Exam 3.

[ Once again, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

Today Han is absent-- only Megumi is present at the front of the classroom. ]

She didn't tell me anything, but from what I know, they're items that appeared in prehistoric Japan and were mostly made exclusively of jade and while they originally served as decorative jewelry, at the end of the Kofun period, they were usually used as ceremonial and religious objects.

They were also used in Japanese mythology with Susanoo, who received five hundred magatama from Tamanoya no mikoto, who is the jewel making deity, and Susanoo went to heaven and presented the magatama to Ameterasu who bit one off and blew them away to create other deities. Well, there's just a lot of mythological stories utilizing magatama in general, but I don't think those are really all that important to the trial in particular.

Apparently the Yasakani no magatama is also one of three imperial regalia of Japan and it was used in Japanese enthrone ceremonies, too.

[ Wow, that was detailed. ]

Damn, kid. You know a lot. She use it to channel spirits or something?

[swordsinternally]

I know a lot of useless trivia about mythology. [ Don't ask how or why. He just does. ] Given that she was a spirit channeler... probably, yeah.

[donotlick]

Right. It's too bad she didn't have her powers here. I would've liked to see that shit.

[ Sad... ]

[throwabookatit]

She couldn't, here. [ An instant response. ] But yes, she... That's what she would use it for.

[donotlick]

[ Ah... sounds like they had a similar conversation, huh. ]

Too bad, ain't it.

[throwabookatit]

[ NOT JUST A CONVERSATION, HAHAHA ]

...Yes. She was...put out, about it.

[donotlick]

[ Ouch........ ]

Right. Her.

[ Not you. ]

She sounded pretty down about it.

[throwabookatit]

[ look they were both
kind of upset ]

It was something important to her. Maya-- she wanted to be able to help us out, however she could.

[donotlick]

[ Yeah.... that's a mood. ]

Yeah. She really did, didn't she.
