third lesson | Why Telling The Truth, When You're A Mage, Is A Bad Idea (event, stage 4)
[Negi's stayed away from the phones for so long now. He's heard the effects already, and is trying his hardest to keep himself from talking. He has so many secrets that he has to keep...well, secret.
The problem is, his resistance has been getting weaker and weaker every day. And today, he finds himself picking up the phone.]
[PHONE]
Ah... [From the tone in his voice, it's obvious that Negi is struggling with the urge to talk, trying to stop his words from coming out. He's failing.]
Six years before, my village was burned down and almost all of the people I grew up with were turned to stone. Nekane-oneechan and I were the only ones who were left, because my dad came and saved us. He...He's been missing for so long, and that was the only time I ever met him. He gave me his staff and I haven't seen him in person since.
Ever since then, I've been looking for him. I want to follow in his footsteps and become a great Magister Magi, but now that I'm in Mayfield, I'm not sure if I can still do that.
...I'm also a teacher at Mahora Academy. And a mage. [At that you can hear a gasp, like he really can't believe that he just said that last part.] U-Um, I've kissed some of my students--but it was to protect them! [Another gasp. He did not mean to say that.] And I'm only ten under kazoe!
