Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 88

At that moment, Erika asked Noah-senpai a question.

"President, I’m curious, why do we conduct ghost story investigations starting at 9 p.m.?"

"From 9 p.m. to midnight is the time when the boundary between the real world and the other world is at its weakest, making it the most suitable time for investigations. However, from midnight to 2 a.m., it’s the time of the other world, so it's dangerous. We must return before midnight."

"No way, President. Are you serious? You're not joking?"

Liam-senpai asked again with a surprised expression.

"Weren’t we just pretending to investigate ghost stories? Are we really going to take this seriously?"

However, Noah-senpai could not answer Liam-senpai’s question, for at that moment, the door to the Student Council room opened.

"It’s been a while, everyone."

Father Cesario entered the room. It truly felt like a long time since we had seen him.

"It seems we have some new members, so let me introduce myself. I am the parish priest of Gloria Cathedral, and I’m also the teacher in charge of the Student Council. If you ever need assistance with ghost story investigations, make sure to come to me. I look forward to working with you."

Father Cesario, after introducing himself, got down to business.

"I heard you're investigating the bathroom ghost story, but before you begin, there’s something I must tell you. It’s the history of Gloria Island."

At this, jeers erupted. The culprits of the jeers were Liam-senpai and Henry Cader-senpai.

Surprisingly, the two seemed to get along quite well.

But there were no textbooks on the island’s history, and there wasn’t a teacher who knew much about it, so it wasn’t like anyone could listen to such things.

However, isn’t it interesting to hear a story like this? I thought so.

I was filled with enthusiasm. I took my notebook and fountain pen out of my bag, preparing to take notes.

Of course, no one else was as enthusiastic as me, so everyone looked at me like I was a weirdo.

"The one who got a perfect score on the transfer exam doesn’t let anything slip by, huh?"

Henry-senpai mumbled with admiration in his eyes as he looked at me.

Embarrassed, I quietly closed my notebook. I shouldn’t stand out.

Then, Father Cesario’s history lecture began.

"Saint Gloria Private School was built on this island 100 years ago to honor the achievements of Sister Gloria. I’m sure everyone knows that."

According to Father Cesario’s explanation, until 100 years ago, evil spirits roamed this land.

Thus, there was a shaman family, and the Vatican actively supported exorcism rituals.

It was during this period that the evil spirits’ power accumulated, and the King of the Evil Spirits awoke.

As they say, heroes are made by the times. The person who appeared then was Sister Gloria, who possessed immense divine power.

Sister Gloria sealed all the remaining evil spirits on this island and also imprisoned the King of the Evil Spirits here.

While sealing the King of the Evil Spirits, Sister Gloria passed away, and in her honor, this island was named Gloria Island.

The school was founded about ten years later. Its purpose was to suppress the island’s dark energy with young, energetic students.

"Didn’t anyone raise concerns about building a school in such a dangerous place?"

"There were some, but their opinions weren’t taken seriously. People at that time had suffered from a long war with the evil spirits. After that, the school kept this fact thoroughly hidden. Now, the school has become a world-renowned prestigious institution, so that history is treated as just history."

Everyone was at a loss for words. Father Cesario’s explanation made sense.

No matter what the history was, it was a prestigious school, and there had been no problems for over 100 years, so there was no reason to bring up that history now.

Besides, there were almost no people who believed in evil spirits anymore.

"The reason I’m telling you this is to help the new members understand. I want you to know why we investigate ghost stories."

Father Cesario finished speaking and looked at Noah-senpai. After briefly stepping aside, he returned to the podium and explained further.

"Someone in this school is using ghost stories to stir up trouble. We need to find out who it is."

Upon hearing this, I thought to myself. It was a good decision to join the ghost story investigation club with Raven. By causing a stir like this, we would definitely learn more about the entity that cursed Raven.

Noah-senpai, likely thinking of the students who didn’t fully believe in ghost stories, explained only that "someone is using ghost stories to create chaos."

In reality, we were looking for someone who was unlocking the seals of the evil spirits.

"This ghost story that Melody received from Rachel-sensei is also suspected to be connected to this person. So, we should investigate it together. Tonight at 9 p.m. Don’t forget!"

"Yes."

"Yes!"

At Father Cesario’s words, the students responded in unison and then dispersed.

"Melody, want to go to Sally’s room and get scared?"

At that moment, Erika came up to me, arms crossed, and asked. I decided to give up on having a separate conversation with Raven and followed her.

⌎ What was that earlier?

⌎ I was so shocked that I brought my friends, and in the meantime, someone took the memo off the bulletin board?

⌎ What was it?

⌎ There was no one, but the blank memo paper had writing on # Nоvеlight # it. Two of my classmates from the same class witnessed it.

⌎ Where is Teacher Rachel now?

⌎ Damn, who’s above me? I was just writing and it wrote by itself. What is this? I’m the only one in the lobby right now. Who are you? Where are you writing from?
