Negi started to slowly open his eyes. He looked up a saw Makie, Asuna, Fe kui, Kaede and Yue were looking down on him with worried expressions on their faces. All of them started smiling though when they saw him start to wake up. "What happened?" Negi asked. "We all fell through the floor and you grabbed onto us to keep us safe if we hit anything. We all woke up a saw you uncouncious" Makie answered. Negi then started sitting up and everyone started hugging him. "Thank you Negi, you saved all of us" Makie said. Negi smiled, but then saw where they were. They were in a strange forest with a huge lake, trees that went to the ceiling, and bookshelve after bookshelve. They all stood up and Negi looked around at everything there was. "Where are we?" Negi asnked. "I'm not sure. Non of the maps of the libarary show anyplace like this" Yue answered. Negi started to think about where they could possibly be, then he remembered about Ako, Yuna, and Akira. He thought they might be worried since he hadn't contacted them in awhile. Negi reached into his pocket and found that his walkie talkie was somehow still working. Negi then spoke into it, "Ako are you there?"
Back at the school all of class 2A were in the lounge. Fuka and Fumika had overheared what Negi had said to Makie and they told the entire class. "They can't really fire Negi if 2A is in last place can they?" Ayaka asked worried. "It's ture we heared Negi saw so himself" Fuka answered. Everyone was horrified of the idea of losing Negi. "I need to talk to Negi, where is he?" Ayaka said. Ako, Yuna, and Akira all started looking depressed, Ako started to cry alittle. "We lost contact with Negi two hours ago" Yuna answered. Everyone was scared to hear this. Ako started saying quietly to herself, "Please Negi, please be okay". All of them then heard, "Ako are you there?". Everyone was suprised to hear that, then they heard "Ako come in, are you there Ako?". Ako reached into the pocket of her skirt and grabbed her walkie talkie. "Negi?" she asked hopefully. "Yes Ako it's me" she heard back. Everyone immedentaly started smiling, hearing Negi's voice, knowing he was okay. Ako was overjoyed to hear him, "Oh my god Negi! What happened, are you okay?!" she asked excited. "Yes Ako i'm fine, we all are" Negi answered back. "Thank goodness, we we all nervous" Ako said, happy Negi was okay. Negi however was a bit confused. "What do you mean "all" Ako?" Negi asked. "All of 2A are here Negi, we all know that you could be fired if we come in last" Ako answered. Negi was upset that everyone knew, worried that if they failed they would blame themselves. "So everyone knows now?" Negi asked. "Yes" Ako answered. Negi sighed then said "Alright listen everyone, Me and the others are stuck right now in a section of the libraray we don't know". Everyone was worried to hear that, but Negi countinued to talk, "but don't worry i'm certain that we can get out in time to make it for the test. Right now the best thing you all can do is to study" Hearing this made them feel alittle better. "All right Negi, we promise we'll study and keep you as our teacher" Ako said. "RIGHT!" Negi heard the entire class say. He smiled at hearing this then turned to his group. "While were here, we all will study as well. I promise all of you we will get out in time" Negi said. Everyone nodded their heads yes and began to get to work. Negi knew that in 3 days, the same time until the test, his magic would return and he could use it to get them back. They just had to wait.
Just as they promised, everyone in class 2A studied everyday, testing and quizzing each oher, and helping one another. The same was going on with Negi's group. At first it was difficult, but with Negis help soon everyone was starting to get better. However during this time Makie noticed that Negi was acting strangely. On the second night she saw him sitting alone by the lake and walked over to him. "Is something wrong Negi?" she asked him. "This is just a difficult day" Negi answered. "What do you mean?" Makie asked. Negi looked up at her, "Do you really want to know?" he asked. Makie shook her head yes and Negi sighed, "Sit down, this is difficult to say" he said. Makie did and Negi began talking. The rest of the group were easedropping on them, and Negi had accidentaly turned on the walkie talkie and all of 2A was also listening. Negi began, "It all happened ten years ago...
Flashback: I never knew either my mother or father. I was raised my whole life by my sister. We lived in a small village in Whales. One day, while I was playing out in the fields I started to hear screams. I heaed them coming from the direction of the village, so I ran towards it. When I arrived I saw groups of men in dark cloacks, setting the homes on fire, ...and killing people with swords and knives. They were leaded by this very tall man who wore a large black hat to hide his face. I stood there horrified by what I saw until my sister came and grabbed me. She ran holding my hand, then an explosion occured and we both were knocked uncouncious. We woke up a few hours later, the only light was from the still burning homes. We looked all around us and saw nothing but dead bodies. That morning, there were 250 people in our village. That night, we were the only ones left.
Makie was in tears hearing this. She had no idea Negi had such a horrible past. She immedentaly started hugging him and saying "I'm so sorry Negi". Negi returned the hug and said "Thank you". Negi then noticed the rest of the group had come over to them, they too were all crying. They all started hugging Negi as well. Then Negi heard crying over the walkie talkie. Negi picked it up and said "Ako is that you?". "Yes Negi, we all heard" Ako answered while crying. All of class 2A was crying as well. Negi sighed and said "I'm so sorry you all heard that". Everyone was shocked to hear him apologize. "Negi you don't need to apologize. After everything you've been through we should apologize to you" Ako said. Eveyone in Negis group and 2A nodded yes. "Thank you all, that means a great deal to me" Negi said. "After everything you've been through Negi there is no way we'll let you get fired. We'll win for you Negi" Makie said. Everyone yelled "YEAH" in response. Negi started smiling at this, he couldn't be prouder of his students and friends.
