Chapter Seventeen

Negi's teaching abilities

At Harry's words, all of the students trembled and gasped, Neville let out a small scream that he managed to turn into a cough. Umbridge on the other hand just stared at him without her usual fake smile and then said: "Ten points from Griffindor." at which the class froze and Negi quirked a brow.

"Now let's get one thing straight. You have been told that a certain Dark Lord has risen from the grave..."

"He wasn't dead, but yes, he's back..." Harry said annoyed.

"...That is a lie. The Ministry assures you there is no danger."

"I saw him, I fought him!" Harry said loudly.

"Detention, mister Potter!" Umbridge said with a smile on her face once again.

"So from point of view Cedric Digeroy dropped dead on his own accord?" Harry asked in a voice trembling of fury.

"That was merely an unfortunate accident" Umbridge said coldly.

"It was murder. Voldemort killed him and you know it." Harry practically yelled.

"That's..." Umbridge began yelling herself but was cut off.

"Enough!" Negi demanded in the coldest and dangerous voice the Grand Inquisitor had ever heard. Furthermore, he had activated his Dark Mode mentally and was now shrouded by darkness.

"Potter, even if I know he's back, that's not a subject to discuss during the Elemental Magic class. I will eventually talk to you about it during Defense Against the Dark Arts. Ten points penalty for yelling. Also" he now turned to Umbridge who was stunned by the sudden change "I must remind you, Miss Umbridge, that while you can inspect me, you have no authority whatsoever on my students, and certainly not during MY class." Negi finished coldly, putting the accent on the fact that this was his teaching time.

"Also, the reason I'm teaching them offensive magic is quite simple: almost all elemental magic is for combat use, and the offensive part is the main component of the basics. Barriers and healing are much more complicated. As a side note, I've already mastered the magic arrows when I was four." Negi explained.

"But, if this is considered basic offensive magic, what does the more advanced magic look like?" Umbridge stared at him in disbelief.

"Give her a demonstration, boya. Show her your "Thousand Bolts" Eva suggested with a grin.

""Thousand Bolts"? What's that?" she asked. "Ew, is it dark magic?" she asked when Negi bit his finger to draw out blood.

"No" Negi answered shortly and began the incantation and lightning started twisting around him.

"To sumbolaion diakoneto moi, basilisk ouranionon. Epigenentheto, apoleia keraune hos timeis pteirei. Hekatonkatis kai khiliakis astrapsato. Khiliarkhou Astrape!"

Finally gathering in his fist before he released it on a distant giant bolder, turning it to melted ash.

"It's the most powerful lighting attack in existence" Negi said.

"So that's his best attack, huh." Umbridge thought.

"But it's far from being boya's best attack. He can use three of those at the same time, and the power is more then ten times of the simple attack."

"This kid's a monster" the Grand Inquisitor thought horrified.

"And that's just his lightning. His light and darkness are on a totally different level." Asuna shocked her even further when she suddenly appeared with these words.

"Bottom line, he could obliterate Hogwarts and its surroundings in one hit." Eva finished.

"Okay, enough talking, back to casting the "Sagitta Magica", class!" Negi clapped his hands and the activity resumed.

"Hm, he has influence over the students. And I have no knowledge of this kind of magic. Damn!" Umbridge thought and, unknown to her, Nodoka smiled and gave Negi the OK sign.

What happened next was the usual. The students took turns and cast their spells. They all resumed to 11 arrows. All but Draco. He decided to show off and cast 29 arrows of darkness. Needless to say, it was a disaster. The arrows had power, but no control whatsoever! They flew towards the students and the Ala Alba and Umbridge. In less then a second, Negi and Asuna had summoned their artefacts and erased 28 arrows, Eva freezing the last one with a flick of her fingers.

"Malfoy, before you cast so many arrows, make sure you can control them. Try 13 now."

He did and failed again, but this time in power, much to his embarrassment.

"Right...I guess it would be useless to ask you to cast 11 now. Your emotions are beyond your control right now. Go do a few laps in the artic area with Asuna." he said to Draco' horror. "Asuna, make sure he cools down" he added to the red-head with a smirk.

"Sure" she responded with a grin and left with the unfortunate Slytherin.

"Back to work!" Negi said to the rest of the class.

"What's the artic area?" Umbridge asked confused.

"One of the four training areas we have here. Kotarou, please give her a tour. We're about to take a break anyway. Lunch is in 45 minutes. I'm sure that's plenty of time." Negi said and Umbridge left with Kotarou, neither of them too pleased by the company.

"Okay, now that that's out of the way, you can practice at will with the remaining targets." Negi told them.

When it was lunch time, Konoka had to cure Draco and Umbridge of their colds.

"I'm going to sue you for this!" the Inquisitor yelled.

"Do as you wish" Eva said bored. "We have diplomatic immunity in both worlds."

"Diplomatic Immunity? Why? And what both Worlds?"

"Well, Asuna and Negi are the descendents of the Founders of Mundus Magicus, the world of magic. Furthermore, Negi's father is Nagi Springfield, The Thousand Master, who saved Mundus Magicus from destruction 20 years ago. Konoka is the daughter of Konoe Eishun, one of Nagi's comrades and the chief of the Kansai Magic Association and Leader of the Shinmeiryu, as well as member of the main branch of the Aoyama clan that founded the Shinmeiryu. I myself am the inheritor of the McDowell clan from Scotland. Ku Fei is the inheritor of the most powerful clan of martial artists in China. And so on. But the main reason would be the fact that the Ala Alba saved the Mundus Magicus from destruction a little over a month ago. Oh, and Mundus Magicus is a world located on the planet Mars, but it was created on another plane of existence by the Founders. Got all that?" Eva finished with an evil grin.

Umbridge was stunned. Not only that someone created an entire world or that it was on Mars. Not that Nagi and then Negi saved it from destruction. It was simply because she couldn't even begin to imagine a way to put some dirt on those people. And the scariest part was the fact that, in the eventuality that she did upset them with something, a world and a half would want her head! These people were beyond scary! Not even Voldemort had a world at his disposal.

"I-I see. I-I think I need some rest." She said feeling a headache.

"Chachamaru will show you to your room" Eva said with a grin and the robot motioned to follow her.

After they left, most of the students and the Ala Alba burst into laughter.

"Way to go, Eva-chan!" Asuna said with tears in her eyes.

"The look on her face was priceless!" Ron said with hiccups.

"And I have it all on tape!" Asakura said with a wide grin.

"Great! Make sure to give Dumbledore a copy. He's gonna love this." Harry said.

"Who wouldn't after Fudge forced his hand like that?" Hermione asked with a smile.

"And the best part is that Fudge won't find about it even if she tells him personally!" Haruna laughed her lungs out.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked curious.

"The moment someone steps inside the Resort, a confidentiality seal is placed on them. Without our approval, noone without a seal may receive any information on us." Yue explained.

"Is that even legal?" Malfoy said furious.

"The moment you became our students it became legal to use on you. We can't have any info on us get to Death Eaters, now can we?" Eva said with an evil grin.

"But why did you use it on yourselves in the first place?" Hermione asked.

"Well, getting kidnapped and impersonated for over a week has that kind of effect on people." Asuna answered with a bitter smile.

"Ok, enough fun for now, let's eat." Negi ended the discussion since it was going towards some things better left secret.

After lunch, they started their Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"In the last few weeks, we have solely focused on theory and on increasing casting efficiency for the "Expeliarmus" spell. Today, we'll move on to other useful spells such as "Petrificus Totalus", "Stupefy", "Protego" and "Incendio". I'm sure you've at least heard of them, if not already know how to use them." Negi said.

"Harry can already use all of them" Ron said from his friend's side.

"Perfect, you can help with the demonstration. Yue, please assist him."

"What do we need to do, sensei?" Yue asked.

"A small duel. Use the first three spells. "Incendio" does a little too much damage. And another thin, Setsuna…" he said while turning to the girl "…Put a barrier around them. It would be preferred not to get hit by any stray spells."

"Understood, sensei." the half-demon said as she pulled out her paper charms and erected the barrier around the two.

"You may begin!" Negi said and they started dueling, throwing spells at the adversary, blocking of dodging the ones that came at them. It seemed that they could have continued for quite a while, but Negi stopped them, saying it was enough for the demonstration.

"Now, take out your books and study the theory. If you finish quickly, you can begin practicing. Leave the "Incendio" last and definitely don't use it on one another. If you want to practice it, ask Evangeline to make you some ice targets."

Only the thought of asking the vampire for a favor was enough to put the "Incendio" last!

A.N.: I intend to start some couple action in the next few chapters. Please review and give me some pairing suggestions. By the way, Negi and Asuna are related further then third grade cousins in this fic so it's a go for them.
