Yuka was puzzled to know that Koizumi Luna,
one of the assassins in the secret section of the Academy to be near Mikan.

Shidou suggested that since they had no idea why and for what reason Luna was called for,
he concluded that Mikan had been targeted. Judging from the possibilities of a Soul Sucking ALICE user, Luna's aim could be to first, suck out souls of people around Mikan and control them, or second, to suck out
soul at one go so that the victim would die.

At that point, Yuka feared the thought that Luna is near Mikan.

Shidou then continued saying that before they can know whichever aim Luna and
gang were planning, they could not make any concrete judgement.

However, if they were to think that if Mikan was treated like an eyesore, and making use of
a Soul Sucking ALICE user, Luna, just to attack one elementary student, then it could only be one possibility.
That is to lure Yuka back to the Academy.

Apparently, Yuka had did something to the Principal for the sake of 'reset' (i wonder what that 'reset' meant...)

If that possibility is true, their aim would be to test everyone of the Z organisation out of their wrath towards them.
From this point onwards, how much would the academy allow Mikan's actions to escalate...


The scene pulls off to the Kibasen.

**I shall skip the details on that**
But generally, all the teams are doing great with the Red team in the lead until HYPER Kokoroyomi-kun read out the inner thoughts and various strategies of everyone's hearts.

That brought a gradual comeback for the White team.

Mikan almost fell off Tsubasa's back but Tsubasa's ALICE saved her from touching the ground.

Meanwhile, Luna found a new target to use her ALICE on.

While Mikan were Tsubasa were bickering about what to do and stuffs, they found themselves surrounded by the enemies when one of the Red team members pounced onto Mikan suddenly.

Almost all the students that witnessed that were shocked because that boy just attacked someone from his own team. But that made Mikan realised that something was wrong with that boy.

She realised that that boy was always involved in accidents related to her. That boy was present during the ruckus caused earlier during the practice, he is also the same boy that brought Mikan up in the air with his Psychic ALICE and lost control.

Tsubasa shouted, "You're in my team yet what are you doing? Stop it! Oi!"

Mikan and that boy were struggling that Mikan almost fell. She opened her eyes only to find that everything had returned to normal.

That boy that attacked her looked lost and wondered what had he been doing all this time.

Tsubasa asked if Mikan had used her ALICE. She checked her sticker and was surprised to see that the light on one level of her star sticker was gone. She opened her left arm and could not believed that she saw tiny ALICE stones in it. She could not understand how those stones got into her hand and why was the light on her sticker gone. But she suspected that the reason why everyone had returned to normal could be due to the ALICE stones in her hand.

The Principal that was seated in one of the shaded areas saw all that had happened was surprised that everyone that were controlled had regained their senses.

"Sa...Sakura.." said that boy that attacked her, "We... did something cruel to you...what should we do..."

Seeing the worried expressions on that boy's face, Mikan clinched the hand with the ALICE stones in it and replied,

"You... your spectacles... aren't the degrees correct? You saw me as the enemy!! That's right!! I bet someone had played a trick on you by switching your spectacles!!"

"Sakura.."

"That's it! That's it! Seriously! I was shocked!" continued Mikan, "But i am all right now! No worries! Let's go! Let's join our forces and beat the enemy!! The one same enemy!"

In Mikan's heart, she knew and was certained that whatever that had happened, those kids were innocent. The real culprit was, Mikan turned and looked at, Luna.

Just then, Hotaru grabbed Mikan and threw her. Tsubasa and You-chan hurried to catch her before she falls.

"Beating the enemy, right?" said Hotaru. "Give it all."

Hotaru, Mikan thought.

And Mikan threw herself at Luna with all her might. While she was hitting Luna, words that Luna said to her before rung in her head but Mikan could care no more after knowing how much sufferings that b***h (oops) girl in front of her had caused. She could no longer forgive Luna.

However, Luna is no weakling. She was all angry that she pulled Mikan down and blew (or suck) something into (or out of) Mikan's neck.

"Sakura! Look out!" shouted someone. (i believed that was Ruka xD)

Mikan then fell into unconsciousness.
She fell off Tsubasa's back altogether.

Tsubasa concluded that because Mikan had overused her ALICE thus she fainted.
On the other side, Luna had too, fainted.

For the reason that Luna had fainted, the game was concluded.
The winner goes to the Red Team.
