Tamao and Hoizumi ran into the other two, quite literally.

"Oh, we were just looking for you!" Tamao cheered.

Mayumi blinked, "Did you guys find anything?"

Tamao nodded rapidly, pulling out her Monopad and showing them the evidence they found.

Isamu pulled out his monopad and pressed the Truth Bullet button.

"Oh. I didn't notice that." He stated.

They exchanged the basics of what they found before deciding to head to the locations where the opposite pair had found evidence.

This meant that Tamao and Hoizumi were heading to the gym.

'Why did they even decide to check in the gym?' She wondered idly to herself.

The pair reached the gym and Tamao immediately saw what evidence they found.

There was a small spot of blood to the right of the door, hidden in the corner.

Truth Bullet Obtained!
Blood Stain

She walked over to the stain, observing the area around it.

There was a small note hidden underneath some equipment.

It probably landed there accidentally. If the culprit had seen it, they would've thrown it away.

Tamao picked it up.

She could just barely make out the words.

'Come to the gym at 9:30 or I will kill Hoizumi.'

The note was written using some letters from magazines.

'There were some magazines in the dining hall,' Tamao remembered.

So the note can't be used to narrow down the suspects.

Truth Bullet Obtained!
Small Note

Hoizumi looked over her shoulder, "What does it say?"

Tamao read the note to him.

He stared open mouthed at the letter.

"They used me as a way to lure Daiki here?" He whispered, in disbelief.

Tamao looked at him, worried and apologetic.

The monitor in the room turned on.

Monokuma was sitting at a desk, holding a glass of wine.

"The class trial will now begin. Please make your way to the gym. If you do not show up, you will be punished!"

The monitor turned off again.

The two glanced at each other.

Oh boy.

The rest of the class filed into the room.

Shiori and Tamao made a quick glance at each other, making eye contact, before both turned away.

Steam began to rise from a part of the floor.

Everyone screeched and rushed away from the spot.

The floor began rising. When it finished, it was revealed it was a secret elevator.

"The elevator will take you to the trial grounds!" Monokuma's voice came from the monitor.

Tamao stood next to Hoizumi and Shiori as they entered the elevator.

The doors shut and the elevator started to sink.

She took a deep breath.

What fresh new hell awaits us in the new area?

The elevator stopped moving and the doors squeaked open.

Everyone stepped out.

The room was circular with patterned walls and sixteen trial podiums in a circle.

At the front of the circle was a chair higher than the podiums with Monokuma sitting on it.

Each podium had a name engraved on the steps.

Tamao stepped onto the podium with her name.

Shiori was on her left and Hoizumi on her right.

She bit her lip, determined.

Let's go expose the blackened!

For Daiki!

And for Hoizumi...

Class Trial Begin!
