WE: WRITE

My head was throbbing, I rubbed my head with a wince, it was quite a hard impact, After that scream, I looked vertically ahead and there was a woman in a teacher's uniform sitting down, looking like she was wincing in pain.

"You, that naughty student!!" The female teacher shouted loudly, snapping at us who were still frozen by this situation.

The teacher then got up from her position, she cleaned some of her dirty skirt and clothes, with grumbling and babbling continuing to come out of her mouth.

"Sorry ma'am, I didn't see you earlier."

She glanced at me, hearing my words of apology, she sighed, somehow feeling softened by this situation, her shoulders slumped quietly, once again she patted some of the dirty parts of his shirt, until she looked back and answered

"It's okay, don't do it again next time, if this happens again, I'll make sure you'll be called straight to the principal's office."

We nodded quickly, understanding every word she said, Likewise, she nodded, then tried to walk again, perhaps doing what she had intended to do from the start, until Jerry's voice and question stopped her in her tracks.

"Teacher... speaking of the principal's office, what happened to the principal? Is he okay?"

The teacher thought for a moment, her lips tightly closed, but after a moment a sigh was heard, and she answered in a voice that was barely audible, so faint and distant.

"You don't need to think about that, you're new students after all, right? Why do you care so much? Just look around you!"

We looked around, the happy faces were so permanently plastered, looking so happy, as if they were unaware that they were dancing in the midst of intense anxiety.

"Join them! No need to think about complicated things, there are still many things for younger people like you to do."

There was an unreadable expression, I had suspected it from the start, but this teacher, she looked really sad for some reason, even though at the beginning he was so bad at his acting. Her teeth were visible for a moment biting her lip, as if she was trying to hold back a great deal of worry.

"Teacher, are you hiding something?"

The teacher just widened her eyes, turning to Jerry who said that, i ruffled my hair feeling frustrated with Jerry quick actions, but the teacher gave a different expression, she lowered her head, her eyes looked grey, as if they contained an unreadable sadness

"You try to act selfish, you try to act like you hate the principal so much, even though it's clear on your face that you're the one who's feeling the most uneasy."

The teacher gritted her teeth, her eyes still staring down as if she had no intention of moving, her eyes began to glow with a blur, until tears fell from her eyes.

I held Jerry's shoulder quite tightly, he just turned his head with an almost blank face, as if he felt fine.

"You just used your power, right?"

Jerry nodded quickly, without pausing at all he then answered it as easily as possible. "Yes, I used my power."

I took a deep breath, patted my forehead lightly, then my eyes met his indifferent sapphire eyes, making my eyelids twitch.

"It was a bit dangerous you know, luckily no one saw it.

"Come on, don't complain, if your power gets bad, it will have a three-fold domino effect, right? And I don't want that to happen, so I'm ending it here, and besides, we can consider this a good thing for me."

I nodded quickly, giving in to her argument, then our eyes returned to the teacher who was still sobbing sitting there.

"Gosh, you're overreacting a bit you know, now what should we do with her?"

***

Now we are sitting on a long chair, the distinctive smell of the school grass is strongly felt, so calming, I look at the figure who is still a little pensive, mother The teacher stared straight ahead at the sight she was used to seeing, but this time there was something different.

"The principal is my parent."

Jerry and I turned together, seeing the figure boldly speaking about his secret, we stared at her, listening to her attentively.

"He is my father, but he is my stepfather."

"How is your relationship with your father?"

My question was like lifting a thick veil in his heart, she turned to me, her eyes slightly showing sadness and guilt.

"My father is a very busy person, very, very busy, since I was little I never got any attention from him."

"... My father, the person I admired so much, the only light I had, but I don't know when he changed, he no longer paid attention to me when I was 12 years old, I don't know what made him like that, his eyes are different, his cheerful face is gone, I lost him a long time ago."

The wind blew, as if carrying every word and heavy emotion, the fallen leaves swayed in the calming wind. The hot sun greeted us, the smell of grass was replaced by the faint smell of dry grass, Jerry and I were still sitting beside her, looking straight down, only the sound of the wind greeted us for a moment.

"Why do you think that? You know, I don't mean to say the things you think, but I think it's normal, your father works, even though it is wrong to let child go unnoticed, why does your reaction feel excessive?"

Jerry's statement stunned her, but she smiled and turned her head. "Maybe, I might have been a bit too much, Dad doesn't completely ignore me either, maybe you are right."

"But wait, why is your father suddenly not paying attention to you? How did that happen?"

My question made her forehead wrinkle, she thought for a moment, then after a pause, she answered.

"Apart from working as a principal, my father had another job, I never knew what it was, but I've seen him out in the middle of the night in a white coat, you know, like a doctor's coat."

"... Since he started the job, he slowly changed, he rarely spoke, he even rarely came home, always coming home with a very tired face, Every day there are definitely dark circles under his eyelids."

We kept hearing his words, every word that came out we understood in detail, and I still didn't understand the perpetrator's intention in poisoning the principal.

"Is that all?"

Hearing my question, she nodded quickly, I just took a deep breath, this information was too little to reveal, I turned my gaze to the billowing clouds amidst the scorching sun, then a murmuring sound began to be heard, as if she was remembering something.

"The only thing I remember clearly was that flashy suit, the rest I don't remember anything."

"Flashy? What does that suit look like?"

She put his index finger on his lower chin, thought for a moment, until she answers my question.

"I don't remember very clearly, but I could see like a big X behind him, maybe it looked something like that."

***

Every side of the cup I watch very carefully, The coffee was clearly still left over, and it was confirmed that it had not been touched by anyone other than the victim, there was a strange sediment around the coffee, the smell was also much more bitter, it was clearly poison, can be absolutely ascertained.

There is only one question that keeps spinning in my head, how did the perpetrator poison the victim?

First, the perpetrators damaged the security cameras, how did they do it? While the security cameras are placed at least 3 meters high, they could have done it, t but at least they need three or more people, and that's too conspicuous.

Second, how could perpetrator enter the principal's office which was always locked? According to Mrs. Claris' explanation, as her daughter, her father was the one who always guarded the privacy.

I just keep thinking, all those arguments and information keep going round and round.

"Damn! If only we had brought Fizen with us."

A complaint came out of Jerry's mouth, he seemed frustrated because he didn't find a single clue.

"Oh yeah, Jerry you have to remember, we've got good possibilities, you know what's coming next, right? So I think we have to get this over with quickly."

"Yes, your power is always beneficial, luckily we managed to manipulate Ms. Claris, so we got access to the principal's office."

Now that Jerry had finished checking every closet with no clues, he let out a heavy sigh, her body turned, and then right there I brought my face closer to hers, it surprised her to the point of almost screaming, I covered her mouth, muffled the sound.

"Do you feel it?"

My voice was so soft, like a whisper in the wind, I kept my voice as thin as possible, so that no one else could hear it except me and Jerry.

Jerry shook his head, feeling surprised and confused at the same time, then I glanced at the large cupboard, his eyes looked back at me, as if he knew what I meant.

I stepped closer to the large closet, trying not to make any sound at all, while beads of sweat began to fall from Jerry's temples.

"You think my senses are dull? Get out!"

My voice was low, filled with an almost unreadable calm, the large cupboard began to creak, as if something was feeling afraid inside.

I opened the door, and there, a small child with a shabby appearance was sitting in fear of me, his hair was dark silver, his eyes looked like he never slept at all, and more than that, his body was so small, his hand holding a strange bottle, but I knew it was poison.

"So? You're the one who poisoned the principal?"

His fear became more intense, like a blur at night, his body seemed to be pulled backwards, passing through the wall just like that, my hand tried to grab his, but it was too late, he just disappeared.

"Jerry, let's catch him!!!"

Our footsteps began to distance themselves, running to where he might appear, I didn't see it wrong, he could pass through walls, if that was true, then he was just on the side of the principal.

Our feet almost slipped as we stopped, but it was not as we expected, he disappeared, completely disappeared without a trace at all, as if nature had swallowed him alive.

Jerry stepped forward, aligning himself close to me.

"That person has power, if it's like this, there's only one person involved, that place, for sure."

I nodded hearing Jerry, then looked up at the sky that was starting to be colored with a tinge of orange, today really felt heavy.

***

"Damn it!!!!! I told you not to forget anything you bastard! Where's your bag? Where are the things you borrowed from me??!!!! You didn't even bring your lunch box home!!!!

All these objects flew towards me, it didn't matter if they were light or heavy objects, Ariz's emotions were fluctuating very violently, this is what it looks like when his very angry.

"Ouch!! Ouch!! Ouch!! Brother this hurts! I'm so sorry!!!

Well.. I guess this is another bad possibility.
