Chapter 3: What the School Is All About
As Mikan ran out of the sliding wooden door, a miniature look a-like doll appeared. She had short black hair with bangs above her eyes. She had violet crystal eyes with eyelashes perfectly curled and had a small miniature face. She had no blemishes and she could be classified as a doll. She wore a black jacket and a white collar with a red ribbon in the middle with a plaid red skirt above her knees and wore knee high black boots. In one hand she held a book called, "How to Fix a Machine," and around her neck was a necklace with a purple stone. She stared at Mikan with a blank expression and said with a small mature voice,
"You're Mikan Sakura?"
Mikan blushed as she can't believe such a beautiful delicate person is talking to her.
"Ah-ah yes."
"Follow me then."
She walked off, leaving Mikan behind.
Mikan walked faster until she caught up with her.
In her excitement voice she said,
"So what's your name? Are you in my class? Do you have an awesome Alice? Where did you live before? Do you have a cat because I do? Are you smart because I'm not? Can I be your friend?"
The girl halted and stared at Mikan with an irritated look.
"My name is Hotaru. That is all you have to know."
"But can I be your friend at least?"
Hotaru stared at her for a long time and started laughing,
"Hahaha, friends? Since, Mr. Narumi begged for me to help you get around the school, I will help you get to the basics but I'm not intending to be friends. Just listen up, and follow me as we walk to our class."
Mikan nodded and followed Hotaru, like a baby chicken.
Hotaru explained with a soft small voice,
"Secret Gakuen Alice is a school where the unlucky ones are sent too."
Mikan then abruptly interrupted her and said,
"Ah I got a question Hotaru. Why are we the unlucky ones?"
Hotaru sighed and said with a solemn voice,
"You think people here wanted to have an Alice? We will never live life like the outside world. In that case for you, you won't see your mother ever again."
"But that's not true!" Mikan exclaimed.
"They said if you win challenges and competitions you can visit your family outside."
"Hahaha," laughed Hotaru.
"However, you have to WIN WITH YOUR TEAM-MATES."
"Team-mates? What do you mean by that Hotaru?"
Hotaru sighed.
"That is why you must stop talking and let me continue. Keep walking."
They continued to walk outside the Alice Hospital to their dormitory which was further north.
Hotaru continues,
"So this school is only for us with an Alice. However, this school is secretive that no one knows except us and your family. This school is different among the other Alice schools. However, you'll find the reason why by your own time. Anyway, your family must sign a contract but if they disobey, they will be forced to lose their memories and they won't even remember they borne a child."
"But-"Mikan again interrupted.
"No buts. Don't worry; your mother did sign the contract."
"Wait how do you know?"
"You really are one noisy girl aren't you? So, once you're here, you can't escape. There are two domains in this school. The juniors and the seniors. The juniors are people within our age and younger. The seniors are of course older. Each domain has three different classes, where we train our Alices. The three different classes are classified as Dangerous, Common and Special. The Common types are all the people with Alices that you would watch every day in movies. Flying, smashing with just a fist, loud singing voices that can break objects, and technology experts fits in there and then there is the Special class. The Special class is for unique people with Alices that no one has in this school or are either rare. Such as teleportation in the past, producing rain, making food into objects and so on. However, people in the dangerous Alice are the most important among all the others. They are always carefully watched and they attain masks on their faces."
"So that guy with the bear mask is there…" Mikan whispered to herself.
"What did you say?" Hotaru asked.
"Oh which one are you Hotaru?"
"I'm in the Common."
"That's so cool! So what's your Alice?" Asked Mikan happily.
Hotaru glared at Mikan,
"Moving on…"
"So they are people who you cannot interfere with. The Dangerous class looks down on all people in Special and Common classes. They are very few of them compared to the other classes but it's not a good idea to meddle with their affairs. The Dangerous types have Alices that could kill anyone and destroy this school if they wanted too. However, they will never do it."
"Why?" Mikan asked curiously.
"They will be killed immediately."
"What?!" Mikan exclaimed surprisingly.
"They're so young!"
"Whether young or old this school will kill anyone whoever finds out about this school. This school only cares about their reputation."
Mikan froze in fear.
Hotaru banged her book on Mikan's head.
"Keep walking, I'm not finish yet."
They continue to walk.
"However, they are good allies when it comes to the games. And that is up to you to make friends. These games aren't normal like the outside world, like your old school. These games are built in many stages and levels. You think you'll be jumping on sand and climbing up monkey bars, think wrong."
"YES! I'm so good at that!" said Mikan with excitement.
"Well don't be too excited because you will be jumping on crocodiles and climbing up hill tops, with mad people chasing after you."
Mikan face turned bleaked.
"Please tell me the crocodiles are fake?"
"No they're real. Well keep walking."
"So therefore people make their own groups that must be a max of four people."
"With their friends?"
"Yes but most groups aren't. Once these games start, there are no such things as friends. Now and then, we do have events like Christmas but when it comes to these games, the only friends you have is your allies for the games. So therefore, you must choose wisely. Of course, it's smart to choose your team-mates according to their abilities. It's useless to have the same Alices, so it's better if everyone's Alices are different. The good thing about these games is that you get to group with people either in Special, Common and Dangerous which makes a higher chance of your team winning. The bad side is that you will have to try beat the Best Five.
"Who are the Best Five Hotaru?" Asked Mikan curiously.
"The best fives are five different teams of people who are powerful amongst the other groups. There's the group called the "Techies." They will use any kind of device or invention that they created to win the games. Second is the "Manipulation group." Any groups who encounter them will mostly lose, unless you're smart enough to escape their illusions. The third is the "Magnet Girls," their group name really suits them as they attract any enemies who encounter them. However, don't get fooled, in spite their good looks they have Alices that will lure you to them and obey whatever they say to you. The fourth is the scariest team called the "Scary Four." They are mainly guys and you do not want your team to be on their bad side."
"Why?"
"They can kill you instantly."
Mikan gulped with a gloomy face.
"Don't worry, if you get good team mates, there's nothing to worry about right?"
Mikan looked at Hotaru that gave her devious smile. Mikan still admired Hotaru, since she still looked composed even if she gave her a freakishly weird smile.
Hotaru sighed.
"Stop drooling."
Mikan unfroze in amazement and shook her head.
"Sorry."
"Well keep walking were nearly there."
"Oh Hotaru whose the fifth?"
"The fifth? Yes, they're the strongest of all the team but never win the final stage. They are called the "Fearsome Three."
"If they're the strongest why don't they win?"
"Those people are mysterious. No one ever knows why they even try at the first rounds then at the end, they'll lose. But I know they are doing it on purpose. Anyway isn't it unfortunate for you to meet two of the members?"
Hotaru grinned.
"What-what do you mean Hotaru?"
"You'll find out soon. "
Hotaru then halted.
"Oh yes I forgot. Write your name in this piece of paper."
Hotaru handed her a metallic pen from her skirt pocket.
Mikan wrote her name in big letters that is classified to be a messy writing for her age.
"What's this for?"
"It's for the draw."
"The draw?"
"The draw is for people like you who are new-comers and haven't formed a group yet or for a group who are missing members."
Hotaru smiled,
"Well good luck, hope you have a good team. You'll need it. Once you lose a level with your team, you are not allowed to enter the further levels, unless there's the wild card where you guys are given a second chance which rarely happens. And since you're versing like fifty groups within the juniors, you definitely wish to be in the best group. "
Mikan turned dumbfounded.
"Fifty?!"
"Oh last thing, since you look dumb, I'll give you an advice. Make friends in each three different classes. You'll need them. After all you want to see your mother right?"
"Um Hotaru can I ask you one last question?"
"…"
"What is these games really all about? I know there's prizes and stuff but is there really a more deep reason for these games?"
Hotaru, stared at her for a few seconds then said with a serious voice,
"You're not so dumb after all. These games is for the authorities to see what you're capable of and to use your team for secret missions."
Mikan scratched her head, as she was confuse.
Then Hotaru stopped. In front of them was a huge wooden corridor. It wasn't special and on the top of the door it said,
"Class 1-C"
Hotaru opened the corridor. Mikan's eyes widen and dropped her jaw in surprise. She saw people flying, people holding chemical tubes on their hands, people painting pictures, robots serving some people with a glass of cocoa and people with weird helmets on their heads.
Mikan gulped.
"This is one crazy and confusing school Mr. Mao."
To Narumi
Narumi entered a small wooden shack with different shells and stones hanging about the hut. There were shells and bright stones in rainbow colours. Narumi knocked on the door. An angelic and mysterious voice boomed inside the hut.
"Come in Narumi."
Narumi entered and a beautiful woman appeared, with long green-like wavy hair that fell down her back, who was sitting on a wooden chair behind a long wooden table with varieties of color stones hanging on the ceiling of the roof. She had fair white skin with emerald eyes and curly eyelashes. She wore a Japanese traditional clothes; mainly the kimono with hairpins on her hair. She held a fan in her hand that hid her lower jaw that was her sign of politeness in manners. In front of her was a glass globe that fortune tellers use.
"So you are here for that girl?"
"Yes. The girl's name is Mikan Sakura, " Narumi replied.
"What is her stone Miss Himemiya?"
"Hahaha," Himemiya chuckled.
"That child does not have a stone."
"But that can't be. Her mother told m-"
"I'm not finish yet Mr. Narumi."
"She is the one that were waiting for. Its fate that she was brought here to us. She indeed has a similar Alice like you but her ones is more powerful."
"What do you mean?!"
With a solemn slow voice,
"Haha, calm down Narumi. In this cruel world, people always say love, hope, peace and faith is the most important that everyone needs to learn. However, since everyone is foolish they don't realize that patience is the most important among us humans. And that is therefore what you have to do with her. She has an ability to…"
