Chapter 372 - Investigation (2) (2/2)

Auron's opponent didn't answer anything. Getting no answer, the judge started to move to Auron, ”You! What did you give to him that made him this obedient?”

”I didn't give anything. I also didn't know why he surrenders the fight.” Auron answered. He was disappointed because he was blamed even though he didn't do it.

”Both of you make this hard for me.” The judge started to read the investigation report he received.

However, to his shock, the judge also could not find any result from the investigation report. He called the leader of the investigation team. Then, both of them whispered to each other about the issue.

Because of this, the audiences also started to speculate on why the judge act like that. Whispered also heard among the audiences.

Slowly, the whisper's sound became loud enough and it disturbed the trial. The judge slammed his hammer and shouted, ”Silence! The trial is suspended for 1 hour.”

”Both of you, if you want to confess, this is your last chance!” The judge said to Auron and his opponent.

Then, the trial was suspended. The judge went with the investigation team, while the suspects were brought back to their waiting room. Meanwhile, the audiences were told to exit the trial room until the trial started again.

Auron was back in his room. He looked at his front while thinking about what the judge's action means. However, seeing the judge's action, Auron knew it was a good thing for him.

It seemed that the investigation team didn't find any fault or at least a proof. This means that Auron should be free from any punishment.

One hour later, Auron was called back to the trial room. As soon as the judge sat at his seat, he said, ”Say it! Why do you surrender?”

Auron's opponent kept his silence. ”Why are you silent? Are you afraid that the one who backed him up will kill you?”

”Don't you afraid we can protect you if you want to blurt everything out.” The judge started to entice Auron's opponent once again.

However, it looked like it could not move Auron's opponent at all. ”Why are you so stubborn?”

”Fine! If you want to do this. Up to you!”

”Let me announce the trial's result!”

”You!” The judge pointed at Auron's opponent, ”The investigation team could not find any reason and proof. However, we, the military, don't like the act of surrendering. Moreover, it was without any reason or at least the parties involved don't want to say it at all. Hence, we decided to demote you one full rank.”

”You will become intermediate private effective starting tomorrow. Also, you will be fine with 3 months of salaries.”

”As for you!” The judge pointed at Auron. ”We cannot blame you or accused you without any proof. However, we also cannot accept the match result. Hence, you will have another match for your promotion. After this, you can pick your opponent once again.”

”The trial ended here!” The judge left grumpily.
