Eva: You know, I just noticed something…
APH: And that would be…?
Eva: (Looks over to MX) Why isn't he flirting with me?
APH: (Sweat drop) Eh…?
Eva: I mean LOOK AT HIM (Points at MX, who's chasing after Mana, who's throwing anything and everything she can find to just delay him)
APH: Hmm… I don't know…
Sarah: Probably because you're in a child's body?
Eva: WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT! (Pout)
MX: (Got smack on the head by a television) What are you guys talking about? (Blood starts to gush from the wound)
Sarah, Eva, and APH: (Look at each other and all took a step back) Nothing.
MX: Well, then I'll be off. Oh, by the way, the next chapter is on my desk, well, ja ne! (Continues to chase Mana) ANATA! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Mana: KYAAAH! BY THE NAME OF KAMI-SAMA AND ALL THAT'S SACRED! GET AWAY FROM ME! (Throws the Narutaki twin)
Narutaki twin: KYYYAAAA! HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER! (Both smack into MX, sending the three of them off stage…)
Disclaimer: YOU KNOW WHAT'S SUPPOSE TO BE HERE!
Eva: (shakes a chibi fist at MX) JUST YOU WAIT! WHEN I GET MY POWER BACK…!

"I wonder if Evangeline-san has recovered from the flu yet…" Negi says to himself as he wonders down the hall of Mahora middle school towards his class.
Three days had passed since the whole flu incident. Things have gotten back to normal… well, as normal as the school of Mahora can get. Sarah has been going here and there to get things done, but never tell the child teacher what it is that she was doing. He guesses that it's those things that full mages do. Asuna and Kamo have being busy thinking ways of fending off Evangeline. And so far, they have no luck whatsoever… NONE!
"Well, might as well get this class over with." Negi says with a smile as he walks into the classroom.
"Ah! Negi-kun is here!" Sakurako says with a large beaming smile.
"STAND!" Nodoka says as the class simultaneously stands up, bow, and choruses "Ohiyo gazaimus Sensei" before seating back down.
"Ah… thank you. Now, English class is about to begin." Negi says as he flips open his book. 'Hmm… But that was the Thousand Master… Was he really that bad…? I can ask Sarah-san, but she's sort of busy these days… How about Evangeline-san? She probably won't… tell… me?' Negi trails off as something caught his attention at the back of the room. Namely a certain blonde girl with emerald green eyes sitting next to a tired Sarah… "WAAAAHH! E-E-E-E-E-EVANGELINE-SAN!" The teacher exclaims taking a leap back, hits his head on the black board, which cause him to launch forward and slam his face into the teacher's table. Stumbling a bit from the hit, Negi trip on his own foot and tumbles into the wall as all the students just watch with a sweat drop on their heads.
"Ara…" Evangeline says as her eye brow twitch from the events that just occurred.
Shouting right back up, Negi starts to wave his arms around while holding his staff. "W-W-W-WHAT DO YOU WANT? I CAN'T CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL RIGHT NOW! I'M ALWAYS AVAILABLE AFTER CLASS, BUT…"
"I… Is there a problem… Negi-sensei…?" Ayaka asks as she takes a hesitating step towards the panicking child.
"Err… calm down… and what are you talking about?" Kazumi asks with a sweat drop.
"Mou… can't anyone has some peace and quiet?" Sarah asks as she lifts her head a little to peer at her young charge.
"You took care of me a few days ago…" Evangeline starts, silencing everyone at once. Sarah mumbled a thank you to her before falling back to a nap. "I thought that I might as well come to class… seeing that I'm stuck here anyway…" The vampire whispered out the last part with a sign.
"Eh… ah… is that so…" Negi asks no one in particular with a shock-happy expression. "REALLY? THANK YOU! WAAAAH! I'M SO HAPPY!"
"D-did something happen?" Sakurako asks as Negi starts to wave his arms around like crazy again. Meanwhile, Ayaka is glaring daggers at Evangeline, who's unfazed by it.
"If your flu better now?" Ako, being the nurse's assistance, asks.
"…Err… yea, I guess…" Evangeline answered before her cheeks start to burn from that day's events.
'So that's what happened… This is great! She's changed how she thinks of me since what happened that day! I guess showing a bit of courage really was the best approach after all!' Negi thought completely obvious to Evangeline as Kazumi interrogates her for what she means by 'took care of.' "Well, THEN LET'S START TODAY'S LESSON! PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 31 OF YOUR TEXT BOOK! SHALL I START READING? NO USE IN CRYING OVER SPILT MILK!" Negi sing songed as his mood was drastically lifted with just Evangeline showing up in class. However, what he doesn't know is that she has other things on her agenda…
'I don't know what happened… but he got Evangeline to come to class! That's pretty impressive!' Asuna thought as she shifts a lock of hair behind her left ear with a huge smile on her face. Just then, she felt something move. 'Eh?'
"I don't think a criminal like that can have a change of heart so easily." Kamo says as he appears on Asuna's right shoulder.
"Eh? Really?" Asuna whispers as not to draw attention to her.
"Of course! Don't you think that there's something behind all this?" Kamo says as his eyes gives off a flash of light with a BIN!
"I see… hey wait! WHY ARE YOU RIDING MY SHOULDER? YOU'RE NEGI'S PET FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!" The baka red exclaims grabbing a hold of the ermine, who wiggles out of her grip and jumps onto her head.
"Ah! HOW CUTE!" Misa says as hearts starts to appear around her. Soon, that table is surrounded by girls, all trying to get a hold of the white, fluffy ermine.
'I think I'm in heaven…' Kamo thought as he was passed from one pair of hands to another…
> > > > > > > > > >
"…Well?" Evangeline asks her robotic servant a little impatiently. Right now, Chachamaru is hacking into the computer. After much flipping and scanning through file, Chachamaru finally comes up with what her master is looking for.
"As expected," the robotic girl stat in her almost flat voice, "The Thousand Master's curse is in the form of a barrier up held by the magic power of another master. In order to encompass the entire campus, the barrier consumes an enormous amount of electricity."
"Hmm… and to think I have no idea for over a decade…" The child-vampire says stroking her chin. "But for a mage to rely on electricity? Hmm… he's pretty high isn't he?"
"I am also a high tech person…" Chachamaru states the obvious. Having obtained the information they need, Chachamaru shut down the computer, pulls out the devise that's installed in her finger, closes it, and follows her master out of what looks like a storage.
"Well… that's that… now we can finally do what is needed." Eva says as excitement starts to bubble out of her.
"That is correct…" The robot says as she looks at her master shaking in excitement.
"All right then… It'll go as planed tonight. Hehehe… when I think about face boya will have… hehehe…" Jumping up to the roof, what starts off as giggles grow into a full blown laughter. "HAHAHAHAHA! THAT'LL BE BOTH HILARIOUS AND PRICELESS! HAHAHAHA!"
"…" Chachamaru sweat drops seeing her master crackle like a mad woman. However, something suddenly pops into her RAM and she starts to fidget. Noticing this change immediately, Evangeline stops laughing and looks over her shoulder. "…Some thing wrong?"
"Ah… n-no… umm… that is…" Upon getting a raised eye brow from her master, Chachamaru realized her mistake. "… I'm sorry master. Negi-sensei had already made a provisional contract with a partner…"
Once the information was processed in her brain, Evangeline's smile dropped almost instantly. "What…? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? WHO IS THIS PERSON?" The girl exploded pointing an accusing finger at her servant.
"…the partner is Kagurazaka Asuna…" Chachamaru answers as she folds her arm in front of her and dips her head a little. "I… I don't know why I didn't report this… I am sorry…"
"…" Seeing that her servant is truly sorry, Evangeline decides to just drop it. "Hmph, whatever. It doesn't matter if he has a partner or not."
"Master, I am willing to accept my punishment you deemed necessary." Chachamaru says before dipping her head again, completely missing the flinch Evangeline gave off at the mention of punishing her.
"…That's alright." Looking up in surprise, Chachamaru is greeted by Evangeline's smiling face. "Beside, I'll need your help for tonight or I'll be in trouble. Dismembering you right now won't do me good."
"Master…"
"Why do you need her help?" A voice asks from the roof not far away from the child-vampire. Glancing over, Evangeline finds no other than Sarah lying on the roof sipping a juice box labeled mana elixir as she lazily stared at the cloud. "Is it because of me?"
"No…"
"Then why…?" Sarah asks before looking over with her trademark small smile with half-lid empty eyes, giving her a lazy look.
"…" Can't find an appropriate answer, Evangeline decides to just leave the caretaker along. "Come Chachamaru, we have five hours to get prepared…" With that, the blonde girl takes a leap forward.
"Ah! Master…" Chachamaru starts already calculated how the leap will end… but alas, it's too late. Right after Evangeline takes a leap, her foot got caught on the edge of the roof and she got sent face first into the roof. BAM! "HAAFFF!"
"Ah…" Quickly getting next to her master, Chachamaru helps the child-vampire up.
"AAAUUUU!" Eva whines like a ten year old.
"Ah… your nose is bleeding…"
"MMOOOUU! HUMAN CAN'T EVEN FLY! THIS SUCKS!" The blonde vampire continues to whine; not noticing Sarah slowly gets up from her spots, stretches, and starts a lazy walk over to her. "Grrr… This is entirely that stupid bastard's fault! YOU JUST WAIT! AFTER TONIGHT I WON'T NEED TO WAIT FOR A FULL MOON TO GET RIDE OF THAT SON OF- MMMMMMMM!" Looking down, Eva finds a handkerchief wiping her nose. Looking to her left, she was fairly surprised to find Sarah to be the owner as she smile down at her.
"There, all better." Putting away the handkerchief, the caretaker grins down before sending a fist into Evangeline's face, knocking her across the roof with a loud and clear SMACK!
"WWAAAAH!" Skipping to a stop, the undying mage quickly leap up to her feet and shake her fist as tears gather at her eyes. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
"FOR GOING AT THE WHOLE BLOOD SUCKING THING AGAIN!" Sarah exclaims as a vein throbs on her forehead. Signing with a shake of her head, Sarah's face softens as a warm smile replaced her angry face. "Just forget about sucking his blood." Walking over, she pats Evangeline on the head. "Besides, he's being studying about curse these past few days. Just wait for a while and he'll lift it…" With that, the caretaker walks away, leaving a stunned Evangeline as she stared wide eyed at the back of the retreating caretaker, her pony tail sway gently behind her. Lifting a hand up a little, she lightly brushed where a hand was a few seconds ago. 'I forget how good it felt to be treated like a kid…'
"Master… your nosebleed…" Chachamaru says, completely forgetting the things that just happened for the more important things … Evangeline's health.
> > > > > > > > > >
School is over! The students are dispersing, all going to mind their own business. Negi and Asuna walks out of the building as they prepare to head back to their dorm.
"I'm so glad that Evangeline-san showed up in class!" Negi suddenly says, causing Asuna to look at him with a raised eye brow. "It's all thanks to Asuna-san, Kamo-kun, Sarah-san, And Kaede-san!"
"Eh? Kaede? What does she has to do with it?" Asuna asks as her other eye brow joined the first one.
"AAH… NO… NOTHING!"
"Well, whatever. That means I don't have to stick with you anymore because of that contract right?" Asuna says with a wink, ignoring Kamo as he starts to babble about things like 'what would happen if you abandon aniki' or 'Evangeline might still try to get him.'
"Y… Yes, I guess… Sorry about that, asking you to do that sort of thing." Negi says with an apologetic smile. "But it's alright now! No matter what happens from now on, I won't cause trouble for Asuna-san and everyone else anymore! So please don't worry!" Negi says with determination written all over his face.
"Eh?" Looking down at the ten year old, Asuna asks with a frown, "are you sure…?"
"Yes! Besides, onee-chan sent something very powerful to me yesterday." Reaching inside his suit's jacket, Negi produced an envelope that's roughly the size of a pactio card.
"Huh…? Masaka…!" Kamo exclaims as realization hit him hard. "IT'S…!"
"YUP!" Negi exclaims with a happy smile, only to look in shock as the envelope was snatched out of his hand by no other than Sarah. "Well, if it's that, then I'll be keeping this thank you very much!"
'Where'd you come from…?' Asuna, Negi, and Kamo echoed the thought as all three stared with black dots as their eyes at Sarah, who blinked at them a few times before throwing her hands up with a yell of "WHAT?"
Shaking out of her trance first, Asuna decides to ask the question that plagues her when Negi pulled out that envelope. "Eh…? What are you guys…" Asuna stops her question as she noticed the crowd of girls gathered around a television chit chatting non stop. Curiosity getting the better of her, Asuna walks over to see what's going one. "Hey, why are you all here?"
"AH! ASUNA!" Haruna exclaims before turning completely to address the girl. "Didn't you hear?"
"Heard what?" Sarah asks as she steps next to Asuna with confusion all over her face.
"Ah, Sarah-chan, there is going to be a simultaneous black out tonight from 8 to 12!" Haruna says pointing a finger to make the point.
"It is done for maintenance purpose twice every year here in the academy." Nodoka says looking up at the towering figure of Sarah, who peers down at her with blinking eyes.
"Ara… I see…"
"Oh? I think they might have mentioned that in the teacher meeting." Negi says recalling the meeting every morning.
"I heard that the weather is going to get worst. It's a bit scary ne?" Madoka, one of the cheerleader trios says as she holds a grocery bag like her other two companions.
"REALLY? I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING!" Sakurako says with an enormous smile and one eye closed.
"I WANT TO PLAY IN THE SCHOOL AFTER DARK!" Fuuka, the older of the Narutaki twin, exclaims as she races around Kaede with Fumika hot on her tail.
"All the elevators and street lights will be off, none of the students should be allowed here…" Misa, the third cheerleader, says with a disapproving frown.
Sarah looks around to see if a familiar head of blonde hair with the trailing 'ear adornments' as Asuna calls them. Before she could finish, Sarah was brought out of her search by Konoka. "Do you want me to buy candle for you too? Asuna says she doesn't need them. But it doesn't hurt if I ask right?"
"Ah, thanks, but no thanks. I kind of like the dark…" Sarah says sheepishly as Konoka starts to pout.
"But they're so warm and they're pretty and smell good!" The innocent girl whines before she activates on her puppy-dog eyes.
"Ehehe…" Giggling nervously, Sarah desperately searches for an escape route. Lucky for her, one comes to her.
"Sarah-chan! Negi-kun!" Shizuna comes jogging over to them. "Negi-kun, we'll be leaving the dorm to you okay?" Getting a nod from the child teacher, the woman turns her attention to Sarah. "As for you, the principal wants to see you, something about needing to dig up things."
"Again? Can't he just… err, never mind." Flicking her hair tie once, Sarah winks at the group before walking away. "SEE YOU GUYS LATER!"
"Well, then I'll have a good look around then!" With that, Negi jogged away with Kamo resting on his head.
"OK!" Konoka squeaked, completely forgetting the candle business as Asuna starts to walk away, hoping to get a nice warm bath and a full night's sleep… the latter is not going to be fulfilled though…
> > > > > > > > > >
A few hours had come and went, and soon, the time for the black out had arrived. "ATTENTION! ATTENTION! THIS IS THE BOARDCASTING CLUB! THE ELECTRICITY WILL NOW BE TURNED OFF WITHIN THE ACADEMY… STUDENTS, PLEASE REFRAME FROM GOING OUT… FZFZFZFZFZFZFZFZF" The board cast died away as the clock struck eight. The electricity was cut off almost immediately, leaving the campus group dark and creepy.
Inside the dorm, the occupants sits around the table as candles surrounds them to give them some light at whatever they're doing. Either it is talking, eating, chatting, reading, or just plain nothing.
Meanwhile, inside the room of Asuna and company, Konoka is peering out from the window with that huge smile of hers as Asuna looks from next to her. "The weather doesn't look THAT bad…" Climbing up to her top bunk, Asuna tuck herself in and gives off a huge yawn. "Well, I'm going to sleep now. 'Night."
"Un, good night Asuna." Konoka says as she pulls the blind over the window before returning to the table where two candles were lighted to pick up her reading once more.
> > > > > > > > > >
"The electricity to the barrier has stopped hacking backup system… successfully complete…" Chachamaru says into a microphone as she looks at the data her laptop presents. "Conditions are optimal… your power should be returning now master…"
"Good… I can feel them already… hehehe… boya, let's see what you got…" A voice that gets more matured by the second says from the other end of the microphone. "It's time to start…"
"Hai… master…"
On the school's still active clock tower, a figure stands as its cloak flapping wildly due to the wind. A pair of emerald green eyes peers down at the campus while a smirk plays on the figure's lips. "Now… let's begin…"
> > > > > > > > > >
"Huh?" Looking up from the piles of stuff Konoemon, the principal, had stacked in the storeroom, Sarah walks over to the window and peer outside. "So, it's starting…"
"S-S-Sarah…" A wobbly voice says from the other side of the room. Looking over at the source, Sarah's vampire eyes allow her to see Takamichi struggling with a pile of books. "H-help?"
Signing, she walks over to the man; lifting the book with one and as the other rest on her hip. "Really, why are we here again?"
"Hmm, the principal says he's looking for a specific book… but he can't quite remember where he puts it…"
"What's it called again?" Sarah asks as she starts to scan through the pile of books in her hand one by one.
"Err… something about book of king something… I'm not sure… just that it's supposed to make people smart after reading it." Takahata says with a shrug before cursing the old man under his breath for putting something of that importance away like nothing.
"Hmm… that'll take a while…" Sarah grimace before starting to 'swim' through the piles of junk inside the store room. 'Let's just hope what ever Eva-chan is planning to do, it won't get out of hand…'
"WAAAH! DAMN COCKROACHES!" Takamichi exclaims as he takes a leap back, bumping into Sarah during the process.
"KYAAAHH! WHERE?" The caretaker shouts before leaping onto Takamichi, who blushes as Sarah has her arms around his neck while her legs surround his waist. "KILL THEM!" (APH: Heck, being somewhat taller than her has its advantages…)(MX: Awwww, I wish that's me…)
"Err… you're over reacting a bit ne…?" The older man asks only to have his head pulled forward until his face is about two or three inch from Sarah's, which looks extremely scary (Just think of Asuna's face in chapter 85 when she's telling Setsuna and Nodoka to never say anything to anyone about the kiss… then you have a pretty good idea what Sarah's face looks like. APH: Yup… scary…). "When you had battle against a tribe of demons that looks EXTREMELY like cockroaches… then you can decide if I'm over reacting or not…"
> > > > > > > > > >
Inside the public bath house at the same time…
"Iyaaan…! They turned the power off…" Yuna whines as she grabs her tower to get ready to get out.
"We're still in the bath…" Ako also whines and sent a pout to no one particular. "It's all because you want to come to the bath no matter what Makie!" Getting no response from the gymnastic girl, Ako frown as she takes a few steps forward. "Makie?"
"What's wrong?" Akira asks as she walks over to the girl and puts one hand on her shoulder. "Hey?"
"Fufufu…" Makie chuckled before turning around. Somewhere outside the bath house, a figure is pulling barely visible strings with a mischievous smile.
"Time to work… my puppets…"
> > > > > > > > > >
Outside the dorm…
"Hmm… the dorm is kind of scary with all the lights out…" Negi says to himself as he flash a flashlight here and there.
"Hmm…" Kamo shudders and whimper as he starts to feel some high energy level. Right now, all of his animal instincts are telling him to run, but he held his ground.
"Eh? What's wrong? Kamo-kun?" Negi asks as he heard the whimper.
"ANIKI! CAN'T YOU FEEL SOME KIND OF WEIRD MAGIC POWER?" The ermine asks as panic seeps through his voice. "IT STARTED THE MOMENT THE POWER WENT OUT!"
"Eh? Some kind of monster?" Negi asks before chuckling nervously. "That can't be right? I mean, Sarah-san can eliminate them pretty easily right?"
"I don't know… but it's big…" The pet ermine says stroking his chin. "Could it be that Evangeline has…?"
"EEEEHH? BUT… BUT SHE'S REFORMED NOW!"
"ANIKI! YOU'RE TOO DAMN NICE FOR YOU OWN DAMN GOOD! THERE IS NO WAY IN THE NAME OF MAHORA CAN SOMEONE LIKE HER TO HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART THAT FAST!" (APH: If you only know… fufufu)(MX: (Smack APH) SHUT UP AND CONTINUE THE STORY HONESTLY WE'VE DONE MORE INTERUPTIONS NOW THAN ALL THE OTHER STORIES PUT TOGETHER!)(APH: your not helping)MX: (glares at APH)
"But…! Wait… is that…?" Negi stops as his eyes widen in surprise at what his flashlight had landed on: a naked Makie. "Ma-Makie-san…? Y-Y-YOU SHOULDN'T BE WALKING AROUND IN THE DARK NAKED!" The child shouts as Kamo flies off his shoulder due to a nose bleed.
"Negi Springfield…" Makie says and grins, showing a pair of small fangs that stops Negi from his rumbling. "Evangeline AK McDowell here by challenges you to a duel…"
"EEEEH? W-W-WHAT ARE YOU…? HOW DID YOU…? WHERE ARE YOUR…?" The kid starts to speak of non-sense, partly due to what Makie said, and partly due to her still being naked. Just then, the information processed in his brain. "WHY IS MAKIE-SAN TALKING ABOUT EVANGELINE-SAN?"
"I'D GOT IT! SHE'S BEEN BITTEN BY EVANGELINE! ONCE YOU GOT BITTEN BY A VAMPIRE, YOU FALL UNDER THEIR COMMAND!" Kamo says as he points a claw at Makie with a deep frown on his face.
"EEEEEHH?"
"Come to the bath in ten minutes… Well," Makie starts as she seems to turn back to her old self. "I'LL BE WAITING NEGI-KUN!" With that, she jumps off the floor they're on and use her ribbons to swing away, performing complex acrobats between each leaps.
"What the…" The duo left behind whispered simultaneously as sweat drops appear on their head.
"That's no normal human feat…! THAT ANE-SAN IS HALF VAMPIRE!" Kamo exclaims as his eyes turns into two shiny stars.
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHH!" Negi exclaims as his eyes budge from his skull. "T-T-T-THAT CAN'T BE! WHEN I EXAMED MAKIE-SAN, THERE'S ONLY AN AFTER TRACE OF MAGIC LEFT! THERE WASN'T ANYTHING STRANGE ABOUT IT NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT!"
"HAVING HER MAGIC SEALED TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD THING FOR EVANGEGLINE AFTER ALL! SHE WAS ABLE TO HIDE IT FROM YOU ANIKI!" Kamo countered as watch as his aniki takes a step back from shock. "I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DID IT, BUT SOMEHOW EVANGELINE HAS GOTTEN HER POWER BACK DURING THE BLACK OUT! THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD ANIKI!"
'N-no way… and I thought Evangeline-san had decided to turn over a new leaf and start attending school…' The child thought to himself as his eye brows meet at the center of his head. 'To think she even uses her own classmate like Makie-san… This is terrible! I've put my students in danger through my own carelessness again!'
"A-ANIKI!" Kamo yells snapping Negi out of his thoughts. "WE'VE GOT TO FIND ASUNA-NEE-SAN'S PROVISIONAL CONTRACT! SHE'S STILL INSIDE THE DORM!"
"Un… G-GOT IT!" Negi exclaims, pulling out his cell phone and is prepared to dial in Asuna's number when he stops. Clenching the cell phone, he puts it back into his pocket. "NO! I CAN'T DO THAT KAMO-KUN! I'M GOING TO DO THIS BY MYSELF!"
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHH!" Kamo exclaims as all his fur stands on end from the shocking declaration. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ANIKI! AT LEAST GET SARAH-NEE-SAN!"
"It'll be ok! I've been prepared for this kind of things since yesterday!" Negi says as he drags out a bag full of items out of nowhere.
"Where the heck did you get all that stuff…?" Kamo asks with a huge sweat drop before he shakes his head to snap out of it. "BUT ANIKI!" Kamo once again tries to reason only to stop as Negi starts to puts all sorts of magical arms on himself. There are magical ammunition, a magical gun, a few talismans, a few wands of all sorts, and a few staffs as well. "Seriously… where did you get all that stuff…?"
"I… I don't really know…" Negi says with a blush as he scratches his chin nervously. Kamo stares at him for a few seconds before face faulting, creating a dent the size of his head. "YOU WHAT! Anyway, I'M TELLING YOU ANIKI! IT'S NO USE! NO MATTER HOW MUCH STUFF YOU TAKE, YOU JUST WON'T BEAT HER! THINK ABOUT IT!"
"NO! I'M NOT GOING TO GET ASUNA-SAN OR SARAH-SAN! THEY ALREADY HAD ENOUGH! THIS IS MY PROBLEM!" Negi shouts as he mounts his staff and races off towards the public bath house.
"BUT SHE GOT ALL HER POWERS BACK! AND SHES GOT HER PARTNER CHACHAMARU! AT LEAST CALL ASUNA-NEE-SAN!"
"NO!"
"YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! THEN I'M OUT OF HERE!" Kamo says before leaping off Negi's shoulder and starts to race towards Asuna's room. 'Hope I get there in time!'
> > > > > > > > > >
The bath house…
"EVANGELINE-SAN!" Negi exclaims as he burst into the bath house searching left and right for the vampire. "…Where is she…? LET MAKIE-SAN GO!"
"Fufufu…" A voice that sounded very seducing chuckles, surprising the kid as his eyes shot wide open. Looking up, Negi finds a blonde woman in probably her nineteen to early twenty sitting on one of the bath house's feature, surrounded by Yuna, Akira, Makie, Ako, and Chachamaru, all dressed in some sort of maid outfit. "Where is your partner?" The woman asks as she rests her chin on one of her hand. "To come all by yourself…? Hn, what admirable courage…"
"AHH! Y-YOU'RE…!" Negi starts as his eyes widen even more from realization.
"Heh…" The woman smirks as she tilted her head a little and watches the child mage point a finger at her.
"WHO ARE YOU?" Negi blurted out pointing an accusing finger at the woman, who promptly fell over, smacking her face into the roof of the thing she's sitting on. Shooting into a standing position, the woman puffed into smoke to reveal a very angry Evangeline. "IT'S ME YOU RETARD!"
"Ah…" Negi's jaw drops onto the floor to see the vampire pouting at him.
Dropping her pout, Evangeline smirks as she says, "I know it's before the full moon… but tonight, we're going to settle this. I'm going to take as much of that blood of yours as I need boya…"
'Akira-san, Ako-san, and Yuna-san too…' Negi thought as he clenches his staff more tightly. "I see… I won't let you do as you pleased! If I win today, you have to stop doing evil acts!" The young teacher says with determination burning in his eyes.
"I see…" Eva says before snapping her fingers. All of the four sports girls stand up and leap off the roof.
"T-THAT'S UNFAIR! FOUR AGAINST ONE AND USING YOUR OWN CLASSMATES!" Negi exclaims as he shakes a fist at Evangeline, who only grins darkly in reply.
"Unfair… you say…?" At that, all four girls start to advance very slowly towards Negi. "That's because I'M AN EVIL MAGE!"
"Negi-kun… let's play…" Makie says as she puts on a seductive smile.
"Let's play…" Akira says as she bends forward a little.
"Come on Negi-kun…" Yuna says as she couches a bit, ready to pounce.
"Negi-kun…" Ako purred as she starts to flex her hands. All of these acts driven the kid to near panic as pass experience of what the girls can do starts to pop into his mind.
"Fufufu… I'm going to make you regret… coming here alone!" Evangeline says as she held out a hand and say only to words to send the kid into hell… "Fetch him…"
> > > > > > > > > >
"Ah… finally I can get some rest…" Sarah says as she walks down the hall down towards the room she shared with three other roommates; namely Negi, Asuna, and Konoka. "That old geezer… getting us search for all those things… AND IT'S NOT EVEN THERE!"
"ANE-SAN!"
"Huh?" Looking back, Sarah finds Kamo charging at her with panicking speed. "EH?" CRASH!
"SARAH-NEE-SAN! ANIKI IS IN TROUBLE!" Kamo exclaims as tears pour from his eyes.
"Err… I see…" 'That's fast… I would have thought she'll hold off a bit…' "Go get Asuna. I'll need to get something." Sarah says putting Kamo down and disappeared instantly to god knows where.
"Well, that's one down and one to go. Now, to wake ane-san up!" Kamo dashed into the dorm room and starts to do the almost impossible…
> > > > > > > > > >
"TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF!"
"TAKE THAT OFF! COME ON NEGI-KUN!"
"WAAAAAHH! P-P-P-PLEASE STOP IT!" Negi shouts as he continues to fend off the offense the four girls are driving. "H-H-HEY! THAT'S A COLLECTOR'S ITEM!" He exclaims as one of the wands were throw away carelessly. "ISN'T THIS WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS IN CLASS!"
"It is…?" Evangeline foreign innocence as she bats her eye lashes at Negi.
"AAAH! AUUU… GEH!" Negi throws a bottle of potion, which exploded after one second knocking Akira and Ako unconscious as well as destroying all their clothing. All that's left is Negi panting in the center with a heavy blush on him while Yuna and Makie circle him at a safer distance. "T… THAT WAS NOT FUNNY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT SARAH-SAN WILL DO TO ME IF SHE GETS THE WRONG IMPRESION!"
"HN! LIKE I CARE!" Evangeline shouts with a huge smirk, but inside, she's shaking like a puppy. 'If you only know how much risk I'm putting myself into just to pull that off…' "Still, not bad… now it's time for the real thing! Chachamaru."
"Hai… master." The robotic girl says before dashing forward at unimaginable speed. "I'm sorry Negi-sensei." Meanwhile, Evangeline is starting a spell. "Lic Lac La Lalillac!"
"WAAAHH!" Negi exclaims before quickly leaping away just as Chachamaru's fist slammed into the ground he was standing on a few seconds ago.
"17 ARROWS OF ICE!"
"EEEEKK!" Negi jumped out of a window near by, going into a free fall as he looks above him to see the missiles tracking him. "Not good!" Mounting his staff quickly, Negi speeds off as he is only a few feet away from splitting his skull open on the cement floor. The 17 ice missiles continue to chase him as the child pulls out the magical gun from inside his jacket. Looking over his shoulder, he fires off 17 shots, all which finds its target, eliminating the missiles one by one.
"Master, all projectiles' destruction had been confirmed… it would seem that Negi-sensei is a collector of artifacts." Chachamaru says as she flies next to her master.
"Hn… not bad… and a magic gun… those are pretty rare." Evangeline whispers as she gave chase to the speeding staff. "But not good enough… now if I can just cut him off…"
"Just a little further…" Negi grit his teeth as he speeds across the campus with Evangeline and Chachamaru gave chase. "Eh?" Looking in front of him, Negi finds Yuna holding a basketball well Makie has her ribbon out. Both of them have a predatory smile on. "YUNA-SAN? MAKIE-SAN?"
"GOCHA!" Makie says as she snap her ribbon onto Negi's staff. Once it's secured, she heaved herself onto his staff with accuracy and cat-like agilities.
"Eh… Makie-san… that's dangerous." Negi says as he starts to sweat, knowing what's to come.
Makie starts to giggle madly before sending a wink at Negi. "LET'S PLAY NEGI-KUN!" With that, one of her leg shot forward to kick Negi off his staff. Leaning back, the child barely avoids the leg and an eye-full of Makie's private… (APH: Yes people, THEY'RE NOT WEARING UNDERGARMENTS!)(MX: REALLY? GET THE CAMERA!). Twisting around and plant her hands on the end of the staff, Makie's other leg shot forward, kicking out Negi's magic gun. "AH!" Using the momentum from the kick to spin around, Makie delivers another kick, which was blocked as Negi uses the back of his arm. "MAKIE-SAN!"
"DON'T HOG HIM ALL TO YOURSELF!" Yuna exclaims, catching both Makie and Negi's attention. "DUNK SHOT!" A basketball suddenly flies towards the duo at break neck speed, smacking into Negi first before bouncing and smacking Makie on the head as well.
'This is bad… at this rate…' Just then, Negi sees a flag pull with the flag spread out. 'That'll do…'
"Negi-kun, I think I got a booboo…" Makie says as she rubs where the ball had hit her. "Can you kiss it and make it better?"
"Gomen… BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME!" With that, Negi swung under his staff just as Makie got caught by the flag, which rips off, and starts to fall towards Yuna.
"AH!" The basketball girl exclaims before her head connects with Makie's, knocking both of them out cold.
"AAH! YUNA-SAN! MAKIE-SAN! YOU GIRLS OKAY? I'LL COME AS SOON AS THIS IS OVER!" Negi says before he starts to speed away towards the bridge.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH! THIS IS SO AMUSING! I KNOW IT'S WORTH IT!" Evangeline laugh as she wipes a tear away from laughing.
"Master, please be aware of the time. We only have about 72 minutes before the black out is over…" Chachamaru says as she continues to track Negi with her sensors.
"I got it, I got it! I'll finish him off by then." The child-vampire says as she starts to once again give chase. 'You have being holding out so far… how much longer can you hold though?'
> > > > > > > > > >
A few minutes earlier…
"ANE-SAN!" Kamo shouts with triumph as he finally get Asuna to crack open one eye.
"What? I got to deliver paper next morning…" At that, Kamo starts to machine gun everything that had happens starting from the black out. "Oh… that's nice…" Asuna says before closing her eye again, only to shot up straight, bumping her head onto the ceiling as the information finally sinks in. "BONK! HE WHAT!"
"A-ane-san… you'll wake Konoka-nee-chan!" The ermine says waving his arms around wildly.
"S-sorry… still, what did that brat decide to do this time?"
"It seems that Evangeline haven't change at all!" Kamo says as he continues to panic.
"Eh? T-then that idiot went to confront her all by himself?" Asuna asks back in a volume low enough not to wake Konoka, but loud enough for Kamo to hear her. Receiving a nod, Asuna asks the dreaded question, "Sarah is with him right?"
"No ane-san. Sarah-nee-san says she's going to get something, but I haven't sense another large energy source!" Kamo explains knowing that being one of the 'Guardians' trailing Nagi and also because she is at least nine hundred years old, Sarah is very strong.
"Grrr! That idiot! This is like part two of what happened before! That stupid brat!" Asuna says before charging into the bathroom to change into something more flexible and warm…
> > > > > > > > > >
Present…
"REFLECTION!" Negi shouts as he puts up the barrier just in time to deflect one of Evangeline's high level spells. 'S…such power… there's no way I can compete with her head to head… if I can just get over there fast enough…'
"HAHAHAHAHA! WHAT'S WRONG BOY? ALL YOU BEEN DOING IS RUNNING! WHAT'S THE MATTER? I DIDN'T GIVE NEGI-WAGI ENOUGH TIME TO CHANT! LIC LAC LA LALILAC…!"
'I see it!' Negi mentally shouts before gritting his teeth even tighter trying to get across the bridge connecting the Mahora campus to the outside world.
'Hn, like I'll let you escape…' " CRYSTAL RATION TERRESTRING!" Evangeline launch her spell with deadly accuracy, and soon the ground before Negi has ice pillars coming out of them.
"SHIMATA!" Unable to stop his speed, Negi can only shield his body as much as he can against the collision. SMACK! "WAAAH!"
Finally noticing her surroundings, Evangeline can't help but feel a little surprised. "I see… this bridge is the end of the district, which I can't leave… You think you can escape just by leaving here? I don't think so!" The child-vampire sing sang as she started to walk lazily over to Negi, who hasn't yet recovered from the crash.
'Just a few more steps…' Negi thought as he tries to push the pain out of his mind.
"It's checkmate…" Evangeline says as she a nasty smirk formed on her face and she licked her lips.
'Just one more…' Negi mentally encouraged Evangeline to continue to walk forward. His encouragement is rewarded when the blonde vampire's bare foot touched the pavement and it starts to glow. A magic circle appears under her, surprising both the master and servant as wind spirits start to rise.
"NANI? THIS IS…!" Evangeline exclaims as the spirits starts to warp around her. No matter how much she struggles, she couldn't break the bond the spirits had form on her. "A FIELD OF BINDING!" 'And a high level one at that!'
Just then, the child teacher leaps onto his feet cheering. "YATA! I DID IT!"
"Eh?" The vampire sweat drop as she witness the impossible feat of jumping around with that much injuries on a person. While this is going one, all three of them completely missed the figure with empty red eyes that appears on one of the towers holding the bridge up…
> > > > > > > > > >
Sarah is quite surprised. She had just witness her young charge binding the all powerful Evangeline with a high level binding spell. 'Hmm… and to think he's so young too.'
Peering down from her spot, Sarah carefully conceal her power, both magic and ki, as low as possible, not wanting to be exposed as of yet. 'Now, let's see what else you got…'
> > > > > > > > > >
"HEHE! I CAUGHT YOU NOW EVANGELINE-SAN!" Negi continues to cheer before becoming calm enough to declare his 'victory.' "YOU CAN'T MOVE! THAT MEANS I WON RIGHT? NOW BE A GOOD GIRL AND GIVE UP! AND PLEASE STOP DOING EVIL THINGS FROM NOW ON OK?"
"…That wasn't bad at all… I'm impressed…" Eva says before she starts to chuckle, which grows into a full blown laugh, surprising the poor child as he takes a step back.
"W-WHAT'S SO FUNNY? YOU SHOULD KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT ONCE YOU'RE TRAPPED, IT'S HARD TO GET OUT!"
"You're right. Normally speaking, this means I lose… but… Chachamaru."
"Hai master." Chachamaru says as her ears flick open and a few antennas extends. "Executing field dissolution program… in 3, 2, 1… FIZZ! Field terminated…" Chachamaru says as the spirits around both her and her master froze, then shatters.
"WHA? HOW COULD THAT BE…?" Negi asks as his jaw dropped open.
"Hn, I'd suffer here for 15 years. Did you really think I would be without a counter measure for a trap like that?" Evangeline asks as she brushes some ice chunks off her. "That's… how it is…"
"Ah… T-THAT'S NOT FAIR? HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN?" Negi exclaims, earning him another fist into his head via Evangeline.
"STOP CALLING ME UNFAIR! I'M AN EVIL MAGE! GET IT? EVIL!" Evangeline yelled at the top of her lungs before taking a few deep breaths to calm down. "Still, I have no idea how it works either… Something to do with the power of science I think." The blonde girl finishes with a wink as Chachamaru who gives a small bow.
"Um… ah… RAS TEL…" Negi starts to do an incantation, only to have his staff forcefully removed from his hand. Chachamaru toss the staff back as Evangeline catches it with ease. "Oh, his staff…" Evangeline's eyes got a far away look for a few seconds before they're filled with anger. "Damn him…" Tossing the staff off the bridge, she smiles as wicked smile as she hears the satisfying SPALSH!
"AAAH! M-MY STAFF!" Negi exclaims before his eyes starts to tear up, causing Evangeline to almost feel guilty… almost… "T-that was my most treasured possession… -sniff- and you just threw it away…! THAT'S VERY MEAN!" Negi exclaims as he charges forward, only to be held in place by Chachamaru as he swung his fists wildly. "I SHOULD HAVE WON!"
"Err… master?"
"WAAAH! THAT'S UNFAIR! LET'S HAVE A MATCH ONE ON ONE!" Negi continues to shouts as Evangeline just watch him with an emotionless face. As the minutes drag on, Negi's whining starts to rub on her nerve as a giant vein appears on the side of her head. SLAP! The sound of that slap echoed across the bridge. It has two effects, shutting Negi up immediately and making Evangeline regret really doing it… but it has to be done.
"Real man doesn't pick fights and then whines about it… ARE YOU PREPARED TO ADMIT YOU'VE LOSSED ALREADY?" Evangeline exclaims as her angers starts to boil. "YOUR FATHER WOULD HAVE JUST LAUGHED OFF SOMETHING LIKE THIS!" Negi continues to stare at the blonde girl dumb founded as he held a hand against the cheek that was smacked. "But still… you did well today boya…" Walking over to the still stunned boy, Evangeline straddled him, snapping him out of his daze instantly as what is about to happen pops into his mind. "Recklessly coming here all by yourself… well then, I'll be taking your blood now…"
Looking at the grin that reveals sharp fangs, Negi pales as he starts to whimpers and wishing that someone is there to help.
"…Ah…" Chachamaru suddenly muttered, stopping Evangeline in her tracks as she almost sank her fangs into Negi's neck, completely unaware of the figure that narrowed its eyes at her. "What is it?"
"Um… Negi-sensei is still just a boy… Please don't do anything too harsh to him… master…" Chachamaru says, snapping Evangeline's mind back to what her original tasks is and also helping her to sense the 'extra' presence there.
'Phew… that's close…' "Don't worry; I won't do anything that'll kill him." Evangeline says both to reassure her servant and the new presence. "You see, I had also taking some interest to him…" At that, Evangeline smiles a smile that doesn't look good to Negi at all.
"Eh?" Negi and Chachamaru chorused as they stared wide eyed at Evangeline.
"HEY!" A voice shouts, attracting Evangeline's attention like a needle in her foot. "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"
"Hmm… she's here… Boya's partner Kagurazaka Asuna…" Evangeline smirk before she stands back up to her feet. "Chachamaru…"
"Um… hai." Crouching down, the robot girl dashed off at amazing speed towards the new arrival.
"Kamo!" Asuna shouts as she glares at the approaching girl.
"ROGER ANE-SAN!" Leaping off Asuna's shoulder, Kamo produced a lighter and a coil of something. Lighting the coil, he held it high on top of his head just as Chachamaru realize what that is. "ERMINE FLASH!"
"AH!" Covering her eyes unless the eyes overload by the light, Chachamaru comes to a hold as Asuna charged pass her with an apology.
'Hmm… she's aiming for me.' Holding up a hand, Evangeline activate her barrier and smirk. "What can a mere human like you do against me? POW! EEEEEEHH?" Once again, the barrier was rendered useless as Evangeline was sent flying into the tower of the bridge face first. "This is impossible! Ignoring my barrier this easily… unless she's a… Grr… damn that girl! Eh? Where they go?"
> > > > > > > > > >
"-pant- You –pant- brat…" Asuna pants as she glares at Negi, who stare at her with both admiration and amazement. "What do you have to –pant- say for yourself?"
"A-Asuna-san… I'm sorry…" Asuna stops her glare as Negi bow his head in shame. "I've caused you trouble again… I tried so hard on my own… but I wasn't enough… BONK! Itai!"
"You idiot!" Asuna hisses as she pulls her fist back to her side. "Don't over do it. Boys who are stubborn in situation like this aren't cute! Do I have to repeat myself again?"
"Uhm… in situation like this…" Negi whispers as he holds off the tears threatening to leak due to pain.
"…If you come to me, I'll come and help you! It's no problem at all!" Asuna says with a wink then she jabbed a thumb at herself. "We'll work together and find a way to deal with Chachamaru and that problem child!"
"…" Negi look at Asuna as if she'd grow a new head.
"Hey, don't look at me like that!" Asuna accuse as she starts to blush.
"Real man doesn't pick fights and then whines about it… ARE YOU PREPARED TO ADMIT YOU LOSS ALREADY?" Evangeline exclaims as her angers starts to boil. "YOUR FATHER WOULD HAVE JUST LAUGHED OFF SOMETHING LIKE THIS!"
Smiling, Negi wipe his tear away and turn back to Asuna. "Thanks… and please Asuna-san, I need to beat her!"
"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!" Kamo exclaims as he leaps down onto the ground and produce a chalk. "COME ON ANE-SAN!"
"Eh?" Negi groan in confusion as the figure on the tower tilt its head in curiosity.
"Mm… well, I guess we've got no choice." Asuna says as her blush gets bigger. "Okay… I'm going to do it now, ok?"
Looking around in confusion, Negi can't seem to put the picture of a blushing Asuna and the pactio magic circle together. "Eh?"
"Here goes nothing…" Reaching forward, Asuna grab a hold of Negi's head, who tried to back away, but couldn't due to the force of Asuna's strength. Just then, her soft lips covered his in a surprising kiss.
"PACTIO!" The ermine exclaims happily as Asuna let Negi go and takes a step back.
"Eh… W-WH-W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Negi exclaims, getting both Evangeline and Chachamaru's attention. Up on top of the tower, the figure smiles as she sits back down to enjoy the show.
"Um… sorry…" Asuna laugh sheepishly as Negi continue to mumbles.
"I-I-I-I NEVER KISSED ANYONE BEFORE!"
"T-that's okay… I'd never done it before too… but this one doesn't count!" Asuna says a little too cheerfully as she gives a thumb up.
"ANIKI! IF SHE ONLY KISSED YOU HALF-HEARTLY ON THE CHEEK LIKE LAST TIME, THEN IT'S ONLY HALF AS EFFECTIVE!" Kamo says as he puts away the chalk, which magically disappears. "BUT THIS TIME! I TOLD ANE-SAN TO DO IT PROPERLY! And so… PACTIO RENEWAL!"
> > > > > > > > > >
A few seconds earlier…
"Eh… W-WH-W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
"So that's where they are!" Evangeline exclaims angrily as she stomps forward to where the trio is hiding. She stops as she sees two figures walked out from the cover of the tower. "They're coming out… hehe… WHAT'S THE MATTER BOYA? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST TAKE A BREAK JUST BECAUSE ONEE-CHAN THERE CAME TO SAVE YOU?"
"Uhm…" Negi bit his lower lip as a blush came across his face.
"Don't listen to her aniki!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Asuna shouts as she points a finger at the blonde vampire. "THIS IS WHAT A REAL FAIR FIGHT IS LIKE! TWO VS. TWO!" Just then, an ice cube smacked against Asuna's forehead from out of nowhere.
"I'M EVIL! NOT GOOD! EVIL MEANS PLAYING UNFAIR!" Evangeline yelled as she shakes a fist at Asuna. "Still, it's true though. Now that we both got partners, it's a fair fight… But are we really evenly matched?" Evangeline taunt as she lazily walks forward. "Boya doesn't have his staff and you'd never fought before!" The girl vampire says before whispering, "Chachamaru, don't underestimate her. She may be stronger than she looks…"
"Hai master…"
'Breaking my barriers twice… and the old geezer let her live with his granddaughter… she's not normal at all… hehe, it's starting to get interesting…' "Let's go… ignore that fact that I'm a student and come at me with everything you got, Negi Springfield!"
"…as you wish!" 'Thanks for coming, Asuna-san… Kamo-kun…' Looking over at Asuna, he finds Kamo standing far away waving a flag at them. '…Well… still, I'm not losing this fight!' Tossing the new pactio card up, Negi activates it. "ACTIVATE CONTRACT FOR 90 SECONDS FOR THE DECIPLE OF NEGI SPRINGFIELD! KAGURAZAKA ASUNA!" Just then, a white aura surround Asuna as she dash forward.
"LIC LAC LA LALILLAC!" Evangeline also starts as Chachamaru charges forward. The two girls meet in the center and starts to exchanges blows.
Reaching behind him, Negi starts his own incantation. Pulling his hand out of his hind pocket, he produces a small wand. 'T-THAT'S THE WAND ANIKI USES TO PRACTICE AS A KID!' Kamo mentally exclaims in surprise as Negi finishes his spell.
"HAHAHAHA! WHAT IS THAT CUTE LITTLE TOY GOING TO DO? TAKE THIS! 17 ARROWS OF ICE!"
"17 ARROWS OF LIGHTNING!" Negi shouts as 17 arrows made of lightning rushes forwards and destroyed each and every ice missiles there are.
"HAHAHA! TO THINK YOU CAN USE LIGHTING! BUT YOUR CHANT TOOK WAY TOO LONG! LIC LAC LA LALILLAC! 29 ARROWS OF DARKNESS!"
'2-29?' "RA… RAS TEL MA SCIR MAGISTER! 29 ARROWS OF LIGHT!" Once again, 29 missiles of light rush forward and canceled out Evangeline's attack.
"HAHAHAH! GOOD! GOOD! YOU'RE DOING WELL FOR NOW!" Evangeline laugh as she enjoys the challenge a mere boy presents. 'Just think what he can do if properly trained…'
'S-strong… To think my dad beat her… B… but I can beat her too!' "RAS TEL MA SCIR MAGISTER! SPIRIT OF THUNDER, SPIRIT OF WIND! GATHER ONTO ME!"
"Oh… finally…" Holding both her hands out, Evangeline decides to play fire with fire. "LIC LAC LA LALICLLAC! SPIRIT OF ICE, SPIRIT OF DARKNESS! GATHER ONTO ME!"
"Eh!" Negi gasps as he recognizes the chant Evangeline is doing.
"Hehe…"
'Better prepare to jump in if needed…' The figure on the tower thought as it shifts into a stance for easier movement.
'A-ARA! ISN'T THAT ANIKI'S STRONGEST SPELL? IS EVANGELINE TRYING TO MATCH HIM WITH THE SAME TYPE OF SPELL?' Kamo thought as his eyes becomes saucers.
"OH WIND OF THE SOUTH SEA! YE WHO BLOWS, CLAD IN THUNDER!" Negi continue his chants as magic starts to gather.
"OH FROZEN SPIRIT WHO LIGHT THE NIGHT! YE WHO IS ACCOMPANIED BY DARKNESS!" Evangeline shouts as she held her arms high above her. "BRING IT BOYA!"
Just then, time seems to flow down as the two simultaneously brought the arms down in front of them and shouts their finished spell… "THUNDER TEMPEST/BLIZZARD OF DARKNESS!" BAM! The two forces clashed in the middle, sending sparks and ice chunks every where. Chachamaru and Asuna hold off their fight too witness the final moment. 'This is it…' They both thought as the final minute close in.
"Gu… Gahhh…" Evangeline grunt as she finds that the boy is extremely high leveled for just a mage in training.
'I-incredible… but it's no good… she's over powering…' Negi thought before closing his eyes. Just then, the image of Yuna, Akira, Makie, and Ako pops into his head. 'No… Not yet! I'M NOT GOING TO RUN AWAY ANYMORE!' "AAAAAAAHHHHH-" Negi shouts as he brought his small wand forward, then, his face scrunch up in a sneeze… "-CCCHOOOOO!" With that, the suddenly release of extra magic added with the ones already in the spell, Negi's Thunder Tempest over powered Evangeline's as it rushes forward.
"Ah… ahh… w-WHAT!" Evangeline shouts as her eyes widen in shock. Lifting her arms up and crossing it in front of her, she can only grit her teeth as the spell slammed full force into her. A bright explosion resulted from the impact as a strong wind was picked up by it. "NEGI/MASTER!"
Once everything is over, Negi looked around to search for the vampire… he doesn't have to look any longer, as Evangeline floats in mid air panting with the top half of her clothing blown to shreds while her skirts was blown into what looks like a mini skirt at best. 'WAWAWAWAWA! H-HER CLOTHING! IF SARAH-SAN FINDS OUT…!'
"Y-you really done it now you little punk…" Negi flinch and take a step back at the level of anger Evangeline is showing. "He… hehehe… Just what I'd expected from you… Just what I expected from the son of that man…"
Negi continues to gape at the half naked Evangeline, who's covering herself as best as she can with her arms crossed. "N-NICE ANIKI! YOU OVER POWERD HER!" Kamo exclaims happily both due to Negi's victory and the half-naked Evangeline.
"Grrr… this isn't over yet!" DONG… DONG… DONG…
"Ah!" Looking over at the clock tower, Chachamaru's eyes widen as lights starts to come on in the campus. "MASTER! YOU MUSTN'T! COME BACK!"
"Huh? What are you- ZAP! N-NANI!" Evangeline exclaims as the light on the tower instantly came on, showering her with unbearable bright light.
"THE BLACKOUT IS ENDING 7 MINUTES AND 27 SECONDS EARLIER THAN EXPECTED! MASTER!"
"SCREW THAT! IT'S TIME TO GET TO WORK!" Evangeline says as she brings her hands up in front of her. ZIP! "Huh…" ZIPPAAAA! "AAAAAAAHHHH!" Evangeline screams in pain as her body was throw over the bridge due to the barrier that comes back on when the power came back on.
"W-WHAT'S GOING ON?" Asuna asks in shock as the smoking body of Evangeline starts the journey into the river.
"ONCE THE BLACKOUT IS OVER, THE SEAL OVER MASTER'S BODY IS REACTIVATED!" Chachamaru exclaims, activating her thrusters, and hope to god she's in time. "WITH OUT MAGIC, MASTER IS JUST AN ORDINARY CHILD! SHE'LL FALL INTO THE RIVER! AND SHE CAN'T SWIM!" On top of the tower, the figure, now shadowed by the light, has its eyes widen in shock and horror. Crouching down, it is about to leap when something caught its attention.
A small figure dash across the bridge, leaps, and drove down after the falling vampire. That small figure is no other than Negi Springfield. "Ugh…" Evangeline grunt in pain before looking up to see what the commotion is about. 'T-that idiot… what's he doing? He's already used up his magic form the fight before… He doesn't even have his staff… what in the bloody hell is he thinking…? We're both going to drown to death like this…'
"NEGI!" Asuna yells as she looks down from the edge to see both ten year olds (well… not really) continue to descend toward the river.
"MY STAFF!" Negi yell as something came flying out of the water and into his hand.
'Coming to think about it… this is like before… with that idiot…'
> > > > > > > > > >
About 15 years ago…
"AAAAHH PA! WAH!" Looking up, Evangeline sees a stranger holding her hand as he had a grip on one of the roots that's sticking out of the cliff.
"T-that was dangerous kid!" The stranger says.
"…"
"WHERE IS SHE?"
"WHERE'S THE DEMON SPAWN?"
"THAT DAMN VAMPIRE!"
"You heard them… I'm a vampire… if you don't let go, I'll suck your blood." Evangeline says with a forced smirk, but she hope to who ever is still helping her up there that this stranger doesn't do as she says…
Grunting, the stranger pulls Evangeline up and snake an arm around her waist. "Hold on tight!" With that, he jumps with Evangeline staring at him in wonder.
> > > > > > > > > >
"…Who are you? Why did you help me?" Evangeline asks as she continues to stare into the fire.
"Hmm… Who knows? But do I need a reason to save someone?" The stranger says as he pokes at the fire. Just then, a dead rabbit came flying out of the forest and smacking him in the face.
"Damn it Nagi, can't you get your own dinner for once?" Sarah says as she walks out of the forest and glare at the man named Nagi. That's when she noticed Evangeline. "Ara…?"
The undying mage can only stare in shock as her oldest friend stand in front of her with a complete stranger… one that's shorter than her no doubt. "S-Sarah…?"
"…Well, hello there." Sarah says with a smile before groaning as Evangeline smacked into her crying.
> > > > > > > > > >
Few months later…
"Hey you! Do you want to be mine?" Chachazero asks the question that's in her master's mind for the past few months.
"Eva-chan, how many times do I have to tell you? I'm married. Can't you just stop following me?" Nagi asks as he turns an annoyed face over to the vampire. "And beside, what is it that you see in me? GO AWAY!"
"I DON'T WANNA!" Evangeline exclaims stubbornly as Chachazero goes off chasing a butterfly. Just then, a pair of arms snaked around her and cuddles her up. "Eek?"
"Let's keep going if you want to stay at an inn tonight!" Sarah says happily before jogging off into the horizon with Nagi following behind.
> > > > > > > > > >
Few months later…
"INFERUS SCHOLASTICUS!" Nagi exclaims as he points his staff at Evangeline and shots a beam of energy at her.
"IYAAAAAAANNNNNN!"
> > > > > > > > > >
At Mahora principal's office…
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I-IT REALLY FITS YOU… HAHAHAHAHA! Y-YOU LOOK S-SO CUTE IN THAT! HAHAHAHEHEHEHAHAHA!" Nagi laugh as standing right in front of him is a near tear Evangeline inside the uniform of that of a middle school girl.
"You're right… she doesn't look anything like a dangerous criminal with a bounty of ¥4,000,000,000 on her at all." Konoemon couldn't help but crack a grin. Sarah can only nod in agreement as she takes in Evangeline's overall appearance.
Sniffing, Evangeline look down at her shaking fists. "I'm going to kill you all… I'm going to blast you until nothing is left of you at all!"
"Oh, c'mon, school is fun!" Nagi says as he winks at Evangeline.
"Hmm… it'll be a pity to put her in as a primary schooler. Should I put her in middle school?" The principal asks only to be smacked by Sarah. "Well that's a stupid question. Middle school it is, hohoho!"
Just then, Nagi walks forward, bend down, and puts a hand on Evangeline's head. "Don't worry. I'll be back when you graduate! Try living in the light for a chance. If you do, the time will come when your curse will be lifted!"
"…r…really?" Evangeline asks as a tear drop roll down her cheek.
"Oh, cheer up!" Sarah says before pulling her into a hug. "Beside, worst things can happen ne?"
> > > > > > > > > >
Present…
'Yea… worst things do happen… you guys are liars…' PA! 'Eh…?'
"UGH!" Negi grunt as he heaved Evangeline onto his staff and carry her bridle style as he pants with a happy smile. "Gotcha!"
"…!" Evangeline looks at Negi with wide eyes full of shock.
"Negi, yogada…" Asuna says with a sign of relief.
"Master… thank goodness you're safe…" Chachamaru also signs as she slowly descends onto the bridge.
"W…Why did you save me…?" Evangeline asks snapping out of her shock.
"Eh… b-because…" Negi starts sheepishly while making sure he's not looking down. "Well, do I really need a reason to save someone?" Negi finishes, and for one second, Evangeline could have sworn that she's in the arm of Nagi Springfield instead of his son. The blonde vampire starts to tear up before she muttered one thing as darkness claims her. "…Idiot…"
> > > > > > > > > >
"…Idiot…" Evangeline says before she went into the world of the unconscious.
"Ah… well, that's a relief…" Negi says as he starts to feel the strain just flying like that. Just then, a figure appears on his staff. "Eh?"
"Good job…" Sarah says softly with a warm smile before taking off her 'jacket' and wrapping it around Evangeline. "Better get on the bridge before your magic is completely used…"
> > > > > > > > > >
A few minutes later…
"EHEHE… WELL, I GUESS THIS MEANS THAT I REALLY WON!" Negi says happily as Sarah stands beside him checking at the damage the fight had done. "SO YOU HAVE TO STOP DOING BAD THINGS! AND ATTEND EVERY SINGLE CLASS!"
"…F-fine… It's true I own you a debt for today…" Evangeline says as she held the 'jacket' closer to her as a blush appears on her face.
"OH RIGHT! I'M GOING TO WRITE 'I WON' IN THE CLASS ROOSTER!" Negi exclaims taking out a marker and the class rooster.
"NANI? NO YOU WON'T YOU LITTLE…!"
"AAAAHH! E-EVANGELINE-SAN! NOT THAT ROUGH!"
"Err… is Evangeline always like that?" Asuna asks as she watches the vampire pull at Negi's cheek.
"No… master is a lot happier since Negi-sensei arrived…" Chachamaru answers with a small smile as she records the moment on the bridge using the camera built into her eyes. She chuckles as Sarah rolls her eyes at the two before hitting them both on the head. "KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!"
"ITAI…!" Negi exclaims before his cheeks were once again in the grip of the undying mage. "BAIJOUDO! I'LL STUPY THE CURSE AND BANCE I'M A BAGE! I'LL BIFT IT FOR YOU!" Negi says as best as he can while Evangeline continues to pull on his cheek.
"Eh? Y-you will?" The blonde girl asks in shock before going back to pulling cheeks. "HOW LONG IS THAT GOING TO TAKE? I CAN JUST DRAIN YOUR BLOOD RIGHT NOW! TAB! AHH! SARAH!"
"NO BLOOD SUCKING!"
"STILL! I HAVE TO FIND A CURE FOR MAKIE-SAN AND THE OTHERS!"
"DON'T WORRY, I GOT THAT COVERED NEGI-SAMA!"
"DON'T IGNORE ME BOYA! I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP YET! YOU'D BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK WHEN THE MOON IS FULL! TAP! ITAI! SARAH" The child-vampire whines as she caressed where Sarah flicked her forehead again. The party can only laugh as Evangeline soon joined in. 'I felt good to finally be able to enjoy myself again…'

In side the forest of Mahora campus; in the cabin of a certain vampire; in the second floor, next to the king-size bed, a night stand stands alone bared of all but one thing. A photo frame of a normal picture stands there with the light flicking off of it.
Inside the picture, it shows two people. One is a sleeping Negi with his staff held in his hand while the other is Evangeline, who has her head cuddled in the cock of Negi's neck with a content smile on while one of her arms is draped over him. If you look closely, you'll find that Negi has his arm around Evangeline's waist a little while his head seems to lean a towards the child vampire.
Sayo stands before the night stand studying the picture for the nth time with a small smile. "They look so cute together…" She says to herself before looking over to the doll that's hang on the wall. "Don't you think so Chachazero?"
"I think master is going soft…" The doll answers with a bit of annoyance, causing Sayo to giggle a bit.
"Well, that's a good thing, ne?" With that, she starts to walk over to the wall. When she's half way through it, she looks back to Chachazero one more time and waves with a wink before disappearing into the moon illuminated night…

APH: N…nothing…
Sarah: Still, there isn't much the author needs to talk about… although there is the matter about where he is going to insert a chapter about my past… Either right after this chapter or maybe after another few more… but then, I might not like how he tells them (Glare at APH)
