This commotion completely disturbed the two card-playing addicts.
Three-Eyed frowned and looked in that direction, then muttered, "You've got some nerve. Don't you know you can't rummage through other people's desks in this ghost school? It's written in the school rules."
Kijima Suzuka was somewhat surprised, and before she could speak, another ghost with strange movements spoke up: "That guy seems to have just come in? Hasn't he seen the other set of school rules in his desk drawer yet? But why did he think of rummaging through another ghost's desk drawer? Doesn't he know not to mess around on other ghosts' turf in the ghost world?"
Are there any rules regarding the desk drawers?
Before even seeing Suzuka Kijima, this whole mess has happened, making me even more hesitant to touch the table drawer.
"Yeah, you all seem to be new here?" The three-eyed ghost was quite friendly to the female students. "There's a rule here: only the student ghost can touch each desk drawer. If another ghost goes through your desk drawer, the rule will swallow it whole."
"But... I heard something moving in my desk drawer just now..."
Suzuka Kijima appeared delicate, but the two card-playing pros had already picked up their cards again and didn't see it at all. They just said to her with their backs to her, "That must be your rulebook moving. It stopped moving after it finished reading it."
Having said that, Kijima Suzuka could only return to her seat, bend down to look, and indeed there was only a piece of paper in her desk drawer.
She quickly took out the paper, and there was no danger at all.
Relieved, Kijima Suzuka knew they were telling the truth and focused her attention back on the rules page. Judging from what had just happened, this place was extremely dangerous; there were many areas where she couldn't even use her own puppets to test things out—it was just too troublesome.
The first thing you see on the paper is the course schedule.
There are seven classes a day, four in the morning and three in the afternoon. But strangely, almost every class is empty, with only a few seats marked "Physical Education" or "Swimming". It's good if there's one class a day, and it's impossible to reach the target of four classes a day.
Could it be... an elective course?
3. Our school promotes a joyful learning environment, but students are expected to complete at least four lessons daily. Please maintain a high level of enthusiasm for learning.
Thinking about this rule, Suzuka Kijima probably had some guesses.
At this moment, the other ghosts and monsters also entered the classroom one after another, and they all saw another set of school rules in the desk drawer:
8. Each student's desk drawer is for the student's use only. Do not rummage through other students' desk drawers.
9. Please remain quiet during class. Do not answer questions unless asked by the teacher, and do not leave your seat during class. Teachers dislike talkative and restless students.
10. Don't refuse your teacher's requests.
11. Please return to your dormitory before 10 PM every day and do not linger on campus. After 10 PM, the principal will patrol the campus.
[12. You live in a four-person dormitory room, with four roommates including yourself. If you find any unfamiliar roommates in the room, please ask them to leave.]
This follows from the school rules outside.
Based on the contents of this piece of paper, Suzuka Kijima has reason to suspect that there will be more new rules later, and they will most likely be centered around the dormitory.
However, we probably won't know what those rules are until we get to the dorm.
Suzuka Kijima looked around the classroom and noticed a large clock. Judging from the time on the clock, it seemed that class was about to start.
"Knock knock knock—"
When the hour arrived, the clock immediately began to chime.
The two players who were playing cards reluctantly put away their cards, returned to their seats, obediently lay down on the table, and began to snore.
Is it really okay to skip class?
Suzuka Kijima was a well-known good student on Earth, with outstanding talent and abundant family resources, so she was a darling who was sought after wherever she went.
She has a rebellious side, but it has almost never been noticed by anyone.
Now, in the world of strange and uncanny rules, the immense power and perilous environment cause her to grapple with two conflicting psychological states.
The "angel" in her mind, Suzuka Kijima, tells her that she must be a well-behaved girl who performs well, while the "devil" Suzuka Kijima tells her that she already has enough power and can also create her own era like San Hirano.
An era in which everyone idolized Suzuka Kijima.
Before the "angel" and "devil" in her mind could argue and win, with one "thump" after another, a strange head jumped into Kijima Suzuka's Class C.
The strange head didn't need a body at all. It carried a book in its mouth and hopped onto the podium. Although it sounded cute, each jump made the strange head hit the ground with a "thud".
Her head was about three or four times the size of a normal person's, she had no body, and her nose was like that of a witch in anime, a fat and large hooked nose.
She spat the book onto the podium and said in a hoarse voice, "Today we're going to talk about the human world."
With a "whoosh".
The two card-playing students, who were lying down and about to fall asleep, immediately perked up, sitting up straight and waiting to hear the teacher tell the story of that other world.
"The human realm, as the name suggests, is the world inhabited by humans. We, the hundred ghosts, were not born into the ghost realm. On the contrary, we were all sealed in this world by selfish humans for various reasons, unable to return to the human realm. How many of you here still remember what happened in the human realm?"
As soon as the strange-headed man finished speaking, only three or four people in the class raised their hands. One of them scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't remember very clearly."
The teacher on the podium didn't seem to mind and continued, "When we were sealed away, some of our memories of the human world were also sealed away. So it's not our fault that we can't remember clearly, but rather that the despicable humans have tampered with our memories, making it even harder for us to return to the human world."
"Humans are so evil!"
A new ghost couldn't help but complain, echoing the teacher's words.
The next second, however, it found itself beginning to merge into the ground, as if the classroom floor was swallowing it up. It reached out in terror, hoping someone would pull it out, but no one moved.
It's simple, because it violated school rules.
9. Please remain quiet during class. Do not answer questions unless asked by the teacher, and do not leave your seat during class. Teachers dislike talkative and restless students.
Previously, when answering questions, it was the student who had the strange idea.
However, what it said now was a very obvious interruption, which violated the rule of keeping quiet.
Are the rules really that strict?
Kijima Suzuka gasped, feeling grateful for her good study habits that prevented her from talking too much in class.
Facing the students being swallowed by the classroom, the strange head didn't even lift its eyelids, but continued:
"The human world was originally a place where humans, ghosts, and gods coexisted. But one day, a great Onmyoji named Seimei appeared, created the ghost world, and called on all Onmyoji to unite and seal away the hundred ghosts, so that humans could be enlightened and there would be no more demons."
At this point, the strange head sneered, "But how could that be?"
