'I can't find an opening at all to counter his attack!' Negi said who was enduring excruciating pain from the wound that was caused by Kagetaro counterattack. 'If it weren't for the training I did with Shirou-Nii, Master and Kotarou right now I would have died with my body torn apart! Because his shadow sword can directly pierce the five layers of the magic wall I've created! He's much stronger than Setsuna-san or Kaede-san!'
In a place not far from where Negi was fighting, when Shirou and Chisame saw Negi's badly injured condition, Chisame looked a little panicked.
While Shirou though felt a bit worried when he saw his younger brother injured, but he didn't move closer to Negi and tried to help him. Because for Shirou the fight between Negi and Kagetaro is something good for Negi so he can gain experience in a life-threatening battle.
"Hey Shirou-kun right now your brother is being beaten so badly that he have a serious injured," Chisame said with a face that looked panicked. "Is it okay if you don't help him at all?"
"It's okay, because if Negi keeps relying on my help. Then he will never get stronger," Shirou said. "Besides this is a good opportunity for him so he have more fighting experience."
"Wow wah wah as Eva said, the boy's abilities are decent. But because he's not as talented as his older brother. He struggles against a level B enemy like Kagetaro," Rakan said who noticed the very one-sided battle between Negi and Kagetaro. "It's a miracle that boy can reach level C at the age of ten with such meager talent."

'Right now the enemy in front of me, is a very formidable foe!' Negi's face is currently looking very tense and excited. Because the chance to fight an enemy with a power far stronger than him was a very rare opportunity. 'And I can get stronger if I manage to beat him!'
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Negi let out all the magic power and ki in his body in one breath using Kankaho. Causing a terrifying energy to appear.
'That brat has so much magic energy and ki!' Kagetaro said while attacking Negi using his six shadow swords that were moving towards Negi. 'What a terrifying boy! If he has experience and fighting ability that surpasses mine I'll be the one to lose!'
Negi jumped up and sped up towards Kagetaro, while dodging the six shadow swords that chasing him. The shadow sword's speed was much faster than Negi's, so when the shadow sword nearly hurt his body Negi did a spin to avoid the shadow sword. Negi made such a complex evasion move that the six shadow swords chasing him became tied like a ropes, giving Negi an opportunity for Xuxong Shundong to get close to Kagetaro.
'The flying lessons given by Master and Setsuna-san are very useful!' Negi said with cold sweat trickling down his cheeks. 'Otherwise it would have been very difficult for me to dodge that attack just now!'
"Centum Lanceae Umbrae!"
A much larger number of shadow swords than before shot towards Negi who was almost in front of Kagetaro.
[Emittam Imperfectus Ensis Exsequens!]
Negi is forced to use high-level magic that can be used to destroy enemy weapons, but because the magic he uses isn't perfect he can't completely annihilate Kagetaro's shadow sword.

"Hmm that boy used Eva's technique, but it's a shame he used it so carelessly, that Kagetaro shadow sword wasn't completely destroyed and only became a small fragments like that," Jack Rakan said who looked disappointed with Negi. "But I think he is a very suitable material for me to train!"
When Negi is right in front of Kagetaro, he intends to use Raika Houken to defeat Kagetaro. But unfortunately, the remnant of the shadow sword that he didn't manage to destroy managed to catch up and cut off his right hand. To the extent that a piece of his right hand fell to the ground. Not only that, Negi's left chest was also pierced by Kagetaro's shadow sword.
"You're such a disappointment, Nagi," Kagetaro said. "I thought you were as strong as the Thousand Masters, but it turns out you're just a swindler with a face similar to the Thousand Masters."
"I haven't lost yet!" Negi shouted while gathering a huge amount of magical energy in his left hand. "I still have this left hand to beat you!"
'He can still accumulate such a large amount of magical energy at a time like this!' Kagetaro said. 'Plus using the Triple Direct Spell with such a large amount of magical energy! His fighting talent was indeed far below average, but his talent in using magic was far above normal! I have to quickly drop it or else it will hit me! And that would be very dangerous!'
"Negi, you better stop with your current strength you won't be able to defeat that shadow user," Shirou said who finally decided to stop Negi, because the conditions of the fight between Negi and Kagetaro had gotten worse. Shirou holds Kagetaro shadow sword with Kanshou and he blocks Negi's fist with his right hand.

"You, who are you!" Shouted Kagetaro who was surprised to see Shirou who was currently using his true form, but was not recognized by anyone. Because he made himself look a few years older. "Why are you interfering with my fight with Nagi!"
"Hmm, Me? I'm just a hero of justice who happened to be passing by," Shirou said while kicking Kagetaro in the stomach. "Please remember that!"
*qoutes from Kamen rider Decade
Shirou's kick to Kagetaro was so hard to the point Kagetaro fainted in an instant and made him unable to get up again.
"Shi-Shirou-Nii, why did you suddenly stop my fight with him!" Shouted Negi who was annoyed that his fight with Kagetaro was interrupted. "A little more and I can beat him!"
"You won't be able to beat him Negi, the difference in your strength with him is too big," Shirou said. "Besides, when he fought you earlier he wasn't serious at all, if he was serious your body would have been dismembered into hundreds of pieces."
"Uuugh," Negi said while holding his badly injured right arm. "That means I still have to do more training!"
"Sigh, take the severed part of your arm and drink the Elixir I gave you just in case, before your wound gets worse," Shirou said with a sigh. "And how long are you going to hide on that roof, The thousand swords Rakan!"
"Tsk even though I've been trying to hide my presence as best I can," Rakan said who appeared from the roof where he was watching the fight between Negi and Kagetaro. "But you can find me easily, your power level is very different from your little brother"
"You could have stopped the fight between Negi and that Kagetaro from the start right, because you were here before me," Shirou said with a face that looked very angry. "But why do you look happy to see Negi and Kagetaro's fight, don't tell me you planned the fight?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"If so, why?" Asked Rakan. "I just wanted to test the strength of Nagi second son. Who turns out to be a lot weaker than I thought, but if I train him maybe he can become stronger!"
"The way you test my little brother's strength is too extreme you know," Shirou said as he raised multiple swords in the air using tracing and fired them at Rakan. "And I don't like it at all!"
Rakan who saw the sword that appeared in front of Shirou, could immediately understand how dangerous the swords that Shirou shoot out to him, because of that Rakan took out his artifact Ho Heros Meta Chilion Prosopon that could make any weapon he imagined and making a sword in te same number as the number of swords Shirou had raised to withstand Shirou's attacks.
Seeing his attack being held back by Rakan.
Shirou didn't feel surprised. Because he already knew about the power of a Rakan artifact. But Shirou knew that he could make weapons much faster than, Rakan. Therefore he did not feel afraid to Rakan at all.
"The artifact that can be used to spawn any weapon you want: Ho Heros Meta Chillion Prosopon is great, but your speed at summoning weapons is much slower than mine!" Shirou shouted while tracing more swords. "You won't be able to beat me with that artifact of yours! Jacobus Rakan!"
