The Baka Rangers and the Secret Library Island. The Big Game Plan for the Final Test, Part 3

The ninth chapter of Negima! Magister Negi Magi.

Summary
Negi and the group survive the fall and find themselves in the "Deep Library", the mystical paradise for all the book lovers. With no way to get back to the surface or to get the magic book, Negi decides to put the group through a study instead in order for the Bakaranger to score higher on the upcoming exam in the next 2 days.

Back at 2-A's classroom, Ayaka has received a news from Sakurako that Negi will be fired if their class ranks the worst in their year again this time and instructs everyone to try and score higher in the exam. Though Ayaka isn't worried about the Bakarangers' performance affecting their rank at first, her fear becomes true shortly after Nodoka and Haruna rush in and inform her and the rest of the class about their disappearance along with Negi and Konoka's.

Meanwhile, Negi and the group are making a progress in their study during their two days underground, though they're suspicious of the accommodations and luxury of the facility despite its age. After a while, the girls decide to take a break and go bath in the spring, teasing Negi when he comes to check on them. Negi also runs into Asuna relaxing and helps her bandaging her wound from when she protected him from the fall, and eventually reveals to the latter about his circumstance should the 2-A Class is unable to improve their grade, shocking Asuna.

However, the group's relaxing time is interrupted when one of the golem resurfaces and captures Makie.
