127 The New but Old Kid (1/2)

The hallways are bustling with students as always. The feelings that I felt when I stepped on the school faded at once as soon as I entered the place. The people who caused me to abandon the school are no longer here and the principal who disregarded my complaints is no longer in service since the new principal is a woman as what Rena said earlier.

Although the feelings of the bullying never fade that fast, it's not something that would stay forever. Recovering from the bullying is something I was able to do in just a very easy way which is by shutting myself from the outside but I just can't escape from it which caused me to just forget everything. After scaling the crowd of students, I managed to arrive in front of the principal's office. I was just about to touch the doorknob when I heard the voice of the principal talking on the other side of the door.

”Come in, Kazuma.”

Wait... that voice sounds familiar I guess? I don't know where I heard of that voice though but I am certain that I heard this voice before. Opening the door, I immediately saw the principal to be someone I know, or more exactly, I met last time.

”Surprised to see me here?” the principal smiled.

The principal who took the position is none other than Asuza Hebisu, the Snake Councilor. The good thing is that she is not wearing a sultry outfit like when the last time I met her at the meeting. She is wearing the clothes most female principals do. It was even a good thing she isn't showing her cleavage anymore which might cause a few men to spurt out blood from their noses.

”Don't worry, I did not activate my hormone magic at all. I don't plan to flirt here alright, I came here to aid on the mission because it's more troublesome than I thought.”

Hmmm, I see. So that was part of her magic, no wonder I almost can't resist her charm. It looks like she is able to do some serious business too and not just flirting all the way.

”That would make things easier, Rena wanted me to hand this letter to you. She said that you will know what to do once you read it.”

”Oh, is it? Did you read it?”

”I am only responsible for delivering the letter. It's not my cue to read it without the permission of the receiver.”

”Wow, professional. I would like to have you as my delivery man next time then. Of course, there are rewards,” and she bit her lips in a flirty way.

”Uh... I am okay without the rewards...”

Asuza cast a disappointed look but she quickly recovered.

”Anyway, we should get you assigned to a classroom then. According to the letter, you were a former student in this school before you dropped out, correct?”

”Indeed. Everything is true.”

”Do you want to be assigned again to the people you were familiar with in the past then?”

I paused for a moment and think for a while. Although I already have forgotten all of the pain from the bullying after I became a magician, the trauma is still not something easily forgotten and cured. I don't think everything will be fine even if I have let all bygones be bygones. There was a certain possibility of my life getting ruined by them again. Therefore, I made a decision.

”Yes, put me with them again. I have some score to settle with them.”

Asuza turned serious hearing this. ”Kazuma. I am sure that you know what Lex Talionis is?”
