Negi arrived at the registration booth hours after he had set out, having gotten lost yet again. Fortunately, he didn't run into anything in the forest. The first thing that he saw was the tent - large and gaudy, like something out of a carnival. On the tent were advertisements for Dante's Abyss and for some reason, Pepsi. There was a line comprised of orcs, goblins, elves, ninjas, and other creatures he couldn't identify. He watched as each one entered the tent and exited it a few minutes later, dejected and in some cases, angry. The angry ones were quickly subdued by a team of guards and escorted into the forest.
Bored of waiting in line, Negi tried to summon a phone. The resulting object looked similar to the devices the teens were using in the town. He spent the rest of the time in line browsing through the Dataverse. It seems that Guu is pretty famous around here.
"Your up next, kid", said a guard. Negi looked up and saw that he had arrived at the entrance of the tent. The guard frowned at him. "Aren't you a little young? The competition is ruthless."
"I'll be fine." Negi entered the tent. Inside, a young woman, who appeared bored, greeted him.
"Are you applying for Dante's Abyss? You'll have to fill out this form." She passed him a form and a pen.
The woman took the completed form, barely glancing at it, and put it in a pile with other forms.
"Alright, just give me your statement and you’re good to go."
”Statement?”
"Yeah, for the viewers."
”Viewers?”
"Don't you know anything about this competition?" asked the woman, exasperated. "I suppose not. Dante’s Abyss is a televised battle royale. Competitors are dropped onto a large island with a random item and they fight until only one is left. Even you can understand that, right?"
”Yeah. So for the statement?"
"Whenever you're ready."
”I am Negi Springfield, the strongest fighter among humans and magicians.” As he was speaking, he started the incantation for sagitta magica. Small, glowing orbs surrounded his hand. ”I've faced down hordes of demons. I've fought the creator of the world. I'm not afraid to take you on. I'll take you all down.” He raised his arm and the orbs streaked into the sky and through the roof of the tent. The roof sagged precariously, threatening to collapse.
"Perfect. Enjoy the Abyss."
At the back of the tent, there was a portal, though unlike the others he had seen, this one was large and jagged. Negi walked through the portal. He believed that he was ready for what that awaited him.

Quote:Appearance - Negi appears to be seventeen years old. He has spiky, reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. He has a thin scar on his left cheek and another on his right arm. He usually wears a white cape, whose fringes are ragged from use.
When using Magia Erabea, Negi's skin becomes suffused with darkness and his movements leave dark flames in its wake. On both arms, intricate spiral based designs appear, extending from the back of the hand to the forearm. These designs are black, edged with purple.
Personality - Negi is kind and loyal, the kind of hero who might just save the world in the process of saving his friends. He sees the best in others and would like to be friends with them, even with former enemies.
Negi is also single minded to a fault. When he sets his mind to accomplish something, he often disregards everything else to pursue it. He tends to operate alone, unwilling to drag his friends into his problems.
When using Magia Erabea, Negi becomes much more aggressive and impulsive.
Possible Reactions - Negi has entered as he has vague recollections of competing in fighting tournaments, but he hasn't yet realized that the fights in this one are to death. He will usually fight only in self-defense and in a fight, he will aim to knock out the opponent, rather than to kill. He will only use Magia Erabea when the situation is desperate as he may lose control.
Relationships - Guu: He feels indebted to her as she brought him into the town of Ambrosia when he was injured
Combat Style - Negi is a tactical fighter and is able of quickly adapting to changing conditions. He uses his speed and acrobatics to evade and augments his strikes with magic, though he is a capable fighter even without magic. Negi will attempt to avoid confrontations when possible, unless an ally is in danger, in which case he will jump into battle to protect them. If forced to fight, he will attempt to knock out the opponent,quickly with a powerful strike to avoid dragging out the battle.
Eligible Powers - Burst Movement, Basic Super Jumping, Master Acrobat
Moves - Ouka Houken (Tier 0 Super Move), Magia Erabea:Sim Fabricatus Ab Incendio (Tier 1 Powered Up Form)
Extra - Negi uses a variant of a form of martial arts known as Kenpo, which features low stable stances and short powerful movements that combine both attack and defense, focusing mostly on the use of the arm and full body techniques as well as counters.
Quotes - "I won't let you harm my comrades."
