The entirety of Japan was shocked the moment it was announced that Kurosaki Yurie had been kidnapped by the Demon Cult, but the people's shock only lasted for a little while.

When the news spread that Fujimoto Ryoma had rescued her, the mood took a drastic turn for the better.

The Player that could be said to represent all Japanese Players had saved the Miko of the Heavens!

All news was full of praise for Ryoma, and Yurie's rescue was even covered in foreign countries.

Comparatively, there was almost no news that talked about Kang-Woo. No, he had barely been mentioned.

Ryoma had warned the news outlets ahead of time to stop the incident from getting bigger until the trial had come to a ruling.

Three days passed.

Ryoma, who had become a national hero, was walking to court.

It was the day when the trial of Korean Player Oh Kang-Woo would take place.

"You made sure that the judge in charge of this trial is Judge Wakabe, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good."

Ryoma smiled.

Wakabe Nobuhito was a judge who had helped Ryoma get out of legal trouble a couple of times before....
