Prologue: Welcome to Hotel Despair! Part One

It all started with one school… the school known as Hope's Peak Academy… once a prestigious school where only the best of the best got in, it soon became a battleground, where despair ran rampant… the Mastermind of this was a student herself- Junko Enoshima. However, from the ashes rose a hero. A boy by the name of Makoto Naegi… with his boundless hope, he stopped this horrible mastermind not once, but twice.

Years have passed, and the world has been rebuilt from its desperate state…

In the immense northern region of Neo Tokyo, there was a massive and majestic school that rested at the prime peak of real estate. The whole of the campus was a vibrant white, with gray lines running along the buildings, giving a futuristic feeling. This… was none other than Hope's Peak Academy. No, not the old one, but a rebuilt version.

In a particular room in the dorm building, there slept a young man with long snow-white hair and tanned skin. Suddenly, an alarm clock resembling a nekomimi girl started meowing cutely, with the time listed as 6:00 AM. The young man snapped awake, his silver eyes jolting open as he quickly arose from the bed.

-Seran Kouichi: Super Duper High School Mangaka-

He looked around his room, which was what a career artist's room would appear like; the walls plastered with various manga drawings, and the dominant feature being a desk littered with art supplies. He quickly got out of bed and went into his bathroom, a slight look of glee on his face.

A half hour later, Seran Kouichi was walking through the school courtyard. As he walked to the Main Building, he passed by a large, platinum statue, surrounded by five other gold statues. The platinum one was of Makoto Naegi in his youth, sitting upon a throne and a look of victory on his face. Surrounding him were the golden statues of Kyouko Kirigiri, Byakuya Togami, Aoi Asahina, Touko Fukawa, and Yasuhiro Hagakure. Seran looked at the statues in awe for a brief moment; no matter how many times he walked past, he was always impressed by the image of his hero, Makoto. He then shrugged it off and walked into the Main Building, which had a regal air to it; the décor was elegant and sophisticated, with an angelic tone to it.

He made his way to the Gym, where fifteen other students waited. Seran met up with a girl who had lavender hair, with an ahoge protruding from the top, and grayish-green eyes. She was rather plump, but still beautiful.

"Hello, Seran. How are you today?" the girl greeted.

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking, Madoka" Seran responded.

-Madoka Naegi: Super Duper High School Princess-

There was a name that everyone knew all too well. She was the daughter of the World's King and Legendary Hero, Makoto Naegi. She was also the daughter of world-renowned detective and World's Queen Kyouko Naegi. She had been raised to respect all kinds of people, and was very popular with the boys. Her lavish lifestyle and gourmet diet have left her a bit… round, but no one seemed to mind. It added to her charm, in the eyes of most.

However, Seran was cut short when a woman, about 20, wrapped him in a bro-hug. She had long brown hair that was slightly messy, blue eyes, and tanned skin like Seran's. "Wazzap, Koui-chi?" she beamed.

-Miki Hagakure: Super Duper High School Poet-

Miki Hagakure was another Second-Generation hope. She was the daughter of Yasuhiro and Aoi Hagakure. A famous poet, she's always been fond of the supernatural. Being an artist herself, she and Seran were good friends.

However, when she slowly started to rub her hand on Seran's chest, being the pervert she was, she was instantly pimp-slapped by another student; a tall young man with slick black hair, dark-brown eyes, and a strap across his jaw, coming just short of his sideburns.

"Again with your perverted shenanigans, Miki? I tire of having to keep you in check…" he said to the poet.

-Tanzo Myrtille: Super Duper High School Historian-

Tanzo was a well-known historian, who was distant, cold, and above all, well-mannered. Born of a Japanese mother and a French father, he was a very well-mannered fellow, who didn't tolerate Miki's perverted behavior.

Next to show up was a girl with black hair, brown eyes, and a dark skin tone. She wore fake fox ears and a fox tail, and had a backpack stuffed with plush toys. "Why do you gotta be so uptight, Tanzo?" she asked.

-Bu-Ling Mokura: Super Duper High School Cosplayer

Ah, good old Bu-Ling was the life of any party. An excellent cosplayer, she could pull off any character with dead-on accuracy. She was hyperactive, but good-natured. The half-Chinese girl beamed excitedly at Seran. "So, ready for the trip, Seran-tachi?" she asked, wagging her fake tail.

And after that, a young, fourteen-year-old boy showed up. He had wild, spiky black hair, one green eye, and one blue eye. He adjusted the pair of glasses that sat in his hair as he smiled air-headedly. "Hey, guys! What's up?"

-Tetsubaki Koi: Super Duper High School Hacker-

And here we had Tetsubaki Koi. Or, as he preferred to be called, just "Koi". Despite being an air-headed man-ditz, he was actually a skilled hacker. For a good chunk of his life, he worked for the government, and was damn skilled at his craft. He was so good, he was enrolled in Hope's Peak at the tender age of 12. Sadly, though he has the book smarts, his street smarts… left a lot to be desired.

Suddenly, a creepy cackle was heard. The group turned to the source; a girl who was about 15, who had pinkish-purple hair and gray eyes. Her face had little color, save for circles under her eyes, and she wore a crooked smile. "Kekekekeke! I see the group's at play!"

-Gina Higarashi: Super Duper High School Ghost Hunter-

If the Ghostbusters were to ever have a creepy groupie, Gina would definitely be her. Obsessed with ghost-hunting, Gina was very socially-awkward and creepy. However, she was harmless, and the worst thing she'd ever done was make people uncomfortable.

Following the brief discomfort, a young man came in. His hair was long and white, though it had two black patches that looked like Droopy Dog ears, and black eyes. He mainly wore a Judo outfit. He nodded quickly, as to say hello, then went back into a corner.

-Rokuro Yamauchi: Super Duper High School Judoka-

If anyone was more stoic than Rokuro was, the class had yet to meet them. He was a world-famous Judoka, besting even the greatest of fighters in Judo tournaments. He rarely talked, and preferred to people-watch in the distance. Whenever he DID talk, it was in short sentences.

A girl came in afterwards with dark-blue hair that was tied down in a long braid, and green eyes. She was small, but beautiful, and wore glasses and a sweater. She remained silent as she passed the group by.

-Kanako Mitsuru: Super Duper High School Scholar-

The class knew about Kanako what she allowed them to know; almost nothing. Aside from being incredibly intelligent, she was an enigma, never speaking unless necessary. She was also a bit miserly, but no one dared to comment on it.

Just then, a boy with black, medium-length hair had entered, a wide grin on his face. His eyes were covered by his hair as well. "Hey! What's new?" he chimed.

-Hideki Oshiro: Super Duper High School Trickster-

Hard to read, Hideki generally showed his cheerful, optimistic side. He was great with tricks, which helped the police in solving crimes before he enrolled in Hope's Peak.

A girl with white hair and pink eyes entered soon after, doing her best to make an extravagant entrance. "HAHAHA! I was here the whole time!" she exclaimed proudly.

-Kana Komaeda: Super Duper High School Toxicologist-

A renowned toxicologist, Kana loved to make exuberant entrances. In a sense, she was a bit like the former Remnant of Despair, Gundam Tanaka. However, she harbored a deep admiration for Kyouko Naegi, the World's Queen.

The group then noticed a wiry boy with blonde hair and brown eyes. He looked at them and nodded, as to say hello.

-Yoru Okami: Super Duper High School Rationalist-

No matter how you looked at him, Yoru was the straight man of every situation. Having published several essays on Cognitive Theory, Yoru was held in high regard amongst Rhetoric teachers, despite him being homeschooled most of his life. His point of view was entirely objective.

Next up was a 19-year-old young man with brown dreadlocks tied down at his neck, with some being dyed dark orange or crimson, and brown eyes. He simply smiled and waved. "Hello, fellow classmates" he greeted.

-Mokuso Seishin: Super Duper High School Monk-

A devout follower of Yasuhiro Hagakure, Mokuso has been on quite a few pilgrimages. He had studied many faiths, and even the Mystical World under Yasuhiro Hagakure. He was close friends with Miki Hagakure. Always positive and optimistic, he never talked badly about anyone.

As the group was conversing, a young man with blonde hair and purple eyes inched closer to the females of the group… only to get slapped repeatedly by them. "AW, COME ON!" he bellowed.

-Takumi Fujioka: Super Duper High School "Let's Play" Recorder-

No one really knew how Takumi got into Hope's Peak. All he did was make let's plays on YouTube and hit on girls, no matter the circumstance. At this point, Seran felt that the Headmaster only enrolled him in order to fill the character quota of this story… how Seran is able to break the fourth wall, I have no fucking clue- Ahem… sorry about that.

Anyway, a shy girl with short black hair and hawk-like yellow eyes slowly entered the room. She breathed a sigh of relief at Takumi being slapped. "T-That was close…" she said meekly.

-Hibiki Himura: Super Duper High School Sprinter-

Hibiki was… rather mousey, to say the least. Nevertheless, the other students would go to her when they needed help with issues. On top of that, she was an amazing sprinter, winning various marathons… or, so she told the others. But Seran had the faintest suspicion that she wasn't telling the full truth.

With the group enlarged to 15 students, Seran looked around, as did Madoka. After a brief scan of the room, the Princess let out a sigh of relief. "Phew… she's not here… that's good. It wouldn't have been pleasant with HER stench in the room" she muttered. But, as if on cue, a girl with black hair and blue eyes entered the room. She, like Madoka, had an air of importance, but not to the Princess's degree. "Well, if it isn't the Royal Pig" she spat.

-Karin Togami: Super Duper High School Accountant-

Since she was little, Karin was an excellent accountant, having accumulated a vast personal fortune. However, she was always inferior to Madoka. It didn't help matters that her father, Byakuya Togami, was a bitter rival of Makoto Naegi, Madoka's father. As such, the two developed a fierce rivalry. As the two bickered, however, microphone feedback was heard throughout the gym.

"Is everyone here? Alright. Then we can begin" the voice emerged from the speakers. The students looked on to see the podium on the Gym's stage. From the curtains emerged a man, about 50, with silver hair and squinted eyes.

The students listened in, excitement on their faces… it was clear that this would be a big announcement…
