Court of the city, civil division.
"All rise, please welcome the honorable judge!"
As the court guard announced, the judge, clad in a black robe, entered the courtroom and made his way directly to the bench.
After taking his seat, he scanned the whole room.
On the jury bench, six jurors had already taken their places.
The plaintiff and defendant were also seated.
As for the public gallery, since it was a minor case, there weren't many people present.
"Hmm, that person in the first row of the public gallery, why does he look somewhat familiar? It seems like I have seen him somewhere before. Is he sizing me up?"
The judge squinted his eyes and looked at a young man in the first row of the public gallery with a strange expression on his face.
This man's aura seemed somewhat different from the few spectators there.
But the judge couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was different.
