Exam 3

[lockdownmods]

Exam 3.

[ Once again, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

Today Han is absent-- only Megumi is present at the front of the classroom. ]


Today you are responsible for finding the culprit responsible for the death of Maya Fey, the Apprentice Falsely Accused.

Your exam begins now.

Victim.






Suspects.



[ The physical evidence tray sits in the middle of the circle of desks; you all have the Evidence app on your tablets to access photo evidence. ]

Don't you start...talking like that, either. I'm not looking to put this on someone who didn't actually kill someone. You're just as much a person as anyone else here.

[pathofconquest]

I was a person once, it's true, but a Heroic Spirit is something different. I've lived my life once. That's not true of the others here.

[throwabookatit]

I'm...not pretending to understand your circumstances. If you're apparently...Alexander the Great, or whatever is going on here. But don't speak like that. For the sake of the person who likes you, at the very least.

[pathofconquest]

I can assure you that I am.

...at least, as I was when I was young. The one most would recognize... well that's apparently not how I was summoned this time.

But I understand. I will be conscious of that. Nonetheless I feel it's something you all should keep in mind when you have to make that choice.

[Because someone has to die, you know?]

[throwabookatit]

You're sounding like you'd be fine if we picked you, even if you didn't-- have some respect, for yourself!

[unhalting]

...Hey. Is this really the way someone'd speak after they frame someone for murder?

[devotingly]

He's just accepting his fate because he thinks that his life is replaceable.

[ he's just looking away now, very hurt ]

[unhalting]

That's not my point. If he thinks his life is replaceable, then why bother framing someone? Might as well just confess, like Viral did.

[throwabookatit]

It...really doesn't...sound that way... [ ...Looking away. ]

[swordsinternally]

... If they said that I can stay even in spite of who I am, if you didn't do it, then I agree with the others as well.

Because even if you die, disappear and get resummoned, you won't remember any of this because of how the Throne of Heroes works.

[pathofconquest]

Hmmm... that's true.

[That is... well it does make it more difficult.]
