I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209

209. Return to Academy I Killed a Player

Fall Harvest Festival (6)

Like most people, I like small animals.

I tend to happily watch pictures of dogs and cats that come up on YouTube and Instagram.

When a butterfly came to me like that, Ah! I, too, was selected as the deacon I had only heard about! I wanted to.

But that… that…

“Woe, it was you…”

“Oh no… that. No… that wasn’t… no… ”

Hwa was speechless and was speechless, probably because she didn’t think she would be found out.

“How…did you do it?”

“Ma Mag Mel… to Angus there…”

He lowered his head and muttered, probably because he was quite embarrassed.

To summarize, it was like this.

At Treasure Island Mag Mel, Marie Alicia Hwaran was introduced to each of the current goddesses by Angus.

Morian Nevan Maha, the three goddesses of war.

The three goddesses of war who follow the sun god Nuada each gave gifts to the three people, to Arisha, Nevan’s red war horse, to Marie, Maha’s curse spell, and to Hwaran… “It was Morian’s transformation art

… ….”

“……Yes.”

Morian’s transformation is a unique skill that also appears in the game.

Because it can transform into all kinds of animals, it is secretly useful in everyday life or in the open field.

But why bother with this instead of the hidden piece you can get from Mag Mel? Because it was a skill that was used, it was a skill that was sometimes picked up by those who enjoyed it.

“You transformed into a butterfly like that… and all this time… to me…”

I was dumbfounded. I heard that the cat followed me strangely, but it was all an act…

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…”

I was so angry that I didn’t know what to do and was restless. It was cute and made me feel playful.

“Comfort me.”

“how?”

You do this?

Anger trembles at my request. It seems shameful to do something like that with your bare mind… no, with your bare body.

“I’m going to make a fuss, so scratch my stomach.”

“…!”

“Phew…!”

Realizing that he had been made fun of, his angry counterattack was so quick. A fist filled with demonic energy was swung!

“No sleep—!”

The regime, which I could not respond to even with a split-second of reflexes, stopped right in front of my nose. Hwa pouted his lips with a rare expression of innocence.

“Don’t tease me.”

“Yes. I’m sorry.”

Hwa immediately returned to his expressionless expression and sat down on the sofa. He looked depressed, so I sat down next to him.

“Well, it was just a moment of embarrassment.”

– Puck!

“Ugh….”

“I told you not to tease me.”

“I can’t not make fun of this precious thing… Oh, okay! I won’t make fun of it! Let’s find out why!”

“…I’m different from Ran.”

Hwa hugged his knees and muttered.

“Ran is adorable. She’s cute and friendly. It’s natural that Ran is loved.”

“Not me. I don’t talk much. I’m blunt. I don’t have a good personality.”

“So… I thought it would be difficult to be loved by you.”

Hwa compared himself to Ran and confessed his honest feelings. I was thinking about this.

“so do i.”

“what?”

“You and Lando. Marie-senpai and Alisha. Even Saint Estelle. Everyone likes me. What about me? How could someone like me be so fond of me?”

“……it is not so.”

Hwaran spoke honestly.

“You are kind. You are kind. You are cool. You are a person worthy of being loved.”

“You too.”

“me too?”

“Yes. You are cute, lovely, and kind.”

“……really?”

Anger tilts and doubts. I hugged Hwa and confirmed it again.

“……huh.”

I smiled and stroked Hwa’s head. He is such a cute and lovely child. She was the child I saved and the woman who loved me.

“Could you… do me a favor?

“… What is it?”

“Sometimes… if I turn into a butterfly and show some cuteness…”

– Puck!

“Kuh hmm… .! It’s okay to be a puppy!”

“I don’t want to… Ugh.”

How can this be? So, does that mean I won’t be able to see butterflies from now on? I

was drooping in sadness, but an angry person grabbed my cheek with both hands and fixed his gaze on me.

“I… . You know.”

“Huh?”

“I heard it’s adorable. Then… touch me.”

“Uh…”

It’s new, but I can’t get angry… I really have no control over it.

“Can I scratch your belly fat?”

-Nod

This is what I’ve been thinking about lately.

I’m becoming a very shameless person too. .

* * * *

The event called “Linton’s Various Trials” was a non-mainstream event that was not highlighted even in games.

Students taking classes on magistrates were asked how well they performed their magisterial duties by listening to trials and precedents.

See precedents. Does it come to a conclusion close to or a better decision?

It is a kind of mock trial.

A magistrate is a judge accompanied by force.

Small societies such as mountainous areas, border areas, and archipelagos where the influence of the court is not possible. There, the village chief or nobleman This is a place where there are judges and prosecutors.

What would happen if a judge, an outsider, decided to make a ruling in such a place?

If he did not like the ruling, he would overturn it and split the judge’s head.

That is why the magistrate must be accompanied by force, and this is the case in rural areas. The majority were guardians who were no match for gangsters or landowners’ private soldiers.

Now, in this case, the role of the magistrate is a walking court. He

must personally prosecute, which is the role of a prosecutor, record records, which is the role of a clerk, and make rulings, which is the role of a judge. You

just need to accumulate knowledge. Armed force is not a big problem as long as you are a superhuman in the first place.

The problem is your practical ability as a judge and prosecutor. This is not something you can easily learn.

Professor Edgar, a former magistrate, holds a mock court class and occasionally teaches practical skills. I wanted to raise

“Boss, are you confident? To be honest, you are now qualified to be a magistrate.”

“I admit that.”

Thanks to Marie, I became a first-class magistrate, and I used it effectively at a critical moment.

However, my practical experience as a magistrate was limited to the Mound subjugation incident. There’s only one thing. If you look at it, it’s no different from my classmates in other classes.

“My written grades were terrible, but even with this, I was an honor student.”

“……Is that possible?”

“Yes. I got a perfect score in the practical class.”

“Practical class?”

As I said before, Professor Edgar said that he taught practical classes to the students taking the class.

“13 wins out of 13. It’s a legend. Mock trial.”

“……Is that okay? Boss, you said you didn’t study well?”

“Hehe, if you have the bare minimum of legal knowledge, there’s surprisingly no problem.”

Regardless of Ren’s doubts, Professor Edgar greeted me with a shallow sigh as I participated in today’s mock trial event.

“Student Corin. ”

“Professor Edgar.”

A strange student in my class. He failed the written exam, but was strong in the practical test. In addition to that, he was a student with a terrible backbone who came back with a first-class magistrate’s score during the semester. Professor Edgar looked at me and said he didn’t know how to treat me

. It was his attitude.

“I was wondering if I should dissuade him from participating since he is a first-class magistrate, but since he is still a student, I think there will be an issue of fairness.” “I am a judge who is a

raw judge, so please take a look.” “

I know. But the other participants might think differently.”

Professor Edgar furrowed his brow and adjusted his glasses.

“We will assign somewhat more difficult cases to Corinne. Since we won consecutively in the mock trial during class, it would be a well-balanced penalty.”

“Um… is it very difficult?”

“It’s mainly about cases that I and my fellow judges have experienced, so they are all real cases. There’s a way.”

I feel uneasy.

“There’s nothing we can do. Still, thank you very much. “I really need the golden ribbon.”

“Ah, I heard a rumor. It won’t be easy to be Dunareff’s pillar.”

“Ugh… It breaks my heart to see even the professor say such things.”

“You speak well. Anyway, student Corin is a talented person suitable to be a magistrate. Hang in there.”

Professor Edgar said something that I couldn’t tell whether encouraging or reprimanding, and then returned to his seat.

A mock trial held in a rented small auditorium where the auction was held. Professor Edgar begins the proceedings.

-The 9th “Linton’s Variety” to be held today. Thank you for coming to “Trials.”

– Magistrate Clough, a former magistrate, who provided precedents for today’s event. Thank you and applause for Magistrate Samantha.

– Clap clap clap!

Although there are fewer participants, this event is more meaningful than expected. It is an exhausting event.

This is because actual legal figures will visit to meet Professor Edgar, a former first-class magistrate, and get to know the next magistrates. Although they are only sheriffs of the

Magistrate Bureau or former magistrates, it is a good way to meet seniors. It’s an opportunity.

-Also, the Security Bureau’s Deputy Chief of Security Ronan, Police Chief Barok, Chief of Police Dorman, and Justice Department Deputy Director Gerald and Director Mager also visited. -Wow, big names from the Security Bureau and the Justice Department

came here, right?

-Why on earth?

Uh… look at this. It’s strange. I heard that the people who came to this event the year before last were, at most, former magistrates and chiefs of public security…

I couldn’t help but wonder as I looked at the people filling the small auditorium. Most of the people who filled the place were from the Public Security Bureau. That’s because they were employees of the Ministry of Justice.

And the ones who dragged them in were the two big guys in front of me.

Even though it was an important event to meet future magistrate aspirants, from their point of view it was just a children’s party. Why on earth are

these big guys like little kids? Did you come to the event?

– Well… Before we start, there will be a speech from Director Dorman.

Professor Edgar also seemed uncomfortable with this situation, but he couldn’t ignore the big officials, so he passed the microphone to the Director of Security.

– Ah, security. My name is Director Dorman. Haha, it shouldn’t be too awkward. They’re all people, just like you. The

older man with graying hair gently introduced himself. That guy… He’s a big guy I’ve only seen in games, but he happened to be here. –

But I would like to take this opportunity to praise one magistrate: Magistrate First Class Corin Locke! A hero of the kingdom and a treasure of the legal world!

“Eh?”

Me? Why?”

Before I had time to reply to the magistrate’s sudden compliment, he came up to me and gave me a friendly hug.

“Everyone, remember this great magistrate! I am a heroic judge who caught notoriously wanted criminals!”

Uh… Huh? Me?

I didn’t catch that…

Chief Magistrate Dorman whispered in a low voice so that no one could hear.

“Please say hello to Princess Marie, Baron.”

Oh…

I see. Now I know why these big people came.

They want to build a connection with Marie through me. They praise me for her and show her goodwill. I want to buy it.

If I do this, I really can’t refute the rumor that I am a pillar of the law… The

legal world’s heavyweights continued to go crazy. It became too long and only after Professor Edgar dissuaded the event was held. It went ahead, and the first person to hit was me.

-Cheer up, Magistrate Locke!

-Oh! That’s cool!

-I love you! Corin Locke!

The employees who followed, as if they had received instructions from the executives, cheered soullessly and painted my face.

This… The power of power?

Normally, I would have told a small joke to brighten the mood, but I couldn’t do it because I was afraid of the reaction.

Fortunately, Professor Edgar was quick to proceed with the event.

“Then this is the first trial. I would like you to have Mueller on the magistrate’s side and Corinne on the defendant’s side.”

The magistrate’s court is special.

First of all, the judge on the prosecuting side also takes on the role of prosecutor, but the defendant does not have a lawyer.

After all, where would high-level personnel like lawyers be common in Gangchon? Moreover, time is limited for a quick ruling, so you have no choice but to represent yourself.

This is why magistrates are invincible in lawless areas. Although I am the prosecutor and judge, the criminals I indict have to defend themselves without a lawyer.

The defendant is at an absolute disadvantage.

Therefore, in a mock trial that takes the form of two wins out of three, the key is not when it is on the judge’s side, but when it is on the defendant’s side.

If you win a case under absolutely unfavorable conditions, there is a very high probability that it will lead to consecutive wins.

‘That’s why the case is important. Even if you can’t be acquitted, you have to find at least some guile that will get you acquitted.’

Of course, all the cases that are brought as precedents are cases in which the judge wins. However, this does not mean that the judge can always win.

The opposing judge is also a beginner just like the defendant. If you have the courage to dig into the logical loopholes, you can turn it around as much as you like depending on the attack and defense!

“Defendant Corinne Locke. You are charged with disorderly conduct.”

‘It’s easy. In cases of sexual crimes, evidence is not easily left behind. It’s dirty, but it’s a case in the defendant’s favor.’

We live in an age where there is no DNA testing. If you look into the loophole──

“Defend yourself against the heinous act of bestializing a goat.”

“……………………………………..What the fuck?”
