Rexa was surprised to hear everything Mark said.
‘Xenon, is this how far you have struggled to solve the problem by yourself? Why not tell me?’
Resisting the pain in her head, Rexa still looked so regretful. However, everything Lucas said was not everything.
“I want to say something else to all of you”
“What's there again, Lucas?” ask Mark
“Galaktika told me that their goal is to enter this academy, in addition to targeting Artifact and killing me, he also targeted others”
“What?!” everyone except Mark was shocked to hear that
“Who is..is targeted other than Lucas-sama?” ask Tatiana
“Galaktika says Artifact's only current owner, Mark is one of a list of targets to kill. But he said the mission had failed”
Mark understood his point, “I think about the attacks the beastmen did before I came back yesterday”
Lucas continued his sentence.
“She said that Rexa van Houdsen was also on the target list.”.
“I?!” Rexa was surprised
Not only Rexa, everyone including Emily was also shocked. Mark could only look at their surprised faces.
“That's what he said. But it's not anymore. Rexa is no longer their target for a reason” Lucas continued
Rexa asked, “Why?”
“Because Galaktika says that you have the potential like Mark, could be one of Artifact” users
“I can...become an Artifact user? What kind of joke is that?”
That was the comment released by Rexa after hearing the words of Lucas. However, the thing that made Rexa and everyone in shock was after this.
Lucas said, “Maybe that's what you think, Rexa, but not for the Rebellenarmee. Besides, the real most dangerous situation is the one I will tell you”
“Rexa is no longer the target but Xenon van Houdsen is in my position. He is the next target of assassination”
BRAAAC
Rexa instantly stood up and kicked the table hard, leaving everything there in shock. Just like Rexa, they were shocked as well.
“Xenon..”.
“Is it a target for murder?”
Lucas asked everyone to calm down. Of course it can't be that easy.
“I can't possibly calm down if they're after Xenon's life! Whyyy?! Did that young man named Galaktika tell you why? Why should it be Xenon? What makes it a target?” Rexa began to lose her composure
As Lucas was about to speak, Mark cut him off first.
“Rexa, sit”
“I can't calm down! It concerns–”
“I know but you need to calm down now. Sit over. I will not repeat my words for the third time”
Mark's red eyes began to light up and Rexa was forced to follow him.
Mark sighed and said, “Xenon is under my protection now. He was in the name of Marquis Vermillion and the Special Division as the person to be protected along with Yuki Kino, Yuki Ryou and Kaito”
“Eh?”
Lucas asked Mark, “You did it yourself?”
“It's absolute, Lucas. I tied him up directly with [Crystal Promise]. I did it after we both exchanged all the information”
“This is to guarantee the safety of those three dimensional explorers and Xenon as the first person to establish contact with them”
“I didn't think it would be useful. I didn't know before that Xenon was the target of their murder either. So you don't have to worry, Rexa”
“Mark..”.
“At first I just wanted to tell Lucas and Emily all this. I can't believe Lucas has more information than me. So my intention is no longer useful. All right, I tell you everything here” continued Mark
Lucas just sighed lightly and smiled in praise, “Good work”
Rexa still did not feel completely relieved. He still has concerns about the safety of his brother.
‘Rexa, why is this? You should have been able to look after your own sister, but now Xenon has become a target for murder and you don't even know why. What kind of brother am I?!’
Although Rexa blames herself, it is not wrong.
In addition, indirectly, the Xenon problem is actually much better because Mark is already in charge of guarding Xenon.
“I'm sorry for being so careless, but I felt I needed to protect my source of information, so I decided to make a pact with Kaito. And since Kaito himself is worried about his colleague and magic teacher, I think Xenon should also I protect” Mark to continue his sentence
Rexa was silent without answering or commenting.
All the other members started a little better.
“How are you guys doing, is it still feeling dizzy?” ask Lucas
“It's better. Thank you for sharing this important information with us, Lucas-sama, Mark-sama” Algeria said
Lucas looks back seriously, “Now we will talk about his important issues. The intruders finally managed to enter through the official line which means we cannot directly kick them out of the academy”
“It takes a special reason to do it and even if we already know all this, to be honest I don't want the School Board to interfere in our affairs too far”
“More, I myself have guaranteed Galactica under the name of Duke Xelhanien”
“What?!” Alicia was surprised to hear that from her brother's mouth, “You're not kidding, are you, Lucas? Guaranteeing it under the name Xelhanien is tantamount to supporting it!”
“He's obviously after you and Xenon-sama now! Even if she has been in Emily's magic, it doesn't guarantee she won't lie!”
Alicia's statement was supported by her sister, “Emily agreed with Alicia, Lucas. Emily also refuses to make her free, therefore Emlily uses Emily's magic on her”
Reason's logical, but Lucas couldn't accept enter it.
“I'm sorry, I can't pull it back”
“Lucas-niisama!!” Alicia stood up to call her sister
“Alicia, sit. I don't want you to be the second Rexa who can't calm down. Your brother's not done talking” Mark asked the girl to sit down
“Mark...-sama”.
Alicia finally sat back down after getting a reprimand from Mark.
“Thank you very much, Mark”
“Live on, Lucas. You want to use Galactica to investigate the situation from within, right?” Mark guessed it
Everyone looked at Lucas with curious and surprised faces.
“Lucas...is that true?” ask Rexa
“True. Galaktika agreed to help me. With the assurance that I will help and help him, he is willing to help us find out more about the organization, their plans and move as a spy”
“I promised Emily to release her magic, too. Because of that, I'll actually ask Emily to do it”
Emily could only sigh heavily to hear her brother speak so.
“Haa~well, Emily understands. Emily's gonna do what Lucas asked. But that Galaktika will remain under Emily's supervision as well”
“No problem”
Emily disabled her [Final Countdown] magic.
[Nox]
The magic disappeared from the Galactics. Although Galactica doesn't know it yet, Emily does.
“Already. Emily did what Lucas” asked her to do
“Thank you”
Then Lucas spoke again.
“Now, I want to discuss next steps. I want you tomorrow, you guys be more alert. For this, while no one needs to know first”
“The more you know, the harder it is to make a move. The School Board is also still not aware of the identity of the four intruders that we already know. I'll rethink to make the decision”
“Completed from here, I want Mark, Rexa and Emily to stay”
“Understanding”
“Emily understands”
“I understand, Lucas. I also want to talk to you about something” Rexa saw Lucas with a serious face
“In the meantime, the only member who knows all this is Xenon van Houdsen because he was with all three dimensional explorers. I'll let the four of them in Mark”'s guard
“Now, let's postpone it first and let's talk about the test today. We'll reconnect once I hear a brief report from you. Even if I know everything directly, I want to hear your opinion also”
When Lucas said that, Emily was just about to see something. In his eyes, it was like there were the figures of Kino and the others.
That was the figure of Kino and the two others sitting under the tree near the river. Without saying it to anyone, Emily finally turned quiet and seemed to be thinking seriously.
In fact he was looking at Kino and his two other friends from a distance.
‘It turns out to be true what Mark-sama said. Kaito already knows and now they are exchanging information’
‘Although Emily could not hear everything that was talked about by them, but their location could be heard very clearly. Maybe when we meet again tomorrow, Emily will put a tapper magic on her’ he murmured in his heart
At the moment, Lucas is talking about today's exam and the agenda for tomorrow. Unknowingly, Emily who was watching suddenly let go of talk.
“So apparently. It's catchy. Thank goodness everything can be instantly known like this”
It seems Emily thinks the three of them already know each other all the information Kaito got from Mark. He's quite happy.
“Emily, what's up?” ask Lucas
“Nothing. Please go back, Lucas. Emily will pay attention back”
Lucas just shut up and led the interlude meeting back, while Emily stayed on what she was doing now.
‘Emily will install tapper magic on Kino. Just look’
