Ghost School

Spirit Level

"It's possible to still dream, right? Then, were you looking at something bad in your past so you were like that? You look exhausted too"

"No. I don't see anything like that. Maybe it was because I was exhausted" Izumi replied

After we returned to normal conversation, I remembered about Izumi's book yesterday.

"By the way, yesterday afternoon what were you doing?" Much

"I was gathering with the good spirits at the school and went to watch my territory away from the school" Izumi replied

"If last night?"

"I had a discussion with Kagusa and Kei, then went to the border of life and death. Why why?" Izumi asked confused

"Life and death limitations? Why did you go to that weird place? You're not fighting with spirits, are you?" Much

"I went there to raise my level among spirits" Izumi replied

"You mean?" Much

"Among the spirits, there are 6 levels in view of the magnitude of their strength"

"In the lower 6th tier is a neutral spirit that has absolutely no power. In the later tiers there were lower, middle, upper level spirits, masters, and leaders at the peak of them all"

"But in fact, the lower, middle, upper, and master levels still have more levels in each of those levels. Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. So even though the spirit is a top-tier spirit, it still has another level. For example Kagusa, she is a level 5 master who is the strongest good spirit after me in the school territory"

"Then at the leader level, there are 2 types of levels. In evil spirits, the lowest to highest tiers are black, gray, dark blue, purple, and the red top"

"For good spirit leaders, the levels from lowest to highest are white, orange, yellow, green, and blue"

"And on both levels of the leader, there are more levels in each color, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5"

"My evil spirit power level is red-2, and my previous good spirit is yellow-3. But since yesterday I raised it, it is now green-3. My good spirit rose 5 level figures from before and I was at the same level of color and number as Hana"

"Well, aren't you being too good? Your power can match Hana who has been a spirit for centuries?!" I'm surprised, too

"Hehe! Even my evil spirit is on a higher level than that Niki. He is now at purple-3 level, whereas I am at red! Now do you know how useful it is for me to protect you from other spirits?"

"He was very proud of himself. But it's not weird if he's like that" I thought

"But how do you raise that level?"

"To raise the level, there are 2 ways that can be done. The first and the usual thing to do is to eliminate fellow spirits, then absorb their power to become their own. If doing that is actually very complicated and long"

"To go up 1 level of numbers alone would need to eliminate about 50 lower level spirits, or about 35 middle level spirits, or 20 upper level spirits, or 10 master level spirits. As long as I am a spirit, I will not eliminate up to 20 spirits. Even 10 did not arrive. And the spirit that I've been eliminating is also only the lower level of disobedience"

"Ah, Izumi could have massacred her own subordinates to take away their power. Izumi wanted to say, she did not eliminate the spirits just to take away her power and eliminate them if they did something wrong to her. Izumi was a good leader" I thought

"So what you're doing to raise the tiers is the second way?"

"Yes. The second way is simpler and does not take long than the first way, but the risk can be up to 20 times higher. The trick is, fight and kill monsters that are on the border of life and death and then absorb their power"

"If it could kill 1 monster, it would be equivalent to obliterating 5 lower-tier spirits. That is to say that to rise to 1 level it is necessary to kill 10 monsters, just like obliterating a master level spirit. However because of this monster, its strength even exceeded the master level"

"Then, the higher the level of the spirit, the harder it is to go up. I even killed 25 new monsters can go up 1 level of numbers"

"You fought with that many monsters last night?!" Ask me to worry

"Yes"

"Indeed the risk is great against monsters, but I think the benefits given are also great. In addition to increasing the level, what is obtained if killing monsters is actually greater than the level"

"I mean, even though I am at green-3 level, but my true strength can even surpass blue-1. This is quite beneficial because being a spirit it is better to be strong yet inconspicuous"

"In addition, the monster's blood also flowed strength. If you drink it, then the body of the spirit becomes gallant and not easily tired. The healing process is also faster than usual. That's why I prefer to hunt monsters over spirits"

"So last night you hunted at least 125 monsters and drank their blood?!" I'm surprised, too

"I actually killed 147 monsters, and it was a lot of fun. Their blood was also good so I took it and gave it to Kagusa, Kei, and the others. They were also very happy when I gave them" Izumi said cheerfully

"Please don't say such a creepy thing with a cheerful face!!" Shouted

"What's? You're mad I didn't give you? Want me to give you too? The blood's gone, but I still have their heart, you want?" Izumi asked along with a red blob on Izumi's left hand.

"Tomorrow..."

I almost vomited because of Izumi's offer.

"No, don't want to... Get rid of that disgusting thing..." My mutter with one hand covered my mouth and turned my face away from Izumi

"Just kidding, hahaha"

"If you want to joke, look at the situation too, dong! I could've vomited because of you!" Shouted

After the situation calmed down again, we resumed our talks.

"So, what is it that you suddenly asked about my activities yesterday?" Ask Izumi

"Yesterday afternoon, at about 6 and a half, I opened your book and then there was blood on the last page to the inside back cover"

"Then I called you last night, you didn't show up so I was worried. And as soon as I woke up, I saw your skin turn pale and your expression was like pain, so I checked if you had any wounds on your body" I explained

"Oh, it turns out you're really worried about me, yeah. I'm so happy~"

"I did it just for self-protection. So don't be too happy" I said and turned my face away from her

"Well, the blood in the book doesn't need to be concerned, because I wasn't hurt yesterday afternoon either. Then about you calling me that, I didn't hear because I was too focused on fighting"

"But you're really okay, right? You see it's 147 lhooo monsters!!"

"As you can see, there's absolutely no problem with me. You've also checked it, kan~ Well, even though you still haven't seen my body~"

"He deliberately brought up the incident to make me ashamed. He's really cheating" I thought annoyed with flushed cheeks
