Author notes:
Well hello guys! This is the 15th chapter of this fic and the 6B chapter chronologically, as always before I start this chapter I have to say a few stuffs. Since it's the first day of October and I'm free because of the events in the school I'm updating!, anyhow that's for the people who have read my last chapter…, I'm also very sorry for the grammatical errors my chapters bring, I'm really trying myself to lessen or at least read my chapters before I post them, so I'm very sorry if you guys are still able to notice grammatical errors.

Notes:
Now that we are entering the Kyoto arc, the updates are like this. Any chapter that has (I) in it, it means that the chapters setting is on morning (AM), while (II) on Afternoons(PM 1-5) while (III) are on nights (6-12pm) we all know that the nights have main events in it so that chapter will be longer than the other ones (this only applicable in the Kyoto arc). Remember this is based on the anime Negima? So some of the facts displayed be the anime is the same as this but this story will follow the original manga storyline but with editions I made up by myself, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 6B: Kyoto day 1 (III): Storyline Chapter/ Explanation Chapter
Night time came at Kyoto and the scenery there change as fast as the sun came down, lights from nearby houses and buildings are the only things brightening Kyoto; especially in a hotel where the students and teachers from Mahora academy lodge for the rest of the trip.
"I told you, Chamo-kun, the baron is not a spy," Negi said to the white ermine that was on his shoulder as he removes the buttons on his suit; since the sun came down the spell that was binding him and Yue were now dispelled and the both of them were glad that it was removed not only because it was embarrassing and the events that happened afterwards that left both of them act shyly towards each other; as the boy teacher took off all of his clothes he and Chamo went to the hot spring bath. As the boy teacher slowly sink into the warm water the white fairy explained his reason.
"But Aniki! That masked man was there exactly where that bird-thing go! That was not coincidence if you ask me aniki!" the white fairy said as he sits on a nearby rock and watches the stars above.
"well, the baron is a powerful wizard after al, he might have sensed that bird from afar, Chamo-kun," Negi argued as he put a towel on top of his head as he feel the warmth of the bath.
"Well I still don't trust that guy, better get your guard up Aniki," Chamo said as he took a chocolate cigarette from nowhere and lit it up.
The boy didn't reply as he thinks of his encounter with his presumed father; minutes passed since the teacher and his fairy entered the hot spring; both of them didn't notice as the door to the bath opened and a person entered the said bath and sank into the water.
"Aniki," Chamo called to the boy-teacher as he looks at the stars with the cigarette in hand.
"What is it, Chamo-kun?" Negi asked as he opens his eyes and look at the fairy questionably.
"What do you think will happen in this trip?" Chamo asked what's on his mind.
"I don't know, Chamo-kun," Negi said worried. "I don't know," after that silenced filled the air once again, not until the person who entered spoke.
"Don't worry too much, Negi-sensei," the person said making the two of them jumped at the same time. "everything's going to be alright, I hope,"
"Who's there!" Chamo shouted to the darkness as the only thing he sees are fogs created by the heat of the bath.
"wait Chamo-kun, that voice," Negi said as he recognize the voice, seconds later the water on the bath started to make ripples as the figure of the person slowly walking towards the two, seconds later the person appeared in front of the two of them; it was the black-haired librarian: Jason Striker.
"Jason-san," Negi said as he looks in the face of the boy then to his body; Jason was currently topless as the lower half of his body is hidden in the water. Negi and Chamo saw Jason's torso has a large vertical scar that went down his stomach and it was obviously created by a blade.
"Good evening, Negi-sensei," Jason replied smiling. "Good evening to you too, Chamo-san,"
"What are you doing here?" Chamo asked as his guard is on it's critical lever, suspecting the boy as a spy.
"Well, taking a bath of course," Jason replied not noticing the looks the ermine is throwing at him.
"That's not what I'm talking about!" the ermine replied annoyed at the answer.
"So, what are you talking about?" Jason asked confused.
"Um, let's change the topic okay," Negi said as he notices the tension the fairy was emitting. "Let's not fight here okay,"
"Sure," Jason replied as he eyes the fairy with carefulness.
"Fine with me Aniki," Chamo said then looking at the boy he said. "I'm watching you,"
"If you don't mind me asking," Negi asked as he points the large scar on the black-haired boy's chest. "Jason-san, where did you get that scar?"
"You see-"Jason replied but he was cut off when another person spoke.
"Darling got that protecting me," a voice answered as both Negi and Chamo were shocked once again.
"Luna-san?" Negi asked as he recognizes the girl's voice. "when did, no, what are you doing here?"
"Well first, I was here earlier than you," Luna's voice answer but her figure was not seen due to the fog. "Second, the schedule for the bath this time is mixed so it's okay for me to be here with you guys, although I won't show myself, for personal reasons,"
"Mixed bath?" Negi asked confused then remembering the schedule for the bath he became embarrassed for some reason.
"Where are you, Ane-san?" Chamo asked as his perverted grim was slowly showing itself as the boy noticed it immediately.
"Don't even think about it, fairy," Jason warned as he slowly walk away from the two towards the fog.
"You said Jason-san got that scar while protecting you, Luna-san?" Negi asked feeling hot due to the warm water.
"Yes, I said that," Luna replied. "Why sensei?"
"Can you tell me what happened?" Negi asked.
"well, it happened three years ago, me and darling were only starting as members of the magical association. A person robbed the archives in the academy and he stole a book and judging from the order we received, I think it was a really precious book anyways when we finally found the suspect he tried to attack me and the rest is as you call tell," Luna's voice was heard somewhere in the bath area.
"It was a pretty hard battle because we were just beginners but, we were lucky that we end up alive," Jason's voice answered from somewhere.
"It wasn't luck, darling is really amazing!" Luna answered. "If you had seen him that time you would be amazed, and this scar makes him more manly, hehe"
"Hey Luna, what! no, stop touching me!" Jason's voice was now heard in a more embarrassed tone. "Negi-sensei is here!"
"But you look so hot topless," Luna snickered.
Negi sweatdropped at the antics of the couple but he smiled seeing the bond that the couple is showing, on the other hand Chamo has his ermine nose bleeding just thinking of what the couple is saying. The door to the bath opened and this time Negi and Chamo heard it opened, as they look to who is entering the bath area; it was Negi's student, Setsuna.
"Setsuna-san?" Negi asked as he watches his student put some kind of paper on the wooden wall at the bath area. "What is she doing here?"
"Judging from her clothes, she is not here to take a bath," Chamo said as he looks at the girl who was dressed in her Mahora uniform.
"I hope sensei will understand if I tell him the truth," Setsuna said as she sticks the paper o the wall, unknown to her that she is being watched.
"The truth?" Negi asked as he listens intently to what his student is saying.
"Maybe she is the spy!" Chamo said his voice louder; it was so loud that the samurai girl heard it.
"Who's there?" Setsuna shouted as she prepares her sword, looking at foggy bath area she slowly walked forward. "Show yourself!"
"She's coming this way!" Chamo said in panic. "Do something Aniki!"
"What should I do?" Negi replied as he searches for his portable wand. "She is my student, I can't hurt her!"
"Found you!" Setsuna said as she runs forward when she sensed her enemy's presence.
"Aniki!" Chamo yelled as he watch the samurai girl run towards them.
"Essence of the Shinmeryuu!" Setsuna said as she makes her stance with her sword. "Rock splitter!"
Negi quickly walked backward dodging the attack as the sword hit a stone quickly slicing it in half, reacting quickly the teacher fires a disarming spell.
"Franz exarmatio!" Negi said as he points his star-shaped wand in the girl's sword; a single white arrow appeared as move towards the sword hitting it making the girl unarmed.
"Good job Aniki!" Chamo cheered as he watches the events go in their favor.
"That's what you think!" Setsuna replied still not seeing his enemy through the fog. Running quickly towards her opponent she quickly put her hand in the water towards her opponent's sensitive part.
Negi is so shocked that he is immobilized by his student has done.
"Who are you! If you don't answer me, I swear I'll destroy this!" Setsuna threatened as the face of her opponent is still blinded by the fog, then she felt something cold in her neck, looking down she saw a sword inches near her throat.
"I don't think that will be necessary, Setsuna-kun," a voice replied through the fog. "Negi sensei will need that thing in the future so if you don't let go of your hand, I will have to do drastic measures."
"Huh? Negi-sensei?" Setsuna asked as she listen to the voice explanation, as the fog slowly disappear the face of her supposed opponents appeared, she was so shocked to find out that the person she tried to attack is her homeroom teacher, loosing her grip on the thing she quickly explained things with a blush on her face. "You see sensei, I was um, trained to hit my opponent's weak points, I um didn't knew that you were my opponent, I'm sorry Negi-sensei"
The teacher still didn't reply as he was so shocked at what happened.
"So you're the spy, Ane-san!" Chamo pointed as he jumps up and down from his position. "You're from the Kansai magic association!"
"What!" Setsuna replied as she tried to move but she was immobilized due to the sword near her throat, "I'm not a spy sensei! You have to believe me!"
"It's your choice, Negi-sensei," Jason said as he put the second sword in the girl's stomach. "What should we do to your student?"
"I think we should talk this one out," Negi replied as he returned to his senses. "But first, Jason-san please let go of Setsuna-san,"
"Sure, no problem," Jason replied as the two swords disappear instantly. "if you two don't mind, I have to tell this to Luna,"
"Huh? Where is she anyways?" Negi asked as he noticed that the brown-haired girl's presence disappeared.
"well, she retuned to her room the same time Setsuna-kun entered the bath," Jason replied as he walks away from the three. "Luna doesn't stay too long in hot water, she said that it ruins her hair, on and by the way, I'll be going that way," the boy points to the other door that heads outside, "I saw someone entering the other one and If I remember correctly it was Konoka-kun and Asuna-kun, I don't want to see them strip in front of me or Luna will kill me, bye!"
Negi and Setsuna watch as the black haired boy leave the bath area; Setsuna is looking at the boy's back with seriousness while thinking.
'I didn't even notice him walk behind me,' Setsuna thought as she looks for her sword. 'Better watch out, he's stronger than he looks,'
"So, Samurai Ane-san, better explain to us what you are talking about earlier," Chamo said to the girl as she is looking for her sword.
"Yes Chamo-san, Negi-sensei," Setsuna replied as she found her sword and returning it in it's shelter, but before she can start the bath area was filled with a scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" a scream was heard and it make the three of them panic.
"What! What's happening?" Negi asked as he heard the scream.
"Ojou-sama!" Setsuna said as she recognize the voice, "Oh no!" then the three of them quickly went to the changing area. As they enter the changing room the first thing they saw shocked them, dozens of identical monkeys flood the area as Konoka and Asuna fought them as the one-tailed animal play a tag of war with their clothes.
"hey stop pulling! That's my uniform!" Asuna yelled as she pulls her t-shirt against a number of monkeys, she is wearing her white bra and her skirt and it was obviously she was changing when the whole-thing happened, "this is mine! Let go!"
"What are monkeys doing here?" Negi asked in panic as he looks at the scene in front of him. As the monkeys heard the teacher's voice they looked at the new arrivals in unison before going after their target, Konoka who was wearing a bath robe.
"Sechan! Help me!" Konoka screamed as she was getting carried by a number of monkeys, she was only carried a few meters before the samurai girl charged them with her sword.
"Essence of the Shinmeryuu!" Setsuna chanted as she quickly ran towards the monkey with her sword, making circular motions she used her Ki to attack the familiars in one sweep. "Chaos of a Thousand Flowers!"
All of the monkeys quickly dispelled as the circular Ki slashed them all at once; their captive was thrown in the air only for a few seconds before Setsuna catches her as the Ki displaying cherry blossoms fill the air.
"Are you okay Ojou-sama?" Setsuna asked as she looked at her friends face.
"Yes, Sechan," Konoka smiled as her friend slowly put her on the ground. "Thank you very much, Sechan!"
Negi sighed in relief as he watch the situation died down in an instant; Chamo who was doubting the samurai girl's intention quickly change his mind not to trust the girl after seeing what she has done.
"Negi," Asuna said as she looks at the teacher with a stern expression. "You better tell me what's going on here, or else!"
(Time skip: a few minutes)
After the incident in the changing room; Konoka quickly returned to their room because of exhaustion. Asuna, Chamo, Negi and Setsuna moved to the lobby as the white ermine explains everything to the tall girl.
"That's what happened, Ane-san," Chamo said as he summarized that happened earlier but left some parts missing because it's personal to his friend. "At first I thought that samurai Ane-san was a spy but what happened earlier made me rethink my accusation."
"Hmm, I see, so 3-A is being targeted by some weird magic association," Asuna said as she puts her finger in her chin thinking. "You're a magnet for this kind of thing eh, Negi?" she said before looking at the teacher's face smiling. "So how can I help?"
"Before we can think of a plan," Negi said as he thinks of a plan, looking at her samurai student he smiled. "What is that you said about the truth earlier Setsuna-san,"
"Well you see," Setsuna said as she looks at the lobby they were in looking for anyone suspicious, after seeing its all clear she continued. "The truth is that I was once a member of the Kansai magic association, sensei,"
Setsuna explained everything to the three, her childhood about, Konoka and even the eastern magic and its difference to western magic. (A/N if you want to know just read the manga, it's too long for me to include it here,)
"I see, so that's why," Asuna said as she smiled before standing up and stretching for a bit. "So Negi, what's our course of action?"
As soon as Asuna stopped her sentence she noticed a familiar person enter the lobby, it was the black-haired librarian; Jason who was wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of cargo pants.
"Jason-san!" Asuna called to the boy as she remembers that she can ask for the boy for help.
"Oh, Asuna-kun," Jason said as he walks towards the group with a questionably expression; then he noticed Negi and Setsuna and greeted them which the two greeted back. "What do you want Asuna-kun?"
"Can we talk with you for a bit," Asuna said as the boy took a seat next to the professor. "If that is okay with you,"
"Sure, no problem," Jason nodded as he listen intently to what will the girl will say to him. "So what is this you want to ask me about?"
Asuna quickly explained the reason to the librarian, but what shocked the girl and Setsuna that the boy already knew the situation and when she asked how the boy only replied. "Well, Negi explained it to me and Luna earlier,"
"What do you suggest we do, Jason-san?" Asuna asked as she waits for the boy's reply.
"Well, we don't know the enemies faces so I suggest we patrol this place, we don't know when we'll be attacked, so best be prepared." The boy replied as Negi, Asuna and Setsuna look at him curiously, "that's the only thing we can do for now,"
"I agree with, Jason-san," Chamo agreed then an idea struck him. "Say Jason-san, can we get a card from you?"
"What card?" Jason asked then the same idea struck him but he quickly shook his head no. "Sorry Chamo-san, I can't do that,"
"Why?" Chamo asked confused.
"What card are you talking about?" Asuna asked confused at the fairy's question.
"I'm talking about the 'mirror of extended power card' Ane-san," Chamo explained as he looks at the black-haired boy's facial expression. "Ane-san has tons of that right? I was thinking if we could get at least one of that, it can add to our arsenal against the Kansai magical association,"
"That's a great idea, Chamo-kun!" Negi said as the same idea came into his mind.
"Like I said, I can't do that," Jason said as he sighed then looked at the ceiling.
"Why?" Chamo asked the same question.
"You see, Luna won't give something that important unless she gains something in return," Jason explained while looking at the ermine. "Other than that, Luna has the other bag and that's were my other stuffs are, the bag I carried to my room only have clothes and a couple of books, sorry,"
"But why is she willing to bet that card on Yue-san earlier?" Asuna asked confused at the boy's answer. "If that thing is so important why is she betting it in a simple card game?"
"I still don't know that reason as well," Jason replied honestly. As he put his hand on his hair combing it he continued." She can be a little mysterious sometimes, that's one of the many reasons why I love her," standing up and stretching for a bit he said to the four. "Well better start patrolling, bye!"
The remaining four watch as the black-haired librarian leave before they separate going into patrol as Asuna went straight for their room. As the black-haired librarian patrol the corridors he found a person pushing a cart full of clothes into the automatic door but it seems that said doors wont open, as the woman who was pushing it noticed the black-haired boy she waved to him to open the door which the black haired boy quickly opened as he step on the floors activating the door.
"It's seems that the doors are broken, I better tell the maintenance about this," the glasses wearing woman said as she enters the lobby with the cart in tow. "Anyways, thank you young man for the help,"
"No problem, miss," Jason bowed as he watch the woman leave after thanking him once again. Looking at the automatic doors again he said. "that's funny, this thing works properly on this side, wonder what made it malfunction like this?" looking up what he saw shocked him; the sign on the door shows the word 'Emergency exit' in it, seeing what he has done he quickly ran after the woman but when he went to the way he saw the woman went she was already gone.
"Oh no, this means trouble," Jason said before running towards the place where he thought the woman would go. "Prepare yourselves, Negi-sensei, Asuna-kun, Setsuna-kun, the enemy has infiltrated this place."
