Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 263. The Exercise That's Almost Over
Kino took in a deep breath and cast out a large-scale magic.
[Water Art: Big Wave Tsunami]
“I beg you to stop now”
The river water behind him began to rise upwards and no one thought that Kino would directly lower all the waves of the river that raised it towards everything.
Ryou who is still attacking and Kaito who is running to catch up with Ryou stops and sees the shadow near them turning dark.
As soon as they looked, both were shocked.
“Hah?!”
“Ki–Kino..”
The waves that were about to be lowered seemed ready to greet everyone. From behind his high beam wall, Xenon felt a vibration that was no less intense.
“I can't believe they got this far”
The block wall was removed by Xenon and when he saw what greeted him in front, he immediately put on a flat face.
“Ah..”
Kino seems to have wanted to stop all that so he did not hesitate to lower the water waves and turned into a tsunami.
“Short….Kino, no...brulp...brulp.
Before Ryou finished speaking, the water had already wiped the three people clean. Except for Kino, the three people ended up getting wet and had to receive a warm welcome from the river water in large quantities.
Xenon seemed to no longer want to continue this so he used the last means.
[Magic Jammer]
All the magic was gone, even the water that still looked like a tsunami came suddenly subsided.
“Airnya..sort?” Kino was surprised
From a distance, Ryou who had just finished with his sinking drama immediately stood up and quickly ran towards the older brother.
“Kino!! Kino, are you okay? you all right? Your leg hurts, doesn't it?!”
“Ryou, I'm good–”
“Xenon! I still haven't forgiven you!” yelled Ryou who was still tightly holding onto the older brother
Kaito tries to dry his clothes, while Xenon sees the results of the actions of the three otherworldly teenagers.
‘Kino water magic is quite strong. It seems that it is also Water Art magic. Right too, isn't he hurt?’
Xenon immediately ran up to Kino. Just sprinted a few steps, a ready sword ‘kissi’ Xenon's neck with the cool eyes of its user.
“Still want to hold another one-sided massacre or is this the end of the fight under the guise of training?” Kaito stared at the cynical Xenon
“Kaito-san!”
“Backdown Kino, he can no longer be considered a friend. You still owe me for hurting.wait a minute” Ryou looked towards Kino and his legs. “Kino..your leg..”.
“The injured leg is healed, don't worry. Kaito-san, put down the sword”
“True, Kaito. Lower your sword now and let me congratulate you for mastering your own elemental magic”
Those three otherworldly teenagers could only remain silent without saying anything. In his wet clothes, Xenon sat on the ground with the three teenagers. The two of them put on a sinister face with real swords and bamboo swords in hand.
“I'm sorry I crossed the line. I'm sorry” Xenon lowered his head
“You think you can apologize so easily like that after barely making us die and injuring my brother?!”
“Ryou...” Kino tried to calm her sister
Kaito is still a little upset by Xenon's actions, but he is more interested in the wound on Kino's closed thigh.
“Kino, you said your wound was closed. How can?”
“I..”
Kino explained everything to them and the faces of the three people listening changed. From the flat then a little surprised, became even more surprised until they were shocked until they opened their mouths.
Xenon immediately stood up and pointed at Kino's face.
“You can use healing magic from elemental magic?! Why didn't you tell me from the beginning!”
“Magic...healing? What is it?”
“Gosh, for the sake of my grandmother who is in heaven..if this is the case, I don't have to worry about beating the three of them..”.
“What did you say earlier, huh?!” Ryou immediately stood up and pointed at Xenon with his bamboo sword
“”Haa~begini young. Your elemental magic is included in the magic group called [Spiritual Art Element]. Everyone has at least one to two magic like this and such magic cannot be possessed by anyone else”
“What is it? Briefly explain!”
Xenon explained in detail.
“Remember the magic I used? [Earth Art: The Ruler of Pebbles] and [Earth Art: Bottomless Shifting Sand]? It was magic that entered in the [Spiritual Art Element]. The basis of that technique is emotion, strength of determination, desire and mental-related things as well as feelings”
“Two magic I wore earlier I got when I first trained alone like a madman in my family's private forest. Keep in mind, both magic is only I have it”
“In other words, no one besides me has magic [Earth Art: The Ruler of Pebbles] or [Earth Art: Bottomless Shifting Sand]. Therefore, all magic that has the back word [Art] is special”
Until here they understood the meaning. Kino makes it clear.
“So, the magic [Water Art: The Ruler of Waterfalls] that I took out last night is also only owned by me?”
“True. Ryou's magic just now too. If it's not wrong [Fire Art: Prominence Flame], right? It was created from Ryou's anger. Therefore, only he is the one who has it”
“No [Spiritual Art Element] is the same in this magical world. There is only one and only he is an owner”
“Because of that, I was surprised to see you guys have so many [Spiritual Art Element] appearing. You guys must have a strong attachment”
Xenon looked towards Kino and lowered his head.
“Sorry for hurting you, Kino. But finally you know that people from other worlds have potential that I have never seen”
“No problem, Xenon-san. Thanks to you, we managed to understand everything. If it wasn't for Xenon-san, we probably wouldn't have understood how magic itself works”
“I know you're good, Kino” Xenon smiles at Kino
But, it seems that Xenon's smile doesn't have much influence for Ryou. He was still upset with Xenon and his attack on Kino.
“You think your explanation will make me forgive you? I'm still not satisfied if I don't make you apologize to Kino until I forgive you!”
“You're kidding me! Your brother has forgiven me! After all, I am your teacher! Dare to yell at me like that, brash student!”
Prepare for the third round of fighting. Ryou started the opening round.
“The self-styled teacher and the self-styled tester what a difference! There was no teacher in this world who nearly made his new student die into fresh skewered meat!”
“If not for my actions, it is impossible for you to be able to obtain magic with the [Spiritual Art Element] type. You don't understand how rare that kind of magic is, huh!”
“Fuck with rare! You just used an excuse to beat us up!”
“You want me to bury him alive in the ground?!”
“You want me to burn alive to maturity?!”
“.....” Kino and Kaito only watched the two
Thus, ended the Spartan training session with satisfactory results for the four of them.
After doing the drama for a few minutes, Ryou and Xenon finally finished with their third round war.
“You two are done?” ask Kino
“Already...completed..” Ryou said.
“Thank you already..mau be patient little” Xenon added.
“Good. Now, what else do we do, Xenon? This magic is already obtained, but we have not fully mastered it”
“Hmm. Then, we do as we did just once more. Mumpung y'all also can't beat me”
Apparently, the second half massacre under the guise of match practice will be re-done.

Elsewhere, Mark ran with his members to return to the Magic School Academy.
“Mark-sama, Earl Midford may have known this as well”
“I know that, but it won't scare me. Besides, I'm sure someone else behind Midford will show himself tomorrow. The person that the beastman was referring to was” Mark replied
Mark recalled something that happened a while ago before he continued his journey back.
***
Mark who had then managed to stab and kill the beastman began to dig up information.
“So, because he is already under my control.I want to hear what this corpse can tell me”.
Mark began to see the memories within the beastman. Inside there, there were only the same memories as he had seen in a foreign place last night.
“This place. So he was there and killed them too”
He looked back at other memories, there was someone he knew and someone else in a cloak covered. This time, it didn't look who he was.
‘It...Earl Midford. But who is he talking to? This person was there and acted as an eyewitness. But, it seems that he has not been able to show me a useful memory yet’ muttered inwardly
Just saying so, Mark heard an unusual unique conversation.
“In the entrance exam to be held, I want you to go and infiltrate the Magic School Academy. His goal was to seize the Artifact and kill the current chairman of the Magic Council, Duke Xelhanien”
“Good, we will execute your command. As long as you guys can really guarantee the well-being of our ‘nation’ like your promise”
“Take it easy. As soon as the royal family and all the nobles loyal to her began to collapse and disintegrate, we who would rule over everything”
The conversation just sounded there. One of those voices was the voice of Earl Midford and the other was unknown.
“So apparently”
***
Mark finished looking at all the memories from the corpse and put them into his Artifact weapon. He came back and put in those three golems as well. Everything disappeared like being swallowed by a magic weapon.
“Mark-sama!!” yelled out all the members of his division
As soon as they approached their captain, Mark with his red eyes turned cold and serious.
“We're back now. It seems the traitor was happy to play around with academy”
Upon hearing the captain's words, they finally returned. The sun started high and Mark's Special Division troops made it to the academy during the day.
