Chapter 43 - Chapter 42: The Book

One day, a boy named Hiro was walking through the school garden, admiring the beautiful plants and flowers. He loved spending time in the garden, away from the stress of school and the bullying he faced from his classmates.

Hiro was not one of the popular kids at school. He was a quiet boy who kept to himself, and this made him a target for the bullies. They would push him around, call him names, and make fun of him at any given opportunity.

As he walked through the garden, something caught his eye. It was a small book buried under a pile of dirt. Hiro picked it up and examined it closely. The book had no title or author, and the cover was worn and tattered. But as he flipped through the pages, he realized that it was no ordinary book.

The book was a mysterious one, and it had the power to make anything written in it come true. Hiro couldn't believe his luck. He had always dreamed of being able to get back at his bullies, and now he had the power to do so.

Hiro took the book to his room and spent the whole night reading it. He learned that he could write anything he wanted in the book, and it would happen in real life. He could make his bullies disappear, make himself popular, or even make himself rich.

Excited about his newfound power, Hiro decided to put it to the test. He wrote the name of his biggest bully, Takashi, in the book, and wished for him to disappear from school forever. The next day, Hiro was surprised to find that Takashi had not shown up to school.

Hiro was ecstatic. He had finally gotten his revenge. But as the days went by, he started to notice something strange. Every time he wrote in the book to punish one of his bullies, he would wake up the next day with scratch marks on his body, marking how many bullies the spirit had punished.

At first, he thought it was just a coincidence, but as he continued to use the book, he realized that the scratch marks were not just random marks. They were a sign that something much more sinister was happening.

Hiro became obsessed with the book, using it every chance he got to punish his bullies. He wrote in the book to give them diseases, make them fail their exams, and even have their families turn against them. But every time he did so, the scratch marks on his body increased, and he began to feel weak and tired.

Hiro soon realized that the book was not just a tool for revenge. It was a dangerous artifact that was slowly consuming him. He tried to stop using it, but he couldn't resist the temptation to get back at his bullies.

One day, Hiro was caught by one of his teachers using the book. The teacher took the book away from him and told him to never use it again. Hiro was relieved to be free from the book's hold, but he knew that he had to make amends for the harm he had caused.

He decided to write in the book to reverse all the damage he had caused. He wrote that all his bullies would be forgiven, and that they would become kinder people. The next day, he woke up to find that the scratch marks on his body had disappeared, and he felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before.

The book was never seen again, and Hiro never spoke about it to anyone. He had

learned a valuable lesson from his experience. He realized that revenge was not the answer and that using the power of the book for personal gain had severe consequences. He understood that his actions had caused harm to others, and he was determined to make amends.

Hiro made a conscious effort to be kind to his former bullies. He apologized for his behavior and tried to make amends for the harm he had caused. He even befriended some of them and learned that they had been going through their struggles, just like him.

As time passed, Hiro's life improved. He was no longer a victim of bullying, and he had learned how to deal with his problems in a healthy way. He had become a more compassionate person and had gained a new perspective on life.

Years later, as Hiro walked through the school garden, he remembered the book. He wondered where it had come from and why it had been buried in the school garden. He knew that the book was too powerful to be left in the hands of anyone, and he was glad that it was never found again.

Hiro had learned that true power came from within, and that the power to change one's life was already within them. He had learned that revenge was never the answer and that kindness and compassion were the keys to a happy life.

In the end, Hiro had found peace within himself. He had learned the valuable lesson that sometimes, the things we desire may not be what we need, and that true happiness came from being at peace with ourselves and others.

Good Hills High School in Kyoto remained a peaceful place, where students could learn and grow without fear of bullying or harm. And although the book had been lost to time, its memory remained a cautionary tale for those who sought power at any cost.

In conclusion, the story of the mysterious book in Good Hills High School in Kyoto teaches us that power comes with responsibility. It teaches us that the things we desire may not always be the things we need and that revenge is never the answer. The story shows us that kindness, compassion, and forgiveness are the keys to a happy and fulfilling life.
