Sword Rankers
Final Judgment (5)

"Accept" Or "No"

There are only 2 simple choices that adults give to Ran.

Ran is now calmer and not too passionate as before, so he thought long with the use of the candy.

If I eat this candy, all my words will be trusted, there will be no more rebuttal. But, the side effects were quite dire, what if there were other side effects that were more dangerous than what Farizi's supervisor had said? What if those side effects will affect my future? Think Ran deeply.

The situation became quiet for quite a while, Ran continued to stare at the candy in the hands of supervisor Farizi for quite a long time. Cold sweat flowed unnoticed on Ran's forehead.

Supervisor Farizi became impatient, "Come on Ran, quickly take it, my hands are sore."

The lady's lawyer across the street didn't let Farizi's supervisor, "Hey shut up! There can be no interference in his decision."

The judge chimed in, "That's right, superintendent, I ask that you in no way interfere in influencing the decision of the witness."

Supervisor Farizi became annoyed at being cornered, "Ck! Sensitive to these people."

Ran did not hear the adults' debate at all, he still thought long about what his decision was.

Almost 1 minute passed...

And when exactly 1 minute later...

The palm of Farizi's supervisor's hand that thrusts the "Tongue-binding candy" shuts down, like closing all of Ran's options, Ran is surprised that he hasn't decided anything yet.

Then the supervisor Farizi angrily said, "Here you go, I don't care anymore, I'm sick and tired of unstable people like you brat. Hmh! It's also my fault for wishing more on unstable teenagers."

The female lawyer across smiled happily at this scene, in her heart she cheered for feeling like she had won, Finally this stubborn man gave up!"

However, unexpectedly, Farizi's watchdog's speech instead provoked Ran.

Ran does not like to be considered a labile teenager, since long ago, since his father became damaged, Ran really does not like to be underestimated by adults.

"In-Silence you..." Ran said to the supervisor Farizi in a soft voice.

"Haaaaa....!? What the hell are you saying? I didn't hear you clearly."

"Say quiet...." Said Ran once again in the same voice as before.

Supervisor Farizi who was initially upset, smiled back to see the development of Ran, Good, he began to be provoked, just need a little more encouragement.

Once again, Farizi's supervisor brought her ears close to Ran, and in a defiant tone of voice, Farizi's supervisor said, "Come on' son, is there a problem on your tongue? If it's true, instead of coming here, you better go straight to the doctor."

Ran was getting hooked, he pulled the shabby end of his shirt, and with a quiver he said, "Be quiet you're an impatient adult, don't think of me as a child."

Supervisor Farizi grew happy, and instead, the female lawyer across the table became frightened and panicked, Damn, why is she inedible to that person's provocation anyway?

Supervisor Farizi fixed her smile and said in a mocking tone to Ran, "Hey, your voice is still shaking, but I appreciate having dared to speak. You said you didn't want to be considered a child, did you? Losing so you must have prepared your decision, right?"

Ran nodded with certainty.

"Good!" Supervisor Farizi praised Ran as she took out the "Tongue Binder" candy from inside her pocket again, and held it out to Ran.

Ran took it, although there was still doubt, but Ran was already not too afraid anymore.

The female lawyer across the table, looking for a way to prevent Ran from eating her, her client stared intently, as if telling her to take the slightest action to stop Ran.

The woman's lawyer's body trembled, sweat pouring down from both of her eyebrows, her mind was in complete chaos. Until he thinks a method is bad but effective, there is no other choice

The woman's lawyer stood up, took off her shoes and walked slowly towards Ran, no one noticed because she was too focused on Ran.

And in the final seconds, Farizi's supervisor becomes aware of the whereabouts of the woman's lawyer, who gets closer to Ran.

Superintendent Farizi was aware of the woman's lawyer's intentions, but he reacted too late.

Gubrak

The female lawyer pretends to fall and towards Ran, causing Ran to fall and be hit by the woman's lawyer.

Everyone in the room panicked.

"Son't you okay?"

"Hei Ran, the candy isn't gone, is it?"

"It hurts...." Ran complained of pain.

"ah! Ma-I'm sorry, my legs suddenly go limp, are you okay son?" The lawyer for the woman who befell Ran pretended to sympathize and help Ran, he hurriedly stood up and reached out his hand to help Ran.

Ran grabbed the lawyer's hand, and stood back up.

Supervisor Farizi asked back, "Ran where's the candy?"

Ran just realized and looked around, the candy was on the floor with a state of disintegration, Ran felt disappointed and guilty, "Sorry sir, the candy is destroyed"

Supervisor Farizi held his forehead, then sighed and shook his head, "Geez, you should have taken good care of it, the candy is indeed quite fragile so it breaks easily."

Ran looked down, while the female lawyer who became the mastermind, even smiled pettyly next to Ran

Supervisor Farizi silently looked at the lawyer, he managed to capture the fleeting moment where the lawyer smiled happily. And supervisor Farizi smiled.

Then Farizi's superintendent reached back into his pocket, out of it, appeared, "Well, I've brought two." Tongue-binding candy, it turns out Farizi's supervisor brought two tongue-binding candies.

"Akhs.... Th-That, it turns out you brought two huh? W-It's good if it's like that." The woman's lawyer, speaking stammeringly.

Clearly he was thinking of a new way to sabotage the candy.

But, supervisor Farizi had no intention of being tricked again, "Here you go, sit there, don't stand straight in front of me, it's so sickening to know."

The woman's lawyer seemed to be crying, but she held him back and sat back in his place, even though he did not like it. Her client stared ferociously at her, the female lawyer actually seemed to be about to cry.

Supervisor Farizi then opened the candy wrapper, then he clamped it with his finger and then thrust to Ran, "Cubery warning, do not hesitate anymore, just eat. If you still doubt, don't."

Hearing him, Ran instantly withdrew all his doubts, he immediately grabbed the candy and put it in his mouth.

Glug.

The candy melted quickly.

Bzzz!

Ran felt a flow of electricity radiating throughout his body instantly, making his entire body feel stiff, heavy, and sick.

Sa-Sak once, it turns out this is the effect. Ran pouted in his heart, he held his mouth to hold back the vomit while bowing in pain.

Supervisor Farizi held onto Ran's shoulder in order not to fall, "Sick a little right? Hold on for a while, over time the pain will lessen."

Ran nodded slowly to respond.

And sure enough, in just 3 minutes, the pain from tongue-binding candy was drastically reduced. Ran stood back up straight.

The judge looked into Ran's eyes which shone full of confidence, then said, "It seems like you're ready well?"

Ran nodded confidently and said firmly, "Ready sir!"

The judge smiled, "It's good that you're ready, now please explain, just now the students accused some things related to the actions of Mr. Aji who is not professional by giving more attention to 1 student without any special reason. Explain all the accusations."

Ran exhaled before replying in order to calm down, "There are some things that are true regarding their accusations, but there is a lot of exaggerated info. For example, the accusation that says if Mr. Aji gives a lot of food for me, it is exaggerated, Mr. Aji only gives a packet of chocolate as a congratulations because I got the highest score. And the paper that Mr. Aji gave me in the office was the result of my exams, I never cheated, my achievements, all I got thanks to my own efforts."

"Bo-Lying!" One of Ran's classmates suddenly cuts Ran's speech.

"I-That must be a lie, surely that candy has no effect at all right? Try to prove that you're right." One of them chimed in.

"Yes, try to prove the results first so we can believe." Ran's classmates challenge Farizi's supervisor.

Supervisor Farizi gasped at the challenge, then he asked Ran, "Hei Ran! Do you like someone or not?"

"Huh-Huh!?" Ran was very surprised to hear the sensitive question from supervisor Farizi, his face flushed like a boiled crab, and he stammered, "Te-Of course not! Si-Who is-Khekk" Ran suddenly stopped.

Ran's tongue became stiff and could not be moved like a dry canoebo. It was so painful that Ran was bent down and could not stand up straight.

Supervisor Farizi smiled at him, then proudly said, "Nah look! That's proof, if you lie your tongue won't be moved. And in addition, there is great pain to give a sense of threat so as not to lie. It would save time, because it would be a waste of time if he kept lying."

"Ukh...." Ran's classmate who originally loudly spoke, returned silent.

Meanwhile, Ran looked at the supervisor Farizi with annoyance, in his heart he cursed, Cih, you should explain from the beginning.

While looking at Ran's circumstances, the judge asked Farizi's supervisor, "How long will the effects last?"

"Just 1 minute."

.

.

The 1 minute of torture was finally over.

Ran stood up straight again and exhaled his breath back.

The judge's getting interested in the candy, "Hmm.... Very effective yah~"

Superintendent Farizi happily chimed in on the judge's remark, "Yes right~ I told you this is indeed the best."

Hmh! They don't think about me at all?" Ran cursed in his heart.

The judge then asked, "Then, this is the biggest problem, someone said you were given permission to enter the test room first. And according to the rules, you shouldn't be allowed to enter the test room first, no matter if you're done with the previous test. Honestly, it sounds trivial, but for me this is quite serious. Not a few cases of cheating where students sabotage the test room in order to get high scores."

*Gle*

Ran swallowed his saliva.

It is not a lie at all and is not exaggerated, and it does not happen once. From the first year, Mr. Aji did often give permission to enter the test room first than others. And Mr. Aji's actions do look very loving.

Ran wanted to change it a little, but because of the tongue-binding candy, he did not dare to lie, so he answered truthfully, "Yes that's true, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the accusation."

The judge stared doubtfully, "Hmm... If it's like this, Mr. Aji will get into further trouble."

Supervisor Farizi and Mr. Aji just quietly heard it, they have decided to believe in Ran. Hence they just kept quiet to keep their trust in Ran.

"Wait sir!" Ran prevented the judge from making any further decisions.

"Why? Is there anything less?"

"Yes sir! The less is the reason why Mr. Aji gave the special permission."

"Reason? I don't know what reason is enough to give a disciple special permission."

Ran was silent for a moment, as his decision to speak would change his fate completely. Ran looked at the supervisor Farizi and Mr. Aji for a moment, when they realized they were being looked at by Ran, they both nodded as if to convince Ran on his choice.

Alright, they already believe me, then because of that, I should repay their trust completely.

Ran took a deep breath until he felt calm, then then, in a very soft voice, Ran said, "Sir judge, do you know what my status is in school? What is my background in school? What is the attitude of those around me? And how do teenagers behave?"

"...." - ".The judge was silent, he did not understand the intention of Ran.

"I come from a poor family, I am Hyper with low strength, I was always insulted and underestimated by all Hyper in school. Do you know? These teenagers! The teenagers who she says need this guidance, always bother me? And not just me, the Hyper with low power always receive very severe discrimination. They're hammering, punching, and even making the Hyper weak as their toys."

The judge became interested in this topic.

Ran pointed to a classmate, "He, gave me iced coffee that has been given cigarette ash and saliva, then forced me to drink it to the end."

"Th-That's...." The person who appointed Ran a drunkenness.

Ran's finger moved to another, "He, often made 1st graders as sandbags behind the school, and fed them with toilet water."

"He-Hey! T-That's slander."

Ran's finger keeps moving to all his classmates, he tells all the bad behavior of his classmates.

Until we get to the leader who is behind it. Michael's!

"And... She's..." Ran trembled as he was about to let out Michael's ugliness. Michael stared bitterly at Ran.

Ran continued to tremble until crying, and with a sobbing, Ran told all the things Michael did, "He... Hix... Hit me, break my uniform, take my money, hicks... Locked me in the toilet till night... Slandering me in front of the teachers... Excommunicating me... And even beat me to death and left me when Gate Break happened!" The atmosphere became excited.

Michael's last act sounded terrible. It's the same as killing someone.

Brakk!!!

Michael kicked his desk, trying to reverse the fact, "Bohongggg!!! You insolent!!! Hey you guys! That's not true, is it?" Michael asked the friends beside him, but they just kept quiet, refusing to defend Michael.

Michael turns to Bardolf, "Hey! Bardolf, explain it to them! That's all a lie, explain! Ahey! You heard me, right?"

Bardolf was silent on Michael's orders, but he would usually obey without asking.

"Hey! Bardolf, do it fast!" Michael's getting a little press on Bardolf.

And then, for the first time, Bardolf did the opposite of him, "Sorry Michael, now you can't dodge anymore. Don't avoid your mistakes. And I'm not the doll you can tell." Bardolf said firmly.

Michael was so shocked to hear it, he gritted his teeth furiously, the entire vein on his face came out, "Kauuuu.... Don't know it's lucky! You two, you lowlife!" Michael said furiously as well as quivering.

Seeing this, the judge came to his own conclusion, "It seems I don't need to ask anymore."

Michael's wits broke right then and there, the patience he kept, lost right then and there, "AAAAARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Michael jumped towards Ran and Bardolf like a beast.

Ran and Bardolf did not escape.

But unexpectedly, the man who brought Ran here, immediately moved quickly to block Michael.

With one hand, he gripped Michael's face as if he was holding a kitten.

"Grrrrr!!!!!!" Michael snarled like an animal.

Srak Srek Srak Michael tried to escape by clawing the man's arm.

But, let alone let go, even Michael could not scratch the man's arm.

The man exhaled and clasped Michael even tighter.

As a result, Michael lost consciousness and fainted.

And just then, the judge announced his decision, "With this! I decided that the students of the Hyper XXX special school, 3rd grade, I declared guilty, with the punishment of repeating the class for 3 years!!!!"

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

The hammer of the judge, marking the end of this trial.

From the plaintiff's side, they all breathed a sigh of relief and were satisfied with the end.

Instead, the defendant sat limp and terrified.

While Ran, he felt very satisfied, his patience yielded sweet results. All the pain he had put out, felt the same as taking off all the pain in his body at once.

Ran also felt very tired due to tongue-binding candy, he scratched and almost fell. And fortunately, the supervisor Farizi and Mr. Aji restrained Ran's body which almost fell. They smiled proudly and said, "Good Work"
