[Insert text: What happened to Makie and Yue after they stood up to the Averruncus of Wind...?!]
Yue: (Unhh... // Wh... Where am I...? // Makie-san?! // That's right... we stood up to the fake Fate, and... // My body won't move... This is... a rather powerful lightning-type paralysis enchantment... / But thank goodness... this is within the bounds of the 16 scenarios I had anticipated. // If not for the delayed spell I planted in my body in advance, I would be stuck like this for three whole days... // Activate! // Paralysis Dispel!! // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // (I have to free Makie-san, as well...!)

Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 324: The Secret Revealed!!
Yue: Dispel!!
Makie: Ahh... // Yue-sa~~n? For Heaven, this place is pretty lonely...
Yue: We're not dead, I'm afraid. // It seems that they truly are refusing to use lethal force against us. // Natsumi-san and Nodoka are gone... / What on Earth...? // Ah!
Makie: Hmmm~?
Yue: This is...!
Makie: Ah! / That's Kaede-chin's...!
Yue: Yes - the Tengu no Kakuremino!

3
Yue: I believe this cloak was in Natsumi-san's possession...
Makie: Eh? Th... Then where did she go? Where are they? // ?! // What's all this noise?!
Yue: These are the sounds of a magical battle! / And... these incessant bangs and crashes like lightning ripping through the air... // One of the combatants is Negi-san!
Makie: Eh?! / [aside]how can you tell?[/aside] // S - Surely Negi-kun was in no condition to be... / [aside]besides, that fake-Fate was using lightning too...[/aside]
Yue: No, it's... definitely him. / [aside]though I'm not sure how I know...[/aside] // Let's go! We have to join him!
Makie: Ah - Yue-chan, wait! // ... // ! // Asakura?!
Yue: Asakura-san, hang in there! // Her symptoms are the same... I'll heal her immediately!

4
Makie: (Wow... I don't really get it, but she's so... professional! / I guess she must've done this on me too...)
Yue: Foa Zo Cratica Socratica...
Makie: (You really are a proper mage now, Yue-chan!)
Yue: O Spirits of Healing, bestow your mercy upon my comrade...
Makie: ... // Yue-chan, you really do care for Negi-kun, huh?
Yue: Dispel-mlrgh! // Owowowowowowwwww~!! My tongue~~~!!
Makie: Aaaahhh~! I - I'm sorry~~! Are you okay?!
Yue: Oh, right. I can heal it with magic. // Heal!
Makie: Ooh... That's our resident mage-girl for you! / [aside]magic is so handy![/aside]
Yue: Anyway, what the heck were you saying?!! I - I - I - I don't have that kind of -
Makie: Oh, there's no point in hiding it, Yue-chan! It's obvious just looking at you!

5
Makie: Sure, you lost all your memories after arriving here, but I'm sure your feelings for Negi-kun survived despite that! / And it was your pure devotion to Negi-kun (Nagi-san) that drove you to try so hard all this time! / [aside]I heard it all from Collet-san![/aside] // And as a result, you've even managed to become a first-class mage!
Yue: Eh?! No - That's not -
Makie: I'm sure you did everything you could to become more like Negi-kun!
Yue: H - H - How are you able to analyse my career with such confidence?!
Makie: ...I just think it's incredible. / That your feelings for Negi-kun are so pure and strong... // It makes me a little jealous... / And a little nervous...
Yue: Eh...?
Makie: I like Negi-kun too, by the way! // I even confessed to him recently!
Yue: Eh? // Ehhhh?!

6
Makie: Ah, of course... You don't have any memories of our third year. // Well, first of all, there's our class rep. She's crazy about Negi-kun!
Yue: Wha-?! // ...A... All right, I can see how that would happen...
Makie: Uh-huh. / [aside]she's a total shotacon.[/aside] // Then there's Honya-chan. I think it's pretty obvious that she's in love with Negi-kun, right?
Yue: Ehh?!
Makie: Anya-chan likes to act like they're just childhood friends, but I'd keep an eye on her. // With Asuna, things are pretty complicated, but she certainly likes him.
Yue: Wha...
Makie: Recently, Ku Fei and Chachamaru-san have been acting pretty suspicious, too... / And I kind of get the feeling Chisame-chan might be the most dangerous of them all! // Oh, and I'm not sure what to think about his relationship with Eva-chan sometimes... / Well, I'm sure there's a few I'm missing, as well...
Yue: Whaaaaa...?! // I... I see... There... certainly are a lot of these... // ...These, erm... contenders for Negi-san's affections...?
Makie: Rivals, you mean!
Yue: Y - Yes, that's... // ...Rivals?!
Makie: I'm not... // ...going down without a fight either, Yue-chan!
Yue: Aahhhh~!
Asakura: Dear me... You girls certainly pick interesting times to have these little talks.

7
Asakura: Now, I won't deny that your romantic concerns are a serious issue... // But I think you'll find they'll all be a moot point if we don't make it through the current situation.
Makie: Asakura! / [aside]you're back![/aside]
Yue: I - I - I am qu - quite aware of that! // L - Let us hurry! // To Negi-san's side!
Asakura: Yes, yes. // Still, Yuecchi, if you ask me... // You might want to start seriously thinking about confessing to him as well.
Yue: Wha - ?! / I - that's - he -
Makie: Oh, you're gonna confess?! I'll help you out!
Yue: Whaaat?!
Asakura: (Negi-kun's become a lot more manly since the days of the school trip... // But ah well. If he can't even handle the pressures of his own overwhelming popularity, he'll never be able to save the world, right~?♪)

8
Kaede: *pant*... / *pant*... // Kotarou... / Kotarou... // He's still breathing... / It would seem that they truly are unable to take our lives. // Simply killing us would be much less trouble than this... // (Negi-bouzu... And his opponent is the original Fate? // Quite an overwhelming sight... // And to think that he is able to fight on equal terms with such an opponent...!)
Makie: Kaede-chi~~~n!
Asakura: Kaede~~~!
Kaede: Looks like they're all right too.

Imma: What are we hiding in this Academy, you ask...?
Eva: That's right. / Start talking.
Konoemon: Hmmm...
Imma: Dean Konoe. // ...Considering the present situation, I think there should be little harm in telling her.
Konoemon: Hmm...
Akashi: But, Al...!
Imma: Don't worry... She is no longer the Queen of Darkness she once was. // Thanks partly to Negi-kun and his companions, she has entirely reformed. Why, at this stage...
Eva: Nghh...
Imma: ...she is little more than a cheeky middle-school girl who wants to get along with her classmates but has difficulty being honest with herself.
Eva: THAT'S GOING TOO FAR!!
Konoemon: [aside]he has a point...[/aside]

10
Imma: By the by, Kitty... Even you were nothing more than an ordinary human girl once upon a time, isn't that right?
Eva: Hmm? // What is this about? // You should know very well that I don't like to discuss my past.
Konoemon: This is new to me. What's the story?
Akashi: Al...?
Imma: Would you happen to know anything about the individual... // ...who originally changed you into this form?
Eva: Why should I care? / I'm sure he was just some dull-witted mage blinded by dreams of eternal life. // I killed him long ago. / That's all there is to it. / [aside]he's been dead for six hundred years.[/aside]
Imma: ...And if I were to tell you... // ...that he was not dead after all?
Eva: Hm...?

11
Imma: What if I were to tell you that he still lives on... // ...right here before us...?
Eva: Wh... What...?
Kaede: He's winning...
Makie: Eh?!
Kaede: I thought they were evenly matched... // But it would appear that Negi-bouzu is ahead by a slight margin...!
Makie: Eh...?! // R... // Really?!
Asakura: Seriously?!
Kaede: I tell no lie.
Yue: He is outmatching Fate himself?

12
Fate: !!

13
Fate: Rlghh...
Negi: Nghh...?! // Nnn...nnggghhhhh... // Nnhhh...

14
Negi: HAHH!!! // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // !
Fate: (Hah... so in the end, I am but a doll... No matter how many times I repeat myself, the result is the same... // Ten years ago, twenty years ago... Or perhaps since long before even that...)

15
Nodoka: Ah!
Fate: The end is near, Negi-kun... // (But I wonder why...)
Negi: !!

16
Fate: (For some reason, I do not feel nearly so much irritation as I have in the past...) // The next blow will settle this.
Negi: You're...!
Fate: However... // Before that happens... Negi-kun... // Would you humour me with the details... of this plan of yours?
Negi: ......! // ...Heh... // What's the matter, Fate? / I thought you weren't interested in hearing about my plan?

17
Fate: ...You are right, of course. / My knowing it will change nothing. // I take back my request. Forget I said anything.
Negi: ...!
Eva: Not... dead, you say? / [aside]in that state...?[/aside] / You are making no sense. If he had already obtained eternal life, then he would have no need to use me as an experimental subject.
Imma: That is a little paradoxical, I admit. / However... // What if he were not "immortal", but merely "indestructible"...?
Eva: That's...
Imma: Precisely. / [aside]You see this kind of thing all the time in those video games you love so much, yes?[/aside] // Twenty years ago, our attempts to destroy him ended in failure... // And ten years ago, we barely succeeded in sealing him away. // At the cost of a certain hero's sacrifice.
Eva: ...Wha... / Y... You don't mean...?!
Imma: But I do. Sealed underneath the World Tree...

18
Imma: ...lies the Mage of the Beginning. // The Lifemaker.
