on in life the riskier it can get. After all you have lived hundreds of years. You, more then anyone, knows how hard life is. Negi-sensei is trying his best. He is not like his father I imagine. He is just a ten year old boy wanting to become what his father is and to search for him. If you cared about his dad at all, you will help Negi fulfill his wants," lectured Nodoka.

"Who the hell you think you are bookworm? This why I am precisely doing this. Life with him is making it interesting. I would hope he can last a while so I will not get bored," said Eva.

Negi regained consciousness and opened his eyes. He and Nodoka blushed as she let go of his hand.


"Negi-kun looks like he regained consciousness," said Konoka.

Haruna quickly intervene, "Now go kick her ass."

"I really do not think he can hear you," quipped Yue.

Chisame was thinking, "This cannot be real. All has to be a dream. Let it be a dream."

"Now that we know he is alive, we need to get out of here." sternfully Setsuna said.

"So we have two regular cells base on Haruna-san's and my weakness. We have one electrical cell that is keeping the idol over there in her cell." As she points to Chisame. "And one cell you cannot bend the bar and another you cannot cut the bar. And yet Setsuna-san was able to keep her sword. Why?" asked Yue.

Asuna worried about Negi, "I DO NOT CARE WHY. I JUST WANT OUT OF HERE!"

"What we need is a plan," thought Setsuna.

"No kidding Duh!" responded Chisame.

"You heard me thinking?" asked Setsuna.

"No but I have observed you in class and you make that face when you are trying to figure something out," responded Chisame.

"What we need is cooperation. We need Asuna-san's magic cancellation to get Chisame-san out. We need Chisame-san's hacking ability to get Setsuna-san out. Looks like its a computerized lock. Then we need Setsuna and her sword to cut Paru-san's and mine bars," logically thought and said by Yue.

"There is a problem? Who will get me out?" spoke Asuna.

"Oh yeah!" blushed Yue.


"Master, I do not care what will happen to me. But, you will never harm those girls. You may not think they are and will ever be worthy of being my partners. At least outside of Asuna-san, Konoka-san, and Setsuna-san. But the others do not have the heritage that some possess. They are trying their best to help. I know that," said Negi coughing.

"Do you? You really trust them enough now? I highly doubt it. After all you keep spouting that your their teacher and have to protect them. I think in your heart you do not believe in any of them," chuckled Eva.

Negi's face turn into a cold stare as Eva shrieked a little. "Come on boya then," said Eva.

"Ventus Deus of volo tribuo mihi ut vox," recited Negi.

In a flash Negi was near Eva. Eva barely managed to evade. Eva counterattacked with a high kick to Negi's chest. Negi put his arms up to deflect the blow. Negi crouched low and tried a leg sweep. Eva jumped up into the air.

"Atrum deus of Glacies pango," softly spoke by Eva as her hand had a ice hammer.

"Dea of levitas tribuo mihi tectum," asked Negi as a lightning shield was in front of him as Eva's hammer was about to swing at him.

When her hammer made contact with his shield both parties blew away.

Eva landed next to Chachamaru and Negi landed farther away almost to the edge of a cliff.

"That boya has the power. To think that quick on his feet," smiled Eva.

"Master are you alright?" asked Chachamaru.

"Certainly I am alright," as Eva got up unsteadily.

"Negi-sensei, are you alright?" asked Nodoka.

Negi spit out some blood and dirt. "Yeah never better."

Eva dashed at Negi with her speed and started throwing her fist wildly into Negi. Negi tried to block most of her shots. Especially those to the face. Negi went down to one knee to the ground as Eva was still hitting him.


"It is becoming fairly obvious that they are not here," said the slighty eyed tall ninja.

"You think so?" asked the chinese martial artist.

"Yes! It is strange that not one has a trace of where they went. I asked the other classmates and not one has seen them all day," said Kaede.

Ku Fei responds, "That strange."


"Why are you so cruel to Professor Negi? Are you that vindictive against his father that you need to tortue his son? Are you that unhappy?" asked Nodoka.

Negi fell flat faced first onto the field as Eva looked coldly at Nodoka.

"Master I think you have made your point," Chachamaru flatly responds.

"I am far from making my point. They do not know what is in store for them. They think its all rainbows, fairies, and unicorns playing with their magic. It is a cruel and harsh world where this boya's father and I came from. He (as ever points to the falling Negi) and the rest need to open their eyes and never be his partners," lectured Eva.

"I have chosen to study my artifact and help Professor Negi anyway I can. I would gladly defend him against the evils," said Nodoka.

"Oh really? Against evils? Like me?" asked Eva with a devilish smile.

"I know you were evil at one time, but you have changed and so have a lot of us in our class. Eva-chan you may be harsh, but after all you are fair. But, to treat him like that is unforgivable," said Nodoka.

"Unforgivable? And who made you judge and jury? I could break you in half without lifting a finger," smiled Eva.

"I...know you could, but you will not. Even without my artifact I can see you care for him. In your own way of course. I will protect him from you if you insist on going any longer," replied Nodoka.

"Oh miss bookworm has a backbone. I do not care about my disciple at all. It would be boring though if something did happen to him," said Eva.

"You girls knock it off (cough). I am fine Nodoka-san (Cough). Master let us continue," said Negi dusting off himself.


"You think Eva-chan took this too far Dean?" asked Shizuna.

"She oftens does take things too far, but after all she will protect him," responded the Dean.

"How can you be so sure?" asked Shizuna.

The Dean winked.
