Warlock of War: My Ares System

This guy… is insane.

My father told me to never fuck with guys like this, but I hated that red-haired bitch anyway, so I hope whatever he does… completely crushes her.

…

(Orion POV)

Just before I went back to my dorm, I visited the library once again to ask the librarian for a favor.

"Do you think I can see the contract that my parental guardian signed?"

"Sure, but what do you need it for?"

"Oh, he wanted to review some of the terms because I got us in trouble, and the opposing family is about to take us to court… so…."

"*sigh*... I guess,"

In just a few minutes, the contract had been printed, and granny gave me some kind words as I left.

"I hope you're not a slave of some household by the next time I see you!"

"Sure, sure,"

I then made my way down the hallway… towards the headmaster's office.

…

The next day, in first period, somebody came to get me, and everybody already knew what was about to happen.

"I don't know who you offended, but you should probably just accept all their terms so your punishment won't be as bad,"

The person who had picked me up was my Gun Theory teacher.

"Mhm,"

"Orion, I'm worried for you here. You're a smart kid from what I've seen on your entrance exams, so don't ruin your life just because of this one slip up,"

"What is the level of court she's taking me to?" I ask, ignoring my teacher's advice.

"*sigh*... It's the highest possible level her family can control…."

"So, do you think the Judge is biased?"

"Never which is good, because he'll probably try and give you the lightest punishment possible… Which still probably won't be as good, but you don't have to worry about the family persuading the judge. He is absolute neutrality,"

"I see… That's good," I mutter before grabbing the handles of my backpack.

This is going to be fun…

…

"Order in the court! Order in the court!" The judge shouts, wacking the gavel against the small wooden plate.

BAM BAM BAM

And with that, everybody shut up… And the trial began.

It was a pretty small court, but I could already tell the people on the sidelines were very important due to the number of guards surrounding them.

I was at my station, and Bella was at her station, with somebody who I assumed to be her guardian.

Uncle? Maybe father?

But somebody who actually caught my eye was the headmaster of the school I attended, sitting near the front of the

"Miss Wony, you may state your reason for being here,"

"Yes, I was harassed by this boy here, and he refuses to apologize to me. I even have proof from some of the security cameras that were around,"

Suddenly, on the screen behind the judge, a video of when she dragged me away and backed me up into a wall was played… but our positions were switched.

I glanced at the headmaster, who slightly glared at Bella.

She's too arrogant… She thinks she can get her way.

"And what do you have to say for that, Mister Orion?" The judge asks me, and I give my honest answer.

"What a load of bullshit,"

The air in the room got heavier, and Bella was even a bit surprised at my response as she probably thought she intimated me enough.

"Mister Orion, please refrain from using profanity as this is recorded. Also, may you state the reason why you say Miss Wony's accusation is false?"

"Because that is not possible. There is no way she was able to get access to the security cameras, and I believe the headmaster here can confirm,"

I saw Bella visibility gulp a large drop of saliva, but upon seeing the headmaster unphased, she regained her confidence.

This is so funny to watch.

"So, Miss Wony, we have taken the video in secret to confirm its authenticity and have found out that it is forged, but it was taken from a security camera,"

Oh, I didn't even notice there was a security camera there…

"W-what! HOW DARE YOU!" She cries out, but the judge calmly glares at her, no fucks given.

"Damn," I muttered.

"IF YOU GIVE ME HIM, MY FAMILY WILL SHOWER YOU WITH RICHES!" She immediately lost her cool instead of trying to come up with an excuse… a reaction fitting for a child.

"QUIET!" He shouts, shutting her up, but her anger wasn't quelled in the slightest.

She literally looked as if she was about to explode.

"Your honor, may I add something?"

"Go ahead,"

Suddenly, I opened the file that I had brought with me and revealed a single piece of paper.

"This is the contract that my parental guardian had to sign, and on one of the terms provided by the headmaster, it says, I quote, 'All students within the vicinity of the school campus, are deemed equal. The influence of families will not be used here.' Plus, if you would like to check after this trial, the headmaster even said that we are equal while in school," I explained.

"Your honor, are you seriously going to believe this rampant child. He clearly forged that document. Look at how messy the signature is," The man standing next to Bella speaks up for the first time.

And Bella looked at him as if he was a beaming light of hope before smiling with an evil expression towards me.

"As the headmaster is here, why don't we have him check the authenticity," The judge says while gesturing for the esteemed headmaster to come up to me.

"As you wish," The headmaster says before jogging up to my station but doesn't even glance at the paper.

"With all due respect, sir, but shouldn't you check this arrogant boy's paper?" The man standing beside Bella says, with the most urging yet polite attitude I'd ever heard.

"Sir Wony, but do you take me for an idiot? Are you intentionally slandering my handwriting?" The headmaster asks.

"B-but sir, please check. That handwriting is clearly off,"

"Mister Orion here has already confirmed the signature is mine the day before. I can even bring up the real security camera footage as proof," The headmaster glares at the man.

"W-with all do respect-"

"QUIET!" The judge shouts, and this time the man was fuming in anger while Bella's face had paled in fear.

"You know what, play the footage," The headmaster says.

The footage played.

The room was silent.

And the Wony family was defeated.

"Now that is all the proof we need! The sentence for-"

"Your honor, I'm not finished," I interrupt the judge.

Everybody was shocked by my interruption, but I was about to get to the juicy part…

"What is it, Mister Orion?"

"I haven't finished what I was saying,"

The headmaster next to me glared, but I ignored him and did the same with everybody else in the room.

"Ah, please continue,"

The judge was a bit displeased with my attitude, but I won't be able to pull off my next move with no confidence.

"I believe the Wony family should be punished harder due to them breaking the contract with the school by using the headmaster to gain footage and manipulate it. Also, I believe I should receive some sort of compensation for all the stress I've been under,"

"Are you joking with me, Mister Orion?" The judge asks.

"Does it look like I'm joking?"
