Ghost School

Kei, the Faithful Evil Spirit

"What happened to Izumi?" Ask Kagusa

I was silent for a moment.

"That's... We accidentally met a-"

"Ah, forget. I'll ask myself to Izumi" said Kagusa suddenly

"Eh?"

Kagusa immediately stood up and walked away from me.

"Where are you going?" Much

"Meeting Izumi. He should have finished hunting the monster by now. He was also supposed to bring me something from hunting monsters, so I had to quickly retrieve it before it was taken by another spirit" Kagusa explained with a cheerful smile

I thought back to when Izumi thrust me a red blob, which she said was the heart of a monster before.

"Ugh..." My reflexes shut my mouth.

"Why?" Ask Kagusa

"No. I just remembered something disgusting..." Mumbles

"Ah, okay. Then I go first" said Kagusa and disappeared from my sight.

After Kagusa left I decided to take a short walk out.

1 Hour passed, I went back into the house and sat in my study chair. Both of my hands were propping up my chin and my eyes were staring blankly out the window.

A few minutes later...

Shuush...

I felt a spirit coming back to my room.

"Izumi?" I murmured and looked back, seeing the spirit that came.

"!!!"

I was also shocked by a spirit that looked foreign to me. I've never seen that spirit before.

The height of the spirit was as beautiful as Izumi's, wearing a school uniform that looked old-fashioned, pale-skinned, maroon-colored hair with slanted split bangs, and fiery red eyes.

The spirit kept looking at me in silence with a flat face. She felt a little similar to Izumi, as I felt depressed by her deep gaze.

"Spirit... Evil spirit!! And again he also feels a little creepy, so he must be a strong spirit, right?" Thought

"What should I do?? Calling Izumi and Kagusa?" I thought panicked and reflexes gripped the skirt I was wearing

Then the spirit approached me.

I immediately stood up and put the horses on standby.

"I can't fight him because he's a spirit"

"I who is an ordinary human don't have the power to injure spirits, so the best option is indeed to call out to Izumi. That way, he can do something with this spirit before me" I thought

When I just wanted to say Izumi's name, Izumi suddenly came alone and stood in front of me facing the evil spirit.

"Key. What are you doing here?" Izumi asked with a firm tone of voice

The evil spirit immediately knelt before Izumi and answered Izumi's question politely.

"I'm just looking at a man tied to a master. I don't mean to scare or hurt that man"

"You should ask permission from me first. She must have been surprised that you suddenly came"

"I'm sorry, sir"

Then the spirit stood up after being given a standing code by Izumi.

I'm speechless. The evil spirit was very obedient unlike the evil spirit I had previously encountered.

I slightly tilted my head to look at the evil spirit as Izumi covered my gaze.

Izumi immediately turned to look at me.

"Ah, you don't have to be afraid of him. He's my evil spirit's subordinate, Kei" Izumi said

(P.S: Kei's name once appeared briefly in Izumi and Kagusa's conversations on episode 50 : 'Accident', and in Izumi and Yurin's conversations on episode 65 : Spirit Rank)

"I'm sorry, lady, for surprising you. I am Kei, the subordinate of master Izumi" Kei said politely and slightly bowed his body before me.

"Pulse... Kei evil spirit?" I asked to make sure I got back

"Yes, I'm an evil spirit, miss" Kei replied politely.

"You can talk to me casually. I'm Yurin, you can call me by my name" I said

"Sorry, but that's.." Kei muttered doubtfully

"He is a loyal spirit to me. Of course he can't talk casually with you who's attached to me" Izumi said

"That's right, miss. For the next I will continue like this" he said

I was thinking too...

"If from the information that I have known until now, it means that the evil spirits in this school are divided into 2 camps, namely those who support Izumi as the leader, and those who oppose Izumi. Then Kei was one of the strongholds that supported Izumi..." Thought

"Izumi! You read my mind?" I'm surprised, too

"No. I'm just guessing what you're thinking right now" Izumi said

"Well, if you think about it from the beginning, Izumi does look like she can see everything in me. It's so unfair, when I don't know anything about him" I thought

"Don't think of me. That's no use. There's no point in you knowing the information of a dead human being and becoming a spirit"

"lik! You must be reading my mind, right? There's no way your guess is always right like this" I shouted

"While I am the most powerful spirit in my territory, I cannot do everything as I please with my strength. Like I said, I'm just guessing your thoughts" Izumi replied casually

"You're too suspicious to believe, Izumi"

"So you didn't believe me all this time?"

"..." - ".I fell silent

Then, due to being too focused on Izumi, I almost forgot that there was Kei here.

"Ah, since there is Kei here, so let's discuss the current situation of evil spirits" I said

We also sat on the carpet in a circular shape. Izumi and Kei explained it briefly.

"You can guess it, right. The evil spirits here are divided into 2 groups. The first dominant group is those who oppose me to be their leader, because I am still a good spirit. This group is led by Maeru, and they support Maeru to be the leader of the evil spirits in my place"

"Then in the second group, those who support me continue to be their leaders and do not mind my good spirits as long as I carry out my duties as the leader of evil spirits. And in this group led by Kei"

"So you could say, Kei is your right hand in the evil spirit, and Kagusa in the good spirit, then Maeru who had previously kidnapped me was your main enemy" I said

"really"

"Then what did you do to those 2 groups, Izumi?" Much

"For those who oppose me, of course I as the leader give them the punishment to show my firmness so that they do not take me lightly. And to those who support me, I let them be free and treat them as I do to good spirits"

"I will also reward them if they do something big for me and my territory"

I glanced at Kei

"By the way, are those high-level evil spirits really like you? I feel depressed when dealing with you guys like this" I muttered

"Miss felt depressed due to the pressure from the evil spirit power. When it comes to power, it is true that all top-tier evil spirits have great pressure" Kei replied

"I also feel you guys are a little similar in putting on an expression"

"It was just a coincidence, depending on the nature of each spirit. Evil spirits also do not all put on a stiff face, there are also those who like to show a cynical smile at all times" replied Rian

"If it's like that, it's better to be like Izumi and Kei who just put on a flat face than they smile sarcastically in front of me" I thought a little relieved

*

We kept telling stories and the direction of the stories became unimportant. Then Kei finally left because he had to guard the border area so that no intruders from other regions entered.

"By the way, Kei is at what level among spirits?" Much

"Master level 5, just like Kagusa. Those close to me are certainly strong and loyal spirits. Actually, compared to Kagusa, Kei is more loyal to me even though he's an evil spirit"

"Then for the strength of Kagusa and Kei himself actually already can for them to be leaders"

"If the two of them work together to attack me, it seems like they can defeat me" Izumi said

I'm speechless.

"Is there any other hidden intent in Izumi's speech?" Thought

I also remember the information I knew before.

"Although Izumi said they both deserve to be leaders, but still their current position is Master, and Izumi is Leader. So even if they work together against Izumi also will not be that easy because Izumi himself there is the power of 'crystal heart blue and red'." Thought

"But Izumi said they could beat Izumi. And if Izumi really lost to both of them, that means..."

"Izumi who deliberately succumbed to them"

"But, indeed Izumi is there any reason to give up on them?" Thought

Hi, author here. Not because 'School Ghost' is episode 71. Thank you for those of you who are still faithful to read the story "School Ghost" even though the author himself is still amateurish. Thank you for all your support. Because of you, the author so the spirit of continuing the story. (Although prior hiatus. Sorry, yes)

Okay, how's the story? Are you curious about this mysterious Izumi? But rather than this mysterious nature of Izumi... Have you ever thought about how Izumi is portrayed in Author's shadow?

Yep! The author will present the author's description for Arato Izumi's character.

Approximately like this portrayal of Izumi in the head of the author (in fact more handsome, but the author's drawing skills are still lacking, usually so). At least you have a visual depiction of Izumi from the author's point of view.

Handsome right?? Honestly, the author himself often blush if he is drawing or imagining Izumi, because Izumi himself author to really make in accordance with the taste of 2D author. Hehehehe

And by the way, sorry author can now update once every 5 days. The author's brain is sometimes frozen, can not think of stories, sometimes males nulis, or even busy making schoolwork. The author will try to update every 5 days at least 1 episode, thank you.

Okay, here's what the author wants to tell you. For the next author will try Yurin image (this is not certain but will be developed).

See you soon
