New Student of 2-A

Takeo remained standing there in front of the female students of classroom 2-A who were still looking at him with collective stares and a confused look on their face. After standing there with them looking at him, he started to make a slightly nervous look on his face wondering if he did something wrong and he started to scratch the side of his cheek with his finger.

"Uh, did I do something…?"

[Kyaaaaaaaaah!]

He jumped out of shock as most of them shrieked out excitedly in a high pitched scream. And most of them came from their seats and began to crowd around him with smiles on their face. As they continued to press up against him, he started to blush a very deep shade of red as he felt their collective breasts beginning to press up against him

"I-I can feel their breasts pressing up against my face!" Takeo thought with a slight blush on his face. "And I really thought that they'd be more shocked about me being here."

As that thought had crossed his mind, amongst one of the most sensible members of Class 2-A who didn't childishly rush towards him. One of them was an orange haired girl with round glasses who had a very annoyed look on her face, after seeing how they were reacting to Takeo.

"Idiots." The orange haired girl grumbled to herself. "Why is there even a male student here?"

She continued to grumble out annoyance at her fellow students who were overacting over the fact that they had a male student their age attending their class. While the other orange haired girl in the class who had bells in her hair, by the name of Asuna began to narrow her eyes towards Takeo with a wondering look on her face.

"Why does it feel like I've seen him somewhere before?" Asuna asked herself within her head, as her eye started to twitch out of annoyance. "And why do I have the strongest desire to punch him."

Unbeknownst to Takeo, Asuna continued to stare daggers at him as she continued to become annoyed upon seeing him. Further away from them, the small blonde haired foreign girl more resembling a ten-year-old than a fifteen-year-old. She began looking at him with a slightly wondering look on her face and she had sighed slightly.

"So the dean brought in someone from the Narukami Clan, huh?" The blonde haired girl had mumbled to herself. "Well, things might start to get a little big more interesting."

"Master do you know him?"

The green haired robot girl next to her asked, with an almost blank look on her face.

"Not personally Chachamaru, but I knew his idiotic ancestor." She answered, with a slight sigh. "Now that I think about it, I can already tell that he's going to be just as annoying as he was."

Standing there away from the students crowing around Takeo was Akira, the tall brown haired girl who had passed by him outside. Her attention was then later caught towards the light blue haired girl.

"I-Isn't he the same guy that had ran passed us?"

The light blue haired girl had asked her in a slightly nervous tone, while she also made a wondering look on her face.

"Yes, but I didn't expect to see him here of all places."

"Y-Yea…."

After hearing the slightly nervous tone that was in her voice, Akira turned her attention towards the light blue haired girl. She immediately noticed the conflicted look that was on her face. Akira then placed her hand comfortably on her shoulder, which caused the blue-haired girl to look towards her.

"Why don't you go over and just say hi to him? It seems that Yuna already has."

"Uh, I really don't think that he'd want to."

"Oh, Ako."

Akira looked at Ako with a compassionate look on her face, as she continued to look over towards Takeo as the girl was still pressing up against him. There a part of Ako wanted to walk over and say hello to him, but there was self-doubt in herself that had kept her from doing so.

Meanwhile, the girls who were crowding around him continued to ask him a barrage of questions, which he was unable to answer. Until another female student with red hair walked up in front of him with a notepad in her hand.

"I'm Kazumi Asakura, the report of Class 2-A and there are some questions that I'd like to ask."

"Uh, okay."

Takeo could only respond to her request with a slightly nervous smile, as everyone began to crowd around him with a curious look on their face.

"How old are you?"

"15."

"And what's your nationality?"

"I was born in another country, but I'm Japanese by descent."

"Where are you from?"

"I was raised in Tokyo, Japan."

"What're your hobbies, likes, and dislikes?"

"My hobbies are sports, likes are music and my dislikes are bullies."

Takeo answered each of her questions honestly, while Kazumi jotted them down in her notepad. She then looked towards him with her next question already on her mind. Though the eyes that she was beginning to give him caused him to blush, while also having an unsettling feeling down his spine.

"Are you currently dating anyone?"

"Uh, no I'm currently single. Why do you want to go out Kazumi-san?"

Takeo had asked her in a slightly teasing tone, which caused her to blush a deep shade of red and looked away with a slight smirk on her face. Though she could feel some jealous and slightly irritated eyes being drawn towards her.

"N-No, it's just for reference. S-So where are you staying?"

"Well, the Dean said something about me staying within the girl's dormitory. So does anyone mind me crashing with them?"

[EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]

Most of them shouted out of shock only excluding the calmest minded out of them, but even they wore a slightly shocked look on their face. Though the blonde haired girl who was 'defending' Negi had looked towards him with a slightly irked look on her face.

"I apologize for not introducing myself to you earlier, my name is Ayaka Yukihiro. And as Iincho of this class, I cannot agree with this! Negi-sensei is one thing since he's only a child, but I cannot allow you, a teenager student to share the same room with any of the other girls in the female dormitory! Allowing such a thing would be inappropriate and you're not even wearing the school uniform."

"The dean said that my uniform would be coming in by tomorrow. And what about the well being of Negi-kun?"

Takeo asked in a slightly more serious tone, though he had a slightly mischievous thought coming into his mind. And Ayaka looked at him with a slightly confused look on her face after he had said that, along with the other students, though they decided to listen in.

"What're you talking about?"

"Negi-kun is only a ten year old, you can't just expect him to live in a dormitory filled with beautiful Onee-sans without an Onii-san. Every boy needs an older male role model in their life, someone to teach them about the wonders of life, someone to guide them whenever they feel lost, especially someone as special as Negi-kun."

"W-Well…?"

Ayaka started to ask with a stutter trying to process what he was trying to tell her but was stopped as he suddenly appeared next to her with his hand placed on her shoulder. Everyone in class looked at him while giggling slightly after realizing that he's trying to manipulate into her inner Shotacon. Though Negi was making an embarrassed look after hearing Takeo praising him.

"I promise that I won't teach him anything dangerous or inappropriate, I can tell that you want the best for Negi-kun."

"Th-That's correct, but…."

"Come on, do I really seem like a…?"


YOU CREEP!"

He was suddenly stopped mid-sentence as he heard Asuna shouting at him slightly out of anger and pulled him by his collar suddenly. Everyone looked towards her with a shocked look on their face, while Negi went towards her and attempted to bed her with a nervous look on his face.

"A-Asuna-san, you can't just pull Takeo-san like…!"

"STAY OUT OF THIS NEGI BAKA!"

Negi had stiffened at Asuna shouting at him in an enraged tone and immediately shrink away in the corner out of depression. Ayaka then looked towards Asuna with an enraged look on her face and was ready to tell her off, but before she could Asuna glared at with a threatening look. And the look that she gave her caused everyone to slightly back away from her out of fear, while Takeo looked at her with a nervous smile.

"S-So can I help you, uh I think your names…Asuna-san?"

"So you decided to show your face here again!"

He was genuinely confused by what Asuna had said to him, this is the first time that he's ever met her. Though after hearing what he had said, it had only made her, even more, angrier and it caused her to grip his shirt collar tighter.

"What're you talking about?! I don't even know you!"

"Don't shout at me!"

"You're the one who started it!"

"I don't care, you owe me an apology!"

Everyone looked towards Asuna with a confused look on their face, as she continued to ask him for an apology for something he apparently did. Though Takeo only looked at her with a dumbfounded look on his face wondering what she was talking about and shouted back.

"For what?! We've never even met!"

"YOU KNOW WHY BAKEO!"

"IT'S TAKEO APE!"

"DON'T CALL ME APE!"

After he shouted that, he suddenly remember hearing 'Bakeo' from her and was suddenly reminded of someone else from his past.

"Wait a second, the only person who called me that was some violent orange haired girl that I met here when I was…nine."

He then took a better look at Asuna and he was immediately reminded of a nine-year-old version of her glaring at him. He looked at her with a very shocked look on his face.

"T-That was you! You're that girl that I met when I was here!"

At what he said, Asuna only glared at him with an angered look on her face and shouted.

"Yes! Now you owe me an apology!"

"I didn't even do anything!"

"It was your fault!"

"Asuna-sa…Ah…ha…."

As Negi continued to try and calm down Asuna, though a certain known condition of his began to act up again. And he finally sneezed releasing a powerful gust of wind, reacting out of instinct Takeo had placed up a magic barrier that blocked the wind. Though most of Asuna's clothing were blown away leaving nothing but her white bra and panties, while everyone else skirts went flying upwards.

"Eh, where did that wind come from?"

"It's not the first time this has happened."

Everyone began questioning where that sudden wind had come from, while Takeo was blushing a slight shade of red after getting a shot of their panties.

"Was that an accidental Disarmament Spell activation?"

He questioned to himself, though he's only heard of some small case where someone had actually accidentally released a disarmament spell.

"…Negi."

Asuna had whispered out dangerously towards Negi, knowing full well that he was the one that was responsible for the sudden gust of wind. Negi looked towards her with a scared look on his face as he begun to flail both his arms around out of panic.

"A-Asuna-san I-I'm…."

"Bakaaa Negiiiii!"

Asuna shouted as she grabbed her discarded clothes and ran out of the classroom with Negi looking at her with teary eyes. After seeing that Takeo had turned his attention back towards Ayaka who was slightly dumbstruck by what had just happened.

"So about me rooming with somebody."

"Y-Yes, well if someone is willing to let you stay with them. Then I can't really say anything, but I'll be keeping an eye on you!"

Ayaka declared as she shot a slight glare towards him, leaving Takeo to only laugh nervously, while also scratching the back of his head.

"You must be enjoying the class."

Takeo had heard a cheerful voice from one of the students in the class, but he didn't turn him towards them to see her face.

"Yea, this class seems to be more lively than my last classmates."

"That's Class 2-A for you."

"Right, so what's you…?"

He turned his head as he asked for their names, but once he did Takeo was blushing as he took a real close look at her face. She was a girl his hair with black hair and brown eyes, but what really caught his attention was how downright cute. Her brown hair extended down to her back and the innocent smile that made her even cuter.

"Huh? Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing."

"Hmm, well. My names Konoka Konoe, I'm also sorry about my roommate."

Konoka had fully introduced herself to him with a kind smile on her face, with Takeo smiling back at him. Though he had just realized that she had just said about Asuna being her roommate.

"So you're roommates with Asuna, Konoka-san."

"Yes, but I've never seen her act that angry even towards Negi-kun."

As they continued talking with each other, he had just remembered that her last name was similar to the deans.

"Wait, are you related to the dean in any way?"

"Yes, actually he's my grandfather."

After she had said that he looked at her with a slight calculating look on his face, he later started to try and sense the magical power in her body. And what Konoemon said was true, she did possess magical powers and it was indeed higher than anything he's felt yet.

"He wasn't lying, she does possess high levels of magical potential…higher than anyone I've met so far. Though she hasn't completely awakened to it yet."

Konoka noticed Takeo looking at her and she began to blush slightly while placing her hand on the side of her face.

"Ah, Takeo-kun don't stare at me so much. You're embarrassing me."

Konoka had said teasingly while laughing slightly. Though after hearing what she said, his cheeks began to turn slightly red.

"N-No, wait I wasn't staring. I was just…!"

He had tried to explain it to her, but he noticed that she was laughing slightly at how he was reacting.

"Hehehe, don't worry I'm just teasing you."

His face had dropped as Konoka had said that and caused him to look away from her.

"So where do you plan on staying?"

Konoka had asked with a wondering look.

"I don't know."

"Well, if Negi-kun wasn't staying with us you could've roomed with us, but I know how to solve this."

"Really, how?"

Takeo had asked her with a curious expression on his face. Konoka only smiled innocently then she turned towards everyone who was in the classroom while cuffing her hands in front of her mouth.

"Hey, is anyone who would like to let Takeo-kun room with them?!"

"Wh-What're you…?!"

He had immediately made a shocked look on his face after hearing Konoka called out that he needed a roommate so nonchalantly. Before anyone else could react, he immediately felt someone grabbing onto his right arm.

"He can room with us!"

Takeo had immediately felt someone hugging his right arm, he turned his head and noticed that he was a cheerful girl with pale red hair tied in twin tails.

"Ara ara, don't try and hog him all to yourself Sakurako."

He was then pulled towards the other direction, but he felt his arms being enveloped in something very soft. She was a girl his age with brownish hair who could only be described as beautiful and her bust was without a doubt the biggest in class. After seeing her get involved, Ayaka had shaken her head with a dismissive look on her face.

"N-No way Chizuru-san, there is no way he's staying in our room!"

"Ah, don't be like that Ayaka."

Ayaka had shaken her head in defiance, which only caused her roommate to frown slightly. Though Negi had made a slightly hesitant look on his face as he had approached everyone.

"U-Uh, everyone can we start class now."

[Awww.]

Everyone sighed slightly out of disappointment, but the began heading back to their seats. While Takeo had remained standing there with a wondering look on his face, but his attention was caught towards Negi.

"So, do I just take an empty seat?"

Takeo had asked as he walked next to the ten-year-old teacher.

"Uh, yes."

"You know you should work on not firing off a Flower Disarmament spell like that."

"Uh, I have this condition where I…huh?"

Negi had made a shocked expression on his face by what he had just heard. How could he have known that the wind was caused by a Disarmament spell? But before Negi could ask him anything, Takeo had walked towards an empty seat in the back. As the lesson began to go on with Negi beginning to teach the class.


BANG!

Everyone jumped after hearing a loud noise coming from the front o the classroom. They looked and noticed that it was Asuna who was fully clothed and wearing an annoyed look on her face. As she stomped into the classroom, she sent Negi a slight glare before walking towards her seat. Negi then continued to give out his lesson with teary eyes.

As the lesson as commencing, Takeo began to notice that he was getting several looks from some of the girls in the class. Most of them were a look of interest or curiosity, while he was being glared at by Asuna.

"Hah, she really doesn't like me."

Takeo wondered as he could feel the malicious intent coming from her glare. But he stopped as he noticed something landing on his desk, which looked like a folded up paper made bird.

"A Shikigami?"

Takeo had asked himself. After opening up the paper there was a message written inside of it, which read:

Meet me by the fountain near Mohora Academy.

After reading the later, he a discreet look towards the students in the classroom and noticed only a certain number of people who could have sent him the note.

"There are some abnormal people in the room, three of them having a good flow of ki, but two of them couldn't have sent the letter. It couldn't be the blonde loli so it could've been…."

Takeo had thought but was interrupted after hearing a faint noise.

"Ah…achoo."

The blonde foreign girl had let out a faint sneeze, causing Chachamaru to look at her with a faint look of worry.

"Are you coming down with a cold master?"

"No, I just felt someone talking about me."

The blonde foreigner answered her with a slight look of annoyance.

"…Okay, that was weird, did she somehow sense me calling her a loli."

Takeo had thought to himself. The bell had rung signifying that class had come to an end, most of the students began getting up to leave for their after-school clubs or back to their dorms. As Takeo was standing up to leave, he was approached by Sakurako who was followed by her two friends one with dark violet hair and the other with pink hair.

"Hello ladies, do you need something?"

"Hey, we just wanted to know if you wanted to come with us sometime after school to the karaoke bar."

"I can't really today, I have something to do."

"Ah, that's alright. I forgot we have had to plan the…."

""Shhh!""

Before she was finished, Sakurako was immediately silenced by both of her friends who had looked slightly panicked. After realizing that she almost spoiled something, Sakurako had begun to laugh with a smile on her face.

"Hahaha, sorry about that."

"Okay…so I'll be seeing you, ladies, later."

Takeo had got out of his seat and quickly headed outside of the classroom wanting to know who had sent him the letter. Though there was a couple of people who still wanted to know more about him before he left.


Asuna and Negi

Meanwhile, Asuna was currently walking down the halls with Negi following behind her wearing an apologetic look on his face.

"Ah, Asuna-san I'm sorry!"

Negi had continued to get Asuna to forgive him, but Asuna was still annoyed by the fact that her clothes were blown away. She stopped and looked towards him with an indifferent look on her face, but her expression softened slightly.

"You really are a trouble making brat, Negi! That argument between both of us and it had nothing to do with you!"

"B-By the way Asuna-san. What exactly do you know about Narukami-san?"

Negi asked her with a wondering look on his face. After Takeo had mentioned Negi's accidentally using a disarmament spell in the middle of class. Upon hearing that from Negi, it caused Asuna to stop and look at him with a curious look on her face.

"Why is it any of your business?"

"Because I think that Narukami-san might be a Mage like me."

"Wh-What?! That idiot is a Mage just like you!"

Asuna was noticeably shocked by what she had just heard from Negi, that the new student who entered their class and someone she had already met before in the past before is actually Mage.

"Are you sure? Because isn't this something that you would've been told about?"

"Yes, I suppose that it could be because that I'm not an official teacher yet. But from his age, it's possible he could be a full-fledged Mage."

"Well, we can find out during the idiot's welcoming party."

Asuna had responded in a huff, as she continued to walk forward with Negi following after her.


Near the Water Fountain in Mahora

Currently, Takeo stood next to the fountain in Mahora with one of his hands placed in his pocket. He stood there looking around for the one who sent him the letter. But all he noticed were several other female students walked passed him and taking interested glances at him. And he was slightly able to hear what some of them were whispering.

"Who is that?"

"Isn't he the new student who transferred into class 2-A."

"They're lucky to get someone like that in their class."

After hearing their whispers Takeo had took a seat on the stone water fountain and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket.

"Hmm, I wonder where she…."

Takeo had wondered out loud as he began to go through the messages that he was sent during the class. Most of them were just messages from his family and the rest of them had to due to his duties as a junior magic detective. He had taken a glance away from his phone and noticed a familiar face walking upstairs. She was a girl his age with purple hair with a book in her hands.

"Isn't she from my class?"

Takeo had asked himself with a wondering look on his face. He looked and noticed that she was too immersed in the book to see where she was going. As she was walking forward and she had tripped on a root from a tree.

"Ahhh!"

She let out a loud scream as she was beginning to fall towards the ground.

"Oh crap!"

Takeo had let out a shout of alert, as he began rushing towards her before she would fall to the ground. After he took another step forward, he vanished from sight and appeared directly under where she was about to land. He reached his hand outwards and caught her in his hands.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Takeo had asked with a worried look on his face.

"I-I guess that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going Narukami-san."

The girl in his arms had responded with a slight sight, but she began to blush after noticing how close that she was to him.

"You know you can just call me Takeo."

"Th-Then Takeo-san, my name is Yue. By the way, could you put me down?"

After noticing the slightly uncomfortable look on her face, Takeo had placed her on the ground. He then looked on the ground and picked up the book that had fallen on the ground.

"Why were you so entranced by this book?"

Takeo asked as his attention was caught towards the book title, which was The Orphaned Mage.

"It's a story that I've been reading for a while about a girl who wakes up in an unknown world filled with magic. She's then found by a Mage who then enrolled her into a Magic Academy, at first she's unable to get through the lessons and she begins to fail. But she continues to work hard in her classes until she becomes one of the best Mages in her class."

She had explained the book as Takeo had handed it back to her. Though she began to give him a slightly calculating look, as she remembered noticing something weird before she fell. Noticing the look that she was giving him, Takeo began to scratch the back of his head with a nervous smirk on his face.

"So, is there anything wrong?"

"No, actually I have to go and meet two of my friends. But, there is something that I'd like to ask you later."

"Okay, then I'll see you later Yue-san."

After saying their final farewell to one another, Yue had walked away to go and meet up with her friends. Though Takeo had sensed someone watching him and he had turned around to see who it was. The one standing behind him was a girl his age with black hair, wearing the female school uniform and carrying a sword case strapped on her shoulder.

"Narukami-san?"

"You can just call me Takeo. So, I'm guessing you're the one who sent me the love letter."

Takeo had joked, but she only looked at him with a deadpanned look on her face clearly not amused by the joke. The look that she gave him caused him to laugh sheepishly.

"Alright, in all seriousness. What did you want to talk about?"

"My name is Setsuna Sakurazaki. And I've already heard about you from the dean, so I know that you're a Mage and that you're Magic Detective."

Takeo was only slightly shocked by what he had heard, but he remembered that she was one of the three students who possessed a strong ki flow.

"So guessing from both your ki flow and that sword you're carrying, you're a Shinmei-Ryū Swordsmen."

"Y-Yes, I just wanted to ask you about the situation concerning Ojou-Sama's hidden potential and those who would try and use her."

"Ojou-Sama? Oh, you're talking about Konoka-san."

Takeo had responded and despite the near plain look on her face, he noticed that there was some concern in her eyes concerning Konoka. After a while, he took a seat on the fountain as he looked towards her.

"Well, I had already look and immediately noticed that her magical potential is incredibly high despite her awakening to it yet. So why don't you have a seat so I can tell you?"

"Alright."

Setsuna had agreed to what he had said and took a seat next to him, as Takeo began to go into what he thought about the current situation.


A/N: There goes the second chapter of the story The Magic Detective, where Takeo makes his full introduction to the rest of class 2-A. And almost immediately he got into a confrontation with Asuna about something that happened in the past, which will be revealed later. He later hinted to Negi that he's a Mage, who's trying to figure out who and why he was here in their classroom. Near the end, he saves Yue from falling on the ground and he later meets up with Setsuna, who wanted to know his feelings about the situation.

If anyone has any ideas on who Takeo might end up rooming with, I'd like to hear them. Also just going to say it, Negi will not be having a harem since he's only 10 and so he will only have pactio partners. And Takeo's current harem is below:

Harem: Asuna, Konoka, Setsuna, Yue.
