Sixteen students were gathered inside the gymnasium, waiting for something to happen.
I was amongst them. My name is Thomas Villavicencio, and I was chosen to go here at Hope's Peak Academy, which was a school for people just in highschool that were the best at a certain talent could enter, so the only way in was through invitation. I heard that they put millions of other students into some sort of lottery and selected one to go each year as the Luckster, and I guess I was the winner, considering why I'm here with that ranking.
Harry, the Ultimate Fashion Designer (JUNKO IS A MODEL YOU MEMES), was the first one of us to speak after the long and awkward silence spent just standing around.
"God, how long are we going to be waiting? It's way past the time for he entrance ceremony, ya know..." The boy complained, scratching the back of his neck.
"Oh, shut up, you big whiny baby!" A small girl with the name of Suiko, and the title of Ultimate Pilot, shouted at him.
"Suiko, calm down! No need for shouting... Just leave Harry alone." Rico, Ultimate Comedian, stepped into the feud, trying to calm Suiko down and keep her from bring in her temper.
That was when the Ultimate Engineer, Otto, piped up in her usual timid voice. "Yeah! Suiko, you just need to take deep brea--"
"SHUT UP, YOU STUPIDHEAD!" Suiko shouted back, annoyed.
"Oh my god, will you ALL just be quiet for a damn moment!?" Ultimate Vice President, Aka, commanded in his usual strong voice. The feuding students muttered a few things before the silence grew again.
Eve, the Ultimate Movie Director, sneezed, as Chrystelle, the Ultimate Doll Maker, whipped out her hankercheif and started to rub Eve's nose.
"C-Chrystelle?! I-I'm... Fine, dangit!"
"No, you could not be 'fine'! You could be sick!"
Clarence, who was owning the title as the Ultimate Plumber, spoke at the two arguing girls.
"Now, now, ladies, there's--"
Terrence, known as the Ultimate Pianist, finished his sentence, since Clarence and Terrence were actually brothers.
"...No need to fight!" The other finished, and as soon as he did, the doll maker stepped farther away from the game planner, making sure to get out of her range.
More awkward silence. Great.
The Ultimate Gardener, Season, spoke up. "...Well, maybe we should just engage into some small talk while we wait..."
Anathem A., Ultimae Runner, nodded, agreeing with the girl's statement. Season nodded back at him, giving a small smile.
And that was what the others did for the remainder of the time. I, along with Murasaki Bara, the Ultimate Violinist, and Xavier, Ultimate Soccer Player, and Gavin, Ultimate Surgeon, stayed silent, not sure if we should even talk in this current situation. I mean, we all woke up in a classroom together, right after we stepped inside the academy and got some sort of strange feeling that made us unconscious. Once we woke up, we say that all the exits were blocked but some strange metal stuff. The two people who I guess I really got to know was Anathema and Season. Season seemed like a sweet and kind girl who was always bursting with ideas, while Anathema seemed really nice and well-mannered, so I could get used to him soon enough. Before I finally managed to get my chance to speak, a weird, cheery voice called from the stage area, as all of our heads turned and our mouths fell silent.
"Upupupupu!~ Thank you aaall for waiting! Nooow, let's begin, shall we?" The voice called as from behind the podium jumped out... A black and white teddy bear.
"Eh?! It's a dumb old teddy bear?!" Suiko groaned, being the first to react. The other Ultimates muttered things about the random bear as it piped up, replying to Suiko.
"Did you just blow from stupid town, girl? I am not a dumb old teddy bear!" The bear replied, looking very confused at the pilot, in which she got angrier than she was. This was a bit feud between the bear and the pilot, which Suiko three insults at the bear, with it replying with some. The other students quietly murmured various things around themselves, when something sudden went down.
"Shut up, you fucking toy! You can't do shit to me, can ya?" The girl shouted as she throw down the stuffed toy and started to beat it up, but something was odd, as a soft beeping played with the bear's red eye glowing to the tune, getting faster and faster, but she didn't pay attention to it. Anathem, being quick enough, shoved Suiko out of the bear's way, fast enough to save himself and her. Why, exactly, did Ananthema do that?
The bear exploded about a second after.
"Suiko... You're okay, right?" Anathema asked Suiko as he was adjusting her helmet.
"Ugh, I'm fine, you idiot!" Suiko replied to him, having a frustrated voice.
"Now, then. That will count as a warning. Next time you violate the headmaster, you violate the rules, which will cause you to get a punishment!" The bear's voice called, as it popped up behind Otto.
"Holy shit! When did you get here?!" The engineer scredched as she jumped up and fell down. The bear laughed at her injury.
"Hey, its not nice to refer me by 'you', you know! I'm Monokuma, your headmaster!"
Multiple small fights continued, mainly involving Suiko and Monokuma throwing down rude statements to each other until everything was somehow completely silent again, and the bear spoke up.
"So, you're trapped. I get it, you bastards... But, ya know, there's a way ooouut!~" Monokuma chimed, blush appearing on the while half of him.
"Wh-What is it? Please t-tell us!... We h-have to get out of here!" Bara spoke upin her quiet voice, timidly holding her violin case in front of her. The bear laughed his strange laugh as his eye started to glow continuously, and no beeping was heard this time. With the few words that he spoke, it sent most of us into a panic.
"You see, to get out, you just gotta kill someone!~"
