Chapter 10:
The very thought of agreeing in such an offer would be somehow stupid for an ex-boyfriend of a very jolly and beautiful brunette specifically the nullifier. He knew that smirk plastered on her face, a sly smile replaced by such a sinister smirk from such an angelic face. For once, he agreed for such a hideous act of his ex-girlfriend since he knew that ever since their relationship had started, he knew that piercing glares coming from a certain someone, and that same certain someone is the one who holds the nullifier's heart. It really hurts to be loved because of a reason that is simply irrational – because she deserved someone better – but again, him, being a gentleman, never turns down a lady especially in such a great deal of having that someone to be burned in a very special way – jealousy. So practically speaking, they were in a playful relationship just to make a certain someone turn his head fully and burst out nasty words to break them apart, and so that is, as soon as the bell rang signifying that the short break was over, they entered the classroom having the newly surprised gazes of their friends and classmates, and yes, for sure, having his hands wrapped around her slender frame, and her giggling on his sweet talking whispered on her ear, the room would surely be smokin' later on, if their plan succeeds…
Of course, as always, his pissed off look would be something familiar for every one, and his manga covering his god-like face, signifies that he's something mysterious, and his limitless alice of fire, means that no one dared to confront him in any way. And that special star pinned on his collar means he's a genius and that crossed feet placed atop the desk just means he's the boss in and out of the classroom. Well, plus the friends surrounding him, the levitation guy and the illusionist, are his very faithful servants, well not minding the mind-reader hospitalized due to some evolution concerns of his alice, the ladies who are his friends' girlfriends whose tech abilities, especially of the chemist and the cook, though look jolly, but considered as prodigies on their fields, are also might be considered as good defense in such a cool guy. So here's the thing – the one and only nullifier – meaning that his alice of fire would not be penetrating – the second found human being having an extraordinary alice of stealing – that just means that his alice would be gone out in just nick of a time, just came by walking, hand in hand with her 'boyfriend', is someone who solely have his eyes fixed, and certainly have his orderly world into a drastic path to mayhem.
Surely, her long strides leads her to her seat which was just in front of the seat of that cool guy having his feet atop the desk who certainly called himself her secret admirer-no-more, were once again followed by those familiar gazes since she positioned herself seating on the lap of her 'boyfriend' just to have the guy's attention all by herself. She leans closer to her blonde partner's chest just to make the whole scene looks romantic, and again, have the undivided attention of that fire wielder. She was enveloped by her 'boyfriend' in such an embrace that makes the nullifier's admirers except for one to have their ever-so-perforating-deadly-glares stick on her embracer, but once again, bearing on their minds that this certain blonde was technically and literally the cool guy's loyal best friend so they turn their head away since the flame caster started to move and have his eyes fixed on the couple and them too.
"Honey…" she whispered ever so romantically since now, her longing for such attention from this cool guy was now hers…
"Yes?" he asked, sine he knew that his best friend was now have his way beside them, sitting on the desk of whom his back was leaning too.
"Ruka." He called, 'startling' his blonde best friend, only be replied by such a 'shocked' expression
"Yes Natsume, sorry kinda busy here…" he said while giggling as he hugs her tighter for a more jealous reaction that might be coming from the raven-haired alice of fire
"Have you seen Yuki? She's kinda out of sight ever since yesterday night, I've been looking all over for her, and I have to tell her something really really important." He said, making the nullifier jealous and stand up trying to sue the animal pheromone guy to get out of her seat and let her sit instead,
"Yuki?" he asks again, surprise that he already have a nickname for the elemental girl, and of course not surprised on the sudden reaction of his ex-girlfriend.
"Yuki-san, the elemental girl, the one who I love to be with? You know her Ruka!" now he's pissed, knowing that his favorite companion as of now was just forgotten by somebody whom he calls best friend, who practically knows everything about him
"Miyuki-san? Haven't seen her yet, maybe she's sick." He replied trying to evade those piercing glares from his bloody red eyes. He breathed heavily, trying his best to calm down and to have their little scene with his ex-girlfriend go on to make their plan work, so he slid his hands onto the nullifiers' shoulders and kiss her forehead while caressing her cheeks, and yes, hoping that the plan will work now or later.
"So KAWAII!!!" as expected, Anna and Nonoko squealed seeing such display of romance in front of the whole class, making the brunette satisfied knowing that she just receive the attention that she needed plus the attention of the whole class staring at them even more. She giggles ever-so-girly as she hugs Ruka tighter than her hug before, now, the room was indeed cookin' in those hot stares, but unfortunately, not from the expected cool guy's alice.
He grunted, he's not into the jealous mode after all. He's mad at that girl hugging his best friend, since seeing her can make him weaker than anyone else, and such weakness is something he didn't even dreamed to experience. Sliding down his hands onto his pocket, he ignored the whole scene, having his feet walk onto his way out of the classroom door. Finally, he already has a reason of ditching class, again, not because of jealousy, but because of being angry onto his self falling into such a pit with an unknown end. Maybe being apathetic is not so bad at all.
She was aghast from such reaction that at this moment she felt like pounding him onto the floor with all the fifty alices that she got. Maybe, that's the best way of torturing someone like him will not be so bad, since from now on, she could be declared as the most precious alice in the whole world. A thought suddenly entered her now I.Q. 150 brain, a thought that somehow disturbs her – Miyuki Sarutobi is missing. Somehow, her attachment with the elemental girl is something she considered priceless, an attachment that is so different from her tech-genius best friend. She feel like she has responsibility for her, that she must protect her at all cost, as if something bad will happen to her. So the thought of pouncing onto the great Hyuuga Natsume was now long gone, that today, she caught herself drifting into such a trance that she never thought she'll ever have.
As soon as he reaches the door knob, the unexpected of all things happened. Narumi, the ever-so-gorgeous-sensei-of-them-all has his rowdy entrance into the room, looking wasted as ever, droplets of sweat can be seen crawling down in his decolorized skin, maybe because of something unexpected happened. The whole class continued their ever-so-vigorous-chatting, not really minding the sudden appearance of their sensei. The nullifier and her gang, together with the cool guy's attention were stuck onto such display. This time the blonde homeroom teacher has his way of getting their attention – his alice – the human pheromone.
In a wink of an eye – literally – the whole class silence themselves and has their proper seats then facing the teacher. Clearly, it looks like he have some important announcement that they must not miss. He cleared his throat and eyed the nullifier who actually raised her hands.
"Narumi-sensei…. Is there something wrong?" she can feel it, every beat of her heart, pounding onto her chest, as if feeling that there's really something wrong going on..
"Class, please evacuate the building calmly." He said as questioning looks of the students answered him
"Narumi, what's going on?" the alice extraordinaire who have his back leaning flatly onto the cold walls of the classroom asks the bothered teacher.
"AAO is…" then the whole class was emptied in a blink of an eye leaving the seven students inside , that the completion of such sentence is not needed. The drill for such an occasion is something that the academy practiced for a long time ago, knowing that the attempts of a dreaded organization is something that can't be stop especially now that another of the rare alice type – the stealing alice- is actually studying on the very school.
The room was filled with a tensed silence but relieving the teacher at once seeing how the students' response finally answered his call. The six students have shivers down their spines as they reminisces the unlikely scene of the attempted invasion of the organization plus the killing intent of the darkening aura of the fire wielder who's gritting his teeth and clenching his fist forming a ball of blue flames that rather left untouched.
"Natsume…" Mikan whispered the name of the fire wielder who only has those piercing glares penetrating on her but somehow, she managed to soften his glares
"Miyuki, she must be in their hands…" he whispered warily, as he have his way out of the room but only be stopped by another person just behind the door who have his feet stepped onto his shadows intentionally.
"Tsubasa-sempai!!!!" the nullifier squealed while having her way cleared just to hug her precious senior right on the spot.
"Mikan, you must go now, they're after you!" Tsubasa said as he freed the shadow of the fire wielder just to welcome his favorite kouhai in a sisterly hug
"You mean Yuka is here?" Narumi asks in a rather hesitated tone, hoping that everything he has in mind are all wrong
"Hai, YUKA AZUMI is here! So time must not be wasted! We must all go now!!!" Tsubasa said as they hurried out of the classroom then in a matter of minutes they have their way out of the building.
The scene is devastating….
