Maple High School Academy Hidden Year 1
The Secret Mission to Mirror Island

Mirrors

ADDISON RARELY SEES or meets Mr. Navarre. Although the headmaster was his mentor with Habibie and Thann, they rarely came face to face. However, when that afternoon while he was paying attention to Levi's strange experiment in the dorm yard, he was summoned by the headmaster's contract animal to face. While tidying up his waist uniform, he followed the cat-sized animal up the stairs to the principal's private room. Arriving in front of the green and orange door carved into a maple tree, he pressed one of the root carvings. Moments later the engraving mechanism moved and the door swung open.

Addison rarely met the headmaster and more rarely entered his private room. Sighing, the white-haired man circulated his gaze into the green-dominated room. The sensation was still the same when he first entered this room and officially became a student of Maple Academy.

“You finally came Mr. Spiegels. We have just discussed an important part for the mission this time,” said the principal while raising his face and sticking his hand towards the contracted animal. The animal jumped up and somehow turned into a robe and wrapped around the headmaster's body.

The mission? Addison slammed in while looking at the headmaster and then turned to his seniors, Thann and Habibie who had come first. Thann simply looked at him expressionlessly, while Habibie smiled as she scratched the belly of her dragon perched on her shoulders.

“What mission, Sir?” addison asked as he stepped closer and stood next to the small closet where the magic book was snoring.

“Yeah, I forgot to send a message to my contract animal regarding its mission. Looks like Lupaku's disease is severe. Though my dose has been added Madam Polina.” The headmaster seemed to be talking to himself and no one dared to respond as well.

Thann and Habibie just interlock with each other lyrics to hold back the excesses of his face remained flat. The whole school already knew that the headmaster had never taken any medicine or potion for his lupa disease after sleeping for 400 years.

“So this way, we got a mission to destroy and neutralize the radiation of the Golden Asteroid. As you already know, radiation from foreign objects that give a bad effect if in direct contact with humans.” Mr. Navarro hinted Addison to take a seat. He sat in a strange chair from the root winding, lying next to an aquarium that contained whatever the skull of the animal was.

“Based on my observation, this mission is perfect for you,” continued the headmaster while bowing his head slightly. “Especially Thann and Habibie who have a talent in energy absorption and neutralization.”

“But I don't have such talent, Sir.” Addison immediately regretted his words. Besides being spoken too quickly, the effect is that he is not confident. Indeed, he was a little less confident when compared to Thann and Habibie who had extraordinary talent. He did not know why he could be guided directly by the headmaster. Few students get that chance.

“That fragment is on Mirror Island. It seems like no student in the academy knows Mirror Island better than you. Isn't that right?” the headmaster said as he looked at Thann and Habibie.

Addison didn't know how to react. Hearing Mirror Island, his memory goes back to the bleak times before being discovered by the principal and invited to the academy. For some reason, the mirror of the sun disc he was holding felt hot.

“Betul, Sir. Addison is best suited as our guide for this mission.” Habibie agreed while looking at Addison with a smile.

“The talent of the mirror must be very useful if done in a very wide mirror media.” Thann also agreed.

“How so? Sure you're not interested?” ask the principal again.

“Of course I'm interested, sir. Any mission I will definitely live with pleasure.” Addison looked at Habibie and Thann. They all know, missions are the most awaited things. In addition to being free from lessons, they will be free to roam for several days after completing the mission.

Mr. Navarro smiled slightly as he wrote with a Hello Kitty pen in the book. “So it has been decided the mission this time is Thann, Habibie, and Addison. This mission is A level, so you have to be really careful. Your mission uniform has been prepared in each closet by the house fairy.”

Hello Kitty's. The three students were just looking at each other and trying to display a possible “Ba-good, sir.” expression Than tried to keep his voice stable.

“They start tomorrow,” said Mr. Navarro while tearing three sheets of paper. Inserting into the colorful envelope still pictured Hello Kitty and then spiked with the school logo wax stamp. “Send this to Shalima as the vice prefect to convey it to the teacher who teaches if you are on a mission.”

Thann accepted it doubtfully. “This letter, Sir?” thann asked in doubt, imagining that he was giving the envelope, which was like a love letter, to Shalima.

Mr. Navarro looked at Thann. “Why? You don't like the picture? I have another funny cat character if you want. I got a lot of gifts from little girls while walking around in human civilization in Hiddenland.”

“Ti-no, Sir. I like it very much,” Habibie replied quickly while taking the letter that the headmaster handed over.

“I also like cats, Sir.” Addison immediately poked his body towards the table, kicked Thann's leg and pulled the letter.

The headmaster smiled mysteriously. The twilight sun pierced through the green window behind him, making his aura glow a creepy green. “Then, I'll see you tomorrow. Later Mevel will tell you the time and the gathering point.”

“Good, sir,” replied Thann while imagining a small orange-hooded boy who would often wander around the academy, carrying a clover umbrella and a small notebook. The notebook contained all the sins of the students that would be reported to the principal. Thann believes that Lily and Levi's sins are the most.

“Oh, yes, another one before I forget, Mirror Island that we will visit is close to the country of Zaadia. So we'll go there first because it's the nearest portal that can be accessed.” The headmaster still smiled mysteriously. “Good afternoon. Enjoy your relaxing time. I have to say goodbye first because there are students who have just melted the school statue.” The headmaster stuck out his hand, hinting to expel the three teenagers of responsibility in his room.

The three students simultaneously stood up and then parted from the strange room that always gave off the sweet smell. Arriving outside, the door thumped strongly behind them. The three teenagers looked at each other and could not help but laugh anymore.

“You see the fountain pen and the school principal's notebook?” addison asked, holding her stomach. “That my stomach was cramping withholding laughter inside earlier.”

Habibie chimed in while banging on the wall, while his dragon was yawning like a piglet. “From the many creepy things in the room, why must Hello Kitty?”

“I don't know how to give this to Shal,” Thann said as he looked at the pink colored paper with the cat's image.

“Love letter, nih,” ledek Habibie while forming love gesture with her index and thumb. “Like this gesture of love in the human world. Shalima must have melted when you gave her that.”

“May the principal give you a letter like this,” complained Thann and completely ignored Habibie's ledge. He has been immune to being bullied by his classmate for a long time.

“Do not until the principal asks for a budget to Miss Elafir to hold Hello Kitty stationery,” said Addison increasingly becoming-so.

“I'd rather hear the supersonic rant of the vice principal than wear a pen like that.” Habibie added.

Without them noticing, there was already someone who had been standing up while paying attention with his brown eyes. “Gosh! Since when were you there, Dik?” addison shouted while holding his chest, making the glass he was holding almost fall.

“Talking about the principal, your point each minus 15.” Mevel said as she wrote in the Hello Kitty picture notebook. He smiled and ran down the hallway with his clover umbrella.
