Chapter 4

I'm back! Welcome back to 'Hope's Tactic'. Chapter 4. like I said in last chapter, we are having the first murder. Ergo, the first class trial. And that's it. So, let's begin this chapter.

Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

"Monokuma Talking."

Chapter 4: Treason of Trust

It was early in the morning, and Makoto was making some coffee. Unlike yesterday, he got sleep in his room this time and Sayaka seemed to had slept well in her own room.

He took a sip of coffee and let out a content sigh. This was the best way to wake up every morning.

"Hey Makoto!" Asahina said as she and Sakura got into the cafeteria where he was. "How did you sleep?"

Makoto shrugged "Can't complain. Actually, slept tonight."

Sakura nodded with a smile "That's good. Yesterday you looked pretty bad."

"I felt pretty bad yesterday." Makoto said as he sat next to Sakura. Not so soon after that, the others started to arrive.

All but two.

"Hey, where are Sayaka and Leon?" Junko asked. And it was a good question. Some good minutes had passed and they haven't showed up.

"Hm... I'll go fetch Sayaka." Makoto said as he stood up and walked to her room. He raised a brow as he saw that her door was slightly open. He opened it and peeked inside "Sayaka? You here?"

"M-Makoto?" He heard Sayaka's shaky voice and he knew something was wrong. He rushed to the bathroom where she was and the sight made his eyes widen.

Sayaka covered in blood with Leon's corpse on the shower.

"Upupupu! A body had been discovered! Everyone please come to the gym to explain what will happen next!" Monokuma's voice was heard as Makoto went to Sayaka and grabbed her shoulders.

"Sayaka, we need to go. Okay?" Sayaka nodded shakily as they stood up and walked to the gym.

"Wow! What the hell!?" Mondo asked seeing the blood covered Sayaka, still shaking.

"I think we already found the culprit." Celestia smiled and Makoto sighed. This will be hard.

"You are all here? Goodie! Now you might be wondering, what will happen now!? Well, bear with me because I will explain! We are going to have a class trial! You kiddies will look for clues and then will determine who the murder is! If you fail, the culprit will go scot free as you die! And if you catch the culprit, he or she will die! Good-"

"Wait! You actually expect us to follow those damn rules!?" Junko interrupted Monokuma making him angry.

"Eh? Of course you will! It is a direct order from your headmaster! I don't think you want to suffer the consequences, do you?" Monokuma said as three claws came from his paw.

Junko answer was to kick the robot back as it tried to scratch her.

"AH! A student attacked the headmaster! Spear of Gungnir! Protect me!" Monokuma exclaimed and before anyone could react, spears shot from behind the bear, stabbing Junko in different parts of her body.

Junko coughed blood, before the spears left her body and she fell to the blood dead.

"AAAAHHHHHH!" Chihiro screamed seeing the execution and Monokuma laughed.

"Upupupupu! For the rest of you to know to not attack me! Now leave and find some clues!" It ordered before leaving.

Makoto was staring at the corpse as Sayaka hugged his arm and started shaking. "Let's... look for clues." He said and Togami raised a brow.

"Are you that biased? It is clear that she killed Leon." Togami said.

"I don't care. She is innocent until it is proven the opposite." Makoto said as he rubbed his eyes. "Let's divide ourselves in pairs and look for clues."

"Oh? And how are we sure you won't tamper with the evidence?" Celestia asked covering her mouth with her hand.

"I doubt he will." Kyoko said "He doesn't look suicidal."

Makoto smiled at her and nodded, in a way of thank you.

Makoto and Sayaka walked a bit as she clung to his arm. "Sayaka, what happened back there?" Makoto asked "Tell me what happened as you found the body."

Sayaka nodded as she gulped "W-Well, I woke up and-and I went to take a shower and-and I found Leon d-dea-"

"Okay." Makoto stopped her, not wanting to bring more bad memories to her. "What you say if we go there and see if there was anything important."

Sayaka nodded shakly as they walked to her room, where Kyoko and Chihiro were already looking for clues.

"Found anything good yet?" Makoto asked and Kyoko shook her head.

"Not yet. But we found the weapon." Kyoko said taking showing them a small screwdriver covered in blood.

Makoto nodded "So, the killer is a man."

Kyoko nodded "I thought the same. The boys were given a tool-kit and the girls got sewing kits. So, that would be the most logical thing." She said and Makoto nodded.

"But I am guessing that you are still skeptical about getting Sayaka off the hook. Right?"

Kyoko nodded "She could have taken it from Leon's tool-kit. But like you said, she is innocent until proven the opposite."

Makoto nodded as he looked to the door. "Huh. Weird."

"Something wrong?" Chihiro asked and Makoto nodded.

"Sayaka, did you force the door or something last night?"

Sayaka shook her head "No. Why you ask?"

"Because it is broken." Makoto said as Kyoko's eyes widened and she took a closer look. It was a small detail, but the door was slightly broken, enough to prevent it from closing. "The guy must really be silent to avoid be heard. That's probably why the door was open this morning."

Kyoko nodded and before she could say anything else the obnoxious voice of Monokuma was heard.

"Time's up kiddies! Bring all the evidence you have, and let's begin the trial!"

Makoto sighed "Let's hope that someone got more evidence."

(A/N: This is the first class trial I write, well, no. Why? Because I don't have enough creativity in my head now, so I will write only the culprit, reason and execution. Sorry. I am really sorry.)

*After the Class Trial*

"Ding, Ding, Ding! Yamada Hifumi was the culprit!" Monokuma announced as everyone stared in shock to the fat writer.

"Y-Yamada? W-Why?" Chihiro asked as tears came to her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry! But I needed to go out! Please understand! People I care where in danger!" Yamada tried to explain as Mondo growled.

"That's your excuse!? We all saw different videos, all with people we care about in danger! But no one did the shit you did!" He growled at him as Monokuma laughed.

"Upupupu! For more fun this is, it is execution time!" Monokuma said as he got a small hammer and with it, hit a red button.

Yamada Hifumi was found guilty! Execution time!

A chain was shot and grabbed Yamada by the neck and dragged him to another room. The last room he will be.

*Execution! Watch Out, Princess Bukko! Great Monster Invasion!*

Yamada was dropped in the middle of a city being destroyed by a gigantic Monokuma, that was punching buildings, making Yamada jump to dodge.

Suddenly, a song of an opening of an anime he loves was heard. He looked to the sky, and saw Princess Bukko flying to the scene.

Princess Bukko landed in front of the giant Monokuma, leaving Yamada in the middle of both.

Both enemies glared at each other as they charged a laser. Yamada eyes widened seeing so much power as suddenly it was shot towards him. Both lasers clashed, with him in the middle, making him dust in a second.

*?*

"So sis; are ya ready for this!?"

"I am. And thanks for saving me. I honestly thought you almost kill me back there."

"Upupupu! No way I would do that! Now go! It is time to open the second floor, where you are!"

And done! That was chapter 4 of 'Hope's Tactic'. I am really enjoying this story lately. And again, sorry for not writing the class trial, I honestly didn't know how to do it. Anyway, thanks for reading, if you enjoyed leave a Review that it helps my motivation, PM me for any doubts or suggestion (For example how to write a good class trial), Follow and Favorite me and the story to know of any updates.
