"Hmph! A graduation trip? Tch! I don't know how many times I've been through this; I'm very familiar with it!" Evangeline, wiping sweat from her body with a towel handed to her by Chachamaru, said unhappily after hearing Yoshino's words. She had been a middle school student for over a decade, and she had experienced graduation trips several times. How could she not know?
"That's right. Because Master has been a student at Mahora Academy for over a decade, she's heard about this many times. However, due to the curse of the [School Hell] on her, when her classmates went to places like Hawaii, Master could only stay at school alone. She either rolled around at home, zoned out, or went to play chess with that radish-head Director; there was nothing else she could do." Chachare, drinking the alcohol handed to her by the puppet nearby, mercilessly exposed Evangeline's past years, making her expression darken.
"How pathetic." Waka Miyazaki looked at Evangeline with a sympathetic expression. Living like that for over a decade, even an ordinary person couldn't bear it. How did she endure it?
"What a gloomy life, Evangeline-san." Yue Ayase said faintly. After Yoshino and Waka Miyazaki signed a contract, she was also persuaded by Yoshinon and Waka Miyazaki to sign a contract with Yoshino. The item she received was still a magic encyclopedia. There, she looked up information about Yoshino and Evangeline in the Magical World. After learning about these two, she realized what a strong backing she had found. These two were big figures in the Magical World. Although she didn't understand how they became friends, it didn't hinder their pursuit of magic.
"You bastard! If Yoshino hadn't kindly used alchemy to create a body for you, I'd dismantle you right now!" Evangeline glared fiercely at the green-haired Little Loli drinking on the sofa, her voice filled with murderous intent. Ever since Yoshino helped her create a body, this guy had become even more arrogant. Evangeline was already planning when to let her know the master's authority.
"Alright, Kitty. Half of the [School Hell] curse on you has been lifted, so your range of activity is no longer limited to Mahora Academy. You can also participate in this school trip. You know, this trip's destination is Kyoto and Nara." Seeing Evangeline slowly approaching Chachare, Yoshino quickly changed the subject.
"Kyoto and Nara? Don't regular school trips go to Hawaii? Why has the plan changed this time?" Hearing Yoshino's words, Evangeline asked with some confusion. Because Mahora Academy had many graduates, the usual destination had always been places like Hawaii that could accommodate a large number of people. Why was this trip different?
"Hmm~ Kyoto and Nara were originally the destinations for this school trip. It almost changed to Hawaii for some reason, but after my efforts, it's still going according to the original plan." Seeing Evangeline successfully drawn in by her words, Yoshino quickly explained. "Because the Kansai Jujutsu Association and the Kansai Mages Association have always had a very bad relationship, and the Headmaster is also a Director of the Mages Association, I told them that two negima! magister negi magi have joined our school this year. Therefore, they weren't very supportive of our school's Kyoto graduation trip."
"However, the Director no longer wants to continue arguing with those people, so he asked Negi and me to go to Kansai as peace envoys. In that case, going wouldn't be much of an issue." Yoshino then pulled out a letter the Headmaster had given her and continued, "She asked me to deliver this handwritten letter to the president of the Kansai Mages Association. Although the other party might send people to obstruct us along the way, she trusts my strength to deal with those guys, so she confidently allowed Negi and me to take the students to Kansai."
"Heh eh~ Is that so~ I didn't expect that old man to try and use you, Yoshino. I didn't expect him to even use you, the 'Saintess of Salvation.' I think he's probably using your identity as a Red Wings member, knowing that you have no choice but to participate in this trip." Snatching the alcohol from Chachare's hand and downing it, Evangeline narrowed her eyes and said somewhat dangerously, thinking of that radish-head Headmaster who wouldn't even spare his own granddaughter. However, thinking of how he had taken care of her all these years, she decided not to bother him.
"Hehehe~ Because Eishun is the president of the Kansai Mages Association, I want to go see him on this graduation trip. When I woke up after sleeping for over a decade, I immediately came here to find Nagi's son and didn't go to find Eishun. So this time, I want to go see him." Back when she was in the Red Wings, Konoe Eishun was the person who took care of her the most. "He once told me that after the war ended, he would return to the old world's Japan to get married. I regret not attending his wedding."
"You have a good relationship with that guy, Yoshino. Is it because he used to take care of you?" Evangeline asked curiously, looking at Yoshino's somewhat expectant eyes.
Yoshino's treatment in the Red Wings was like that of a princess; she was cherished by all the members. Although there were some muscle-headed guys who always wanted to take rare photos of Yoshino to sell on the black market, overall, Yoshino had a very good relationship with the Red Wings members. This was something that even the Red Wings Fan Club members knew.
"Mm! Eishun always took great care of me in the Red Wings. He always told me he wanted a daughter as cute as me, and when I saw Konoka, I knew his wish had come true." Thinking of Konoe Konoka's adorable appearance, Yoshino knew Konoe Eishun's wish had been fulfilled. Konoe Konoka was indeed a cute girl, though her personality was a bit dark.
"Hmm~ Let's not talk about those problems for now. This school trip should be a bit dangerous. However, with you and me, there shouldn't be much danger. Why don't we let that kid handle this crisis? If he can't even solve this small danger, then he's truly disappointing." Although she didn't say it out loud, Evangeline was arguably the most excited person in the class. She had been stuck in this rotten academy for fifteen years and had never been to the outside world; it was practically driving her crazy! Now that she finally had a chance to go out, why wouldn't she have a good time and let loose? As for the troubles that might arise on this trip? She didn't care at all~ She'd just leave it to those guys in the class; she only needed to enjoy herself.
"Hmm~ but this time the trouble might be more than just this, Kitty." This time, the situation could be said to be extremely troublesome. Not only was there a super expert like Fate, but even Tsukuyomi, the Kamina Style swordswoman, was very troublesome. The current Sakurazaki Setsuna was no match for her at all; she was probably deeply immersed in Konoe Konoka's tenderness and unable to extricate herself. Although Fate and Tsukuyomi wouldn't display overly powerful abilities in this operation, they were still not opponents Negi and the others could face right now.
"Waka Miyazaki, Yue, after this training, please tell Kouhi, Kaede, and Ryugu-sensei for me. Tell them that on the second day of the graduation trip, during the evening banquet, a large-scale battle will occur around the Kansai Mages Association, and ask them to come help." Yoshino paused slightly, then thought of something else and continued, "Specifically, tell Ryugu-sensei that demons might appear."
"Understood!" Waka Miyazaki and Yue nodded and replied. Since it was Yoshino's command, they would naturally record it carefully.
"Yoshino, will something unexpected happen during this graduation trip? The so-called Kansai Jujutsu Association isn't such a big deal, and the Kansai Mages Association also has Konoe Eishun. I think there shouldn't be any accidents," Evangeline said, having also heard Yoshino's words just now. "Moreover, there should be powerful barriers around where Konoe Eishun is located; ordinary sorcerers simply can't break through them. Even if they collectively break through the barrier, Konoe Eishun would still be alerted, so there shouldn't be any significant danger."
"Of course, I know all that, Kitty. It's just that this time, an unexpected enemy will appear, and I know that an unexpected person will show up in this operation… Avidya Lux of Earth. I think you should know this person, right?" Yoshino considered for a moment, then, thinking of Evangeline's strength, finally told her the person's identity. "The puppet of the Perfect World defeated by Nagi twenty years ago and ten years ago; the guy appearing this time is the third generation Avidya Lux."
"What!?" Why would a member of the Perfect World appear there!" Hearing the words 'Perfect World,' Evangeline stood up somewhat agitated, asking without even noticing the wine spilling on her. What she cared about more now was why members of that world-destroying organization would appear here?
You should know that people from the pure Magical World shouldn't be able to come to the old world, so why are those guys here? Most importantly, why does Yoshino know about this?
"The specific reason is unknown. I only know that Avidya Lux of Earth will appear there during this graduation trip. This premonition will definitely come true," Yoshino said with some concern. She didn't plan to help too much with this matter; it was one of Negi's trials. After nearly half a year of training, Negi's strength should be much greater than in the original story.
"Heh~ If that's the case, then this graduation trip will be much more interesting. I'm really looking forward to it."
