Just before graduating from Hope's Peak's talent development plan, the 77th, 78th, 79th classes, and a few extras are thrown into a killing game. This story takes place in a world where Junko held off on her plan a bit longer. With 56 students in on...
"Omg," cried Junko. "I believe the phrase is, 'post-apocalyptic hell scape!"
Several students raised questions such as what was going on, who was behind this, where are we, but most importantly why we were here.
"Here at Hope's Peak Academy, our core curriculum is murder!" Monokuma announced happily. A collective gasp flowed through the group. My motherboard let me know to fear. "Stabbing, strangling, bludgeoning, crushing, hacking, drowning, igniting, how you do it doesn't matter. You must kill someone if you want to leave. It's as simple as that. The rest is up to you. Give it your all to achieve the best outcome in the worst way impossible!"
"Um, excuse me?" shouted Junko, "What you mean we gotta kill to leave? God help you if someone gets blood on these boots!"
"Oh? The beauty queen doesn't know? Blood is actually quite in style!" the bear chuckled. "That ocean surrounding the campus is meant to keep you in. If you wish to graduate you must pass your classes Murder 101, Investigation 101, and class trials! Class trials are a required class while murder and investigation are basically electives!" With that, the bear suddenly disappeared.
"K-kill?" stammered a girl with dirty blonde hair and a brown skirt. "I don't wanna die! I don't wanna kill either!"
"Chihiro, it'll be okay!" smiled a girl wearing a pink vest. "C' mon, I'll play you all George Frederic Handel's 'Water Music', it's nice and soothing.
The girl was right, as she started to play a piano the calm notes visibly relaxed everyone. It even got my anxiety gauge to empty. But most importantly, Chihiro had been comforted. After the song had finished, Kaede, the one who had played the song, suggested we finish our introductions. We then headed to the cabins and found that each cabin was a four-room apartment. Above each of the fourteen doors were nameplates containing four to an apartment.

It seemed was grouped with Shuichi Saihara, Ryota Mitarai, and Kaito Momota. I noticed that Junko had been roomed with her sister, Sonia Nevermind, and Mahiru Koizumi. I guess Mahiru lucked out since she was the Ultimate photographer, having been paired with the Ultimate Fashionista and Ultimate Princess.
"I hope you like your roommates!," called Monokuma, "I couldn't BEAR to have you disappointed!"
The Ultimate maid, Kirumi Tojo, arrived just in time to hear the bad pun. "I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we rather not hear another joke from you."
"You've cut me deep. Deeper than the Mariana Trench..." Monokuma whined. "You young ones ought a learn to respect your elders!" He shook his head and continued, "Anyway, I'm here to give you each your apartment and room keys. Each student gets a copy of their groups apartment key, while each student gets their own individual room key. Further instructions about the keys are in the rules section of your student e-book."
