Normal P.O.V

Hope's peak Acedemy. A university where the most talented people around the world are studying. Only the luckiest from the lottery and the best person in their talent group are able to be selected.

And today it was the first day for this person. A bus stopped near the gate of the academy and a few seconds it drove away. As the bus drove away, a young girl with blonde long hair stood at the gate. Light blue eyes looked at the huge building and smiled at the sight of excitement. She then looked at the letter of the Hope's Peak Acedemy and her smile brightened.

Dear Miss Merodi,

We are happy to inform you that you are officially invited to Hope's Peak. Your talent really touched our hearts in a good way. We haven't told your older brother yet, so he will get a big surprise~!

We will see you soon!

Sincerely,

The principal.

She giggled as she folded the letter back in her pocket. 'My big brother would be surprised indeed! It took one year and now I'm finally here! Now we have finally time to hang around again like we used to!' She thought happily.

She grabbed her luggage and walked towards the entrance. But as she opened the door, a bright light came into her view that was so bright, that she dropped her luggage and shut her eyes tightly. And then the light disappeared and everything turned black.

Protagonist's P.O.V

The darkness the numbness around me started to fade away. I was able to open my eyes and I noticed that I was in a dark classroom and that I sat alone near a desk with a piece of paper in front of me. I rubbed my head as I sat up straight, feeling the headache again from yesterday.

"What happened?" I asked myself. As I was about the ask the other unanswered question, I suddenly heard a bell sound from the speaker. I looked at it as I heard the message.

"Attention all students. Welcome to Hope's Peak Academy! Come to the gym for the opening ceremony!" A annoying voice chimed out. After that, the speaker went silent. I wondered about that paper, so I picked it up and looked at it. It was a route from this clasroom to the gym. The red arrow with the text "You are here!" showed it.

I stood up and walked out of the classroom. But as I walked out, I noticed that the hallways were...creepily silent. My big brother told me that the wall colors here are bright and calm, but I saw that the colors are creepy like dark purple and the lights are dimmed.

Trying to not get freaked out and scared, I started to follow the route in a fast walking pace. It started to get me more scared as time passed by. After a minute or two, I arrived at the gym doors. I sighed a bit in relief as I heard voices behind to door, but it made me nervous on the inside as well. This is the first time that I meet new people with my big brother. He would always introduced me to new people, but now it is different.

I took a deep breath and opened the door. As I walked inside, I saw 14 people suddenly looking at me. But not one of these people was my big brother. My nervousness started to increase by those stares and I could feel my face heating up.

"Umm..I..uhh.." I was unable to talk. My shyness was kicking in again as I looked away from them. 'Oh god, not again.' I though a little panicked. 'Why does it had to happen to me now?'

Footsteps started to come closer to me, but my gaze was still looking at my shoes and I gripped the bottom of my black skirt. "Miss?" A gentle female voice called me out. I slowly looked up and I saw a red long haired and purple eyed young female in a beautiful red dress, looking at me concerned. "Are you alright? Do you have a fever?"

I tried to answer, but I was interrupted when two females appeared in front of me. I squeeled by shock as my eyes widened and my blush brightened.

The pink haired female in a strapless dress started to feel my forehead. After a minute, she removed her hand. "No fever, but I do suggest that you should use a moisturizing cream for your face." She told that to me.

I nodded at her, because I was still unable to speak. Suddenly the blonde haired female with a dark blue ribbon started to feel my curl. She hummed at it and nodded as she let it drop slowly. "You do have beautiful hair. Tell me, what is the name of the hairdresser in your town?" She asked in a serious tone and she looked at me dead in the eyes. Now my nervousness was replaced by fear once again.

I started to back away, but she walked closer when I did. Luckily a more muscular orange short haired girl pulled her back and stood in front of me, but this time I only saw the back.

"Miyu, stop this stupid nonsence! This is not the time for your stupid jealousy!" She yelled at her in anger. The blond haired girl huffed and turned away from us. But it didn't help with my fear at all. The yelling scared me more as my body started to shake.

"Now now Tetsu. You don't have to yell loud like that. You scared the poor cute girl even more with that." I looked at the source of the voice. I saw a black haired male that looked like a clown, smiling with his eyes closed. The bells of his yellow purple striped hat started to make a nice jingling sounds as he walked towards me and the orange haired girl.

He then snapped his fingers and roses with various colors came out under his hat and showed up like a flower crown.. He pulled a pink rose out of his hat and gave this to me.

"Would you like a beautiful rose that fits your cuteness?" He asked as he opened his eyes that are green on the left and purple on the right. A blush showed up of my face and I carefully took the rose. That sweet gesture made me smile and the smile of the boy brightened.

"AIYAAAH!" A girly yell made us all turn around. A pink haired with a darker tan held her head and it showed a bump on her head. Next to her was a tall black long haired male in a dar blue summer kimono with a blank face that held a large white japanese paper fan.

"Why the hell did you hit me?! I didn't do anything!" She yelled in anger with teary eyes of pain as she looked up at the male. The male stared at her blankly. "I know that you were trying to steal something from me. I could sense that meters away." He said in an emotionless tone. The glare of the female next to him increased, but she didn't say anything.

"Both of you, calm down!" A dark brown short haired boy started to walk towards them, but he was stopped by a hand on the shoulder from a white haired male. "Just let them be." The white haired male said calmly. "You don't want to get caught into this."

"He is right, you know?" The velvet haired boy sat at the bank of the gym, swinging with his legs. "And besides, it is more fun to watch from the side lines." Just then when it got worse, slow claps were heard around the gym.

Me and everyone else looked at the sound of the claps. A girl with light purple hair in a braided ponytail with brown green eyes held a notepad and stared at us seriously. "Alright. Since I think that everyone is here, we should talk about the situation that we are in." She said as she looked at the notepad. "So that's 15 students of this class" She muttered.

"Oh that's right! We have forgotten about that!" A brown short haired girl with pig tails yelled that out loud. When she looked at me, she gasped. "Oh..My..God!" Her orange eyes suddenly started to sparkle. "You're Chiya Merodi! One of the worlds famous violin players of this century! Chiya-chan, can I have a..."

But the short girl was interrupted by a light blue haired male. "Suma, give her some privacy. This is more important." He said to her. Suma's eyes widened and her face showed realisation. "Oh right!" After that, she smiled to me again. "Then maybe after that, okay?" She waved at me and I sweatdropped. 'It seems that I would get my first interview soon.' I thought.

"Anyway, Chiya-chan? Did you maybe woke up in the classroom too?" My eyes widened as I looked at the black haired clown. "Wait. You all woke up in a classroom?" I asked them to the others. Some of them said yes, two people said duh and the others just nodded.

"I see. So we all woke up here." The light purple haired girl closed her eyes as she put a hand under her chin. "But we do have two unanswered questions. How did we end up in the classroom and why are we the only ones here?" She asked to us.

All the sudden, we heard a screech in our ears. It sounded like a microphone, but it a high screech tone. Everyone covered their ears until the sound faded away.

"Umm..Is this thing on? Test, one two..Aah! Hello to you bastards! Welcome to the openings ceremony!" We looked at the stage and a black and white teddybear showed up at the stage. "I am Monokuma and I am the principal! Deal with it!" It said while it showed its claws. It was the same tone as the voice I heard from the speaker minutes ago.

Most of the people looked at it confused, while the others were staring blankly at it. I was one of the confused people. "Umm.. are you a robot?" I asked at it. Suddenly the black haired clown, the velvet haired boy and the girl with the pig tails suddenly started to scream. Everyone looked at them in shock and surprise, until..

"CUTE!" They yelled with bright smiles and sparkly eyes. Everyone sweatdropped, except Tetsu and Miyu. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!" they both yelled at them in anger and the three cowered. The tanned pink haired girl tried to hold her laughter. Monokuma started to get red.

"Shut the fuck up! All of you!" Everyone looked at Monokuma and the three cowered even more. Everything went silent and Monokuma's red color started to fade. "Much better. I have an announcement to you all. You guys are trapped in this school forever!"

Everyone's eyes widened at that statement. But Tetsu cracked her knuckles and started to walk towards the bear. "What did you..?" She asked in a hushed angry tone, but Monokuma interrupted her.

"Hush hush, I'm not done yet! There is still a way to escape and that is a kind of a game." It said in a cheerful tone. Tetsu stayed at her spot, but the anger was still there. The pink haired dark tanned girl smiled at it. "A game, you say? That sounds kind of interesting. What kind of game are we going to play?"

The smile of the bear brightened, but I felt that the smile was evil. This has to be something bad. I gripped on the rose tightly in slight fear. "Upupupupu. We are going to do..a murder game! That's right! You guys have to kill each other to escape!" It laughed maniacally at us. My eyes widened in fear as I started to shake. Some of them started to gasp, including me.

"You are kidding, right? Because if it is, then that it is really a bad joke." The black haired clown said to the bear who stood next to me. As I looked at him, he wasn't smiling. He sounded angry, but it showed shock in his eyes.

The bear's laughter calmed down and shook its head. "Nope. Not joking, and you guys can't do anything to stop me." He said as he shook his butt in front of us, smiling with the same grin from before.

"We will see about that."

Suddenly Tetsu and the black haired samurai with the sword in hand ran towards the stage, ready to attack. The bear looked at them and showed his claws once again. "Violence against the principal is forbidden!"

Hundreds of guns showed up in front of the stage and also around us. I screamed and teared up at the sight of them. Everyone else screamed or gasped as well. The guns made the two stop and looked behind us in shock. "Now then, are you guys participating the game or do you all want to die?" Monokuma asked at us.

As I looked at Tetsu and the samurai, they both turned away from Monokuma and the samurai pulled his sword back in his holder. They surrendered. The grin of the bear brightened and the guns disappeared to the floor.

"That's the spirit! Well then, I'll leave you guys alone now. Enjoy your first day in the academy of Despair! Upupupu!" And with that, the bear disappeared behind the stage. I heard Tetsu curse under her breath and I saw everyone looking away from each other.

So this was happening. This game was really going to happen! I panicked even more. I don't want to die! I want to find my brother! I want to survive!

Unable to calm down, I decided to sneakily and quietly walk away from them. I don't want because of the despair it caused, but because they might need some time alone. As I managed to get out of the gym, I let the tears fall as I walk away.

The game of despair might be starting, but it is not too late to find a getaway of this place. I have to find it!
