Where am I? What is this place? ..
Those were my first thoughts as I regained consciousness. It looks like a classroom only with windows boarded up. I examined the room and found a note that says "Please proceed to the gym." I proceeded to the gym with caution and as I opened the door, there stood 15 other students.
"Is that the last one?" A guy in a white suit said. Everyone was weary of where we were, I mean, who wouldn't be? Waking up in an unusual place with no memory of it.
"Hey what's that?" We turned our attention towards something that looked like a bear, a stuffed bear.
The lights dimmed and it pointed towards the bear. Its face was split into 2, one had a white skin and black eyes, while on the other half it had black skin and dark red menacing eyes. The stuffed bear started to move,
Pupupupu.. Welcome to my beloved school of despair! The bear said as it jumped down to meet us. I see that all of you are here safe and sound! That's good! Pupupupu it giggled.
"Who are you?" Someone asked
Pupupupu.. I am Monokuma, the principal of this beloved institution! You are the chosen few to participate in my game.
"Game? What on earth are you talking about?" She asked again
She's composed amidst our situation here. Who is she?
Pupupupu.. I suppose I haven't really explained what's happening here. Pupupupu.. All of you were chosen to participate in my little game. A game where you kill someone in order to "graduate."
"K-Kill someone?! Are you out of your mind?!" Someone shouted, the other students agreeing to his protest
Pupupupu.. But you see, You have no choice but to do so!
"We won't kill each other! That's absurd!"
"Surely someone will come to save us!"
Pupupupu.. We'll see if your Hope will prevail in my institution! Oh, and everyone is handed their own electronic handbook! Pupupupu.. That's all for now! Goodbye my beloved students! It said as it vanished into thin air.
Everyone was silent, slowly taking in all the information that was handed to us. Tension was rising, you could feel it in the air.
"H-Hey.. How about we get to know each other first? That way we can ease the tension. Surely, no one's going to kill anyone, right?" Someone suggested
"Then I'll start. I'm Rhian, The High School Extreme Level Detective." She said, cold as ice
"I'm Xinne! The High School Extreme Level Make-up Artist!" She said as she shook Rhian's hand
"Well, I'm Niea, The High School Extreme Level Confectioner!" The girls with the unusual pink locks said
"And I'm Chloe, The High School Extreme Level Cosplayer!" She beamed
"Aira. The High School Extreme Level Analyst." She seems cold too, unlike the two girls before her
Everyone continued to introduce themselves and they already started making friends. I also managed to get to know a few more people. From what I learned, everyone here has different talents. I myself have The High School Extreme Level Gymnast.
"Hey, you alright?" Josh asked
"Yeah, I'm alright. I was just lost in thought." I replied. He has the talent Extreme Level Gamer. You could basically see it from him, his headphones on his neck, jacket with a lot of different pins from different games, he sure is happy with his gaming career.
"Come on, let's explore this place a bit! Got some new friends to go with us" He invited as I nodded and went with our new group
We walked around, in hopes of finding an exit but almost everything in this place is shut, with no hopes of budging. It seems that everyone had split into groups. Our group has Josh, The Gamer. Ed, The Dancer, and Kyle, The Yakuza.
"Man, I'm tired of walking! Is there any recreation or gaming room of some sort here? My hands are craving to play some games right now" Josh complained
"I know right, with all this stress coming right at us, I agree we should have fun atleast." Ed said
"Right?" Josh sighed
"Come on, let's go back to the gym. Maybe the others found something" They nodded and we headed back
...
"Let's run this through shall we? We are currently on the first floor of this building since there were staircases leading to the upper floors but they're all sealed off. This floor has the gym, dorms, kitchen, and a canteen. All windows and doors possibly leading outside are all tightly shut. Not showing any signs of budging." Aira said
"Rules are also stated in our electronic handbooks," Zaira said, showing her handbook to everyone, "1. At 10 pm, we will be entering night time, where all lights are turned off and there is also no water available. 2. Some areas will be blocked off when we enter night time. 3. Only at a maximum of 2 can be killed by the murderer. 4. Any sort of violence towards the principal will come with punishments. 5. The students are prohibited from destroying locked doors. More rules will be implemented in the future. Happy Killings!"
"Those are just stupid rules set up by that stupid bear. Why the heck should we follow them?" Niea arrogantly complained
"We are being held hostage here and we have no idea who the mastermind is. I suggest that we follow these rules if we still want to see the light of day." Zaira debated. "There's also a map on the provided handbooks for and we are also told which dorm we are staying, name plates are also provided outside of your doors to avoid confusion."
We continued discussing about the findings till we heard a loud banging on the wall, followed by a concerned voice of a girl.
"Hey, calm down will you? T-That won't solve anything!" Soo said, calming Ian down
"Damn it. Damn it all!" Ian frustratingly punched the wall again. He is the extreme level boxer after all.
"There are no doctors here, it is best to keep your injuries to a minimum." Zaira coldly said as Ian finally stopped
"Let's get your wounds treated okay?" Soo carefully said as they walked away from us
"Sheesh, does he have his fists for his brains?" Ken jokingly said
Pimpampompum! This is a PA Broadcast, We are now entering night time. Please make your way back to your rooms.
Everyone decided to do so as the broadcast continued for a short while, they bid farewell to their new friends as they went to their dorms. I have a feeling that everyone was not going to have a good sleep.
