Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 314. A Little Tension After the Exam
In room 2, when all participants come out after the exam…
Ryou easily approached Xenon and the twins while holding his hand.
“You, come with me briefly”
He immediately pulled her out. Unbeknownst to the two, they were followed.
**
In the hallway of the corridor, they continued walking away from the previous examination hall. Ryou does not slow his way at all, making Xenon keep asking Ryou to stop letting go of his hand.
“Ryou, let go first. I'll listen to you so you better let go now”
Ryou's footsteps stopped. However, he still had not let go of Xenon's hand. Right now, Ryou's hand was getting harder and harder, which made Xenon start to get confused.
“Ryou, why are you?”
Ryou's hand took Xenon's wrist off and he looked up at him while looking at the examiner.
“You see what the shitty participant did number 112! He almost cut you off earlier!” grouchy Ryou
“I know. I told you about that. Why discuss it again? Besides, I told you not to do or say anything of the sort. Don't tell me you said that to the participants yourself?”
Xenon's guess was accurate. Ryou had previously blatantly asked about the half elves and the participants' plans to harm Xenon.
Ryou tried to cover it with lies.
“I didn't do it”
“Long. You think I don't know your nature? We just got to know each other, but from the way you handled things with that spicy mouth you had, I could easily guess that you just said that to the point”
“....” Ryou was speechless to hear it
“What? Why silent?” Xenon was confused
Ryou murmured, ‘It turns out here there is also a sentence term to the point yes. Wow!’
Now, Ryou muttered in his heart instead of thinking about something useless at all. Marvelous.
Returning to the point now, Ryou finally could not dodge after getting the sentence just now.
“I..”
“What?” Xenon is still waiting for Ryou's explanation
“I told him about the killing aura I felt with Kino and Kaito. He gave off the same aura as the one we had at the time we finished registering yesterday”
Xenon was in disbelief. He did not know whether to yell or get angry at his magic disciple.
“You...bo–...forget”
His intention was to swear the word ‘boh’ on Ryou earlier, but not so because it will be fatal later.
‘Don't get into a fistfight with him here. Can be critical if there are students or other participants who know we both know each other’
Xenon controlled himself and asked quietly.
“You said you immediately asked, no. You said you directly told him about the aura to participant number 112. Then, how did it respond to your words?”
“She's kind of unhappy and says that I'm accusing her. But I can't stand the aura he has! I'm pretty sure that he did target you from the start, Xenon!”
Ryou still continued his sentence, “Luna and Piero, the number 99 and 50 participants that you passed explained all the contents of the fight to me”
“With an explanation from them, I also directly told the half elf that he deliberately wanted to kill you but as if it was a crash”
“He was evasive to the end, but I feel like he almost killed me earlier” too
“At first I tried to look at his psychology and pay attention to every detail of his look and expression. Maybe he'll be lured”
“But it was you who lost control. Sloppy base” Xenon could only sigh shortly afterwards
Ryou started to think for a moment and asked Xenon.
“He wants to kill you. Even if you want to find information like you told me before, isn't that too dangerous?”
“Ryou..”
“The point of this issue and everything that happens in this country is a conspiracy that was started by a war that occurred 50 years ago. You are also exposed to magic that can seal memories. You may have remembered everything, but what about the others?”
“Xenon, this is an insider conspiracy and nobles are involved in it. Me and my brother and Kaito will probably help you find the mastermind of the party who helped these rebels from within academy”
“But we also don't want you to get hurt later. Kino and Kaito I'll tell you about this”
Xenon saw Ryou, “You know what?”
“On you who are the target of the intruder and about the intruder. I already know what half elf's face looks like and I'm sure she came along with her friends for the same purpose”
“I suggest not to discuss this first here, Ryou”
“But this is important. You must see from your side of safety!” Ryou tries to convince her back
“I understand. But I suggest we don't talk about it now. We can talk about this after we finish” Xenon said
Ryou just nodded. As Xenon smiled, Ryou's facial expression was surprised to see the twin brothers coming after them.
“Two of you!” yell Jene
Xenon looked back and glanced at Ryou afterwards. Ryou understands the meaning of the glance, which is meant to address nothing to Jessie and Jene.
“You two, why does it look like you have such an important affair? What are you guys talking about?” Jene wanted to know what the two were talking about
“Nothing. It's just a thing that has nothing to do with you two. Stop meddling” replied Ryou ketus
Jene seems unhappy with Ryou's remark and replies.
“This is my business as well since she is my sister-in-law”
“New candidate yes? After all, even your in-laws' personal business is not a business you should know about. Hence, I said stop meddling”
Jene became emotional, yet she did not want to waste her energy. He immediately asked his sister-in-law.
“Xenon, you owe me an explanation”
“Jene-sama, this is not important. Better not to dispute this. Besides, I also don't want to say my personal things to you guys. This is my personal business with Ryou. I beg you to understand”
“Why? Are we so unbelievable to you?! We're friends, right?”
Jessie approaches her fiance and tries to talk to him.
“Xenon, are you sure you don't want to tell me?”
“This is really not an important thing, Jessie-sama”
“But, Xenon and the kid are like hiding something. You guys just left last night. Jene and I will help you, whatever it is”
“Thank you for your good intentions. I'll tell you if I need help. For now, I can still try a little harder again”
Xenon immediately left the twin brothers and Ryou. Jene called out to him, but he didn't look. Ryou heaved a heavy sigh.
“Why?!” ask Jene cynically
“Listen, I don't know how complicated your relationship is. But I'll tell you something about his attitude”
“Do you know something?” Jessie asked curiously
Ryou said the unexpected.
“He was so because he didn't want to involve anyone. Supposedly, if you're really his friend and fiancee, appreciate it. You won't get his trust if you keep forcing him”
“If you want to help him, you should do it secretly or at least.Stop forcing him to tell me”.
Jene is upset and approaches Ryou. With her cynical gaze, she asked “Tau did you hit her?!”
“I don't know anything about him because we only know him for about three days. But, I know that he tried his best not to trouble anyone”
“More, he who always considered himself low was very concerned about the people around him”
“You who have known him for a long time should know, why he can behave like that and why he considers himself so low in the eyes of others”
Ryou leaves the twin brothers.
From this, Jessie and Jene realize that there is a great wall that Xenon built for them.
