When they arrive on the next floor it's obvious that there's one long hallway with another one that goes left. Ren goes through the door on his left side. It seems to be a chemistry lab.
Yukiji and Kaida are already there.
"It's c-concering that th-there are so m-many chemicals." Yukiji says
"No one is going to use them." Kaida assures her.
"I'll take a picture of the bottles then we can see if chemicals disappeared, so we'll know when someone did use them." Ren suggests.
Yukiji nods "O-okay."
Kaida sighs "I sure hope it won't be necessary."
"Same here." Ren agrees with her.
He leaves the chemistry lab en continues following the hallway. On his right is a door than looks like it's from the classical antiquity.
Ren opens the door and is met with the lab of the Ultimate Archaeologist. There are a lot of fossiles, but also objects that belonged to humans who lived quite some time ago.
"Well, I guess we found your lab." He tells Tatsuya, who's looking at everything.
The green head nods with a smile on his face, he looks happy with, well, everything "Would you like me to explain what everything is?"
"Maybe later. I'm still exploring this floor, so I want to finish that first."
"I understand." Tatsuya adjusts his glasses. He looks extremely happy, it's a bit odd.
Ren looks around in the lab. While there are remains of weapons, but most are either rusty or broken, or both. Some things could be used to hit someone in the head, but if you look at it that way a chair is a weapon too.
He leaves the lab and enters the hallway on the left. From where he's standing he can already see three doors. The first door is halfway into the hallway and on his right. He tries to open it, but it won't budge.
"Is it locked~?" Aika asks out of nowhere.
Ren rolls his cyan eyes "Obviously."
The brunette giggles "How sad. I reeeally wanted to look inside!"
"Then break the door or something."
"No, no, no!" Monokuma huffs.
"Oh, it's you again." Ren deadpans
"Seriously, why do I have to keep adding rules so you guys won't ruin the game?!" The bear seems kinda mad.
"So what's behind this door could ruin the game?"
"Oooh, let's break the door!" Aika beams.
"We have minimal restrictions when exploring the building. Plus, the only things we aren't allowed to break are our Monopads." Ren points out.
"That's why I'm going to add a new rule!" Monokuma starts typing away "You're not allowed to open any locked doors on your own accord if you don't have a key, such a breaking the door or picking locks, with the exception of the dorms! You can only go through doors that have already been opened!"
'He didn't say anything about breaking the wall. I should find a hammer.' Ren thinks to himself before asking "Why are the dorms an exception?"
"Because then you can break in and kill each other of course!" Monokuma beams.
Aika tilts her head "You're really determined to make us play this game, huh?"
"Of course, it's fun!"
"Just go away." Ren crosses his arms.
"Mean..." Monokuma sulks before leaving.
"Sooo, what are you going to do about the door?" Aika asks with a child-like wonder.
"I'll figure something out." He responds before he continues.
There's another door on the left side. The moment he opens it he's almost blasted away by the loud music. Well, more like the noise Maeko creates by playing drums in an extremely loud way.
Ren covers his ears. The noise is incredibly loud.
Maeko is too focused on the instrument to notice him, but after a while she does. She rubs the back of her head with a sheepish grin "Sorry, I got lost in the music."
"That was music?" Ren questions.
The firebreather huffs "They may be a little loud, but drums are a very important instrument. It guides all the other instruments in a band."
"That doesn't change the fact that you play in a very loud way."
She shrugs "True." She starts messing with the drum sticks, throwing and then catching them. One lands on her head "Shit... That hurts like a bitch."
"Are you okay?" Ren asks while looking around. There's a piano, a shelf with a keyboard and other instruments. There are guitar stands with both electric and acoustic ones. Maeko has claimed one of the two drum sets in the room.
"Yeah, fine." She responds before throwing another drum stick in the air, this time she manages to catch it "I'm gonna continue, so maybe you should leave if you don't want your ears to hurt again."
Ren nods "Good idea." He leaves the music room and closes the door behind him 'The room is probably soundproof.'
The next door is on the left side of the hallway too. It has a hockey stick on it.
'Probably Kisaragi-kun's lab.' Ren thinks to himself. He knows he's right when he opens the door. The lab is mostly a large hockey field, though there are supplies on shelves at the opposite wall.
"Hello, Kimura-kun." Ichiro greets him, a hockey stick in his hand.
"Hey." Ren greets back "This is actually a pretty normal lab. Most of them are a bit over the top."
"Indeed. But I like it this way, it's really simple. All that extra stuff is unnecessary when playing power hockey."
"I see... Well, have fun playing, I guess."
"Thanks."
Ren leaves the lab and, despite knowing that there aren't any doors left, he continues walking. At the end of the hallway on the right there's another flight of stairs leading down, but, like with all previous stairs, there's still a shutter in front of it. He tries to look if he can see anything through it, but the stairs have been built so that's impossible to see anything on the next floor.
'It'll probably only open when we survive another Class Trial.' Sighing, Ren takes a step back 'We shouldn't let that happen. I'd rather keep the next floor another mystery, if that means not losing anyone else to this stupid game.'
Heturns around and walks back to his dorm room on the ground floor.
