Ghost School

The Risen Power

It was also afternoon. The sky turned orange and the sun was about to sink.

Now I'm walking back home after going to the supermarket. During that trip, I remembered Maeru's words this afternoon.

"Family photos? So that means Izumi and Maeru are family?" Thought

I shook my head, getting rid of unnecessary thoughts.

"Aah, no, no, no!! I can't believe what he said!!" Thought I screamed

"I can't draw any conclusions. And I can't ask Izumi now either"

"So I just have to wait for the right time to ask her. If it was time, Izumi would also definitely tell me herself"

"But before that, I had to try to keep this from happening again" I thought

*

The next day, after school....

"I'm going to practice with Yui!" My words are firm

"What?!"

Izumi, Yui, Kagusa and Kei looked shocked at my words.

"Nooo, Ririiiiiinn!! That can't be!!!" Yui Shouted

"Yes!! That's absolutely not possible!" Connect Izumi

"What's wrong with miss?!" Kei asked worriedly

"Yurin, I know that Izumi is not a good man, who cannot look after women. But that doesn't mean you have to force yourself like that!" Shouted Kagusa

"Whataaaaa??! So this is because of you, Izumi?!" Yui Shouted

"I didn't do anything!! Why blame me?!" Shouted Izumi

"Because you didn't do anything, Ririn has no protection. Nevermind! I'll protect her myself!" Yui Shouted

"'Don't do anything' I mean it, I didn't do anything wrong!! I've also installed a protector if there is a spirit attacking him" cried Izumi

"Well!! It could be that your ancient protector cannot withstand the attack of a powerful enemy!" Yui Shouted

"If my protector, who is this leader, cannot withstand the enemy's attack, how about you who are 1000 times weaker than me?" Izumi shouted, not to lose

"Huhuh??! You're fighting?!"

"That's enough!" My yelling. They were finally able to shut up and listen to my explanation.

I took a deep breath, then continued my words.

"Nobody's wrong. I just thought, it seems like it is really good that I learned something about spirit power. Since I'm like this too, there might be spirits who want to threaten me, right?" My speech

"Just like yesterday" I thought

"No. Ririn from the beginning was only a normal human being. It won't be the same as me who since childhood has indeed gotten used to spirits" Yui said

"If anyone wants to hurt you, there is me who will protect you" Izumi said

"No... I can't keep depending on you guys. At least, I want to be able to protect myself in a desperate situation" I said

The four of them were silent while staring at each other.

"Yeah..." Izumi let out a long breath

"Alright, you can practice" Izumi said

The three of them were shocked by Izumi's words.

"Izumi!! You are useless trash!!!" Yui Shouted

"Master, that's dangerous! If miss gets hurt during practice, sir will get hurt too!" Shouted Kei

"Yurin is a normal human being!! Maybe he doesn't have the power of the sixth sense" Kagusa said

"You shut up!" Shouted Izumi and instantly the state of silence.

"I am not a weak spirit! Just a little scratch doesn't affect me! And also, I won't let Yurin get hurt!" Shouted Izumi

"Then about the strength of his sixth sense, we will know after testing it" Izumi continued

In the middle of the forest....

Now I was standing facing a large rock with strange symbols. Then the four of them stood behind me

"Yes.... So now what do I have to do?" I asked while glancing backwards

"You just need to put both my hands on the stone in front of you. Think that you really want to be able to master the power of the sixth sense" Izumi said

"The point is, I have to think of something that will awaken the power of the sixth sense, right" I thought

I closed my eyes and focused on my subconscious mind.

"I used to be a normal human being, but ever since I went to high school, I've never been normal again. Now I have a sixth sense and can communicate with all of them thanks to my bond with Izumi. I'm so grateful"

"But even so, my current existence is only an obstacle for Izumi. I can be a threat to him when I can't do anything. So then.... Because that's...."

The wind was slowly blowing and tightening up to shake my reddish-brown hair. Slowly, the symbol on the stone shone.

"please rise! If there is any power in my body, please get up and help me! I don't want to continue being a hindrance to Izumi! I also want to protect her like she has been protecting me all this time!!"

I remembered the times where I kidnapped Maeru before. And because of me, Izumi got hurt.

"I don't want Izumi to get hurt because of me anymore. I want to be able to be of help to Izumi even a little bit. I want to stay with Izumi. So please...."

"Rise!!"

Wuuuushh....

There was a very strong wind from the stone until the trees were swaying and leaves were flying everywhere.

I turned to face the four of them. They were surprised to see me.

"R.... Rin's...." Yui muttered

I saw both palms of my hands. And I was shocked to see a blue aura enveloping all over me and slowly disappearing.

"It... Is this his power?" I asked while looking at my whole body

Izumi looked surprised to see me. His pupils narrowed and his mouth slightly opened in astonishment. Izumi smiled after.

"alright. It's been decided Yurin will come to practice" Izumi said

"Iwazu...." Yui muttered

"What's? What are you going to protest again? It's obvious Yurin also has talent" Izumi said as she glanced at Yui's annoyance

"This time, I'll teach him myself. You two do your duties back, and also do my duties as long as I train them" Izumi said

"Okay, sir" Kei said

"Well, if that's what the leader wants"

"Now come back" Izumi ordered, and they both disappeared from the forest.

Izumi turned to face Yui and me.

"Alright, because of you two, so I teach you in turn. First, I will teach Ayui first, then Yurin" Izumi said

"You're not gonna teach me anything, are you?" Yui asked suspiciously

Izumi stared intently at Yui then scowled.

"How did you know?" Ask Izumi

"No, kaaan!! I thought you weren't serious!!" Yui yelled annoyed as she wagged her hand that pierced through Izumi's body

"Just kidding" Izumi said with a soft laugh

"You can joke around with that serious face!! You're creepy, Izumi" cried Yui

"Yurin used to say that to me"

"That's not a compliment!!" Yui shouted annoyed

"I know"

"Gee! I really want to hit you!"

"Haha, unfortunately I can't"

"Then, how about we start training?" Ask Izumi

"Oh!!"

"...."

I just saw their interaction. The two of them had only communicated with each other 2 days ago, but now it was so close that they could joke around and have a little fight.

"Izumi seems to have been a jolly child from the beginning. I used to be like Yui. I didn't like him at first, but after we started the first communication, we were able to get close. When he came to my house as well, he could be directly close to Hana and Niki, even though their quarrel was not a small quarrel...." Thought

"This is a good thing. Finally my two best friends were also friends and close. But...."

"Why.... Does it feel like somewhere in my heart it hurts?" Thought

I immediately shook my head.

"Can't!! How could I be sad to see my friend close?" Thought

"It's okay, this feeling will go away on its own later. Now I have to focus on training" I thought.
