Ghost School

Izumi's Life: Entering High School

After the incident of the hidden soul in me manifested itself, I did not think much more deeply and returned to focus on my daily life.

A few days later as we all gathered for dinner, Mr. Hazuki began to take care of our High School matters.

"Is there a High School you want to attend?" Ask Mr. Hazuki

"I want to be with Eru" replied Kirian

"You all want to go to school with Maeru?" Ask Mr. Hazuki

The three of them nodded quickly, but I just kept quiet.

"alright. My plan is to get you into that school, too. It's an elite school, and the principal is also your uncle, so you don't have to worry about problems at school"

The three of them stared at each other happily.

*

The High School we are going to enter is an elite school. On average both parents of the student had good rank and position. For Maeru, his father was the principal of the school and his late mother was a lecturer.

I didn't want to go to that school, because like in First High School, the students must have recognized me.

Plus, in that school there is no such thing as 'general classes' and 'special classes'. Everything was merged into 1 same building. So the chances that I will meet Young Master Hazuki every day are 99% going to happen.

After I finished eating, I went to Mr. Hazuki.

"Uncle, I don't want to go to that school. I want to go to a regular school, not an elite school"

Mr. Hazuki looked at me sharply.

"Your father was Arato Kirein, my business rival when he was CEO. In addition, from the beginning the Arato family was a rival of the Hazuki and Foren families. Judging from your father's descendants, there's no reason I should be kind to you"

"But you are also a descendant of the Foren family, of which Hazuki's family is one of the closest associates and subordinates of the Foren family. Putting you into an ordinary school is like the Hazuki family doesn't want to be in touch with the Forens anymore"

"But uncle---"

I immediately gasped and did not continue my words.

I want to say that grandfather really dumped me and didn't consider me his family at all. But if I did, it would be very risky. Grandpa can do anything to me and it can have an impact on mom who also depends on Grandpa's funds for hospital care.

"...."

I fell silent while bowing my head, while Mr. Hazuki was still looking at me fixedly.

"You understand, right? Don't fuck around. Even if you're a descendant of the Forens, the fact that half your blood is from the Arato family has not changed. Don't think I can't do anything to you"

"Yes, uncle..." Mumbles

I finally restrained my ego and followed the path that was set for me.

That's my destiny.

I will be destroyed if I fight against destiny.

I think so.

*

I still feel confused. I don't know what I should do.

I can already imagine what my fate would be in that High School if I were with Young Masters Hazuki even longer. But if I'm against that, mom's life is at stake.

I thought, keep thinking what I should do.

Follow my ego, or follow my destiny.

The result of my thoughts all night was, there were no right answers, and there were no wrong answers either. It all depends on my choice, which one I think is better.

Although I have found the key to the question, but I do not know which lock I should open using the key.

If I think about it, Grandpa really loves his second daughter, Rosaline. Aunt Rosaline loved her mother. So grandpa shouldn't have done anything to mom for Rosaline's aunt.

But that doesn't mean mom's life isn't really threatened.

Now my cousin's aunt and sister, Kinshiki went overseas following my uncle who worked there.

This means that even though grandfather secretly did not finance the mother's hospital funds, neither did aunt know.

The next day, I came to see my mother as usual. But because my mind is still tangled by various thoughts, several times I daydream and ignore my mother.

"Hey... Heeey~"

I immediately woke up from my daydream.

"Ah, yes. What's up, auntie?" Much

"You daritadi was just daydreaming. What's up?" Ask mom

"Ah, that...." I murmured doubtfully

"Tell me aunty, what's the problem?" Ask mom in a soft voice.

"...." - ".I was silent for a moment.

"Yes. Let's ask what Mom thinks" I thought

"I'm..."

"I'm confused. My foster father told me to go to an elite school, but I didn't want to. I want to go to a regular school..." Mumbles

"Elite school? Isn't that good?" Ask mom while tilting her head.

"There's... A reason I can't explain. The point is there's something that makes me not want to go to an elite school, but if I'm against my foster father, I'm going to get in trouble and that can also have an impact on the people I care about"

"I'm very confused... What should I do..." Mumbles

"..." - ".Mom was silent for a moment while looking at me deeply, then she smiled again.

"In both options it's equally risky, right? Better to go to an elite school. There you can learn well. You're smart, so keep learning, get first place again and show your mother and aunt what you've achieved again"

"Mama wants me to go to an elite school... And first place again..." Thought

I was silent for a moment while clenching my hands.

"My purpose is to live solely for the sake of my mother. So I'm going to follow my mother's will" I thought

"alright. Thanks for the input, auntie"

I just returned with a gentle smile.

A few days later we started taking care of the high school entrance requirements.

Just like during the First High School entrance test, in this test I relented and let myself be ranked 20th, under Kirian, Maeru, Rio and Rusen.

"Hmph! The first champion of the general class would indeed never be able to defeat from a special class!! This time in the 20th rank must be because of luck!!" Shouted Rio arrogantly

"...." - ".I didn't respond to him at all and acted bodo terribly.

From the start, I intended to be in the top 50 to avoid Young Masters Hazuki, but I didn't think they were that stupid until I was 20th.

Of the 1000 people who took the entrance test, only 130 were accepted.

In each class of class 10, 11, and 12 there are 5 classes, and in the first class can be considered a special class.

in a special class there are 30 students whose entrance test scores are highest, then in grades 2 to 5 contains each of 25 students.

Since I am in the top 30, it means that I will be in the same class as the four Young Masters of Hazuki, which means that 100% I will continue to meet them, whether at home or in class.

Once I knew I was going to class with them, I hurriedly went straight to the teacher who was taking care of the new students.

"Excuse me, teacher. I'm a new student, Arato Izumi. I was 20th, but I didn't want to go to 10-1. If possible, I would like to enter the 10-2 class change places with the one in 31st place" I said

The teacher immediately put on a wry smile face.

"Sorry, but the data of each student has been recapped and can not be changed again. In this school, such things should not be done. If possible, there will be many parents of students who bribe so that their children enter the best class" replied the teacher.

I just realized, this school is an elite school that is very strict with the value of its students. Although both elite schools, but this school with SMP is different.

And I realized that I would not be able to escape from Maeru, Kirian, Rio and Rusen for the next.
