I Became an Academy Baldo User

trial (3)

“Isn’t that a pure bastard?!”

“What the fuck?!”

“Katana?! Katana?! Why Katana?!”

The first to shout that was not the mother and daughter Pong Pong sitting in the manuscript, but Karen and the party sitting in the audience.

Aside from them, there were several others who, if not quite shocked, jumped up or booed me.

As the courtroom, which was supposed to be quiet, became noisy like a market floor, the presiding judge lowered the baton to calm them down.

After a while, when the tumultuous atmosphere in the courtroom had calmed down to some extent, the judge asked me again.

“Defendant, is that true?”

“Yes, it is.”

As I nodded to the judge’s question, his complexion darkened as if he was also one of the admirers of Pierre.

The fuss about having just disassembled the rapier and the staff… Anyone who doesn’t know would think I broke even a national treasure-class katana.

When everyone, including the presiding judge, was rapidly losing their expressions, the plaintiff’s lawyer, who was consulting with the mother and daughter Pong Pong, stood up.

“Your Majesty, I can’t believe that so easily. Maybe the defendant is lying because he doesn’t want to return the armor!!”

The judge sighed deeply at the insulting remarks of telling lies in the courtroom.

“Attorney for the plaintiff, please refrain from reckless remarks… . Defendant, is there any other way to prove that other than the katana you have in your hand?”

“Of course it is. If you wish, I will apply as a witness at the next trial, the blacksmith who forged this katana, Otar Godsmith.”

When the name of a blacksmith who did not know the name of a swordsman in the kingdom was revealed, the court was in turmoil again.

The weakness of the expert’s authority was that everyone believed in Othar’s name, whether it was different here or on Earth.

“I want to make sure that the defendant’s statement is true at the next trial… What would you do with the manuscript? If what the defendant said is true, I don’t think the rapier can be returned anymore… .”

As the judge said, it was already made into a katana, but disassembling it and making it into a rapier doesn’t mean it becomes Pierre’s rapier.

However, it seems that what they wanted was more money for selling weapons than Pierre’s.

“Hmm… .”

After a brief cough, the lawyer got up again and spoke to the judge.

“As the defendant said, if Pierre-sama’s weapon is lost, then we demand the ownership of that katana made of it.”

“Huh… .”

It is said that when anger crosses the threshold, laughter bursts out instead of going crazy, but I only found out today that that saying is true.

How dare you speak unforgivable words to take away my katana from me.

I was expecting to say something like that, but when it came to my ears like this, I couldn’t stand the rage that was boiling over.

The anger that crossed the threshold almost immediately appeared in the form of speculation and murder, but… .

[Skill, Will of Steel is activated.]

The will of skill steel calmed the fierce anger like the blazing sun.

[Skill, Will of Steel is activated.]

[Skill, Will of Steel is activated.]

[Skill, Will of Steel is activated.]

The anger I’m feeling right now wasn’t enough to just stop once, so the message that the skill was activated did not stop at the first time.

“Whew… .”

The anger in me barely subsided until the message reached the point where it reached the ceiling and filled the entire courtroom.

It was time to let out a sigh and take a deep breath. The judge, who had no idea what I was going through right now, asked me leisurely.

“Defendant, I haven’t said anything since before. Are you okay?”

“… … … it’s okay. I’m fine, so let’s go to trial.”

“… Yes, yes, then we will. Then again from the plaintiff… .”

As I listened to the judge’s words through one ear, I thought as I looked at the mother and daughter Pong Pong sitting on the plaintiff’s side.

Even death cannot pay for the sin of daring to take my daughter away from me and to speak simple words.

‘Let’s see you bastards… !’

******

“There have been several occasions where the discoverer of the armor of an old hero took ownership. But… .”

However, this is because either the owner of the weapon transferred the ownership or the bloodline was cut off, leaving no one to claim the ownership.

So, the lawyer argued that in this case, the mother and daughter Pong Pong, the descendants of Pierre’s blood, claim the ownership of the weapon, so of course Nang-a should be theirs.

“Also, sir. Please look at the evidence submitted by the plaintiff in advance.”

As the lawyer spoke, the Justice Department officials seated in front of the judge’s seat began to magically project the evidence submitted by the lawyer into the air.

What the officials reflected on it looked like a photograph, but it was precisely a painting that was so sophisticated that it was impossible to feel any difference from the real thing painted using flame magic.

There was a statue of Pierre, which I had damaged, in the air, the lawyer pointed to the statue and said.

“Even after subjugating Robo, the defendant insulted Pierre and severely damaged the statue as you can see! It would be disrespectful to yield Pierre-sama’s armor to such a rude person, and it would be a great disgrace to Pierre!!”

When this fact was revealed, the audience did not get tired of it, and it became noisy again.

The people who cheered me on before the trial seemed to shudder when they remembered who I was.

“quiet!! be quiet!! What a fuss the sons of noble families are making!!”

The judge, who hit the doctor’s wand roughly, turned his head to me as the audience calmed down.

“Defendant, is this true? If not, do you have any objection to it?”

“It is all true and there is nothing to argue against!! On the contrary, I think it’s a good thing! If I could turn back time, I would not stop there and set the town on fire!”

Just thinking about the filthy maggots entangled in the corpses, the statues and the town makes me feel annoyed.

I didn’t get tired of my sincerity, which had not been exaggerated even in the slightest, and when the audience was about to get louder, the judge raised his hand and stopped it before that.

“defendant… . When speaking in the future, ask the accused to think for 5 seconds before answering. Do you understand?”

“Yeah, I see.”

Even though I was told to think about it for 5 seconds and speak, I answered right away, and the judge frowned.

“Whew… Well, I see. So now that all the plaintiff’s arguments have been heard, is there a defense for the defendant?”

“Of course it is. Plaintiff’s attorney said that I am the first discoverer, but the owner is a descendant of a mop… No, did I say it was right for Pierre mother and daughter to have it back and return it to them?”

“Yes that’s right. According to the laws of the kingdom, even if the defendant is the first discoverer, the title belongs to the two descendants of Pierre-nim.”

“Then what if that premise collapses? two rags… No, unless you two are legitimate heirs?”

When he said such a meaningful word, the lawyer smiled as if he did not understand what he meant.”

“Hey, you don’t seem to know much about the law, but even if the two of you had bad behavior, that is no reason to be deprived of ownership.”

“I think the lawyer misinterpreted what I said, but I didn’t say that.”

“Yes? So what do you mean by that?”

“It is literally. Think carefully about what I said.”

“Literally… ?”

After a long time, I opened my mouth with a hopeful expression, as I couldn’t even imagine the truth of the Pier family I was holding in my arms.

“Then that means… ?!”

The quick-witted person already realized the truth of what I said and held his breath in hopelessness.

Pong-pong mother and daughter did not understand what I said at first, but they judged the situation only after seeing the lawyer’s pale blue expression.

“Blood, defendant… !! Now that’s a joke that can’t be taken lightly!! Are you saying that there is solid evidence?”

The judge, who suddenly decided the fate of a family in the ownership trial of the armor left by the hero, asked with a trembling voice.

“I will ask you the other way around. Do you think that Baron Baron could just say something like this without any proof?”

Recalling the courtroom drama I saw one day, I moved forward with an exaggerated gesture and spoke to the officials sitting in front of the judge’s seat.

“Please float the first piece of evidence that I submitted in advance.”

“Yes, yes… !”

Perhaps it wasn’t only the judges who were nervous, they too, with trembling hands, slowly reflected the evidence I had presented in the air.

“Judge, do you know what this is?”

“Looks like a dying painting, what is this… .”

“This is a painting that I commissioned a wizard from the academy to evoke my memory… This painting is Pierre’s tombstone erected by the Earth Spirit.”

“Hey, is this what you mean?!”

When the word Pierre’s tombstone came out, everyone stared intently at the evidence reflected in the air.

“But what is the inscription on the tombstone? What ancient language is it?”

“That’s the cipher that Pierre left before he died, and it’s a password that Pierre often used while he was alive.”

“Password? Did you understand the password?”

“Yes, of course. If I interpret that code, it will be something like this.”

Everyone listened to hear the hero’s last words, but what they heard was the exact opposite of what they expected.

“Those who read this should not get married.”

“… … Yes? Defendant, what now… .”

“People who read this article told me not to get married. I haven’t told you everything yet, would you mind if I continued?”

“Ah, huh… ! Excuse me. Continue.”

“Then people who read this from the beginning again, don’t get married. Why? If you don’t want to fuck, don’t do it. You bastards!!”

“… … Yes?”

It was a time when everyone was bewildered by the unbelievable words no matter how many times they heard it.

Taking advantage of everyone’s bewilderment, the plaintiff’s lawyer, whom he had always wanted, stood up and shouted.

“Hey, that’s a lie! How did the defendant know and interpret the password Pierre used during his lifetime?!”

“Attorney for the plaintiff, was there only the tombstone over there? How would you have found the tombstone deep in the woods in the first place?”

“… … Ah, spirit.”

Of course, in reality, I could tell because I was a Korean, but anyway, I didn’t tell a lie, so what should I do?

The lawyer, who could not deny that my words were false, changed the direction of the objection.

“I, even if you left such a will, it does not prove that the plaintiff is not a descendant of Pierce!! If you’re a married man, isn’t it the law to tell an unmarried man not to get married at least once?!”

While everyone was waiting for my reaction to what seems to make sense at first glance, I smiled and told my lawyer.

“Then can I bring you some solid evidence?”

“Ze, proof? Are you saying that there is evidence to prove things 200 years ago?”

“Yes, not exactly evidence, but a witness… No, would it be better to call it a gift?”

“Ryeong, please… !!”

When the plaintiff’s lawyers were feeling the situation getting out of hand, I asked the presiding judge.

“Judge, please allow me to summon Marga, the High Spirit of the Earth, who was with Fear as a witness.”
