//------------------------------// // Negi Springfield Magister Magi // Story: Mahora: Multi-dimensional exchange student program // by Kaliann25 //------------------------------// It was a typical day in Ponyville: the sun brightening, the birds chirping happily, the villagers working with a smile on their faces… and Twilight Sparkle having another of her world-famous panic attacks. Like always, the reason of this was a letter of Princess Celestia; but this time, she wasn’t alone. Her number one assistant Spike joined her making their library a total mess. “Okay, what’s the matter with the two of you?” asked Rainbow Dash walking into the library with the rest of their closest friends. “This is bad! Really bad!” Keep saying Twilight while walking in circles. Rarity sighed and pulled Spike’s arm. “Spikey-Wikey, do you mind to explain what’s going on?” Spike just showed them the letter. Rarity and Pinkie Pie read it and gasped. “And how bad is it?” asked Applejack. Rarity and Pinkie gulped. “She have another exam… this time she have to fight Princess Celestia! Silence. Then… “WHAT?!” “I KNOW” shouted Twilight. “What I suppose to do, girls? There’s no way I can defeat her… not a single way. There’s not a single kind of pony magic she didn’t know perfectly well and… and… THIS TIME I AM GOING TO FAIL NO MATTER WHAT I DO!!” “But do you really have to fight?” asked Fluttershy worried for her friend. Twilight nodded. “It’s all on the letter. She gave me two months to prepare myself such as unlimited access to Canterlot Archives; but even if I spend all the time in the Archives, there’s no way I can beat her. She’s a very strict teacher and I know she’ll never lower her level only to give me some advantage. I’m doomed! Pinkie started to think bouncing on the same spot over and over again. “I know!” she said happily. “What if you go learn magic somewhere else? When we were looking time spells I found something to travel through other dimensions. What if we use it and…? Twilight froze for a little but then she gave Pinkie a massive hug. “PINKIE, YOU’RE A GENIOUS! I mean it, it’s just brilliant. If Equestrian magic can’t beat her, another dimension’s magic will do the trick! SPIKE, WE’RE LEAVING TO CANTERLOT IMMEDIATELY” “Adventure, wiii” said Pinkie very happy. And just like that, the seven friends went to Canterlot to find the spell Pinkie mentioned. Once they presented the document signed by the Princess herself, the Archive Guards let them enter and the search started. Twilight was still hysteric but their friends offered to find the spell giving her time to recover. And after just thirty seconds, Pinkie gave her the scroll she was looking for. “Here you go Twilight” She smiled thankfully and started to read. “Thank you so much girls. Really, sometimes I wonder what I will do without you. Thank you a lot for your help, but I think I can manage this from now on. Are you coming Spike?” Applejack grinned. “Do ya’ really think we just gonna let you go to an unknown place just by yourself? Wrong friends Twi, we’re going with ya” “WHAT?” asked Twilight. Rainbow Dash flew to her sternly. “Seriously, you can be really stupid sometimes even if you’re a genius” “I’m coming with you darling” said Rarity calmly. “And there’s nothing you can do to stop me” Fluttershy just stranded firmly and Pinkie was with her. At the end, Twilight let escape a sigh of defeat. “I should see this coming. Very well, fine, you can go with me; but stay together. This spell is relatively easy but the most ponies you transport, it gets harder” They obeyed while Twilight put her magic to work concentrating with all her capability. The whole building of Canterlot Archives trembled violently while the power of the spell made the six ponies and dragon disappear. Hide in a corner, the Princess raised an eyebrow. “Well, I never saw that one coming. You just get this much more interesting Twilight Sparkle” Japan; Campus of Mahora all girls Academy; class 4-A: An eleven year old boy entered to the classroom ready to start his lessons. His students, all girls between sixteen and seventeen years old, greeted him with joy. Negi Springfield was a gifted child, who graduated with all honors from the prestigious Magic Academy from Gales and he was one of the most powerful mages of all times. A truly Magister Magi. And he was only eleven years old! “Good morning” said Negi happily. “Good morning Negi-sensei” said the entire 4-A class. On Negi’s desk was a cup of coffee and homemade cupcakes waiting for him. “I baked you this, sensei” said in seductive tone the class president, Ayaka Yukihiro. A girl with orange her and red and blue eyes called Asuna Kagurazaka rolled her strange eyes. “As always, your pathetic attempts to get the boy doesn’t know shame” provoked Asuna to Ayaka. “My feelings for Negi-Sensei can’t be understand by an unevolved monkey such as you, Asuna-san” answered Ayaka. “WHAT” shouted Asuna attacking Ayaka, who received her ready to start one of their typical fights. The whole class started the same old rutine: to cheer them and gamble who they though was going to win. Negi ran to stop them, but as always, an unwanted punch sent him to the other side of the classroom. Nodoka Miyazaki, a girl with dark purple hair quickly helped Negi to stand. The boy was to try to separate the girls again but a thunder on the middle of the classroom interrupted the fight. “Negi-sensei, if you use magic is cheating” complained a pink haired girl called Fumika Narutaki. But it wasn’t Negi. A twister made of magic appeared in the middle of the classroom and slowly took the form of six young girls with strange hair and strange colored skin (imagine Equestria Girls desings). Twilight almost fainted because of the effort but Applejack held her gently. “Twilight, resist. Look! Your spell worked, we traveled to another plane of existence!” “I’m okay” said Twilight weakly. “I’m just exhausted, but don’t worry for me. We’re all here and that’s what is important. I’ll recover, I just need some time” A girl with cyan skin and multicolored hair was staring at herself with surprise. “For the love of Celestia, what are we?” screamed Rarity. Rainbow was more annoyed than scared. “Damn it, I can’t fly in this form. What on Equestria happened to me?” Pinkie laughed happily as usual. “I like it, we look funny” And in the meantime, the girls from class 4-A were approaching slowly. Negi was just worried for the girl with purple skin and purple hair, he felt how she used a lot of magical energy. Then one of the girls screamed when she saw the small purple dragon who was with the strangers (dragons exist in the world of Negima so Spike will remain in his normal form). “Who are you?” asked Ayaka after notice the strangers weren’t a menace. “Why are you in our classroom?” Twilight recovered a little and stand with the help of Fluttershy. “Sorry for the interruption. We’re from Equestria, the Magical land of Ponies and… I used an ancient dimensional travel spell looking for a master. My name is Twilight Sparkle and I study magic, I have a very important test in two months but in order to pass it, I need to improve my magic. Right now I’m looking for a powerful sorcerer who can teach me some magic unknown on my land” Said that, Twilight fall asleep. A girl with orange skin and a cowboy hat just smiled and confronted the class. “As Twilight said, we’re looking for a master for her. Ma’ name is Applejack and these are ma’ friends Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Spike. And when Twi told us about her plan, we had to join her in case she gets into trouble” “So you’re all ponies? KAWAI!” said Fuuka Narutaki with excitement. “Can we go to visit? Can we? Can we? Before the ponies could react, the whole class started with their questions followed by the typical craziness of the class; such as a circus performance from Zazie Rainyday; a martial arts demonstration from Ku-Fei and Kaede; and much more. “So we’re in the world full of Pinkie Pies” said Rainbow. “Unbelievable” And effectively, soon Pinkie Pie joined to the madness making it even more loudly when Ayaka Yukihiro called to the order. “Minna-san! Please show a little dignity! Today we have important visitors from another world, try to calm down for god’s sake!” And the scandal calmed, but just a little. Ayaka was about to scream to shut them, when Nodoka Miyazaki came closer to the visitors along with her best friend Yue Ayase. “So you’re here to learn some magic? Just her or all of you?” asked Nodoka shyly. “Only Twilight have magic abilities” said Fluttershy gently. “That’s not true” said Yue. “Nodoka and I also were interested in learn magic and Negi-sensei prepared us very well; even if at the beginning we didn’t know nothing” and like showing her point, she took a magic wand and make a few sparks. Haruna Satome, another friend of Nodoka and Yue winked an eye. “See? Negi-sensei can do everything! After all he is a Magister Magi” The girls from Equestria exchanged excited looks. “So you’re saying that Negi-sensei can teach us magic too if we want?” asked Applejack. “Yey” said Fluttershy softly. “Cool! I’ll be a unicorn; or maybe not but I’ll have my own magic! I can barely wait” said Pinkie. “Magic? Why not? Sounds awesome!” “And is my opportunity to improve” mumbled Rarity. Twilight woke up and after her friends explained the new plan, she nodded excited. “Okay, now get me to that Negi-sensei” Haruna, Yue and Nodoka turned to the boy, who seemed as excited as the visitors. His students were about to say something when he suddenly rushed to the main door. “I have to speak with the director, I’ll be right back” he said before he disappeared. And after a few minutes, the boy returned with a giant simile. “I have spoken with the director and proposed him an idea: an exchange student program” The classroom muttered because of the excitement but Twilight shook her head with a tiny smile. “Sorry but I’m not attending any school. I’m Princess Celestia’s personal student. Your idea sounds good boy, but still I don’t think is possible. Unless… I think she will love the idea but I need time to recover before we can go ask her personally” Satsuki Yotsuba, the class’ cook offered Twilight a warm bun. Twilight accepted the treat and she recovered in a matter of seconds. Incredibly the cook power of Satsuki was stronger than ever. “Incredible” mumbled Twilight feeling her full strength back. “You should have your own restaurant” “I have it, the Chao-Bao-Z” Twilight smiled and then concentrated her power… and the she remembered she didn’t have a horn to canalize her magic. Like guessing what her problem was, the boy offered her one of his wands. At first Twilight just stared to the magic artifact but decided to give it a try. One more time the magic twister appeared taking in it the seven visitors along with Negi. They disappeared… And reappeared in Canterlot Castle just in front of the Princess. She was reading the friendship reports calmly when she felt the well-known magical energy of her student. Twilight and the rest of the Bearers of the Elements materialized with a young green unicorn colt. Twilight looked at her mentor. “Eh, hi Princess Celestia. Sorry for interrupting you but I was studying for your test and one thing let to another and now we have a small project to propose you” The Princess raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? What is it my faithful student?” Twilight just pushed Negi to the Princess who smiled calmly at the boy. How old was he? Ten? Eleven? It didn’t matter, if he had something to propose she shall listen. “Is a pleasure to meet you, Celestia-No-Hime-Sama. During our English class at Mahora Campus, your student materialized in the middle of my classroom asking for a powerful master who teach her advanced magic. The thing is, in order to give her what she wants, we need her to stay at the Campus so I spoke with the director and we agreed to start a dimensional exchange student program. This six girls will study with the rest of the 4-A and in exchange, we shall send you six of our best students” Celestia gasped in surprise. She liked the idea, very mucho but she certainly will never thought about it by herself. “So you’re saying you and other five classmates will be studying with me? I love the way you think my boy” Negi seemed a little confused. “Hime-Sama, I think there’s a mistake. I can’t study with you” Celestica chuckled, what a shy and charming little boy. “There’s no mistake little one. You were the one who thought about the exchange student program so is just fear you be one of the lucky colts or fillies that will study with me” Negi was about to say something but then he remembered he had to discuss who’ll come with the rest of his class. He turned to one of the walls and concentrated his power on his inseparable magic staff. “Rastel Rascir Magister, HUIC OSTIARIUS APERIT DOMI AD!” The power of Negi’s magic turned the wall into the magical portal between Equestria and Mahora. Negi walked back to his classroom taking again his human form. Then he turned to the astonished ponies and smiled warmly. “I haven’t introduce myself properly yet. My name is Negi Springfield. English teacher of Mahora Campus and I own the title of Magister Magi. Twilight-san, Rarity-san, Rainbow-san, Applejack-san, Fluttershy-san and Pinkie-san; from now on I’ll be you teacher so I hope we become good friends” The ponies just dropped their jaws. The boy was the famous Negi-sensei? How was that even possible? Celestia couldn’t hide her frustration. She felt the great power of the young one now than she concentrated… and she had to admit he was stronger than she when she was eleven, much more stronger. Still the boy was smiling excited to his class. “Twilight-san’s teacher is alright with this!” He announced proudly. “For the next two months this six ponies and dragon will be studying with us. Let’s make them feel welcome and comfortable during this time. Now, I think is just fear we decide together who will be the lucky girls who study with Celestia-No-Hime-Sama during the exchange student program. If you…” The class started another of their famous scandals deciding the important matter. Negi sighed and turned to Celestia. “They’re a little noisy, but good girls. I promise…” “Are you sure is a good idea?” mumbled Rainbow to Twilight. Celestia had to laugh. During all her years, she never witnessed such joy in a place as tiny as that one. One more time Ayaka Yukihiro called to the order. “I propose myself. We all know I’m one of the most capable students of all Mahora. Polite, a true lady and excellent notes. I’m the obvious choice” “I agree” said Asuna. “Imagine two months without Iincho: paradise” Ayaka’s face turned red and yelled to Asuna. “WHAT DID YOU SAY MONKEY? Well, I’ll be more than happy to get rid of you for the next two months. Imagine how nice and quiet will be our class without you and the rest of the Baka-Rangers” Then the blond girl stopped her shouting and grinned evilly. “That’s it” she said and then turned to Celestia. “Tell me, are you a firm and strict teacher? “Well, I am” said Celestia knowing where that was going. “Just ask Twilight Sparkle” Ayakas’s grin got bigger. “And do you think you can turn the dumbest an laziest students who spend their time playing silly games into straight A students?” Celestia nodded then Ayaka laughed evilly. “That’s it minna-san! I propose the Baka-Rangers” Makie Sazaki and Asuna tried to complain but Ku-Fei, Yue Ayase and Kaede Nagase just sighed. “Okay, we have five, need someone else” mentioned Negi. “I know! Miyazaki-san, can you go with them? I think someone like you will love the whole experience?” “What?” cried Asuna. “You’re okay with HER Negi-Bouzu?” Negi nodded. “I know is difficult Asuna-san, but I think you all need to improve in your studies and this is the perfect way to do it. Besides, you’re very powerful and if something happen, you can protect Equestria. Don’t you think?” Asuna started to protest with her friend Makie but they were grabbed by Ku-Fei and Kaede, the martial arts monsters of Mahora and made them walk to the portal. Six Equestrians and six Mahora students stared each other for a while and then crossed the portal. “We’re on your hands, professor Negi Springfield” said Twilight with confidence. She was astonished how a young boy was more powerful than her. The prove was he kept the portal open for a very long time without any sing of being tired. Negi invited them with a gesture and then the two groups crossed the magic portal.
