It's been a while! Here's chapter 6! |
---------------------------------------------------------- | Chapter 6 : Teaching Someone ? Or Being Teach By Someone? | ----------------------------------------------------------- It's already several weeks after Takusa was enrolling in Mahora Academy. After his main purpose is fulfilled(recover energy for Count Dracula's seal), he kinds of goofing around helping clubs across the school, which resulted amazing achivement. Aside of bringing boys soccer team to national match, he also scouted to played nationally. The girl's basketbal which being considered as school's underdog, has gone to district finals. Other then clubs, he also helps Setsuna and Mana in eliminating demons in Mahora area. Still, he's still had one thing in his mind ; he is bored. When he got nothing to do in his day off, he start to do something ridiciluos. There's one time where Yuna is the last one out from the indoor court. Takusa is still inside the court, and doing a series of 3-pointer dunk. As Yuna returns in the next morning, Takusa still doing that dunk, and it all go in. It should sets on World Record if there's eyewitness. It's just pass the mock exam and the result has been posted at school board. Yes, everyone wants to see what this 'super utility player' can do, but he is not bothered about it since he knows what is the outcome for the result. Instead of gathering around, he goes directly to class that morning. Takusa : (opening door)Good morning. (looking)Ah, only Evan-chan and Chachamaru is here. Chachamaru : (bow)Good moring, Takusa-sama. Evan : Takusa-sama, you're not looking at mock exam results? Takusa : What about you? Evan : You know that I sucks at studying, Takusa-sama... Takusa : What?(scratching head)I thought at least you're good in academics after all these years... Evan : (sweat)If I am, I wouldn't be here after 15 years. Why not helping me break the seal, Takusa-sama? Takusa : (smiling)No way. Instead, I need to thank Thousand Master to lock you here in this school. Let's just say he already punish you on my behalf after you escape from me 300 years ago... Evan : (angry)Takusa-sama!!! Suddenly, they heard a running footsteps, not one but many. It feels like stampede where it getting closer and closer. Takusa : (smiling)They're coming... And then... All : (opening door)TAKUSA-KUN!!! Takusa : Ah, good morning all of you. Haruna : Hey, did you see your score on the school board?!!! Takusa : What about it? Makie : 'What about it' you say?!!! You practicallly got perfect score for all subjects!!! Takusa : I see... Cheerleaders : (cheering)Takusa-kun is soo smart!!! Kazumi : (recording)So, what are your feelings right now, Takusa-kun? Takusa : Kazumi-san, what are you doing? Kazumi : Don't you see? This is a scoop!!! I can see the headlines tommorow ; 'Student Smarter Then Chao Rinshen Appear!!!' With all commotion making by them, Takusa seems don't have any chance to escape until the class begin. By the end of the class, Takusa manage to slip before all the students and reporters 'shoot' him with more question. He needs place to hide, and Evan Resthouse is the only place he can think of. As he goes in, all Team Negima members are already here. They practice hard, since they need to go to Magic World this summer break. Takusa : All of you seems to work hard. Negi : Ah, Takusa-san. What are you doing here? Evan : Yeah, you don't come here often, do you? Takusa : (scratching head)Well, there are some reason... Kazumi : (suddenly appeared)He escaped from reporters actually... Takusa : (stunned)Kazumi-san!!! How did you know I was here? Kazumi : Hey, don't look down on my following ability... Negi and Evan is having close combat, as Chachamaru and Chachazero giving their support as well. In their battle, they do some chatting... Negi : Master... Evan : What is it? Negi : Takusa-san is 'The Person Who Knows Too Much', right? Evan : Yeah. Some people said that his knowledge is close to 'Pandora Box', which is the secret of life's chronicle. Negi : Then, why he said that knowledge can be a sin? Evan : (sigh) You don't heard what I said earlier? Negi : Yes, but I still didn't get it... Evan : Then, let's take a subject for example. What you can do with a stone? Negi : Let's see...building a house, a castle, roads... Evan : That's a good thing, right? Negi : Yeah, but... Evan : You can also use stone to throw at people, which gives a pain to the others. Get my point? Negi : I see. That means, it's about how we use the knowledge... Evan : You're open, Boya... Yes, Negi pays his price for not concetrating in his combat with Evan. Negi : (holding head)Oww, that hurts... Evan : That's your punishment for not focusing when I teach you. Short silence. Evan's taking a quick stare at Negi, trying to figure what is on her student's mind. Evan : Let's take a break. I'm going to ask Takusa-sama to give some tips for your Team Negima. Negi : Really? Thank you!!! Evan : Don't get your hopes too high. He might not willing to share his knowledge with you... Evan doing some talk with Takusa and explain about Negi's search on finding his father. Some expression comes within Takusa's face. He called Chachamaru and more discussions going on, before... Takusa : Negi-kun... Negi : Yes? Takusa : Call all of them to gather around. Negi : Okay. After Team Negima gather around.... Takusa : Is anyone absent? Chachamaru : Hasegawa-san is not here. Shall I call her, Takusa-sama? Takusa : (thinking)No need. Her specialty is will not involve what I want to teach you right now. Short silence. Takusa : How many people can use magic here? Negi, Nodoka, Yue, and Konoka showing their hands. Takusa : How about Ki? Ku-Fei, Kaede, Setsuna and Kotaro showing their hands. Takusa : As for others, I want to hear your specialty for the team. Asuna : I can use Kanka, with 'Complete Magic Canceller'. I also trains with Setsuna for sword fencing, since I have Hama no Tsurugi. Kazumi : I will be informer for the team, where collecting info is my special ability. Haruna : I can summon golems by drawing it with my artifact "Rakukaki Teikoku". Chachamaru : I also will be the informer for the team, and I can fight as long as my energy is not empty. Takusa : ...and Chisame-san should be the strategist, since her ability is not much useful in Magic World. Negi : Chisame-san might not coming along... Takusa : If that's so, you can only rely on Kamo, I guess... Some more silence as Takusa is thinking. Takusa : Aside with Chisame-san and Kazumi-san, all of you can fight, right? Setsuna : If serious fight you're talking about, it will be Negi-sensei, Kaede, Ku-fei, Kotaro, Chachamaru, me, and Haruna. Haruna : Me also? Takusa : I see...Haruna-san can give a good fight, since you can draw fast in "Rakukaki Teikoku". You just need to increase data on your drawing, so golems that comes out will be strong. Haruna : (grining)I see...maybe I can beat Ku- chan one day... Ku Fei : (grining)When you increase your abilities, mine will increase also. So, now way, aru. Takusa : Now, now...Negi, you know that you're leader. It means you'll make big decison. You know your role? Negi : Yes. Even though I got some thinkers in this team, decision must be made by myself. Takusa : Then, let me give you a situation. Let's say your team were surrounded by enemies in Magic World. There's a leader within them, but you don't know which. Who will you send out first? Negi : Let's see...how about Setsuna-san? Takusa : Wrong! You must send out Ku-san first. Negi : Why Master Ku? Takusa : Ku-san specialty is to fight surrounded enemies, which what she do everyday before going to school, right? Ku-Fei : You're right about that, aru. Takusa : If situation gets to complicated, send out Kaede-san so you can see where enemy leader is. Kaede-san shadow technique should help you a lot. Kaede : You're right, but why not send Setsuna-dono first? Takusa : Setsuna-sama must protect your healer, Konoka-san until you found enemy leader. Aside of that, she can protect other people while Haruna-san doing her sketching for protection. Setsuna : I see... Takusa : Okay, now you found the enemy leader. What's your next move? Negi : Hmm...attack recklessly will result problems...but I think Setsuna-san should be able to attack the leader. Takusa : Reason? Negi : To learn enemy weakness. Aside of that, Haruna-san should done with her sketching, and able to protect others. Takusa : That's your only next move? Negi : What do you mean, Takusa-san? Takusa : You have the most reliable encyclopedia with Yue-san. Why not use it? As long as your enemy related to Magic World, you should find some info in there. Nodoka : If Yue-ue got enemy's name, I should be able to read enemy's mind using Darium Ejus. Takusa : Good thinking, Nodoka-san. By the way, if Ku-san and Kaede-san are injured, switch them with Kotaro-kun and Chachamaru-san. Chachamaru-san should had no problem since she already collect enemy's data from Sekai Zue. Asuna : I think I should be attacker as well, since I got Complete Magic Canceller and Hama no Tsurugi. Takusa : Yeah, but you can't attack enemy's leader. Asuna : Why? Takusa : Even Complete Magic Canceller had its weakness, especially when you're up against non-magic user. So, you should change role with Kotaro-kun and attack the surrounding enemies. Kotaro : What shall I do then? Negi : If all gone according to plan, Kotaro-kun should be my support when attacking enemy's leader. Setsuna-san can help too if she don't suffer much injuries. Even so, one of attackers must be around Konoka-san and the others at all cost, since golems from 'Rakukaki Teikoku' can only last for certain amount of time. Takusa : (smiling)Now, you're thinking like a leader! Negi : Even so, the strategy is varies within enemies, right? Takusa : That's why you have friends around you. Don't afraid to ask them opinions, since they are only one you can only rely on in Magic World. Yue : (thinking)I been wondering about this... Takusa : Hmm? Yue : How come you can make a good strategy when you are barely know about us? Takusa : Chachamaru-san here has tons of info about all of you. Chachamaru : I already gather info about the team during Mahora Festival and Takusa-sama ask about this earlier. Yue : You mean you just make a strategy with what you heard? Takusa : I know what you're trying to say ; "We can't trust others until we see it ourselves", right? Yue : Yeah, sort off... Takusa : Then, listen. Chachamaru-san can't lie, since her AI ability prevents her to do that. Even if she can, you can only rely on what info you got and doing a judgment for yourself. That's the rules of war. Kamo : Then, what judgment are you talking about? Takusa : Ah, Kamo-kun. You seems to be silent before. Kamo : Well, just thinking about few things... Takusa : What I mean is your logical sense. Back to situation I give you, I don't send Setsuna-sama in battle first because she can't fight if she kept worrying about Konoka-san. That's why she stays until Haruna-san able to pull out her golems. Setsuna : Protecting Ojou-sama will be my priority. So, I can't concentrate on battle unless Ojou-sama has decent protection while I'm charging to frontline. Takusa : They're other factors that need to be take as well, but you need to think up yourself since you're the leader, Negi-kun. Negi : Understood. Takusa is thinking again. He watching Yue as she having a drink which she usually does. A lot of empty cans pile up beside her. Takusa : Yue-san seems to be drinking alot... Yue : I kind of love it, so... Takusa : Can you give me one of those empty cans? Yue : Sure(throwing). Takusa : (catch)This can be your target practice. Yue : We can use other things, but why you choose a can? Takusa : A normal Sagitta Magica arrow should have a strength of a fighters punch. So, you can do this as a accurancy practice. Takusa throws the can up. He snaps his finger and gather 100 Arrows of Ice within seconds. Before the can falls to the ground, Takusa shoot the arrows one by one so that can stay up in mid air. As all the arrows used up, that can has become a small piece of metal with a size of a cherry fruit. Takusa : (catch) Your aim here is to see how small you can alter this can. Konoka : Takusa-kun, why throw the can in mid-air? Takusa : There's no enemy waiting for being attack. So, assume that the can is a moving target. Nodoka : It's a good practice, but Yue-ue, Konoka and I can't gather a lot of arrows in one time, since we are beginners. Takusa : Then, you three can practice with one target. It will be more effective this way. Those three start their practice as they already had a good rest. Takusa : Negi-kun, you don't want to join them? Negi : Well, I already learn these things on Magic School... Takusa : I see. Then, I teach something else for experienced fighters left here. Do you know what is 'breaking point'? Ku-Fei : It's the weak points of the body, where attacking these points will weakened enemy, aru. Takusa : Just to be expected from Ku-san. Did you already master it? Ku Fei : It's crucial in Kenpo, aru. Takusa : How about other then body? Ku Fei : What do you mean? Kaede : All other things had its breaking point, degozaru. Takusa : I guess Kaede-san should master it already, since Ninja Art teaches how to eliminate enemies quickly. Kaede : (smiling)You're right, degozaru. Takusa : Then, Kaede-san can teach Ku-san the advance of this technique since Ku-san already has the basics. Kaede : I get it, Takusa-kun.(looking at Ku-Fei)Let's go, degozaru. Ku-Fei : Right away, aru. Both of them jumping off the ledge and moving inside the forest. Takusa : Now then(looking at Setsuna), Setsuna-sama should be the one with most experience in the team. Your skill of Shinmeiryuu should already at the peak, right? Setsuna : (blush)Don't talk like that, I'm still lack of experience... Takusa : Why don't you explore the usage of your artifact? I heard that you're rarely use it... Setsuna : Since I already have my sword skill, I don't use it unless meeting a tough opponent. Takusa : Sica Shishikushiro consist 16 small sword with mind of its own. You can variable it to many use if you practice more. Setsuna : I understand. I will advanced my training with my artifact. Takusa : As for Asuna-san, you're learning fencing skills from Setsuna-sama. I guess you just follow your training with Setsuna-sama. Asuna : That's it? Takusa : Another thing you can focus is kept training on your Kanka skill. If you think that's not enough, try to control your magic-cancelling ability. If you can done all that, you should be a valuable asset for the team. Asuna : Understood. Setsuna and Asuna jumps down, following Kaede and Ku-Fei. Haruna : Wait, you don't have a tip for me yet. Takusa : (thinking) Your practice will be the easiest. You just need more reading aside of draws quicker. Haruna : I can practice on quick drawing, but why more reading? Takusa : To push your imagination boundries. Even though golems from "Rakukaki Teikoku" stays for short amount of time, you can draw much stronger golems, like the giant robots on Mahora Festival. Haruna : (shiver)I can call out big mecha like that? Takusa : Of course, you need more data on your sketching. You might want to borrow Sekai Zue from Yue-san, so you can see how strong monster in Magic World can be. Haruna : (Running)I'm going!!!! Takusa : (sweat)She's fast... Negi : (smiling)That's Haruna-san for you... Takusa : Ah, you three seems to be quiet again... Kotaro : Don't bother about that. I'm more interested with what you want to teach us. Takusa : About the 'breaking point', you still not master it, right? Negi : Even Master Ku didn't master it, how can I do that? Takusa : Well, let me teach you then. Kotaro-kun want to learn it too? Kotaro : It's not hurt to add more battle skills. Kamo : Then, let's get to practice. Takusa : Right. (looking around)Let's go to the rocky mountains over there. Negi : Okay. Negi and Kotaro is going ahead, as Takusa's looking at Evan. Takusa : You're not going, Evan-chan? Evan : I pass. I want to get some rest now. Takusa jumps out the ledge. Chachamaru : Are you okay with this, Master? I remember that you get angry when Colonel-san want to be Negi-sensei's master... Evan : Takusa-sama is more knowledgeable then I am. Besides, he know his limits... Chachamaru : Limits? ; Next On Chapter 7 : Class 3-A is going to beach!!! And Takusa making confession!!! |
