Phoenix was allowed into the courtroom early for a few reasons: to prepare everything for the trial, to make sure everything is ready for the witness, and making sure the lights are carefully propped, because the witness… Well… Is a monster who controls electricity. Phoenix then notices the prosecutor side of the court and goes to it. "I know this is illegal," Phoenix thought, "But something isn't right about the prosecutor's claims." He didn't know the judge was early too, and he jumped once he heard him, "Mr. Wright? What are you doing here?" Phoenix turned to the judge standing behind him, "Y-Your Honor!" The judge looks at him, "Are you alright, Mr. Wright?" Phoenix nods in reply, nervous. "Well good," the judge responded, "I was coming to tell you that the prosecutor's claims were incorrect for an unknown reason, but it seems you had that feeling, too." Phoenix rubs the back of his head in reply, laughing nervously, "Yes, sir, I guess so." Phoenix then clears his throat and picks up the prosecutor's papers, "The files should have some proof of his mislead claims."
He then looked over the files, and sees so many other prosecutor names, and even a female prosecutor were shown in the prosecutor files. This angered both of them, especially Phoenix, who has had experience in defence, "What the absolute hell?! These are all claims from all the prosecutors that were supposed to be in court!" "The prosecutor has committed an illegal identity fraud on the prosecutor side of the court," Judge exclaims, "This prosecutor is a fraud!" Phoenix then proclaims, "Your Honor, this prosecutor may have something to do with the crime, and I think he is covering up for it. We need this as evidence to the court, sir." Judge nods his head, "Alright, I don't usually allow these sort of things in court, but since we're the early birds, I'll allow it." "Thank you, Your Honor," Phoenix responded, "This case will be resolved sooner than the court will think."
Both the judge and Phoenix look around to see what else is there to be useful. After a little while, the judge found his gavel broken somehow, "Egad! My gavel!" Phoenix turned to the judge's pedestal and rushed to the judge's side, "What happened, Your Honor?!" "It's my prized gavel," Judge yelled, "Someone broke it in half!" This was a serious problem, since the judge needs his gavel, he can't place order in the court. "This is ridiculous," Phoenix remarked, angry, "Not only is this a disrespect to the criminal justice, but a disrespect to the court!" And with that, Phoenix stood up, "We'll settle this when the court starts!" The judge nods, taping his gavel back together with duct tape, "Indeed we shall." After the judge tapes his gavel back together, he tested it to see if it will hold until he gets a new one, then walks off the pedestal. They both gather new information and prepare everything for today's court.

Both the judge and Phoenix found themselves to be sleeping in their respective places, and woke up with a jolt as the jury walks in. Phoenix rubs his Head, "I wonder how long I slept? Must be an hour or so." Phoenix then prepares his large amount of evidence that he gathered yesterday and today, and prepared to speak in court. All except for one witness sat in their respective places, and were ready to begin.

The judge bangs his gavel to start the trial, "We will now continue the trial for Class S, Rank 14: Genos aka 'The Demon Cyborg.'" The prosecutor, who Phoenix was on the whole time, stood, "The prosecution is ready, Your Honor." Then Phoenix stood, "The defence is ready, Your Honor." The judge nods then speaks, "From where we left off, there was a short break between where the grocery store was located. It was way off course of where the prosecution says it was. And that lead to much further investigation." The judge Then turns to the prosecution, "does the prosecutor have any character witnesses?" The prosecutor, who disguises himself as Sneik, answers, "No, Your Honor. I have no char-" "Actually, you do." The courtroom is shocked by a mysterious voice coming from the witness pedestal.
There a man with tiger striped hair and a tiger striped tank top stands before the court, "I, Tank Top Tiger, am today's character witness for the prosecution." Phoenix was shocked. He didn't see that one coming. "Wait a minute," Phoenix thought, "He prepared for this?! I have to make sure he and the prosecutor don't get away with making this difficult." The judge then spoke, "Tank Top Tiger, please begin your testimony." "Will do, Your Honor," Tank Top Tiger responded, "I will speak as it is!" He begins his testimony, "I was in City L for a robbery that had been taking place. I then saw Genos outside an apartment complex with a gun. As soon as the door opens, he goes in there." Phoenix was confused, as so was the judge.
The judge then responds, "Um, sir, there is a difference between a character witness and an eyewitness. You do know that right?" The prosecutor was nervous at this, Tank Top Tiger turned to him in anger, "What the hell, Man! You don't know the difference between two kinds of witnesses?! You are the dumbest prosecutor I've met since it happened!" Now was Phoenix's opportunity to strike, "Your Honor, weather or not the witness, I would like to cross examine Tank Top Tiger." The judge thinks for a moment, then looks to him, "Alright, the defense will begin the cross examination of the witness."
Once again, Tank Top Tiger starts his testimony, "I was in City L for a robbery that had taken place." As soon as he opens his mouth for the second sentence, Phoenix shouts "Hold It!" The attention was now on Phoenix, "Where was this robbery taken place?" "Down the store where the complex is," Tank Top Tiger replied, "and directly at the store, too." Phoenix stroke his chin, "If the robbery took place at the store where the complex is, then," he struck down and pointed at him "What time was it when you saw the robbery?" Tank Top Tiger answered nervously, "It… It was 9:30, I think…" "If it is possible," Phoenix questioned, "then what did the robber look like?" Tank Top Tiger responded, "A woman with long, black hair and a white dress."
That was Phoenix's 'check' moment, "That's it!" Phoenix then responded, "Tank Top Tiger, the robber that you mentioned in the testimony and the description…" Phoenix glares at the witness, "Was none other than the sister of the victim, known as Konama, the Witch Hunter!" Tank Top Tiger was utterly humiliated with that response, so much so that he shouted loud enough to where the building shook. Phoenix then took out the testimony of Class A, Rank 10: Konama, aka 'The Witch Hunter.' "In her testimony, she claims that she was shopping for groceries at the time before the murder, which meant she was inside the store when you went there." He then puts the testimony down, "This also means that…" He slams his hands down and points towards the witness, "What you saw was a clone of her!" Both Tank Top Tiger and the 'prosecutor' were shocked by what he found out, Tank Top Tiger especially. He turned to the prosecutor angrily, "HOW IN THE LIVING HELL ARE YOU NOT KNOWING THIS SH**?! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO POINT OUT WHAT HAPPENED! YOU KNOW WHAT?! SCREW YOU, JERK! I'M OUTTA HERE!"
And with that, Tank Top Tiger stormed out of the court, angry with the 'prosecutor.' That left the whole court stunned, even the judge, who eventually recovered from the stun, "Well... That was… Very unfortunate…" He then clears his throat, "Alright then, does the defense have any witnesses to call?" Phoenix responded with a nod, "Yes, Your Honor." As he said that, the lights start to flicker. "Good God," the judge shouted, "what was that?" "That, Your Honor," Phoenix responded, "is the witness." And out comes the Electreptile from the light bulb on top and onto the witness stand. Everyone on the court readied their guns when The judge shouted, "Order! Everyone please refrain using weapons in the court!" Then the judge turned to the defense, "Mr. Wright, would you care to explain why a monster is testifying to the court?" "Yes, Your Honor," he replied with a nod, "this monster of City L has seen the crime while doing what it was doing that night. Therefore, this monster is an eyewitness." The judge hesitates for a moment, then responds, "Very well then, Mr. Wright. But if this 'witness' tries to attack the people of the court, it will not only be removed, but it will also be eliminated." Phoenix nods again, "Yes, Your Honor."
The judge then turns his attention to the mons- … Witness, "Witness, you may now begin your testimony." The Electreptile crosses his arms looking down at his feet, "If you insist, I'll tell ya." The Electreptile begins its testimony, "I travel through electricity, which means I move through wires and telephone cables. That night I jumped out so I can feed off the electricity from the complex's fuse. While I was doing that, I saw a man in a black cloak. It looked as if he was having a seizure standing up, but he was changing his body. Then he took off his cloak, revealing a body built man, and going inside the complex. I was finished draining the fuse, causing the blackout, but I went into the wire inside the room where he was in, and I saw him painting his arms and putting on a wig, taking out a pistol. Then he walked out, not knowing I was watching the whole thing. I left when the murder happened because I needed to find another fuse to consume the electricity."
The prosecutor looked absolutely mortified, like he knew what was going on. The judge was surprised by the fact that it knew what was going on that night, "I don't believe it! The monster really did know what happened. Very well, we will keep it in court for cross examination. The cross examination began with the Electreptile's repeated testimony, "I travel through electricity, which means that I move through wires and telephone cables." "Hold it," the 'prosecutor' exclaimed, "How are you able to travel through electricity the way you do?" "It's very simple," the Electreptile replied, "my body is made of electric molecules that act as the currents that run like the everyday electricity. In other words, my body acts like currents." "Objection!" All eyes are on the prosecutor, "There is no way that anyone, or any monster, would deal with electricity."
"Objection!" All eyes go to Phoenix, "There are monsters who can adapt to different climates and elements." Phoenix picks up a document of monsters, "Take That!" The judge is handed the document to read aloud, "All monsters and heroes adapt to the different elements and climates to survive in places." The judge then nods his head, "The defense is quite correct. All monsters, including this one, can adapt to certain elements, especially electricity. Objection overruled." The prosecutor was nervous about this. He was obviously hiding something from the court that nobody knows. The judge then turns to the witness, "Witness, you may now continue your testimony." The Electreptile nods it's head, "Alrighty then."
The Electreptile continues its repeated testimony, " That night, I jumped out to feed off of the electricity from the complex's fuse, and I saw this man in a black cloak. It looked as if he had a seizure standing up, but he was changing his body." "Objection!" All eyes are on the prosecutor, "That was probably Genos malfunctioning in that cloak." "Objection!" All eyes are now on the defense, "That's not possible. If it were Genos, his body would have burned the cloak, revealing to be a body built man." The judge nods his head and replied, "The defence is right. Few heroes in the supercontinent can contort their bodies to shape. Objection overruled!" "Gah! Impossible," The 'prosecutor' thought, "I'll never weasel this case! If they find I did it, I'm done for." Phoenix looked at the prosecutor, "He's feeling it. I know he's the real culprit trying to fake being a prosecutor."
Phoenix then turns to the Electreptile, "Now, tell us about what you saw when the man went inside the complex room." The Electreptile crosses his arms, "I'm not a pet, ya know!" It then continued its testimony, "I was finished draining the fuse, causing a blackout, but I went into the wire inside the room where he was in, and I saw him painting his arms and putting on a wig." "Objection!" All eyes were on the prosecutor, "There was absolutely no signs of any paint lying around the room." "Objection!" All eyes were on Phoenix, "There defiantly was paint inside the room he described." Phoenix then took out the paint that he and Maya found in the restroom of the complex, "As you can see, these are all like Genos' metallic colors, black, dark grey, and silver. Which means…" Phoenix glares at the prosecutor, "That there was someone else that disguised as Genos!"
The prosecutor was mortified at the response. He was in real trouble for sure. The judge then spoke, "Witness, may you please continue the testimony?" The Electreptile shrugs his shoulders, "I don't see a reason ta finish, but alright." It then finished its testimony, "I left when the murder happened because I needed to find another fuse to consume the electricity from." After the testimony, the judge was left with his eyes open wide, "Well, this was a very interesting trial. But we still need more information on the murder. The court will resume tomorrow and I will hand over the verdict to the defendant. Until then, the court will now be adjourned." With that, Court was done for the day.

Phoenix was exhausted from today's court. Everyone was. Saitama came up to him, "Hey buddy, You alright?" Phoenix looked up to see Saitama standing in front of him, "Yeah, I'm just exhausted!" "That was really good what you did back there," Saitama said, "the prosecutor was nearly about to wet himself in court." "Yeah," Phoenix responded, "that would have been bad. And I already know he's the culprit." Saitama slightly smiled at him, "Say, thanks for agreeing to help Genos." Phoenix smiles back, "Not a problem, Saitama."
