"Oooh, the two flowers in Mahora Budokai, Sakurazaki Setsuna and Kagurazaka Asuna has arrived!" Kasumi said. "The two of them are wearing cute maid outfits, to giving the viewers a beautiful services!"
"Kasumi!" shouted Asuna who was enduring the embarrassment of the maid outfit she was wearing to the point of her tears streaming down. "After this match is over I will teach you a lesson!"
"Hey, don't blame me," said Kasumi who was feeling frightened by Asuna's threat. "You and Setsuna wearing maid clothes is Chao's idea to enliven Mahora Budokai's stiff atmosphere!"
"At least let me wear shorts so my underwear won't show!" Asuna said.
"You don't need to worry Asuna," said Kasumi. "Because cameras aren't allowed inside the Tatsumiya shrine grounds!"
"Hey Setsuna I was eavesdropping on the conversation of the two of you in the dressing room," said Evangeline. "Kagurazaka Asuna is challenging you to fight over Shirou? Is she is stupid there's no way she can win against you!"
"I already know that Evangeline-sama," said Setsuna. "No need to say it out loud!"
"Hehehehe you two should not underestimate Asuna."
Evangeline was completely shocked at the voice that suddenly appeared and commented on her conversation with Setsuna. And Evangeline recognized the voice very well.
And the figure of the owner of the voice, Albiero Imma alias Colonel Sanders, appeared behind Asuna.
"Eh," said Asuna who was surprised by the appearance of Albiero behind her. "You're the one who beat Kotaro-kun, right, why did you suddenly appear behind me!"
Albiero just smiled and rubbed Asuna's head with his palm.
"Wait! What are you doing!" Said Asuna who was shocked to have her head rubbed.
"Albiero!" Shouted Evangeline. "Where have you been all this time!"
"Hehe after not seeing you from such a close distance for a long time, I don't think I can believe that you, who used to be like an emotionless doll. Can grow up to be a cheerful and energetic girl," said Albiero. "Even being blessed with so many friends, Gatou's decision to leave you with Takamichi was right."
"Who are you!" Asuna said. "And what did you mean by that!"
"I can't explain who I am and what is the meaning of my word right now Asuna," said Albiero. "But I will give you my advice that can help in your match."
"Advice?" Asuna said. "What kind of advice?"
"When you get a supply of magical energy from Shirou-san, clear your mind and calm yourself," said Albiero. "Then you can do the same thing with Takamichi, namely Kankaho."
"Eh, I can do Kankaho like Takahata-Sensei," said Asuna. "Who are you! And why do you want to help me!"
"Albiero!" Shouted Evangeline. "Answer my question earlier!"
Unfortunately Albiero suddenly disappeared and his presence could not be felt.
"Eva-chan, who exactly is that person?" Asuna asked.
"His name is Albiero Imma," replied Evangeline. "And he is one of Nagi best friends, the father of the two brother!"
"Just call me Colonel Sanders," said Albiero, who appeared suddenly behind Evangeline. "I don't like my real name being mentioned like that."
"Stop joking that Al!" Evangeline said. "Answer my question! Where have you been all this time! And what do you know about Asuna!"
"I can't tell you right now, Evangeline," said Albiero. "So for now just consider what I know about Asuna, a secret."
'Tch! His annoying nature really surpasses Nagi! ' Evangeline said.

"What the hell is that strange person," said Asuna who spoke to herself as she walked onto the arena. 'Talking about things I don't understand or know, plus he's a friend of Shirou-kun father.'
"That guy isn't an ordinary person," said Setsuna. 'After all he is a friend of Shirou-sama father, that means he is also a friend of Eishun-sama. Besides what he said earlier, ah! Don't think about unnecessary things Setsuna! Focus on your fight with Asuna. '
"Asuna-Nee and Setsuna-Nee's match will start soon, Negi!" Kotaro said. "But if you watch it in the special stands for the participants, the battle is not clearly visible! Let's watch it from a clearer place!"
"Let's go!" Negi said. "Because I also want to see this seventh match more clearly."
The two of them then came out of the special stands for participants, and looked for another place to watch.
"That two boys seemed try acting mature," said Rin who saw Kotaro and Negi leaving. "But in fact they are still 100% small children."
"You're right Rin-Dono," said Kaede. "They both are a kid still de Gozaru."

"Hey, Negi this place is not too crowded, after all its position is at the very front!" Kotaro said. "Here we can watch better!"
"Okay!" Negi said. "Come on, let's sit down!"
'Aaaah!' Said Chisame who covered her face with laptop. 'Why are those two unlucky brats sitting next to me !!'
"Allright!" Asuna said. "Let's start the match Setsuna-san!"
"Okay!" Said Setsuna with a smile.
When Asuna was about to attack Setsuna, suddenly a voice appeared in her head.
'Asuna clear your mind,' said Albiero who spoke telepathically to Asuna. Then you will be able to match Setsuna's ability.
'I know!' Asuna said. "Stop talking in my head!"
"Now!" Kasumi said. "Let the seventh match begins!"
"Hasegawa-san, did you come to watch Mahora Budokai?" Asked Negi who saw Chisame who was right next to him.
"Shirou-kun gave his Mahora Budokai ticket to me because he couldn't come to watch Mahora Budokai," said Chisame. "Because I don't have anything to do, I think it doesn't hurt to watch Mahora Budokai."
"Shirou-Nii does have other activities to do so he can't follow Mahora Budokai or be a spectator," said Negi.
"Is that so?" Chisame said. "Too bad."
Chisame actually wants to ask Negi about all the martial arts moves that defy the laws of physics that he did in his fight with Takamichi is real or not. But she didn't ask because she thought the atmosphere wasn't right now.
Outside the Tatsumiya shrine, Taiga and Sakura were trying to get into the shrine to watch the match. But because there were so many people lining up to enter the shrine, it was difficult for both of them to enter
"Fujimura-Sensei, if there are this many people willing to watch, how are we supposed to get inside the shrine?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know Sakura," Taiga replied. "If only we had arrived earlier, we wouldn't have to wait in queue like this."
"It can't be helped," said Sakura. "The cooking club members are completely unreliable and selfish, so both of us have to keep the cooking club stand all morning. Luckily Satsuki-san, came on time. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to come to this shrine to watch Mahora Budokai."
"Yup, Satsuki-chan is such a good girl!" Taiga said while shedding tears.

Setsuna's broomstick and Asuna's harisen clashed, and beyond what Setsuna expected, Asuna can match equally against her this time.
"Asuna can keep up with me?" Said Setsuna.
"How can I keep up with Setsuna?" Asuna said. 'I don't know why I can match Setsuna-san, but I will continue to attack Setsuna-san so I can find an opening!'
"The seventh match between participant Asuna and participant Setsuna is really thrilling!" Kasumi said. "The two are perfectly had the same strength!"
Once again Asuna and Setsuna clashed with each other, stabs, slashes to the front and the side. Both of them repeatedly attacked with different styles but both of them were evenly matched. Setsuna then try to attack Asuna with brute power to make Asuna lose her footing but Asuna with her reflexes and power which increased quickly could withstand Setsuna attack.
'Was it because of the hooded man's advices?' Asuna said. 'So I can keep up with Setsuna-san's speed like this!'
'Asuna's speed increased again! This time she can keep up with my speed! ' Said Setsuna. 'Likewise hef physical strength is really shocking!'
Asuna and Setsuna were fighting in a draw, when neither of them wanted to budge. Because the battles they fought put each other's pride at stake.
"This is totally unexpected!" Kasumi said. "The two female contestants who were wearing maid outfits showed the same extraordinary movements we saw in the previous match!"
"Asuna-san is great, I never thought she could match Setsuna-san!" said Negi who looked excited to see Asuna who showed extraordinary movements.
'Asuna-san sure is great! Her movements were nothing compared to those from training with me and Shirou-sama, 'What exactly happened? What made her progress this fast! '
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Why is Kagurazaka Asuna able to move like that!" Shouted Evangeline who was surprised to see Asuna's extraordinary performance. "How absurd!"
"Hehe that is Asuna's true ability," said Albiero. "She is indeed a very talented girl in martial arts."
"You must have done something to Asuna earlier!" Evangeline said.
"I didn't do anything," said Albiero. "I just gave Asuna a little motivation."
"Tch, you liar," said Evangeline. "You are the same as old troll Zelretch, your very annoying teacher!"
"My teacher will be very pleased with your compliment Evangeline," said Albiero. "Want to bet who will win little Asuna or Setsuna?"
"Okay!" Evangeline said. "Because whatever happens, Setsuna can't lose! Mention the stakes!"
"Information regarding Nagi if I lose," said Albiero. "And you have to do whatever I say if you lose."
"You can- ! Information about Nagi you said!" Evangeline said.
"That's right, information regarding Nagi," said Albiero. "The thing that you really want!"
