Gakuen Alice 52

Narration: For what purpose has Nobara-chan come... This chapter begins with Nobara-chan explaining why she decided to come over and why her appearance. She explains that those of her class keep pushing her away (as always) and not leting her help in the class cleaning. While looking at the snow falling she remembered the Christmas party and MIkan. She began to long to see Mikan and decided to go over to Mikan's class hoping to help out with the cleaning. (Which she ends up being more of a bother than help by her way of appearing... being mistaken for a ghost ect.) MIkan is as happy as Nobara-chan to be back together but they are very quickly separated again by Narumi who tells the student that they must go clean their respective Alice classes. In back of Narumi, Tsubasa-senpai comes to get Mikan who is a bit late for class. Mikan happily holding hands with Tsubasa tells him how glad she is he came all the way to get her, then expresses sadness to why everyone is so cold towards Nobara-chan, and why Natsume is also cold towards her too, though he's nice to Yo-chan. (in the back ground Hotaru's class is having a "bazar"(flee market) to clean their class. Hotaru has forced Ruka-pyon to take her place selling) Hotaru, eating a strange pig face, suddenly interrups the conversation: "well, everyone have their reasons (answering to MIkan's questions about people's conduct towards Nobara-chan) isn't it enough that you are nice to her?" Mikan is quickly cheered again by this. Natsume, angry towards Nobara-chan tells her to stay away from Mikan and to go back. Nobara, trembling, tells Natsume that she also came over to see him. She explains that during the christmas party she was watching Mikan from afar all the time. From the beginning to the end, The whole party, All along the dance..(Nobara herself emphasizes how much she was watching Mikan all the time and kinda freeks out Natsume) Nobara explains that she saw during one of the dances Mikan's partner porously making her mask fall off and that she could not see too well but believes that that partner was the elementary grade principal. Natsume, stunned by this, remember the warnings of persona that he is different, not to get too friendly with others. Narration also repeats the principal’s words to Mikan when her mask fell off “be careful not to loose something dear to you". The scene switched to Narumi, his right hand aching after the fortune teller squeezed it. He takes a glove off and reveals a blackened hand. Parma asks Narumi where Ruka went. "maybe he went off to help other classes." Parma: "I wonder if he's helping Natsume-kun..or maybe.." Narumi to himself: " I have to go back to B class..."

At the Tokubetsu nouryo, ku kei class, Misaki-sensei, with a tiny Ruka hiding behind, is scolding Hotaru for having left her work to be done by Ruka. Misaki-chan tells the opportunity and forces Ruka in the class asking him to help, and calls out to Mikan. (Match making again)Noda-sensei excuses himself and offers to make tea. Misaki-sensei is a bit embarrased. Mikan, still oblivious as usual, tells how grateful she is and how nice Ruka is to be helping out after helping out Hotaru. Mikan explains that she is to wipe the wall, and asks Ruka's help to move the bookshelf. Hotaru comes over and bothers. (trying to be between Ruka and Mikan.) Mikan: " ah Hotaru, you will help too?" Hotaru: "I'm just watching". Mikan: "Oh! it's full of graffiti! Ah Hotaru you'll help?" Hotaru: "just to spary detergent" poor Ruka is simply scrubbing the wall. Hotaru, pinching MIkan's face: ”Mikan, the graffiti.. it's all love confessions." both Ruka and Mikan are surprised. Mikan: "Oh! a hiddent love confession spot! (Members of the "watching over Luka" group) Tsubasa and Misaki-chan also enter the conversation. Misaki: Tsubasa: "it's the type of graffitti that can't be erased...for Ruka now". Misaki notices A graffiti by Mikan's mom and dad(though none knows)an arrow pointing up with Sensei written to the left and Yuzuka written to the right. Misaki: ”hey, that's a graffiti by a teacher and student. in love with the teacher so..that means it's that student Yuzuka. Tsubasa; "oh! a forbidden love!" they talk about how they wonder who the teacher was and some think that it's probably simply a one sided love of the student. Megane-kun: "Megane has found something interesting! Old photo albums!" Tono: "Where'd you find those. some are pretty old!" except Noda and Misaki-sensei who are having tea, students all run over excited "show me!" Elementary school age pics of Tono, Megane, Tsubasa(without his star) and Misaki-chan."they're all so young and cute!" "Ah! misaki-chan so cute!" "Noda-cchi didn't change!" "Wow! Tono's hair style, old fahioned!" "Tsubasa-senpai has no star! strange!" "let's look at even older ones!".Misaki-sensei annoyed by all the noise, Noda excusing about it. "Wa! pics of when Narumi-sensei and Misaki-sensei were kids!" Misaki-sensei surprised spits out his tea on Noda-sensei face, then runs towards the group looking at the albums with a horrified expression on his face. Misaki-sensei: "Imai! you took a picture didn't you! give it back!" A picture of Narumi and Misaki looking very similar to Natsume and Ruka(face expressions and attitude at least) "looks like the epic was taken hidden, they look angry" "narumi-sensei looks totally different from now" "Misaki-sensei too, but especially Narumi-sensei is often taken with the tokuryoku kei kids." “ah! more pics of Narumi!" All are astonished seeing the following pictures: "what are these, ghost pics?" in all the pictures a young female student and the Tokuryoku kei teacher's faces are blackened, not burned out nor graffitied on but looking more like cursed. (Hearing the conversation, Noda stalls and is listening carefully with a serious look on his face) the kids realize that it's not a coincidence but someone purposely erased the faces from the pics. Also that Narumi-sensei very often appears with the erased out(Yuzuka) face girl in the pics. At first they misunderstand as her being Narumi's GF, but Misaki-chan noticed on one of the pics of the girl a name tag on her clothes with the same name: Yuzuka. Misaki: ”Isn't that girl Yuzuka dating the teacher?!?(remembering the wall's graffiti)" Tsubasa: "Eh? she's not Naru's GF? Naru's all over her (Sticky, like a lover)" Tono: "no, I believe that's a one sided love of naru-sense." Tsubasa: "wouldn't the erased faces of the pics be Narumi venging himself from being refused?" Misaki-chan, Tono and Tsubasa laughing on the perspective of the blackened faces being done by Narumi....Noda-sensei trying to sneek out of the class like a robber. Tsubasa: ”Anyways, what's the real deal with these pics Noda-cchi? though it's been a while and you may not know the girl, you surely know about the teacher, right?" Noda: "well..umm...that teacher was, a long time ago, the Tokuryokukei teacher" Tsubasa: "a long time ago? he's not here anymore" Tono: "now that you mention, I did hear that a long time ago the teacher for the tokuryokukei was a Mukouka alice(like Mikan)" All stunned: “Mukouka Alice?!? Tono: "I don't know much.. but I did hear that that teacher for some reason quite, well isn't at the school anymore, right Noda-sensei?" Noda: "ah..yes..." a voice: " Mukouka just like Mikan" Mikan remembers about a time when Narumi told her that there used to be someone with the same alice as her and that person was always trying to use his alice to help others. Mikan, stunned but happy about knowing that a teacher with the same Alice as hers was there. They ask what happened to the teacher after, but get no answer. Mikan wonders what happened to that teacher and Yuzuka-san. Also feeling a bit sorry for Narumi-sensei. Misaki-chan then realises and comments that it shouldn't come as a surprise since 70% of Alice marriages are between alice. The kids around cleaning also comment that their parents are also a marriage between alices.

Mikan thinks to herself that maybe her parents were also a marriage between alices, that probably there was a story of her parents that happened in this school..."I wonder if they (Yuzuka&teacher) ended happily together..." Mikan is sad, thinking about the fact that the others know of their parents but that she, though somewhere, some story, some romance happened but she doesn't know those (her parents) which appear in the story. Mikan is sad about having to erase the graffittis. That's it's an important memory for someone. Tsubasa noticing Mikan and her feeling (mikan staring at the yuzukaXteacher graffiti) walks up to her and taking away the spray detergent: "well, looks important, no need to erase it. Anyways it's behind the bookshelf" Tsubasa grabs a pen and adds the the graffiti an arrow pointing to Yuzuka and writes Narumi with a broken heart. Mikan: "Ah! Tsubasa-senpai!!" Hotaru laughing her guts out, Mikan sorry for Narumi-sensei, Tsubasa adds a full heart at the top of the arrow for Yuzuka & Narumi-sensei, for them that's all that can be; I'm sure it went fine that mukouka teacher and the girl Narumi loved, I'm sure it would take a lot for them to fall appart, just like you." Tsubasa and Mikan having a "Moment" giggling silly. Tono: "what the hell's with you two?" Tono noticing the addition to the graffitti's; "Ah! you two! what the hell are you doing adding graffittis!!" Tsubasa: "ah! shut up, it's ok, it's behind the shelf" Tono adding graffitis of his own still complaines about the others having down some. Tono write: ”Tsubasa love Misaki” Tsubasa retaliates by adding a love arrow between the already added Narumi's name and Tsubasa. Misaki-chan scolds them then notices the Tsubasa love Misaki grafitti. Tsubasa quickly denies and says Tono did it. Misaki-chan: "I'll kill tono for this! hurry and erase it!" MIkan: "we have to erase it.... oh well if they're gonna be erased anyways.." Mikan adds an arrow between Yuzuka+Sensei, making a connected line down and writes "Mikan" Noda watches Mikan ( with a bit of a sad expression on his face) Mikan is surprised by Hotaru who comments that adding her name makes a perfect connection between Yuzu and Mikan fit perfectly. (students around are adding graffitis) Tsubasa and Megane-kun are fooling around adding to the wall that Nodacchi is Tono's Lover, Tono angry. More students joining, Tsubasa still fooling around says: "Then I'll add Ruka as my son" Ruka who was seriously cleaning is surprised and wonders what the hell Tsubasa's talking about. Lots of silly graffitis are added (including a Ruka loves Piyo and and very long arrow connecting Ruka love Mikan)Noda-sensei still watching Mikan remembers Narumi's words, that he has confidence that she will overcome any obstacles put before her, that she has the heart to change all sadness and happiness. Noda to himself: "Mikan-chan, make many friends you can trust. (Mikan, Hotaru, Tono, Tsubasa ectt..all having fun with the graffitis) That will surely become a great strength for you" Narumi-sensei sitting on his bed, drinking medicine and looking at his black hand; (remembers the scene with the fortune teller) "what kind of sickness was transferred to me...compensation for betrayal...looks like I paid a bit of a high price this time..." the chapter closes off with the school dark, all asleep and the graffiti "Sensei X Yuzuka=Mikan and broken heart Narumi."
