I can try to read it, as best as I can. Parts are missing, so... please be patient with me, Sensei.
[as I c/p this from another PC]
"Sorry I can't be there for you. Each team must ki--" something "to" something, there's not a whole word in either spot...
[Her voice audibly tightens for the next part.]
Some of the letters are missing, but I... I think I know most of this.
"How far are you willing to go, while... while ignoring the feelings of others? Think carefully on what's most imporant to you, and whether it's worth it."
[Another beat.]
"Don't trust Hilda nor Vezda. Protect the..." the something. It ends with an S.
...There was a signature, too, but it blocked itself out. It starts with an S and has an A near the middle. It's enough letters to be Schwann, though.
[The longer she talks, the more stony his expression turns]
... Hilda and Vezda? That suggests they are past killers, or likely to interfere with trials somehow.
The first section I assume means that each team must make a certain amount of kills, though that is also a dangerous assumption to make... but as the next section dares you to consider your own convictions in order to do what must be done...
I know... That would be something... necessary, I guess. But I don't want it to come to that.
It's why I want to make sure I tell Claude. I... he's really, really upset, Sensei. I don't think this will help that, because he is friends with Hilda-chan, but... if something happens, he'll be furious that no one told him. I think that's something he needs to decide for himself.
It is possible that that was the result of one, but I cannot be sure.
[...]
Regardless, I know of their existence because I have spoken to a few. Their names are nothing I can give freely for obvious reasons, but I tell you this in good faith for a reason -- they are adamant about finding out how this Realm works, and how best to help us all.
[A sigh]
With your permission, I would tell one of them what you know. They will not speak of it with anyone else besides maybe their Leader, not even their fellow role-bearers, lest they incur my wrath, but...
This is not a riddle I can help solve myself. And it is imperative that we find the answers quickly, to keep us from making too many further mistakes.

[The concern hasn't edged out of his voice, but his expression smoothens in preparation for the news. After a slight nod]
Tell me what concerns you.

I got a message. A lot of it was blocked out, so there's a few words I couldn't understand, but...
It was trying to tell me something about what's happening. And I think it was from Schwann.
no subject
[Expression tightening for a moment, but his own personal feelings on the matter are miniscule. A pause as he folds his arms behind his back]
And what, exactly, is happening?

It doesn't sound like him. Not... the him I remember, anyway, but...
[Something about it very audibly hurts.]
...This is why I don't want it outside a few people right now. I... don't have enough here, and just blaming Hilda-chan or Vezda-san without proof...
People are hurting and angry, and that's going to want to be directed at somebody. I don't want it to be them without reason.
I... I trust, Schwann, and I think we should watch them, but... I don't know enough to make a better choice.
no subject
... I believe you are correct. Without more evidence, the best we can do is watch them carefully.
-- But should we find ourselves without culprits, you are aware that we might need to press them for information, correct?
[Watching is fine up until further action must be taken, and it's here that Chiron's gaze is quiet and thoughtful upon her, even if he cannot see]
Hikaru... I have a question for you.

She flinches hard at the use of her name.]
Um... yes, Sensei. What is it?
no subject
And while he is paying attention to her concerns, Chiron does not speak until the end]
Did you know that there are roles in this game? Those who have been granted certain abilities that we do not have.
no subject
[uh]
...No. I know that somebody thought a special ability was used when Claude and Hua-chan fought real bad last week, but they couldn't explain why...

[This is a lot? This is a lot. She's glad he can't see her because her face goes through a lot of emotions all at once.]
I...
...
No... Not until after the trial, Chiron-sensei. Please.
I don't want this to distract more than it helps.
no subject
Very well. The information will stay with those you trust.
no subject
...
After the trial, you can tell whoever you think needs it. Just... um...
I want us to be careful. That's all.
