I noticed we really don't have anyplace to talk about recent chapters.

Just looked at the raw, and it appears that this fight is over and Chao is beaten. Can't tell exactly what was going on, but it looked like Chao's magic wasn't natural and copped out on her at the end. That does explain why she hasn't used it before.
Haruna and Kei won their fight, but I was expecting that. As it was against copies of Chachamaru I am not surprised that it wasn't shown. I still expect the finish of Chisame's fight with Chachamaru to be shown, the same with the Kaede/Mana fight.
I'm pulling for Hakase to finish the spell while Negi was fighting (and likely saving in the next chapter) Chao. I think it would be good for the story if Chao was willing to really sacrifice herself to accomplish her goal, and did so. So as much as I like her (and I do quite a bit,) I'm pulling for Chao to be permanently damaged by this battle.
