Author's note: I added a SD2 and DR : Abridged Thing reference, one for each. Can you figure it out?
This section focuses on a free time event and some conversations with several students. I only consider free time events the ones with long talks, also with the format.
The next section should probably be the motive. AKA not using the motives from canon. It should have extra... spunk.
Akorin Kokoro - it started really bad. At least I found some of my mistakes.
FirelightKnight - Dude, it's all thanks to you! But it's gonna take much more time to make a really good chapter. I will take my time and see if I miss any spots.
SadisticSerenade - I'll sure try to avoid that. I think. Hehe. Thank you by the way.
Integras - Thank you! I appreciate it.
EveBlaze - Oh, those chapters.. well. I decided to scrap it off. I'm going to put emphasis on the term, "Alternate DR Scenario."
Knowing the forthcoming events that he had anticipated in his mind.
The students in Hope's Peak Academy weren't that much in for a surprise.
They needed to be careful for who they're up against.
It all comes down into trust.

DAY 1: RESUMED
Before waking up, I saw another premonition, this one in a bit clear view. I was laying down on the floor. I unknowingly tasted his own blood, why? Blood loss. Blood flood. The mysterious person went back and mauled me at my weakest.
How come this nightmare appeared again? Something's not right.
.
.
.
Get me out of this nightmare! Wake up! Wake up!
Help! Help!
And then I heard a voice that kept on saying: "Despair! Despair! Despair!"
.
.
.
A huge flash emitted in a few seconds and the scenario had a major roundup.
.
.
.
I was sitting by the tree with someone. A girl actually. I was given a locket, symbolizing a bond we had. The locket blurs a bit, seeing me and her... and a necklace. We hugged and gave a glimpse of my smile looking at the setting sun afterwards.
Then it dimmed out.
That necklace seemed very familiar. And the girl too. I can't just put my finger on it.
My vision gradually became crystal-clear only to see myself in the bed again with a cooling aid on my forehead. How did I get this?
I would guess that there are some people who were taking care of me. I tried to tilt my head but I was stopped, could it be that I have one of those major headaches. A talk would kill the time anyway.
"What just happened?" I asked anyone.
"We found you laying down on the hallway.", one of them said. I was just looking at the ceiling. I couldn't turn my head because of the pains I had. The pain is like a nerve stretching to its limit.
"..."
"How long have I been out?", I asked again.
"You've been out for a few hours." the same voice from before.
...
"Are there any pain pills in the cabinet?" I asked again.
"I'll get one for you.", a voice coming from the boy.
"Thanks."
"What made you faint anyway?" another asked me. Something did happen. I didn't faint for no reason at all, all I can tell is that I had a premonition that someone is going to die and then I fell. I suppose I can tell that.. Wait just a sec.
"Someone's going to die in the next few days. I knew that it was going around my mind." I told everyone.
They were in shock, actually none of them. Rather, I just brought down their spirits. Some were in doubt but that's understandable, I mean they haven't ventured into such a paranormal topic or so.
"Please tell that was a joke. That mumbo-jumbo." that voice came from punk rocket.
"I will account for what Shiki had predicted." another familiar one answered.
"Shiki got in here as a SHSL Psychic, he's no ordinary person from among us. It is what he said back at the ceremony, he will tell us what is on his mind. Whether you trust him or not will be up to you. I suggest that we should be careful for whom we are against. Monokuma, and each other."
I listened carefully on their words, especially that one. I'm very sure that what I predicted was real. It was laying down on the bathroom, dead. I didn't force myself on my powers, it popped out like popcorn ready to burst. That person asked me a question regarding my prevision.
"What did you see exactly?" she asked me.
"Well, I saw a person lying down.. on a bathroom. That's all." I answered.
"You couldn't identify who it was? Any specifications?" she added.
"Like I said.", I didn't want to repeat myself.
"T.. that was meaningless.. we know that one of us here is gonna die. S-so what?" mostly the glasses girl. I was still lying down... and I was offended. At least I have earned my skills, I'm just not adapted to them yet.
I heard an announcement from one of us, "I will call our first official meeting at the cafeteria at dinner time, 6:00 p.m. Do not be late.", he's louder up close. Obviously.
"Ahem. Did I make myself clear?", I agreed to it anyway since we need to gather to avoid mystery and suspicion. Nobody objected since it was their lives on the line and pointless to revolt.
"Yeah.. I'm going to my room. See ya late-", some of them decided to take their leave to their own individual activites. I interrupted them for I needed to ask them something.
"I need to know your names, I believe I haven't introduced myself yet." I said to them.
"You were very tardy in our first day, which brings me disappointment. I suppose I'll let you go for starters. But very well, I am the SHSL Hall Monitor, Kiyotaka Ishimaru."
"Ohh.. Nice to meet you. Wait for a sec." I needed to sit down properly this time so I can get a good view of their faces.. slowly. I wouldn't want to feel pain again on my head.. or my neck. I offered him a handshake to which he complied back.
I turn into another person, it was Ms. Doubtful. I waited for her to give her introduction. "You'll probably forget my name anyway... Touko Fukawa.", now why I would forget a name, I'd never. She just needs a friend aside. A handshake offer? Nope. She left the infirmary immediately to her room. What a start.
Next was the punk boy, I hope he isn't one of those athletic bullies. "Yo, Leon Kuwata. SHSL Baseballer." He gave me a fist bump, which is his style I presume. At least he's friendly and approachable..
"I'm Sayaka Maizono, nice to meet you!", I already know her. She's a SHSL Pop Idol. I smiled back as she did to me.
"I'm Makoto Naegi, great to have someone like you in our class.", who's this guy? I haven't heard him from... well. What talent does he have for being here? Ask away.
"Uhmm.. what is your talent?", I questioned him.
"Well, I'm the lucky student who received an invitation by the school principal.", can it really go just like that? A SHSL Lucky Student? Lucky student... That's unique. or maybe they're expanding the list of talents you can have. It doesn't have to be practiced.. right?
Anyway, the last person to not introduce herself is the one closest to me.
"... Kyouko Kirigiri.", she's definitely the quiet type... and neutral one to top it off.
We stared at each other for a few seconds. I'm expecting her to say her talent but..
"Do you have a talent?" I asked.
"... And what if I don't tell you mine.", she answered back. I guess she doesn't want to say it. A shy excuse but her expression and tone of her voice says otherwise.
"...", I said nothing after that.
"I will see all of you at the cafeteria later." Ishimaru assuring that the information was processed to us. He left, along with Leon and Kirigiri.
The ones here were us three, I suppose we can converse as a group talk.
FREE TIME!
SHIKI: (It's been quiet for a while now. I should bring up a good topic.)
MAIZONO: "Hey.. Shiki?"
SHIKI: (Never mind.)
SHIKI: "Yes?"
MAIZONO: "About what you saw in the future.."
SHIKI: "What about it?"
MAIZONO: "I believe that it is true.. but why does it have to be blurry?"
MAIZONO: "I know it's rude but you're no ordinary psychic right?"
SHIKI: (She has a point though... I wonder.)
SHIKI: "Oh.. If you assume that, then the term SHSL is the only explanation I can give."
SHIKI: "The only way for me to get that level.. is to meditate, read books on the mind and practice my powers."
SHIKI: "I know too well that it takes months and maybe luck to achieve something like that."
SHIKI: "You're not associating the word ordinary as an insult right?"
MAIZONO: "No no no. I'm not a mean person, both in show business and in normal life."
MAIZONO: "I see, well back to my question."
SHIKI: "Why was it blurry? I guess... I have these predictions but not on a timely basis."
SHIKI: "I don't recall the last time I had a premonition. I was just at middle school and nothing bad happened during my stay."
SHIKI: (That was my school back from the United States, it was of high-standard just like this one.)
SHIKI: "I think my powers can be in par with luck... and my gut."
MAIZONO: "I don't understand."
SHIKI: "Ok, think of it like this. Whenever I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, my powers come to life but at unknown time."
SHIKI: "Which explains the fact that I can't fully control it."
SHIKI: "I hope you understand."
MAIZONO: "... So that's how it goes for you then.."
SHIKI: "Maybe a little luck will turn the tables. Naegi?"
NAEGI: "Uhmmm.. Is that even possible?"
*laughs*
SHIKI: "Now I will ask the both of you a question."
SHIKI: "Maizono, as an idol.."
SHIKI: (What can I ask a celebrity about... no cliche ones like on TV.)
SHIKI: "How long would your group last? Think of it realistically."
MAIZONO: "How could you say that? I don't think we'll never disband."
MAIZONO: "We've developed a very special relationship with one another."
MAIZONO: "It all depends on whatever happens in the future..."
MAIZONO: "Speaking of future, how about you predict it for me."
SHIKI: "... I don't know really."
SHIKI: (I don't want to end up from what happened between me and Celes.)
SHIKI: (What else can you think coming from one of the most popular idol groups in Japan. She's the leader in fact.)
MAIZONO: (puts her two fingers in her head. Is she even..)
SHIKI: "Are you.. trying to see the future?"
MAIZONO: "Hihi! I'm just joking! I'm not an esper like you."
SHIKI: (Of course.. Idols do need to be humorous on variety shows..)
SHIKI: "..."
SHIKI: "Anyway, Naegi..."
NAEGI: "Yeah?"
SHIKI: (What can I ask him...)
SHIKI: "Hmm..."
SHIKI: "..."
NAEGI: "..."
SHIKI: "What if... luck wasn't your talent. What talent wou- wait no scratch that."
SHIKI: "What talent would you LIKE to have if you weren't the SHSL Lucky Student."
NAEGI: "Well... now that you think about it.."
SHIKI: (That was a really good question.)
NAEGI: "I'll take any talent as long as it isn't too extreme for me."
SHIKI: "How about a dancer? Or a chess player? I think that would fit you nicely."
MAIZONO: "Yeah! You can be one of my special back-up dancers. It'd be great!"
NAEGI: "Ehh... Really?"
*laughs*
SHIKI: "I feel really up for the mood to get back up on my feet."
SHIKI: "Have you guys found anything useful a while back?"
NAEGI: "Well... we were just going to start our search but... we found you on the hallway."
MAIZONO: "We thought you died. I'm relieved that you weren't."
SHIKI: (She's definitely the first one to discover me, along with Naegi.)
MAIZONO: "I don't like Togami. He's so mean to all of us."
MAIZONO: "He wanted to confirm your death because he told us that you were useless anyway."
SHIKI: (Who's she talking about?)
SHIKI: "Who's Togami?"
MAIZONO: "Oh? You mean the formal-dressed man with glasses?"
SHIKI: "Who also has blonde hair? Right?"
MAIZONO: "Yeah. Sigh..."
SHIKI: (Yep. That's him, I also have a feeling that fate will drag me to that braggart.)
SHIKI: "..."
SHIKI: (Still... what a jerk.)
MAIZONO: "Shiki, I believe that you can accomplish your promise."
MAIZONO: "That you're going to save us with your talent."
SHIKI: "..."
MAIZONO: "While some of us can find a better way of getting out, you can act as our guardian."
SHIKI: "R-really? Guardian? That's a little too farfetched." *laugh*
MAIZONO: "...So you can't fulfill it?"
SHIKI: "I didn't say that I can't do it. All I'm saying is that I will do my best."
SHIKI: "You have Naegi by your side right?"
NAEGI: "We'll get out of here, I'm sure of it."
SHIKI: "How come you're so positive all the time?"
NAEGI: "It helps in most situations. I always try to get the best out of anything."
SHIKI: "..."
SHIKI: (I have a good feeling about him.. I don't know what exactly it is but..)
SHIKI: "Anyway, I'm thinking of ideas on a death-proof plan."
SHIKI: "How about you guys go on ahead and investigate while I think over some ideas."
NAEGI: "Umm.. Sure, we'll start our investigation now."
NAEGI: "We'll see you later at the cafeteria."
MAIZONO: "Bye!"
SHIKI: (I nodded them goodbye as well.)
SHIKI: (Two more friends have been made. I feel like I'll be closest with these two.)
Alright, I had a good talk with them. Now to get that plan out of the way, I'm going to need some time to think about it. I have to show them my suggestions by today so everyone can have an idea the next time we meet. I need to go to my room to get started.
As I went into the hallway leading to our rooms, someone called me out. It was a tall man, with freakish hair. I can't even find a way to make my hair look just that, it'll take so much strengthening gel just to get a little bit of it. Anyhow, I felt like he wanted to share something with me. I just went ahead with it.
"Yo! Shiki!", he shouted. He's more loud than Ishimaru, my ears are going to cringe. But then, proper conversations are a must.
"Ohh.. hey.", I said in a unmotivated tone.
"You're the last one I haven't introduced myself to yet.", he said. I was waiting for him to give out his name and talent.
"I'm Yasuhiro Hagakure, SHSL Shaman.", a shaman huh? Well, which aspect of shamanism exactly..
"A fortune teller in other words!", I hate fortune tellers. And I won't consider myself one. I need to speak out.
"A fortune teller... Interesting.", I told him.
"Now that I have met you, I already saw your future. A great reading indeed!", really? That was fast. I was expecting a crystal ball or any ritualistic gesture.. What can you expect from a shaman like him?
"But before that, I will demand a cost of 100,000 yen. Usually it's for two hours since I took a long time consulting the rest of us.", I'm guessing you demanded that much from them huh? Ugh..
...
100,000 yen.. No. Just. No. This guy is a rip-off, unless if his reading is very accurate. I'm a psychic for crying out loud! I don't need him for my future, I have my powers!
"I'm not interested.", I rejected his offer.
"You think I'd pay that much just for a reading? I'm sorry.", it's true. I'm not that gullible.
He sounds pissed. Very pissed. "You should be happy that you will get such a rare interpretation from me, a SHSL Shaman!", are his words going to be a defense for his skills?
"Oh yeah, are you really that good?", I challenged him. I'm not going to believe him until I've witnessed it.
"Well, all my readings come in match 20% of the time!", he rubbed his head. 20% out of 100%? What the hell?
"... Seriously?", now I wanted to leave the conversation and proceed with my plans.
"Yeah!, ahem...you...", he's doing a weird gesture with his magical crystal ball.
"...", staring at him with discomfort.
"Are going to drive yourself crazy and kill yourself!"
"...", still looking at him with no reaction at all.
"Goodbye.", I went into my room immediately ignoring him.
"It will happen to you! You will come back for another reading!" he shouted as we distanced each other.
Yeah. I don't like him. He's a weirdo. And a loud mouth.
Hope's Peak Academy : First Floor
- Shiki's Room
- Monday
- 4:58 p.m.
Automatic locking mechanisms, how handy and secure. I looked at my room again for a while and had a feeling that something was flawed. I checked all my cabinets and drawers for any convenient items. Just clothes, notebooks and pens plus a toolbox. The atmosphere didn't feel right, and it's just an hour before our first official meeting. I should decorate my room for a little style and festivity, no problem with Monokuma right? So I went to the storage room for a little scavenger hunt.
Hope's Peak Academy : First Floor
- Storage Room
- Monday
- 5:04 p.m.
So this is the storage room. Boxes, boxes and... boxes, I wonder what's inside each one? I took out one box from a pack of them and carefully placed it on the ground. I opened the box and found a lot of items cluttered like a toy box. I found a cute stuff toy, a rabbit doll with a pink theme. I also found a box of crayons and a coloring book. We're in a high school, who would use these things? Elementary youngsters. I got a bunch of marble statues of a headless man in formal uniform. There were 4 of them actually. That's just scary... But I'm taking one anyway because I like it. That's it for the first box, now for the next one.
I placed the box aside to get another one for something else. I obtained a picture frame of a bunch of students in a gym. Neon lights and balloons suggests that there was a promenade in this school. A previous class I suppose? Next was a book that contained no words whatsoever, except for the first page which said, "16. 2. 4. 8. 9. 11. 13.", I guess I'll keep this for the sake of it being mysterious.
I returned that box again but upon placing it from the top, a bunch of paper swayed downwards to me, directly to my face. I grabbed it and this was something I should be keeping to myself and remain hidden at all costs. I'm getting somewhere with this, good thing I decided to decorate my room and obtain something critical as this. This was a good scavenger hunt for me. Now I need to... Oh...
I got a lot of stuff from the storage room.. this is like a shopping spree, only it's free and it represents garbage collecting. Great.. now I need to carry this all the way back to my room. I'm not that good with carrying this much. Sigh.. Sakura, help me please.
So I tried carrying my heavy package, I managed to lift it but my fingers were in pain! The pressure my hands can handle for a while, not going to last. Wait.. what time is it?
...
5:57 pm. I took this long? Wow, I was cherishing my moments inside the storage room with collecting. Oh, so many gorgeous items. I'm sure Ishimaru will be okay with it. He won't take it seriously.
I was going to the hallway, until someone called me out. It was him, by his facial expression and mood, he's encouraging students to be early as him. That's a good thing to do, though it would be great not to be pushy.
"Shiki, good day to you! May I remind you that you are going to be late again. Your tardiness previously was considered a bad example to a school environment, I will not let it happen again.", at least he's not that loud. Well, that's the SHSL Hall Monitor, you're talking to. Obey the rules of the school and do your best. Good for him.
"Do you require my assistance? You seem to have difficulties in lifting your household items.", he asks. I guess I do need some help. I nodded in agreement.
"Very well, I will be carrying the right side while you do the left.", he instructed me. So I carried the left side with equal effort of course. He's a kind and helpful person, an excellent role model to schools everywhere. We were carrying the items I had into the cafeteria since the meeting is going to start. As I entered the cafeteria, I saw everybody in their seats. The only available one for me are two unoccupied chairs. One where Togami and Fukawa are, and the other between Ishimaru and Kirigiri. Obviously, I'd go away from the braggart and stay with the crowd.
"Oi! Shiki! My bad from last time." The biker apologizing to me, he is slouching putting his two legs on the table. He's hard-headed but at least he gave me an apology. Let's forget about that now.
"Before we start our first official Hope's Peak Academy meeting, some of you do not know this new friend of ours." Ishimaru suggested that they should introduce themselves to me, since I do not know some of them. I only know Naegi, Maizono, Kirigiri, Ishimaru, Fukawa, Celes, Aoi, Sakura, Leon, Hagakure and Fujisaki. So that makes 11 out of 15 I remember of, time for the remaining five.
"Hello everyone. I am Shiki Takashi, I suppose you already know my talent... Great to meet you all.", I introduced myself.
"Mondo Oowda. SHSL Biker. Yo.", still laying down from his chair. I replied back with a "Yo." as well.
"Hey! Nice to meet ya! I'm Junko Enoshima, your very charismatic SHSL Fashion Model!", she seems very energetic and sociable. That's adorable.
"I'm Hifumi Yamada, the 2D Fanzine Maker!", fanzine maker. His works are colorful and the thrill stays amazing. I can say the same for the plots. I wish he could 3d too.
There's one person who hasn't introduced himself yet, and that person is with Fukawa well, partially. He wasn't interested in all of this and was impatient about getting the important information from all of us. Byakuya Togami, the SHSL Heir.
There was a silence in the cafeteria for a while.. it was a bit awkward. Ishimaru needed to begin our first meeting. Attendance was checked, everyone is here so now would be the time.
"I'd like to announce our very first Hope's Peak Academy official meeting! We shall begin with reports about the school. Specify anything that you've searched so far.", he said.
"I'll start things off here.", I raised my hand to get their attention and follow forth.
"I was with Fujisaki at the cafeteria and kitchen. We found a bountiful supply of food, have it vegetables, fruits, you name it. Somehow, Monokuma appeared out of nowhere.", one of the things I reported.
"You and Fujisaki found Monokuma?", Junko asked in surprise.
"Well, yeah. She asked him on how the food supply replenishes every now and then. He didn't tell us how food transportation works but it just does.", I returned with an answer. Several groans and sad expressions grew off in the process, Oowada was next to give what he has to say.
"Well, I had to take a good look on giant-metal door here and it won't budge one bit. Not even Sakura can manage a scratch on that thing. Damn, they really did a good fucking job on making a cage. Sons of bitches.", was the cussing really necessary? "Anyway, that's all I got.", with the end of his report.
"We checked out the dormitory and each of us was given a key to our rooms. They are also labeled with a weird, pixelated drawing of us at the front doors." Junko said. "Plus, each room is soundproof. I almost tripped on something and then it made a loud screech that even I couldn't stand. I had it tested with Naegi and Maizono by the way. Kinda suited to our needs during a good night's sleep."
"Wait, you had your keys? when I entered into my room I had no key with me but the door was unlocked." I told them.
"We were given our keys together with our ElectroIDs, maybe you lost it?" Maizono asked.
"No way. I only got my ElectroID. Maybe Monokuma forgot to give me my key. Though the door being unlocked from the very beginning is a small issue."
"Oh, also I have a sewing kit in my room.", Junko added.
"Oh, me too!", Aoi said.
"I have a toolbox though.", Naegi joined in.
"So it would be presumed that the females have sewing kits while the boys have toolboxes." Sakura concluded this report.
"Ahem.. Anything else to report?" Ishimaru told everyone.
"Ugh.. A-all your investigations are useless, there's no p-point in doing this in the first place. What more if the future culprit will be one of us." Fukawa stated, trying to bring the atmosphere down. Again.
"Oh, I beg to differ. The fact that we are prisoners in this building with no hope of escape is the inevitable truth." Celes corrected her. It sounds negative but I have to agree with her.
"Ggh! I want to go home! Let me out!", Fukawa panicking. Looks like she snapped.
"It's useless if we just complain here. Nothing's going to happen if we scream for help." I told her. "Let's just adapt ourselves to the situation we are in."
"So... I suggest that we add some rules of our own. We go together in threes. Since we are 16, there will be 5 groups. Wherein one of us will have 4 people instead of 3." , this was a suggested rule I written during the reporting of the others. I have other suggestions but I take it easy one at a time.
"Please be specific Shiki." Sakura told me.
"Very well then. Starting today, the 5 groups of three will have to stick together only on the morning. Before proceeding to the cafeteria, you should wait for your groupmates whether you like it or not. Basically, stick together before going to sleep. That's it." I said this in big detail.
"Any more questions about this rule?", I asked just in case anybody has misunderstood.
"Yeah, who's who in the groups?", Leon ask a question.
"Well, I have assigned you guys based on who's closest in each room. So here are the groups I have distributed: Group 1 will be Ishimaru, Kirigiri and Naegi; Group 2 will be Oowada, Togami and Maizono; Group 3 will b-"
"Hold on! When were you leader of the group?", Oowada interrupted my debriefing.
"I ain't gonna take orders from Monokuma and I ain't gonna be taking orders from you!"
"Well, it's your loss. Besides, once one of us will be willing to kill, people who are alone will have the most chance of either getting killed or being considered a suspect. I won't force you." I reprimanded.
"Moving on, Group 3 will be Fujisaki, Junko and Fukawa. Group 4 will-", someone interrupted me again.
"I o-object! I don't want to be with Junko!", Fukawa shouted.
"You're really annoying you know that.", Togami with a pissed look on his face while saying it to her.
"Eeh!", Fukawa putting herself in proper behavior.
"What's wrong with me? I'm friendly for crying out loud, everyone likes me for that..", Junko protested.
"Fukawa, just stick to the rules alright? Stop complaining about who's who.", I gave a sigh after that.
"Group 4 will be Celes, me and Aoi. And the last ones are Sakura, Hagakure, Leon and Hifumi. That's about it.", those were my last words for this meeting.
"So we have to live here forever?", Fujisaki asked me.
"We adapt to our surroundings.", Celes said.
"Huh?"
"You see, it is not the strongest or the smartest that survive but rather ones who can make fit on any environment they are at.", she told us.
"So with that in hand, I have a proposition for everybody to agree on."
"A proposition?", Leon wanting to know what she will say next.
"It's quite simple. Like Shiki's idea of making a rule, I will add a rule of my own as well. During night time, walking outside our rooms is forbidden."
"W-where are you getting at?", she asked her.
"Don't you realize? Without this rule, we will forever have nightmares about murder. The boys having toolkits can pick our doors and kill us.", she has a point, kind of scary though.
"This rule will only become effective as long as everyone will cooperate."
There was silence again for a few seconds with a little murmuring.
"So is this rule approved Shiki?", so I'm leader? Ok then..
"This rule and mine will be come in effect starting now. Ishimaru, are we done here? It's going to be night time within one hour.", I told him.
"Oh, of course. I call our first meeting to come to an end. You are all dismissed, I will see you all tomorrow.", And so come to a close with our first day here in this despairing school.
"Don't forget the rule I told you guys about.", I better assure they follow my rule too.
So we all grouped ourselves and then left group by group, leaving me with Celes and Aoi. I carried my box again but this time, I had Sakura carry it for me. My call for help has been granted, I didn't even predicted that. It was quiet when we walked our way back our rooms.
"So this is good night then?", Aoi wanting to go back to her room.
"It would seem that way." Celes answered.
"I will wake up early and wait for the both of you tomorrow. Have a good night's sleep.", as I bid them good night. Now it's just me and Sakura.
"Thank you Sakura for carrying my things. I appreciate your strength and yourself.", I gave her a little bow of kindness.
"It is of a good habit I chose to do in times of leisure besides my physical training. If you require any assistance involving physical chores, I will train you.", Is she saying that I should get stronger like her? If only I had the time to do that, then I will. I gave her a smile before I went to my room.
Hope's Peak Academy : First Floor
- Shiki's Room
- Monday
- 9:38 p.m.
I just realized that I still don't have my room key yet. How am I supposed to keep myself safe or rather... Wait a second, how did I get in my room? I thought the doors had auto-locking mechanisms in each room.
Until Monokuma appeared in a blink of an eye, in front of me. Literally. How? I can't even. I screamed a little and was startled. It's like a ghost! But since it's Monokuma, I don't want to talk to him, but there is a reason on why he is in my room or maybe he wants to make fun of my talent.
"That's one hell of a reaction from you!", Monokuma laughed.
"..."
"What do you want? Why are you here?", I asked him in a negative tone.
"It would seem that you don't like someone who is as adorable as myself!", shouting in glee.
"That was loud. Oh yeah, soundproof rooms.", I told myself.
"Anyway, I came in here to give you your room key. I kind of lost your key and decided to make one again.", he gave me the key to this room.
"Also, may I remind you that you have a toolbox set up and the door to your bathroom is not locked." Monokuma added.
"..."
"Alright then, good night! It's 10:00 now so the school announcement should trigger by yours truly. If you will excuse me..." He left my room and disappeared.

The cafeteria's doors will be locked shortly. You are forbidden to enter it.
Well then, good night. I wish you all have pleasant dreams...
