Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 243. Meeting Xenon and Teenagers from Other Worlds
Just then, the three otherworldly teenagers who were about to step into a place that would spend their money, were startled by an unexpected encounter.
“Huh?”
Ryou surprised. Same with the people they met.
“Three more?”
“Xenon...-san?”
For a while, such encounters in anime and manga that are in Ryou's memory occur. The difference is not a romantic meeting, but a meeting full of drama.
Ryou let go of that door handle and started yelling at the person in front of him.
“Why do I see you again?!”
“I should ask, why can I see you again? I guess I won't meet you guys for some time”
Nobody really thought they could meet again. But, it was more unexpected that there was someone from inside the restaurant who opened the door and reprimanded the four.
“Ehem!”
“Eh?” Ryou was surprised
“If you want to fight, you should not be in front of restaurants owned by others. Get out of here!!”
The drama closes with forced eviction by restaurant officials. The meal plan at the luxury restaurant was eventually cancelled. Congratulations on the money of the three foreign world teenagers.
The four walked in the city.
“I didn't expect to see Xenon-san back. Is there something?” ask Kino to start the conversation
“I just want to eat. In the hostel was not fun at all so I decided to go out and stay outside just today”
“Arama?”
“True. The School of Magic Academy implements a dorm system for each student and their teacher. I just went out and stayed outside after I finished doing my job. Think of it as a gift to myself. My division captain cannot forbid me also”
“So”
Xenon glanced towards Ryou.
“You already have magic energy. Do you have magic stones?”
“Hmm? Can you figure it out?” asked Ryou astonished
“I have a special magic on my eyes, [Eye Senri]. This magic can see other magic auras on objects in all the places I see. I saw your right hand has a red aura. I think you already have elemental” stone
“Hmm, so. But it's true. The three of us just got the money and bought fire element stones. It's just..”
“Only?”
“It was like asking me to sell one of my two kidneys”
“.....” Xenon was speechless to Ryou
They stopped at a simple restaurant. The four teenagers went inside and ordered food.
“Choose the one you like” Xenon said as he gave Kino his menu list
“Eh? Xenon-san?”
“I boughttraktir”
Hearing the word of the treaty, Ryou immediately quickly picked almost any food priced above 20 Penny Libra. Really a very child ‘understanding’ once.
“Ryou, it's rude” Kino warned the sister
“When else will we be treated to a meal like this?!”
Kaito only looked at Xenon with a serious face. It seems Xenon was also aware of that.
“There's something on my face?” ask Xenon to Kaito
“No. I just feel like you have your own problems today”
“Trouble yes? I don't think so but maybe. I'm just thinking about a lot of things”
“Speaking about many things, there happens to be things we want to ask you”
“What's the problem?”
While waiting for the food to come, the three told him everything that happened once they entered the Magic School Academy Building.
Kaito recounts his encounter with three strange girls in a plant maze back then.
“You met Emily-sama apparently”
“Emily-sama? Why call him by honorifics like that?”
“That's because Emily-sama is a member of the Magic Council of the Assailant Division. He is the last son and younger brother of the current chairman of the Magic Council, Duke Lucas Xelhanien-sama. He is still 11 years old, but about his fighting ability is superior to me”
“Hah?! 11 years?! She is only 11 years old?! Deserve his style of being arrogant once!”
Ryou looks annoyed. But they have not started the conversation, their food has come so the chatter is postponed.
Xenon saw what the foreigners had ordered and he immediately said to them.
Ryou who heard that answered him immediately.
“Sorry yes, originally we have no appetite so don't judge us with one eye so”
“Really? But your order does not show it”
“.....” no one wants to answer
In the middle of the meal, Xenon asked them again.
“Emily-sama asked you to enter his division if you managed to get into the school. Very unique. He was not someone who wanted to recruit just anyone. Do you have anything unique?”
“Unique yes..”
Kaito did not continue his sentence. He chose to eat what was in front of him. Xenon saw it as a rejection and did not continue the conversation. He turned to another subject.
“You have got the magic stone, that means you have information about the entrance exam?”
“For the terms and conditions we have heard. In addition, we heard that the test will put more emphasis on the practice of magic than knowledge. Is this all related to the thing that was earlier this morning?”
Kino could guess. However, to further clarify everything he started from asking things that are likely to be certain.
The reaction of Xenon does not change much. He didn't try to brush it off and didn't try to cover it up.
“There are a few problems that happened in this city and it all just started a few days ago”
“Genesis?”
“There are a lot of people who disappeared and we haven't managed to find them. It's like a kidnapping case but it's not like that. Their bodies or traces were not found. Not only young children, adults and parents also become victims of”
“Lost person case? Does it have anything to do with dangerous things? For example..magic?”
Kino's words were unexpected by Xenon. He felt that the person who was talking to him had good intuition.
‘He's quite sensitive apparently. I didn't feel the magic of his every move, but I knew that his intuition and his brain were quite perceptive. Besides, he's pretty calm. Unlike his sister who is like a person who has high blood’
What a detailed depiction of Xenon. It seemed that his eyes were so good at judging others.
Xenon gave them the answer they wanted.
“All cases are related to magic. But for the details I can't say”
“Why?”
“There are things I can't tell others. After all, it is part of our agenda and you foreigners have nothing to know
“So. We understand, Xenon-san. That's enough. Thank you”
The three otherworldly teenagers have learned that all these problems are related to magic.
Kaito asked Xenon.
“Is there any way for us to get other magic stones?”
“True too. I heard you guys bought the magic stone. How can you guys get money in a moment?”
Xenon's question opens up a new spirit for Ryou to tell. He told me in great detail what happened.
Xenon's face that initially looked so serious, over time turned so shocked and finally became filled with black aura.
“You guys..shall be apparently. But I'm glad you guys can buy a magic stone even if it's just one. I should have heard Ryou say about selling one of the kidneys”
“We are also shocked because the price can be so expensive like that” Kino said with a forced smile
“That's only natural because magic stones are produced a little every year. But, if you can't control it will also backfire for you”
“We've heard about it too. Now we just need to find a way to get money to buy other magic stones before tomorrow” said Kino with a sad face
“Although we don't know how to”
Xenon was silent for a while to finish his meal. Not long after drinking the water, he spoke.
“If you want, I can lend it to you. I happen to have another magic stone. Maybe you can use to take the entrance exam”
The three teenagers were silent. Ryou even dropped the meat that had already entered his mouth and asked Xenon.
“How much do you have?!”
“Not much. Only five pieces. If you want, I can lend it”
Now the three became so shocked to hear it. Ryou immediately held the hand of the young man he had just met tightly.
“Xenon, I'm glad I didn't make you an enemy and scolded you when we first met. Meeting and being close to rich people during the first meeting is indeed recommended for everyone. I'm seriously”
Xenon's expression became strange and looked at his hand with disdain.
“You. Release my hand. I'm not homo”
“I'm not either. I'm interested in your treasure not in you”
Now, Xenon felt that the three people he met were beginning to show abnormalities.
‘They were like non-villains the first time they met. But, I guess I should be suspicious of them now’
