Bab 43: Chapter 43: Punishment Committee (2)
The sight of Jin walking between the two masked guards from the Punishment Committee caught everyone's eye, leaving them puzzled as to why they were escorting a new student who had yet to obtain the uniform.
However, Jin did not seem worried. On the contrary, he was relaxed. He put his hands behind his back and walked with confident steps towards the center of the Punishment and Discipline Committee.
Behind a small desk, an old man with a white beard sat leaning on his chair with his eyes closed as if he was taking a small nap. Even after Jiao Ti Yi and those with him entered, he didn't open his eyes and only said.
"Did you bring him? Let's speed up the processes. I don't want to miss my lunch."
"That's good, I don't want to miss my lunch either, so tell me why did you call me here for," Jin said calmly while looking at the old man's eyes.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, adjusted his sit and stared at the young man who spoke without fear or tension.
Throughout his life as the head of the Punishment Committee, he had never seen anyone standing in front of him so calmly, even the innocent, backed by the influence of their family, shivered as soon as they stood here in front of him.
The old man let out a small laugh and turned toward Jiao Ti Yi.
"The boy here is in a hurry to leave. Tell him why he is here."
Jiao Ti Yi respectfully bowed his head and started formally telling Jin his charges.
"You are accused of excessive use of power, and the attempt to kill a student."
Jin rubbed his forehead, trying to remember, then answered.
"If you mean Shen Liu, it was self-defense, and there are hundreds of students testifying to that."
"I attest"
"Me too"
Du Bai and Lian both stormed the place and shouted in defense of Jin, one of the masked men wanted to take them out, but the old man signaled to him to let them stay.
"You can attend, but you are not allowed to interrupt us or speak without my permission."
Jiao Ti Yi turned to Jin and continued.
"We're talking about Shen Tang. You used explosion magic on him as an assassination attempt. Then, after he surrendered, you crushed his manhood. Now tell me, isn't this an excessive use of power?"
Fists and kicks do not have eyes, and during challenges between students, those who get seriously injured, should blame their weakness and lack of power, but it was forbidden to continue hitting the opponent after he fainted or announced his surrender, and students will be held accountable for that, in the end, they are students of the same academy.
Jin sighed, speaking in the tone of someone suffering from remorse, not for what he did but for what he didn't do.
"What happened still saddens me, because of the academy's laws, that bald pervert is still alive. and what consoles me is that I have rendered a favor to society by eliminating the offspring of a despicable one like him."
Jin's tone and sarcasm made Jiao Ti Yi explode in anger. So he shouted.
"You dare to say such a thing in front of us after all you did to the poor young man, impudence!"
"Oh, the bald pervert is a poor guy now. If you are so sympathetic to him, why don't you send your wife to take care of him? That will motivate him to heal quickly."
Jin's sudden and dirty response stunned everyone, even the committee head, who was sitting with dignity. His facial expressions became funny, and his jaw touched the ground. As for Jiao Ti Yi, the world was darkened in his face, and veins appeared on his forehead, For a fourteen-year-old child, responding to him with such insulting words is an unforgivable thing.
"You piece of shit."
Jiao Ti Yi screamed and attacked Jin like a madman, releasing his aura, but suddenly magic circles appeared on Jiao Ti Yi's body preventing him from moving.
The old man wasn't a magician, but that didn't stop him from mastering an elementary spell of restriction magic. Some warriors, their mana rise to three stars. Then they could perform some elementary magic attacks.
"Shame on you, you got provoked by a child who is in your son's age?"
Jin, who intentionally provoked Jiao Ti Yi, did not let the case pass easily and began to defend himself with enthusiasm.
"Exactly, this is the reaction of any real man who wants to defend his family without thinking of the consequences. I am sure now that everyone understands my feeling, especially since my opponent was a filthy person and a vile rapist."
Jiao Ti Yi could not find anything to say, especially after his previous reaction, as if he could hold others responsible for the same thing that he did. But Jin did not remain silent and added.
"By the way, I would like to file a complaint against the bald pervert named Tang."
"A complaint?...sorry, I didn't mean to talk."
Behind the mask, one of the guards apologized and retreated back, as a guard shouldn't ask questions, but Jin's desire to file a complaint against those who complained about him surprised him so much that he forgot himself for a moment.
"Yes, complaint. An official student threatens a participant to force him to withdraw from the exam and leave the academy. Isn't this a crime?"
Jin not only took advantage of Jiao Ti Yi's anger to make his argument but decided to file a suit against who was supposed to be the victim here.
** ha ha ha **
The committee head laughed, making the two guards and Jiao Ti Yi shocked. They had never seen him laugh before, they had only seen his cold smile.
"You're an interesting young man. Even if I miss my lunch now, it won't bother me. Jiao Ti Yi, let's forget about Tang's charge and begin with the main charge... the murder charge."
Lian turned to Du Bai and asked in a surprised tone.
"Murder, what do they mean by murder?"
Du Bai was even more shocked than her and started to wish that Li Chui and Zi Yun would quickly show up.
Jiao Ti Yi adjusted his clothes, and his anger reduced, with a smile on his face that meant 'Show me how you can get yourself out of this.'
"The first day of the exam, the third area in the afternoon, and eyewitnesses' presence, Tai Jin murdered the participant Zhou Faye and burned her body."
Jiao Ti Yi indicated to the masked guard to call the witnesses. A student with a bandage on his head entered, and a guard from the outer zone behind him.
When Jin fought with Shen Tang and his three mates on the exam day, this young man was the first to fall in the battle after Jin threw his silver ball at him to faint straight away. He was lucky that he received the first attack. Otherwise, he would have booked a bed next to his friends in the hospital.
As for the burly guard with harsh features, he was the same one who fought with Jin in the incident of seals of participation's scrolls, and he sent Zhou Faye to assassinate him, but Jin had the upper hand and killed her then burned her body.
'He sent a killer after me, and when he failed, he accused me of killing her. What a joke.'
Jin sighed. He understood what they were up to now. However, he turned toward the committee head and said jokingly.
"Sir, it looks like we're going to miss the lunch. What do you say after we finish our issue here, I'll introduce you to a great restaurant, but you will be the one who will pay for the food."
The old man laughed at Jin's words and looked at him curiously.
"You brat, don't you know the meaning of fear, we are talking about a murder case, and you invite me to lunch. At least wait until you hear the witness' tale."
Jin shook his head.
"No need for that. I can guess what happened. The bandaged man chased after me at Shen Tang's request to prevent me from doing my mission so that I would fail in the test, but he saw me burn something before I summoned my eagle. Isn't that your testimony?"
The young man with the bandages nodded in the affirmative, surprised by Jin's quick analysis of the issue. When Jin saw that he agreed with his words, Jin continued his guesses.
"Somehow, the story of the fire reached the guard, and he linked the issue with the missing girl and reported to you that I had killed her. Of course, I would not be standing here now if you hadn't obtained some evidence, so show me what you have."
Jiao Ti Yi was almost mad at the boy's calm, but he calmed himself down because he was convinced that the evidence he had was undeniable, so he turned to the second witness, the outer zone guard, and asked him to testify.
"Guard Singh, why don't you bring back the facts of the incident to us?"
