I'm curious to see who else from Negi's class you guys believe will make a Pactio with Negi? (Manga only please)
My personal opinion is one, at most two, more characters will get a Pactio card. The seven Negi has now is really pushing Akamatsu's abilities as it is, so I doubt there will be many more. I'm leaning toward Ku Fei and/or Kaede as future partners. My first reason is that they are already heavily involved in Negi's life as a wizard, and it would seem to be a natural follow-through. My second reason is that Negi's Pactio partners are lacking in offensive ability; there are four support/information/healing types, two attackers (not counting Negi), and one flexible type (who can be either attack or support). While Ku and Kaede make up for that, having a Pactio with them would boost their offensive ability significantly.
I just feel that having more than 8 or 9 partners would just end up bogging down the story and making it rather unwieldy and clumsy. Just look at the mess of the School Festival! While he managed to pull it off, I felt like I had ADD with the way things jumped around I just think we probably won't see many more Pactios in the future.
What do ya'll think?
