On the subject of Negi's age, as brought up near the end of the previous thread: I can't find the page right now, but before the big fight Negi told Jack that he'd had... I think it was seven or eight months worth of training. But that was right before Jack put him through an extended time-compressed training session, the length of which I also can't recall -- ten days? A month?
When he arrives at Mahora, Negi is really not quite ten yet -- his age was first given under that Asian system where you're considered a year old at birth and then add one every New Year's Eve. I can't find a firm birthdate for him, so let's assume for the moment that he starts the series at... oh... 9 3/4 years old.
So... series starts in February ... it's now early October... adding the training months, we find that Negi is ... Call it 11 1/2?
ETA: That's October, not August. >.
