Well the last chapter was a bit longer so I will try to make this chapter about 4000 words at least. Keyword try. And after this update, this fic will be put on an erratic update cycle to try and lengthen the story and make it deeper. Oh by the way, I find it very hilarious that this story is doing a lot better then my other stories. And I say that with good reason because on Sunday this fic got 619 views. It's doing a lot better then them, though that might not be the case with 'The sun the fox the crow and the zero', simply because I haven't updated it.
withdranwnmmaddness000: I forgot about Sona my bad. Thank you for reminding me. About his rank in strength, he is about 50th bordering on 49th. He might be higher because of plot devise. I will say that he was actually weaker then Negi when they came to Mahora on the sheer fact that Negi had a larger reserve then he did. Negi is still technically stronger then him after they became half demons, but again a plot device to make him on par with Negi. And yes this is just before canon. About the ministra thing, It is only a thing I thought could bring other side characters more involved into the story. As for difficulty, well I could just put down note's about there artifacts.
Bones: There are plenty of other stories that have done this before and it still hasn't really made the story bad. For example 'A demon among devils', 'The small exorcist', 'Naberius Heir' and plenty of others. Also the suggestions for the harem is just that, suggestions. In the end I still have the final say on how the story will progress, and that is ignoring the fact that there are, again, other stories that do this also. I ask for the suggestions because when someone reads something they help put together, they feel more satisfaction with it then if they didn't. Or at least, I hope so.
Guest: I will place Issei's harem down below, along with explaining the threat classes I'm using for this story. As for him becoming a magister magi, well i'm not really sure he will be good with magic. but he will be trained by him.
Enigma95: Thank you for the score. I will be adding them, however Gabriel is going to need some work as I must bull shit some of her personality since it's been awhile since i've seen the anime, as well as the anime not showing her a lot. Same with Rossweisse. Yes Eva did train Riku, and I would like to apologize that Kaede is not in the story but who know's what the future will have in store. I'm playing around with possibilities with Kuroka and saying that she just went into hiding after the event. Oh and I'm with you on liking Negi as the main protagonist, but I would like to use some of my very limited creativity to try and make a good story character. I hope you will understand and continue reading.
Disclaimer: again go to chapter two, because this is the last chapter you will see this. I will add however that anything I take from another series belongs to that series and are not mine.
Story start.
This day is officially the worst day of my life. Even worst then that time that I woke up in Zazie's bed once when I was sleeping on the floor. And that day I was being chased by about fifteen hormonal fourteen year old's out for blood for something I had no control over nor any idea what was happening. It wasn't until later that I learned that Zazie was the one that picked me up off the ground, the how I learned later, and put me into her bed. The reason for that is something I never found out about.
And how might this morning be the worst ever you may ask? Well it might have to do with the fact that I woke up next to a very well endowed naked cat eared woman, then Ako walked in and instantly misunderstood the situation, alerting the my other ministra, who are currently staring me down with the evil eye that could make Jack cower, and demanding an explanation as to who this is sitting next to me.
It's a good thing that school doesn't start for another hour.
"Riku Springfield-sensei, may I ask who this is?" Mana asks me with a twitching smile.
"...Kuro I think?" I answer honestly while sweating rivers. Why is that you may ask? Because the cat woman still hasn't gotten dressed and is sitting on my lap right now, while her two tails are rubbing against me. Turning my attention from my very pissed off ministra to the cat girl on my lap, who is smirking in amusement at my predicament.
"Yes, I'm the hungry little kitty you picked up off the street nya~" she says, her tone just as mischievous as the look in her eyes." And I slept with him on the first day he brought me here as well nya~"
*snap*
Flinching from the sound of snapping wood, I turn to see that Madoka had broken the coffee table's leg. Oh great, just another reason for them to kick my ass. Is this what female hormones are like? Or is Madoka getting closer to her time of the month? I have a really bad feeling about saying that out loud so I better not.
"It felt really nice to sleep on top of him nya~. Like a really big, fluffy pillow nya~" she continues while purring.
'Oh no, Zazie is breaking her emotionless facade with a face of annoyance! What I would give to see Chachamura right about now!' I thought, mentally weeping and wondering if Nanoha-san, Fate-san and Hayate-san are in a better situation then me right now. Then again, Nanoha-san did have a penchant for beating on someone before befriending them.
Ignoring the shouts from Mana and Akira towards Kuro, I escape to my memories of Uminari city during the whole 'Book of Darkness' debacle. That was not fun and was really annoying how Lisse-san and Lotte-san were the one's helping the rampant program just to seal it. It's a good thing I was able to find what was wrong with Reinforce-san, and was able to dispose of it before something drastic happened. And the look on Hayate-san's face, as well as Signum-san, Shamal-san, Vita-san, and Zafira-san made it all worth the effort in the end. And that's not even mentioning Reinforce-san's tear-felt happiness about not having to harm her master anymore.
(Flashback)
'It's the final day of my stay in Uminari city so I need to say goodbye to everyone.' I thought as I was walking down the snow covered road toward's the hospital Hayate-san stayed in. I notice a light in the park near the hospital and decide to go and investigate it. After all it wouldn't do to leave the city with a problem if I could solve it with relative ease would it?
Rounding the corner I see Fate-san, Nanoha-san and Reinforce-san standing in a clearing with sad looks on there faces.'What is going on here?' is the most prevalent thought going through my mind right now. Getting closer I try and listen to there conversation while taking not of the circle that they stand in I notice that Raising Heart and Bardeche is initialized in it's staff form.
[Ready to set] a voice from the jewel in the center of the staff's head said in a monotone voice.
[Stand by] another voice this time from the head of Fate-san's staff said.
"Haa~ my time here was a short one but I am grateful to all of you for it." Reinforce-san said with a sad, but satisfied tone.
'Not sure what's going on here but I should intervene.' I thought before speaking." What is going on here?" I say, startling all of them. It was then that I noticed all of the Wolkenritter's were also here except Hayate-san.
"Kyaa! Uh... Riku-sensei, what brings you here on this fine night?" Nanoha-san asks with a shade of pink gracing her cheeks.
"Y-yes, sensei. W-why are you here?" Fate-san stammers out also with a shade of pink on her cheeks.
"I was going to say my goodbye's before going back to Whales, when I came across this." sweeping my hands to emphasize." So what is going on here?"
When I say that I was saying my goodbye's, both Fate-san and Nanoha-san hung there heads and were muttering something that I couldn't quite hear. My answer came in the form of Signum-san who walked up to me with a somber expression.
"We are here to give Reinforce the farewell she has asked for, as well as fulfill her request of destroying this version of her." she says with deep sadness in her voice. Looking around I see the same expression on everyone's face except Reinforce, who by Signum-san's words, asked for this. Turning my head to her, I noticed the resignation in her eye's.
"Don't worry sensei. It's alright, I want to do this so I won't have to hurt Hayate-sama anymore then I already have. Besides even if I want to stay, I can't. Not with the self-preservation program as corrupted as it is. So this is the only course of action I can take to save Hayate-sama." she says with a tone that speaks her real feelings on the matter. A tone that say's 'I want to stay by Hayate-sama's side, but if I do I would just end up killing her. And I love her to much to allow such a thing to happen.'
"Reinforce!" a shout was heard from the other side of the clearing." Everyone!" turning our heads we see Hayate-san coming as fast as she could wheel herself wearing a pale white nightgown that was likely supplied by the hospital. Vita-san moves towards Hayate-san but was stopped by Reinforce-san.
"Don't move. Do not move please, my conciseness will stop." she states.
"Stop it! Don't do this!" Hayate-san shouts."Reinforce! Reinforce, you don't need to destroy the book, I'll take care of it I promise I will. It's okay, you don't need to do this." She shouts desperate not to lose one of the members of her family.
"Hayate-sama, it will all be ok in the end." Reinforce-san responds trying to sound sure of herself.
"No it will not! It won't be okay, not at all!"
"I have existed for a long time Hayate-sama, but in the end you became my master and gave me a name. You gave me a purpose and a heart. The knights will always be by your side even if I am gone. You don't have to worry."
"B-but-"
"And that is why I can smile and leave you now." she state's with a sad smile on her face.
"No, I don't like people who don't listen to me, I am your master so you have to do as I say. I'll do something to save you, I swear! We promised we would never lose control again, we promised! Hayate-san shouted louder then before, desperate to try and sway Reinforce-san to stopping this nonsense.
'Yes, and that is a promise you have kept. However a magical vessel's duty is to protect the master from any and all harm, including itself. Please Hayate-sama, I ask that you allow me to choose the best way to protect you, my dear little master." she respond's, and with each word I can see and feel the hearts of everyone sink even further then before at the departure of their new friend/family member. Looking at Hayate-san's face I see she is close to tears and desperately trying to find a way to save that which she cares for.
Having enough of this situation I decide to give them a farewell gift. From me to them. Steeping into the circle, I approach Reinforce-san and the tome she has floating in front of her.
"Sensei?" Hayate-san mutters as I approach with all eye's on me. Taking the tome in my hands I begin to do something for them all.
"Riku-sensei, what are you doing?!" Reinforce-san asks a bit worried about my intentions.
"Doing what I have to. After all I hate it when my students cry." I reply channeling as much mana as I could.
"Raise [Hear me spirits. I ask of you to find that which corrupts this soul and remove it. Purify it and allow it to serve it's purpose as she has chosen.]" I chant pouring my mana into the spell.
The spell caused a winds to blow in all directions as the spirits were answering my call. Soon all of the spirits enter the tome to find what I seek and to destroy it. I have to ignore the shouts of surprise and those telling me to stop as I had to concentrate as best I could to save Reinforce-san. After some time, the spirits find what I'm looking for but I don't have enough power to remove it.
'Damn it, why am I so weak when it matters most?' looking around I see the worried faces of Signum-san, Nanoha-san, Fate-san, Hayate-san, Reinforce-san, Shamal-san, Vita-san and Zafira-san.'No! I won't fail them!' I shout mentally as I pump as much of my mana into the spell as I could, and when that wasn't enough I supplemented mana with my life force, as my dragon magic was the closest thing to dark magic without being dark magic. I pour my heart and soul into one wish,' I want to save her.', and my prayer was answered when the corruption was destroyed.
After a time I collapse in a heap, exhausted but otherwise fine.
"SENSEI!" a shout resonated from all around me. Looking I see everyone crowded around me with worried faces.
"I'm fine. It's fine. Everything is fine now." I say handing the tome back to Hayate-san." There you go Hayate-san, there's no need to cry anymore. I fixed it all." I said with a smile.
"W-what? What do you mean?" Reinforce asks bewildered by what I said.
Chuckling a little I respond." I fixed you. I asked the spirits to find what was corrupting your programming and got rid of it, so you might feel a little off for some time after this," I smile and continue." But at least you'll be with your family right, Reinforce-san. This is my farewell gift to you all. It might not be much, but I think it fits."
(Flashback end)
After that the girls went to the Asura to get a check up on Reinforce-san, and found that one of the programs from the protection system was missing and would need further observation to see the results. Of course, Amy-san and Lindy-san saw nothing wrong and so Reinforce-san was able to live with Hayate-san under observation, just to make sure that it was going to be smooth from then on. Reinforce was so happy she hugged me and wouldn't let me go until my flight back to Whales, much to the ire of some of the girls, for some reason.
Lindy-san was a little enthusiastic to learn that there was not only a magic community here on earth but that there was an alternate reality for the magic kingdom. I wonder how they have been? It's been about seven years since I've last seen them, so the girls are starting high school if I remember right. I wonder if Lindy-san made contact with at least one of the magic kingdoms now that the turmoil it was suffering has subsided? But then again I lost contact with them after the attack on Whales. After all, I had to make sure Negi was doing alright after that event, and with the attack of that stone demon it showed that he needed more help then he let on.
If not for Kotaro-kun and Akari-san I'm sure that he would have done something stupid, since I was dealing with master Eva's training at the time I couldn't help out like I should have. But with Kotaro-san's help Negi was eventually able to let go of it for some time. And really, they should be proud of the fact that they could do what very few could, take on a C class demon at there level of skill and win.
Then there was that whole trouble with the Mahora fest, dealing with Chao-san and Yuki-san, and still trying to help Negi find uncle Nagi. Sometime's I wonder if uncle just like messing with people, but then I met Jack and to this day I give thanks that he is how he is and not worse. I'm not sure if I can fathom a world with two people who could punch dimensions apart. Thinking back to the Mahora fest, I remember all the hectic chaos that came about with the Cassiopia and the time loop.
"SENSEI!"
I was brought out of my reminiscence with the sound of a very angry Akira. Looking I notice that while I was escaping reality they seemed to have settled on something and were on... strained terms to say the least. Well at least the room is still intact.
"...Yes?" I answer hesitantly. After all I don't want to incite another fight.
"Come on, we need to get ready for school. So take a bath,get changed and let's eat breakfast . We have about fifty minutes before we have to go." she says losing her earlier steam.
So I go and get ready, using magic to make the bath's bigger before going to get my towel and a change of clothes. Looking around I see Mana and Madoka discussing sleeping arrangement's with Kuro, while Ako and Zazie were in the kitchen finishing up breakfast, though I could tell they were still miffed about Kuro sleeping with me, while Akira goes to her room and gets ready. Gonna need more space so might as well use magic for it later today.
After a delicious breakfast, Hyoudou-kun decided to walk with us to school, as we were going in the same direction anyway. Though I think only Ako thought it was just that he was being nice, seeing as Mana was giving him the evil eye.
Kuro, or as she introduced herself Kuroka, was back home as she didn't go to school and was the oldest of all of us. As we approach the gate's there were a lot of students looking at us in surprise and speaking.
"Who are they?"
"Hey, shouldn't she be in like, collage?"
"Who care's, she hot!"
"Why is Issei with them?"
"Oh man, they look way out of our league."
"That boy is pretty good looking, but why is he wearing a suit?"
These and more were said about us as we made our way to through the gate. We part ways after we enter school grounds as I had to get to the faculty office to set up, and they needed to get to there classes. It's going to be a long year from now on.
After everything was set up, I headed to my classes. Oddly enough, the class was 2-A, same as the Mahora class 2-A. (I'm pretty sure it wasn't, but you know, bsing some of the story.) Walking through the hallways, I have to ignore the eye's that were trailing on me from the straggling students who were going to classes.' *Sigh* why are they looking at me? Did I do something wrong?'
Ever since I came into the school I've been having a lot of the female students starring at me and muttering something, while the male students were glaring at me. This is almost as uncomfortable as when I started helping Negi teach at Mahora. Granted, they were more excepting but still. Sighing I come up to my class as the bell rings, signaling the start of class. I really hope Mana doesn't polish her guns during her classes.
Entering the class, I am greeted by murmuring about who I was, and I was able to pick out some of it.
"Hey it's that guy from this morning. What's he doing here?"
"Oh yeah, the one who was walking with that pervert Issei."
"Does that mean he's a pervert too?"
"I don't know... he doesn't look the type."
"GOD DAMN IT! ANOTHER PRETTY BOY!"
Well at least they seem enthusiastic about something. At least some of them are." Good morning class. My name is Riku Springfield, and I will be your english teacher as well as your homeroom teacher for the term. I hope we can get along." I say with a bow and a smile.
There was a moment of silence after my announcement. Until.
"WHAT?!"
Story end.
Okay chapter finished, and it's over 4000 words due to the flashback. I think however that it's a nice set-up for the future.
This is something I've been wondering about as I'm not sure how many would be on board with this idea. What would you say to having Riku become a devil? It's a simple question that needs a simple answer.
There will be more added in later for the harems.
Riku's Harem: Sona, Koneko, Kuroka, Rias, Akeno, Serafall, Xenovia, Raynare, Kalawarnar, Yasaka, Rossweisse, Ako, Akira, Mana, Zazie, and Madoka.
Issei's Harem: Asia, Irina, Tsubasa, Momo, Jeanne, Tomoe, Abe, La Fey, and the Ariadne girls except class rep once I remember there name's or get lazy and look it up.
Yes the magic kingdom will get involved with a surprise in how. Yes I am going to include them because who doesn't want to see Jack defy logic more then he already has?
Now for the threat class's. These class's go from E to S, E being the lowest and S being the highest.
Class E: Human without combat training, or anything without anyway to defend themselves. I.E. Asia and most humans.
Class D: low demon's/devil's, below average/ beginner mages or humans with formal training at intermediate level. I.E. Stray devils, and non-combat yokai.
Class C: Mid demon/devil's, average/ intermediate mages or humans with expert level training. I.E. Sona and Rias (current without training), Xenovia (human), and Akeno (without fallen magic).
Class B: High demon/devil's, advance mages, human hybrid's and master rank combatants, high ranking yokai. I.E. Riku and Negi (without erebia), Mana, Zazie, La Fey, Yue, and the Ariadne girls.
Class A: Ultimate demon/devil's, master class mages and royalty, Yokai legends. I.E. Riku and Negi (erebia), Maoh's, Seraph's, the top of Grigori, Evangeline and Rakan (when not breaking laws of the universe).
Class S: God like entities and creator class people. I.E. The Almighty One (God from the bible), Odin (In his prime), Lifemaker and Rakan (when breaking the laws of the universe).
And there you have it, the threat class system. Ise is not placed as an example because with the boosted gear, he will appear on all threat levels, but in the beginning he is classified as rank E.
Anyway, that's all for now, see you next time.
