i have made the omake in a new story, and I will write them there in the future.

Kuro: "Though, it's still too light for him"

That's just the beginning, my friend.


If there's a list of things she hated, the very top thing would be her own class. She couldn't even count that as one, but instead it's a group of weirdos. Some of them looked like they repeated years after years, then the 'Baka Ranger' as the others dubbed, and for some reasons very intelligent geniuses were stationed here. At least the others were okay, enough, to balance her sanity.

But then, here goes the teachers. Before then, her homeroom teacher was Takahata-sensei, and he had every qualification to be one. But now? Her class got two main, well, one homeroom and one assistant. However, the homerroom one was a 10-for-crying-out-loud-year-old boy, who can't even take care of himself. At least he had the manner and did his job right as an English teacher. The assistant, though... Either he lost his mind before and his mind reduced to his earlier days, or he was the biggest troll of the entire Academy.

First, he claimed to be over a hundred year old, and it's because of time-travelling? That sounded stupid, and it ONLY made sense if they're in some kind of fantasy world, which this world was CLEARLY NOT! And then he said he had three, THREE, girls as his wives. What kind of place has he gone to, to manage to do so? Some kind of third-world areas? And that girl as well... his GRANDDAUGHTER? She's around our homeroom's teacher's age for... Frustrated, that's how she felt. Not only that, he had an... what he called it? Exoskeleton? Just to prove he could travel to the future? And... too many things, TOO MANY THINGS so wrong about him...

"One of the worst teachers I have ever known." Chiu pressed 'Send' on her chat. Maybe the only thing that could calm her down was this, her own website. Hope there's nothing worse...

*Ting* Hm? Private message? From whom? She opened another tab to see the message... From a person called Naho? Wait... wasn't she the one on that paranormal show or something? First off, why would she call me? They're not in the same line of work. And second... she's not one into stuffs like hers... but it's impolite to not answer her... Let her see what this girl wanted...

"Hello, miss Hasegawa." She froze after reading the first words. How did she have her name? She hid that detail very well! "Don't worry about how I know your name. It's not in public, so your identity is safe. And it's making it easier to ask about something in Mahora." That would make things worse! "So, this is something I can't public yet, because this is just a rumor. However, I want to ask about the 'empty seat' in your class." HOW MANY INTEL GOT LEAKED OUT? "Can't really ask your reporter in your class, it would make things too complicated. Anyway, I think you have heard of that rumor?" She swore in her mind, that if that's really a real story... "Somewhat, it's true." DAMN IT! "Though, I guess these words are a bit much to you, so I won't say anymore. Though, I ask you to be careful, since we don't know what kind of ghost that person is. We will reach Mahora in a few days and deal with it. In the meantime, thanks for reading my message, and see you in the future."

... Once she has done reading, she closed the tab... Not only her name was leaked out, luckily only that girl knew, but now she said there was A GHOST, in her ALREADY CRAZY CLASS? Where was her normal life as a normal school girl thrown to? Maybe it's lost after she joined this class...

But, that girl will go to Mahora? Just for a small rumor... maybe she shouldn't judge the girl now. She didn't really know much about Naho, all she knew was how the girl reviewed herself publicly. *Sigh* That's enough for the internet. Maybe she would take a rest now...


The next day

"The rumor?" "Yeah. You know anything about it?" Why did she do this?

She's asking the worst person about the worst topic she could have picked up.

"Um..." The 10-year-old boy answered: "I... don't know? What's that about?" "It's about the empty seat, the one everyone gets a chill every time they take a sit. So, instead of 'A room that shouldn't be entered', it became 'A seat that shouldn't sit on.'"

"Oh? And why was you suddenly interested in it?" Chisame nearly jumped up in surprise as Asakura appeared behind her. The three were standing outside of the class during the break.

She tried to divert it: "Well, it suddenly came in mind, that's all."

The reporter just laughed at that. "Really? Did that just come from you?"

She blushed a bit in embarrassment and annoyance. "Don't judge me! I could join something new too!"

"Though, that rumor wasn't really that popular. Why do you need to bother about it?" Just in time for the other teacher to join the conversation.

Should she just talk about the message? Maybe... "Someone re-told me about it. Maybe you two know them." She's pointing towards Asakura and Kuro.

The two blinked, as Kuro asked back: "I might know that person?"

"The girl appeared something on shows about mystical events..."

And immediately Asakura asked: "NAHO? You know Naho?"

She's a little surprised at how surprisingly fast the reporter jumped on her. "Hey, hey! Why all of sudden..."

"How long have you talked with each other? Where did you meet? I haven't even contacted her once and yet..."

With Asakura's outburst, their classmates poked their heads out of the classroom to watch the exchange. Luckily, the bell rang just in time for the Egirl to escape. Kuro knew beforehand, so he said: "I guess the questions should be put later on. Head into the class now, you two. And Negi?" "Yes?" "Do you have something? There's a place I want you to go." "Oh? What is that?"


Later on

"The Cherry Blossom Street?" The two were standing in the middle of the place, as currently no one was around.

"Yeah." Kuro nodded. "Remember about what Chisame told us?"

"About the rumor? You mean..." "Yeah. The girl, Sayo, still existed among us as a ghost. But she can't go away for some reasons. Though, I didn't really want to exorcise her. She's a good girl." "So she's wandering around here..." "No. She's at the class. But there's a point of the past here, and I want you to observe it with me. To understand the girl better." "Oh... well, it's our duty to do so. So how are we going to observe...that?" "I think you know that technique." "Technique? Not magic?" "Sorry, figure of speech. I'm talking about the Mind Synchro Spell." "That spell? But, in the middle of..." "I mean, it's similar." "Oh, alright. I'm ready." "Here goes nothing."

The past

"Hm... no surprise that the school was not the same. Surprised by the fact it's in better conditions than I thought it would be."

Kuro commented to himself, as he and Negi were standing on the same Cherry Blossom Street, except it's dirt road instead of stoned like the present. And after the comment, some of little girls ran past them without baiting a look on them. Negi should have been surprised, if Kuro didn't warn him about the spell at first. Then they looked at their behind to see a brick wall without a door instead of the usual staircase that led inside the building. And the atmosphere was... lack of the smell of a city...

"Wait, how can I smell the air here?" "*Smirk* Hey, you're talking about me. Anyway, let's go around and see if we can find her." And with that, they departed. During the way, they noticed the place was still the Academy itself, and the average age of people around were the same as the present. The World Tree was still there, standing proudly despite the fact that: "Japanese sure were strong, regaining everything back easily after World War Two." "We're in that era?" "Yeah. Sayo was from that time." "So... could it be possible she died because of the war?" "Highly impossible. Even though war is cruel, people would be insane if they attacked a place like this."

Then, they reached the entrance of the main building. They both headed inside and looked around the place. Kuro commented: "Nothing really changed, except the items here looked more out-dated. Expecting that as well."

Negi then pointed out the teacher's room, and both of them went in, then reached to the teachers' desks. "Negi, don't hesitate to touch them. We're in parallel dimension, so even if we interact like bringing a book up, the people here won't see it." Negi nodded, and the two started searching for...

"May I ask what kind of thing in here would have a ten-year-old boy and Yama's attention?" Kuro instantly pulled out his right revolver and pointed to the main door, as Negi looked up to see who just spoke. A middle-age woman was standing there, her hair tied into a shimada and held up by a brooch. She's wearing a red yukata, and she's holding Ofudas in her left hand with... an old-age pistol in her right pointing right at Negi.

Kuro slowly put the book on his left hand down as he asked: "And what will we gain if we answer you?" "Well, if you answer right, then we will talk without the weapons. Though, if it's the other option, then the boy will be arrested, and I will sue you away with my magic." Kuro temporarily turned his head back to Negi, who's holding his staff defensively. Then, he answered: "Okay, we will answer. However, if the question is too... problematic, then we won't. I hope you can understand." "Depending."

Kuro lowered his gun and pocketed it. The woman then started her questions: "First, your name." "Kuro, and the boy is Negi Springfield."

She looked at the young teacher and asked: "Where are you from?" "Um... from Wales, England. About Kuro..." "I'm from Vietnam."

... The woman continued: "That's... an odd combination. And your outfits... especially you, Kuro. It's giving me a chill."

Kuro: "It reminded you of someone?"

"Our... current allies, to put it that way. But, I have to say I didn't recognize the others."

Negi: "We are... uh... Kuro, wouldn't this affect..."

Kuro didn't immediately answer him. "Aside from you, did anyone else notice us?"

"And why should I tell you?"

Kuro: "...No one, then... Anyway, to put it frankly, we're from the future."

The others' faces turned surprised, as Negi asked: "Wait, Kuro-sensei! Did you just do so?"

Kuro closed another book. "The fact she could see us, RIGHT THROUGH A PARALLEL DIMENSION, is not something even a normal magic user can do. Though, I'm guessing you're not one, are you?" ... "Yama herself?"

Negi slowly turned to the woman again... to see her giggling and put her weapons away. "So you knew from the beginning, mister Kuro?"

Kuro: "I have one in the same level as you as my partner, and dealt with another deities that had similar power as yours. And you picked the word 'Yama' casually to address me. I don't believe ANY of Japanese would dare to use your name that straight-up."

The woman's smile was still there. "I see. Well, consider yourself lucky that I won't interfere more. But, my first question still stands."

"Found it. Negi, come over here. Yama, if you want to know, come as well." Kuro then used his finger to point at the interest page, as the other two came in. Negi looked at the book, to see a picture and a profile of the person they're looking for. "Aisaka Sayo..."

"You want to prevent her death?" The two teacher looked back at Yama, who's releasing a bit of power. "If so, then I will have to stop you."

Kuro immediately answered: "No, nothing like that... but judging by your actions, her death is near, right?" Then, a rainstorm appeared. The three looked out of the window to see the rain started falling. He sighed. "It just had to be this day..."

Yama's power depleted, and she asked: "Then why?"

Negi answered: "From our time, there's a rumor about the empty seat in my class. I didn't know about it because I was there for a few months, but it seemed there's a ghost haunting it. Kuro found out it's Sayo, and we went back here to find out how she was before."

Yama raised her eyebrows. "That girl turned into a ghost? That's strange."

Kuro asked while taking a picture of the page: "And why is that?"

"She... Her past wasn't that tragic, if you're wondering. But she didn't have any guilt or anything that could make her..."

Kuro sighed. "Sorry Yama, I can guess why, but I'm not telling you. Your future self will know that, so you just wait. Negi, we're done here."

Negi blinked. "Wait, that's it?" Kuro paused a bit... "You want to see her death or not?" The boy's face paled. Kuro continued: "I know it's not something..." "It's okay. I want to know."

... "You are sure?" "I am." The assistant then looked at Yama. "I suppose this won't upset you." "As long as you don't interfere." "Very well. Negi, let's go."

...

"This... this is..." Negi's face paled again as he witnessed the scene in front of him. Under the heavy rain, a girl was using her own body to cover a small garden of tsuwabuki flowers. She had no umbrella with her, nor anything that prevented the rain to fully fall down on her. "Kuro... can't we do anything?"

The man shook his head. "Unfortunately no. This is a past event we can't change. Watching her fate is already a fortune Yama gave us." He raised his left hand up. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Yama." "Like..."

"You shouldn't stay under the rain like that, kid." That stopped the Deity to snap his fingers, as the trio looked at the direction to see a VERY SUSPICIOUS man in a dark outfit. Though, that one second was passed quickly as Kuro finished what he was planning to do.

Present

Negi and Kuro were now in another part of Mahora, but no one's around at the current moment. Negi looked around to see where they were, then to Kuro's face... to see he's very, VERY furious. "K...Kuro... what..."

"He didn't like the outcome." Negi turned back to see Yama again, but this time she was in a business suit. "Right, Kuro?"

Kuro: "Obviously not. But like i said, we won't interfere."

Negi didn't quite understand the situation back then. "What... did you see? Before we returned here?"

Kuro gritted his teeth. "No. I watched as much as you did. But I knew what could possibly happen back then..."

Upon seeing his angry face, Negi tried to connect the dots of the event... then: "She wasn't killed BY the rain..."

Kuro: "Correct. Negi, don't tell anyone about this detail, especially Sayo herself. When Naho came, I will ask for her help."

Knowing that arguing to Kuro now was pointless, Negi only nodded. Then he asked the Yama: "By the way, why are you here madam Yama?"

Yama: "Just want to know how he felt after that. So, it's goodbye for now."

Kuro: "Goodbye. Hope I don't have to meet you in another sensitive event."

Yama just giggled. "Don't worry, it won't be like that." And after Negi said his goodbye as well, Yama disappeared without a trace.

"Negi..." "Yes?" "Let's head back for now. And no Sayo for the day, okay?"


The last class

"Did Granddad get into a fight or something? He looked grumpy." Clem, or Yami with the way she addressed Kuro, asked Negi in concern. Asakura also got into the conversation: "Where did you two go after the break?"

Negi looked at the empty seat, and due to the fact he knew Sayo was there, now he could feel the very faint presence that he didn't notice before. He answered the two: "We... discovered a shocked truth... from the past. But I suggest we stopped talking about Sayo for a while. Kuro was not happy... and i did have an appointment with Fei for some training before my test to be qualified as Eva's disciple."

Asakura looked a bit down, then she smiled: "If you say so. But you have to let us watch you train, okay?"

Seeing the change of atmosphere, the young teacher then laughe. "I don't have anything against that. You could go and watch us training, I don't mind."

'Was Sayo's past really that bad, Clem?' 'I talked to her, Yami, but she said she remembered nothing about it.' 'Then things seemed to be more complicated than we thought.'

7 p.m, Mahora's Institute of Technology

Chao was actually nervous as she watched Kuro working with the blueprint of the energy converter. Not because of the details he's adding, but the mood he's in right now, very unnerving to her. "Sensei... I think it's enough for the day..."

Kuro did stop. But, he didn't do anything else rather than staring at the blueprint, Chao sighed and pulled his arm and started leading him out of the office. "Let's go to Chao Bao Zi. Maybe something can help you with your grumpiness."

Chao Bao Zi

Turned out she was wrong. Even after the meal, Kuro didn't change his facial expression, and constantly called for sake to drink. After every other customer left, Chao took the seat next to him and asked: "What's wrong, Sensei? Did you have a fight with your wives?"

Kuro answered slowly: "Did it look like that? I would never argue anything with them."

"Then, what's the face you're making?" "...I will tell in the future. Thanks for the food." He then left the money there and walked away, despite her calling for him constantly.

Once he's out of sighr, Chao spoke to herself: "Jeez, not even when we poked fun at him caused him this distressed. Maybe Negi knew something. I will ask him tomorrow."

Negi and Kuro's room

"I'm back." Kuro announced his return when he opened the door and stepped into the room, took out the shoes and socks...

"Not having a good day, Kuro?" He didn't answer yet, but he threw his coat on a chair and sat on his bed, before leaning on the person who just spoke. "I will take that as a yes."

"Another unavoidable, but cruel death, Charlotte." His breath now was filled with alcohol smell, though Charlotte sympathized him when she heard those words. "And Yama didn't allow me to interfere, and I also had no reasons to do so, until the last second."

"Tell more." Obeying her command, Kuro told her about what he and Negi has gone through.

During the talk, Charlotte has shifted so that Kuro could rest his head on her lap. After hearing the full story, Charlotte said: "It's cruel, but it's necessary. Didn't you do it to us before?"

Kuro: "But none of them was life-threatening. And it's even more frustrated that she is my student now..."

Charlotte placed a soft kiss on her husband's forehead, causing him to stop for a moment. "Don't beat up yourself like that. You can't change everything by yourself, and there are things not even the 'real' Gods would do. You have done your best, and with your observation, another ghost has regained her memories."

Kuro looked at her blue eyes, filling with her care for him. He then smiled warmly. "I can't be a moody guy if I'm around you girls, huh?"

She smiled back. "The Kuro we know would just find another fun way around the problem." "Can't deny it. How is our daughter?" "Still the sweet girl she is, if things are not related to you." "Hey now, if she becomes worse than her original, then maybe it's your fault for clinging on me." And that earned him a playful knock on the head... and a quick kiss on the lip.

Charlotte didn't feel the alcohol anymore, but the sweetness of milk on her lip. She knew her Kuro has turned back to his normal self. "It's late now. Let us sleep." "Let me take a quick bath first. You want to join?" "Why not? It's been a while we have done something together." "About that..." "Having Compa and IF was fun as well, but I like it to be just us." "A little jealous to your own friends? *Smirk* Naughty girl." "Don't say that with a straight face, Play boy."

Asuna's room

"It seemed Dada has returned to his normal mood." Clem was watching the late episode of an anime wjth Negi and Konoka, as Asuna has already gone to her bed early for her delivery job the next day.

Negi sighed in relief. "I thought he would be like that forever."

Yami: "Granddad couldn't be angry in a long time. Give him a little time and he will cool off."

Konoka: "You said that you called his third wife for help, right? Why don't you call the others as well?"

Yami: "Grandma IF and Grandma Compa are, no offense to them, not the suitable people when it comes to comforting someone. And they're still holding up the 'No Tresspassers' against Granddad."

Negi: "I'm surprised that one month hasn't passed yet."

Clem just giggled. "It's already passed. But they want to hold it a little bit longer so Dada wouldn't make the same fail again." And when the show ended, they both stood up, said their goodbye to Konoka and returned to their room...


The next morning, early in the morning

"Peek-a-boo." Clem playfully poked the person's nose, causing him to open his eyes to see her face right in front of him. The person sat up immediately and was about to say his 'usual' apology, when he realized he's still in his bed, and Clem wad still on the upper bed witb her top half hanging down.

The young boy managed to find his words: "I thought it happened again for a second there."

Clem: "*Giggle* I don't mind." Then she jumped off her bed and landed on her feet. "Dada's not going to wake up soon today, so we should go out to have breakfast."

Negi tilted his head in confusion. "Why?" Clem pointed to the other bed, and Negi looked to see a big budge under the blanket. "He probably wants to take a rest today." "After the story you told me, it's not surprised to understand."

Hours later

"So he's staying inside for the day?" "Yes, Shizuna-sensei." Negi's preparing to leave after the day. Shizuna asked the question since she didn't meet him during the day. "You're meeting with your students to train now?" "Yeah. I want to learn magic from Eva, but she wanted to test my skill, so I need to prepare for it." "Can I walk with you and watch?" "I don't mind..."

"Hey! Can we both go too?" Fuka and Fumika appeared from under one of the tables near them. Shizuna asked them back: "What about your homework?"

Fumika: "There's none today. Can we?"

Shizuna gave a question look to Negi, and he answered with a nod. She then sighed. "Fine, gather your stuffs girls." "YAY!"

The training ground

"You're getting better, Negi-bouzu." "Thanks, Ku Fei." Ku Fei and Negi were sparring with each other, while not far from them, Setsuna was teaching Asuna about kendo as well through a small spar as well. From a safe distance, Shizuna and the twin sat on the ground and watched the training going on.

"Mina, when we were away, was there anyone around Negi's age that's as good as him?" Fuka asked Shizuna after a few minutes of watching.

Shizuna: "During that time? Not much. We could only teach them some survival skills, not exactly the term Negi's heading to."

Fumika: "Hey, Mina. How about we start training magic back as well? It will be fun."

Shizuna giggled. "Maybe some other days. Right now, let them try to improve themselves first..."

"This place is big enough, so I think you could train right now with no problems." The trio looked at their left to see Kuro, along with Charlotte and Clementine standing next to them.

Shizuna asked back: "Have you recovered? I heard what you saw yesterday hit you hard."

Kuro just scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Yeah, a bit angry at that point, but not for long. Anyway, Charlotte can help you with your magic, while I will help Negi with his reactions. See you later." Then he walked ahead to Negi's location, leaving the princess and his daughter there.

Charlotte then bowed to the three and said: "Nice to meet you three. My name is Charlotte Orleans, the princess of Gallia of Halkeginia, and Kuro's third wife. My mother was from Lowee from the old Gamindustri, so I have heard about your stories."

Shizuna and the twin were a little surprised that they met a real princess, and then by instinct, they stood up and bowed back. Shizuna answered back: "It's our pleasure to meet you. I was Mina Nishizawa, the Oracle of Lowee, and these two were the CPU Candidates of Lowee, Ram and Rom."

A small moment passed, as Fuka looked up and took a quick look at Charlotte's appearance. Then, she said excitedly: "You look so much like Big Sister, except you have more blue on you."

Charlotte giggled at the girl's comment. "Many people have told us that. So, should we start a few tradings to know how powerful each other is?"

To Negi and Ku Fei

The two has stopped a bit, and Negi realized Kuro walking to them. "Kuro, are you okay now?"

"Better, definitely. How is he so far, Fei?" After answering Negi, Kuro asked the Chinese student.

"He learns very fast, aru. In hours he has done what's worth of months for the others to do. I don't know what else I could teach him in a short amount of time, aru."

Kuro nodded, then spoke to Negi: "I guess I will help you a bit from this point. Though, it's about reflections than techniques."

Negi's eyes sparkled up a bit. "REALLY? Thank you Kuro-sensei!"

"Say that to me after you manage to convince Eva. Now..." Around Negi, several Glyphs appeared, then vanished a second later. Sending Kuro a confusion look, Negi saw him showing a table of some kind on his phone, as he explained: "Those Glyphs will protect you during our training, so you won't suffer major wounds. But they also calculate on how you performed as well, so blocking and evading my attacks are what I want you to do now." Then the phone disappeared as well, and Kuro took a fighting stance, causing him to do the same. "Now, show me how much you have improved, Negi."

Later...

"Hm... out of 10, you blocked two to three attacks. Counter attacks, none."

"That's because you moved with Lightning speed!" Negi whined at Kuro's summary after their spar.

Ku Fei had to agree with the young teacher: "His focus now is to try to land a hit on Chachamaru. Your help there is..."

"For the future." Kuro interrupted her. "Negi, I did say there's no counter attacks hit. Well, let me give you a bonus: you managed to force me to use Time Stop once."

Negi blinked at that, then: "You mean I landed a hit on you?"

"Yep. Nice job Negi." Kuro clapped his hands to show his congratulation to the boy. Negi and Ku Fei started cheering up for it. "Though, that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. Ku Fei, can you help Negi about some tactics for counter attacks? It would help a lot fighting Chachamaru."

The girl saluted. "Roger!" Negi did the same too.

Then, someone poked on Kuro's shoulder, making him turn back and see Setsuna pointing at something. "Is that normal from your world?"

Kuro followed her finger... to see ice and snow everywhere. And Fuka and Fumika were making snow angels, while Shizuna and Charlotte tried to create more team-up spells. "Technically... traditional for Lowee. I'm going to clean that up before anyone else noticed this."


Night

"So the rumor is the truth. Thanks for your assistance."

"I'm not exactly interested. Also, tell me how you gained my identity?"

"Your trip to Kyoto. A group of Heavenly Host Survivors found Kuro there, and he stated that he's teaching your class. With some exclusions, we deduced to you."

"There are crazier people in my class."

"But only your name makes sense."

"As sharp as ever, that Naho girl." Chisame immediately turned back to see her assistant teacher sitting behind her while drinking coke. "Don't worry about me, just..."

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN MY ROOM? AND HOW DID YOU GET IN?" The girl screeched in surprise.

"I have my ways. So, can I join the chat?" He just casually spun the phone on his free hand without a care.

The girl sent a deadpn look to him. "Private messages don't work that way."

"Suit yourself. Anyway, do you want to ask about the ghost?"

'Do I look like I care?' was what she wanted to say. But instead, she asked: "First, they are real?"

"You are looking at one." From deadpan to surprised, she saw a ghostly version of himself floating out of the body. "I'm a special case, possessing own body, but said body still has life in it."

Chisame rubbed her eyes in confusion. "Wait, wait. How... so you are dead, and yet your body is still functional?"

The ghostly part's absorbed into the main body. "Well, that's where magic comes in."

"... So magic is real?" She groaned in her mind: 'Where have my normal school life been vanished to?'

"Into oblivion." She snapped back to reality and to Kuro, who's chuckling a bit.

"...You just read my mind?"

"Sorry about that. This is shocking to you, so I just want to make sure you're still there."

"... Get out of my room. Please." Kuro just shrugged and disappeared. After he was gone...

"AHHHH! MY NORMAL LIFE IS RUINED! GIVE IT BACK TO ME WHAT I SHOULD HAVE IF THOSE PEOPLE DIDN'T SHOW UP! CAN I GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT ANY OTHER PROBLEMS!"


The night of the spar

"Alone... again..." Sayo sighed, as she looked out of the window of the classroom and admired the star sky. Though, the current event made her happy. The little girl, Clem, saw her, and talked to her while everyone else wasn't paying attention to her. It was a miracle, and after half a decade, she can share her feelings towards a new friend. And she even said that her Grandfather, much to her surprise despite she heard about it all the time, can actually see her, but he couldn't talk to her yet due to time or so...

"More like I need to pick the right time to reveal myself." The girl blinked and looked to her left to see a ghostly assistant.

She 'Yelp!' in surprise. "K... Kuro-sensei? Wait, that appearance... you are a ghost as well?"

Kuro nodded. "Yeah, even BEFORE I met Clem's father's mother."

"...Wait. If you died before that, then how..."

"It's his logic, as his friends always say." Yama appeared behind Sayo, making her yelp again. "Because of magic, he managed to remain alive, while being able to be dead at the same time."

Sayo's eyes turned O in confusion. Kuro just chuckled and pulled out his phone. "Here. I hope this is the profile of your previous life."

The girl received his phone amd looked through the picture he took from the past. The more she read, more memories returned to her. And with most of them back, the ghost girl smiled. "My memories have returned. Thank you Sensei."

"You are welcome. Hey Sayo, Negi is taking a test now. You want to watch it? You too, Yama?"

Sayo returned the phone to him and answered: "I don't really do much, so i will follow you."

Yama: "Not much happened around from my side as well. Lead the way, mister."

The Plaza

"Shouldn't you stop this now, Kuro-sensei?" Sayo whispered to Kuro, when they reached the place, as Negi was fighting Chachamaru, but he's in a bad shape. So far, the condition was the same like original...

"I can't take this anymore! I'm going to..." Kuro's extending hand stopped Asuna from stopping the fight. "Kuro-sensei, don't you see what's going on? Negi is..."

"Badly beaten, wounds all over him, stamina blah blah." The assistant interrupted her. "I know. But this is his choice to fight. The whole preparation in the week is for this, and I am sure he's not going to give up anytime soon."

Asuna shouted back in worried: "This is just him being stubborn! He knows..."

"That he will be beaten several times." Yama suddenly spoke, surprising the girls. "But, he has the objective before him, and he's giving his best to achieve it."

Kuro finished: "And when a man has determined to do something, don't expect him to be stopped by other means, except himself."

Ku Fei wasn't really getting through it: "But Negi is just a ten years old boy."

Kuro just chuckled. "We usually call ourselves big boys, so boys are just men in their early years."

Like Makie's speech, Chachamaru got a little distraction, that gave Negi the chance to land the hit on her and gain himself a rest with his victory. Immediately after realizing what's going on, everyone rushed to Negi's side and checked on his wounds, except Eva and Chachazero walking up to the trio of Death. The Vampire then asked the Deity of Hell: "May I ask why a Deity like you was standing here watching the fight?"

Yama asked back: "Why did you think I'm a Deity of sort?"

Eva just pointed her fingers to Kuro and Sayo, who widened her eyes in surprise. "These two, I'm counting you too Sayo, smelled exactly like you, and even though you're hiding it, your power is on the same level as him."

Yama's frown turned to a smile. ""As expected of the Shinso Vampire. For your question, I was just happened to be around when he messed with time. Though he didn't do anything other than observing history, so I didn't do anything, yet."

Eva: "I doubt you could do anything on him, especially when he showed that enormous power of him from before."

Yama chuckled. "That remains to be seen." And with that, the woman walked away without another word.

Kuro commented: "We will meet her again in the future if she didn't say her goodbye. So Eva, want to go and cheer him up?"

Eva just 'hm'. "Like I would."

Kuro let out a smirk. "Pride. Sayo, let's introduce you to the rest od the group."


No comments from RWBY cast this time, because it's nothing much to say... and because of the second reason.

Also, bad news: My laptop is busted, so the update will be super slow, as I'm using my phone to write this. And it's torture to me =.=.

Nothing more to say for now. I will see you all in the next chapters.
