BP: Whew! I made a new story, and also updated once. Well, for you readers, I have a new update on Seishun Alice Gakuen, please review after reading, ok?

The Alice festival has finally begun. The fireworks exploded and the words "The opening ceremony" appeared on the bright blue morning sky A few white clouds glazed across, shapes distorted by the fireworks. The first day of the Alice festival has finally arrived. Since the Opening Ceremony is going to be held on the junior high school grounds, Ryoma can sleep in and still get there on time, being in the junior high section himself. He was walking with the gang, when an elementary student tripped, and fell in front of him. She started crying.

"What's wrong?" said Fuji kindly. The girl looked up, and saw 12 Middle School Division students staring at her, 10 boys and 2 girls. She was intimidated by the number and their size.

"It's an elementary student." said Oishi. He turned to the girl and said gently. "Did you fall?" The girl meekly nodded. Oishi used his Heal Alice to heal the scrap on her knee. The girl backed off slightly. "Don't worry, he's only going to heal your wound." Agiel smiled. The girl bit her lip, nodded, and let Oishi do his work. After the wound is healed, the girl got up, and thanked Oishi.

"Are you lost? Why don't we take you to the grounds?" Shizuku offered. The girl nodded, and they led her to the grounds, where the students were lined up according to their Ability Type. The girl headed to the Latent Ability line, and after a wave, disappeared. The 12 of them also waved goodbye, and lined up at their respective class, all except for Fuji, Shizuku, Ryoga, Ryoma and Tezuka, as they are required to the front of the stage.

"Everyone! It's time to open the curtain on the culture and Alice unification festival! I'm sorry to say that this year, we had a suspension of activities and have not been able to announce the event scheduled but…After all the energy put into preparing this day, I am glad to announce that for the first two days, we will have snacks and refreshment booths, the third day there will be a theater performance and on the last day, there will be a night-time celebration!" The cheers and whoops could be heard miles away. "Each of the four Alice classes has openly created unique exhibitions, which they will now generously bestow upon us!"

"Well then, representative of the entire student body, Shizuku Ameyuri, will come and greet us with a few words!" Shizuku walked up to the stage and took the mike from the teacher. "To be able to come together to celebrate a safe Alice festival is an honor for all of us. Every single student has a unique Alice that they can showcase to make the festival memorable and fruitful for the guests and themselves. I hope all of us will enjoy this year's Alice festival wholeheartedly, and participate with enthusiasm! Well, then, let's cut the ceremonial tape" There were cheers and applauses heard after she finished her short speech. Tezuka and Ryoma carried the scissors, and cut the tape together, and cheers were heard. "Well, at least my booth is later in the afternoon, so at least I can explore. Let's go, Tezuka, Fuji." Bothof them nodded, and went off with Ryoma. The four principal students walked past a restaurant, where it smelled of chicken frying, bacon sizzling and smoke sausages baking. Another had sweet-potato pies, egg-custard pies and rich butter pound cakes cooling.

Later….

"The girls looked rather slutty in their waitress outfit." Ryoma muttered, eating a butter pound cake. "But this tastes good!" The other two nodded, each eating their goodies. "Hey, is that the Special Ability Class?" said Ryoma, pointing to the building. "It seems their booth is popular; look at the crowd!" Sure enough, there was a long crowd. "I wonder what it is: Let's try it!" The other two nodded, and joined the crowd. About half an hour later, it was finally their turn. Ryoma paid 300 yen (3 Rabbits) for a ticket. "We only have three rules." said Ryoga, who is in a genie outfit. "Number 1: No violence. If you hurt your partner in any way, you will be immediately disqualified. Number two: Weapons. In the case that the challenger, you, is not allowed to use their Alice, you can use one of the items we prepared from inside this box. If the challenger is allowed to use their Alice, then you should use your weapon first, before using your Alice. Of course, only if your Alice doesn't hurt your partner. Number 3: Use your weapon and your wits against the obstacle your genie sets before you and overcome them in order to stay qualified." Ryoma nodded, and placed his hand in the box. He got a pocket flashlight, and went in the maze.

For the first thirty seconds, nothing came. Suddenly, a girl popped out. "Hi!" she said. "If you can figure out which one is the real me, you pass." Then she duplicated herself. "So, which one is the real me?" said the real and the doppelgangers. Ryoma took a deep breath, and turned on his torchlight. Doppelgangers do not have shadows, according to Eiji. He saw one with a shadow, touched her shoulder, and said, "Gotcha." He passed.

Next was a guy sitting, apparently unconscious. Something floated to his face. "I'm the soul of that nice guy there! If you can get my soul back within thirty seconds, you pass! Of course, you cannot touch me or the body." Ryoma watched as the soul transferred itself from jars, to teddy bears, to apples. "Come on!" said the apple. "Your time's running out!" Ryoma merely used his Eye Illusion Alice, and casted scary illusions. "It's scary. Get me away from this kid, hurry!"

"Oh no! The body is sending me an SOS! I'm going to be drawn to it!" Ryoma passed that stage as well. He walked on and saw a paper that said "Look up". Ryoma looked up and saw a blackboard with "1+2+3+4=" on the blackboard. "Write the answer on the chalkboard within thirty seconds. We are watching through the video camera. Ready, start!" Ryoma merely took out his needle gun, and shot the needles to write 10. "You never said to use chalk." He muttered. He could have used his eyes to levitate the chalk to write the answer, but that will be tiring.

Next is his brother. "Hey, you already made it here, Chibisuke!" he said. "That was fast. You are good!"

Spotlights shone. "My task is….touch me within thirty seconds and you can go." Ryoma realized his brother had a shadow lock on him. "I'm afraid you cannot move your feet." Ryoma swiped at him, and he backed off. 'I get it. He keeps me immobile by keeping his feet stepped on my shadow.' He thought, but was interrupted when he was forced to do a stupid move by his brother. He aimed the torch at the shadow, and clicked on the light. The shadow shrank and disappeared, and Ryoma gave his brother a light punch on the chin. Ryoma walked on, and gave him a look that said, "If I pass this, you're going to be my slave."

The last was Shizuku. She was sitting on the carpet. "Well, if you can get me off within thirty seconds, you pass. Of course, because of my Apathy Alice, you can't harm me at all with your Alice." Ryoma closed his eyes and thought, since she doesn't feel pain, so…he opened his eyes, and created illusions. Shizuku screamed, and jumped off the carpet. He won the game, and was the first winner. Tezuka and Fuji congratulated him. Tezuka failed at the shadow stage, while Fuji failed at the puns, where he was not supposed to laugh at the person's puns, but he has an Alice that makes you laugh at his puns.

"So, it's time to give a prize. Choose a lamp and the owner will become your slave for one week, granting you three wishes." said Shizuku. Ryoma looked at the array of lamps, and used his Eye Illusion Alice to see which Ryoga's lamp is. He saw the name in one of the lamps, and chose that one. He opened it, and sure enough, it's Ryoga's lamp.

Everyone "oohed" at the name printed on the paper of the lamp.

And this is how Ryoga's terrible week will begin, being the slave of his own brother. Let's hope Ryoma doesn't kill him by the time he grants all his three wishes.

BP: So, what do you think? Please review!
