Aside from the fact that the chapter title is almost the same as with chapter 245, that was a good chapter, and we finally get official confirmation from Dynamis that there's more than one Fate. And only Negi can fight them. Hmm, smells like preparation for a future arc IMO.
That aside, Negi had some control over his transformation, enough to prevent killing Shiori. Can't say that we weren't expecting that. It's good to see her trust in Negi though.
Only 7/4 hours remaining eh? That should be how much, 15 chapters at most? I really want to fast forward until Negi fighting fate.
