(AN: For slight reference I won't reply to reviews during class trials. Just a preference for me. If you really want me to respond you can ask me to PM you back.
However, I wanted to warn you that daily updates are probably going to stop today, as school started up for me again, so I won't have much more free time like usual. Sorry about that…
Also, for the soundtrack, since this is a trial and reading sections will be considerably shorter before a soundtrack change, it's recommended that for here, you keep numerous tabs open with the soundtracks needed. The soundtracks used are:

+ Flashing Anagram
+ Repulsion! CROSS SWORDS!

Soundtrack: Class Trial Dawn Edition – Volume Two
MONOKUMA: Well then! Since this is your first class trial, let me lay out the law for you.
MONOKUMA: Reviewing from what I said last time…
TAKAYASHI: Woah! We're on an island! Totally cool!
KIREI: E-even I admit… it's peaceful being on the surface for once…
RYOKO: Damn, this fresh air rocks.
MEOWYKINS: Meow! We are not doing this again!
MONOKUMA: You guys are a bit talkative today, aren't we?
MIRAI: Hmm… before we begin, can I ask something, Mr. Bear?
MONOKUMA: What is it, my ditsy airhead?
MIRAI: I just wanted to know...did one of us really kill Hideki?
MONOKUMA: Yup!
MONOKUMA: Hideki was brutally murdered by the hands of one of your fellow students!
MICKY: Oh dear, oh dear! I can't keep up with this..! My muscles are getting limp..!
KAITO: You definitely don't deserve to wear those muscles.
UNMEI: K-Kaito, I wouldn't be mean to him.
UNMEI: He got into here as a bodyguard…
MICKY: Oh, don't worry darling, I could never lay my hands on a female.
KAITO: …Um?
KAITO: I'm a male.
MICKY: …Oh.
MONOKUMA: Getting back on topic here…
MONOKUMA: During this trial, you will have to figure out who out of here is the culprit. Who killed Hideki Komiya?
MONOKUMA: Point your finger at the TRUE villain, and the villain will be punished, allowing you guys to live out your lives in the underwater school for as much time there is left until it turns into the next Titanic.
MONOKUMA: However, point your finger at the WRONG person, in turn, the HEROES will be punished, letting the villain leave the school, FREE and CLEAR!
MONOKUMA: Now, as this is your first school trial…
NOAH: We do not need a preface.
NOAH: In fact, I believe we can end this trial right here and now.
MONOKUMA: Oho? Is that so?
HIKARU: He is correct.
MONOKUMA: Ack! Plot twist! My fur heart can't bear with this!
MONOKUMA: How can a ghetto prisoner like you team up with the likes of a heroic policeman? I cannot fathom it! How about you, Meowykins?
MEOWYKINS: Meow! I cannot either, sir!
HIKARU: Besides the point that we… aren't of the same kin…
NOAH: …I'm not sure kin is of the right word here.
HIKARU: …We have discovered at the scene of the crime, there was a SIM Card on the floor, as well as an ElectroID.
KIREI: R-really? Then, whoever dropped it has to be the killer, right?!
FURO: Are you saying that a SIM Card popped out of the ElectroIDs when someone dropped it?
MONOKUMA: I equipped these bad boys with SIM Cards in order to house the apps I developed for it.
MONOKUMA: So if you drop it high enough, then it's possible for it to fall off.
HIKARU: Yes, well, the problem was that the ElectroID went missing soon after.
HIKARU: I believe while we were in all that commotion, someone took the ElectroID to the cafeteria and disposed of it there.
YAYOI: But wouldn't we notice if that were to happen?
NOAH: It's possible we didn't notice. I'm sure there were… lots of mute people at the time.
RHYSSA: But, why would they take it to the cafeteria?
YOSHINORI: Mirai made that disgusting hole in the middle of it, remember?
KAITO: The fruit… the apple of Eden… it was burned brutally in force that a certain bear provided.
UNMEI: Don't get all fancy with your words here…
UNMEI: Anyways, so, the killer dropped it in the water?
NOAH: It either would have sank, or rose to the top, depending on whether or not it floats.
NOAH: Indeed, either way, it would not have made it.
HIKARU: I believe if we force everyone to show their ElectroIDs right now, we will be able to pinpoint the murder without any conflict.
YAYOI: Oh… I see!
YAYOI: Well, here's mine.
HIKARU: Good. So it is not Yayoi.
MICKY: Here's mine too, darling.
KEIKO: I have mine too, if you want to see it.
MIRAI: …Oh, I just remembered. I was holding mine when we got here.
HIKARU: And I believe Noah and I has our IDs in our possession as well?
NOAH: Yes.
NOAH: So, who doesn't have it? Whoever doesn't present their ElectroIDs right now is the true culprit!
YOSHINORI: Um, hate to break it to you, but…
RYOKO: Yeah, I think everyone has their ElectroIDs.
NOAH: …Hmm?
RYOKO: Everyone has them. So we can't convict the murder this way.
NOAH: …You are not kidding?
RYOKO: I don't kid around, bub!
RHYSSA: If… if no one has their ElectroID, then..!
FURO: Zip it, drama queen! We already said that.
FURO: Now we actually have to do this trial thing that Monokuma wants us to do, right?
MONOKUMA: Oh boy! And I actually thought that you were on to something there.
MONOKUMA: But alas, you guys fell short again!
MONOKUMA: Upupupu! That's hilarious..!
NOAH: Then how about this?
NOAH: We can insert the SIM Card into everyone's ElectroID.
NOAH: Should the killer have their ElectroID in their possession, instead of disposing it, anticipating that this would happen…
YAYOI: Then the SIM Card should match one of ours, right?
KIREI: H-here… you can try mine first. I-I want to get it over with.
NOAH: Okay.
NOAH: … …Hmm, it looks like you're in the clear.
KIREI: T-thank goodness…
YOSHINORI: Um, why do you seem relieved when you knew that you weren't the culprit?
YAYOI: Here, try mine next… I want to get it over with too.
NOAH: Alright.
NOAH: … …Looks like it's not you as well.
NOAH: And I'll try mine out right now… but obviously it's not me as well.
HIKARU: Would you like to try mine?
NOAH: Yes.
NOAH: … …It's not you either.
[…Some time passes as Noah checks each and every ElectroID, but…]
NOAH: H-how is this possible?
KAITO: None of our ElectroIDs were compatible..!
NOAH: God… what's exactly going on then?!
MIRAI: I think maybe instead of going on your theory, now we should try and piece together a couple of things.
TAKAYASHI: Hmm? Like what?
MIRAI: Well, there were lots of weird things around the crime scene, don't you think?
MIRAI: Like that crack in the aquarium. It's just a little unnatural if you ask me.
KEIKO: That confused me, as well. There's no point for the killer to have made a crack like that, unless they tried to kill Shougo instead of Hideki.
SHOUGO: …
TAKAYASHI: Um, hey, Monokuma?
TAKAYASHI: Why is Shougo here if you didn't let him investigate?
UNMEI: Shouldn't you let him rest?
MONOKUMA: I am letting him rest! He's getting a front row seat in all things despair!
MONOKUMA: Best entertainment I could think of, to be frank.
SHOUGO: Yeah, well, it's not very fun…
MONOKUMA: Just stay silent, you.
NOAH: What if Hideki was murdered like this?
NOAH: The killer wished to kill Shougo, but Hideki was there instead.
NOAH: The killer then killed Hideki to shut him up, and left.
MIRAI: Impossible.
NOAH: Huh?
NOAH: What do you know, exactly?
MIRAI: …I. Don't know. I think it's not possible…
MIRAI: I mean, did Hideki back up into the aquarium? Did the killer stab and then miss?
MIRAI: No, it's unnatural, is what I'm saying.
MIRAI: Hmm… also, the killer would have noticed Shougo witnessed the whole thing then, right?
HIKARU: But Shougo is not allowed to participate extensively.
MIRAI: But would they have known that at the time?
KEIKO: Mirai is right. If I were the killer, I would have silenced the both of them.
KEIKO: We have to think like the killer here… why exactly was there a crack on the aquarium?
MIRAI: I think figuring that out might help us find out more information about the murder itself.
NOAH: Very well. So we stipulate on this, is that correct?
MIRAI: …Stip… Yoo… late? What does that mean?
YOSHINORI: How does he get so smart, and then so stupid just moments later?
TAKAYAHSI: Alright! Enough of that! Silence up everyone, we're starting this thing!
KEIKO: The aquarium… that's closely linked to the murder itself, huh?
KEIKO: I guess it's time to figure out just exactly why!
You are about to read a Nonstop Debate. The Nonstop Debate is stylized in accordance to the game, and all contradictory terms will be bolded. However, like always, there is only ONE STATEMENT that is false, and that statement will be surrounded by marks like this: "=." For example, a statement may look like this: ==Murder weapon.==Please follow along, and do your best not to fall behind. Over and out.
Soundtrack: BREAK! 2nd Mix!
==PHASE ONE==
Nonstop Debate!
Usable Ammunition:
- Katana Case
- Missing Second Katana
- Flickering Lights
- Shougo's Testimony
- Glass Shards
MIRAI: Hmm… why is there a crack like that in the aquarium I wonder…
NOAH: You proved it was not in an attempt to subdue Hideki… Why indeed?
RYOKO: Shougo… you know why?
SHOUGO: I'm not allowed to talk.
TAKAYASHI: Yah! I have an idea!
TAKAYASHI: The crack came from Hideki!
YAYOI: What do you mean?
TAKAYASHI: The killer backed him into the wall…
TAKAYASHI: == And then bashed his head into the aquarium!==
KEIKO: You've got that wrong!
Soundtrack: Class Trial FUTURE PART
KEIKO: No, it shouldn't have been because his head was bashed in or anything.
TAKAYASHI: Eh? Why not?
KEIKO: It's simple… if his head was bashed into the aquarium…
KEIKO: Then what's the point of the slit on the case?
TAKAYASHI: A slit?
MIRAI: A slit that's big enough, roughly for the size of… say a katana?
YAYOI: A katana?!
YAYOI: Y-you mean the murder weapon?!
MICKY: B-but, honey… If the katana was the murder weapon…
MICKY: What was the point of stabbing it into the aquarium?
KEIKO: …That's a good question.
KEIKO: The only plausible thing I can think of right now is that Hideki was at the aquarium.
KEIKO: Then Hideki dodged out of the way, and the katana created that slit, as well as the cracks.
RHYSSA: Wait a minute! That sounds strange though.
NOAH: What's so strange about it?
RHYSSA: …Why would Hideki even be NEAR the aquarium then?
RHYSSA: There would be almost no reason to be with him, right?
SHOUGO: I'm sorry… I can't tell you that much.
SHOUGO: I wish I could help.
NOAH: She brings up a good point, though.
NOAH: Why did Hideki go near Shougo in the first place?
NOAH: If we don't answer that, I'm afraid I won't feel at rest with this case.
MIRAI: Hmm…
MIRAI: I. Don't know.
RYOKO: Since when that turn into a freaking catchphrase?!
MIRAI: But… I think maybe the second katana has to do with it. Somehow. Maybe?
KEIKO: The second katana..?
FURO: How would a second katana relate to this in any way?
FURO: Was there even a second katana to start?!
NOAH: Of course there was.
NOAH: In the katana case, there were slots to hold two katana swords.
NOAH: However, both of them were missing.
YOSHINORI: Are we sure that the second katana is related to this case though?
YOSHINORI: What if it disappeared before this case even started?
NOAH: That… would be a possibility, if it wasn't for another piece of evidence that makes me suspect otherwise.
YOSHINORI: More evidence?
YOSHINORI: The murder took place outside of Shougo's room too..?!
KEIKO: The second piece of evidence that proves that the second katana is related to this case…
KEIKO: Here we go! I can prove it!
A new element has been added to the Nonstop Debate. This time, there will be points that Keiko can agree with herself, instead of it being contradictory. These terms will be italicized and bolded. However, there can only be one true statement to agree with. These agreements will also be surrounded by equal marks. With this new addition, we get even closer to the truth. Over and out.
Soundtrack: BREAK! 2nd Mix!
==PHASE TWO==
Nonstop Debate!
Usable Ammunition:
- Blood Around Hole
- Missing ElectroID
- Cracks Around Hole
- Location of Second Katana
- Katana in Chest
YOSHINORI: How can we even be sure that the second katana is related to this case?
NOAH: It is just mere speculation, I will admit.
NOAH: However, ==there is a special piece of evidence that corresponds with my theory.==
RYOKO: And what evidence is this?
RYOKO: I don't see anything here worth incriminating, do you?
KAITO: We couldn't even find it. I'm sure it isn't related.
KEIKO: I concur!
Soundtrack: Class Trial FUTURE PART
KEIKO: Yes! There actually is evidence to support Noah's claim.
YOSHINORI: A-and what's that?
MICKY: A ray of love..!
KEIKO: …No.
KEIKO: If you took another look at the hole at the cafeteria…
FURO: The one Mirai made..?
KEIKO: Yes.
KEIKO: There is blood around the hole, and excessive cracks. But why?
TAKAYASHI: Maybe someone tripped?
NOAH: That may be the case.
NOAH: However, my speculation was…
NOAH: The killer panicked after killing Hideki, and rushes to dispose of the second katana.
NOAH: Thinking of a good place where it couldn't be retrieved, she heads to the cafeteria where Mirai made his infamous hole.
NOAH: The killer then stuffed the katana into the hole, and it floated to the top, or sank to the bottom.
TAKAYASHI: …Yeah, that… makes a little sense.
MICKY: Darling, darling, that assumes that both katanas were used in this case.
MIRAI: …I think it was.
MICKY: Hubababa?!
KEIKO: W-what do you mean?
KEIKO: Why would the killer wield two katanas?
MIRAI: …Hmm, I don't think it was the killer that was holding both katanas.
MIRAI: No, I think Hideki was probably holding one too… right? Maybe?
FURO: Hideki?! Why would that son of a bitch need to hold a katana anyways?
RYOKO: Obviously to defend himself!
MIRAI: Nope.
RYOKO: Eh?!
MIRAI: There's evidence too, right master?
KEIKO: Uh… who are you talking to?
MIRAI: You.
MIRAI: You know that there's evidence that proves I'm right.
KEIKO: Uh, right. But why me?
PRESENT YOUR EVIDENCE:
Cracks Around Hole
Glass Shards
Flickering Lights
KEIKO: This proves it!
KEIKO: There were glass shards found around Hideki's body. Is that what you're talking about, Mirai?
MIRAI: …I think so.
MICKY: Are you sure or unsure?!
HIKARU: Why would glass shards prove that our theory is wrong?
HIKARU: Say that Hideki rushed to the katanas to grab a sword to defend himself.
HIKARU: However, the killer overpowered him and backed him into the aquarium.
NOAH: He knocked over the glass cup after being knocked back… is that what you are saying?
HIKARU: That makes both of our theories true.
HIKARU: He went to get a katana to defend himself, but was knocked into the aquarium.
HIKARU: It explains the presence of both katanas, and it explains the glass shards as well.
MIRAI: …You might be right… and yet, you might be wrong too.
HIKARU: And how am I wrong?
MIRAI: Think back to the slit in the aquarium.
MIRAI: Why do you exactly think that the slit exists in the first place?
MIRAI: It's obvious it has something to do with this murder, unless Monokuma likes stabbing glass aquariums.
MIRAI: …I made a joke.
YOSHINORI: Maybe it was to give Shougo some air?
MIRAI: But a slit that small?
MIRAI: Numerous slits would make your theory right… probably.
MIRAI: But a slit that small wouldn't let air circulate. So your theory is… probably not right.
NOAH: Then what do you propose that the slit is for, Mirai?
MIRAI: …Hmm.
MIRAI: …Hmm!
MIRAI: …HMM!
MIRAI: Oops. I forgot.
MICKY: Are you kidding me?!
RHYSSA: But you were on such a streak, Mirai..!
KEIKO: Then I guess that's what we talk about next?
KEIKO: Why was there a slit in the aquarium..?
NOAH: I cannot think of a reason.
NOAH: However, I suppose that this matter should be cleared up.
In this Nonstop Debate, there will be phrases that can be used as ammunition, when the ammunition given does not suffice as evidence. These phrases will be underlined, and then the correct contradictory or correct phrase will be formatted as normal. I hope this helps lead you to the truth. Over and out.
Soundtrack: BREAK! 2nd Mix!
==PHASE THREE==
Nonstop Debate!
Usable Ammunition:
- Monokuma File No. 1
- Katana in Chest
- Katana Case
- Glass Shards
- Missing ElectroID
NOAH: Why would there be a slit in the aquarium?
NOAH: This brings up an important question.
HIKARU: It should also bring some light onto the existence of both the swords.
MIRAI: Maybe… we got the timeline mixed up?
RYOKO: The timeline?
MIRAI: Let's say that Hideki got the sword before the killer.
MIRAI: Then what?
FURO: That's stupid..!
FURO: There's not even a reason for Hideki to have the sword..!
TAKAYASHI: Yeah..!
TAKAYASHI: ==Not like he meant to kill..!==
KEIKO: You've got that wrong!
Soundtrack: Class Trial FUTURE PART
KEIKO: Takayashi, what you just said gave me an idea.
KEIKO: A crazy one that I don't want to think about… but it's the only logical explanation!
SHOUGO: …
TAKAYASHI: Oh! I did that?
TAKAYASHI: Go me!
NOAH: What is your theory, Keiko?
KEIKO: The reason that Hideki entered the room.
KEIKO: That's the reason that there's a slit on the aquarium!
MICKY: Um, I don't follow you sweetie.
UNMEI: Are you saying…
UNMEI: That Hideki meant to kill?!
KIREI: Ehhhhhh?!
KIREI: B-but Hideki-sama wouldn't try and kill anyone!
KIREI: …But I think that about everyone else here..!
KIREI: This is terrible..! A-ahh!
YAYOI: Wait a minute..! Back up for a second..!
YAYOI: Are you saying that Hideki wanted to kill Shougo?!
KEIKO: It could also explain why the killer entered the room in the first place as well!
MIRAI: Hmm… let's say that one of us heard the screams of Shougo after an attempted murder.
MIRAI: Then we would surely go into his room, right?
FURO: Wait a minute, you aren't suggesting that Hideki missed, are you?!
KEIKO: He probably panicked, and Shougo was able to dodge.
KEIKO: Either way, even if there wasn't a second slit...
KEIKO: He could just stab the same place over and over again.
RYOKO: Wait a minute..! Just back up!
RYOKO: Whatever happened to trying to find out who killed Hideki?!
RYOKO: You saying he killed himself? I don't follow you at all!
KEIKO: No..! The killer entered the room, thinking to stop the killer.
KEIKO: But whoever the killer was… there was a katana case right at the door waiting!
HIKARU: Yes. The case is in fact near the door…
HIKARU: It should be fairly easy for the killer to grab ahold of a weapon, should this theory be true.
RYOKO: No way..! Hideki wanted to kill Shougo first?!
SHOUGO: W-would that even count as a murder..?
MONOKUMA: Well, technically, you are a student at my school.
MONOKUMA: So that would surely indict a murder! Upupupu, that was smart of Hideki!
MONOKUMA: Unfortunately… he got the short straw, didn't he?!
MONOKUMA: Nyahaha!
RYOKO: Jesus Christ..! No way..!
NOAH: However, at this point, there is something I do not understand.
KEIKO: What is it?
NOAH: The ElectroID.
NOAH: So far, we can assume that the ElectroID belongs to the killer.
NOAH: When was it dropped? How does it relate to the case?
NOAH: I doubt that if the killer just had to charge in and kill Hideki…
NOAH: No, it's certain. The ElectroID would NOT have been dropped that way.
YAYOI: So how was it dropped..?
YAYOI: Did the killer throw it maybe..?
RYOKO: Why the hell would the killer do that?
MIRAI: I think this answer can't be solved through any of our evidence.
MIRAI: Instead, we have to rely on our common sense!
FURO: Alright, well, we can't trust you then, Mirai.
MIRAI: …I have common sense. *puffs up cheeks*
FURO: The reason why the ElectroID was dropped, huh?
KEIKO: I… have a faint idea.
KEIKO: It's on the tip of my tongue, too.
You are about to read an Epiphany Anagram. This is an interactive game with the readers: can you solve the word before Keiko? Letters will be filled in numerous blanks, and it is your job to figure out what the word is to advance the case. Over and out.

ATTACK!
KEIKO: This is it!
Soundtrack: Class Trial FUTURE PART
KEIKO: Hideki… he must have attacked first.
NOAH: He attacked first..?
NOAH: Does that mean that the killer had the ElectroID in his or her hand?
KEIKO: Yeah… that's the only explanation.
KEIKO: Either that, or the killer was backed up into the wall, and it fell out naturally.
Soundtrack: Class Trial ODD EDITION
YAYOI: I'll hack your idea to the brink!
(AN: pun intended.)
YAYOI: K-Keiko… no offense…
YAYOI: But your claim doesn't match up!
KEIKO: W-why not..?
KEIKO: What's wrong about it?
YAYOI: There's no reason for the killer to have held up the ElectroID!
YAYOI: And I doubt it fell out naturally.
KEIKO: W-wait a minute, if you doubt things…
YAYOI: I know I'm right! Why wouldn't I be?
KEIKO: I guess she does bring up a good point.
KEIKO: But I'm on the right track. I can feel it!
Oh? Yayoi interrupted Keiko? I've made this tutorial before, but my, my, weren't you surprised? I know I was. Psych. As Yayoi interrupted Keiko, it's time for a 1v1 battle of logic. Who will win, and who is right in the end? You can take sides yourself, but know only one is correct. Over and out.

(AN: love that line.)
Soundtrack: Class Trial FUTURE PART
KEIKO: There's an obvious reason why the killer had their ID out with them!
YAYOI: A-and what is it, huh?!
YAYOI: You hate me for this, HUH?!
KEIKO: …That is way off topic, and not true!
KEIKO: Look, Shougo told me that the lights were flickering on and off.
KEIKO: Does that ring any bells to you?
YAYOI: …
YAYOI: Are you saying…
YAYOI: The killer used their ID as a flashlight?!
MIRAI: Hmm, that makes sense.
MIRAI: The room probably was pitch dark. Not very effective if someone saw Hideki attempting murder in the bright open space.
KEIKO: The killer had to use their ID as a flashlight. Otherwise, there would be no way to see in the darkness.
KEIKO: The darkness also could explain why Hideki missed Shougo. He couldn't get a clear aim at all.
KEIKO: Then, as a result, Hideki saw the flash, and charged towards the killer.
MIRAI: We can only assume that the killer dodged, but dropped her ElectroID then.
NOAH: And then the SIM Card popped out, correct?
MONOKUMA: Yeah, I won't glorify it. The SIM Card cases for these things are real weak.
MONOKUMA: Only cause I spent so much time trying to make the IDs themselves really durable.
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, my bad!
NOAH: Well, that explains the mystery of the ElectroID.
NOAH: But there are two other things that are not completely cleared up yet.
NOAH: First off, the disappearance of the ElectroID…
NOAH: And the fact that none of the IDs matched up with that SIM Card.
KEIKO: There's one thing I find strange too.
KEIKO: Why were the flights flickering on and off?
NOAH: What do you mean?
KEIKO: The killer turned on the lights after the ID dropped. Sure, but…
KEIKO: What was the point of turning it off again?
HIKARU: You're right… it does seem rather erratic, doesn't it?
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, it sure does, but…
Soundtrack: Welcome to DANGAN Island!
MONOKUMA: We're going to have to call a recess here!
KEIKO: A…recess?
MONOKUMA: You know! It court trials, there's always like a five minute recess to gather your facts and charge up again!
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, you should be happy that I'm giving you this opportunity to relax and enjoy yourselves!
MONOKUMA: Nyahahaha!
MONOKUMA: Enjoy your recess guys!
MEOWYKINS: Meow! And for y'all at home, can you guess who the murderer is?
