Sometime after the confrontation with Cosmo Entelecheia and successfully locating his parents, [[Negima|Negi Springfield]] decides that he needs some time away from Mahora to properly plan his life out, freed as he is from the need to worry about the fates of his family and students. Thus, he leaves in the middle of the night, accompanied only by Chamo, for a new school in an entirely different part of Japan. Here, he hopes to settle down for a ''normal'' year of teaching to think things through.
There's just one problem:
He's gone to [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Uminari City]], Three very powerful mages are part of his new class, and the TSAB is finally figuring out that maybe Nanoha and Hayate ''aren't'' the only mages of note on the planet.
What follows is a saga of equal parts sugary, fluffy goodness, mind-rape, and ensuing hilarity. All the while, a new enemy slowly encroaches on the city, threatening both Negi and his students. Considering that three of his charges include Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate, however, things are going to get very sticky, very quickly.
The story can be read [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6691878/1/Equal_and_Opposite_Attraction here].
Line 18:
* [[Alien Non-Interference Clause]]: A "Prime Directive" is mentioned, and since the author has "Jean-Lauc Picard" hanging about in TSAB service, one may reasonably assume that the Directive is this trope.
* [[Alternate Timeline]]: This story takes place in a world where Negi found his parents, who are happily living in Ostia (as opposed to finding out that his father Nagi {{spoiler|was serving as the latest body for the Lifemaker}}), and where Negi never {{spoiler|stopped teaching}}.
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: In a meta example, someone else ghostwrites Chapter 13 as a part of the All Purpose Negima Fanfiction Thread's shennanigans.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: After being shadowed and downplayed in A's, Alyssa and Suzuka appear to have a much larger role in the story.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Coupled with a rousing [[Badass Boast]] {{spoiler|and ETERNAL NEGI FEVER}}.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Negi is able to destroy a small, fabricated dimension of darkness, yet Lindy, Arf, and Nanoha still succumb to his shota-cuteness.
* [[Badass Boast]]: Negi, during his {{spoiler|rescue of Hayate.}}
{{quote|'''Negi''': I am Negi Springfield, offspring of the Thousand Master and the Princess of Ostia. I have been trained by the greatest masters of combat and magic, and have never failed to impress them. I have faced demons, madmen, cyborgs, and gods themselves, all for the sake of others. I have traveled the world in search of one man thought dead. ''And I found him.'' You think the darkness scares me? You think I am just some child? You think I would back away from anyone who would ''hurt my students?'' '''''JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?'''''}}
** Later, Nanoha makes one against Negi:
{{quote|"I have fought demons, monsters, robots, and summons, I have faced down the darkest depths and rescued my precious ones from its grasp. There is no obstacle I cannot surpass, no foe I that can outrun my shot. I am Takamachi Nanoha, {{spoiler|[[Suspiciously Specific Denial|AND I AM NOT]] [[Nosebleed|A PERVERT!]]}}" }}
*** Damn you, puberty!
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: Arf ends up eating some of Chamo's magic chocolates. Then she proceeds to act like a drugged-out squirrel and dry hump Zafira. Apart from one aside mention in the next chapter, the incident and the chocolates are never mentioned again. Thank God.
* [[Broken Masquerade]]: Originally, the TSAB did not know about Earth's mage population. Now they do.
* [[Call Back]]: Asuna uses the example of Negi vanishing her bear panties to justify the publishing of a pamphlet about getting [[Clothing Damage]] during mage fights.
* [[The Cameo]]: The girls of [[Tenchi Muyo!]] all work as maids in Alyssa's employ.
** Apparently Lindy was in basic training with [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Captain Picard]]
* [[The Cavalry Arrives Late]]: Negi, having just saved {{spoiler|Hayate}} from the mysterious darkness wielding opponents, is trying to figure out how to transport her back home when Zafira arrives.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: [[Subverted]]. Nanoha and company's school uniforms have such long skirts that Negi can't blow them up with a sneeze. [[Lampshaded]] in a later chapter when Negi finds that his students have made a pamphlet explaining all the ways a mage can 'expose' you.
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Negi very nearly found himself on the receiving end of some after Nanoha found out that he had collapsed with a fever inside his locked apartment.
{{quote|'''Nanoha''': "Hang on, Negi-sensei. You won't be alone anymore. Divine Bus-"
Line 39:
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Signum
* [[Continuity Nod]]: During one of the many [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade hangings]] of Nanoha's extensive usage of [[Defeat Means Friendship]], Allysa points out Nanoha has beaten up her, Fate, the Wolkenritter, and Hayate prior to befriending them.
** Shamal also has one, saying that her magic won't make Hayate walk, only her courage will. Negi promptly sneezes in response.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Due to some mixed-up feelings about Negi, Nanoha has several fantasies about the two of them being a 'couple.'
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: The Ala Alba didn't seem to have much faith that Negi could keep his secret safe, so the Library Club published a series of pamphlets. Their topics range from dark magic possession and talking familiars to Pactio makeout tips and the risk of getting [[Too Much Information|stripped naked while in battle]].
* [[Crossover]]: With [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]], naturally.
** Apparently Chao and Hakase helped [[Tokyo Mew Mew|Ryou Shirogane]] with the Mew Project.
** And [[The World Ends With You|Joshua]] likes drinking coffee with Fate.
* [[Crossover Ship]]: {{spoiler|Nanoha seems to be slowly [[Hot for Teacher|falling for Negi]].}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Signum. She lampshades everyone's actions with the same direct language she uses in the heat of combat, and it's one of the funniest parts of the story.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Alyssa calls Nanoha out on this when Nanoha notes that Negi "looks lonely", but it was [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Distress Call]]: The plot of Chapter 7.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Nanoha attempts to use Raising Heart to bust Negi's apartment door down. Asuna has TWO: One when she kicked her door down, and another when she flies in through Fate's window. Neither are met with approval.
* [[Face Palm]]: Lindy's favorite reaction to Fate-chan and Arf's antics.
* [[Fantastic Drug]]: The magic chocolates.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: The girls who go to Uminari to help Negi:
** [[The Hero]]: Asuna,
** [[The Lancer]]: Ayaka
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Nodoka, relatively speaking
** [[The Big Guy]]: Setsuna
Line 61:
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Zafira, as usual. [[Word of God]] says this was the reason why he didn't start a fight with Negi back in Chapter 7
* [[Furo Scene]]: Chapter 9 has Negi bonding with Hayate, Signum, and Vita in the bathtub, much to his embarrassment.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: [[Lampshaded]]. Chamo is fully aware that trouble will follow Negi wherever he goes. He also knows that at the first sign of trouble, Negi will wear himself to the bone with extra training.
** Nagi is aware that Jack Rakan will be far more effective than the group of palace guards Arika wanted to send to help protect Negi.
* [[Gondor Calls for Aid]]:
** At the end of Chapter {{spoiler|6}}, {{spoiler|Hayate}}, thoroughly [[Mind Rape|mind raped]] and isolated in a magically sealed dimension, makes a desperate telepathic plea for help. {{spoiler|Negi's}} listening, and his answer does not disappoint.
** In Chapter 12, {{spoiler|Asuna, Konoka, Nodoka, Setsuna and Ayaka travel to Uminari to help Negi when over-training puts him out of commission.}}
Line 74:
'''Nanoha''': I, I don't do that! }}
* [[High-Speed Missile Dodge]]: Used by Setsuna during a mock battle.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Negi apparently packed it away when he moved out of Asuna's room. What do you do when an unknown enemy is preying on your students and mind-raping them beyond belief? Nearly kill yourself training solo in order to protect them.
* [[I Work Alone]]: Negi ditched all his allies and is working alone because he doesn't want to bother them. He's also worried that if he lets them know where he is, all of 3-A will come harass him again.
* [[Kansas City Shuffle]]: Meta-version. In one early chapter, we all think Negi's going to sneeze and blow Nanoha and company's skirts up, as usual. Instead, he {{spoiler|propels himself into the air and faceplants onto the floor behind him.}}
Line 85:
** They also try it on {{spoiler|Chamo and Negi}}, but both of them see through it almost immediately.
* [[Moment Killer]]: Nagi interrupts his OWN bout of love-making to call Jack, and Arika weaponized the trope in the form of {{spoiler|a Rakan construct that punches Kurt in the face every time he tries to jerk off.}}
* [[Mood Whiplash]]:
** Chapter 4.
** Chapter 6 begins with a description of Hayate making breakfast for her knights, in which [[Hilarity Ensues]] when she "punishes" Vita. It ends with {{spoiler|Hayate being [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]] into thinking her knights are dead and the city is destroyed. Also contains a [[Shout-Out]] to [[The Lion King]].}}
* [[Mutual Masquerade]]: In the beginning, the TSAB go out of their way to conceal their traces while trying to study Earth. In contrast, the Earth mages are so good at covering their tracks that the TSAB don't even know they're there. This gets broken, first by Chamo and Arf, and later by some of the Ala Alba girls.
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Signum {{spoiler|keeps herself awake all night while Hayate recovers from her [[Mind Rape]].}}
* [[Oh Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us]]: Lampshaded by Chisame in an Omake, after reading a chat that insinuates {{spoiler|Chisame X [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Twilight Sparkle]].}}
* [[Oh, No, Not Again]]: Negi's reaction to learning that there are three mages in his new class.
* [[The Only One]]: Negi thinks he's [[The Only One]] who can handle whatever attacked Hayate, nevermind that Ala Alba would jump through hoops blindfolded to help him out if he needed it.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Lindy. She's the only one shown not to descend into the main cast's usual wacky antics.
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: Nanoha comes off as much more uncertain at the prospect of a potential fight than she ever was in the original series.
* [[Pettanko]]: Vita, as usual. Fate counts as well, but only because of her age.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Chrono and Yunno are unceremoniously shipped out to New York City in order to study Earth mages. To date, they've been mentioned only three times.
* [[Putting a Hand Over His Mouth]]: Nodoka uses this to stop Konoka from explaining about Pactios.
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Arf acted as this to Chamo regarding Negi's mage status, Chamo being capable of speech, and of the existence of mages on Earth, until Chamo finally blew his cover.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Chapter 6, {{spoiler|Hayate has just been mind raped into seeing everything she loves die. Her cries for help are the same ones Simba from [[The Lion King]] shout, word-for-word, after Mufasa dies.}}
** A far less depressing one happens in the next chapter when Negi {{spoiler|channels his inner [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]] during the aforementioned [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment}}
* [[Sneeze Cut]]: Used almost as commonly as [[Gondor Calls for Aid]]. To list several:
** One breaks the fourth wall when Alyssa [[Lampshades]] the absurdity of having a ten-year-old boy teaching school. This results in [[Ken Akamatsu]] having to stall the next release of the manga.
** When Shamal says that Hayate's courage is stronger than her magic, Negi sneezes, and Ayaka implies that Zazie [[Cute Mute|sneezed as well]].
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Albireo does this to Negi over his phone when the group decides to sit down for some "Albiero Fried Chicken"
* [[Taken for Granite]]: When the villains attempt to [[Mind Rape]] Negi, they show him everyone he knows having been petrified.
* [[Team Dad]]: Chamo for Negi. Surprisingly, he's the lone voice of reason, trying to talk the poor kid out of exhausting himself trying to protect everyone. Again...
* [[Team Mom]]: Lindy effectively turns Negi into her surrogate son while Chrono is off hunting mages in America.
** Ayaka claims she's one as well, [[Informed Ability|but it has yet to be proven.]] Meanwhile, Shamal is slowly improving her cooking skills, and Signum's cover story introduces her as one for the rest of the knights.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Yue's speech to Negi drips of this.
* [[Training From Hell]]: Negi does it again. It comes to bite him in the ass. '''Hard.'''
* [[Warrior Therapist]]: Signum, surprisingly. She delivers a good [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are]] speech to {{spoiler|Hayate, the morning after her [[Mind Rape]].}} While she doesn't do this DURING the battle, her reputation AS a warrior certainly gives her the title.
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: {{spoiler|Nanoha seems to be having some problems with this.}}
* [[What Could Have Been]]: An In-universe example: Chamo's original plan for revealing Earth magic to the TSAB involved bringing everyone to Mahorafest. Any fan of [[Mahou Sensei Negima]] knows that would have been a recipe for disaster.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Yue calls Negi out at length for abandoning 3-A.
* [[The World Is Just Awesome]]: The view of Earth in Chapter 19.
* [[You Are Not Alone]]: It's officially the author's favorite trope. Invoked verbatim by Signum to {{spoiler|Hayate after her [[Mind Rape]]}} and by {{spoiler|Negi when he rescues her from said Mind Rape.}}
