Gakuen Alice 61

Tsubasa senpai has arrived and saved Mikan and the others from being cursed by Rui. Tsubasa is holding Rui and Hayate by the shadow therefore they cannot move, but in the darkness Nor Tsubasa or Rui/hayate can see who's there. Mikan, surprised to see Tsubasa runs to him excited asking why he's there. Tsubasa explains about Nobara leading him there saying that Mikan and Natsume were in grave danger. He added that that Nobara disappeared and he accidentally found them while roaming around the underground lost. Because (as explained in the 2 last chapters) their Alices don't work properly, Tsubasa looses grip of the 2 kikennouryoku and Hayate attacks with his wind. Hayate and Tsubasa are surprised because they know each other since they are in the same class. (Tsubasa doesn't remember Hayate's name) Tsubasa wonders why his Alice didn't work well and Hotaru explains. Hayate is jealous and screams at Tsubasa because he and Hotaru are talking closely. Tsubasa realises that if Hayate is there than the other (Rui) must be there too. Rui in extasy: "Tsubasa-kun! Oh My! How long it's been! That feeling in my chest (refer to earlier chapter) that was you wasn't it! Meeting in such a place, Rui is so happy! Loving it!" Rui tries to jump into Tsubasa's arms. Natsume is fighting with the other kikennouryoku (forgot his name) he seems to control insects. He takes his bandage off his eyes (which we do not see yet) Natsume with frightened eyes thinking; "Aoi! Aoi!" back to Rui running after Tsubasa who's running away. Little by little Rui is getting angry. Hotaru remembers about Tsubasa saying that his star on his face was a punishment, a kind of curse which could only be taken away from the one who gave it. That must be Rui. Rui uses his Alice to send Pain into Tsubasa star on his face and while Tsubasa is down to the floor from the pain, Rui jumps! He is leaping towards Tsubasa. Bakyuun! Hotaru's weapon shoots Rui to the face. Hotaru excuses herself saying this weapon shoots automatically when it finds stupid or ugly people, it's not her fault. Rui extremely angry begins to spread a very strong curse alice. Hayate, scared for Hotaru, tells them that when Rui has those eyes that it's extremely dangerous, to run away. They all wonder: "isn't he supposed to be the enemy?" Hotaru: "another idiot here" she shots Hoayate away. Hotaru says that they have no choice but to defeat them if they want to save Natsume and that they have no time to waste. She tells Mikan to concentrate on her alice to her very best, Yo-chan to try a little more and Ruka-pyon: "let's go" Ruka-pyon concentrates and calls upon the mice that were roaming around the basement to help in their fight. The mice crawl on Rui and Hayate helping Ruka-pyon etc. Ruka-pyon says that before meeting Mikan and Hotaru, Natsume had lost all wish to live but now he was diferent. He says he will fight Hayate and Rui, and Mikan to go save Natsume. Mikan refuses saying that if Ruka-pyon doesn't go, there's no meaning. Ruka-pyon is the one that Natsume needs by his side. Tsubasa and Yo-chan push Ruka-pyon on Mikan and say the the "otome-gumi"(girl unit) should go save Natsume and they (Tsubasa/Yo-chan will take care of Rui and Hayate. And Tsubasa has a dept to pay back to Rui (the curse). Rui is even angrier because Tsubasa seems confident, but quicklly gets his temper back when Tsubasa says he usually doesn't like to fight girls. Rui: "girl? me? oh my" Mikan remembers Narumi-sensei's words: “Mikan, make many friends you can count on. Some day they will become a great strenght to you" Mikan: "let's go"

Narumi is looking at the post card Ruka-pyon recieved from his parents Narumi: "the banquet finished and they still have not come back..." Narumi thinks about a conversation he had with Sarina-sensei when Mikan was being tested in the northern forest (first volume) and Narumi believed that Mikan may be the key person in helping out Natsume. Misaki is on her cell and calling out to Tono-senpai; "Tono! over here!" Narumi believed that Natsume have found his light in the darkness called Mikan. Natsume is still fighting and Nobara has begun to awaken. Her eyes area is strange, in a trance. Ruka-pyon says while they are neither waling in the darkness that he has something he wants to tell them, that Natsume is not a criminal nor a killer. They wonder if Natsume being in this school have anything to do with his sister. Ruka-pyon: “I want to tell you what happen before we came to this school. I want to tell you Natsume's real story."
