I mean, Xavier might not be the most skilled in the world, but he's not incompetent. He didn't take a single thing Machu said or did at face value the whole time they were in that locker. Machu was operating on kid logic, and Xavier on adult logic. "Of course she'd deny knowing about Clan Battle if she's worried about getting caught" vs "I should just deny knowing anything, and then in the same sentence mention it's a gambling thing." The least suspicious answer would have been "I've heard of it, yeah, but I don't know much about it. Isn't it some kind of gambling thing? [Random classmate name] said she heard you can earn a lot of money doing that."

Xavier's not great at his job, but he at least knows Machu is fishy and her answers did noting to clear her. I'd assume he's at least competent enough to report the encounter to Challia.

Yeah but she could also play off a lot of her words and reaction to "Random strange man threw me in a locker and pinned me in here, I'm scared as hell". Especially since apparently she's going to the fancy girl's school.
