[If it's true he used to be a law student, it's a natural thing to assume. People usually don't represent themselves in court, after all, and why else would he be involved in someone else's murder charge? It's somewhat ironic, then, that Stronghart has him training to be a prosecutor now.
He assumes he's right, so he doesn't wait for Ryunosuke to answer the question before asking another one:]
I take it I was successful, considering you're not in prison. Is that when we became friends?
[Ryunosuke opens his mouth to interject at first, but Kazuma's already steamrolling right past the point, which is... Well. IT'S TYPICAL? Some things even amnesia can't change... :/
He should probably double back and correct that. Perhaps in a minute... He's eager to answer this question too.]
No no, actually, we... We met in our first year at Yumei University. At a speech competition.
[How's he supposed to explain THAT story? Kazuma honestly told it much better. When he could still remember it, that is...]
[Kazuma may be wearing a mask, but the dubious look on his face is probably pretty obvious regardless.]
You won the speech competition but I'm the lawyer? That doesn't seem right.
[He's not exactly accusing Ryunosuke of lying, but, well... the doubt is there. Are you sure you actually beat him at a speech competition, because that sounds fake.]

I'm not. [He'll cop to that.] But that didn't stop the police from arresting me, or the courts from making a case against me.

You, uh... You kind of lost. To me.

...You accidentally worked a tongue twister into your closing line.
[Maybe that'll be enough to explain things on its own.]
