without despair than can be no hope- a danganronpa spinoff

Prologue- 1

...

i woke up and everything was fuzzy. my head felt like i'd been knocked out with a large metal object, and it hurt like hell. i didn't want to open my eyes and felt myself starting to drift off...

but i ended getting up any way.

i dont know why, probably some subconscious opinion, but i knew it wasn't safe to be lying there, on who-knows-what in who-knows-where. i could be in some grave danger. opening my eyes i found myself in some what of a dormitory, lying on a bottom bunk of one of the may bunk beds in this room. nobody else was here and i sat up, somewhat sleepily, to properly asses this situation. first things first

who am i?

i started poking around, trying to find anything that gave me any sort of identity until i found a list of names stuck to the door.

tsubasa jihara, kazuo yokoyama, taigen yokoyama, katsuro minami, hisanori kubo, mitsuaki sugimoto, takumi imaishi, and rikuto jasmine.

i could be any one of these 8 people. this didn't really help with who i am, so i decided to look around the bunk i woke up on. i noticed a small letter at the end of the bed. picking it up and deciding that it wouldn't hurt my chances by reading it. honestly what do i have to lose?

dear tsubasa jihara-

oh, so thats who i am.

congratulations on being admitted into the hopes peak high 83rd class! this year, we are doing things a little differently, so for all of the first term you will be cruising around the world!

ah. i think i faintly remember being admitted into hopes peak, but for the life of me i cant remember the reason why. but were they being serious about the cruise?! i ran to the window, not knowing what to expect. looking out, all i could see was blue sky's and blue sea. for all of the first term? i just hope nobody sea sick. after that revelation, i turned back to the letter.

in your chest of drawers, there will be your digital notebook and dorm key. the note book, will display your student id, the map of the ship and all of the school rules. there are two dorms, girls and boys, each has its own bathrooms, but you are forbidden to go in the opposite genders. curfew is at ten pm, and the doors to the deck, air craft hanger and other facilities will be locked.

wow, this thing has its own aircraft hanger?! cool, but why???

the cafeteria and kitchen will be open 24/7 and you will be tasked to make your own food. the introductory period will start today at 11:30 one the deck. we hope to see you there!

staff

once i'd finished reading the letter, i pulled out drawer with my initials on it, and there lying on top if some folded clothes, was my digital handbook and dorm key. picking both of them up, i turned on the digital handbook to try and find out the time. i dont want to be late. it booted up, and the first thing it displayed was my student id. there was a picture of me, looking like the most average person to ever walk down the street. black hair in a side parting, grey eyes, a shirt and grey trousers. somebody remind me how i got admitted into hopes peak? well even the digital note book doesn't know as it just displays my talent as ultimate ??? but i can find that out later. its almost 11:30 and i dont want to be late.

gingerly pushing open the dorm door, i stepped oust to be greeted by a massive THUMP and a stream of swearing.

i haven't been here for more than an hour but things have already began going crazy...
