Danganronpa: Despair to Prodiges V2

Tricked

(Kazuma POV)

It was now the next day and we all met up at Echidna's room again. This time Nami and Hanako joined us.

"Ok, as for our plan, I want to have Gojo as the spearhead. That way if Yuuki makes a move he will take care of it, and the rest of us will have to deal with Dazai."

"Surely you don't expect us to match his intellectual abilities right?" I said

"No, I will do that. I just need all of you to get information and report it back to me."

"Hmm...Ok, I can do that."

"Good." She said with a nod, "Then let's get to work. Firstly, I want you two to split into two groups. One group keeps an eye on Yuuki, and the other keeps an eye on Dazai. Based on Chemistry I would like the groups to be Luffy and Nami, and Kazuma and Aqua. Are there any complaints?"

"Um...What about Hanako and Gojo?" Aqua asked

"Hanako will be staying with me as a last stance if I ever get attacked. Gojo-"

"I'm going with Kazuma and Aqua."

"As he said."

So Gojo was going to be joining us? That was a huge relief. Knowing he could protect us if anything went wrong also made sure we had more wiggle room for risks.

"Well, we'll report tomorrow morning. See you all later." Echidna said with her same old smile

Gojo, Aqua, and I were all on our way to the hospital. Yuuki was said to be missing but he may have left some clues around.

"Hey, Gojo." Aqua spoke up, "Why are you so adamant about going against Yuuki? Is it because you're both the strongest?"

"Well...I guess it could be something like that. However, I personally believe Yuuki is the Ultimate Greed, meaning that he likely considers himself the strongest in the world. I need to take him down a peg if he does think that."

"You make it sound as though you're not the strongest though...Are you?" I asked confused

He gave a light smile, "If I'm right, I was a lot like Yuuki when I first got serious about fighting. However, I quickly got humbled."

"...You did?" I asked amazed

He nodded, "You likely have never heard of the name, but do you know of someone named Izayoi Sakamaki?"

I shook my head.

"When I was claiming to be the strongest, he punched me. That's all he did. It wasn't a hard punch, and it didn't rattle my brain, but that alone was enough to humble me."

"...How? Because you got hit?"

"Now we're going into my personal secrets, so let's keep it on the down low for now." 

I guess he was done talking about it for now.

We arrived at the hospital and searched around as a group. There was no sign of anyone being around until we reached one of the rooms, where there was a pen on the ground.

'A pen?'

I picked it up and examined it, I took out the ink from it and it seemed a bit had been used, so something had definitely been written down.

More importantly though..."He's gone." I said as I set the pen back down

"Yeah. Just like Echidna said." Aqua added
