My mom first confirmed my intention to call the number on the envelope and i nodded and told her that this was indeed my intention, she asked me to be honest with her and i nodded obediently and wondered what did she wanted to ask .
Are you going to do that because of me .
Only then did i understand why she asked me to be honest with her, my mom's wits have always been good, i was having a bit of conflict on how to answer that, i could comfort her by telling her a lie and keep her in dark, but her intense gaze on me forced me to tell her the truth .
I nodded a bit weakly, but knowing how she turned to overthink things like that, i continued to tell her everything i came to know from the sd card, as i understood it at least but left the part about her being pierced by the attack of the Metaphysical, seeing that she seemed to have any memory of it .
I told her that the school that i will be going to due to that man suggestion, was something akin to a special military school for special people like me and like that man, luckily she seemed to have some understanding to what kind of school was i talking about, she nodded but her eyes were still a bit tearful .
After telling her that i will work hard to create a better future for both of us, she became a bit cheerful, but she was still a bit down .
A few minutes later, she began to tell me about my father and how she met him during an encounter with another Metaphysical and told me that he came to her rescue and that was how she fell in love with him .
She told me that my father name was Motohama Midori, he was a C Rank savior or at least that what he told her back then, she wasn't sure of what even the title savior meant, but with how much she was infatuated with him, she thought it was a cool title .
After he got a promotion and become a B Rank savior, he proposed to her and they got married but then everything suddenly and without any kind of warning changed .
His way of speaking with her, his warm embrace turned into a cold one, things were going bad between the two of them, then came the straw that broke the camel back or at least that was the how my father would have interpreted it as .
My mom was pregnant with me, she have always told me that it was the best day in her life, but it wasn't the same for my father, no far from it .
When he knew of her pregnancy, he didn't react much to it, the gap in that period of time between the two had become quite wide, it wasn't accurate to describe it as a gap no more, more like a large crack or a deep hole was now between the two .
A month later my father came to my mom with a crazy suggestion, that when i heard about it, i couldn't help but agree with Troska-san words of him being a bastard .
Due to him becoming a B Rank savior, he caught the attention of a young woman that had a wealthy and well-known family behind her and she confessed her liking to him and wanted to be with him, but she already knew that he had a wife, she asked him to divorce my mom and then they will marry .
But he came with another bizarre idea that all i could call it and it was truly a bizarre idea, he came to convince my mom to abortion me and that he will divorce her and take her as something akin to a concubine, but she will serve the lady he will be marrying as her personal handmaid .
At this part of the story, my mom tears began to pour, i got a few tissues and cleared the tears of his eyes, while having a raging fire on my chest, but kept my emotions under control for my mother sake, something i never saw myself able to do before, but in those past two days, i kept discovering that i can do lots of things even though i don't even know how to do it again .
Back to what my mom was saying after she calmed down a little, he told her that he will give her some time to think and that it was best for her to make the wise choice, my mom health deteriorated after the 3 month of being pregnant, but my father wasn't near her or even came to check on her, when she got well and went home, she saw an envelope on the table and in that envelope was her divorce papers .
She was a bit saddened by how things have turned out, but she said that never in her life had she filled a document as fast as she did with those divorce papers, she went to a court and handed them in the same day she was admitted from the hospital, telling me about how much of nuisance that my father of mine was to my mother .
The court asked if she wanted to get some alimony money from her divorcee, but she wanted to have nothing to do with that guy, so she refused and even went to great lengths to achieve that, she sold the house they lived in and moved to their current house, she returned to use her surname instead of the surname of her husband, she used to be a good accountant in a local company near her family's home, but she didn't work after she got married .
But even though she was 4 months pregnant, she applied for an accountant job in a supermarket near our new home after a few failed job applications, all failed due to her being pregnant and such, but luckily the owner of the supermarket was a woman, so she accepted her application warmly .
5 More months, i arrived and my mother was so delighted at my birth that she kept having a wide smile for over a month after my birth according to Troska-san, that woman was an unstoppable chattering box, but her speciality was more inclined to gossips .
My dad then made a phone call to check on how she was doing, but the moment she knew who was the one calling, she hanged up and wondered whether they needed to move out again, but luckily that wasn't needed as that man was finally able to use his brain and understand that we don't to have any connection with him, so he didn't call nor he came to visit .
The only problem my mom had with me was what will be the surname she will write on my birth certificate, but she finally settled with naming me Komurasaki Ryuu, i was brought up by my mom on her own, never asked about who was my father and if i even had one, at school some would try and make fun of me saying that i was a bastard, but then they will be taught a harsh lesson right after .
That was all the circumstances my mom had to deal with to raise me, i couldn't hold back my tears and i directly throw myself at her and embraced her in a tight hug, we both cried for a quite long time that night, but in the rest of the night, i was looking at the envelope in hand and weighting my choices a bit more, that Man was no father to me and he better believe that i was no son of his either .
Seeing that it was already a bit late at night i decided against calling at this late hour, but that was just an excuse, i had a feeling that if i called there was a 100 percent chance that someone will pickup the call, but the real reason to why i didn't call was that i was still feeling a bit uncomfortable calling that Man, if i called him to curse at him it would have been a lot easier, but this call will be me asking that guy for a favor, so i couldn't help but feel a bit hesitant .
The next morning, i dialed the number on the envelope and the one who picked the call was a maid in the house asking me who am i and what did i want, i answered that i wanted to take to Motohama Midori- san and refrained from telling her my name, i only told her that he was the one that gave me this number and asked me to call him .
The maid seemed to get that kind of calls a lot and she then hanged up the call without even saying a word, i felt a bit embarrassed at how the call ended, but i still thickened my skin and called once more, the maid already expecting my actions picked up the phone then hanged it without even waiting for me to say a word, i was going to give up after trying one last time .
I once again called, this time the maid answered the call with a loud what, i finally told her my name but still used my mother family name and asked her if she wouldn't allow him to receive the call to at least tell him that i called and hung up the call before she was even able to reply as a payback for before .
I got up from the bed and begin searching for information about Akane Academy, the results weren't much but they were enough to tell me plenty about the new school which i will enroll in .
Akane Academy was a prestigious mixed boarding school that weirdly didn't require its students to pay any kind of tuition fees, it was also being funded by the Japanese government, the school require that their students stay in the school until they finish their school years, it would be quite the hurdle to tell this to my mom, the school information was somewhat scarce .
Their was no mention to what kind of subjects that was being taught or much about the teachers who work there, the only information was that it had a female headmaster with the name Shimon Mari, but weird enough there was no picture attached to the name .
As i finished doing my research, i got out of my room, i woke up early so my mother was still asleep, i took the spare key and washed my face and put on my sportswear and started my daily routine of running and doing a few basic exercises in the park, as i spent half an hour doing so and was sitting on a bench to catch my breath, my phone suddenly rang, i looked at the information of the caller, but saw that it was unknown number, so i answered the call already having a guess on who was calling .
The moment i answered the phone the rough voice from yesterday came through the phone, saying :
So you called .
--------------------------------------------------------- .
Those were all the circumstances that led to the current situation, i sighed and remembered what that Man said about him fighting to give me a big opportunity, one that he still haven't told me anything about .
The uniform of the school was delivered to my home and it took a great amount of time to convince my mom to allow me to go after she knew about the school rules, but luckily in the end she agreed on the condition that i call her occasionally .
My uniform consist of a formal white silver blazer with dark hues and under it with a black shirt and a white well fitting slack, the attire was designed to give the impression of being both comfortable and functional and it was .
I saw a few students wearing the same uniform as i do as we got close to the school, they kept stealing glances at the luxurious car i was in and me who was in the backseat, i felt a bit uncomfortable by their stares, so i asked the butler next to the driver, if it was possible for me to continue on foot and for him to go back .
But his reply was that he was tasked by his master to leave me at the gates of the school and that was exactly what he was going to do, i once again sighed as the car continued to pass through .
Luckily, i finally reached the school after a few more minutes, i was going to come down by myself, but then the butler as if teleporting appeard directly at the door, the moment the car stopped in front of the school gates and opened the door for me .
I felt it was a bit extravagant especially the way he bowed his head down as i came out of the car, i was able to hear a few words like " tch, another rich guy " " what a luxurious car " a girl even said " marry me " .
I didn't care much about their opinion and after all this was nothing but a mere show, i'm not rich but i'm not poor either, i thanked him and was about to go ahead and enter the but he hurried behind me and handed me a bank card and asked me to use it sparingly, that was what that Man said, i wasn't willing to do so, but the butler stuffed it in my hand and walked back to the car and left, i put it on my pocket and just left to hall where the entrance ceremony was held in .
I began walking towards the school building, but weirdly enough no passing by students were around me anymore, i looked at the watch on my hand and saw that i was already 5 minutes late to the ceremony and directly dashed in the direction of the hall .
He running to the hall like a madman, earned a few shouts and berating from the senpais and as he was turning his head to apologize, he stumbled into a person coming out of the corner, forcing the two to fall backward .
But he is his hasty state merely apologized to the person he crashed to and continued to run towards the hall .
He was able to finally reach the hall where the ceremony was held, he opened the door to the hall in a hurry, but he accidentally caused a ruckus with how he opened the door, resulting in stopping the headmaster from continuing her speech and forcing all the eyes to be aimed at him, it was only 5 minutes late, but those 5 minutes resulted in him causing a ruckus and making the scene awkward .
This incident will even make the people have wrong assumption about me and label me as delinquent for quite some time .
