Special Alice (Gakuen Alice / Alice Academy FF)

SA 63 - Recovery

{Author}

One week later, both Mikan and Misaki successfully recovered from Persona's alice. Tono and Tsubasa took the two back to their own dorm rooms to rest but they still checked their recovery status once in a while.

However, regarding the Hanahime-den incident, no one dared to talk about it. Even Inchou and the others knew nothing about it and weren't allowed to be informed. Sakurano and Subaru forced their mouths shut, keeping everything a secret. Newspapers circulated around the Academy, informing about the past incident involving the Hyuuga siblings. The Academy didn't seem to take any action after that.

The ones involved pretended that nothing happened, basically Tsubasa, Tono, Subaru, and Sakurano. While Mikan and Misaki were busy recovering - more likely unconscious for days, Youichi was brought to the hospital because of the side effect of the Gulliver's candy that he ate. With his ungrown body and the side effect, his body couldn't go back to its original size.

The doctors couldn't get the candy out as it somehow turned into a part of Youichi's body and stayed within. Because of that, Youichi suddenly had the ability to grow and shrink, so the Academy prepared his clothes for the situation as well.

After the uproar, Aoi accepted to receive treatment for her vision and memories, causing other students to gossip about her. Aoi would be sent back outside to her guardian if no students were against it. Mikan, who had just woken up after a week, was fetched by Hotaru, Permy, Inchou, Anna, Nonoko, Mochiage, Kitsuneme, and Koko from her room.

" You ready, Mikan-chan?" Inchou smiled warmly at her. Mikan nodded her head while her thoughts were filled with Aoi. " Aoi-... is she-." Mikan was suddenly cut off by Hotaru, who was beside her.

" About that, Mikan. We must go quickly since today is the day of the arranged meeting. We arranged it in order to avoid further suspicions. Misaki's already there before you." Hotaru explained patiently. Mikan, Hotaru, Inchou, and the others rushed to the meeting place, at the Academy's front gate.

" Sakura!" Ruka exclaimed after seeing Mikan fully recovered while smiling widely. Misa was carrying Youichi in her arms before greeting the others too.

" Finally, you're here." Tsubasa heaved a short sigh, and beside him stood Misaki senpai, who was happy that Mikan is back.

Aoi's attention went to Mikan, who had just arrived. Her eyes sparkled and went wide. " Ah, Mikan.." she could not contain her smile as she saw her. However, Mikan was startled, shocked to see that Aoi's treatment was successful.

" Aoi." Mikan muttered and dashed towards Natsume's sister. Both clasped their hands together happily and exchanged joyous squeals. " It's really Mikan-chan! She looks cute as I imagined her to be!" she beamed and continued to check Mikan's appearance.

" Your eyes!" Mikan gasped while her eyes went wide in disbelief. " Fully recovered, thanks to everyone!" she giggled along with Aoi. Misa sweatdropped seeing them so happy.

" Completely different with Natsume." Misa suddenly retorted, causing Natsume, who was beside her, to glare at her for a moment.

Hotaru wasn't sure if Mikan could be that energetic and excited with her current health. " Mikan, relax... you just recovered too." she reminded. Mikan suddenly stopped and laughed as she scratched her head. " Right, sorry~." she apologized immediately.

Mikan told Aoi that she's fine and how Tono kept saying weird stuff to her. Asking her to steal his and Tsubasa's alice or even trying to make an alice stone. She clearly had no idea what their point was.

" Shouldn't this meeting be a secret? Why are you all here?" Natsume suddenly spoke and pointed at Koko and the others who cheered happily after they finally received Natsume's attention.
