"What is the hearing, why is that kid's face white?"

The elf couldn't help but ask.

"It's a terrible thing, but the starting point is good...... Mu Yan smiled bitterly.

There is no such damn system in elven society, because elves are orators, and they will debate privately for decades because of a contradiction, and finally let the anger be diluted by time and disappear into invisibility......

This talent anthropology does not come.

Jialan's hearings resemble a jury system, but they are not all the same, but they are all originally aimed at resolving conflicts fairly, which is exactly the same as on Earth.

Even the trajectory of this system is as deviated as that of the earth, and it gradually becomes a tool in the hands of some people under the guise of "scientific rigor, objectivity and justice", as Milan Kundera said, this is an era of poets and executioners, and hearings become the pen in the hands of poets, and the executioners write ornate accompaniments.

Back in Lokan, the Jialan Academy's hearing was also well intentioned.

The purpose of the hearing was to mediate the conflict, because the early Jialan students were all nobles, and for the aristocracy, the pure court was too serious and blunt, and it would be disgraceful to the aristocracy. Ignoring the law and failing to demonstrate their knowledge and self-cultivation, the hearing came into being, and it is also the school's practice of throwing the conflict on the students themselves in order to deflect the conflict.

In essence, it can be understood as "you can quarrel by yourself if you like to quarrel, and the school provides a place for a fee-based quarrel".

And in order to prevent frequent quarrels, both parties involved in the hearing face suspension until one party apologizes and admits the mistake and the other party accepts.

The move was well received upon its launch, and the aristocratic students hated being "suspended".

Suspension of classes means not enough attendance credits, and not enough points means repeating a grade...... Repeating a grade is not only a shame for paying an extra year of tuition.

The real nobles cared about this, because the purpose of their visit to Jialan was nothing more than to gild, and to serve as a talking point for their group of over-energetic relatives, and to put gold on their faces.

However, once they repeat a grade, the news will spread like an enchantment "light body technique", and it won't be long before their elders are pointed at and laughed at at the ball for an entire year...... Closeness has also become a face paste.

Throughout the ages, it was often the old nobles who could restrain the aristocracy.

Therefore, the hearing system is rarely used by the aristocracy, and even if it does, it will end quickly, after all, neither side can afford to survive.

However, no tool is immune to abuse.

Like now.

Barry was so interested in the girl named Judy Hops that he even thought that even if Dridge bowed his head and confessed his mistake, he would never accept it unless the other party brought Judy with him to plead with him.

Once things develop to that point, all he has to do is to break down the other party's dignity and psychological defense line little by little, and trample on the other party wantonly.

The thought of what would happen next made him feel more excited than ever.

After all, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a novel prey, and even Samuel is crazy about that "stubborn" Miss Judy, can he take his prey and slap him in the face, is there a more important reason than that?

Without.

What is repetition compared to this feeling? When Barry is out, it should be Deridge who really can't hold on, after all, he doesn't care about the shame of repeating a grade or the tuition fees......

But Dridge cares......

……

After listening to Mu Yan's explanation, Amath fell into deep thought.

He looked at the kneeling boy below, and seemed to feel his despair from afar.

"And what is he going to do?" Genie asked.

"What to do? Chilled. Mu Yan shrugged, "Fortunately, Jialan's hearing system is not rotten, except for the hearing committee that will inevitably be bought by the aristocracy, the public seat still has 50% of the decision-making power." That means if Dridge can buy 500 students to occupy all the public seats, then he can tie it. Isn't it ironic? The tool aimed at solving problems fairly has been reduced to a board wrestling wrists behind the scenes, competing for the absolute strength of the 'unfair' on both sides......"

Amacer glanced at him, saw that the scholar was still smiling, and couldn't help but say, "You have the time to tell me so carefully, don't you really plan to do something?" ”

"Did I write it on my face?" Mu Yan asked in surprise.

"Or else?" Amatho pursed his lips and turned to leave.

"Tsk......"

Mu Yan smacked his lips, glanced down at Dridge, threw down a sentence of "It's pitiful" and left.

-------------------

The hearing opened the next morning, so for Dridge, he still had a day.

But what can you do in a day?

In his opinion, nothing can be done.

But just as Dridge was about to give up, Miss Judy suddenly leaned down and put her hand on his shoulder.

The uniform of the academy was not thick, and he could feel the warmth of the girl's palm through the thin clothes, and the feeling spread to his whole body like an electric shock.

"Derridge."

Dridge looked up, an unnatural flush on his face.

He suddenly felt that the other party's voice was very good, soft, but very firm.

"Thank you for what you did." Judy smiled, "Can you tell me who Barry is?" ”

Dridge nodded, but a little overwhelmed.

Am I supposed to do something? At least...... Not on your knees like you are now?

"Let's go to the academy's tavern and sit down." He stood up with Judy's support.

"Okay."

……

About an hour later, the "Palm Leaves" tavern of the Academy.

Dridge gulped down a glass of orange liquor with grapefruit juice, the spicy liquid irritating his mouth like a blazing fire.

He seemed to burn away the depression in his heart in this way.

"Hiccup—son—"

Putting down the wine glass, he felt much more comfortable.

"That's about it, so I'm ready to admit my mistake to him." Dridge pulled out a self-deprecating smile: "I can't afford it...... He also knows that I can't afford to put it off, besides, who knows what tricks are behind it? Those aristocrats—the real aristocrats, twisting me to death is like twisting an ant to death. ”

He glanced at Judy, and the girl had guilt and unease on her face.

I seem to have said something too much?

"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself, Miss Judy." He smiled, "I'll shoot anyone else......"

What's more, we are fellow villagers...... He added in his heart.

"Jialan Academy is not the paradise you dream of, at least not yet, I hope you can go longer in the future and stay away from those damn nobles."

After speaking, he inexplicably felt a sad atmosphere, pursed his lips, stood up and shook away.

Judy clutched the corners of her skirt, her knuckles white, and she didn't stumble to her feet until Dridge walked away.

"Barry Perez lives in the Cruze neighborhood, if I go and beg him ......"

The girl pursed her lips and thought for a long time.

Of course she knew what would happen if she begged Barry herself—even worse than that. But if you watch others take on all this for you because of fear, I'm afraid you'll live in guilt for the rest of your life.

Eventually, the girl mustered up the courage to step out of the tavern and disappear into the night.
