Matthew froze when he saw the reaction of the guards around him. He looked at Vanessa asking her with his eyes if he screwed things up. Vanessa put her hand on his shoulder gently comforting him. Then she got up and said to Judge Johnson:
"We're sorry your honor. Mia's story made Matthew relive some trauma and it stirred the demonic mana inside of him. But as you can see, he can easily control himself. That light just now was the Purification skill. It heals him from the effects of the demonic mana. It's all right. It's just like taking medicine."
Judge Johnson thought for a few seconds and then said:
"Give us a warning next time, boy. Court is not the place to cast spells without notice."
"I'm sorry, your honor." Matthew said.
"You're excused." The judge replied and with a hand movement ordering the guards to be at ease. "Was that your last witness councilor?" He asked turning to Vanessa.
"Yes, your honor. The defense rests." Vanessa said.
