(AN: This is my first fanfiction ever, actually my first time writing a story too so hopefully it goes well. It's an original story with 16 of my own Ocs. I've also incorporated soundtracks from the original SDR2, so feel free to listen to those as you read through! You can search for those on Youtube, cause I'll only be putting the title of the OSTs. I appreciate criticism too, both good and bad so shoot me with whatever you have!)

Soundtrack: Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

Walking towards the towering building known as Hope's Peak Academy, I grinned to myself. It took so many years of practice before my efforts got recognised by this school, and its something I'm really proud of.

The friends who I've made till now were going to be left behind though, and that's something that I'll be quite sad about. They were people that helped me through my worst and best of times, so I doubt I'll forget them. Hopefully we'll keep in touch.

My name is Hideki Yu, and I'm 16, turning 17 this year. I have a family of four, my parents and my sister, and I must say we lived quite happily with one another. They've supported me since I was young, giving me lessons on how to...

Wait a second...

I kind of forgot what they taught me to do.

Why was I here in the first place?

What was my talent?

As I looked up once again to the huge building familiar to me as Hope's Peak, the sun momentarily blinded my eyes, forcing me to close them. And as I opened them again, what greeted me was not where I was a few seconds ago. I looked briefly around me, and came to one conclusion.

Soundtrack: A Dead End to the Ocean's Aroma

I was alone.

Have you ever experienced what it's like to wake up with no idea of where you are or what happened before you awoke?

That's how I felt when I opened my eyes only to be greeted by a depressing gray backdrop that I had never seen before. I was sitting in the middle of a room, with nothing but a chair that I was on and the four gray walls that surrounded me. On one of them, was a prison like door.

"A prison cell…?" I gathered.

No way, there was no way I done anything to land me in one.

I then closed my eyes for a while, trying to remember any clue of what happened to me before, to no avail, before I opened my eyes again.

Wait, my thoughts are a blur.

Let me recollect them first to make some sense of what just happened; this morning I woke up extra early , then I showered and ate breakfast. Afterwhich I said goodbye to my family and headed off for Hope's Peak, and as I arrived at the entrance of the school, I forgot my talent and then I got somehow transported into this room.

This makes no sense at all.

Nothing. That was all that came to my mind. Whenever I tried to recall what happened after… I would have the wierdest mindblock. The most recent thing I could think of…

"Wasn't I in front of the Hope's Peak-" I thought outloud, before being interrupted by an earpiercing beep, followed by an announcement.

"Attention all students! Rise and shine! It's time for your opening ceremony, however before you bastards can attend it, you must prove yourselves worthy! Afterwhich, you'll be notified of the location to gather! Seek a way out of the room you're in! Upupupu…"

What the hell was that? Did he just call us bastards? Oh… right. As I was saying, the last thought I had was me being outside the academy, everything else was a blur after that. This must be their test to see whether we were worthy of entering Hope's Peak, so I suppose it's only natural.

I took a quick look around the room once more. The four walls had mundane gray paint on them. The chair I was sitting on was a metallic one, gray as well. Lastly, one of the walls had a door similar to those used in prison cells.

What's with this school and the colour gray…?

I decided to try the door first. To my surprise, it opened without a hitch.

Was this a joke?

I sighed, and then looked at the narrow corridor in front of me, at the same time, many of the other doors opened in unison, creating a squeaking sound which my ears didn't particularly enjoy. Others whom I assume were students managed to draw the same conclusion shortly afterwards, that we were all in similar rooms and had heard the same announcement.

"Is this supposed to be a joke?" One of the students asked.

That was the same thing I thought of just moments ago…

"What just happened?" A girl who looked scared voiced out.

As I was about to add another question to the already growing list, we got interrupted by another announcement.

"Ahem, I see that you all have completed the first challenge! Congratulations! If you may, I would like to cordially invite each and everyone of you Ultimates to proceed to the hall for our entrance ceremony! See you there!"

What kind of a trial was that? Any normal human being would know to open the door, no? Anyway, with so many other students, I felt more at ease.

Soundtrack: Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

As we made our way there with more instructions from the one making announcements, I could tell that many of us were uneasy about what had just happened.

We passed by many questionable rooms and areas, noticing there was no one else around before we finally arrived at the hall.

This school is huge… not to mention the hall looked like something out of a movie show. It was ridiculous just how big it was for a simple gathering area.

On the way here, some were keeping to themselves, while others seemed to recognise former friends, already forming cliques. As for me, I had no idea who all these people were, and had no one to talk to. I assumed the ones who chose not to make chatter were also skeptical of this whole setup so far.

I looked around once more, but only managed to find one familiar face. Of course, starring in many shows and having been voted the best soccer player is…

SATOYA IWAO

ULTIMATE SOCCER STAR
Appearance: Sporting black hair with short braids. On him were a bright red jersey, blue shorts, long black socks and soccer cleats. In the middle of his jersey is a number 2.

"Hey, do I know you from somewhere?" He looked over at me, probably because he noticed me staring.

"Ehhh, no you wouldn't. I'm Hideki Yu though, nice to meet you." I said in return.

"Right back at you, I'm Satoya Iwao, you can call me Satoya if you like, like many of my fans. I really don't mind it all that much!"

His energetic behaviour was getting a little too much for me to handle. I gave him a meek smile and approached another guy to move away from Iwao.

"So… is he too noisy for you?" He asked.

"Yea. How did you guess?" I said, in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, name's Ogyu Aki. I'm the Ultimate Psychiatrist after all. Guess we're going to be together for a while eh?"

OGYU AKI
ULTIMATE PSYCHIATRIST
Appearance: Bespectacled and his hair neatly combed to one side, he reminds me of a bookworm. Looks like he didn't get my sense of sarcasm.

"Hey Aki, finally got yourself a friend?"

"That's a bit rude of you. Now what did I say about treating others nicely?" Aki rebutted.

"This is Ekiguchi Settan, an acquintance of mine."

"Hey, I resent that!" Settan raised his voice, and pouted.

EKIGUCHI SETTAN
ULTIMATE MARKSMAN
Appearance: Green clothes. Probably for good camouflage. Also has a pistol in his left side pocket. Wait a minute, a pistol?!

Why does he have a pistol in his pocket, isn't that illegal?!

"Uh can I ask a question?"

"Yeah, go ahead! Is it about my war experience? If it is then sorry to disappoint you, but I have never killed anyone before! Just so you know, I'm an honourable man who would never let anything die, friend or foe."

After he finished he looked at me triumphantly, as if expecting me to say something.

"Actually, I meant to ask about the pistol in your side pocket though I might have an idea of why you have one already…"

He frowned and blinked at me.

"Oh, that. I'm the Ultimate Marksman after all, the government allowed me to have a pistol in my possession. This isn't illegal or anything, don't worry man," he finished with a chuckle. "So, what's your talent?"

As he finished his sentence I suddenly remembered about my memory loss.

That's right… All these people here who enrolled had special talents which allowed them to be selected for Hope's Peak Academy and I was one of them. What on earth was my talent?

"To be honest with you, I kind of forgot."

"Eh?! You forgot your talent?" Aki said, surprised.

"That's right! This man over here forgot what his talent was! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Hideki Yu!"

Soundtrack: Re_Despair Syndrome

At this moment, everyone turned to look at me briefly, before the stage to see who just said that. To my horror, or surprise, it was a stuffed bear, half black, half white with creepy red eyes holding the microphone.

"Hey you bastards, do you know no respect? Greet your headmaster when you see him you bonobos!" He shouted into the mic, creating an ear piercing sound. "You can call me Monokuma, because why not!"

"Wait, WHAT?!"

"A talking stuffed animal?"

"Aww, isn't it cute!"

"Our headmaster?"

Many voices started talking at the same time, however, those voices were like white noise to me while I approached the podium, only curious about my memory loss.

"How did you know about my memory loss? What's my talent? Where are we? Where's the rest of the school? How did we-"

"Hold on a second! So many questions yet you didn't ask politely!"

"Please?" I pleaded, deciding that my pride was less important than what I wanted to know.

"No! AHAHAHAHHAHA! The look on your face was priceless Yu! Why not you try to recall for yourself, though I doubt you can remember. Try asking the others for help! I have something to do so I'll be back in 30 minutes, try your best till then!"

Before I could continue probing for answers, below his feet opened a small traphole, and he fell through it. The hole closed up shortly after.

Soundtrack: Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

After staring at the place where Monokuma was for a few seconds, I realised I was getting nowhere. It was apparent that he knew about how my memory loss came about but wasn't going to tell me anything. I decided to ask the rest of the people whether they knew anything about it.

"Ehhhh?! I think you came to the wrong person, I'm not all that good with this memory stuff," she said. "I can help you with languages though, I'm realllllllllllly good at that."

OUSHIMA MAKO
ULTIMATE POLYGLOT
Appearance: Faired skinned and blonde hair, she doesn't look like a local, though her tact for Japanese seems to suggest otherwise.

"It's fine, thanks anyway," I said.

Just then, a girl wearing a nurse outfit approached me, as if she had something to say.

"Uh… so do you happen to know anything about my memory loss?" I asked.

"Yes! I do. Memory loss can be caused by alcohol, tobacco, drug use, sleep deprivation, stress-"

Before she continued she realised that wasn't the answer I was looking for. I didn't mean to make that face but I was just dumbfounded about my problem. I guess she noticed that I wasn't paying all that much attention.

"Uhm.. that wasn't the answer you were looking for?…" she asked timidly all of a sudden.

"It's okay. Anyway, my name is Hideki Yu, nice to meet you," I said, as I held out my hand to her.

"Eep! I mean, my name is Fushieda Minako. I'm the Ultimate Nurse and you can come to me if you have any problems," she ended, smiling rather awkwardly while shaking my hand.

FUSHIEDA MINAKO
ULTIMATE NURSE
Appearance: She looks like one of those nurses you see from a movie, except that she's wearing a gold choker which appears to be closed.

"Thanks for the offer, hopefully no one needs your help anytime soon," I said.

"Huhhhh?! Does that mean I'm a good for nothing now?! I don't want to be useless, I want to be of help to everyone and-"

"Nooo, that's not what I meant. No one should get injured here, you know," I said with a smile. "I should go ask the others about my condition now."

Getting the hint, she waved goodbye to me (even though we were still technically in the same room), as I decided who to approach next. There was a small group of people gathering around something, or someone and apparently it turned out to be the latter as I went closer.

"And so… it's Ace of Spades, no?"

"I guess they don't call you the Ultimate Magician for nothing huh?"

Just as I raised my hand to get his attention, he asked: "Who's next?"; the other people turned to look at me and they all assumed that I wanted to be a part of his next magic trick.

"Nonono, its not like that, I just wanted to ask if any of you here knew anything about my condition?"

"Hm, I don't really know, after all most of us if not everyone other than you still knows their talent, the only thing we aren't sure of is how we got into those prison like rooms at the start," one of them said. "Name's Shimamura Keisuke."

"And I'm Takara Hana, I'm the Ultimate Choir Lead, so you can approach me for singing lessons if you want anytime!"

"Dazai Kyoshi is what they call me, but I would prefer if you call me Daddy. After all, I'm the Ultimate Bodybuilder!" His smile was extremely warm, and I was surprised by his personality. I guess I shouldn't judge books by their covers. I mean, given his stature, his gentle demeanor wasn't something you would expect.

SHIMAMURA KEISUKE
ULTIMATE PARKOURIST
Appearance: He has dark blue hair in a neatly kept fringe. A pair of headphones were on his neck, and what was most eye catching was his rainbow coloured wristband. Is this what I think it means?

TAKARA HANA
ULTIMATE CHOIR LEAD
Appearance: With rather long brown hair tied up in a ponytail, her innocent outlook seems to be complementary to the light brownish dress she's wearing.

DAZAI KYOSHI
ULTIMATE BODY BUILDER
Appearance: With an extremely tight fit shirt for his size and skinny fit pants to boot, he looks ready to explode. Has rather short brown hair with a sloped hairstyle.

Did Keisuke swing that way?

No way.

I decided to put that question at the back of my head and ask him personally later, though I guess some others might have had the same idea as me as well… the rainbow coloured wristband was awfully suspicious though.

"So no one here knows anything about it either… thanks anyway," I ended, trying not to sound depressed. After all, I was the only one who wasn't sure of why I was here, and having no talent made me feel out of place. "I'm Hideku Yu, though you all probably already heard from earlier."

"Yea, we did," Keisuke said. "Say, Yu would you wanna help me train sometime? I would like a buddy to help me out with my jumps and perfecting rolls you know?"

He looked at me with puppy eyes, how could I say no?

"Ehh I guess not…? Only if I'm free that is!" I quickly ended.

"You do know you aren't obliged to help him right? He's been going around saying that to everyone he introduced himself to, so don't take it to heart Yu!" Hana said.

"Hey, don't go around ruining my reputation like that, you're extremely mean for a nice looking girl."

"You know I was just stating the facts right? And the fact that you tried to hit on me didn't help either," Hana ended, while sticking out her tongue at him.

"You two ought to just get together already," Kyoshi chipped in. It was at this moment I realised he was carrying free weights on both of his hands, which looked larger than the largest 20kg I've usually seen around in gyms. "Got to maintain my muscle mass, you know? No time for fooling around kiddo!"

I couldn't control my laughter as we were talking, how long ago was it since I laughed so hard? It was at this moment that I realised that the magician wasn't with us anymore. I noticed that he had retreated to a corner of the room and was playing with his cards. His head was held low and he looked rather downcast. Keisuke noticed it shortly after I did.

"Yu, I think you should confront him, he must be feeling rather sad about how you stole his audience," Keisuke said, with a serious expression all of a sudden. "I think he might be one of those types who keeps to themselves, you know? So its better if we don't leave him alone."

I nodded and approached the magician. I stood in front of him for a while, before he realised I was there.

"First you took away my audience, now you come to disturb my practice, what are you, an idiot?"

Surprised by the sudden outburst, I immediatedly apologised.

"I didn't realise you felt like that… I'm sorry," I said, extending my hand towards him, trying to make things better. "My name's Hideki Yu, hopefully we can get off on a better start now?"

"Hopefully you'll learn to be more considerate of others' feelings," he replied, as he shook my hand. "Azai Kin is my stage name, so you can call me just that."

AZAI KIN
ULTIMATE MAGICIAN
Appearance: Donning a classic fedora, white hair with grey streaks extends barely past his eyebrows on the left side of his face. A fresh white shirt with a black coat and long black pants, he seems very professional. His attitude however, didn't strike me as very nice.

"If you want to ask me about your memory loss, I'm afraid I can't help you. Now could you leave me to practice?" He asked nonchantly.

"Right, I'll be off then."

He nodded as I walked off, reverting his attention back to the stack of cards in his hand. I felt guilty for making him feel lonely without even realising it. Guess I should be more aware of what's happening around me huh…

"Uh oh, looks like you made the magician angry! Whatcha gonna do now pal?!"

Those were the words of a rather small girl who probably saw what happened and overheard our conversation.

"I didn't mean to, like I didn't realise I was!" I said in return, honestly trying to reason with her.

"Hrmmmmph." She stomped her feet on the ground for a little while before someone else put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, don't be so rude, he's going to be our classmate!" The one who calmed her down said. "I'm sorry, but she gets grumpy when she can't watch her anime or read her manga. It's kind of an addiction to her and I guess you can call this her withdrawal symptom?" She forced a smile, trying to get me to forgive the small girl.

Anime and manga… Oh. So she's one of those people who devote most of their life to that form of entertainment. Not that I judged her for it, I've personally watched some myself which were amazingly good, so I could probably understand why she likes it so much.

"It's fine, making Azai mad was actually my fault so I don't blame her for thinking like that," I said, as I turned to the little girl. "Can I know your name?"

"I'm the Ultimate Otaku, Koike Yui. Say anything about my anime or manga and you won't live to see another day." She stared into my eyes, which made me feel like my life was in danger.

KOIKE YUI
ULTIMATE OTAKU
Appearance: Her anime backpack looks a little big on her, given her petite size. Looks like a child but her light purple dyed hair and reddish black dress proves she's not.

"After what you just said I doubt I'll try." I said, chuckling a bit. She looked away and pouted, still holding onto the other girl's hand. "And you are?"

"Oh me? I'm Inaba Tamaki, just a babysitter. What a talent, eh? I don't really care all that much but children naturally approach me."

INABA TAMAKI
ULTIMATE BABYSITTER
Appearance: Her short black hair, light blue shirt and dark coloured jeans just scream out one word: Plain.

"It's a much better talent than being talentless though," she added. "Oops, that wasn't meant for you!"

"Ouch. That clearly was meant for me. I feel real hurt right now," I said, while pretending to clutch at my chest area in pain. "Someone, please help me!"

I regretted what I just said shortly after, as Minako rushed over to me.

"Oh my gosh what happened Yu, is it a heart attack, did someone hit you, is your breathing steady, wait let me check your pulse, I think you need CPR!"

She spoke so fast and flustered that I had trouble registering what was going on, and took a bit of time before I could tell her about it just being a joke.

"Haha relax Minako, that was just a figure of speech! But thanks, I really appreciate it," I smiled, trying to make her feel less awkward. "If anything really does happen though, I'll ask for your help okay?"

Blushing and nodding, she skipped back to the table she was at with Aki, continuing to talk about what I could only presume as medical related topics.

"What a goody two shoes," Tamaki puffed. "I hate people who act like that. They try so hard to be in people's good books but really, they just want acceptance and attention."

"I get what you mean, but I don't think Minako's like that. She's a genuinely nice person."

"I guess only time will tell. We have 2 years together after all. C'mon Yui, let's go see more magic tricks." She pulled Yui away from me and made her way over to the magician. I made a mental note not to offend Tamaki, and then went over to the table next to where Minako and Aki were sitting, where a girl was sleeping peacefully.

She looks so graceful… as I moved my finger closer to her forehead to flick it, her hand suddenly rose up and got me in a thumb lock.

"OWWW! What was that for?" I semi screamed.

"You very well know what that was for you pervert… *yawn* now if you'll excuse me I have some sleeping to catch up on…"

She closed her eyes and her facial expression changed back to the graceful one a few seconds ago, only to be woken up by me shaking my hand again.

"Sorry, but could you let go of my hand? I only meant to wake you up with a flick... Unless you want to continue touching me that is."

As soon as I said that her eyes widened and slapped my hand away, whimpering the word 'pervert' before going back to sleep again.

"Can I at least have your name?" I asked, bothering her once more.

"If I tell you, would you stop disturbing me?"

I nodded my head and watched her intently.

"Sigh. Seyama Kunie. I really have to sleep now so please go away."

SEYAMA KUNIE
ULTIMATE SLEEPER
Appearance: With her onesie dark blue pyjama outfit decorated with bunnies, she looks ready to go to bed. Her blonde hair however, was clipped neatly to one side.

Fulfilling my part of the agreement, I left her alone to her dreams and tried to make small talk with a guy standing alone. I think he might be shy, or lonely?

"Sup, I'm Hideki Yu, you?"

"Kitamura. Kitamura Shoko. Say, have you ever wondered about how to deal with people you hate?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"Uhh… try to ignore them?" I guessed.

"… That wasn't the answer I was looking for. I'm the Ultimate Geologist, if you want me to believe something, you better prove it first."

KITAMURA SHOKO
ULTIMATE GEOLOGIST
Appearance: Grey shirt, brown vest and red pants, but most eye catching is his stark red hair.

"Hahaha," I laughed awkwardly, wondering why I tried to talk to him. "I have to ask the others about something now." I ended, trusting that he wouldn't know about my talent as well.

I pointed over randomly to 2 girls standing by each other and triggered a handwave from him, as if he got my intentions.

I pretended to jog over to where 2 girls were standing together; one was scanning the room as if analyzing people, and the other appeared to be thinking about something, with one hand on her chin.

"Hi, would you have any idea of how I forgot about my talent?" I asked, already expecting a no.

"I believe it would be proper to introduce yourself before we move on to such questions. It's not right to rush things, you know," The bespectacled girl said. "Here, I'll start, I'm Takekawa Yukiko, Ultimate Secretary. Just follow my phrasing okay?"

TAKEKAWA YUKIKO
ULTIMATE SECRETARY
Appearance: White buttoned shirt and long beige pants. She also has dark brown hair let down neatly. Her glasses made her look extra smart.

"Uhhh okay, I'm Hideki Yu, Ultimate… I forgot?" I tried.

"Sigh, forget it. I have no answer to your question anyway, though if there's anything else you might need help with I might be of use." She said, as she continued scanning the room as if looking for someone, but the more important thing was how I felt like she was looking through me. Like I was invisible…

I turned to the other girl, who appeared deep in thought.

"Hello?" I waved my hand in front of her face, before she looked up to face me. Her eyes lit up the moment mine met with hers, but she didn't say anything about it. I could see she tried to hide her reaction as she reverted to her poker face.

"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked.

"Well its about my memory loss, I was wondering whether you knew anything about it."

"Nope. Not at all," she replied a little quickly. "By the way, you are…?"

"Hideki Yu, didn't you hear from Monokuma earlier?" I asked, giving her a strange look. She nodded, as if confirming something.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I was thinking about everything since we arrived here, so I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings. I'm Takasu Kaneko, Ultimate Sleuth."

TAKASU KANEKO
ULTIMATE SLEUTH
Appearance: Her eyes drew me in; they were a deep shade of purple, which was pretty entrancing. So much so that I didn't notice much else about her other than her face and neatly braided hair.

"Woah, are you one of those special agents from the Japanese FBI?" I curiously prodded.

"No. I'm more of a spy, or I'd like to think so," she sighed, apparently bothered by my words. "I would prefer it if you don't refer to me as a detective."

"Sure, whatever floats your boat," I grinned. "It's been 30 minutes, shouldn't Monokuma be showing up soon?"

As soon as I asked that question she pointed to the podium, where Monokuma was sleeping (or pretending to), right by the microphone. I walked at a quick pace and hit the bear on its head.

"OUCH! Who did that to me? I'll have you executed!" It screamed. "Oh, its just you Yu, I thought I was being attacked by a hunter for my delicious fur!"

"Why would you think- Ugh, never mind that. I asked everyone about my talent but none of them had any idea about why I forgot it?"

"Oh that, that isn't important for now! What's more important is how we're going to play this game!"

"Can you please answer my question, I'm not supposed to be here without a talent!" I said, getting annoyed with his diversions from my questions. "More importantly, where is the rest of the school? Aren't there supposed to be teachers, janitors, even other students?"

"I'm not going to answer such mundane questions which have no relation to my game, Yu! After all, we don't need a talent nor teachers to play this game! It's a survival game after all! UPUPUPUPUPU! AHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" He finished, laughing hysterically.

Soundtrack: Re_Distrust

"What do you mean?" Kaneko suddenly voiced out.

"Simple, you are all going to kill one another! It's a game of life and death, win or lose, kill or be killed! Isn't it wonderful?"

It took a moment for me to process whatever it just said. No way, was this supposed to be a joke?

"Hahaha that was a great one Monokuma! Now where's the secret camera, I'm pretty sure we all know this is a prank by now, right?" Keisuke said.

"Huh? Secret prank show? No, there's none of those! Though there are cameras spying on you 24/7, but those don't matter. Oops, I said way too much this early in the game!" Monokuma said.

"In this killing school life, you will have to kill to graduate! Once you do, a class trial would be held, and if you managed to not get voted… the blackened will be able to leave this school and survive, while the rest get executed! But if the blackened is found to be guilty, then only he will be executed and the rest will survive! Doesn't that sound great?"

"Wait, can't we just leave where we came from?" Yukiko said.

"Yea, I had enough of this psycho wasting our time!" Settan added.

Settan made a brisk walk for the door, where we all followed him back to the entrance of Hope's Peak, except that instead of a door, all we found was…

A wall.

"Now do yall believe me? I've blocked up every entrance and exit there is to the school, so there's no way any of you are getting out! And until you kill one another, no one can ever leave this place!" Monokuma laughed, which echoed throughout the big hallways of the school. It seemed he was using the speaker systems to talk to us. "Well if you don't believe me, go ahead and explore, we have all the time in the world!"

We decided to ignore him and continued searching for an exit. We split up into groups and planned to meet up back at the hall once we were done exploring or had found an out. As we explored more and more of the school, we realised that what he said was true. It was slowly starting to sink in that we got kidnapped by a psychopath, and that we were in a replica of Hope's Peak.

After all, wouldn't people be coming to save us by now if this were the real school?

Making my way back to the hall with Minako and Keisuke, I could tell that both of them were quite exhausted from everything that happened today.

"Say… did you believe whatever the bear said?" I asked, trying to comfort them both.

"I didn't, but I think I might, if we don't find an exit soon." Keisuke said.

Minako just whimpered and held onto my hand. Of course she would be scared, we got kidnapped by an insane person who would go to great lengths just to make a replica of the school.

We finally arrived back at the hall, where Monokuma was apparently waiting for us as well. And what he said next was the truth we tried to delay so much.

"So, shall we begin? With your high school killing lives!"

(AN: I'd like to believe that it'd be hard for people like myself to remember the names of people and whatever talents they have, especially since there aren't any pictures, so I added their talents here! They'll be at the end of every chapter so I hope you do take the time to read them if you have trouble remembering like myself.

Anyways, how was that for a first chapter? I think I'm already starting to favour certain characters over others though I'll try to provide equal screen times in later chapters.

Please do let me know your thoughts by reviewing so that I'll be able to adjust my writing style accordingly! Thanks.)
