Fate unleashes a mysterious power in his fight against Rakan!

That’s a lot of spikes….

Rakan wins…. or?

Classy as usual, eh Fate.

Whoa… what!

Wait what—? Reality manipulation?!

Oh fuck… the Mage of the Beginning guy again?

So… who the heck is actually Fate working for and what is exactly the Lifemaker or Mage of the Beginning entity? The power it has is truly HAX if judging from the small demonstration Fate showed us this chapter. This is gonna make it hard to counterattack if anything…..

GJ, Sakuya.

Anyways, pretty serious chapter this time, as outlined below, after the last 5-6 battle-filled ones.

So, Hayate will have to choose either to save Athena or Nagi, with serious consequences for whom he doesn’t choose. A choice between the past and the status quo…. now that’s a hard one there. And all in all, it looks like Mikado’s the one behind it all (and he’s the Santa guy too?!). I wonder what’s his true objective in all this.

Sure is hard to believe that HnG is a comedy manga (supposedly).

The only highlight of this chapter. Eva-sama! It’s been a while!

Otherwise, it was more revelations about Negi inheriting some SUPAH-POWAFURU ancient magic thanks to being Arika’s son and such. Yue’s Artifact is a informations-dealer desire come true. Also, Rakan and Fate still sparring in the pocket dimension made by catgirl. Looks like Rakan’s about to lose though.

FUCK YEAH, NAGI.

Jumping in to a valley full of man-eating beasts where magic can’t be used to save the woman he loves…. if this isn’t a Crowning Moment of Awesome, nothing is.

Fuck yeah Rakan and co., kick those bastard’s asses!

Haha, nice headbutt, Nagi.

He finally said it.

Crowning Moment of Awesome #2

Oh Arika, still so damn tsundere.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.

Whoa, immediately proposing marriage. Great timing, Nagi :thumbsup:.

D’awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ;_;.

I just realised I posted nearly the whole damn chapter up here LOL.

Arika-hime! ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。

Bastards, that whole bloody council. All of ‘em!

Arika-hime! ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。

Goddamnit Nagi! That might be the ‘proper’ choice but is it the ‘right’ one?

Arika-hime! ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。 ｡･ﾟ(ノД`)ﾟ・。

God, Arika-hime’s story is more heart-wrenching than I thought. I find it truly saddest that people misunderstand good intention and sacrifice of others for the gain of their own self-deceit and glory.

Nagi better save Arika-hime in a Crowning Moment of Awesome next chapter!

“………………………………………………….”
“………………………………………………….”
“………………………………………………….”

Yeah, he perfectly dug his own grave.

“Of course, she’s very weak, right guys?!”
“Yeah, of course!”

Oh LOL. I haven’t laughed this hard at Hayate manga since…. well, just about ever. With all the romantic drama going in the manga lately, it’s kinda hard to remember that Hayate was a gag manga in the beginning LOL. And this is chapter 221 btw.

Arika-hime is so moe.

Nice skillz Arika-hime, now I know why she was so terrifying in the flashbacks.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa~ *fangirl mode* ヽ( >Д< )ﾉ

Hurr…. Zect’s actually 2600 years old? What magical being is he? Don’t tell me he’s a Shinso like Evangeline or a ancient dragon…..

O_O Huh? What?! Arika’s father was part of Cosmo Entelachia as well? Oh dear…

Aww…. Nagi ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

Anyways, next chapter continues the revelation spree. Gee I sure hope we get some real answers on Nagi and Arika.

A good look at A-tan’s inner thoughts this chapter.

D’awww A-tan. ;_;

And the two who have been seperated for 10 years, finally meet….

… and Hayate goes straight to the point.

What will A-tan’s answer to Hayate be?

Negi goes berserk. He really is pretty frightening now with the Magia Erebea power-up.

Dark Negi is…..

…. dark. (Whoaaaaaaa what’s with that demonic transformation?!)

Thankfully, Nagi (indirectly) intervenes and stops Negi.

And Chisame deals the final blow to stop Negi from staining his hands. Negi truly made a good choice by picking her to come.

Wow, Asakura getting mad. That’s a first.

After this chapter, I think the theory is that Godel was inciting Negi to murder him (or attempt to) so that he could give his bosses a legitimate reason to execute Negi. Considering all the factors and revelations, it does seem the Megalomesembrian Council is hiding something very dangerous about Arika, possibly one that could overturn Mundus Magicus, until it became desperate enough to try and erase Negi when he was young, but unfortunately failed.

But of course, I don’t think his intentions are as clear-cut as that, and there’s always the possibility he is genuinely trying to help Negi as he used to be part of Ala Rubra (indirectly) and that he is seemingly wasting so much time with Negi by inviting him to the ball, revealing everything about the attack and intentionally inciting Negi to kill him.

In any case, next chapter should see some interesting revelations.

… according to Medaka apparently.

God damn, this manga is getting a bit too ridiculous for my tastes. But I do know one thing… DO NOT PISS OFF MEDAKA. It’s the ones that rarely get angry that are the ones who are truly scary.
