Gakuen Alice 17

Chapter 17.
Narumi: “Mikan, create many companions you can trust….they will surely become a great strength for you in the future.”
1 week since Mikan has become a single star. Waking up all happy and showing off to everyone how her situation has gotten much better compared to when she was a no star.(Food, room, allowance ect) Mikan finds herself quite popular in class because everyone wants to know what exactly happened in her (& Perm’s) adventure in saving Natsume from Reo. MIkan and Perm keep going on and on about how spectacular they were in fighting Reo, then Ruka-pyon and Natsume enter the room. Everyone running to Natsume “Are you alright!” Mikan smiles to Natsume but he ignores her, She thinking to herself that she now knows a secret (About Natsume work at school) which she cannot tell but got the opportunity to see many sides of Natsume and Perm which she never knew. Ruka-pyon sweetly smiles “Good morning” to Mikan. Hotaru is ready to catch this picture selling smile on camera. Narumi starts class by talking about this week being taken for preparations of the Alice festival. All Alice separated class’ will create event booths and compete each other. Mikan asks around what everyone will be part of. Anna says she will take part of a coffee shop, while Nonoko will take care of first aide and also selling at the “invention shop”. Hotaru, already busy inventing is consumed in her own world not hearing Mikan’s question nor Perm’s older brother telling her to work in the Gijutsu-kei classroom. Nonoko explanes that Hotaru is the hope of the Gijutsu-kei and very popular at the moment so extremely busy. Iincho explaines he will take care of the illusions for the Haunted mansion. Misaki-sensei comes over to get the Gijutsu-kei students who are late for class, Hotaru ignores him. Then Mikan asks Ruka-pyon what he will be part of. Ruka-pyon shy doesn’t want to answer but Perm jumps in to explain they’ll be part of a musical. Mikan imagines a very silly musical….Ruka-pyon tells her to stop imagining such stupidities. She then asks what Kokoroyomi will be. “Oh I’ll be the mirror of truth”. Serina-sensei comes over to get the senzai-kei students Kokoroyomi & Iincho. Mikan, seeing it’s time to go, is excited to find out how her class, the Tokuryoku-kei is doing. But Mikan’s happy feeling quickly turns down when she realizes that her class doesn’t have a teacher(she just didn’t meet him yet)…… Entering the class, Tsubasa and the others are working hard at creating their RPG. A man popping out of nowhere bumps into Mikan. Tsubasa introduces Noda-sensei(Nodacchi) the teacher of Tokuryoku, to Mikan. NOdacchi is the Time tripping Alice, and though he has a alice control bracelet he still cannot completely control his alice and often accidentally timetrips for months to the future and past.Noda-sensei tells Mikan that she is a rare alice and actually the only nullification alice now at alice gakuen, but that together they will slowly try to make her stronger and more stable. Mikan finds Noda sensei to be a very nice and calm and a little clumsy. Because since arriving to school Mikan has not yet gotten a proper tokuryoku class, Noda senssei tells her that today she will not take part of the festival preparations but have a separate class with him to make her stronger. Noda-sensei explaines that there are 4 types of alices: 1: an alice which only appears when during childhood and slowly disappears with age. 2: Type which can only use small amounts of their strength but can use for a much longer period(for life). 3: type which can use their alice very strongly but every time they use their alice they shorten the life of their alice (Meaning the more they use the less long they will be able to have their alice.) 4: a rare type which in compensation to having no limit to their alice, the more they use the alice they shorten their lifespan. Mikan asks noda-cchi what his type of alice is and he says he think it’s the 2nd type. She then asks about what the first type “only during childhood” means, and Tsubasa explains that he remembers sometimes having classmates who after aging would completely loose their alices and get thrown out of school. She realizes that maybe there is someone like that close to her that may loose their alice with age and be taken out of school. Nodacchi explaines that except the first type, other types of alice if properly used can be kept for a lifetime. Misaki points out that the 4rth type is a bit different because though the alice does not have any limits, using the alice slowly kills the user. Mikan thinks about Natsume, and wonders”why did I just think about Natsume…” Nodacchi tells MIkan that the best way to help her power up is to learn to use her alice. So he tells her to use her alice and stop him from timetripping. Mikan panics a little but was able to use her alice and nullify Nodacchi’s alice stoping him from time tripping. Nodacchi tells crying Mikan, a long time ago there was someone who had the same alice as you, and he could use his alice to help others, so I thought maybe you were the same. Nodacchi tells Mikan that shall try as hard as possible ‘till the end of the festival preparations to make her alice stronger…..but simply 3 seconds later Mikan failed to use her alice and Nodacchi is gone time tripping somewhere.
