Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 286. The Magic School Academy Entrance Examination. 2
In the academy, all the members of the division and the examination selection committee gathered in separate places.
Algeria gave some orders after it was finished with its word of greeting.
“Members of the Magic Council Division stand guard in their respective places while putting together all the necessary things by the committee”
“Testing women including captains please go to meeting room”
When Xenon was about to come out, his hand was caught by someone.
“Xenon!”
“Jessie-sama?”
“Where did you go last night? Where are you staying? Why not come back here?”
His face looks worried. The girl did not even look like she was going to release her hand from Xenon's. Plus, his twin brother was no less chatty than Xenon's fiancee.
“You are really happy to make trouble yes, candidate-in-law!”
“Jene-sama, I'm really sorry. But last night it was an important thing and I told you from the beginning that it was a personal thing
“Terlarah. Anyway today I will be watching you and–”
“Xenon”
Before Jene finished with her sentence, there was another voice calling out. It was Rexa who approached the three of them.
“Rexa-sama, good morning. Sorry today I came late”
Xenon doesn't want to talk about anything. He let go of Jessie's hand and left as soon as he finished greeting his captain.
“Xenon, wait!” Rexa is after her sister
From a distance, Mark walking with Lucas and Emilia noticed this.
“They still haven't improved huh?” ask Mark
Lucas sighed and replied to Mark, “It seems Xenon's heart is much harder to open since knowing who he is in the family”
“So. But I guess, they should stop that soon”
“Why?”
“I just feel that they should take care of each other. At least, so as not to end up like me”
Mark walked ahead of the two men.

Outside, Rexa catches Xenon's hand.
“Xenon, please listen to me”
Xenon had to stop. He looked up and spoke to Rexa.
“Rexa-sama, it's time I leave now. Rexa-sama also has a job to do, right?”
“Why is your attitude so cold? Can't you listen to me for a minute?”
“Is there anything else important to talk about on this exam selection day? If it is a matter related to family and personal affairs, you should please hold back first”
“Xenon...” Rexa looks sad and releases her brother's hand
Jessie and Jene who were looking at it from afar started to get anxious.
“Why is Xenon still unwilling to accept Rexa-sama after that incident? Aren't they so close? Jene, why?”
“Basic of that stubborn child” Jene cursed while looking at Xenon who walked away leaving them
In the meeting room, there were 26 people who became the selection committee, 8 of whom were examiners and the rest were examination supervisors.
Algeria gathered them all together.
“As already informed that you will be the examiner and supervisor of the course of the exam”
“Please see the list of participants and the room you must take care of. To maintain sportsmanship, I deliberately do not give any leaks to you regarding the terrain area on the post you keep”
Algeria handed them the paper. Xenon, Jessie and Jene were surprised by the list.
“This is right..”
“Aduh, why did you get that fool?” swear Xenon quietly while showing a displeased face
On the other hand, Emily and Mark get an unexpected entrant.
“Huwaa~fool!” shouts Emily
“What's up, Emily?” ask Alicia
“This is the kid Emily likes! She'll be in the room that Emily is guarding, Alicia!”
“Kid yesterday huh?”
While Mark is interested in the photos he sees now.
“Mark, what's up?” asked Lucas who was standing nearby
“He's on that list, right?”
“I'm not sure, but he's strong. Do you mind if I test it myself directly at full power?”
“I want no casualties even if you get rid of 90% of participants in your post” Lucas said with a smile
“I also won't make my boss depressed so just relax”
Lucas left Mark back. Everyone who has got the list and the room goes straight out to go to their respective posts.
Xenon still sees photos of the people on his list. Behind her, Jessie and Jene followed.
“In the room I will guard there are about 60 out of 540 participants huh? Not much but not a little also apparently” murmured slowly
Jessie and Jene approach Xenon.
“Xenon..”.
“Ya?”
“.....” both want to ask about what happened last night
However, it seemed like they had to hold back first. Jene turned the conversation in the other direction.
“You want to say something?” ask Xenon
“Se–as you know that one of your friends is on the list, right?”
“Then?”
“There are others who should be watched a little more closely again”
“Supervised more strictly? Which one?”
Jene opens next sheet, “This one”
Xenon looked at his picture. He's no stranger to that.
“Half elf?”
“In the list, here only contains names and photos. But last night, each division got their full data and this kid's data was empty”
“Cosong?!” Xenon was surprised
He was aware of the conversation between himself and the three teenagers from the other world. Xenon began to think seriously.
‘I have a little idea about this. Apparently so. I think he's the intruder I thought he was. Means the captains and other members already have suspicions about this participant’
‘There is a possibility that Kino, Ryou and Kaito also have suspicious data, since they are not from ‘world’. It seems, the Magic Council also has information that is no less important than mine’
‘But, I'll bet they still haven't remembered about that lost history. It means there is still an opportunity to exchange information with Mark-sama as the four of us planned overnight’
Jessie calling, “Xenon?”
“Ah! Ii'm sorry. Because there's business, I don't know anything. Thank you for telling me about this, Jene-sama. Is there anything else you know from yesterday's results?”
“There. But I doubt you don't know about it” Jene's getting cynical
“What does it mean?”
“You know that your three new friends are dimensional explorers...really so, right?”
Xenon fell silent at Jene's question.
“Jawab? You already know that and you're hiding something behind both of us, right? What was your business yesterday about this too? Is there something you're doing with them until you don't involve us?!”
Jene continued to shower him with questions, but Xenon just kept quiet without answering.
“Xenon, I beg you please answer Jene”'s question
“I'm sorry. I know you guys might find out sooner or later but I didn't mean to hide any”
“So right you've–”
“They are not from this ‘world’, but yesterday I only taught them magic because they want to get into academy”
“Hah?!”
Xenon had to lie. No, he wasn't lying but he wasn't telling the truth either.
“Yesterday I taught them magic again. I reported this to all the division captains at the Magic Council meeting of the Captains yesterday morning. Algeria-sama and Emily-sama are dragging me. You can ask that if you don't believe”
“Be–beg? That's why you didn't take me and Jessie?”
“Bar”
It seems that Jessie and Jene believe in Xenon and feel relieved.
‘I can't say anything for now, but since it's already been so I don't think it's a problem to say those three are explorers of another dimension’ thought Xenon
They walked back to the designated examination room.
From behind, there was a person staring at the cynical Xenon from a distance.
“I'll get rid of you, dirty blood. I will destroy your existence. That way, Rexa-sama will completely forget about your presence”
