Pool; Envelope

══════ •『 ♡ 』• ══════

The next thing you knew, you were standing in the pool area. It was a room filled with gym equipment along with a boys locker room and a girls locker room, which both led to the pool. As Hina freaked out - in a good way - Makoto walked inside.

"Oh, Makoto! Hey, guess what!" Hina exclaimed, "Guess what we found! A pool! There's a pool here! A POOL! Pool pool pool!"

"Y-You don't have to keep repeating it, I got it..." Makoto said.

"And there's a ton of exercise equipment in the locker room! Sakura's gonna go nuts when she finds out!"

"Yeah, you're right about that..."

"Oh! And I guess you need your handbook to get into the locker rooms!"

"Really...?"

"Really really!" Monokuma said, popping up once more.

"Uwaah!"

"If you wanna unlock the locker room, you'll have to swipe your personal e-Handbook across the card reader next to the door. However, to ensure maximum security within each locker room, only a boy's handbook can open the boys locker room, and the same goes for the girls! And that's the bottom line!"

"But what if someone, say a girl, opens the girls locker room, and then a boy sneaks in?" You asked.

"Anyone who commits such indecency will be punished without mercy for their scandalous sexual depravity!" Monokuma pointed up at a huge gun that was on the roof. "See, there's a Gatling gun mounted on the ceiling, right? And it'll be all DUKKA DUKKA DUKKA DUKKA!"

"I bet it'd really hurt to get shot by that thing!" Hina said.

"Um, no... I think it'd be a little worse than that..." Chihiro corrected.

"More like a lot worse..." You muttered.

"But what happens if someone loans their handbook to someone else?" Celeste asked, "A boy could borrow a girl's handbook, and that would get them into the girls locker room, would it not?"

"Wh-!? That never even occurred to me! To think someone could be so low, so cowardly, so devilish! Hmm... Okay, then how's this sound? Time for a new rule! As of this moment, loaning your e-Handbook to another student is strictly prohibited. There! So now nobody can give their handbook to anyone else, right? You like that? I'm kind of a genius, right? It's 'cause my brain is 100% cotton!"

"I do not imagine anyone would have lent their handbook out in the first place. After all, they would likely be held responsible for anything that person might do using the handbook..."

"But ya know, you seem awfully concerned with all this locker room security stuff..." Hina said.

"It's 'cause all you teenagers are sex-crazed maniacs! You're at that age you'd try humping a plastic bottle! So to keep anything unseemly from happening, I have to maintain a rigorous watch!"

"Then, in that case, I would ask that you keep the same close eye in our dorms," Celeste said, "If some man and some woman decided to share a room, there would be nothing to stop them."

"All I care about is protecting the holy image of the school itself! I don't care what happens in your private dorms! By force or by cunning, do whatever you want!"

"I hate you so much..." Hina uttered.

"Okay, so the new regulation is now in place! See ya!"

With that, Monokuma disappeared.

"Maaan, that stupid bear totally ruined my mood! Maybe I'll go take a dip to cheer myself up. Y/N, Celeste, Chihiro, you wanna come with me?"

"There is nothing I hate more than getting water on my face," Celeste said.

"Sorry... I'll pass this time," Chihiro followed.

"Yeah, same here. I wanna investigate more of the school," you said.

"How come! When you're in a funk, there's nothing better than a good swim to pull you out of it!"

"Sorry..." You said, "Hey, Makoto, can I go with you?"

"Huh? Oh, sure...!"

With that, you and Makoto walked out of the room, Celeste and Chihiro watching the two of you go with a bit of jealousy. You both walked side-by-side down the hall. Makoto glanced at you, a small blush on his face.

'Geez... She's really pretty...' He thought.

The both of you continued to walk until you made it to the library. Kyoko, Hifumi, Byakuya, and Toko were there. Something caught your eye: a laptop. It looked pretty old, and it was all covered in dust.

"It's broken. I tried pressing the power button earlier, but nothing happened," Kyoko said.

"Oh? Well, that's too bad. It could've had some useful information," you said, mostly to yourself.

"Hey, Y/N," Mokoto said.

You hummed and walked over to him. He was standing by a dusty shelf. On the shelf was... a letter.

"Hope's Peak Academy..." You read from the bottom right corner of the letter.

"It was buried under a thick layer of dust. It must have been sitting there for quite a while," Kyoko said, walking over, "Well, shall we see what's inside?"

"But... we shouldn't read other people's mail without their permission," Makoto said.

"What we shouldn't do is leave this here without finding out what's inside."

"O-Okay..."

Makoto broke the seal on the envelope and pulled out a single sheet of paper. He unfolded the paper and read what was written.

A/N: I just wanted to say that after the first trial, everyone decided to go on first name basis (except for Byakuya, because he's so much better than everyone 😒).
