Story: SBO Negima

 

Alright then. This was a bit of a nightmare scenario. At least, Shizuna was thinking so internally. Alas, she could feel her control over her body slip as another her took charge. Another her with rather a different outlook on life.

"Oooh, I wanna get laid~" she whined, stamping her foot and chewing on gum that hadn't been there a moment ago. "Gimme a good hard dick and I'll show it, like, the best time!"

"Nuh uh!" Ayaka said. "I totally would! Ohohohoho!"

It was frightening to bear witness to. Losing control over her own body, made a passenger as some ravenously horny idiot completely hijacked her. Then seeing someone under you charge was suffering the same fate. Though, given that facial expression, it certainly didn't seem like she was suffering.

Under the surface was another matter entirely. Shizune knew Ayaka enough to understand how she was suffering. This must be absolutely humiliating for her, behaving like some - 

"Ohohohoho! Come on, let's, like, figure out a way to tell Negi about the curse!" Ayaka whispered. "Mmm, I can't wait to, like, have all kinds of fun with him~"

On second thought maybe she was enjoying this more than it seemed? No, perish the thought. They had to work some way out of this, pronto!

"Maybe we could just, like, go flirt with him?" Shizuna whispered. "That would do it, right?"

"Ohohoho!" Ayaka cackled. "You are totally welcome to try!"

The door was thrown open, Negi was standing there looking concerned-  and just like that she was herself again. Just as it had seemed. This was... really quite bad, wasn't it? If he found out about the curse, he'd probably be affected as well, right? What would that look like? A super buff beach bro Negi? Replete with glasses?

Oh no! She was awakening to something! Repress, repress, abort, abort! Think quickly now, don't just close the door again! Think of a lie! Come up with something that would deceive a young prodigy who also happened to be a magus and who, at this very moment, is peering up at you with big, innocent doe eyes that are merely concerned for your own mental health!

"As it turns out, it's nothing to worry about," Shizune said, feeling like kicking herself for the blatantness of it. Ack! Come on, you can think of a better lie than that, surely! Look at him, tilting his head, he knows you just lied and he's pouring on the guilt! Like salt on the wound! "Ah... Alright. To be honest with you, the girls were planning a little surprise - "

"Miss Shizuna!" Ayaka rushed forward, putting her hand over Shizune's mouth. "Ignore her, she's making it up!"

"Ah, I see!" Negi said, nodding away. Phew! Quick thinking there, Ayaka! "Well, alright then. If that's all it is, then I'd better leave you girls to it. I'm terribly sorry for being so paranoid."

He bowed, left and the instant he was out of sight, Ayaka's hand had already trailed down to Shizuna's breasts, squeezing them with fingers that were, frankly, far, far to nimble to be real.

"Mmm, that was naughty of us~" Shizune found herself whispering to Ayaka, then to her horror, she turned and gave the girl a big sloppy kiss right on the lips, even went so far as to slip her tongue inside! "Spoiling things for Negi! Lying right to his face, when he was looking up at us like that!"

"We should, like, go after him!" Ayaka said. "I wanna see what he looks like as a himbo! Tee hee!"

"Oooh, you're soooo right!" Shizune said, and the two of them giggled like a pair of schoolgirls. Instead of just the one schoolgirl. They immediately whirled around, rushed down the hallway after him, and then -

They were themselves again. Ah. Right. Already, she could see the problem here. She couldn't exactly discuss things in front of Ayaka without informing Negi as well. Meanwhile, if Negi wasn't around, then she'd be that total airhead instead! That wouldn't do. It wouldn't do at all!

"Pardon me," Shizune said. "I want to test something, if I may?"

"Eh? Yes, certainly," Negi said. Shizune then covered his ears with her hands, but lowered her head so that he would not be able to see her lips. She didn't want him reading them, after - 

"Hey, Ayaka? Does this skirt make me look like a total whore?" Shizune asked. "I mean, cuz, it's super short and all, but I think it could be way sluttier!"

Humiliation bubbled up inside her. Wh-what was this other her saying?! Wait, was she only able to say it because... Because Negi couldn't hear her right now? Oh no! As for Ayaka, she'd covered her mouth with her fan, and she said - 

"Um, yeah it makes you look super slutty! Even in that less sexy body, you're totally hawt!" Ayaka said, then she pulled her fan away from her face. "I mean, this is getting really quite absurd, don't you think?"

Left with no other choice, Shizuna lifted her head. Allowing Negi to see her lips. "Yes, I quite agree, Ayaka! It's quite an absurd secret party we're planning on putting together."

She pulled her hands away from Negi's ears. "Sorry about that. By the way, there was another matter. Would it be alright if we went into the library together? I wanted to check out a few books."

"Books? On anything in particular?" Negi asked.

"Well, you see, Ayaka and I were talking after you left," Shizune said. "When it became apparent you were worried about the misadventures the class were often getting into, and that they might be trying to handle something on their own without your help, it occurred to me that perhaps they could use some education."

"M-Miss Shizuna! You thought of all that!" Ayaka gasped. "Truly, you are quite the teacher!"

She might not be as sharp as some of her peers, but you don't get to be in this position by being a totally naive fool! Ah... Come to think, there were a few teachers out there like that, weren't there? Maybe she should not make such a wide sweeping statement? 

“To start with,” Shizuna said as they went off to the library, her voice as smooth and cheerful as ever, “there’s a fascinating cultural difference regarding the most effective ways to cure someone of a curse!”

Ayaka gave her a sidelong glance, adjusting her pace to stay level. “Is now really the time for an academic lecture?”

“Of course it is,” Shizuna replied brightly. “We are going to the library. It’s the perfect setting.”

Negi, just a few paces ahead, turned and smiled. “Oh! That does sound interesting!”

Shizuna matched his smile. “It is, it really is. For instance, in Western magical traditions, curses are often removed through symbolic reversal—using objects or spells that mirror the nature of the curse and ‘unwind’ it, so to speak. You see a lot of this in wand-based or rune-centric systems.”

“Sounds like it takes a lot of planning,” Ayaka muttered under her breath, her eyes flicking forward toward Negi, then back again. “And precision.”

Shizuna gave the barest nod. “Meanwhile, in more Eastern traditions—say, certain Shinto or Taoist practices—the focus is more on purification and harmony. A curse is seen as a disruption, a spiritual imbalance, and it’s treated with cleansing rites, sacred words, or even the intervention of nature spirits.”

Negi tilted his head as he walked. “So which one works better?”

“That depends,” Shizuna said smoothly. “On the curse, the caster, and—most importantly—the person afflicted.”

Ayaka’s hands tightened around the strap of her schoolbag. “That’s comforting.” But would comfort be enough when the slightest slip up could turn all of them dumb as rocks and hornier than a bull? Shizuna didn't know - but she would do everything she could to keep her student safe! No, not just Ayaka... Every student that was currently affected!
