The Keys of the Kingdom HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Turbo Hyper Champion Edition Gold.
By OverMaster and Shadow Crystal Mage.
Dramatis Personae.
Negi T. Springfield: A ten year-old prodigy graduate from Wales' Merdiana Academy. Negi is a mage in training, assigned by a magic diploma to serve a stint as a teacher in Japan's Mahora Academy. Now the homeroom and English teacher of Junior High Class 3-A (Girl's School Side), Negi has gotten himself embroiled in several conflicts that have, more often than not, demanded for him to establish Provisional Alliances or 'Pactios', with his students, something he's still morally troubled by.
Negi is a studious, yet naive young gentleman who knows a disturbing amount of foreign swear words, but hides a frustrated, overbearing side of himself and is obsessively focused on finding his long father Nagi, a feared mage best known as 'the Thousand Master'. For some reason, he's never wondered whether a mother might have been part of it at some point.
Hasegawa Chisame: Negi's first roommate and Pactio partner at Mahora. Chisame is no-nonsense, stern and gruffly motherly teenager who hates getting herself tangled into Negi's magical pursuits, yet won't allow him to embark on them on his own either. Chisame also hides a side of herself known only by Negi, Satomi, Chamo the ermine, Misora and Cocone; secretly she is the ultra popular, peppy and sexy Internet idol known only as 'Chiu'.
Chisame is a master hacker and computer guru whose idea of a good time is locking herself in her room to work at her webpage while Negi sits nearby. Much to her distress , she's almost as popular with boys and girls alike as Negi is, despite popularity sort of being the point of idols, and she even has her own dedicated stalker, Tsunetsuki Matoi.
Kasuga Misora: Negi's second Pactio partner. An orphan who was left on the doorstep of Mahora's Mary Magdalene Church, where she was raised as an apprentice in the ways of the Magical Nun. Misora is an adorable coward and slacker who regardless has fallen in love with Negi hard enough she'll always try her best for him, even if she's scared out of her wits.
Her Alliance with Negi grants her a set of super-speed shoes that make her capable of incredible feats of velocity, mostly used for running away. Misora is deeply convinced of the existence of the Judeochristian God, although she's willing to conveniently forget the parts of Catholicism that imply falling in love with your ten year-old teacher is on the sinful side.
Hakase Satomi: Negi's third Pactio partner, and his and Chisame's roommate. Satomi is a brilliant but scatter brained scientific genius mostly specializing in robotics and aerodynamic vehicular design, with some amateur sex toy construction on the side. She's the co-creator of lovable robot girl Karakuri Chachamaru along with Chao Linghsen, and she treats Chachamaru as her spoiled daughter.
Satomi has a strong physical and sentimental attraction towards both Chisame and Negi, but she has settled in a tentative romantic liaison with Shiina Sakurako regardless. She and Matoi dislike each other, thinking of themselves as rivals for Chisame's attentions. Satomi's Pactio gives her a set of mechanic arms that infuse her with super strength, making her an effective short range grappler and brawler.
Kakizaki Misa: Negi's fourth Pactio partner. A wordly, fashionable girl usually only worried about money and boys with good looks until she started caring about Negi and began taking things more seriously. She still retains a 'party girl' personality, and is ferociously competitive with Ayaka, Misora, Haruka and Chisame in their competition for Negi's attentions.
Misa is a cheerleader and an excellent singer, and is seen by the Mahora student body as one of the most desired girls in campus, granting her the social status of a widely admired Queen Bee. However, within Negi's Ala Alba, she doesn't get a lot of respect. Misa's Pactio consists of a set of throwing light needles, able of piercing through nearly everything. Those needles, upon impacting a living being, have the effect of lightening up their spirits, inducing nearly mindless glee, most often conveyed through uncontrollable laughter. Misa's father is a show business enterpriser knowledgeable about the world of magic.
Kaguraka Asuna: Negi's fifth Pactio partner. Like Misora, Asuna is an orphan with a mysterious past. She was all but adopted by professor Takamichi T. Takahata, on whom she's held a precocious crush ever since her childhood. Asuna is strong and athletic, a loyal friend and a never-say-die type, but she's academically incompetent and often oblivious to facts, although she still has lots of basic common sense and a down to earth personality. She claims to hate children and only tolerates Negi, but since she's one of the few Ministra not in love with him, he knows he can resort to her as an impartial confidant and big sister figure.
Asuna is Konoka's roommate and best friend, and a bitter childhood rival with Ayaka. She likes older, masculine gentlemen over younger and more delicate boys. Already gifted with an enigmatic endurance against magic, her Pactio grants her with a massive spell-cancelling paper fan that can be changed into a just as gigantic sword she swings around with no apparent effort.
Shiina Sakurako: Negi's sixth Pactio partner, and Satomi's official girlfriend. Her dream is marrying Satomi and having children with her, with Negi being the sperm donor and possible partner on the side. She's a happy go lucky girl with eclectic tastes and an incredible luck, making her virtually unbeatable at any sort of gambling and games of chance. She's best friends with fellow cheerleaders Misa and Madoka.
Sakurako's Pactio Artifact is a set of cheerleading pom-poms that, through waving and matching chanting, can alter probabilities around herself, making her a valuable boon to her allies on the battlefield. Her older cousin is a famous literary author, but also a savant with crippling learning disabilities in everyday routines. Sakurako also owns three female cats, Felicia, Yoruichi and Blair.
Suzushiro Haruka: Negi's seventh Pactio partner. The Vice President of Mahora's Student Council, in constant odds with the more popular and beloved President Fujino Shizuru. Haruka is a strong minded, often stubborn young woman who will always says whatever is on her mind at the time, regardless of whether or not she can pronounce it, or if it's actually the right word. The daughter of a heartless mogul, she grew to hate him, and she has an unyielding, black and white sense of morality and duty. Her demanding traits make her disliked and feared by most students, but she's fiercely loyal to those she considers her friends and will never abandon her post.
Already a self-trained strong woman before her Pactio, through it she channels inhuman amounts of raw power, making her the physically strongest of all Ministra, with only Madoka approaching her level. In that state she can also attack using a titanic spiked mace. Her childhood friend Yukino was recently lost in Mundus Magicus, and Haruka has sworn she'll find her. After kissing Negi accidentally, she insists they are engaged in marriage so he can clear her maidenly honor.
Saotome Haruna: Negi's eighth Pactio partner. A young woman filled with love towards all those around her, but she only knows how to express it through ways that make everyone believe she's a pervert. She's also a pervert. She grew up in a large home filled with all sorts of sincere but strange love, marking her outlook on life forever. Her father, a devoted martial artist, trained her as a fighter once it was clear he wouldn't be getting a male heir and her mother wouldn't let him give her a magical sex-change, but Haruna would rather be a sequential artist with a keen eye for erotic design, and an accomplished librarian and book lover.
A girl with a modern heart, deeply devoted to her boyfriend Rito but also willing to engage in sensuous pursuits with those she regards as her comrades for life. Haruna's Pactio gives her a drawing set that can make her creations come to life magically, allowing her for a wide variety of attack and defense functions. However, any damage her creations get will also impact negatively upon herself.
Yukihiro Ayaka: Negi's ninth Pactio partner. The class representative of Class 3-A and Makie's roommate. Ayaka is, much like Haruka, dutiful and mindful of authority, but tends to implement her power in subtler, less imposing ways, making her a woman of the people despite her aristocratic origins. Her only enemies are Misa, her rival in love, and mostly Asuna, whom she's been clashing with since Asuna's arrival at Mahora years ago. Despite her quirks of occasional gullibility, Ayaka is a respected leader both in the campus and within Ala Alba, as long as her strange tensions with Asuna and her over the top affections towards Negi aren't getting the best of her.
Her mother is a Mundus Magicus battle mage who married a Japanese businessman, and Ayaka has a natural affinity for magic which might even approach Negi's if she trained it hard enough. As it is, she stands happy to remain one of his lieutenants. Ayaka is a skilled equestrian and outstanding student, well read and cultured. She loves roses and refined things. Her Pactio consists of a powerful whip, although it is less versatile than other weapons at Ala Alba's avail.
Akashi Yuuna: Negi's tenth Pactio partner. Her father is Professor Akashi Wataru, the Master of Caster in the Holy Grail War. Yuuna and her father love each other dearly, growing mutually dependent after the death of Yuuna's mother Yuuka, who was Wataru's Ministra. Like her mother, Yuuna has a Pactio Artifact consisting of a set of handguns shooting magic canceling knockout projectiles.
She's a sharp tongued young woman who is well aware of her sexuality, is not above teasing others with it, and lost her virginity in a lesbian tryst with a parallel world version of a friend of hers. Despite that, she won't commit herself to actual relationships easily, and claims she needs to find someone who is as reliable as her father. She's actually in cahoots with Skuld and Chao behind the backs of the rest of Ala Alba, thinking it's in everyone's best interests to reveal magic to the world at large. Yuuna is a bit of a neat freak and hates sloppy behavior, something she'll sometimes rant at Makie about.
Hasegawa Sora: Negi's eleventh Pactio partner. A mousy, mild mannered and shy college student, and Chisame's older sister. She's never had a boyfriend, and used to pine hopelessly after a sophisticated playboy who never even noticed her. Sora is painfully insecure of herself, claiming to be a failure at everything but mechanics, where she's as accomplished as Keiichi. What hurts her the most is thinking of herself of a failure as a big sister, exasperating Chisame, who can't help walking all over her without even trying.
Sora is even smaller than her teenaged sister, with little in the way of breasts, a freckled face, and terrible cooking skills. Her Pactio Artifact is a wondrous vehicle she can drive through land, air or water and unleash a myriad of different attack types upon her foes, but she's too much of a pacifist to make an effective use of it. Used to be a student of Nekomi Tech Institute until she moved to Mahora along Keiichi, so she could help Chisame and Negi.
Konoe Konoka: Negi's twelfth Pactio partner. The sole granddaughter of Mahora's Headmaster Konoe Konoemon, daughter of his daughter Kouko (often nicknamed 'Konoeko') and Nagi's old friend swordsman Eishun, adopted into the Konoe clan. Neither of them knows it, but she and Yuuna are cousins since Eishun and Wataru are brothers separated since their earliest childhood. She also has a half-sister, renegade young biker and brooding delinquent Kuga Natsuki, daughter of Eishun and shady researcher Kuga Saeko, who disappeared years ago. Natsuki is protective of Konoka from a distance, but Konoka has no idea she's her sister.
Konoka is a cheerful, optimistic girl deeply in love with her 'bodyguard' Setsuna, but is not above teasing others, Setsuna included, for her own entertainment. She hides an overwhelming magical potential that could greatly surpass Negi's given enough training. Her Pactio grants her a set of ceremonial fans that greatly boost her already impressive healing magic, making her Ala Alba's default White Mage.
Sakurazaki Setsuna: Negi's thirteenth Pactio partner. Setsuna's mother was a member of the crow demon tribe from the Japanese hillside, a race of ancient creatures in slow decline due to mankind's ravages upon nature. Her father is David Cain, globetrotter killer for hire and also father to Lady Shiva's spawn Cassandra and Tsukuyomi, the daughter of a wayward Aoyama. Tsukuyomi and Setsuna were adopted by the Konoes, but a psychotic fit of young Tsukuyomi upon Konoka made both sisters fall into disgrace in Kouko's eyes, something Konoka has never fully forgiven her mother for.
Setsuna devotes her life to Konoka's service almost obsessively, thinking herself to be unfit of her company as an equal, no matter what Konoka says on the contrary. Setsuna is a prodigy of the sword, gifted with superhuman skill and speed, which she puts to good use as an unofficial guardian of Mahora's borders. Being half-crow demon, she also has wings that can be deployed to allow her flight, although she hates doing so out of a sense of shame and self disgust. Negi's alliance granted upon her a magical sword that increases her fighting efficiency even further. She is currently training Asuna in the ways of the blade, and she's developed a good friendship with her.
Cocone Fatima Rosa: Negi's fourteenth Pactio partner. She's Misora's roommate, fellow nun in training, and best friend. Her appearance is that of a little girl, but she might actually be older due to coming from a mysterious race of Mundus Magicus inhabitants. Exactly how old is she, nobody but she knows. She's a girl of scarce, measured words, quiet and responsible, hard working and always looking after Misora. Misora ignores it altogether, but Cocone is in love with her, something everybody else, even Negi, is well aware of.
Cocone is a good student and has several good friends in her Elementary class. She hates wearing shoes and goes without them at any given chance. Through her Pactio with Negi, she has access to a small cross that allows her to summon devastating divine lightning from the sky that might not actually be magical in origin.
Kugimiya Madoka: Negi's fifteenth Pactio partner. Another cheerleader, Misa and Sakurako's friend and roommate. Madoka is a common sense individual who can easily grow exasperated over her friends' extreme quirks. She has a complex over her slightly husky voice, which she thinks to be masculine and ugly. She has romantic feelings for Kyon-sempai from the S.O.S. Brigade club, moving her to serve the Brigade and their deranged leader-president-dictator Suzumiya Haruhi for a few months.
Currently, she's Haruhi's mole in Ala Alba, something everybody in Ala Alba is aware of because Haruhi told them herself. Madoka's Pactio with Negi allows her access to a huge mallet and superhuman strenght surpassed, within the ranks of the Ministra, only by Haruka's. The Pactio also puts her in a skimpy battle bikini, which mortifies her to no end.
Itoshiki Nozomu: Negi's colleague, homeroom and Social Studies teacher to High School Class 3-F, 3-A's sworn rivals. He's far better than Negi at hiding his secret status as a dark mage, and out of all of his students, only Ai, Matoi, and the carefree Ooda Kanako are aware of it. Itoshiki is a morbidly depressed man with a worrying obsession towards his own destruction, but a curse/blessing placed upon him from birth by his father prevents him from ever dying from anything but old age. Much to his regret, he's still a young man. During his childhood, along Takahata, he was a tagalong kid to Nagi's Ala Rubra team, where he fell in unrequited puppy love with Negi's mother, Princess Arika. Due to this, he holds some level of paternal love towards Negi and considers himself honorbound to protect him to the best of his abilities, despite him having no faith at all in said abilities.
Itoshiki has abysmal self-esteem and makes a drama out of everything, thanks to his pessimistic, self-defeating attitude. Despite everything, often it seems like his repeated and useless suicide attempts are more of a way to call attention upon himself than a genuine desire to end his own existence. He can control darkness by using a wooden ruler as his magical catalyst. His relationship with Takahata is a strange one; Itoshiki seems him as a rival of sorts despite thinking himself hopelessly inferior, but Takahata only thinks of Nozomu as a good, even if patience trying, friend. His family is very powerful both magically and economically, and his younger sister Rin studies at England's Clock Tower, pretty much like another talented snarking girl named Rin.
Kaga Ai: Itoshiki's Pactio partner, who learned his secret accidentally through Negi and Itoshiki's conflict with vampire witch Evangeline A.K. Mc Dowell. Ai is an extremely nervous girl who will blame herself over anything and everything. She was born in a small ninja village hidden in the mountains and actually has ninja training, but she's never brought it up because she thinks she's bad at it, because she's afraid of hurting others badly, and because the original canon hadn't revealed she was a ninja when she was first written into this story.
Ai loves her teacher very dearly and, like most of 3-F, finds the fact anyone, much less the rest of the school, could be in love with Negi perplexing, although she won't say it aloud. She's decided she'll aim to become Nozomu's wife after she's graduated. Her Pactio with him allows her to use a magical umbrella she can control water with, generally in the form of massive water blasts or bubble shields.
Skuld: The Norse goddess of the future, who joined Negi's class as Student Number Thirty Two after helping them defeat Amagasaki Chigusa during their trip to Kyoto. Skuld has a hidden agenda to free her sister Belldandy, kept a prisoner by humans in Mundus Magicus, and part of her grand plan involves allying herself with Chao Lingshen to reveal magic to the world behind Negi's back. While on Earth, Skuld assumes the pretend family name Jottunsdottir. Skuld has little magical powers herself, but she's an expert on mechanical engineering and programming. She can easily create devices challenging human understanding out of mere household junk, and if given access to the Yggrdasil Net, from which she's cut off at the time, she could perform genuine feats of massive reality warping, although those tend to be forbidden by her superiors.
Skuld has the appearance of a cute thirteen year old girl, but she's actually, like her sisters, older than mankind itself. She loves ice cream, and she's Yuuna's new roommate, driving her crazy through her habits of piling mechanical pieces and half-built artifacts all over their apartment.
Morisato Keiichi: Skuld's first Pactio partner, and in a prior life, soul mate to Belldandy. Back then Skuld hated him for stealing her sister's attentions away from her, but now she'd rather prefer for him to remember her. Sora's sempai at the Nekomi Motor Club, where he fell in unrequited love with campus diva Mishima Sayoko. Morisato is short for his age (and unlikely to grow any beyond this point) and rather unlucky, but he's reliable and has the most laid back, easygoing and reasonable overall attitude of all the boys in Ala Alba.
He's a master racer, and his Pactio reflects that, allowing him to drive literally anything, even normally immobile objects, he can attach his steering Wheel Artifact onto. He can drive those objects as well as he'd handle a motorcycle or automobile afterwards. He has a set of loving parents he's very attached to, making him a rarity in Ala Alba, mostly made up of people who were orphaned or distanced from their families (save Haruna and Makie and, to a lesser degree, Ayaka). He's also got a little sister, so he can bond with Rito over being the foolish big brother to the smarter Imouto.
Sasaki Makie: Skuld's second Pactio partner. Makie actually stole a kiss and Pactio from Skuld when she thought she'd need an Artifact of her own to survive through the Kyoto crisis. She thinks Negi is the cutest thing ever, but she might be falling in love with Skuld and/or Keiichi lately, instead. Even though Skuld treats her harshly and with little patience, Makie is very devoted and admiring of her and her cuteness. Makie is friendly and open, but also terribly dense and hates studying. Her thought patterns are often strange, to say the least, and she follows her own kind of twisted logics.
Makie is an expert gymnast, and her Pactio consists of a set of gymnastic tools she can use to deceivingly strong effect in a fight. However, her actual talent relies on firearms, much to everyone's surprise, and her skill at shooting greatly surpasses Yuuna's with a surprising depth of pragmatic ruthlessness to match. She was taught about guns by her 'mother' Homura Akemi, a loving but cold woman with a mysterious past who moved in with Makie's biological mother after the Sasakis' divorce. Makie still gets to see her father (and the little brother left in his custody) often, and they love each other very much, too.
Lala Satalin Deviluke: The firstborn princess of the galactic empire of Deviluke. The Devilukes are a warrior race descended from the demons of Venus; while normally only a mage could provide the Magister Magi for an Alliance, enough of Lala's lineage was kept pure for her to retain enough demon blood as to make it work. Lala is a friendly and approachable young lady, but her upbringing has left her with a curious lack of concern or regret for all those her father's conquests have massacred across hundreds of planets. If asked, she'd just tell you those were sad but necessary losses in the search for a peaceful and unified galaxy and then ask you if you want to play. She's pure hearted enough, in her own way, to be the only person cosmic tyrant Frieza has any degree of genuine fondness for, as they were childhood playmates and would occasionally blow cities up together. In her mind, if you're her friend, she'll always protect you no matter what.
Lala loves Rito, Ayase Yue and, to a lesser but still very meaningful level, Haruna, and she thinks of them all as her spouses. She has no nudity taboo and will usually prefer walking around in the bare until she's told otherwise. She's a technological genius to rival Satomi and Skuld, and a powerful hand to hand combatant to boot. Has two younger sisters, twins to each other; the mischievous and seductive Momo and the fiery, self-assured Nana. They're currently on their way to visit her on Earth.
Yuuki Rito: Lala's fiance and Pactio partner. He's been in love with Haruna for years, and much to his shock, she agreed to be his girlfriend after finding the love letter he'd written to her and would most likely never deliver personally or otherwise. Afterwards, he unwillingly became Lala's husband-to-be when he grabbed her tail. He's been looking after his little sister Mikan since their parents pretty much abandoned them in Mahora, although eventually the wiser and calmer Mikan pretty much ended up the surrogate mother to him and their troubled cousin Nao.
Rito's a bundle of hyperactive nerves and tends to overreact about everything. He's bad to mediocre at most things he tries, but he has a skilled hand for carny tricks, an undeniable competence in football, and an impressive mastery in gardening, which he also loves. Fittingly, his Pactio with Lala presented him with a magical watering can that can make any plant grow supernaturally, and he even can use them to attack others or defending himself. His clumsy habits to often trip and fall on girls and accidentally glomp them have made most students derogatorily call him 'the Perverted Beast', although he only has eyes for Haruna. He's mildly jealous of Haruna's affection towards Negi, and insecure of Haruna's intimately physical relationship with Lala.
Emiya Shirou: The adopted son of Kiritsugu Emiya, the Magus Killer, occasional partner of Nagi Springfield after the dissolving of Ala Rubra. Originally born in the doomed city of Fuyuki, when it burned in the last day of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Shirou was rescued by Kiritsugu and raised in Mahora. Shirou grew up admiring his father and when he died, Shirou decided to become a Hero of Great Justice himself, no matter the cost. However, Shirou's magical capacities are mediocre at best and abysmal at worst; his only known talents lie with reinforcing and projection, and he could only become a Magister to Saber because of their previously existing link as Master and Servant.
He's a good sword fighter trained by his sensei Fujimura Taiga, however, and he's also an accomplished archer. Shirou's somewhat dense and bull-headed, slightly out of touch with his peers and endowed with a set of values more befitting the previous generation; regardless, his heart's always in the right place, he greatly values sll life besides his own over all things, he's loyal to a fault, and he'll go out of his way to help others no matter what. He's also a great cook and he's hung like a horse.
Saber (Artoria Pendragon): Shirou's Servant and Pactio partner. The youngest daughter of Uter, King of the Britons, after her father's death she was raised as a boy, a humble, downtrodden squire in Sir Ector's castle. Found and taught by Merlin, the greatest mage of his era, Artoria became King of her homeland after drawing out Caliburn, the sword in the stone. Her kingdom, full of wonder and prosperity, came into decay, and then ended ignominiously under a rebellion headed by her son Mordred. Who was just as much of a man as she was. Summoned back into the world, first in the Fourth War by Kiritsugu and then in the Fifth by Shirou, Saber fights on to ask for a wish to save her country even at the cost of her own life.
Even while diminished through Shirou's shortcomings as a Master, Saber's power as a swordmaster is all but peerless, and she most likely could defeat the rest of those listed here, all banded together, all on her own. Shirou's lack of proficiency as a conventional magus means their Pactio hasn't given her a specific Artifact, but has blessed her with easier access to her Noble Phantasms and an increased set of stats. Saber is serious, reserved, a tactical genius and capable both as a leader and a follower. Her main character flaw is her willingness to endure everything by herself tends to alienate and distance those around her, often making her unrelatable to others. If Shirou's hung like a horse, she eats like one.
To be Continued.
