Negi and Kotarou were currently doing a sparring match, in front of Nagi and Rakan who were in charge of physically training the two. Due to their knowledge of magical theory were below Evangeline, who was hundreds of years older. Of course, when the two were training Negi and Kotarou, they also didn't forget to give advice based on their own experiences when Negi and Kotarou ran into a bit of a problem.
So far, the sparring between Negi and Kotarou has been balanced. Because they both have the same level of strength. After fighting for more than twenty minutes, Negi and Kotarou decided to stop. Because apart from both of them being exhausted, they felt it was pointless to continue a stalemate fight when there would be no victor.
"The development of the two of them isn't too bad, but not too good either," Rakan said who was engrossed in eating the popcorn he had brought with him so he could enjoy Negi and Kotarou's fight. "I guess that's a good thing, because getting strong too soon isn't good for either of them."
"But Negi and Kotarou decided to learn Magia Erebea, Eva's forbidden technique that even you and I haven't mastered perfectly even though we've studied it before," Nagi said with a sad face because he didn't want Negi or Kotarou to learn Magia Erebea. "Magia Erebea is not a technique that a child like the two of them should learn."
"Magia Erebea is a forbidden technique that will grant immortality to the user, when the user of the technique has reached the highest level," Rakan with a very serious look on his face. "In other words if someone who has mastered Magia Erebea completely, he or she will lose their humanity and become a Daywalker vampire like Evangeline. That's the reason the two of us can't master Magia Erebea perfectly, because we still want to remain human."

"So Kotarou and Negi decided to study Magia Erebea huh," Shirou said who made contact with Evangeline using the visual communication magic created by Albiero Imma. "If the two of them can use it well, they will be able to become very strong. But have you told the two of them the side effects if they both manage to master the technique completely?"
"Of course not," Evangeline said with a grin. "Let the two of them figure it out for themselves. I, Nagi and Rakan have already warned them that there is a price to pay for gaining great power in such a short time. But they don't seem to want to listen and choose to study it anyway because they think the Magia Erebea I showed is really cool."
"A stupid little kid will always be astupid little kid, there are still many things that neither of them can understand," Rin said who was standing right next to Shirou. "It's only natural that they think the Magia Erebea you showed looks cool, it does look like a flashy technique that only exists in games or anime. Eva-chan actually what you were thinking when you made that technique."
"Well whatever happens to the two of them, it's their own responsibility. Because it's the two of them who want to learn Magia Erebea themselves," Evangeline said. "Of course I will help the two of them in case they both fail in the initial process of mastering the Erebea Magia, those two boys are my students, so there's no way I'll just let them both die."
"Well, it's good that you have the intention to protect those two," Shirou said who breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Evangeline wanted to protect Kotarou and Negi from harm. "Because it's impossible for the two of them to be able to learn Magia Erebea perfectly like me, who can resist the side effects of that technique."

"Don't confuse the two of them with you Shirou," Evangeline said. "Did you forget that your physical condition is very special? You have the strength and body of the most powerful vampire in the world. That's why the side effects of Magia Erebea won't have any effect on you at all. In fact, Magia Erebea will increase your vampire strength many times over."
"Eh, sorry I sometimes forget that I inherited all of Alucard's powers, including his near perfect immortality," Shirou said with a flushed face as he rubbed the back of his head. "But are you sure that the two of them will succeed in learning Magia Erebea? I alone can withstand the side effects of Magia Erebea because of my body but are they both can withstand the torture they must to feel because of the training."
"Well, that's right, it took me more than three months stuck in my own mind so I can master the basic technique of Magia Erebea," Rin said with cold sweat dripping down her cheeks. "The ability to accept yourself as you are isn't easy. Especially since they can both be said to have pretty bad pasts, it's possible that the two of them will have a hard time going through what I had to."
"Stop worrying about those two boys," Evangeline shouted. "You two spoil the two brats too much, if you two continue like that, when will the two of them become more mature!"
"Both of us have never spoiled them, both Evangeline-san," Shirou said, disapproving of Evangeline's words. "If Rin and I spoiled Negi and Kotarou, the two of them would definitely not be as strong as they are now."
"But the two of you never trained the two of them to a level that required them both to face life and death circumstances," Evangeline said. "As for me, doing that to the two of them. Something neither of you dared to do at all."

After Evangeline and Shirou stopped communicating, Evangeline took out her forbidden scroll which contained a way to learn Magia Erebea. The forbidden scroll that Shirou had copied when Shirou saw the prototype of the forbidden scroll at Evangeline's villa. The scroll contained masterpieces she had created over the years, something that made her one of the most feared wizards in the world.
In the depths of her heart, she absolutely did not want to use the scroll of Magia Erebea. Because the scroll was extremely dangerous, for anyone other than herdelf or anyone else of equal strength to herself. Sven the immortal Evangeline nearly died when she perfected Magia Erebea's.
But this time, she wanted to do something a little different, something else. Something she was sure would be able to give herself a chance to make Magia Erebea evolve to be even stronger than before. That's why Evangeline didn't hesitate to let Kotarou and Negi learn Magia Erebea.
The two of them were suitable guinea pigs, for Evangeline to know the side effects of Magia Erebea on ordinary humans and demi-demons. Evangeline has gotten a lot of data from Rin, Nagi and Rakan because the three of them are ordinary humans who managed to master Magia Erebea without being killed. (In Rakan's case he is a bit special because he basically comes from a long-lived humanoid race)
But Evangeline felt that the data she wanted was not enough. That's why she needed data from Negi and Kotarou. The two of them were still children and had not yet entered puberty, and their magic cores were also not fully developed. So even Evangeline herself doesn't know what will happen to Negi and Kotarou when they learn Magia Erebea.
Kotarou and Negi could have died or experienced something far worse than death, but he would never let that happen to Kotarou and Negi. Because no matter how bad she was, she would never allow a kid like Negi and Kotarou to die because of her. Evangeline isn't a bad witch by nature, but she's also not a good witch because sometimes she does bad things to get what she wants. And she's not proud at all doing that..
