The nights at Mahora are incredibly beautiful. Due to the Academy City, there's almost no pollution here, and the vast green areas make it like a paradise on earth. Countless dazzling stars bloom in the night sky. At this moment, however, a classroom in the quiet campus is filled with laughter and joy—this is Class 2-A.
From the cheerful atmosphere in the classroom, it was clear that most students warmly welcomed the new little teacher Negi and Yoshino. However, a few still didn't focus their attention on the cute little boy; their gazes were unanimously fixed on Yoshino, who was talking with Evangeline nearby. Although Yoshino had set up a Magic Formula around her, it was only a Magic Formula for ordinary people. After all, this Magic Formula was an improvement on the 'Dispel Idlers' Magic Formula from the Magical Index world, which could, to some extent, reduce others' attention to the Magic Formula's range. However, for extraordinary individuals, it had little effect. After all, there were simply too many abnormal people in this class, making it impossible to guard against everyone.
Nearby, Konoe Konoka and Kagurazaka Asuna were casually chatting while eating barbecue. Konoe Konoka suddenly asked Kagurazaka Asuna why she was back so late, and Kagurazaka Asuna, who wasn't good at talking, could only prevaricate and avoid the question. She felt it was better not to tell Konoka about Negi, especially since Yoshinon had threatened to physically erase her memories if she told anyone. However, Konoe Konoka seemed even more curious, and seeing this, Kagurazaka Asuna immediately ran away as if escaping.
Leaning against the wall not far from Konoe Konoka was a seemingly composed girl. Her hair was black with a slight blue tint. From her expression, she appeared to be a calm and reserved girl, with a heroic air between her brows. In her hand, she held a katana wrapped in cloth. She seemed to be guarding Konoe Konoka, and the corner of her eye constantly darted towards Yoshino, who was sitting casually nearby. Although Yoshino looked soft and adorable, her intuition told her that this was definitely a strong individual she couldn't currently contend with.
"It must be hard, always guarding your Young Miss." Walking up to Sakurazaki Setsuna was a tall, long-haired girl with dark skin. She held a drink in her hand and offered it to Setsuna. "You don't have to be so tense, you know. This is a welcome party for the two teachers. You should relax a bit and try not to let anyone notice anything unusual."
"Mm, thank you, Ryuuguu-san, but now is not the time to lower my guard. I sense a terrifying power hidden within Teacher Yoshino. The faint aura emanating from her is even more terrifying than the one from Lord Eishun." Setsuna shook her head, accepted the drink from Ryugu Mana, and spoke with serious formality. Her eyes now directly met Yoshino, who was sitting nearby. "Her acquaintance with Evangeline suggests she's no ordinary person. Most importantly, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, perhaps in a photograph."
"Hehe~ You're right, her strength is indeed formidable. You know, she's the 'Saintess of Salvation' who saved the old world. I'm quite curious why someone who was confirmed dead would appear here sixteen years later." Taking a sip of her drink, Ryugu Mana smiled and said to Sakurazaki Setsuna, "So, let down your guard, Setsuna. Even if the world were to end, I wouldn't believe she'd harm your most important Young Miss. Sixteen years ago, she and Konoe Eishun were both members of the 'Red Wings'. She would never harm the daughter of her own friend."
"'Saintess of Salvation'? A member of the Red Wings, just like Lord Eishun? Ah! I remember now! There were a few times I saw photos in Lord Eishun's room, group photos with him when he was younger. Teacher Yoshino was in those photos! Teacher Yoshino looked just like this over a decade ago. Why has she never changed at all?" Sakurazaki Setsuna asked, a bit puzzled. Over a decade ago, she looked this young. Now, she's exactly the same, with no changes whatsoever.
"Who knows? Some say Teacher Yoshino is an angel who descended to save the Magical World; at the time, her title was 'Angel Fallen to the Mortal Realm' because she once appeared before the world in the form of an angel. Others say she is the highest-grade Ice Spirit who slept for thirty years, because they witnessed her freezing an entire fortress with a single strike." Ryugu Mana and Sakurazaki Setsuna leaned against the wall together, watching Yoshino. "Most importantly, almost all members of the Red Wings have bounties on their heads, but she alone has never had a bounty issued by any country. It's not that no one has ever offered a bounty; rather, those bounties were simply to invite Teacher Yoshino to become a Saintess in a certain country's church. So, I'm also very curious about this person who lives in legend."
At the same time, on the other side, Negi sat before a table laden with exquisite food, exclaiming in admiration. Under the gaze of several girls around him, he began to taste the dishes, giving high praise to the flavorful and appealing food. Yoshino also looked at the steamed bun dishes in front of her, and seeing the custard buns on the table, she couldn't resist picking one up and happily tasting it in small bites.
"So delicious! It seems your cooking is truly wonderful, Chou-san." After finishing all the buns like a hamster, Yoshino looked at Chou Rinne, who was holding a tray nearby, and asked.
