Mahora Academy, founded in the mid-Meiji era, is a city-type academy with a direct progression system from elementary school to university, covering everything. The entire academy's area is comparable to a medium-sized city.
Today was the first week of the new semester. Although it was early morning, there were less than ten minutes left until being late. A large number of students were rushing towards the classroom area. This scene, which would be considered a spectacle to the outside world, was just an everyday occurrence at Mahora Academy.
However, as the crowds surged and ran quickly towards the classroom building, three people were left in the empty space they had passed: two girls and a child who looked no older than ten.
"What?! Heart... broken... You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?!" A girl with two-colored eyes, orange-red twin tails tied with bells, shouted at the boy with an angry expression. But it wasn't her fault; after all, if a stranger suddenly came up to you and told you that you would have a broken heart, anyone would be annoyed, right? "Um, because there really is a sign of a broken heart on your face. I just heard you discussing fortune-telling, so..." Whether it was because he was too cunning or too naive, this boy seemed to be the type who was very good at courting disaster. He didn't notice that the girl's emotions were about to completely spiral out of control. He still smiled, and as usual, spoke with a friendly demeanor. To make the other party believe him, he kept trying to persuade her, stating that the fortune-telling conclusions derived from Western astrology and Eastern astromancy were very credible.
"You, you, you're still talking! I hate brats the most!" The girl was completely furious by now. Her agitated emotions made her unable to stop her tears. Although she didn't know how credible the other person's words were, having someone suddenly appear in front of you and tell you that you have a sign of a broken heart would make anyone feel uneasy, right? How could you say such a thing to a girl?
"Alright, alright, Asuna, he's still a child, probably an elementary school student. Why are you so angry? He's still a child, so his words might be a bit direct." The other girl beside her, with long black hair, smiled gently. She felt particularly happy to witness such an interesting scene so early in the morning.
"Take back what you just said!" The twin-tailed girl grabbed the boy's head with one hand, lifting him up as if she were holding a basketball. One couldn't help but marvel at the girl's immense strength; the boy weighed at least several tens of kilograms, yet she could lift him so easily. From her tear-filled eyes, slightly red face, and body trembling with anger, it was clear that she was truly furious. She probably wished she could tear the child in front of her into two halves to vent her anger.
"Little brother, what are you doing here? You know this is the girls' section, located deepest within Mahora Academy City. The elementary school is at the previous stop." The black-haired girl smiled gently, kindly telling the boy. Although she really wanted to watch this interesting scene a bit longer, now was clearly not the time to do so.
"Konoka is right, a brat like you shouldn't be in a place like this, understand?" The twin-tailed girl grabbed the boy by his collar and lifted him up, shouting at him in a very annoyed tone. The boy, completely unaware that his own actions had caused the current situation, silently labeled the girl in front of him as 'violent' in his heart.
'Oh my! This girl is really rough! I heard girls in Neon are supposed to be very kind and gentle. Why did I have to meet a girl like this?'
"Long time no see, Negi." At this moment, a short-haired middle-aged man with stubble poked his head out of a second-floor window of the nearby classroom building and greeted the boy with a smile.
"Good morning, Teacher Takahata!" The twin-tailed girl immediately put the boy down, a blush on her face as she politely greeted the uncle. Anyone with eyes could tell she had a crush on this uncle teacher. But how to put it… shouldn't ordinary girls like handsome guys? Why did she fall for this somewhat older man? Did she like older men?
"Good morning!" Konoe Konoka, on the other hand, greeted Takahata with her usual calm smile.
"Ryuudou, long time no see!" The boy named Negi happily waved at Ryuudou, startling the two girls beside him.
"Welcome to Mahora Academy. It's a great place, Teacher Negi!" Ryuudou smiled as he welcomed the boy who was about to become his colleague.
"Huh?!" The two girls exclaimed. Indeed, no one could believe that a child who looked about ten years old would be a middle school teacher.
"Yes, I am Negi Springfield, and I will be teaching English at your school." Negi spoke to the two girls beside him in a very polite manner. However… "Wait, wait a minute! Why is a brat like you a teacher?!" The twin-tailed girl was very agitated and made to pounce, but her friend beside her smiled and held her back.
