SWNOVELXO Chapter 92: Chapter 92
When Furina heard that the 'Night Raid' team wanted to join the 'Law Enforcement Court', she immediately jumped from her chair to the ground, her eyes of different colors glowing with excitement.
Finally, something interesting besides judging sinners.
Watching so many animal-like sinners in the past ten days had long since made her lose her appetite.
According to the information given by Lord Tenri, the 'Night Raid' team was instrumental in overthrowing the rule of this decadent empire in the original future. Almost everyone in the team could be regarded as a heroic figure, although slightly inferior to a true hero.
In the five hundred years of Fontaine, she had seen only a handful of humans better than the 'Night Raid' team.
With a slight wave of her hand, she commanded, "Stop, I'm going to personally meet the world-famous killer organization 'Night Raid' and test the 'justice' in their hearts."
The staff of the Law Enforcement Court responded respectfully, "Yes, Ningna Tianping."

In the square outside the palace, the members of 'Night Raid' waited patiently. After seeing the expanded members of Zhi Lu Ting, they decided to try to join today. However, Zhi Lu Ting did not assess their "justice" like they did with ordinary members and then recruit them directly.
Instead, they were made to wait, being told that they had special status and needed approval from higher-ups.
"What kind of big shot? Could it be Lady Furina, the incarnation of the God of Justice? Or Lady Navilette, the Supreme Judge?" Brand, who stood at the front, whispered to Najenda.
Najenda responded calmly, "Sister, do you know what's going on? Is it because we're killers and they think we're guilty?"
Mine snorted coldly, "Humph! What nonsense are you talking about? Although we're killers, the people we assassinate are heinous criminals. The God of Justice will not condemn us."
Though she was a killer, she never targeted an innocent person.
Lubbock, with his green hair, scratched his head. "Maybe it's because we're Teigu users and need more senior officials to evaluate our 'justice.'"
Leone crossed her arms and patted her chest boldly. "What's the big deal? They've just asked us to wait a while. If we were guilty, the Law Enforcement Court would have already arrested us."
Akame remained expressionless and nodded in agreement with Leone's words, feeling no malice. The atmosphere was still reassuring as ever.
Najenda looked around at her teammates, who were chatting and laughing, not appearing to care about their identities at all. This was completely different from before. The sinners in the city had disappeared, and the people had dropped their guard around strangers.
The entire city was filled with innocent people, and in just ten days, it had even reached the point where people didn't pick up lost items on the road. This was a sight that seemed like something from a dream.
Yesterday, Najenda called the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army to resign from her position as captain of 'Night Raid' and join the Law Enforcement Court. The commander of the Revolutionary Army yelled at her, but she didn't care.
The Revolutionary Army was no match for the Imperial Army, let alone the gods.
She was amazed at what the gods had done in the past few days. Everywhere the followers of the God of Justice went, all sins were judged, and corruption, injustice, and darkness were eradicated. But what about the Revolutionary Army? They cooperated with the evil executioners of the empire for tax revenue, turning a blind eye to the people being exploited and tortured.
The upper echelons of the Revolutionary Army just wanted to replace the empire and become the new ruling power.
After hanging up the call, she didn't even bother returning her Teigu and brought everyone from 'Night Raid' with her.

The sound of footsteps brought everyone back to their senses. Members of 'Night Raid' quickly looked toward the palace gate.
Law enforcement officers walked out in two neat rows, lining both sides of the gate.
In front of them, a young girl dressed with natural nobility and a divine aura emerged, causing their hearts to race.
Furina walked out of the palace gracefully and looked at the stunned members of 'Night Raid'.
"Hee hee, stunned, aren't you? You didn't expect the God of Justice herself to come and examine your 'justice', did you?" Furina laughed as she looked at their expressions.
People outside the palace, who had come to worship and pray, quickly knelt to the ground in excitement, clasping their hands in prayer.
No matter what Furina thought of herself, the people she had saved as the "God of Justice" were devout. They wouldn't allow anyone to say a bad word about her. Even indifference would draw criticism from fanatical believers.
"Wow! Lord God! I see Lord God again."
"Lord God, please bless my child to grow up healthy."
"Thank you, God, for bringing justice to the world."
"Thank you, Lord God, for giving me fairness."
Furina had become accustomed to this. No matter what she said, the people only worshipped her devoutly, and they would be frightened if she came any closer.
Everyone in the 'Night Raid' team came to their senses and quickly knelt down, like the people.
It wasn't because Furina was a god, but because of what they had seen and heard in this city and the surrounding towns in recent days.
She was, as she claimed, the queen of all people and laws, and everything she did was for the happiness of the people.
Brand swallowed nervously. "It's really the gods who have come to test our 'justice.'"
Mine whispered through gritted teeth, "Don't talk, you idiot."
Najenda also whispered, "Don't offend the gods."
Lubbock added, "That's right. Even if the gods don't care, I don't want to drown in people's spit."
Furina stepped forward gracefully, opening her hands like a saint.
"Hahaha, you didn't expect the 'Night Raid' team, an organization that ends the lives of sinners in the darkness of this world, to be tested by a god personally, did you?"
The so-called test of 'inner justice' was just a misunderstanding among the people. The Law Enforcement Court and the Special Patrol Team only investigated the past actions of recruits. Anyone with a dark past could not join either institution.
"The fact that you came to worship 'Justice' proves that you have justice in your heart and are truly righteous people. I can clearly see your piety and justice."
"Of course, you may be surprised now, wondering whether you are qualified to be interviewed and tested by a god. It's normal to have such doubts.
"How could a mortal understand the perspective of a god?
"Be honored and rejoice. The test of justice I, the incarnation of the God of Justice, am about to give you will be something you will remember for a lifetime."
