Buried underneath a pile of rubble were one man, and a voice recorder. "Oh well if I am going to die here I may as well pass the time by listening to this?" the man asked himself as he pressed the play button. Hello my name is Rio Nakamura and this is the story of how I and my four comrades walked up to the iron vault door. It started with sixteen of us and now we are down to only five. Thirteen gruesome deaths and we have finally earned our freedom.
We were soaked in the blood of someone who was supposed to be our friend. But after facing off with the human embodiment of despair itself, there came one last thing. Now with the key in my hand I let us out and our memories of this place with us. As the five of us walked out of this prison one last thought of this place came to my mind. "Hope Peek high, I did not know it when I woke up here, but that name was going to be a lot more than just ironic." I thought this as we saw sunlight for the first time in what felt like forever. "What you are about to hear is the story of the end class." The young female voice said. "If you are listening to this then all I can say is that I wish the best of luck to you while you are here." Nakamura said as she sighed. "Now this is the beginning of our end." She said started off their story.
NAKAMURA POV
My head was feeling fuzzy as the darkness was replaced by a red light. My limbs for some reason felt heavy "Urrgh?" I groaned as I slowly woke up in an empty classroom. My outfit was a baggy wool blouse with dress pants and a white dress shirt underneath my blouse. I looked around wandering where I was, however in a few moments I would discover where I was.
"Where the hell am I?" I complained as she walked around the room. That is when I noticed a pamphlet on the teachers' podium.
I opened it up and read the following as it was written in green and black crayon for some reason. "Welcome student to Hope Peek high. In your pocket you will find a digital student hand book. It has a map that will lead you to the gym for a welcome ceremony at Eight-o-clock sharp. P.S GOOD LUCK LITTLE NAKA!" and with that I was stunned.
"Is that my name?" I asked myself this, still to this day I do not know what they did to us. But when we all woke up that day none of us could remember our names, so the names you hear may not be ours. But since these are on our student IDS I assume these are our names. As I was saying I read the note and proceeded to shift through my pockets for the student handbook.
I pulled out from my underwear a black rectangle that turned on. The screen then showed my photo and name "Rio Nakamura?" I read understanding where Little Naka came from. A list of directions came up and I followed them to the gym doors. As I slid the doors open I saw fifteen others waiting for me.
"Great now there are sixteen of us here, anyone else walking behind you." said a girl in a monotone voice with Messy black hair, her eyes were either very light hazel or a light crimson. She was wearing a black hoodie and purple and black checkered kilt. Her name would soon to be know to us as Kirara Hazama.
"Sixteen people wake up in an unknown building for unknown reasons!" this was a fairly… round person? "It is just like a manga I read once!" she had brown hair and her eyes were of a dark brown. She was wearing a T-shirt that said manga for life, and shorty shorts that were not too flattering on her.
"Where were you!" shouted a young man with brown hair and amber eyes. His clothes were a black T-shirt and blue jeans that were too short; both looked very old and faded. "The paper said 8-o-clock sharp!" said the boy who we would later to know as Yuma Isogai.
"Like chill out some of us still have a headache from waking up." said a girl with short green hair and amber eyes. She was wearing a sparkly crimson top and a black skirt. This girl would be known as Kaede Kayano later on in this twisted little game.
"Do you also happen to have amnesia?" said a girl with two black ponytails and purple eyes. She was wearing a grey shirt with track pants. The sad looking thing was also wearing a white lab coat, her name was Manami Okuda
"Yes I do?" I said now even more confused than when I woke up.
"Looks like all of our hunters targets are now in place… bang." she said the last part as she made a gun with her finger and pointed it at me. She had orange hair and green eyes so intense you could not look at her straight. Her outfit was a simple cargo pants and a green tank top, the name to her face was Rinka Hayami.
"Like hell! I'm no one's target!" said a boy with a bulky frame. He had brown hair on top with blonde on the sides; the eyes were a light green. The clothes on him were a simple white dress shirt and old tattered jeans. His name very soon to be discovered was Ryoma Terasaka.
"No shit if I had a hot rod I would run down the crazy bastard who brought us here!" shouted a boy with brown dreadlocks and black sharp eyes. He was wearing what looked like some sort of jump suit… no a mechanics uniform and his name was Taisei Yoshida.
"Like or not our only choice is to play ball." said a boy in a baseball uniform. He had black hair and dark blue eyes, his name was Tomohito Sugino.
"That's right everyone we have to be here for a good reason." This girl had orange hair and light green eyes, but hers were much softer than Rinkas. She was wearing light brown hiking shorts and a green striped tank top, her name was Hinano Kurahashi.
"We can hope there is a reason for this non-sense." said a boy with silver hair and golden eyes, they looked quite feral. His name was Itona Horibe "We need to at least try to consider all of our options." he said.
My eyes then rested upon a girl with beautiful blue hair, with matching blue eyes the color of sapphires. Her dress was a light blue spring dress with a bubble design. "Stop undressing me with those eyes you testosterone lacking pervert!" Nagisa Shiota said covering her whole body with her hands.
"Want to take a picture before I punch your lights out?" a red headed boy with perfectly amber colored eyes said or rather snarled as he pulled Nagisa close to him. His name was Karma Akabane and was wearing red T-shirt with black jeans and a long black trench coat filled with… oh God I hoped it was not drugs.
As I backed up I stumbled into a cute girl with pink hair and blue eyes that reminded me of the Ocean. She was wearing a pair of noise canceling headphones with a knee high dress. It was colored in a silver and light green scheme; the headphones were the same as the dress. She simply tilted her head at me while continuing with a blank stare; her name was Ritsu Ndere (Pronounced mockingly as Ree-Tsundere by the others when they found out her name).
"Do I know you?" said a girl with black hair and amber eyes. When I turned around I saw her face and knew what she felt. It was as if I was experiencing Déjà vu but before I could respond we all heard a screeching coming from the speakers on the stage.
"Testing! Testing! Can you here over this thing?" asked what appeared to be a giant yellow octopus. He had a smiley emoji face and was wearing something that looked like a graduation gown for university. "I know what you are all thinking but no I am not wearing a costume this is my actual body." he said waving his tentacles up and down in front of his gown. "I am your sole teacher and faculty member here at Hope Peek high." The Octopus said snickering at our bewildered faces.
"As for my name you may call me Koro-sensei." He said adjusting his hat. "And the sole purpose of bringing you all here is to watch you all kill each other until one remains standing." Koro-sensei said with his face turning pink.
"But as for the specifics I will explain as we go along." He said yawning more for comedic effect than anything I assumed. "In your student books it will tell you all you need to know about this place." And with that he practically vanished into thin air.
After this revelation finally dawned on them fighting broke out. Terasaka and Yoshida started to freak out and punch or kick the walls. Itona joined in but unlike them kept his cool and did precise calm strikes. After a few minutes of this Karma spoke up, angering the two delinquents.
"Will you idiots stop that all you are doing is wasting your energy and our ear drums good health." Karma said sneering at them in disgust.
"What the hell did you say pretty boy!" Terasaka said jumping down from the bleachers cracking the concrete floor beneath them.
Yoshida slid down the hand rails and landed next to Terasaka. "You want to eat dirt or drink toilet water." He said cracking his knuckles. Karma easily flipped them both back into the bleachers.
After that they rushed him both at once and I was dumb enough to get in between them. When I came too I was lying in a bed with Karma and Nagisa both sitting at the end of it. "What happened?" I asked them because at the time my brain was pretty much scrambled.
"You got your ass kicked bro, and then everyone started to take this seriously." Karma said confusing me as to what seriously meant. Also I just now realized what Nagisa meant earlier, I totally look like boy when dressed like this. "After Itona and I carried you to your room the other started searching for exits." he said making me hopeful that we may make some process.
"Oh I see?" I said this sarcastically due to his odd phrasing from before.
He found this funny and continued to explain the situation to me. "Alright check it the three basics are one! Bathing." Karma said nuzzling Nagisa making me question at the time how far they have gone. "Everyone's room comes with a private shower and only girls have locks on their showers." Karma stated making me feel a bit relieved.
"Second! Curfew is from 10 pm to 7 am so we were advised to stay in our rooms and keep the doors locked for well… the obvious." Karma said making me question for the first time since we got their as to whether or not anyone else would kill. "Oh yah referring back to the first one the showers won't work during curfew hours." This did not bother me much.
"Thirdly if you kill a classmate and don't get caught by your fellow peers then you are set free, or as he calls it graduates." Karma said making air quotes at the word graduates. This attitude of his always made me laugh, at the very least you can count on Karma to cheer you up.
This was the end of the first day the total remaining 16 out of 16. But unfortunately it did not end there, for I have many more days of murder and fear to discuss with you listening to this recording.
