A boy who's been in poverty his whole life and is always looking for cash, y/n Soul is accepted into Hope's Peak Academy for being the "Ultimate Thief" due to him being the metaphorical anchor in many large scale thefts and robberies. However, thing...
Everyone is moving to the gym, a few chatting with each other, but some remain alone and silent. I'm a part of the latter, still having a pit in my stomach about this whole thing. I can hear a few people talking, but I tune it out, too focused on how weird our situation is. I don't show it on my face, but I'm really nervous about this, Pino rustling anxiously in my pocket is enough proof of that. Eventually we arrive in the gym where everything is set up like a normal entrance ceremony. There's a few rows of chairs with a large red carpet splitting the rows in half. There's also a large podium on the stage.
Hiro: See, what'd I say? Told you guys it was a normal entrance ceremony.
Maybe I was making a big deal over nothing. I mean, no other people being here is strange, but maybe they just do ceremonies one class at a time, and maybe the metal plates on the windows are to keep any other people from breaking in and stealing anything. I keep trying to think of ways to rationalize everything, but I can still feel Pino shaking in my pocket. I'm about to put my hand in my pocket to make her movements less obvious, but am interrupted by a voice echoing throughout the gym.
???: Hey there, howdy, hello! Is everyone here? Good! Then let's get this party started!!
Everyone turns their attention to the stage, where the voice originated from. And, after a few seconds of waiting...

A...bear? Seriously, what is this thing, a beta version of a care bear? And what's with that creepy red eye? And that smile too?
Bear: Now I know what you all are thinking, and no, I'm not a robot teddy bear!!! I am the headmaster of this magnificent institution, Monokuma! Pleased to meet ya.
We all stared on in shock, some more than others, but still. And why wouldn't we? If a robotic bear jumps out of nowhere and starts spewing nonsense, I doubt anybody would be to calm. Hifumi is the first to stutter out a sentence.
Hifumi: Wh-Whaaaaaa!?! That teddy bear is...it's...talking!?
Taka: Calm down, there's probably just a speaker inside of it.
The bear- er, rather, Monokuma-seems upset at Hifumi's comment.
Monokuma: HEY! I told you already. I. Am. Not. A. Teddy bear. I am Monokuma, your headmaster, and don't any of you go forgetting it!
Hifumi: NGAAAAAAAGH!! It's moving!!
Mondo: Jesus, calm the fuck down man. It's probably just a remote controlled toy or something.
Monokuma: Ehh!? I'm being compared to a child's plaything now!? You've cut me deep, deeper than the Mariana Trench! For your information, my inner mechanisms are so complex and advanced, even the folks at NASA couldn't hope to recreate or comprehend it. Oh, but don't tell any of them that. I just couldn't BEAR shattering any of their dreams like that.
