章 232: Chapter 232 - Magia Erebea 5
After three days of rest to recover stamina and heal wounds, Kotarou and Negi are once again ready to take on Evangeline. And after simulating the battle in their minds, they finally started to understand what Magia Erebea was.
And thanks to that, both of them experienced quite a significant increase in strength. Right now Kotarou and Negi were ready to fight Evangeline once again.
Just as Negi and Kotarou came out of the shopping center where the two of them were hiding. Evangeline is already standing in a tall building not far from the shopping center. With her sharp eyesight as a vampire, she could see Negi and Kotarou very clearly.
"They're both doing such a good thing because they've been able to hide themselves from me for three days," Clone Evangeline said with a grin. "But those two are indeed little brats who still lack experience . Although they managed to hide the sign of their magical energy, using bounded field but both of them forgot to hide the sign of their Ki. So I managed to find them."
Clone Evangeline's flew towards Kotarou and Negi at a speed that Kotarou and Negi couldn't follow with their eyes and body. So when the Clone Evangeline touched the faces of the two of them with both palms Kotarou and Negi couldn't even notice it.
Clone Eangeline banged Kotarou and Negi's backs against the concrete. To the extent that the concrete that was hit by Negi and Kotarou's head cracked and almost shattered. But luckily because Negi and Kotarou had their magic barriers activated all the time, so their heads were still protected even though they hit the concrete and didn't shatter.

After banging Negi and Kotarou's heads against the concrete road, Clone Evangeline threw Kotarou and Negi's bodies into the air and hit Negi and Korarou's bodies using the super large ice chunks she created with her ice magic. Plus because Clone Evangeline increased the weight of the ice she created using gravity magic, Kotarou and Negi had a hard time getting rid of the ice hitting their bodies.
Once again, Negi and Kotarou's face and body fell to the ground. Wven this time the magic wall they had torn apart made their bodies fracture due to the large ice chunks that hit the two of them.
Negi and Kotarou spit out large amounts of blood from their mouths. Both of them couldn't move their bodies at all because their bodies were crushed by the ice chunks that were weighted down using gravity magic.
"Ooohok!" Said Negi who vomited blood for the second time. "Master attacked us so fast that we couldn't dodge at all."
"Master Evangeline seems to have stopped messing around and started attacking us with killing intent," Kotarou said. "If we hadn't gotten stronger in the last three days, we would have died."
"Woooow this is really surprising," Clone Evangeline said with a grin. "I thought that the two of you would die from the attack just now to think that the two of you would be able to survive."
"If I'm being honest Master, that attack almost killed me," Negi said. "I was able to survive because over the past three days, I've grown stronger."
"Same with me," Kotarou said. "Apparently this time, you really intend to kill both of us, Master Evangeline."

"Well, since I'm getting a little sick of having to keep fighting with you two for days on end!" Clone Evangeline shouted. "So this time I'll stop messing around and start attacking you two with killing intent!"
Clone Evangeline started walking towards Kotarou and Negi with two ice spears in her hands, as if she was ready to stab Kotarou and Negi's bodies.
Negi and Kotarou who saw Evangeline walking towards the two of them with ice spears in their hands, currently the two of them who were unable to do anything, they could only surrender themselves and accept the death that would soon come to them. And it was at that moment that Negi and Kotarou finally understood what Magia Erebea was.
Memories after memories flashed through Negi and Kotarou's heads, and slowly they turned into flashback videos for Negi and Kotarou.
Flashback for Negi:
"Yooo Negi, why are you given up? Just because you can't master high-level magic can you even look depressed like that?" Asked Anya.
"B-but Anya, this magic is really hard to learn," Negi replied. "I've been studying that magic for three months, but not once have I managed to use it."
"The Negi I like won't give up just because he failed to learn something in a short time," Anya said while rubbing Negi's head. "I know that you are a genius who learns any kind of magic in a short time, and that is a good thing. But Negi you have to remember not all kinds of magic you can learn in an instant, because nothing is instant in this world. if you keep wishing for instant things all the time without working hard, how can you become a Magister Magi with that kind of thinking?"
Anya's words made Negi realize that all this time he had chosen the fast and instant path to becoming a Magister Magu and it was all because he wanted to be found his father as soon as possible. And that's when Negi changed into a better person and stopped thinking about the instant way.
***
And that memory made Negi realize that in order to learn Magia Erebea, he must be someone who wants to work hard, never give up, doesn't choose an instant path to become strong and can accept anything as it is and that includes himself.

Flashback to Kotarou;
"Hey, Kotarou-kun, until now I'm still confused why you have to practice martial arts so hard every day?" Asked Natsumi who was licking the ice cream she just buy.
"That's all so that I can become the most powerful person in this world!" Kotarou replied with a facial expression that looked very excited." In this world there are countless tough and strong people like Negi or Shirou-Nii-san! So I have to practice every day so that I can surpass the two of them, especially Shirou-Nii-san."
"Then after you become the strongest what will you do? Keep training to maintain your strength? Or find another opponent to fight that I know won't exist, since you're already the strongest in the world," Natsumi said. "Training to be strong is a good thing, but if you train to become the strongest person in this world. I think your training will be in vain, because once you become the strongest you will lose your purpose in life."
Natsumi's words made Kotarou go into shock, because what Natsumi said made a lot of sense. Why couldn't his brain think that the ideals he had all this time were empty and pointless. Kotarou had thought that being the most powerful in this world was a good thing, but Natsumi's words made him realize the folly of what he was doing.
"Uuugh I can't deny that what you said was very precise and reasonable," Kotarou said with a depressed look on his face. "After becoming the most powerful in the world, I will lose my purpose in life and don't know what to do, that means all the training I've been doing so far is useless, right?"
"Martial art training is useful," Natsumi said. "Just change your goal from training to become the strongest in the world, to training in martial art so that you are strong enough to protect the people you care about. That way I think you'll have a more meaningful life goal."
"Training myself, to be strong so I can protect the people I care about and precious to me? I think that's much better than my previous ideals!" Kotarou said while rubbing his nose with his index finger. "I will especially protect Chizu-Nee and you Natsumi-Nee, because you two are the people I love the most in this world!"
