Chapter 78
Some great things are going happen and have happened at the Alice Academy.
They are, the Sports Festival (coming soon), the presence of Fuukitai (already happened), and the new transferred student to the B class (happening).
The new student is called Koizumi Luna. Her presence had caused a huge ruckus in the class as most of the students were curious about her ALICE. Just as the class was asking many questions at the background, questions like how old she is, what's her ALICE type and all, Narumi explained that it's forbidden for her to use her ALICE unless it's really required because each time she uses her ALICE, her life will be shortened (arrrrgh! WHY?! She's just like Natsume!!!!!!).
Narumi added that the class is forbidden to play any pranks on her just to make her show her ALICE.
As usual, Sumire was not fancy of this new face. However, Mikan sensed that there was something more to it (just like me, i bet Sumire doesn't like it because her ALICE type is the same as Natsume).
So then, Narumi was arranging her to sit with one of the classmates.
However, Luna did not seem to be too fond of sitting beside someone with mucus hanging down from the nose.
She started coughing and Narumi got the sign that she did not want to sit there thus told her to pick her own seat.
And yes, SHE WENT TOWARDS NATSUME, MIKAN & RUKA!!!!!
She stared at the 3 of them as Narumi tried to tell her that she could not sit with Natsume because he already had Ruka and Mikan by his sides. Luna started coughing that one of her classmates told Mikan to let Luna to sit with Natsume.
Mikan was lost and did not know what to do. Luna then looked at her with puppy eyes and said, Thank you to her. Given Mikan's personality, she stood up and was about to move away.
Ok. Paused. NATSUMExMIKAN fans please hold your breath.
You'll love this part here.
Natsume held Mikan's left arm and said, " What? Who's gonna sit beside you is up to ME to decide! Stay here, Mikan!" (KYAA x 100000000! ≧▽≦)
That line surprised many in the class. Luna was not happy about it. She started coughing at Natsume and some blood came out of her mouth.
Given Natsume's personality, he had no choice but to give in.
Then, Sumire and the rest were discussing about that girl.
Sumire thought that she was a frightening girl, one of them agreed with her while another person pointed that she was not weak physically but using that as a stunt to get to her way.
The discussion went on to that they were surprised that such people with such ALICE type do exist and how tough their life would be.
Mikan then gave some thought about that girl's ALICE type -- Life would be shortened each time ALICE is used.
She wondered if Natsume's mission over since the last incident (the Flower Princess case)...
Just then, Luna said that she's going to show the class her ALICE. That attracted many's attention including Mikan's.
Just as Luna was going to execute her ALICE she said,
"Hmm? i am sure that i am using my ALICE already..."
a boy asked, "What happened?"
Luna continued, "Sorry.. i am tired already. I am afraid that i can't use my ALICE any further. I am sure that i have used my ALICE but it felt that something had erased it..."
Then, the group of people around Luna turned to look at Mikan.
Mikan was taken aback because that was totally unexpected (i don't blame her.. i was surprised too... =.=). But of course, Mikan did nothing. Her classmates were suspicious of that too, knowing how weak Mikan is at using her ALICE. However, that caught Natsume's and You-chan's attention who were at the back of the class.
Mikan said, "What?! Wait! Di..Did i nullify Koizumi-san's ALICE?"
The word "Nullify" caught Luna's attention. Then Mikan proceeded on giving Luna a self-introduction of herself that she is Sakura Mikan, Nullificaion ALICE.
Luna's facial expression then began to change (it was scary!!! >_<).
Natsume & You-chan had been watching at the back.
Luna began stretching her hand to touch Mikan.
Just as she was about to do that.....
Ok. Relax people~ *breathe in & out*
Hotaru pushed Mikan aside while Natsume held Luna's hand so that she could not get near Mikan.
Mikan was not sure what happened but she was shocked.
Just then, lesson resumed.
Luna pretended that nothing had happened before and told Natsume, "Let's sit together, Natsume ♥"
Mikan could not take the fact that Natsume and Luna actually held hands and sat together. Narumi then knew that Natsume had sensed something about the new girl.
Yeap, Natsume was 'forced' to sit with Luna because he suspected that Luna was somebody sent to be against of Mikan.
Mikan was totally confused as she remembered that earlier Natsume told her to stay at her seat and now he is with another girl (does it suggest that she was jealous? xD)
In the meantime, Narumi thought he would want to decide on the groupings for the Sports Festival....
The scene then changed to Imai Subaru and Sakurano Syuuichi.
Syuuichi told Subaru that Natsume seems to have noticed (about the new student).
Subaru then said that if he did not realise anything it would be a headache because it can only be him to protect Mikan. However, there seemed to be another one protecting Mikan.... (in fact, there are many people out there looking out for Mikan ne~)
Just then at the classroom, You-chan was playing with Mikan.
You-chan had been in the classroom with them. But all he did was to sleep. If he was not sleeping, he would be daydreaming... (how cuuuuuuuute! ≧▽≦ he reminds me Shimizu Keiichi from La Corda D'Oro ≧▽≦)
And finally, the teams for the sports festival had been decided.
There will be 2 teams, and the members in there are grouped according to their ALICE class.
Red Team : Potential Class & Special Class
White Team: Technical Class & Physical Class
As for the Dangerous Class, they have the freedom to choose between the 2.
Mikan then turned to look at Natsume and Luna came into the picture again...
She said, "I am in the Physical Class. You will come right? White Team."
Mikan was not happy again. She asked Natsume if he was really going over to the White Team. She was thinking, "i don't want!" in her heart...
While Natsume was reminded of what he was told about what the school would do to Mikan, if he behaves like a good boy...
Mikan then said, "Don't go! I wish you could come over to the Red Team!" (KYAAAA~! Way to go girl!)
Natsume wanted to be with Mikan (even if he was not asked...) but upon thinking about what the school might do to her, he joined the White Team.
Luna was pleased but Ruka was speechless...
The line that Natsume told Ruka was reminded at the background, "Ruka, i am protecting her using my way. You too, protect her using your way.."
Mikan was even more puzzled because Natsume's behaviour had been weird then and now.
She thought, Natsume.......
END.
