Of Negima!? you mean? Well, this is sort of a basic outline, but...
Spoiler for Negima!? Anime really basic plot outline:
As with the manga and original anime, Negi came to Mahora Academy as part of his quest to become a full-fledged magi. (Unlike the manga, though...) A melevolent force has stolen the Star Crystals though, and this all sorts of problems for Negi and his students. To assist him in these struggles, he forms contracts with the girls (called "pactios"), and this allows them to gain magical powers and fight along his side. The deeper they dig into the Star Crystal mystery, though, the more things start going wrong/weird. This includes encounters with a mysterious figure called the Black Rose Baron. Is he/she good, evil, or simply weird? Eventually the entire class gets transported to an alternate world, where Negi's magic secret is revealed to all the students. To break free from that world, the whole class forms pactios with Negi, but instead of being transported back to the real world, they're stuck in an alternate magic world that seems like the real school but isn't. Here they must continue to work together to unravel the mystery of the Star Crystals, as they try to make their way back home. In practical terms on a week to week basis, this means a lot of quasi-random situations, really quirky humour, and a ton of parodies, and Japanese word puns (in fact, I'd argue that the entire show is practically one parody after another). The overall direction, though, like the manga, is to show Negi gaining confidence, forming friendships with his students, and basically growing up.
