Chapter start:

A lone man was walking on the street, it was night. He was still wearing his uniform, as he didn't have a chance to change yet. A motorcycle speeded up on an empty road, another person using the same uniform was driving it. The man looked at his back at the noisy vehicle was getting closer, only to scream in terror as he saw the driver holding a weapon. The man tried to run, but it was useless.

Part 1: Before the trial, 9:50AM, Defendant Lobby No. 2.

Atsuko Kagari couldn't keep herself from moving, she was nervous to dead. She had been waiting for a long time for this chance, she had been studying and she now she even had her own [Attorney's Badge]. She should be happy, if it were not because…

"This is your first case. Are you sure you are going to be okay…?" Chariot Du Nord asked concerned, she was Akko's mentor.

"O-o-of course I'm perfectly fine! There is worry to nothing! Nothing to worry!" The new lawyer answered.

"Akko, if you believe in your client that makes up your verdict." The redhead answered with a smile, which made the brunette calm down a little, at least, enough to take this case.

"Amanda is my friend! She might be troubles, but she would never kill someone." She said confident, she knew she needed to believe in her and prove her innocence. "And speaking of the devil." Amanda appeared on the room, the trial was about to start.

"So Akko, can you get me out of jail?" The troublemaker joked and messed with Akko's hair.

"You are not even in jail yet!" Her lawyer protested.

"Could you not say 'yet' in front of your client…?" Her mentor asked with a nervous laugh as she pushed her glasses back. That of course lasted only a few seconds before she gave Akko a confident smile. "I will be right beside you, tell me if you need help."

"It's time." The bailiff called, and they walked to the courtroom.

Part 2: Trial, 10:00AM, District Court – Courtroom No. 2.

"The court is now in session for the trial of Ms. Amanda O'neill." Judge Miranda Holbrooke announced. Akko stared right in front of her and saw the person she was waiting to meet again, if only it wouldn't be on her first trial, that is.

"The prosecution is as ready as always, Your Honor." Diana Cavendish claimed before staring coldly at the defense attorney.

"The, uh, defense is ready, I think." Akko had been waiting for a long time to meet her again, but the fact that she did on her first trial only worried the brunette. Diana Cavendish had not lost a single case on her three years of being a prosecutor, after all.

"Oh my, you don't seem quite ready." The judge placed one of her hands on her cheek.

"But why?!" Akko couldn't understand, perhaps she felt like she was dying, but she knew she could win this trial, even against someone like Diana, because her client is innocent.

"Because this is only a demo! Thank you for playing."

To be continued…

AN: Hello! I have tried to create some way to upload the actual first trial here, but without the maps I don't think that's actually possible... So.. I decided to upload the demo version here and place a link to Ao3 where those things actually work. archiveofourown,org/works/12190332 (change the , for a . )

Anyway, I'm really sorry, I even tried drawing the map in ASCII but FF simply deletes it. Anyway, this being posted here now it's just a way to promote the actual fic. I will keep updating on here any other thing I write but THIS ONE seems imposible.

Thank you for reading!
