“Crime and punishment”

“Miss Delight, do you know why we are here?”

My companions were displeased with me firing one of the main guns inside a building. While normally I would be feeling some remorse for damaging the private property, when I remember the very rude person, all my conscience pretends to forget what I did.

“Why can’t you stop destroying everything within your sight?” The knight should be lamenting letting me stay alone.

They were expecting me to at least feel sorry but I was not going to apologize.

“Are there any results?” An officer of the local law enforcement entered the room.

We were taken here after I blew away half of the guild’s second floor.

“She still doesn’t feel sorry for her deed…” The female warrior put a palm on her face and sighed a couple of times.

“Miss, can’t you just at least say ‘I am sorry, I will not be using destruction magic inside buildings anymore’?” The officer already asked all of the questions she could and understood that I was just a victim, yet she keeps asking me to acknowledge my guilt.

“I shall not say that, you can’t be guilty without any guilt!” I was just being stubborn.

“Okay, if you are not going to repent, than I have another option.” The officer faced my companions.

“What can she do to avoid the fines?”

“There will be a martial tournament and if she participates and passes the primary fights she will not be fined.”

“Miss Delight?” Four people said that in unison and waited for my response.

“Can I use my g…”

“NO.”

“Very well, I shall participate but only together with the others.”

Like that, I was enlisted for a tournament.
