Springfield, Negi

ネギ・スプリングフィールド

Negi Springfield serves as the teacher for Class 3-A (formerly 2-A) at Mahora Girls' Jr High School. He is the son of master mage Nagi Springfield, famously known as the legendary "Thousand Master," and Akira, princess of the Ostian Empire in the magic world. Currently, Negi has formed 11 temporary pactios with his students (Asuna, Nodoka, Setuna, Konoka, Yue, Haruna, Chisame, Kazumi, Kaede, Kuu Fei, and Chachamaru) and one temporary pactio with Theo, which grants him an artifact that allows him to use any of his partner's artifacts.
Negi specializes in Wind spells and Lightning spells (his father's specialty), although he initially lacks battle experience. He later trains under Ku Fei in Martial Arts to compensate for his weakness in close combat, advancing very quickly (even learning instant movement, otherwise known as shundou), and applies a strong magical barrier around himself to avoid damaging his frail body. He eventually becomes a master of using delayed spells as a battle tactic. Due to the training he received from Evangeline and Jack Rakan, his magic and combat capabilities increase exponentially. Negi also learns and improves upon Evangeline's "Magia Erebea," which absorbs offensive spells into his own body. He also devised a new spell: "Spell Synthesis: Lightning God Lance Titan Slayer," which is a new high-class lightning spell. Negi even manages to use Magia Erebea's ultimate ability by employing a magic circle that can stop and absorb the enemy's attack, whether it is magical or spiritual, and use it against them, a feat that even Evangeline herself could not master. In the latest chapter, it is shown that Magia Erebea marks have begun to spread all over Negi's body and that Negi has formed a temporary pactio with Shiori, one of Fate's subordinates.
His aim is to become a Magister Magi (master mage) like his father and to find his father, who is currently missing.
