The Irregular At Elite High School's
Chapter 9 Dawn

When I was a kid, I still didn't understand what adults think. Especially if it is related to money, dignity, or love. Those are all things I can't understand. All I knew at the time was to have fun, to enjoy life like a child in general.

'Is that wrong?'

What if I had learned more? What if at that time I was trying to understand more about adult life.Will I be able to save my family?

Although I try not to think about it, the question always comes haunting. It's like a nightmare that can come up anytime, even when you're awake.

'If only in this world were there a little miracle.'

Like the story of a novel in which the protagonist returns to the past and changes his destiny. Yet such a miracle is only a delusion, something absurd and impossible to happen. Even so.. Even though I knew it wasn't real, I still expected it.

"Haw.."

I let out a long sigh, wasting the remaining air of breathing while emptying my mind.

The reality is that there is nothing I can protect or save anymore. Expecting my family to come back to being the way it used to be is free. However, that does not mean I will just stay silent and live life as if taking everything for granted.

'Don't joke!'

Although there was nothing more I could do to my family, it did not mean there was nothing else I could do to the Ichiji family. Those who have done evil deserve their karma.

I believe that God will avenge. But I don't think I'll be able to wait for him to give me that. Let me alone give them that Karma.

Criating. Criating.

With my eyes still closed I rubbed my finger on the phone screen and the alarm disappeared. My sleep is really good. The mattress in this dormitory is so soft that it makes my body feel relaxed just by lying there.

'Ah, it's time to wake up.'

Oh yes, after that exam yesterday I immediately moved to the dormitory belonging to Golden Star Academy. This is a special residence reserved for students in this school.

The house itself is divided into two adjacent buildings. One is for female students and the other is for male students.

Inside there is a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and also a TV room complete with sofa. Outside there is also a small balcony that can be used to relax while enjoying the fresh air.

This dormitory sounds like it might be mediocre. But when viewed from the furniture and interior design that is so classy.. Guaranteed it will be completely different. Let alone three years.dwelling here longer even feels not a problem.

I got out of bed and did a little stretching. By the way this is the first day of the start of the new semester. On the first day like this, people in general will be very careful with his appearance. They will try to perform as well as possible to build a stunning first impression.

I think it's funny. What else when they do not become themselves just for the sake of getting attention. Very contradictory behavior. Being the center of attention is not always good. The real example is the same as how the family was destroyed.

So that's why on my first day of school I didn't want to be flashy. I will move like a strong wolf, clever, agile, and unnoticed by anyone.

'This is enough.'

After putting on the uniform and tidying my hair, I left the dormitory. The early morning air in spring is still cold. My breath was puffing smoke, making me look like a train locomotive moving towards the school building.

Not far from my place, there was a large cherry tree growing on the roadside. The branches swayed as the wind came and hundreds of flowers danced in the air. It felt like nature was welcoming me.

'The woman..'

My gaze turned towards a woman standing under a tree. He may be looking up, but I can still see how his eyes are amazed at the view above.

"Shunsaku."

He noticed my arrival and then greeted me. We only knew him yesterday, if his name is not wrong..

"Kitagawa."

"Oh.. Do you remember my name too?"

"of course. We just met yesterday."

Kitagawa held back her smile. Somehow it seems to make him happy.

"Good then. Oh yeah, I forgot!"

He was suddenly shocked as if he had forgotten something important. Is there anything left behind? Or did he forget to lock the door maybe? I don't know, but it must be very important.

"Good morning.. Please work together for today."

"Haha?"

"Don't just 'Huh?' should have answered me too."

Grumpily Kitagawa with my response that can not follow his wishes.

"All right. good morning. Please work together too."

Hearing that Kitagawa was satisfied. He then opened his palm, letting a strand of the many cherry blossoms that fell landed there.

"Nee, do you like Sakura?"

"I like it enough."

"Is it so. do you not feel sad ? I mean those flowers, they're separated from their branches and flying away in the wind."

"So you don't like it?"

"I don't even understand what I'm feeling. The view of the flowers flying is beautiful.. But on the other hand I also feel guilty for thinking that way. I feel like I'm happy over people's suffering."

Kitagawa. Behind his calm appearance and his mature-looking nature was stored an innocent heart.

"So you pity that the flowers are separated from the tree?"

"Yes, maybe so."

"Why should you be sad? Off the branch.is that not what they want?"

"How can you be sure?"

My incompatible pandapat instantly made him glance with an annoyed face.

"Of course I'm sure. If I were the flower before I died, I would like to feel what freedom is. Fly in the clear sky and see new things out there. What's more, landing in the hands of a high school student like you.. I don't think it's bad either."

"A-AA-WHAT?!"

Kitagawa's face immediately flushed. It seemed to have made him blush.

"Snubrate! Don't imagine anything!"

"Looh, I'll just answer your question."

"But your language is-"

"That's it.. We better get going.."

I cut out the conversation and took a step to get out of there.

"Hoi, wait..! You deliberately switched the conversation!"

Even though Kitagawa still doesn't accept it, I don't care about it and keep going.

"By the way.."

He broke the silence that had appeared.

"Have you checked the email?"

"It's been.. Class division, right?"

"Yes, I'm in class 'D'. If you?"

"Sama, me too.."

"Eh? Seriously?!"

Kitagawa was stunned to the point of stopping his steps.

"Why surprised? You don't like it?"

"Bu-Bu don't like it.. I'm just confused as to how they determine our class. After all, he said Class D was the lowest class among the four classes."

"I doubt they use a special way to divide us. It's most done at random."

"You think so too, right? I've guessed.. They put us in class 'D' it wasn't intentional."

"Kitagawa.. You really just don't want to be considered stupid, right?"

"...."

Kitagawa immediately turned his face away. No other answer could be heard from his mouth. If the reaction is like this, then the answer is no longer wrong.

"That person's opinion isn't something you should care about.just focus on how you prove it."

Kitagawa looked back at me. The calmness and confidence on his calm face finally returned to the way he had led the test yesterday.

"Thank you."

"Yes, it's nothing."

Without feeling like we finally arrived at school. That was a short time. But for a trip, I liked it enough.
