Gakuen Alice: Orange Petal

<spoiler alert>

So I finished reading Gakuen Alice roughly around 1 or 2 years ago and just suddenly wanted to come and read it again since it was really good well not so for the ending because it felt like a cliffhanger *_*

What I want to talk about was where the part they concluded that Mikan has already used up her alice [Nullification Alice] and will have to expel her (this sounds so harsh) and erase her memories.

//I was like, 'what the hell? She saved the school and in return she has no memory of it whatsoever. Well, at least she is still remembered. Heh.//

So what if Mikan still has at least a l i t t l e bit of her [Nullification Alice] and no one knows--even she doesn't know it--and when it was time to erase her memories...

She suppress it with the little remaining power that she has.

.........

Well, okay. Little use of her alice can't suppress all of it BUT it can still be effective, am I right? Like holy shit. What if she still remembers but her memory didn't cover up that fact that she was expelled and that Hotaru is still y e t to be found //maybe she won't even remember that Hotaru sacrificed so m u c h for her happiness and Mikan would just think that she will meet Hotaru in time// then Goshima Hijiri <alias Shi-chan//Mikan's "childhood friend"> will be surprised and would try to contact Gakuen Alice but the fucking problem would be is that you c a n ' t c o n t a c t the academy so Goshima will still hide his identity and be a friend.

Bear would be surprised too, of course but will be happy because he's remembered.

Then Mikan, before forgetting any of it once again, writes it on a journal //everything that she remembers// and would be a storyteller to the people in her hometown saying it was like "The Adventures of the Orange Petal!" and people there would say that it was a really good story (though unreal because she still used 'alice' as 'superpowers' which they don't know about and it sounded like Orange Petal was a 'superhero') and spread it to all then a kid (let's just name her Key) in her hometown really loved her story and is actually an alice user too and is about to enroll to Gakuen Alice.

Before going to the academy, Key goes to Mikan's House (Shi-chan is visiting) and asked to tell her the story again because Key was going away to this school for specially talented girls like her. Mikan became sad because it reminded her of Hotaru and asked what school is it then Key would say, 'Mom said I shouldn't tell because it's a secret! But she said that it was similar to the school where 'Orange Petal' has gone to!' (Shi-chan looks over to Mikan watching her reaction, because he's SHOOKT)

So Mikan felt time stopped and smiled at Key. She retells the story in her view (y'know, first person) and Key, thinking it was a new way of telling the story, (with Shi-chan having a shocked face) noticed the ending was a bit off than the feeling she gave off when telling it earlier.

Or at least, the ending was rather new. Which made Shi-chan realize the reason why Mikan remembers.

Key thought it was a sad ending.

Mikan explained that the ending just came in and it wasn't really still an ending so she'll have it fixed when Key 'comes back' again.

Key then goes and enrolls to Gakuen Alice after being told by Mikan that Key should be in good hands because there's a person named 'Narumi-sensei' (which was like Orange Petals' sensei//because it's fking real) in that school.

So there we have it, Key gets to be fast friends in her grade level and there was this one time when Gakuen Alice held a 'storytelling contest' in which when your group wins, all of you can get to live as a special star for a day which made almost everyone was fired up to enter the contest.

Key entered the contest in hope that everyone will hear Mikan's story about 'Orange Petal' and only 5 people including her were left to tell their story on-stage.

She asks her fellow classmates to help her do the visuals which they happily did (for the reward) and Key, thinking that Mikan was Orange Petal in a metaphorical thought because she's in gakuen alice and all, made Mikan's appearance as the one playing as Orange Petal (//using one of her friend's alice)

The judges were Narumi-sensei, Shiki, Kazumi, Noda, and surprisingly, Natsume or maybe Ruka or maybe both (idk. I just thought it would be kinda cool).

So Key breathes in and out and told her story.

Everyone at first thought it was funny and a bit ridiculous.

But the higher levels thought otherwise when Key continued on.

The judges had this seriously priceless face. Natsume and Ruca being the ones with the most shocked faces.

Key was reading on a journal that Mikan wrote when she just came back. Yes, Mikan entrusted it to her in hopes that Key will write in it too. Everyone went quiet and listened diligently.

They knew it too well that it was Mikan's life that Key was telling but they were also wondering who told her that? Even the other parts were something that they didn't know, so how?

Natsume was ready to take Key off the stage and interrogate her. E v e r y o n e was ready to ask her many things.

But the ending was the most surprising to them.

It went like this:

'The school I had gone to became peaceful and my life was full of love because my friends are all smiling happily but that wasn't the only thing. I think I have used up my powers to save many people. It became gone like I didn't have any of it in the first place. I know, there's actually a rule in which I have to go away and they'll erase my memories because I don't have my powers. I had no choice but accept it. My life here in this academy was filled with tears and joy. When I was about to go away, everyone said goodbye to me. I am still wondering why that fire-powered guy haven't recovered, I didn't get to say goodbye to him. He and my best friend Hotaru were the only ones I didn't get to say goodbye to. I am pretty sure that Hotaru was working on her invention so she doesn't have any time to say goodbye. Oh but actually she did sent her regards to me during my sleep. Other than that, I said goodbye to everyone. Surprisingly, everyone came to say goodbye which really touched me. They said that there's a person waiting outside the gate for me so that he can erase my memories of this wonderful school. It was a painful but I had to go. I smiled and said to goodbye to everyone. When I had gone out to the gate, the person was waiting. He had his hand on my forehead and for a moment, I fainted. I woke up and found myself in my home, where I really should be. My grandpa teared up and I thought everything I saw was a dream. But then, I almost forgot about Bear who was inside my luggage. I opened the luggage and he was really there. The tears came rushing in and I hugged my grandpa with Bear in my hand. I concluded that maybe I still had my memories intact? How though? Then I told myself, I think it was because I still had my powers left within me that time and I succeeded in making many of the memory erasing powers off. I know that some of my memories are still forgotten. But I still remember the warmth of my forever friends' smiles. And I won't ever forget that because we will still meet once again and I promised that we will watch the sea together.'

The ending came in with a scene of Mikan smiling happily while writing all of it.

Everyone was quiet after hearing and seeing this.
