? – Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3. This is an announcement."

? – "Can you guys hear me. Ah, well"

? – "In order to start this wonderful entrance ceremony"

? – "I welcome you all."

Byakuya Togami – "….I am going to find out about this"

(Togami left)

Leon Kuwata – "Dude why is he leaving without us for backup"

Kyoko Kirigiri – "I don't know but this does intrigue me. I am going to go and catch up with Togami"

(Kyoko left the room)

Toko Fukawa – "This is suspicious..not that I care anyway. I just want to go with Togami"

(Togami left the room)

Leon Kuwata – "Whatever, man. This is such a pain to deal with. Looks like I will have to follow them

(Leon left the room)

Yasuhiro Hagakure - "They're so funny! Seriously, so funny! I can't wait to see what trick they have for the entrance ceremony"

(Yasuhiro left the room)

As I watched many people to go and head towards the gynamisum

Mondo Oowada – "sigh" Do you want me to come with you guys.

(Chihiro Fujisaki smiled)

Chihiro Fujisaki – Sure, I will come with you guys

Me, Chihiro and Mondo heading off to the gynamisum entrance

(While on the way Mondo decided to talk to me)

Mondo Oowada - "Somehow, it feels just like this prison I was locked in that time. Nah, this place is even worse."

Chihiro Fuijisaku – "Why isn't there anyone else around?"

I slowly started to realize that fact

Makoto Neagi – "This is getting worse and worse."

As we arrived in the gymnasium everyone was already there talking

Hifumi Yamada – "I...it's just them trying to trick us! I'm sure they'll remove the steel plates later..."

Leon Kuwata – "I am not scared..i am going on to face this problem head on"7

Aoi Asahina – "LET'S GO!"

Celestia Lundenberg – "My, my what a pair we have here"

Togami smiled

Byakuya Togami – "I would call them a bunch of morons."

Sayaka Maizono – "Neagi, are you sure everything will be all-right"

(While I was not confident I decided it would best to keep everyone's sprits high

Makoto Neagi – "Don't worry about it, I am sure everything is going to be all-right"

(She did not looked convinced)

Sakura Oogami – "Let's okay"

(I opened the door)

Junko Enoshima – "Don't worry, this is just your normal entrance ceremony"

? – "Is everyone here!? Well then, I think it's time to begin!"

(Suddenly a black and white blur appeared. The thing started to flap it's arms and after focusing my eyes I just realized what the blur was…a teddy bear)

Mondo Oowada – "Eh...? A teddy bear...?"

?- "Hey, I'm not a toy!

I'm Monokuma!"

Makoto Neagi – "This thing was nothing I had ever experience. Something so weird and bizarre as a talking black and white bear"

Sakura Oogami – So…the bear talked"

Byakuya Togami – "Are you sure this is not just a just a remote controlled toy"

Monokuma – "I'm not a toy..."

Hifumi Yamada – "OMG, It moved!"

Mondo Oowda – "What the fuck is that thing?!"

Monokuma – "Don't call me a remote controlled joy or I will sink into despair"

Monokuma – "So I can't bear letting you say such dream-destroying hurtful things!"

Celestia Lundenberg – "Ha,ha,ha,ha Bear"? Hasn't that been done to death already?

Monokuma – "Shut Up!"

Kiyokyta Ishimaru – "Good morning"

Touko Fukawa – "Be quiet"

Monokuma – "Let's get this entrance ceremony started. You guys are all the best at what you do. You bring hope to the world. In order to protect that hope. You must live inside this academy for the rest of your lives"

(Aoi Asahina looked curious)

Aoi Asahina – "What do you mean by that?"

Monokuma – "HAHAHAHAHAHA, well you are going to live here your entire lives! That is the school life we are assigning to you bastards!"

Chihiro Fuijisaki – "w…h..a..t do you mean by that?"

Monokuma – "Ah, there's nothing to worry about. We have plenty of budget. You bastards won't lack anything, I promise!"

Leon Kuwata – "Dude, that's not the problem here"

Junko Enoshima – "That..not why we are worried"

Sakura Oogami – "Do not joke about this or you will suffer me. You are lying correct?"

Monokuma – "I am most certainly not a liar! I have great pride in that!

Ah, I should also let you know: you will be completely shut out from the outside world!

So you shouldn't be worried anymore about what's going on in this rotten world we all live in!"

Kyoko Kirigiri – "…Those steel plates"

(I then realized about those steel plates in those classrooms and corridors. )

Monokuma – "That's right.

It doesn't matter how much you shout. No help is coming.

Therefore, you should just make the most out of your life inside the school!"

Mondo Oowada – "What the fuck is happening"

Yashahiro Hagakure – "HAHAHA, this is a joke. Right?"

Monokuma – "You keep calling it a joke or a lie. It seems you're still very much doubting me."

Sayaka Maizono – "It's troubling for us. Spending the rest of our lives in this school..."

Monokuma – "After all, didn't you all come to this school out on your own volition?

Don't go on saying you want to go back in the middle of the opening ceremony...

That said...

To be frank, it's not impossible. There is a way to get out of here..."

Touko Fukawa – What do you mean?"

Monokuma – "Well there is a way of leaving this school. It's a special rule that will allow you to leave this school"

Leon Kuwata – "Man I don't get this at all"

Monokuma – "someone breaks the order, that person alone can leave the school grounds. That is the rule called "graduation"!"

Celestia Lundenberg – "What do you mean by breaking the order?"#

Monokuma – "To put it simply, the act of killing another person"

Makoto Neagi – "KILLING!"

(I was surprised and shocked at the same time at what Monokuma just said"

Monokuma – "Beatingstabbingclubbingbeheadingburningsuffocatingstranglingslaughteringvoodoocursing... The method doesn't matter.

"Only a student who kills someone can leave". It's a very simple rule."

Mondo Oowada – "WHAT THE HELL!"

Monokuma – "UPUPUPUPUPUPUPU…Like I said before, you bastards are often called "the world's hope".

Making such "hope"-filled kids kill each other - such a "despair"-filled situation –"

Byakuya Togami – "W...what did it say!? Kill each other? Well I am interested "

Aoi Asahina – "Why do you want to force us to kill each other. It doesn't make any sense"

Chihiro Fuijisaki – "P..l..e..a..se let us go home"

Monokuma – "You guys are really stupid. Don't you get it. This is your home now and you will like it".

Yashiro Hagakure – "You managed to surprise us already. It's time to give up the act, 'right?"

Sakura Oogami – "Move"

Sakura Oogami picked up Monokuma

Sakura Oogami – "You are not honourable. You will die"

Monokuma – "AHAHAHA, Well take this"

Suddenly Monokuma started to beep

BEEEP BEEP BEEP

I decided to shot

Makoto Neagi – THROW THAT THING AWAY. IT'S GOING TO EXPLOAD"

(Sakura throw the toy away and the thing exploded_

Mondo Oowada – " What..the fuck"

Aoi Ashina – "Since that thing blew up. Does that mean we can escape?"

Monokuma – "Not a toy, my name is Monokuma"

Leon Kuwata – "The Hell, another one popped out"

Celestia Lundenberg – "My, my. That is intresting"

Monokuma – "If you try that again. I will truly kill you. Got it, you guys can't defy me. Bad children who break the rules will be punished"

Hifumi Yamada – "Please don't punish me"

Monokuma – "Monobears are constructed at a special place inside this very school.

In addition, there are security cameras installed in every room of this school.

Therefore, in case anyone does anything against the rules, they can expect severe bodily punishment!"

Monokuma started to pass out cards to everyone

Monokuma – "It's an electronic student ID card,"

Monokuma – "The Electronic Student ID card is necessary for your daily activities. It's very important, so try not to lose it!

When you first turn it on please confirm your own real name is displayed on the screen.

It has many uses besides simple identification, though... You will find a full list of the school rules in it, so please read them carefully!

I'll repeat one more time: breaking the school rules is forbidden!

Rules are what bind us together as a society. Without rules, how can mankind live peacefully?"

Monokuma – "School's opening ceremony is complete! Please enjoy our quiet gruesome school life! See you later!"

Suddenly Monokuma disappeared. Leaving no trace behind.

Leon Kuwata – "H...hey, everyone... How would you define what happened here now?"

Byakuya Togami – "Well, I must say this is interesting"

Mondo Oowada – "I don't know what the hell is happening here"

Kyoko Kirigiri – "Well it is certainly concerning..but listen let's go once more over what we know. According to what this Monobear said, we are presented we two first, live a peaceful communal life inside this school with no time limit. And the second..."

Yamada Hifumi – "The second is…killing..each other..correct?"

Chihiro Fujisaki – "killing... there's no way..."

Junko Enoshina – "What is up with that.."

Sayaka Maizono – "This can't be real..can it?"

Togami Byakuya – "The problem is quite simple. Did anyone here take what Monokuma was saying seriously"

Hearing that, we all fell silent again.

Not saying anything, we looked around at each other's faces.

We gazed around as if trying to search each other's inner thoughts. There were even traces of hostile feeling in the air.

And then...

I began to understand the true terror of the rules Monobear presented.

"Only a student who kills can leave this place..."

Those words planted the seeds of terrible thoughts at the deepest corners of our minds.

"Who will betray us". That dark demon called paranoia.

That was how my new school life began.

But the school I entered with such elated feelings...

...wasn't the "school of hope".

This place was

"The school of despair".
