"You are the one responsible for my mother being healed. I am thanking you for teaching my sister." Peter said with his head still bowed before Haru grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him upright. He didn't feel comfortable accepting a bow for sothing like that.
It wasn't a big deal for him at the ti, and it was even less of a big deal to him now. It was all in the past now, and he was determined to move forward one step at a ti.
"It's fine. There's no need to thank ." Haru said with a sigh before looking up at a long road in front of them as they stood on the bridge.
"So your school is at the end of this road?" Haru asked and then carried on walking. It took a few monts for Peter to co back to his senses, but as soon as he saw Haru continuing to walk, he imdiately ran to catch up to him.
"Yeah, I didn't get accepted into the sa school as my sister because my grades were bad. But this is the second-best school in the whole country, so many strong people co here to learn magic. Even the magic maestro Finnegan ca here when he was younger." Peter boasted as he walked by Haru's side towards the school.
"The magic what now?" Haru couldn't be bothered to repeat what Peter had just said, but he had never heard of such a thing in his life.
"You don't know the magic maestro? He is the current head of state. I thought that everyone knew who he was, but I guess not." Peter sounded a little disappointed that Haru didn't know what he ant. But he had only been back in Japan for a couple of weeks. And he didn't know anything about politics, so it was only natural that he didn't understand.
"Oh, okay, I see. Well, that's nice but where should I go when I get to your school? Do you have a receptionist or sothing so I can get a eting with your Principal?" Haru changed the subject. He didn't want to talk about politics and embarrass himself with his lack of knowledge, so he decided to get back to the matter at hand.
"Yeah, The receptionist's office is right at the front entrance. I will show you when we get there." Peter smiled as they both continued to walk.
There were strange looks from the students as Peter walked by Haru's side, who quite clearly wasn't a student. They were probably wondering who he was and why he was going to their school and what intentions he had. But since it wasn't any of their business, so none of them decided to ask to satisfy their curiosity and just watched as Haru walked past the school gates.
"Excuse , sir, If you're not a student, then I can't let you past." A security guard ca running out from a booth positioned next to the gate and exclaid as he saw Haru.
Haru looked down to see a short skinny old man who looked like he should be well into his retirent by now and decided to stop in his tracks and let the man do his job without causing any trouble.
"I am here to talk to the Principal. Is there another entrance that I should take?" Haru asked while looking down upon the old man.
"Oh, You're here for a eting? I thought that you were up to no good. I was about to call the police if you decided to ignore , so I'm glad you stopped.
You probably should have taken the visitors entrance, but I can take you to the receptionist if you want to." The old man offered with a smile.
"Sure, that would be great," Haru replied and then looked back at Peter, who was standing with a confused look on his face.
"Wasn't I supposed to be taking you to the receptionist, though?" Peter asked, sounding sad that his opportunity to get on Haru's good side had been taken away from him.
"That's not too important. You should focus on your studies and try to get to class on ti. If Mia knew that I was making you skip class. Well, she wouldn't do anything. She would just be upset." Haru said, knowing full well that even if she had gotten stronger over the years, she would still be no match for him.
"But-" Peter said in protest, but before he could finish whatever he had to say, Haru cut him off.
"No buts, Get to class already. I don't want to be the one responsible for you failing a grade." Haru smiled and then began to follow the old security guard, leaving Peter standing in the yard on his own.
Haru walked through the school corridors as he followed the old man before arriving at a room filled with many chairs with a single desk at the front of it where a woman was sitting with a laptop.
"We have a visitor for the principal." The security guard announced as he stood by the door and let Haru enter the room. The woman looked up from her desk at Haru as the security guard imdiately retreated from the doorway to get back to his post at the school gate.
"You're looking for the Principal? Do you mind if I ask you what is it that you are here to see him about?" The woman asked with a sad smile as Haru approached the desk.
"Sure, I had a group of students from your school co into the cafe I am working at this morning and break the windows using magic," Haru said and then waited for a reply, but the woman frowned before looking up.
"And you want to talk to the Principal about this? Good luck." She chuckled before picking up the phone sitting on her desk and raising it to her ear.
"You have a visitor. Yeah, okay." The woman said as whoever she called replied to her before putting the phone back down and looking up at Haru.
"He told to tell you to "Piss off" I'm sorry, but it seems that he is in a bad mood. You should probably co back another day." The woman said with an indifferent look on her face and wondered what Haru would do next.
"Is that so?" Haru asked and took a look around the room, spotting a door on the other side of the desk marked with a golden badge with the word Principal written across it.
"Yeah, I'm afraid so." The receptionist replied and then cast her gaze down, expecting him to leave without another word.
"So, is he in his office right now?" Haru asked the woman to see that she looked up with a surprised expression.
"Um, yeah, what of it?" She asked, confused, but as soon as she replied, Haru took the initiative and decided to open the door to his office and step inside.
"Sir, stop. He doesn't like to be disturbed." She shouted as she saw Haru open the door and then rushed from her desk to stop him. But it was already too late.
The door to the Principal's office swung open to reveal a small chubby man wearing a black suit, sitting behind a desk watching sothing on the TV and eating a sandwich.
"What is the aning of this!? How dare you co into my office unannounced!" The man shouted as he saw Haru standing in the doorway.
"Well, I'm announcing myself right now. If you don't want to listen to , then I will take it up with the board of directors and see what they have to say about it." Haru said as he stood looking down at the man who was lazily doing his job.
"You little shit! Who are you to co into my office and speak to like that?" The man asked as Haru made his way over to the desk and sat down in one of the chairs opposite to him. The Principal stood up from his chair suddenly and then raised his hand in the air.
A blue ball of light began to swirl around his hand as water droplets ford out of nowhere to form a mass of water the size of a lon in his hands.
"I will give you one warning to get out of my office, or else I will-" The Principal began to say in a threatening tone as Haru looked up at him from his chair.
He then crossed one of his legs over the other and reclined slightly in the chair to show that he wasn't going anywhere while simultaneously absorbing the traces of Qi hidden within the mana of his attack.
The ball of water in the principals hands suddenly fell and splashed all over his clothes and the desk before travelling over to Haru and then stopping in the air as ice crystals began to form over the wet surfaces.
The Principal stopped in his tracks as he looked down to see that his clothes had beco rigid and he could no longer move. He was confused about how his magic had backfired and was now at the rcy of the young man he just tried to attack.
"I ca here to report one of your students for committing a cri and damaging my father's property, yet you threaten and then try to attack . Now I'm a little bit pissed off, so I'm going to hurt you a little before we move onto business." Haru said with a smile before turning his head to see the receptionist still standing in the doorway and looking in.
"Don't tell anyone, okay?" Haru raised a finger to his mouth and then used so of his Qi to close the door so she could no longer look into the room.
"Now, this is going to be fun," Haru said with a smil
