[i][u]Secret DUST Base - Research Area[/u][/i] **The Law of Shura Plays again** No matter what Hinata did, she couldn't free herself from Ametatsu's Psychic Aura. She kept being smashed into the ground as if she was a toy. [img]https://i.imgur.com/iOSGt5B.png[/img] Ametatsu: You're a resilient one...I'll give you that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vFP7w7b.png[/img] Hinata: Save the compliments for after I've incinerated you. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7V12HAp.png[/img] Ametatsu: Still saying that even in a situation like this...do you seriously believe that you can still win? [img]https://i.imgur.com/2MiQvvc.png[/img] Hinata: I won't admit defeat until you paid for what you've done to Yusagi. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WzQpQRL.png[/img] Ametatsu: Yusagi? Oh, you mean Yusagi Getsuki? [img]https://i.imgur.com/FjwgtOh.png[/img] Hinata: That's right...She died because of your group. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VUHmC8H.png[/img] Ametatsu: She died huh? If I remember correctly...She managed to defeat our unit by using that prototype glaive that was stolen from us. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rKFHu1s.png[/img] Hinata: (She used that glaive she had?) [img]https://i.imgur.com/7V12HAp.png[/img] Ametatsu: However, the way she fought...wasn't something that she could've earned from the glaive. She had strenght and speed beyond what they could handle. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vFP7w7b.png[/img] Hinata: (What is he talking about.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/VRuGM7R.png[/img] Ametatsu: We've lost the glaive signal some hours after that, so we assumed that someone retrieved the glaive before someone found her body and managed to alter its signal. Anyway, where I was? Oh right... Hinata was slammed into the wall, but she didn't even mind the pain. Right now, she was perplexed with what she had just heard. [img]https://i.imgur.com/uJUviff.png[/img] Hinata: (I only knew that the DUST Organization had killed her after I read a report...But to think she actually fought them...But...does this really matter? She's still dead...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/iOSGt5B.png[/img] Ametatsu: Spacing out huh? Maybe you're finally passing out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/735gLle.png[/img] Hinata: Hardly. Thanks for bringing me back to reality though. May I have another? [img]https://i.imgur.com/VRuGM7R.png[/img] Ametatsu: Tch... [img]https://i.imgur.com/2MiQvvc.png[/img] Hinata: We Chi Masters have surpassed the limits of common people through enduring a unreal and harsh trainning. Something like this is nothing. Your mind might be strong, but not strong enough to break me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/iOSGt5B.png[/img] Ametatsu: At the same time, you can't free yourself from my power. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rKFHu1s.png[/img] Hinata: That's a problem indeed...Hey Kenneth, are you done there? [img]https://i.imgur.com/QYuBzmE.png[/img] Kenneth: Almost. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7V12HAp.png[/img] Ametatsu: In that case, let me help end this quicker. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OnqGYnw.png[/img] Kenneth: !!! Kenneth dodged Ametatsu's incoming attack, which invovled using Hinata's head as a hammer. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6yq4AsN.png[/img] Hinata: Argh!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/vFRoAy7.png[/img] Kenneth: Miss Shuusuke, how did you get yourself into such a bind? [img]https://i.imgur.com/FjwgtOh.png[/img] Hinata: Something I didn't see coming...That's all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/azQZj1L.png[/img] Gillia: Took you long enough. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7C1SAju.png[/img] Ametatsu: Apologies...I just realized this woman is better off being used as a literal weapon. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jKZFBka.png[/img] Kenneth: (Tch...Do I have to use even more power?) Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa4QR9oTk3Y]Long Battle (Universal)[/url] Suddenly, a huge tornado appeared from one of the door. Saika entered the room, dragging a unconcious glaive soldier. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YqwsmQT.png[/img] Gillia: What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Mhb8xS6.png[/img] Kenneth: She sure knows how to enter like a storm. [img]https://i.imgur.com/735gLle.png[/img] Hinata: Miss Saika! [img]https://i.imgur.com/QezYvb8.png[/img] Saika: My sincere apologies for not coming sooner...These people surely are stronger than common soldiers. Must be all the knowledge they get from these devices. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WzQpQRL.png[/img] Ametatsu: Ancestor Mage... [img]https://i.imgur.com/DJnS6rb.png[/img] Saika: Let go of her right now. I can partially see your aura so you won't be able to use the same trick on me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VUHmC8H.png[/img] Ametatsu: Like hell I will! Then, more glaive soldiers appeared from other doors and started attacking Saika. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7C1SAju.png[/img] Ametatsu: Even though you're an Ancestor Mage, you won't be able to handle all of them in time to save your friends. Saika: Guess you don't really know who you're dealing with...I really expected more from the people who seem to know how to deal with us. Saika leaped in the air, almost as if she was flying. Suddenly, green energy wings sprouted from her back while she charged magic power in her hands. Some of the soldiers opened fire, but the bullets would be blown always by force Saika's spell. [img]https://i.imgur.com/F85B0rU.png[/img] Saika: [url=https://youtu.be/3CDiFaSveZ8?t=218]Raging Winds, blast everything awaaaaaaaaay!!!![/url] The resulting storm blown many soldiers away while breaking many of the tubes. Gillia had to hold on Ametatsu to not lose balance. Once the storm was over, Kenneth took this as an opportunity for an attack, kicking Gillia in the back, making her fall together with Ametatsu. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7C1SAju.png[/img] Ametatsu: Oh no! [img]https://i.imgur.com/vFP7w7b.png[/img] Hinata: Chance!!! Seeing the grip on her got loose, Hinata freed herself from his graps and ran towards Saika. [img]https://i.imgur.com/P5ISF4B.png[/img] Hinata: You're just on time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/mZdC3Oz.png[/img] Saika: Your face is a mess. [img]https://i.imgur.com/735gLle.png[/img] Hinata: And you're sweating a bit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Mhb8xS6.png[/img] Kenneth: Guess you've been doing quite a bit of effort as well. [img]https://i.imgur.com/DeVvvBp.png[/img] Saika: More or less. Some of the soldiers who weren't unconcious got back up. Ametatsu and Gillia were ready for another round. [img]https://i.imgur.com/uizlDqj.png[/img] Saika: I'll handle the Psychic User. [img]https://i.imgur.com/P5ISF4B.png[/img] Hinata: Please do...It's annoying enough dealing with something you can't see. Be careful though, I couldn't seem to break off of it no matter what I did. [img]https://i.imgur.com/FFOIaw4.png[/img] Saika: (So he might use that aura for defensive purposes.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/vzhhvIf.png[/img] Kenneth: That leaves us to deal with the riff raff then... [img]https://i.imgur.com/FjwgtOh.png[/img] Hinata: Right...Don't show any mercy, or we'll all get captured. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VRuGM7R.png[/img] Ametatsu: Get them before their reinforcements arrive. [hider=Eyes that glared at the unknown] [img]http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj527/TheFael/Characters%20Faces/Drake%207.fw_zpswgwoasuk.png[/img] Drake: I wonder if someone will really come... [img]https://i.imgur.com/dFjyre5.png[/img] Zeena: They have to...or else we won't know what really happened... [img]https://i.imgur.com/SauHwyU.png[/img] Hyde: Someone must have seen it. I know there's some bored students that likes to watch the window instead of the teacher. [img]https://i.imgur.com/A2PYgNe.png[/img] Nicholas: What if the culprit used that teleporter to run away? [img]https://i.imgur.com/mOBgfpn.png[/img] Barry: Not possible. We've requested that room to be heavily guarded. [img]https://i.imgur.com/CXzIsTf.png[/img] Italo: But didn't the crime happen before the victim passed away at 12AM? Assuming the culprit knew about the cameras, he had plenty of time to do that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/mkUP2PN.png[/img] Renath: There hasn't been reports of anyone missing. The police is making sure to check if everyone is here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sbkiinC.png[/img] Mina: Meaning that the true culprit must have took the time to dispose of evidence somewhere else. [img]https://i.imgur.com/xDlggFV.png[/img] Hiagor: And still no news of this disposed evidence. Then, the door opened. It was Johnson once more, this time, being accompanied by a student. [img]https://i.imgur.com/H4QGFRN.png[/img] Nadia: Wow! We really got someone. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] ???: Well...there's a lot of people here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pJFVQDv.png[/img] Elora: Oh...You're... [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] ???: Hey Elora. Didn't knew you were involved in this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/e2QFp9R.png[/img] Elora: I'm...a witness actually. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pK6jR2H.png[/img] ???: I see...what a small world. [img]https://i.imgur.com/c4i9Lqw.png[/img] Jane: You two know each other? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Wnhwm9j.png[/img] Elora: We studied at the same classroom last year. Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj2sZaGFpik]Confrontation ~ Allegro 2011[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/51sYvM4.png[/img] Joel Courlton: The name's Joel. Pleased to meet you all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QkjklSL.png[/img] Johnson: He claims that he saw the crime happening from his classroom. Thus, I told him the details of the crime and what we have found so far. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jzvr4zJ.png[/img] Kenzuki: Who did you see Mr. Courlton? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: The guy over there. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KiR1yum.png[/img] Tsuya: Me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ItpO033.png[/img] Andressa: Again? [img]https://i.imgur.com/iCDok3W.png[/img] Jane: Um...Mr. Courlton... [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: I know what you're going to say, but do you honestly believe something like "there wasn't any traces of blood in his clothes" enough to really make him innocent? Get real. [img]https://i.imgur.com/iLSkRim.png[/img] Jane: What makes you think that? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: When I saw the crime happening, the victim at one point, turned his back. Tsuya over there took it as an opportunity to hit him with the chair. Knocking the victim to the ground. Then, I saw him hitting the chair again and again. Man, that made me cringe... [img]https://i.imgur.com/iCDok3W.png[/img] Jane: A-Are you sure it was Tsuya? [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: No way in hell I'm going to forget that green uniform. Sides, isn't he famous for being bullied a lot? I've seen his face time and time again when some of the bullies kept ridiculing him in the corridors. I would reconize him anywhere. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OovLvLc.png[/img] Tsuya: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/6r1c3rV.png[/img] Jane: So you're saying that the blood couldn't have got into Tsuya because of the way the victim was positioned...right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GmC87uy.png[/img] Joel: Exactly. What do you think? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lz0fjr5.png[/img] Jane: ....Yeah...I'll give you that. If he was being hit on the ground, the chair would've probably covered the wound when it opened. Something big like a chair is not something you can swing like a bat, so It would've taken someone like Tsuya one second to lift if up on the air for a following attack. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JB5kf27.png[/img] Andressa: Are you kidding me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ftAN1mG.png[/img] Jane: Tsuya did tell us he was planning to get into a fight with the victim. If he really did the crime, it would most likely be out of anger, meaning he could've left some prints in the chair he had to wipe. Mr. Courlton, did you see Tsuya cleaning the chair with something? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GmC87uy.png[/img] Joel: Not really...But if no prints were found, then he probably did. [img]https://i.imgur.com/cFfvPp8.png[/img] Jane: I see... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Y0iKEdd.png[/img] Andressa: C'mon! You're just agreeing with him. Do something already. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: Calm down, she hasn't given up yet. [img]https://i.imgur.com/eEsjD0H.png[/img] Andressa: But at this rate. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sNNbnyw.png[/img] Hiagor: Just let her concentrate okay? I promise you'll be amazed by the end result. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TkYyQmc.png[/img] Andressa: Really? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: (Right now, she's exploring the possibilities.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/ftAN1mG.png[/img] Jane: Did he really leave through the door? [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: That he did. Most likely to dispose of the evidence and come back to the scene of crime to wait for the cameras to go back online. [img]https://i.imgur.com/c4i9Lqw.png[/img] Jane: Detective Johnson, did you find anything resembling a handkerchief in the 3rd floor? [img]https://i.imgur.com/qYLXkbK.png[/img] Johnson: Nothing of the sort was found. Only papers. [img]https://i.imgur.com/cFfvPp8.png[/img] Jane: I see... [img]https://i.imgur.com/1k1CUHp.png[/img] Joel: We can also assume he used his shirt. I've heard this was brought up in the previous discussion. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lz0fjr5.png[/img] Jane: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: That boy is the murderer. Regarless of motive, it's a heinous crime and he should pay for it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/oM5cYfx.png[/img] Johnson: Jane...if you have something to say...say it now. I don't want any more surprises. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6r1c3rV.png[/img] Jane: Detective Johnson...I believe I didn't get to check the crime scene myself. Do you perhaps have a photo of it? [img]https://i.imgur.com/jLsedue.png[/img] Johnson: Yes, right here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YwoqcdZ.png[/img] Jane: Let's see... She examined the photo, It was from the crime scene after the body was removed for analysis. The place where the head would be was facing the wall away from the blackboard. The chair was near where the body of the victim used to be, looking like it was knocked down. Anything else was out of the ordinary. There was one thing that made Jane raise an eyebrow. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ftAN1mG.png[/img] Jane: (One of the windows is open. It's a sliding window...But, is this important right now?) [img]https://i.imgur.com/h95iit1.png[/img] Jane: (Wait...If the culprit made sure to wipe their fingerprints on the murder weapon...then maybe...) Detective, I want you to run a fingerprint analysis on this window. [img]https://i.imgur.com/A7wl468.png[/img] Johnson: What are you hoping to find there? [img]https://i.imgur.com/jPCKFH5.png[/img] Jane: If the culprit made sure to get rid of his fingerprints, then surely, there are wiped fingerprints there as well. [img]https://i.imgur.com/51sYvM4.png[/img] Joel: And? Not like that's going to prove anything... [img]https://i.imgur.com/fr1dhvC.png[/img] Jane: It might prove one thing...That you might be lying. Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwoi6-8UFQI]Objection! 2013[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/gz9lLO2.png[/img] Jane: You said in your testimony that you didn't knew what Tsuya used to clean the fingerprints. However, from an open window like that, you should've seen cleary what he was using. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: !!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jzvr4zJ.png[/img] Kenzuki: You're right. How do you explain that Mr. Courlton? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GmC87uy.png[/img] Joel: Well...Maybe I wasn't looking... [img]https://i.imgur.com/THLzVhw.png[/img] Jane: [b]OBJECTION!!![/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/eIoEOws.png[/img] Johnson: (Saw it coming this time.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: W-What's your deal? [img]https://i.imgur.com/fr1dhvC.png[/img] Jane: You also confirmed that you saw him leaving the room. Nothing more, nothing less. There's no way you could've forgot something when you claimed that you've seen everything. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: Argh!!! Just...Just... Johnson then, called the investigation team to do a fingerprint analysis. Minutes later, they came back with the results. Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9zxzpvRLkU]Confrontation - Allegro 2009[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/eIoEOws.png[/img] Johnson: Seems like the girl's hunch was right. There were indeed traces of fingerprints there. Of course, it's impossible to tell who it was. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/kXWToDV.png[/img] Barry: Why lie about it Mr. Courlton? Do you think this is a joke? [img]https://i.imgur.com/96HwARS.png[/img] Joel: Of course not! I'm telling the truth...Maybe he suddenly remembered to come back to wipe them? That's possible too right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: I'll take his side on this one. It's a valid possibility after all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ftAN1mG.png[/img] Jane: Detective? [img]https://i.imgur.com/qYLXkbK.png[/img] Johnson: Here it comes... [img]https://i.imgur.com/sNNbnyw.png[/img] Hiagor: Thus, I ask you this: For what reason the culprit would have to open the window? [img]https://i.imgur.com/iLSkRim.png[/img] Jane: To let some air enter the room? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: That's one possibility, but you can do better. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jzvr4zJ.png[/img] Kenzuki: Where are you getting with this? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rkbH2xT.png[/img] Hiagor: If you really want to know...what if the culprit used that as an escape route instead. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QkjklSL.png[/img] Johnson: Yep... [img]https://i.imgur.com/1VONakc.png[/img] Jane: E-Excuse me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/nqdrfMm.png[/img] Hiagor: You see, this city has many strong people that can endure a good deal of punishment. A three floor building is nothing to these kinds of individuals. [img]https://i.imgur.com/e6iEyEa.png[/img] Tsuya: Y-You're not planning to throw me down that high...aren't you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: Don't bother...Tsuya will just break his legs on purpose. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VmQNUOd.png[/img] Hiagor: Exactly, why would I even suggest something like that? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Hkt0aqT.png[/img] Johnson: You're already suggesting something ridiculous. [img]https://i.imgur.com/iLSkRim.png[/img] Jane: Wouldn't be safer to just leave the room? I mean, Mr. Courlton did say that Tsuya left through the door...Even though he lied about the cleaned fingerprints. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: I didn't lie you mental... [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: Just putting the possibility out there. I mean, maybe the culprit needed some sort of shortcut. A chair makes quite a bit of noise when it hits something, so what if the culprit was afraid to meet someone on the corridor right now, let's say, a janitor. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1VONakc.png[/img] Jane: Oh...Let's see if I follow you...The culprit killed the victim, then cleaned the fingerprints. When he was about to leave, he he heard footsteps from the outside and was afraid that it was someone that heard the loud noise. Then, the culprit went for the window, but remembered to clean the fingerprints after opening it, then jumped and ran away. Is that what are you trying to say? [img]https://i.imgur.com/7v7LbaT.png[/img] Hiagor: Yep! I have no evidence to back that up, then again, there's no definitive evidence pointing that Tsuya is the culprit. Even with Mr.Courlton's claims, it only helped generate more confusion. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: C'mon...Are you serious that you're going to let this guy free? [img]https://i.imgur.com/w3EZ6jK.png[/img] Elora: Just leave it be Joel...It seems that luck is on that guy's side and he will get away with it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: Lucky? Him? C'mon! He gets bullied everyday because he's a super smartass. His girlfriend even got her first kiss stolen by Gardiad and... [img]https://i.imgur.com/KiR1yum.png[/img] Tsuya: Wait...that's the name of the guy who kissed Katy? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GmC87uy.png[/img] Joel: That's the guy. Vincent told that me today. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1VONakc.png[/img] Jane: You met with the victim? When? [img]https://i.imgur.com/pK6jR2H.png[/img] Joel: A...bit before class started. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xa0QsoN.png[/img] Hiagor: (I noticed a pause...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/jL3MK6L.png[/img] Kenzuki: Where did you meet? You know he was supposed to be in detention, right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GmC87uy.png[/img] Joel: D-Does it matter where we met? We could be anywhere empty since the cameras were offline. He told me about what happened with Tsuya and his girlfriend yesterday. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tEbAJ9k.png[/img] Jane: W-We're not... [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: Just let him talk. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: Anyway...He also told me that Tsuya called him to meet at the empty classroom in the 3rd floor. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7v7LbaT.png[/img] Hiagor: I see...anything else? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: Just some useless banter before the school bell. Can you get off my case already? [img]https://i.imgur.com/geo9q2I.png[/img] Kenzuki: No can do, now tell us again the exact location of your conversation with him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: ...If you insist...We met at the gym...I didn't knew where he was going to hide after we parted ways. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jzvr4zJ.png[/img] Kenzuki: Are you sure it was there? And right before the sound of the bell? [img]https://i.imgur.com/51sYvM4.png[/img] Joel: Is there a problem with that? [img]https://i.imgur.com/geo9q2I.png[/img] Kenzuki: Wouldn't you be late for class? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: Does it matter? I talked with Vincent and that's what matters. I'm not going to "lie again". I've never once told a lie here. If you even doubt that I've seen the crime, my classmates are my alibis. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1VONakc.png[/img] Jane: What about a teacher? The murder ocurred before lunch break, but the victim only died at 12AM. If you really saw the murder, it had to be during class hours. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: ...AH! [img]https://i.imgur.com/gz9lLO2.png[/img] Jane: Even better, shouldn't you've called everyone's attention to the murder if you saw it? That way, many more people would've seen it, even the teacher. I'm sure someone could've took a photo. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: Well... **Objection! 2013 plays again** [img]https://i.imgur.com/THLzVhw.png[/img] Jane: I had a feeling you were fishy...but this cements it. Joel, you're really lying this time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: KAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: (Guess she dropped the formalities with him.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/T80MKAk.png[/img] Andressa: Hehehe...You were right Detective, I am enjoying what I'm seeing. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yAiON1J.png[/img] Jane: (I didn't know why we took so long to question his alibi...But I guess we were a bit too focused in one room to pay attention to the other room that "saw" what was happening.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/Pvqa2EW.png[/img] Kenzuki: You said that your classmates were your alibis right? Are you implying everyone would lie about you being there in the classroom for you? What kind of bribery did you peform? [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: Tch... [img]https://i.imgur.com/OSXOuIY.png[/img] Jane: Joel...You didn't see the murder at all. Why do you keep lying? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: T-Thats... [img]https://i.imgur.com/tZsBZFC.png[/img] Elora: Seriously...I should've seen it coming too ever since you mentioned that you met Vincent...You haven't changed one bit since last year and you keep hanging out with people like him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: You stay quiet? [img]https://i.imgur.com/yVhNQkK.png[/img] Tsuya: Why though? She's telling the truth. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QkjklSL.png[/img] Johnson: Since we have no reason to believe his testimony, that still leaves us with the issue of the identity of the culprit...again... Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kwKogno3dk]TRAUMA[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/THLzVhw.png[/img] Jane: Yep...But we're not giving up just yet. Joel, what were you really doing if you weren't at your classroom with the others? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GmC87uy.png[/img] Joel: I was just wandering the corridors. Anyone that saw me probably assume I was going to the bathroom or back to my class. I knew the cameras were offline so I could do anything before they were turned on again. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1VONakc.png[/img] Jane: What corridors? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: Grrr....2nd Floor... [b]OBJECTION!!![/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: C'mon! What is it now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DIFpbzS.png[/img] Jane: That wasn't me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ys9TiCY.png[/img] Zeelena: I-It was me...D-Did I do it right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/kUDlg7m.png[/img] Jane: Y-Yeah...Something like that...So, what is it? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ShVWkEB.png[/img] Zeelena: I don't remember seeing Courlton there. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: Of course not. You only say Tsuya heading to the 3rd Floor right? Maybe I wasn't nearby...Besides...Even if I was in the 3rd Floor corridors, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. [img]https://i.imgur.com/dFjyre5.png[/img] Zeelena: Oh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: It was a nice try. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kok17NQ.png[/img] Jane: ...Wait...Joel, are you sure you didn't see anything in the corridors? [img]https://i.imgur.com/96HwARS.png[/img] Joel: Nothing at all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1VONakc.png[/img] Jane: Alright then...Tsuya, didn't you see someone on your way to the third floor? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UnCVBPv.png[/img] Tsuya: No...The corridors were empty. [img]https://i.imgur.com/AMSAVQh.png[/img] Jane: Okay...Let's assume these statements are true. Joel claimed he didn't see anyone in the corridors, meaning that he was in the right wing when Tsuya got on the 3rd floor and didn't meet him. Tsuya said that he didn't meet anyone in the corridors when he was heading to that classroom. Let's go back to that crazy theory Detective Hiagor proposed a while ago. What if the footsteps the killer heard weren't from a janitor but from Tsuya instead? That would mean that crime happened around 11:45. Tsuya took 15 minutes to open the door, which was way more than enough time for the killer to escape and hide somewhere where it wouldn't look suspicious. [img]https://i.imgur.com/51sYvM4.png[/img] Joel: That's all assuming I was on the 3rd floor...which I wasn't...But then again, you don't have much reason to believe in me...heck, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't accused me of murder. [img]https://i.imgur.com/iCDok3W.png[/img] Jane: I wouldn't do that without decisive evidence. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: Which no one has. I'll give it to you that Tsuya is maybe innocent, but this case so far has been a wild goose chase with no true incriminating evidence on site. [img]https://i.imgur.com/geo9q2I.png[/img] Kenzuki: Don't tell me...you actually testified just because you thought he did it? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GmC87uy.png[/img] Joel: It would've made all of this way faster...I was doing a favor to you all... [img]https://i.imgur.com/28PHj86.png[/img] Elora: You're really the worst...No...It seems you've gotten worse with time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JB5kf27.png[/img] Andressa: Remind me to beat this guy down once we're done here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vyicl9b.png[/img] Kenzuki: I won't allow that. It's my responsability to handle this scum of a student. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pK6jR2H.png[/img] Joel: Hmph... [img]https://i.imgur.com/iCDok3W.png[/img] Jane: (Still...He's right...The identity of the culprit is still a mystery...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/6r1c3rV.png[/img] Jane: (This almost looks like a perfect crime...If this is taken to court, we'll never know what the judge might decide with so much inconclusive facts...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/LBQPzfe.png[/img] Jane: (What should I do? What we're missing? What sort of evidence can point us to the killer? What we have is really enough? Think Jane Katy...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: Hey, Miss Ace Attorney. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1VONakc.png[/img] Jane: Huh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/sNNbnyw.png[/img] Hiagor: You've already found an answer outsite that room. How about trying doing it again? [img]https://i.imgur.com/kUDlg7m.png[/img] Jane: ...That's a good idea Detective... [img]https://i.imgur.com/iLSkRim.png[/img] Jane: (Let's see...The moment the events would lead outside the room would be...The moment the culprit jumped out of the window! That's right, He would land the ground, then head off to his freedom, without no one discovering him.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/uiTXy2N.png[/img] Jane: (Landed...on the ground huh? Wait a minute.) Jane heads to the window and checks the ground. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EEJn9kQ.png[/img] Jane: (That's right, there are parts of the floor that aren't covered with grass or concrete, meaning that...The culprit left footprints!) [img]https://i.imgur.com/kUDlg7m.png[/img] Jane: (And with footprints, the police can make an analysis of the shoe and combine it with someone from this school. I'm aware of the possibility that more than one people can use a pair of the same brand. But even still, the size of the shoe would still help us point to a certain number of students.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/gz9lLO2.png[/img] Jane: (That's it! I think I've finally got it!) Detective Johnson. Search for footprints near the window. I'm sure those will lead us to some likely- Before Jane could finish her sentence, she was suddenly grabbed by someone, being quickly dragged close to the window. She was a knife pointed at her.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/lhqy8lD.png[/img] Kenzuki: So it was really you...Mr. Courlton. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Y0iKEdd.png[/img] Andressa: Bastard...Get your hands off her! [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: I know that there was a brief period before the body was discovered. It was enough time for my prints to be covered by someone during break time, but seeing how luck was on that guy's side...I'd rather not take the risk. [img]https://i.imgur.com/nqdrfMm.png[/img] Hiagor: And thus...the culprit finally reveals himself... [img]https://i.imgur.com/A2PYgNe.png[/img] Nicholas: Zee...Stay back, this is going to get ugly. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t4x8Usm.png[/img] Joel: Hey...Are you really planning to take me on when I have a hostage? [img]https://i.imgur.com/YA9qLQj.png[/img] Barry: Yes and sincerely, we don't really care. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: W-Wait a minute...are you really going to attack? [img]https://i.imgur.com/d3xmnYu.png[/img] Mina: I don't see why not. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OSGMVZV.png[/img] Tsuya: W-Wait... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: Stop!!! They all lunged at Joel, he tried to use Jane as a shield, but he ended up getting hit by Hiagor anyway, a kick to the head. Jane freed herself and ran to safety. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TkYyQmc.png[/img] Andressa: Are you guys crazy? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GTMRns1.png[/img] Mina: Our method may seem cruel... [img]https://i.imgur.com/rC2d1dY.png[/img] Barry: But the moment the enemy notices that their hostage loses their value, they lose their last ticket of escaping. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UQyQLux.png[/img] Joel: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/W7kWKYp.png[/img] Elora: (All this time...He was a murderer...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/Y0iKEdd.png[/img] Andressa: Am I allowed to beat him up now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/yWXggFH.png[/img] Kenzuki: Normally, I would say no, but all I ask is that you leave some for me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipXtsB7.png[/img] Joel: Dammit...If I have never dropped that ID card and that stupid assclown Vincent Carl had found it...Tsuya would be with us now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/xM5RK9o.png[/img] Tsuya: Eh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/1k1CUHp.png[/img] Joel: That's right. These guys set this whole thing up to catch someone like me...and you were the bait Tsuya. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HhvXKPF.png[/img] Tsuya: Me? B-But why? [img]https://i.imgur.com/96HwARS.png[/img] Joel: Because you are suspected of being a Psychic User...but that's most likely a lie. They just choose the most likely person possible and went with that. Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmSzQWVlltU]Katsuie Shibata's Theme[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/FlRPEAh.png[/img] Tsuya: I...Was a bait... [img]https://i.imgur.com/VmQNUOd.png[/img] Hiagor: We were planning to tell you this once this was over...I'm sorry... [img]https://i.imgur.com/IGHGwuc.png[/img] Tsuya: No...I'm freaking done! People had stepped on me for far too long. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tEbAJ9k.png[/img] Jane: T-Tsuya...calm down... [img]https://i.imgur.com/jRoYUpN.png[/img] Tsuya: No! I've had enough. No longer people are going to treat me like I'm garbage...I'M...DONE WITH THIS WORLD!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/4UGg4HO.png[/img] Mina: !!! Ancestor Mages and In-Births could sense something awakening in Tsuya. Everyone else was confused on why the table started moving by itelf and the chair Tsuya was in was blown towards a wall. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pK6jR2H.png[/img] Joel: No bloody way...He's really... [img]https://i.imgur.com/W4oa1le.png[/img] Hiagor: Everyone! Watch out!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/jRoYUpN.png[/img] Tsuya: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Everyone except Joel ducked for cover. A Psychic Force hit him with full power, breaking the wall behind him and sending Joel flying away. The others decided to use the newfond "exit" to escape to an open area. [img]https://i.imgur.com/SLc4ELF.png[/img] Hiagor: (What a bad time to be right on a hunch...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/iCDok3W.png[/img] Jane: Tsuya... [/hider]
