Negi continued to dither and dally about, nervous tension continually rising within his compact yet surprisingly sturdy frame, slightly panicking at the thought of being caught in someone's machinations. He couldn't use magic to investigate with a crowd this big, and the boy wasn't sure how doing such a thing would cause the public to react. Worst case scenario would be something that happened with Chao, where the release of magic straight away caused much trouble. While he was all for revealing it, he didn't want to do it in such a direct manner. Biding his time and shakily walking down the side walk with the throng of pedestrians, his eyes darted about to look for a place where he could take off without attracting any attention at all. 

Suddenly, his senses snapped onto a certain scene. He felt his instincts snap onto a pair of blonde people talkin to each other. One was a slight woman with her hair dressed in a bun, reminding the young magister somehow of those nice girls from Ariadne Magic Academy who took care of Yue during her tenure as an amnesiac. This woman in front of him though was truly "knightly" to him, her demeanor just and firm just like those students were. The taller man with crimson eyes likewise had the same "feel", though in his case it was wafting with arrogance instead of stoicism.

Frowning slightly at the tensed display, Negi gripped his staff as he judged things were going in a direction that might be detrimental to the public. These two figures were different, they were definitely not normal. Having gone through all his experiences, the young immortal could easily tell who was normal and who was not now. Those presences were not something anyone could pick up, and his sixth sense told him to be on guard. Indeed, he would do his best should things devolve rapidly and attempt to any he could should things come to that point. And thus the boy prepared himself, fully on alert and yet doing his best to not aggravate the situation any further.
