"Now tell me what is your name?" Johanna asks once more.
"It's Owen. Owen, I can b-barley remember how I came to be here"
"Good now I can get something going," Truth Johanna says as she begins to glow an orange hue. "Speak" her voice commands.
"I remember it being a rainy night I was just about to return home after scourging and finding ways to make money for my family. On the road back I remember a girl walking towards me with Long Brown Hair, Brown Eyes, a Pretty Face, and a nice dress. As the gentleman I am, I asked her if she was alright. She smiled at me and then.. everything was a blur."
"If the answer for what you're looking for is that I was working for them yes I did but it was not under my free will. It's up to you to decide my fate"
The courtroom goes silent.
"He tells the truth," The Truth Johanna says.
"It's now your choice of what you want to do Mr.Owen."
"T-thank you. With that being said I wish to kill the one who tormented me for so long"
Edward and Valerus have eyes widened as Owen says those words.
"This kid," Percival says to himself.
"If that were me I would do that too. Oh, am I too loud" Kaneda remarks.
"Mr.Owen-"
"I have great tracking skills with my transformation magic I can transform into anything I want. I can track her down because it'll lead me to their allies" Owen says as he looks back towards the courtroom.
"I find his plan perfect" Faith Johanna adds.
"I second that although we must continue with this trial first." Truth Johanna insists.
A giant golden Apothecary scale manifests and tilts to its right side while Owens restraints are no more.
"You are not guilty we will devise a plan once all three of you have been put on trial. Please take a seat" Johanna speaks. "Thank you I also wished to say more but my memory is still foggy," Owen says as he clinches his head and sits at his seat. "What was it" he mutters to himself quietly.
"Now may I have Edward Ridgeway please step forward"
Edward stands up and faces the three Johannas like Owen before him.
"You are Manaless correct?"
"Yes I am"
"How do you fight with a sword"
Truth Johanna activates her magic again "Tell me what kind of power does your sword possess?"
"It is a negating magic sword that can negate all magic that it comes in contact with. Wow, that is some power. I am scared right now" Edward says proudly.
"Her power is that strong amazing" Luna says.
"My sister's power is very powerful she won't stop until all the Truths can be revealed" Issac adds.
"A little too much" Faith Johanna says softly.
"Am seeping into the truth into his emotions. Onward how did you obtain that sword?"
"When I was a young child me and my father got lost in the lands of Falos where a snowstorm came out of nowhere. A creature attacked my father making me defenseless. The creature was about to charge at me a stranger saved me afterward he gave me that sword returning me and my father to the village"
"Stranger? Oh, I see" Truth Johanna says to herself.
"Is something wrong? Was a lie told" Faith Johanna asks.
"No just taken aback by his story. "Now Mr.Ridgeway, what was your involvement at the Magus Exam?" Truth Johanna asks.
"My friend Samus or Sagittarius entrusted to me a special arrow that he crafted that teleported me to them. I was told that should that arrow start glowing I must embed my mana into it and I will be right there. When I arrived I already knew something was off destruction and a magic barrier was activated"
"Continue"
"I tried to free my friends but to no luck then I got defeated and dragged here "
"I feel no lies and there isn't any information regarding the Phantom Order just the fact that like Mr.Owen wants to make them pay for what they have done so far." Truth Johanna speaks.
"You may have a seat" Johanna speaks.
Once again the giant golden Apothecary scale manifests and tilts to its right as Edward is freed from his restraints.
"May I also have my sword back"
"Not yet Mr.Ridgeway we still have one more"
Both Owen and Edward look at Valerus.
"Its going to be easy man. Just tell them what you told me in the cell" Edward encourages Valerus. On the other hand Owen seems to have a puzzled look.
"Somethings wrong what is it? He is definitely doesn't work for them just based on the way he fought in the 2nd stage and Collsieum but-" Owen thinks to himself.
"How come there's was so fast? It was barely 5 minutes" Rose says.
"It's most likely to them telling the truth regardless of the spell being used on them," Albeck responds.
"So Valerus should be fine if he just comes clean?" Bianca asks.
"Yes, he should be. I think" Issac says.
"Wait did you say you think?" Bianca questions.
"I overheard. Ah, never mind." Issac gives a hesitant response wearing an uneasy look awaiting Valerus's turn.
"Now Mr.Marina will come to the center here"
"Issac, what do you know?" Faith asks him.
Issac with his lips tightened as if he's being forced not to speak. "I"
"Quiet in the courtroom" Johanna demands.
Valerus steps forward.
As golden Apothecary scale remains from the last trial.
Valerus fixated his eyes on the scale. He reverts them to the three Johannas that stand in front of him.
"Valerus Marina, where are you from?"
"Am from the City of Kubridge-"
The scale begins to glow orange as it tilts to the left.
"What was that"
"You lied" Truth Johanna speaks.
"Two more lies and you're guilty. Please don't hide anything from us" Faith Johanna warns him.
"But am-"
"Valerus tell us where you really from"
"Am.... am not from this world" Valerus says as his voice soffens.
