Ghost School

Becoming a Spirit: The Risen Good Spirit

*

Mothers...

Ever since I became a spirit, I became so obsessed with killing and terrorizing people in school that I forgot about my own mother.

The mother I love the most in this world and is also the reason I kept on surviving before....

I might even forget it.

"Your mother, didn't you think about your mother for 2 years being a spirit?" Ask Kagusa

I'm speechless.

"A... What are you saying?! I hate humans, and Mama is human!!" Shouted

"Your voice sounds doubtful. You're hiding something"

"You don't have to interfere in my life! Take care of yourself!!" Shouted

"Your business is all my business, too. While there is no leader of evil spirits, you who are evil spirits are also my responsibility"

"Otherwise, you're the candidate for the leader I chose directly"

I just stared intently at the good spirit leader.

"Arato Izumi, you love your mother, right?" Ask Kagusa

"You want to do what your mother wants. But why are you being like this? Your mother didn't expect you to be like this"

"Whisper! It's noisy! It's noisy! I love humans?! No kidding!! He was nothing more than a human whose only duty was to bring me into this world. Had she not given birth to me, I would not have been like this either!!"

"He's the one who made me like this!! I hate him! Hate it!!! How could I love a human!!"

"He who loves me is like his treasure, but after that he threw me away like trash, and even forgot me. I can't love a man like that!!"

"Arato Izumi's..." Kagusa Mumbles

"You... Crying?"

I immediately gasped and held onto my wet cheek.

"crying? Where possible. Since High School I've not cried anymore, but they tortured me anyway. How could I cry for no reason?!"

"No. I'm not crying. It's water that's out of nowhere. These are not my tears..." I muttered and continued to wipe the eyes that were still flowing tears.

"Your mouth is very spicy, Arato Izumi. But what your mouth says is inversely proportional to your heart"

"You haven't seen him in 2 years. How about you calm yourself down first and meet your mama, then we resume the talk--"

"Whispering!!" Shouted

"Huh?! Meet her?? For what?! He couldn't see me either. Even though he saw me too, what he had in mind was that I was the murderer of his beloved husband!!"

"Why are you crying then?"

"I'm not crying!!"

"I don't know you still don't understand either or you pretend you don't understand" Kagusa said with a sigh, tired of facing me

Kagusa immediately teleported behind me. I haven't had the chance to act, I've been teleported to another place.

That place is...

Zuuungdo....

The walls were very familiar white, and the spacious room was full of white, which only occupied a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes to do the treatment.

We both teleported to my mother's ward, and stood in front of my mother's bed.

Mother sat on her bed with a calm but also sad face, constantly daydreaming staring out the window.

"Ma..."

Geck, tok, tok.

My center of attention, mother, and Kagusa were diverted towards the door that was knocked on.

"Excuse me, ma'am, it's time for lunch and medicine" the nurse said.

I just stared at the sister who was busy putting food.

"Well, please eat, ma'am. I'll wait until Madam finishes her meal"

"Yes... Excuse me... I have something to ask you..." Mumbles mother while playing her fingers.

"Yes? What is it, Madam?" Ask the sister

"That boy, didn't he come here?" Ask mom

"I kept waiting for him, but he didn't come..." Mumbles

"Ah, about that..." The nurse muttered with a guilty face

"Sorry, we haven't seen him enter this hospital again in the last 2 years..." Murmured the sister

"...."

Mother's face is getting grim.

Mother clasped the blanket that covered her legs up to her thighs.

"Oh, yeah..."

"The lady doesn't have to worry. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten about Madam. He's a teenager who's gonna grow up. She must have been busy with her business to the point of not having time to see the Madam" said the frantic nurse

"Yes, you're right. He's not possible... Forgetting me..."

I immediately flinched.

"Mama..." I muttered and walked closer to my mother

But...

Zuuu...

Suddenly Kagusa brought me back to school.

"Hows it? Now you understand?" Ask Kagusa

For the second time today, my eyes could not hold back tears.

I clutched my hair firmly and a huge feeling of guilt entered my body.

"What am I doing? While I was having fun, Mama was sad to keep waiting for me. Even I forgot about it because of my obsession and resentment towards the people at school"

"I blame Mama for forgetting me, but the truth is Mama keeps remembering me, even I forget her"

"Over these 2 years, Mama has been waiting for me..."

My crying is breaking more and more.

And suddenly...

Degs...

"!!!"

"Aarrayo!!"

"Agh.." -...."

I immediately cried out in pain while holding both of my eyes. Slowly my feet trembled and fell to the floor.

"My eyes... It hurts..." I muttered and kept holding both my eyes

"What?"

Degs... Degs... Degs...

"Arghhh..."

I was curling up in pain.Now not only in my eyes, but my whole body was in so much pain as if there was a fierce fight inside my body and I was ready to explode at any moment.

"What's up, Izumi?!" Kagusa cried out in panic

But I can't hear Kagusa's words. My ears don't work because of the pain.

The Drip... Drip...

The red liquid fell onto the floor that came out of my eyes and flowed into my hands up to my elbows.

"Blood... What is suddenly like this?! It couldn't be because of the previous fight. But because of what?" Kagusa Mumbles

Then Kagusa flinched.

"Wait... This feeling..." Mumbled

"Hey, Izumi. Get up and show me your eyes!" Shouted Kagusa and straightened my crested body.

"It hurts so much..." My groan

"Remove your hand. Let me see, what's with your eyes" said Kagusa and lowered my hand that still held her eye

Slowly despite being very sick, I opened my eyes and looked at Kagusa.

And Kagusa was very surprised to see him.

"I expected it because the aura changed drastically, but I was still shocked..." Kagusa Mumbles

"Your eyes... Purple-colored... The red color faded into blood" muttered Kagusa

"The good spirit of Izumi is rising"

Degs... Degs...

"Agh!!"

Kagusa began to look carefully at my body condition.

"The power of his good and evil spirits is fighting inside Izumi's body. Having just risen, the strength of his good spirit is still weak and the power of evil spirits is trying to drive away the power of good spirits. Because of that Izumi became very sick because of the battle of the two powers"

"Can't be allowed! If left unchecked, Izumi could vanish from not being able to withstand the fight of the two powers!"

Kagusa also helps me by channeling her good spirit power into my body so that my good spirit power can compensate for the evil spirit's power.

Yet...

Since I am at the level of an evil spirit master, so the power of my evil spirit is immense, and Kagusa cannot give her good spirit power that much.

"There is no other choice..." Kagusa Mumbles

Kagusa slowly put me down. He focused on his strength, and around him now began to appear flakes of his flying power.

Kagusa placed her hand in front of her chest, and slowly the flakes of her strength gathered together into one in her hand forming a bright shining blue crystal.

Kagusa came back to me.

"Give you the position of good spirit leader, because I know you're not a bad person in life. And now it's proven"

Kagusa inserted a blue heart crystal through my chest.

Slowly, the pain began to diminish. And unconsciously I fell asleep.

*

I also woke up from my sleep. I slept with a sitting position leaning against the classroom wall in the school corridor, still in the starting place.

"Away awake?" Ask Kagusa

I just glanced at Kagusa in silence with eyes that turned blue.

"Wah~ Your blue eyes are very beautiful compared to the red eyes that were previously very creepy"

"You slept very short, just a few minutes. Is it uncomfortable to sit in a sitting position? How about you take a break?" Ask

"It's not that important now" I said flatly

"..." - ".Kagusa just kept looking at me

"Why... You made me a leader? I told you I didn't want to be a leader, let alone a good spirit leader"

Kagusa smiled faintly.

"You're better suited to be a leader. During my leadership, the region has not progressed, but has been on the brink of further destruction"

"Initially I intended to cooperate and raise this region together with you as the leader of the evil spirits. But since your good spirit has risen, other than because of your safety, I thought it would be easier for you to manage it by yourself, because you don't need to get my permission if you want to do something"

"I'm sure there's another reason you're doing this to me" I said

"Because... You look a lot like me before. But my story isn't as bad as you"

"I used to think, I was suffering a lot. But as soon as I saw you, I was relieved that someone felt that way too"

"me too... Very childish" Kagusa said with a slow laugh

"..." - ".I just kept quiet while looking at him flat.

Then, Kagusa thrust a red heart crystal at me.

"This. Now you too must be the leader of evil spirits" said Kagusa flatly without looking at me

"..." - ".I stared fixedly at the red heart crystal in his hand.

"alright. Let's just say it's in return for you saving me"

Kagusa looked at me.

"What did you say? The power of that blue heart crystal is enormous and it can defeat the power of your evil spirit. If you do not become the leader of evil spirits, your safety can also be threatened especially you still can not control these 2 forces" said Kagusa

"What reason? This is also for your safety. You haven't done anything for me!!" Say Kagusa and solve this serious situation

"Who told you to suddenly make me a leader?!" My reply

"You don't like it?!" Reply Kagusa

I'm laughing a little.

"thank you. Thank you for bringing me to the important thing I forgot. Thank you for saving me too"

"How many times have you said thank you? Though you were very cold to me a moment ago and always threw me away before" Kagusa said with a laugh

"sorry"

"Ayolah~ Don't be so tense. I'm just kidding" Kagusa said as she patted my shoulder.

"So, now we're friends, right?" Ask Kagusa

I just smiled thinly.

"Come"

"Huh?! Still not?! How many more valuable things should I give you until you want to be friends with me?!" Ask Kagusa

"Maybe until you're willing to give your spirit to me" I replied

"You are heartless!! It must be because you still have the evil spirit side!!"

I laughed at Kagusa's reaction. Seeing me laugh, Kagusa laughed with me.
