Note by the Author: For a large part of the Class Trial, the chapter will also be written in something similar to a script form. This will be the case for all the other class trials. That said, enjoy the show. I promise that the Chapter 2 trial will be better, since this trial has a few "pull out of ass" tricks, with the addition of this trial being rather short... Hope you guys like it anyways
Monokuma: Yo, yo, yo! This is the Monokuma recap board!
Monokuma: Who let the dogs out? Only Ayako and Hideaki were able to find any REAL clues.
Monokuma: That's because in a good story, all the supporting characters are basically useless.
Monokuma: Let's start: THE CLASS TRIAL!
==The death of Akira Yamazaki!==Are the six suspects really the killers?==Who could the killer have been?
Monokuma: Anyways, you guys, welcome to your first class trial! Here's how this works!
Monokuma: Finger the TRUE villain, and the villain will be PUNISHED, leaving the rest of you to enjoy the rest of your lives in the academy!
Monokuma: However, finger the WRONG villain, and instead, YOU GUYS will be PUNISHED¸ leaving your deceiver to leave, FREE & CLEAR!
Monokuma: Now, since this is your first class trial, I will be here to provide a small amount of guidance!
Monokuma: Don't think I'll be some sort of tutorial for you guys though!
Monokuma: Now, do you all know what you are going to talk about first?
Rikiya: First, let's talk about the subject of how the victim was killed.
Monokuma: Oh! Good choice! As if that wasn't completely obvious!
Rikiya: Well, it doesn't hurt to clear things up.
Monokuma: Hmph. Whatever. I just don't like being bored.
Monokuma: Then let's start the debate!
/=/=/phase one\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Author's Note: During a nonstop debate, there will be terms that can be contradicted. These are marked in bold text. For terms that are the actually contradiction, these terms will be bolded and underlined. Now, let's hope you can figure out how Akira Yamazaki was murdered…
Rikiya: On the subject of how Akira Yamazaki was murdered…
Rikiya: Who has any idea of how he was killed?
Hideaki: Only an idiot wouldn't know that, you should've read the Monokuma File.
Megumi: Hmm, honey, even I knew that, and that's sorta sad…
Kyouko: You're acknowledging your own stupidity?
Megumi: You got it honey!
Senji: It's best if we do not stray off-topic…
Senji: Anyways, if someone would be so kind…
Senji: As to explain to Rikiya how Akira was killed?
BREAK!
(piece of ammo used: Monokuma File #1)
Ayako: Rikiya, if you would please take a look at the Monokuma File #1…
Ayako: It clearly states that Akira was murdered by blood loss, as a result of having his neck slashed.
Rikiya: That's right… I couldn't bear look at that filth however.
Senji: So now, let's get into the facts.
Senji: In the case of: "who murdered Akira Yamazaki…"
Senji: As far as I know, we do not have any leads.
Rin: Well, actually, Megumi and I were talking in the hallway…
Rin: And she showed me some of the evidence she collected.
Setsuna: Ho? Is it possible that our country racecar driving ditz was able to gather up some evidence?
Megumi: You know it! See, I was able to remember who went up and left during the movie!
Miyu: A-and who did?...
Megumi: Let's see… it was Saya, Aaron, Rikiya, Noburu, Senji, and then Megumi…
Setsuna: That means you are a suspect too?
Megumi: Oh right!
Saya: Do not forget about Hideaki as being a suspect, as he did not have any alibis during the time of the murder.
Saya: Not only that, but he was the first to find the body.
Megumi: Y-yeah! Right!
Rikiya: Very well, so it's time to discuss who among us are the real culprits.
Ayako: I know that Hideaki didn't do it… But then again, deep down, I don't think anyone did.
Ayako: So… what can I expect?
/=/=/phase two\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Rikiya: Who is the real murderer in this case? That's the big question.
Tomakazu: The suspect list was already narrowed down to seven…
Tomakazu: …but does that really mean that those seven did it?
Hideaki: Indefinitely. There was a large amount of work put to this case. Not something one could do while sneaking out.
Tomakazu: L-like?
Hideaki: First off, one of the bathroom stalls in the female bathrooms was covered in blood.
Hideaki: Second, traces of chloroform was used, found behind the movie theater.
Hideaki: Third, there were numerous pieces of red herrings used to throw off our investigation.
Hideaki: And lastly, the situation about the cracked mirror.
Tomakazu: So… what does that tells us?
Hideaki: That the murderer must have had lots of time to prepare.
Setsuna: Prepare? For what?
Hideaki: The murder, obviously.
Setsuna: No, no, the murder was obviously impulsibe!
Hideaki: And why is that?
Setsuna: The blood obviously came from the victim, did it not?
BREAK!
(piece of ammo used: Packets of Blood)
Ayako: No, hold on Setsuna.
Ayako: There were bags found in the woman's bathroom. They were containers for blood found at the infirmary.
Setsuna: So?
Ayako: So, the killer must have needed to go back to the infirmary and collect the packets of blood.
Setsuna: No Ayako, that would not be the case.
Ayako: Huh?
Ayako: W-why not?
Setsuna: He could have easily prepared the bags of blood beforehand.
Setsuna: It's not impossible
Ayako: So…
Rikiya: It appears we're at a stalemate.
Noburu: Ahh! What are we going to do?!
Aaron: Sh-should we take a blind jump and guess?
Hideaki: No, hold on, we can still find out who the murderer is.
Aaron: Really? How?
Hideaki: First, let's try talking about something that is connected to the case…
Hideaki: If we're lucky, it should lead us to the killer.
Ayako: But… what can we talk about?
Ayako: Aren't we all out of ideas?
/=/=/phase three\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Rin: B-but what could we talk about that would be related to this case?
Miyu: Sh-should we talk about the scene of the crime?
Hideaki: No, that was definitely in the men's room.
Rikiya: The men's room? Isn't in the woman's?
BREAK!
(piece of ammo used: Packets of Blood)
Ayako: I'm guessing you are referring to the blood in the stall, correct, Rikiya?
Rikiya: Yes.
Ayako: Well, did you forget about the packets of blood found in the trash can?
Rikiya: Oh! Right…
Miyu: But, but then, we really, are all out of ideas!
Aaron: This can't be the end for us!
Hideaki: No, we strayed off-topic in our last debate.
Aaron: What?! What else could we possibly discuss?!
Hideaki: Please, pay attention this time then…
/=/=/phase four\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Hideaki: Continuing from where I left off last time…
Hideaki: We can definitely trace the murderer.
Miyu: H-how? We're all out of ideas!
Hideaki: This towel, has traces of chloroform on it.
Aaron: So? What of it?
Hideaki: However, this chloroform was NOT the chloroform I found at the scene of the crime.
Aaron: Heh?! How could you tell?!
Aaron: It, it most definitely is the same chloroform!
BREAK!
(pieces of ammo used: Towel)
Ayako: No, you're wrong Aaron.
Ayako: Hideaki's right, these contents of chloroform are different.
Aaron: Heh?!
Ayako: If you take a close look at the color of the towel, you can tell that the chloroform used on the towel has a different shade.
Ayako: It's blue.
Senji: But then, how would you explain the differences between the chloroform?
Hideaki: It's simple. It's not impossible to do the following.
Aaron: T-the following?
Hideaki: It fact, it's completely possible… to make your own chloroform.
Aaron: Eh?
Saya: Tch, I wouldn't think anyone here would be smart enough to do it.
Hideaki: I know I couldn't… but for the Super High School Level Scientist…
Aaron: Eh? Eh?
Hideaki: It's not impossible.
Aaron: Eh? Eh? Eh?
Saya: Oh yes, I forgot about that wimpy scientist over there.
Aaron: W-wimpy?
Aaron: Uh… huh… HUH?!
Miyu: S-so… you think Aaron made the chloroform on his own?
Aaron: W-wait! I wouldn't even have the things to make chloroform with!
Noburu: But when I looked in the science lab, there were signs of activity inside.
Hideaki: In short, it's possible he made his chloroform there?
Tomakazu: Aaron! What do you have to say about all of this?!
Aaron: W-what?
Saya: Does it look like Aaron is our killer?
Aaron: I… I…
Hideaki: Such a simple difference can mean a complete difference.
Aaron: H-hmm… Hmmm…
Aaron: HA!
Aaron: HA! HA! HA, HA, HA!
Aaron: YOU SONS OF BITCHES! YOU THINK YOU'RE SO FUCKING TOUGH BECAUSE YOU CAN FINGER MEEEE AS THE VILLAIN?!
Saya: Overreacting is not helping you. A reaction like this only proves that you're the killer more.
Aaron: TO HELL IT DOES! FUCK THAT! I'M NOT THE KILLER!
Ayako: Aaron… you have to admit it.
Aaron: ADMIT WHAT DUMBASS? I-A-M-N-O-T-T-H-E-K-I-L-L-E-R! I FUCKING SPELLED IT OUT FOR YOU! HOW'S THAT?!
Ayako: He's resisting so much…
Ayako: But we have him right where we want him!
/=/=/phase five\=\=\
Aaron: BULLSHIT! I'M NOT THE KILLER!
Saya: I believe the chloroform was evidence enough…
Saya: …to say you in fact, ARE the killer.
Aaron: HA! AS IF!
Aaron: OKAY YOU IDIOTS!
Aaron: FINE! YOU WANT TO CONVICT ME? THEN SHOW ME PROOF! FUCKING SHOW IT TO ME!
BREAK!
(piece of ammo used: Bloody Glass Fragment)
Ayako: Aaron, you used these fragments of glass, didn't you?
Aaron: HELL TO THE NO!
Ayako: Then show us your hands.
Aaron: H-HUH?
Ayako: While the Monokuma File says there was only one slash…
Ayako: There were two pieces of glass we found at the scene.
Ayako: Both were considerably bloody, but I can't imagine why the killer would slash someone once with two pieces of glass.
Rikiya: So you are saying Aaron got cut, which is why he used a different piece of glass?
Aaron: H-huh?
Rikiya: Ridiculous.
Ayako: Why is that?
Rikiya: No one in the right mind would possibly even use two pieces of glass, just cause they were cut.
Aaron: Y-yeah! N-no one would!
Saya: What happened to your worrisome attitude moments before?
Aaron: N-no! I don't believe it! You guys are just… fingering the wrong person!
Hideaki: It's completely possible that you dropped the piece of glass, and then picked up the next one closest to you.
Aaron: No! No, I didn't!
Ayako: In that case…
Ayako: I'm going to spell out your crime for you.
Ayako: What you did, every step, right here, right now.
Climax Logic – Everything is Falling Into Place
Ayako: First, we know that Akira walked into the men's bathroom… Needing to use the bathroom himself, Aaron walked into the men's bathroom after him. He knocked Akira into the bathroom mirror, causing shards to fall onto the floor. Then, Aaron thought to himself, "I could kill him right now, and leave this place!" Of course, he was already planning to kill him today. Attempting to use one shard of glass, he accidentally cut himself, and we can assume he dropped it, since no one would use two pieces of glass for no reason. After killing Akira, he cleaned up the bathroom, and placed red herrings he brought with him in the woman's bathroom to change the scene of the crime. But he made a mistake when making his own chloroform. The chloroform in the shed that he spilled on purpose was a different shade than the one he used against Akira, but the only way he could have gotten more, was by making his own!
Ayako: The murderer is you, isn't it Aaron?!
With that, the first class trial was over. It was easier than I thought to point out the villain, but for the villain to be Aaron… it was hard to believe.
"You dumbass," said Rikiya tauntingly. "Why'd you even use two pieces of glass?"
"Ayako, was right," Aaron moaned. "I, didn't have time. I just used the closest glass near me."
I looked at Aaron, and his face was swollen with despair. The weird thing was, I felt no sympathy. I mean, he killed one of our friends. How could he do that? He killed Akira, and I can't forgive him for that.
"Well! Looks like you guys have come to the end of your discussion!" Monokuma exclaimed. "Will you guys be right, or will you guys be so, so wrong! Let's find out!"
Monokuma took out a portable slot machine, and placed it on a table in front of him. He pulled the lever, and in three rows were the faces of all of us. As the slot machine began to halt, three faces were matched: Aaron's.
"Well! Looks like you were right, you guys!" Monokuma said. "Good job!"
Aaron growled, and sank his face into his palms.
"Why?" I asked to him. "Why did you kill Akira?"
Aaron looked at me, with glaring eyes. They were tearing up, yet I still couldn't feel an ounce of sympathy.
"My… My family," he said. "It's a cliché reason. But… I can't leave them alone! I have to get back to them! I have to see them! If what Monokuma showed us was true… I have to see my family!" Aaron began to cry, and he lowered himself to the floor, and balled up.
"Now, now, don't cry Aaron!" Monokuma said. "Let's just get your punishment started! You're excited for it, aren't you?"
"Wh-what? My punishment?!"
"You mean, you intend to execute him?" Hideaki asked. Monokuma nodded, and gave Hideaki a thumbs up.
"Thanks for the tip, Captain Obvious!" Monokuma said. "Now, let's get started, shall we?"
Aaron was screaming now, pleading Monokuma to spare his life, but to no avail.
"It's time!"
"No!"
"For –"
"No, no, no!"
"Your super-duper PUNISHMENT!"
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!"
Monokuma pulled out his gavel, and brought out a red switch. As he slammed the gavel onto the switch, we saw an 8-bit Monokuma pronounce Aaron guilty, and drag him away for his impending doom.
Aaron was tied up on a chair with rope. Monokuma arrived with a crane, bringing a large beaker with him. Monokuma picked Aaron up with the crane, and carried him over to the beaker, very carefully, and then dropped him inside. While the chair broke, and Aaron was free from those restraints, he was still trapped in the beaker. The name of this execution…
LAB RAT!
Monokuma loaded a strange chemical bottle into the crane. It dropped on Aaron's head, causing his head to bleed. The chemicals spilled out into the beaker, forming a solution. Monokuma dropped another chemical in. Aaron missed the bottle, but more liquids began to spill out, until during the final chemical, Monokuma dropped the chemical. A chain reaction was set up, and the beaker exploded. When the smoke cleared, Aaron's body was nowhere in sight.
As his blood was splattered against the sides of the beaker, I could hear the screams of my friends ring through the beaker. We were all frightened by Monokuma. We knew he wasn't joking anymore. He was the real deal. But, it was weird. Even though I thought I hated Aaron, for killing our friend that was before… That was before I saw the death of him. He was still a friend, even before the death of Akira. It was strange to see this. Was this sympathy I was feeling? Or was it fear? I couldn't tell, because I was screaming with everyone else. I don't know whether it was the death of Aaron itself, or having someone die in front of me.
Yet, even through all this, Hideaki kept his cool. I saw the color flush from his face, but he was able to keep his composure.
"I… I can't do this!" Miyu screamed.
"What the hell just happened?!" said Kichiro.
"Monokuma," he said, "this isn't normal."
"Executions aren't exactly normal!" I screamed at him. "How can you be so calm?"
"No," he said, through clenched teeth. "That's not what I mean –"
"You're so weird!" Tomakazu screamed. "Can't you feel anything?!"
Ignoring our remarks towards him, he seemed to throw away all his sensitivity out the window. Instead, he spoke to Monokuma again.
"That beaker, those chemicals," Hideaki started, "how do you have that much time and money to make all of it?"
"Huh?" Monokuma asked. "Well, let me say one thing! We have external sources where we get our fundings! But, you'll figure out everything sooner or later! When despair comes up right behind you!"
"This courtroom as well," said Hideaki, calmly as before. "It's underground, it's built to perfection, yet I can't believe that you single handedly built the whole thing."
"Like I said, you impatient Nancy, you'll find out eventually!" Monokuma snapped. "But I hope you don't get too caught up in the suspense! Monokuma laughed his insane laugh after that, and soon after, Monokuma disappeared, leaving all of us in his dust.

===MONOKUMA THEATRE===
#5
Monokuma: So, I was walking home from school one day.
Monokuma: And then this big bully began to pick on me!
Monokuma: So I cried to my mommy to save me, but instead, she told me to defend myself!
Monokuma: So I killed the bully!
Monokuma: I know, I know, it's sort of cruel what I did. But he totally deserved it!
