Chapter 149 - The Test 6

17:00 P.M right at the time of the Summer Festival, Negi and Kotaro started walking together with Setsuna, Konoka and Asuna who decided to go to the Summer Festival together.

"This Summer Festival is really fun!" Negi said who was wearing a brown yukata. "The atmosphere feels much more fun than the Mahora Festival!"

"Of course it feels much more fun than the Mahora Festival," Konoka said who was wearing a white yukata with a sunflower pattern. "Because the number of visitors is much less than the Mahora Festival, that's why the situation is feel more good!"

"There stall who selling the food is not as much as the Mahora Festival," Asuna said, who wearing a pink yukata with a polkadot pattern. "But the taste of the food that was sold in this Summer Festival is much more delicious than the one sold that the Mahora Festival."

" Asuna-Nee-san ehy did I feel that you came to the Summer Festival just to hunt the delicious food," Kotaro said who was wearing a gray yukata. "Isn't the Summer Festival a time where we enjoy fireworks and all kinds of fun games accompanied by delicious food? Why does Asuna-Nee-san look and sound like she doesn't want to do anything other than find a good meal at the Summer Festival? "

"That's because Asuna-san is that kind of person," Setsuna said who was wearing a red yukata with a cherry blossom pattern. "For her the Summer Festival is a time to hunt a delicious cheap food. Usually two months before the Summer Festival starts she will take extra odd jobs so she will have more money to buy the food she likes at the Summer Festival."

"I didn't expect that Asuna-san could be so much more diligent in order to get what she likes," Negi said.

"Hehehehe of course I have to work harder," Asuna said. "For all the delicious food that awaits me at the Summer Festival!"

"Yes, but it would be better if you became more diligent in your school lesson," Konoka said. "Are you aware that you scored the lowest in the final exam of this semester?"

"Eeeeh, but studying is boring!" Asuna said with a pale face after hearing Konoka's words. "A one-page of the textbook that I read will made me fall asleep! If you tell me to study more hard Konoka! I will fainted wih coughing a lot of blood from my mouth!"

"But Asuna-san if you're lazy to study and your grades getting worsed Shirou-Nii will hate you," Negi said. "Do you want that to happen?"

"Uukh, I don't want that to happen to me," Asuna said. "I don't want to be hated by Shirou-kun!"

"That's why Asuna, after summer vacation is over you have to study harder so that your grades will increase!" Konoka said.

"But Konoka, do you know how so I will not feel bored while studying?" Asuna said. "You know yourself, right. I'm the type of person who gets bored quickly when I'm reading a textbook or studying."

"By motivating yourself to get even better grades, Asuna," Konoka said."Because you don't have the motivation to get good grades, that's why you get bored quickly when you are studying, because Mahora Gakuen using the escalator system you become really lazy and dind't want try to get a better results. If you go to school outside of Mahora, I guarantee you will not graduated from the middle school Asuna's. Would you mind if I asked Grandpa to transfer you to a school outside Mahora that doesn't use the escalator system."

This time Asuna's face became much paler after hearing Konoka's advice, she realized that she didn't try much harder in studying because Mahora Gakuen uses an escalator system. But after hearing Konoka's advice that she will not graduated from a middle school if she goes to another school. Asuna became very scared, because if she didn't try to change herself to became more diligent, she might be transferred to another school outside Mahora. And she knew that she couldn't stand to go to another school.

"O-of course I won't," Asuna said. "If I went to school outside of Mahora, I will never graduated from a middle school."

"Then you have to promise me, that you'll put more effort in your study so at least your grades improve a little after school starts again," Konoka said. "I'm not going to force you to get good grades right away because I know it's impossible, so I'm just asking you to raise your test scores a bit Asuna."

"Yeah, yeah I'll try my best," Asuna said, relieved that at least Konoka didn't tell her to get good grades right away.

"Hey, Negi, there's a goldfish catching stand over there," Kotaro said. "Do you want to compete with me?"

"Sure," Negi said. "Count me in!"

The two of them then walked to the stand to catch the goldfish and started the competition they had agreed to in advance.

"They're both really competitive, huh," Konoka said with a smile. "It's really nice to see those two be able to act according to their age."

"Kotaro and Negi always act more mature than their age, though," Asuna said. "Even I have to admit, in terms of maturity they are both much better than me."

"That's because circumstances they didn't want forced the two of them to act much older than their age," Setsuna said. "The meeting between the two of them allowed them to behave according to their respective ages."

"But I wonder if the two of them already have a girl they like," Konoka said. "I'm really curious."

"Kotaro is acting suspiciously around Natsumi and Chizuru," Asuna said. "As for Negi I don't know who he likes, but the class rep, Makie and the library duo clearly like Negi even honya-chan has confessed her love for Negi, even though Negi politely rejects Nodoka by saying that he already has someone he loves"

"Eeeeeh, Negi-kun already has someone he likes!" Konoka shouted. "This is really shocking!"

"Well, Negi-Sensei is always serious about his work," Setsuna said. "And he's only 10 years old, so I guess it's natural that he hasn't thought about liking someone yet, but I didn't think that sensei already had someone he liked."

"According to the data I have about Negi-Sensei is in loved with his childhood friend Anya Kokorova." Chachamaru said who was wearing a purple yukata with a maple leaf pattern.

"Gyaaaaa!" Asuna shouted.

"Geez!" Konoka said.

"Wow!" Setsuna said.

Chachamaru who appeared suddenly when Setsuna, Konoka and Asuna were busy chatting made the three of them shocked to death. Necause they were completely unaware of Chachamaru's arrival.

"Chachamaru!" Asuna shouted. "Don't appear suddenly like that!"

"Chachamaru, your sudden appearance almost gave me a heart attack you know!" Konoka said.

"Chachamaru, please don't startle us like that next time," Setsuna said. "To be honest, it makes my heart feel like it's going to burst!"

"I'm sorry," Chachamaru said as she lowered her body. "I really didn't mean to."

"Sigh never mind," Konoka said who was holding her chest which was still nervous. "Chachamaru why did you appear suddenly in front of the three of us?"

"I was told by Master to give this pin to all the club members," Chachamaru said while showing the Ala Alba pin to Konoka, Asuna and Setsuna.

"Chachamaru what pin is this?" Asuna asked.

"It's a special gift from Master to all the club members," Chachamaru replied.

"Wow, what a cute pin!" Konoka said with sparkling eyes. "Is this pin really for us?"

"Yes," replied Chachamaru. "All club members get the same pin."

"Chachamaru-san what is the function of this pin?" asked Setsuna.

"That pin serves as proof of membership," Chachamaru replied. "Please wear it during the Summer Festival."

"Okay, I'll use it," Konoka said . "Because this pin is cute. But Chachamaru why is the pin shaped like white wings?"

"Yeah, Eva-chan wants to give all the club members a present?" Asuna said. "That's very suspicious."

"Master and Shirou-Sama don't like the club name Negima," Chachamaru said. "That's why they both changed the name of the Negima club to Ala Alba which means white wing copying Ala Rubra or Thousand Master's Crimson Wing."

"Uh, White Wings!" Konoka said. "That's a pretty name!"

"I don't know why I feel a little strange with that name considering I also have a pair of white wings," Setsuna said with a face that was red with embarrassment.

"Eva-chan and Shirou-kun are great to be able to think of a much better name than the Negima club name I created," Asuna said. "Ukkh ​​I have to admit that the Negima club name sounds really bad."

"There's one more thing you all should know about that pin," Chachamaru said. "Because the pin is proof of membership the person who lost the pin before going to England will be forced out of the club."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeh!" Said Asuna/Setsuna/Konoka who was surprised by Chachamaru's last words.

On the opposite side of where Asuna and the others were. before Chachamaru went to meet Asuna and the others, Chachamaru had already met Rin, Arturia, Kuro, Miyu, Sakura and Luvia first and gave them all the same pin and the same thing regarding the function of that pin at the Summer Festival.

"Why did Eva-chan and Shirou have to have such a crazy idea anyway," Rin said with a sigh. "The time when people who lose this pin must lose their right to go to England."

"What a cruel idea to test our fighting skills," Kuro said. "Onii-chan's idea this time was really beyond expectation."

"Shirou usually wouldn't use this kind of idea," Arturia said. "I think Shirou got this idea from Archer, while Evangeline provided this Ala Alba pin."

"Shero's idea of ​​testing all of us' abilities will only apply to weaklings like Miyazaki Nodoka or Ayase Yue," Luvia said. "The rest of Ala Alba's members are already strong enough so ordinary people who try to snatch this pin from us will have a very hard time snatching it from us."

"Senpai is really acting different than usual this time," Sakura saidd. "And I agree with Kuro I think this crazy idea came from Archer."

"It seems that Onii-chan came up with this idea indeed to test the weak Ala Alba members," Miyu said. "Our abilities are indeed quite strong, but I don't think that will stop others from attacking us all because not everyone knows that we have the ability to fight."

"Haaaah even though I just want to enjoy this Summer Festival leisurely," Rin said with a sigh. "But now everything is ruined because of Shirou and Eva-chan's idea."

"It can't be helped," Kuro said. "At this rate we can only face everyone who attacks us."

"Yes, but we all have to hold ourselves back in case someone attacks," Arturia said. "Otherwise there will be a massacre."

They all nodded in agreement with Arturia's words, because if they weren't careful the people who attacking them could get a serious injured.
