#01 Prologue
Hope's peak academy, I always look up to it, and It was my goal, since I was just a kid. The school brings together the best of the best, in various field, like academics, sports, art, and showbiz. It's a government – recognized academy, and many people hope to attend here. I try everything to get to that school, but I realized that, I was normal, average at everything I do. I still got a letter to attend that school, but it was not for my skill, but for just sheer luck. I thought that Hope's peak academy, was fill with hope, but it was quite opposite, there was only despair. Me and fourteen other, were trap inside that school, and a stuff bear decided that the only way to escaped, was killing each other, and going to a trial. One by one, all my friend were dying in front of me. After Sayaka death, I decide to learn how to fight from Sakura, so I won't let another friend die, but even that I still fail. In the end, we defeat despair, me and five other survive, that harsh environment. As we were exit the school, I look the monomono machine, I never use it, but now it seem safe to use, without the stuff bear gone.
"What wrong." A voice said.
"You can all go ahead, I like to try something, before I go."
They all nodded and left. I enter the room, and took out my last coin I had, all this time. I insert the coin, and rotate the handle, then there was a loud noise, and beeping. It stop, and little machine appear, I had never seen anything like this.
I sigh. It was just junk, and left it on the table, and walk away, but I heard peeping coming from behind me.
The machine flash the entire room, and it stop, I laugh a bit and decide to tell them about this. When I took my first step, I fell on the ground, and I realize how tired, I was feeling, and my head was screaming with pain. I couldn't resist the pain in my head, and I fainted.
My vision came back to me, and look around to see a classroom. Did they bring me here to rest, I thought. I got up, and the pain in my head was still there. I look up at the clock, and I see that it is 8 o'clock, I sleep for too long. I should go, they waiting for me to leave from here.
As I headed out to the exit, I hear voices coming from the gym. Are they in the gym, I ask to myself, and I open the Door leading to a room, before the gym. I hear the voices louder now, I hesitate to open the door, but I'm curious. I open the door only to see 14 people, staring at me.
I was shock at what I'm seeing, the people I see die in front of me are alive. I hear them mumbling, and asking question about, what they are doing here, but I decided to sit down and processes all this.
"um…are you naegi, correct?"
I look up and see the blue – hair girl, and I remember that she die, and my stomach was getting bad, I feel like I could throw up. I nodded to her question, I was still thinking, and confused. I was really happy that she is alive, but I need check if this is real or not.
"We were together in junior high remember, I'm Sayaka Maizono, an-"
I hug her. I can sense that this was not a robot or hologram, so is she the real one?
"N-Naegi, we should ain't do this, we are just friend." Maizono said, embarrassed. "I'm sorry." I let go of her, and step back.
"I-it okay Naegi, you just happy to see a familiar face, like me." She said, smiling.
I laugh nervously, "of course."
"Are you two done flirting around, we must start with the introduction, so we can start talking about this problem we are in." the blond boy said.
"I should start with the introduction!" a certain boy scream. "My name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru!" 'Super Duper High School Level Disciplinarian.'
"I'm next, hello my name is Hifumi Yamada." 'Super High Duper School Level Fanfic creator'
The man with the weird hair style speak, "The name is Mondo Owada, you better not forget it." 'Super Duper High School Level Biker Gang Leader.'
"My name is Leon Kuwata." 'Super Duper High School Level Baseball Player.'
"I guess, I'm next, people called me Yasuhiro Hagakure." 'Super Duper High School Level Fortune Teller.'
"Hmph, The name is Byakuya Togami." 'Super Duper High School Level Affluent Progeny.' Well, that all the boys, now for the girls. Maizono from behind step up in front, and face everyone,
"My name is Sayaka, Maizono, but you know that right Naegi." 'Super Duper High School Level Idol.' I laugh nervously.
"Can you two stop with the happy friend reunion." A girl said. "My name is Junko Enoshima, if you really want to know." 'Super Duper High School Level Fashionista.'
"Oh, me me, I'm next, I'm Aoi Asahina." 'Super Duper High School Level Swimmer.'
"You should be more calm, one must remain calm, at time like this, My name is Sakura Ogami." 'Super Duper High School Level Martial Artist.'
"Oh, I'm next I believe, my name is Celestia Ludenberg." 'Super Duper High School Level Gambler.'
A soft voice speak, "H-Hello, my name is..umm..Chihiro Fukisaki." 'Super Duper High School Level Programmer.'
Everyone watch a girl thinking, before she spoke, "oh, my name is Kyoko Kirigiri." 'Super Duper High School Level ?.'
"Ah, everyone is staring at me, you just want my name right, my name is…Toko Fukawa." 'Super Duper High School Level Writing Prodigy.'
Then Everyone turn to me, and I got nervous again, like it was my first time doing this. "M-My name is Makoto Naegi." I said.
"Now that we are finish with that let get down to business, and find out who brought us here, and why." Byakuya said.
"Maybe this is a Orientation for the freshman like us." Yasuhiro said, thinking. Then there was a loud noise.
"Testing…testing, well you can hear that, can you." A voice spoke through a mic. I knew that voice, and I was angry, that it will begin once again.
"Hello, Everyone, and welcome to the freshman opening ceremony." Behind the podium, a stuff bear appear.
"Hello guys, I'm Monobear, and I'm your principle of this school."
"Ahh, is a talking stuff toy!" Hiromi scream.
"I'm not a stuff toy, I'm your principle Monobear." "Now that you all have introduced to one another let have a nice meeting." He bow.
"Let have a nice meeting!" Kiyotaka said, and bowing as well.
"You are stupid for listening to a stuff animal." Junko said.
"Now for why you are here, is because I want all of you to stay here for the rest of your life."
"You are kidding me." Leon was shocked.
"Don't worry we have food and water to last us for a century."
"That not the problem, but what if we have to go outside." Celestia ask.
"Ahem, that easy, you must rules for that."
"What kind of rules." Byakuya ask. I knew were this was going, but for now I just follow along, for now at least.
"It simple, all you have to do is kill one another." "Kill them, burn them, stab them, use a weapon, etc, it doesn't matter to me how you do it, just get it done."
"You are lying!" Maizono said.
"Yeah, he probably lying about killing each other. Hifumi said.
"lying you said." He jump off from the podium, and start walking. "I'm not lying to you, you must kill each other to leave, how is that a lie."
"I'm tired of your bullshit, toy." Owada said.
"Bullshit, like your hair?" Owada got angry and pick him up by the neck.
"I don't care if you a principle, I will beat you regardless."
"Aah, new rules, student can't hit the principal." Monobear started beeping.
"What wrong useless toy."
Kirigiri notice, "becareful, that-" I quickly rush out to take away Monobear away from him, and throwing it. Monobear exploded, and I sigh, that was close.
"it exploded?" Owada, was a little scared.
"Did the toy die?" Fujisaki ask.
"I'm not a toy, I'm your principal like I told you." Then he show up behind he podium again. "I should give you a warning for now, but the next time you break a rule, you will pay with your life." Monobear was angry. "Now, now, we should all relax, because the ceremony ended, so good bye for now." Monobear disappear behind the podium.
"So, they only way to escape is to kill someone." Celestia said.
"I don't want to kill nobody." Fujisaki said, almost crying.
"if someone is stupid enough to believe that bear says." Byakuya said, not caring. Everyone was staring at each other, if they can't trust one another, but I know I need to save all the people I couldn't save last time, and this time I wouldn't fail. After a while, everyone try searching around the gym, and I see Sakura, trying to break the defense on the window. I knew that won't work, I look at my handbook, and when I look at my information, I couldn't hold my surprise.
"What wrong Naegi?" Maizono ask.
"it's nothing." I laugh nervously. I try to double check, and I see what it suppose to be "Super Duper High School Level Lucky Student" is now "Super Duper High School Level Hope." Why is that my title, I thought I only received that title, when we beat her. I was thinking, but it was interrupted by Byakuya talking.
"I'm dong this alone." Everyone turn to see him walking away. "I'm not staying here, while the killer plot something." Then Owada, stood in his way.
"I'm not letting you go."
"Move you brainless, orc."
"What did you just call me!" Owada was angry. I remember this, and I know, what I need to do.
"Fighting against each other is pointless." I said.
"Are you defending this guy, then I guess you want to be the first to beat the crap out of you." He threw a punch, but I dodge easily by mistake. I got to let him hit me, so I stood still, and he threw another punch to my face, and it knock me out. When I woke up, I was in my room, and see Maizono next to me. I got up and sit on the bed.
"Are you okay?" Maizono ask, worrying about me.
"Yeah, I'm okay don't worry."
"I'm glad you okay, and also for you to be here with me."
I blush, but later, I remember her corpse in my bathroom, which made me sad.
"Something is bothering, right Naegi." She said, smiling. I was shocked, but I remember what she was going to say.
"Esper." We both said, at the same time. We look at each other, and laugh.
"How did you know I was going to say that."
I smile, "I'm esper."
"Really!" I laugh, it been a while since I had a good time without worrying about the killing.
I got up and say, "I need to find clue to get out of here." She nodded.
"Yeah, oh, and also I should become Super Duper High School Level Assistant." "Why?" I ask.
"I'll become your assistant, so we can all get out of here alive." She grab my hand and hold it. I nodded, and smile. This time for sure, I won't fail.
