Chapter 182 - Negi Hometown 4

"Eeeeh you want to go to Mundus Magicus!" Nekane was shocked to death when she heard that her cousin Negi whom she loved like a lover was going to the wizarding world. To the point that her body became weak and she almost fainted. "Negi why would you want to go to such a dangerous place!"

"I'm sorry Nekane-Onee-chan, but I have to go to Mundus Magicus," Negi put on a very serious face when he said that word, to show Nekane that he really seriously wanted to go to Mundus Magicus.

Because Negi realizes that Nekane is very overprotective of him and only by making a determination and putting on a super serious face in front of Nekane is the only way that he can get Nekane's blessing and permission to go to the magic world. "To found a clue where father is."

Nekane's face looked shocked when she heard Negi's words, 6 years ago when there was an attack from the demon in the village where Negi was born. Nekane realizes that she and Negi were saved by someone, and Nekane suspects that it was Nagi who saved them. Because Nekane could faintly hear Nagi's voice talking to Negi when she was in a semi-conscious state.

"So you finally intend to find Nagi-san, huh Negi," Nekane said with a face filled with sadness. "But you and your friends are still minors aren't you? Without an adult accompanying you you will not be allowed to pass through the gate that will lead you to Mundus magicus."

"Ah, about that it's not a problem," Shirou said who was sitting next to Rin. "Because we have obtained special permission from the Head of the Merdiana Magic School."

"Yes, the headmaster gave it to me earlier when we were walking around the magic school," Rin said as she took out the special letter that the Merdiana magic school principal had given to her. "He even said that he left Negi to both of us because he said even though Negi is smart and already quite strong, Negi is still inexperienced, stubborn to the level he ready to death to prove that something that he think is right actually one hundred percent wrong and he also too easy to trust others people."

Rin's words really stabbed into Negi's heart and mind, all the things Rin said made Negi's heart ache. Because all the things that Rin said were bad things in him that he couldn't get rid of at all.

The next day in a dungeon deep below the Merdiana magic school, there were countless stone statues. The stone statues are victims of petrification that coming from the village where Negi was born. All of the stone statues were specially brought from Negi's village so that none of them would be damaged by weather or other unwanted things.

And at this time, Negi, Rin, Shirou, Anya, Konoka, Setsuna and Asuna along with Nekane and the Headmaster of the Merdiana Magic School were in the room looking at the people from the village where Negi was born who became stone statues. Negi sees a stone statue which is a person he knows very well and that person is Stan, the one who saved him from Herman's petrification.

"Grandpa Stan," Negi said as he approached Stan's statue. ."It's me Negi, it's been six years since then, and it's been six years since grandfather became a stone statue. If at that time grandfather Stan and Nekane-Onee-chan had not helped me, I would have become a stone statue in this place by now along with the other villagers, so I am truly grateful for the sacrifices you made six years ago, Grandpa Stan."

"Wow, I didn't think that the people from Negi village who became stone statues were here," Konoka said who was surprised by the stone statues in the basement.

"There are also hundreds of them," Asuna said. "It must have taken a very long time to transport all these stone statues to this place."

"This is really surprising," Setsuna said with a shocked look on her face. "This is the first time for me to see so many victims of petrification in the same place."

"Negi I bring you to this place, in the hope that you can stop looking back and move on to the future," the headmaster said. "Don't add any more burden to your little shouldwf, forget what's behind and move forward."

"I understand grandpa," Negi said with a smile. "I'll forget what's behind me and keep moving forward, at least now I'm now more smarter and more mature in attitude so I understand what grandpa's words mean."

"Your attitude is still like five yeass old kid Negi!" Shouted Anya who disagreed with her boyfriend's words. "Your stubbornness and difficulty listening to other people's advice hasn't changed at all!"

"Anya-chan isn't good at yelling at Negi like that," Asuna said. "Moreover, Negi is your lover, isn't it?"

"It's precisely because I'm Negi's lover that I why reminded him so he can change his ugly nature, Asuna-san," Anya said as she walked closer to one of the stone statues. "Because if he always acts like that, one day he'll be in big trouble in the future."

Negi who became depressed then squatted in the corner of the room because of Anya's words, Nekane had to squat down to comfort Negi who was depressed. While Anya wiped the statue of the woman in front of her very slowly and carefully without caring about her depressed boyfriend as if Negi was not around at all.

"Oops, Negi's getting depressed," Konoka said with sweat dripping from her cheeks which indicated that she felt sorry for Negi. "Anya-chan's your words just now were really mean."

"Well, Negi-Sensei is a stubborn ten year old kid anyway," Setsuna said with the same reaction as Konoka. "But luckily Negi-Sensei still obeys Shirou-Sama and Anya-chan."

"Headmaster why is Anya-san wiping the statue of that woman in such detail and carefully?" Asked Shirou. "Is that female statue is someone who very important to Anya-san?"

"The statue is Anya's mother," Replied the principal with a sad face. "And during Anya's schooling here she comes every day to clean her mother's statue so it doesn't get dirty."

"No wonder Anya-chan cleaned the statue of the woman in great detail," Rin said who finally understood why Anya cleaned the statue so carefully.

"Yeah, the curse-breaking team from this magic school has tried their best to find a way to turn the stone statues back into humans," The headmaster said. "Unfortunately Herman's petrification curse is so strong that any attempt by the curse extermination team is to no avail. It takes magic equal to or greater than that of the curse for the petrification to be removed."

Shirou and Rin know how troublesome curse magic like petrification can be, because they've seen the same magic in Kyoto, Negi's dream and in Mahora. To heal people affected by petrification it takes very strong anti-curse magic, Noble Phantasm that can neutralize magic like Rule Breaker or special potions with effects that can neutralize curses like Elixir.

"Mr. Headmaster why don't you use Elixir to neutralize the curses of the people from Negi's village?" Asked Rin. "Elixir class potions can be used to restore their state to the original state, can't they?"

"Elixir can indeed turn them all back into humans," Rplied the Headmaster."But Elixir is very expensive, and the number of people who can make it is also very rare so it's impossible for us to get a large amount of Elixir, because besides being expensive, that potions are very difficult to make."

"Well, Elixir is indeed the highest state of healing potion, after all," Shirou said with a sigh. "But I was able to make it in huge numbers using Denial of Nothingness."

"Ah, I forgot that you can make that potion using Denial of Nothingness," Rin said as she patted her left palm with her right fist. "And the level of the Elixir you make is much higher than the normal Elixir, what's more thanks to the Elixir you made the people in the Kansai magic association able to turn back into humans."

"Y-You can make large amounts of Elixir using magic that only exists in the legend of the Denial of Nothingness!" the headmaster said who was shocked by the important thing he had just heard. "I-Is what you said real?"

"Well, that's true," Rin said as she nodded her head. "Shirou has mastered the first true magic that can be used to create anything other than living things from the void of Denial of Nothingness. And Elixir is only one of the things he can make."

"Then how many Elixir can you make in twenty-four hours?" Asked the headmaster excitedly after learning that Shirou could solve a problem that had been giving him headaches for years.

"I can make roughly 5000 bottles," Shirou replied. "An amount that I think is enough to remove the curse from the people of Negi village."t

"A problem that has been bothering me for more than 6 years has finally been solved!" The headmaster said while shedding tears. "I feel really relieved!"

A problem has finally found a solution, but they are all completely unaware that a new, much bigger problem awaits them all behind the gates that will lead them all to Mundus Magicus..
