Academy Of Murder

Chapter 8

Chiya's P.O.V

I arrived at the gym and saw Monokuma sitting on the stage and the other classmates, minus Demiyah and Miyu, waiting for us. Monokuma and my classmates looked at me as I walked towards them. Monokuma stood up and tapped with its feet on the floor while crossing its small arms.

"There you are, cry baby. Took you long enough!" It said with a hint of irritation in its voice.

"Huh? Where are Demiyah and Miyu?" Yogi asked as he looked around.

"They will be there soon." I said. "Demiyah is trying to get Miyu out of the room, but I don't think that Miyu is going to fresh herself up." I frowned as I remembered Miyu's condition when we found her. "Seeing her like this...I don't think that she will recover from this." I muttered sadly.

"I kinda understand that." Yuito muttered as he put his hands behind his head. "Seeing your best friend dead...it would literally bring the person in despair. Miyu is the proof of this."

The double doors behind us opened as we turned around and we saw Demiyah and Miyu walking inside. Miyu had her clothes on this time, but her hair and the blue ribbon still was a mess. Like she didn't take a shower or combed her hair.

"Sorry we were late. Miyu wanted to dress herself." She said as she walked towards us.

Suma walked towards her as she just stood there looking at the floor. "Miyu-chan, are you okay?" She asked in concern.

Miyu didn't look at her as she walked past her while bumping against her shoulder. "Let's get this over with." She muttered in anger as she walked towards us and looked at Monokuma with a cold glare.

"I agree! It was too damn long to wait for you guys!" It said as it jumped off the stage and landed in front of us. "Alright! Get in the elevator! It is time for the trial!"

After it said that, the elevator appeared again and everyone walked inside. The doors of the elevator closed and it went down. I felt the same feeling again before the first trial. Fear.

Looking at the evidence, everyone could be the killer. But the only evidence that could point out the culprit was the letter with the secret. I only could hope and pray that Nao has figured out the puzzle. He might be the only one that could save me and everyone else from the execution.

The elevator stopped and we heard a beep sound. We made it into the trial. The elevator doors opened again and we saw the court room. But this time, it looked different.

The walls were turquoise instead of red, the golden pillars and the throne were silver, there were silver curtains hanging on the walls, and the floor was crystal blue. Everything had a different color, except the floor on the middle and our wooden stands. There also stood two new tall stands right in front of the stands where Taro and Hitomi stood at the first trial. The two pictures of our recent deceased classmates were marked with the same red cross that Toshiro has on his picture.

Monokuma started to run, jumped and landed with its butt on his throne. "Well? What are you guys standing there? Take your place and let's start the trial, shall we?" It said with the golden mallet in its hands and the stand with the red button appearing in front of it.

Miyu started to walk towards her stand and she did nothing but stare at Hitomi's stand in front of her. Frowning sadly, I walked to my stand and rubbed her back. "Don't worry, Miyu-chan. We will solve this." I said in a gentle whisper. She looked at me with her dull dark blue eyes and nodded at me before looking at it again.

By the time I looked away from her, I noticed that everyone else were standing in front of their stands.

Monokuma smirked and held its mallet high in the air. "Second trial of despair...starts...NOW!" It yelled and slammed its mallet at the button. The elevator doors diappeared behind the wall and everything went silent.
