Do Not Own Danganronpa
Danganronpa: Komaru's Despair
Prologue
Komaru Naegi was standing outside of Hope's Peak. A massive building that towered all over the other buildings in the area. It was like the school was centre of the entire world. Komaru was surprised to be invited there since the school was for top students from every field imaginable and Komaru was as average as they come. There was nothing special about her in the slightest. So she was standing outside of the school not willing to come as she did not know if it had been a hoax. She did not believe that she should be at the school that people say that if you come to then once you managed to graduate then you'll be set for life. There were two things needed to enrol at this school. One was you had to be already attending high school which Komaru was. The second was you must be the best at what you do. Komaru wasn't the best at anything. Her brother Makoto on the other hand while also average seemed to have good luck on his side so she could see him being Ultimate Lucky Student. It wasn't like the school enrolled students related to The Ultimates. No ordinary person like Komaru could enrol here, the school had to scout you. So Komaru had no idea why, if it was true, the school scouted her of all people. The letter she was holding only had said that she was invited to come to the school as The Ultimate Average Girl. Which said it all really. She was the most unremarkable person ever. She certainly did not fit in with The Utimates. Even the school itself has an overwhelming presence that made Komaru feel she did not belong. She read up on the school and with people like Ultimate Pop Sensation (a pretty high school girl who's also the lead singer for a pop group famous all over the country) and Ultimate Fashionista (a beautiful girl on the cover of tons of fashion magazines that Komaru collected just to stare at longingly.) which made Ultimate Average Girl title feel rather pathetic but somewhat believable. The school was a popular topic with dozens of threads online dedicated to talking about the school's attendees. There were a lot of other Utimates includingBaseball, Swimming and even Biker Gang Leader so having someone who was the most average was not out of the question. With this possibility, Komaru travelled to the school on the date told and for the time. Once she was standing there in front of the school, she lost her nerves. Which was why she was just standing there. She then thought that since there were a lot of students at the school surely not all were Utimates. She drew in a deep breath and entered the school. And into the main hall where the letter said she was supposed to wait for her mentor at 8am. However, Komaru had managed to arrive an hour early so no one was there. She did not want to wait there for an hour but did not dare enter any further. After a few minutes, Komaru started to feel off. She made a move to exit the school to get some fresh air when she collapsed onto the ground and everything went black. The last thing she saw was a figure emerge from the main part of the school and head towards her.
