154 Awakening of Mirai (1/2)
”Hey, have you heard about that guy named Kazuma? He is much scarier than those delinquents!”
”I didn't know about it since I was absent but did he literally defeat a whole bunch of them? What did the teachers do to stop the fight?”
”No one did! Actually, it was already weird why there are no teachers and guards to stop the event but even so, that Kazuma ended up defeating even an underground fighter!”
”Scary...”
”Still, you shouldn't say it outside the school and let it remain as a legend in this school because I heard that if someone tried to release it outside, you will befall a very bad luck. I heard that when someone tried to, they were sent to the hospital after they sprained their ankles or they almost got hit by a car. I don't know why but it's a taboo to say outside.”
”Damn, did this Kazuma had some sort of connection to someone that can use witchcraft?”
”Shh... he is here. Don't talk about that with him here. It will be much more dangerous if he heard you saying that, let's go.”
...
Obviously, I heard them talking about me already a few meters away but I didn't mind it. It is a good thing for me though because they know now that I am not someone to be messed with. The only thing I am worried about is this punishment that they are talking about. This punishment seems to occur only whenever they tell it outside the school. Does this mean it is now a curse or something? But I am not really sure what this was.
Still, these rumors are still spreading around like wildfire and my reputation is getting notorious. In class, except for Erina who still keeps on getting in touch with me, no one else wanted to even talk to me.
...
When class was over, I decided to take a bit of checking around the place for any kind of disturbance but nothing is happening. While doing some surveying, I suddenly receive a call from Moonlight via the chat group's call method.
”Hello?”
”Kazuma, the soul of the girl that you brought here last time is already awake. She is looking for you.”
”Mirai is awake? Did she have some sort of difficulties on her soul or something?”
”Raigaki is still checking on her. I have no idea about what she was feeling right now though since I haven't had the chance to ask her. They are still inside the room with Rena restraining Raigaki at the moment but if they have something that they can find out, then I will inform you on- wait, the two of them are out. I will pass the call to them then,” Moonlight said.
”Okay.”
The phone seems to shake a bit on the other line before I heard Rena in the other line.
”Hello, Kazuma? I am going to be the one doing the talking because Raigaki is (Not well) at the moment. Can you go to the Shibuya Underground Mall? There are some things that we needed to get at the moment for Mirai's recovery. Can you do that?”
”I am free at the moment so tell me what are those things.”
”You don't need to pay for these items okay? I already paid for it and you just need to pick them up. Go to a stall named Kinshiand pick up the red incense and Talisman of Afterlife I ordered there. Just show your fireball magic to the store owner and he will know it that you are a magician.”
”Wait, that sounds like I am extorting someone by doing that.”
”No worries, you can do it without any problem.”
”Oh, okay then. But is Mirai okay now?”
