Chapter 50: Investigation Part 1
" You want to interview the kids, here? " said one of the investigators, asking the other one as he analyzes the scene of the Nyx Nocterra siblings' disappearance.
" Yes, but just a 'friendly' interview, after all, based on what we see on this place's camera... "
" The students at that time were all fainted due to master Draco and master Selena's power. " the investigator remembers as he uses his magic to Trace any evidence.
< Trace Magic On >
With this magic, he can look for any trace that usually gets left by the people who left the scene of their crime but somehow his Trace magic doesn't get anything.
" Grkkkhhh....., how strange..?
" My Trace Magic doesn't seem to get anything... " he thinks to himself.
As the investigator failed to trace any clue, the other investigator then looks around and sees a random kid having a scar on his hand that looks like it is made by a claw, a Dragon Claw, or some sort.
"( That scar,.....? )" the investigator then tries to remember when did he see that scar before until a memory suddenly emerges to him, unraveling that the scar was seen before by him when he accompanied his young master Draco Nyx Nocterra into a Dungeon Raid which he can see the display of Draco's Dragon Slaying Magic and the damage he causes as he can see him giving the same type of scar.
After remembering that, the other investigator then walks as he approached the boy who had that scar and that takes his hand.
" YOU!!!! " said the investigator to the boy, which made the boy flustered as he looks at the investigator's scary face.
" Y... Yes ... u'mm....
" Where did you get this scar!!!!? " the investigator asks while gripping the boy's hand further.
" That... that .... this.... scar.... " the boy says while his friends ask the investigator to release him as they give him the taste of their magic, but the Inquisitor doesn't flinch, instead falling down against their magic, he then uses his <Shield Magic> to repel back the kids' attacks to themselves.
< Counter Repel Shield >
As he did that, he then grips further the boy's hand while asking where are the Nyx Nocterra siblings which the boy says he didn't know but the investigator still insists on him to confess, but.
" Investigator Frank put him down!!! " said the other investigator while still using his Trace Magic.
" Hey idiot, this kid had master Draco's claw wound.... "
" Release him!!! "
" He knows.... "
" Release him, I won't allow your aggressive behavior to ruin this investigation further, now let him go!!!! " said the investigator assuring investigator Frank the boy is innocent as he traced the wound to be accidentally inflicted on him.
" Grrhhh.... whatever you say, Richard.... " Frank releases the boy and tells him to leave with his weakling friends.
" So, Mr.... 'good tracer', do you get anything from that scene? " Franks asks which Richard then tells that he didn't but he remembered from the camera record that before it was shut off due to great magical energy, it does record something before its shutdown.
" What did you say? it can be true? "
" The rumored brat from that royal family is here? " Frank asks Richard.
" Yes, and he is the last person master Draco confronted before the camera goes off. " Richard gives the recording he managed to save on his phone which shocks Frank as he wonders when did he even get the recording from the principal.
" I thought the Principal forbid the recording to be taken? " Franks asks, Richard explains that he had secretly transferred the recording files when the principal and the other teachers are distracted when Frank angrily mocks them and sues them guilty for their young masters' disappearance.
" So, from this recording.... "
" Are you sure that it is him? " Frank asks Richard says that it is possible and he then informs Frank that the boy in question is in the Medic Room right now.
( At the same time. )
While the Investigators are talking, Carlos suddenly walks there and hears their conversations which he then decides to hide in order to hear their conversations further as he recognizes the two investigators were talking about the 'medic room' and speaking the medic room, Carlos immediately knows who is in that room.
"( No, how did they?..... )"
"( Wait,.... is that the Nyx Nocterra House's investigator Richard Trazer? )" Carlos asks himself as he knows investigator Richard before who is often hired by his father Arthur to help him investigate things using his Trace Magic.
"( This is bad, if he's the one who's investigating the case, then... Donovan is in danger...!!! )" Carlos says as he then also recognizes Investigator Frank the Aggressor, the investigator known for his aggressiveness during his investigation and was made the enforcer for the Nyx Nocterra family for his magic and skills.
"( I need to warn Donovan now....!!! )" Carlos says while using his Star Magic to enable him to levitate as he flees the scene and rushes towards the Medic Room.
...
( Meanwhile.)
" What is it, Richard? "
" Are you spacing out again? " Frank asks Richard as his Trace Magic senses something and acquires a vision of a trail near his place.
"( A star...?) " he says as he sees the Star Magic trail left by Carlos for he then sees where it went and follows it.
" Frank... "
" I think we should go there now... " Richard says while Frank just follows him, maybe thinking that Richard must have seen an important trail that he needs to follow.
"( Seriously this guy's magic... )"
"( Just how many things you can see with your magic? )"
"( Even if you're at Tier III, your magic alone can be bothersome, even to the higher Tier Magic users. )" Frank thinks on his mind as he is one that recognized investigator Richard's unorthodox ability.
"( As a Tier IV Mage, I can only agree to what he says for his Trace Magic is the most useful magic for an investigation that I've ever seen... )"
"( Even the other royal Houses had no choice but to agree to this fact, for those royalties will never have these kinds of useful magics. )" investigator Frank explains for he also roasts the Royal House for being solely focused on maintaining the power of old magic instead of discovering the new and more useful ones while he still follows investigator Richards who can see where the trail of Star Mana Essence went.
