They were surprised by my answer.
Normally, when there was an accusation, one would say that they were not guilty or that they killed the other in self-defence, but I said Hearsay.
This shouldn't be how they thought that it would go. So the surprise on their faces and the constant mutterings.
"Hearsay, boy what do you mean by that? We have the statement from the Death Seeker that you killed Dorian Halter", one of the old men spoke.
"Hmm, are you alright?" I asked in 'concern'.
"Why do you ask?" he asked me back
"Because what you said sounded like Hearsay. You believed someone's word that I killed a student, and accusing me of the crime but I see not a single shred of evidence", I said.
It made everyone in the room frown.
