"I got promoted to a single star!" Mikan exclaimed.

Shinsou barely listened. He was zoning out more than usual, questions buzzing around in his mind.

"Being a single star's not the best," Someone piped up. That, someone, was Mochiage. Mikan was unfazed as she grinned when the door opened.

When it opened, it revealed two very familiar classmates. By then, Shinsou had concluded, he was too tired for this class. Due to stress, Hitoshi's insomnia had been worsening, and it wasn't pleasant. Shinsou had a particularly sleepless night yesterday, thus, him being tired today. I hope that it's somewhat quiet today...

"Natsume-kun, Ruka-kun!" Mikan chirped, "Good morning!"

Out the window goes my hopes of quiet whenever Mikan's around. What did I expect?

Ruka smiled and replied, "Hello, Sakura-san." And of course, Mikan's greeting flew over the head of Natsume, completely ignored.

Shinsou has no idea why Natsume still insists on ignoring Mikan. Mikan's trying so hard to be friends with him but is constantly getting rejected. That's tough.

The bright Sakura didn't let that hinder her though. Mikan was quiet one moment and chatty the next, "Hotaru, what's your class going to do for the Alice Festival?"

Shinsou blinked sheepishly, Right the festival. He had totally forgotten about that. Hitoshi wondered how festivals at this academy were like, but thinking of festivals just made his heartache with a homesickness he thought he was over a long time ago. But in reality, he had simply ignored it. There were too many things going on, and now that there isn't, it's the time where the urgency of Hitoshi's situation falls atop of him. Hitoshi needs to get home somehow, but, if I leave, will everyone here be okay? Natsume'd be taking missions, and maybe even Mikan would be roped into it. If Persona was interested in Hitoshi's quirk, there's a chance he'd be interested in Mikan's Alice as well. That left a bad taste in his mouth. Untrained children should not be taking life-threatening missions. But then again, barely anyone at the academy knew about them. That must be a lot of stress on Natsume and the others...

"Hitoshi! It's time to go to our Ability Class!" Mikan said, snapping Shinsou from his thinking spree.

Hitoshi got up, "Okay, let's go."

The two walked out of the classroom door.

"So what do you think we're doing for the festival?"

"Didn't you suggest an RPG game last time?" Shinsou asked. His memory was a bit hazy, probably from lack of sleep- "It was a good idea."

Mikan grinned, "You really think so? Making the game will be soo hard but totally worth it!"

Shinsou hummed in reply. Mikan took this as the chance to keep talking, "So it's weird how the teacher wasn't present when we went to our classroom before."

Shinsou shrugged. He honestly didn't care, heck, Hitoshi hadn't noticed that until now. "Well, the teach must've had things to do or something."

"Or something," Mikan absentmindedly repeated, "What would the teacher have to do?"
