Oh my god! an other review! well this is this month's update and since it's coming in early there might be one more before december
To answer the question that was asked: there will be Negi/pretty much every one else (but especially, Asuna, Nodoka and the last OC that will be introduced in a few chaps), also Nicolas/Evangeline pairings but of course there might be others I haven't thought of or suggestions (that are of course very much welcome)
And to go back on the future M warning in the summary, this does not mean sex...it means blood,violence,sexual references,bad language and maybe WAAAY down the line some citrus flavored scene.
Any way, here you go! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
"How nice of you to drop by...Lucifer" Nicolas said.
The man, dressed in his black trench coat, looked around without answering. Noticing the small group and the powerful spells around them, he frowned. Looking back to Nicolas, he took off his hat and put something that looked like a cigar in his mouth. Slowly energy started to rise from the ground, entering the tip of the cigar, and the grass and plants around him turned brown, dying.
"Now why'd you have to go and do that... I'm starting to feel like you don't like me Nicolas and it's very vexing" The voice in which the devil spoke seemed to be a mix of some British accent and the sound of a thousand tortured souls.
Nicolas resisted the urge to run away screaming he always had when he felt the energy of the being in front of him.
"Oh let's make it clear! I don't like you. I'm not afraid of you because I know you won't hurt me...you need me...them not so much. So I'm just being careful, it's never a luxury around you" even though the hatred was obvious, Nicolas stayed calm and didn't show any sign of weakness to the demon.
In the small group under the shield Kotaru was getting restless.
"What are we doing hiding behind the barrier? We should be kicking that demon's ass not waiting for some teen to hand us to him on a platter!" Being powerless in any situation made him angry.
"I honestly don't think you want to step out of the barrier right now" Negi's voice, even if generally calm, was particularly low and shaky. "Look at the energy in the clearing...it's all getting sucked by that demon... to be able to even stand there and talk to him must require levels of energy I can't even dream of being able to reach right now".
He was right. What originally was but a patch of grass was now a great circle in which everything was dead and dried up, only the teenager and the demon seemed unaffected.
"Why are you here Lucifer? Don't tell me there were no other Greater demons in the area and you, the big bad boss, needed to investigate!" Nicolas burst into a bitter laughter as the demon showed the first sign of reaction. "But seriously...why are you here? Surely it can't be for me, or did you already forget what happened last time you tried to kill me" he added gesturing to Lucifer's left arm, which still hadn't moved. "Did you find a way to heal it yet? It looked pretty nasty last time I saw it".
"You think you are high and mighty don't you worm?" the demon's attitude had changed, he was aggressive now. "I'm not here for you... well yes I'm here to deliver a message... from him...Now I see you've noticed that you're full powers have been returned but don't forget you have a timer running now... one year! You have one year before we destroy you're pathetic little world and he gets to play with your soul for all of eternity" Putting his hat back on he vanished like mist.
Nicolas sighed and slowly walked back to Negi's bunch, dismissing the magic barriers with a single touch.
"I promise I'll explain everything once we get back and after a good night sleep. You should all stay close to me for a moment" Nicolas turned around and chanted his mass teleportation spell. "Magisterialis incantatum voiti!"
And they were gone...
... suddenly crashing back into solid state they arrived at their destination with a loud pop.
Nicolas used to the effects of the "jumps" turned around to see how every one else was doing. Negi, Kotaru and Asuna being more resistant to magic had already shrugged the dizzyness but other like nodoka were still on the ground gasping for air. Never one to hold her thoughts Hasegawa was the first to speak up.
"Ok! Can we never do that again?...ever!"still a little green she was glaring at Nicolas thinking 'well great! an other mage to ruin my life'
" Well i'm sorry for the discomfort but i just had to decompose us all on a molecular level, move us and then reconstruct everything" Nicolas turned around to face her, a faintly arrogant smile barely visible on his face "Just be gratefull your nose hasn't been ... misplaced"
This comment generated a small wind of terror from the girls of the group, who then proceeded to checking themselves. Turning around laughing, he saw Kotaru and Negi staring at him intently.
"who are you" Negi asked
"I thought Ihad told you that? no? okay for now you can call me Nicolas" the Teenager aswerd
"do you have a last name Nicolas?" Kotaru asked, a little less politely then Negi
"maybe... but for now i just want to sleep" and turning aroundto face the rest of the group he added " You all should sleep well tonight, for those who recognize the surroundings we are back at Mahora and for tonight we will sleep in the new dormatory wich is currently empty"
"Shouldn't we advise the dean that we've come back?" Negi asked
"Oh they know, in fact...3...2...1...right about now!"Nicolas turnedaround and towards the campus.
"NEGI SPRINGFIELD! HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME WAIT THIS LONG YOU UNGRATEFUL APRENTICE!" a loud voice screamed
Sudenly white, Negi turned around to look at Nicolas "how long did you say we were gone?"
"Just a bit over tree years" Nicolas answerd laughing as he walked away while Evangeline appeared right next to the group
just before he was out of ears reach he heard Negi wisper " Oh crap!"
