Neo Killing Game - Danganronpa x My Hero Academia

Chapter 1 : To Survive; Rise Up, Star-Touched Hero - Part 2 - Daily Life

The entire group gathered in the cafeteria. Mashirao and Mezou had shoved some tables together to form a long table that seated all 23 of the students. Once everyone was settled, Yaomomo began going down the rows, requesting any gathered information.

"Personally, my group didn't find much," She herself reported. "The locker rooms are exactly as we'd left them, and the locks are all still intact. No trophies, medals, or banners are missing, and nothing more was added to the shelves. The gym was deserted. The training tools are still in the supply closet. The windows had metal plates over them, and there were surveillance cameras in all the rooms and hallways."

If Mashirao could still move his tail, it would have been tucked between his legs in anxiety.

"We did find the laundry room, though!" Nejire decided to pipe up. "It replaced one of the extra classrooms. It's like the ones in the dorms, plus some bleach, borax, and other oddball laundry supplies." The bright lilt to her voice had begun to return, much to Mashirao's relief. Tenya would've liked this. Getting back to work on a game plan. He tried to ignore the twist of sorrow in his stomach.

"That isn't worth shit unless you want to wash your goddamn clothes or something!" Katsuki barked from the other side of the room.

"Oh yeah, Katsuki, what happened to... Tenya?" Denki asked, his voice softening on the last word. 

"Kurogiri came and whisked him away. He said they'd take care of him." Katsuki said, his words clipped. A heavy silence fell over the group as they took in that information.

"I'm sorry!" Eijirou wailed. "We didn't do anything..! We couldn't-!"

"Nobody blames you," Izuku cut him off gently. His voice shook dangerously. I can't blame him, though...

"If that's all," Yaomomo spoke up, hushing the murmurs of the group. "Then we should go down to the library and study some books on non-quirk-related fighting and strength techniques. Anything that'd help us fight the villains, or get out of here."

Mashirao, and the rest of his classmates, agreed with her idea. The group quietly got up and went down to the library, where the afternoon and evening were used for studying. All Mashirao learned was a possible weight trick that he'd try on the screws on the windows later. He really was starting to miss the sun.

It took the whole day to scour the entirety of the massive U.A. library, since Yaomomo decided to send half of the students on exploration duty again, in hopes of finding some secret passageway or weapons to use against the villains. At 10 P.M., the ringing of a bell sounded. On the new TV monitor, which was mounted on the library ceiling, a video flashed to life.

Mashirao stared in confusion at Monokuma's face on the screen. What do they want..?

"Ahem! This is a school announcement. It is now ten P.M. As such, it is now officially nighttime. Good night, sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite..! Upuhuhu!" With that cheery message, the screen flickered back into darkness.

Tooru, who was sitting next to Mashirao, shut her book with a heavy snap, a red, velvet ribbon bookmark caught between the pages. "I guess we can't operate without sleep." Her eyelids were starting to droop, and in an overwhelming wave of tiredness Mashirao realized just how sleepy he had become.

"You're right," Yaomomo sighed, closing her book and resting it on the table next to her. "Come on, guys. Let's go find the exploration group and call it a day. I suppose we can sleep in the dorms."

And like that, after a long day's worth of emotional rollercoasters, Mashirao made his way back to his dorm space, which he had been supposed to share with a certain class president.
