Chapter 5, ready to roll, and by roll, I mean read. pretty obvious. It's been a few days since the beginning of the end of the world, still haven't seen any destruction, the only problems I've encountered are writing this story and my bowel problems. I'm gonna watch the movie 2012 at the beginning of 2013 and laugh at it, if I don't die of my bowel problems first. This entire chapter is gonna be Takahata's flashbacks on his journey, next chapter will be the journeys of Negi.

Takahata walked onto platform as they called his name. "Takahata, I hope you do well in the real world," an old professor whispered to him as he shook his hands.

"Yeah, thank you for everything," he said back. He walked back to his seat and watched Negi walk onto the platform as well, he nearly laughed at the sight, as did most of the other students in the crowd. Negi received his college diploma and walked back to his seat. As soon as everybody else received their diplomas, Negi got up to the platform to recite his graduation farewell address.

After the Graduation Ceremony

"Man, I thought I would die of embarrassment there," Negi sighed, relieved. "Yeah, knowing you, I thought you would faint after the first five seconds," a tall man said.

"Oh, shut it, Adam," Negi replied, his face sinking into the table.

"Hey, who taught you how to speak like that? Let's wash that dirty mouth of yours," he said, giving him a noogie.

"I'm pretty sure it was you, Adam. Right Rudolph?" Takahata laughed.

"Urgh... Cameron dared me to," he said defensively.

"What!? I did no such thing, I just said that you couldn't, even if you tried. Thanks to you, I lost 30 euros," Cameron replied.

"Yep, thanks Adam," Rudolph grinned.

"Tch... I call 50% of your profit." Adam declared, downing the rest of his beer.

"You really shouldn't drink in front of minors," Takahata said, smoking his cigarette.

"You shouldn't be smoking in front of minors either, Takamichi," Adam replied.

"You're both bad examples, so you shouldn't be talking," Rudolph and Cameron said in unison.

"Shut it, neither are you guys, betting about this stuff," Adam shouted at them. They all began laughing and Takahata said, "Okay, we're all bad examples here. So let's stop talking about this."

A few weeks later

Takahata walked to the outskirts of the village and entered the circle of rocks. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw a huge group of people around, there were even people who set up stalls inside there, trying to make money. He yawned and sat on a bench next to a small gift stall. He looked at his watch, "5 minutes left, guess there's still time left to look around." He got up and taking out a cigarette, looked at the gift stall. He saw a small spring onion keychain and was reminded of Negi. He got a few coins out and payed for it. His watch's alarm set off and he looked at it. It showed that there were only 10 seconds left. He headed for the center of the circle and soon enough, the entire place flashed with a blinding light. I should really get some sunglasses, he thought.

As soon as the light died down, he saw that the scenery had changed. Instead of being in a grassy field, he was in a floating metropolis. He headed over to a random gift shop and bought a map. He took a look at the map and saw that it did show his location, but it was out-dated and not very clear. He sighed, folded the map and put it in his pocket. He decided to wander around the area, looking at several other shops. Eventually, a young lady asked him, "Hey, by any chance, are you Takahata Takamichi? Once part of the now broken-up Ala Rubra."

"Um... Yes, why?" he replied.

"Well, I was a really big fan of you, and I was wondering if I could have your autograph. Please?" she begged.

"Of course, but why mine? I didn't do much I was more like the pack-mule," he laughed, but signed the sheet of paper anyways, "Anyways, do you know any villages or towns around here under stress? I'm supposed to help them out, that was my last mission given to me by Nagi."

"Of course I do, I think that there's a town called Medera around here, they're under the attack of several hundred bandits, or at least, that's what I've heard," she replied, "I can help you find them if you want."

"Thank you very much," he said with a smile. She began to lead him to an alleyway, saying that it was a shortcut. Takahata automatically went on guard, but outwardly kept a calm appearance. Naturally, she ended up leading him to a gang of magic-school drop-outs. They were easily beaten within a few seconds, but almost immediately, they began laughing. They began joking with each other at how fast they got taken out. "I thought that you said you were going to lead me to Medera," he said to the girl.

"Well, this was more or less a test, most people end up failing it, I mean really, what's the point of trying to take out several hundred bandits if you can't even take out 20 of these guys?" she said, "Well, in any case, I can lead you there now."

At the town of Medera

Takahata asked her, "Is this it?" "Yeah..." she stared in shock as she saw the bandits all lying face down in the dirt. She knew that Takahata was strong, but not this strong. He had beat up all of the bandits with his hands in his pockets.

Takahata continued traveling with her for a period of 3 years, helping the people and beating up the bandits and monsters. Eventually, he went back to Earth with the girl. As she couldn't remember her name, he gave her one, Shizuna Minamoto, he caller her. He asked the Dean of Mahora for a job for himself and Shizuna.

Whew! That was hard to write. But Takahata's story is now finished! Bet some of you weren't expecting the last part, lol. So as I said, next chapter is Negi's story.
