Danganronpa: Rejects of Despair

Prologue:

Taking a Trance On You.

Listen, I'm no protagonist.

In fact, I'm barely a side character if anything.

I wouldn't get attached to me if I were you I'm the type of guy who dies half assly at a beginning of a story to motivate the real star of the show.

I'm really nothing exciting nor did I expect to be.

It's not like my talents are anything to drive home about.

I'm nothing special.

Honestly.

So... Why?

Despite being such a one-note character.

Despite having such a miniscule talent.

How?

Why?

Why was I accepted to Hope's Peak?

I look at the picture in the upper right corner a man in a black and white Tuxedo with brown combed hair, however, a little tuft of hair sticks up. I grasp my golden pocket watch as I read the letter I thought I never would read.

"You have been accepted Daido Ueno as the

Ultimate Hypnotist to our wonderful academy known as Hope's Peak."

Daido Ueno - Ultimate Hypnotist Age: 18 Height: 5" 8 Weight: 187 Birthday: April 17th Likes: Fancy suits, Science, Playing Cards Dislikes: T-shirts, Pessimists, Magic tricks Creator: LazyDuchBag

Yep. no doubt about it, this was really my name and definitely not a prank sent to me. This was real.

Hope's Peak is one of the most prestigious academies where only the best of the best are scouted for a single talent that they are the best in. It's one of the most desired school to go to by every student regardless of personality. I mean who can blame us when the academy practically guarantees success in life. A life of guaranteed happiness... it's a wonderful opportunity. The only requirement is to have a talent that surpasses any normal person's talent for said skill. Even so... I made it, despite being despairingly average with no hope of being anything else... Or so I thought. It appears that I do have a talent but I really don't know if I should call it a talent.

My so-called talent just so happens to be in hypnosis but it's definitely not what you'd think it's like. My whole life I found myself fascinated by the science around illusions. So my entire life that I had studied and perform the art of hypnotism. I even made a national ruler confess hidden secrets that were never meant to be told. The worst part is that it wasn't on purpose though, I was an entertainer at a party and the ruler just so happened to be there. As he volunteers himself for my hypnosis trick, I didn't realize that he was a ruler at the time and told him in the trance, "Hey is their any secrets you want to confess?" He then blurted out many national secrets and I was interrogated and surveyed for a month until they realized I meant no harm.

Contrary to popular belief, Hypnotism doesn't work how you would think it works. I can't force people against their will or any junk like that you've heard in fiction; hypnosis boils down to a science. A science I studied a lot in. It's definitely not an easy skill; The subject has to want to be hypnotized AND believe in hypnosis, in order for the trance to work. However, this skill is useless and it's nowhere near as cool as other people's talents. I mean if you compare being the Ultimate Hypnotist to any other talent like the Ultimate Game Designer or the Ultimate Moral Compass it would definitely be the other talent who would win.

There's nothing great about hypnotism.

Even though I say that... here I am.

The academy known as Hope's Peak, it's overwhelming presence making it so much harder to breathe or move. Anxiety fills my mind as questions of doubt filled my mind. Will I fit in? Do I even deserve to be here? Can I even interact with the other ultimates? Is this a prank? I try to calm down myself as I try to muster up courage and begin walking again. Left leg goes up, then goes down. Right leg goes up, then goes down. I continue this process until I reached the entrance door of Hope's Peak. I fling the door without a care and take a deep breath as I prepare myself one last time. I try to extend a foot but before I could I lose consciousness.

I immediately regain consciousness, however, something doesn't feel right. I look around at my surroundings and I see what looks to be a very worn out gym. I look at the ground and I see a faint logo design of some school but it's too faded I can't make out which school or what it is. Also, I note one more thing, a very distinct fact that I couldn't not notice even if I tried, it was the fact I wasn't alone. I find that there's 15 other people around my age standing there in confusion to what's going on.

"Wuh? Wuzn I suppose to be at Hope's Peak?"

"Is this the work of a monster?! If so is it up for the Sentai Rangers to stop them?!"

"Wait, huh was I too entralled with my archery strategy that I stumbled into an abadon building."

"I don't really like this story setup..."

"Everyone! Let's calm down!" A woman in a white dress shouted, gather eveyone's attention.

"I agree," conccured a man white a button up and a redshirt leaning on the wall farthest from everyone. "As unlucky as this seems, we need to not freak out and find what out happened to us. So does anyone remember how we got here?"

As he asks the question, none of us can come up with an answer. The story of all of us ended up the same; we were all on our way to hope's peak and once we took a step inside the building we were suddenly here. That just raises more questions than answers. Just why did we have no recolection of what happened? Were we abducted? If so where? This.. whatever this is... I got a bad feeing.

"Strange..." mutters the woman in the white dress. "Well we all might as well mingle with one another so we at least get familiar with one another, we might come up with something while we all meet with one another." With that suggestion we all disperse in order to introduce ourselves to the other captives. Now who should I talk to first?

After deciding with everyone that introducing each other would be the best point of action, I decided to initiate a conversation with someone. I then make my way towards a pale-skinned woman with pink hair with Twin Tails wearing A spandex outfit that has a red top with white sleeves and red gloves, red spandex pants with white and red boots and wearing red, knee-length skirt over the pants and a long white scarf going down to her knees. By her side, she is holding a red with a silver stripe around the back helmet. On the front of the suit top, I noticed a golden I, the Roman Numeral for '1'. As I walked closer to the girl she looked at me with her bright red eyes and a big grin. She greets me with a smile and practically shouts, "Any Evil that tries to harm the world I love must face the Ultimate Hero, Yuuko Yuusha! Otherwise known as..." The athletic girl strikes a pose with one hand in the air, her fingers spread, the other arm at her waist with her hand in a fist "Kibou Red!"

"…. H-Hey! don't just stand there in awe why don't you introduce yourself! It's embarrassing if I'm just posing to the air y'know!" The Sentai Fanatic yelled, embarrassed.

"Ah! Sorry!" I apologized profusely, I mean it's not every day that someone would claim that they are apart of the super sentai. "I'm Daido Ultimate Hypnotist."

"Ultimate Hypnotist, huh?" pondered Yuusha. "That talent ..."

"Huh? What about?" I gulp. What exactly is Yuusha thinking? What about my Talent? Is my talent bad?

"Hypnotist is used in so many super sentai episodes! I'm kinda jealous but I'm still fine with the talent I have!" She excitedly shouts at me. I see so she has the Super Sentai series on her brain.

"W-Well I better get going it was nice meeting you, Yuusha!" I hurriedly proclaimed, so I wouldn't have to deal with her fangirling of the sentai series. I don't mean to sound rude its just even if I bring up what I'm familiar with on the Super Sentai I think she'd overwhelm me with stuff I'm pretty I don't know about the show

"Oh Yeah! We're supposed to be conversing with everyone right? Well, it was nice chatting with you Daido but I have to converse with everyone else. Stay out of trouble!" with that Yuusha left me to my own devices. I can tell she has a kind heart but being a fan of Super Sentai so much she has her own outfit made after the sentai themselves can be a little... disturbing.

As I turn around to look for another person to find, however, as soon as I turn around I see a pair of eyes looking towards Yuusha in obvious amazement. Attached to the eyes was a slightly tall and out of shape male with black hair and a giant cowlick bang with a grey highlight in front. For his attire he wore a denim jacket with a white T-shirt underneath and to top it off he was wearing black jogging pants and red and black tennis shoes. As I made this observation he continued to gaze in awe with paying no heed to my presence.

It was actually very creepy how intently he was looking on at the Ultimate Hero. No, wait that's not true; it wasn't Yuusha he was staring at intently, it was everyone. He looked like the ugly duckling looking at the other ducks; he stood out like a sore thumb. It wasn't long until our eyes meet and he realizes he is caught in the act. "Ah! Um, I wasn't.." He trailed off as he puts his fingers toward one another; making his presence minuscule beside his stature. "I-I wasn't d-doing... a-anyt-thing b-bad... p-please believes me..." He was simply oozing out his worry and fear as he tried to speak.

Rather than wanting to cause a scene, I decided to reassure the boy. "Hey it's alright kid don't worry so much about it ok? I'm not going to think your weird or anything okay?" Although if I'm being honest I can't think of him any weirder than I do right now but luckily he took what I said to heart. "I''m Daido Ueno Ultimate Hypnotist what's yours?"

Then realizing he didn't even introduce himself "M-my name is Jason I-Issac Hutchins, and…I-I'm the U-ultimate... Sidekick… "

Jason Hutchins - Ultimate Sidekick Age: 16 Height: 6" Weight 200 pounds Birthday: January 6th Likes: chocolate, superheroes, comic books, giant robots, and drawing. Dislikes: elitism, favoritism, betrayal, and bullying. Creator: Colossal Fighter GX

Hm... Ultimate Sidekick huh? I guess that makes sense if you think about it, it would definitely explain why he was staring at Yuusha so intently at least. "Oh, I get it!" I blurt out in surprise, startling Jason. "You're interested in the Ultimate Hero, Yuusha huh? Makes sense since you are the Ultimate Sidekick."

"W-what?! I m-mean her talent i-is p-p-pretty c-cool..." Jason stammered while waving his hands up in the air sporadically. "B-but p-please d-don't m-misconstrue anything. I t-think e-everyone here is amazing y-you know? They all have something that makes them unique and special..." With that, he gave a shallow smile and looked at the ground. If I had to make a guess he probably was dissatisfied with his talent; I don't blame him knowing that your second fiddle to someone else with a skill that they are better than you at in every possible way is kinda... disheartening.

"Well it was nice getting to meet you, Jason," I say as I make my way to meet the other people trapped here. He profusely bows in such a pitiful fashion that makes me feel sorry for the guy. I decide then to speak one more time to him in order to cheer him up. "Hey, Jason." He stops bowing and even though I'm not facing him I can tell he's looking at me with expectation and curiosity. "I don't think it's some talent that makes the person amazing or something special. I think it's the skills of the person that they use in order to be amazing. That's what I think makes a True Ultimate wouldn't you agree," After saying that and looking back at his feeble stature, looking as if his breath was taking, I quickly make an exit.

Jason tries to do the same but he trips and lands face first on the hard wooden floor.

As I sigh at Jason's clumsiness I make my way towards another person to talk to. However, I wasn't entirely looking and I bump into a girl. None of us are sent to the ground due to the impact but that didn't stop the girl I bumped into from getting mad. "Hey! Watch it you Viagra-taking fuck." barked a girl with long ginger hair wearing a black worn sleeveless jacket and a white tank top. To top off her indie fashion designer look she wore red skinny jeans with holes that somehow added to the look. Her vulgar mouth was not something I expected but definitely not considered as a possibility. "Well? Aren't you going say anything limp dick?" This person... if there's anyone in this room I should be familiar with, she's absolutely the on.

If you look at the five movies of this year I will guarantee that she's been in at least 3 of the movies as the star lead actress and the other 2 movies she has a secondary lead in it. Regardless of the roles she plays, she always gives a stellar performance but I suppose that's a given for the Ultimate Actress, Cira Tamko.

Cira Tamko Ultimate Actress Age: 15 Height: 5"9 Weight 163 pounds Birthday: March 16th Likes: Candy, Politics, Cosplay, peace signs Dislikes: Rom-Coms, Plants, Cameras Creator: SugarSprinkesAndMurder

"Pardon me, I wasn't looking, Cira, Right? I'm Daido Ueno, Ultimate Hypnotist" I politely greet her as I continued to gaze at the famous celebrity in mild bewilderment. From the majority of the roles where Cira plays a soft-spoken kind-hearted individual; it's quite bizarre seeing her act like...

"Oh, so you heard of me, huh Pencil dick?" The actress beams upon being recognized "You don't look like one of my creepy stalker fans nor do you look like that desperate to be seen as a virgin to be a part of any news outlets. Oh, wait are you one of those poor saps who hasn't heard of porn and fapped to my face in the magazines." She looks at me with eyes full of tease and a laugh.

-this. This was not what I was expecting. I mean I understand that actors have different personas than the one you'see on T.V. but this is a little different from what I expected. "No! I-I just have seen some of your movies. You did a pretty good job in them," I say to reassure her that I'm not a sick creep.

"...I see," she monotoned says, most of the playfulness she had was now gone. "Well, as long as you're not like critic bitch whose still on her period, you're okay in my books." With that, she leaves me alone to myself and I only have one thought in my mind.

Celebrities are weird.

After meeting with Cira I decided to look and talk to a less... loud individual and I find a young male teen who is a little bit short and slender with shoulder length raven black hair and he keeps pulling up in a ponytail. He has smooth caramel colored skin and big grey eyes. He wears a double-breasted dark green velvet blazer, a black and white horizontal striped T-shirt underneath it, and also presented with grey skinny jeans and dark purple converse. He wears a large bronze signet ring on the middle finger of his right hand and has his left ear pierced with a simple gold stud.

I approached the man, extend a hand to be shooken, and introduce myself, "Hey man, I'm Daido Ueno, Ultimate Hypnotist."

The man flashes me a smile and shakes my hand with such vigor. "Salutations Mr. Ueno," He greets, "It is a pleasure to have met a man as dapper in a suit as yourself. Nonetheless, my good fellow, this is a recherché development that will transpire us to be able to metamorphose into something greater. I mean look at us, me specifically, but look at us. Me, I am the finest of my prowesses of being a verbose individual whose still at the pinnacle period of my life where I still have room for growth to improve, and you, you are... a hypnotist. Oh pardon for my aggravating long-winded speeches, I just believe I have a skill I want to flaunt. Nonetheless, manners are manners. I'm Cairo Gamal-Nimr, Ultimate Linguist." Wow.

I immediately bolt away from the fast-talking sophisticated egotistical robot that is Cairo, and find someone else. I decide to pick a student at random and I head towards the first one I see. The first one I see is a girl with long black hair and her icy blue eyes looking around the room. She clearly had a presence of respect and authority. She's wearing a plain white dress that reaches to the top of her knees, her red Moral Committee armband around her upper right arm, grey leggings under her dress, and black boots. Our eyes meet and I shyly look away, however, I hear her footsteps approach me and I look up to find her not so far away from. "Good day sir," She salutes to me, feeling awkward I salute back. "Nice to meet you, my name is Justine Shields! Ultimate Moral Compass! '

Justine Shields - Ultimate Moral Compass Age: 15 Height 5"6 Weight 130 pounds Likes: Friends, Peace, Books Dislikes: Hatred, Chaos, Hurting others. Creator: (Guest)

I then inform Justine my name as I got to know hers. "Daido Ueno..." Justine mutters the name and then flashes a smile. "I'll be sure to remember that."

I nod and give a smile of my own to her. "I'll remember your name too, Justine." We both lightly chuckle until Justine gives me a serious look. "what's wrong Justine?"

She continues to give a serious look and says, "So, Daido are you a troublemaker?"

"Huh?" I asked puzzled.

"I'm asking if you like to break the rules," Justine states. "I understand that we aren't aware if this is actually a school environment... but if we're going to be stuck in this place, we should at least have some ground rules. 'Cause if we don't enforce rules will just run rampant wouldn't you agree?!"

"I-I guess?" I hesitantly said. I mean I'm all for rules but there are times when rules can be more detrimental than actually helpful.

Despite my feelings, what I actually said make Justine jump with joy. "Oh, I'm so glad you think so! You're really are a nice guy! I hope we get along in following the rules!" She flashes me a smile and gives me a thumbs-up, even I can't help but smile at her antics. "Oh, would you look at the time! We should introduce our selves to others, take care, Daido." With a smile and a wave, we bid each other adieu.

After meeting with the Moral Compass I point into the next direction. I then run into an athletic lean man who has almond-shaped green eyes with thick eyebrows. He has short blonde hair styled with a messy fringe undercut. His attire consists of his black ball cap, red windbreaker jacket with grey tees underneath, black jogger pants and red sneakers. He also is sporting archery gear which consists of arm guard on his left arm, archery gloves on his right hand, quiver on his right waist, and chest guard on his left chest. The man is no stranger to tattoos since he has two tattoos on his body, an ouroboros tattoo around his right wrist and an eagle tattoo on the nape of his neck. He sees me and greets me with a warm smile and handshake,"Hey man Nice too meet you. Names Akihito Shoji and being the Ultimate Recurve Archer is my game!"

"Recurve Archer?" I wondered aloud. "Is that different from normal archery?"

Upon having that question be spoken aloud, Akihito and his warmness faded and all that was left was a tense feeling mixed with dread. "How naive!" He shouts. "Let me educate you on archery!"

I take a step back and put both my hands up to brush his offer away. "N-no that's quite alright," I uttered as I tried to slowly back away from this conversation.

However, before I can leave I felt his hands on my shoulders give a tight grip. "You must though!" He insisted. "Do you want to remain ignorant about how archery, one of if not the greatest sport in the world, works and the different types of archery?!" As much as I want to say no since I am held captive against my own will I listen to him ramble on about archery. "You see there are two main types of bow for archery: Compound, which in its own right is a good bow, is a bow that uses a combination of cables and pulleys in order to give the user a more mechanical advantage. Meanwhile, recurve bows are more powerful and faster to shoot then other bows are. However, keep in mind that, recurve bow is less forgiving to shoot since the reduction in thickness means it is possible to torque the limbs when pulling the string if your form is off. That also means you have to be quite skilled in order to shoot it, which is why I..." He drones on for five more minutes until he lets me go.

After being given an earful by several of the people I met, I hope I bump into someone less talkative than them. As I'm thinking about who I talk with, I am interrupted by a soft-spoken voice, "This is boring..." a voice beside me whines, apparently she doesn't see me. I turn to see a short skinny girl with a thin face and a couple of freckles, wearing blue framed glasses that compliments her sky blue eyes. She has short, blood red hair, with some hot pink highlights at the end, and wears a single earring on her right ear. For her clothes, she wears a Maroon shirt under a golden sweater with a maroon skirt and she wears black High socks and white shoes. Also, the girl has a scar on her arm "How droll that we're getting all the introductions out of the way. Such a poor way of starting a story."

"Um..." I piped in so that she notices that I'm here. She definitely wasn't expecting me but she's not startled at all. She looks at me to see what I want. I then began to speak again to explain myself, "I'm sorry to interrupt but, since we're all introducing ourselves I thought I'd let you know that I'm Daido Ueno, Ultimate Hypnotist."

"Hmm..." The red-head notes. "I see well it's good to meet your acquaintances my name is Natsu Kuro, the Ultimate Critic."

"So Daido," Natsu began. "Is that all you need to know?"

"Yeah," I respond, "But if you would like to talk a little bit more-" and she already left. Well, I guess I got what I asked for when I wanted someone less talkative. Natsu Kuro seems very peculiar, I'd like to at least get to know her better. However, it does remind me of what Cira offhandedly said, critic bitch huh? That's probablyrefering to Natsu. I don't think she was being a bitch but with Cira, she might have taken offense or something.

For the next person, I confront is a male wears a white coat styled like an old-fashioned doctor's coat and in his left hand he is holding a dark brown leather briefcase which contains surgical tools, scrubs, examination tools and a pot of the best earl grey. As well as this, underneath his lab coat, he wears a pale blue shirt with a folded back collar, over which he has a light brown knitted sweater-vest, decorated with many pins in the shape of a brain, a medical cross, and a scalpel. On his lower half, he wears a pair of brown trousers held up by a black leather belt, held by a buckle also in the shape of a brain, pockets in the trousers. Attached to the belt he has equipment that would be used in a surgery of sorts, wearing a neat pair of grey socks and smart black dress shoes.

As for his facial features, are all proportionate to each other in terms of position so he doesn't appear to have any particularly remarkable features, with the exception of a pair of bold red colored irises. With a slightly pointed chin, his face shape appears slightly angular and his skin marginally tanned. His eyebrows are thin and quite flat, with an upturned nose and a small mouth which seems to spread in a small polite smile. On the bridge of his nose sits a pair of grey rimmed oval glasses, of which his fringe sometimes hangs in the way and seems a minor annoyance to him. Regarding his hair, it is quite neatly trimmed and cut to a little way before his chin, shaded auburn with a few lighter streaks interwoven within.

I approach the man and he greets me,"A pleasure to make your acquaintance. You may call me Mister Tadashi. I specialize in the field of medicine regarding the most complex and beautiful organ in the entire human body, which is still shrouded in mystery: the brain. That is correct; I am the Ultimate Neurosurgeon!"

That was a very... interesting way of introducing yourself but I have seen worse... today. "Nice to meet you Tadashi, I'm Daido Ueno, Ultimate Hypnotist." I greet but I soon realized my mistake. "Oh sorry, you want to be called Mr. Tadashi right?"

"It's fine it's fine," Tadashi waved off my mistake. "I'm just glad you even remembered. I know it might be weird for you to call someone who is suppose to be your peer 'Mister'."

"Alright thank you for your consideration but I'll try to call you Mr. Tadashi," I reassure. Then I move my attention to the briefcase and I wonder on what it contains. "Hey, Tadashi what do you got there?"

"Oh, this briefcase?" He lifts up his briefcase gesturing to it. "It just has some tools I use for surgery. However, when I found myself in this building I appeared to have lost some of my equipment. "

"Huh? Did you? What did you lose?" I inquired.

"Well, what I lost was the tools that I would use in order to cut or remove... body parts for surgery." He explains it all nonchalantly.

"Cut and... Remove?" I gulp in surprise at the eerie implication.

"Hehehe," He chuckles. "Don't worry about it too much, they are intended for a medical reason. However, why were only those tools stolen."

"Hmmm... Could it be a health hazard?" I speculate.

"Probably not, it's medical equipment." Tadashi points out. "Well, I suppose we'll find out what that means soon enough. Well, I'll talk to you later Daido! Let me know if I can do anything to help you."

"Will do," I tell him as we both go our separate ways.

I then make my way towards a mountainous lady who is wearing long sleeve shirt, looking like it belongs to a security guard, additional details show a Japanese flag patch on right shoulder and security firm on left shoulder, with 'Hotaru Himura' above right pocket and badge to the left and a black and red cap. She has rather simplified short black hair, scarlet red eyes somewhat darkened skin and have a surprisingly built body. Upon further observation, she has worn and callused hands and slightly scarred arms. She looks at me and says, "Hotaru Himura, Ultimate Security Guard. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too," I greet back," I'm Daido Ueno, Ultimate Hypnotist."

"I see, duly noted," Hotaru says with a nod and goes back to being silent.

"..." Ah, this is getting a bit awkward both of us aren't talking.

"Hey," Hotaru says getting my attention. I look up at her. Could she want to start a conversation? "I'm going to leave now..." Ah, I guess not well meeting with her was interesting, to say the least.

The next person I introduce myself is a boy in his late midteens, having a rather athletic build that shows he either moves a lot of exercises often. He stands at a solid 5'10 in total, having defined muscles, this being one of the main reason most think he is quite active. He has a healthy, milk chocolate skin tone that is clear of any imperfections with a small hoop earring in his right ear. His eyes were closed but was seen as an almond shape. At the lower outer corner of his left eye is a small beauty mark. His eyes are always half lidded and in an almond shape, having rose red irises with no pupils whatsoever. At the lower outer corner of his left eye is a small beauty mark. The slight straightness of his hair comes from his mother the color comes from both. His hair is snow white, it straight, being a shiny that is comb back, reaching his lower back, strands of hair sticking out wildly in a messy fashion, curving in random directions as if none followed the same route, flaring out like flames and that went well with his black highlights. His bangs are puhed to the sides of his face, framing it as the come to a point and also slightly framing his eyes with a bang at the center of his forehead, sticking straight up with a curve, anothim bang crossing diagonally to the left of his face and touching the corner of his mouth.

He is seen wearing a royal purple, a sleeveless jean vest that is constantly unzipped, having the design of a red heart on the center of the to the vest is a thin cotton hoodie that matches the color of the vest itself, always kept down. Being worn under the vest was a short-sleeved white t-shirt that was noticeably longer than the vest as it reaches over his black, loose-fitting cargo pants that are tucked behind the far tongue of him purple, single white stripe sneakers. Around his left wrist is a thick, white band that reaches from the start of his wrist and to the start of his forearm. On his face, hanging low on his nose was a pair of thin, purple low rimmed oval glasses with a miniature metal K at the center.

"Nice to yo' man," He introduces himself. He speaks in a low voice, very slowly and tired-like. "Names Kamron Luca Di Carita..."

"..." I wait for him to continue.

"..." Kamron remains quiet. "Hey man, can we get dis o'er wit? I wan' to be done wit dis as soon as possible."

"... Aren't you going to tell me your talent?" I ask. waiting for his talent.

"Oh drat," he stated. "Yeah, I don' really remember..."

"What?!" I ask in shock. "How could you forget your own talent?!"

"Eh, iz not dat important man," He responds lazily. "I'll remember it... eventually..."

"Um, shouldn't that be more of a problem for you?" I ask.

"Iz fine man," Kamron reassures me. "Besides, shouldn't we worry 'bout why we're even here man? We should focus on dat first. My talent can be somethin' to worry about, later man..."

"I guess you're right..." I reluctantly agreed. "Well, I'll talk to you later then."

Kamron lazily waves bye. What an odd guy.

The person I talk to next is a girl who has black long length hair with a few red highlights and crimson red eyes. She wears a plain black shirt with a red hoodie also wearing blue jeans. She also has a few bands on her arms with characters from different franchises on them. "Hi, I'm Aya Sakurai the Ultimate Game Designer hopefully we can get along."

"Say Daido," Aya begins to talk. "Doesn't this feel like a setup to a video game?"

''Does it?" I inquire. "I wouldn't know, I don't really play video games, really."

"What?!" The game designer exclaims in surprise. "You've NEVER played a video game?!"

"I didn't say that but-"

"This is absolutely horrid!" She practically shouts. "You haven't experienced its coding, the story, the mechanics, the coding, the gameplay, the CODING!"

"Well all that sounds... interesting but I really don't think-!"

"Nonsense!" She blurts out, "I'll be sure to work on a game that can be worthy of your first game. In fact, I'll start working on it right now!" With that, she takes a swift exit.

... Well, at least she means well. I think at least. I hope...

The next people I run into are in a pair. One is a dashing man talking to a young lady. The man being restrained has short, dark brown hair which is spiked up with gel. From what I can tell from his face at this angle he has almond-shaped hazel eyes, a short nose and a strong, square jaw with a light complexion. When it comes to his clothes, he's wearing a black buttoned vest over a white collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms and an elegant bowtie which is also black. His pants he is wearing black trousers and black dress shoes. From what I can tell this man looks to be quite dashing.

As for the woman, she has green eyes, pale skin, and a dark blue shoulder length with her fringe being clipped by a leaf hairclip. Her attire includes a black trench coat with a high collar over a grey shirt, a finger-less black glove on both of her hands, and a knee-length white skirt with black boots. She also has a belt with a symbol of flower in the middle of it.

"Oh pardon me," I say politely as I approach them. "I'm not interrupting anything am I?"

"Actually you are," The man tells me. "You were interrupting a lovely heart-to-heart and you just so happened to interrupt it."

"Ignore him," The woman speaks up. "This baffoon here was trying to flirt with me but I was honestly getting tired of him."

"Ouch, that hurts sweetie," The man jest as he clenches his heart and acts as though he is hurt. "I thought what we had was special!"

"Anyways," the woman just diverts her whole attention to me, ignoring the man. "Greetings, I am Takagami Rena. As for my talent... *sigh* it's the Ultimate Botanist."

"You kinda acted depressed when you mentioned your talent is something wrong?" I question.

"It's..." she starts and she darts her eyes away from me."It's nothing, I just need to recollect myself after dealing with that man." She gestures toward the man who has been trying to get her attention when she started ignoring him. She then swiftly makes her own exit, leaving me with the flirtatious man.

"Ah such a bother," he sighs but quickly regains composure and flashes me a smile. "I guess I should introduce myself, Name's Shitoshi Sakabayashi and I'm the one and only Ultimate Mixologist. Do you like what you're seeing?"

"Man, I really don't appreciate you being an anti wingman dude," Shitoshi chided. "However if you tell me one of your deepest darkest secrets I'll forgive you."

"What? No!" I refused.

"I'm kidding of course," He says. "I haven't blackmailed anyone in my entire life. Although..." This guy... "Now don't give me that look man, I'm just kidding around take a joke. Lighten up a little sheesh. Though if you want to talk over a drink or something, I'll make you one, but for now ciao!" He gives a wave and says goodbye. I see him sauntering his way to where Aya and Justine, probably to flirt or something. Is that all he thinks about?

I then make my way to the last girl that I haven't talked to. The girl has black eyes and shoulder length black hair. She wears a plain gray shirt and a light blue jacket with white star patterns on it. She also wears black pants and a navy blue bow on the side of her head. Also has a few scars on one cheek from cutter blades. "Hey. I'm Dehi Sio, the Ultimate Origami Artist. Sup?"

"Nice to meet you Dehi," I greet.

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you too, hey do you got any paper?" She asks me.

"Paper? I repeat the last part of the question. "Why would you want paper?"

"Well I am the Ultimate Origami Artist after all," she retorts. "It helps me calm down but it seems like you don't have paper huh?"

"I mean I don't but-"

"Well, then I think we're done here." With that, she leaves without a care in the world.

Finally, I approach the last person that I have met. The last person is a male who has piercing red eyes, black like a black cat's hair and a button up shirt rolled up to its sleeves and unbuttoned enough to show his red shirt underneath. I try to approach him but he stops me, "Don't take another step," He snarls at me. "You just need my name right? I'm Kiyoshi Matsudo, the Ultimate UNlucky student."

"So Kiyoshi-"

"Don't call me that," He interrupts me. "I don't see you as a friend nor are you much of a superior of mine. Call me Matsudo."

"Really?" I groan exasperated.

"Yes,"...Matsudo deadpans. "I don't want people to think that we're on buddy-buddy terms when we just met."

"Alright," I resigned. "But about your talent what does it-"

"Just steer clear of me okay," He explained with a deep sigh in his voice. "If you don't... I can't guarentee your safety."

"W-what do you mean by that?' I hesitantly asked.

"Hmm..." Matsudo then makes a giant smirk, "What do I mean by that, I wonder?"

Before I could do anything else a voice, that was definitely familiar but not someone present at the moment began to speak, "Alright...testing testing is this thing working?" The voice brought everyone from their prior engagements and look on at the end of the room. The eerie voice was coming from around the podium on the raised platform but there was no one there.

"Huh? Is that someone from the school?!" Akihito asks with extreme hope.

"Or it could be the one who kidnaped us," Himura offered.

"So everyone's here?" The voice asked. "Well if everyone is ready I guess it's time for me to appear." With that from beneath the podium, a black and white colored bear popped from out.

"A bear?!" Yuuko shouts in surprise. "Is this a rejected sentai enemy?"

"Enemy?" The bear pouts. "That's such a rude thing to say."

"I-it talked?!" Aya shouted, in surprise.

"How rude!" The bear seethed. "I'm not an 'it'. I'm Monokuma! Do I need to just shout my name like one of those radioactive animals that do the bidding of ten-year-old kids?"

"M-monok-k-kuma?" Jason uttered, as shocked and weirded out like the rest of us.

"That's right!" The bear known as Monokuma praised. "I am Monokuma your headmaster at Hope's Peak's remains!

"What a plot twist," Natsu muttered as she bit her thumb and narrowed her eyes in a faint show of nervousness.

"You're the headmaster?!" Cira shouts. "Bullshit, unless you are some furry loving fuck and a midget, I don't believe it!"

"Wait," Matsudo spoke up. "Did you call this place Hope's peak's remains?

"That's right!" Monokuma confirmed, "This is the first ever Hope's Peak Academy and this is the battlegrounds for the Start to the end killing game!"

"What is this about a killing game?" Tadashi asks "Why would anyone want to play a game like that?"

"I'm glad you asked!" chirped Monokuma. "You'll have to play the game. If you want to escape this place!'

"What?!" shout Dehi. "You're only joking right, this is a prank right?!"

"Nope, no pranks here!" Monokuma denied. "You must kill someone if you want to leave. It's as simple as that. How you want to do it is up to you!"

"Stop messing around!" Cairo commanded with all the anger in his voice "No one is going to kill.

"No one?" Monokuma wondered. Then he quickly put his face forward leaning on the right side to make his red eye pop out more to us. "You can't say that for sure, can you? It's like poker you may have a good hand yourself...BUT how can you say the other competitors have a good hand of their own. For all, you know they could have already caved into my so-called bluff. Or is it a bluff? Who can say for certain."

As soon as he stopped talking murmurs and shouts of protest filled the area. People uncertain with each other, not aware of what the other was thinking. Some trying to regain order but I knew it was lost. The seeds of doubt that Monokuma had planted were enough for everyone to succumb to his claim.

I knew for a fact that the Start to the end killing game had officially begun.

Anyways take care and I hope these chapters were worth the wait.
