62 – Disciplinary Committee (2)

“…That’s how it happened.”

Sharon Pierce finished her testimony.

In summary, all four female cadets rejected Ian’s confession and read the threatening letter Ian left.

Kwaang—

As if waiting for her testimony to end, Professor Todd Kam shouted as he hit his seat.

“Does this make sense in the academy, a sacred place of learning? Threatening suicide for not accepting confessions! That’s why young kids these days tsk tsk! Let’s expel them right away!”

Every time Todd Kam shouted, spittle splattered, but Sharon calmly kept her seat in the testimony room.

That self-sufficient attitude adds credibility to her words.

Above all, since he is a son of the Pierce family, the weight of his testimony must be different from that of ordinary cadets.

After she left, opinions came naturally.

“Looks believable.”

“There is a point in what Professor Todd Kam said.

Some professors nodded, and some took advantage of the opportunity to flatter them.

It was an openly known fact that he held the strings of Raymond’s team.

At that sight, Violet frowned.

“Calm down, everyone. Aren’t all of them circumstantial evidence except for the letter?”

Todd Kam heats up his toady face.

“Professor Violet! All four cadets gave the same testimonies in the pre-listening! Why are they different?”

“There is no physical evidence.”

“There is consistency in testimony, consistency! Besides, isn’t the heart of the victim more important? Heart! Aren’t Emilia Raymond, Sharon Pierce, Candidate Arya Saint, and Lina Roswell all cadets with a bright future? Those children are suffering so much, how can they? Cold words!”

Are you appealing to emotion rather than logic?

“Professor Todd is right. You can’t be nice when reporters ask.”

“You definitely need to cut it off.”

“In the first place, Ian didn’t have a good reputation.”

“It wasn’t bad. It was the worst. The worst.”

A group of Todd Kams giving each other back and forth.

Looking at them gently, Violet sighed lightly.

And then I stopped them.

“Wait a minute. Professor Susie Dismal has something to say. Professor? Let’s talk.”

“Ah… that.”

“Speak comfortably.”

“…At the time of the last raid on Median House, Cadet Ian was very helpful. He had already reported information about the blue mushroom spores before that, so I was able to prepare a cure to some extent in advance.”

“What’s the conclusion?”

“The way I see it, Cadet Ian Black Angus is the complete wrong person? I think it’s a stretch to say he does.”

Professor Susie Dismal of clinical magic.

As soon as she finished her story, her Violet grinned.

“Now, isn’t it tight in terms of the circumstances? I think it would be better to focus on the evidence as per the rules of the Disciplinary Committee.”

At Violet’s words, several professors who were close to neutral nodded their heads.

“Hmm… Come to think of it, didn’t you receive a commendation at the last commendation ceremony?”

“It may be self-reflection, but it may also be true in nature.”

Todd Kam’s face crumpled in an instant.

‘… Those b*tches!’

How much does this cost, and you interrupt me like that?

But don’t worry too much.

Because I heard something from the Raymond Merchants.

‘I told you I had a talk with Lena Roswell beforehand.’

Originally, only Sharon Pierce was scheduled to testify, but he said that he had prepared the testimony of Lena Roswell just in case.

After all, the disciplinary committee is the flow and momentum.

Todd Kam finished his calculations and hit the spot again.

— Quaang!

His fat neck shook with the impact.

“Then let’s call Lena Roswell Cadet too. She just said she can attend today as a witness.”

“Unless it’s evidence, meaning…”

“Are you going to ignore the voice of the victim? The disciplinary committee is for the victim. Cadet Lena Roswell. Please come in.”

As Lena Roswell opened the door and entered, Professor Todd Kam laughed inwardly.

‘The money is rolling in by itself.’

The number of gold coins you will receive from the Raymond Merchant Corps is considerable even if you do this properly.

Not only that.

With Raymond’s support, it would be possible to reach higher places in Lichten.

“This is Lena Roswell.”

He gave Lina Roswell a quick glance.

‘Even though I don’t have big breasts, I’ve fallen here and there.’

Professor Todd Kam smacked his lips.

The corner of his mouth rises fishy.

Hiding his dark feelings, he opened his mouth in a greasy voice.

“The suicide threat must have been a difficult memory to get through, but you even came out to testify like this. It may be a painful memory for a student, but please explain in detail how you felt at the time.”

The testimony of Lena Roswell.

If she, who is famous for being an infinitely friendly child, sheds only her tears, in fact, the atmosphere of this disciplinary committee is completely dominated.

‘Evidence? It’s funny.’

As it is. Confirm Ian’s punishment, and get paid.

The moment Todd Kam’s lips lifted.

Lina opened her mouth.

“I don’t think Cadet Ian did anything like that.”

“Yes. It’s hard to go through something like that… No. What?”

“I believe Cadet Ian was framed.”

“What are you talking about! I’m sure even in the pre-listening…!”

“At that time, there was a misunderstanding. I apologize for giving the wrong testimony, but it was actually a case that was difficult to judge rationally. The contents of the suicide note were shocking. Besides, there was another victim at that time… Um. I don’t know if I’m a victim right now. , There was also pressure from them.”

… What do you mean by that?

No wait.

Utilizing Lena Roswell’s concrete testimony, I was thinking of driving a wedge with an emotional appeal.

But what?

Don’t you think Ian is such a kid?

You think you’ve been falsely framed?

It’s a different story.

A cold sweat began to run down Todd Kam’s back.

“Now… Wait…”

However, Professor Violet did not miss the opportunity and hung up.

“It’s a false accusation… I feel the need to clarify this a bit. Isn’t that a completely new testimony?”

The rapidly changing mood of the committee.

Todd Kam opens his mouth.

“Now…Wait a minute.”

“Anything you want to say?”

“No, that’s not it…”

I couldn’t come up with anything to respond to.

Take advantage of his stuttering moment, Violet opened her mouth.

“I think it’s time to listen to Cadet Ian. Please call Cadet Ian.”

A shady spot in the auditorium of the Disciplinary Committee.

Emilia Raymond was gritting her teeth.

‘That worthless human.’

Seeing the pathetic look of Professor Todd Kam, Emilia Raymond shook her head.

Lina Roswell’s back of the head wasn’t what she expected……. There is nothing difficult to deal with on the spot.

‘It’s okay if I fall for what I was punished a while ago.’

You can’t do that easy thing.

Emilia felt nauseated by Todd Kam’s toad-like face.

This is why when you spend money, you have to spend it wisely.

I should buy a more useful professor.

It’s just that in this committee, there are a lot of eyes watching from the outside, so I tried to avoid myself as much as possible.

She was a bit surprised when she found out, to be honest, that she even went as far as the bishop of the Order.

‘Well, since Pierce’s side is sincere, it’ll be fine.’

She glanced over the article walking out of the audience.

Ian enters cautiously.

— Quaaang!

Then the door to the meeting room was thrown back violently after him.

Sudden rudeness.

It was only natural that the attention was focused on the door.

“What the hell is this… Who are you!”

From noble mtl dot com

While several professors were angry.

“The Red Flame Knights?”

On the contrary, the professors who took care of the practicality recognized the existence of the uninvited guest.

At first glance, Lichten Academy may look like an independent institution, but in the end it is an academy within the sphere of influence of the Empire. The Red Flame Knights, one of the two great knights who are the hands and feet of the emperor. Among them, a knight of the senior level is an existence that is different from the ordinary professors of the academy.

The quick-witted professors quickly sorted things out.

“You came down to this place while you were busy. May I ask what happened to you?”

Some frowned, but didn’t show it.

There is nothing good about challenging the authority of the empire.

“I came here as Sharon Pierce’s guardian.”

Aran, a knight who catches his breath.

A loud noise erupted from her mouth.

“Suicide threats against the Pierce family? Are you going to pass it on? Are you crazy?”

Aran Altishch looks around at the professors with madness and contempt.

Every professor who touched that gaze flinched.

However, the professor who belongs to the bravest side cautiously opened his mouth.

“There are conflicting testimonies and no clear evidence to just punish them.”

“What? Evidence? Hey old professor.”

“No. Calm down first.”

“Still, it’s a prestigious academy, so I tried to keep an eye on it, but this isn’t it. Do you think the honor of the name Pierce is so easy to see?”

“Of course you’re right, but. This is an apparently extraterritorial academy…”

She lifted something of hers from her arms.

An identification card that indicates that you are eligible for a summary judgment.

For a moment, silence hangs over the conference hall.

“If this case is dealt with properly, we’ll be fine.”

She steps into the middle of her meeting room.

“If not.”

Then, slowly, she looked back at the professors and opened her mouth as if chewing each word carefully.

“Resolve, you better do it.”

Silence enveloped the space.

Among them, Ian was rolling her head.

She came in with Aran, but her presence was lost.

Aran overwhelmed the conference hall with momentum.

But her displeasure with her was unheard of, but clearly present in her.

‘It’s good to break the atmosphere and go in at this point.’

Should I do it myself?

The moment Ian was about to open his mouth.

— Rumble!

Once again, the door opened.

“Is this the level of the Liechtenian Academy Disciplinary Committee?”

Ttogak Ttogak.

Someone came inside with light footsteps.

“Who dares…”

Aran Altishich, frowning arrogantly, stops on the spot as he tries to change his clothes.

“It’s very sh*tty. It’s almost a market fight? I guess people who aren’t royalty originally play like this? It’s fun. It’s like a last-minute play.”

“…Ah, Asteria, Princess? How are you here?”

As she is, as she is, as quickly as she is, she politely gets down on her knees.

There was a slight commotion in the conference hall.

– “Woo, the princess?”

The princess, Asteria, smiled lightly.

“Ah. I want to enter the Lichten Academy. I came to register above and then came down once. I like courtroom dramas.”

One of the professors opened his mouth.

“Princess, this place is currently in the middle of a disciplinary committee, so it’s a bit difficult if you’re not related. If you want to take a look, find another way…”

Turning her head toward her professor, the princess opens her mouth.

“Oh, I don’t know how to argue about that. Isn’t it famous? Rumor has it that the third princess, Asteria, is stupid. Aha. Did the professor just point that out too?”

“It’s not like that! I didn’t mean to insult the imperial family. I’m sorry!”

“No, it’s true, and it’s annoying, so I apologized. I came because I thought it would be fun anyway.”

Hwihwi. The princess held out her hand.

“Rather than that, what’s wrong here with the volume of your voice? It’s just noisy and there’s no content. Don’t you know that the truth battle should be the main focus in court?”

Silent members.

The princess looked back at Ian this time.

“And you seem to be the suspect, but do you have any evidence? When I watch the play, I have an objection!”

Ian stood there without saying a word.

Ian’s mouth fell for the first time.

“I have prepared the evidence to be submitted.”

“What is it?”

“Part of a will claimed to have been written by the victim, and Sylvia Laurent as witness and handwriting expert endorsed by her.”

“Hmm?”

Smile. The princess laughs.

“It’s a bit like a trial now. I’ll watch it from above then.”

The princess turning around.

A fleeting moment when Ian’s eyes meet.

One of her eyelids blinked and then opened.
