Chapter One: Different School
Makoto's POV
I don't know why I was asked here to Hope's Peak High School since I didn't sign up for the lottery and I was sent the invitation saying I won it in a lottery. It was odd but I think my parents and Komaru, my sister, would be happy but I don't really know if they would be or not.
It was a prep school for over achievers and I came here to find a way to become a teacher since I love kids and think I would be good at it if I tried. As soon as I stepped forward and onto campus though I knew something was wrong and not just from my other worldly powers but because everything felt heavy and looked like a whirlpool.
The next thing I knew I was in darkness and woke up to see I was lying my head on a desk which was odd because I wasn't entirely familiar with this room. I looked around and saw a security camera which felt out of place before seeing iron plates which I walked up to but didn't touch.
I used my info broker ability and saw in red that we, the student of this school, installed them which was odd since I don't remember doing it. I would think I would remember that but I don't, I touched the metal and deduced that it was a strong metal aloe and that it was well-built.
I turned around to inspect the rest of the room to see a note on, I think, a teacher's speaking desk since it had no chair but a half circle where I think someone is supposed to stand that was in between two desks. I walked over to it picking it up seeing that it was welcoming me to a new life before I read that I had to meet in the Gymnasium at eight, I looked up at the clock to see it was 7:55 so I walked to the door cautiously opening it since I don't remember this place that well.
I opened the spruce doors into a purple colored hallway which looked really creepy and also out of place before walking down the hall to come across a golden colored slider door that had said 'Gym' above it. When I did all I saw was white before seeing a bunch of students who acted very different from each other in almost every way.
I was going to ask something before a brunette with large spiky dreadlocks spoke saying that it makes fifteen of us now, he was a Super High School-Level Fortune-Teller who has a 30% accuracy in is predictions. His name is Yasuhiro Hagakure and he's always been a bit paranoid.
A Fanzine Artist was the next to speak asking if this was everyone and blocking my view of Yasuhiro, he sold thousands of doujinshis at our school festival. His name is Hifumi Yamada and is a Super High School-Level Fanzine Artist "Maybe now we'll get some answers" he said before the next person spoke.
The next person to speak is Kiyotaka Ishimaru who was pointing his finger at me saying I was late and calling me a truant, I wasn't really surprised that he did because he's a Super High School-Level Hall Monitor and all. He was a member of the Disciplinary Committee as well, which is also no surprise "There is no excuse for your tardiness" he told me before Mukuro Ikusaba told him to stop in a way a popular girl would.
I have no idea why she is posing as her sister, Junko Enoshima a Super High School-Level Fashion Diva, but she isn't really cut out for the role being in the military and all. She might just be doing as her sister says anyway for a reason I don't know "who cares about punctuality we don't even know why we're here" she said before I saw someone raise their hand.
"Did you wake up by yourself in a classroom?" Chihiro Fujisaki asked and I nodded saying that I did. "Thought that was the case" Chihiro told me before I used my power asking their basic info and noticing that Chihiro's a he and not a she so I asked that as well.
Chihiro Fujisaki is a Super High School-Level Programmer and was bullied in school for being so girlish. He decided to cross-dress because of this and when he started in another school he made friends and realized that if they found out he was male he would get made fun of again for cross-dressing so he continued.
"That happened to us as well" he told me before Taeko Yasuhiro, who goes by Celestia Ludenberck apparently, said something mysterious concerning our situation. She's a Super High School-Level Gambler and started gambling when she was younger even winning games that had her own life at stake.
She said it was peculiar before a man named Mondo Ohwada agreed, he's a Super High School-Level Biker with a Punch Perm () that's dyed a reddish brown. He blames himself for his brother, Daiya's, death and I don't understand why because Daiya didn't have to push him out of the way of the truck.
He said it reminds him of the times he had in juvy before Leon Kuwata said that we were kidnapped instead, Leon is apparently a Super High School-Level Baseball Player. He gave his cousin who was two years younger than him the task of throwing a baseball 160 kmh saying he would possibly fall in love with her, if the record for women's pitching wasn't 140 kmh it would be fine but it was so she gave up.
He made a joke that they'll auction off our organs before a brunette girl spoke saying it was a motivational program, her name's Aoi Asahina and she's a Super High School-Level Swimmer. She's good at swimming and has won every contest she's entered which was really cool and a good achievement for someone.
She asked a muscular girl a question having to do with this being a special school, Sakura Ohgami didn't know how to answer that. Sakura's a Super High School-Level Grappler who made a deal with the current principal to not hurt anyone which is admirable if she tells us.
I do agree with her that we go over our situation and nodded since I agree with it whole-heartedly before I looked around at the other students wondering what their personalities are like. I was creeped out by the girl who seemed even more paranoid than the fortune-teller, she said that she knew I was undressing her with my eyes which is very stupid in my opinion and why I think she's creepy.
Her name's Touko Fukawa and she's a Super High School-Level Literary Girl who has a crush on my boyfriend, apparently, but I didn't even know I had one. She also turns into Genocide Jack (2) when she sees blood after fainting, but she also turns back into Touko Fukawa when she sneezes which is odd.
She thought I thought she was a 'troll' or something but I don't know why before Byakuya Togami, my boyfriend, said I wasn't all that. He's a Super High School-Level Heir and doesn't know that his father killed Masato Naegi (3), Chiyoko Naegi (4), and Komaru Naegi.
He told me to take a picture and he looked very annoyed because I was staring "sorry" I said in a steady tone before I saw Kyoko Kirigiri. She's a Super High School-Level Detective but I don't think she knows that, she's also been trying to find her father which was odd because he's the principal of this school.
I walked up to her wanting to know more about it but as soon as she asked if I need help with something I changed my mind "never mind it's nothing" I told her with a smile before walking off. I sighed unsure if I know anyone here before I heard a familiar voice asking if my name was Naegi before I looked up to see Sayaka Maizono.
"We went to the same middle school" she told me and I nodded seeing that she was a Super High School-Level Idol. She and I went to the same middle school before she went on to become a pop star with a few of her friends, she did some bad stuff to get there but that was in the past, hopefully it was anyway.
She told me it was a relief that there was someone here she knows "you actually remember me?" I asked and I was embarrassed that she remembers me just from me nursing a Ardea (5), it's similar to a Heron but it has black swirls going down its neck. Even though she had said it was because we were in the same school for three years I knew that was the actual reason, I told her I was surprised because I wasn't popular but she was.
She said she thought she came off as a 'snob' which wasn't true but I didn't apologize when she said that because when she put her face in her hands I knew she wasn't really crying. "Knew I was faking huh?" she asked me and I nodded before Byakuya accused me of flirting "I do not flirt, much less with girls" I said shocking Byakuya and Sayaka.
"Anyways, someone has taken us here for a reason" he said when he got over the shock "we're all prisoners" Touko said and her glasses were crooked from her grabbing at her head. "I'm wanting my cell phone back because that's just barbaric" Mukuro said making everyone except myself look for their devices, I never had any since my family's deaths so that doesn't concern me.
Sakura said the same thing asking if they were confiscated before Yasuhiro said that they'll probably give them back after orientation, he foretold it taking out his crystal ball when he said it. Leon asked about the crystal ball in a 'are you serious' tone before Yasuhiro said he's dead on 30% of the time which made Touko laugh at him for the '30%' part.
A voice came over the speakers testing the microphone and I could tell from the voice it wasn't the principal from before since it sounded out of place, I remember a few things now like: hanging out with the other students here, Byakuya asking me out in the Library, Chihiro coming out as a guy, and Mondo accepting that he was dating a guy. The principal's voice sounding like that I don't remember though, he told us that it was time to roll out the welcome wagon without even knowing what that means.
Yasuhiro was being optimistic saying that we're not prisoners and that this is how they do things at Hope's Peak but Kyoko said he was half-right which made me look at her. I looked to the stage and saw a half polar bear and half demon bear jump up onto the podium shocking everyone and I could tell he was an animatronic being as soon as he appeared.
What he said was funny since I don't know how anyone would think he's a 'high-tech Build-A-Bear reject' before telling us he's the principal and I know that's not really true, if he said current then yes but I know he's not the original principal. Hifumi freaked out because he's had a nightmare like this once and it was funny, it was an odd start to a welcoming ceremony but I was glad because it was similar to the ones in my home world.
Monokuma asked for some respect before saying his name and telling us he was the principal again because of this, I like how Monokuma is acting because even though the controller is insane it was nice to have a little oddity in my life again. He told us to give him our snappiest good morning and Kiyotaka was the only one who did scaring Touko in the process before she told not to encourage Monokuma.
He said it'll have to do and I was glad before he welcomed us to our new living quarters and told us we have to keep our 'freshness' sealed in, I was about to speak before Mukuro said to hold on most likely to stop me from continuing. What Monokuma said about this being out permanent living quarters, after saying that we'll be staying here for the rest of our lives, shocked us but I was holding in laughter at Monokuma's dance on the podium.
He told us we have an astronomical budget and our needs will be satisfied when Leon asked if he was serious and Chihiro looked like he was about to cry for the same reason. Sayaka asked about our family's before Mukuro just said no repeatedly before I asked about the plates in the rooms which he didn't lie about when he said I was correct about them being there to keep us in.
He told us that no matter how much we kick and scream no one can hear us, Taeko apologized for saying that she finds staying here for the rest of our natural lives was a little bit less than ideal. Monokuma laughed at the idea of us being stuck here for our natural lives before telling us there was a loop-hole which Byakuya asked him to elaborate for us.
He told us that the person who commits murder without getting caught will be able to get out of here scot free: beat, stab, club, slice, torch, crush, strangle, curse, etc. were ways of killing that Monokuma mentioned. He asked us what we have in common with a salmon when he picked up a struggling one once he was done listing saying that it was because we don't have a clue how much of a sensation we give him when we slaughter the other.
He asked if there was anything hotter than a grim and gore filled slaughter and I can think of a lot but I won't say them out loud since it wasn't a question meant to be answered. Leon told him he was crazy and Sayaka asked why he would do this before Hifumi verbally agreed calling it uncalled for which maddened Monokuma.
He told us whether we like it or not it's the truth and that we should be happy he's letting us get away with murder before 'strutting' down the walkway saying that we should start plotting before Mondo threatened him which was stupid. Monokuma made fun of his Punch Perm and that made Mondo lift him into the air because he was mad before Monokuma said that a school rule was to not harm the principal in any situation.
Monokuma demon eyes started blinking red and beeping making Mondo ask what the noise was before Kyoko told him to toss Monokuma which I was glad for when he did because Monokuma is armed with a bomb. He exploded in mid-air scaring and shocking everyone before I said 'man I wonder' wanting to know what will happen if I told them what this school really is.
I want to tell them that it was okay but I think that'll be suspicious and I don't want to be killed just for being that, plus I don't have any proof. Mondo said that it could've blown his face off when really it could've taken his whole head or upper body.
When Chihiro asked if the 'teddy bear' was gone Monokuma said he wasn't a teddy bear and then his name again before he appeared on the podium confusing and shocking the others. He told us that it was a verbal warning when it wasn't even verbal but physical; he told us that instead of written warnings we go straight to punishment scaring the others again.
Taeko said the obvious on how to get out of here before Kiyotaka said the obvious about this being 'bogus' or whatever before I saw Chihiro about to cry saying it must be a joke. "It may be a joke but I'm more concerned about someone taking it seriously" he said making me sigh at the surrounding student's paranoia "murder really isn't my thing so you can count me out of it" I answered Byakuya's worries.
"What do you mean?" he asked me in a curious tone "I was accused of killing my family even though I was also a victim of the same culprit so I don't really want to see any more bloodshed after that" I said getting weird looks. "I never heard that, who killed them?" Sayaka asked me making me sigh "an owner of a world renowned corporation, because he's a rich adult and I was a not-so-rich kid I would've been the one put in prison" I said and everyone nodded.
We were all still in the gym after that trying to find an escape when I saw Sakura punch the wall as hard as she could but as anyone could guess it didn't work, I turned on my notebook and saw that my ID picture looked more like a mug shot. Yasuhiro said that he was liking the digital notebooks before Aoi jumped down from the bleachers leaning on the railing and telling us that it didn't work and that we still got nothing.
Mondo said the same thing then kicking the podium Monokuma kept jumping on earlier before Kiyotaka said that we have to persevere for the exit to show itself. Aoi and Sakura agreed that staying positive was our best bet and so did Leon but Byakuya said he preferred to search alone turning all our heads to him.
I didn't really want to search though because I finally remembered everything that occurred over the past two years. Mukuro asked Byakuya if searching alone was smart which I think isn't a good idea.
He told us that he thinks that searching alone is better because he doesn't like the thought of being in a room full of people who might want to kill him before telling us that only a fool would deny his reasoning making Mondo confront him. Mondo told him he can't just do what he wants which isn't wrong but then again Byakuya didn't have to anger him by calling him a narwhal which caused Mondo to threaten him.
"Guys we don't have time to fight right now" I said trying to stop them from doing so "I do feel bad for what happened to you" Mondo told me raising his fist and I really hate that he feels bad for me but he continued on. "I don't need a lecture from you on teamwork or some other subject" he told me before he punched me bringing him back to his senses but bringing everyone on alert from the tense situation.
When I opened my eyes again I saw I was in my room and wasn't surprised when I saw Sayaka by my bed, I sat up when she told me welcome back. "What happened with Byakuya and Mondo?" I asked not pretending that all of what happened wasn't a dream because it isn't.
She told me this was my room which I already knew so I didn't look around to check it out because of that "We all get our own apparently" she told me and I nodded. "I got Ohgami and the others to carry you in here" she told me not really answering my question but I'll take it as they're done fighting.
She told me that the others are tearing the school apart right now before she told me she stayed because she was worried but I could tell it was actually because she didn't want to work. I thanked her before I thought about the time that she and I were in school which was two years ago, I was thankful for that to because that means that we really did only lose two years of memories.
"Don't be like that" she told me confusing me before I asked her what she meant, she told me that she read my mind which she must not be that good at otherwise she wouldn't have said that. "I'm glad you're here it'd be really bad if I didn't know anyone" she told me and I'm guessing that means everyone lost all their memories from that time to.
All of us are actually friends while some of us are more than friends, me and Byakuya for example are more than friends, before this happened. I got up and put my shoes back on before I heard her ask if I was feeling better and I nodded saying I was.
"I can't be the only one resting while the others work" I said and she thought about it before telling me that she'll help to because I'll 'need a gal Friday' which made no sense to me. She grabbed my hands after she explained what it meant telling me that it'll be fun and that we'll be like detectives, I didn't like that idea so much since Info Breaking is more my style.
We walked into the cafeteria after that and I noticed Byakuya was sitting alone, I frowned at that because he always used to sit alone at lunch before I decided to sit next to him one day. Aoi asked how I was feeling which I smiled at telling her I haven't felt better before sitting down next to Mondo who said we should chalk punching me to being stress induced.
"It's no big deal and I already know it was, as well as pent up anger at the situation" I said before Taeko mentioned her doubt about someone killing in front of witnesses. Kiyotaka called the meeting to order telling us to inform the rest about what we've found so far: Mondo has apparently been kicking the entrance door for an hour and it wouldn't budge, it never even left a dent.
When he said it was as hard as iron I smiled trying not to laugh when Taeko said it being 'hard as iron' would make sense since it is made of iron. Sakura told us that at the end of the main hallway is a staircase leading to another floor but Aoi said that there was a security gate blocking access to it which doesn't surprise me.
Kyoko said it was strange that some parts of the building are off limits and from the fact that Junko likes to see others struggle I'd say the parts of the school that are locked are actually places that will be unlocked with each murder that's committed. Hifumi was next to speak and said the dorm rooms were nice with firm beds, good lighting, and stylish décor, if there wasn't security cameras and iron plates he would give the rooms five stars.
Chihiro said he searched the Kitchen and said we have enough food to last an army before Hifumi said there surely can't be enough to feed fifteen people for the rest of their lives. He told us that the fridge gets restocked every day for how much we've eaten the day prior and that Monokuma told him so causing Mukuro and Leon to jump before Mukuro said 'you saw him' in a shocked tone.
"He appeared when I was searching the Kitchen but vanished before I could see where he went" he said and they looked bummed because of it. Kiyotaka asked if there was anything else and Touko said 'no' before mentioning how we're still stuck here.
"We know the limitations we have on our imprisonment and that we'll be here for a long time" Taeko said making Touko break down which was funny and I tried not to laugh at it. Byakuya said that Monokuma already told us that and that there was no other reason to kill someone in a stoic tone which wasn't true but Mukuro said that that wasn't funny.
Leon gripped his hair asking what we were supposed to do which Taeko answered with 'we have to adapt' which was similar to what we agreed to when the disaster happened that it was almost scary. I'm guessing she's the one most likely to have someone kill for her or to kill someone herself so I'm guessing that's all a lie.
She explained that these weren't bad arrangements and that, when Mukuro asked if we just had to deal with it, in the game of survival it's the ones who are the most willing to adapt that win. When she got everyone's attention she said she has a modest suggestion for everyone which Mondo asked what it was before she explained pointing to a rule in the notebook.
She suggested that at night we all stay in our rooms till curfew is done which was very simple because that's the point of a curfew. Touko asked what the point in that would be and she explained. She said night will be the hardest on our nerves and every sound will make us think that something bad will happen scaring the three to her left.
"It's only means of enforcement is peer pressure as well as nerves so of course this is self-imposed" she said finishing her speech. On Day 2 Sayaka and I found the Storage Room which was blocked off and the Multimedia Room.
Day 3 we found, which was the most useful to me since the school is different than when we first started here, the Laundry Room and the Bath House. The Bath House had 'Keep Out' tape blocking it off, this was the part that was the most useful because I used my Info Vision to see that there were no cameras in the room.
We were in the Cafeteria again and Leon was scratching his head saying that no matter how often we look there's no escape, it was said in an angry tone to, the others agreed heaving irritated sigh. Chihiro started crying saying that no one was coming to rescue us before Aoi, the ever positive one, told Chihiro that someone's bound to find us eventually.
This brought Touko to think so to before Mukuro asked if she thought that to be true "the police are bound to find us eventually, we have been gone three whole days after all" she told us before Monokuma appeared. He told us that if we want out of here we have to kill someone since he was bored to tears, I told him he was crazy if he thinks he can trick us into killing someone.
I shouldn't have what I did because it gave Monokuma/Junko an idea and from the rambling he shouldn't ever think. Leon asked what he was talking about and he said motivation before telling us to go to the Multimedia Room for a brief presentation.
The Multimedia Room was a room I think Chihiro goes to a lot but I only heard him mention it in passing so I'm unsure. We were given disks before we sat down and put head phones on. When the clip loaded up I saw it was a video of my deceased boyfriend.
He had his shoulder length black hair in a low ponytail with a red hair tie, a black tank top, an opened white leather jacket that stops at the bottom of his rib cage, white leather pants with a red studded belt, and black high tops. He was smiling at the camera saying that he would be really supportive of me as well as ecstatic if I got enrolled into Hope's Peak in five years, it was taken in front of his dessert beehive home in Akuma no Mura in our world.
He had died that summer seven years ago and that was the next image, it was his funeral but the one after that was his memorial being in ruin. We had him buried in this world because he wanted it that way: his grave was ruined, his body dug up but only to where you can see the skull, the right kneecap, the left foot, and most of the rib cage.
There were wilted Daisies, Poppies, and Star of Bethlehem's scattered on and around his bones. I was crying by the end of it but remembered that this was something that already happened and not something that will if I don't kill someone, I was broken from my thoughts though by Sayaka who was having a panic attack.
Her disk contained her friends/bandmates breaking up or dying which I can tell is hard when Monokuma came on the screen laughing before Kyoko asked what he gets out of this. He answered that after saying the question out loud, he said our despair is his/her payoff making Sayaka run out of the room before I ran after her.
I caught her wrist before teller her to calm down when I did catch her wrist and she did after she figured that I wouldn't let go. "None of you know what I do and I promise none of you are going to die" I said getting her attention and I let her cry in my chest because she lunged at me then.
A/N: Hello, I finished re-writing this at 2:25 A.M. on July 13, 2016. I re-wrote this because someone said that I'm not descriptive enough with the chapters so I do hope this is descriptive enough.
1) A trademark perm that's a crossover between a pompadour and a 20th century Japanese style called a Punch Perm
2) By the way I know it's different in the anime and is actually Genocider Sho but I got the idea from Dangan Ronpa: Again by Rigze
3) Sorry but I'm having his parents have names since they'll probably be mentioned in the sequel Actuality. Masato means "Commander" or at least that's what I found when I searched Japanese boy names.
4) Chiyoko means 'child of a thousand generations'
5) It's Latin for (Grey) Heron but all the animals and words in his original world are pronounced in Latin but are in satanic symbols 39 script, or at least that's what it is when I searched it on google and it was the first result in images. And I know it was a Crane but I couldn't find the Latin Name under Celtic words in google.
Daisy- Innocence
Poppy- Consolation
Star of Bethlehem- Hope
I do hope you like this chapter and story and will continue reading.
