That was kind of rude. I assume you're suggesting that when Negi made a pact with the princess, he gained the artifact out of that pactio, which would be a first, so i can see why that would be confusing, especially since in the last chapter it never showed the front so you couldn't see whose card it was.
It wasn't confusing at all, I never have been confused as well as many people I know who read the manga...
The princess said it was a trump card that mean it was so that Negi gain something from it...
Now if you think that would be the princess's artifact that would hold no meaning as a trump card, since she wouldn't been able to use it against Rakan in the tournament.
She can't give him power if it's her card, she can't give him information too since it would be cheating, she can't fight alongside him since it's a tournament...
If you are suggesting that they would have cheat, it's a no no as well. You can't cheat in a tournament as big as that, a pactio is not all that uncommon, if you could cheat with that it would have been well know.
Now the only thing it can do to help Negi is being his own artefact.
I tough it was clear but it seems there's some people who don't know how to read between line...
Now about the chapter itself.
Negi trained in Eva scroll for some day, maybe even a month. I guess he now know how to use his artefact since it would be stupid to have a trump card you don't even know what it does...
About the artefact I am guessing a new staff but I hope I am wrong, I want Ken to impress me with that.
I'm pretty much sure right now Negi in Magia maebara can fight at equal ground or near that against Rakan. What I am wondering is mostly how the hell Koutaro and Shadow guys will even fight.
With these two idiots with insane strengh using big AoE spell it's gonna be a survival games for the two others fighter.
The barrier won't hold, not when both of them will get fully serious.
Now now it would be the perfect time to dispell the spell who make him look older. Someone who can fight at equal ground with Rakan? I don't think there will be someone enough stupid to try the bounty on him after having saw the fight,
I also hope that Negi won't cast a ten-thousand bolt or something like that... I've never been found of Dragon ball but Ken look like he like it.
