We headed to the auditorium, prepared to start the class trial.

We stood around the stage, and then-

Monokuma: Puhuhuhuhu! Are you prepared for your first class trial?

Miyoshi: We are, and we're going to figure out the murderer. 

Monokuma: Good! Because if you don't, you'll have to face the consequences. Puhuhuhuhu!

Monokuma disappeared.

Alyssa: I could really use some weed right now...

Chloe: Now's not the time.

Suddenly we felt the ground shake, and then the stage began to fall apart. And from the bottom came up a big elevator and a path unfolded, leading us to it.

Randi: Woah...

Chloe: Do we enter the elevator? 

Ashlyn: I guess.

One by one, we walked along the path and into the elevator. I felt my hands shake, but I remained calm somehow. 

The elevator doors closed as soon as we were all inside, and I felt an uneasiness as it began to descend. With every metre it lowered, The louder the sounds of metal scraping against cement became. It was as if we were being lowered into the center of the earth. Why would a mall have this in it?

And then, the elevator stopped abruptly and the doors slid open slowly. We were greeted by a trial room.

Crysty, the ultimate zoo keeper, the one who said she would kill the Mastermind. The one we thought was the Mastermind. She was killed by one of us. And we will find them, because our lives depend on it, and also because we need to avenge our dead friend, who we treated so coldly on her last day alive, because of fear and distrust.

Monokuma: Welcome to the trial room puhuhuhuhu! Come on, get to your stations and stop wasting my time!

We each stood at one of the stands, and Monokuma sat on his throne at the back. We were ready to begin.

Monokuma: Now then, let's begin with a simple explanation of the Class Trial! During the Class Trial, you will present your arguments for who the killer is, and vote for whodunnit! If you vote correctly, only the Blackened will receive punishment! But if you pick the wrong person... I'll punish everyone besides the Blackened, and that person will earn the right to leave this mall!

Miyoshi: Alright, so what do we begin discussing first?

Ashton: Uhh could we maybe talk about the body and the murder weapon?

Sophie: That's a good idea. The Monokuma file states that she was stabbed by a sharp object, which upon close inspection, was a glass or mirror shard. This was the cause of death.

Chloe: And before she died, she was hit on the head with something. This probably stunned her.

Ashlyn: What do you think she was hit with?

Non-stop debate!

(Quick explanation! During non stop debate, people will say things that you can object to our consent to. If the word is bold, you can object, but if it's italic, you can only consent to it. The truth bullets are what you consent or object to.)

Truth bullets:

Magnet sensor

Bloody laptop

Broken mirror

Blood on floor

Randi: It had to be something hard, or else it wouldn't hurt her as much as it did.

Miyoshi: Maybe someone punched her.

Chloe: You have to be to make someone bleed that much in one punch...

Alyssa: Maybe she just got too high and died and there's no killer.

Yu Xuan: So how the hell did she die?

Randi: Do you think she ? - - - Blood on floor - - -

Ashlyn: No that's wrong! - - - COUNTER - - -

- - - BREAK - - -

Ashlyn: No, that's kind of impossible. Maybe you don't remember, but there was no blood in the room except for the puddle under Crysty. Her head wound was bleeding, so if she did hit her head on the wall, there would be blood on it. 

Kendric: So how did she hit her head?

I think I know how she hit her head, It's because she got hit by...

1. The mirror

2. The laptop 

3. The glass shard 

4. Her own fist

Ashlyn: That's it! - - - GOT IT - - - 

Ashlyn: She got hit in the head by the laptop! That's why it was bloody!

Chloe: Now that we know this, let's talk about something I've been thinking about.

Ashlyn: What is it?

Chloe: The magnet sensors on the mirror and the door. 

Yu Xuan: Is that what the round things were?

Chloe: Yea, they were taken from the shop itself. What did the killer need this for?

Sophie: Maybe the killer was the Mastermind.

Sumana: Why would the Mastermind want to know when the mirror is taken off? There's no point, we can't open the door anyway. 

Tan Liang: Maybe the Mastermind lost their card and wanted to make sure no one found it and opened the door? 

Miyoshi: The Mastermind wouldn't be this dumb. I'm sure that only they could've opened the door.

Rachel: So who placed the sensors?

If the Mastermind didn't place them, I can only think of one other person who did...

1. Sophie

2. Crysty ✓

3. Chloe

4. Randi

Ashlyn: That's it! - - - GOT IT - - -

Ashlyn: It was Crysty, she placed the sensors.

Chloe: Crysty?

Ashlyn: Crysty promised us she would kill the Mastermind, and since only the Mastermind can enter that secret room, it's only natural she would set up the sensor there. Plus that alarm thing we found in her hand must've been the alarm for the sensor!

Chloe: That makes sense... You're so smart.

Hannan: So now we know-

Annan: That the one who set the sensors was the Mastermind.

Hanako: So who's the killer?

Chloe: The killer has to be the Mastermind.

Ashlyn: What why?

Chloe: The Mastermind tried to enter the room, and Crysty's alarm went off. So Crysty must've tried to attack them since she promised she would kill the Mastermind. But the Mastermind pulled an Uno reverse and ended up killing Crysty instead.

Sophie: I agree. The killer is most definitely the Mastermind.

Ashton: No, the Mastermind isn't that stupid, I thought we've already established that. Crysty said that she would kill the Mastermind, they wouldn't just go around like that.

Yu Xuan: He's right, the killer isn't the Mastermind. 

Rachel: I still think it's the Mastermind.

Monokuma: Oh? What's this? Are you guys split down the middle? In that case, the Ultimate academy is proud to present its very own morphenomenal trial grounds!
