Chapter 14: The Legend of the World Tree
The school park at night should be peaceful and peaceful, but now it is filled with tinkling sounds, and there are sporadic lights dotted in the classrooms everywhere.
In the third-year Class A classroom, "Be careful of the sound of the hammer, don't make a sound." "What are you kidding, what do you think this is doing?" "Over there, hurry up and stop making trouble." "I feel so excited to sneak into the school at night!" "I'm so sleepy." Biting a small flashlight in his mouth, a tic-tac-toe appeared on Qianyu's forehead.
"Well, I'm here to help you after all!" sighed, Negi, who had expected it for a long time.
"Teacher Negi, I'm really sorry to let you accompany us. Ayaka clasped her hands together and clenched her grateful
"Nitta is coming. "The classmates in the next class came to report the news, at this time, they should join forces to fight against Xintian and create a great cause together!
"Okay, thanks. Everyone, hurry up and hide, Nitta is coming. Kana hurriedly conveyed the news.
The door was opened by Nitta, the flashlight shone everywhere inside, everyone found an object to hide their figures, Negi and Kazuka were together, and they kept a little distance just now, but they were afraid of being illuminated, so they squeezed Negi inside, and as a result, the two looked at each other, zero distance contact, and each other could feel each other's breathing.
Peng, Kazuka's face turned red instantly, Negi signaled his apology with his eyes, and when Xintian left, he pulled away a little, "I'm sorry, it was an emergency just now." "It's okay!" Kazuka covered her mouth with her hand, her heart still pounding, for her, this was definitely an unexpected joy.
"And ...... How can you take the opportunity to let such a happy and shy thing happen...... I'm going to swap with you!" Ayaka, whose eyes had been on Negi's body all the time, was inexplicably excited, and pointed at Kazuka tremblingly, and a wave of jealousy arose.
"Wow!" "Squad leader, stop making trouble, be quiet! Don't recruit Xintian over!" "Get to work!"
"Great!" "It's finally done!" "Well, the atmosphere has been made!" "Kana and the others cheered as they looked at the finished gate, and it looked really atmospheric.
"However, it's not finished yet, it's just the entrance that's done!" Xiying poured cold water on her, and her cold tone made the girls extremely disappointed, and they felt powerless, "Don't mention it!"
"All in all, this should be done in time!" "But tonight we have to stay up late and work overtime!" "Come on, we must not lose to the haunted house of Class F and Class S!" "Great, we should be able to participate in the Eve Festival!"
Smiling at the energetic girls in front of him, Negi felt an inexplicable satisfaction and clapped his palms, "Okay, guys, keep up the good work tonight! Come on, you are the best!" "Oye!"
Because it was dawn, not everyone was idle, and most of them had to help the club, so they separated.
The four of them ran together on the road of the school park.,It's like coming to a fantasy world.,There's something inexplicable everywhere.,Even the spaceship has it.。
"It's really the day before the Mafan Festival... There's a lot of strange stuff!" said Instant in admiration.
"Indeed!" Negi was very surprised when he saw such a scene for the first time, this is the most attractive thing about the campus in another world, in the previous life, as long as people who like comics envy this kind of life, after all, the real campus life is too boring!
"Ah...... Negi-sensei!" Shizuna-sensei suddenly spotted Negi, stopped him, and said hello with a smile.
"Shizuna-sensei, hello!" Negi replied politely.
"The headmaster is looking for you!
"Yes, I know, I'll go to the principal's office right away!"
"No, the headmaster doesn't want you to go to the headmaster's office, but to the square in front of the World Tree. Moreover, Sakurasaki-san also went with her. ”
"Huh?" Negi raised his eyebrows, feeling that things might not be easy, and if he went in an instant, it would be the only thing. "Okay! I'm sorry for you, Shizuna-sensei!"
"Then let's go first!" "Negi, Xiaosha, see you later!"
"Well, I'll go find you when I'm done!"
"Strange,What is the school director looking for us at this time?" asked Negi in confusion.
"Only maybe it's about magic or something, and we'll know then!"
The two came to the square, but were surprised to find that the usually lively square was now a little deserted.
"Huh, that's weird!" "It's nothing, it's supposed to be a blocking magic deliberately released to keep people from disturbing!"
"Oh, Negi!" Radish Head spotted Negi first, "We're waiting for you!" Next to him were some magic teachers or students, and Kotaro was among them.
Seeing Negi arrive, everyone focused on him, and they all knew Negi's identity, the hero's son, so they paid special attention to it.
"Headmaster, is there anything special about calling these people here?" Negi's face was a little solemn.
"Sure enough, I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Radish Head was not surprised at all by Negi, and these people knew that he already knew about these things, "I have gathered you here today because I hope to solve a problem with the help of your questions!"
"Is there an enemy?" Kotaro immediately became enthusiastic when he heard the question.
"No...... Things are a little different!" Carrot Head vetoed Kotaro's speculation, "This incident can only be regarded as a trouble, but it is also very serious! Have you ever heard of the legend of the World Tree?"
"Hehe, I've heard this legend mentioned many times by the girls in my class in the past few days, what's the matter?" Thinking of those girls, Negi couldn't help but smile.
"I've heard of it, it's spread everywhere, but how can it be? It's just a legend!" Kotaro said disdainfully, and Negi didn't think so.
"Actually, it's pretty much it!"
"Huh?" they were all stunned when they heard the headmaster say this.
"The wish that people have made for the World Tree will really come true, but that happens only once every 22 years. The principal said solemnly. "So what about ......"
"I hope that during the school anniversary... Especially after the evening of the last day, it is important to prevent students from coming here to practice the Legend of the World Tree... That is, to stop their confession. ”
"What?, will it really grant a wish?" "That's... Isn't that just a legend?" The three of them were all surprised, and even felt ridiculous, if the other party was not the principal, then it is estimated that they would definitely treat each other as a psychopath.
"Hehehehehe! This big tree that was made the World Tree by the students... In fact, the official name is "Shenmu Peach", and this tree has powerful magical powers. In other words, it is a "magic tree". The principal stretched out his finger and slowly spread knowledge to them.
"The tree has a 22-year cycle, and every 22 years the tree's magic reaches its peak and is released to the outside of the tree. The six surrounding locations centered on the World Tree will become powerful magical gathering points, and this square is one of them. ”
"And the huge magic power will have an effect on people's hearts, that is to say, although if you want to conquer the world, want to get 10 billion or want to get a girl's **, this kind of material ** that can be realized instantly cannot be realized, but the realization rate of love confession will be as high as 120%, and the power can be said to have reached the curse level!"
"I see, I see!" With a deep exhalation, Negi understood the reason why the headmaster was so serious, and in short, it was also blaspheming people's souls, and it must be stopped.
"This phenomenon was supposed to happen next year, but it happened a year earlier because of the abnormal climate. So, I called you here. ”
Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately expressed their opinions, in fact, no one would believe this kind of thing, everyone just regarded this as a beautiful sustenance, but it was just a mistake, it can really be done!
"That's the way it is. The most dangerous day is the last day of the school celebration, and now there are some repercussions, and while I am sorry for the students, I still hope that you will prevent the students from confessing in these six places. ”
"Someone was watching us. A girl with a broom reminded her that she should be a magician who is good at perception.
"What?"
Smoking a cigarette with eyes, the cool uncle dressed as a villain snapped his fingers, and a wind blade flew towards a reconnaissance machine in the air, splitting it in half.
"I didn't feel the power of magic, it should be a machine! It should be a ghost made by a student, it's amazing, I can actually pass through the magic of blocking people, and the strength of the students of this academy should not be underestimated!"
The magic is very skillful, although the strength is not very strong, but it is not bad to be able to perform magic instantly! Negi commented silently in his heart.
"I'm going to chase the culprit. Another magic student asked the head of the school for instructions.
"You don't have to chase too deeply, there aren't many students who can do this kind of thing. The headmaster was calm, and seemed to have a rough idea of who it was.
On the roof of a certain building, the two people hiding in their clothes were shocked, "Oops! The reconnaissance plane was destroyed, and we were discovered!" "Awesome, I thought there was no problem with the magician's invisibility!" "Oops! Someone is chasing after me!" "Really? What should I do now?" "Ye Kase, you use optical camouflage to hide here! I'll be a decoy!" If Negi was here, I guess it would be a headache, and one of them turned out to be his students.
"Alright, don't think it's just a confession! This is a big question for the students' youth! But be careful when using magic! Please!" The headmaster reiterated again, "Let's go on patrol according to the schedule I just mentioned!
"Oh! suddenly there are more people!" "Because the magic has been lifted!"
"Negi!" the headmaster suddenly called out to Negi.
"What's the matter?"
"Actually,I'm most worried about you.,Because you're very popular among the girls in the school park.,So,I don't care about the rest of the time.,But in the meantime,,I hope you won't be confessed by the students!" said the principal worriedly, looking so serious, obviously not at ease with Negi.
"Uh!" Neji Khan, snorting, "I'll try my best!haha!" This seems to be very embarrassing, although it is an affirmation of his personality.
Haha, it's very difficult for the eldest brother not to confess, and at present, the two little girls who asked him to visit the school celebration definitely have this idea. Camo looked at Negi's embarrassed smile and couldn't help but gloat in his heart.
"Now, Negi, can I ask you for something!" Walking in the lively campus, Kotaro looked at Negi flatteringly.
"What?" asked Negi, confused, if he could have something to ask for himself?
"That, that is, I heard that you live alone in a wooden villa, but you can't let me live in it too, I really don't want to live in Chizuru-san anymore, I can't stand it!" Kotaro asked Negi with a bitter face.
"Huh?" Haha, it seems that Chizuru has been spoiled, but can this matter be agreed? Negi thought about the feasibility, thinking that Chizuru was holding the green onion, smiling and blackening, he suddenly shuddered, and quickly shook his hand, "No, no, no, Chizuru has to kill me if you want to know!"
"Then can you bear to see me in such a dire straits?" Kotaro pointed angrily at Negi.
"This, in fact, your errand is envied by many people, so why bother?" Negi tried hard to persuade Kotaro for the sake of his own life.
"That's because they don't understand what I'm going through. Kotaro said sadly, thinking that he was treated as a child by Chizuru-san every day, which was a painful thing for him, a precocious teenager who longed for independence.
"As long as you can keep me from being blamed by Chizuru, then you can live as you like!" Negi directly said his bottom line, anyway, there is not much more than one person for him, and no less person is not a lot.
"Hey, you promised?"
"Don't ignore my conditions!" Negi warned Kotaro.
"Hey, it's easy!"
Looking at Kotaro's confident appearance, Negi was curious about what his method was that made him so confident.
