"It really is you, you're finally back! You're really alive, that's great, Yoshino. You're not dead!" Seeing Yoshino's delicate little face, Ryuudou finally couldn't hold back his excitement and went up to hug Yoshino. Seeing Ryuudou's eyes turn a little red, Yoshino gently patted Ryuudou's back.
"Haha, alright, alright, I didn't expect you to have become like this now. You were such a handsome young man back then, and now you've become a weathered uncle. But you look exactly like Kato back then. I think you must be imitating Kato, right?" Yoshino said with a smile, her gaze at Kagurazaka Asuna a little dazed. She had seen all of Asuna's performance just now. It was really nice that the puppet-like girl who had no vitality back then could smile like this now.
Negi and the two others behind Ryuudou couldn't help but be stunned by Yoshino's ethereal appearance. They looked at the blue-haired girl, as beautiful as a French doll, and marveled at her looks. Although she held a very comical puppet in her left hand, this did not detract from her beauty. It seemed to further accentuate the Little Girl's cuteness.
Ryuudou fell silent after hearing Yoshino's words, his mood darkening as he thought of his master Kato's death. He was too weak back then, otherwise his master Kato wouldn't have died. If Nagi had still been around then, this wouldn't have happened, right? It was all because of that damned war! That damned Elder Council!
"I'll tell you about these things later, Yoshino. Now is not the time to talk about such things. You must have gotten information about the present from someone, right? Then you should know that the child over there is Nagi's son, Negi." After composing himself, Ryuudou pointed at the dazed Negi and said to Yoshino.
"Ah, I know. I feel Nagi's presence and Princess Erica's royal magic on him. It seems those two got together just as I thought. It's just, I didn't expect them to both be missing now. Nagi said he was the strongest, but he still went missing." Yoshino said somewhat helplessly. He was someone who could even defeat the First Generation Magician, so why did things turn out this way? What happened during the more than ten years she was asleep?
"But that should be Asuna, right? Ryuudou. But why? Asuna was so smart when she was little, why has she become like this now?" Yoshino asked, somewhat puzzled. Just now, when she saw Konoe Konoka successfully trick Kagurazaka Asuna into barking like a dog, Yoshino felt very uneasy. You know, back then, Asuna was so smart that she could instantly learn the 'Xian Gua Method,' which was an extremely difficult technique to cultivate, and she had learned it back then. How could she have become so stupid now?
"Uh~ My master asked me to take care of her before he died. Also, she is now called Kagurazaka Asuna. I followed my master's instructions and erased her previous memories." Ryuudou whispered to Yoshino. He also felt very helpless about Kagurazaka Asuna becoming like this. He had only sealed her memories, but why did it cause such a chain reaction?
"Oh my~ It seems your technique isn't up to par, Xiao Ryuudou. While sealing Asuna's memories, you also sealed all her brain cells." Yoshinon speculated with a hint of malice. "That won't do, Xiao Ryuudou. How can you do something you're not confident about? See, now something big has happened, hasn't it?"
"Ahahaha~ I'm really sorry about that." Ryuudou scratched his forehead, smiling somewhat sheepishly. While he wasn't sure if it was related, it probably was. "But as long as she's happy now, not living like a doll as before, it means my efforts are paying off."
"Let's go to the Headmaster's office first. Today is the first day of school, and we've already wasted a lot of time here. Plus, it's not good for Asuna to be naked here." With that, Ryuudou revealed a gentle smile and led the way for Yoshino, followed by a flustered Negi, a naked Kagurazaka Asuna, and a spectating Konoe Konoka.
In the Mahora Academy Headmaster's office, Yoshino couldn't help but feel a little curious. The entire academy was almost the size of a medium-sized city, yet the Headmaster had his office in the girls' junior high section. Establishing it in the university section or building a separate structure would better reflect the Headmaster's authority. Was there some other purpose?
At this moment, in the Headmaster's office, Kagurazaka Asuna, who had changed into a gym uniform at some point, was questioning the Headmaster: "Headmaster... what exactly is going on?"
"Asuna, calm down first." The radish-headed Headmaster quickly placated Asuna. After listening to Negi's account, the radish-headed Headmaster stroked his beard and said, "So you came to a school in the island nation to be a teacher for your training. That's truly a demanding task, ha ha ha!"
"Yes, please guide me!" Negi respectfully said.
"However, you should first undergo an educational internship. So... from today until March!" At this point, the originally serious radish-headed Headmaster suddenly changed his tone, chuckling, "By the way... Negi, do you have a girlfriend? Would you like to date my granddaughter?"
"Grandpa, you're so annoying!" Konoka chuckled, pulling out a small hammer from who knows where and repeatedly tapping the radish-head's head. Konoka whispered, "I'm still little!"
"Oh ho ho..." The radish-head gave a strange laugh, then looked at Yoshino, who was standing to the side and had taken off her sun hat, and said. This was a very important person, and if there weren't so many people here right now, he might have done something that would compromise the Headmaster's dignity. However, he still deliberately asked Yoshino, "I almost forgot we have a guest here. You are..."
