My Anime Girlfriends

"Ughhh! What... what kind of outfit is this?" Asuna screamed, blushing as she saw her outfit. At the same time, she realized that her hands were being held up by something that looked like tentacles.

A voice reached Asuna's ears as she cried out, "Miss, are you awake?"

"Who?" Asuna asked, seeing a strange middle-aged man in front of her.

The unfamiliar middle-aged man who had appeared in Yukihiro Ayaka's dormitory immediately smiled and said, "I think it's really inappropriate for a princess who has been captured to be wearing pajamas, so I'll help you change your clothes!" He spoke as if he had done a good deed, in a cheerful mood.

Saying such things is like telling someone "I'm a pervert." Despite her hands being bound, Asuna, filled with shame and anger, still managed to deliver a powerful kick to his face, shouting, "Perverted old man! What are you trying to do?"

"I'm so happy that Negi's friends are all so energetic!" Herman laughed happily despite being kicked by Asuna.

"You're already bleeding from your nose, and you're still pretending nothing's wrong! Put me down!" Asuna said angrily. Then she realized what she meant and said in surprise, "You just said... Negi's companions?"

Just then, Asuna's familiar voice came from elsewhere: "Asuna!"

"Asuna-kun!"

"Ashita, we're here!"

Asuna immediately turned around and saw that Konoka and the others were locked in a water dungeon. Apart from Yuuei, Kaori, Asakura Kazumi, and Kohi, who were locked with Konoka, Setsuna and Chizuru were locked in separate water dungeons on the left and right sides.

When Konoka saw Asuna looking at them, she immediately patted the water prison and shouted, "Are you alright?!"

"Hey, you lecherous baron, release us right now!"

Looking at the noisy group of women, Hermann laughed and said, "They're the audience I invited! Hehe... I've also captured five of Negi's potential allies, as well as that troublesome guy's allies!"

"A troublesome guy?" Asuna asked immediately, puzzled, after hearing Herman's words.

Herman immediately laughed and said, "I heard that guy is a teacher here, and he's a real troublemaker. To keep him from bothering me, I had to grab his partner!"

"Why are you doing this? What is your purpose?" Asuna couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, it's nothing... I'm just doing my job. Although the main purpose is to 'investigate the academy'... the work I've been given includes 'investigating how much of a threat Negi-Springfield and Kagurazaka Asuna will pose in the future'!"

"What? Investigating me? What does this mean?" Asuna immediately asked loudly, puzzled.

Hellman ignored Asuna's shouts and instead touched his hat, looking at the distant sky and saying, "Hmm... he seems to be here..."

Just then, more than a dozen beams of azure light streaked across the sky and shot toward Hermann...

Chapter 266 The Battle Before the Stage

Looking at the magic aimed at him, Hermann smiled slightly and said, "Not bad!" As he spoke, he slowly raised his left hand, and a white 'barrier' immediately appeared in front of him. At the same time, the necklace around Asuna's neck also emitted a white light.

Seeing the magic neutralized by Hermann, Kotaro, who had just jumped off Negi's cane, couldn't help but ask, "It's blocked! A barrier?"

Negi, not feeling any magical collision, immediately said, "No, it was neutralized by him!"

The two then assumed fighting stances, standing at the very top of the stands and looking down at Hermann, saying, "Uncle, we're here!"

"Give them back to us!"

"Negi!" Asuna shouted loudly as soon as she saw Negi appear.

Seeing Asuna dressed strangely, Negi immediately exclaimed, "Asuna-kun... Ah! You've been subjected to lewd things again?"

"No! I was just stripped naked..."

The women imprisoned in the water dungeon immediately laughed and shouted, "Teacher Negi!"

"Negi!"

"My beloved disciple!"

Seeing that the women were unharmed, Negi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Hermann, shouting, "Who are you? Why did you do this?"

Hermann immediately laughed and said, "Negi, I'm so sorry! I actually did something so cruel! I thought you wouldn't fight me with all your might if I didn't bring hostages! I just wanted to know your strength. If you beat me, I'll return these people to you. That's all my conditions... I won't say anything more."

Hearing Hermann say that, Negi fell silent, while Kotaro immediately said with a happy look, "Oh! That's all? That's too easy!" He looked eager to try it out.

Seeing Kotaro like this, Negi quickly stepped forward first, assumed a fighting stance, and said, "Alright! Let me handle this! You step back a little!"

Upon hearing Negi's words, Kotaro immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What?" and began arguing with Negi.

Watching the two arguing, Herman said, "It's good to be energetic... I think the two of you working together have a better chance of defeating me!" He then snapped his fingers.

Because of the snap of the fingers, Negi and Kotaro, who were preparing for the fight, finally realized what was happening and discovered that two strange little girls were attacking them. Moreover, their right feet had been bound by someone's hands. It was the slime trio who had kidnapped the girls earlier.

Although Negi and Kotaro managed to block the attack, they were still blasted from the top of the audience seats to the front of the stage. After regaining his footing, Negi, sensing the force of the attack, couldn't help but ask, "What are those things?"

Kotaro immediately exclaimed, "It's a slime! A very famous monster..."

After hearing Kotaro's explanation, Negi immediately compared the other person's appearance with his own image and said, "What? It doesn't look like him at all!"

Hearing Negi and Kotaro's conversation, the three slimes immediately stopped and looked at them. The slime who seemed more lively and cheerful smiled and said, "Hehehe... We are indeed slimes, and my name is Slime!"

The woman with glasses continued, "I am Ameko."

The last one, with long hair and a cold expression, said, "Pudding!" Then the three of them charged towards Negi and Kotaro. Pudding and Amiko attacked Kotaro, while Srum attacked Negi alone.

Slam threw a punch after rushing towards Negi. Negi slightly turned her body and deflected the attack with both hands. However, Slam twisted her body strangely and struck at Negi's face with her other hand. Negi immediately raised her hand to block the attack, but Slam's attacking right hand wrapped around Negi's left hand like a flexible snake.

Seeing that his left hand was entangled, Negi immediately slapped the slime's head. With Negi's powerful slap, the slime was immediately pushed backward, her head and neck being eerily stretched backward. After the slime's head quickly returned to its original shape, it looked at Negi and said with a smile, "A child's play!"

Negi ignored her, simply gathering his energy and stepping forward to strike with his palm while softly chanting, "Bagua - Double Palm Strike!"

With the spell fully powered by magic, Negi's attack was no less powerful than the full-force strike of someone who had trained their inner strength for over a decade, instantly sending Slam flying.

After knocking Slam away, Negi immediately reunited with Kotaro, who immediately asked with a laugh, "Wow! What kind of move was that, Negi?"

Negi, who was back-to-back with Kotaro, immediately said, "This is the complete version of the magic supply spell!"

When Kotaro heard Negi say that, he immediately shook his head and said, "No! I meant your martial arts. What style is that? The movements are so strange!"

Negi immediately smiled and said, "It's Chinese martial arts. I'm currently learning both Bajiquan and Baguazhang..."

Kotaro immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha! Chinese boxing! Not bad!" As he spoke, the two of them were already engaged in a melee with the slime trio.

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

While Negi and Kotaro were fighting the three slimes, Konoka, who was imprisoned in the water dungeon, suddenly showed a happy expression and shouted with a smile, "Brother Ten!"

Upon hearing Konoka's voice, Hermann frowned and asked, "She's here?"

Then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a peculiar magic circle suddenly appeared outside the water prison. With a flash of pink light, I stepped out of the magic circle.

As I stepped out of the magic circle, I immediately smiled and said to Konoka inside the water prison, "Good evening, Konoka!"

Munaika immediately smiled and said, "Good evening, Brother Tian!"

Upon seeing me, Waka exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! Mr. Kuchiki!"

Asakura Kazumi immediately said with a smile, "Kuchiki-sensei, please save us!"

After they finished speaking, I immediately asked with a puzzled expression, "Save you..."

Asuna, who was being held captive, immediately exclaimed excitedly upon seeing me, "Kuchiki-sensei, when did you get here? Never mind that... hurry up and take care of this lecherous baron!"

Looking at Asuna hanging not far from me, I immediately smiled and said, "Asuna, um... why are you dressed like this and staying in a place like this?"

As soon as I finished speaking, both Asuna and the other women imprisoned in the water dungeon looked at their own bodies in unison, and then simultaneously let out a shrill scream: "Ah!!"

I immediately covered my ears, and looking at Kaori and the other girls who were desperately hiding behind Konoka, and Asuna who was standing there bewildered, I complained softly, "Why are you yelling so loudly..."

"Don't look!!" After struggling for a while, Asuna could only shout with a red face.

At the same time, Herman, who was standing in front of Asuna, looked at me and said again, "Long time no see!"

Hearing him say that, the smile on my face immediately vanished, and I looked at him coldly and said, "Yes, it's been six years!"

Chapter 267 Negi's Battle

Hearing what Herman and I were talking about, all the girls couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh?"

Negi and Kotaro, who were fighting the slime, couldn't help but shout "Ah!" after defeating the slime.

"Brother, do you really know him?" Negi asked doubtfully as he slapped the slime away.

Kotaro shouted, "Hey, you amazing 'Miracle Child' brother, hurry up and tell that old man to release Chizuru-neechan!"

Hearing what Negi and Kotaro said, Hermann smiled slightly and said to me, "Are you going to stop me again?"

I slowly shifted my gaze from Negi and Kotaro back to Hellman and said, "If I were to make a move, you would be dead already, but..." As I spoke, I walked towards Asuna.

Seeing me walk toward Asuna, Herman instantly appeared beside me with a 'teleportation' and punched me in the temple.

"Boom!" A sound of energy colliding rang out, and a powerful shockwave instantly swept out from where my fists and Herman's fists met, pushing away all the surrounding rainwater before returning to normal.

I was already standing less than a meter in front of Asuna, my right hand tightly gripping Herman's right fist, my face expressionless. With my free left hand, I slowly reached towards the necklace around Asuna's neck and continued, "But... you have to pay the price for everything you did on that snowy night six years ago!" As I spoke, I directly ripped the necklace off Asuna's neck.

My voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone present. Except for Kotaro, who looked puzzled, everyone else looked shocked. Negi's expression instantly turned to anger, and his eyes became extremely cold!

Upon seeing Negi's transformation, Kotaro exclaimed in surprise, "Negi, you..." As he spoke, the three slime trio, who had been repelled, charged forward again, attacking Negi, who stood motionless in place.

"Negi, get out of the way!" Kotaro shouted immediately.

Just as the slimes were about to attack Negi, Negi suddenly threw out the sealing bottle used to seal demons and chanted the incantation, "Sealing bottle!" A magic circle immediately lit up around the sealing bottle, and then the three slimes were sucked into the bottle.

After Negi sealed the slime, I looked at Herman, whom I had subdued, and said calmly, "Your subordinates have been dealt with, and the sealing bottle is no longer usable. If you don't want to be killed by me, then fight Negi and the others!" After saying that, I released Herman's right hand.

After I let go, Hermann smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill Negi?"

After Herman finished speaking, I just sneered and said, "Hmph, you try it!" With that, I directly severed the tentacle that was suspending Asuna.

Meanwhile, Negi had already clashed with Herman. At this point, Negi's magic power and speed were far superior to before. So, right from the start, Negi appeared in front of Herman in a flash, lunged forward, and threw a punch. A powerful burst of magic power erupted from his fist, sending Herman flying nearly ten meters into the air. This was the ultimate move of Bajiquan, "Standing Cannon Soaring to the Sky."

As Negi launched Herman into the air, he immediately leaped up, rushing to Herman's side and placing his hands on his chest. A visible beam of light shot from his hands, propelling Herman's body upwards once more. Then, Negi stepped off the ground, and a burst of magic erupted from beneath his feet, sending his falling body hurtling towards Herman like a rocket.

Upon seeing Negi's actions, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Void Teleportation!"

At the same time, a compass-like object formed by magic appeared around Negi's body as he rushed towards Herman. Then Negi shouted, "Eight Trigrams - Sixty-Four Palms!" and placed his hands on Herman's body.

Accompanied by the sound of collision, Negi's soft chant rang out: "Four palms... eight palms... twelve palms... sixteen palms..."

With Negi's attack, Herman's body was gradually thrown into the air, eventually reaching a height of nearly twenty meters above the ground.

"...Chapter Sixty-Four!" As Negi shouted out the last few words, Hermann was once again thrown nearly ten meters into the air.

Having withstood all of Negi's attacks, Hermann shouted excitedly, "Hahahaha... This is fantastic! I've been wanting to see this! Now you're worthy of being Thousandmaster's son!" He instantly reverted to his full demon form, spreading his wings and hovering in mid-air, looking at Negi as he continued, "It's been amazing to fight you, to see such perfect talent utterly destroyed by me... This is the pleasure I enjoy!" With that, he opened his mouth, and a visible gray light began to gather from it, then shot out like a shockwave towards the pursuing Negi.

Upon seeing the perilous situation, the women I had rescued immediately shouted, "Negi!!"

At this crucial moment, I spoke up and said, "Binding Path Eighty-One: Severing Emptiness!"
