Chapter 6 - Chapter 4: Rei Nishimura (4)

4 hours ago…

A strawberry blonde female was walking around the school campus when she saw a crowd forming from what seemed to be watching over a ruckus that was happening. "School fight…" the blonde thought to herself before walking over to see what was happening.

A jet-black hair male fighting three individual with their prowess active. "If those three started the fight, then they are doing a bad job." She watched the fight or one sided assault since the one who was supposed to be jumped by the trio was manhandling them with no troubles.

What she noticed the most were the prowess, the trio had basic abilities such as strength augmentation, speed enhancement and lastly, a lightning element. On the other side, the black haired male possessed three similar prowess from the trio although she could see the difference such as the power, speed and output.

"Strange… A mimicry?" She thought to herself before some of the staff had arrived to stop the fight where she could see how it was almost biased due to the gossip from the crowd.

"He's such a brutal guy…"

"So violent… Is this guy really planning to be a sorcerer?"

The one who mentioned the sorcerer part made her intrigued, after all, not everyone is willing to put their lives on the line despite having a powerful prowess or one who possessed a suitable ability in the field of sorcery.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" An old man called out to her which made everyone immediately go back to class, preferably not wanting to be scolded for staying around since the next class is about to start. "You're not even wearing the school uniform. I haven't seen you around here before…"

The blonde sighed, wondering if the elderly was this stupid or just age catching up to him. She was about to respond when the old hag continued its relentless nagging. The female had enough before turning around to show herself completely to him who looked surprised to see the outfit she was wearing.

"My apologies. I should've known better." The old hag shamelessly apologised after recognising the black trench coat and the katana attached on the left side of her hips. "Is there anything you need at our dear school?" She nodded her head, "A meeting with the principal. I believe that I need to ask him some questions regarding a case that I'm investigating."

The old man nodded his head before guiding her to the principal's office. On her way, she could feel the power emitting from the black hair male who just came out from the room, probably the principal's office. "Time passed by so quickly when distracted…" she thought to herself while observing the male who passed by until she felt a malevolent aura around him.

The elderly staff noticed her gaze towards the black haired male, "Don't bother yourself with that deranged one." they said which made her curious about their statement before they continued. "Always causing trouble even until now… it's like that brat doesn't know when to stop being violent and brutal… He's so immature despite being an eighteen year old!"

The strawberry blonde raised an eyebrow before pushing those distractions aside after she reached the principal's office as she closed the door behind her. "And you are?" The principal asked before the female reached out the inside of her coat to pull out her wallet and showed her card.

"Eunji Jeong. Special Class Sorcerer of Kamigami Academy." She introduced herself before the principal nodded their head as they let her continue. "I'm going to ask you a couple of questions. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of Eternum when found obstructing the law. Understood?" She said which the principal had no choice but to comply as they began their meeting.

....

Eunji sighed as she left the school campus all disappointed due to not being able to advance on her investigation. She was taking a walk for a bit to put her mind at ease or maybe just scout for a while to see if there's anything that she can do until she heard a ruckus not far away from her ever since she had left Sir Ellis Kadoorie High School.

"Oh, it's that guy…" she said to herself upon arriving at the scene as she watched from far away, observing how the magenta female easily defeated the two individuals who she had seen from the campus except for the other guy. "They decided to gang up on the two yet get their ass kick almost instantly."

As the fight ended, Eunji decided to intervene since she had questions for the male due to the aura that she had felt when they crossed paths earlier at the campus. She could see the two individuals shaking in fear as if they had been caught for doing something wrong. "I'm not here to detain any of you. I'm here to ask questions although I'll have to deal with those troublemakers first." Eunji stated while the other two nodded their heads in agreement.

It was gonna be a while for her to discuss things with them since she had to focus on cleaning up the situation when the rest were a total knockout. "Looks like I'll be busy…" she mumbles to herself before she commands the two to help her out.

Her eyes still hazing over the black haired male, she knew that the guy had a connection to the case that she was investigating but all she could do for now was to observe. Eunji had a lot of things to know but the last thing that she asked for from the principal was the male who had just left the office. Rei Nishimura, a student who's known for their violent behavior and irregular mental health status which almost brought the school down to its reputation if it weren't for the connections to save them.

Eunji had a piece of things that she could start with the investigation after talking with them, otherwise, she had a lot of things to do for now…

Rei was having a dilemma of his life whether this was the end of his line. It wasn't life threatening but was something that would set him off to failure since he had barely done anything worth in his life.

Other than being always involved in a fight, he had always done things wrong and chose the worse options when it comes to decisions that would put a big impact in his life.

One of his biggest was being a late bloomer that he couldn't change no matter what since he was born from a 'blank' father and an awakened mother. His prowess is destined to awaken at such a later time which became like a curse due to making the wrong choice of every decision that he had to choose.

His middle school era was the prime example, while he didn't talk about it nor mentioned it to Sylvie; his records had stated for his behaviour to be extremely violent and act like a tyrant due to his mental mindset being completely different despite being a high-tier compared to the same level as him.

Rei had hated high-tiers or people in general due to the society of having a powerful prowess nor the general hierarchy system that had suppressed him and broke him. If it weren't for the therapy he attended after the awful incident in Sir Ellis Kadoorie High, then he would've been more in the slumps than before.

....

Rei sighed as he followed the sorceress while taking care of Sylvie who was still shocked and panicking which he understood as he himself is panicking internally despite how calm and composed he appeared.

"I hope there's nothing much for us to be in trouble…" Rei thought to himself before sitting down on the seat, waiting for whatever the sorceress had to discuss with them.
