Sup everyone back again, just a couple quick notes before we get into it. Don't for get to vote on the poll because someone will be killed this chapter and that means someone will be taken off the poll and let's just say they are tied for the lead right now in voting. Also this will be like a script as to make it easier for me to write and keep organized and honestly to make it easy for you guys to read, so that's all I have to say so let's get into it.

Trial Room Mastermind POV 9:30 AM
The group walked into the trial room each taking their spots at a different podium. Only one remained empty with a portrait of Teruteru with a fork and a spoon forming an X through his face. After they all took their positions Monokuma began to explain what the rules were.
"This is the trial room, you have five hours to figure out who the blackened is. After your time is up or you have figured out who the blackened is you will vote for who to be punished. But if you get it wrong the blackened walks away free with one other person of their choice, meanwhile, the rest of you get punished. But if you can't figure out who the blackened is or you can't decide who to vote for, you can sacrifice someone instead of risking everyone dying but the blackened doesn't walk free but they do get some perks, Any questions?
"Yah, what do you mean by punished" Hiro asked
"I mean execution, my dear boy"
"Wait so you are going to kill us even if we get it wrong," Aoi asked worriedly
"Only if you don't sacrifice anyone"
"Hey we are just wasting time obviously someone is dying at the end of this so let's get this trial moving" Ichiro yelled
Everyone agreed although with some resistance but the trial began anyway
Trial Begin
Hiro so where do we begin
Gonta Gonta doesn't know either, maybe Kyoko knows
Kyoko I guess we should start with the murder weapon since that is the easiest
Ichiro That's easy it was the kitchen knife it was missing this morning and the night before and I'm pretty sure the bloody knife found at the crime fits that description
Twogami Yes that does help but we aren't going to get anywhere with things that we already know and since most of us were at the meeting where we were gathering alibies, then there is really no point in going over that
Ryoko Here lets focus on what everyone in this room knows for certain, the kitchen knife was the murder weapon, Teruteru was killed just not long before he was found, and there was a scuffle between him and a girl, what we don't know is who killed them, why he was out at night, and what some certain clues mean like the piece of plastic.
Ichiro Yah um I didn't want to drop this bombshell this quickly but I think I should right Kyoko
Kyoko It is probably for the best
Aoi What do you mean bombshell
Ichiro What I mean is that we do know why Teruteru was out at night and not because he wanted a late night snack. He was out at night because he planned to kill someone that night specifically Ryoma.
Kiyo What's your proof
Ichiro This notepad that we found in Teruteru's room, I don't know what Kyoko used on it but it showed a perfect match to the letter Ryoma received.
Nagito This does put you under suspicion you do realize that right
Ichiro I'm aware
Nagito But in this case I believe you are innocent and not because of Tenko's account, Monokuma when is the murder announcement played?
Monokuma After three different people have discovered the body
Nagito This does exclude the murder correct
Monokuma Yes it does
Nagito There we go because Ryoma and Ichiro found the body and the announcement didn't come on until a third person who could have been anyone but it does help establish a better timeline because the body was discovered I would say two minutes after the announcement so it shortens our timetable a little bit
Hifumi I fail to see how that helps us but Mr. Aiko what do you mean Teruteru planned to kill Ryoma, I mean Teruteru was the one killed
Kyoko Hifumi just because Teruteru was killed doesn't mean he was entirely innocent, he wrote the note and planned the whole thing but got killed instead
Hifumi Ms. Kirigiri, I see your point but I doubt that the victim was supposed to be the murderer
Miu Fat fuck could you not be a dumbass pervert and realize that Teruteru was supposed to be here and not Ryoma, Teruteru schemed and got fucked by karma alright. I believe that fixes that, is there any other evidence that we should fucking talk about before we move on to something else
Makoto Actually yes, this morning when I was late to breakfast I investigated the washroom and incinerator room and found that the washroom had an empty bottle of bleach and the incinerator was left on presumably the murderer was trying to hide something
Kaito They probably got blood on them and needed to wash off so no one would catch them
Kirumi I highly doubt that they would have had to do so when we went to bed
Shuichi That's most likely true for both but no one showed up bloody, most likely they changed their clothes and then used the bleach and incinerator after.
Ryoko Did anyone show up bloody or disorganized in any way
Everyone looked at each other hoping that someone may have seen someone like that but no one spoke up, which led to everyone either being disappointed or angry
Ichiro So to sum everything up, we have gotten nowhere yet I mean we have established a few things but none of them get us any closer to finding the culprit.
Byakuya Actually if you recall, there was a footprint of some sorts. It was in a rectangular shape so most likely a sandal or something of that nature
Hajime So shouldn't that make this case a lot easier we just have to look at everyone's footwear
Shuichi That is true but, the only problem with that is they already got the shoe clean or they have new shoes.
Kaede That is a problem isn't it, here could everyone take their shoes off and place them on their respective podiums, please. This could help to narrow down suspects,
Ouma Is this really necessary
Ryoko Yes it is unless you like getting ran into the ground
Ouma Fine
Hiyoko I don't know guys I have to agree with Kokichi this doesn't really accomplish anything
Mikan W-well if it didn't accomplish anything I'm sure everyone here wouldn't have a problem with it then
Hiyoko Shut it skank
Kirumi Hiyoko watch your language now do as Kaede says and take off your shoes and show that they are clean
Hiyoko Fine
Hiyoko finally decided to comply and showed her shoes.
Hajime Hey didn't you have sandals earlier
Hiyoko Yah I did, but I accidentally stepped in a patch of blood at the scene so I switch shoes
Hajime I guess that is fine for now but perhaps next time don't step in the blood
Hiyoko I know I know I just messed up I'm sorry
Kaito Ok well that should explain the footprint then right
Ichiro I hope so but as of right now Hiyoko is the blackened in my opinion
Kaede Woah Woah Woah you surely don't think that Hiyoko is the killer do you
Ichiro Not yet but that footprint was there before you got there Hiyoko
Kaito I really doubt that Ichiro
"Hmm it seems you are all undecided on the matter, I guess it is time for my favorite kind of debate. The Scrum Debate, in this debate you will be divided into different sides of what you believe is right. In this case, it is whether Hiyoko is a possible suspect or not and since there is so many of you only five will be representing each side. If you would like to participate please select the right button on your podium for Hiyoko is a suspect and press the left one if you believe she is not."
Not everyone pressed a button immediately but a few did, Ichiro was the only one who pushed the is a suspect button right away while Kirumi, Kaito, and Kaede all went with not a suspect. After a few seconds, Hajime and Kyoko joined the side of is a suspect while Taka joined the side of not a suspect. No one really made a move after that because no one wanted to pick a side or be involved in this debate but eventually, Ryoma and Shuichi joined the suspect side while Angie joined the no a suspect side
"The scrum debate will begin with the side believing Hiyoko is not a suspect, present evidence to refute the opposition's points. I will be deciding the winner at the end, let the Scrum Debate begin"
Taka HIYOKO IS TOO YOUNG AND INNOCENT TO BE ABLE TO PULL THIS OFF
Ryoma First off Hiyoko is the same age as us and just because they seem innocent doesn't mean they are innocent
Kaito But she was with Kirumi all night
Shuichi Kirumi was asleep for at least thirty minutes, that is more than enough time to leave kill and get at least a new kimono
Kirumi But she was there when I woke up, and she was asleep I doubt she could have made it back before the announcement went off and if she could have then allibies like
Ryoma's and Ichiro's would become invalid
Hajime Actually she had more time because she had thirty minutes and a kimono is only one piece of clothing while someone like Ichiro has three maybe four pieces of clothing that would need to be changed
Kaede But she has always struggled to tie her kimono up
Kyoko She could have easily pretended like it was tied or say it came untied in her sleep and have Kirumi re-tie it
Angie But Atua says that she didn't do it and says that someone else did do you really think a god would lie about this
Ichiro I hate to be that guy but as an atheist, I believe that whatever a god says is just what the person wants to believe so they pretend god told them that, that is true, and I think that we should trust the people that are actually in this situation not some fictional person that isn't here
"Hmm some strong arguments but the side of Hiyoko is not a suspect wins out by a very large margin"
Ichiro Well I guess that is resolved so Hiyoko is on the suspect list but isn't confirmed blackened
Angie, I prefer to respect people's opinions but I just can't believe your audacity to disrespect Atua, why are you so cynical
Ichiro oh god I know I may act cynical but I'm more of a realist and my philosophy is that if I don't see I don't believe it and have I seen Atua have you even seen Atua, I just don't believe in a god that I've never seen nor heard anything about
Angie Angie will be consulting Atua on this matter for the remainder of the trail
Angie then curls up into a ball and lays on the floor of the podium with a neutral expression, it almost looked like she wasn't breathing almost.
Makoto Alright since that happened let's move on obviously, we still have a few things to figure out like how the killer got the knife away from Teruteru as well as what the piece of plastic has to do with anything
Ryoko Wouldn't it make the most sense for a stronger girl to be the most likely suspect here
Nekomaru He wasn't the strongest guy out there, I doubt it would have taken much
Tenko Agreed, that disgusting male was extremely weak
Shuichi With that in mind can we really rule anyone out
Ichiro Well no, but I think I've figured out where the plastic came from, Makoto do you by chance have that piece of plastic
Makoto Yes I do
Ichiro Could you bring it here, please
Makoto left his stand and walked around the circle to Ichiro and handed it to him and walked back to his stand, at this point, everyone was looking at him confused because no one knew where he was going with this.
Ichiro Hiyoko do you happen to have a pack of gummy bears with you
Hiyoko No, no I do not
Ichiro Oh well this will just be harder to prove then. I believe that this wrapper is a gummy bear package wrapper that Hiyoko really likes, now it could just be a coincidence but I believe Hiyoko is the killer but I can easily be wrong here so anyone here can refute that because based on some questionable things like the footprint among other things is making me more and more suspicious of Hiyoko and her "alibi"
Ryoko Ichiro isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence
Ichiro It could be but I doubt that a piece of plastic that was there before the murder would wind up on top of the blood
Kirumi It probably just got moved there it is pretty light any sort of wind from, say walking could blow it somewhere
Ichiro That is what I want to think but I doubt it, I think if we went to Hiyoko's room we would fine bleached shoes and clothing that Makoto mentioned or even possibly bloody clothing. Kirumi I have a question for you, did Hiyoko have her kimono untied when you woke up
Kirumi Why would you want to know that
Ichiro Because if she is the killer, then she would have gotten blood on herself and she has also been known to struggle with getting her dress on most of the time just tying the bow into a knot
Kirumi Well um I don't necessarily recall but I think it was tied
Ichiro Are you absolutely positive
Kirumi Now that I think about it, I don't believe she had her kimono tied correctly
Maki We should let Hiyoko speak on the matter before we make a decision based on circumstances and coincidences
Ichiro That's fair Hiyoko do you have a defense
Hiyoko Yah I do, why are you guys pinning this on me. I am innocent I am too weak to stab that bastard let alone knock the knife out of his hand I mean come on
Hajime What do you mean by knocking the knife out
Hiyoko Well I mean I couldn't knock the knife out of his hand, the bruises on his wrists say so
Hajime We never formally agreed on how Teruteru loss the knife, he could have just dropped it on his own accord, it could have been knocked out as you say, or he may have stabbed himself by being forced to by someone else
Ichiro The first and third options are actually both more than likely wrong but the second option is most likely correct. Mikan and Kyoko discovered bruises on his wrists which should leave you to believe that the knife was knocked out of his hand at some point during the skirmish between Teruteru and the blackened
Mikan T-that is correct, we found that there w-were multiple bruises on his right h-hand.
Kyoko That was most likely the hand he held the knife with
Ryoko Is it possible to say that Teruteru could have lost the knife without much effort, his hands could have been sweaty and just lost his grip on the knife
Twogami Doubtful, the bruises on his wrists are saying that he loss the knife by force, not by accident
Byakuya Then how did Hiyoko know that Teruteru loss the knife by force, obviously the bruised wrist were in the file but I doubt that most people here would come away with the conclusion that he loss the knife by force until after this most recent discussion
Sonia If that's true then I'm sure Hiyoko figured it out on her own right Hiyoko...
Ichiro Hiyoko you there, hello anyone there
Hiyoko Whaaaa, I can't do this anymore. I can't keep lying to you all
Kirumi What do you mean Hiyoko
Hiyoko I killed him, I killed Teruteru
Byakuya Figures
Ichiro I, was right?
Hiyoko Yah you were right the whole time I just couldn't bring myself to admit to it until now
Aoi But why
Hiyoko It was never my intention to kill him,
*Begin Flashback*
Hiyoko had just left the comfort of Kirmui to go see if the kitchen, or more specifically the snack section of the kitchen, hoping that there would be gummy bears there waiting for her to eat them. She walked in and stopped thinking that she had just heard footsteps outside but ultimately continued forward thinking that it was just her imagination. She had just grabbed a bag of gummy bears, more specifically the Hasbro brand that Ichiro had mentioned yesterday. She had just opened the door and opened her package when she heard a breath, she turned just in time to see Teruteru about ready to make his strike. She stuffed her bag inside her kimono and started to expertly dodge his strikes using her dance skills, eventually landing a few solid strikes on his wrist causing him to lose the knife and then she picked it up and without thinking stabbed him before he could do anything else. Teruteru suddenly clutched the area where he stabbed and fell back on the doors to the dining hall. He then muttered to her,
"Get out of h-here, Ryoma should be here any moment"
"Teruteru I'm so sorry I didn't mean to, I'll get Kyoko or someone"
"N-no I will be dead and so will you by then, just go before Ryoma or someone shows up"
Crying Hiyoko ran to her room and put a new kimono on but not fully as she still was unable to properly put one on, she threw her gummies on her bed and kimono in her closet and ran to where Kirumi was. As soon as she got there the announcement rang throughout the school. As Kirumi awoke she pretended to have been there the whole time all the while knowing that she would be caught eventually.
*End Flashback*
Hiyoko It truly was never my goal to kill him, it just... happened
Kaede I am truly sorry Hiyoko, this should have never happened
Ryoko So what do we do, she doesn't deserve to be put to death for a murder that Teruteru caused
Byakuya She had the option to not kill him, but she killed him. She could have easily walked away
Nagito Monokuma, on what grounds are we allowed to sacrifice someone
Ichiro Why the hell would you ask that
Nagito I'm trying to see if I can sacrifice myself instead of killing Hiyoko
Hiro What are you crazy
Nagito We will see, Monokuma answer my question please'
Monokuma: You all have to agree upon the sacrifice, but the vote on who should be sacrificed does not have to be unanimous
Nagito Thanks Monokuma
Monokuma: No problem kiddo
Ichiro As much as I don't want to put Hiyoko to death, I am not going to vote to sacrifice someone who did not kill anyone even though they are willing to be sacrificed
Twogami I am inclined to agree with Ichiro
Taka Same here
Byakuya So we have discussed the option to sacrifice and it is clear that that option is n longer available to us. So I think we should move on to the execution, we have a confession and there is little more to discuss
Aoi Why are you so cruel
Byakuya I may act cruel, but I only state the facts and this is a game of survival, after all, you have to do what you can to survive
Ichiro Look he may be an asshole but he is right, I'm sorry Hiyoko I truly am but we need to move on to the vote, Monokuma we are ready
Monokuma: Alright everyone please select the face of who you think the blackened is, now be careful you don't want to select wrong and let the blackened walk free
Everyone selected who they thought the blackened was, they all selected immediately, all the while Hiyoko was tearing up at her podium and Kirumi who was next to her was trying her best to comfort her but wasn't very successful. They all gave each other glances all full well knowing that they were sentencing Hiyoko Saionji to death. Then Monokuma broke the silence like a knife through butter.
"Alright everyone, you have all voted and here are the results"
The results were displayed on a screen above Monokuma, it showed that Hiyoko had one hundred percent of the votes. Showing that even Hiyoko voted for herself, most likely because she had finally given up on her chance of life
"You are correct you blackened is Hiyoko Saionji and she killed your perverted ultimate cook Teruteru Hanamura. Hiyoko Saionji you are sentenced to death."
Monokuma got up from his chair and went to grab Hiyoko, Kirumi tried to stop him but she was shoved aside and then he grabbed Hiyoko's hand and dragged her to a separate room and then he locked the door. The wall separating the trial room and the room that Hiyoko was thrown in, suddenly separated allowing everyone to see inside. Inside there was a machine that looked like a Just Dance game.
The game started up and Hiyoko was forced to start dancing, she never missed a step but the game started to ramp up its speed. She continued to never miss a beat, but you could see the wear and tear in her body and movements. She was becoming tired and slowing up, she was struggling to keep her perfect score. She then suddenly took a misstep, which caused the game to stop and then the word FAIL appeared on the screen. Then an ax came out of the machine, Hiyoko started to run away but she was to slow. The ax came swinging at Hiyoko cutting her head off. Hiyoko was dead leaving forty-eight students left inside of the School Killing Game
