Ghost School

Becoming a Spirit: Spirit Leader

*

**

"Well, now insert that red heart crystal"

I also pointed the red heart crystal at the chest. The crystal itself entered my body.

I could feel a great force enveloping my body.

"So this feels like the power of the leader" I muttered

"Now you have become a leader in both types of spirits, and I will be your right hand in good spirits. Then, I also recommend one evil spirit that will be your left hand. He was also the one who helped me eliminate the previous evil spirit leader"

Wush...

A spirit with red hair and red eyes came.

For a while he and I stared at each other in silence.

Then he suddenly bowed before me.

"Sorry for the silliness. I am Kei who became the right hand of the previous leader of evil spirits" he said

"Why are you bowing?" Much

"Because you're my boss. And I will devote myself to you, Mr. Izumi" he replied

"I don't need anything like that. I don't need a right hand or a left hand"

"Did you throw me away, Mr Izumi?" Ask Kei

"I'm just giving you freedom" I answered

"Now you can stand up" I continued

Kei stood up and stood straight with his right hand on his chest.

"Then, I decided to be your loyal left hand"

"You're weird. Just met but you dare say that" I suspect

"Don't worry. Kei will not betray" Kagusa said

"Actually, me and Kagusa have been watching Mr. Izumi even since Master was alive"

"Me and Kagusa have similar tastes, but our personalities are at odds. So Kagusa did not directly invite me to cooperate, and offered it to you first"

"I don't understand what's pulling from me until you're my subordinates"

"You are very logical and have a leadership spirit. You fit into being a leader and organizing things. It's just that the aura is pent up because of the bad situation around you. That's what got us interested"

"They're the type of babu who's picky for the spirit that's going to be her master" I thought

"others... The three of us are similar for a few things. So we can work together better" Kagusa continued

"Like?" Much

"Many things happened. Although we're both in different times than you, but the problem isn't much different"

"...." - ".I was silent for a while, then squatted down in front of them.

"Master! What are you doing?!" Ask Kei

"I, Arato Izumi, as the new leader of good and evil spirits, vow to strive to revive the school district to success"

"And as a spirit who got this position directly from the previous good spirit leader, Ikawa Kagusa, I will not be hostile to him and will support him in any situation"

"I will believe in you two not as superiors and subordinates, but as Izumi, Kagusa, and Kei"

Kagusa and Kei fell silent while looking at me in disbelief.

1 second later, they both smiled happily.

"So, have you considered us friends?" Ask Kagusa spirit

"I will try not to let you be disappointed to believe in me!" Kei said happily

Kagusa walked over to me and extended her hand.

"Stand Izumi. Oh, naw. Leader"

"I don't deserve to be called like that by you" I said with a faint smile

"Let's~ You're the leader now"

"I'm still not used to it"

"Please get used to. Because other spirits will call you that way in the future"

"..." - ".I did not respond to Kagusa's words

"Now others must have been able to feel that the position of the leader has changed. I must call them" muttered Kagusa

Kagusa flicked her finger.

Sure enough, spirits sprung up to fill all places in the school building, even the school field full of spirits, to the highway.

The spirits are divided into 2. To my right are all good spirits, and to my left are evil spirits.

I was silent for a moment because it was too sudden.

I walked up to the window and opened it.

The spirits in unison instantly crouched in salute.

"Greetings to the new leader of the school district!!" Shouted them in unison

"..." - ".I was silent, speechless

"Hey, say hi too, and tell us what you want to say to us" whispered Kagusa

"It's... This situation... I never thought this would all be in the path of my destiny" I thought

I took a deep breath, and started talking with a serious face and a firm voice.

"Hello, everybody. I am Arato Izumi, the new leader of good and evil spirits in this region. First of all, thanks to all of you for coming here. Then..."

"Don't expect the rules from the previous spirit leader to be the same as the rules from me. I won't hesitate if you dare to do anything!!" Threatened

"My rules aren't hard"

I flicked my finger and there were a lot of shards of power coming into every spirit in the school, wanting it to be good, evil, even to Kagusa and Kei.

They all looked puzzled while looking around their respective bodies.

"The first rule I made..."

"Never dare you ever speak of my life, either directly in front of me, or behind me!!"

"I've given the seal to all of you without exception. If you break the rules I made and still talk about them, openly or subtly, the seal will be activated and will lock your soul underground" I continued

I honestly really, really hate myself. Compared to everyone else, I hate myself the most. So when I hear someone talking about my life, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I get really angry.

Because I think everything I've been through is a bad thing, and I shouldn't have been born and been in this world.

I hate.... To me who is so cowardly, cowardly, and pathetic.

And worse, I know that I've been selfish and abused my power by forcing them all to follow my personal desires, but I still do it without seeming remorse.

*

Everyone fell silent looking down in fear hearing my loud screams at all of them.

"Second rule...."

"Follow all my orders! Because everything I do is also for the sake of this region!"

"You don't have to be loyal to the point of continuing to stick to me. Just follow what I tell you and after that you can do what you want freely"

"Regulation three, this is for the addition of the first and second rules...."

"Don't be discouraged if you guys are locked up after breaking both rules. You get punished by how bad your mistakes are. And when it comes to the safety of this region, I will not hesitate to eliminate you without compassion"

"Of course, if you do things that benefit the region, I will also give you a gift"

I was silent for a few seconds then glanced to the left, where the evil spirits gathered.

"You evil spirits, I know how you feel because for 2 years, even a few hours ago I was just like you. You guys want to fight each other between groups, I don't really mind it because it's the innate lust of evil spirits"

"But once again I say, follow my orders! I won't ask you to work 24 hours, and once you're done, I don't mind what you do next as long as it doesn't cause any problems for the territory"

I turned my gaze to the right staring at the horde of good spirits.

"And for you good spirits, don't expect me to treat you better than evil spirits! I treat you all the same depending on your attitude towards me"

"Do you understand?!" Shouts are firm

"Yes, leader!!" Answer them in unison

"There's one more thing I want to tell you" I continued

"Don't call me leader, I don't need your formal attitude, just call my name without any additions"

Kagusa who heard it from behind me was instantly stunned.

"A... What are you... Say..." Kagusa muttered in disbelief

I glanced back at Kagusa.

"I've said many times before, I don't want to be a leader" I said in a small voice so that no other spirit could hear

I looked forward again before the spirits who were still crouching while bowing respectfully before me.

"That's all I want to tell you. You can disperse"

"Okay, leader!"

"Good, Izumi"

There were 2 calls coming together from their cries.

I was silent with Bete's face. While Kagusa looked pale while covering her face with her hands in frustration, there were too many unexpected things today.

"Pemim--- Izumi, don't explode, yes" muttered Kagusa

"Just finished saying, s**I told you to call me by my name! You don't understand**?" Much

"Sorry, Izumi" they said hesitantly

"alright. Please return to your activities"

They began to disappear into teleportation somewhere with pale faces of fear.

When it was quiet and left with Kagusa and Kei, Kagusa raised her voice first.

"They are still not used to calling their leaders by nickname. All this time want in any region, whose name is spirit leader, yes called leader. So don't be upset if someone accidentally calls you the leader" said Kagusa, whose face still looks pale

"Eitherway. I don't know how it's going to go ahead. But if they're not stupid, it shouldn't happen again"

"Somehow I feel offended" muttered Kagusa, remembering she wanted to call Izumi with the leader but was not resolved before.

"...." - ".Kei was silent with a serious face. He seems to be thinking seriously

"Master, if I call you sir it doesn't matter, right?" Ask Kei

"I told you, call me by my name without any additions" I said in frustration

"But I'm more comfortable speaking formally"

"I'd rather talk relaxed"

Yep. My life was full of formal things. Talking to older people should use my call - you. While eating should still look elegant and be required to use a fork and spoon, and cut the meat using a knife. Steady and steady way of walking, or holding emotions to keep looking calm in the eyes of others.

I'm tired of doing the routine that has become a habit.

Although there are still some habits that still stick to me, but I want them not to see me high.

*

"But as long as I don't call Master with the leader, it doesn't matter, does it?" Ask Kei

"You know? Even you who call me Master bothers me more. It makes me look like the owner of a loyal guard dog"

"I have no problem being anything to Master" Kei replied innocently

"What the... You saying?" I muttered in disbelief

"For the Master's sake, even if you want me to conquer the world, I will try to do so because of you my Master. Therefore, let me call you Master as I should"

"Is there a problem with your brain? You didn't run into anything, did you? Or hit in the head?" I asked while looking around Kei's body carefully

"No, Sir"

"Then, there's no other reason than you being stupid" I murmured

"I have no problem being as stupid as Master expected" Kei said with his innocent serious face

I was stunned in disbelief staring at Kei.

I let out a long breath while holding my head dizzy.

"Yes, yeah, whatever you want to call me"

I lost to Kei.

"Then, I can also call you leader right, leader?" Ask Kagusa

I stared at Kagusa.

"Eh? Wh why? Kei can, when can't I?" Plain Kagusa

"Yes, leader? I can call you pemim---"

Not done yet Kagusa said it, I already pointed my middle finger at her in annoyance first.

"Don't make my head dizzy 2 times" I warned

"Why souuuuuuuuuuuuuuu??!" Kagusa's screams don't take it
