Ghost School

Being a Spirit: Izumi's Decision

*

**

The fight between me and the spirit exterminator is inevitable.

Trang! Zraash! Oh wow!!

A fierce fight ensued.

The female spirit exterminator clucked in annoyance because after hours of fighting, it still could not defeat me.

"'Just turn yourself over to us!! No matter how hard you try, you will eventually still be sealed by us as well!! Don't bother humans anymore and be nice!!" Yells

I stared back at him with anger.

"You attacked me first!! Had you not first nodded at me, I would not have attacked you either!!" Shouted

"Omong empty! Many people have been victims because of you!!"

"Because they had a problem with me from the beginning. Whereas you guys didn't have any problems with me at first!"

"Based on evil spirits have no heart!! Whatever the case, there are still a lot of people who died because of you! You're saying we don't have a problem with you? Ever since you became an evil spirit, we've had problems with you!!"

"The evil spirit only thinks of killing people for its own satisfaction!! It's dead, but still annoying!!"

Degs...

Because I'm an evil spirit, so my position is always 'evil' where humans are. Though... I didn't expect it to be like this myself. And again... I became like this because of humans.

My anger broke made them.

"You guys say I kill for my own satisfaction? Then do you yourself also eliminate the spirit not for self-satisfaction? Go back home and look in the mirror before saying and acting!! Just because I'm an evil spirit, doesn't mean that all of your actions are right!!"

"You guys say I don't have a heart? It is precisely these humans who took my heart and broke it!!"

"Don't make excuses!! You yourself are also assassins disguised as human rescue heroes!!"

The three of them gasped at once in shock at my words, let alone their chief.

"Curtain!"

I teleported away.

"Basic!! Let's go after it!!" Shouted the woman. But the chairman immediately held him.

"Today is enough to get here, not to be chased"

"But the chairman---"

"We're exhausted from this fight"

"..."

"Good"

*

The days passed and they came back to school to throw me out.

They don't give up on me.

Swosh!!

I who was scarred from the fight was now besieged by the three spirit exterminators.

With his strength, his chairman who possessed the kind of magic power suppressed my movements to the point of being unable to move. Even just moving the eyeball is difficult.

"You're surrounded"

"Damn!! I saved my previous strength for fear that the spirits would attack me after this fight. But if it's like this I can't skimp anymore. Should I use the power of the heart crystal?" Thought

"It is a shame that I who have conquered many of these territories end up in the hands of 3 humans. I can't end up like this"

"Goodbye, disgusting spirit!"

I grinned hearing it.

"Don't take me for granted, man! You'll regret it!!"

Prangs!!

The seal that was pressing down on me broke apart with just a single strike of blue heart crystal power.

I counterattacked them by having them slammed pushed by the aura. After that I immediately teleported away to save strength.

And sure enough, after I teleported, I was greeted by the remaining rebels who were ready to eliminate me.

"Everyone, let's attack!! He's dying made by a spirit exterminator! Now is the right time for us to take revenge on her!!!"

Fighting back is inevitable. This time I single-handedly fought the spirits with the number up to almost a thousand.

I can't call Kei to come because he's holding the captured rebels. Then Kagusa was also working on the task of the leader I had entrusted to her.

There was no choice but to face them all alone.

*

Ever since that spirit exterminator came, there has been no quiet day for me. Every time I kept on guard against the attack, be it from the spirit hunter himself or from the rebel spirit.

For the first 1 month I was still able to deal with it. But the longer it takes, I can't continue like this anymore.

There was no time for me to rest, meaning that there was no time for me to replenish my strength wasted during the fight.

If I focus on killing all three spirit exterminators, my strength will be depleted. At that time, the rebels will take the opportunity to eliminate me. And vice versa.

I was faced with a dead end.

On one occasion, me, Kagusa, and Kei started a meeting on this matter.

"What if I eliminate all the rebels, sir?" Ask Kei

"No. The territory would be critically affected if it lacked the power of evil spirits. The condition of this region becomes more unbalanced because the average rebel is an evil spirit"

"Then we quickly kill the exterminator" said Kagusa quickly

"If it could be that easy, from the beginning I've killed them like everyone else" said my heart as I leaned my back against the back of the chair.

"If we do all three, we can! We just need 1 on 1 with them!" Kei's voice spirit

"Their timing came inappropriately. They come in the afternoon, where moments of the spirit are busy. Kei, you're busy dealing with the rebels in prison, while Kagusa is busy with leadership matters that can't be left behind"

"You can't help me this time. Moreover, your souls are at stake because of this"

Kagusa and Kei immediately put on a sad face mixed with worry.

"Then, what to do?" Ask Kei

I was silent for a moment, and one thing slipped in my brain.

I immediately pulled my body leaning towards them and gazed seriously.

"I have... The idea of avoiding hunters and rebels at once"

2 weeks later, in the back yard of the school there was a fierce fight between me and the spirit hunters.

When I felt that my strength was drained enough, I immediately ran into the school building to outwit them. On that occasion, I gathered a little extra strength.

"Don't run!!"

There was a fight back in that empty classroom.

Until a while later...

Klang!!!

My entire body was tied to a chain of strength and also my movements were sealed.

The chief looked at me in disbelief.

"I didn't expect to be able to catch him just like this after all these years of fighting before"

"Whatever the reason, the important thing is that he's been caught. Seal it!!" Shouts the man

The three of them instantly set up a formation to seal me up so as not to haunt the school anymore.

"This time it really worked! He won't be able to run away again!!" Said the woman with joy

Swosh!!

They seemed happy to think they had managed to seal me.

I smiled at their reaction.

"Don't be happy! I'm sealed because of myself, not because of you!!" Shouted

"I've never been defeated by anyone!!"

The chairman looked at me seriously for a moment, then he raised his voice.

"You're the spirit that's been causing us the most trouble all this time. Tell me your name one last time, I'll remember it"

I paused for a moment, then answered.

"Izumi Alato"

"Arato Izumi's. All right, I remember. I'm Yasa Iruki, remember that name well"

"Yasa Iruki's... I'll come back and avenge me" I murmured

"I'll wait for that moment to arrive"

Woosh's...

Zuunggg...

I also disappeared along with the light from the magic circle that faded.

They thought, I'm sealed in one of the tools they've prepared to be the container where I'm sealed.

But in fact, I was sealed in my book that was still in its place, which was under my table first.

Back to 2 weeks ago.

"I have... The idea of avoiding hunters and rebels at once"

"But I'm not sure you'll agree with this idea because it sounds crazy"

"At this time, any crazy idea might be the solution" replied Kagusa

Kagusa and Kei put on serious faces preparing to hear Izumi's explanation.

"What if... I'm sealed?" Ask Izumi

Kagusa and Kei were shocked to hear that.

"What do you mean?" Ask Kei

"If I am sealed, of course I am spared from rebellion and will not be eliminated by the hunters"

Kagusa directly held onto her forehead while giving a small massage.

"Whatever my expectations, what you say is too crazy. I didn't expect your idea to be that crazy for your genius size"

"You never heard of it? Crazy and genius are thin differences" Izumi replied quickly

Kagusa looked back at Izumi seriously.

"Everything you do has to mean something. Maybe we'll misunderstand, so explain it to us first"

Izumi again leaned her back against the back of the chair and relaxed her body.

"As I said before. If I'm sealed, the rebels won't be able to do anything about it. Hunters won't eliminate me either because there's no reason they're doing it"

"But... Of the many, why should it be sealed?" Ask Kagusa worried

Izumi glanced towards Kagusa with her eyes flat.

"Is there a lot of choice in the current situation?" Ask Izumi

Kagusa was speechless unable to say.

"Stay away... You know what happens if you're sealed?" Ask Kagusa

"The strength I have been struggling to strengthen all this time will be weakened from being sucked in by the seal. Before the seal is opened, I will not be able to get out of the dark place and continue to be confined there. I know that"

"If you know, why do you still want to?!" Shouted Kagusa worriedly mixed with a little emotion

"That has happened to me a lot in life" Izumi replied casually

"Don't equate you who are human with you now!!"

"And again, what about this region if you don't exist?"

"That's better, right? There will be no enemy territory that can take the land from the school territory, because I, the owner, do not exist. They won't be able to take the heart crystals in my body"

"Izumi!---"

"Kagusa!"

Kei who had only heard earlier now raised his voice.

Kei with his fiery red eyes looked at Izumi and Kagusa with sadness.

"Master's right. The only way for you to avoid all that is by sealing Master. That way, no spirit or human can touch the Master"

"Kei-- You too..." Kagusa muttered in disbelief

Kagusa gritted her teeth.

"Izumi was also tormented during the seal!! So what's the difference with her being free like now?!" Shouted Kagusa

"At least Master's soul is assured if he is sealed"

Kagusa was silent again. He clenched his fist until it trembled and his veins came out.

"...."

"All right..."

With a heavy heart Kagusa finally agreed.

Kagusa was still bowed and her hands clenched tightly on the table.

"I'll be fine"

Kagusa flinched then looked at Izumi who was in front of her.

"You think I'm as weak as you need to worry about me?" Ask Izumi

Izumi's words managed to calm Kagusa's worries. His hands relaxed and his face began to improve.

"You're still a child, I'm a little scared" Kagusa said with a faint smile

Izumi let out a long breath.

"This region... I'll leave it to you until I get back. Make sure when the seal comes off, I can still see you guys"

"You think we who are the right and left hand of this spirit leader are as weak as what?!" Shouted Kagusa

Izumi chuckled at Kagusa's reaction.

In the middle, Kagusa patted the top of Izumi's head slowly.

"You should be fine. I'd feel so guilty if there was something on you"

Izumi quickly shook Kagusa's hand.

"Don't treat me like a kid!!"

"You're a kid, you little brat"

After that, their brief meeting was over.

And the plan begins.
