Chapter 4a: Class 3-A's new Classmate; Kyoto arc (I) Informative Chapter (II)

Negi explained everything to the dean, his involvement with the fairy, the castle they transported into, him being transformed into a chupacabra and finally the arrival of the strikers, the dean listened to everything Negi said, and nodded after Negi finished his explanation,

"and that's how we were teleported back here dean," Negi breathed after a long explanation, he watched as the dean turned to him nodded his head in approval.

"Everything you explained today is what Takahata-sensei reported to me," the elder Konoe said putting his hand on his chin, thinking for a moment then looked at Evangeline, "Evangeline, what do you think this means?"

"I cannot give a full explanation to what is happening old man," Evangeline huffed, Takamichi scolded her on her behavior but the dean quickly silenced the teacher. "but I can guess that the person whose holding the crystal now, has a connection to boya, but that's all."

The people in the room looked at Negi then back at Evangeline, after a moments of silence the elder Konoe coughed getting everyone's attention.

"Anyhow, the boarding arrangement for this two are now in session," the elder Konoe said as he took a seat. "Since these two are engaged, there is no reason for us to be separating them," he looked at Takamichi and said. "Takahata-sensei, make sure that these two are living near the faculty dorms since Jason-sensei will be employed here,"

The tall teacher nodded his head in approval then, looked at the two who quickly nodded their head, and then the elder Konoe once again gained their attention.

"Now that every matter is settled, you can return back to your posts today, Jason-sensei, you will start tomorrow, and Luna-kun you will be joining 3-A tomorrow okay?" the elder Konoe summarized filling the papers in his desk, ushering everyone to leave the room.

"Yes, Principal-sama!" Jason and Luna answered bowing.

Everyone was leaving the room, when the elder Konoe called one more time, "oh and by the way, Jason-sensei, Luna-kun we also have another people came from the magical academy, it's moutsu-kun, Shichimi-chan, I saw them earlier and they are in the faculty room if you two want to talk to them,"

Negi was the Last to leave the room, he locked the door and looked at the people looking back at him, Evangeline already left moving back to the room, he remembered the two familiars who turned him into a chupacabra. "Speaking of moutsu-san and Shichimi-san, I haven't seen them after we returned here,"

"Who?" Jason asked confused, he looked at his fiancée who also had a questioning gaze.

"The other people I mean familiars who were sent here from the Magic Academy, Jason-san" Chamo answered puffing a chocolate cigarette, he recalled the two familiars as it was yesterday. "Moutsu-san is a familiar who took the shape of a frog, while Shichimi-san is in cat form." As soon as Negi and Chamo explained, Jason looked at Luna then the small girl nodded; they looked at Takahata-sensei with a pleading look.

"Takahata-sensei, we would like to talk to them for a while if you wouldn't mind," Jason explained to the older teacher, and then he continued. "We would like to discuss to them about the job if possible."

"I guess," Takahata answered, then he looked at the smaller teacher near him, "well since I would like to discuss this to the girls so I guess its okay, but do you want us to escort you?"

"No it won't be necessary Takahata-sensei," Luna answered, smiling. "It's sort of important, don't worry we will find the faculty room,"

The two teachers nodded then they separated , Takahata and Negi moving towards the room where the class awaits them, then the Magistra and Minister went towards the faculty room.

(Faculty room)

Shichimi and Moutsu were both familiars created by the thousand master; Nagi Springfield, Negi's father; they were both send to supervise Negi and to make sure that he becomes safe, and the incident regarding his students finding him a wizard and turning him into an animal was also part of their plan, now that both of this were finished they have to return and report everything to their master.

"would you like to hurry up Moustu," Shichimi purred to her partner annoyed, on her side her stuff ready for departure.

"You can't rush good packing," Moutsu the frog replied back packing his things into a small luggage. "In a good way,"

In the incident regarding the third party, as things proceeded the way both of them didn't expect as two other person the Magic academy came; their cover up was at risk so they tried to keep at it a low profile until things cool down and this is the perfect time to do it.

"But if we don't hurry those two might find out about us," Shichimi replied back she hurriedly help the frog in packing things to the annoyance of the frog, they didn't notice that the door to the faculty room opened.

"You worry to much cat," Moutsu replied packing the Last piece of souvenir to give to their master. "Those two won't find out, in a good way,"

"Find out about what Moutsu-san?" a voice questioned.

"oh nothing, just about the two of us not really coming from the Magic academy that's-" Moutsu replied looking back to see Jason, behind him his fiancée smiling; Moutsu bit his tongue and tried to escape but his body was caught by Jason's hand stopping him, and Shichimi was also caught by a 'ignis capturae' by the small girl, the two familiars sweat furiously as they watch Jason and Luna smirked deviously.

"So, you two didn't come from the western magical association," Jason said, griping harder on Moutsu's body, he already knows it's futile to kill the frog since the fog has a temporary body. "So that means Luna said to me was true, isn't that right honey,"

The girl next to him nodded, and put her finger in her cheek smiling. "when Principal-sama said that both of you came from the western magical association, I have no choice but to check your names and guess what, no familiars naming Shichimi and Moutsu were assigned here and those name don't exist so let us ask you two-"

The two familiars gulped knowing that the jig is up.

"Who are you two? And who do you work for?" both of them asked in unison, when they realized what they said they looked at each other and smiled, then looking back at their captors. Shichimi and Moutsu panicked, leaving no choice but to escape, both of them glow a bright shade of white temporary blinding the couple and when both of them opened their eyes Shichimi and Moutsu were gone and their belongings have also disappeared.

"They escaped," Jason said surveying the empty faculty room.

"Let's follow them," Luna suggested, motioning for the door,"

"No, let them be,"

"Why?" his fiancée asked confused.

"We got more things to do," Jason said as he saw some dark orbs in the room move towards another location. "And this one's more powerful,"

"Who?" Luna asked curious, grabbing his hand affectionately.

"it's about the person I encountered in that castle," Jason answered, smiling on her gesture, then they walked towards the place Jason noticed. "I'll tell you on the way and prepared, we May have to fight him."

Luna nodded as they went upstairs towards the roof, passing some students who looked at them; some curious some smiling mischievously as they saw their clasped hands.

(At the rooftop)

The Black Rose Baron; or Negi's older sister, Nekane Springfield, is looking at the darkness forming in front of her; the masked baron opened her hand in front of the formation of darkness then she muttered a spell, in seconds the darkness exploded, disappearing seconds later, she sighed and turned around to see a person familiar to her, the person he encountered in the castle.

(Flashback)

The black rose baron sighed as she fought another wave of darkness in front of her; when the whole absorption towards the castle; she waited in a place where she can ambush the small Negi to have a small chat with him but things turn worse as the place were quickly overrun by darkness trying to consume her.

"things became more difficult that I imagined." She muttered to herself as she disperse more shadows , then she felt something moving fast, following her instincts she quickly turned around and blocked a sword with her cane. She looked up to see a boy '15 years old' she guessed. 'black hair; she pushed the boy forward and prepared for anything.

"who are you?" she asked curiously in her man voice.

"I'm sorry," the boy spoke in English bowing his head. "I thought you were also one of 'those' things."

"well sorry but I am not," she answered disappointed at being accused of one of those things.

"maybe because your wearing too much makeup and those clothes are all black," the boy said not dropping his guard. "I'm sorry to be rude, the names striker; Jason striker and you are?"

'a weird name,' she thought 'but the surname's quite familiar,' she shook the thought away and opened her mouth to introduce but they both noticed another wave of darkness moving towards them, both knowing what the other is thinking they both turned back on each other and fought the darkness.

When the fighting is over Jason turned around o find that he is all alone in the empty corridor.

"Arg!" Jason growled annoyed, "what's up with people disappearing now a day? It's very irritating!"

(Flashback End)

"Hello sir, nice meeting you again," Jason greeted the masked Springfield in front of him; his fiancée looked at the man questionably. "Masked guy,"

"Oh, if it's the young swordsman, what's your name again," the baron spoke, bowing in a gentleman's manner. "Oh yeah, Jason, what is that you want from me?"

"I'd like to continue what we left, when you disappeared leaving me in that corridor," Jason said annoyed at her.

"well I'm sorry to left you young Jason," the baron apologized to him smiling, then he noticed the girl behind him, she looked at the baron curiously, the baron's eyes wandered lower seeing their clasped hands; she smiled to them looking back at their faces. "and who is this girl, I guess that she is your Magistra,"

(A/N: remember that they were speaking in English so I will remove the –san or any formality every time they spoke.)

"I asked that first sir," Jason growled, he didn't know why but the guy's face rubs him the wrong way. Luna watched worriedly as she saw the tension between the two.

"really sorry to be rude," the baron bowed again, she posed as she made an introduction, "I am the ambassador of love and friendship, they call me the Black rose baron!"

"black rose Baron," Luna repeated in awe, she watched the illusion of falling black petals from behind the baron. "That's so cool!" (A/N: for the people who don't know what the pose is watch the anime)

"Luna? Are you alright?" Jason looked to his fiancée and gawked at her face. "You call that cool?"

"Yep, I'm really happy to accept this mission!" Luna giggled like a schoolgirl, "I really want to watch people cosplay and seeing him like that, wee, Japan is soo cool!"

Both the baron and Jason sweat dropped at her answer, not believing what the girl is saying like 'Japan is so cool', they both shook their heads and returned to what they are doing.

"What do you want here?" Jason asked his expression less serious now, after what his fiancée displayed the tension seems to drop. "Are you affiliated with those two familiars?"

"Two familiars?" the baron asked the he remembered, "sorry but I'm not," he looked at them and threw them a black rose which the younger boy caught it. "I'm really in a hurry," the baron turned around and jumped below.

"hey wait!" Jason run towards the edge. "I'm not done with you yet!" when he went to the edge he looked down to see nothing but students walking entering/exiting the building. "What's up with people disappearing instantly this days? Sheesh!"

"Don't worry about him darling," Luna said in a reassuring voice. "He already said enough,"

"What do you mean?"

"He said his name is black rose baron isn't he," Luna stating this fact.

"Yes, why is that?" Jason replied looking at her curiously.

"Remember where black roses grew on," Luna smiled.

"wales," Jason said remembering the book he read it on, then realizing things. "so that means-"

"Yes, the baron is some how connected to Negi Springfield, and the reason why the star crystal has been stolen is also somehow connected to this baron person," Luna concluded smiling when she noticed her fiancées expression.

"You are so clever, honey," Jason smirked moving closer to his fiancée, "I loved that about you,"

Luna blushed and closed the gap between them, they kissed for a few moment before walking back towards the classroom 3-A so they can look for their room.

To be continued:

I have plans for him/her anyhow I'm done for this week so wait until Sunday again (Probably Monday on Philippine time) to update again, anyhow Kotarou will appear on the 5th chapter chronologically, of course his partner is Natsume, about Moutsu and Shichimi will not appear for more chapters they will appear in the Battle of Mahora arc(edited version) other than that wait for updates…I guess that's it for this chapter…

Review/ Messages response..

Sir leo: Thanks for the guess, I'll take that into account but a 'mask' is not fitting for an ultimate artifact, since I made it a race It means that the ultimate artifact is composed of 5 other artifacts and the 1st part is the star crystal (oops I said too much) but thanks for the message and I hope you continue to read..

Sir Thousand Wing : Thanks for the review, your right am a Filipino and My update time is the same as both our time so wait for the update every Monday, thanks for the review!

I guess that's it for today!

Till next time!

Bye!
