Ch. 4-The First Class Trial

"What do you mean the real fun begins?" Naegi asked.

Monokuma chuckle again and again.

"Killing a student alone isn't enough for freedom." Monokuma said.

"Explain," Kyoko asked.

"If someone is killed by another student by any means, within an hour a class trial will be held." The bear explained.

"You never said anything about a class trial." Mondo said with large frown.

"Of course, if I told you sooner. Did you think the murderer would have done it with a clear mind? HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Mondo growls at the evil toy bear.

"Now, now, now. The trials will begin soon. You all have one hour to discover any clues on how, when, and who killed (Y/N) (L/N), now just for fun. Your first clue is discover (Y/N)'s title and who possible could have killed him and why? Now then wish you all good luck, your gonna need it. UP-UP-UP-UP-UP, YA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Monokuma walked out of the room, leaving everyone either anger with rage or deep sorrow or confusion. Though they barely knew him, all share the idea of discovering who done him in.

"I'm curious." Byakuya spoke while staring at (Y/N)'s corpse.

"How the hell does a corpse makes you curious?" Mondo asked with a bored stare.

"Look at him and you'll see. But look carefully." Byakuya pointed.

"Huh?" Mondo and the others looked at (Y/N)'s corpse but nothing odd was noticed.
Kyoko knee down to the corpse and lift his face upward to get a better look.

"Is he...smiling?" Naegi asked.
Indeed he was, though he was a corpse now the young man was smiling.

"Why the hell he's smiling?" Leon asked.

"Could be that he knew his attacker." Kyoko guessed.

"Hmm let's see what else we can find."

"His coat and shoes are missing." Naegi noticed.

"Yes, but the question is why?" Celestia looked around the room.

"Don't you guys find it strange?" Leon said.

"What about what?" Ashina asked Leon.

"Look at his head wound and look at the bat. Shouldn't there be more...blood?" Leon said with rising brow.

There was a small splash of blood on top of (Y/N)'s head but the blood spot wasn't large area it was big not large to equal the weapon that was cover with his blood.

"Good job Leon, that's another clue." Kyoko nodded as Leon smirked.

"Junko," Kyoko spoke her name.

"Yes?" Junko turned her attention to Kyoko.

"(Y/N)'s body is still slightly warm. He must have died a few minutes ago at best. How did you discover him?"

All eyes turn towards the pink haired teenager.

"I was on my way to my room. I saw (Y/N)'s door was open, so I went to see if he was still piss. And I found him like this..."Junko frown while staring at the young man's corpse.

"The question is, is your word truthfully or not." Byakuya said.

"What the hell that supposed to mean." She glared.

"Hey guys! I found (Y/N)'s coat!" Yasuhiro spoke

"Where did you find it?" Naegi asked.

"Oddly enough it was in the shower room. Like (Y/N) said he doesn't have a bathroom, go look for yourself." Yasuhiro jerk his head to that direction. Kyoko, Naegi, Yasuhiro and Junko enter the shower room to discover where Yasuhiro found (Y/N)'s coat. The coat was on a hanger but it was completely soak and wet.

"It's wet I wonder why?" Naegi wonder.

"Hmm, what's this?" Kyoko felt something in the right coat pocket. She reached inside and pulled it out. It was two things one was a picture and second one was a small handbook.

The four looked at the picture first.

The first gasp was Junko.

"What's wrong?" Naegi asked.

"It's nothing, I've seen that girl somewhere before."

"Which one?" Yasuhiro asked.

"The blonde one."

"She's really pretty." Naegi smiled for a moment.

"Yeah..." Junko couldn't help but look sad, which made Kyoko very curious on Junko's sudden behavior.

"Look what's on the back." Yasuhiro said.
Kyoko turned the picture over to see written letter on the back. In the picture was, (Y/N) who had a giant grin on his face he never looked so happy. Beside him was a blonde female who had teal green eyes, beside the two was a short black hair blue eyes girl who out of the two was frowning rather than smiling.

(Y/N)'s Happiest? (Y/N) and

"Odd." Kyoko spoke.

"What's odd?" Naegi asked.

"The name of two other people seem to be whited out, as well as his last name." Kyoko shows them.

"Wonder why it's like that, also who is she?" Naegi wonder.

"She looks like a student, maybe from another school?" Yasuhiro asked.

"There's something else here." Kyoko felt something else within (Y/N)'s coat.

She pulled out what appears to be small handbook or dairy. It was black colored with white colored lines that went across the book. Opening the book to the first page another picture felt out. Naegi picked the picture up off the wet floor, what this could be was going through his mind.

There in the picture was (Y/N) with the same black haired girl as before but this time, (Y/N) was holding an odd looking stuff toy underneath his right arm. Also in the picture this time in the picture it was (Y/N) who was frowning and the young girl was smiling.

"Wonder who that girl is? That's the second time we seen her. (Y/N) seem to know her." Naegi wondered.

"Maybe that's his girlfriend or friend or something?" Yasuhiro guessed.

"Could be but I'm interest in what this book will explain." Kyoko said.
Junko looked so sad by the seconds, Naegi notice and spoke.

"Junko what's wrong? You really seem down."

"Huh?" she said.

"You ok?" Naegi asked.

"I'm ok Makoto...just." She pause "Do you guys hate (Y/N)?"

"Hate?" Naegi looked confuse.

"I mean for the passed few days, he has done nothing but piss most of you off. I wonder if he drove one of you to that point?" Junko said with large frown.

Kyoko stared at Junko for a moment before looking back at the first picture, before looking back at her.

"To answer your question, I don't believe anyone truly hated (Y/N) to the point of ending his life. But still, we have to find out who did it and why." Kyoko told Junko.

"Yeah I know." She nodded.

"I agree with Kyoko, she's right. After all (Y/N)...he would've done the same for us."

"Makoto's right. I mean he wasn't that bad, he was a funny guy really." Yasuhiro said with a big smile.

Kyoko turn her attention to (Y/N)'s journal, she read on in the first page about (Y/N)'s life.

My name is (Y/N), that's what the people here wanted me to say again and again over the tape recorder. My life...was a real fucking mess. Mainly because I can't remember anything back before I was 10 years old. I had no family to go to, none to remember, no friends I could recall, no one. But that was before I met them, my new family.

"He's an orphan?" Yasuhiro asked.

"Maybe, so far there's a hint of death in his family and maybe he ran away or was taken from his family and put into this foster person's care. But there's no mention of that." Kyoko guessed from her reading thus far.

"Poor (Y/N)," Naegi frown.

Kyoko read on.

After I met her, my big sister. My life got better. I'm trying to use the term, 'Big Sister' in the lightest way possible because she's not really my sister by blood. I was adopted into her family. They seemed happy to take me in. But they weren't around much so my sister would take care of me. Chisa Yukizome, she was like no other mom. I thought she would be great at it, so I suggested her to get married and have a kid. Of course I was joking, she was still a student, but she took it too seriously and whenever we have the same talk, she would always get embarrassed and flustered. It was pretty adorable. Without her, my life would've ended 5 years ago when I lost my family. Or maybe they lost me? I don't know and I don't care. I'm happy where I am now. I'm in the most prestigious school in the world, I'm in the best class in history, and I'm reconnecting with my father and found my little sister, my life now, I feel it's pretty good.

"Odd, the name of his father, little sister and his classmate's aren't mentioned." Kyoko looked confuse for a moment.

"How is that odd?" Celestia asked.

"From his entries, he made it sound as if they were his whole life. Apparently, his life at his school had a massive positive impact on his life. Something like that would have to have been mentioned by with people or something. Huh?" Kyoko looked upset in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Junko asked.

"The rest of the pages are missing...no. Someone ripped them out." She said.

"I wonder if the killer did this?" Naegi guessed it.

"How about we go on and see if we can find any other clues?" Yasuhiro asked the group, the three gave a big nod before leaving the shower room. Once they left the shower room, they notice everyone else had left the room.

"Where's everyone going?" Yasuhiro wondered.

"Could be they went to see what else clues they may or may not discover. (Y/N) was by himself
for some time before Junko found him." Kyoko said.

"Ah yes, good point. Well I'm off to find my own clues see ya." Yasuhiro said with a friendly smile.

"Naegi," Kyoko said.

"Huh, yeah?" He asked.

"Who do you believe was the last person to see (Y/N) alive?" She asked him with a deep stare.

"Actually...me and Sayaka last saw him alive." He said with a returning stare.

"I see," Kyoko nodded.

"And we didn't-"

"I didn't say or believe you or Sayaka could possibly be the ones." She quickly responds.

"Um ok then." He sweatdrop.

"I'll stay here to see if I can find any other clues. You may go and see what the others may found?"
Naegi and Junko stare at Kyoko for a moment.

"If you believe I will dispose of any clues. You are wrong."

"I'm not leaving." Junko said.

"Very well, Junko and I will stay, Naegi will leave."
Believing the girls has the area under their control, Naegi left to see what the others were up too
and what they have found.

About an hour had passed...

Monokuma called everyone to the first floor to meet at a certain location. The location was at large double red doors and once everyone was called, the double large red doors open showing it was a large elevator. Once everyone stepped on board the elevator doors closed setting them down to the lower floors. Naegi notice how everyone had a deep look of either sadness or confusion on their faces. But of course everyone was eyeing each other as well. Once the elevator stopped at the bottom floor, the metal doors open.

"Huh," Naegi was the first to speak.

"What is this?" Leon asked.

"It looks like a court room?" Sayaka said.
Everyone looked to see within there was a large circle stand that had each of their names plated on. Everyone walked over to where their names. And Soon Monokuma arrived sitting in a large comfy chair behind Naegi and Celestia.

"Hey bear what this all about?" Mondo asked Monokuma.

"Upupup, now that all of you are here. Let me explain why you are. (Y/N) (L/N) has been murdered, but by whom? Your job is to find who did it and how and why. If you find out who did it then I will dispose of the murderer but if you don't, the murderer will go free and all of you will be disposed of instant." Monokuma explain while chuckling.

"What do you mean by d-d-dispose?" Yasuhiro asked with a nervous voice.

"Kill, rid of, dispose, execution!" Monokuma answered.

Everyone face was sudden drown in fear, worry in an instant.

"Finding his killer will allow you live another day." The bear chuckled.

"Now let the Class Trial Begin!"

"Shall we begin on the subject's death?" Byakuya said.

"Subject? Dude this is a person we're talking about." Mondo said with a pissed stare.

"Yes indeed, but he is no longer living, I named "him" as the subject or if you rather have him being the prey or victim?" He asked.

"Tsk, whatever." Mondo said.

"Now who wishes to go first?" Byakuya asked.

"Can we talk about the murder weapon first?" Celestia asked.

"If you must," Byakuya waited.

"We found a large metal baseball bat cover with (Y/N)'s blood." Celestia and everyone remember.
Byakuya, Celestia, Kyoko, Ashina looked at Leon.

"Leon," Byakuya started.

"And before any of you can even think of putting this on me, I don't have a baseball bat in my room!" Leon quickly defended himself.

"Hmm, is that so? Do you have proof?" He asked Leon.

"It's true." Sakura spoke.

"Explain." Byakuya asked.

"Some time after we left (Y/N)'s room. Kiyotaka enter Leon's room the moment he saw the baseball bat. I so happen to overhear the two talking and quickly stop them from fighting one another." Sakura explained.

"Plus the impact of the weapon doesn't fit the crime." Kyoko spoke.

"Huh, what ya mean?" Mondo asked.

"Wouldn't a baseball bat make a bigger mess?" She asked everyone.

"She does prove a point. There would been a lot more blood." Celestia said.

"What if, the killer clean up only half of the mess?" Sayaka asked everyone.

"Possible...then again we didn't find any clues of anyone cleaning up the mess." Kyoko closed her eyes to think for a moment.

"I like to ask who were the last ones to see (Y/N) (L/N) alive?" Byakuya's question was.

There was a long heavy pause within the room.

"I know who were." Sayaka said with a sadden frown.

Everyone waited for Sayaka to give them an answer.

"Makoto and I, believe we were the ones to see (Y/N) alive."

"Is that so?" Byakuya said with a curious look in his eyes.

"It's true." Naegi said.

"Explain." The four-eyed blonde asked.

"Sayaka went to say she's sorry to (Y/N). We have gotten to chat with him only for a little while. We left soon after, but (Y/N) WAS alive when we left." Naegi defend himself and Sayaka.

"Could be hard to believe Makoto's lying to us." Byakuya said.

"Makoto is the one of the most honest out of us fifteen and he's also the closest to knowing (Y/N) more." Kiyotaka said with a nod.

"Still, Makoto and Sayaka were the last ones to see (Y/N) alive." Leon said with unsure look on his face.

"Before we start judging, lets look at any other clues that may help us." Naegi spoke, everyone agreed quickly.

"Ok so the metal bat wasn't the murder weapon then? What else would do damage like that?" Mondo asked.

"How about something small but does have enough power to strike a death blow?" Yasuhiro spoke up.

"Yes that is something to think about. But the question is, what?" Celestia spoke.

Suddenly it struck Naegi's mind.

"How about a hammer? Wasn't everyone given a different set of tools in their rooms?" He asked everyone.

"Upupupup indeed, everyone was given a special set of tools in your bedroom. The males were given a tool set and the females were given a different set." Monokuma spoke.

"What were you given?" Kiyotaka asked the females of the group.

"A knitting set." Celestia answered.

"Really?" Mondo raise a brow.

"Sharp enough to poke an eye out though." Ashina told the males of the group.

"Ok let make it official that the murder was a small hammer. Did any male of the group have their hammer's missing?" Naegi asked.

"I didn't even use mine." Mondo said.

"Same." Leon spoke.

"I didn't even know we had those." Yasuhiro said, as Hifumi nodded along with Yasuhiro.

"I wouldn't use such a weapon that would cause a mess." Byakuya said.

"I refuse to take the life of another!" Kiyotaka spoke proudly.

"What about (Y/N)'s hammer?" Celestia asked.

"Of course, we didn't even bother to check." Naegi sighed.

"I did," Kyoko spoke.

"Huh," everyone but Junko and Kyoko said.

"I checked (Y/N)'s room from head to toe. I found that the hammer was, indeed missing. I am unsure if the murderer disposed of the weapon or has hidden it somewhere." She explained.

"Anything else you've found?" Kiyotaka asked.

"Yes, (Y/N)'s journal and a picture." Kyoko took both items out from her jacket.

"Hey, I remember seeing that." Yasuhiro spoke.

"How come some of the pages are torn? This picture may give us some clue but I doubt it, since the person within this picture isn't here." Kyoko looked at Junko just for a second before giving everyone her full attention.

Kyoko passed the picture around to everyone as everyone got a good look at the picture.

"Guessing the blonde is his friend and other chick might be a girlfriend or something." Mondo guessed.

"I can't shake the feeling I've seen this girl before." Kiyotaka spoke.

"Really?" Naegi asked.

"Yes, as a student. I remember all faces that I've encounter. And this face is very familiar." He nodded.

"How can a picture help us? This is now, not something from a corpse's past." Toko spoke.

"Hey that corpse has a name ya know!" Asahina said with an angry stare.

"Why are you angry? Not like anyone of you knew him that long." Toko said with a big frown.

"Um well..." Asahina pause.

"Asahina, you can tell them." Sakura spoke with a calm voice.

"Well, while searching for clues. Sakura and I found (Y/N)'s shoes. But we found something strange." Asahina frown.

"Strange? How?" Naegi asked.

"We found a torn page. I think it's a part of (Y/N)'s dairy. The page talks about (Y/N)'s days in the Hospital. It seems (Y/N) was very ill at a young age and his sister, Chisa visited him a lot." She told everyone.

"How interesting, also, speaking of, (Y/N) never did tell us what his title was." Byakuya said.

"NO YOU'RE WRONG!" Naegi shouted at Byakuya.

"What?"

"Did you forget? He did tell us his title. He said it..." Naegi fell silent.

"Well spit it out." Byakuya demanded.

"He said that his title was...the Ultimate Weapon."

Naegi's comment caused everyone to look down upset, besides Celestia and Byakuya of course.

"Upupupup, that's a little bonus. But no, he also has another title. Before enrolling at Hope's Peak, TWO titles were pending for Mr. (L/N). If you find out what his other title is, this will make the trial end quickly." Monokuma laughed.

"Another title? Is that even possible?" Sayaka asked.

"What ya mean, end quickly?" Mondo asked.

"(Y/N) was "Killed" by one of you students yes. But do you know why, how and whom?" Monokuma said.

"That why we're doing this fucking trial ya damn bear!" Mondo shouted.

"Before we keep going, I want to know if any found any other torn pages of (Y/N)'s dairy?" Kyoko asked.

Everyone looked at one another with looks of unsure within them.

"I did," Junko spoke.

"You did?" Naegi asked.

"Yea." She nodded.

"Why didn't say so in the beginning of this?" Kiyotaka asked.

"You never asked. And besides, this page is "special"." Junko spoke with a darker tone of voice. Which caused everyone to feel on edge from what she said.

"It talks about (Y/N) more but also what his title is and how he got it." Junko started to frown as she spoke on.

"Then tell us!" Byakuya ordered.

"No," She said.

"No?" Byakuya said with an angry stare.

"You won't tell us or you can't tell us?" Kyoko asked Junko.

"It's bit of both, I don't want to destroy (Y/N)'s image or respect." She again frown once more.

"Destroy (Y/N)'s image and respect? What the hell are you talking about?" Mondo asked with confuse look.

Then it hit Naegi.

"Junko...did you know (Y/N)?" He asked the pink haired beauty.

Everyone waited for her answer while giving her long stares. But soon after noticing their heavy stare, she let out a deep sigh before she spoke.

"I knew (Y/N)." She started "No...I know (Y/N)."

"Seriously?" Mondo asked "For how long?"

"About 13 years or so, give or take." Junko told them.

Naegi remembered (Y/N) spoke of having a girlfriend but yet he couldn't remember her name or what she looks like. Before Naegi even had a chance to speak up, Monokuma cut him off.

"Now, now, now Junko, what you're doing is dirty. You held back such important information from everyone." Monokuma laughed.

"I knew (Y/N) for a long time. He and I grew up together. But few years after we met, I had to leave to start my modeling career. I'm not sure what happen but the very next day, news reporter was in front of his house, a murder happened." Junko spoke in a very calm tone.

"A murder?" Yasuhiro asked.

"It seems (Y/N) and Chisa's home was broken into while they were still there. He attempted to kill them both, but by the time the cops arrived, the burglar was found dead. He was shot multiple times. Once in the leg, once in chest, once in the shoulder, and twice in the head." All the students were shocked with horror.

"That's all I know. Few days ago it was the first in years I've seen my old friend. But he looked at me and acted as if we never met before. He may forgotten me, but I hadn't." Junko grew a small smile before frowning as she remembers the reason they were here.

"Junko must been tough for you to be the one to discover his corpse." Naegi said with a look of pity in his eyes "Junko are you...(Y/N)'s girlfriend? (Y/N) told us before he was killed."

"Girlfriend?!" Everyone but Naegi and Sayaka had look of shock on their faces.

"W-well, I...um..." Everyone looked at the embarrassed and fidgeting Junko silently. "M-Maybe."

Junko's cheerfully said as she covered her face trying to hide her blush.

"Oh my god, Junko, if that's the case, then...then...Im so sorry for your loss." Naegi said with sorrow in his voice.

Junko's expression turned from embarassed to sorrow at the thought of (Y/N)'s passing.

"Hey Makoto, would ya mind sharing what you and Sayaka learn. Hate being left in the fucking dark here!" Mondo said with an angry expression.

"(Y/N) told us, he has a girlfriend. But the odd thing is, he doesn't remember her name or what she looks like. He does recall she nearly successfully ended his life at least two times."

"What the hell?!" Mondo looked shock.

"That's crazy!" Yasuhiro said.

"H-How can (Y/N) be with someone who try kill him not once but two times?!" Asahina couldn't believe (Y/N) would love someone like that.

"Even I found that crazy, but that's what he told us." Naegi scratch the back of his head.

"Wait then that means, Junko must be the killer!" Hifumi gasp.

But yet Junko looked at them, wiping away her tears while everyone else was giving her stare of fear, anger and confusion.

"I *sniff* I didn't kill him." Junko sighed.

"But you were dating him."

"And?! I was dating him, but what reason would I kill him for?" She asked everyone.

Soon everyone returned to silence.

"Man this trial is hard." Yasuhiro sigh as he facepalm.

"To understand better we need to learn of (Y/N)'s past. As Monokuma said." Kyoko said "Junko would you please tell us what the other torn pages say?"

But before she even say anything there was suddenly a loud crash was heard nearby. This caught everyone's even Monokuma's attention. The doors bust wide open, everyone gasps with shock widen eyes for what they lay their eyes upon. Standing before them with blood dripping down his bleeding head wound, was none other than (Y/N)!

"N-No way. Y-You gotta be fucking kidding me." Mondo's jaw drop.

"How in the hell are you still alive?" Leon said with Godsmack jaw drop.

"He-hey-hey guys...did...I miss the show?" The barely conscious young man spoke.

(Y/N) brush his left shoulder against wall as he struggle to stand on his own two feet.
He hold his right hand against where his head wound was. Looking at his own blood he couldn't help but chuckle.

"L-l-look at that, I got little red on me..." He soon fell to his knees.

Junko, Naegi, Sayaka and Mondo rush over to him before he completed his fall.

"(Y/N), hey (Y/N) hang on." Naegi told him.

"Oh...Makoto. My head hurts...a lot...I think I got a headache..." He chuckle again.

"You got more than just that." Mondo told him.

"Ah, maybe I need to close my eyes..."

"(Y/N) keep your eyes open. Come on let's get him out of here."

"Does anyone have first aid or know where we can find some?"

Monokuma stared at the group that covered (Y/N) but the evil toy bear focus was mainly on the .
Suddenly everyone heard the sound of something being dropped. Naegi looked to see a first-aid box was on the floor, by whom he wasn't sure.

"Trial has been dismissed due to (Y/N) (L/N) having surviving his murder. Now all of you get out of here before I get pissed!" Monokuma walked off angrily.

"What's up with him?" Mondo wonder.

Monokuma hopped off the large chair and walked off but not before giving one last deep look at the wounded young man.

'Still giving out Hope even in your despair...soon very soon don't worry (Y/N) you and everyone shall feel Ultimate Despair once more.'

"Ok does anyone have medic skills?" Yasuhiro asked as he, Naegi and Mondo wasn't sure how to patch up (Y/N)'s wound and stop the bleeding.

"Scootch." Junko spoke, she grabbed the first-aid kit and opened it. And soon she went to work while everyone just stood and watched. Some were impressed by Junko's skills performing such wonderful skills medical work for someone who's the Ultimate Fashionista.
A little too well...
