Tong! Tong! Tong!
Before the trio even reached Rima, three bells chis rumbled throughout the Inner Hall.
Swoosh!
Imdiately, the Disciplinary Hall's trio ca to halt in front of Rima, their expression contorted into angry scowls.
"You have gone mad. You'll lose all your rit Points now." One of the two won in the group glared at her, looking at Rima as if she had done sothing very foolish.
"So what?" Rima calmly asked,
"What about your man? How will you go look for him without rit Points?"
Rima's expression turned cold when she heard this and her throat moved, almost about to activate one of her spells and fry the trio's brain on the spot.
However, right then…
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two figures appeared in the restaurant, exuding very powerful and dignified presences. One was a man and the other was a woman.
The man was dressed in white robes and the woman was dressed in black.
Their gazes bore down on Rima, "You activated the Injustice Bell?" The woman asked.
"Yes, Elder." Rima took a breath, peeled her gaze away from the trio in front of her and nodded.
"What's wrong, child? What injustice did you suffer?" The white robed man asked while casting a glance at the Disciplinary Hall's trio, whose hearts shuddered feeling it.
"Elder…" Rima was about to speak when the black clad woman waved her hand.
Imdiately, Rima, the Three Disciplinary Hall disciples and a few nearby disciples began to float in the air.
"We'll have this discussion in the Disciplinary Hall." Saying this, the black clad woman disappeared from the place along with Rima and others. The white robed Elder also vanished a mont later.
"What did she do just then to summon the Disciplinary Hall Master and Head Elder? And what were those bells?"
Soone broke the silence after a while.
Just like the one who asked this, several others were clueless as to what had just transpired.
A mont later, soone answered, "Sacrificing her blood essence, she activated the Injustice Bells, demanding justice from the Beast Emperor Hall.
The Injustice Bells are rarely used because not many people know about them and even less are willing to sacrifice their blood essence to activate. Only when soone is about to die a wrongful death or receive so severe unjustifiable punishnt that they activate them.
Upon activation, the Disciplinary Hall Master and one authority figure from Elder's Hall must imdiately co over and resolve the injustice being done. In so cases, Inner Hall or even Core Hall Master would get involved."
Hearing this, soone asked, "She activated Injustice Bells, but she was in the wrong as she had attacked first. Wasn't it too foolish?"
"I won't comnt on whether it was foolish or not, but yes, she would get punished—all her rit Points would be confiscated and if she had less than 10,000, she would have to toil day and night to earn and pay the Hall." The person who explained earlier answered.
…
Shua!
When Rima finally could see again, she found herself standing in the middle of a large hall.
Beside her, the Disciplinary Hall's trio, Midas and his group and a few others who were nearby in the restaurant were looking around the hall.
As for the black-clad woman, The Disciplinary Hall Master, and white robed man, an Inner Hall Grand Elder, they were seated on the podium in front of them. Additionally, there were several other people present in the hall, sitting on either side in rows.
Rima recognised two of them—redith and the Elder who had conducted the recruitnt tests, but they were sitting at the end of the rows, indicating their status wasn't high among the people present.
redith didn't even glance at her, but the Elder lightly nodded.
Lightly inclining her head toward him in greeting, Rima shifted her gaze to the stern-looking Disciplinary Hall Master, who said a mont later, "Now, Silver Ranker Rima, tell us what injustice you suffered."
Rima nodded and began, "A week earlier, on the day I entered the Silver Rankings…"
Rima told them what happened on that day, between her and Isolde, without hiding anything.
"...Today, I ca to eat at the restaurant with my serving girl, but right as I entered, I was provoked. They wanted to force to use my magic spells so I could be punished, but when I did not…
The Disciplinary Hall disciples, who are rarely outside the Disciplinary Hall and even if they are outside, they usually ignore the small scuffles between the disciples, suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, I already knew I was being targeted, so I quickly activated the Injustice Bells, wanting to put this matter to rest once and for all because I have got no ti to waste, fighting a aningless battle with her."
Disciplinary Hall Master stared at her in silence before she coldly asked, "So, you are saying you activated the Injustice Bells to settle your personal matter?"
Rima t her gaze and shook her head, "No. It's not personal, Hall Master."
"Heh, how is it not?" Soone sneered from the side. Rima looked and saw it was a handso, green haired man who looked sowhat similar to Isolde, dressed in Disciplinary Hall's robes.
After a brief glance, Rima shifted her gaze back to the Disciplinary Hall Master and asked, "Forgive , Hall Master, I'm not aware of the rules. So, can you please let know if everyone in this hall is going to interrogate , or it is going to be just you and the Grand Elder?"
The green-haired man's face darkened.
The Disciplinary Hall Master glanced at him before looking at Rima and saying, "It'll be Grand Elder and I. They are here just to witness the proceedings."
Saying this, she added, her voice a level colder, "But I also want to know how is that not a personal matter, and you better not give a ridiculous reason or I will throw you in prison for wasting everyone's ti."
