Summary: The academy's finally getting serious about dealing with Mikan's alices, and the Dangerous Ability Class is getting a new teacher in the bargain. What's going to happen next?

Chapter 1

"Good morning everyone," the pig-tailed girl with gold-brown hair greeted her classmates happily as she opened the classroom door.

"Good morning, Mikan," her classmates greeted back in unison.

"HOTARU!" Mikan ran toward her best friend to hug her.

BAKA BAKA BAKA

"Idiot," muttered the raven-haired inventor before going back to continue fixing her new invention.

Yeah, you know what happened. She got hit by the infamous baka gun that sends her flying.

"Hey, Mikan, are you alright?" asked a concerned Yuu before helping her up.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Mikan said rubbing her aching head before turning to greet the two boys who just entered the classroom.

"Hi, Ruka. Natsume."

"Morning, Mikan," acknowledged the blond.

But "Hn." was the only response of the sable-haired boy.

"Quit being rude…" Mikan started to say but was interrupted by an announcement.

Mikan Sakura, please proceed to the headmaster's office immediately.

"I wonder what this is about," Mikan thought, before going to Mr. Narumi who just entered the classroom.

"Go on to the headmaster's office, Mikan. I'm sure what ever it is, it's important," Mr. Narumi said with a smile trying to hide his worry.

Mikan headed to the headmaster, but stopped in front of the closed door. "I hope I'm not in trouble." She took a deep breath then knocked.

"Come in," a muffled voice said from inside.

"I'm Mikan Sakura. You wanted to see me, Sir."

"Yes. Please come in and take a sit Ms. Sakura. I have something very important to talk to you about," said the headmaster kindly

Mikan went ahead and sat on the chair in front of the headmaster's desk.

"As you know Ms. Sakura…"

"Please call me Mikan, Sir. I'm not used to being called Ms. Sakura," Mikan said with a smile.

The headmaster nodded. "Alright then, Mikan, as I was saying, it seems that you have at least two alices, or what we call a multi-alice user. Your nullifying alice is not a problem, but your other alice, the stealing alice, is another concern."

"Why is my other alice a problem, Sir?"

"Well, you see, your nullifying alice, for now, only temporarily prevents another person from using his or her alice. But the stealing alice you possess can take away a person's alice permanently, and due to your inexperience… "

"I might accidentally use it on someone and not know how to return his or her alice," Mikan sadly finished for him.

"Yes, you might unintentionally steal someone's alice, and that stolen alice could also hurt someone if you inadvertently use it and don't know how to control it. Therefore, I've decided that you, Mikan Sakura, need someone to train you in the use of you alices."

"Someone to train me!?" Mikan jump up from her chair.

The headmaster motioned for her to sit back down. "Yes, it's for everyone's good. Don't you think, Mikan?" Mikan slowly nod her head. "But, this training takes 5 years to complete..."

"FIVE YEARS!" Mikan shouted jumping up from her chair again.

"Quiet down, Mikan, that wasn't the worse part."

"IT WASN'T!?" The headmaster motioned for her to calm down and keep her voice down. "If that wasn't the worse part, then what is?" Mikan asked, her voice trembling.

The headmaster sighed. "It's a solitary training. You'll be working out with your trainer and others can't know about this training for now. It needs to be kept secret from everyone, including your friends."

"But how can my friends not know about this!? We're all in the same academy!" Mikan exclaimed.

"That's right. That's why, it looks like you'll have to tell them you'll be transferring to an Alice Academy abroad," the headmaster smiled.

"Transferring! But I don't want to transfer to another Alice Academy, all my friends are here, I like it here…" Mikan continued ranting and raving.

The headmaster just waited for her to calm down and thanked God that his office was soundproofed. When Mikan was done he continued to speak.

"Are you done now, Mikan?" Mikan looked like she wasn't so he hurried on explaining. "As I was about to say, that's just what you have to tell them, but you're not really transferring. It's just so that they won't worry about you, and also so that they won't find out that you will be undergoing training."

"You want me to lie to my friends?" Mikan asked dejectedly.

The headmaster heaved a sigh. "No, I don't, but it's either you undergo this training or we separate you from the other students to avoid accidents. And I know you don't want that."

"No…but…" Mikan hesitated.

"Yes?"

"If I'm not going to get transferred then where will my training take place?"

"You training will take place in a secluded place connected to this academy's grounds. You won't be told of its exact location until your instructor deems it's time for you to know."

"Won't other students find out about that place if it's in the academy?"

"No, the place is not a part of the academy's grounds. It used to be, but the academy had signed the deed over to someone else a long time ago. It's beyond the reach the middle school principal's boundary alice so there was no use retaining the land for the academy.

The land where you'll be training is beyond the gates of this academy so you need not worry about other students finding out. We've already obtained the owner's permission to use the land for your training. All that is needed now is your acceptance of this training."

Mikan sighed, "I don't really have a choice but to accept the training, do I?"

"Don't think about the time you'll be separated from you friends or the training you'll undergo. Think about who you could help and protect by mastering you're alices."

Who she could help and protect? She wanted to help and protect everyone. All of a sudden, an image of Natsume flashed through Mikan's mind. If there was one person she wanted to help with her alice the most, it's him. "Um… excuse me, Sir, but… will I be able to take missions when I finished my training?"

"Yes, if you want to." The headmaster was surprised that she knew about the missions but hid it. "And there's another thing I need to tell you, Mikan. You can't go back to this academy as Mikan Sakura right after your training, or others will suspect about what you did in your absence. So, you'll have create another identity and hide you true one should you decide to come back to study in this academy."

"Then my friends won't know that it's me when I return," Mikan whined.

"No, they won't. It's your choice whether you get separated from them forever, or be with them after five years but just as someone else temporarily. So, Mikan, will you accept this training?"

Mikan silently thought about the proposal for a while before she looked the headmaster in the eye and determinedly said, "Alright, I'll go through the training."

After Mikan left the headmaster's office a dark figure of a man stepped out of the shadows.

"That's the girl," the man stated.

"Yes, that's the girl I want you to train," the headmaster said, not looking at the person behind him.

"She seems determined."

"…"

The headmaster felt the man smirk. "I'm sure we'll get along just fine with the training," the man said before vanishing into the shadows.

CHAPTER END

A/N: Instead of making Mikan's hair dull brown like in the anime, I choose to adapt the gold-brown I saw on the manga cover.
