Whole New World

══════ •『 ♡ 』• ══════

Hours passed by, and the investigation and class trial were over. Turns out, the one who killed Sayaka was Leon, so Monokuma executed him. You couldn't watch, as it was too much for you to handle.

After the class trial, you went straight to your dorm, where you laid down to try and get some sleep. However... one thought couldn't get out of your head... Three people had died in the span of two days... What would happen now...? Who'll be next...? Only time will tell...

"Okay! Lift your arms up and down!" Monokuma exclaimed as classical music played in the background. He had made an announcement for everyone to gather in the gymnasium, and apparently, he wanted everyone to work out. The only person who was actually doing what he was saying was Taka... "One, two, three, four!"

"One, two, three, four!" Taka repeated with determination.

"Now reach waaay up, and bend waaay down! Tighten those muscles! Let's add a little strength, a little speed to those young bodies of yours! Ahh, doesn't this feel just great!? Being stuck inside like this, you gotta make sure to stay healthy!"

"You're the o-one keeping us 'stuck inside'..." Toko uttered.

"Don't sweat the small stuff! That's my motto. Whoa, I sounded pretty cool just now, don'tcha think? Did you fall in love with me? Am I just to die for? Am I just to die in writhing agony for?"

"So... why did you call us here? Certainly it wasn't just to make us exercise..." Sakura said.

"'Just' to make you exercise? Just to make you exercise!? If exercise makes you laugh, exercise will make you cry! Now, if you keep doing these exercises, you will uncover the secret of the Assassin's Fist! Passed down from generation to generation in the empire of darkness... The power can be yours!"

"That sounds like the kind of junk a middle schooler would come up with..." Hifumi said.

"It doesn't matter! Just get to the point. Did you really call us down here just to exercise?" Makoto asked.

"Of course not! You think I have that kind of free time on my hands!?"

"Okay, so then..."

"Ahh, I'd like to make an announcement! Every time you overcome a class trial here at Hope's Peak, a whole new world will open up to you!"

"A whole new world...?" Hiro repeated.

"It'd really suck if you had to live here forever with nothing new to stimulate you! Besides, I know how you kids get these days with your ADD and ADHD. I gotta keep you motivated! So go ahead, look around all you want! Enjoy the brave new post-trial world till you explode!"

With that, Monokuma disappeared.

"A new world...?" Makoto muttered.

"Is he talking about... a way to get outside?" Hina suggested.

"That seems... unlikely," Celeste replied.

"Well, we don't know till we look!" Mondo exclaimed.

"Whatever he meant, it seems we'll have to search the school one more time," Sakura said.

"Okay, then let's split up and start investigating!" Taka said, "When you're done, everyone meet back up at the dining hall, and we'll share what we found!"

"You're basically a one-trick pony, you know that?" Byakuya rhetorically asked.

"More like a staple food source! Now let's get moving!"

You decided to go with Celeste, Hina, and Chihiro. You all started to search the school when you spotted something.

"Guys, look," you said.

You pointed at the staircase. Before the class trial, they were blocked off, but now, they weren't.

"Ah, so this is the 'new world' that Monokuma mentioned," Celeste said.

"Let's go!" Hina exclaimed, running up.

"H-Hey...! Wait up...!" Chihiro yelped, following behind her.
