The beautiful delinquent

In a classroom at T-high school, a girl grumbled as her mind wandered while the teacher lectured. She had short silver hair, lapis lazuli colored eyes, and massive breasts. Many male students would frequently gaze her way, only to be met with angry glares. Jealous female students would shoot her menacing glares only to be met by an even more menacing glare from the girl.

"Ginkawa-san, the answer to this question?" the teacher asked.

"Who cares this shit isn't going to do shit for us once we graduate," the silver-haired girl growled.

Some students gasped while others snickered as the teacher angrily glared at the girl.

"And if you hate learning so much, then why are you here?" the teacher growled.

"4.738953," the silver haired girl smirked as she put her feet on the desk.

"GET YOUR FEET OFF THE DESK! SHOW SOME RESPECT!"

"Huh? I thought I did, now piss off and let me chill."

"HALLWAY NOW!"

"And that's why this shit is useless, you say the right answer and they kill you anyway," the silver-haired girl said aloud as the teacher dragged her into the hallway.

The girl was Reiju Ginkawa. A second year high schooler that hailed from the uber wealthy Ginkawa family. However, her life growing up had been rough. Her mother had given birth to her at age 15 and died a few days later. While she was raised in the luxury of the Ginkawa family, she was treated more as an outcast. Many in the family blamed her for the cause of her mother Yukino's death. Her grandfather, the head of the Ginkawa family, treated her coldly due to thinking her unknown father was a scumbag. While she was allowed to live in the nice luxurious Ginkawa mansion, she was given a meager allowance and would constantly stay out at cheap hotels just to avoid going home.

Once she entered middle school, she began displaying delinquent tendencies. However, she had also developed a stunning intellect as a way to get back at her family and society. Had it not been for her grades and family influence, she would have been expelled long before she got to high school.

Reiju growled in the hall as she held two buckets of water.

"Don't you dare use those for weight training! This is a punishment!" the teacher growled as he went back into the classroom.

"What? I can't develop my strength? Developing young talent my ass. This school only cares about producing little robots, well guess that's what that shitty old man wants, a nice little robot that won't disobey him. Ugh, I hate this place and my family," Reiju grumbled.

"Disrupting class again?" a voice rang out.

Reiju turned to see 2 female members of the disciplinary committee walk by.

"So what are you doing patrolling the halls Hoshi? I thought you had classes too" Reiju sneered.

"HEY! Don't bully me because I'm short!" the other members shouted.

"Sorry chibi, didn't see you and I'm only 158 cm so I assumed you weren't there."

"Do not bully Chiinatsu like that. Well you're already being punished so let us be off," Hoshi growled as she and Chiinatsu walked away. 

Suddenly the two slipped on a pool of water and fell down.

"Oops guess I'm so weak I let some water spill out of the heavy bucket," Reiju sneered.

Chiinatsu cried as she ended up soaked, while Hoshi glared at her wet sleeve.

"We're disciplining you with the paddle after school," Hoshi snarled as she and Chiinatsu walked away.

"Wow, flat out violence over spilling a little water. Plus that little koropokkuru is known for taking advantage of her size to claim people are "bullying" her and thus deserve punishment. That little bitch turns into a sadistic dominatrix as soon as she gets the paddle, considering how much pain she's given my ass, her falling on her ass in some water is nothing," Reiju ranted.

"No way, you really do look just like her," a voice rang out.

"Who the hell's there? get out before I hurl this shit at you."

"But I'm right in front of you."

"Huh? You pulling some ninja wall hiding prank?"

"No, ugh, Oh! Can you see me now?"

Suddenly, a young man with dark brown hair and glasses appeared before Reiju.

"What? So you have some high-tech camo suit? You some teacher trying to molest me or something?" Reiju grumbled.

"Huh? I'm not a teacher-"

"Stalker then?"

"NO! I literally just became a ghost today!"

"Ghost? Yeah right, that shit doesn't exist.

The man then suddenly passed through Reiju and the wall before returning.

"Well?"

Reiju went pale and dropped the buckets.

"KYAAAAH!" she screamed in fear.

Naturally everyone peeked out into the hall to see what was up.

"Oi Ginkawa, what are you screaming about this time!?" a teacher snarled.

"P-Perv," Reiju trembled as she pointed at the man with glasses.

"The hell're you pointing at? There's nothing there!"

"Huh? But he's standing right there! Green shirt, glasses-"

"Cease these pranks! Get back in class and sit in the back!"

Reiju grew paler as the ghost smirked.

"No way, ghosts aren't real, but I can clearly see him. Then why couldn't anyone else? It couldn't be something that I could only see from where I was standing, plus I felt a cold presence when he passed through me. Ugh!" Reiju anguished in her mind.

As Reiju went back to class, the ghost suddenly saw a vision in his mind.

"Could this be what Muramasa Jouzu mentioned about foresight? I have to let that girl know!" the ghost thought as he flew into the classroom towards Reiju.

"Huh? Why the hell is he here?" Reiju thought as the ghost sat at the empty desk next to her and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen.

The ghost then wrote something down before handing the paper to Reiju. To her shock, she could physically touch the paper, though what shocked her more was what was written.

"Outside, old school building, a girl will be strangled before being made to look like she hung herself with rope. The culprit will do this because the girl spotted them doing something wrong. The crime will occur in 5 minutes."

"The hell is this freaky note for? True, there is an old school building outside, but I don't see anything going on. Seriously though, what's with this paper? I can touch it, but I can't rip it or crumple it, nor does it seem to give me paper cuts. Ugh," Reiju groaned.

"Hmm? Why's she just staring at the paper? Maybe she's an idiot. Oh right, I should explain what all this is," the ghost thought as he wrote another note and passed it to Reiju.

""Sorry for not telling you how all this works. My name is Shiruka, perhaps you've heard of me through my works, Six chances at Love, Grouping of ghosts, One letter, Four very bloody sentences, and my shitty TV drama Yowie Hunt to name a few." Great so this is just- Wait, Shiruka? Wasn't that the guy who murdered a news anchor before killing himself 7 years ago? I don't really remember the guy's face, but I know my aunt's been babbling on about how some conspiracy theorist claims he was actually murdered," Reiju thought.

"Why'd you stop reading? There's more," Shiruka said.

Reiju reluctantly continued reading.

""Regarding the first note, apparently I am a ghost with perks and have been granted the ability to foresee crimes that will occur. I was also told that you would assist in solving these crimes." The hell is this? This has gotta be some elaborate prank by those asses in the science department. I bet they're still pissed that I topped them all on the exams," Reiju grumbled.

"No! I'm really a ghost! _! Look outside hurry!" Shiruka shouted.

Reiju turned to the window and gazed outside. To her horror a female student was dropped out of the second story window of the old school building with a noose around her neck.

"SHIT! SOMEONE'S GETTING MURDERED!" Reiju shouted.

Everyone naturally looked over to see what Reiju was screaming about.

"KYAAH! SOMEONE'S HUNG THEMSELF!" a female student shouted.

Even the teacher now had no choice but to take a look.

"Dammit! Everyone! do not crowd by the window! Remain seated and do NOT leave the classroom!" the teacher ordered as everyone immediately ran out of the classroom.

The teacher groaned and called the police.

Reiju ran outside along with the other students while Shiruka hovered alongside her.

"What the hell was that!?" Reiju shouted.

"I told you, I can somewhat foresee these things. Sadly that girl was already dead before she was strung out like that," Shiruka sighed.

"Well then doesn't that mean we'll be able to catch the culprit?"

"Not sure I think they have an escape route in place."

                                                                           ...

Reiju and her classmates stood at the base of the old school building and gazed up at the victim.

"No way, that's Miyabi-chan! She was the school idol!" a male student anguished.

"Why would she end it? I thought she was happy?" a female student trembled.

"Like I told you before, this is murder. Though it will be tough to prove it considering she was strangled and killed with the very rope used to hang her. You're only hope is to tell them the TIME you saw her get hung out of the window," Shiruka stated.

"Why me!?" Reiju asked.

"Because I'm a ghost, and telling the police the EXACT time she was killed would only put the suspicion on you."
