Ghost School
Special Episode 15: Kagusa's Past 4 (Aimportant Week)
*
**
After Kagusa attacks Kei, they meet more often because of their interest in Izumi.
"Explain to me, why are you attracted to Arato Izumi?!" Shouted Kagusa
"It has nothing to do with you"
"I thought I hated him more than I thought" Kagusa thought
"God!!"
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear it"
"This one!!"
They often fought with each other. But as soon as Izumi was ganged up, they immediately stopped fighting.
"This is not the time to fight. I need to think of a way to save Izumi"
"And look for the future leader of evil spirits" thought Kagusa
"Basic is great, but it can't be anything" muttered Kei with a grunt.
"What did you say?!" Kagusa asked annoyed
"It's nothing"
"There is nothing good about talking to evil spirits" muttered Kagusa and left
"Today we got here first. I need to do leadership work"
*
The next day, as usual Kagusa searches for Izumi's whereabouts among the disciples.
"Why do I feel bad feelings..." Thought Kagusa
As soon as Kagusa saw Izumi who was walking back to her class...
"!!!"
Kagusa was shocked.
The special power of its leader was suddenly activated. Something like blue smoke was coming out on Izumi's head.
"Arwah... Izumi's spirit was seen in my eyes. Meaning... Pretty soon... Izumi's really dead..." Murmured Kagusa with a paled face
"What did you say?!"
Kei suddenly appeared behind Kagusa and his eyes glared at Kagusa.
Kagusa instantly keeps her distance from Kei, but Kei instantly catches and pulls Kagusa's collar.
"Just tell me, what you saw in your eyes!" Shouted Kei furiously
"Keep, br*ngsek!" Shouted Kagusa and broke away
"What do you mean Izumi's dead?!" Shouted Kei
"..."
Kagusa bowed with a lethargic face.
"I saw that Izumi's spirit was ready to come out of her body. You must have known that I had the power to see humans who would become spirits" Kagusa murmured
"Wait on! You saying... Your powers that see humans become spirits?" Ask Kei
"Yes"
"Then, that child will become a spirit in this school?"
Kagusa jerks.
"yes too. I didn't think because I was so surprised..." Kagusa Mumbles
"Izumi is a spirit. That's a big help to me!!" Thought Kagusa
"I need to look at his past to measure how advanced he will be when he becomes a spirit" Kagusa thought
Kagusa looked back at Izumi and her golden-brown eyes turned a shining green.
"I'll see... The life Izumi had lived all this time!"
Kagusa recalls Izumi's bad memories that people don't know.
...Izumi who does not get affection from her father......
...As soon as she started school at a young age, Izumi started being teased by her classmates because they thought Izumi was very arrogant......
...His family is devastated and so poor that his father's corporate plans leak into the hands of enemy companies......
...Izumi accidentally killed her father because his father wanted to kill his mother......
...His mother hated him for his father's death......
...Izumi who was not considered by her own family, and was given to the enemy family......
...And ended up being tortured by the son of his adoptive family....
As soon as Kagusa finished seeing him, her reflexes became trembling.
"Why are you suddenly?! What else did you see from that kid?!" Ask Kei
"It... Beyond the wildest expectations I ever had..." Kagusa Mumbles
"Think... I thought growing up never seeing my father, living in poverty, suffering from illness until my mother sacrificed for me and living without purpose after my mother died was like living in hell. But Izumi..." Thought Kagusa
"Not only did he never see his father, his own father hated and ignored him. His mother who loved him suddenly hated him half to death. Live with torment and self-exclusion for tomorrow"
"I... Although I was tormented, but to death my mother still loved me. I have never been physically tortured by anyone. No one hates me either..."
"Arato Izumi's... How did you survive this long?..." Kagusa Mumbles
"Speak clearly!! Tell me what you really saw!" Shouted Kei
Kagusa raised her head slightly and stared inside Kei.
"This evil spirit looks sincerely worried for Arato Izumi. But..." Thought Kagusa
"There is no reason I should obey your words" Kagusa said firmly
"What?!" Kei geram said
"Surely, Izumi will soon be dead. That's all I can tell you, evil spirit"
"Br*ch!! You good spirits always brand us evil spirits always do evil for no reason!!" Shouted Kei furiously
"What's? You're so mean, that's why I said that. Then you're wrong, my partner is also an evil spirit and I don't have a problem with that"
"Yes. My partner, the previous leader of the evil spirits you destroyed" Sindir Kagusa
The veins around Kei's neck and hands were popping up because he was holding back the anger.
"remove! I do a lot of work, unlike you, the right hand of the evil spirit leader but no work. Tops and subordinates are the same" Kagusa continued to quip and left from there
Kagusa teleports back to the castle of leadership and meets her right hand.
"Leader, you're back" Welcomed his right hand
"We have a job. This is important" Kagusa said in a hurry to go to her study.
"What's wrong?" Asked his right hand while following Kagusa from behind
"I've found the future leader of evil spirits" replied Kagusa
"What?! Already been? It means we can eliminate the evil spirit leader now?!" Shouts the right hand in shock
"No. I also still don't know for sure. And it still needs to take years"
"What's? If not, why did the leader say that?" Ask the disappointed right hand
"..."
Kagusa did not respond to him anymore.
As she walks into her study, Kagusa recalls Izumi's past.
"Iuzumi's... He could be certain to be a high-level spirit. I was the only one who became a middle-tier spirit, so Izumi would become a top-tier spirit. He really could be a big help to this region that is going through a crisis" Kagusa thought
"If you look at the current situation, it is likely that he will become an evil spirit. Therefore I immediately thought of making him the leader of the evil spirits later after cooperating with him. With that innate nature of his, he could even be a better leader than my comrade who had vanished" Kagusa thought
"But even so, it does not mean there is no possibility of him being a good spirit. Izumi is a good boy. It could be that at the end of his life he regretted the death of his father and became a good spirit"
"Would he be a good or evil spirit, I would invite him to work with me to rebuild this region. I've promised the master a good spirit leader before"
"..."
Kagusa fell silent and stopped walking suddenly.
"Lord leader?" Ask the right hand confused
"I wish Izumi could be a good spirit, because that way I can more easily guide her well. But on the other hand, right now I am in dire need of a trustworthy evil spirit. He really would be a big help to this region if he were an evil spirit" Kagusa thought
Suddenly Kagusa immediately fell down with both hands covering her face.
"What's wrong with you, leader?!" The right hand panicked
"I was bad. I'm so selfish with people who are going to die... I could have thought of using it when I already knew his past..." Kagusa Mumbles
"You why? You're very strange, leader. What's going on?" Ask the right hand in a hurry
"No, I'm fine"
Kagusa stood up and walked back to her study.

Tomorrow...
"..."
"..."
Kei and Kagusa meet again at the school building.
"Heah... Though I intended to see Arato Izumi, but it seems like I have to go" muttered Kagusa and prepared to leave
"Wait!" Shouted Kei. Kagusa glanced at Kei with a sharp look.
"Huh?! What else?" Ask Kagusa irritatedly
"Sok knows. I didn't make him my subordinate, but a partner!" Denying Kagusa
"The bottom line is, you want to make that kid on your side, right? Unfortunately I think so too"
Kagusa turned around and looked at Kei ferociously.
"So, you proposed to fight me for Izumi? Unfortunately I'm not interested. He is not something we can fight over at will. Aah, of course you're the one that the evil spirit didn't think of until then"
"I'm not!!" Kei muttered.
"I mean, I want us to work together to get that kid on our side!"
Kagusa folded her hands in front of her chest and looked down at Kei.
"I? Collaborating with you? That's impossible!"
"..."
"I admit that the current leader of the evil spirit is unfit to be a leader"
"So?" Ask Kagusa
"I'll help you eliminate the leader of the evil spirits as proof that I'm on your side"
Kagusa fell silent and stared at Kei.
"I don't think this is something you can say in a place where all spirits can hear it. You're very suspicious"
"I've made soundproof protectors, so no one's heard our talk"
Kagusa looked around. He just realized there was a soundproof shield.
"I didn't realize it because I was too focused on him" Kagusa thought
Kagusa glanced at Kei.
"And it seems like he's not the type to joke either. He seriously said that" Kagusa thought
Kagusa turned around and looked at Kei.
"So, what do you want? It can't be all free, right. What's the fee for you helping me eliminate the evil spirit leader?"
"Make me your partner"
"... It's a tough request"
"Before that, I want to know what makes you want to be my partner?" Ask Kagusa
"I realized my mistake, so I wanted to make up for it. I will help you eliminate my present Master, and make the child my new Master"
Kagusa looked at Kei confusedly.
"He's not dead yet. How do you know he's gonna be an evil spirit? It could be that he was a good spirit with that meek personality of his"
"Soft does not mean he never feels angry. It is precisely such a person who is vulnerable to become an evil spirit. I can be sure he will become a top-tier evil spirit once it becomes a spirit"
"..." - ".Kagusa fell silent
"Well, it's up to you" said Kagusa cuek
Kagusa walks to the back leaving Kei. But before actually leaving, Kagusa looked at Kei again.
"You still can't believe it. Show me the proof" Kagusa said and left.

Tomorrow...
Kagusa and Kei meet again.
As they faced each other, Kei handed over some sheets of paper to Kagusa.
"?"
Confused Kagusa accepted the paper and read it.
"!! It's..." Kagusa muttered in disbelief.
Kagusa looked at Kei.
"This is the evidence you asked for yesterday. How's it?" Ask Kei
"God! The leader of the evil spirit cooperates with other territories to destroy his own territory. This is so ridiculous!"
"But that's the reality" Kei replied
"You engineered this letter" Kagusa denied
"There's a leader's stamp. If it's the leader stamp of this region, you might not believe it because I can get it with my position as adjutant to the leader. But to stamp another territory, there's no way I can manipulate it" Kei denied
"Indeed right. There was no way he could engineer another region's stamp. And as a leader I also know this is genuine" Kagusa thought
"What... The leader of the evil spirit is really betraying?..."
"It is written that the attack will be carried out in 1 month. What happens if I make a counterattack plan? What if the neighboring region came to attack seeing a civil war in the region?"
Kagusa's brain incessantly thinks there are many possibilities facing this region.
While Kagusa was thinking hard, Kei restarted the conversation.
"I can help you deal with this if you want me to be your partner"
Kagusa scrunched her forehead.
"It could be a trap, right? You could have sided with your master and would have surrounded me"
Kei stared inside Kagusa.
"You don't believe me very much, yes" muttered Kei
"You see there saying that the attack is 1 month away, right? I'll make that plan fail within 1 week"
"Then I go first"
Kei leaves Kagusa. And Kagusa immediately went to meet his right hand.
"Leader, what's the rush?" Ask the right hand
"Something really happened!" Kagusa said seriously while lifting the paper sheet of letters belonging to the leader of the evil spirits with the leader of another region.
Kagusa and her right hand began to have serious discussions.
"So the adjutant of the evil spirit leader who gave it, and said he would help?" Ask the right hand
"Yes. But I still can't believe it. So we're going to make a plan for a counterattack this time. We make it as soon as possible and let no one know but us" said Kagusa
"Why?"
"I want to see the right hand br*hsek really finish it or not. If he's right on our side and he's successful, we're just making a fuss" Kagusa replied
"So for 1 week keep it a secret from others about this attack. Then ask the subordinates to keep the border even tighter"
"Good!"
That way, Kagusa and her right hand made a counterattack plan, but nothing was perfect.
Then, on the 5th day since Kagusa received the letter from Kei, in Kagusa's study...
"Leader, it is true that the best way is to eliminate the leader of evil spirits. That way the attack will also be void" said the right hand man
"There is no guarantee that the br*hsek disappeared his ally did not attack us. And again, it must not be easy for us to eliminate it. You know for yourself that he has many colleagues even from other regions" Kagusa denied
Kagusa ruffled her hair in annoyance.
"Let's... Just be careful if this is just your cunning trick. If you mess with me, I won't forgive you" muttered Kagusa annoyed
Then, Kei suddenly came to the castle of good spirit leadership and met Kagusa.
"What are you doing here?!" Shouts Kagusa's right hand
"It's not a place you can just go in!" Kagusa was angry
"Your face looks tangled. You must have thought a lot over the last 5 days" Ejek Kei
"If that's all you want to say, get out of here!!" Shouted Kagusa
Then, Kei throws a few more letters at Kagusa's desk.
Kagusa took the paper and glanced sharply at Kei.
"What else is this?"
"Read it"
After reading it, Kagusa gasped and reflexively stood up.
"As you can see, the attack is now off"
"How come" said Kagusa and stared intently at Kei
"I stole Master's stamp and asked the Allies to call off his attack. Finish" Kei said, revealing the seal of the evil spirit leader.
Kagusa fell silent as she continued to stare intently at Kei.
"Hey, do you know that leader's stamp is as valuable as a heart crystal? I risked myself to finish it, but you still can't believe it?" Kei asked and looked back at Kagusa's annoyance
"Indeed right. Because the leader's stamp is to prove that he's the leader, so it's worth it. If another spirit were to steal it, it could be the end of a territory because it was doing arbitrary things on behalf of the leader" Kagusa thought
"And anyway, it seems I owe him a favor"
Kagusa sighed and looked back at Kei. Now he had his usual expression.
"thank you. Thanks to you this region is safe" said Kagusa
"I don't need a thank you from you. As promised, we're partners now"
"By the way, the boy is still alive today. You said he was going to die a few days ago, right? You're not trying to lie to me?"
Kagusa was surprised.
"Still alive?" Kagusa said in shock
"Usually my vision was about 1 to 3 days before the man died. But it's been 6 days since I saw her... There was no mistake either, it was certain that what I saw was Izumi's spirit. I can also see his past" Kagusa muttered
"Did my vision go faster with time?"
"How about checking it out first?"
"really. I need to see Izumi directly"
"I'll make sure you're on my side, Arato Izumi" Kagusa thought
