Seeing my reaction, Asuna and the others immediately glared at me with murderous intent.

Noticing their hostile gazes, I quickly said, "Um, I already left the previous footwork on the grass!"

Hearing me say that, apart from Yotsuba, Mayu, Chao, and Konoka, Setsuna, Asuna, Negi, and Gufi all ran towards the World Tree. The magical footwork that could evade the four-person attack reappeared in their minds.

Chapter 256 Negi's Trial

When the hour and minute hands completely overlapped at twelve o'clock, it signified that Negi's test had arrived. Negi bowed slightly to Evangeline and Chachamaru standing opposite him and said, "Negi-Springfield has come to accept the apprenticeship test!"

Evan immediately laughed and said, "Hehe... Welcome! Let's begin! If you hit Chachamaru with your skills, you win. But if you get knocked down without being able to hit her... you lose! Understand?"

Negi looked at Ivan, who was speaking, and asked with a smile, "Is this the only condition?"

Evan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's right..." She stopped mid-sentence, pointing to me, Konoka, and the others standing at the bottom of the stairs, and said, "But... can we try to get rid of those spectators first?" Then she looked at me and pointed to the four members of the sports club next to her, asking, "It's fine if you and Konoka come, but why did they come too?"

I immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, they're just concerned about Negi, there's nothing I can do about it!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the four members of the sports club and Konoka and the others immediately echoed my words, shouting, "Negi, go!"

"Go, Negi-sensei!"

"Go for it, Negi!"

"Go Negi's apprentice!"

Negi immediately smiled and said, "Thank you everyone! I'm going to show you the results of my practice!"

Seeing their reaction, Yiwen turned her face away and said, "Fine, let's leave it at that!"

Negi walked up to Chachamaru, bowed slightly, and said, "Chachamaru-kun, nice to meet you!"

Chachamaru immediately bowed and said, "Let me be your opponent, Negi-sensei!"

"Okay, let's begin!" Yiwen said immediately after seeing that the two were ready.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chachamaru immediately raised his left fist and charged towards Negi. Negi immediately chanted a spell: "Execute the contract for 90 seconds, Negi-Springfield!" As a faintly glowing magical aura enveloped his body, he assumed a Bajiquan stance, blocking Chachamaru's attack. At that moment, a cover suddenly opened on Chachamaru's right elbow, revealing a small jet. Accelerated by the jet, Chachamaru's right hand struck towards Negi's face at several times the previous speed. Negi slightly swayed, dodging Chachamaru's attack. With a slight movement of his hands, he drew an arc with his feet, turned around, and appeared behind Chachamaru. He then swung his right arm towards Chachamaru, but just as Negi was about to strike, Chachamaru miraculously and forcefully twisted his body to block Negi's attack.

Because of the limited time available for using magic, Negi chose a head-on approach, unleashing several of the eight major moves of Bajiquan, attacks that almost completely abandoned defense. Sensing Negi's fighting style, Chachamaru was slightly taken aback, immediately using a move far exceeding Negi's attack speed to block all of Negi's attacks, and then launching a powerful kick at Negi's wide-open center.

"bump!"

Chachamaru's kick was blocked by Negi, who had quickly returned to defend with his arms crossed. However, under her powerful force, Negi was forced back nearly three meters. Despite the protection of his magic, Negi felt a numbness in his arm and did not continue his attack after regaining his footing. But Chachamaru did not give him a chance to rest. She stepped on one foot, raised her right hand, and charged forward again. When Negi saw Chachamaru's attack, he did not panic. He kept his feet on the ground, swayed slightly to avoid Chachamaru's right fist, and then grabbed Chachamaru's right fist and pulled it towards him. He stepped forward with his right foot, entered Chachamaru's inner circle, and raised his elbow in a move from the "Top" technique of the Six Openings of Bajiquan.

Seeing this, Gufei, who was standing next to me, smiled slightly, because she knew that if Negi's attack succeeded, Negi would win. However, Negi's attack missed, because just as Negi was about to strike her, Chachamaru used Negi's momentum to flip over, like a horizontal bar athlete doing a half-turn, and came behind Negi, kicking him in the back again.

Unable to defend himself, Negi managed to sway several times to dissipate some of the force of Chachamaru's kick, but the remaining force still sent him flying, crashing heavily onto the platform.

After seeing Negi fall, Evangeline frowned slightly and said to Negi, "What a pity! Little brother! So this is all the strength you have. Go back and train harder!"

After she finished speaking, Negi, who was lying on the ground, burst into laughter, then sprang to her feet and said, "Hehehe...it's not over yet...I haven't fallen down yet! Evangeline!"

Hearing Negi say this, Evangeline immediately waved her hand and said in a soothing tone, "What did you say? The outcome is already decided, kid... go home and sleep! Be good."

Negi immediately assumed an attack stance and said with a smile, "The condition for victory is 'I get defeated,' right? And I remember... there's no time limit!"

Hearing Negi's words, Evan said with slight surprise, "What did you say? Could it be that you..."

Negi immediately chimed in, "That's right! I'll hold on for hours until I hit the target." Then, turning to Chachamaru, he said, "Chachamaru-kun... let's continue!"

Hearing Negi say that, Chachamaru turned to look at me, seemingly seeking my opinion, and I smiled and nodded. Seeing my nod, Chachamaru turned to Negi and said, "Well... Negi-sensei, excuse me!"

"Thank you, Chachamaru, drink up...!" After thanking him, Negi got into position and charged forward, yelling as he did so!

………………

"bump!"

With a heavy blow from Chachamaru, Negi fell to the ground again, causing the girls watching nearby to tense up. They had already seen Negi get down more than ten times, and every time they saw Negi get up from the ground, they couldn't help but show worried expressions.

Just then, as Negi was about to charge forward again, I suddenly said, "Negi... good luck!" As I said the last three words, I gave Negi a thumbs up.

Seeing my reaction, Negi immediately smiled and said, "I understand, brother!" Then he instantly dispelled his magic and walked to the opposite side of Chachamaru.

Seeing this, everyone except the four members of the sports club who were unaware of the existence of magic and myself showed puzzled expressions and wondered to themselves, "What is this...?"

..............................

"Tell me! What exactly did you teach that brat?" Yiwen rushed up to me and grabbed my collar, demanding an answer.

"It's nothing! You're overthinking it, Evangeline... classmate!" I said, putting on an innocent expression.

"Stop joking, do you think I'm blind? That brat has been using weird footwork since the beginning. I've encountered enemies like that before. It's the old-fashioned style of those Chinese. Given their personalities, that idiot Gufei could never have learned it! Let me state this first: even if he wins like that, I won't admit it!" Evangeline pointed at Negi, who was entangled with Chachamaru using weird footwork, and shouted at me.

I turned my face away and said in a tone that seemed to say, "You're wrong, I didn't teach Negi any martial arts... really!"

Upon hearing this, a cross immediately appeared above Yiwen's head. She grabbed my collar and shook me violently, yelling, "You bastard, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Ah... Evangeline, let go of my Tian-gege!" Seeing me being tortured by Evangeline, Konoka immediately grabbed Evangeline's clothes and shouted.

"Stop nagging! Let go!"

"Konaka...help...my life!"

Meanwhile, the fight between Chachamaru and Negi could no longer be called a fight, but rather a one-sided chase. Chachamaru kept attacking Negi, but just when she was about to hit him, Negi always dodged at the crucial moment and kept circling around Chachamaru.

As time slowly passed, Negi's movements suddenly paused, his footwork became disordered, and his movements slowed down. It seemed that he was nearing the limit of his physical strength. Chachamaru immediately seized the opportunity and struck Negi's face.

Negi, whose footwork was already in disarray, was immediately hit by Chachamaru. Although Negi crossed his arms and used a magic barrier to block Chachamaru's attack the moment he was hit, the powerful impact sent him flying.

This result stunned Asuna and the other girls, who thought they had a good chance of winning. They all shouted, "Negi!" Asuna even wanted to rush up and stop the duel, but she was stopped by Tokie, who looked reluctant.

Toki looked at Asuna and said, "Asuna-san, I understand how you feel, but... you can't go over there!"

Hearing Tokie say this, Asuna couldn't help but say, "But... he's already covered in injuries, he doesn't need to risk his life!"

As soon as Asuna finished speaking, Tokie exclaimed, "I know... but... I think that stopping them now would only harm Negi, because... he said he would try his best in everything!" Hearing Tokie say this, Asuna stopped, because she remembered that I had told her some things about Negi's father. Thinking of this, she stopped and looked at Negi lying on the ground, saying, "Okay!"

At this moment, Negi, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to his feet, faced Chachamaru, assumed a fighting stance once more, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Negi... what is he going to do now?" Asuna asked Setsuna behind her after seeing Negi close his eyes.

"I don't know!" Setsuna shook her head and said.

At that moment, Negi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them and charged towards Chachamaru with a shout.

Chachamaru was slightly taken aback when she saw Negi rushing towards her, but she still raised her fist and punched Negi. However, just as she rushed towards Negi, Negi suddenly disappeared from her sight. When Negi reappeared, he was already standing to Chachamaru's side and successfully hit her.

Upon witnessing this phenomenon, Setsuna and Ivan exclaimed, "Shrinking Earth! (Instantaneous Movement)!"

With Evan straddling me, I immediately laughed and said, "Hehe...looks like it's over!" Then I said to Evan, "Alright, can I get up now?"

At this moment, Asuna and the other girls finally realized what was happening and immediately shouted excitedly, "Great! Negi won!"

"Negi, you're awesome!"

Then the women rushed forward and surrounded Negi, asking about his injuries!

After getting off me, Yiwen shouted at Chachamaru, "Chachamaru, what are you doing?"

Chachamaru immediately said softly, "I'm sorry, Master! I didn't expect Negi-sensei to use such a technique...!"

Just as Chachamaru was apologizing in a low voice, I laughed and said, "Hehehe... I didn't expect Negi to learn it in such a short time. He's really my little brother!"

Seeing my reaction, Yiwen immediately snorted and said, "Hmph, fine!" Then, she turned to Negi, who was surrounded by the women, and said, "Little brother, I'm truly defeated by you! You've passed, so I'll train you as agreed! Come to the cabin whenever you have time! By the way, you should continue your kung fu training! Anyway, you need to learn physical techniques; someone who likes to reason isn't suited for Chinese kung fu!"

Hearing Evangeline's words, Negi immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Evangeline..."

Seeing Negi's smiling face, Evan immediately snorted and said, "Go back, Chachamaru!" Then he turned and left.

After Evan left, I smiled and said to Negi, "Congratulations, Negi! Keep up the good work!"

Negi immediately clenched his fist and said, "I understand, brother!"

Seeing him like this, I patted Negi's head and said, "Well then, I'm going back too!"

Hearing me say that, Munaika immediately grabbed my hand and said, "Brother Tian, ​​are you going back?"

I immediately smiled and patted her head, saying, "Okay, Konoka, go back and rest too! It's very late now, and lack of sleep will turn you into an ugly monster!" As I spoke, I flicked her forehead.

"Oh, you're so annoying, Brother Tian!" Munaika immediately blushed and slapped my body.

As Konoka patted me, I smiled slightly, kissed her forehead, and said, "Hehehe... Konoka, be a good girl!"

After I kissed her, Konoka nodded shyly and said, "Mmm... I understand, Brother Tian!"

Seeing the shy Konoka, I smiled and turned around to walk towards the wooden house.

Chapter 257 Evan Grown Up

On the morning of Monday, May 5th, the day after Negi passed Evangeline's test.

After seeing Asuna leave for work early as usual, Negi quietly climbed down from his attic, eager to find information about his father in the school's underground library.

Just yesterday afternoon, Miyazaki Waka and Ayano Yuue, who had been asked by Negi to help, found Negi after he passed Evan's test. They claimed to have deciphered the map containing information about Negi's father, and told him that the map indicated a location deep within the school's underground library. However, the perceptive Yuue immediately recognized Negi as a magician and demanded that he take her on an adventure into the library. For her safety, Negi refused Yuue's request and quickly fled the scene.

Now, as Asuna left, Negi planned to sneak off alone to the underground library to search for information about his father. Just as Negi was about to quietly open the door and leave, Konoka's lazy voice came from behind him: "Hmm... Negi? You have to do your morning practice again! Actually, you could rest until your injuries are fully healed, right?"

Thinking he'd been discovered, Negi immediately laughed after hearing Konoka's explanation and said, "That won't do... You have to work hard on this every day..."

Hearing Negi say that, Konoka smiled and said, "I see! Don't push yourself too hard!"

"Hmm...!" Negi hurriedly nodded, then rushed out the door, thinking to himself, "That was close..." But he didn't notice that after he left, Konoka immediately took out her phone and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, inside Evangeline's wooden cabin...

At this moment, Evangeline was lying on top of me wearing a silk nightgown, while I was wearing the super cute nightgown that Muna had prepared for me, but the collar was open, exposing my breasts. Underneath the sleeping Evangeline's face, her long black hair was intertwined with Evangeline's blonde hair, making the whole scene extremely ambiguous.

If you look closely, you'll notice that Evangeline's once perfectly fitting pajamas are noticeably shorter. Or you could say that Evangeline has grown up. In terms of both height and figure, she now looks like she's thirteen or fourteen years old. If Asuna or Negi and the others saw Evangeline, they would definitely scream in surprise. After all, it's unacceptable for a 'vampire' who hasn't changed in over a hundred years to suddenly look like this overnight. From a certain perspective, she's almost out of the 'loli' category.

I slowly opened my eyes, and upon seeing the scene before me, I almost jumped out of bed. But because of Evan lying on top of me, I resisted the urge to jump. Looking at Evan, who seemed to have grown a lot (not just seemed, but really), I couldn't help but think of the scene from last night.

Last night, after I finished showering and was getting ready for bed in my pajamas, Yiwen, also in her pajamas, walked in and, without a second thought, pushed me onto the bed, laughing as she said, "Time to pay the rent!" She then pulled open my collar and bit my neck.

Feeling the blood slowly draining from my body, and that strange sensation—this was the first time she had bitten my neck to wash away the blood—made me a little uncomfortable. I couldn't help but say, "Hey, kid, don't be too greedy, give me less!"

But Evan didn't seem to hear me and continued to greedily suck the blood. As time passed, I started to feel dizzy, which was clearly a symptom of excessive blood loss. I couldn't help but think to myself, "What's wrong with her today, or did I do something wrong to suck so much blood!" In the end, I actually fell asleep like that and stayed in that position with her until dawn.

I slowly moved my body, hoping to leave this troublesome place without waking Evan. But things didn't go as planned, and Evan was still awakened by my movements. She opened her sky-blue eyes and looked at me so close to her. I immediately smiled at her and said, "Good...good morning!"

Seeing me like this, Yiwen blushed and sat up. As the distance between us increased, I realized that Yiwen had really grown up, several years older overnight.

When Yiwen noticed me staring at her, she immediately asked in confusion, "You bastard, what are you looking at me for?"

"Ah...it's nothing!" I immediately turned my face away and said, grabbing my clothes and running out of my room.
