Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 281. Towards the Night Before the Trials Started. 4
Xenon walks back to his place with the three teenagers from another world. He kept quiet and walked alone in front.
Kaito whispered to the Yuki brothers.
“Do you think he's okay?”
“I'm not sure, Kaito-san. I think their previous words were quite influential on Xenon-san”
“Then we should just ask him” Ryou proposed
“I don't think it's necessary. That's his personal problem, Ryou. If we interfere too much, it will not be good the result” said the brother
“So? Alright”
Xenon stopped. Seeing the person in front of him stop, the three asked.
“What's up, Xenon-san?”
“You have stomach pain?”
“What's left?”
“.....” Xenon is silent
For a while, nothing. Not long after, without looking at the three people behind him, Xenon opened his mouth.
“I hope you guys didn't think too much about Jessie-sama and Jene-sama's words just now”
“It's okay, Xenon-san. That's your personal problem. We also have a personal thing that we can't tell you entirely so it's okay”
“Thanks for the understanding”
“Sama-sama”
One word from Kino has made things better. In essence, Xenon wants to keep his privacy a little longer than the three teenagers from the other world.
They returned to Xenon's place to rest.
“Tonight you will stay here again? Aren't you going to be a tester tomorrow?” ask Ryou
“I told Kino this afternoon about an important thing I can't inform” yet
“Did it hit the two people you were with just now, Xenon-san?”
“It too. But other important things”
“It just so happens that the three of us also found something more important than you thought” Ryou continued
The two sat on the sofa and began to discuss.

In the Magic Council meeting room, all the captains including Rexa and Mark were present with all their files piling up.
“Algeria, is this everything?” ask Mark
“Already, Mark-sama. This is everything. Total membership is 540 people. Will be divided into 8 teams according to the room number obtained when registering this morning”
Lucas looks at each participant's profile obtained from registration.
Indeed, when registration was held, they did not write anything except names, but all of it was written with the magic system in effect so without realizing it by the prospective participants, all their backgrounds and abilities had been recorded.
While compiling a file based on room numbers, Alicia noticed something familiar.
“This...is not what we meet when we are in the plant labyrinth. Three people from another world who are close to Xenon”
Hearing that, everything except Emilia immediately stood up and looked at the three papers held by Alicia. Everyone was quite surprised by the content.
“Cosong?!”
“I think because they are from another world, so there is nothing written about them” said Rexa
“Or is there a magic-like thing that coats them so that their background is unknown?” guess Mark
Not long after, Emilia scrunched her forehead and spoke seriously.
“You should see the data of these four people also”
Emilia sorted the data of the four participants she found onto the table. How surprised they saw that the fourth data was also empty with no background and anything.
“What is this?” ask the confused Tatiana
“This is also the data of prospective participants who will take the exam tomorrow. Just like the three youths, the four of them also did not have anything detected by the magic system belonging to Academy”
“What do you think, Lucas-sama?” ask Algeria
Lucas saw the faces and names of the four.
“They..ras half elf ya”.
“Half elf?”
“True. It was not so noticeable, but those yellow and silver colored hair were colors that often appeared in the half elf race. Normal elves in this country normally have black, brown or reddish” hair
“That means they log in without mentioning the real name so it is unknown by the system?” Algeria guessed
“Emily, Xenon, Tatiana and I” replied Mark casually
“So. You three have to be careful. Rexa, if you meet Xenon please tell him this to”
“I understand”
Rexa looks worried. He held the brooch he was wearing.
‘Xenon, hopefully tomorrow you won't be involved with problem’
“Your members may need to be notified of this. For division members who become supervisors, please tell them all to do very strict supervision” Lucas orders
“We understand” answer everything
After compiling the files and successfully completing another report, everyone goes to their respective division rooms except Mark and Emily, who remain with Lucas in the boardroom.
“I've requested a copy of this data from Algeria. What do you think of these seven people?”
Emily and Mark took the paper.
“Emily believes in these three people. They were the people Emily met in the labyrinth that time and with Xenon's testimony today, Emily was sure they weren't bad people. The problem is these four people”
“How about you, Mark?” ask Lucas
Mark put back the paper he was holding onto the table and looked serious.
“I've never met any of those otherworldly explorers, but since Emily said all of that, I believe they're not problematic people. But I have to admit, these half-elfs unsettle”
“I'm sure we've missed something so we might have let something unpleasant happen”
“So, speaking of annoying things, this afternoon I met Lady Midford when I was just out of class with Emilia”
“Meet Misha?” Emily looked upset
“That arrogant girl still feels herself stronger than you?” ask Mark
“Entahlah. It's just that he's eager to meet Rexa. I think he wants to get his sympathy back”
“Huh! Emily hated him a long time ago. Why is the Marquis so stupid as to match his great son with such a selfish girl?! Though Rexa is more suitable with Emilia, right?” grouse Emily
“You are an 11-year-old who already understands the world of adults apparently” said Mark casually
“Emily this is a special 11 year old boy! It is also seen that she is a witch!”
“I understand. Your ability is indeed other than others, therefore you are given the privilege to enter the Magic School Academy at a young age”
Emily seemed happy to hear Mark's words. Lucas looked at the two people in front of him with a serious face.
“Because not all members of the division that I entered in the meeting earlier, I want you to do your duties as examiner as well as supervisor of the exam tomorrow”
“Despite the supervisor who helps you later, I give you special permission to do ‘heavy actions’ in case of unwanted things” exclaimed Lucas on both
“Aticipate you?” ask Mark
“True. My thoughts are the same as yours, I put a high suspicion on these four people”
“Should I wear the Artifact I have?”
“Sure. ‘Heavy action’ kuizinkan and all that will be my responsibility”
“Alright then”
“Emily, if there is any information you can get, please directly distribute it to others at that time also”
“Understanding”
Lucas stared at the seven files on the table.
‘It seems that tomorrow will be an uneasy thing’

Meanwhile, the three teenagers from another world were having an important meeting with Xenon.
“Xenon-san, we would like to discuss an important matter regarding an issue that might help you” said Kino
“An important thing?”
“This relates to the perpetrator who kidnapped all the missing people and it has to do with the events in the past”
Xenon was surprised to hear that. Without further ado, Ryou who already looked serious began to open one by one the important things they had obtained.
“Xenon, I didn't know you were aware of any of this or not. But if you connect all the stories and events that you have told us, then everything fits”
“Regarding the perpetrator involved and the possible mastermind behind all this, we have simply found the connecting thread”
“What do you mean–”
“The culprit is within the noble family and the parties involved are the half elven race and beastman”
