The judge cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping the room to ensure he had everyone's attention.
His voice was solemn, heavy with the weight of the decision about to be made.
"Noah Ashbourne," he began, "you stand accused of multiple, severe breaches of Ravenwood Academy's laws.
These offenses are not only grave but also directly undermine the trust and security of this institution.
I will list each law you have broken, and the prescribed punishment according to the Academy's regulations."
Noah's eyes were locked on the judge, his breathing shallow.
He felt as if the room itself were pressing in on him, each breath harder to draw than the last.
"Offense One," the judge announced, "[Possession of Forbidden Artifacts].
You were found in possession of illegal and dangerous items within the Academy grounds, artifacts linked to dark and demonic magic.
