flashfire912 – Indeed that is correct. The trial never stops at part 2… or does it?

hunterofcomedy – Ishimaru will always find ways… he just needs to be sneaky about it. That's all. Asahina's murder will finally be discussed on the next part.

SendokaiZak – Ishimaru might be doing right although he needs to think when giving evidence that is based from personal thoughts.

PRrussiaGC – Observations are very stellar. Indeed that Fujisaki being absent would mean a lot of things, they would never get any answers from her. They can only hope that Fujisaki might wake up in this class trial for clues.

Now for the recent poll about who killed Togami, not bad at all guys.

3 – Junko

2 – Oowada and Fujisaki

1 – Sakura

Attention once more, poll has been updated to see if any of you changed your minds. Enjoy part 2 of the class trial!


Friendships are to be treasured always.

Only you, me and the universe.

The moments are never limited to good things.

Sometimes, arguments are important to develop things further.

Reconcile and give a hug. Have a cup of chocolate.

This shouldn't be over soon.


Hope's Peak Academy : Underground Floor

- Courtroom

- Wednesday

- 10:24 a.m.


CELES: "…"

ISHIMARU: "Well, are you going to stand upfront and come clean?"

CELES: "You have to be serious to accuse me like that… I propose an idea."

CELES: "If you wish to accuse me, kindly bring out proofs that I indeed murdered Togami."

CELES: "If you also plan on accusing me on Asahina's murder, so be it."

SHIKI: (What is she thinking? She may not be the first three to trigger the Body Discovery Announcement but would she really do it?)

SHIKI: (I think I'll keep my mouth shut until a point where an error can be found is spoken out of them.)

SHIKI: (Perhaps this is her way of acting innocent… the Queen of Liars.)

SHIKI: (Could it be that her entire alliance with us was an entire lie as well?)

ISHIMARU: "My witness seeing you while I was at the cafeteria is one to ante up."

SHIKI: (The question was what time did he see her?)

ISHIMARU: "Second forth, the fact that you can trick Togami with your elusive lies."

ISHIMARU: "If I may to theorize, there's an ulterior motive for you joining Shiki's team in the first place."

ISHIMARU: "You wanted to remove suspicion this way and probably frame your teammates!"

SHIKI: (A weak point although valid.)

ISHIMARU: "Lastly, you timed your murder perfectly because your physical capabilities are strictly limited to norms!"

ISHIMARU: "No knives were washed, no signs of hammers being used in the art room."

ISHIMARU: "But then you thought of something that would give us an unclear time of the murderer's time to begin, using the kerosene bottles and the bunsen burner to accomplish that certain requirement."

SHIKI: (Wow, on point Ishimaru. I applaud a little.)

SHIKI: "…"

CELES: "Is that all?"

ISHIMARU: "Yes."

CELES: "Sigh…"

ISHIMARU: "Don't play away again."

CELES: "Am I? I think someone else here knows better."

KIRIGIRI: "…"

KIRIGIRI: "Why are you looking at me? Just because I'm the person with the highest capability of analysis doesn't mean I am to be depended on."

CELES: "But I am accused of being the blackened here, would I to make a rebuttal would only bring more fuel to the fire in this trial."

CELES: "Better yet, why don't we vote for me now if that would make you feel better Ishimaru."

SHIKI: (That statement alone makes me believe that she didn't do it.)

ISHIMARU: "It is a stealthy strike! I am indeed correct!"

SHIKI: "I think Celes is trying to make a point… do you want to vote for her after the time we had?"

ISHIMARU: "…Well."

SHIKI: "Look, we need to talk about the things you said earlier… if they indeed hold truth then we'll accept it."

ISHIMARU: "Fine!"

CELES: "I guess my life is now under your temporary control."

SHIKI: "…Alright then."


PHASE 4

Nonstop Debate!

Available Ammunition:

== Togami's Book

== Wish Motive

== Burnt Paper Remains

== Monokuma File No.3

== Vomit

MAIZONO: "Are we supposed to go over each of the three things Ishimaru said?"

MAIZONO: "Or rather… have him repeat it without a mistake."

ISHIMARU: "I shall be glad to repeat my three points that can incriminate Celes."

CELES: "We'll see…"

ISHIMARU: "Now then, the first thing I pointed out was that I saw her at the cafeteria last night."

ISHIMARU: "She was sitting down drinking something from a cup."

CELES: "Indeed I was and what time was it that you saw me?"

ISHIMARU: "…Around 9:10 p.m."

ISHIMARU: "Next is that she can bring up elusive lies to even someone like Togami."

ISHIMARU: "Because not only she is the SHSL Gambler, she is also entitled the Queen of Liars."

ISHIMARU: "Lastly, you timed your murder perfectly because your physical capabilities are strictly limited to norms."

ISHIMARU: "No knives were washed, no signs of hammers being used in the art room."

ISHIMARU: "But then you thought of something that would give us an unclear time of the murderer's time to begin, using the kerosene bottles and the bunsen burner to accomplish that certain requirement."

ISHIMARU: "That is all…"

SAKURA: "Those seem to be perfectly detailed claims for him to know."

FUKAWA: "I don't know if I can… well.. this is my prince."

SHIKI: "No! That's wrong!"

Ammunition Used: Wish Motive


ISHIMARU: "..Was it something I said? An error of some kind?"

SHIKI: "No, there was nothing wrong with the three statements repeated… except."

ISHIMARU: "Except what?"

SHIKI: "You'll see… I'll bring out my wish motive to get things started."

SHIKI: "Listen to what I have to say about this… according to what mine was written, that if I have to murder another student here…"

SHIKI: "I may be able to bring one student along with me to graduate."

SHIKI: "Monokuma did not prohibit us from sharing the letter to others."

ISHIMARU: "So you're telling me that if Celes were the culprit, she wouldn't have to reveal hers correct?"

CELES: "Ahh that.. here it is."

CELES: "According to mine, it is said that if I murder a student, I may be able to earn 1 trillion yen in cold hard cash... and a European castle of my choosing."

CELES: "Which of course is an offer I can easily refuse… because of my skills."

ISHIMARU: "Tsk."

SHIKI: "Next, let's talk about one of the deceased's motives…"

SHIKI: "Have you ever considered that instead of the paper remains being an invitation, it was the motive instead?"

SHIKI: "It was in an envelope after all which would explain the half-burnt status."

SHIKI: "The Togami Enterprises as some of you may know rules the world… in his words I guess."

MONOKUMA: "Upupu! Sure he does!"

MAIZONO: "Either that or he's too proud of himself."

KIRIGIRI: "The question in here is simple: what else would someone like him desire?"

ALL: "…"

SAKURA: "She brought up an excellent question… perhaps for more power?"

JUNKO: "He is kind of you know… stuck here and where's the police and stuff."

JUNKO: "We should have been saved from the beginning of the day."

SHIKI: "…"

CELES: "I know what he needed at that moment, tell them Shiki."

SHIKI: (Something he desired… of course!)

FILES!

SHIKI: "This has to be it!"


SHIKI: "The files…"

OOWADA: "…What files?"

SHIKI: "If there was one thing he needed from us, it's those files…"

SHIKI: (I think Monokuma already knew that… with the conversations and everything.)

MONOKUMA: "Were you referring to these?"

SHIKI: (He brings out the documents that were in his hands before shredding it apart.)

SHIKI: "…Sigh."

MAIZONO: "Oh no..."

CELES: "...Tsk."

MONOKUMA: "We've discussed this Shiki didn't we? That there was a price for a cry for help."

SHIKI: "…I know."

KIRIGIRI: "Wouldn't that mean that the killer had to be the five of us?"

CELES: "Remember though that I am the one being incriminated at the moment."

MAIZONO: "We're trying to prove her innocence right? Her whereabouts…"

KIRIGIRI: "Monokuma, when did you take these documents away from us?"

MONOKUMA: "Why do you need to know? Fine! Since you guys are having a hard time, I'll do a little something."

MONOKUMA: "I took those documents away from you during his murder. There."

MONOKUMA: "God I have to teach you bastard fuckers the right way…"

KIRIGIRI: "…I see."

MAIZONO: "So which of us took hold of these documents?"

KIRIGIRI: "It was me… I was in charge in holding those papers."

OOWADA: "…You're giving yourself away?"

SHIKI: "Of course not… you would know better."

SHIKI: "It means that someone stole the documents unnoticed… and that should prove that Celes isn't the killer because…"

KIRIGIRI: "I never gave her the documents… to be precise, I never gave it to anyone at all."

CELES: "So that would cripple everything Ishimaru worked hard for… Hehehe…"

ISHIMARU: "…No way."

ISHIMARU: "…Auggh! I'm a… shame!"

CELES: "I was waiting for this moment…"

OOWADA: "…Idiot."

SHIKI: "Now you know how I feel Ishimaru… back to topic. Monokuma must have teleported to your room and took it from you unnoticed."

KIRIGIRI: "Unfortunately so… but I felt like he should have done so earlier."

KIRIGIRI: "There's a reason why Monokuma delayed it after his obsessive complaining about the cameras being taped."

MONOKUMA: "Yay! Am I in the spotlight now?"

FUKAWA: "Who are we accusing here?"

FUKAWA: "Can we even accuse the mastermind? Is that even allowed?"

MONOKUMA: "Nonsense! I didn't kill that little piece of an extra!"

FUKAWA: "W-who are you calling an extra!? Don't make me…"

MONOKUMA: "Bitch please… I'd punish you the moment you put those stupid genoscissors on my bearly gorgeous face."

FUKAWA: "T-tch!"

SHIKI: "So how about it Monokuma? Can you tell us why'd you steal it during the murder and not early on?"

MONOKUMA: "I'll answer you that question half-way! I wanted today's murder to be elaborate; you know to kick things up a notch."

SHIKI: (This discussion is now getting stranger and stranger… at least Celes is innocent.)

SHIKI: (Now Monokuma is involved because he took the papers away from us… at least he has no idea that Kirigiri took the pictures thanks to the camera found by Celes.)

SHIKI: (Today's atmosphere shifts to the headmaster because not only does he know who the killer is but also he wanted one in.)

SHIKI: (In fact, why did he do it?)


PHASE 6

Select! Why did Monokuma take the documents during the murder?

- Because he felt we know too much about what he's hiding.

- Because he's helping someone.

- Because Kirigiri is lying.

SHIKI: "This should be it!"


SHIKI: "Hey guys… do you think he's helping someone commit a murder?"

MONOKUMA: "Oh am I now? Pfft!"

SHIKI: "I mean… look at it this way, Kirigiri's right about taking them away as early as possible."

SHIKI: "Next, since he said he wanted to kick things up a notch, it means that he wanted the trial to be more complicated."

SHIKI: "If that were the case, what kind of killer requires Monokuma's assistance… if Monokuma even approves of their request to make a perfect murder."

OOWADA: "Hmmrmmgph… maybe someone who can even handle carrying heavy things? Fujisaki?"

FUKAWA: "No way! She's too feeble to fight Togami to begin with! And it doesn't even match the footprint to add it up."

FUKAWA: "Maybe it was Maizono who tried to kill again because of her failed attempt! I won't do it again my ass!"

MAIZONO: "W-what!? No! Not this time! I was with Fujisaki before we returned to our rooms at the Night Time Announcement! Celes, saw us before we went to our rooms!"

CELES: "Indeed I have seen them… they have held no handkerchief because they just left the changing room."

FUKAWA: "You guys could have left the room at around… you know, 4:30 or some time where everyone is asleep!"

FUKAWA: "Then you guys just ambushed Togami without mercy! Don't lie!"

ISHIMARU: "Fukawa? No, I can't think of the possibility… it must be the other way around."

FUKAWA: "What!?"

ISHIMARU: "If Togami were to be culprit, he'd have you as an accomplice and then kill you."

FUKAWA: "I… would he… I guess…"

SHIKI: (She really would go for anything huh…)

KIRIGIRI: "Was Monokuma asked for help or was obliged to assist them without question."

KIRIGIRI: "It's very difficult to establish a culprit due to these circumstances… they picked the perfect time."

KIRIGIRI: "A case in which it is very difficult… because there weren't any witnesses during the time of murder."

KIRIGIRI: "In this case… I take it that they started their murder at around 6:00 in the morning."

KIRIGIRI: "With the time the three of you gave to us, it is without a doubt that you and Ishimaru are safe."

JUNKO: "Which leaves me huh? Sigh… I thought so."

KIRIGIRI: "Junko, this matches everything to you… the foot mark, the required help from Monokuma, the way you used the files."

JUNKO: "Yawn… fine vote for me. You got me."

SHIKI: (That was definitely sarcasm… but I should set this one out.)

JUNKO: "Well this was shorter than I expected. Congrats."

MAIZONO: "…So did we win? She admitted it?"

OOWADA: "Monokuma, why the fuck did you want to help this girl?"

MONOKUMA: "Because she wanted one out obviously! What do you think?"

SHIKI: (This was a quick trial… but have we talked about Asahina's murder yet?)

SHIKI: (Or maybe we should discover who her killer is for Sakura's sake.)

SHIKI: "…"

SHIKI: "Is there only going to be one punishment?"

MONOKUMA: "Depends, elaborate on what you said."

SHIKI: "Would finding only one killer be enough? Even if we discover Asahina's murder, we can still execute only one of the blackened."

MONOKUMA: "Yep, there's only going to be one punishment and I know who's going in it!"

JUNKO: "Sigh.. whatever."

ISHIMARU: "Aren't you guilty of anything? You're going to die."

JUNKO: "Yeah, that's life. Haha!"

SHIKI: "…"

MONOKUMA: "Have you all made the verdict? Well then, let's-"

SHIKI: "Stop."

SHIKI: (All eyes turn to me.)

OOWADA: "Come on dude! It's our chance! She surrendered!"

SHIKI: "I need to think for quite a while… something's not right… again."

SHIKI: "A small event that can go unnoticed can change everything."

SHIKI: (Let's try and recap a few things for Togami's case.)

SHIKI: "I've got it all figured out!"


JUNKO: "Hey! Wake up doofus!"

SHIKI: "…"

JUNKO: "Are you going to vote for me or not? I'm getting tired."

KIRIGIRI: "…"

SHIKI: "Ok then… Junko, I know this footprint matches you perfectly besides Celes and Maizono."

SHIKI: "You will at least admit it right?"

JUNKO: "Hehe! Yep!"

FUKAWA: "You killed Togami! Graaah!"

OOWADA: "Hey! Chill the fuck out!"

SHIKI: (She runs towards Junko and tries to grab her hair to yank it out not until Junko catches both of her hands and begins to twist it.)

FUKAWA: "A! OW! Stop it! You're hurting me!"

JUNKO: "Hey you started it!"

SHIKI: (This went on for a few more seconds.)

ISHIMARU: "Both of you! Stop it!"

SHIKI: (He breaks off the fight by pushing both people away from each other with Maizono guiding Junko back to her podium.)

SHIKI: "May I continue?"

JUNKO: "Yeah."

SHIKI: "Okay so it means something… she was a part of today's murder mystery, she probably got Togami upstairs and carried him to the Physics Room."

SHIKI: "But that doesn't mean that she was the one who killed Togami."

ALL: "…"

ISHIMARU: "WHAT? THE? HECK!?"

JUNKO: "…Eh?"

KIRIGIRI: "Hmm…"

SHIKI: "And this is something that will guide you!"


PHASE 8

Present Evidence!

1. | Monokuma File No. 3 | Review files again?

2. | Bunsen Burner | Found nearby the body, singed and still on.

3. | Kick Mark | A kick mark was found on Togami's abdomen. It formed an oblong shape.

4. | Burnt Paper Remains | In his pocket are burnt pieces of paper.

5. | Metal Pipes | These were used to block the door to prevent escape.

6. | Gas Pellets | scattered across the physics lab, all of them were used.

7. | Kerosene Bottles | These were found in the physics lab and were used by the culprit for flammable purposes.

8. | Togami's Book | The only thing suspicious in that room is a dropped book.

9. | Monokuma File No. 4 | Review files again?

10. | Vomit | this vomit was mixed along with blood... and chocolate?

11. | Chocolate Bottles | these bottles of chocolate are found in the refrigerator in a container and three of these are used.

12. | Paint Spill | A very small spill of pink paint was found at one of the counters at the cafeteria.

13. | Paint Buckets | it suggests that the killer used one of the buckets for the murder as poison.

14. | Extractor | The object used for extraction might have been disposed.

15. | Wish Motive | There are several reasons why the motive is useful despite how easy it is to ignore it.

SHIKI: "This should be it!"


SHIKI: "If you would all check the Monokuma File once more, Togami died by third-degree burns… not a kick to the stomach."

SHIKI: "However! However, most of you are on the same line of thought with the saying.

SHIKI: "But Shiki! That was not the final blow, they just kicked him, chloroformed the hell out and then dragged him upstairs."

SHIKI: "But what about considering the words of Junko right now as a lie?"

SHIKI: (Junko gave me a disgusting expression.)

JUNKO: "…"

SHIKI: "Hey Celes, can you tell if someone's lying?"

CELES: "It is my specialty… and Junko is one pathetic liar."

JUNKO: "Oh please! Like you're some psychologist or whatever!"

SHIKI: "Point is, she didn't give the final blow… she's an accomplice!"

MAIZONO: "But we're so close… I don't know whether to trust you or not but… who are we supposed to accuse now?"

SHIKI: (I'm all over the place… note to self, try to take it slow under a time-limited session in court.)

KIRIGIRI: "Shiki, I have to say… I apologize."

SHIKI: "For what? You are a major role here… there was nothing wrong with the planned timeline."

KIRIGIRI: "I just missed or rather ignored a chance that seemed possible but under these particularities not likely."

KIRIGIRI: "Anyway, I do ask myself the same thing… who would Junko be partners with?"

SHIKI: "With the progress so far, there was one other person…"

SHIKI: "I completely forgot about one more person I saw this morning."

SHIKI: (I'm even shocked to say this but… this person is the one responsible for his murder.)


Make an Accusation!

Current status of the students:

- This chapter was nothing more than a set of accusations thrown at each other, Ishimaru failing to accuse Celes thanks to the others who proved him wrong.

- They were surprised to hear that Monokuma had a small involvement in today's case, in which he stole the paper documents from Kirigiri to proceed with the murder.

- They agreed that the killer was someone who needed help with getting the files because they could not enter Kirigiri's room.

- Just because the kick mark analysis was made doesn't guarantee them being the killer… but it means something… they were in a collaboration with someone else.

And that is for you to figure out in the poll! Who among the survivors would form an alliance with Junko? Is Junko bluffing? Who knows? I do.

Clues are in the previous chapters… don't forget to review so I can see the reasons.

I'm going to bed now.. I've been working on this overnight. Hehehe. No harm done though.
