Doesn't have to be the case, really. I mean, it's not like Negi was trained by a huge organization for a specific task and turned loose. She's just following in the family tradition.

Yeah, but she'd need time to set up all those plots at different points in the timestream if she's really running a Xanatos Gambit on that scale...

Well, it takes more than 10 minutes to set a plot in motion.

We don't know how old - or young - Chao was when she started, either. Given her genius status, I'd believe 'pretty dang young' as workable.
=========== =============================================== "V, did you do something foolish?" "Yes, and it was glorious."
Or how old she actually is either. They could have age slowing technology in the future, and we only have her word (or her faked documents' words) on how old she is.
Edit: Or clones. You should never discount the possibility of clones when dealing with someone from the future. ----- Stand between the Silver Crystal and the Golden Sea.

Or, if she is part of a huge organization, she could have assistance from someone else. (Human or not - build a half-dozen Chachamarus, and nobody will notice that one is where she isn't "supposed to" be...)

Let's not forget her robot hordes, all with official Martian Army livery...
--Sam "Water. People swim... in water!"
I don't care how much Negi has accomplished in the course of the story, you just don't accumulate the kind of power and resources Chao had by age 15. There's no freaking way she's actually a young teen -- even in a world with, ahem, negotiable realism like that in the manga. And given that we know of at least one method for reliably and controllably altering one's physical age, I still maintain that she must be older than she seems.

Fate is ticked. How dare someone claim to have a solution to an insoluble nightmarish problem?
Negi not only has a hypothesis, he's already done some preliminary experimenting. Say what? ...He plans to get some vital assistance from Ayaka. Say WHAT?! o.O; Not-Zazie is EXTREMELY ticked. And a demon. Rejecting a plan that's been spelled out to you after analyzing it for flaws would be one thing. Rejecting the very IDEA of a plan that you know nothing about? Fuck you, Not-Z. You can go in the trash bin with Uranus and Neptune. BIG DAMN HERO TIME. And Mana is... holy crap. Well. Not holy. O.o; --Sam "Well that guy's nekkid."
A question: Is the word that is being translated as 'demonfolk' Mazoku?

<on a curious impulse, goes to reddevilshn's page><br><br><discovers that the chapter currently displayed on MangaFox is labeled "<strong>DO NOT REHOST THIS MANGA CHAPTER ON ANY ONLINE READER.</strong> "><br><br><develops a Very Bad Feeling About This ...>
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sen ... /v33/c300/]Chapter 300 is up. The cliffhanger that Chapter 299 ended on remains unaddressed, alas. But we do get a scorecard for Ala Alba in the first few pages, in case anybody's forgotten who's who. (Interesting how Yue is identified...)

I find how Cocone is identified more interesting. I hope nothing bad happens to my third favorite loli in the series.

The mangafox pages aren't showing for me. 299 is still there, but no 300
 --Sam "This is graveness."
They loaded earlier. Something is probably getting tinkered with on the back end.
