"Tsssk I didn't think the two boys managed to trick me and then ran away," Clone Evangeline said with an annoyed look on her face. "But fine, this way I can play around with the two of them a bit longer. I'll let the two of them rest for at least two or three days then I'll look for them both."
After that, the Evangeline Clone flew into the air and disappeared into the darkness of the night sky.
In a shopping center that only a few kilometers from the ravaged battleground. Negi and Kotarou are currently resting, inside a building that is a grocery store. Both Negi and Kotarou were in very bad shape, their bodies were running out of stamina and full of wounds.
Even just by moving one finger, both of their bodies would feel excruciating pain.
"To be honest Negi, I haven't had a fight as tough as we have in the past ten days," Kotarou said whose body was lying on a futon on the tatami floor. "My stamina is almost completely drained and the magic energy and ki in my body are completely depleted."
"Plus our bodies are full of wounds that make our bodies hurt if we move them just a little," Negi said who was lying on the sofa next to Kotarou. "And you know what annoys Kotarou the most, the clone of Master doesn't take us seriously at all when she fights us."
"Well, because the difference in strength is too big between us and her," Kotarou said. "Right now we're safe, because I've put a paper talisman on the front door of this building that will hide our existence. So for now, it's best if we rest our bodies to recover our stamina, and try to understand what 'Magia Erebea' is."

Negi Springfield was currently lying on a sofa, thinking very hard. What exactly is Magia Erebea? The ultimate technique created by Evangeline A.K. Mc Dowell that can increase a person's strength many times over. Negi is still confused by what Evangeline's clone said to him during the battle, if he already understands what Magia Erebea means.
But Negi, doesn't really understand what Evangeline's clone is saying. Because until now, he had not been able to use the Magia Erebea displayed by Evangeline outside the forbidden scroll. What does Evangeline actually mean?
What exactly is Magia Erebea? And what must he and Kotarou have to do to understand and use it? Shen Negi asks Nagi's clone what exactly is Magia Erebea, Nagi's clone only replies that Magia Erebea is the ability to receive. But what should he accept? Because Nagi's clone didn't fully explain, Negi didn't understand Clone Nagi's explanation at all.
He had also tried to tell Kotarou about Nagi's explanation. But Kotarou was the same as Negi, not understanding at all what Magia Erebea meant was the ability to receive. Shirou's his older brother can master Magia Erebea in a very short time, but how can Shirou understand Magia Erebea? Is it in the same way as their father, or in a different way?
Negi really wants to know, the way to understand Magia Erebea explained by Nagi and how Shirou mastered Magia Erebea quickly. But Negi understands that the way every human understands things is different. So he knew that he couldn't use Nagi and Shirou's methods to understand Magia Erebea. He had to use his own way.

After falling asleep, for a whole day Negi and Kotarou were finally able to recover their lost stamina and magical energy. There was no food in another dimension in the forbidden scroll, but Negi and Kotarou always carried food in the dimensional pouch that Shirou had made for them. So food is not a big problem.
Moreover, the food they brought was enough to eat for several years. After they finished filling their stomachs that had not been filled for more than ten days, Negi and Kotarou felt very satisfied. Simple happiness like eating food to the brim was something fun for Negi and Kotarou.
"Although our stamina has both recovered, so has our ki and magical energy. But the wounds on our bodies still haven't healed at all," Kotarou said while holding his stomach full of food. "I think it's best if we stay quiet for a while in this building, then we can try again to fight Master Evangeline."
"Good idea, but what should we do while we recover from our injuries?" Ask Negi. "Couldn't we just sit quietly doing nothing but eat and pee? It would be very boring and sickening, what's more I don't have any books in my dimensional pocket to pass the time."
"Good question Negi," Answered Kotarou. "Because frankly I'm the same as you don't know what to do while we wait for the wounds on the body to heal."
"How about we do a battle simulation in our mind like Shirou-Nii taught us!?" Negi said looking excited. "That way we can have the right strategy against Master, or maybe even understand the Magia Erebea."

On a very high cliff not far from Ostia. Fate Averruncus stood looking at the uninhabitable ruins of Ostia, where magic, Ki or electronic devices could not be used. Making the ruins a place that is almost impossible for humans to inhabit.
"The ruins of Ostia, the capital of the ruined kingdom of Vespertatia," Fate said with an emotionless face. "Soon the abandoned capital will come back to life with the power of Arika Entheofushia the wife of the Thousand Masters and the power of the Imperial Princess of Twilight. By using those two powers, then Ialda-Sama will be able to revive."
"Fate-kun everything we've done so far has gone very smoothly and all we have to do is wait for the magic energy to accumulate for another three weeks," Said One of Fate's comrades who wearing a hood. "The problem now is that we don't know where the Imperial Princess of Twilight is."
"For that matter, I've left it to Tsukuyomi," Fate said. "So you don't have to bother yourself trying to find Kagurazaka Asuna, the plan taht going too smoothly is really boring me, I hope there's something I can do to relieve this tedious boredom."
"How about you get rid of that boredom, by fighting me Fate?" Asked Tsukuyomi asked who currently has a long scar on her face and she wears glasses that are glued with duct tape. right now she already looks like the female version of Harry Potte* except foe her hair. "I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of your boredom."
"Sorry but I refuse," Fate said. "Because it's obvious that you're not my opponent Tsukuyomi. Instead of asking me to fight, I need your report Tsukuyomi's How about your task of finding Kagurazaka Asuna?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Kagurazaka Asuna and Setsuna-Senpai have already met with Konoka-Sama and Kaede Nagase and are currently walking to new Ostia," Tsukuyomi replied. "And it's likely the two of them will make it to new Ostia in two weeks' time. But I think the four of them will have a hard time getting into new Ostia, because right now they are all fugitives. I think they will take advantage of the slack of guard during the festival to get into new Ostia."
"Good job Tsukuyomi," Fate said. "Continue your surveillance on the four of them."
"But if I just watched I'd die of boredom!" Tsukuyomi shouted as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I really want to fight Setsuna-Senpai and that tall ninja!"
"Just be patient, Tsukuyomi," Fate said. "Because in a few weeks your wish will come true. And in that time, you can rampage as you please and kill the two girls until you're satisfied."
