1 Fuyuki Matsuda

Spring is identic with cherry blossoms, flowers that bloom once a year. Various office, company, and school activities start from this season. The teenager walked in uniform with a neat jacket, trousers, and mini skirts, adorned by beautiful scenery flower pink there along the road to the school building it, as if the young soul blossomed again.

All students want a fun school life, join club activities and have lots of friends. However, for some reason, some students are not able to enjoy their school days.

There are only focusing on the career future, there is a corresponding obligation only school without a purpose even find a girlfriend? could shortly be a reason why someone would like to continue their education.

Unlike the case with Fuyuki Matsuda. A cute boy with eyes colored green and hair color white was forced to go to school because of his father's orders.

"Irritating!" he only can say it when he entered high school gate Abeno, nothing is interesting in his himself. Over the next three years, d he would lead a life together with Hiyori Fujisaki and Mawaru Yoshioka, friends of his childhood.

Due to his extraordinary intelligence, Fuyuki got the highest score on the admissions test, scoring perfectly in all the subject tests. Then, when he becomes the best student in number one, he became a superstar in school.

"Why did I become famous? I should not mean it when doing the test." In the minds of Fuyuki, he has become a talk by people at school.

"Don't be like that, master should be grateful!" said Mawaru who walked over to him and grabbed his shoulder. Followed by Hiyori walking casually looking down while playing a game on his smartphone, "Receive it with pride."

Mawaru's words and Hiyori make Fuyuki increasingly lazy to step up his leg and suddenly fell silent. He closed his eyes, reflecting on his purpose. "Come to think of it, I'm here to carry out father's will." So, would not want him to be a viable air school.

The silent Fuyuki started to take steps and stepped forward, "Alright!" he muttered under his breath as he opened his eyes, his previously sluggish face was now excited again.

Hmm...

"He's finally come to his senses!" in Hiyori's heart while smiling faintly seeing Fuyuki getting excited again.

"By the way, where is our class?" Mawaru asked to start a small talk.

"Eh-!? Didn't you see the notice board in front of the entrance earlier?" Hiyori started to mess with Mawaru by showing his annoyed expression.

"Really?" Mawaru became a little restless.

"Do you not know, Mawaru?" Fuyuki looked at her in disbelief.

"Yes," Mawaru answered with a board-level expression. Inwardly Mawaru "I'm too lazy if it should go back there to see it again."

"I'm in class 1-B," Hiyori said casually while pointing his index finger at the classroom in question.

"What about Master?" Mawaru asked Fuyuki who was anxiously hoping to be in the same class.

"I don't know," Fuyuki purposely ignored Mawaru but he walked and entered class 1-B as well with Hiyori.

"Why even go in there!?" Mawaru shouted annoyed at both of them.

Hiyori and Fuyuki looked for a seat, and they sat close together while Mawaru was pensive in the corner of the classroom door still thinking about it.

Hiyori whispered to Fuyuki who was watching Mawaru from a distance.

"Why didn't you tell her that she was in class 1-B too?" Because among the three of them, the only one who saw the class list was only Fuyuki.

"I want to test her abilities," Fuyuki answered curtly.

"What does it mean?" Hiyori asked in surprise.

Fuyuki took a deep breath and explained the reason, "Because she can read minds, and if he was trained for such negligence..."

"Oh, so that 's the reason."

"Yes," Fuyuki immediately rose from his seat and headed for the door, grabbing hand Mawaru and bring it into the classroom while Hiyori says "Another reason for Mawaru call the master and the call was sounded very prominently in a public place like this, right?"

Fuyuki smiled gently, placed Mawaru's hand on the empty seat in front of Hiyori, and said "So, just call me my name as usual."

Mawaru lowered her head and grabbed a chair with her hands, she immediately sat down with an embarrassed face because she couldn't read the situation. For a moment this cute girl who was nervous because of her mistake turned to Fuyuki and said a few words softly, "I'm sorry, Fu-fu-fuyuki."

"Why are you even so nervous?" Fuyuki thought in his heart, "Yes, don't do it again!" sounded shortly so awkward.

At the beginning of the class, there is an introduction program where all students have to mention their names, hobbies, and reasons for attending this school.

"When it's my turn, I'll say I want to go to school because it's close to home." That's what Fuyuki thought

But, he couldn't say it...

The biggest reason he entered high school was because of his father's will Abeno who served as the company's president Miyamoto and died four months ago.

****

That day, January 1, 2012.

The Day of Death of Toushiro Matsuda, Fuyuki's father. Just when he was 16 years old.

At 06.30 a.m., Fuyuki who had just woken up got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. After that, Fuyuki made the bed herself.

Fuyuki's daily life in the morning is just guarding the house. He has not attended school since graduating from Rakugaki Academy 2 years ago. At the age of 14 years, he gets the title as the best graduate number 1 in the Rakugaki.

________

Rakugaki is a place to house spiritual power users. People who have the potential to control their spiritual powers are guided and directed to have jobs that match their abilities. Usually, they are called RAIZU and divided by each division unit according to capabilities. Nine main division units regulate the stability of the Rakugaki. Other divisions such as executive bodies, medical units, and contractors are not tied to the main division, joined in special divisions. While the highest division in Rakugaki is the Zero Division with the code RAIZU-00. Zero Division Only has 4 members with the ability of each member equal to 1 Main Division Unit. One of them is Fuyuki Matsuda, who has an extraordinary level of intelligence and is the strongest ice element capable of freezing land. Unfortunately, its power should not be used carelessly in the real world and there is a special prohibition for the zero division itself from harming ordinary humans.

So far Fuyuki rarely uses his abilities to fight with someone. He becomes less sociable and only leaves the house when there is an interest or doing work from his division only.

________

After cleaning up, Fuyuki prepared the food as usual. When it went into the kitchen, accidentally bumped into her father out of the room dressed in a neat office, "I will leave office this morning?" Fuyuki asked Toushiro while looking at his father's cheerful face.

"Soon..." Toushiro cheerfully replied to Fuyuki's words. Then Toushiro sitting on the sofa turn on the television and watch the news in the morning today.

"It's better if you have breakfast first, and I will make a bento for you," Fuyuki very attentive to his father.

"Okay," replied Toushiro curtly.

He today looks happy, did he win the lottery? Or does the company's stock goes up? "Strange," thought Fuyuki who was still watching his father's movements.

During this time Fuyuki often saw his father's face which felt as flat as a wooden plank. Toushiro doesn't smile easily, sometimes he only smiles faintly, and never shows off his teeth, let alone laughs out loud, even people at the company say that he is a super cool director. But, today seems to be different...

The cold Toushiro was not much different from Fuyuki whose friends nicknamed boy icy.

With his cooking skills, Fuyuki prepared breakfast so well as if someone wanted to eat it voraciously. Not only that, the nice delicious cooking make a 24-year-old girl out of her room, she was Fuyuki's adopted sister "Ashina Miyamoto."

Their surnames were deliberately made different because Ashina was not Fuyuki's older sister, she was adopted by his mother since childhood while the Matsuda family only wanted real descendants, therefore there is a ban on adopted children not using their family names. Even though Ashina is not his real sister, Fuyuki already considers her like his sister but doesn't fully trust her because who knows, she can become a double-edged sword for her family.

"Isn't it time to leave?" Ashina said while looking at her watch.

"So true." Toushiro smiled while looking at his watch as well, then Fuyuki handed the two of them a box of bento.

"Thank you Fuyuki, today I will be home at 8 pm." Toushiro's message to his son who was left at home alone.

Fuyuki just drove them off in front of the house, they rode the car together and worked at his mother's Miyamoto company.

Toushiro as the main director has a special office, while Ashina is a field worker in the administration section. They have been busy with their respective jobs.

If just waiting for someone to arrive was boring, Fuyuki took the time to practice his skills.

When Fuyuki feels too long practicing, he paused and took a smartphone that is on a table near the practice sites. He immediately checked his smartphone who had been sounded signifying many incoming messages on his social media.

January 1st...

Oh yes, I almost forget the right thing! many "Happy Birthday" in incoming messages on his smartphone. In Fuyuki's heart "Today is my birthday." I should make a cake to celebrate my birthday along with my brother and father "When they are at home again!?" Fuyuki thought as he rushed towards the kitchen.

Without thinking Fuyuki made his birthday cake. The cake is polished and decorated with whipped cream with a pile of strawberries on top.

"It's finally done."

[Fuyuki Matsuda's Strawberry Shortcake, success!!]

Fuyuki was still waiting for the two of them to return. A sitting near the window saw the arrival of the car carrying Ashina and Toushiro, but they did not come earlier.

It was already 8 pm, "Maybe he forgot." Fuyuki muttered remembering his father's message while sitting waiting in front of the cake.

He looked back at the weather outside, cold.

Today it snowed heavily.

Fuyuki returned to the house.

Then...

1 hour later.

*Knock! knock! knock!

(heard someone knocking on the door)

"Sister, are you home!?" To his surprise, Fuyuki saw Ashina coming home with Mondo, Toushiro's trusted bodyguard.

"Yes."

"Where's dad?"

"He told me to go home first, then give this to you." Ashina handed a very large white box to Fuyuki.

Fuyuki boasted "Tch!"

"I don't feel good..."

Fuyuki placed the box received from Ashina in front of him, "Eh, what's the wrong Fuyuki?" asked Ashina surprised to see Fuyuki's demeanor suddenly turned cold with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Did my words make him angry?" inwardly Ashina, "If him to pull out strength it's can make end my life!"

"Mondo, take me to dad's place!" Fuyuki commanded him in annoyance for having waited so long for his father's return.

"What kind of sensation is this?" in Mondo's heart, "The air to kill him almost choked my neck!"

Mondo had no other choice but to comply with his wishes. Mondo rushed to prepare his car.

"Wait Fuyuki, maybe at this time father is still busy so just wait a little longer, it will come." Ashina tried to stop him because she couldn't bear to see his young brother out at night. After all, it was snowing heavily.

His eyes stared at Ashina sharply as if making numbness in an instant. "Brother, are dividing the relationship between me and my father." The harsh words of the younger brother deeply pierced the heart of his brother.

Making Ashina bowed and teary-eyed.

'Blaaam!'

Fuyuki closed the door with a bang, go wearing a thick coat, then enter the car and sat near Mondo who drove the car was.

"Hurry!"

"Yes."

Mondo was forced to increase the speed of his car.

________

A few minutes later, they arrived at the Miyamoto Company.

Fuyuki immediately looked for his father's office, accompanied by Mondo who had to patrol around the office at night and meet his employer again.

"This is his office!"

"Is my father here?"

"Yes."

Fuyuki knocked 3 times on the door no responses. Then Mondo touched the hinge of the door but the door was locked. Mondo broke it down, "Let's go inside!" and when they entered, the whole place was very dark. "Where's the switch?" Fuyuki asked while groping the wall nearby, immediately He turned on the light. The workspace was messy, with a lot of scattered papers and broken glass. On the work table was a laptop that was on, a piece of bread that was only eaten, and a cup leftover from drinking jasmine-scented tea. Fuyuki stepped slowly towards his desk and he saw Toushiro lying on the back of his work chair. One of the employees accidentally passed by saw the two of them enter the room, then the employee came in but the situation he saw made the employee shiver and his body trembled.

"He's not breathing anymore..."

Mondo asked the employee to call an ambulance and the police. Fuyuki could only testify to his father's death. Fuyuki refuses his father's body for an autopsy because he believes Toushiro died not because of a work accident but was killed. Toushiro's death makes Fuyuki believe that the incident was carried out by a spiritual power user, not an ordinary person. Therefore, Fuyuki did not want to involve more people and asked the police to begin an investigation in secret.

At that time one of the police found an envelope that, "For Fuyuki."

Mondo who was standing behind the police looked at it, "Oh, right...!"

"Master, come here," Mondo called out to Fuyuki.

"What's wrong Mondo?" said Fuyuki walked over to Mondo and Mondo to give the envelope he was holding.

Toushiro left a will for his son in his drawer.

In the will written by Toushiro, there were two things that Fuyuki had to live with.

The first: Fuyuki must attend Abeno High School.

The second: if both his parents died, Fuyuki had to inherit Miyamoto's company.

The highest authority or the CEO, the owner of this company at this time is Zakura Miyamoto, grandfather Fuyuki. He handed the position of Toushiro to Fuyuki, he believed that Fuyuki could run this company, the will could be used as a form of training for when he would inherit the company. Reluctantly Fuyuki had to accept it.
