Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 418. History of the Past. 1
It had only been half a day that they had become disciples in the academy and it seemed that the three teenagers from the other world were acting fast.
Not allowing themselves to be stuck for too long and trying to solve the serious problems faced by their magic teacher, Xenon, it seems that they are forcing the days to pass by with no ease.
Inside the room, it was still the same as before. Cold, that's how it feels. Moreover, while heading here, they also passed through a long hallway that was lacking in light but had the same marble floor that the floors of the Magic School Academy had.
Xenon looked surprised to see everything there.
“How can there be a place like this and I don't know it at all?”
That's the word that came out of his mouth.
“Yesterday we found this place when we entered the tower-shaped library that we told you about” Ryou said
Xenon looked around.
“There is nothing but simple things. But the book you are referring to is.” Xenon looks towards the book. “So the book was ya”
Kaito replied, “That thing is a little suspicious for us”
“You think it's Artifact, so you mean Kaito?”
“True. It's weird that it's here. Kino thinks it might be Artifact. You yourself said that there was an Artifact stored here, right?”
Xenon watched the book closer, but he did not carelessly do so.
[Eye Enri]
Those magic eyes were used to detect something that might envelop the place. The magic that was active to welcome the intruder or all of them, might just be there.
“This is weird..” he said while looking surprised.
“Why, Xenon-san?”
“There is nothing here”
“What does that mean?”
“No magic to detect intruders or active transparent magic circle. I'm not surprised you guys can get into this place and get out without making a” noise
Kino and Ryou look at each other. Ryou even started to suspect now, “Means this room does hold something and the academy is so confident in its security level”
“It's just weird, Ryou. Moreover, the three of you have the thought that it is an Artifact. Artifact's classy thing is impossible without guarding” Xenon's edge breaks Ryou's thinking
Regardless, the fact that Xenon found nothing defensive was true, which meant that the place was so safe for anyone to enter. Even if the person is an intruder.
“It is very easy if indeed the book inside the crystal ball is Artifact and placed without guard so” said Kaito
The book shines a little.
The light was small and showed nothing. But the longer it shines.
It is still not realized by the four.
They were still too busy figuring out the room and objects in the crystal ball while fussing about the strange things about the guard.
“Already, we have already made it in and I doubt anyone is aware” Ryou said as he approached the crystal ball. “We are already here and all will be fine”
Xenon thought for a moment.
‘I didn't know there was a place like this. If Lucas-sama's [Area Zero] magic could detect all the secluded places in the entire corner of the Academy, he should have known about this place’
‘There is no information about this. Is Lucas-sama and the others hiding this or..indeed no one knows?’
Xenon approached the transparent crystal ball and noticed the details of the strange book inside.
‘This book...is this thing Artifact?’
Just as Xenon was about to touch the ball, suddenly the light grew brighter and covered all the four of them.
“What is this?!”
“Xenon-san!”
“Oi, Xenon! You want to kill us all?!”
“What happened here?!”
As they were busy shouting, the light turned white and now, an unfamiliar scene was visible.
***
A scream that sounded so heartbreaking.
“I won't forgive you all!”
“You will pay for everything, vile humans!”
“We will not forgive you all! Even if hell drops all its fire on us, this grudge will be brought on by us until you are not left!”
Some of the dead were hanged. They were forcibly dropped in front of a tall pole displayed by many.
One thing in common back then, those who were hanged were half elves and beastmen. There is a figure who saw all that besides the millions of people there is a leader. His face was no stranger to those who knew him but foreign to the three young men from another world who saw.
“What is this?”
His fourth face was pale. Not without reason why they are like that. It was because they became one of the people who would soon be hanged.
Their clothes were exactly the same as those who had been hanged.
Kino looked pale and felt her legs so heavy. The sound of chains at his feet made him realize and how shocked he was.
“What is this?! Handcuffs?!”
“Why will we be hanged?!” ryou shouted with his hands tied to heavy handcuffs
“This is not true. Something is not right here”
“Obviously this is not true, Kaito! Why can you still talk like that?! Oi, what does this mean! Why are we handcuffed and put to death!” yell Ryou
Instantly, Ryou felt a punch on his face that made him fall.
GIBBOSHE
“Argh!”
A warrior with a dragon race grabs Ryou's fallen hair. Kino was clearly hysterical with the treatment the younger brother received.
“No! Don't hurt my sister! Ryou!”
BUUUK
“Aaakh!” Kino yells
Now Kino is hit and kicked in the stomach. Ryou who was grabbed at that time can still scream and rebel to see his brother treated like an animal.
“Don't dare touch my brother! Goddamnit! Move aside, trash!”
Ryou hits the hand of the soldier who grabbed him with both hands perfectly handcuffed to save Kino.
Kaito and Xenon also rebel to save them. But what power, their hands and feet were handcuffed with a hefty weight of iron.
Being able to move like that is already a proud thing.
They were eventually beaten by some soldiers. Successfully rendering the four unable to fight back and battered, the soldiers dragged them inhumanely.
The necks of the four of them were tied by ropes and prepared to be dropped.
It was strange, but the four of them were like shouting something while at the gallows. This happened right before they met their end.
This sentence was a sentence that was not spoken because of the wishes of the four of them but like something else forced them to say it.
“I'll curse you!”
“You will die! Fuck everyone who is being holy!”
“We will curse you and this kingdom! We will curse Lucario and her descendants!”
“This country will be destroyed in the hands of the half elves and beastmen! You will regret all your prayers!”
- CREEK
They were dropped and finally the four of them no longer spoke. They died at the gallows.
