"Okay, it's time! It's time for the school-level trial!" Monokuma on the monitor seemed to be enjoying the current situation.
"Then let me tell you where to gather. On the central island there is a mountain with my lovely face carved on it. Friends, this is Principal Mountain!
Once you arrive, you can go to the subway through the elevator at the secret entrance... Phew, see you later."
Lin Xiao rushed to the so-called Principal Mountain. As expected, that mountain was engraved with portraits of black and white bears.
Everyone was there at this time, except for Kuzuryuu and Tanaka.
It feels a little strange, because Lin Xiao and the others have investigated the entire island from the beginning.
The mountain that didn't exist at first suddenly appeared.
Zuotian asked in confusion: "When did such a mountain appear?"
Kurosaki: "Sure enough, there must be support from some unknown organization here."
Hinata: "It seems that Kuzuryuu and Tanaka haven't arrived yet?"
Nanami: "What happened to Kuzuryuu and Tanaka-san?"
"...I'm here..." Tanaka suddenly appeared at some point and replied.
Then he was very proud: "So the protagonist will only appear when he wants to appear!"
It's rare that I don't call myself the king, but I'm still like a middle schooler.
"...It seems that only the Nine-Headed Dragon has not come." Sin Mu.
"Perhaps Kuzuryuu has escaped." Saionji shouted.
"That's weird, how could I let him escape!" Monokuma suddenly appeared... Of course, this is no longer a strange thing.
"Look, I brought this guy here."
Standing next to Monokuma was Kuzuryuu. After Yamamoto Fifteen died, he withdrew from everyone and ran directly into the room and never came out.
"You and me, please let me go!" Kuzuryuu shouted angrily.
Monokuma raised his left paw and threatened in a joking tone: "Hey, if you keep doing this, I'll eat you!"
"Hey! Kuzuryuu, what's going on with you recently?" Quan asked loudly.
"It's nothing...actually, I didn't do anything." Kuzuryuu said with a guilty conscience.
"We are all investigating seriously, but you stay in the room?" Quan asked accusingly.
"Tch...who cares about this nonsense?" Kuzuryuu said disdainfully.
"You...how could you say such irresponsible words!" Quan said angrily.
"Okay, stop arguing...the most important thing is that everyone can survive." Kurosaki said to smooth things over.
The two stopped arguing, and Monokuma laughed sinisterly, and then said: "So... everyone is here, let's go to the trial venue through the secret entrance?"
"Hey... I'll leave first then, come here quickly." Monokuma disappeared after that.
Then with the sound of rumbling and rumbling, the mountain with the face of the black and white bear carved on it was shaking.
Immediately afterwards, an elevator appeared from the mouth of the stone sculpture of the black and white bear, and the ground was paved in an instant.
"What...this is incredible..." Zuotian opened his mouth wide and said in shock.
"Let's go, this is the so-called secret entrance." Lin Xiao said.
Everyone nervously walked onto the elevator one after another, with Lin Xiao and Kurosaki walking at the back.
Kurosaki asked Lin Xiao loudly: "Can you deduce the murderer?"
Lin Xiao answered truthfully, after all, there are indeed several puzzles that cannot be explained clearly.
"After some investigation, I have some clues...but there are still some things I can't figure out clearly."
"Yes, that's it... I don't know what will happen to the school-level trial later..." Kurosakino was a little worried.
"Leave it to me, I will definitely do my best." Lin Xiao promised.
After entering, there is actually an elevator that rises and falls, and it is now descending.
Everyone was shaking a little because of nervousness.
Zuo Tian stumbled: "Um...there can't be a murderer among us..."
This sentence made everyone present solemn... Lin Xiao didn't know anything at this moment, so he could only respond in silence.
Kurosaki showed a smile, but it was obvious that the smile was very strong.
With these pale faces, he encouraged everyone: "Everyone will be fine...don't worry."
"Well... if this is a game, then it should be the most difficult one now. Nanami will also work hard to pass it." Nanami said blankly.
After a long time, the elevator finally stopped.
The elevator door opened, and Lin Xiao saw an open field in front of him.
Monokuma stood on a luxuriously decorated throne not far away and said to everyone casually: "Hello, welcome to the school-level trial court. How do you feel? What do you think? Are you very touched? This is a decision.
The place of your destiny!"
Lin Xiao ignored Monokuma and looked around. This was a closed venue with 20 positions marked with everyone's names.
But in the place of Yamamoto Fifteen, there was a black and white photo... Thinking of that conceited guy, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Tch! Stop joking! Lock us up in a place like this! How can we be moved!" Kuzuryuu said angrily, "Are you crazy! Don't bother me!"
"Pffffffff, you can complain as you wish, I'm used to it anyway." Monokuma said, not taking it seriously.
"Everyone, please take your seats according to your names. Next, we should start a discussion and debate about the murderer of Yamamoto-san, a high school magician."
Kurosaki said to everyone.
After everyone found their own positions, the so-called school-level trial almost began.
The atmosphere has become more tense, and because the investigation has not yet been completely confirmed, it is now more about inference and speculation.
During the investigation, everyone also acted separately. Lin Xiao acted together with Atorya, Komaeda, and Hinata, and the others also conducted their own investigations.
Especially Hoshino Akira, he was very angry and sad about his death, and vowed to find the murderer.
Due to time constraints, the two parties did not exchange information, so they would slowly exchange information during the subsequent school-level trial.
"Okay, everyone is ready, so before we start, for the last time, you will decide who is the murderer, and then vote. If the person with the most votes is the real murderer, he will be executed. If he is not the real murderer, he will be sentenced to death.
If it's murderous...except for the real culprit, everyone else will be executed...If you don't want to die like this, just find the culprit...Pfft..." Monokuma said clearly.
"Wait a minute, before we start, I want to ask, is the murderer really among us?" Komaeda asked Monokuma.
Monokuma paused and said: "The school-level trial is absolutely fair and just, more than 100% fair! There is no doubt that the murderer is among you."
Hearing this, everyone looked ugly, and Lin Xiao also felt sad.
In order to survive or leave this island, would you rather kill someone? Why on earth would you do this...
"Then, the school-level trial begins now!" Monokuma announced.
