Disclaimer: If you think I'm Tachibana Higuchi, or an owner of Gakuen Alice (Alice Academy), then you're totally wrong.
Author's Note: This fic might remind you of Triwizard Tournament from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but don't worry coz I'll make it different XD. Oh, and a little note, in this fic, Hotaru could explain her inventions to somebody else (I'm sick of her explaining to nobody).
Summary: A big international event was going to be held at Alice Academy. Could Mikan and the others join it? HxR starting from Chapter 2. MxN would be a little later. Special feature: creating your own character from your own country! But, read the chapter first, please!
Chapter 1: What's IAC?
Early morning, a few days after New Year party, Mikan Sakura awoke from her sleep in high spirits, eager of what had awaited her on an, once again, ordinary and sunny day in Alice Academy. Well, actually nobody living outside the high, red brick walls of Alice Academy would ever think ordinary days in there were ordinary.
Mikan, too, had experienced many incredible things since her first arrival to the school. First, she was almost kidnapped by two guys in front of the school gate, then she was saved by a man whom she thought was a homosexual, and a little later on she saw an explosion made by a boy wearing a mask of a black cat.
What happened next was beyond her wildest imagination. She was accepted to join the school, but before even an hour passed, she had experienced her skirt being ripped of by the 'black cat' and his friend. Before even a day passed, she had been bullied by a bossy girl, a kid who could lift her body to the air, and getting her mind read clearly by a yome kokoro (mind reader).
However, Mikan was resolute standing all the suffering and surprisingly, lived her new life in Alice Academy with laughter, happiness, and spirit. This influenced some other students, including the boss of class B braggarts' gang, the Black Cat a.k.a. Natsume Hyuuga. At first, this famous fire wielder was annoyed with Mikan's presence, but little by little he felt a special affection to the girl.
Though Mikan had brought a new atmosphere around her friends, but still, only a few students could welcome a new day in Alice Academy with pure happiness like her.
Mikan quickly put on her shoes and uniform and cheerfully jogged into her classroom.
And then without any warning…
"Hotaruuuuuuuuu! Good morniiii—"
Baka!
……And you know what happened.
"Stop giving me your good morning hugs………."
Hotaru Imai was Mikan's best 'meanie-money-mania genius inventor' friend and the one-and-only reason why Mikan came to the academy. She didn't look care to others in general but deep down, she cared much about the noisy girl………
"………….'Coz I'm sick of them."
……………………..Well, maybe.
"But…!"
"You again, Polka-dots?" said a boy who had just entered the classroom with his blond friend.
"Hi, Natsume!" greeted Mikan, "Good morning, Ruka-pyon!"
Ruka blushed when he saw Mikan greeted him and nodded.
Typical Ruka.
Ruka Nogi was Natsume's best friend in life and death, who always turned into a bundle of nerves when he went around Mikan. He was best known of his animal pheromone alice, though he hardly showed his ability to anyone. Unfortunately, he performed his alice in front of a person who didn't hesitate to use this chance for her own needs. And so, Ruka's severe days of being blackmailed was started on the very day.
Flash!
"What the…? Imai!" said Ruka, trying to snatch Hotaru's camera which had just taken a picture of his blushed face.
Hotaru quickly hid her camera and shot Ruka with her cannon.
"Good morning, childr—"
Oni-Blaaaaaaaast!
"Oh my God, Jinno-senseiii!"
Hotaru's aim missed and hit Jinno-sensei's face, who was standing in front of the door at the moment. Everybody thought Hotaru would be dead by a minute, but Jinno-sensei fell backwards and fainted.
"Invention number 666: Demon Cannon. Can make somebody sleep and have nightmares for between 5 hours to 5 days. Not for kids. Might be dreadful for people who are afraid of ghosts. Not for sale."
"……………………………." There was a silence when everyone watched Hotaru explaining.
"Oh no, Jinno-sensei is gonna die!" said Sumire all of a sudden.
"Was that what you were thinking before? 'Coz I don't think so, "said Yome Kokoro.
"You gotta do something about this, Imai!" said Sumire as if she didn't hear what Yome Kokoro said.
"What's all the racket? Whoa, whoa, what happened to you, Jinno-sensei?"
"Narumi-sensei!" said Mikan.
"Narumi-sensei, it was the Omen Cannon Imai invented, "said the boy who was flying near the ceiling.
"Demon Cannon, "corrected Yome Kokoro.
"Oh, yeah, "said the boy afterwards, "It was the Demon Cannon thingy Imai invented which driven Jinno-sensei into ghostly nightmares."
"Oh, my, Jinno-sensei won't ever like that, "Narumi laughed, "Well, I guess I should care of things here, hey you over there!" he called the boy with levitation alice, "Please take Jinno-sensei nicely to the faculty room, okay?"
After the boy had gone with Jinno-sensei floating beside him, Narumi-sensei stood in front of the class and clapped his hands.
"Jinno-sensei was just dropping in to replace me announcing an interesting news, "he said, "Maybe some of you have known, that next month we will participate in the International Alice Competition!"
Some children cheered of this and Mikan asked curiously, "International…Alice…Competition?"
Yuu, who was sitting next to her, noticed her question and said, "Mikan-chan, the International Alice Competition is a competition held every five years between the best alice wielders from Alice Academies all over the world!"
"Wow, I've never thought of such a cool competition!" said Mikan enthusiastically, "When? When? Can we see it?"
"The IAC is always held at the chosen Alice Academy, "said Yuu, "I always want to see one! Or even join one! But it's really hard to join an IAC; you need to be the best of the best."
"But Iinchou, "said Yome Kokoro, who was sitting next to him, "You're a triple star, wouldn't it be easy for you to join this year?"
"Kids, for more information, you can read on the Announcement Board near the class A corridor, "said Narumi, "Make sure you don't miss this big event! Now off to your ability class!"
-------------------------------------------------------..
"International Alice Academy?" said Tsubasa-sempai.
"Yeah, sempai, Narumi-sensei said that it will be the greatest event ever!" said Mikan.
"Really? But I've never heard about it before!"
Mikan's jaw dropped.
"You're such a lazy idiot, Tsubasa!"
Misaki-sempai came and whacked Tsubasa's head.
"Yowtch! What now, Misakiii?"
"You don't know because you're sleeping when Sensei was giving an explanation about it, idiot!"
"Oh, yeah…"
"…And so were you five years ago!"
"Misaki-sempai, have you ever watched IAC?" asked Mikan.
"No, I haven't, "said Misaki-sempai, "The previous two IACs were held at Alice Academies somewhere around Europe or America, so obviously none of us Middle-Schools have ever watched one."
"So…where will it be held this time?"
"I don't know, but maybe you can find out from the Announcement Board?" she said, "'Coz actually Nodacchi is time-traveling somewhere again so you can't ask him anything now…"
------------------------------------------------...
"Hotaru! I know I'll find you here!" said Mikan while approaching Hotaru, who was reading the Announcement Board with Yuu, Yome Kokoro, Anna, and Nonoko.
"Mikan-chan, look!" said Anna, pointing to the Announcement Board.
Mikan looked at it and read.
