Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 254: The Other Mastermind?!
[Insert text: A terrible clash with a new antagonistic force?!!]
Gödel: I am honestly rather surprised, Negi-kun. // A revelation of this magnitude, and still you falter not an inch...
Negi: ...I already had my suspicions. // As such... I am not surprised.
Gödel: Dear me... I would expect a ten-year-old boy to scream, or burst out into tears... / Yet you seem so calm. // It would appear I may have to rethink my estimations of you a little.
Negi: However... // May I hear who you are, exactly? // I have no intention of remaining calm indefinitely... // ...whilst you speak that way of my... mother.

4
Beatrix: Y... // You mustn't, Negi-ku... san!
Gödel: Heh...
Seras: Stop right there!!! // That is quite enough, Governer-General Gödel. // You have no right to arrest that boy at this moment.
Collet: !!!
Emily: President Seras!!

5
Gödel: My, my... President Seras. // Now, who said anything about arresting? // I was merely enjoying a little conversation with my citizens here. // Although of course...
Shiori!Asuna: (What's with that guy's attitude?! / [aside]he's really pissing me off![/aside])
Nodoka: (Aahhhhh... Th - Things are looking bad~~~?)
Gödel: If this boy is indeed, as you suggest, a dangerous individual who one might feel the need to arrest... / ...then perhaps I should be a little more careful. // He is, after all, none other than the fake Nagi who defeated Jack Rakan. / [aside]why, with my weak body, he could probably blast me apart with a simple glare.[/aside]
Emily/Collet: ?!
Shiori!Asuna/Nodoka: (They know about the fake Nagi?!)
Seras: (Do not rise to his provocations, Negi-kun!)
Negi: (Seras-san...)
Seras: (It's you that he is after! / He wants you to turn violent, so that he can use that as an excuse to take you into his own custody!)

6
Seras: (This is a very dangerous man, Negi-kun. / There is an excellent chance that he is part of the group responsible for setting you up as wanted men.)
Negi: (Huh?!)
Seras: (He could prove a more dangerous enemy than even Averruncus...)
Gödel: My, my...
Seras: ?!
Gödel: Those are some rather irresponsible things you are saying... or rather, thinking. // Might I ask upon what you base these claims? / It certainly is a good thing you are not making them out loud... that could cause no end of trouble.
Seras: (Real-time telepathy interception! / [aside]but how...?![/aside])
Gödel: ...President Seras. Might I ask you to stand offstage like the side-character you are?
Seras: Wha - ?!
Gödel: Now then, Negi-kun. / I had the pleasure of observing your match. I must say, I was impressed... amazed... awestruck, even! Your talents are astonishing; I could compliment you all day.
Emily: (Ehhhh? Whaaaat? Negi-sama, who turned out to be Nagi-sama's son, is actually the Nagi-sama who drew in battle with Rakan-sama~~~~~?! // The revelations are coming so fast... // ...my head's about to explode...!)
Gödel: Though it may have been in the context of a friendly match, the fact remains that you fought Jack Rakan to a draw. // Your ability is clear. Utterly unparalleled, absolutely unprecedented. I found myself doubting my own eyes. / .........However...
Negi: ......

7
Gödel: Might I ask what exactly you mean to do with all that ability? // Return to a peaceful country and live in comfort as a schoolteacher? We can't have that, can we? Far too boring. // With that power of yours, Negi-kun... // ...you could save the world.
Negi: Wh... // What do you...?
Gödel: Or perhaps you would prefer to simply trounce young Averruncus and leave it at that? // No, no, that simply is not enough. Far too petty for one such as yourself. / Those with power have a responsibility to the world. / Your honourable father spent a full ten years after the war serving the greater good, but the world is still filled with the unreasonable and the outrageous. // ...Surely you must agree? You could help to ensure that a tragedy like the one that befell the people of a certain village does not repeat itself. / You have inherited a legacy from your father before you, and you have gained the power to live up to it. // It is your duty to save the world. Do you not see my reasoning? / As the son of a celebrated hero, as a man who has won fame for himself in the arena, and as the last remaining heir to the world's oldest royal family. // Certainly, your mother herself may be shrouded in infamy, but the noble blood of Vespertatia runs through your veins. / That blood, the blood of the founders of this world, marks you as its rightful heir. Do you understand what this means......?

8
Gödel: Your value is frankly inestimable. / You have the power to take over this entire world.
[Text:]
> Yes
No
[/Text]
Gödel: How about it? Join forces with me... / ...and half of the world will be yours!
Negi: ...Wha...
Seras: (No, Negi-kun! You must not listen to him -)
Negi: What on Earth... // ...What on Earth are you talking about...? // WHO EXACTLY... // ...ARE YOU?!
[Text:]
Yes
> No
[/Text]

Beatrix: [aside]aahhh![/aside]
Gödel: Ahh... // I suppose I should take that as a 'no'. In taking over the world, you could save it, you know... / [aside]...but I suppose a child cannot understand such things.[/aside] // ...... // Oh, look... what have we here~?♪ I do believe this makes my actions self-defense! // I can now feel free to exercise my power as I see fit!
Seras: Why, you - !
Gödel: Be gentle with him, now.

10
Negi: Emittam, Stagnet... / Chilipl Astrape. // Complexio.
Soldiers: [aside]aaaaaghhhh! // waaaahhhhh![/aside]

Knights: [aside]wha...?! // that's kind of impossible...[/aside]
Seras: Capture that boy at once! We must protect the Governor-General!
Gödel: That will not be necessary. // Zanganken Ni no Tachi!!!
[TN: "Rock Cutter, Blade the Second"]
Negi: ?!! // (Wha...)
Gödel: Oh~? It seems physical attacks truly are utterly ineffective. / [aside]truly a high spirit of lightning...[/aside] / And Jack Rakan fought this monster with his bare fists...? He truly is something else. / But in that case...
Negi: (Ugh!! My legs...! // And what was that just now?! // It felt as though my magical barriers were penetrated...)

13
Gödel: Let's see how you like... / ...my exorcising swordplay.
Negi: Ngh...! // Paries Maximum!!!

14
Negi: (Im...possible... He went straight... through my barrier...!! // And that sword style...!)
Gödel: Shinmeiryuu Ougi: Zanmaken Ni no Tachi!!
[TN: "Shinmeiryuu Secret Technique: Demon Cutter, Blade the Second"]

15
Gödel: Shinmeiryuu is the way of exorcism, protecting men and slicing demons. // It finds no difficulty in selecting what to strike.
Seras: ! // (It can't be! With a single attack, he...!)
Shiori!Asuna: Ne...
Emily: Negi-sama?!!
Gödel: Ougi: Zanmaken Ni no Tachi... / In the proper hands, it can have any number of uses...
Girls: ?!!

16
Shiori!Asuna: Ngh... // Like I care! / You four-eyed old pervert!!
Gödel: Dear me... what an unladylike princess we have here. // Perhaps a little training is in order? // Zankuusen!!
[TN: "Slicing Hollow Flash"]
Asuna: Ungh... // That's not going to work on - // !!!
Negi: !!!
Gödel: Oh?

17
Asuna: Ung... // ...hahh...
Negi: Asuna-san! / Asuna-san!!
Asuna: Ngh... / Ughh...
Gödel: A direct hit? That is a surprise. / I expected my attack to be deflected or erased entirely... // Still, that wound is by no means fatal, so no matter.
[TN: Shiori!Asuna doesn't have magic cancel confirmed? ><]
Negi: ...!!
Gödel: Heh... // Excellent eyes.
Negi: Ngh...
Gödel: However...

18
Gödel: ...Do you actually realise who it is you truly should be lashing out at with that power of yours? // Who your real enemy is?
Negi: ?!
Gödel: Well, allow me to enlighten you...
Negi: ...
Gödel: As to the identity of... // ...your true enemy.
