"Hey, why are you guys fighting now?" a disbelieve voice called out to them from behind. Tsubasa and Tono immediately stop, seemingly stunned at the current student who was standing behind them.

"Ah! It's Amy-san! Woah~ you look beautiful!" Mikan cheered excitedly, as she walked towards Amy. At this, Amy disbelief face change into a smile and reply,

"You too Mikan. You look really pretty right now. And just to check, your hair has gotten longer right, just like mine?"

"Yep, after growing out, it seems that my hair grow too."

"I see... so it does affect everything. Need to jot it down later... And where's the other two?" Amy asked as she rummages through her bag, just to recheck whether all her things are with her. Mikan looked around and saw both of them. Heading towards them from the opposite direction.

"Amy-san! There they're! You guys are late! And... woah~ You both look so much older, like an adult" Mikan exclaimed, seemingly shocked at the other two transformations. Amy just glanced at them temporarily and shrugged.

"Anyway, Tono-senpai, let's head in now?"

At Amy's suggestion, Tono seemingly snapped to reality and reply,

"Ah, yes. Let's go"

And so, they head into Highschool compound to their first target: The Newspaper Clubroom.

'I know it was hard but, I NEVER thought it was THIS hard!' Amy leaned herself against the wall on the second floor of the third year building. All of them gather around, huffing, breathing really hard after running away from the barrage of attacks.

She looked around, there are some senior high students walking around. At this, she stands up, on alert. She just remembers something really important,

"Hey, where's Mikan and Ruka?"

At this, they limmediately looked around and saw them headed towards one corner. Tono, alarmed, call out to them so that they stop- while Amy immediately run towards them.

Less talk, more action.

She immediately pulled Ruka and Mikan away from the place.

"Wh-whaat? Amy-san?"

"Be careful. You're going to alert the school if you guys accidentally walk into there"

"?!!" both Mikan and Ruka shocked- for the unexpected outcome if they were to actually fall into it. Meanwhile, Tono just sigh in relief.

"Thank goodness you're quick Amy. Though... how did you know?"

"No time to explain. It seems that there are some third-year head toward us. I will carry Mikan, and you will carry Ruka. They both accidentally swallowed the candy."

"Sorry..." Mikan apologize. She actually felt bad for causing more trouble. Amy just smile and carried her.

"Don't be. Even I would accidentally swallow it if I were pulled aside suddenly. Oh, and..." she immediately turns towards Natsume who was still standing behind them.

"Natsume. Don't you dare swallow yours."

Natsume just shrugged and swallowed his gulliver candy. He then pulled his smugged face as he slowly shrunken- alerting the incoming 3rd years.

Amy just facepalmed at the whole situation. Just why on earth there are so many fans back then fall for this childish guy?

"Fine, pick up your pace."

"Alright everyone, quickly follow me" Tono said as he carried ruka- heading towards that one room.

Hopefully, they can make it there safely.

Few minutes before the arrival of Amy and her group...

Hayami- the president of highschool newspaper club- also known as the 'news freak' by his peer, since earlier has been intently listen to wave of rumours that flooding into the high school compound.

"hmm, right... right" he murmured to himself as he quickly take note of everything. Once it dies down, he just recounted the news spreading throughout the academy.

Students that loss their alice.

Breaking in by the Z people.

A student get hurt...

...and a group heading into the high school compound.

Hayami tried to use one of his Alice- the eyesight Alice, also known as clairvoyance to find the intruders. Unfortunately, he failed - even with the help of his glassesto enhance his vision.

He then decide it is safe to assume that a barrier Alice user are among them- kind of reminds him of a certain someone from elementary school.

"She was... his sister, right?" hayami then scrambled through mountains of papers, finding the info of the newspaper club newest recruit from elementary section.

"Ahah!" he exclaimed when he finally found it- somewhat already crouching under his table when the door to the clubroom were suddenly opened.

"Ah... is Hayami..in??"

--

"Ah... is hayami... in??" he huffed, breathing heavily as they sprint again away from their pursuers. Tono looked inside, only to see Hayami's head suddenly popped out from under his work desk.

"So... it really is you, Tono. The culprit of 'the case of bringing a young girl into a highschool section' it really was you then! ...though i don't really want to conceal a fugitive right now"

"" he replied- a bit annoyed as he was called a fugitive. The group then slowly walked inside with Amy the last one, checking no onlookers as she close the door behind her.

When Hayami saw her, he immediately nod.

"I see, no wonder I can't find you guys earlier. It was you- you're the sister of our youngest recruit right... Tsuyuri-san?"

"Yup. nice to meet you, Hayami-senpai. And just call me Amy. Thank you for taking care of my brother."

"Oh you've guys know each other?" Tsubasa asked, puzzled with another mystery added on this particular person- Amy Tsuyuri.

Amy just shrugged and reply "We just know each other through words of mouth. Anyway, Tono-senpai..."

"Ah yes. Everyone- this person here is the head of the news department, Hayami."

"Hello everyone from the elementary school"

They all murmured hi and hello, replying to his greeting. Mikan was still in a dazed, with Hayami noted her as a girl with wild behaviour. Amy just pulled out some water bottle and passed to Mikan and others to relieve their fatigue and thirst.

Tono then explains that Hayami should have already know the matter in the moment- the invasion and so forth. Hayami- of course already know their presence and the problem occured in the elementary compound.

Tono then promptly asked about warphole - hoping to clarify its existence... in which Hayami took some time before he explain. He said as he looks over to everyone present in the room,

"The warphole... it does exist."
