Shiro: The Secret Hero
52. Session

5 Days after Shiro's arrest.

More precisely the day of the trial for the murder case Shiro committed against Shiryuu Yuki.

Shiro was taken from prison to the trial site by the Beta Academy.

The trial was conducted in a special place that had been provided by the Beta Academy party.

The parties involved also attended the conference. Among them were Shiro, the Yuki Family, the Beta Academy Party and the Hero Association.

The atmosphere in the courtroom seemed crowded when Shiro entered the courtroom. Although the Academy tried to suppress this news, it was still leaked to the outside.

Journalists rushed in and photographed Shiro for use as material for their Newspapers. All their questions were directed to Shiro. Shiro did not answer that question.

After Shiro entered, one by one the parties entered the courtroom. They sat in the place provided. Waiting for the trial to begin.

Not long after, the trial could finally begin.

The Hero Association is the witness and judge of this trial.

The trial conducted by this world was different from the trial that existed in the previous Shiro World. No prosecutors, no lawyers and all sorts of things.

Only one decisive Judge plus several witnesses searched and found strong evidence for all sorts of actions by Shiro and the Yuki Family.

"The trial for the actions of one of the Beta Academy students named Shiro against one of the Yuki Family members named Shiryuu Yuki, began." without further ado, the Judge immediately began the trial.

"Please allow the Victims of the Yuki Family to tell you about your case, chronology and prejudice against the Suspect Shiro." The judge asked the Yuki Family to explain the case.

"Yes, your honor." The Yuki Family stood up and immediately told him about the case.

They told about the mission conducted by Shiro and the others, about the Soul Monument that lost its function, until Shiro's confession after coming out of the Gate using the Interrogation skill.

After the Yuki Family party finished speaking, the Judge directly appointed a witness to speak.

The witness immediately informed the Judge of his findings, which were about the same truth as what was stated by the Yuki Family.

Witnesses here carry various documents and evidence of a complete investigation of the incident. Starting from Shiryuu's Identity, the apprentices, their daily activities, the Gate's time and date of entry, the Hero who possessed the Soul Monument skill, and others. All evidence and full evidence are issued.

The judge listened carefully while analyzing all sorts of documents.

After feeling nothing was wrong, the Judge this time asked Shiro. "With Shiro, are you really killing Hero Shiryuu Yuki?"

"Yes, your honor." Shiro answered honestly, because he could not lie.

Hearing Shiro's reply, the audience of the trial suddenly crumbled. All sorts of whispers and accusations against Shiro they lay. To the extent that the security forces had to intervene to calm the situation in the courtroom.

"Did you kill him alone or did someone else help you?" ask Judge.

"I alone killed him, your majesty" replied Shiro.

"You alone? How can you kill him ? Can you tell me?"

"My Soul Weapon has an ability that can make enemies lose consciousness for a few seconds, Shiryuu was caught off guard at that time so I could kill him. Besides, I can prove it now" Shiro replied.

The judge allowed Shiro to practice it. One of the advancing Academy parties faced Shiro.

After Aura's restraining handcuffs were removed, Shiro took out his Katana. Shiro entered Aura and activated the Dream Skill to the Academy in front of him.

After the scene's design, Shiro is back in handcuffs.

The judge asked Shiro. "What is your motive for this murder."

"After our side was exhausted beating the object of the test given by Shiryuu-senpai. Suddenly we were surrounded by many enemies. Since I felt that this was all a trap or a trick on the part of the Yuki Family to kill us, I therefore decided to kill him" Shiro replied.

The judge nodded, but the Yuki Family side did not accept Shiro's reply. "There's no way our side is trying to kill the apprentice."

"Hopefully calm down, all his words are on the influence of the skill, so it is certain to be true. After all, it's still Shiro's prejudice." said the judge answered the doubts of the Yuki Family.

The Yuki Family side nodded, they apologized for his reckless actions just now.

The incident was just a small episode, the trial resumed.

"What about the enemy ? Do you know his identity ?" ask Judge.

Shiro shakes. "I don't know their identity."

The judge again asked Shiro, "Then, what about your other interns ? Did you kill them too ?"

"No, my friends were killed by the enemy. I was lucky to have a skill that could make the enemy lose consciousness, so that I could escape and kill Shiryuu-senpai." Shiro replied in a sad tone.

One of the witnesses suddenly spoke, "Shiro's answer is right, our side has found the bodies of his two friends. Their bodies were filled with many slashes and their bodies were frozen. So the chances of Shiro killing him are small."

Hearing a statement from one of the witnesses, the judge nodded. The bodies of Denshu and Brendy were shown at the trial.

The Yuki Family were surprised by the results of this finding, because their side had already searched for the bodies of the other two apprentices, but the results were nil. They did not expect that the Academy could find his body.

After a long question and answer, finally arrived the final stage. The judge's decision on the case.

"Based on the applicable regulations, the Party who kills the Hero will be sentenced to a minimum of life imprisonment until the death penalty. Since Defendant Shiro killed the Hero for no apparent reason, Seen from various evidence. So we decided, that Defendants of Shiro will be put to DEATH." The judge decided with the sound of Palu knocking.

Hearing the Judge's decision, the atmosphere in the court room became boisterous.

The Yuki Family side was excited by this result, some parties were crying out in excitement. Signify their struggle is not in vain.

As for Shiro's side, he lowered his head limp. Trying to accept the reality of the outcome of this trial.

Flash cameras everywhere photograph a variety of expressions from both sides.

"The death sentence will be carried out a week from now. For Shiro, do you have any final requests?" Before closing the trial, the Judge asked Shiro.

"Mr Justice, I aspire to be a Hero. May I die as a Hero trying to protect my friends ?" pinta Shiro's.

"No, how could that be." the Yuki Family's side disagreed with this. But their protest was not accepted.

The judge approved Shiro's request. " Well, we'll get you your hero license and we'll give it before the death penalty starts. Of course we'll revoke yes back after the death penalty. Do you mind ?"

"No, your honor. Thank you for your kindness." Shiro replied humbly.

"Alright, we hereby declare that the Trial is Closed."

The judge descended from the podium followed by the Audiences who slowly dispersed themselves.

Shiro was taken back to prison, waiting for the death penalty to be handed to him 3 days later.
