Lets get back to physical torment of teenagers shall we?


"Ok kids, one more minute and we are done for the day!" Shouted Monokuma with megaphone. Minoru glared at the bear, dressed in a singlet and a sweat band. Minoru silently plotted to have the bear taken apart at the first opportunity. It has been three days since the motive began, and Minoru wasn't feeling too hot.

"Three...two...one... Ok, we are done for the day, get your last drink of water, I'll see you tomorrow!" Monokuma shouted, dumping a full water bottle over his head, then disappearing behind a corner. Minoru dropped to his knees, laying down on the floor, him sticking to the floor almost instantly. He looked over at Hikaza, who was dry heaving in the corner. Minoru hated what was going on, but he still refused to kill anyone. He knew he could get through this motive without having to kill someone. Everyone else... not so much. As everyone scrambled for the cafeteria in order to get their water, Minoru had a thought, he didn't think it would work, but he needed to try.

Looking on the second floor, Minoru looked down in frustration at the lock on the door to both the men's and women's locker rooms, and their access to the pool. Another thought crossed his mind, leading him out of the room and to the nearest classroom. Bringing back a desk, he proceeded to use some of his remaining strength in order to use the desk to break the lock. After three tries, he was successful, breaking the lock and gaining entry to the pool. Monokuma jumped from the shadows, looking pretty pissed.

"What the hell was that? Did you not read the rules?" Monokuma's expression changed to his classic grin.

"Since you broke the rules, that means its punishment ti-" Minoru stopped him by putting up his hand.

"Actually, in our E-handbooks, you never put that rule in. You ARE referring to the rule about breaking into locked rooms that you gave the first group, aren't you?" Monokuma's smile faded as he looked down at the ground.

"Here I thought I'd be able to execute you little bastard..." He looked up, rather pissed.

"Fine, but this is the only time you get to do this, I'm making sure to add it to the E-handbook this time!" He then left, a soft chime let Minoru know that the rule had been added. He entered the pool area, smiling that the mastermind had overlooked such a rule, especially due to the motive at hand. He instantly noticed that the temperature in the room was drastically lower than every other room in the school.

"Back to room temperature at last!" Minoru proceeded to try and find the pumps in order to get some clean, non chlorinated water. After managing to do it, he thought maybe he could share it with the others. Minoru's heart dropped as he got back to the door, finding the door to be locked. Monokuma's face appeared on the screen above the door.

"Oh, did I lock the door out of the pool? Oh well, I guess all your stuff is still out there isn't it, along with everyone else and food to go with that water." Monokuma cackled and faded from the screen. Minoru sat down against the wall, shaking his head. Minoru looked up at the camera.

"Fell right for that trap, didn't I?" His thought process went straight to another point. He looked up at the camera. "Will I get in trouble for sleeping here tonight?" Minoru got a quick answer as the word 'no' flashed on the screen. Time passed slowly for the Lie Detector. Eventually he heard the nighttime announcement, laying down on the cold floor, shivering due to his lack of any real clothing. He felt himself drift off to sleep, finding the cold floor to be a better alternative to the blistering hot temps outside of the room.


Minoru looked around the dream-scape, becoming confused as he looked into the darkness, finding no one waiting for him. He began to wander around, eventually finding his father, sitting down at a desk and looking at some paperwork.

"What are you doing?" Minoru's voice lacked the usual venom that it held for his father. His father took off his bifocals and looked at his son.

"I have to fulfill two requirements before my soul is allowed to be put to rest. One of those is to right a previous wrong."

"Hoshi waking up from her coma." Minoru already knew that, so what was the other one.

"I'm also not allowed to pass on until you are out of the Mutual Killing Game." Minoru furrowed his brow.

"I assume telling you to piss off isn't going to help speed this along is it?" His father shook his head.

"I have to go by both power's rules in order to help you out of this, Minoru. Let me help." Minoru shook his head.

"It's clear that you're not able to do much from here, unless you have any info, I should be going."

"Yes, you should." His father's voice sounded a bit rushed, which caused Minoru a bit of stress.


"A body has been found! After a brief period of investigation, the class trial will begin. Before that, there will be an optional two hour recovery period in order to get your water and salt intakes back up. Use it wisely to do more investigating or to heal up."

Minoru was confused and scared. Why would Monokuma want to help them is beyond him. Noticing the pool door was unlocked, he got down to the first floor, where he found just about everyone in the cafeteria.

"Where's the body?" Minoru counted in his head, they were missing three people, Etsuko, Matsuzuka and Kinnosuke. All he received was stare. "What?" Daisuke grabbed him, his hands shaking as he took him to Minoru's room, where the door was propped open. Inside the door was Etsuko, impaled on Bloodic's sword.


There goes another student, hopefully next time we can get some evidence and play Clue once more with the information at hand.
