(Welcome to my next chapter. After the Martial Arts tournament things are going to be getting heavy for our heroes, but they will not be alone in this ordeal. Be prepared for a special arrival at the end.)
Negi was sleeping soundly in bed, until he started to stir. He awoken and to his shock found all of his partners and even Takane in bed with him completely nude. He suddenly realized he himself was bare under the covers as well.
'What happened?' he thought, before realizing, 'Oh, right. After we escaped the paparazzi we all came to Eva's resort to celebrate and get a good rest. I can see each of the girls had a good sleep as I have.' he giggled in his mind, before seeing something under the covers crawling right for him. He saw it was getting closer and popping right out from under the covers was Evangeline in her birthday suit.
She giggled at the boy, "Morning, you."
"Uh, hi, Evangeline." Negi greeted in arousal.
"Mm, hello, handsome," Eva said, before draping her body over Negi, and kissed his neck, "Did you sleep well?"
"I sure did. And judging by all of you, I'd say you all had a good sleep as well." Negi noticed.
"Of course. We're with you, after all." Eva said as she pressed her bare chest onto Negi's.
Negi panted at the feeling of Eva pressed up against him, as she leaned down towards his face puckering her lips, 'I can't resist that face.' he puckered up, and the two kissed.
When they parted, Eva asked, "How was that?"
"Perfect." Negi answered, until he looked around seeing all the rest of the girls were awake and looking envious of what just occurred.
"No fair, Eva-chan!" Fuka cried.
"How come you got to kiss him first?" Makie whined.
"I made the first move, and the first strike starts the war as they say." Eva teased.
Suddenly Ako clung to Negi, holding him close to her naked body, as she spoke to the vampire, "Well, I say the second strike starts the war!"
"What do you mean by that?" Eva asked in confusion.
"Girls, no need for any squabbling." Negi calmed them.
"Negi-sensei is right, girls." Ayaka agreed.
"After all we all came here to congratulate him on his victory and help him relax after such a long and tiring fight." Kakizaki added.
"And we couldn't be more proud of him." Konoka giggled.
"Hey, since Eva-chan got to kiss him. We should too." Makie said.
"I second that." Ayaka agreed, as she crawled up to Negi still embraced by Ako, and kissed his lips.
Ako spun Negi around to face her and kissed him. Makie and Fuka crawled up and each kissed him. Kakizaki went next, as she gave Negi some tongue. Ku took her turn after the cheerleader, followed by Sayo, Konoka, Akira, Rin, Kaede, and Chachamaru.
Takane crawled up and embraced Negi, "Though I am not your partner, Negi-sensei. I am grateful to be here with you." she claimed his lips, while rubbing the back of the boys head.
When they partner, Shizuna the last of them crawled up to Negi, and stroked his cheek, "I thought the way you fought in the tournament. And for that I have two rewards for you."
"And I thought sleeping with me like this was the reward." Negi said in confusion.
"That was a bonus," The busty teacher answered, "These are your real rewards." she claimed Negi's lips, as the the girls watched the older teacher make out with their sensei.
When they parted, Negi was near speechless, "That felt good."
"And it's not over yet." Shizuna smirked, before pulling his head deep into the valley of her mounds.
As Negi was smothered into the busty marshmallow soft orbs of flesh, he thought to himself, 'I really did need this. I wonder how Dustin's doing right now?'
Meanwhile in another room of Eva's resort, Dustin was already awake and lying on the bed in the buff surrounded by his partners. He was passionately making out with Mana, while Chizuru was rubbing her bare breasts against his back.
When Mana and Dustin parted lips, the boy panted, "This is a perfect activity to do in the morning."
Mana smirked, "No denial on that."
"All right, Mana. My turn." Haruna said, as they swapped positions and Haruna started making out with Dustin,as Chizuru continued to pleasure his back with her breasts.
Eventually all of Dustin's partners got the chance to kiss him and rub their chests against his back. Even if Fumika and Cocone didn't have anything to rub against his back, Dustin still felt very pleased at their toned torsos rubbing him down.
When the love making was done, Dustin spoke, "Well, what say we all get washed up and back to the Festival?"
"Good idea." Shakti agreed, as the group got off the bed and headed to wash up.
Once both groups were washed up and dressed, they left the resort and headed back to the festival.
They walked around a bit, as Negi spoke, "Thank goodness there's no sign of the paparazzi."
"Yeah. The last thing I wanna deal with is news hounds." Dustin added.
"Hey, guys!" came a voice.
They looked over and saw Kotaro, Fate, Alistair, and Dustin's pals, "We trust you all were rested up enough?" Fate inquired.
"Of course." Negi confirmed.
"And we needed some extra rest so we can rehearse for our concert tonight." Sakurako added.
"I can't wait to hear that." Dustin smiled.
"Me too." Negi agreed.
"Well we got some time to spare now, why don't we grab a bite?" Chao suggested.
"Excellent idea." Kaede agreed, as the group went off, unaware that shadow soldiers were watching them from afar.
"Let's go." one said, as they followed, while unaware they were also being watched by the cloaked figure who observed the martial arts tournament.
They stopped by the Chao Bao Zi, where Satsuki was cooking up a storm with some of the other cooking club chefs. The whole group was chowing down, especially Negi and Dustin.
"You two should slow down. It's not going anywhere." Mana suggested.
"I can't help it. After that fighting I need this." Dustin answered between bites.
"Same with me," Negi agreed, "Even after spending that time in the resort I still feeling hungry and in need of strength."
"Well, don't choke." Kotaro joked, as he and Dustin's friends laughed.
Once they finished their meal, Dustin spoke, "Well, where to now?"
"Why don't we go on some rides like the ferris wheel?" Makie suggested.
"I like the sound of that." Ako answered.
"As do I," Chachamaru approved, "What about you, Mistress?"
"Whatever." she replied.
As they were about to leave they saw rising up from the ground were shadow soldiers, which put the groups on defense, and the bystanders in fright.
"Hey, guys. Miss us?" one asked.
"Oh, great. And this festival was going so well without them showing up." Dustin sighed.
"Everyone go for cover!" Kaede ordered, as the bystanders ran far away for cover.
"All right, guys. Let's get to it." Dustin ordered, as he and his friends and partners powered up.
"Ready, girls?" Negi inquired, as his partners activated their cards and held their weapons.
"Attack!" one shadow soldier called, as they went into battle.
So both sides engaged with Dustin, his group, and his partners launching spirit attacks one after another. Negi dished out his best magic spells, while using his martial arts skills in conjuncture. Each of his partners were using their own artifacts to destroy more shadow soldiers.
"You know after fighting in the tournament, fighting these guys doesn't feel so bad." Dustin admitted, as he fired a spirit gun attack.
Alistair was fighting along side Yue, as both fired a shadow gun blast. The dark warrior boy answered, "Yeah. How're you holding up, Yue?"
"Oh, swell." Yue answered in sarcasm.
"Don't worry, we'll have them done in a jiff." Ku said, as she Kotaro, Chao, and Kaede struck down some shadow soldiers.
Ina matter of moments, the shadow soldiers were all cleared out and the groups caught their breath, "Wonder why the shadow soldiers have struck now of all days?" Rin wondered.
"I know, they could've had the chance to attack during the first day or even during the tournament." Mana pondered.
"Obviously Ragnarok's been waiting for something." Eva put in.
"The question that remains is 'what'." Shakti added.
"We'll just have to do some investigating." Negi suggested, as he was about to walk on.
Suddenly from behind a single shadow soldier appeared and charged at Negi from behind.
When everyone noticed, they cried out, "Negi, look out!"
Negi spun and saw the shadow soldier right on top of him, "Now you're mine!" the shadow soldier threw a punch at Negi.
Suddenly the cloak figure from before jumped in blocking the soldiers path to Negi, "Stop!" he held out his right hand and caught the soldiers fist.
The group gasped at the strangers sudden appearance, while Negi himself was in shock at what just happened.
"Who is that?" Yuna asked in awe.
"I don't know." Kakizaki answered.
Eva squinted her eyes at the figure who spoke to the shadow soldier, "Know this, your master will never succeed at his plan. For I have sworn to stop him."
"That voice!" Eva and Negi gasped simultaneously, taking everyone by surprise.
'It can't be,' Negi thought in shock, as he could see familiar red hair stick out from the strangers hood, and spoke up, "Father?"
(And there's the chapter. Shocking twist huh? Negi's father has finally entered the fray. Though he has been hiding behind the scene for a long time now, he's finally making himself known. What knowledge does he have about Ragnarok? Stay tuned and find out.)
