The 6th disc in the series that features the more athletic students in Negi's class, Makie the gymnast, Akira the swimmer, Yuuna the basketball player, and Ako the soccer player. Makie voiced by Yui Horie, who has star roles in Love Hina and Mao-chan. Since Makie was voted most favorite character in the first two Negima polls, that's probably why she got that role as she couldn't take yet another lead role in Ken Akamatsu's story.

The song this time tries to be the type of music that you pump yourself up with right before exercising and such, just so it can fit the personalities of the athletic characters. It's pretty good, but it does sound a little forced to have these high-pitched girls singing a fire-up song. The remix version tries to do much with the song, first making it really slow and then having it finish on a fast beat.

The drama track has Yuuna and Makie discovering what looks like a diamond in the construction area as they're trying to repair the dorm that got damaged by Chisame's computer exploding from last CD. Both want it, so they have a heated ping pong match. Ako is worried about their behavior so asks Akira to stop them. Akira comes over and tells them that they just picked up a piece of glass.

The cast talk has the seiyuu talking about their experiences in sports when they were growing up and what sports they enjoy now. Yui Horie says she played volleyball, but if I remember correctly, she told Rie Tanaka in her CD that she didn't join any clubs in high school. Hmm...

First edition comes with a Makie tarot card.
