It would have probably been smart to mention in the first chapter that this is my first fic and that I would also appreciate reviews. But on the other hand that first chapter didn't really have anything worth reviewing. Any who this next chapter will have things worth reviewing.

And now the disclaimer: I do not own Negima Ken Akamatsu owns it. The only thing I own is Regulus.

Without further ado…I give you

A Retelling of Negima

Episode 2

Enter the Regulus

The Baka Rangers and the secret Library Island

The big game plan for the final test PT.1-2

A few minutes earlier Negi was walking down the halls talking with his students Yuna and Sakurako. He was peering into the other class rooms noticing that the students were hard at work. "Boy every one else is studying like crazy." He commented.

"No surprise there. The high school exams are coming up soon." Said Yuna. "Soon?" spoke up Sakurako "They're practically next week." Negi began thinking to himself 'Highschool exams huh I'd be worried if I were a student…or even worse if I were a teach…' It then occurred to him "Wait I am a teacher why aren't you two bucking down?" he shouted.

To this Yuna replied "Because studyng to get into a good school isn't really our concern. We're in class 2-a." "Right." Sakurako chimed in "And since 2-a's is always the last place class the whole thing is pretty much moot for us anyway. Negi was in disbelief all he could think 'it's not moot for me.' He then noticed a trophy which looked like a golden bouquet "What's that trophy over there?" he asked. "Oh that's for the class that gets the top grade" Yuna stated.

Negi began to ponder again…'so 2-a is last place huh man it would be nice to win that trophy but they seem so disinterested. I wonder what I could do to motivate them…maybe promise them something or some sort of magic…but then again that would be cheating. On the other hand cheating beats losing…

He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice Shizuna approaching him. "Negi-Sensei" Negi was startled "Huh!-Oh Shizuna –sensei." She handed him the envelope that the head master had written out. "Head master wanted me to give you this." Negi saw how grim she looked "You look kind of grim now I'm worried as he took the envelope.

"WHAT'S THIS MEAN?" "A FINAL CHALLENGE!" Negi shouted while at the same time thinking of various types of challenges. Like slaying a dragon or acquiring 200 offensive magiks 'Nobody said anything about final challenges.' 'But none of this will matter if I don't pass this…this…whatever it is.' He then came to his senses. 'Okay Negi don't panic read first then panic' He then opened the letter and it said

Dear Negi-kun

If 2-a does not finish in last place you will be made an official teacher

Head master mahora academy.

"What!" Negi said exasperated haul them out of last place by Monday its…its… "Its what?" asked shizuna sounding worried. Negi then turned around sweat dropping. "It's easier that I could've hoped actually." He said sounding very relieved. 'Beats fighting dragons' he thought. "What's this whats going on Negi-sensei?" Yuna and Sakurako shouted. Sakurako saw the note "oh cool Negi-kun your going to be an official teacher. "Back off this is teacher stuff!" Negi said while trying to fend off the 2 girls.

Mean while: Regulus was making his way…or thought he was making his way to class 2-a when in reality he was lost…Again. "Damn I am so hopelessly lost!" he said to himself. "Geez you would think that visiting here a year ago I wouldn't be lost…But that's obviously not the case." He then spotted a familiar face. The slightly tan Chinese girl that punched him out of the train, currently known as Yellow. She was standing next to a very tall girl Who Regulus could have sworn she should be in the WNBA, aside from the hieght her other features were a very long ponytail and Fox like eyes

Regulus and Yellow made eye contact followed very shortly by a "GAH! ITS YOU!" (or "it you" in yellows case) "What seems to be the problem Fei-sama? You know this boy?" Asked the tall one. "Yes" replied Yellow "That him That stalker I tell you about!"

Regulus face vaulted at being called a stalker again. He got up and said angrily. "Woah Woah Woah! Im no stalker!" The WNBA Fox turned to him. "Maybe your not but it's still suspicious that a boy is walking around not in a uniform in an all girls school building. " Regulus countered "Heh shorty said the same thing before she siked Yellow on me while I was on the train." "But I can assure you I am on offical business I have documentation." he pulled out a peice of paper that had writing on it with the Mahora seal. Fox and Yellow read over the paper. "Hm well its official" said Fox "Sorry for suspecting you Regulus-sama."

Regulus replied "Oh no don't be, I don't blame you I'm not to fond of wearing uniforms." He then added " By the way could you point me in the direction of 2-a" Fox replied "Sure we need to be there for next period so come with us." "Thank you um um..." Regulus said he was going to ask fox her name but she beat him to it."Kaede Nagase now come on." as they were walking Yellow spoke up. "I sorry for punching you." "No Prob." Regulus Replied. "My name Ku-Fei and any freind of Negi-bozu is friend of me." "well we're here" Kaede said "You going to stop in?" asked Ku. "Nah I'll just wait out here and wait for the class to let out." Regulus said "Probably safer too." he added. "I would have to agree with you there." replied Kaede.

When Kaede and Ku-fei returned to the class room. The boy teacher sat every one down. "ok ladies listen up tomorrows home room is gonna be one big study session" "The finals are just around the corner." "And Uh in fact if this class can't avoid getting last place we'll bein a tough spot." "So everyone lets do our best and study hard." stated Negi.

Ayaka stated "Negi-sensei that sounds like a great idea" while on the other hand both Asuna and Regulus (who was listening in outside) were thinking 'Where did that come from?'

"Negi sensei I know a great study game thats all about "going for it." "And that would be Sakurako-san?" asked Negi "Its called Baseball Janken. "see your asked a question and if- before Sakurako could finish her explaination the class started going up in an uproar but Negi stopped them. "ladies any game that gets you in the mood for studing is fine by me feel free to go for it."

"Okay then lets go." said Ayaka "What!?" Asuna said. "What!?" Regulus said both not liking where this was going. "Negi there is something you should know about baseball Janken" Asuna spoke up while being dragged by Sakurako,but Negi failed to notice. "Aw man this is not going to end well" said Asuna to no one in particular.

"Heres the 2-a grade sheet I'll make it into a chart for quick reference." said Negi not even paying attention to Asuna. He looked over the newly transformed chart. 'lets see we've got three in the top of thier grade...oh my the rest are in pretty serious trouble especially th five on the right side'. Negi thought, and while he was thinking a bra landed on his head. not recognizing what it was at firs he looked up and was shocked at what he saw...

Now before we move forward lets back up just a few seconds to see what was going down with Regulus. after hearing the words baseball janken Regulus stared worring. "Uh oh that does NOT sound good." as he rushed to the door. he was less than 2 centemeters from opening it when he thought other wise. 'Woah Regulus barging in might not be such a good idea' He continued thinking. 'I don't want to repeat what happend on the train...although technicly that was'nt my fault' 'still I'll just knock first to be on the safe side.' He Knocked on the door and got no response. "maybe just a peek jus to see if everythings ok." Regulus slid open the door just a crack. It was a bad idea.

What Negi saw was the five worst students on the grade chart in various stages of undress. And it just so happend that they were closest to the door, and it just so happend that Regulus decided to peek in to the class room to check on Negi. Shouted to Sakurako in disbelief "What the heck is going on here!" to which she replied " Baseball Janken it like strip poker lose an article of clothing for every question you miss!" "Sensei you whant to play too?" she asked "Oh like that'll ever happen!" Negi replied turning away beat red.

Unfortunatly things were not so good for Regulus. Why you ask well If you were 16 years old and saw five girls in nothing but panties how would you react? Foutunatly nobody noticed him as his mind overloaded and he passed out nosebleeding very profusly.

Back in the class room things were starting to look bleak when Negi was saved by the bell. The class than began redressing and then ran out of the classroom. Unfortunatly for Regulus since nobody saw him he was trampled again for the second time that day. Negi walked out of the classroom 'What am I gonna do' he thought 'we only have a few days to' Then an Idea hit him "Of course the grey cell spell It'll turn them into geniouses for 72 hours" he said as he began preping the spell. "Of course the downside is they'll become dumb as rocks for a moth after thats why this spell is forbidden but if its the only way" Just then Asuna ran up to him and decked him in the back of the head. "Knock it off with the weird lingo your creeping me out!" she shouted. "Asuna-san" Negi said turning to her while rubbing his now sore head. She continued Whenever things get screwed up you use magic to try to unscrew it you gotta stop!. "You said right from the start your magic had to be kept secret right" "And yet here you go again risking others finding out and you being washed up." "Ive got nothing to lose If we finish dead last I'm washed up anyway." Negi replied. Asuna continued "Like you said weeks ago bravery is real magic" Negi was speechless "Did you ever think that because you have no confidence in us to succed that attitude shows through and we lose confidence as well." She finished.

All Negi could manage was to say was "D-oh" as what Asuna just said hit him like a ton of bricks. "Hey whose that" Asuna said. "OOOOhh Damn it I can't believe this I've been trampled twice in one day and I still haven't even seen Negi." Regulus said sitting up. He then stood up and turned around to see Asuna and Negi. Before he could say anything though Asuna beat him to it "Hey your that perverted stalker I've been hearing about!" Regulus face vaulted "Not you too!" Regulus said as he was wondering how fast news travels around this school. Thankfully his luck changed when Negi took notice "Regulus is that you." Negi asked "Negi it's been so long." Regulus said "You know this stalker?" Asuna asked. To this Regulus slammed his head onto the railings. "NO I am no stalker I am a friend of your new boy teacher" "You are huh." Asuna said having a hard time beliving him. "Yes I am well more like a gaurdian actually." Negi then added "Its true Asuna I'm not sure why he's here but there is no reson not to trust him." Asuna sighed "Well what ever I'm going back to the dorm it looks like you two have a lot of catching up to do." and with those words she left.

A little while later Negi and Regulus were walking and Negi had told Regulus every thing that had happend since he first arrived. "I see dogeball,Baka rangers and a love potion gone ary heh what the hell would you do with out me."Regulus said bluntly. "Geez its not like those things happend on purpose, Your making me look bad Regulus." Negi said. "Yeah your right I just like to mess with you heh heh." Negi sweat dropped "So why are you here Regulus?" Regulus stopped "well the truth is..."

"What" asked the boy teacher worried. Regulus took a deep breath "Word is somebody has found out about your magic and the sent me to keep an eye on you." Negi went into total freak out mode. "W-w-w-what how did you oh man oh man this is bad I'M gonna be an ermine for sure!" "CALM DOWN!" Regulus said grabbing Negi by his collar. "Look if it was very serious they wouldn't have sent me." Negi stopped flailing "Oh I suppose your right." Regulus sweatdropped "Honestly Negi you can be such a moron." He said as he set Negi down he continued."I'm guessing that bells chick ,Asuna was it? is the one that found out." "How did you know?" Negi asked very curiously. "Well seeing as how she was talking about magic so openly in front of you. I guessed that either she was a mage or was the one who found out, I'm guessing it was the latter."

Negi wondered how Regulus could have heard all of that wihle unconcios and Regulus told him it was because the Trampling snapped him back out of it. "Well anyway that Asuna is right you can't relly on magic to solve this challenge." Negi sighed. "Asunas right she hit the nail right on the head." "It seems a student has tought the boy teacher." Regulus added. Negi said "but your both right I can't use magic to solve this problem." An idea struck Negi "I'll just remove the temtation completely." He said. "How are you gonna do that?" Regulus asked. "I'll use the black pledge spell to seal my magic for three days." Negi answered. "Good Idea just remember after using it you will be an ordinary 10 year old for those three days." said Regulus. "don't worry I'll be fine" Negi said as he dashed off." "If anything magic related happens during those days let me know!" Regulus called back.

"Boy whot day for me I think I'll just head to my cabin and cash for the night." Regulus said while picking up his bag. As he was walking through the forest. he spied someone in a nearby clearing. It was a girl about his age a little on the short side her 2 most noted features was that she had black hair done into a ponytail on her left side, and second she was practicing with an all to familliar blade and combat stance. Regulus Knew her to be none other than his nuber one rival Setsuna Sakurazaki. He then decided to approach her.

"Well well Zaki-san it looks like we do meet again heh it seems I've defied fate itself." She turned around with a look of shock on her face but quickly composed herself before speaking. "Gainsbrough-san What are you doing here?" "Lucky for you I am here on business." Regulus said nonchalontly. Setsuna then asked "What business would that be?." Regulus was again being nonchalont about it "Oh nuthin big. Just keeping an eye on that new ten year old sensei of yours." Not pressing futher into the matter Setsuna asked. "So did you just decide to hunt me down for a fight." There was a glint in Regulus's eye. "Oh no my cabin just happens to be in this direction...But since you brought it up Zaki-san how about it." he said as he pulled a broad sword out of his bag. "Estrelege has been dying for some combat." Setsuna mentaly slapped herself for walking right into that. "Since I know you're not going go away until your satisfied bring it on." she said raising Yungui

They both charged forward in the blink of an eye and locked blades. "You still think you can master the art of shinmeiryyu with a broad sword?" Regulus lunged forward and broke the blade lock but Setsuna quickly side steped to aviod the on coming blade. "Well Master said it was impssible but you forget Zaki-san..." he said as he spun around to block her sword strike from behind. "I DEFY THE IMPOSSIBLE!" he shouted as he lept up to come down on her. With warriors reflex she parried the blow " Gainsbrough-san You've improved much in only two years." "Yeah well whatdya expect masters training IS from hell." Regulus swung hard only to be met with an equally hard swing from Setsuna. "Nice move Zaki-san but why don't we take this up a noch." Regulus suggested "I agree" Setsuna replied. determination in her eyes. They broke apart and then charged again both combatent were giving and parrying blows faster thatn the mundae human eye could keep track of. The sound of metal on metal sang out through the trees it was like a haunting melody to thier ears. Regulus then charged forward with a thrust which was parryed effortlessly by Setsuna "Is that all?" she asked. "Nope check this out" he said as he lept up blade still in thrust position breaking her guard. Setsuna stubled back a few steps "Impressive but your no Cloud Strife!" "Well you ain't no Sephiroth either... at least not lookin like that" The remark struck a nerve in Setsuna as she ran up to Regulus and came down on him so they wound up in another blade lock. "How dare you bring that up you better not have told anyone!" She said gritting her teeth in rage. Regulus smirked "Chill Zaki-san I would never spill your secret." Setsuna relaxed a little "Why do you still isist on calling me Zaki-san though?" Regulus answered "Well let me see Setsuna-san is just to informal for one of your skill and, Sakurazaki-san is just a mouthful, soo I went for the best of both worlds which is Zaki-san.

They broke apart both feeling worn down "well I guess it's down to this last move eh Zaki-san." "Yes it would seem Gainsbrough-san They both charged forward blades in thrust position at the last moment Regulus grabbed Stsuna by the arm and threw her down. Before she could get up he brought don his blade so it was bearly touching her neck. Regulus then smiled all Chibi like "I win." He helped Setsuna to her feet "In all seriousness Zaki-san running into you was purley coinsidense, but I am satisfied with our match so I will leave you alone for the rest of the time I am here." "Very well it looks like we are even once again." Setsuna said. "I am going to head back to the dorms to rest." Regulus then looked up at the now night sky. "Whew damn your right I'm gonna head to my cabin to crash." He then added "If the rest of the month is gonna be anything like today I'll need all the sleep I can get." It was Setsuna's turn to smirk. "hmph well little biys need there rest to goodnight Gainsbrogh-san." A vein poped on Regulus's forehead. "Hey were the same age!" he calmed down. "Well anyway goodnight Zaki-san." and with that the warriors both parted ways.

Regulus arived at his cabin a few moments later. Once he had unpacked everything he crashed on his matteress with an exausted sigh "Finally time to get some sleep." How ever not even a few minutes after midnight his cell rang with the 25m donkey kong theme. "Oh gosh now what." he said grabbing his phone. On the caller ID was Negi.
