Extraordinary Minds: Road to Hell

Chapter 49: A Truly Hellish Trial

As everyone had been gathered at their podiums, the guards were now prepared more than ever and standing beside Monodevs throne. As Monodev could only be heard clapping.

"Goodness Gracious! The Final Class Trial, and I never thought we'd get here! It's shocking isn't it? After this Trial, there'll be nothing more to give you all then the exit and the despair waiting you all of who the Mastermind is! I've been so excited to make you all grovel! Now, let's begin this truly hellish and beautiful class trial, for Raidon Ishida!"

"So, where should we start?" Lily asked.

"I think for now, we begin with the time of death. We don't know when it was, and the current time is around 6:30 PM, correct?" Yumico asked.

"Oh yes, why that is correct!" Monodev cackled. "Very perceiving, Dear Mommy Milkers!"

"Stop calling me that, or my heel through your chest will be the last thing you remember." Yumico sternly spoke.

"Better yet, Lemme crush your fucking head between my thighs like the little bitch you are, MONOFUCKER!" Lily shouted.

"Well don't threaten me with a good time now, Thelma and Louise! Or was it Daphne and Velma?" Monodev cackled.

"Let's at least try to focus?" Mitsuko asked. "So, im sure were all aware of the fact the body discovery announcement only announced Riku and Kentaro, right?"

"Yeah, which that would mean me and Riku are innocent!" Kentaro spoke. "Which, we can also assume Kioka is innocent too. Given shes too short to kill someone. Though...She could easily kill me."

"But I could never!" Kioka said. "I...I don't like murder! Because its bad!"

"So this all said, Yumico was incapacitated in the Nurses Office." Akira spoke. "Leaving us with 3 suspects. Mitsuko, Maeko, and Lily.

"Now who's saying you couldn't have done it, Akira?" Riku asked, with a stern voice to him. "I mean, given you did try to kill Raidon once."

"Yes, and I know you guys are probably still trying to believe in me again especially after that..." Akira spoke. "I swear on my life though, I'm not the killer!"

"Something tells me Akiras not the killer this time around." Mitsuko said. "Given the fact it's..not just our promise, but consider the murder weapon."

"Maybe its best to move onto that for our discussion." Maeko spoke. "So, did we figure out what it was?"

"What about that knife at the crime scene?" Riku asked. "Maybe the killer stabbed him repeatedly?"

"Though, that wouldn't explain the ink we found splattered on his hand." Yumico said.

"Ink?" Kentaro asked.

"Yes. Ink." Yumico said. "Specifically, from a pen of some sort."

"And...Where the hell would-" Riku spoke before Yumico interrupted.

"If you'd let me finish...I believe the neck wound on Raidons neck, that hole? It must've been from the pen, given how deep it was. Either it's safe to say the Killer wanted Raidon dead for reasonable excuses...Or. He personally grabbed their hand and made them kill him."

"Do you think somehow he did that with his free hand?"'Kentaro asked. "Doesn't explain how he wrapped himself up or where he got the duct tape from."

"Knowing how investigative Raidon was." Mitsuko spoke. "He clearly had this planned out from the start but the main question is...What was his goals exactly?"

"Let's consider how Raidons mindset was, or at least...a clear enough representation of his goals. Clearly he wanted to get to the last floor to find answers, and that he did..However, what else would he be after? Akira, think you can answer this?" Maeko asked.
