A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

"This is a joke too, right?"

Xuanhao's eyes turned a little gloomy and asked.

"Not really."

Riche responded as a matter of course, "I just felt a possibility from the death and return journey."

"The law is sometimes powerless. So what about the general rules of death, destruction and return? If the spell I got is genuine, then the general rules should be real too, right?"

"If there is no need for litigation or prosecution, and no need to waste manpower and resources arguing about truth and falsehood, and anyone who violates the general rules will be punished, just as everything needs to follow the laws of physics,"

"What a wonderful thing that would be!"

"I admit that there are some problems in the general principles. But I would like to continue to pay attention to the foundation of the migration - the barrier technique. I don't want it to collapse so early."

"Especially Articles 2 and 8 of the General Principles."

"From the perspective of the rules, I also believe that being deprived of a technique means death. I want to witness a 'ritual deprivation' with my own eyes." Hikari Hiromi said as a matter of course.

"Death and Reunion is a ritual in itself." Xuan Hao said, "If you delay any longer, everyone in this country will die."

"...That's a rumor." Hikari Kuanjian didn't care. "The purpose of Death and Destruction Return Tour is to maintain its long-term operation."

“I don’t really understand either!!”

Xuanhao felt a little headache, "Then let me put it another way. Give us your 100 points, Japanese car."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists and cursed power surged.

"Have you ever killed someone who made you unhappy?" Hikari Kuanjian climbed out of the bathtub and asked calmly while looking at the aggressive Xuan Hao, "It's more refreshing than I thought."

He was seen holding the gavel in his hand, and a black shadow like a cursed spirit appeared behind him.

“Shikigami!?”

Looking at this scene, Xuan Hao was slightly startled.

"The Japanese driver has 100 points, and he has probably killed 20 magicians. We can't attack rashly! Although it will be a bit passive, we should wait for him to attack first, and then counter his moves..."

He thought so.

However, who knew that Japanese car Kuanjian would start with a big move.

"The field is expanded. The enemy is punished and put to death."

All I heard was Hikari Kuanjian speaking in a faint voice.

Then the surrounding environment changed, and Xuan Hao seemed to be locked in a court.

Xuan Hao leaped up and kicked towards Hikari Hiromi, but his attack stopped in front of Hikari Hiromi.

"!?"

"All violence is prohibited here."

Higurashi Kanmi explained calmly, "I treat both you and me equally."

"Equal treatment?"

Xuan Hao returned to the judgement seat on the other side, feeling somewhat confused.

"Oh, sorry, verbal violence is another matter." Hikari Hiromi continued to explain, and then said to the shadow behind him, "Judge, begin."

"Although Xuanhao is under 18 years old, he is suspected of visiting the pachinko parlor 'Machi Vegas' in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture on July 2017, 7."

The judge at the back spoke calmly.

"What?"

Xuan Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then seemed to remember something.

"Ah... Oh~~~~~? That? This~~~~~"

"The judge knows all the information about people in the area." Hikari Hiromi explained calmly, "But don't worry, I won't share the relevant information. In the end, the judgment will be based on the arguments of you and me."

"Except for this 'evidence'."

As he spoke, he took out a document.

"When did you get it?!" Xuan Hao looked at the document that suddenly appeared with some confusion.

"This is the relevant evidence submitted by the judge for this case," Hikari Hiromi explained, "but the 'evidence' may not necessarily prove your suspicion. Of course, I won't tell you what's inside. Now, you must make a self-defense statement and obtain the judge's 'not guilty' verdict."

"The trial ritual...!! And that badge... It turns out he is really a lawyer!!" Xuanhao finally understood the identity of Hikari Hiromi.

“But how come his words and actions are more like a prosecutor?

“Although Japanese cars are modern, this field is just like what Master Tianyuan said…”

"For magicians in the past, domain was a more basic technique than it is for magicians today. The reason for this is that the 'must-kill' part of the 'must-hit, must-kill' technique that is common in domains today was omitted in the past."

"It forces its own 'spell' to take effect and 'hit' the target within the domain. This was the function of the general domain in the past."

"Later generations of magicians were obsessed with 'must kills', and the threshold for constructing domains continued to rise. Eventually, domains became more difficult techniques, and the number of users decreased significantly."

"That is to say, this field is not a 'must-kill' field, nor will it cause any physical harm to me. Moreover, I must be given a certain degree of explanation of the rules to meet the conditions for 'binding' before it can be established!"

Xuanhao was thinking.

Higurashi continued to explain, "You only have one chance to make your statement. The same applies to me. After you make your statement, I will only have one chance to refute you based on the evidence in my hand. In the end, the judge will make a judgment based on the Six Laws."

"What will happen if you are found guilty?" Xuan Hao asked.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not obligated to answer your question." Hikari Kuromi refused to answer, "But I can tell you something else. You have three options: silence, confess, or deny. Denial also includes false statements."

"So you can still lie?" Xuan Hao was even more confused. "Isn't this a trial?"

"If everyone tells the truth, there will be no need for a trial," Hiromi Hiromi explained as a matter of course.

Then, he reminded Xuan Hao: "Begin your defense. The judge has little patience."

"..."

Xuanhao thought in silence for a while.

"I did go to that pachinko parlor and I think I won a little bit... If I claim to be innocent, I have to lie. In this case, I have to consider... the content of that 'evidence'!!"

"The evidence may not necessarily prove your suspicion."

"If the evidence is 'rubbish' that cannot prove I entered the slot machine hall, silence or denial is OK."

"If the evidence can only prove that I did go into the store, then I can just tell a little lie?"

"But if that evidence is just rubbish, then maybe I'll be digging a hole for myself by voluntarily admitting to having been in the store?"

"If the evidence can not only prove that I went into the store, but also prove that I played the game... then it's basically over...!!"

"Should we choose to confess and seek leniency? But then again, is there any distinction between light and heavy sentences in this trial?"

Thinking of this, Xuanhao started to defend himself: "I did go into the pachinko hall 'Machi Vegas'! But that was just because I suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, so I went in and used the restroom!! Therefore, I am not guilty!!"

Don't think too much.

Although I don’t know whether there is any discretion in sentencing here, I feel that this gives it a better impression…!!

"Really? Then...it's my turn."

Risha Kuanjian heard the story and took out the evidence from the documents.

"This is the footage captured by the surveillance camera at a second-hand store near Machi Vegas on the day of the incident... To put it bluntly, it's the footage captured by the exchange office at the pachinko parlor. His appearance and body shape are enough to confirm that this is Xuan Hao himself, right?"

"He has personally admitted to entering the store, so this photo shows that his claim to have used the restroom is totally unreliable. Therefore, it is confirmed that Xuanhao entered the entertainment venue for the purpose of having fun while under the age of 18."

Xuan Hao covered his face with regret after hearing this. "What kind of crime is that?"

"There is a notice posted at the door of the store, clearly stating that people under the age of 18 are not allowed to enter." Hikari Kuanjian said calmly, "It is a crime of illegal trespass. Article 130 of the Criminal Law states that if it is based on the 'Custom Business Law', minors who violate the regulations will not be punished themselves."

"You are too cunning." Xuan Hao was speechless, "Then no matter how I explain, it is meaningless."

"That's wrong. Gambling is strictly prohibited in Japan, so entertainment venues and money-changing shops are under different legal names." Hisha Hiromi raised the gavel in his hand and explained calmly, "There are even cases where multiple shops share the same shop to exchange money. The question asked this time is whether you have ever been to Machi Vegas. You just need to say that you don't know such a shop and deny your suspicion. Oh, the verdict hasn't been made yet."

"clang--"

"Guilty, confiscated."

As the gavel in Hikari Kuanjian's hand fell, Xuanhao felt as if nothing had changed.

“I’m back to the original space…!? Even though I was found guilty, nothing seems to have changed…”

Xuanhao looked at his palm with some confusion.

At this moment, Hikari Hiromi rushed towards him.

The small gavel in Hitachi Kuanjian's hand suddenly became huge and hit him.

Xuan Hao subconsciously tried to gather his magical power for defense, but found that his magical power had disappeared.

"This wooden hammer can disappear and appear at will, and can also change size at will!? And, more importantly... it can't gather magical power anymore."

"You are really strong."

Hirotsugu Hiromi was a little surprised when he saw Xuanhao, who was knocked away by his hammer but was not seriously injured.

"That's my strength."

Xuanhao smiled and finally understood the disadvantages of being "guilty".

The 59th practical internship is with Hiromi Nishikawa, who belongs to the Iwate Bar Association.

I applied to the Faculty of Law at T University, and before Japan introduced the law school system, I easily passed the old judicial examination which was full of difficulties.

Those who know Japanese cars all call them "genius".

However, for Japanese cars, it is just a simple operation to input the knowledge that must be mastered into the brain and then extract the knowledge to be used when needed.

His greatest shining point is actually his talent as a sorcerer.

When he figured out the principle of the initial domain of his own technique, he understood the basics of barrier technique.

Then he reversed the barrier technique and mastered the trick of strengthening the technique through the manipulation of cursed power.

In just 12 days since he acquired the technique, he had grown to a level that was no less than that of a first-level magician.

Before entering the barrier, he killed many cursed spirits and killed more than 20 players.

"Is it possible that the cursed energy cannot be condensed?"

After attacking many times without any effect, Hikari Kuanjian stopped and asked Xuanhao.

"?"

Xuan Hao was slightly stunned, then asked, "You are the one who did this, right?"

"The penalty for 'confiscation' is that the target is temporarily unable to use the spell," Higurashi replied, "and from what I can see, you don't have any spells. So the penalty automatically becomes 'not being able to use cursed energy'. By the way, confiscation is an additional penalty, not a separate sentence."

"..."

The atmosphere was silent.

Higurashi Hiromi looked at the young man in front of him with some confusion.

“This is a bit embarrassing for me, but… why is it that he can be on par with me even though he has no cursed energy…!? He doesn’t rely on the ability of a sorcerer, but on his natural body!! As a living being, his strength is ridiculously high…!!”

"It is not uncommon for magicians to lose their ability to use spells, even their basic mana manipulation skills become seriously distorted. This is because their sixth sense accumulated over the years has also become dull."

"And being unable to use cursed energy at all is even more disadvantageous than that!"

"But the fact is that in this state, he can still have such fighting power!!"

"If it were an ordinary magician, the outcome would probably have been decided in the initial confrontation."

"If I'm careless, I'll be caught in the act."

"We must defeat him with all our strength......!!!"

Thinking of this, Hikari Kuanjian turned the wooden hammer in his hand into a long-handled weapon and attacked Xuan Hao with all his strength.

But his attack didn't have much effect on Xuan Hao.

After several consecutive attacks, the wooden hammer in his hand was almost taken away.

Fortunately, this wooden hammer can disappear at any time.

boom--

Finally, Hirotsugu Hiromi enlarged the hammer and smashed it down at Xuanhao without mercy.

click -

The ground cracked instantly.

But Xuanhao actually withstood the attack.

"!!"

“You are so awesome!!”

Even Higurashi Hiromi couldn't help but praise him.

It feels like I'm fighting an indestructible puppet!!
But Xuanhao's situation is not easy at all.

It would be too much for this body to rely solely on the physical body to resist the attack of Kurumi Kuromi after his cursed power was enhanced.

“Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!! How long is this going to last? Cursed power!! We have to take it back quickly!!”

"Such an outrageous ability should...should have some very unfavorable conditions for Japanese cars, right!?"

He thought frantically.

“Think quickly!!”

“Think quickly!!”

“Think carefully!!”

"The Judgment Ritual!!"

“Judgment——!!”

Suddenly, Xuan Hao had an idea.

"Fuck the car!!! Come again!! Another court session!!"

Sure enough, just after Xuanhao shouted this.

The two were dragged into the court again.

"…Did you find out?"

The Japanese car stopped and sighed.

"That was close... This is the second trial, right?" Xuan Hao breathed a sigh of relief. (End of this chapter)
