Chapter 90. Jinji High School

Chapter 90: Chapter 90. Jinji High School

Beichuan Si arranged for Nishijou Kurenai to be present because he had several tasks he wanted to instruct her to do.

The first was to ask Nishijou Kurenai to look after Beichuan Hui Li more attentively.

After all, Nishijou Kurenai was his sister, and so was Beichuan Hui Li; it was only right for the two to support each other. Moreover, Nishijou Kurenai’s perception of supernatural entities was very strong, the kind related to ’spirits.’ If Beichuan Hui Li really flirted with disaster and got contaminated with malice, Nishijou Kurenai should be able to detect it immediately.

The second matter concerned the topic of where Nishijou Kurenai should usually stay.

After all, Beichuan Si’s life was different from before. Before he left Tokyo for Yashan City, he had carried the title ’Kyubei’s Biggest Delinquent,’ and things in school were definitely not the same as before. Plus, Nishijou Kurenai sometimes behaved unpredictably, and a simple action could reveal her presence to others at school. Therefore, with regard to the matter of taking her to a school crowded with students, Beichuan Si truly had no expectations.

Hence, Beichuan Si planned to have Nishijou Kurenai stay at home temporarily and take her out for some fresh air on normal holidays and rest days.

Thankfully, Nishijou Kurenai was rather obedient, and suddenly moving into the Beichuan Family home, the youngster seemed very curious about the new environment. She did not protest and nodded obediently.

If only Beichuan Hui Li could be half as obedient as Nishijou Kurenai.

"Shinkai, don’t force Kurenai to do things she doesn’t want to do," Beichuan Si warned Shen Gu Mirai, who was once again getting restless.

After leaving this admonition, Beichuan Si also went upstairs to grab some fresh clothes, intending to take a bath and then rest directly.

On the way, he stopped by the living room to observe and found Shen Gu Mirai happily cajoling Nishijou Kurenai with a big sister tone, while the little one, who had forgotten the pain after the injury healed, seemed to enjoy it. Beichuan Si just shook his head and decided not to interfere with these two any longer.

These days, even ghosts were feared to be abducted by people.

...

The following day, after breakfast and a workout, Beichuan Si walked to Kyubei High School with Shen Gu Mirai.

The remnant chill of winter had long since passed, and Beichuan Si had left his scarf and gloves at home, feeling much more relaxed.

In fact, his physique didn’t need those things, and if he still wore a scarf, it was only to tuck Nishijou Kurenai into it.

By his side, Shen Gu Mirai stepped in brown school shoes and carried a leather bag.

She also didn’t bring a scarf today, her cute face exposed to the air, intermittently exhaling weak puffs of white breath, emitting the charm of a peony beauty.

Freshman Shen Gu Mirai, quite popular, and the leader of Kyubei’s biggest delinquents.

The sight was an attraction in itself.

The last time the delinquents bowed their heads, Shen Gu Mirai was also with Beichuan Si, which led some students to speculate whether Shen Gu Mirai was Beichuan Si’s girlfriend.

But Beichuan Si’s face remained expressionless throughout, neither joyous nor sad.

That gaze, as cold as a blade, made the students shudder, and the conversation shifted from ’Is Shen Gu Mirai Beichuan Si’s girlfriend?’ to ’Is Shen Gu Mirai being coerced by Beichuan Si?’

Watching those people starting to spread rumors again, Shen Gu Mirai’s expression changed, and she quickly stepped closer to Beichuan Si:

"Mr. Temple, they..."

She certainly didn’t want others’ opinions to lower Beichuan Si’s impression of her.

"This has nothing to do with you," replied Beichuan Si, obviously not about to be angry with Shen Gu Mirai over such a trifling matter.

Others’ opinions were of little consequence to him.

After exchanging a few more words with Shen Gu Mirai, Beichuan Si continued directly toward his classroom.

But—

Beichuan Si frowned slightly at the sight of three people standing in front of the classroom door.

Tall Changgu Makoto, average height Seki Naoya, and Ikegami Keito.

However, compared to Beichuan Si’s impatience, Changgu Makoto, Seki Naoya, and the others showed a hint of joy. They scuttled from the front entrance of the classroom to the back; just as they found their footing—

Beichuan Si lifted his hand and hit him on the head.

"Why, why did you hit us, Brother Beichuan..." The pain from the hit to the head was so grievous that Changgu Makoto was about to cry.

Ever since he started following Beichuan Si, he hadn’t gained any benefits; instead, he had been beaten up two or three times.

"Don’t block the classroom door so early in the morning," Beichuan Si turned his face to the side and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Brother Beichuan, you should know about Jinji High School, right?" Changgu Makoto hesitated before asking.

Jinji High School?

He had only heard that it was reputed to be a particularly bad school.

Seki Naoya said fiercely:

"Brother Beichuan! We really can’t swallow this insult! Those bastards from Jinji High School keep provoking us at Kyubei, saying you should go pay respects to their boss and ’learn our manners’, claiming high school students these days have lost all sense of propriety and have even forgotten about paying respects."

"That’s right! They’re high school students too! It makes no sense for them to lord over us!" Ikegami Keito was also full of resentment.

But they quickly deflated.

After all, how could the few delinquents at Kyubei High School compare with Jinji High School, which was infamous for being a delinquent school?

Kyubei High School had three to four hundred students per grade, and it was already a stretch for one-fifteenth of them to be delinquents, whereas at Jinji High School with its roughly four hundred students per grade, a quarter of the students were delinquents.

This was an extremely frightening ratio.

Just imagine, a class where a quarter of the students aren’t focused on studying, and are instead fighting and bullying every day—it’s complete chaos.

This also resulted in the delinquent students in this area traditionally looking up to Jinji High School as their leader.

There was no helping it; even if there were tough students in other schools, they couldn’t possibly overcome the sheer numbers from Jinji.

And Kyubei High was always known for its strict school ethos; the delinquents were basically poking around with toothpicks.

After listening to the grievances of Ikegami Sesaki and the other two, Beichuan Si understood:

"You want me to go fight?"

"Yes! With Brother Beichuan stepping in, what could those guys from Jinji possibly amount to?!"

Beichuan Si’s terrifying combat prowess was well known to everyone present; with just a kick or a punch, he could knock over more than a dozen of them. If he were to help, no matter how many came from Jinji High School, it would just be like sprinkling water.

"I refuse," Beichuan Si said, flatly rejecting the idea.

To him, going to fight such a meaningless battle was nothing more than a waste of time.

"Eh?!" Hearing Beichuan Si’s response, Changgu Makoto’s face turned bitter:

"Are we really going to let those people from Jinji High School trample all over us?"

It wasn’t that exaggerated.

Even if they didn’t get involved in this fight, it wasn’t so easy for the students of Kyubei High School and Jinji High School to run into each other, as the usual hangouts of Kyubei High and the delinquent spots of Jinji High were basically diagonal opposites.

Wait a minute—

Jinji High School?

Listening to the three’s continuous chatter, Beichuan Si suddenly seemed to recall something, and pulled up a memo on his phone, reviewing the names and schools provided by Tsukishima Risa yesterday.

Among the four companions, there was one named Nakamura Ken enrolled in Jinji High School.

This really was quite the coincidence.

A glint appeared in Beichuan Si’s eyes.
