Umeko doesn't like fighting and she believes she is not a fighter, her life motto is to be a laid back salted fish in every situation, but her friends one by one jump into battle, if she doesn't help then she is not a good friend, but it is impossible for a salted fish to fight big enemies every turn, it's better to lie on the ground and pretending to be dead.
Middle night, Karakura Town.
There was two high reaiatsu from afar, it's look like some people having quite hearty fight, i just wish they put down the fight quickly this is midnight dear god, i cant sleep because i keep sensing some god damn reiatsu.
Karakura is a city with high spiritual energy, hollow and spiritual being love our town.
Honestly I wish that my spiritual senses weren't so sharp, but that's impossible as a Witch who cast spells by drawing reishi, for witch manipulating and controlling reishi is a basic skill, so my senses wouldn't be bad, right?
It's not that I'm not grateful to be born as a spiritually aware human being, but the downside is that I have to pretend to be normal like others, which of course is very tiring for me, but so far apart from hearing the roars of hollows and sometimes being targeted by hollows, Magic actually has many more advantages.

In the morning I woke up with red eyes because I kept thinking about the good and bad of having power until 4 AM, it was really stupid. I took a quick shower, and put on my uniform, combing my thick black hair in front of the mirror, actually my appearance could be said to be cold beauty type, how could it not be with light blue peach blossom eyes framed by long thick lashes, delicate with a hint of heroic brows, plump cherry lips , and very cute when smile, I'm confident even Orihime the pretty girl in class said she could eat ten buns when looking at my face, but compared to Orihime my body is less endowed maybe this is the price of having a face like a movie star, u can call me narcissistic but I don't care .

At the dining table, my father and older sister have started breakfast again with instant chicken nuggets and instant noodles, almost all the dishes in our house are instant because we can't cook for the sake of living, i dont know why we still survive till this day, so I have to compromise on eating breakfast and a bento full of instant side dishes, it tastes delicious, i should not waste food even its instant.
"Dad, when will my make-up be done?"
Apparently my older sister is still bugging our dad for this ridiculous make up, if it's normal make up I don't care but she asks for skincare that can make her face beautiful like Photoshop edits without having to wear make up, I think my sister is crazy.
"Well, where did you get that creative idea, you are already very beautiful, you will definitely be even more beautiful if you wear make-up, surely lots of boy will have a crush on you, dad will be sad if you are busy dating."
"The heck dad why are we switching to boyfriend"
again talking about boyfriend shit, To be honest i have more interest for 3d man than 4d man except my idol Justin Bibir sama with his beautiful voice granting me salvation for my desolate life, well if i have Justin Bibir sama why should i care with boys in my class, alas most of em look like baby in diaper compared justin bibir sama hotness.
"Yes dad, Ume and I are in high school, it's time to start dating."
Tch my sister with her obsesion with dating.
"Sis, I didn't say I wanted to data , but you did."
Honestly big sis have beautifull face like me plus bit hot body (i am not envy) there no way she cant catch single fish in fishpond , oh well i am forget my sister attending all girls school, well why not date some hot girl right ? dating boy is common thing.
"Yes, I want to date, what's wrong with that? I've been in the third year of high school and I haven't dated at all, it's really bad."
"My two daughters are still beautiful even though they don't have boyfriends"
Here come my dad so desperate as ever
"stop it dad get a life we already this big no need for coddling"
"My sweet Ume chan my beautiful daughter how can you say like this, dad is so sad"
Cant my dad be normal dad uggh
"Here comes crazy old man"
"Not you too my sweet Yuzuki"
"Damn it I'm going to school"
I hurriedly took my bento and bag, if i sit more longer i'll get headache why cant my dad and sister stop being crazy

When i get to class , there was only Uryu Ishida with his face planted in a book, as expected of an honor student.
I passed by his desk, my desk acktuly one seat away from him, I could feel his reiatsu, we both know each other's secrets, but I doubt that he can guess that I'm a witch. I was quite surprised the first time I entered my class in high school because during elementary and middle school, except for Kurosaki, I never met many children who had high reiatsu than that of a normal human, let alone meeting a live quincy. Orihime and Yasutora have high reiatsu but I can't guess their identity as openly as Ishida, and there's Kurosaki. Since I met him I know Kurosaki can't be normal, his reiatsu is high but even though it's high I still can't guess, some times his reiatsu seems to be mixed up. Not like Orihime and Yasutora who I believe are still hundred percent human, my guess is Kurosaki must be Mixed race but I could also be wrong.

more classmates came into the classroom, their loud voices disturbed me, some just sit quietly in desk like me, some just cant keep their mouth shut like Asano Keigo in our class.
"Morning, Tatsuki-chan"
"Morning Orihime"
it seems the duo has arrived
"Morning Himeeeeeeee"
and here comes Chizuru with her signature gretting to Orihime only to get hard kick by Tatsuki, as i see it seems like chizuru as perv as ever to Orihime
"Morning Umeko Chan"
As always Orihime always grating people with high enthusiasm i don't know what kind of breakfast she has to be this energetic.
We've known each other for less than a month, but Orihime is very friendly, the most friendly person I've ever known, being able to be friends with classmates in the short time makes me happy, unlike in middle school I only had Tsubasa as a close friend, I think the students in my class now are more friendly, and welcoming.
"Morning Orihime"
to be honest she greeted me with excitement i felt bad for not returning it,
"What the heck, what's with this down ass Umeko" said Tatsuki
"I didn't sleep all night," I answered
"Oh my that's bad Umeko chan, what are you doing actually?" Orhime chipped
"Don't tell me you're thinking about Justin Bibir"
"Yes"
"What the heck, Umeko, you can't be that stupid," said Tatsuki curtly
"Well why not Justin my idol he was rent free in my brain"
"Ughh"
I know Tatsuki will feel disgusted when I say this
"Hahahahaha u two so funny"
Both Tatsuki and me just looked at Orihime weirdly, we don't know what's so funny, let it be her tastes are strange.

After that Haru sensei our teacher entered the class, the first lesson today was English even though I was born in London, Reserved London to be exact, my English is just so-so because I moved to Karakura when I was 5 years old, since then I've only been back there five times , why though even if my grandmother is still alive i hate that old woman who caused my mother's misery, now she's gone only left my third and fourth aunt, my family don't have a good relationship with fourth aunt's family i say my fourth aunt is so pompous even in her letters to my father she couldn't stop showing off , my third aunt is good but yeah visiting reserved London not on our family agenda except my dad but it was for picking magic material.
As I drifted with my thoughts Haru sensei called my name.
"Mori san you can take your number"
"Yes sensei" I stepped forward, well I got number 3, Haru Sensei giving us group task for this semester and look I think I'm unlucky, Kurosaki has the same number as me, tsk.
I went straight to his desk
"Hey, what's our task ?" I daydreamed so much that I didn't know what the task was this time
"Make analysis of artistic expression in Literature work"
"artistic expression in literary works? that's a high end assignment, as expected from literature graduates even giving assigment must have artsy felling"
"Haru sensei is a literature graduate ? " Kurosaki asked curiously
"I dont know, i am just talking nonsense Kurosaki"
Kurosaki just give me facefalm expression.
Ugh I see Kurosaki's orange hair, guess with this kind of carrot hair color he must not have artsy cell right?
Even though my opinion is cruel, let's see, it's impossible for a carrot head to have art cell.
"Get off your head Mori" again with a permanent scowl in his face Kurosaki spoke to me in a sarcastic tone
"Tsk, I get it, so do we need to use sources from Movie, books or something else?" I asked curtly, I don't know why this person is sometimes nice and sometimes meany, look at his expression, he's always scowling.
"Well I think maybe from a book or Movie, sensei wanted as much as possible."
"Really ? i think working in our favorite work can do it." To be honest our sensei is crazy.
" Lets List our favorite then." Kurosaki started write his own
I wrote Alice in Wonderland, Andresen fairytale, and disney movie, now my list seems like childish compared to Kurosaki who list Shakespeare works, and Al Pacino movie honestly I don't believe his list.
"How about little mermaid and romeo and juliet because for life i can't understand shakespeare's work, romeo and juliet is most familiar to me."
"Why little mermaid?" Kurosaki asked curiously
"My favorite" I answered
Kurosaki just stared at me, now now he must be think i am such childish person for liking damn fairytale and cartoon.
"Its not sin to like childish thing, dont look at me like that. " I speak to save my fucking face.
"no its not like that, i never think you like tragedy."
"What ? What tragedy some disney princess have ?"
"i speak about original tale"
"Ohh, say someone who likes shakespeare's work, well i find little mermaid fascinating, some people could really die for someone who doesn't loved them back"
"some people can die for the people they love."
I am sorry but why i feel Kurosaki is some sad emo for moment , his face make some kind alien expression, that weird is not it Kurosaki some tough deliquent.
" What the heck Kurosaki dont pretend to be deep"
" Dumbass." Nah this is Kurosaki that i know
" Well i dont expect you have refined taste, you not lie are you ? "
" The heck is this."
" Why i think u pretend to be cool in front of me ?"
" What ?? your ass pretend to be cool"
" My ass is cool Kurosaki u got probelm with it ?"
" Quit it, we have more pressing matter here."
" Here my number, lets talk about task next time, we dont have material now"
Kurosaki take my number, even though we have been classmates since third year middle school, this is the first time we have worked together in group.

After school I decided to practice my magic, today was quite bad I had another fight with Tsubasa, at lunch break I looked for her it turned out Tsubasa with Arisa gang, Arisa is queen be in our grade, seeing Tsubasa, I immediately joined them it was still fun until Tsubasa keep fawning to Arisa? I'm not comfortable seeing it . I said to Tsubasa before we parted to each other class You dont fawning to your friend, and she get angry with rebuked me that i dont understant her, what the thing i cant understand about her ?? i get more angry the more i think about it.
I aimed my dragon shatter towards the target and shouted.
"Ice Sword"
Magic #82. Ice Sword, ice sword just like the name it self when casted this spell will summon a giant ice sword which glides through the air towards the target, when it hits the target it can freeze, and paralyze, in maksimal effect it can give severe damage to strong enemies, and directly kills the weak.
I have been trained since six year old the age when i gained little bit control of my power until this day its still hard for me to control some spell, like spell with fire my control so out of place i never use it, some time ago i lost control and get burned , i find more easier to control ice spell because ice more concentrates even for aerial ice spell it more easy than to control for my case , although fire can give more devasting damage it just casting and controling it need great amount of power, its not that fire more better than ice they basically same, for magic utilizing spell to maximal is better, because its all about last effect.
Again my attack only get past to 8 in magic meter from scale 20 – 0 or cant detected, this device actually same like reiatsu measuring from spirit class scale, my father tell me this device can measured how strong effect of my spell, most higher level i could muster is around 7 scale it was when i am 14 just that once time, since then i barely move from 8, so frustating.
My lack of progres actually because i dont get trained to be skilled fighter, there's nothing challenging about practicing with non movable target, no its not that i am craving some battle, but i have right to exploring and learning more about my power, i am lacking enlightened.
