In this chapter, we learn that the governor general has fallen out of favor with Negi, and that the two have fallen apart. The governor general is using his sword to cut through the lightning-fast decoys that Negi has created. The shinmei sword, which is used for "exorcising demons" , is the most powerful weapon against the lightning form. The lightning form is a "high level monster," and the sword is "the ultimate weapon against sharp, cool head" . In this case, he will have to use his "one and only advantage, whack magical capacity" to defeat the second blade of the sword. Negi tells him that he will not join him in his revenge. He tells him to "deceive yourself" no matter what he may think of what has supported him. He says that his father would never give up correct, that he has never been alone, that everything that has happened has been communicated directly to his friends. He adds that they are "called friends" because they have the illusion of being friends, not because they are alone. He also says that they will not be able to escape with him for him, as everything has been relayed to them directly by their friends.
