CHAPTER 1: The Stars Above Us (part three)

Shoji, who kept to himself like a few others, finally spoke up. "I think I might know." He didn't say anything else to follow.

"Tell us, would ya! The suspense is killing me!" Monokuma interrupted him, causing the majority of everyone to share a look of frustration at the bear.

"Silence, bringer of darkness-" Tokoyami started, but Bakugou cut in.

"Shut up, you stupid stuffed bear! I'll kill you!" However, Monokuma just laughed at Bakugou's threat. "You don't scare me!"

The bear stood up from his chair. "How about you shut up, huh?! Focus on the trial, you exploding troublemaker!"

"What did you just call me?!" Bakugou angrily slammed his hands down on his podium.

"I can assume that Bakugou isn't popular at all with that kind of personality, kero," Tsuyu added, which caused Bakugou to yell at her.

"Cool it, you guys!" Denki spoke up. "Let's just focus on who killed what's-his-name, alright?"

Kirishima agreed with Denki. "Yeah! Guy with the mask, weren't you saying something earlier?" He glanced at Shoji. "Let's hear it, man."

Shoji nodded. "I went out for a walk, and overheard the floating clothes and the.. what's your name?"

"Me?" Ochako pointed at herself, frantically looking around. Shoji nodded again. "I'm Uraraka Ochako, Ultimate Astronaut, and the clothes-"

"Is me, Tooru Hagakure the Ultimate Illusionist!" Tooru announced proudly, then she started to yell at poor Shoji, who looked a bit freaked out by the illusionist. "And if you're trying to accuse me of something, then I didn't do anything! I'll have you know that I am a good person-"

"Do you ever fucking shut up? God, you're annoying, you extra," Bakugou practically stabbed Tooru with his words. "Get on with it. Did you kill the half and half bastard? If you're lying, I'll kill you."

"Stop it with the death threats!" Iida stopped the threats there, cutting the air with his hands. Ack! I forgot about Iida! "We need to conduct this class trial in an orderly manner. Tooru Hagakure, did you kill the.. Midoriya-san, what's his name?"

"Todoroki Shouto." I start fiddling with my hands after answering.

"Yes, thank you Midoriya-san. Allow me to say this again-"

Tooru huffed, or at least that's what it sounded like. It's hard to tell what someone is doing when they're invisible. "No, I will not let you say it again because I didn't kill him!"

"Erm, illusionist-san, your initials is T.H, right?" I speak up again, and hope my voice isn't quiet.

"Yeah, it is. Or it could be the other way around. Either way is fine," Tooru speaks cheerfully to me. "What about it?"

I glance at Iida, Ochako, and Kirishima, and they seem clueless at what I'm about to do next. "Illusionist-san, I.."

"Please hold on a moment," Momo interrupts me. "My apologies for speaking like this, but why are we focused on targeting Hagakure-san?"

"Because she's suspicious, isn't it obvious? Or are you too prim and fucking proper to realize that?" Bakugou grunts in an annoyed manner. "That mask guy even said it himself."

Shoji sighed. "I said I overheard both the illusionist and the astronaut speaking after everyone had already retired to their rooms."

"That doesn't prove anything, you know." Jirou crosses her arms. "For all we know, they could've just been talking about- Nevermind, sorry. I sound dumb. What were they talking about?"
