The Knight of Mahora Academy

Period 20: The Knight in Mahora Academy

Happy Belated Birthday gift from me to you. I would've gotten these out yesterday on the day but damn it takes a long time to revise this stuff.

So...Eva and Negi did the deed. Always knew she couldn't resist that Springfield charm. Plus there is no better aphrodisiac then knowing it's the end of the world tomorrow.

[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]

"Towel. Check. Swimsuit. Check. Sunblock. Check." Konoka smiled, "Okay, I think I have everything I need for the beach. Secchan, what about you?"

"I think I have everything." The swordswoman pulled on the large bag she had with her for the trip out of Mahora. With her trusty blade over her shoulder, the young bodyguard was ready to follow her mistress out into sea, "Ojou-sama, do I really have to prepare all of these things for the trip?"

"Of course you do. What would happen if we got there and you realized you needed something you didn't pack! That's the worst!" The brunette smiled and wagged her finger, "When you're about to leave on a trip, you always realize you forgot to take something when you're too far gone to get it back. Better to pack and plan in advance for stuff like that."

"Y-Yes, and while that is a good plan to go by," Setsuna nodded, "I was actually talking about the trip itself. Should I be coming along?" The young fighter nervously stated, "From my understanding, this was supposed to be a private invitation from Iincho-San to Negi-sensei, yet it somehow ended up with most of the class coming along to join them."

"Oh, we all know Iincho would adore the chance to spend time with her friends."

"She looked ready to crack the earth when she found out everyone would be on her private jet."

"Don't you worry about that Secchan, just get ready to enjoy a vacation at the beach!" Konoka pulled out her swimsuit and giggled, "Do you think this will look good on me?" The Hanyō blushed intensely at the question as the princess giggled at her response. She turned to the other side of the room, "What about you, Negi-kun? Are you prepared for the beach trip?"

The redhead boy was sitting sorrowfully in his little cottage with a heavy look on his face. His bag laid open in front of him, basically completely empty, as the young teacher sighed and hung his head. The ermine on his head continued to pat his forehead, "Aniki? Aniki? Please respond? A bunch of pretty ladies are putting away their swimsuits just a few feet below us and I can't make comments without your boyish innocence to counterbalance me."

"What's wrong with Negi-sensei?"

"He and Asuna are still in the middle of that big fight and they haven't made up." Konoka sighed, "Asuna came in here first and packed her bag before leaving. Negi-kun tried to have a conversation with her but Asuna just ignored him and walked on by. He's been devastated ever since."

"Is she still upset that he didn't bring her along underneath the library?"

Konoka knowingly looked upwards, "Well, that's what Negi-kun thinks, so they're still hung up on it."

"Oh." Setsuna blinked before looking to the other side of the room, "And what happened to him?"

"Oh, Naruto-kun was excited to come on the trip with us as well, but then Nitta-sensei got word of it and told him he had to stay." The two girls looked over to the downtrodden blond sprawled across the couch with a hollow, empty look in his eyes. Naruto looked as close to a living corpse as possible as Konoka shook her head sadly, "Apparently he's been spending too much time with our class, and the other teachers have a lot of work to do over Golden Week. And since he's here as an assistant teacher-"

"He's going to be helping everyone with their bitch work." Kyūbi finished as he hopped up on Konoka's bag and comfortably settled into it, "They only now realized they have a little slave to push all their dirty work on, but he's been spending so much time with all of you and the Little Red Moron that they've forgotten about it. But they're taking advantage of it now."

"Oh." Setsuna went over to her Magister and bowed her head, "I'm so sorry, Naruto-sensei."

"Blue water. White beaches. Sun for days." The blond Mage wept and wiped his eyes, "Dammit. I can't remerber the last time I went to the beach."

"7 months ago."

"I mean a beach where I wasn't being attacked or had to clear it of flesh-eating monsters as a job."

"Oh, if those don't count then never. You've never been to a beach before." Kyūbi answered with a yawn, "I'll make sure to enjoy the trip on your account. If I'm not sleeping under the warm rays of the sun I might just let you sneak a peek through our connec – AH! Little fucker!"

"Oh no way are you going while I get stuck here!" Naruto held the demon fox upside-down by his tails as the vulpine snarled and snapped for his face. The blond kept just out of reach of his biting, "If I have to suffer here at school then you're suffering with me the whole damn way!"

"You are one petty little asshole."

"I learned from the worst."

"Why you-"

"Now now you two, don't go arguing the whole time we're gone." Konoka interjected before the two could start clawing at each other. She put her hands on her hips and looked between the two, "We're entrusting the room to you while we're away, and we better not find it all messed up when we get back." Naruto and Kyūbi frowned and looked at each other in spite, "Please try to get along better while we're away, okay?"

Naruto reluctantly nodded, "Yeah we won't mess anything up."

"I make no such promise." Konoka pouted, "Ugh, fine. I won't mess up your stuff."

"Good boy." Konoka playfully patted his head before picking up her bag. She turned around and climbed the ladder to the nook, "Negi-kun, time to wake up."

"Huh?" The redhead blinked, "Oh, I'm sorry Konoka-San. I'm just a little distracted. I-I'll pack my things right now." Negi started picking up his stuff and putting them in the bag before he paused and sighed again. He stopped before blinking, "Oh, I did it again."

Konoka sighed, "Negi-kun, you cant keep spacing out like that. I know this agreement with Asuna is really bothering you, but sitting here feeling depressed about it won't help either of you solve it."

"Exactly! Thank you Konoka-oneechan!" Chamo chimed and then ran down to his shoulder, "She's right, Aniki! If you wanna bury that hatchet with Ane-San, you gotta buck up and do something!"

Negi shuffled nervously on his knees, "I-I know that, but I can't get it out of my head."

"You know what might help you?" Konoka sweetly asked, "Some fresh air, and a change in location. Now I'll be there, as well as Secchan, and I'll help you and Asuna work things out, okay? So you have to cheer up, alright?"

Negi tentatively nodded, "Okay."

A loud thud drew their attention back to the other side of the room, where Naruto laid on the ground with a shower of speckled wall raining down on him from the crack in the roof he made. Their attention then turned towards Setsuna having taken a step back from the fox that was now the size of a horse. His seven tails swayed behind him before he looked at the people staring at him...

"Starting now. Now I won't mess up your stuff."

[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]

"Now just because this is Negi-sensei's class doesn't mean you should indulge in his students' eccentricities. As an assistant teacher you cannot be using your time here to be goofing off and playing with others. Even Negi-sensei understands that and he is considerably younger than us. He may be rather naïve but his drive and work ethic are one to be admired." The grumpy suited teacher fixed his glasses up his nose, "Are you listening to me?"

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I'm listening Nitta-sensei. But I'm also trying to figure out how to get your desk out of the room." Both men stood outside the 3-A homeroom and looked down at their objective; the desk the girls of 3-A had procured and given to Naruto as a gift. The older teacher grumbled as Naruto tilted his head, "I don't even think this thing can fit through the door. How the hell did they get it in there in the first place?"

"I suppose what 3-A lacks in basic discipline, they more than make up for in creativity and imagination." The old teacher's frown deepened, "At a detriment to my health, of course." He fixed his glasses and sighed, "I still have a lot more work to prepare my students after the break, so can you handle the rest of this by yourself?"

"Yeah, I should be fine." Naruto nodded as he looked at the problem with a titled head. He hummed, "So I cant mess up the desk or the doorway, right?"

"W-Wha - no! Of course not! Why would you even suggest that?"

"Just checking." The young blond said as Nitta stepped away, grumbling something about ridiculous claims and childish ideas. Naruto pushed the back of the desk across the floor before it smacked against the doorway. He sighed and crossed his arms, "Damn they are clever. How the hell do you force in a desk twice the size of the opening?" He cupped his chin in thought, "Hmmm, what should I do? What would Raka-Ji do?"

No, the school had to remain in one piece.

"Nagi?"

No, the desk had to remain existing.

"Negi?"

His nerves were too strong to be frayed from something this silly.

"Eva?"

He couldn't insult the table into doing what he wanted.

He just then realized how useless all his friends and companions were in helping him solve this matter.

Naruto stood there alone in the classroom and tried to look at this problem from multiple angles. But while he did so, he didn't realize he wasn't actually alone. One person sat in the room and watched him struggle with the issue. And they were also present when the girls of 3-A had initially taken the desk and maneuvered it down from the teacher's office. So of course they were ready and willing to help the blond teen with his issue...

Unfortunately they had no presence and were practically imperceptible, even to a magically trained eye.

But luckily, she still had some tricks up her sleeve.

Naruto felt a soft breeze waft over the back of his neck. He turned around and saw the window open with the wind causing the curtains to flutter.

A tiny smirk grew on his face, "Oh, sneaky."

[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]

Naruto slowly peeked over the edge of the window of the teachers' room to see if any of the staff were present. His eyes slowly roamed from the left to the right, and his shoulders relaxed as he realized there was no one present. Okay…time to be…stealthy.

He knocked both windows opened and tossed the desk through it, watching the piece of furniture bang and clack against the marble ground with a loud thud.

"Like a glove."

Naruto jumped in after it and closed the windows behind him. The young blond smiled proudly and looked at the result of his handiwork with several desks jostled and pushed out of place while Nitta's desk had left a series of scratches over the ground. Okay, that wasn't so bad. The whiskered teen lifted the desk up on his shoulder and looked at the damage. Alright so if he put that down there and moved that there and subtlety situated this at a corner like that…

"Perfect!"

"Huh? Naruto-kun? What are you doing here?"

Naruto shot up in surprise and turned around to see Takamichi and Shizuna entering in the room. He quickly turned to them with a nervous smile, "Oh nothing! Just moving Nitta-sensei's desk back in place at his request." He innocently scratched the back on his head, "It just didn't feel right to keep what wasn't mine."

"He hounded you, didn't he?"

"It was genuinely terrifying. I can see now why most of the student body want to avoid getting on that man's bad side." He shuddered, "His glare...it's just so unsettling."

"You carried his desk all the way back to the teacher's lounge?" Shizuna asked curiously as she looked down at the piece of furniture in question. The older woman looked impressed, "I'm surprise you can lift that heavy desk all by yourself and move it up here."

"O-Oh," The boy blushed nervously and scratched the back of his head at her line of questioning, "Um - I know some techniques for lifting heavy weight like that by myself. Lots of pacing. Lots of breathing. But oh man am I glad I finished it in time!"

"And how did you get it up here without anyone noticing? We should have seen you on our way up the stairs."

Naruto blinked, "Um-"

"Now now Shizuna-sensei, no need to interrogate the lad." Takamichi chuckled and stepped up to his side to pat his shoulder, "We should appreciate that he completed his job so well and so quickly.

"Heh, I suppose you are right, Takahata-sensei." She nodded in agreement with her fellow teacher as she looked down at the young man, "It must be odd for you to be working here with us while others your age are off for the week."

Naruto shrugged, "Yeah, it kinda sucks. But I guess that's just part of the job."

Takamichi chuckled, "It must be especially weird to have your room all to yourself while your roommates are off to the beach."

"Hey Takamichi, it hurts a whole lot less if you don't remind me about everything I already know."

"Right, sorry." The older man patted the frowning boy's shoulder once more, "But you know, while this might not be the beach, I'm sure there is still a lot of fun to be had here at the academy. Maybe if you walk around a little when you're done with work, you'll find something worth your attention." The blond teen made a quiet humming sound before the dandy man chuckled, "Well since you're free how about you go through the classrooms and check if any of the other teachers need assistance."

"Got it."

Naruto walked out to find the next group in need of his help as the older duo watched with a hint of amusement in their eyes. Shizuna hid her laughter behind her hand, "When I see you two interact I can't help but imagine someone looking after their little brother."

"Heh, well I've known him since he was just a little kid. Same as Negi-kun." The older teacher smiled fondly, "It's sort of my obligation to look after them and make sure they're adjusting alright."

"That's very sweet of you." Shizuna smiled and stepped up to her desk, "Well, we won't get anything done just standing around-"

"Um, Shizuna-sensei, is that your desk?"

Shizuna blinked and looked down to see her desk had an assortment of different papers, photos, and other pieces over it that weren't hers. She rolled her seat out and looked around at all the different desks in the usual spots; missed matched pieces of peoples' belongings on other desks and scratches marring the floor around them. Shizuna curiously tilted her head in confusion.

Takamichi sighed and rubbed his eyes in exhaustion.

[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]

Naruto walked around Mahora's campus after the day had ended and he had been set free from his working burden. He strolled along the path, arms stretching over his head and letting out a loud yawn before smacking his lips together. The scarred blond looked around at the students and faculty that still lined the street during the holiday, "Huh, I guess not everybody made their way back home during the break. I wonder if they all just hang out in their rooms while they wait for the classes to start again-"

"I don't care about the humans and whatever they do. What the fuck are we going to do for food?" Kyūbi growled quietly into Naruto's ear. The multi-tailed fox was perched on his shoulder and looking around urgently for something to eat, "With the Princess gone we have nothing to eat. You didn't think that far ahead, did you, you damn idiot?"

"Oh Konoka prepared plenty of food for us to eat while they're gone. It's just that some stupid goddamn fox," Naruto stared hatefully into the demon's eyes, "Decided to gorge himself on our food because he got hungry after waking up, just to go back to bed and sleep. So it's a bit fucking annoying to hear you complain to me about food."

"I got hungry. What do you want me to do?"

"Not eat all our reserved food!"

The duo hissed at each other and then looked away as Naruto walked them through the center of the streets. The young Mage looked around for something they could eat but stopped when Kyūbi suddenly stood up on his shoulder, "What is it?"

"I smell something." The fox's snout moved as he sniffed the air, "Something good. Something tasty. I found food!"

Kyūbi jumped off his shoulder and ran down the street in a hurry. Naruto was quick to follow after him and realized after a while that he too smelled something wafting through the air. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was strong and alluring enough to get his mouth salivating. The boy and his fox ran next to each other, racing each other to reach the goal first until they skidded across the concrete to spot their prize.

"Welcome to Chao-Bao-Zi! Where the delicacies are tasty enough to pull in everyone from everywhere!"

Naruto and Kyūbi spotted the empty rail cart appropriated into a diner filled with cooking devices, plates, and other restaurant necessities. There was a surplus of people, students and teachers alike, sitting down at tables and taking their orders on the go. There was so much delicious and steaming hot food that it was making both the Mage and fox drool from anticipation.

"Oh, Naruto-sensei. Greetings."

"Chachamaru?" He was surprised to see the usually stoic and formal android walking between the tables with trays in her hands and dressed in a qipao. She delivered the table its orders before turning to face him, "What are you doing here?"

"I work at this establishment during certain days." The green-haired artificial girl answered, "We have quite a lot of customers coming to eat at this spot, so a capable staff is very necessary."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "And Eva is okay with you working here?"

"Well the people that created me are the proprietors of this eatery, so they have some claim as to my ownership and what they need me to do. Of course I help only when Master has freed up some time in her schedule to allow me to assist here. Usually she is very strict about when that is, but since she is mentoring Negi-sensei now she's preoccupied herself with a special project."

"Special project?"

"Correct."

"For Negi?"

"Correct."

"For his training?"

"Correct."

"And should I be concerned about this?"

"You can visit the cottage if you want and see for yourself what she is preparing. I am sure Master would appreciate the company."

"I doubt she would and I really don't want to but something tells me I'm gonna end up there anyway because I fear for Negi's life so I'll just reluctantly agree and nod my head."

"Understood. I shall inform Master that you will be visiting soon."

"Hey, Robot Girl, this conversation is riveting and truly a marvel to hear but can you both just shut the fuck up for a second?" Kyūbi scurried up Naruto's back and perched on his shoulder to stare at the android, "We are in desperate need of food."

"He's exaggerating." Naruto chuckled, "I'm in desperate need of food. This little fat sack of shit could probably use a week or two of fasting to get some pounds off his chubby little tails."

"I can tell from the animosity in your tones and the passive-aggressive wording that there is some tenseness between you two. However if you are looking for food then this is the right establishment." Chachamaru motioned for them to follow her as she made her way to the food car, "There should be some empty room for you to eat at the car, but whether the cooks and other servers can accommodate-"

"Hey, Naruto-sensei!" The bun-haired girl called out from the compartment of the car and waved to him, "We were wondering when we would ever get to see you around here! Come over here! Sit at the counter!"

Naruto hummed happily and strolled over to the cabin. He took up a seat and let the fox run off his shoulder and sit on it as well, "He can sit up here right? That's not against a health code? Because if he needs to be booted off then I'm totally okay with that."

"Nah, he's fine." Chao smiled and waved off his concern, "If anyone brings up a complaint to the health inspector, I'm sure we can figure it out. Greasy palms. Sideways looks. All will be fine." The teens shared a laugh before Chao paused, "You know I probably shouldn't be saying things like that out loud."

"I won't tell a soul."

"And that's why I'm happy to serve." Chao cackled before pointing to herself, "I think it's only right that I introduce myself and the team! I'm Chao Lingshen, seat #19 of class 3-A! Over here is are fellow servers Satomi Hakase and Chachamaru Katakuri, seat #24 and #10 respectively!" The bespectacled girl and android nodded and bowed to the blond boy, "And of course our distinguished chef, Satsuki Yotsuba, seat #30." The larger girl in the chef hat looked up from her post and waved before going back to preparing her food, "And our other server, Ku Fei, seat #12, is currently out and on vacation. And that is the wonderful little staff of the Chao-Bao-Zi!"

...

...

They all remained silent as Chao's declaration hung in the air.

Naruto blinked, "Why...why did you introduce yourself like that? I know your names. We all go to the same class together. What was the point?"

"Grand introduction." Chao answered with a shrugged, "I mean if we don't make an effort to make an impact then we'll just slip into obscurity."

"Chao-San has some quirks we still can't define to this day." The short bespectacled genius stepped up to the counter with a pen and pad, "What can I get for you?"

"Um, Any recommendations?"

"Satsuki! One special please!" The chef girl nodded and started getting to work as the grinning super genius leaned against the counter across from the whiskered blond, "You know you're super lucky. Usually we have so many customers piling up to eat here that we have to turn some folks away. Today's a slow day so we can get to everyone."

"This is a slow day?" Naruto looked around and saw while there were still some empty spots and seats, there were a lot of people seated around the area. He whistled, "Man, I wouldn't want be here when it's busy."

"Oh it gets hectic." The bun-haired girl smiled, "But where's the fun if we can't rise to the challenge?"

"We like to use Golden Week as a chance to practice and stretch our legs before the Mahora Festival. Things get unbearable around that time." Hakase answered as she placed a plate of nikumen on the counter in front of him, "Here's your appetizer."

Naruto tore the bun in half, taking half for himself and letting Kyūbi feast on the other side. He savored the delicious taste, "So Chachamaru tells me that the other half of her creation came from this cart?"

"That'd be us." Chao wrapped her arm around Hakase's shoulder and pulled her in with a chuckle, "The two smartest minds in Mahora. We helped bring our wonderful little Chachamaru into the world."

"It wasn't easy." Hakase mentioned while stepping back to a station in the cart, "Countless hours fashioning the perfect pieces and joints to create a body. Attempting to cool the inner motor systems so they don't spontaneously combust. Not to mention the endless sleepless nights correcting and running her programming, fixing mistakes in the coding that resulted in infinite loops, and other such challenges that come with creating one of the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world."

Chao nodded and patted her friend's shoulder, "Labor is never easy. For any mother."

"Chao-San, I would greatly appreciate if you stopped comparing my creation to the normal birthing process." Chachamaru said in her monotone voice.

Naruto nodded, "We're trying to eat here."

"Of course in the end we required Evangeline-San's assistance with her, well, special resources."

"I still can't believe two middle-schoolers had a hand in making an actual working android." Naruto marveled at the robot standing at his side, "Of course I guess I shouldn't expect anything less from the biggest geniuses in Mahora. I just hope you're prepared to face the consequences when things inevitably turn sour and Chachamaru turns against us and overthrows humanity. No offense Chachamaru."

"None taken." The android standing patiently at his side nodded politely, "Hakase-San and Chao-San have actually prepared many plans to make sure I do not take dangerous actions like that. They call those protective systems the Cliché Robo-Lord Defense. Such subroutines include not upgrading humanity into a form of higher and superior living by removing their central nervous system and placing it into a robotic body: Cybermen protocol. Not messing with the space and time to assassinate anyone that may threaten my control of everything: Skynet protocol. And that if my self-awareness and intelligence were ever to advance to a point where I form my own emotions and consciousness, I handle these impulses in a healthier fashion and not slaughter everyone I meet that is different from me: Westworld protocol."

"Savvy and forward thinking. I imagine that's better than most people who think about making an android. I appreciate that." He nodded to his hosts as the two geniuses graciously bowed their heads. Hakase stepped out to take care of one table's order as Chao leaned against the counter again and chuckled while her customer finished his bun, "I gotta tell you I'm surprised. I didn't think a super genius like you could be so approachable."

"Well apparently I'm not approachable enough considering this is the first time I've had a conversation with you!" The excitable bun-haired student slumped against the counter and pouted, "You know there are a ton of us that want the chance to hang out with you and Negi-sensei too, but you're always so preoccupied. I mean I get that you like to hang out with your roommates and friends but we wanna interact and have fun too."

Naruto smirked, "I didn't know I was so popular."

"Well when you covet the new class toy all to yourself, others are bound to get jealous." Chao chuckled at the peeved look that suddenly took his face after bursting his bubble. The bun-haired girl redirected her attention to his side and carefully sneaked a few steps over, crouched like a predator as she eyed her prey, "Of course. The most fun to be had. Would be. With...Ku-chan!"

Kyūbi let out a surprised yelp as Chao swooped him up from the counter while he snacked on the meat buns. She squeezed the multi-tailed fox close to her chest and snuggled up to him happily, "Aw, Ku-chan, you're just so cute. I love how soft and fluffy you are! Ah, I wanna use you as a pillow!"

Naruto and Chachamaru watched the genius squeeze and hug the irritable demon up close to her face. They were both surprised to see her sudden affection for the little fox happen without provocation. Of course while she rubbed her face into his orange fur, she seemed to ignore the low guttural growl Kyūbi let out that slowly rose in intensity. Naruto spoke up, "Um, you might wanna put him down."

"I agree Chao-San." Chachamaru nodded, "I don't believe Kyūbi-San likes to be handled like that."

"Oh I bet he does!" Chao dreamily stated before laughing and holding the fox out at arm's length, "But if he doesn't like that I bet he'd like it here." She pressed her finger behind his ear, "And here." Another one by his rib, "And here." And finally one finger by the base of his tails, "And...scratch."

She gave him a tiny scratch on each of the points she touched...

The demon fox went lax in her hands, nearly comatose with his eyes rolled back and his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

Chachamaru's eyes widened as Naruto reeled back, "What the fuck?! How did you do that?!"

"Well just scratch the right spots and it's easy." Chao laughed as she laid the almost comatose animal on the counter where his little paws and feet twitched in the air, "Like a tactical strike. The right locations get hit and he's all yours."

"You need to teach me that! I would do anything to shit this little bastard up whenever he gets on my nerves!" Naruto immediately said before realization hit him, "Wait, back up. How do you know where to scratch him to get that kind of reaction?"

"I'm a super genius, duh." Chao laughed, "I figured it out." The bun-haired girl was tapped on the shoulder as the chef held out her finished masterpiece. Chao turned around and took the bowl from Yatsuki, Naruto straining his eyes to see what she had hidden from him before she turned around with a smile, "Ready for your order?"

"What is it?"

"Tada!" Chao exclaimed with joy and fanfare as she lowered the bowl directly in front of him. Naruto's eyes widened in shock at the exquisite bowl of ramen that was placed before him. He swore tears would come to his eyes from how wonderfully the broth shined and the noodles gently breached the surface. The spare fishcakes littering the sides and topped the pieces of meat. Chao sneered as Naruto barely held back his drool, "A Satsuki Yotsuba Special, Chao-Bao-Zi Undeniable Ramen. Made with such care and such ingredients that it is irresistible to anyone with a working nose and taste buds. The noodles are like heaven on your tongue and the meat is so succulent yet nearly melts on your tongue. The broth is so rich it can bring you to tears and it all accumulates until-"

"IKADAKIMASU!" He didn't even wait for her to finish as he broke his chopsticks, clapped his hands, and dug into the meal. Cool air blew over the hot noodles before he shoveled them into his mouth and slurped them up. The blond savored the flavor and moaned in blissful delight, "Oh my god, this is the most delicious ramen I've had since coming here."

"Thank you." Satsuki bowed her head graciously.

"Everything blends together so perfectly and it's so delicious. It - it brings a tear to my eye." They started streaming down his cheeks, "I feel so warm. I...I actually feel warmer. I..." Naruto touched his eyes and noticed mixed in with his tears of joy was sweat on his cheeks and brow. He started panting and taking a deep breath, "W-Why is it so hot?"

"Oh, that would be the multitude of powerful spices dumped in it."

"W-What?!" Naruto gasped, "Yotsuba-San, did I do something to anger you?!"

"It wasn't me." The nice girl shook her head, "Chao-San got her hands on it first and added them for flavor."

The girl in question giggled mischievously as Naruto huffed, "Why?!"

"What can I say? I'm just a little stinker." Chao shrugged before a sly grin stretched her features as she leaned in, "Is it too spicy for you? If it's too much you can just stop eating it." Naruto took short, deep breaths with his red tongue hanging out before he looked between his bowl and his tormentor, "Of course if I calculated its taste correctly - and I can assure you I did it perfectly - then even though it's so spicy, it must be so delicious that you can't stop yourself, can you?"

"D-Damn you." Naruto muttered, shaking in his chair as his shoulders trembled. He grabbed the bowl and roared, "DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU FOR MAKING THIS HELL SO DELICIOUS!"

Chao grinned and turned back around to work inside the cart. Satsuki leaned in, "Did something happen, Chao-San? You're not usually playing pranks like this."

The girl giggled and shrugged, "What can I say? I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have fun with him."

Chao stepped out of the cart and Satsuki resumed with her cooking. Chachamaru went back to serving the tables as Naruto forced himself to devour the delicious bowl of hellishly hot ramen.

Kyūbi woke up in a start, "What the fuck happened? Did I go to Heaven?"

[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]

"Gamn. Gamn. Gamn, shoo gamn kot." Naruto muttered with his tongue hanging out in hopes that it would cool down outside the brimstone cavern that was his mouth. He took a sharp, cold breath of the crisp night air and whined as he pulled his tongue back. He hissed, "That was still one of the best bowls of ramen I've had in my whole life. That woman is a diabolical genius."

"Who gives a shit about your burnt tongue! Let's focus on the injustice that occurred to me!" Kyūbi exclaimed in Chachamaru's arms as the fox shuddered, "I can still feel that Evil Girl's disgusting, bony fingers lingering over my poor, innocent flesh."

"Says the demon fox that was the scourge of my village."

"She assaulted me. It was awful. I can't even begin to describe it." The fox looked up at his green-haired carrier, "Robot Girl, when we have free time you and I must recreate the awful crime that woman has committed against me. As evidence against her, of course!"

Naruto frowned, "Kyūbi, if you ask Chachamaru stuff like that again just for your own pleasure I'm gonna get really pissed off."

"Screw you!"

"We are here." Chachamaru announced as they arrived at Eva's cabin on the edge of the academy. The android fished out her key let him follow her in. The whiskered teen looked around and noticed that the Dark Evangel's abode was surprisingly normal and tame. If she was really as evil as the stories said there would be skinned animal flesh hanging from the walls coated in blood. Instead he spotted some mannequins and pillows with a hint of lavender in the air, "I believe Master will have finished her preparations downstairs in the basement."

"What exactly is she preparing for Negi's training anyway? She can't use her magic and there will only be so much she can teach him through instruction before she has to move on to actual training and sparring."

"Yes, Master has planned for that." Chachamaru agreed as they made their way through a hall of dolls and mannequins, "That is why she has prepared this."

The Mage entered a room with the android and fox that was empty aside from a model sitting in the middle of the room. On a small pedestal was a glass dome covering a small, cylindrical tower atop a beach-like Island.

Naruto's eyes widened as he approached the display and inspected it closely. He circled around it and touched the dome, "Holy shit. Is this what I think it is? How the hell did she get her hands on something like this?"

"Master took a location she had grown fond of and placed it in a magical space where time moves at a much slower rate." Chachamaru answered as she stepped over to a design in the ground, "She decided to utilize it for Negi-sensei's training when he returns. She believes it is the optimal choice for getting as much training as possible in during his very busy schedule." Chachamaru stood in spot as the ground below her started to glow, "We will be waiting for you inside."

She disappeared and left Naruto alone to stand in the room. He looked into the display case and saw no little figures or tiny Chachamarus walking inside it. Well, looks like anyone outside the dome couldn't see the people or things inside of it properly. That was pretty interesting. Having been in a magical space like this before, Naruto knew just how useful it could be for getting more done in less time. Wonder what Eva had set the time interval for this thing?

Well, no way to know without seeing it himself.

He stepped onto the once glowing platform as it started to light up again. He was covered in a blinding light that washed out everything around him. When his eyes had adjusted the drab little basement room was gone and he was instead standing atop a large stone platform connected by a bridge to the main, massive tower-like building. He smirked when he saw the welcoming party there to greet him.

"You're late."

"Didn't know you were waiting for me."

"I was horrified at the idea of you running around in my cottage while I was away." The prissy little vampire said with crossed arms and a frown, "You didn't touch anything did you? Because if you did I'd have to resort to disinfecting it all with fire."

"Oh I touched everything." Naruto said with a grin as he leaned down and sneered at the pompous vampire, "I poked your pillows. I touched your dolls. I ran my finger over the banisters of your house. I suppose all you have left to do now is torch everything you own."

"Perhaps." Eva casually shrugged, "Although I think I'd rather just have you incinerated altogether."

"But if you did that then you'd be lonely. Why else would you be waiting here at the portal for me to arrive? You're lonely and bored out of your mind."

"N-No I'm not!"

"Oh please, without Negi and the others to come visit you while you train you're desperate for contact. And we both know you ain't the type to come over and ask if anyone wants to hang out."

Eva growled before pointing at the taller blonde accusingly, "What about you?! I bet you're extremely bored without Boya and his entourage constantly around, aren't you?'

"N-No I'm not! I'm totally fine while they're gone."

"Ha, that's convincing!"

The blond teen and the short vampire scowled at each other hatefully before Eva whipped around, slapping him with her hair as she marched towards the stairs, "I can't believe I have to waste my time with you in my tower."

"No worries! I just wanted to check that this wasn't some secret hellscape you were luring Negi into so you could drain him of his blood or whatever." Naruto waved her off as he made his way back to the center of the transfer field, "Now that I cleared that up I'll be on my way."

He stomped his foot on the ground, but the light never came and he wasn't returned to the stone room.

"That's not going to do anything." Eva remarked from the end of the bridge, "Once someone enters, they're not allowed to leave for 24 hours. You spend a day in here, and then you can go back out. A day in here, one hour out there."

"A day? That's the interval?" Naruto sighed before sulking over to her side again, "So that means we get to spend an entire day with each other."

Eva scoffed, "Pfft, don't flatter yourself. I have much more pressing matters to attend to then hanging out with you. Like the fact the moment Chachamaru arrived with your mongrel, he demanded they find somewhere she can help him find the spots that 'feel good'. If your filthy little pet is trying to use my robot for pleasure then I'm going to kill it."

"You remember my lifeforce is still connected to his, right?"

"And my problem there comes from what exactly?"

Naruto frowned, "You are not a good host."

The two blondes made their way down the stairs and through her tower. Every floor was filled with extravagant rooms filled with beds or tables or kitchens filled with food. The massive rooms weren't as empty as expected due to the multiple green-haired women dressed like maids that maintained it. The army of dolls looked exactly like Chachamaru, which meant that Eva had a type and she made sure Chao and Hakase stuck to it when they made the android.

"Mistress." A high-pitched voice spoke up and got their attention. They looked over and saw the little Chachazero doll come running over on her thin, spindly legs. The creepy, wide-eyed doll looked up at the figures towering over her, "I see you invited that dumb-looking whisker guy in. Guess Little Sis really did bring him to see the tower."

"And without my permission too. That girl is going to get some serious punishment when I have the chance." The vampire stated with narrowed eyes. She was the master and ruler of her dolls, and to see one of them make a decision that would annoy her was not something she was going to entertain, "I had to let him in so he didn't cause a fuss."

Chachazero shook her head, "I thought you'd let him in because of how freaking bored you are. You were just lounging on a couch scratching your ass and pondering about which game you should play next."

Naruto threw his arms up in triumphant vindication.

Eva palmed her doll's head and squeezed as she looked Chachazero in the eyes, "Should you be badmouthing your master like that?"

"Was I badmouthing? I was just telling the truth."

Eva sighed with aggregation and tossed her doll over her shoulder. Lucky she went flying directly into Naruto's hands instead. He held the little doll up as she shook her head, "Whoo, Mistress is not in a good mood today."

"Is she ever in a good mood?"

Chachazero tilted her head, "You know I've been by her side for a couple of centuries now and I can confidently say I don't really know." The little doll then looked up at the blond that was holding her, "Oh I've never actually introduced myself to you yet. Name's Chachazero, the first of Mistress' extinguished dolls."

Yep, definitely had a type, "Nice to meet you, my name's-"

"Oh I know, Mistress already told me your name before. You're Dumbass, right?"

"No, that's not my name."

"Really?" She tilted her head, "But it feels like it fits you really well."

Naruto rolled his eyes, annoyed to see Eva's dolls seemed to share her sparkling personality.

"We're lucky you got here in time. Mistress was actually feeling anxious."

He smirked, "Oh was she? I'd love to see what got her panties all up in a knot."

"She was worried she might have gotten too rusty to get into the nitty-gritty part of training."

Naruto just blinked and stared at the psychotic little doll in his hands. He lowered her and spotted Eva slowly stretching out her limbs as if to limber up. Chachazero was raised back up into his line of sight, "What do you mean?"

"Well Mistress can use magic in this space, but she's worried she might be a little rusty because she hasn't had the chance to use it much recently."

"She fought in Kyoto! That rust is most certainly knocked off already!"

"Well she still wants the chance to make sure she can hold back. If she goes all in with the kid she's totally gonna tear him apart. So she's had to prepare for that."

Naruto's sweated, "A-And how exactly am I supposed to help-"

He got his answer an instant later when an invisible force sent him flying back through the room and walls and blasted out of the tower altogether. The blond went free-falling towards the water but spun through the air and kicked off it. He went flying back at the tower and gripped its exterior as he came to a halt, "She's using me as a punching bag?!"

Chachazero nodded in his hand, "She was really excited at the idea when Little Sis came back and told her you were coming."

"Don't I have a say in this?!"

"You can say 'AHHHHHHHHHHH' while I knock you around a little." Naruto clammed up and turned to see Eva slowly coming down and hovering a few feet away from him. The smug vampire smirked as she saw the uneasy expression on his face, "Is the boy that supposedly comes from another reality and followed Nagi and his merry band of morons around that scared to fight?"

"Just caught off guard you little psychopath!" Naruto yelled. He sweated as he saw Eva take his complaints in stride and continue to gather her magic. He looked around in a panic before realizing he had his greatest defense in his hands, "Wait! I have Chachazero!" He held the doll up like a shield, "We can't fight or else your first doll might receive irreparable damage!"

"Ooooooooo," Chachazero's head spun around to face him, "Bad move, Dumbass."

"Huh?"

"She's been by constant companion for hundreds of years. Centuries of honing my power, discovering my limits, and fending myself against the powers and forces that would come to take my head!" Eva smirked evilly, "You think I can't put her back together if she breaks because I got a little rough?"

...

"Run."

Naruto let go of his hold on the side of the tower and fell along its side. He sprinted down it the rest of the way as Eva's malicious cackling echoed out behind him. He came up on the sandy beach below the tower and dropped down on it hard enough to lift a massive cloud of dust around him. He then dashed out over the sea and left a trench in the water behind him that Eva casually chased him through. He yelled over his shoulder, "Can you stop it with the serial killer vibe?!"

"Then stop running away like a baby!" Eva countered, "Geez, one high shrill scream from you and this might as well be a horror-"

"Adeat!"

Naruto's Pactio card flew out of his pocket and changed into several swords that hovered around him. He jumped and spun through the air, kicking their pommels and sending them flying at the vampire. Eva knocked them away with the back of her hands as quickly as they came. The swords started pelting her one by one as the vampire's entire vision was blocked by them.

With a little extra power she shattered them all to pieces and forced the Pactio to revert. But her opponent had slipped away from her and was dashing back towards the tower. Eva smirked, "You can't escape for long."

Naruto made it to the room at the bottom of the structure and ran in looking for something to help him escape. Fortunately he spotted a familiar green-haired servant sitting on a couch across from his demon fox familiar, "Chachamaru! Kyūbi!"

"I'm saying you are usually doing a great job, but what that Evil Girl did to me just wont stop affecting me!" Kyūbi confessed while hanging his head, "I don't know what to do."

Chachamaru nodded, "Well I am sorry Kyūbi-San, but I doubt I will be able to help you as I am now. Maybe it would be best if I stopped scratching you altogether?"

"Don't be like that."

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING?! EVA'S TRYING TO KILL ME! HELP!"

"Just deal with the Bitch yourself. Don't bother me with it."

"Sorry Naruto-sensei, but if Master is looking for a spar, it might be best to accommodate her."

"See Dumbass, just let Mistress smack ya around a bit and all's well!"

"DAMMIT!" Naruto tossed Chachazero onto the couch before he focused his magic and started chanting a spell. He felt a presence behind him and spun with another sword in hand. He channeled his Ki through it and let the weapon brim with lighting as he spiked it like a bolt of lightning, "HA!"

"Yep, definitely the disciple of that unbearable moron." Eva palmed the attack in her hand as bolts of lighting jutted off in every direction. The little vampire felt the attack struggle against her barrier as it continued to strike. She let out an appreciative hum before finally grabbing the blade by the tip and stopping it altogether, "I'm almost impressed by how sturdy that attack was for just a reflexive strike. But you'll need more than that-"

Naruto used Shundō to appear right behind Evangeline after she had halted his technique. A mighty roar tore from his throat as he threw a kick up into her blind spot. The force of the strike and wind burst through in every direction around them. The boy's eyes widened in shock when he saw the vampire's hand had effortlessly caught his kick just behind her back. A smirk stretched her face again before she felt Naruto shift in his position and force his captured foot further into her hand.

"Crimson Spiral Art: Yggdrasil!"

A mighty fire erupted around Naruto's leg, a multitude of Sagitta Magica traveling up to the foot she held in her hand. A massive explosive power burst out and annihilated a portion of the Dark Evangel's body. Her abdomen was reduced to an empty hole with blood covering the edges. A feeling of relief filled Naruto as he had his chance to run.

Until her hand swopped down and snagged his foot before he could pull it away. She spun around violently before letting go and spiking Naruto up into the sky. Dent after dent was left against the outside of the tower as Naruto bounced off it like a rock on water.

He finally reached the roof again and landed on the ground with a huff. That would have hurt a lot worse if he hadn't concentrated his Ki at the last moment. He took the moment of relief to give a heavy sigh, "I knew vampire's could regenerate but she was still moving without a chuck of her chest. I mean what the fuck?"

"You'd be surprised what I can casually take and still kick ass." Eva's voice spoke up and made Naruto jump up in preparation. The powerful vampire hovered in the air, part of the clothing that had covered her chest now vaporized and revealing a fair amount of skin as she ignored her undressed state, "Although I'm surprised quite a bit by you as well, Dumbass. I thought your use of magic and Ki was mediocre at best, but your skill at switching from one to the next almost instantaneously is actually very impressive. I don't see fools even twice your age with control like that."

"I guess I can take that as a compliment, no matter how backhanded it felt leading up to it." Naruto rubbed his shoulder and nodded, "Yeah, Raka-Ji beat me around so much as a kid that I needed to develop that skill as a necessity. Did me pretty well in my field work too."

"Good to see someone putting their training to practical experience. But from what I heard, you have a little something more than just switching between those two energies on the fly." The wind started to pick up around the roof as Eva held out her hand. Several tempests of ice and darkness formed around her as she gave a toothy, maniacal grin, "Why don't you try to use your special technique against this, huh?"

"Dammit." Naruto muttered, sweating a little even as the temperature started to lowering and become frigid from her magic. Looked like Eva was going to push him until he showed her some special technique. And if it was based off his Ki and magic, then only one came to mind.

It would hurt if he used it for too long, but if it was just for a moment-

Fire and lightning coated his body, a violent and volatile mix of Ki and magic surging from his from.

"Crimson Spiral Art: Herald of War."

Eva's smirk widened as she threw her attacks. Naruto lowered his stance and chambered his fist.

"Crimson Spiral Art:-"

He lunged out and threw a punch-

"Gungnir!"

A powerful lance of his fire and lightning pierced the vortex of ice and darkness. Though there were more of them and they covered a wider range, Naruto's strike was instantaneous and powerful as it blew the storm away. The sky cleared up from the power of the attack and the roof slowly cleared.

She whistled, "Damn, that is pretty impressive. I can look past the sheer stupidity of forcibly mashing Ki and magic together and appreciate how explosively powerful it is. Too bad you can't meld it more peacefully like with Kankohō." She crossed her legs in the air as the vampire noted, "So the Boya told me if you use it for too long it starts tearing your body down."

"Yeah, makes me feel stiff and tired." Naruto huffed as he stood up and rotated his shoulder, "But just for a burst like that, then it's not so bad. Like forcing yourself to lift something at your limit." The whiskered Mage took a deep breath before raising his eyebrow, "There, are you satisfied? Can you stop chasing me?"

"Oh I'll stop chasing, but we'll still be bored if we don't do anything else. We still have over 23 hours to kill." Eva smirked as magic swirled around her hand again, flakes of ice and snow fluttering down as she sneered down at the whiskered boy, "We could stop now if you like. You'd just have to beg me to leave you alone."

A vein pulsed over his brow as he clenched his fists, heat and flames radiating off of it.

"Not on your life."

[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]

He would never say out loud just how relieved he was to been let out of that hellish display with that sadistic little psycho-bitch. If he stayed he was sure he'd never hear the end of Eva's haughty laughter and taunting. But in his defense a dozen hours of nonstop fighting against the Dark Evangel herself was a feat he could hold in pride, even if she mocked that she didn't even have a scratch when it was over.

He on the other hand passed out after the fight had finally come to an end and slept for thirteen hours straight as he recovered. When he did wake up he found out Chachazero, Kyūbi, and Eva had drawn stuff on his face while he slept. Taking a quick trip to the baths to wash off the crude mustache, monocle, and a dick on his cheek, Naruto vacated the magical space and left his fox to fend for himself in the vampire's lair.

It was past midnight now, but he was still feeling fresh and new from spending an entire day resting in Eva's resort. Besides most of the company he shared it with, he could see how much of a benefit that place was going to be for all of them.

It was just unfortunate that Negi had to spend all of the time in there being hounded by Eva. He'd have to spare the little guy a prayer for his health.

It was late in the night, and everyone that went off on the beach trip would be returning by the morning. And he was wide awake so he didn't see a need to go to sleep. So instead he decided to focus his time on something else. Something Negi had mentioned after they came back from Kyoto about the map Eishun had given them detailing a secret Nagi had left in Mahora.

Apparently after his sparring match with Chachamaru, Negi had ventured down through Library Island with Nodoka and Yue's guidance. They had passed through numerous treacherous traps and floors to finally arrive at their destination. A beautiful, untouched sanctuary under the very depths of Mahora Academy, with a massive stone door encompassed by wood and stone. This was where Nagi's secret was hidden. And the reason they couldn't get through the first time they came...

"Yep," Naruto nodded, "You are a big sucker."

The massive dragon slowly climbed down from its perch, predating the small blond that appeared before it so late at night. It bared it's massive teeth and blew a huff of air out of its nostrils, letting it wash over the blond. The dragon planted itself on the ground across from the young Mage and let out a low growl that shook the ground.

"Yeah, I bet you're protecting whatever it is that's down here, right?" Naruto slowly raised his hands up, empty and passive as not to alarm the great creature before him, "Well whatever is down here, I think an old friend of mine was the one who left it. And if he is then I need to see it right now. I don't want to fight-"

The dragon spit a mighty rush of fire that scorched the grass and ground in its path. Flames reduced everything in their way to ashes before the dragon finally stopped its breath and brought the inferno to a halt. The dragon stared at the results of its destruction before looking up at the domed area around it.

Perched upside-down on the top of the secret area, Naruto stood on the dome and looked down at the mighty creature that had nearly reduced him to a cinder. He watched the dragon's wings start to pick up wind as it lifted itself up and charged at him. It's gaping jaw stretched out to its limits as it planned to trap him in its maw.

Naruto launched off the ceiling and flew at the beast with equal intensity. He summoned his artifact as it took the form of a long, black chain that hung loosely between his hands. The scarred Mage leapt off the air just before the dragon's jaw could snap down on him. Between the beast's teeth, Naruto's chain sunk into its mouth as he rolled over its head. Leaping off the scaly monster's back, Naruto yanked on the chain and forced the dragon to follow after him as they fell back towards the ground.

Landing on the ground he was quick to jump aside before he dragon could crush him under its weight. Claw after claw cratered the ground as it tried to crush him, but Naruto deftly evaded by slipping by its legs and under its belly. While he avoided its attacks, he used his Pactio to create more and more chains that he tied around its legs and pinned to the ground. It struggled and fought to escape but the numerous chains in its weakest points were keeping it from gaining any leverage.

Naruto circled around and charged towards its face as its wings started to pry the chains off. A black and red shield appeared on his arm, guarding him from another rush of blazing flames that split around him. He roared at the top of his lungs and charged at the beast as it tore itself free and prepared to continue the fight.

Only to pause when Naruto's hand rested on its nose before it could make another move.

The tension slowly evaporated from both the boy's and the dragon's bodies as their need to fight vanished. The chains he had used to bind the beast down disappeared and let the massive creature free to move again. Naruto's hand slowly ran back and forth over its nose in an effort to relax to beast. After a moment the dragon slowly lowered itself to the ground and allowed the boy to rub is nose.

He smiled as he pacified the dragon and brought the fighting to an end. Having trained with dragons before he knew just how strong and resilient the beasts could be in a fight. But after enough training sessions with them he also knew that some of them didn't want to always fight, simply treating it as a defensive measure since so many others resorted to it when they first spotted a dragon.

But dragon's were intelligent, and wise, and if you could show them that you didn't want to fight, then they could be peaceful creatures as well.

Naruto smiled as he petted the dragon's face, "Sorry for getting rough with you for a bit back there."

It growled.

"Well I mean rough by my standards. Don't even know how much of that you felt." He chuckled and patted the dragon's cheek before his eyes looked up to the door the dragon guarded. It watched as the young Mage stepped around its head and stepped up to the towering doors in front of him.

Naruto sighed and placed both hands against the doors before pushing against them. He struggled and huffed but failed to make them budge an inch. Sealed by magic, and a very strong and intricate one at that. He wasn't going to get in without a key, and it didn't seem like Nagi had left them one for their convenience.

"Showed us a door with a dragon as its guard, and didn't even give us a way to open it. Dick move." Naruto sighed and stepped back, leaning against the dragon's belly as he stared at the door, "Definitely a Nagi trick."

The dragon reached back and exhaled on him. He fixed his ruffled hair before petting the beast on the nose, "Sorry for causing you so much trouble. I promise I'll come back and give you a huge serving of charred meat as a treat, okay?" The beast nodded, "And if I bring that little redhead from earlier with me, can you promise not to attack him? He's a bit panicky but he plays nice."

The dragon lowered its head and allowed Naruto to rub the scales on its scalp before he left. Waving goodbye, Naruto made his way out of the secret sanctuary and back up into the main structure of Library Island. Leaving the dragon by itself in the empty garden to guard the unmovable door.

A hand stretched out from a long robe and rubbed the side of the dragon's belly. A soft, amused smile came to the man's features as he let out a chuckle.

"Glad to see you still have some surprises up your sleeve, Naruto-kun."

[[[[[[[[Omake: And So It Begins]]]]]]]]

"Welcome back everyone!"

"Hey, Negi-sensei!" 3-A sounded off in unison as they greeted their young teacher after their extended break.

"I hope you all enjoyed your time off because we'll be getting back to work now." Negi smiled, "If everyone will please take theirs seats."

The students rummaged around the room until they found their spots and prepared for class.

The room went silent as a wet popping sound filled the air after someone sat down.

Everyone looked over and saw a bright orange sheen of paint covering Chao's butt and lower back. The genius looked down at the mess on her uniform and the paint that dribbled off her chair. She lifted up the false cover on her chair to reveal several packets of paint hidden underneath it.

Instead of screaming or freaking out, Chao giggled and nodded her head, "Very nicely done. Should I assume this was payback for the ramen."

"Absolutely." Eyes turned to Naruto who nodded from his chair, "It was delicious, and the prank was good, but you start a prank on me and I'll get you back."

"Fair enough." Chao nodded, "I was expecting retaliation. And this was very well done. But you do realize that this means war, correct?"

"Are you sure you want to go that far? We can stop now and just call it even."

"The shots have been fired, Naruto-sensei. We simply except that now and follow the drums of war."

"I suppose it was inevitable in the end."

"War does not determine who is right or who is wrong. Simply who shall remain."

...

Negi crumbles over the tension in the air and shivered, "I-I don't know what's going on, but I am terrified."

[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]

Done

A diabolical mind like Chao. A mischievous evil like Naruto. And all of 3-A to suffer in the middle.

Let the prank war begin.
