Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 278. Towards the Night Before the Trials Started. 1
Time goes by so fast. The afternoon finally turned into an afternoon and at the Magic School Academy, Xenon with Jessie and Jene came out of a room that read ‘Special Division’.
They walk down the corridor. His facial expressions looked mediocre or rather they did not give the answer they wanted.
“Why did Mark-sama not say anything to us even though we have asked many times about the culprit?” Jene sounded like she was grumbling
“I understand, Jene. But, we can't force Mark-sama to say it. Moreover, what Mark-sama explained to us is already quite”
“But I'm still curious. Although his team managed to bring evidence, but if they still kept something from us, it was the same as if they did not believe in us! We are also members of the Division of the Magic Council!”
Xenon stop.
“Xenon?”
“I think there might be something that is still uncertain so they can't say that to their other members”
“It! I guess so. Jene, how? I guess what Xenon said was true”
Jene could only sigh and give in. He already knew that his twin would not side with him if it was related to his fiancee.
They decided to really get out of the school building now.
“So, what's the business just to meet Mark-sama?” ask Jessie to Xenon
“Not. Meeting Mark-sama was not part of my business at the beginning. I have an inexplicable affair with Jessie-sama and Jene-sama”
“Why can't it? You don't consider us friends huh?” jene Chirps
“Not so. But not everything has to be told to someone else. In addition, this concerns my personal problems, not things that must be known by many people including friends even though”
Xenon's words seem very alienating. Because of that, he always tried to keep his distance with his noble family or other friends.
‘The fact that I am a child born from the illicit affair of Marquis van Houdsen will never change. At the very least, never embarrass Rexa-sama who will be the next Marquis’ Xenon thought
When he reached the lobby, Xenon was eager to escape from the twin brothers. But it seems to be difficult because before and after leaving Mark's room, Jessie continued to hold and hug Xenon's hand.
‘I have to think. If those three people were already in the place this morning and saw me like this, I would really be laughed at!’
Before exiting the lobby, Xenon stopped once more.
“I'm really busy and don't mean to be disrespectful, can't you guys let me take care of my problems?”
“No! You promised yourself that we could come. Remember yes, you still owe Jessie an apology!”
“Haah, yes already. But if you dare to speak strangely, I will not hesitate to ask Jessie-sama and Jene-sama to come back here”
“We won't embarrass you, we promise!” Jessie seems completely unwilling to separate from her fiance now
The girl's eyes looked very serious, as if there was no way that could make her leave.
Xenon tried to smile, but in his heart he said something that was the opposite of his smile.
‘Death to me’
Arriving near the gate, he did not expect to see anything unexpected. One of them looked at him while carrying a grocery bag.
One of them shouted.
“Xenon!” the teenager shouted
“......!!” Xenon could only be in shock right now
“Xenon, someone called you in front of the school gate. Is that your friend?”
“Let me” mumbled slowly until no one heard him but himself

The three teenagers from another world finally decided to sit in one of the chairs near the shopping area around the academy building.
Ryou is still grumbling by himself.
“I want to go back to the store earlier, why are you guys blocking me?!”
“If Ryou makes trouble again, Kaito-san and I won't help you”
“But I'd love to make that fat guy not talk much!”
“Ryou, you need to calm down. Listen to me, we're not here to get into trouble. After all, with the magic that exists today, we can fight without weapons. Isn't that right, Kaito-san?”
“True. You guys are good enough for me”
“.....” Kino can only silently look at the face of the sister with a strange look. Not long after, he began to speak inwardly.
‘If we manage to return to Japan and I tell Ryou's behavior to father and mother, they will definitely punish him’
They just he's a few hours without doing anything. Kaito looked at his pocket watch.
“It's almost five in the afternoon. Xenon said we could wait for him in front of the academy if we wanted to stay at his place, right? Want to get there now?”
“I think so. I'm tired of sitting here doing nothing. We go there now”
Ryou stands up and walks in front leaving Kino and Kaito. Just a few steps away, he smelled a familiar scent.
“Beat” aroma
“This is what we ate this morning, right?”
“How? Want to buy it?” ask Ryou
“I'm not hungry. But, we might be able to buy it for Xenon-san. Anyway, we owe him a lot”
“For him not to be suspicious, I will buy for our part as well huh. Well, although we probably won't eat either because we can't feel hungry here” Ryou said making an excuse
“I agree”
They were eating the food together. When the bread was obtained, Ryou took the bag of bread with him. The three teenagers started walking towards the Magic School Academy.
From a distance, there were some students who started to come out of the building. But of course, no one approached the gate.
“They must have stayed in dorm” Kino said
“If we pass and make it inside, we will also stay inside. Opportunity to search for gems will open bigger” Kaito added
Ryou sees someone who is no stranger to him, “That's Xenon right? Which is taken by girls”
Kino and Kaito looked. Without a second thought, Ryou with his grocery bag shouted out to him.
“Xenon!”
The one called out looked like it was in complete shock.
“Why is he so? What's wrong with her?” ryou asked confusedly at the older brother
“Entahlah. Wait until Xenon-san gets here”
They waited for Xenon and his two friends to come to the gate.
“Xenon-san, good afternoon”
“Sore. Have you been waiting?”
“We just arrived. We bought this for you”
Kino looked at the two people beside Xenon. ‘They look like royalty to me. Is it possible that the two of them are also members of the same Division as Xenon-san?’ thought in the heart
The three teenagers from another world saw two friends Xenon had similar faces.
“Twin?” ask Ryou
“Xenon, do you have any business with them?” ask the young man beside her
“True. That's why I've told you that I have business. Now believe and still want to come?”
“We still want to come!” said the girl who hugged his hand
Ryou started smiling with a strange face.
“So, is that your girlfriend?”
“This–”
“I'm not her boyfriend. I'm Xenon”'s fiance
“Eh?” the three otherworldly teenagers finally could only see with flat faces
“This is my fiancee, Jessie Rottenburg”
