Not Just Normal Mage Can Be A Magister Magi
A/N: whew…finally the second chapter of this story finished! I'm really glad when I read the first chapter, this story already followed by four authors and add this story as their favorited by three authors. Thank you so much! *bow* So, here's the new chapter!
On side note, I will make the Pactio System with three card: Rare, Cosplay, and Common card, so every Negi's student that exchange provisional contract with him (or Remy) will receive three card instead of one (check the Negima?! Anime) .
-Chapter Two: Roommate?-
2 hours later after school, Remy and Negi walked toward somewhere near the center of Mahora Academy, slumping near the fountain. They really was seem tired.
"It really was a bad idea to teach girls older than you," Remy said, massaging his nose bridge. On his left side, Negi open the class rooster and write something on it. This caught Remy attention.
"What are you doing, Negi?"
Negi turned his attention toward Remy and smiled.
"No, nothing,"
"Really? Well, I thought you write 'Meanie' on Kagurazaka Asuna's picture,"
Negi seem shocked.
"How do you know that?!"
"I can hear the frequency of your writing and based on your writing frequent earlier, you must be writing something like that,"
Negi finally sighed.
"You caught me," Negi said laughing nervously while Remy snickered at Negi's comment.
"You must be carefull if you don't wanna Asuna caught you instead. Oh, by the way, are you a mage?"
Once again, Negi shocked. He was taken aback by Remy's sudden question. From his expression, Negi certainly did not expect that question. Negi began stuttered.
"Wh-what are you talking about, Remy?" Negi asked, holding his staff tight. Notice this, Remy sighed. He opened his bag and search for something, then he showed Negi two gloves with different rune symbol on each gloves. Water rune on left glove and Wind rune on right glove.
Remy wear the gloves and began chanelling his magic energy on it. The gloves shine with green and blue light. Remy combine the gloves and then between Remy's palm, an ice shard began matearilzed. Negi really stunned when he saw Remy's abilitty.
"I'm also a mage so you don't have to be afraid if i discovered it," Remy said smiling while put away his gloves. Negi sighed.
"I'm glad if you're a mage too. Hey, if you don't mind, can you tell me how come you can…um…'see' everything with your…condition?" Negi asked, carefully pick right words. Remy smiled.
"Well, I have sixth sense that allow me to 'see' every person or object aura, I even know you're a mage because I can see your magic aura beforehand,"
"I see. Well, I must say thank you then, for catching the eraser earlier, that's it," Negi shaking his head, understand what Remy said. It was an interesting thing for Negi. Because, back to the class, this Asuna Kagurazaka throwing her little piece of eraser at Negi's head. But, Remy realized it beforehand and catch it even before the eraser hit Negi's head.
Remy smiled.
"No problem,"
He then he realized something.
"Oh, someone coming," Remy said while pointing somewhere with his right thumb without turned his head toward the campus stair near the fountain. Negi looked at the direction where Remy pointed his finger and realized who is it.
"Oh! It's Miyazaki Nodoka! What is she doing with all of that books?" Negi said when he saw Nodoka carrying so many books. Remy frowned.
"She carying a lot of books, didn't she?"
"Yeah, I hope she doesn't – oh no! Nodoka-san!"
Negi shouted suddenly. At first, Remy didn't know why Negi shouting like that and then he realized Nodoka Miyazaki fell from the stairs. So, either Negi and Remy running towards the librarian.
Negi grabbed his staff and pointed that to Nodoka while Remy using his right glove.
"Rastel Mascir Magister/Undina Cyro Tempestas! O Holy Spirit Of Wind, Lend Me Your Power! Stop Everything That Bound To Fall, Even Time. Blow Away Every Missfortune and Protect Us With Your Raging Gale! Tel Ma Amorista/Sylph Tempstair!"
Negi's staff glowing with green magic light, same thing happen with rune symbol on Remy's right glove, indicating that they invoking wind-based spell. When they finished chanting that Wind-based spell, Nodoka suddenly float a few second on the air. Then Negi quickly running toward floating Nodoka and catch her before the spell gone.
"Negi-sensei…?" Nodoka said, then lost her concious because the excitement she experienced when fall from the stairs earlier.
"Whew, thank god, she just unconcious," Negi said while inspecting his student and relieved when he found no injuries on his student's body. Suddenly, Remy's face began pale, even paler than his eyes.
"Negi, i…think I didn't realize them," Remy said slowly, making Negi stare at him with what-are-you-talking-about stare. Remy pointed his finger towards Negi back. Negi turned his attention toward somewhere Remy's finger pointed at and he really was shocked.
"…Uh…Are you really didn't realize them?" Negi said pointing Asuna Kagurazaka and Haruna Saotome stared at them with wide eyes.
~Few Minutes Before~
"So, Asuna, why you keep throwing that eraser to Negi-sensei?" a girl with spiky red hair and carying a camera – the 2-A human database, Asakura Kazumi – asked while walking beside Asuna. Asuna frowning.
"You don't realize the black board eraser the Narutaki Twins use for their prank, floating above his head a few seconds before dropped on his head?"
A girl with heterochorm-eyes and orange hair tied up into twin tails with looks like bells – Asuna Kagurazaka – said, throwing her hand everywhere to emphasizing her statement. Asakura taking her thinking pose and came out without answer.
"Or when that blind brat catch my eraser that I aimed at the other brat? Don't you think they was suspicious?"
Once again, Asakura didn't responding Asuna's question. Asuna sighed heavily.
"Forget it, maybe I'm just halucinating because Takahata-sensei being replaced by that stupid brats,"
They began walking toward the fountain when they heard someone shouting.
"Rastel Mascir Magister/Undina Cyro Tempestas! O Holy Spirit Of Wind, Lend Me Your Power! Stop Everything That Bound To Fall, Even Time. Blow Away Every Missfortune and Protect Us With Your Raging Gale! Tel Ma Amorista/Sylph Tempstair!"
They running towards the source of the voice and found something really out of logic or science. Nodoka Miyazaki was Floating! In the air! Without any support such as string! They stare at their new teacher and teacher asisstant then realized there's something…unordinary about their teacher and his asisstant.
They realized Negi grabbing a really long staff and pointed at Nodoka and Remy's right glove glowing with green light. They saw Negi running toward Nodoka before the librarian girl making contact with the ground.
"Whew, thank god, she just unconcious," they heard Negi said with relieved tone. They also realized their teacher asisstant – Remy Wintering, if their memories serves them right – seems pale every second passes.
"Negi, i…didn't realize something," they heard Remy said, confuse expression on Negi's face. Then Remy pointed his finger toward them – Asuna and Haruna. Negi turned his head toward them and his confuse expression change into shocked one.
"…Uh…Are you really didn't realize them?"
Asuna Kagurazaka quickly running toward the ten-years old prodigy and accusing her finger toward the boys, while Asakura just simply stood there, with newfound interest toward her teacher and his asisstant. One thing on her mind at this time: 'BIG SCOOP!'.
"Aha! I knew it! There is no way two ten years old brat can be a teacher and his asisstant if they're an ordinary brat!"
Negi cringed, while Remy simply sweatdrop by Asuna's antic.
"What are you two doing to Honya-chan?! How can you make her floating like that?!" Asakura said, being so-called Human database of 2-A she is, grabbed a notes in hand and ready to write anything her teacher said.
Before the two of them – Asuna and Asakura – asking further question, they being pulled toward a forest near the fountain by the child prodigy. On the forest, they can heard Nodoka Miyazaki's friend – Haruna Saotome and Yue Ayase – called her and finally found her near the fountain unconcious.
When the librarians finally out of sight, Asuna began shouting at the boys.
"Now tell me! Who are you!?" Asuna said – again – pointing the boys.
"Don't tell me! You're…" Asakura said even before Negi and Remy make their comment.
"…an alien!"
Negi and Remy sweatdrop. This reporter really like to run into conculsion, isn't she?
"No, we just ordinary child that just happen to have bachelor degree from our school," Remy quickly answered with deadpanned voice, trying so hard hiding his desperate voice while lying at them.
"Y-yeah! That's right!" Negi agreed with him, shaking his head nervously.
"How about the thing you two do earlier, making Nodoka floating on the air? Is it possible for 'Ordinary' child with bachelor degree from their school do that thing?"
"That was…err…CG! Yes! It was CG!" Negi answered quickly without thinking, making Remy facepalmed himself.
"…is there anyone ever tell you that your lying abbility are really sucked? I even not buy it!"
"Beside, it makes the two of you more suspicious, you know?"
Negi and Remy stare at each other before finally nodded their head together.
"Alright, you won. We're not just an ordinary child, we are actually a mage," Remy said.
Their student just stood there with blank stare and mouth wide open, maybe thinking they are a mage just like in those anime with frilly clothes and high-pitched voice when they changed their outfits.
"Well, because you two already discovered our secret," Remy began wearing his gloves while Negi grabbing his staff tighter.
"We must erase your memories,"
This, however, made either Asuna and Asakura began panicked, especially Asakura, who for the first time found a really big scoop that can make her famous everywhere.
"Wait! Did you ever do that before?"
Negi and Remy thinking for a few minutes before came out with same answer.
"Nope, this is my first time to erase a person memories. Don't worry, even if the spell gone wrong, you two just received minor effect,"
"And that's minor effect is…?"
Once again, Negi and Remy answered them with completely innocent tone.
"Nothing big, either of you just will forget everything about yourself – in other word, Amnesia – and it takes few weeks to recover all of your losing memories, or months…or years, maybe?"
Asuna and Asakura scared after hearing the 'minor' effect. Who knows what 'major' effect will do if the 'minor' ones can make them forgeting every single of their memories? Asuna shook her head.
"HOLD ON! YOU WILL NEVER USE THAT MAGIC THING ON US!"
"But we must do it if we didn't want to transform into animal,"
This caught Asakura attention.
"Transform into animal, literally?"
"Yes, literally. If a mage discovered their real identity by ordinary human, their magic will taken away from them and they will turned into an animal as punishment," Negi explained to them.
"And so, we must erase your memories right now," Remy gloves shine with ghostly white aura, making the girl take a few step back away from the child prodigy AND mage.
"HOLD ON! ALRIGHT! WE UNDERSTAND! WE WILL KEEP YOUR SECRET – "
"EH! FOR REAL?! BUT THIS IS REALLY A BIG SCOOP! THE WHOLE WORLD MUST KNOW THIS!" Asakura butted in but ignored by Asuna.
" – SO DON'T ERASE OUR MEMORIES!"
Negi put his staff down while Remy's glowing gloves stoped emmiting ghostly aura from it. their eyes beginning gain some hope – Well, Remy's eyes SEEM like beginning gain some hope.
"Really? You will do that for us?"
"There is no other way for us if we didn't want to suffer amnesia because of your unexperienced magical thing," Asuna deadpanned, while Asakura just mumbling how cruel the world when she found a really good story but she can't tell the world about that.
Negi and Remy smiled widely, while putting away their magic item.
"That's good to hear," Remy said, then noticing something on Asuna's hand.
"What is that, Asuna-san?" he asked, while pointing white plastic bag in Asuna's grasp. Asuna then realize she forgot something.
"I forgot! Let's go, come with us!"
Asuna grabbed her teacher's hand firmly, while Asakura just simply asked Remy to followed them.
~The 2-A Class~
They really never thought this will happen to them. They really didn't expect this will come to them, even on the first day of their job as teacher on 2-A class. First, two of their students found out they're a mage. And now…
"Welcome to Mahora Highschool, Negi-sensei and Remy-sensei!"
…their class hold a welcoming party for them. That's really out of their mind on that time, especially with so many girls to handle throughout the study session. Negi and Remy just stood there with stunned face.
"W-what?"
"They want to hold a welcoming party for you and I've got shooping duty for buy some foods and drinks," Asuna said, holding up the plastic bag with some soft drink and snack on it.
"B-but why?"
"It was because we wanted to show our hospitality toward our new teachers and showed how gratefull we are to have teacher just like you two," a girl with long blonde hair – the 2-A class representative, Ayaka Yukihiro – said while smiling at them with…let's just say…creepy smile, for those who knows what the meaning behind that smile.
Negi and Remy was shocked. Everybody was here…just to make a welcoming party for them? Even the former english teacher of 2-A – Takahata Takamichi – was there, with the Dean and school counselor Shizuna-sensei.
Negi and Remy then smiled a sincere smile, and then said aloud:
"Thank You very much, everyone!"
And then, the party began. When they enjoyed their snack, every single of their student shwoing their ability. For example, Chao Lingshen and Ku Fei performed their skill on china kempo or Sasaki Makie showing of her gymnastic skill. Negi even got a few library voucher from Nodoka herself.
When they finished their performance, Remy whispered something at Negi. Negi seem unsure for whatever Remy said, but in the end, Negi finally agreed. Remy turned his head toward his student.
"Well then, because all of you give us a good performance, now its our turn to show all of you our skill," Remy smiled then reaching for his violin that strapped on his backpack.
"Now, Negi," Remy said, playing his violin with soft tune while closing his eyes. Remy played the intro first. Their student gasped when they hear the soft voice from Remy. When the intro finished, Negi began singing.
(Music: Coldplay-Paradise. Italic Word: The Lyric)
"When she was just a girl, She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach, so she ran away in her sleep…
And dream of,
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise,
Everytime she closed her eyes…
(Remy playing his violin again)
When she was just a girl, She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth,
Life goes on, it gets so heavy,
The wheel breaks the butterfly, every tear a waterfall,
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes,
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly…
(Remy and Negi stoped as if the song was ended, but soon they starting again their performance)
And dreams of…
Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of,
Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
(Negi stopped singing for a while when Remy's played 'Paradise' melody with his Violin)
And so lying underneath those stormy skies,
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be…
Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be,
Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
(Negi stopped singing when Remy still playing his violin, then Negi started singing again)
This could be,
Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise! Para-para-paradise!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
(Song-End)
Remy opened his eyes when he finished his performance with Negi. Not long after that, the voice of clapping hands can be heard all around Remy.
"That was awesome, Remy-sensei!"
"I hope you want to join our Choir club, Negi-sensei!"
"Wow, that was really cool!...maybe I must put this on tomorrow school's newspaper,"
"Ah~! Not just cute and smart, but his singing skill are perfect! You're always be number one in my heart, Negi-sensei~!"
"Can you teach me how to play it sometime, Remy-kun?"
Remy and Negi smiled at each other, really proud of their succesfull performance. They realize the Dean Konoe and Takamichi approaching them with smile.
"Well, how's that? Even if I'm blind, I'm still can perform without a single mistake," Remy said proudly, making the Dean laugh.
"Hohoho, I realize I have understimate you before, I'm sorry. Well then, now I can trully trust the both of you to teaching this class," the Dean said and smiling at them, but Remy can't really tell if the Dean are really smiling at them or not because of his beard.
"Ok, now I want to say something to both of you," The Dean said suddenly, making Negi and Remy attention pulled toward him.
"You see, I've been checking the dorm for teacher before and realize that there is no room for the both of you. So now I just trusting you to lived here,"
The Dean give Negi and Remy a paper. Before the new child teacher asking further question, the Dean already gone with Takamichi and Shizuna. Negi sighed and read something on that paper, while Remy quietly started an incantation.
When the both of them finished reading the content of the paper, their face turned pale.
'No Way…'
-Mahora Girls Dorm-
"You what?!"
"B-but, that's the Dean order,"
"Come on Asuna, don't be so rude to our new teacher~"
"Yeah, I wouldn't rude to him if he was not stay here!"
Asuna pointing Negi who already inside of hers and Konoka room. Negi just sat there and laughing nervously when Asuna accusing her finger toward him.
"Don't mind her, Negi-kun. You can stay here as long as you want~!" Konoka beamed, making Asuna shocked.
"What?! You will let HIM stayed here?"
Konoka shrugged.
"There's no other place for him in this academy to stay, you know?"
Asuna want to said something, but then sighed loudly.
"Alright, you can stay here because Konoka say so…sheesh, what a troublesome brat,"
Negi was really happy after hearing that from Asuna.
"Thank You! Thank You very much, Asuna-san!"
"Yeah, whatever. By the way, where's that Remy brat going?"
"Oh, he will lived with Asakura Kazumi,"
Asuna stared at Negi with wide eyed and then began praying.
"God, I hope he was still having his secret covered until tomorrow,"
Negi laughed nervously while sweatdroping after hearing Asuna's pray, while Konoka just sat there with confused face.
-Meanwhile, At Asakura's room-
"So, how long exactlly do you practiced this magic? What kind of magic you always using? Is there any other mage than you and Negi here? Are dragon exist? Is there such thing like another world with magic? Did you played your violin with your magic? Did you 'see' everything in your own way with magic? Please tell me everything you know!"
Kazumi said, pointing her voice recorder toward Remy who was simply sat there with blank face, certainly won't say anything.
'God, I hope my secret – especially, my magic secret – wouldn't be found out sooner or later, and I hope the Dean would like to change my roommate,' Remy thought, while still bombarded with many question from Kazumi.
