Back at the Academy, an uninvited 'group of party people' enters that causes many teachers and professors to hurry the students inside the school. However, it is nearly impossible because this group of party people introduce themselves circus entertainers. The people all wore masks that it makes the adults all suspicious. The younger students are engrossed with an advertisement of Reo Mori as a Music-Magician. It shows:
REO MORI, THE CELEBRITY STAR COMEBACK
AS A MUSI-MAGI-CIAN! COME ALL AND ENJOY THE SHOW.
There are trumpets and trombones playing louder and louder as the group of circus entertainers unleash their skills in performance. For the children, it is fun and surprising to watch. But the professors and teachers are horrified with this development. Among the professors and teachers is Narumi-sensei and Misaki-sensei. Narumi-sensei wants to quickly handle the situation by doing a lockdown protocol. But Misaki-sensei proposes to wait for the principals to decide.
"But it's taking forever!" Narumi-sensei cries as he is agitated.
"Just a few moments." Misaki-sensei replies. As the three principals from inside the buildings are done discussing, a loud voice startles the students and professors/teachers. A man with a familiar white mask over the eyes with jet black spiky hair and a few golden earrings in one ear projects his voice in a megaphone.
"Hello! And Welcome children from the Alice Academy. We are the Circus Company, here to perform a wonderful spectacle featuring Reo Mori, a musi-magician." The students give a big shout out.
"REO! REO! REO!" One of the students shouts:
"LOVE YOU REO MORI!" As Persona (aka: Rei Serio) keeps talking on the megaphone, the King of this "circus company" whispers into Reo Mori's ear.
"Reo Mori, you must perform your best. Let your alice go wild and monopolize your surroundings. Don't fear anything! You are the center and critical component to this masterplan. Do you roger that?" Reo Mori with a straight face and a robotic tone answers.
"Ro-ger that, you're Highness"
"That's my boy!" The King ruffles the musi-magician's head as Reo Mori systematically puts on his mask and goes on centre stage. It is right after Persona finishes his sentence: "... Now please enjoy this small teaser, Reo Mori on the piano!" The audience is wild and all cheers for the familiar nut brown hair, a black top hat with a white mask over the eyes. The smile that Reo makes that seems like a smirk or a flirt is gazed by the female students. They are all swoon over.
During that time, Ibaragi Nobara secretly contacts the HSP and reports the plan.
"HSP? HSP? I bare news for you."
"Speak!"
"It's the King. He has come as a circus company to retrieve Pon from solitude. They realized Harada Misaki was a fake." The HSP with all the other principals all hear Nobara and gasp.
"We should evacuate the students immediately. The students should be our priority."
"No! We should move the prisoner far away as possible. That way the circus company won't bother us."
"WHAT are you talking about? We should corporate with the circus company and give them back the prisoner, that way everyone would be safe." Yukihira Kazumi stays silent as he listens to all the suggestions being put on the table. When everyone gives their input, Kazumi speaks.
"All of your suggestions are worthwhile, but remember we are Alice Academy. That means there's something you all forgot to mention. It is also a rule in the agenda: 'In case of emergency situation, alices are allowed to protect the academy from all cost'. Therefore, we will not set the prisoner free, we will use our alices to defeat those invaders, and get back Harada Misaki, our Identity Thief."
