A ten second melody was played over the classroom's loudspeakers, marking the end of academic lessons.
Students packed their bags after they have greeted the teacher. However, this is not the end of the school day for most students. After an hour of lunch break, students have to attend another three hours of co-curricular activities (CCAs). Yuan Feng and Si Ning are in the same CCA: National Cadet Corps (Air) [NCC(Air)]
Yuan Feng and Si Ning took out their uniforms from their bags and went to the changing room. After they have changed into their uniforms, they went to the canteen to have their lunch.
In the canteen, there were many students wearing different clothing which represented the different types of CCAs they were in. Some were in sport CCAs, some in Uniform Groups (UGs), some were in Aesthetics and some were in clubs. Under these main groups, come different individual CCAs. For example, under the UGs, There were seven different CCAs that made up the UGs: Scouts, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), NCC(Air), National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC), Boy's Brigade and Girl's Brigade. It wasn't a secret that many students hated or dislike having their CCAs after school, especially on Wednesdays, where students have a ton of homework to do after they return home.
After they had their lunch, they talked with other cadets leaders about the training plan for the junior cadets. The Day was suppose to be indifferent from other trainings. They will have a drill session, a water parade, a games session and last but
not the least an Individual field craft (IFC) session with the junior cadets.
"NCC, Fall in!" The Unit Sergeant Major (USM) shouted. All cadets proceeded to run to the Parade Square to fall in in their respective platoons: Junior Cadets, Senior Cadets and Cadet Leaders.
While that was happening, an Alicorn was walking around the school. She has found out that there were Unicorns believers in this School. Only those that believe in Unicorns existence could see Unicorns. While she certainly is not a Unicorn, she is still part Unicorn. She went looking for the Unicorn believers, however many students walked past her as if she wasn't there. She even tried walking up to the staff room to see if there was any Unicorn Believers, but the teachers did not notice her presence. She was about to give up until she noticed a girl and a boy carrying a dummy rifle walking towards NCC room.
Training has gone as planned and they have concluded the IFC session with the Junior Cadets. Si Ning and Yuan Feng were carrying a dummy SAR21 and is tasked to put it back in NCC room. As they approached the room, they saw something unbelievable in front of them. An Alicorn with a white coat and golden horn, wings and mane.
"Si Ning, are you seeing what I am seeing?" Yuan Feng asked.
"Yes. Should we go near it?" Si NIng replied. Yuan Feng nodded.
"Hey, we are not going to hurt you." Yuan Feng said, as he and Si Ning placed their dummy rifles on the floor.
"Don't be afraid, Unicorn, we are going to help you." Si Ning said.
The Alicorn started to move closer to the two humans. They can see me? That's wonderful news!
"That's right, come closer Unicorn." Yuan Feng said, smiling as the Unicorn started to move closer to them. The Unicorn moved close enough to be touched by them. As they put their hands forward to touch the Unicorn, an unexpected shout from behind scared the Unicorn and the Unicorn ran away.
"What are you too doing?! You are suppose to put back the rifles in the NCC room! Fall in in the Parade Square after you have done so." The USM shouted. Si NIng and Yuan Feng quickly picked up the dummy rifles on the floor and put them in the NCC room. They decided to keep quiet about what they just saw. Maybe it was just their imagination.
The Alicorn hid behind a staircase located near the NCC room. Though she can't be seen by the USm, but the USm could see what the two humans were doing. Questions will be asked and she didn't want to put them in a tough situation. She sighed, she had to find another way to find them.
"NCC, Persurai!" the USM commanded.
"Duty Honor Country, NCC, Hillgrove!" The cadets shouted as they marched off.
This marks the end of another CCA day for the students. As the cadets dispersed and went towards the school gates, Yuan Feng and Si NIng picked up their bags and walked home together. Both of them lived in the same district, Yew Tee. As they were walking towards the back gate, they were pinned to a wall by the Unicorn earlier, her sharp horn pointed straight at their faces.
"Easy there, Unicorn. We don't mean to harm you." Yuan Feng said.
"Sorry, it's the only way to get your attention."
"You can talk?!" Yuan and Si NIng asked, surprised that the Unicorn just said something to them.
"Yes. I need your help." The Unicorn said as she released her grip on the two students. "I need you to help me to find my magic."
"How are we going to do that?" Si Ning asked.
"I don't know. I am the only Unicorn that doesn't have a magical ability. My teachers asked me to come to the human world to look for Secondary School students who believe in Unicorns to discover my magical ability." The unicorn explained.
"Why Secondary school students?"
"Because you are more mature than primary school students. You can keep secrets that primary school students cannot."
"What kind of secrets?"
"The secret of Unicorns' existence and their powers."
"What kind of powers?"
"There are many different kind of powers that a Unicorn should possess. Some powers include levitation, flight, speed, granting wishes, casting spells and writing spells. I can't do any of the above."
"How do you know that you have not discovered your magical abilities?"
"Those that discovered their magical abilities would have a flowing mane and glitter that comes out of their hooves. But I don't have a flowing mane and my hooves don't produce glitter." the Unicorn said, looking down at her glitterless hooves.
"Do you have a name?"
"I am Ditsy."
"I am Yuan Feng and this is Si Ning. We look forward to helping you, Ditsy, to find your magical ability."
