Chapter 1 Comparison

This is the first chapter of the series and it may have just been the most revised one of the bunch. Originally, Del-Ray filled this chapter with dirty jokes and changed dialogue to set up puns. There are a few inconsistencies, such as saying Negi would be turned into a hamster rather than ermine, Asuna "chucking rocks" as she's clearly seen breaking part an eraser, and it seems like they thought Anya was Negi's sister.

You can see a full comparison below!

	Why is the Dean making you do this, anyway?		But hey. You’re the headmaster’s granddaughter. Why do you have to go meet the new teacher?
	‘Cause I’m his granddaughter.		Sorry.

	Well, if this new teacher is your gramp’s pal, he must be an old fart.		If he’s a friend of that old geezer, he’s probably an old geezer, too.

	Because I’m so dedicated to Takahata-sensei…?		I’m gonna kill you.

	No, ‘cause you’re so gullible. I made it up, cheese head.		Let’s see, next it says stand on your head and do an upside-down sprint at full speed for 50 meters, and meow like a cat...

	You’ll find out yourself, since he’s taking over my class.		And it’s my understanding that, starting today, he will take my place as class A’s homeroom teacher.
	Wai- What?		Aww.

	You’re not serious, Takahata-sensei! If… If he replaced you, it would…		B-But! I don’t like this kid! Just a few minutes ago, he randomly said something about heartbr… I mean something horribly rude to me..
	Break your heart?		But it’s true.
	Yes! Break my- Hey!		Don’t say it’s true.

	Shut up! Who asked you!!!		First of all, I hate kids!
	Of all the unfair, unreasonable… You nit! You nothing! You-		And you’re an insensitive, runty, miniature, flea-sized...

	Hold on here.		Hey, could we hold on a minute here!?

	Hellooo! This is me, still not buying a kid for a teacher!		I-I mean, a kid teacher!? Don’t you think there’s something wrong with that!?
	It’s… It’s totally unacceptable!!!		And our homeroom teacher!?

	It is not for you to accept, Asuna…		Negi-kun.
	...but for me to. And I do….		This training will likely be quite difficult.

	...for now. But Negi, if you fail your training…		If you fail, you will have to return to your homeland.
	...there will be no second chances, clear?		And you will not get another chance, are you prepared for that?

	Crystal, sir. If I fail…		Y-Yes, Sir! I am ready to teach!

	Ugh		Erk!
	Huh?!		Eh...?
	That’s fine.	--

	We’re supposed to learn from him and wet nurse him!? This is-		Argh! But, Headmaster! This is all so wrong!
