Gakuen Alice 79

Mikan was shocked that Natsume did not agree to join her team for the Sports Festival. Narumi saw that, he then told Mikan that since she has already become so familar with the school, and that Natsume had no problems with Luna, he asked if it's alright for her to switch her partner with Luna. He asked Natsume for his opinions too. Sure enough, Natsume had no objections. Mikan was even more puzzled at how the things turned out. That concluded the HomeRoom lesson.

After Narumi walked out of the classroom, Teacher Misaki called out to him. He asked what was his meaning of doing what he had done. Narumi just turned and walked away. It was a flashback between Misaki & Narumi. Misaki asked Narumi to show him his arm because Narumi has been hiding it since the Christmas Party. Also, Narumi has been visiting the hospital lately, playing with Misaki's medicine rack and Misaki had also heard that Narumi had been going in and out of the Principal's office. Misaki then went on and asked what Narumi was hiding. Narumi then defended himself saying that Misaki was mean to say that he was hiding something. Misaki added that he knew something about the new transferred student though he did not discover anything before. He asked Narumi what is he going to do about that new student... That's the end of the flashback... Back to the main scene, Narumi had escaped from Misaki again. Jinno, who was together with Misaki recalled a line that Narumi had said before; "Don't worry, I will definitely protect Mikan. Even if i had to exchange something for it."

Back to the elementary classroom... Mikan was pondering about Narumi's behavior earlier. She felt that Narumi was behaving weirdly but even though it was an odd behavior, she felt that it was typical of him because Narumi had always been doing weird things. (Kokoroyomi came over and continued the sentence) However, weird Narumi had been, still, it was different. What the difference was, Mikan did not know. Iinchou then mentioned that though we could not understand what Narumi had done earlier, it was Natsume's behavior that had caught the attention. Mikan was reminded of what Natsume had done earlier

- Telling Mikan to stay in her seat when Luna was hinting her to leave

- Choosing White Team instead of the Red when she asked him to

It then came to Iinchou's attention that Ruka had gone. Hotaru then replied; "Isn't he at the toilet with You-chan?" Ruka had been looking for Natsume, when he had finally found him and was about to call out to him, he heard

Natsume talking to Luna; "let go of me, shitty girl! How long do you plan to cling onto me? You're disgusting me to hell!"

After Luna received what Natsume had said, she gave Natsume a slap on his face!

Luna said; "You are disgusting me to hell?(the same line earlier) That should be my line! Who do you think you're talking to? Shitty brat!" She grabbed Natsume's head and continued: "You're just like your mother who died young, those eyes. Those detestful, disgusting red eyes... Actually, it should have been more fun that arrogant brats like you that should be targeted. Oh well, that kid is that kid, since there's some fun with that kid, it's alright then. You better not do anything extra, for your sake and that kid's. Since i am a kind girl, i shall forgive your behavior earlier as an exception. Let's go, Natsume-kun."

Both Ruka & You-chan had overheard that conversation. What Luna had said earlier was still ringing at the back of Ruka's ears; "You better not do anything extra...- Target" He thought; ''Natsume....''

The scene changes to the Sports Festival. The 2 teams, Red & White were told to line up for instructions. Over here, both Sakurano Syuuichi & Imai Subaru were giving out the instructions. Sakurano explained that there are 3 rounds of games where indivuduals were allowed to use their Alices. During which, the rules as to the amount of Alice that could be used would be announced. Any rules violations will cause the team to lose points and how serious the offense was would be dealt accordingly to the various penalties. Imai then proceeded with the rules.1. Do not use Alice at any injured or sick persons. If there are any casualties, the culprit will be disqualified and receive a penalty.2. Anyone who uses his or her Alice more than 3 times, will be disqualified immediately. All participants were asked to paste a special "Three-Counter" Alice sticker on their shirts during the event. The star-shaped sticker is divided into 3 parts. The first block of it will light up if the student uses 1 time of his/her Alice and that the sticker will lose its stickiness once the 3rd block of the sticker is light up. Anyone without the sticker would be disqualified immediately and receive a penalty. After the instructions, Mikan was cheered up a bit even after though she was a little depressed due to the team arrangements earlier. She felt that the Sports Festival might be interesting after all.

Just then, Imai Subaru, who was in their team and also the representative of the Potential Class, appeared. He said that the Sports Festival in the Alice Academy is different from other schools. It is a battle using the brains of how effective can one control their Alice to win, and that a strategy is important to decide the win-lose of a team. To know the Alices of self and the enemy's and the road to winning is there. Subaru added; "Students of Potential class, Special class and half of Dangerous class, because of that reason, do not get in contact with any students of the Technical class, Physical class and half of Dangerous class unnecessarily until the Sports Festival has ended!" And Mikan was dragged away. Hotaru said; "Bye bye, Mikan," Over here, Sakurano added an extra rule which he had forgotten to say earlier, it was, the winner of this Sports Festival will receive a luxurious special prize. Mikan was all down because she has expected a fun Sports Festival. Iinchou then comfort her by saying that it'll turn out to be fun only that it'll be tough. Mikan took a glance at the White Team. There's Ruka-pyon, Hotaru, Perm, Anna, Nonoko and Natsume. Just as Natsume's image went into Mikan's eyes, he turned and looked at her. At that instant, Mikan looked away thinking that the 'battle' does not look good. Just then someone tapped on her head. It was You-chan! But it was not the 3-year-old-body but his 13-year-old look! He was able to transform to and for in between the 3-year-old look & the 13-year-old look was all because of the side effects of the Gulliver sweet that he had taken during the Princess Party.

Iinchou said; "Mikan-chan, it's going to be alright. Although it seems like a battle between enemy and friends earlier. But everyone has the spirit to work for it, so let's put our spirit together and work hard for it. The Sports festival will definitely turn out to be fun regardless of who's the enemy or who's the friend. Mikan-chan has us by your side anyway. Let's work hard together. " Mikan was liven up a bit by Iinchou's encouragement.

Over at the White Team, looks like Sumire and all were worried for Mikan. However, they were rather relieved seeing that she was cheered up again. Sumire felt that nothing could be worse than to be grouped with the new student. And because she expressed her anger out loud in words, Nonoko told her that she could be heard. However, Sumire could not be bothered with Luna's feelings and that it does not matter even if she was heard by her. Sumire felt that the new student was weird in all ways. She said; "That girl has been looking at Natsume perversely since the first day of school, and she was always surrounded with boys. It was as if her Alice had something got to do with attracting boys. I can't belive she's in the Physical class! She uses her Alice type as an excuse to push away troublesome things at her own convenience. Just what on earth is she?!"

Over at the Red team...Mikan was approached by some students warning her that if she dared to use her Alice to nullify Luna's Alice again, she will not be let off easily. Ofcourse, Mikan had no idea whatsoever the guys were talking about. The students added that they knew Mikan hated Luna and had secretly nullified her Alice when she was about to show them what her Alice was. The students said even meaner things to Mikan that they knew Mikan was unhappy about Luna because she has been with Natsume all this while and that it's very despicable of her to do such things to Luna when she knew about Luna's condition. Iinchou and Kokoroyomi were aroused by the attention. The students continued saying that they did not wish to say such things to Mikan either and hope that she would stop this "so-called" joke at Luna. And the students left. Leaving Mikan all blanked out. Hotaru then realised that Luna had been spreading things around, and students whom she was talking to, had mysterious marks left on their necks. Back at the red team...Iinchou called out to Mikan. Mikan tried to explain that she had done nothing. Kokoroyomi, Kitsuneme and Iinchou said together; "We understand. You did nothing, you did nothing." Mikan was shocked that before she tried to speak, the boys already knew. They explained that they did not know why but it seems that everyone has mistaken about Mikan that she had nullified Luna when she failed to show her Alice in class. Iinchou felt that the states of the kids surrounding Luna were different, or rather it seems that they were attracted because of pheromones. But then, Luna is not able to use her Alice rashly. Just then, Luna uttered something under her breath. Meanwhile, someone from the High School department had called for Sakurano and Imai to go over. They were worring what would happen next but they were left with no choice to go. After they had left, all the equipment began to fly and they all went towards Mikan. That ruckus attracted Ruka's, Hotaru's and of course Natsume's attention. Sadly, none of them were near Mikan to save her. Mikan was, however, saved by someone....came the voice; "Over here, Mikan-chan!" She was pulled into what it looks like a sports equipment room. And the came voice behind; "It should be alright now" A figure resembling Luna was standing behind of Mikan...
