Chapter 4: Negi's Memories (Part II)

"Hero?" In an ancient town, snowflakes flutter, and in the alley, a young woman leads a child, who is the young Negi and her sister Nejane.

Is this the Negi when he was a kid? It's so cute! Everybody's first thought when they see little Negi.

"No, Grandpa Stan said, he's a thug!" said little Negi disdainfully, making Nejane embarrassed for a while, saying that his father was a thug?

"Hehe, how can it be, my father is a hero who saved the world, you have to believe him!" Nejane tried her best to reverse Negi's impression of Najib.

"Cut, I only believe in the facts!" Little Negi pretended to be a deep look: "Anything that emerges is not necessarily the truth, maybe he did save the world, but his character must be bad, just like Grandpa Stan said, he is a bad boy!"

Uh, was Negi so smart when he was a kid, and what was he doing at this time? Playing with mud, right?

"Negi, you're pretending to be a wise man again!" A little girl about the same age as Negi suddenly appeared, clasped her hands on her chest, and looked at Negi unhappily: "It's obviously a little bit, what kind of adult is it!" But he didn't know that he was also learning from Negi, pretending to be old-fashioned.

"Aniah!" Negiha paused and spread his hands helplessly: "This is the wisdom of your mortals!"

Everyone looked at Negi's lonely expression, and only Ania had fire in her eyes: "Bastard Negi, what are you talking about? Do you want to fight?"

"Fight?" Negi looked at Ania with disdain: "You're still early! My opponents are not your peers, but those who stand at the top, look, no matter how good they are, even if it is my father, I will one day trample them all under my feet!"

Although Negi is very small at the moment, he is full of ambition and pride. "I won't tell you, I'm going to find Grandpa Stan and them!"

"Hmph, Negi likes to talk big!" "yes, why didn't Ania hit Negi?" "I...... How can I ...... I really don't know why Negi likes to be with those uncles so much?" Neygane didn't point out that Ania changed the subject, and looked at Negi demurely. "Negi, I just hope you can live a happy life!"

"Uncles, it's time to fight!" kicked open the door of the coffee shop, and little Negi broke in with a grin.

"Haha, little Negi is here again!" "Is the little genius looking for a beating again?" "How do you say that?" the genius is still very strong, at least he can take two moves!" "Haha......"

A burst of laughter made Xiao Neji's face turn red and black, and finally his face turned blue: "Not this time, I have already learned the Wind Barrier and the Arrow of Light!"

"Hmph, what if you learn it, like your father, you know how to be naughty!" said an old mage, drunkenly in his hand.

"Grandpa Stan!" little Negi rushed over and said, "I won't! I'm completely different from him, Grandpa Stan, you can teach me some more magic!"

"No, these two are already making an exception, so I won't teach you!" the old mage refused.

"What an exception? Didn't you lose a bet to me?" muttered little Negi, not so loud that everyone could hear it, and burst into laughter again.

"Grandpa Stan Stein, Negie caused you trouble while I was away!" said Negjane, who walked in, and thanked the old mage.

"No need, the little guy is still very sensible, much better than Najib's!"

Is this Negi when he was a child? How is it completely different from now? It was a question in everyone's minds, but they knew there would be an answer to the answer.

And what was Negi thinking at the moment? He was already in a mood of nostalgia, things that he wouldn't normally touch. Looking at his former self, he didn't know what mood he was in, and he didn't know whether to be proud that he had integrated into this identity well, or to smile bitterly at his reduced IQ, like a child.

Another day, next to a carriage, little Negne said goodbye to Nejane, she was going to study at the Academy of Magic, Nejane sadly told Neggy: "Negi, my sister is leaving again, you have to take good care of yourself!"

"Well, don't worry, I'm not a two- or three-year-old child, I can take care of myself!"

Hearing Negi's words, Negjane smiled dumbly, knowing that Negi was comforting herself, and she didn't say anything anymore, Negi was indeed able to take care of herself.

Having said that, however, looking at the carriage in the distance, a trace of loneliness still flashed in Xiao Negi's eyes, and he quickly sorted out his mood and cheered himself up: "It's okay, the current separation is for a better reunion in the future!"

"Really, Grandpa Stan said that he wouldn't teach me magic anymore, only these two magics, how boring!"

Suddenly, little Negi straightened up, "Although I only have these two magics, I can make them more powerful, and I'm idle anyway!"

Thinking of the excitement, Negi stood up and spun back and forth, thinking, "What to do, how to increase the power, and how to do it?"

The days passed uneventfully in Negi's non-stop research, until one day...... Negi stopped after finishing today's experiment, and finally had some results during this time, although it was not very big, but he was still very satisfied, and he was still young.

"Hehe, my sister is coming back again today!I'm going to pick her up, otherwise I'll be in a hurry if she can't find her!" With a happy mood, Negi walked on the way home, and every girl who watched was also infected by him, and her mood became relaxed, but ......

Red, all red, like blood, the whole village burned in the fire, smoky, scorching heat, and the villagers were reduced to stone statues, lifelike!

"Hehe, really, it seems that I am still dreaming! Really, my sister is coming back today, why am I still lazy and sleeping! Moreover, this dream will definitely hit me if the uncles know it! I have to wake up quickly!" Little Negi laughed dryly, but he didn't dare to pinch himself, confirming that it was in a dream, and he was afraid to ......

Tears flowed silently from his face, clenching his fists, holding back the fear, anger and grief in his heart, "What the hell is going on?" and yelled angrily, "There must be a limit to joking!

Slowly knelt down, supported the ground with both hands, grabbed the dry grass on the ground, and tears kept falling, "By the way, sister! I can't do this, sister's safety is the most important thing......

Negi wiped away her tears and went to find her sister Negga, but her sister didn't find it, but she was found by a huge monster, with indifferent eyes and a huge body, looking at Little Negi, she mercilessly raised her mountain-like fist and blasted towards Little Negi.

The girls who saw this scene were all worried about Negi, although they knew that it was okay, but when they saw Negi in danger, they couldn't help but worry about him, and they felt sorry for him, because at this moment, little Negi's eyes were full of fear that could not be concealed.

At the critical moment, the hero appeared, one hand blocked the huge fist, and a young man in a mage robe, with his head down, silently chanted a spell, and then, a thunderbolt slashed over, splitting the monster in half.

Facing Negi, neither of them spoke, and at this time, the other demons and monsters also noticed this, and rushed over one by one, and the man looked back at those monsters and demons, and faced them without fear, while falling to the ground and slaughtering those demons.

Shocked, everyone was shocked by the strength of the person who came, little Negi looked at him blankly, and then, without stopping, continued to look for his sister, he knew that he could deal with all the demons alone.

Not long after, Xiao Negi, who didn't find his sister, was targeted by a demon again, the demon opened his mouth, and the magic condensed in his mouth, Xiao Neji turned around and ran without hesitation, although he thought about resisting, but it was useless at all.

The demon mercilessly unleashed the magic condensed in his mouth, and little Negi dodged away in embarrassment.

But at this time, the second attack has arrived, and at the critical moment, Sister Nejane and Grandpa Stan stood in front of Negi, and Grandpa Stan recited a spell and sealed the demon with a sealing bottle, but the bodies of the two began to petrify.

Grandpa Stan explained some things, and he was completely petrified into a stone statue, and Nejane was about to become a stone statue completely, and little Negyan watched in pain as Nejane was petrified but could not do anything, and suddenly thought of that man, and stood up and was about to beg that person to save his sister, but when he turned around, the person was standing in front of him.

"Please, please, save my sister!" little Negi immediately knelt down and pleaded with him.

"You're Negi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" the man looked at little Negi in silence and said, "Get up!" Squatting down and untying Negjan's petrification, "I'm sorry, I can't do anything about other people's petrification!"

"Thank you! It's already good!" Seeing that her sister was okay, Negi wiped away her tears and thanked the man.

"This is for you, this is my relic!" The man suddenly handed the staff in his hand to Negi, and said something that surprised him: "Although I am no longer qualified to say this, I must live happily!"

"You... You're ...... It's justโ€”" Little Negi struggled to hold his staff and looked at him in amazement, the legendary hero, the man of a thousand spells, Naji Springfield.

"Time is not enough, goodbye, live well!" Slowly flying, Naji waved his hand, and little Neji looked at him in a daze, and tears flowed down again.

Although I haven't seen him, I have been listening to his deeds since I was a child, and although I disdain it in my mouth, I also have a trace of admiration for this father I have never met in my heart, especially when I see him in this situation, I am even more excited. But when I first saw it, I wanted to separate, and I couldn't help chasing Najib who was far away, until I couldn't see it anymore: "Dad!"

From this day on, Negi was like a different person, and he could no longer see the unbridled happiness he once had, and only when he faced his sister and Ania would he have a smile.

Every day he keeps devoting himself to cultivation and improving his strength, it's like he is crazy, he never stops, and he doesn't dare to stop. From the initial long-distance running, push-ups, dumbbells, stump punching...... Later, the load shifted from land to rivers and lakes to waterfalls...... He tried everything he could to cultivate.

When he was tired and rested, he studied magic, read magic books frantically, and enriched his magic knowledge.

Seeing Negi's tired appearance every day, the girls' hearts were filled with sadness, not to mention her sister Neghane, but she couldn't persuade Negi. Only the girls know that in front of that burned village, Negi's madness and heartbreak, know his determination!

The girls thought that this was how Negi had lived until two years ago......

"What? You're going to the wizarding world? No, absolutely not!" "During the meal, hearing Negi suddenly say this, Nejane was extremely excited, reacted violently, retorted loudly, and held her head: "No, I'm going to faint!"

"Sister, please promise me!" Negi lowered his head, not daring to look at his sister, he knew that his decision was selfish, but he had to do it.

"No, I will never agree!" Nejane replied very resolutely: "It's just that you are crazy about cultivation, there is no danger to your life, and now you are suddenly going to the dangerous magic world, do you know that if you are not careful, you will die!

"Sister......
