Barrier Alice | ✔

[40]

Once again, she woke up in the endless dark space. She sighed as she knows that this means she already fainted.

She was so shocked by the unexpected development. Just how much of a butterfly effect that occurs to actually have that duo, working with Z AND was much of a pain in the ass to appeared together with Reo today.

And she thought her plan already flawless.

Originally, she went to the medical center not only to take some medication to help her with her nightmares but mainly to stop the incident in which Natsume is kidnapped that will also drag the other two too. First, she makes sure to drop both Yoichi and Mirai to the recital practice so that Ruka won't bring him to the hospital- in case of unexpected development that actually dragged Yoichi in the mess. After that, she went into confirming where is Natsume's room by talking to Ruka and Sumire, which afterward planned to spend time at Natsume's room while sitting close to the alarm.

So, if Reo activates his Alice to force her into command, she could just press the alarm button faster and alert the hospital worker of an emergency in Natsume's room. That way, they can catch Reo with his crew AND prevent the dangerous rescue attempt by Mikan and Sumire. Killing 2 bird in 1 stone without unnecessary trouble.

She sigh. But then, the unexpected variable appeared, and now she passed out.

Though, she can't confirm whether they took her together or not. But considering that the duo also came into the picture, there's a high chance she will be taken too. After all, she already showed her Alice anyway.

Urgh, just why... she sighs again for the umpteenth time.

Meanwhile, near the entrance of Gakuen Alice

"What?! Amy-nee!!!" Sophie shouted at the sudden revelation, determined to chase behind after Mikan and Sumire, only to be fiercely held back by both Ruka and Hotaru.

"Sophie! Calm down. Struggling like this will only add more trouble" Hotaru says while trying to calm Sophie down.

"B-but amy-nee! It must be those people who targetted us back then!! I should have known. They will still target us even when we are already in the academy. I must save her." Sophie struggled herself out of Ruka's grip, who was silently shocked after knowing that they were targeted before transferred here.

Hotaru pulled out a baka-gun and shot at Sophie, only to be glared back by her. Hotaru just sighed and said,

"If what you say is true, then all the more reason not to blindly chase after them. You will only make all of your siblings in a much vulnerable position. Rather, we need to find Narumi-sensei. He will be able to help us with this and give confirmation to the staff of their missing whereabout. We can give this recording that they tossed at us as a proof to support our story"

Then Ruka added "Plus Sophie... Amy-san must have trusted you to take care of others in case of emergency right? We are all together in this and I will help you too!"

Listening to their words, Sophie wiped her tears away and nodded.

"Alright, let's do this!" followed by Sophie's reply, Hotaru immediately walked towards the staffroom, followed by the others. She said,

"Ok. first, Ruka. Please asked one of your animal friends to view where Mikan and Sumire headed. And to lend assistance if one of the teachers were to catch them or if they faced any trouble."

Ruka immediately nodded and blow a whistle. Calling one of the crows to help him with the task. Then Hotaru continues,

"Sophie, you need to contact Yusaku. So that he would be informed of our current situation at hand."

"Ok, I will use the earing communicator then. I will also ask him to take care of both Mirai and Yoichi first" in which soon after she quickly dialed Yusaku earings.

Hotaru just then look forward, heading to the staffroom and ready to meet with Narumi-sensei.

Stay safe - Hotaru silently thought to herself as she walked straight to where Narumi-sensei is...

"Alright, thank you all 3 of you for telling me this. Let's go together to the HQ control room. Serina-sensei who can use clairvoyant may already be there. Maybe this information will help her to focus her Alice to a few possible places. Let's go"

All 3 of them nodded and quickly followed Narumi-sensei that walked quickly towards the said destination. Narumi silently prays for their safety.

-GA-

The HQ control room in total chaos. At first, they were in a rush to search for those 2 students whom they assumed ran away in the middle of chaos. But, the situation took to a much worse turn when it turns out that they were all kidnapped- courtesy to the info bright by Narumi and 3 students.

The fact that Serina-sensei clairvoyant was also clouded just causing the situation to look grimmer. However, they did not stop their effort and vigorously looking for the missing students using the surveillance and sending staff to do the groundwork.

Then, in the middle of such a situation, one of the students with ponytail hair, suddenly walked to the back a little, holding what seems to be her earing.

"Amy-nee! You finally picked up!"

At her words, few of those who were near her turned to her, including Hotaru and the curious Ruka and Narumi-sensei.

The girl nodded a few times, before taking off the earing and passed to Hotaru, which shortly after passed them to Narumi-sensei before taking out her toolbox.

Narumi, wearing the earing whilst a bit confused, 

"..Hello?"
