A year ago, Mr. Tabashiwa, a music teacher, an expertise of instruments, a strict music teacher when it comes to performing exercises, was teaching his students in the music room. The students were third year students. Their music class is their last subject. Their instrument is the use of a violin. The students knew that he is strict but still they respected him. One day, the students were asked to perform the song , Canon , tomorrow for their session in Music Class. The students have already practiced the song so they were already expected to play the song one by one. The students were shocked and nervous. “ Is it okay by partner, Tabashiwa-sensei? “ (sensei : Japanese for Teacher), the students asked.. “No. You have already practiced hard enough so you are all expected to play it one by one, Mr. Tabashiwa replied. The class was dismissed and everyone practiced. They ate at the canteen for dinner then practiced by groups. Everyone was nervous. A 15 year old girl named Yukino Ibawatri asked her close and kind classmates to practice in a group. They agreed. There were 4 of them , Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartifilia, Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet. “Maybe I can’t do this. Tabashiwa-sensei usually scolds me because I’m not good in playing a violin.” Yukino said. “You can do this, we believe in you!” Lucy said and everyone agreed. The next day, everyone was already at the Music Room for their individual presentation. “Let’s start!” Mr. Tabashiwa said. Everyone was nervous. One by one they played. Natsu, Lucy, Gray and Erza played well. “Your turn, Yukino” Mr. Tabashiwa said. Yukino played but it didn’t sound well. She was really nervous and that made her play ugly. “ Uh oh. I haven’t played the notes right.” Yukino said. “Heavenly Gosh! Yukino, we practiced everyday for this song and you didn’t played it well! We practice 3 to 4 times a week then practice at your beds at night but still you can’t hit the notes right? You call yourself a student of mine who is so different than the rest? Do you want me to fail you? Mr.Tabashiwa said angrily.

“How could you do say that to me?” Yukino cried and left the room. Everyone was shocked. “Let us go guys” Erza said. “Right!” Gray, Lucy and Natsu replied. “Where’s Yukino?” Lucy asked. “ Guys, I think I found someone in the pool. Let’s go!” Natsu said. Everyone went to the pool in a hurry. Everyone was shocked. “Yukino’s floattttiing..” Gray shockingly said. “Her violin as well and the bow.” Lucy added.

          “The incident happened of a young girl who was hurt by her teacher’s words. May her soul rest in peace.. This violin must be placed in the music room that we can always see it every time in order to remind us of her. She was a kind student to everyone.” I hope you will change your attitude towards your students, Tabashiwa –sensei.

(Then, a year passed since Yukino’s death.. It was already September, the start of classes.)

Another school year is about to start.  Classes are about to start. The teachers explained the rules and regulations in school. What to do and what not to do. After that, the students meet new friends and gain friendship with one another. Teachers introduced themselves and gain new students. The population of Sungha University of Tokyo increased.

          A 15 year old boy , Switch Kirigaya , studies at Sungha University of Tokyo. He is a new third year student. It was about class for music when “Don’t you have a violin, Switch?” His classmate asked him. “My parents didn’t buy me one yet. They’re still busy in their work. Does the school have an extra violin? I can use it temporarily. Do they have?” Switch asked. “Hmm. There is a violin in the music room that we can ask Tabashiwa-sensei. But there’s a problem. The violin that was not used is cursed. That’s what I heard. They say that teachers can hear the violin played at night. It belongs to someone who suicide by drowning herself. Many says that some can see the girl playing the violin.” His classmate said. “ Well, I don’t really care. I don’t believe in curses. All I need is a violin. Let’s ask our teacher. (So, they asked their music teacher.) “I cannot allow you…” Tabashiwa-sensei replied. “Please teacher. (he explained the reason)” Switch said. “Well, okay. But if there’s a problem with that violin then it is your problem already. Okay?” Tabashiwa-sensei said. “Okay, sure. Thank you.” Switch replied bravely.

          Then the music class started. Everyone played the song. But somehow, Switch’s violin sounds weird. The violin is tuned already but still sounds bad. “It must be old already.” Switch said. “Why not I let you borrow my violin for the meantime, Switch?” the teacher said. “This is fine. Thanks for the offer though, sensei. ( Then the class was dismissed.) “Something is wrong with that violin, I can feel it.” The teacher thought.

          After dinner, the students went back to their bedrooms. His roommates are already asleep. Switch played the violin because he really wants to practice. It sounded bad but still he practiced. He tried to tune it. He borrowed his classmate’s violin in order to have the right tune of it. Nothing changed. The tune was the same. “Ohh.. well.. I better do this tomorrow. It’s getting late. One must be asleep when it is already 10:00pm. Okay” . Switch talked to his self. He prayed then went to sleep.

          Suddenly, the violin started playing itself. The tune was not good. Everyone woke up in the room. They were shocked and scared. They saw a white girl floating with the violin trying to practice hard with the song Canon. What awaits the students in the room with Switch? What should they do? Solve the problem by themselves or call for help? TO BE CONTINUED. J
