Hello everyone! This is a crossover between Akuma no Riddle and Danganronpa. I'll use things from both those series, so it's not exactly the characters of AnR in the universe of DR. There will have spoilers for AnR anime and manga, and spoilers for the first game and anime adaptation of DR. You don't need to have see both AnR and DR to understand this story, but you need to at least had seen one. This is my first crossover fanfiction, so I hope you'll like it (or otherwise it would be so despair-inducing for me).

I'm sorry if I made mistakes, English isn't my first language.

Warning: Akuma no Riddle is a shojo-ai manga, so there will be probably some yuri subtext, but it won't be the main focus of this story.

Ichinose Haru was standing in front of a huge building. Its impressive height made the young girl feel smaller. It was quite intimidating for her, a normal student, to be on the campus of such a prestigious school as Myojo Academy.

The edifice in front of Haru was the main building of Myojo Academy, where the students had their classes. This academy was a private boarding school that welcomes students from all ages, be it elementary, middle, high school and even university students. In Haru's case, she was in her last year of middle school.

There was one special class in Myojo Academy. It wasn't active each year, but when it does, it's a rather popular conversation topic among the students. This particular class was named Class Black. It was a class of elite students, but no one except those who attend this class really knows why they were considered as elite. Despite that, the Class Black's students were quite popular and even admired by the regular students. Some rumors suggested that they were in fact idols.

But Haru knew the truth. She knew the true purpose of Class Black, and it wasn't as great as people thought. Despite this, the young girl still chose to attempt this class.

But this year, it was different. Class Black had a new purpose, because of an alliance between Myojo Academy and Hope's Peak Academy. Hope's Peak was one of the most prestigious schools in Japan. This school was known to welcome high school students with great talent, known as "Super High School Level". But, Hope's Peak wanted to expand their research of talents. They wanted to study the potential talents of students who weren't in high school, but were still teenagers.

That is why this year, Class Black will welcome the firsts "Super Middle School Level". Those who had been chosen to attempt this class possessed a skill that could potentially become a talent worthy of Hope's Peak Academy. The goal of the alliance was to observe the evolution of middle school students' talent. From Myojo's side, it could be beneficial for their reputation, while on Hope's Peak side, it was also a scouting to find new talented students.

Which is why Haru was here, on Myojo Academy's campus, in front of the main building. She received an invitation from Myojo to attend Class Black and was given an SMSL title.

But she knew it was just an excuse to lure her here. She wasn't skilled, she was just a normal middle school girl. After all, she knew that Class Black's true purpose hasn't changed in the slightest just because of the alliance with Hope's Peak. But despite that, she didn't refuse the invitation.

"Whatever they have planned for me, Haru won't give up!" the young girl thought with enthusiasm. "Haru will definitely survive and graduate from Class Black, and befriend all my classmates!"

Smiling brightly and with determination, Haru crossed the main entrance door, feeling ready for anything that was waiting for her.

Suddenly, everything became distorted. Haru had a great headache and felt nauseous. Everything she saw was terribly blurry, it was like the world was twisting and spinning. It was only a matter of seconds before everything was engulfing her into darkness…

The first thing Haru noticed when she woke up was the hardness of the surface she was lying on. There was no way she could be on her bed right now. She was lying on her back, looking at the ceiling. She could tell that it wasn't her bedroom. Then, where was she? The young girl put herself in a sitting position and discovered that she had been lying on a floor.

"Why did…I fall asleep on the floor?"

She suddenly had a violent headache. Haru grabbed her head while the features of her face clenched in pain.

"No…someone must have knocked me out."

Gradually, her headache faded. Haru rose up and ended up in front of a blackboard.

"Could it be…am I in a classroom?"

The young girl turned back and saw that she was indeed in a classroom. But it wasn't the only thing she saw. She noticed that she wasn't alone. Someone was sitting on a chair, their face lying down on a desk. From where Haru was, the person looked like a boy. Their hair was short and blue and they seemed to be wearing a school uniform composed of a white shirt.

"This person…could it be the one who stunned me? No, he also seems unconscious. He must be in the same situation as me."

Worried about the other student's condition, Haru went toward them. When she was next to them, she noticed her mistake. The student was wearing a blue skirt, so there was a high possibility that they were, in fact, a girl. She was also wearing a tie of the same color as her skirt and brown boots.

Haru put her hand on the other girl's shoulder with the intention of shaking it to wake her up, but as soon as she touched her, the other girl's muscles tensed. She grabbed Haru's hand and in just a few seconds, they were both on the floor, with the blue haired girl on top of her.

Haru could have a clear view of the other girl's face. Despite her boyish looks, she was indeed a female, probably around her age, so 15 years old. Her eyes were icy blue and her face didn't show any emotion. Haru didn't know her, but for some reason she couldn't explain, she had a sense of déja vu when looking at the other girl.

The blue-haired girl was pinning Haru on the floor using one hand that was pressing on her collarbone. With her other hand, the boyish girl was searching in her own skirt's pocket. An annoyed look appeared on her face, like she didn't find what she was looking for.

"You…why did you bring me here?" The blue-haired girl asked calmly but with a sharp tone of voice.

"It's not like that! Haru woke up here, just like you. We're in the same situation…"

"Don't try to lie to me. Your footsteps woke me up when you approached me. You were trying to do something to me when I was unconscious. I felt you touching me…"

"It's a misunderstanding! Haru was just trying to see if you were alright, I swear! Haru would never try to hurt someone, I was just worried for you. So please, let me go."

The blue-haired girl remained quiet. She gazed intensely at Haru and her eyes looked over all of her body, like she was analyzing it. The boyish girl suddenly sniffed the air, before releasing her. She then rose up.

"You don't look dangerous or strong, and you don't have a bad scent. So I'll take your words for the truth, for the moment." The blue haired girl said.

Haru wondered how the way she smelled was relevant, but she didn't dare to ask. She rose up too, standing in front of the other girl. They were almost the same height, but Haru was smaller by one or two centimeters.

"Is that how you greet everyone? By jumping on them?" Haru asked.

"Just those who try to touch me without my permission."

"Like I said, I was just…ah, never mind. So, are you a student here?"

"Student? Here? I don't think so…first, where are we?"

"Myojo Academy, I think. Tell me, are you…related to Class Black?"

The blue-haired girl became silent. Haru could see that she was now on her guard. She didn't look hostile, but she was certainly on the defensive.

"So, I guess you too are supposed to attend Class Black."

"So you are too!? That means…we are classmates!" Haru said cheerfully. "Hey, what's your name?"

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"Ah, you're right! My name is Ichinose Haru, and I was invited in Class Black as the Super Middle School Level Lucky Student!"

The boyish girl remained thoughtful for a moment, like she had some difficulties to assimilate what Haru said.

"Lucky Student? What kind of talent is it? I don't understand how luck could be considered as a skill. How could you be chosen for this title?"

"Ah, I'm not sure. There wasn't any explanation about this in my invitation. Haru also thinks it's weird to consider luck as a talent, especially since I'm not particularly lucky…I know that at Hope's Peak Academy, the Super High School Level Lucky Student is chosen with a lottery, so maybe it's the same thing with Haru."

The blue-haired girl didn't say anything. She remained silent, which bothered Haru.

"Haru introduced herself, so it's your turn now."

The other girl sighed.

"Azuma Tokaku."

"And you're the SMSL…?"

Azuma looked away, with a hesitating look on her face. Her expression suddenly became annoyed and she glanced at Haru.

"It's none of your business." The blue-haired girl replied.

Haru could have been offended by her response, but she wasn't. She was sure that Azuma had a reason to refuse telling her SMSL title. Haru couldn't be mad at someone who wanted to keep a secret, because she herself, was a person with many secrets.

"If you don't want to tell Haru, it's fine. I won't insist. Can I call you Tokaku?"

"No. Call me Azuma."

Haru didn't like to call someone by their family name. It felt too distant, especially with her classmates.

"What about Tokaku…san?" She proposed.

Azuma gazed at her with an emotionless expression, before sighing.

"Do as you like."

Haru smiled, delighted to have found a compromise.

"So, Tokaku-san, do you want to go to explore the school with Haru?"

"Not really. I'll go investigating, if you want to follow me, I won't stop you."

Without saying more, the blue-haired girl left the classroom.

"Hey, that's so mean, Tokaku-san! Wait for me!"

When she was about to cross the door, Haru turned back and looked at the classroom. For some reason, this room seemed familiar to her. But she didn't find it strange. After all, it wasn't the first time she was in a classroom; it wasn't a big coincidence if this one looked like a classroom she already saw.

"Whatever this situation is about, Haru won't die here. Haru will survive and graduate from Class Black." she thought while rushing toward Tokaku.

"Super Middle School Level" would probably be "Potential Ultimate" if I use the english term.

So what do you think about this crossover? Should I continued?
