Chapter 18: A Trip to Arubi Begins

(Your POV)
"Finally, the exams are over!" Kaito stretches in his chair and pops his back. "Hey (Y/N), how did your-aaand you're dead."

It was one month after I resealed Kotori's power and Gonta finally got a girlfriend, and we were busy dealing with exams. Due to art being my only redeeming subject, I was forced to study the whole month. I was effectively burnt out, and I just wanted to rest. I had my head on my desk, and thanks to the amount of effort I put into studying, I could feel smoke coming from my ears and my eyes went white. Still, Kaede rubbing my back did return some of my vigor.

"I'm sure you did good (Y/N)." Kaede reassured like the angel she was. "Tohka, how are you holding up?"

"I'm fine, I just have to get some water." Tohka stood up, slightly wobbly, before leaving the room to go to the water fountain.

"I pray to Atua we all did well!" Angie spoke up as I looked at Origami, who I was cautious of even more nowadays.

It was obvious Origami had a deep hatred of all things involving spirits, whether or not they were actually a threat to her or civilization. I consider myself lucky for sealing away Kotori's powers before Origami could see them because Origami's family was killed by a fire spirit, and Kotori is a fire spirit. So I kind of play it even safer around Origami and Kotori, as compared to everyone else. On the bright side, Moriko decided to stop killing spirits since Kurumi was officially sealed, and agreed to study here for a bit.

"Yo, (Y/N), you look lost in thought." I could feel a cold can press itself against the back of my neck, forcing me to jump a bit, and I turned around to see Rantaro holding a can of (favorite drink). "Don't hurt yourself."

"Oi." I greeted my cabbage friend by taking the drink of (f/d) as he sat in the empty seat in front of me and began drinking sprite. "Just thinking about a backup plan should Origami discover Kotori's powers."

"Relax, if the worst comes to happen, Tenko can just drop kick Origami into next year." Rantaro seemed very calm about all of this, but then again he's the most chill guy here. "We managed to take on Kurumi, who managed to almost kill two DEM wizards, and we're still missing one person."

"Really, who's missing?" I asked, and for the briefest of seconds, Rantaro looked panicked before regaining his composure.

"The ultimate cosplayer, I'm sure her talent won't be that useful." Rantaro answered with a smile, and judging from his reaction, she was a sensitive subject, so I decided against mentioning her again.

The two of us then started talking about the news around town, like this all girls school called Kuoh Academy is now becoming a coed school, and he heard that some of the only males signing up are four perverts, a trap, a prince, and some guy who is made of tungsten apparently. There's also news about an idol, Miku Izayoi, holding a performance later this month. Due to my respect in all things artistic, music included, I was interested in this new set of news. However, our little celebration break was cut short when Tohka came back and Ms.Tamae announced something.

"Bad news everyone, due to a typhoon in the area, the trip has been changed from Okinawa to Arubi." Ms.Tamae announced, and no one but Korekiyo really cared, and Korekiyo just straight up passed out. "I also ask that you form groups so that you may share a room with them."

"I'll pair up with (Y/N)!" Tohka wasted no time in grabbing onto my arm like an adorable puppy, why have the gods given her such cuteness?

"Um, Tohka, you can't pair up with a male student because two students of the opposite sex in the same dorm due too...obvious reasons." Ms.Tamae answered, and I could already see some disappointed faces from my female friends. "However, you can fly next to him."
