Undestined Love (Mijukuna ai/未熟な愛) Byakuya Togami x reader

Chapter 5: Arguing

"You must kill someone if you want to leave," My mind froze and my breath caught in my throat as I thought about that...I could feel a paralyzing fear slowly making its way through my body, dominating every last nerve. The air hung heavy on me, pressing down like a weight around my neck. It took everything I had just to endure that weight...But for as heavy as the air felt...all it took to pierce it was her sharp words.

"So? What are you going to do now?" Kyoko Questioned. "Just stand around glaring at each other?" Kyoko pointed out. Her pointed comment was directed at everyone in the room.

It helped pull us back to reality.

"R-Right...She's right!" Taka agreed. "Sometimes, even if you're nervous or afraid, you just have to step forward!" Taka announced. "To forget such a simple fact...I can't forgive myself. I'm so ashamed!" Taka stammered. "Please, someone hit me! I can't forgive myself! Somebody hit me! Punish me!" Taka pleaded, looking like he was...gonna cry.

"Jesus. If you have time to yell about it, you have time to DO something about it," Mondo stated, annoyed.

"Perhaps, But...What is the mission, exactly?" Hifumi Questioned.

"Idiot! To look for a way out, duh!" Leon complained.

"And we totally need to find whoever is controlling that stupid bear and beat the hell out of 'em," Junko Commented.

"B-But before we do all that, maybe we should take a look at the handbook..." Chihiro Added, trying to knock some sense into some of us. "It's probably best to check out the school regulations Monokuma mentioned before doing anything else," Chihiro stated, she didn't want any of us to get hurt.

"True. If we stumble around with no clue what the rules are, something like that might happen again," Celeste agreed.

"Shit..." Mondo muttered.

"Fine. Then let's hurry up and check out the stupid rules already," Junko Complained.

After turning on my e-Handbook, the first thing that appeared was my name. So just like Monokuma said, the owners name showed up front and center. Then, from the Main Menu that popped up, I selected the school regulations icon. An itemized list appeared on-screen. It was the school regulations. In other words, the rules being imposed on us all.

1. "Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time."

2. "'Nighttime' is from 10 p.m to 7 a.m Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution."

3. "Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly."

4. "With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion."

5. "Violence against Headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of surveillance cameras." 

6. "Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes a "blackened" will graduate, unless they are discovered."

7. "Additional school regulations may be added as necessary."
