Barrier Alice | ✔

[42]

"It's been a long time, Naru-senpai. Sorry for detaining your cute students. Though, there will never be a day on which I will return them" says Reo as he smiles mischievously.

Narumi's stern voice went through the panda transmitter as he asks "Reo, why are you part of Anti-establishment organization Z...?"

"Heh, surprised? But I am more surprised that someone like you settles for becoming a dog of the school. If anything, I thought you will be the one switching sides and go against the academy"

As Reo conversing with Narumi, Mikan and the others become wary. Wary of the conversation, and curious about who is Z. Well except for Amy. She keeps a close eye to the silver-haired man in front of her. Then, she heard something was thrown away, calling her attention back to Reo.

"A-ny-way~ Shidou, lower down the barrier. Let's teach them a lesson so that they will not go against us again" says Reo as he walked toward us. The moment Shidou took down the barrier, Amy immediately cast her Shield in front of them, preventing Reo and any others from approaching.

Reo was amused.

"Ohho, never thought there was someone who was strong enough to immediately cast her Alice at a moment notice. She's that brat you mention before, right, Silver"

Silver...? Typical. Must be codename based on his hair color. Amy just deadpanned at the name. Silver, just smile and say,

"Hey, let me handle her. You remember my Alice kid". He quickly pulls out a strong black whip and crashes towards her shield. Once, twice. Then it cracks.

When it cracks, Amy immediately cast another layer of shield. While slowly step back every time she was hit by the force. Causing Mikan, Sumire, and Natsume to move closer to her.

"A-amy-san!" Mikan was half crying, seeing such a brutal thing happen. Sumire shivers non-stop and Natsume makes stink eye. He was about to cast his Fire when he remembers Amy stern warning not to use it.

Though, honestly, he will still cast it. He lifts his hand up to direct the fire to Silver when his hand was grabbed and forcefully pull. It was Reo and some other suit guy.

Amy and the others were shocked. They have teleport behind them without them noticing. Amy was about to divert her attention to push Reo away when Silver shout,

"Hey, Hey, Hey. Are you sure you wanted to divert your attention right now?"

Amy just tched. "Crazy bastard" she cursed.

"Hahaha! But you are really strong, just like your guardian. I will have fun fighting you as I did back then when I kill them"

Amy frown. She really hates this guy. Guardian- he must be referring to her parents.

"Hey, did you know. They fought just like you now. Relentlessly. How stupid of them." Silver continues his taunting. 

She was angry. How dare a murderer like him to speak of her parents. How dare he, laughing it off as if it was a simple matter. 

"Hah! If only they tell where is your location, they won't have to die just like that. What a waste"

She wanted to shout. she wanted him to shut up.

She wanted to punch that man to oblivion. 

Those killers. I won't let you touch any of my family again!

Amy's mind was filled with so many thoughts- She wanted to ignore everything, to destroy everything...

...until she heard a shout. A shout that shook her off from her murderous thoughts.

"Stop! Since earlier you've been saying such selfish thing. Why would he go with you?" It was Mikan's voice. Her desperate attempt to prevent Reo from brainwashing Natsume. Hearing her scream just now bring Amy back to reality.

She remembers her priority.

Her priority- to make safely out of here. 

To survive.

Not revenge.

Reo who seems amused with his discovery of Mikan's nullification Alice was about to look at her closely when Amy split her shield into two -separating them from Silver at the front and Reo at the back.

"What!" Reo was surprised when a shield suddenly formed between him and them. Then, the shield abruptly moved, pushing him and the Teleporter men back to the wall.

"Sumire! Mikan! Natsume! Quickly, come closer and hold my hand" they immediately scoot over close enough and quickly hold her. Affirm, she quickly channels her Alice to the stone in her palm.

Activating teleportation.

Then, all 4 of them disappear, leaving the rest of the Z member behind.

-GA-  

In a store, 5 warehouses away from the one that filled with Z's member- a group of 4 children appeared and stumbled down. It was Mikan, Natsume, Sumire, and Amy. They cough a bit for the store was dusty.

"Where are we?" Sumire wondered. Amy help her up as she replies,

"We are 5 warehouses away from our original location. I planned to bring all of us to the academy with this stone- but it's too much, to bring all 4 of us that far. This is the farthest we could get for now"

She can feel herself breathing heavily. She looks at Mikan who was helping Natsume to sit down. She knows that they don't have much time, so they need to act fast. Then she looks at Sumire and says,

"Sumire, that necklace as you know is nullification stone. Used it consistently, it should help you to nullify any attack. Both of us are going to search for help. Meanwhile, Mikan, you will stay here with Natsume. Hide here. Protect each other"

"But Amy! It is dangerous! And Sumire..." Mikan says while looking at Sumire.

Sumire was undoubtedly scared. Amy bites her lower lip, she really dislikes the idea of dispatching a child to do this with her. But she needs her to reach out to local people. Like the policemen. She has no idea if the teachers are going to appear soon. But... she doesn't want to force her. She cautiously asks,

"Sumire... are you ok with this? I've chosen you... because with your Alice, you.. you cant detect people, and avoid those from Z. And your constitution is much stronger due to your Alice. If you're not, that's fine. You can stay here and keep alert too"

Amy's look directly to Sumire's eyes. She wanted to know, will Sumire truly up to this. At this, Sumire clench, then unclench her hand. She looks determined.

"It's Ok. I can do this. Please let me do it. I remember, we have responsibilities as an Alice after all, right Mikan?"

Mikan remembered Sumire's words from before and slowly nodded. She is also confident.

"Alright. Then I will do my part too, Amy-san. You can trust me."

Amy smile. They grew up- and she's really proud. She nodded and say,

"Yes, I trust you. And I trust all 3 of you. And Natsume, no argument for you. Stay here with Mikan, got it. We don't have much time, so let's go."

Then, she immediately walks upstairs followed by Sumire. With the last nod, Sumire head to the East, and she heads to the West.

P/s: Silver... That's, the only name I could think of, hahaha. Well anyway, I welcomed any suggestion for the silver hair and the red hair if you guys have any. Well then, see you tomorrow.
