(And we're back with another installment my friends. In this chapter Negi and Dustin each gain another partner. Well let's get this chapter started.)

One afternoon at the girl's dorm, Negi and Dustin were sitting in the lounge relaxing away, "Man class today was tiring." Dustin said.

"Dustin we were the ones teaching." Negi reminded him.

"I know, doing all that was tiring." Dustin chuckled.

"I suppose you're right. Well our training with Evangeline won't be for another hour that gives us plenty of more time to relax." Negi admitted.

"Amen to that brother." Chamo said as he puffed his cigarette.

"Hey Negi-kun, Dustin-kun!" a female voice said as they looked over seeing Yuna, Akira, Makie, Ako, and Kasuga approach them with Yuna jumping over the couch landing on Dustin's right side while Kasuga plopped herself onto his right side.

By Negi, Akira plopped herself down on his right side while Ako occupied his left side, and Makie draped herself over Negi from behind and rubbed her cheek against his own playfully, "Afternoon girls, did you just get back from your club activities?" Negi asked.

"Yeah, and just in time we still got an hour before our training with Evangeline." Kasuga said.

"So we can relax with you guys before then." Ako added as she rested her head close to Negi.

"The training she puts us all through is really no picnic." Yuna said.

"Yeah, it's traumatizing." Makie added while trembling.

"But you know we have been getting stronger with her help and all we've done outside training." Akira reminded them.

"Yeah, I've never felt so strong before in my life." Kasuga added.

"Good to keep your spirits high girls," Dustin smiled, "After all when we all act as one there's nothing we can't accomplish." He suddenly found himself pulled into a headlock by Yuna with the side of his head pressing into the side of her breast as she noogied the other side of his head.

"Especially when we got two sweeties like you and Negi-kun leading us on." She giggled.

"Ok-ok, easy on the head Yuna." Dustin chuckled while secretly blushing from being pressed into the side of her breast. Negi and the girls chuckled at Yuna's flirting.

Meanwhile in the forest surrounding Mahora, the twins Fuka and Fumika Narutaki were out wandering around as part of their Walking Club. "Fuka are you sure we should be walking out this far without Kaede?" Fumika asked her sister in worry.

"Come on Fumika, if we keep relying on Kaede to come out here or elsewhere how else will we get everyone to stop treating us like we're little kids?" Fuka asked.

"Well…"

"I mean we may be junior high girls but due to our height they all see us as little girls." Fuka continued.

"I get what you're saying." Fumika admitted.

"So come on let's hike through the Mahora forest and prove we don't need supervision!"

"Ok." The bun haired twin agreed and followed her sister through the forest.

As they walked they were straying off the path from what route they'd normally take. Being around a spot of the forest they weren't as familiar with they looked around in worry.

"Um Fuka, I think we're lost."

"Don't be silly Fumika I know exactly where I'm going."

"Well I feel we passed that bush awhile ago." Fumika noted.

"Nonsense, you're just seeing things." Fuka assured until they looked up ahead at a clearing seeing a black portal materialize out of nowhere.

"What's that?" Fumika whispered.

"I don't know." He twin whispered back.

Suddenly exiting the portal was Voltaire the pyromancer dark warrior, "Yes I made it." He snickered.

"Sis, who is that?" Fumika trembled.

"I don't know that either." Fuka replied.

Voltaire looked around the forest and thought, 'Now I can put the plan into motion.' He then flashbacked to what Ragnarok had told him before arriving.

Flashback

Voltaire was meeting with Ragnarok as his master spoke, "You will infiltrate Mahora Academy and burn their forest to the ground."

"What good will that do?" Voltaire asked.

"Simple half of the academy campus is surrounded by trees. You set them on fire and they'll spread all around until the entire academy is incinerated!"

"Very well master I'll get to it." Voltaire nodded and walked off.

Flashback ends

Voltair cracked his knuckles, "Time to go to work," he held out his hands conjuring two fireballs within them, "Let's spread some flames!" he started throwing them around as they hit two trees setting them both on fire. The twins gasped seeing this and watched as Voltaire set another tree on fire.

"Fumika, let's get out of here." Fuka said as they were about to leave only to come face to fave with six shadow soldiers.

"Going somewhere girls?" one asked only for the twins to cry in fright.

Voltaire smirked watching the few trees he lit on fire, "Voltaire." One of the shadow soldiers called.

The pyromancer dark warrior turned seeing them, "What is it?"

"We found these two sneaking around." A third said as the others pull Fuka and Fumika over while being restrained.

"What should we do with them?" another asked.

Voltaire smirked at their terrified expressions, "We'll let them burn in this forest once I incinerate it."

"What are you?" Fuka gasped.

"I am Voltaire, the pyromancer dark warrior. And it will be the last name you ever hear!" he cackled.

Back at the girl's dorm Negi, Dustin, and the sports girls were ready to head over to Eva's cottage until Takahata, Zyphon, Eva, Chachamaru, and Rin arrive, "Negi, Dustin, girls we got a problem." Rin said.

"What's going on?" Negi asked.

"The forest on campus has been set on fire." Takahata explained.

"Fire?" Dustin gasped.

Ako looked out the window and gasped seeing smoke coming from the forest, "He's right look at that!"

"Oh no, if that fire spreads we'll all be toast." Makie cried.

"What can we do?" Yuna asked.

"The faculty and I are getting the students to safety," Takahata began, "The dean wants all of you to do something about that fire."

"Consider it done Takamichi." Negi answered.

"Negi, let's summon the girls." Dustin said as they summoned their partners pactio cards and activating them the rest of their partners were teleported before him.

"Oh thank goodness, we were just about on our way here." Ayaka said in relief.

"We know the situation." Kaede added.

"And we're ready for action." Mana confirmed.

"Then we have no time to lose." Eva replied.

"Agreed, come on!" Dustin called as they all hurried out of the dormitory.

Back in the forest Voltaire was blasting tree after tree with his fire blasts, "Disco Inferno! Burn baby burn!" he sang while doing some disco moves and every angle he pointed he set a tree on fire.

"Fuka, it's getting really hot here." Fumika panted as sweat was dripping down her face.

"I know," Fuka coughed, "And this smoke is blinding."

Voltaire looked around seeing how much his fire had already started incinerating the trees, "Ah what a magnificent work of art." He marveled at his work.

"Bombs away!" a voice called as Voltaire looked up seeing Tootless launching a blast of lightning at him only for the dark warrior to jump away avoiding the attack.

"What?" he gasped as Negi, Dustin, and their partners appeared.

"So you're the one causing this wildfire?" Negi asked.

"That I am. I am Voltaire; the pyromancer dark warrior." He introduced himself.

"Shadow Master send you?" Dustin squinted his eyes.

"Maybe." Voltaire grinned cheekily.

"Alright girls let's get ready." Kaede said as they were ready to attack until Voltaire held out his hand.

"Before you attack me, take note that I didn't come prepared." He motioned them to turn around.

They did so and to their shock saw the shadow soldiers holding Fuka and Fumika, "Fuka! Fukmika!" Negi and Kaede gasped.

"Save us guys!" the twins cried.

"You let them go!" Chizuru demanded Voltaire.

"No, don't think so." He answered.

"Then we'll make you!" Setsuna readied her sword.

"Let's get him girls!" Dustin called.

"Oh boys!" Voltaire called as he summoned up more shadow soldiers.

Negi turned to Kaede and Ku, "Kaede, Ku, you free Fuka and Fumika!"

"Hai!" the ninja and martial artist acknowledged.

"Akira, get on Toothless and use your water power to calm the flames!" he continued.

"Yeah!" Akira jumped on the dragon who flew her above the forest.

"Zyphon, help her out!" Dustin ordered.

"I'm on it!" Zyphon flew up.

"Attack!" Voltaire ordered as his forces went on the attack.

Both sides clashed as Kaede and Ku reached the soldiers restraining the twins and took them out with little difficulty, "You girls ok?" Ku asked.

"Kaede, Ku!" the two hugged them.

"It's ok now, you'll be safe." Kaede comforted them.

Up above the forest Akira conjured water out of the atmosphere and started firing the water at the trees that were on fire, "Zyphon go to the end where the flames haven't touched down!" she ordered.

"You got it!" Zyphon called as he flew to the edge of the forest and started blasting water from his palm cannons at the fire before they could spread further.

Back at the fight Evangeline was using her ice spells on several trees to cool them down making it easier for Akira to put them out. Chao was using her martial arts moves on the shadow soldiers with Sayo blasting some with her ghost rays.

"Good thing I don't have skin." Sayo joked about how heat won't affect her.

"Lucky you." Makie said as she tried ignoring the heat while using her ribbon to whipe two soldiers.

Zazie pulled out a top hat and pulled out a fire exinguisher and started spraying the flames on the bushes. Yuna and Kasuga were firing spirit gun blasts at three shadow soldiers while Chizuru fired a shotgun attack on five. Mana was shooting at some of the soldiers while Chachamaru morphed her right arm into a blaster and joined in the shooting.

Voltaire started fighting Negi, Dustin, and Setsuna launching fire attacks at them. Negi dodged and fired his magical arrows at Voltaire who them but managed to get hit by two. Setsuna started swiping her sword at Voltaire who was dodging the cuts.

"Not bad Shinmei-ryu girl. Too bad your strikes aren't enough." Voltaire mocked her.

"Actually I was stalling so I could use this!" she showed she covered hr sword in spirit energy and with a swipe released a shockwave at Voltaire pushing him back.

"My turn!" Dustin called as he fired a shotgun attack at Voltaire knocking him back even more than Setsuna.

As they fought, Fuka and Fumika watched in awe seeing their senseis and fellow classmates fight against the pyromaniac and his minions.

"They're so cool!" Fuka gasped.

"They're awesome!" Fumika added.

The cheerleaders started cheering their allies on with the power of their cheers boosting their energies making them fight harder. Rin had used her staff firing a blast at Voltaire's back diverting his attention away from Negi and Dustin.

"Ah the princess!" He conjured a fireball only to get blasted by Toothless.

"Touch her and you're dead!" Toothless growled.

Ayaka and Kazumi were fighting two shadow soldiers using the fighting moves Ayaka personally knew while Kazumi fought using the combat techniques Dustin taught her, "I don't know how much I can keep this up. The smoke is getting thicker and its harder to breathe." Ayaka coughed.

"I know what you mean." Kazumi coughed.

Negi looked around seeing his team was starting to succumb to the smoke's affects and knew he had to do something, "Alright. Concentrate!" he called as he uttered an incantation, "Tel Ma Amorista!" he called before unleashing a hurrican breeze blowing all the smoke away making it clearer for them.

"Thanks Negi, thought I was gonna suffocate." Rin said.

Ako looked up seeing Akira was running out of energy to use her water to put the flames out but got a determined look, "Girls give me a boost!" she called to Chizuru and Sakurako.

"Hai!" they called as they grabbed the nurse girl and flew her upward before launching her as she landed beside Akira on Toothless.

"Ako!" Akira gasped.

"Akira, you need more strength, and that's what I'm here for."

"Wait you mean?" Akira asked looking a little pale.

"Yes," Ako summoned her giant syringe, "This'll boost your energy."

"But Ako to use that you have to stick it…" Akira stammered.

"Don't worry it'll only be for a minute." Ako assured her.

"Ok." Akira cringe as Ako popped the syringe into the swimmer's ass making her eyes widen in pain as the supplement filled Akira up increasing her power and she conjured more water than before and rained it down onto the forest putting the flames out.

"NO! NO! Stop it! What're you doing to my beautiful flames!?" Voltaire cried as he tried to take cover from the falling droplets of water.

"Hey Voltaire, try our double combo blow!" Dustin called as he and Negi delivered a double slug knocking Voltaire onto the ground.

Voltaire got up growing, "I will personally destroy you all!"

"Hey gruesome!" Zyphon called as the dark warrior turned around facing Zyphon held aimed his arms at him.

"Taste H2O!" his cannons came back out.

"Huh?" Voltaire asked until the two blasts of water shot out from the cannons aimed at the Pyromancer. Seeing what was coming right for him Voltaire let out a high pitched scream of fright (Judge Doom when he's sprayed with dip scream) as he was sprayed with the blasts of water knocking him to the ground putting the flames on his body out.

Eveyrone watched Voltaire lie in the puddle of water looking weakened, "Now while he's down!" Dustin called.

Voltaire seeing them rushing to finish him used what energy he had to open a portal, "I'm out of here!" he fadedinto it and the portal vanished before they could stop him.

"Great he's gone." Dustin sighed.

"At least we stopped the whole campus from burning to the ground." Mana replied.

"Yeah, I'd say that calls for a job well done." Domino said.

"But look at the trees." Makie gasped as they looked seeing that even though they put out the fire the trees were dead with no leaves.

"This is horrible." Kasuga gasped.

"What can we do?" Konoka asked.

Negi turned to Rin who nodded as they held their staffs and crossed them before uttering an incantation as magic spread throughout the forest restoring all the trees and bushes that were burned back to life. Dustin and the girls gasped in joy at their magic combination while Evangeline whistled in amusement.

"Not bad." She admitted.

The two lowered their staffs and smiled at their work, "We did it Rin."

"We sure did." Rin nodded.

"Um guys we may have a problem." Cocone said as she casually motioned to the twins whom everyone remembered was here to witness everything.

"What was all that?" Fuka asked.

"Senseis how did you both do all that?" Fumika asked.

Dustin and Negi looked at each other and sighed knowing there was no way they could cover up what happened here. Especially since the two girls spotted Voltaire first.

Meanwhile at Ragnarok's lair, the Shadow Master, Pythor, Alistair, Thorn, and Diabound watched as Voltaire reappeared looking soaked and shivered.

"Well looks like Voltaire's all washed up!" Pythor joked as he, Thorn, and Alistair laughed while Voltaire growled with fire in his eyes.

"Shut up! Next time I will destroy them!"

"Voltaire, that's enough! What's done is done. Now you need to go and revive yourself." Ragnarok ordered.

"Yes master, a good soak in my lava jacuzzi for two hours will re-ignite my flames." Voltaire said as he stumbled away back to his quarters.

"Not even Voltaire can defeat them, and you all call yourselves the best there is?" Ragnarok disciplined them while Alistair stood by looking less affected by the insult since he was still training with them. Ragnarok sighed, "Now I need to come up with yet another plan and hope it doesn't get botched by any of you!" Ragnarok stormed off.

Back at Mahora's forest Negi, Dustin, and their crew finished telling the twins the story, "And so that's it." Negi finished.

"Wow, I never would've guessed you were a wizard Negi-sensei." Fuka gasped.

"Or that Dustin-sensei was a spirit warrior." Fumika added as Dustin smiled with pride.

"So you both came here as part of your training so that you two can become a great wizard and spirit warrior like your fathers?" Fuka asked.

"And you entered into probationary contracts with just about all the girls here?" Fumika added.

"That sums it up." Dustin answered.

"That's so cool!" Fuka cheered.

"And very mature!" Fumika added.

Negi and Dustin chuckled at the girls reactions as Negi spoke, "So you see why you must keep this a secret from the other girls."

"Of course otherwise you'll be stripped of your powers and be turned into an animal sensei." Fuka said.

"And you Dustin could be captured and experimented on." Fumika added.

"Correct, so we trust you can keep this secret between all of us?" Dustin asked.

"We promise!" the twins crossed their hearts.

Negi and Dustin smiled until Fuka spoke, "Although sensei, Fumika and I were wondering and we wondered…"

"We want probationary contracts too." Fumika added.

"Huh?" Negi and Dustin were confused.

"It's just, you guys are always so cool with the stuff you do. I mean compared to you guys we're the ones who're children." Fuka said.

"And we hope by entering contracts we'd feel older and more responsible." Fumika added.

"Are you two sure about this, after all the stuff you just witnessed is only a taste of what we really do." Dustin warned them.

"The boy is correct. They face much more dangerous threats even worse than that." Eva added.

"Yes we can tell, but we got involved in this for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and who knows if this will happen to us again." Fumika said.

"This way if we have powers like our senseis we'll be able to defend ourselves." Fuka added.

The twins pleaded, "Please senseis, make us your partners!"

Negi and Dustin were still shocked until they looked at their teams, "Well girls what would you say if we added them to our ranks?" Negi asked.

"Well it's your choices boys." Kaede said.

"Which means you'll be responsible for them as you are for the rest of us." Mana added.

Negi gulped while Dustin nodded and turned to the girls, "Well girls if you really want this. Then we accept you both." Dustin said.

"Hooray!" the twins cheered while jumping up.

"Chamo, Domino get to work." Negi ordered.

"We're all over it!" Chamo nodded as he and Domino drew a pactio circle for both boys.

"So what do we do?" Fuka asked.

"Well it's simple if you want to be filled with Aniki's posse you have to stand in the circle with him and plant a kiss on his lips." Chamo explained.

"And if you want to be able to use spirit energy you stand in the one with Dustin and do the same with him." Domino added.

The twins looked at each other before nodding and Fuka went into the circle with Negi as Fumika went into the circle preoccupied by Dustin, "Alright then it's decided. Let's see some action!" Chamo made kissy faces.

Negi and Fuka faced each other before they planted their lips against each others sealing the contract as Chamo called, "PACTIO!" Fuka was filled with magical energy and a card appeared with her image on it.

Dustin and Fumika smiled at each other before kissing and Domino called, "PACTIO!" and with that Fumika was given access to spirit energy as she received her spirit warrior card and spirt mark under her arm.

When the boys parted from their partners Chamo announced, "Bot probationary contracts are complete!"

Negi and Dustin blushed as Fuka smiled, "That was great!"

"Yeah, that must be what a grown up kiss is like!" Fumika added.

"Something like that." Dustin chuckled.

"Well nee-san's these belong to you." Chamo said as he and Domino presented the twins with their cards.

"Wow, so cool!" Fuka smiled at her card.

"Welcome to the ranks girls." Yuna gave a thumb's up.

"Thanks." The twins said before turning to the boys looking sly.

"Well senseis looks like our wishes on the World Tree came true." Fuka said.

"Huh?" Negi asked.

"Say what?" Dustin was confused.

"Sensei what're they talking about?" Ayaka asked in envy.

"Well you see iincho, we made a wish on the world tree with Negi and Dustin claiming we loved them and wished they'd love us back." Fuka answered.

"And now it's come true!" Fumika cheered.

"Looks like you boys are stuck with us for real this time." Fuka chuckled.

Negi and Dustin looked at each other remembering that did happen months ago when they were given the grand tour of the academy and face palmed while the girls laughed at their misfortune.

Pactio update:

Negi: Kaede, Ayaka, Akira, Ku, Kakizaki, Ako, Sayo, Makie, Rin, Konoka, Fuka

Dustin: Mana, Chizuru, Kazumi, Chao, Sakurako, Yuna, Zazie, Madoka, Kasuga, Setsuna, Cocone, Fumika

(And that's the chapter folks. The boys stopped Voltaire's wildfire from burning Mahora to the ground and each gained a partner out of it. Don't miss next time where Negi has a run in with a figure from his far past, but with the help of two unexpected allies might be able to bring this enemy down. See you then.)
