《Barrier Alice | ✔》[65]

"We've arrived!" Amy excitedly declare as they arrived at a clearing in the middle of forest. Confused, Narumi asked,
"Arrived?"
As if just remembered, she took out a key card and wave once, shattering the illusion that shrouding the whole building. The sudden appearance of the building that certainly look advance, secure and well guarded caught the 3 adults in surprise. Shiki especially, as a Barrier Alice user himself, his inability to navigate through the labyrinth effect of forest does cause him unease. If it weren't for the girl leading them there, there's no doubt that they will circle here till days end.
"Now, now. This is too early for you guys to get all surprise. What we will discuss in a bit will be, lets just say, even mind blowing. But anyway, where my manners, to our dear guest, please welcome yourself in. Head straight in, the second room from your right is our dining hall. We can discuss there. I will bring down several things first. Then I will start explaining all things."
With that, they all step in and the building once again disappear from sight, away, from any prying eyes.
"There, just too much info to process right now" Narumi promptly declared. And no one can blame him for that. Few months, there's a facility in this forest, yet it was never reported and none of them was caught. That Amy and few unnamed people has been going in and out building this place for safe haven, and that they also have been scouting around for info.
"Do you know how dangerous! These all things are?!" Narumi say. Anger was understatement. Sadness, and fear, of the what if could happen to them. What if all of this went wrong? Both Yuka and Shiki remain quiet. They were too shocked. A whole base, with their own network information was build right under their nose. They amazed though all the same worried. Things could go south at any moment.
And Yuka can't help but feel hurt, hurt that another student, who's the same age as her daughter going through such a dangerous plan just so that she could build this safe haven.
In the end, did she make the wrong choice to runaway and live a life trying to destroy the school from outside?
Narumi continued "You could have tell me. Or not do this at all. We're your teachers, you should not have plunge yourself into this risk! What if ESP founds out, not only taking over these building for his gain, but exploit all of your ability due to advance training and control that you have develop? Why?"

Amy, maybe because she was tired, maybe because in the end, no matter how mature she is mentally, her young physical form still have impacted her thought process. For now, she unable to hold back herself as she shout back,
"Because, BECAUSE! BECAUSE I WANT TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE!"
Her shouting shut him up. She continue.
"I know it dangerous. I'm not a fool. I have seen a lot during the time I look around, spying for info and so forth. I know, but i can't help it. I'm tired, day by day seeing my friend return even worse than before, being exploited as part of dangerous class students. I'm scared, because if they know my siblings Alice, no doubt they are going to abuse. I'm scared, then we have enemy, both in and out of this school. I just..."
She took a deep breath as she continued.
"I'm tired of this whole thing and when I get your information, Azumi Yuka and Shiki, who actively destroying ESP plan from outside. I believe its time. And because I also believe that, if I want to make sure a better time and future for my young siblings and my friends, I need to start it. The whole operation."
And then she wiped her tears. She forced a smile.
"And, I was never alone. And that's why we're all here, because I need help. We need every help. Can you please help us?"
For a moment, silence filled the gap. Narumi then finally calmed down and say.
"Amy, I... i'm sorry. It's just, I shouldn't have been to angry"
"It's fine, it's a given honestly. And. That just proves you really do care about us" she smiles. Yuka and Shiki then, decided that it's time, say,
"Alright. We got the whole idea now. How does both of us will fit into the plan?"
Amy happy with the change of subject, and their agreement, grinned. She lay out the blueprint of the whole building as she started to point out.
"Well, to destroy ESP influences, we need to shake him both inside and out. I already planned out how to do it from the inside, and with Narumi-sensei in the plan, it will make things easier. what Yuka-san and Shiki-san roles is to continue shake ESP hold from the outside. If i'm right, there's supposed to be another 3 clone left, right?"

"Yes, thats right. We will need to approach the other 3 and kill them, with that it should minimize ESP control over politics and underground connection to almost zero."
"Great. So in order to help with that, here's some tools. These are the portal key, there's only 2 of them, which will direct you, as long as you're in Japan, to directly teleport to portal in the basement below. There's also Medbay here, meaning in case of injuries and danger, you can just come here and recover. There's also this upgraded version of earrings. You should keep them so that we can communicate. And the room upstairs - is for you both. Seriously, you both need to stop being a nomad. This will be a safe place for you to stop and discuss for operation"
Both Yuka and Shiki jaw slacken, unexpected offer for safety was something they never had in mind. Yuka, who was tensed earlier now visibly relaxed. Truly, after the death of her friend, she has been on the run time and time again. To have a place now... her heart trembled.
Amy, ignoring the multitude of feelings they both experienced continue,
"Basically there are 3 phase in this operation. We will call this pincher operation. You will continuously suppress ESP force from the outside, meanwhile us will try from the inside. We wont do anything drastic yet, but we will shake his influence by making the students united. That will be something I will talk later. Also, in this phase, undoubtedly dangerous ability class will be send to stop or interfere. My request is only one- please don't hurt them"
She say, looking them in the eyes. Yuka nodded.
"I swear on my name that I, Azumi Yuka won't hurt them. The same with Shiki"
Amy smile in relief. At least, Tsubasa and the others who will be selected later in time won't be in danger. She then continue.
"Then, there will be the second phase. This will happen when Mikan other Alice comes to light. The Stealing Alice."
Yuka immediately stands up. Her face pale.
"Wh-what, n-no, my daughter..." then she broke down. The curse Alice, in the end, still pass to her daughter. Shiki try to comfort her as Narumi question,
"How did you know, that she will develop another Alice?" Narumi question as even the HSP can't identify the ones that are not manifested yet. Amy just give sad smile.
"I have my ways. But if I have to answer, then one of them will be my premonition dream."
"Again? Just how clear is it?"
Amy decide to stay quiet. She can't answer. Because who will believe it was from a memory of her previous life. She then look back at Yuka and say,
"I have said, yesterday right? The Alice depends on the user, can be medicine, can be poison. Mikan... is a strong person. Stronger than anyone I know. She is a child yes, but her kindness makes her strong. She is selfless, and she will protect everyone she loves... Yuka-san, Mikan has not develop that Alice yet but one day she will. And when she does, it was to safe her life and to safe the life of others. Yuka-san, listen to me carefully, this is why I say we will start phase 2 when Mikan develop her second Alice. Because that means, no one can feel safe even in their own room. I swear on my name, I will make sure Mikan will be brought here to be protected. And you can talk to her then."
"Why?"
"Because... she is like a sister to me" Amy say. Her brave front calm Yuka as she wipe her tears. Trauma and flashback will always hit her whenever she was reminded of her Alice, the Alice that she felt so dirty. But, for the sake of this children, she will stay strong.
"To continue, the second phase will start around then, probably in spring to early summer next year. So I hope, if its possible for all the clone to be dead by then. And when thats' done, the last phase- establishment. I won't disclose of it yet, not until we start the 2nd phase."
They all then settle down once again. The 3 adult just look at each other. Its well thought out, and truly, a feat considering Amy's age. They all then reach one consensus.
And so, the plan begin.
A/N: It's a bit rush, if i had the time later, i will try to remake this chapter to a lot more coherrent one. Anyway, thank you for all the support. It means a lot for me. Have a nice day!
